Chapter 746: The Sound of Snow
"On the pretext of looking for disciples, those people checked all the learning qualifications of children under the age of ten in the village, perhaps it was fate, but the little girl who didn't want to have any qualifications was found to have extremely high cultivation talent, and she was the only one in the village. ”
In order to get the little girl away, they not only gave the little girl's parents a certain amount of money, but also gave the whole village a lot of benefits, and finally the little girl reluctantly left with the strangers who seemed to have good intentions under the advice and demands of all the people, and went to a strange place. ”
There, the little girl learned all kinds of manners every day with many people of the same origin, and was instilled with the idea of dignity and inferiority from an early age, and she wanted to serve the nobles in the future, and she studied it for ten years. Although there is no need for food and clothing, the life of a caged bird is no different, and it can only study there, and cannot go anywhere. ”
"Day and night, no season, all day long, accompanied by books and rituals, touching things that you don't want to touch. In 10 years, the little girl did not return home for a visit. It's not that they don't want to, but they can't, because those people don't allow them to go home. If you try to escape, your parents and brothers will all suffer. ”
"For so long, the little girl saw too many people being punished for breaking the rules, even implicating the loved ones behind them. Those people have been teaching the little girl not to do anything with the rules, and at the same time, those people have kept telling the little girl what a rich life she will live in the future if she succeeds in school. ”
Day after day, year after year, those people always used the same words to inspire the little girl to learn all kinds of things, and always reassured the little girl to want to go home. In the course of ten years, the little girl saw many of those who had left there returning there with infinite beauty, showing off their achievements to those who were still struggling to persevere. ”
But no matter how noble the people who came back, the little girl did not see in them what she wanted to see. To the little girl, they were like richly dressed puppets. ”
"Spring has gone to autumn, and the little girl who has survived ten years has finally succeeded in her studies and is about to embark on the same road to take-off as those people. ”
"One day at the election, the little girl, who had grown up, was chosen to be sent to a prince and nobleman to be a personal attendant of a prince, and then she would use the knowledge she had learned to help that person predict his fortune, and obey his orders at any time until he lost his value, or enjoy the glory and wealth like some favored people. ”
On the day she was sent to the princes and nobles, the little girl, who had grown up and had been looking forward to leaving the place for ten years, was about to enter the magnificent mansion and resolutely escaped from it with the skills she had learned. The little girl, who had forgotten where her hometown was, kept thinking that no matter where she wanted to flee, she couldn't be like those puppets," Xue Yin's eyes moistened and stopped, not wanting to say anything about the rest of the story.
"Do you think it's really noble to be a priest? Do you think it's ridiculous that a state of etiquette separates flesh and blood? Do you think that some people are born destined to live for others?" When Lin Xuanzhong was thinking about what Xue Yin wanted to express, Xue Yin directly answered Lin Xuanzhong with three questions.
Unconsciously, the two of them had walked more than a mile forward, and now Lin Xuanzhong listened to everything Xue Yin said in his heart like listening to a story. When he got out of the story, Lin Xuanzhong had a deep understanding that the meaning of Xue Yin's story was as clear as the few questions Xue Yin was asking now. It turns out that the so-called ceremonial state is also strong and weak, and some people are destined to live in the fate set for them by others, without the right to choose, or the ability to choose.
It turns out that this is the sound of snow, which is very small or does not exist in itself, and it is difficult to detect if you don't look closely, but when you do, it is very touching. Lin Xuanzhong didn't know how to evaluate Xue Yin's experience, but as a person who grew up in adversity, Lin Xuanzhong felt that he was lucky compared to Xue Yin's experience, it turned out that even if he was ignored everywhere in the Lin family, he still had the right to choose how to live.
"Xue Yin, why are you talking to me about this?" I wanted to comfort some Xue Yin, but unfortunately when the words came to my mouth, I didn't know what to say, and finally turned into a question.
"What does the general think of the sound of the snow?" also did not answer Lin Xuanzhong's question, Xue Yin simply looked at the white snow that had not melted, although there was no sound, but who could ignore the real existence of the white snow.
"Is your real name really 'Xue Yin'?" Knowing the answer, Lin Xuanzhong deliberately avoided it, as if he didn't think that Xue Yin's views were correct, but Lin Xuanzhong did feel sorry for Xue Yin's experience in his heart.
"The general is really smart," Xue Yin looked away from the snow, Xue Yin became more and more unaware of what Lin Xuanzhong was thinking at the moment, and praised Lin Xuanzhong with a smile.
"Xue Yin, why did you join the army?" When realizing that he could no longer be silent, Lin Xuanzhong quickly asked a key question.
"Xue Yin doesn't want to bow to the so-called fate anymore, Xue Yin wants to prove that he doesn't need those who are attached to everyone to show his brilliance, but Xue Yin doesn't have the strength to change the rules," slowly raised his head, Xue Yin looked at Lin Xuanzhong with a serious face and said: "But the general has, does the general think Xue Yin's idea is ridiculous?"
