Chapter 35: Confession of Guilt
In front of a thatched hut in Liling Village, a young girl is drying medicinal herbs in the yard. The girl was dressed in a pale blue dress, her long hair was tied with a ribbon behind her, her skin was a healthy wheat color, her slender waist was not grasped, and her eyes were as clear as autumn water.
The sunset sprinkled in the forest, and she silently watched the girl who had been missing for a long time, with mixed feelings. He was much more fragile than he looked, and he was deceived once by the people he trusted the most when he was still kind. Now that he was in this picture, he didn't trust anyone but her, and he couldn't be hurt anymore.
Min'er returned to the house, cleaned up the table, and prepared a light dinner. Xiao quietly stood outside the door and shouted coldly, "Yan Yu." ”
"Huh. Min'er replied subconsciously. A knee-jerk reaction is not a lie. In an instant, I felt like I was falling into an ice cave, and my hands and feet were cold.
Min'er, it's Yanyu.
Yan Yu also reacted immediately, turned around, and looked at the man in a black robe at the door. He took two steps back, grabbed the chopsticks in his hand like a sword, and said, "You, who are you?"
"It's me. With a shudder, he took off his hat, revealing a gray-blue face. Mori's white eyes had no pupils, but they were slightly red at the moment.
"Qi Rang, it's you! You're back!" Yan Yu saw that it was a contemplation, and dropped the chopsticks in surprise and ran in front of him.
"Yes, I'm back. I'm Qi Rang, but who are you?"
"I, I ······"
"Am I so distrustful of you?" Yan Yu approached Yan Yu step by step, and Yan Yu kept retreating, "Only you, only you know my story, only you know that Qi Rang is Xuan." You're the only person I trusted, and I thought you could trust me, but in fact you wouldn't even want me to know your name. ”
"No, it's not. Yan Yu held the table with his right hand and stepped back step by step.
"You're just as right as those people? You think I'm a monster, don't you? You're afraid of me, are you afraid of me!"
Yan Yu stumbled, touched the chopsticks before with his right hand, and held them in his hand like a life-saving straw.
Yan Yu just pointed at the eye with his chopsticks, but the eye seemed to be pierced by the rain of arrows, and froze in place, and a tear slipped from Sen Bai's eyes. Seeing this, Yan Yu immediately reacted, dropped the chopsticks, and hugged Jin's shoulder: "I'm sorry, it's not what you think." It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that the name 'Yanyu' also involves other people, I, I ······."
"Is anyone else the last soldier?" said with a wry smile.
"How do you know!"
He helped Yan Yu and asked her to sit down, "You still think about the last soldier, don't you? He left you here for eight years, and you still think about him?"
"He's got to have something important. ”
"What is important? Is justice what is important? Are those things more important than you? Love is love, and hate is hate. I love you, and I will not let anyone who dares to hurt you go; I hate him, and I can't solve the hatred in my heart even if he is broken to pieces; as for the others, what does it matter to me whether they live or die? I don't care! Why did he leave you for some irrelevant people!"
"Qi Rang, don't do this. ”
That cowardly and ignorant Qi Rang had already died in the dungeon. What kind of doctor is benevolent, what kind of hanging pot to help the world, are all fake! I am grateful to him and abide by his teachings, but he only wants the ancient way of medicine, and he wants my life! I can't even recognize the people I trust the most, I can't even save myself, so what's the use of me saving those people! Can they save me? How do I know that those who have been saved by me are also secretly thinking about how to kill me?"
Outside, dark clouds locked the sky, the wind howled, and thunder snakes appeared and disappeared in the clouds. It was dark over the pond, and in the howling wind, there was a faint sound of iron cables shaking.
The lightning flashed and flickered, outlining a vague black shadow on a zipline over the waterhole.
"You calm down, Qi Rang! You can't let hatred get carried away. Yan Yu cried anxiously.
"Calm? yes, I'm calm. In fact, I'm calmer than any of you. She took off her gloves and wiped her gray-blue palms from Yan Yu's tears, "You say, don't let the hatred get carried away. I say, don't let justice blind you. You believe that there is justice in this world, and I see clearly that there is only desire in this world. Whatever you do, it will hinder other people's desires, and they will do everything they can to kill you. Good people and bad people are all killing for their own desires, and I don't see any difference between them. The desire of the victor is righteousness, the desire of the loser is sin, and that's it. Then why should I live for the desires of others? Why should I not be allowed to fight for my own desires? I don't care about sinners and saints, I am a sinner, I am guilty! If that last soldier dares to hurt you for any righteousness, I will destroy his justice first, and then kill him. ”
Yan Yu seemed to be frightened by Yanyu's words, and sat in place, and the two of them were silent.
