Chapter 38 of Volume 7: The grass is green, and the sun is shining

The maid was gone and was taken away by her father. She made it a condition for her to leave me, and the old fellow Dulwich let me go.

I'm a soldier, and I don't care about life or death for a long time. I don't want Yaya to leave me, but I can't control the current form now.

Where there is life, there is hope. Being alive is the best choice. Yaya, I'm sure I'll always be with her.

It was quiet in the cabin, the light shining through the windows, scattered by the morning mist, emitting a faint halo, and the scene in the room was clear and hazy.

I stood quietly facing the rising sun for a long, long time, until a drop of dew fell from the eaves and I withdrew my gaze.

A slight sigh suddenly sounded in the room.

When I came back to my senses, I remembered that there was another person in the cabin: the priest.

Not right either!

It should be two people, Xiao Ruo and the sacrifice spirit.

When he looked for prestige, he saw a man in a cloak sitting on the ground with the foot of the offering table.

The hat on her head fell, and white hair like snow fell behind her.

It turned out that the priest turned out to be an old woman.

She seemed weak. I walked over and took her hand to help her up.

However, the moment my hand touched her wrist, I immediately froze: on her hand, there was a bracelet made of acacia beans.

"Xiao Ruo?" My voice trembled, my hands trembled, and even my soul ...... Also trembling.

I finally understood why she had said that it was very costly, and why she had emphasized again and again: I thought about it or not.

"Xiao Ruo...... "I couldn't hold back anymore and hugged her.

I regret it!

The price of this...... It's too big.

"Brother Yu Tong......" The white hair slipped down, revealing her cheeks.

The once round face is full of wrinkles at this time, but she is my Xiaoruo.

Even if she turned to ashes, I recognized her.

"Why are you doing this?" I finally couldn't take it anymore and tears welled up in my eyes. Don't ask why...... It's too late to ask why.

"As long as Brother Yu Tong doesn't regret it, even if Xiao Ruo pays for his life, he has no regrets.

Brother Yu Tong, in fact, in this world, Wei Ling is me, and the sacrifice spirit is also me. That's why I say that the spirit exists, and she doesn't exist.

In this world, everything you do has a price. Traveling through time and space, such an anti-heaven thing, is not something that can be crossed if you want to cross, and the price paid is often greater than what you get......"

"So, are you shifting all the costs to yourself? Xiao Ruo, how can you be so stupid? ”

"I want to do it too! But I don't have that ability. helped Yu Tong's brother travel through time and space once, and Xiao Ruo has already paid the price he deserves...... That was my youth. And Yu Tong's brother also has to pay the price he deserves, but they came relatively late. Brother Yu Tong, Xiao Ruo is really powerless, and he can't help you anymore. ”

"Nope! You've done enough. It's me who hates it, but I don't do anything for you. ”

She smiled: "I just want Brother Yu Tong to be happy, since Brother Yu Tong wants Princess Yaya to come back." Then I will help Brother Yu Tong get her back. Brother Yu Tong, in the years to come, you have to take care of yourself, if you are young, you will leave. In this life, it's good to meet you! ”

She closed her eyes serenely, and her hand drooped.

Life burns out, and in the end it is nothing more than tranquility.

She gave her youth for me. No! It burned out his youth.

I shouldn't have traveled through time and brought Yaya back.

At this moment, I really regretted it.

What you have, you never know to cherish; I lost it, and I regretted it when I came back.

It was my selfishness that killed Xiao Ruo, I only thought about myself, and never really thought about her.

I hugged her corpse, too tired to get up.

I owe her so much.

Yaya, since we are not suitable to be together, since we will bring pain to so many people together, then let's let each other go.

In this life, I will never see you again. I will not go out of this deep mountain and into the chaotic red dust.

Devoted his life, just for Xiao Ruo to guard the tomb.

It's the only thing I can do for her.

You forgive me.

It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes.

I should have understood these truths earlier.

I understand now, but it's too late, someone who loves me has already died for me.

I can't forgive myself.

……

Picking up Xiao Ruo's body and facing the sun, I walked out.

