Chapter Twenty-Four: The Deceased

Leng shrugged his shoulders and followed, who expected that Qingyi was not going to go to the main gate, but was about to jump into the courtyard where she was locked from the wall, Leng walked next to her, and said stupidly: "I was thinking about why you invited me to go home with you, it turned out to be so that I could help you jump into the courtyard." ”

Ji Qingyi looked up at the rather high courtyard wall and said, "Two tunes for you to dance, is it cost-effective?" ”

Leng thin lips hooked slightly, and his big hand attached Ji Qingyi's waist, and flew into the courtyard on tiptoe. Ji Qingyi took his hand away from him, and then went back to his room. I didn't care about the cold standing by the wall.

Leng was not happy, walked over and grabbed Ji Qingyi's arm and said, "You don't care about me?" ”

Ji Qingyi raised his eyebrows and said, "This brother, it's dark now, don't you need to rest?" ”

Shook his head coldly: "I want to see you dance." ”

His expression was serious, and Ji Qingyi couldn't help but roll his eyes: "I'm tired, will you let me do it another day?" "Now let her dance for him, does he want to see her learn to zombie jumping?

Leng was immediately unhappy, stepped forward to wrap his arms around her waist, brought her close to him, and said in a deep voice: "You girl, why don't you talk like this." Later, you will teach me how to trust you. ”

Ji Qingyi tilted his head and said, "I didn't lie to you." ”

said with a cold face: "You clearly said that you would dance for me, but now you don't keep your promise." ”

Ji Qingyi pushed him away, then entered the side of the house and said, "I said it, but I didn't say it now." ”

Leng couldn't help but want to roll his eyes and said, "You are strong." ”

Ji Qingyi shook his head and went back to the house: "Thank you for the compliment, don't see you another day if you walk slowly." ”

Leng didn't let go, suddenly pulled her sleeve, and said affectionately: "Today is her death day, can you accompany me for a while." ”

Ji Qingyi was stunned for a moment, and said slowly with some understanding in her heart: "She? Is that the person? ”

Leng raised his eyes, those peach blossom eyes were not like a killer, his eyes were full of sadness, and Ji Qingyi nodded.

A tap of her toes led her to the roof.

Ji Qingyi looked up at the moon in the sky and said, "The moon is very round and there are many stars, have you ever heard such a story?" ”

Leng was dressed in red with a different kind of elegance, but he raised his eyelids with a gloomy expression and said, "What story?" ”

Ji Qingyi tilted his head and glanced at him and said: "This story is about all the people who die will become the stars in the sky to protect and care, as long as there are stars at night, the one you see the most dazzling one is the one that your old people have changed." ”

Leng tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Really?" ”

Ji Qingyi nodded and said, "If you don't believe it, look up, the brightest stars that everyone sees are different." Which of these stars is the brightest? ”

Leng Wenyan raised his head and glanced at it, pointed to a star in the northeast and said, "That one is the brightest." ”

Ji Qingyi looked in the direction of his finger, blinked, and said, "Why didn't I see the brightest star?" Wait for me to take a look at my guardian planet. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look around, then raised his hand in the direction of the upper left corner and said, "Look at that, it seems to me to be the biggest, brightest star." ”

Leng didn't look at her, just looked at her and smiled.

Ji Qingyi shrugged: "I won't comfort people, if you don't mind, can you share your story with me?" ”

Leng squinted his eyes and looked at the void, his eyes were empty that Ji Qingyi had never seen before, he licked his lips, and said in a dry voice: "I didn't call this name originally, Leng is just my code name." My original name was Chu Xiaoyao, and when I was six years old, I was rescued by the pavilion master and brought to the dark pavilion due to a flood at home, which is a place dedicated to training killer secret guards to serve the royal family. That's where I met her. ”

"She was a year older than me, and she came to the Dark Pavilion half a year earlier than me, and the children in the Dark Pavilion were all orphans, and so did she. She's small, but she's very good at using poison. In the beginning, she wanted to poison me. ”

Leng lowered his head and smiled: "In a place like the Dark Pavilion, one less competitor is one more way to live, so the children who have just entered the Dark Pavilion are the most likely to die." I was taken to a house that I said was nothing more than a furnished room like a prison cell. There were already a dozen children in it, and most of them were sleeping there with their eyes closed, and when they heard the sound, they just looked up at me and went back to sleep. I didn't feel so scared when I first saw so many of my peers, but what I didn't know at the time was that the people I thought were just children were thinking about how to kill me, and they were all waiting, waiting to see who would strike first. ”

"I probably hadn't experienced that kind of killing, so I still had a piece of dry food on me at the time, and I wanted to give them all a little bit, but none of them showed signs of wanting to pay attention to me, only her."