A bolt of lightning fell in the Zero Stream, splitting a strange cypress on the cliff wall into charcoal. Yan Yu was awakened by the thunder and looked up at the door. Against the backdrop of thunder, the figure of a man stands proudly, lonely and resolute. A cross-bladed steel spear was behind his back, and the cold light of the tip of the spear made the thunder inferior, and it was the last soldier.
"As soon as I confessed my sins, did the saint come to punish me?" said with a strange smile as he felt the aura behind him.
"Xiaoyu, come here. The last soldier stepped into the threshold and said in a deep voice.
"I ······" Yan Yu didn't know what to do.
"Quick!" the last soldier pointed his gun forward, aiming at the back of his neck. He grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, and didn't look back, not caring about the tip of the life-seeking spear behind him.
Yan Yu stood up and cautiously passed by his side. Still smiling, she looked ahead of the empty and didn't react.
Yan Yu came to the last soldier. The last soldier suddenly stepped forward half a step, grabbed Yan Yu, pulled her behind him, and said, "Are you okay? This guy may be dangerous." ”
As the last soldier spoke, his eyes were still looking at the motionless eye, and the tip of the spear did not shift at all, just a drop of cold sweat silently slid down his cheek. Yan Yu saw it in his eyes, knowing that he was really afraid that he was in danger, and remembered the man who worked hard to protect himself back then, so he didn't think much about it, and couldn't help but answer: "Hmm." ”
Yan Yu's voice was soft, but it was impossible to escape the ears of the eye. He turned around and sneered, "Yes, I'm a dangerous person. ”
"Who are you?" said the last soldier's hand holding the gun harder.
Yan Yu realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly played a round, and said, "No, you misunderstood him, he is Qi Rang'······"
"The enemy!" Yan forcibly took Yan Yu's words, "I am Qi Rang's enemy." ”
"Who is Qi Rang?"
"A dead man. ”
"I don't have time to talk to you, who the hell are you?" the last soldier stepped forward again, the tip of his gun pointed at the center of his eyebrows.
"Hehe, you already have the answer in your heart, what are you asking in a fake way?" ”
Another flash of lightning swept through, illuminating the room. The tip of the spear sank into the head of the dragon, and the eye was still smiling miserably, and the white eyes without pupils stared at the last soldier tightly. Yan Yu covered his eyes, not daring to look at such a terrifying scene again. The last soldier frowned. He took two steps back and pulled the steel spear out of his head, the hole in his forehead healed almost instantly, only the tip of the spear was still stained with some dark blue blood.
"The immortal body is indeed worthy of its name, and it is more disgusting than I imagined. The last soldier laughed mockingly.
"Thank you for the compliment. I have heard the prestige of your first mercenary for a long time, but I have never met him, and I have a question I want to ask today. ”
"You say. ”
"Do you love her?" she said, pointing to the hot rain on the side. Hearing this, Yan Yu's heartbeat missed half a beat.
"Love. The last soldier didn't want to answer, but looking at Yan Yu's eyes, he had to speak.
"So, why does she still call you 'Last Soldier'? Didn't you even tell her your real name? Are you worthy of loving her?"
The last soldier was speechless for a while, looking at Yan Yu, whose eyes suddenly dimmed, he was suddenly angry, and shouted: "You get out!"
"She doesn't even know your name, she doesn't trust her, and you're embarrassed to say you love her. What do you think of her? You don't deserve to love her!"
"It's not that I don't trust her!" the last soldier roared, "I forgot! I forgot! I grew up in a mercenary group, and I forgot what my real name was. ”
"That's enough!" Yan Yu suddenly stood up and drank the two of them, his voice suddenly lowered, "Look, I'm sorry." Let's go. ”
Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and took out a turquoise thing from the medicine bag.
The last soldier was alert, pulled Yan Yu down, stabbed Yanyu's hand with a shot, and shouted, "Be careful!"
The tip of the spear was raised, and the turquoise thing turned into fragments and fell to the ground, stunned in place. Lightning lit up the dimly lit room again, and the ground was not the poison that the Last Soldier had imagined, but broken necklaces and tumbling beads.
Two black flames burned in his arms, and he suppressed his devouring venomous resentment and said, "You have to pay the price." ”
The thunder and light rushed in the palm of the last soldier, and the thunder wrapped the dragon spear, and the blood threads converged on the surface of the dragon spear into dragon lines.
"Come on, monster. ”
