I scratched my head and said, "What is the daughter of the future, I am my father's daughter, ordinary people, even if my father and my mother used to be some great characters, they have all been put down after coming here, and now they are just ordinary people." ”

He didn't speak, staring at a certain place, his fists clenched and released, as if engaged in a complex psychological struggle.

Isn't he going to go? If I continue to talk about it, I can't sit still, after all, it's a strange thing to sit with a man wearing a dead man's skin. And I promised Yun Niang to help Yun Qing pick up the bones, and I still have to look for that mountain, and although I am not afraid of him, I am still a little uncomfortable.

I was about to find a topic to end this strange meeting, when he suddenly opened his palm and laid it flat on the table, and said seriously, "I can help you." ”

I was stunned and asked, "Help me?" Help me with what? ”

"You rust poison, I can help you."

I was surprised, "Do you have a cure?" ”

He shook his head: "There is no solution to the rust in the world, and I can't cure it." However, there must be other ways to cure it. ”

I flew in the air and jumped down the valley, and said in frustration: "I know, there may really be a way, but I can't wait, you have pretended to be the doctor in charge, and you know that my illness will not last long, and Song Lingjian can't help it." ”

"What if I could give you enough time to wait?"

I tilted my head, not quite understood.

"Rust has indeed eroded your internal organs, and it is deeply ingrained and incurable, and if you have to pull it out, it will definitely kill you. There are countless strange people in the world, with your identity and the ability of the Yan clan general, it is only a matter of time before you can help you find capable people. All you need is time to wait, and I can help you steady your poison from worsening so that you can wait for the real cure. ”

I was a little nervous and said, "Really? What method to use? What do I need to prepare? Or do you want to take any hard-to-find medicine? If you really have a way, no matter how difficult it is, I'm willing to give it a try, really. ”

It is very difficult to live, but some people say that they will die, and the time that so many dying people look forward to, they easily end.

He said seriously: "You don't have to prepare anything, all you have to do is believe me." ”

"Trust you?"

He tapped his fingers on the table and made a dull tuk tuk sound: "I will lock your life with my method, so that the rust will not continue to penetrate and deteriorate in your body, and all your states will stagnate, like—like a swimming fish suddenly frozen, time will stop on you, so that you will have enough time to wait." ”

"Frozen? So what will happen to me? "I was a little scared.

"You're going to fall into a deep sleep, you can only breathe slowly and your heart beats, your body doesn't feel anything, your consciousness may be awake, maybe you sleep with your body, I haven't tried it, so I don't know."

I held my hand that was trembling inexplicably, and asked cautiously, "Then, if I hadn't found someone who could heal me, would I have been sleeping like that forever?" That...... What's the difference between that and death? ”

He smiled coldly: "For you, it is indeed no different from death, but for the people around you, if you are still alive, there is still hope." If you die, all you leave them with is despair and pain. ”

His eyes were cold and misty, and I had a vague feeling that he might have remembered a very important person in his life who had died, so he could say such things.

I lowered my head, thinking carefully about his words, and my own feelings in recent times, yes, as long as I live, even if there is a glimmer of hope, I can make the people around me have hope, and death is too absolute, once I close my eyes and swallow my last breath, it is the eternal separation between heaven and man, it is the bottomless abyss and despair.

"It's normal for you to be worried, after all, there's a difference between living three more years and going to sleep right away. If you are worried that you have been asleep, you can agree on a time limit, and if they do not find a cure within a year, then I will untie the palm that is locked on you and let you wake up again. But when you wake up, the rust will travel faster, and your remaining three years may become a year, or even half a year. "He seemed to be making concessions, he seemed to really want to help me.

I bit my lip, I've always been a person who can't calculate, and now it's a matter of life and death, and I can't weigh it.

"Why are you helping me?" I don't feel like he's a helpful person.

"Repay your father's favor, he saved me." He understated.

"Daddy never asks for anything in return, you don't have to worry about it."

"I never owe anyone a favor, he is dead, but the favor is still there. I can't save you, but it's at least a way. ”

I smiled and said, "You are not as bad as you say." ”

His eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said, "You don't have much time to think about it, maybe the person who will regret it in the next moment is me." ”

"I ...... Can I discuss it with Song Lingjian and them? ”

"No, you can't. I don't have time to wait for you, you have to make a decision now, before no one comes to interfere with us. ”

I was a little hesitant, my life was at stake, and I really didn't dare to rely on the slightest opinion and opinion.

"You...... You're not going to hurt me, are you? I asked, shuddering.

