This is definitely not a fun thing to do, and it can even be said to be the biggest tragedy.

People almost don't know how long they live? In this way, you can live calmly, but when a person knows that his life span is half shorter than others, shouldn't life be very painful?

I looked at Zhang Yihui, his expression did not change at all, and even the lines of the side face still carried a quiet softness, including those clear eyes, which were still peaceful and bright.

He seemed a little unaccustomed to me staring at him like this, and stood up a little embarrassed.

I don't know if it was the wind that came out of that corner, stroking his hair slightly, he looked at the silhouette of the city and said to me, "I knew about this a few years ago." But I'm not afraid. ”

I don't know what kind of mentality to use to deal with him, he is an adult now? Or a child?

But I will not comfort people, and I can only stand up in the same way, the silhouette of the city in my eyes has its unique prosperity, and all kinds of noisy sounds are full of life.

Many people will feel that way, whenever they look at the city that has just 'woken up' in the morning, or the city that is lively at dusk, they will burst out with a strong love and reluctance for life.

It's good to be alive in the end.

I'm not afraid, I need dozens of times more courage than ordinary people to say it calmly, right?

"How old are you now?" I really wanted warm comfort, but I said it like this.

"I was rescued when I was 2 years old, and now it's been 8 years and I'm almost 11 years old." Zhang Yi turned his head and said to me with a smile, and even there was a hint of naughtiness in his eyes, as if he was shocked to see me, which was a very funny thing.

I was shocked, but it calmed down in an instant.

I was sad in my heart, but I didn't want to show even a trace of sadness for Zhang Yihui to see, even if he was still a child, he didn't need the sympathy and sadness of others, I am very sure of this.

"Ah, it's quite mature." As I said this, I reached for my cigarette again, as I was not at peace with my inner feelings.

Zhang Yihui grabbed my hand and said, "I should call you Uncle Ye." I advise you to smoke less, don't follow my godfather's words, people who are too worried will smoke like this, but you are not as sentimental as my godfather, you are quite a gentleman, so there is no need to smoke for the sake of smoking. ”

I laughed and said, "Don't lie to me, little ghost, are you 11 years old or 31 years old?" ”

"I'm 11 years old. In fact, I have two godfathers, and it is they who allow me to live like I am now, and I am already very grateful to be able to live to the age of 11, not to mention that I can live for so many decades? If the maintenance is better, maybe it can be close to the lifespan of some normal people, it would be great. Zhang Yi smiled very happily, really happy.

It's like the happiness of being able to live one more day, and it's hard for me to imagine how a child can have this kind of mentality.

"What the hell happened to you?" I put back the cigarette in my hand, looked at Zhang Yihui in front of me, and suddenly felt that what I had experienced was nothing? Am I not as good as a child? In fact, what is there to be so afraid of? Is it worth my escape? Is it worth the pain that I don't have to face the reality of being nervous?

"I don't really remember what happened to me. It's all told to me by some of my uncles. Look here," he pulled down his collar as he spoke, and I knew that there were two wounds there, and it was only the first time I saw them in their entirety today, and I thought it was so shocking.

It's like two hideous openings in the collarbone.

He calmly pulled up his collar and said, "Probably when I was a child, I was caught and trained as a ghost." Do you know the real imps? It's powerful, it's terrifying."

"I don't really know." I really don't know much, everything I learned came from the mountain gate, but in fact, I really don't know much about a lot of common knowledge in the circle of cultivators.

"Anyway, you just need to know, it's very powerful. is so powerful that it is a complete ghost, and I don't necessarily have to do it if my godfather is like him. Anyway, these two scars were left at that time, because I was hung on a hook. Zhang Yihui said lightly.

My heart tightened suddenly, that little kid was hanging on a hook?! It was so brutal that I felt like I was about to stop breathing even when I imagined it.