When answering Lin Xuanzhong's question, Xue Yin only had seriousness on his face, and his eyes without a trace of concealment were as pleasant as snow, although there was not much emotion to speak of, Lin Xuanzhong didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Xue Yin at this moment.
After Xue Yin's explanation, Lin Xuanzhong not only knew Xue Yin's character, but also knew Xue Yin's real purpose in joining the army, everything was Xue Yin's desire to prove her own ability, and wanted to change the rules that made her painful, these are the reasons why Xue Yin didn't want to continue to be ordinary.
Thinking of the end, Lin Xuanzhong could only ask himself if Xue Yin's idea was wrong, and the answer was actually very clear, Lin Xuanzhong knew that what was wrong was just the rules of the world.
"I respect your choice," came back to his senses, Lin Xuanzhong could give this answer.
"Could it be that that's all the general wants to say?" It's a pity that Xue Yin seems to feel that Lin Xuanzhong's words are too tactful, and she is not satisfied with Lin Xuanzhong's answer.
"If I can, I will take you to the Qingyuan Great Country," I don't know if it was reckless for a while, or if he felt that only by saying this could he satisfy Xue Yin, Lin Xuanzhong gave an answer that he hadn't thought deeply, and he said it extremely grandly.
"Thank you, General," Xue Yin no longer had any dissatisfaction with the current reply.
"General, let's go back," smiling slightly, Xue Yin looked back and saw that the two had already walked a long way and had plans to go back.
"You can walk with me for a while," untied the red cloak on his body and tied it to Xue Yin, no matter how noble Xue Yin was wearing now, Xue Yin was still just an ordinary woman in Lin Xuanzhong's eyes.
And when Lin Xuanzhong tied Xue Yin's cloak, Xue Yin looked at Lin Xuanzhong's eyes full of tenderness, whether it was before or now, Xue Yin always liked Lin Xuanzhong a little, and he also never saw through Lin Xuanzhong's personality, but one thing is for sure, Xue Yin felt that Lin Xuanzhong would never hurt him.
"Does the general want to go to Shiqiao Village for a walk?" Seeing that the two of them were almost at the end of the city wall, Xue Yin asked casually.
"Maybe," shaking his head, walking on the city wall, Lin Xuanzhong could already see where Shiqiao Village was, but the closer he got to Shiqiao Village, the more he didn't want to walk around the village, now he was just walking with Qingyi that day, Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to stop or turn back.
The two of them walked away for a long time, but for some reason, neither of them spoke again for a while, as if they didn't know what to say.
"Xue Yin, do you want to go home?" When he was about to walk to the edge of the city wall, the atmosphere became more and more awkward, so that Lin Xuanzhong had to break his silence.
"I'm afraid Xue Yin's home no longer exists," thinking about the mistakes he made in escaping was enough for his parents and brothers to be punished for this, Xue Yin couldn't answer Lin Xuanzhong's question.
"I just asked if you want to go home," after getting such an answer, what could Lin Xuanzhong say.
"Then the general went out on the expedition and tried his liver and gall outside, and now he wants to go home?"
"Think...... But I don't know where my home is, "As early as a few months ago, Lin Xuanzhong had heard Qingyi say that there was a large-scale beast tide in the Beiling area, and the reason was that the black Jiao crossed the tribulation. Although there has been no news from there for a few months, according to Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts, after a beast tribulation, I am afraid that those ownerless small cities no longer exist.
Even if he can cross the Beipanic Mountain Range, how can he trace the footprints of the Lin family, and even if he finds the living clansmen of the Lin family, it does not mean that he has found a home, Lin Xuanzhong has never thought that he has a home, he just wants to go back and see some people.
"Is the General's home far away?"
"The distance may not be as great as from here to Qingyuan, but in my heart it is far, far away, as if it has long ceased to exist. ”
"Xue Yin can't speculate on some things about the general, but Xue Yin can see that the general really wants to go home," Xue Yin's opinion seemed to be imposed on Lin Xuanzhong, but Lin Xuanzhong couldn't veto it.
"There is no difference between wanting and not wanting," with a long sigh, Lin Xuanzhong finally knew what kind of attitude Xue Yin had towards going home.
"Can't you find out where your home is now?"
"It's not that you can't find it, it's that you can't find it!"
"What do you mean because of your current identity that you can't look for it?"
"Yes. ”
"I can't understand what the adult means, but according to Xue Yin's idea, if the adult wants to go home, he can definitely go home. ”
"Perhaps. ”
"It turns out that adults don't want to go home now," after receiving Lin Xuanzhong's two simple but meaningful answers, Xue Yin remembered some of Lin Xuanzhong's previous statements, and also speculated based on those words, maybe both of them had their own helplessness.
Immediately afterward, the two fell silent again, each thinking about something that would make them helpless, and before they knew it, they walked to the end of the city wall.