Xiao Ruo, from now on, Brother Yu Tong will always be with you and will not go anywhere.

……

Woke up, his eyes were moist again, and cold tears had already crossed his cheeks. The pain in my heart woke me up.

Rubbing his eyes, looking at the stars in the sky, he sighed.

I'm having nightmares again.

After Yaya died, I kept having nightmares. I still haven't come out of the shadow of her death, and I don't want to. But tonight's dream has changed my mood a little bit.

Perhaps, I should forget those sad pasts. If I don't let go of my obsession, Xiao Ruo may really die for me like in a dream.

Do it and cherish it, I can't forget what I should have done because of my grief.

I looked at the time, half past nine, it was still early. I don't know why, I want to call Xiaoruo, although I don't know what to say to her, but as long as I hear her voice, my hanging heart will be put down.

Find out her number, but I hesitated, today is June 7th, she is preparing for the exam, I still don't bother her.

After thinking about it, I still sent a text message: "Don't be nervous, rest early." ”

It took a long time for her to reply with a "good" word.

I breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the wicker chair.

I now realize that Xiao Ruo has become my only hope for life.

On the afternoon of June 8th. At the entrance of the test center, there was a sea of people.

I stood in the crowd of parents, silently watching every candidate who came out of the door.

At first, there were very few candidates, but after gradually increasing, they began to decrease again.

I kept standing and didn't move.

If you are a top student, most of them will come out last.

Sure enough, when most of the candidates went to celebrate the final liberation, a familiar figure appeared at the gate of the campus.

She was wearing a light blue dress, holding a uniformly distributed stationery bag in her right hand, and was looking around.

There were very few people at the gate of the campus, and she soon saw me.

"Brother Yu Tong," she ran towards me with a smile and threw herself into my arms.

Her move immediately attracted many hot eyes.

These gazes, naturally, are aimed at me.

"Brother Yu Tong, I didn't expect that you would really come."

"Today is your Liberation Day. How could I not come. Looking at her bright smile and her eyes that were so pure that there were no impurities, the haze in her heart was swept away, and she temporarily forgot the pain of Yaya's death.

"How do you want to celebrate?" I asked with a smile.

"I'm going to eat Brother Yu Tong poor tonight!" She touched her stomach and said aggrievedly, "I haven't let go of eating for a long time." For the college entrance examination, our diet is strictly controlled. ”

"And what do you want to eat?"

"Barbecue, barbecue."

I smiled and shook my head, and when it came to eating, she was really not polite at all.

Actually, where did I think of it: she would add liquor to her drink, a very high degree of liquor.

It turned out that from the beginning, she was here to buy drunk.

She hadn't eaten much of the barbecue before she got drunk. Holding me, muttering something, I couldn't hear it very clearly.

I was in a very low mood, so I took her drink with white wine and took two sips of it.

When I turned around, I saw her asleep on my shoulder. Two lines of tears crossed her beautiful face and fell on my shoulder.

I know what she means......

In the emotional scene, there has never been fairness.

I paid the money, hugged Xiao Ruo, who was drunk, and walked to my car.

She was still whispering something.

This time, I heard clearly: "Brother Yu Tong, I want to take care of you for the rest of my life." But I found that I couldn't, and there was only one person who could walk into your heart. She's Yaya......

I once told myself that I should let go. This unequal affection is destined to be me. It's time for me to let go. But I just couldn't let it go. I'm very happy, I'm happy to look at you, but I'm also very tired, I don't know when I'll be able to get through such days.

Maybe I'm too young to see through many things. I also want to grow up and understand more things, but I can't decide on such things......

Brother Yu Tong ......"

Her call, like a wind chime in the moonlight, makes a lingering sound, and every syllable touches people's hearts.

When I got to the car, I hesitated. Carrying her over the car, we continued towards my villa.

The weather tonight is not very good. The gray moon was completely obscured by the street lamps.

Passers-by and pedestrians all looked at us with a strange look.

And I didn't care, the hand holding Xiao Ruo was tighter.

The days of being able to hold her are numbered, and it is good to be able to hold her for a while longer.

