Chapter 15: An Ending
This figure is undoubtedly Chen Chengyi.
At this moment, his voice was filled with a soft serenity, like a breeze compared to the tone that always carried a touch of loneliness and sadness before.
Facing Chen Chengyi's words, the cold woman smiled gently, stretched out her hand to pull the hair that fell on her ear, and did not answer, just looked at Chen Chengyi gently.
It seems that only in front of Chen Chengyi, she is not the ice and snow on the high mountain, but turned into a gentle spring water.
In front of the two of them, I woke up and seemed to have no sense of existence, because the two of them were the most harmonious picture, and it seemed abrupt to add other people.
I closed my eyes again, and it was only then that I noticed that there was an excruciating pain coming from all parts of my body.
After a short period of wakefulness, I already remembered the battle in that fighting arena, and I still remember the pain in my heart, the night howl of death, and a trace of sourness, what about Xinyi? I worked so hard to take Xin Yi away, where is Xin Yi now?
Thinking about it, I couldn't close my eyes safely anymore, I had a lot of questions in my heart that I wanted to ask Chen Chengyi, but I only let out a 'hmm' sound when I opened my mouth.
And Chen Chengyi was already standing in front of me at this moment, looking at me and saying, "You are seriously injured, but it is mainly from the soul injury. It's like the fate of me and Ruxue again, it is indeed for you. Your body is strong and you've recovered well. When you were injured when you were young, don't you always lie in bed and go out for a walk with me? ”
I looked at Chen Chengyi and didn't know why he said something, but I calmed down a lot and nodded 'um'.
"Ruxue, I'll take him out for a walk?" Helping me stand up, Chen Chengyi said softly to the cold woman, it turns out that this woman's name is Ruxue?
"Go ahead, I'll always be here, don't worry." Ruxue's voice was soft, and the smile had a feeling of warmth in people's hearts, and I was in a trance, as if I had seen many mornings thousands of years ago, the bowls and bowls were smiling at me, and as if I had seen the dull Xinyi, occasionally looking at me and smiling.
How beautiful those days were, there were no rivers and lakes, no grievances, one was dependent on each other in a dilapidated town, and the other was a carefree childhood in the factory and mine compound.
I was in a trance, but Chen Chengyi's eyebrows showed a hint of sadness, he said 'yes', and led me out of the somewhat dimly lit hut.
At the beginning, my body was not too adaptable, but as Chen Chengyi said, my body seemed to be very strong, and after walking a few steps, the pain was no longer enough to affect my ordinary activities.
Outside is a barren plain, bare red soil, dark gray rocks give people a desolate feeling, looking up is the kind of earth and stone that belongs to the dungeon is unique, the difference is that there are several cracks here, and the light from the outside shines through the cracks and spills on this plain, making it not so dark here.
I closed my eyes in fascination, I only stayed in the dungeon for more than half a month, I was already very eager for the light, it couldn't be touched, I couldn't even feel it, only when I lost it, I found that I couldn't do without this light from the flesh and soul power, I was so, so what about those demons and people in the dungeon? I had a feeling I couldn't put into words.
There was also a wind unique to the dungeon blowing here, raising my black hair, and also raising Chen Chengyi's white linen robe, I opened my eyes, looked at Chen Chengyi's figure, and said a little dryly: "Where is this?" ”
If there is such a good place in the dungeon, at least there is a few traces of light, wouldn't it be better for the people in the dungeon to live here? I have a feeling that I'm not sure where this is?
Chen Chengyi put his hands behind his back, looked back at me, and said, "Here? Strictly speaking, it still belongs to the scope of the dungeon. It's just a forbidden place for them, and this is the place I've been to the most over the years. ”
I glanced back here, the barren plain, a lonely small stone house, Chen Chengyi was here all these years?
"It's lonely, isn't it?" I don't know why, but I wanted to ask about the future, but I asked the question.
The correspondence with Chen Chengyi is only like this three or two times, and such a question is inevitably a little deep.
Chen Chengyi didn't mind, but jumped onto a big rock.
This is the closest place to a maximum light source, a long and narrow light source that stretches for tens of meters, like a small cracked canyon.
Chen Chengyi motioned for me to go up.
Due to the pain in my body, my jumping up movement was not as chic as Chen Chengyi's, but with Chen Chengyi's hand, I still climbed the boulder smoothly.
