9. Why marry me

Xia Ling walked on the way back, and her steps were dragged very heavy.

She suddenly felt that the world was a mess, full of things she couldn't understand, but then she laughed again.

"It's good that I'm not from this world."

She laughed dryly twice, and found that she was so tired from laughing, she looked up and saw the room in front of her, she remembered that Mo Feng had said that Mingcui was here to recuperate, and thought that since she was passing by, she would stop by to visit.

Ming Cui's injuries seemed to be very serious, and when Xia Ling went in, she happened to meet the maid to change her dressing.

Most of the damage to her back had taken shape, so almost her entire back had lost a layer of skin and was blood-red.

Xia Ling had never been able to look at this bloody thing, and her heart ached. She stepped forward to take the medicine from the waitress's hand, motioned for her to go down quietly, and then gently applied the medicine to Mingcui's back.

Mingcui's body trembled slightly, her hand clutched the sheet tightly, but she didn't say a word very tenaciously. This changed Xia Ling's impression of her.

seems to be weak, but Mingcui's heart is hard for Xia Ling to admire.

"Don't be so stupid in the future, how can the girls carry everything by themselves." Xia Ling said distressedly.

Ming Cui turned around and showed a hint of surprise in her eyes when she saw Xia Ling, but it quickly turned into a look of loss.

"You're here...... You're here, and he didn't even come to see me. ”

Her voice was so low that Xia Ling didn't hear what she was saying.

"Who didn't come?"

"Oh, I said I thought the general was going to visit me first."

Ming Cui's smile was sweet, as if it was a casual complaint.

"Didn't he come!? He's such a wolf-hearted! Xia Ling accused angrily, and touched Mingcui's black hair with some distress. It's okay, I'll teach him a lesson for you later! ”

Xia Ling took Ming Cui's hand, and there was a faint and gentle yellow under the lamp, but Xia Ling's face looked a little pale.

"Mingcui, I want to ask you something...... Does the goddess really lose her emotional feelings? ”

Mingcui's slightly hanging beautiful eyes never left Xia Ling's face for a moment, she stared at her like this, not knowing what she was thinking or hesitating.

"Ling'er, then you answer me first, do you like General Mo?"

I don't know why the topic jumped here again, Xia Ling turned back a little embarrassed. She reached out and scratched the tip of her nose, and replied with some awkwardness.

"I hated it at first...... Now it may be a little. ”

Ming Cui's originally pale face was dyed with a layer of red at this time, but his hand was clutching the futon beside him, and his knuckles were white and terrifying.

"What if I told you that Mofeng married you just to take advantage of you?"

Her voice was as gentle as water, but in Xia Ling's ears, a bucket of ice water splashed on her face.

"The goddess is a symbol of supreme power, and every goddess in the past has held the role of the lord of the country. But in the two years that you have been away, General Mo has become the center of the Oceanwide Kingdom, and now that you wake up, his position will inevitably be shaken and questioned, and only by marrying you can he continue his position. ”

"He's not that kind of person."

Xia Ling shook her head, a little unbelieving. But what reason did she have not to believe it? He forced her to marry him, and she didn't dare to say whether he loved her or not.

"I don't think it's all because of this when the general marries you. But he must not have told you that you once had someone you loved, and that this person was not him, right? There was more to come, and he didn't tell you. ”

Ming Cui's eyes looked at Xia Ling sharply and hatefully, and the words she said were like boulders smashing towards Xia Ling, but the corners of her mouth naturally hooked upward.

Xia Ling didn't react from Ming Cui's words for a while, the amount of information seemed to be too big, so big that she didn't know whether she should reply as Ye Ling or Xia Ling's.

She couldn't help but ask herself, is the goddess's past important to her? Mo Feng's reason for marrying her is serious? Everything he was hiding from her, was it important?

She raised her eyes and smiled a smile that was so calm that it was ruthless.

"It's okay, I don't care. Because I'm going to go. ”

Ming Cui twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, as if she was smiling.

"Good. If one day you want to know these things, you come and ask me, and I will know everything. ”

Xia Ling nodded. In fact, there are too many mysteries in her heart that need to be solved for her, and she also knows in her heart that only by recovering her memory as soon as possible can she return to her own world. But she's just scared......

The unspeakable fear in her heart, the fear of knowing the truth, the fear of reality. Or maybe it's actually the goddess herself who is afraid, but no matter what, she may need time to let herself accept it slowly.

Night, it was very early for Mo Feng to come back today, and he saw that the light in the room was very dim, and Xia Ling was sitting there alone with his hair and motionless. He walked up behind her, and she didn't notice it.

"What's the matter, what's the matter with sorrow?"

Mo Feng reached out and climbed onto her shoulder to help her massage, but was awkwardly dodged by Xia Ling.

He thought, perhaps still saddened by what he saw in today's book.

"Mo Feng, why did you marry me in the first place?"

Xia Ling stared at Mo Feng, unable to see emotion in his eyes, and asked again without waiting for him to answer.

"Did we know each other before, did we have a good relationship, and maybe you and I both have a good impression of each other?"