She spoke in my arms for a long time, and then she fell into a deep sleep, her long eyelashes, sticking to tears, and flickering.

Is she crying in her dreams?

I do not know. Looking down at her red face, I felt an indescribable guilt in my heart.

It's not that I haven't thought about coming out of the shadow of Yaya's death and trying to accept Xiaoruo.

But I found that I couldn't.

I really can't do it, I'm a dead-eyed person.

Perhaps, this is also the best ending, and it is good not to let her in.

We've only been together for a few days.

After the eighteenth, I will leave this place and return to the world in which I lived.

The aroma of wine mixed with her body fragrance kept entering my nostrils.

Facing the night wind, I let out a long sigh.

clouds rise and fall,

Fate is born and fate is destroyed!

When I grow up, what I learn is only two words: accept.

Don't fantasize, face reality.

……

Starting from Earth, it takes more than forty Earth years to travel back to Wuer.

I'm going to start preparing for this somewhat long voyage.

Among them, what needs to be prepared is the material.

Supplies for daily life, as well as some supplies needed for the flight of warships.

From the nineth, I moved out of the villa and returned to the battleship, repairing the battleship and directing the robots to carry supplies.

Many of these things are not original to the battleship, but can be used instead. For example, coolants.

The battleship was parked in a remote place. Every day, trucks would come in to transport supplies, and occasionally transport planes from battleships.

Xiao Ruo was also there, she was more silent than before, less talkative, just calmly looking at me, looking at the robots.

I don't have as many words as before, even if the person I am facing is Xiaoruo.

Many times, two people sit face to face for half a day and can't say a word.

She has a heart, and I have a heart.

The necessary communication is just a few glances.

More than ten days passed in a snap of a finger.

It was the eleventh.

The wind was so strong that it made our clothes hunt.

The thatch and dog's tail grass on the ground were all bent over.

Xiao Ruo was dressed in green clothes, stepping on the glow, and walked towards me in the wind.

Her hair is very long, and it is blown up by the wind at this time, which is very beautiful.

"Are you finally leaving?" She came up to me, bit her lip, and lowered her head.

I nodded, looked at her, who was only half a head shorter than me, and said, "I'll come back to see you." ”

"You still don't want to come back."

I didn't speak, waiting for her reason.

Her voice was very sour: "Because I'm old......"

The world is silent in this moment.

They are most afraid of the ruthlessness of time.

"Take care of yourself!" She looked up, her blown-up hair pressed against her cheeks.

"You...... Take care of yourself too. ”

They were speechless and could only look at each other like this.

The desolation and reluctance in her eyes are still about to turn into substance.

"I love you!" Three words, shattered in the wind......

She stood on tiptoe and kissed me softly on the lips.

"I love you too!" Looking at her as beautiful as a fairy in the evening breeze, I lowered my head and kissed her on the forehead.

"But I don't want your love." She cried, and the tears that came out were quickly dried by the wind.

"Goodbye!" She turned and ran, stepping on the grass on the ground, shattering the desolation of the ground.

"Goodbye!" I waved at her back and watched her go until her weak back disappeared into the smoky grass.

Miao Dao appeared beside me, it was levitating, emitting a faint golden light.

I was silent.

After looking at the direction where Xiao Ruo disappeared for a long time, and after making sure that he couldn't see her anymore, he turned around and jumped on the Miao Dao.

The huge hull appeared in the air, obscuring the sky and the sun, but it did not block the falling sunset.

The wind was stronger in the air, and I stood on the deck, looking back at the grass, trying to find the blue shadow.

……

She appeared, standing under a willow tree, constantly waving into the air.

Faintly, there were tears broken in the wind, and her desolate cry: Brother Yu Tong, you ~ go~ Okay......

I couldn't take my eyes off it anymore, staring at the smaller and smaller figure under the willow tree, staring for a long time, and a teardrop fell silently, turning into mist in the wind.

I'm going to cry too......

Willow...... Stay......

If you should go, you will still go......

The clouds suddenly thickened, and everything that had once disappeared behind the clouds with the sound of the battleship's engines......