"She came up to me, and I thought she wanted to eat my rations, so I broke them and handed her half of them, and said, 'Do you want to eat?' It was probably this sentence that saved my life, and she later told me that she was going to poison it at that time, but she hadn't eaten serious food for many days, so she couldn't help but take it when she saw the dry food. ”

"She sat down beside me after eating the dry food, and then she took my hand, and she came close to me and whispered, 'You can follow me from now on.'" Later, it was training, and I was assigned to the novice area to practice the basic skills, and I had to fight with many children every day, fighting with each other in an undisciplined manner, the purpose was to kill others, and I couldn't use weapons yet. Of the 100 newcomers, only 20 of the dead and wounded remained. I'm glad to be one of them. ”

"Then we were fifteen years old, and we were eliminated by a terrible nature, no one was in a group with anyone, no teammates, everyone was an enemy, and we were taken to a forest, and there were wild beasts, and there were hidden weapons, and poisons, and so many things that killed people. I was with her, and by the time we got to the depths of the forest, we had already killed a few people. She is a good use of poison, and she is the most respected person among the many killers she has cultivated, but I am a newcomer who knows nothing. The Pavilion Master saw that she was not different from me, and told her that if she could kill me, he would give her a mission. ”

"Although we have been in the Dark Pavilion for more than ten years, we have never been out of the Dark Pavilion for half a step, even the killer will be full of yearning for the outside world, so if she killed me at that time, I would not hate her at all, because I don't know when I will be able to survive until I can take on the task, rather than killing every day in this dark and dark Pavilion, it is better to die earlier."

Leng's figure became more and more lonely, he fingered the scar at the corner of his eye, and said leisurely: "She is a very smart girl, she wants to come out of the dark pavilion, but she doesn't want me to die, so she came up with a way." While hiding from the beasts in the cave, she stared into my eyes, looked at me and said, 'The Pavilion Master said that if I kill you, she will send me a mission to get me out of the Dark Pavilion.' I was a little sad at the time, but when I thought that it would be better to die at her hands than at the hands of other people who didn't want to do it, I smiled and looked at her and nodded. She cried all at once, a handful of snot and tears on top of me, I rarely saw her such a gaffe, she cried and said to me: 'You have to believe me, I will not kill you, you believe me, I will definitely take you out of the dark pavilion, we will not come back after the dark pavilion.' I have only told her the name Chu Xiaoyao alone, and those who enter the Dark Pavilion will forget the past, and from then on they can only use the name given by the Dark Pavilion, but I want to tell her my name for no reason, and I want to hear her call me Xiaoyao. She saved my life several times, and even if she did kill me, I wouldn't complain, so I drank a bottle of poison she gave me. ”

"I don't know how she deceived the Pavilion Master, but when I woke up again, she had already led me to Jiangnan, which was far away from the Dark Pavilion. It was the happiest time of my life, we worked at sunrise and sunset like men and women do the same. I thought we'd be like this for the rest of our lives. And Jun Bu built in Nanqiu, Jun painted me to embroider and dance, thinking that poetry and wine were needed. Cloth meals, Coke for life. ”

Leng frowned deeply, he pursed his lips and said: "However, the pavilion master still found it, betraying the secret pavilion is a capital crime, she told the pavilion master that she is willing to apologize with death, and hopes that the pavilion master can open the net and let me go." ”

"All these years, the thing I regret the most is that I believed her in the forest, and if I had given myself my name, she would not have died, and perhaps she would have been free by now. What I have not done in my life that I regret is that this is the first and last thing.

Ji Qingyi was stunned, her heart was uncomfortable, but she didn't know how to comfort him, because it seemed very weak to say anything to comfort him now, so she only hugged him and said, "It's all over." ”

Leng shook his head and said: "Actually, I don't have a relationship with her, but I just want to be with her, I don't want her to die, I don't want to lose her, but I don't like her." Maybe I'm talking about something that doesn't have a beginning or an end, but sometimes feelings are like that, although later I also brought a little girl, who had the same petite body as her, but such a girl wanted to kill me, and I saved her countless times. Maybe the pavilion master wants to tell us that this is human nature, and she is the pavilion master's surprise, so the pavilion master let me go. Leng said and stood up, hugged her off the roof and smiled at her: "Thank you for being willing to listen to me so much, go back to sleep." ”

After speaking, Ji Qingyi suddenly said: "Am I similar to her in any way?" ”

The cold figure paused, did not look back or reply, and flew away.
