1 Death again
Ling Dongwu's days in Tumu Fort. Almost all of them are spent on the grasslands. After getting up every day. She would go to the grassland to watch the sun rise. Until the sun goes down. The moon is in the middle of the sky. She often doesn't remember the time to eat. Most of them were Yi Zhikuo who brought the meals to her personally. Then watch her eat.
During these days, Ling Dongwu was so thin that he was out of shape. Only big eyes were left on the small face the size of a palm. The whole person looks fragile and abnormal. It's like a touch that will break bones. Although she has lost weight. But strangely not haggard. The skin is faintly bluish-white. A pair of eyes are getting darker and darker.
Summer on the prairie is coming. The sun began to burn hot. Yi Zhikuo was afraid that Ling Dongwu would be sunburned. It's where Ling Dongwu often likes to go. Erect a gorgeous pergola. Ling Dongwu also lived up to his wishes. Lie under the pergola every day. Thinking about every bit of Mu Zicheng. Some people have been changed a lot by time. Some people seem to be frozen in time forever.
She always regretted it. Why didn't you go directly to Mu Zicheng after leaving Qingzhou. Why did you go to Jingshan to see Xiao Haotian. Is it because I am not attentive to love? So God punished her. Let her lose Mu Zicheng. So that she couldn't even see the last side of Mu Zicheng.
Even when midnight dreams back. It is also mostly those bleak and vague past events haunting my heart. Isolate the people in your dreams to the ends of the earth. Even knowing that he is no longer in this world. But I still don't want to die, looking forward to the day when I will hold hands and look at each other.
It turns out that the horror of death is not disappearance. It's you who miss it no matter how much you miss it. will never be seen.
Everything that had been before collapsed with a bang. The sweetness of the two lovers. The warmth of sharing hardships and hardships is all gone. She thought for a while. The years to come will be like many roads that have been walked with Mu Zicheng. Even if it's a bit bumpy. Displaced. But after all, there was Mu Zicheng's big hand holding her hand. But not anymore. Never again. Mu Zicheng died.
Leave the sorrow, pain, helplessness, and panic to her alone; Leave the sadness, sadness and desolation to her to taste alone. Everything between them fell apart under the power of the emperor and the general.
The only death through the ages. Sad, not alone, lady. Ling Dongwu is not afraid of death. She's just scared to live. She was just scared to live alone. I'm afraid to live in a world without Mu Zicheng.
Every time I am tormented by the pain of longing, I can hardly survive it anymore. She thought about dying. It's better to die than to think about it. But in an instant, he will remember the appearance of Mu Zicheng's tragic death. So she's going to live. She must live. Live to avenge Mu Zicheng. No matter who it is. killed Mu Zicheng. and all shall repay the blood with blood.
The sun on the prairie rose on time. Enthusiasm through the cracks of the pergola. Silky wisps sprinkled on Ling Dongwu's body. She raised her hand to block it. Faintly lingering around her. A gentle green smoke wafted.
Yi Zhikuo brought lunch to Ling Dongwu on time. It's something he's been happiest to do in recent days. and Ling Dongwu sat at a small table under the pergola to eat. It was his happiest time.
Since Ling Dongwu came to Tumu Fort. Yi Zhikuo's whole person seemed to have suddenly fallen into a dream that was difficult to wake up from. Dizzy. Fluttery. The brain is no longer functioning properly.
The whole grassland is immersed in an atmosphere of tranquility and peace. Yi Zhikuo had never felt that the wind was so fresh. The grasslands are so beautiful. He looked at Ling Dongwu lying on the grass with a grin. The breeze was blowing across her cheeks. She closed her eyes. The long eyelashes tremble gently like the wings of a butterfly. He didn't dare to speak. Don't even dare to gasp a little louder. I was afraid that Ling Dongwu would wake up from his dream.
