Chapter Seventy-Three: Who's Whose Hope
"Have you ever seen the sea?"
On the way to Paradise Town, Kong Ying asked curiously, it was difficult for her to raise her head and turn her head, she was always facing forward, and her clear eyes seemed to reflect the blue in the distance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Yes." Chen Zhen pushed the wheelchair and walked very slowly.
The ground of the grassland is very uneven, and the wheelchair is very bumpy to walk, in fact, there is a flat road around the edge of the grassland, but Chen Zhen doesn't know, and it's too far, just now he followed Tian Yi like this, he went back the same way, plus Kong Ying also liked this feeling, and he was very happy, so he didn't change the route, and directly copied the shortcut.
"It's so good, you can see the sea ......" Kong Ying's voice was full of envy, and she asked again: "What is the sea like?" ”
She obviously picked the wrong person to ask about, Chen Zhen naturally couldn't describe the sea in flowery words, he just said: "It's big, it's very blue." ”
But these two words were enough for Kong Ying, she imagined, and said, "It's so good, isn't it the same as the sky?" Sunny day. ”
"Depending on the color, the sea will not be calm." Chen Zhen recalled the appearance of the sea, although the Pangu Continent was surrounded by the sea, but there were no cities and ruins by the sea, and no one was willing to risk their lives to see the sea.
As for going to sea, it is even more difficult, the blue whale used to be one of the largest and heaviest creatures on the earth, but now, there are many creatures in the sea that can swallow the blue whale in one bite, before the catastrophe, the ocean is an unknown world for human beings, the exploration of the ocean is only in its infancy, let alone now, the ocean is just a concept, a vision, and the degree of understanding is close to zero.
Kong Ying was silent for a while before she said, "It seems that I have no hope of seeing the sea, and even if I can really find a cure for me from you, it may be too late." ”
Chen Zhen glanced down at her, not knowing what to say, he remembered the voice in his head again, what is there on the beach? Why should you go? What happens when I go? He didn't think it would be a good thing, Xia Fan didn't fly to see it, but kept looking for an opportunity to kill him, Chen Zhen felt that it wasn't a bad thing, although she really planned to kill him.
"Do you know what disease I have?" Kong Ying has gradually become accustomed to Chen Zhen's retination, and she is not shy about talking about her illness.
"Diseases related to mutations." Chen Zhen pushed his wheelchair through the meadow and came to the edge of Paradise Town.
"Yikes! Got it right? Many people think it's ALS, no, Sister Tian Yi has already told you? Kong Ying looked back at him with difficulty.
"ALS is only related to nerves and muscles, muscle atrophy is not so fast, you seem to have a lesion with internal organs, in their eyes I am just a bone, the treatment and method are related to me, which means that your disease is also related to mutation." Chen Zhen voiced his analysis.
"In their eyes......" Kong Ying laughed: "In their eyes, I am the same, you know? The enhancement potions they have now are all related to my illness, and they were made through research, and my disease is probably only cured by them, but after waiting for two years and no results, I may not be able to wait for the third year. ”
Chen Zhen was silent again, pushing her to walk through the streets of Paradise Town.
"You should encourage me not to give up hope at this time." Kong Ying smiled again and glanced back at Chen Zhen.
“…… Don't give up hope. Chen Zhen repeated lightly.
"I won't give up, I want to see the sea, if I can cure the disease, there is hope, you say that after the Bai family unifies the Pangu Continent, how long will it take to repair the road to the sea?" Kong Ying asked with some excitement.
"I don't know." Chen Zhen was silent for a while and asked, "Kong Du went to cooperate with the Bai family because of you?" ”
"yes." Kong Ying nodded slightly: "I wanted to see the sea since I was a child, but it was too dangerous, my father worked hard to cultivate the roots, and planned to move to the beach after I was seventeen years old, he became more and more powerful, but I fell ill, very sick, and has not improved, especially can not suffer from the cold, to go to the beach must have heating equipment, otherwise I will die halfway, heating equipment is not difficult, but if there is no road, it is easy to break, my father joined the Bai family, the condition is that after the completion of the Bai family's century-old plan, the first time to build a road to the beach, So I can go to see the sea, I want to see the sea, I always told my dad. ”
After saying so much, she was already gasping a little, but she continued: "You must think I'm wayward, right? If I had died, or had stopped talking about the sea, my father would have had a better time, but...... I don't want to make my father uncomfortable, and my father will do his best to fulfill his daughter's wishes, so that is happiness, right? Try your best, even if you regret because of failure, it's better than doing nothing and regretting it when your daughter dies, I think so, maybe it's not right, but that's what I think. ”
By the end, her voice was a little hoarse, and she was panting harder.