"When I was younger, I was basically used to being alone. At least at that time, I thought that when all the children of the same age were playing crazy, I basically depended on a nasty old man except for school time, and I didn't even have time to see my family. Chen Chengyi just stood on top of the boulder, looked at the glimmer of light above his head, and talked to me lightly about the past.
I listened in silence, always perceiving a strange emotion in his words, and he was silent at this point, and after a long time he turned back to me and said, "Later, when I grew up, the abominable old man was gone. Choosing a way that best suited him, he was teasing a woman in the village, and suddenly he ran away in front of my eyes, and then I was looking for him for many years afterward. ”
"Huh?" I was a little surprised, and it was hard to imagine the scene of an old man suddenly choosing such a way to run away from the people who depended on him.
"Isn't that incredible?" A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Chengyi's mouth, but there was a look of remembrance in his eyes.
"And then?" I was suddenly curious about how the story ended.
"Later? Later, of course, I found him, but unfortunately time was running out. I mean, when I was able to rely on each other, I realized that the habit of loneliness that I had always thought when I was a child was the least lonely years, because he and I depended on each other, for my teacher, for my father, to protect me, to love me. Am I alone here, you ask? Chen Chengyi suddenly fell silent, and jumped off the boulder as he spoke.
I don't know why, but subconsciously hurriedly followed, although the action was a little awkward.
He and I walked on this somewhat speckled but desolate plain, until we came to a leeward place, where there was a mountain that extended out of the mountains, low and low, like an earthen wall, so that such a leeward place was formed.
Chen Chengyi walked over from the front of that mountain, and there was a small piece of flat land in it, and under the calm, there was another hole that leaked light, which happened to illuminate this place.
I looked at it in shock, there was a cluster of bamboos around it, because there was light here, and it was growing well.
Walking in, there is a small building made of mud, and the workmanship is so fine that you can see that it was supposed to be a small building made of bamboo.
Next to the small building, there is a waterhole shaped from clay, and the stream flowing from the waterhole is also delicately carved.
It's a good place, and you can see that the owner here is commemorating an environment where he once lived, but there is always a faint sadness and loneliness rising here, like dust in the light, which cannot be felt, but can always be seen.
Just because these buildings are surrounded by a small lonely tomb.
"Here?" I looked at Chen Chengyi with some confusion.
"This is the time I miss the most, and what you see is the place where I and that hateful old man depend on each other." Chen Chengyi's tone was full of calm, but this calmness made people feel heartache and panic.
I didn't want to ask, but I couldn't help but look at the lonely grave and say, "Is this him?" ”
"You can say it's him, or you can say it's not. You and I are both cultivators, and we understand that the soul is everything. His soul left me like that one afternoon. When he was there, he told me that he was very worried that one day, when his soul was gone, but his body was still there, he would be stupid, what would he do? What can I do? I still take care of that hateful old man, and I often wonder if the departed don't understand the longing in the hearts of those who stay where they are. But I later knew that he understood, he really became stupid, I took him with me all the time, and two years have passed like this" Chen Chengyi looked at the lonely grave, and there was indescribable emotion in his eyes.
"His body is also very weak, and I don't expect him to be able to speak to me clearly in my life. However, one afternoon, after I had fed him, he called me 'Sanwa'er'. Speaking of this, Chen Chengyi's eyes suddenly turned red.
"He's back?" My mood also fluctuated with this story.
"Well, it's back. told me a word, all the fate of this life has ended, and his life span has also arrived. But he couldn't bear me, he said, if I am somewhere in the future, he will bury him somewhere and accompany me. He knew that I would eventually have to guard this place for the Snow Mountain, so he wanted to bring me a word like this. So, I buried him here. Am I alone, you say? After speaking, Chen Chengyi looked at me, and there was a tear in the corner of his eye, which he gently wiped away.
I can't tell what it feels like to be inside? I always feel that the story is over, but my heart has been continuing a kind of longing, fate has ended, the most cruel words, even I am unwilling to end here.
"So? Is that all? "I looked at the lonely grave and wondered what kind of man that hateful old man was.
"Otherwise, what can be? You and I are the same, and you have come to this world with a heavy responsibility. However, there will be a day when the responsibility will be exhausted. Many years ago, this nasty old man tried to teach me to let go, and I responded to him with a 'I won't let go', and now I still can't figure it out, so I'll go to him. Of course, after I have fulfilled my responsibilities. Chen Cheng smiled. Turned around and left the place.
I don't know why, he always gives people a feeling of melancholy and lingering, but at this time, I feel that he is actually more chic than everyone else.