Xia Ling wanted to ask a lot, in fact, she had already made up her mind here, no matter what his answer was, she wouldn't care. But when she actually opened her mouth to ask him, she heard her heart suddenly speed up. And all she could do was ask him less and make herself hurt less.

Mo Feng watched Xia Ling be silent for a long time, so long that Xia Ling's heart was about to collapse, and tears were about to overflow. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed hers, his voice soft as jade.

"If I answer you all, will you still be willing to stay with me?"

"No ......"

Xia Ling almost gritted her teeth and said the word, she looked at him, her eyes watery, but she grinned casually.

"I don't belong here, I can't stay with you all the time...... I'm not going to fall in love with you, and you don't want to fall in love with me. ”

Mo Feng's eyes sank deeply, he didn't want to follow what Xia Ling said, the two didn't owe each other, and they had no emotions for each other. In this way, he will not be tormented and lovesick in the past two years.

Why did you marry her? Because he has always loved her deeply. Always, it means not becoming a word, just like she hasn't loved him all the time.

"Let's go see Mingcui when you have time, she was injured to protect you after all."

Coldly, she left this sentence and drowned in the silence of the two. She suddenly felt a little cold, thinking that it was autumn, and she had been here for many days.

As the so-called autumn rain and cool, the leaves outside the house were yellow, orange and orange scattered on the ground, calling Xia Ling's sad state of mind, and the red lantern at the door became a vivid color.

Xue Lan took a coat and put it on Xia Ling, and when she saw that Xia Ling's eyes had been staring at the lantern with her name reflected at the door, she couldn't help but smile.

"The goddess doesn't know the origin of this lantern yet."

Hearing this, Xia Ling turned her head to look at her: "What is the origin of this?" ”

"This is the legend of our Oceanwide Nation from a long, long time ago. Legend has it that when a woman from the Panhai Kingdom got married, the bridegroom could make 10,000 lanterns with the girl's name engraved with his own hands and ask from door to door to hang them in front of the door. Then they can become people of fate, who love and be together for the rest of their lives. But now that everyone is accustomed to magnetism, who would make 10,000 lanterns for girls, and over time, no one will do this for women. But the general is different, he silently made these 10,000 lanterns, Xue Lan saw it with his own eyes, and his hands were pierced with nails full of holes. I just want to love you with the goddess for the rest of my life. ”

Xia Ling didn't respond to Xue Lan's words, just looked at the lantern as if it was different from before. Her heart was mixed, and it seemed that the threads that she couldn't sort out were wound tighter.

She thought, she had always been very timid, and she couldn't make such a bold decision in love with him. She has been careful in everything she has done since she was a child. Because no one can protect her, and what can keep herself from being hurt is only her own choice from beginning to end.

"Goddess, the general said that he was going to Shenghai in a while, so let you pack up and go with him." A waitress walked in and saw Xia Ling saluting respectfully.

The Sea of Rebirth, as the name suggests, is a place to send people to their lives.

Xia Ling has seen many seas in her life. Whether it is the sea of the hometown with yellow, orange and mud, or the sea of the beautiful resort area, I have never seen anything like this.

The ground is a light green sandy area, delicate and soft, like matcha powder on a beach. Even the sea is gradual. From the shallow green that blends with the sand gradually turns into a deep blue.

Xia Ling rubbed her eyes and laughed happily: "How can it be so beautiful." ”

"Shh Mo Feng made a silent gesture at her, and he gestured to a figure sitting on the beach not far away.

Xia Ling approached with the ink wind, only to find that there were some blurry pictures on the sea in front of the woman like a movie. But as long as Xia Ling wanted to see the content of the picture, her ears would instantly ring in her ears, and her vision would become more and more blurred.

Mo Feng pulled her away: "Do you remember the last time I said that after the people of the Oceanwide Country die, they will be made into a piece of jewelry and left with the person they love the most?" ”

Xia Ling nodded.

"In fact, until then, we will keep part of the ashes of the deceased and sprinkle them into the sea of death. Legend has it that if you go to the depths of the sea of rebirth, you will be reincarnated, and if you go up the ladder, you can be reincarnated. ”

This is a bit like a bridge, Xia Ling thought to herself.

"By sprinkling the ashes into the sea of the deceased, the loved ones of the deceased will be able to see all the memories of the two of them in the sea. But if the living have been indulging in memories and cannot face reality, then the dead will not be able to enter reincarnation, and can only linger in this sea area until their souls are gone. ”

"Wandering all the time?"

Hearing these words, Xia Ling had goosebumps all over his body. How can this be said so strangely and terrifyingly?

"Yes, that's what we often call ghostly sound."

"Noise?" It can't be what we often call ghosts, right? It must be fake!

"Actually, I came here this time because I received a lot of letters from residents, saying that there have been a lot of strange noises and strange ...... recently."

Halfway through speaking, Mo Feng suddenly stopped, Xia Ling looked up at him, and found that his gaze was looking behind her over her, and she turned her head curiously.

"Ahh ......”

Xia Ling only felt that her legs were numb instantly, and she involuntarily fell backwards and sat down on the cold sand.

One blue, all blue, all blue. That's right, the blue translucent weirdo stood almost a centimeter away from her, staring at her with a blank expression.