He smiled: "Do you know that to lock up your poison, it will cost me most of my strength, I can't protect myself now, if I really want to harm you, spend half of my energy to help you, this harm is too much of a loss." Besides, if you have no wealth and no treasure, what shall I do to you? ”

I think about it, I have always had no grudges and no grudges with people, and I have never met this person, if he really wants to harm me, he doesn't have to spend so much money with me, and now that there is no one around, he can kill me directly.

"If there is really such a method, why did Song Lingjian never tell me?" I'd like to take a moment to weigh it up.

"This is just a procrastination technique, not a cure for symptoms, and the life-locking palm method is my original martial art, and others don't know it at all. Besides, are you sure your Song Lingjian will really tell you everything? ”

I sighed and was speechless to refute.

Song Lingjian did hide many things from me, and she never told me to my face that my illness was incurable. Maybe she's trying to find a way to save her, so she doesn't have to worry about it in vain.

"So, will it hurt?" I bit my lip and said.

He smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt." ”

"I- I have a lot of things to attend to, I thought, I'll go back to my room first, and write down the things I'm going to explain on a piece of paper so they don't have to worry too much—" I was trying to get things in order, but—

My eyes widened, and I looked down at my waist and abdomen in horror—

His palm was already pressed against my waist and abdomen, it didn't hurt, I didn't feel it at all, but my abdomen was sinking inward, as if I had suddenly been taken a big breath. My hands and feet slowly stiffened and cold, and my heart—my heart was beating so slowly—

I clutched my chest and looked at him in amazement—

I'm not ready yet—

I didn't even have a formal promise -

He hooked the corners of his mouth, my vision began to blur, and I vaguely felt his smile evil and cold: "I didn't lie to you, it doesn't hurt." ”

I felt out of breath, all my strength was gone, I stiffened back a few steps, and fell to the ground, thud, and the loud sound of myself falling echoed in my ears, but there was no pain.

He smiled and picked me up and walked under the eaves.

What does he want to do? Isn't that supposed to take me home?

"Y-why-why-?" I gasped and slurred, with something warm spilling out of my mouth.

I- Am I vomiting blood?

He put me at the door of Song Lingjian's room, with his head facing the courtyard, lying on his back I could vaguely see the sky outside the eaves, clean, clear, and quiet.

"I'm sorry I lied to you." He rubbed his face for a while, and after a wipe, Uncle Black's face disappeared and was replaced by an unfamiliar face, and my vision had become blurred, and I only felt that it was an ordinary face, without features, but very fair, and the corners of the eyes were drooping, which made people feel harmless.

I wanted to ask, my throat gurgling, and all I spit out was warm blood, and I couldn't make a sound anymore.

I'm so scared - I'm so scared! Am I going to die?!

There are millions of regrets in my heart, Song Lingjian has taught me a long time ago, and more than once - don't expect to meet everyone with kindness, don't trust anyone, why am I so stupid, why would I entrust my life to a complete stranger?

Now, I was so stupid as to take my life that I had left but cherished so much......

He took my hand, I tried to roll my eyes, what did he want to do?

He took my hand, dipped my finger in the pile of blood next to my face, and then, not far from me, hand by hand, drew something on the ground with my finger—

A circle, a circle, what is the drawing? What was his purpose in doing so? Pretend to be a mark I left behind? It would be nice if he used my finger to write, and Song Lingjian and they would definitely find out about it, because I couldn't write at all.

He is smart and meticulous.

I can't make a sound anymore, all I have left in my world is the sound of my heart beating slower and slower, don't stop...... Don't stop!

He crouched beside me and reached out to touch my face, the sound of his fingers rubbing against my face scratched my heart, he sighed, and spoke in a very gentle voice, sounding so kind and amiable, not at all like a bad person: "Everything should be over." I made a promise to you that I would never fulfill, and don't trust anyone else in the future. Not to the limit, they won't do everything they can to help you. Only in this way can your life be saved. ”

I frowned, there was something hot and wet running down my eyes, I was scared, I was afraid it was blood and not tears. I wanted to stare at him, using the last of my strength, but I didn't even have the strength to blink an eye.

"I haven't done anything good in my life, and I don't deserve the bright hope that everyone wants to chase. I got the position of power I dreamed of, but I didn't feel the happiness I deserved, your father is the real winner, and the one who lets go first knows how to make trade-offs and wins dignity. I didn't understand ...... Until losing her...... I should take her away, when everything can be stopped...... I should take her away......"

I closed my eyes and fell into endless darkness.