Chen Zhen was an excellent listener, listened silently, pushed a wheelchair into a small restaurant, and asked for two bowls of sour plum soup, Kong Ying struggled with the spoon, but still insisted on drinking it by herself, wanting to do some small things within her ability.
"Dad must have killed a lot of people, right? In the eyes of many people, he should be a very bad person. Kong Ying took a few sips, felt much more comfortable, and asked Chen Zhen again.
"I'm not in a position to comment on him about killing." Chen Zhen also drank very slowly, and the sour plum soup was as red as blood.
Kong Ying smiled and said: "He is a very powerful swordsman, others will definitely not dare to say anything about him in person, but he must have said a lot of bad things behind his back, and the people my father killed should actually be counted on my head, but he has borne it for me, and I have to repay him in the next life." ”
“…… Don't give up hope. Chen Zhen repeated this sentence again.
"Well, I'll try to live until I fix the road and go to the beach, so that my dad won't even have regrets." Kong Ying nodded and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, it's all nonsense, you must not be interested in listening to it, I can't tell you that I will die at the hands of my father in the future, but the next time I see him, I will help you say good things, he will listen to me, Sister Tian Yi asked you to come to me for this reason, they must value you very much, what about you?" What's your story? ”
Chen Zhen was silent.
After waiting for a while, Kong Ying laughed again: "I know, it's more uncomfortable for you to say than for you to listen to the nagging of an ugly monster who is about to die, right?" I don't know why I told you this when we first met, it's much more comfortable to say it, anyway, I'll intercede for you, and you can take listening to my nagging as a reward for me. ”
"No need to plead, you just said that the strengthening potions are all related to you, I want to know the strengthening method of the bones." Chen Zhen looked at her and asked.
Kong Ying shook her head: "I don't know, those potions are for ordinary people, they can't be used by bones, they never tell me what my illness is, I guess I'm a person between bones and ordinary people, why do you want to know the method?" Don't...... Do you want to get out of here? ”
Chen Zhen nodded and said, "I have a promise to keep." ”
"What kind of promise?" Kong Ying became interested.
Chen Zhen thought about it for a while, and briefly explained Qi Feng and his deal.
Kong Ying listened with relish, and after listening, she said, "I can help you, but you have to promise me three things." ”
"What?" Chen Zhen frowned.
"First, when you are powerful, you are not allowed to kill my father, even if he comes to kill you; Second, you have to tell me your story. Thirdly, you have to draw a picture of the sea for me, I have seen pictures of the sea in magazines before the catastrophe, but everyone's eyes on the sea are different, I want to see what the sea looks like in your eyes. Kong Ying drank the sour plum soup and said seriously.
"Okay." Chen Zhen thought for a moment and said, "I need a lot of blue pens. ”
"Deal." Kong Ying looked very happy.
After walking around the town for a while, Chen Zhen pushed his wheelchair back to the annex where Kong Ying lived, went out for lunch alone, and still went shopping in the afternoon, drawing a map in his mind, he didn't see Fang Wei again that day, nor did he see Tian Yi, and he returned home after dark.
Sure enough, there were guards guarding the outside of room 237, and there were people watching where there were doors and windows, and there was no hiding, Chen Zhen knew from Tian Yi in the morning that someone would come to guard, and he didn't mind, so he looked for a storybook and read it for a while, and then went to bed.
Continue to practice, and fell asleep quickly, tired from shopping, tired from remembering the environment, and didn't dream that night, or maybe I didn't remember it, and the next morning, it was finally not the guards who knocked on the door.
"Another one died, and one of the guards who stormed your house the morning before yesterday, this time he was killed while patrolling at night, and he died in the same way as Toyoshi people, and the blood was sucked out, but no one saw you go out last night, and you are no longer a suspect." Tian Yi's face was very bad, as if he hadn't rested enough,
Chen Zhen nodded.
Tian Yi hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "If you want to sneak out, you should be able to do it, right?" ”
"If the guards aren't strengthened, I can sneak out." Chen Zhen is still very confident in this.
Tian Yi tilted his head, and said a little helplessly: "Okay, this morning you are free to move, whether you want to go to Xiaoying or go shopping, you can do it, I will wait for you under the tower at noon, if nothing happens, you will be able to strengthen in the afternoon, real strengthening." ”
"I'll be there." Chen Zhen nodded, a little expectant.
The whole morning was spent in Kong Ying's room, he began to paint, intending to let Kong Ying see the real sea, so he used the dot painting method, holding a pen in his left hand, using his precise control, constantly dotting on the paper, this is a time-consuming and labor-intensive way of drawing, but the more points, the more real, just like the resolution, the higher the resolution, the clearer.
He was going to draw a picture that looked like a photograph.