"Of course, there's something else besides hanging on a hook, right? Anyway, I can't remember that it was my two godfathers who saved me, one of them, I haven't seen him, I've only seen photos, and I have swept his grave, but everyone told me that he was my dearest person, and because he saved me, he gave me his life. Do you know? My current godfather once told me about that scene, saying that my dead godfather asked him to carry me away, and that godfather himself pounced on a group of what you understand as zombies without hesitation. Later, when they came, and when they came back to look for him, he had already become that kind of thing, something like a zombie. My dead godfather is a real hero. Speaking of this, Zhang Yi turned his head to look at me, his eyes were a little red.

He described the whole process of this incident very simply, but the thrilling and touching sacrifice in it left me speechless for a long time.

Is this the true circle of cultivators? Sacrificing one's life to defend the right path is fraught with danger, but it is also fraught with something called human affection.

yes, that's how it should be, right? Isn't this the 'rivers and lakes' I really yearn for? No matter how earth-shattering things happen, always hanging on the top is the real mainstream, and most people have their own bottom line and persistence to guard.

I seem to have seen the picture in a dream, the lonely figure walking alone in the snow, living alone on the edge of the world, is it the same for the demon hunters in those years? What are they guarding? And what is the responsibility that I should bear and what should I protect now?

This few words seemed to give me great strength and soothe the anxiety in my heart.

Before, I had been worried about my fate and didn't want to take any responsibility on my own initiative, but now I realize that if it were me, then I should never back down.

"So, your dead godfather" I finally spoke in shock, looking at Zhang Yihui.

He nodded, and said; "Yes, my dead godfather is like a force that inspires me. It makes me feel that it doesn't matter how long or short a person lives, the key is what he has done in this life? Another godfather often said to me that life and death are impermanent, because people don't know if they will fly into trouble and end their lives in the next moment? Being a clean person is the key, but it would be better if there were some pursuits and kindness. Because, if that's the case, even if a flying disaster suddenly ends your life, the moment you leave, you will feel that your life has no regrets, and even has a lot of meaning. There are no regrets, and even pride to close your eyes, that is the happiest kind of departure. ”

"He's right." My hands were shaking with excitement, yes, what was I afraid of? When I was a child, didn't I just want to be that hero?

When all the points of fate tell me, it is unlikely that I, Ye Zhengling, will be ordinary, but I will escape? What am I afraid of?

At that moment, I seemed to have a stronger determination than ever before, and when I looked at this dangerous city, I suddenly felt that the sky had become brighter, and if I could, as a middle school textbook said, let the storm come more violently!

"I see. With two godfathers like this, it's no wonder you're so brave. My hand fell heavily on Zhang Yihui's shoulder.

If he doesn't feel that his life is short, but wants to live a heroic and fulfilling life, others are not qualified to feel pathetic for him, and no one is qualified to sympathize with a brave person with a bright pursuit, even if the other party is just a child.

It is true that life cannot be measured by the length of life.

"If I could find a way, I would definitely do everything I could to make you live longer. Because, some people are scum and living is just a waste of life, while some people just deserve to enjoy a longer life. I squeezed Zhang Yihui's shoulder, this was not sympathy, but a fire in my heart.

He laughed like a shy little boy, and he said to me: "I think you are also the protagonist of the times, you are more violent than my godfather!" My godfather is slimy, huh, you're going to be a jealous hero, right? ”

"What kind of era am I?" I withdrew my hand and started thinking about what I was going to do next. I have always understood that everything in this world is absolutely not enough to have a firm determination, but also to have a cool head to know how to take every step.

"You definitely are! Godfather said that the great era has been opened, and the opening and replacement of any era is accompanied by labor pains and darkness, and a group of people need to appear to break it with dedication and sacrifice in exchange for a new era! Every era has its own protagonists, and although it is not clear now, you are definitely a very important character, even if you are not the main protagonist among them! Uncle Ye, my life is very short, I want to live differently, I want to follow you. Zhang Yihui became excited.

I grabbed him by the hand and said, "I don't know if I'm the protagonist or not, but if I'm involved in the rivers and lakes, then even if I'm a silent little character, I must be a chivalrous man!" Because of this, I can't take you with me, I'm going to take you to a safe place! ”

"Uncle Ye" Zhang Yi was anxious.

"I've decided."