He sometimes hoped that Ling Dongwu would quickly turn back to the little fairy who mocked and sarcastically faced him and raised his eyebrows coldly; Laughing and talking at others. went to the battlefield and worked hard and was full of energy. Sometimes he selfishly wants her to be like this for the rest of her life. He would rather coax her and spoil her. Look at her. At least she won't leave him.
Ling Dongwu heard the sound of Suo Suo beside him. I knew it was Yi Zhikuo who came. These days. Thanks to Yi Zhikuo's care. On his orders. No one around Ling Dongwu could appear casually. Leave a relatively independent and peaceful space for Ling Dongwu. She opened her eyes slightly. Seeing Yi Zhikuo looking at himself with a smile. In a gentle and flattering tone, he said, "Little fairy." Get up and eat. ”
She stared at Yi Zhikuo. This former adversary. During this time, he was like his own slave. is constantly busy asking her what to eat and how much she can eat. It's more comfortable to lie there. What to drink at night to sleep more peacefully...... The cruelty and ferocity of the past. It's almost all over in these trivial things. It seems to have become the most patient in the world. The gentlest man.
Time has passed. The years go round. He owes it to himself. I still owe him.
Yi Zhikuo didn't know what Ling Dongwu was thinking. Just looking at the eyes of the people around him so bright. The paleness of the face receded. Already with a faint ruddy. He felt a great sense of accomplishment in his heart. Six years have passed. The little girl who was trembling in front of herself back then. After countless baptisms of wind and rain. finally transformed into a heroic female general. But God is jealous. She went through countless injuries after that. After nine deaths. Still unable to find peace and happiness. In the very first few days. He watched the lively Ling Dongwu turn into a lifeless rag doll. My heart is going to break.
This reckless man who kills people without blinking. I swore in my heart. This life. Poor with all they have. It won't let her be hurt in the slightest.
A few plates of meat and vegetables with the right dishes. A jug of wine. Yi Zhikuo also carefully asked the cook to make two small refreshing pickles. It looks very fresh.
Yi Zhikuo picked up the chopsticks and handed them to Ling Dongwu. Said to Ling Dongwu: "Xiao Wu." Let's eat. ”
Ling Dongwu endured the bitterness in his heart. Take the chopsticks. Whispered, "Okay." Let's eat. ”
Yi Zhikuo is the same as ever. Begin to eat with your head down. Suddenly, I saw a Qianqianyu hand over a pot of wine. Put it in front of him. A gentle voice said, "Yi Zhikuo." I'll give you a drink. ”
He looked up and saw Ling Dongwu smiling at him. The small white jade-like hand holds the bowl of the same color. It was the first time she had poured herself wine. Like the most virtuous wife in the world. That kind voice was a fairy music that he couldn't imagine in his life.
Yi Zhikuo held the rice bowl. Like falling clouds. For a moment. He suddenly had a delusion. This is my home. And the person opposite is the partner of his dreams. It's just that. This happiness is too ethereal. It's close by. At your fingertips. But it feels like the end of the world.
"Ichikuo ......"
He suddenly came to his senses. Qiang smiled: "Okay...... Good. I drink. ”
Ling Dongwu looked at Yi Zhikuo. Thinking about Emperor Nanzhao. The robber and the emperor will be brighter than whom. More noble. Such as Emperor Nanzhao, Prime Minister Song and the like. Take the black belly and yin poison to the extreme. And the demon king who does all kinds of evil in her eyes. On the contrary, it is more human and bloody than them.
"Yi Zhikuo. Have the people you sent out to find out the news come back? Ling Dongwu pretended to be relaxed and asked. She still didn't dare to touch Mu Zicheng's name.
"Ahh Yes. Not yet. Not yet. But. But soon. I. I've already sent someone to urge it. Yi Zhikuo heard Ling Dongwu say this. It's like waking up in a sweet dream. No matter how gentle she is to herself. She was still thinking about Mu Zicheng in her heart. Reading Mu Zicheng.
His heart ached. But then he was relieved. If she thinks about it, let her think about it. Anyway, Mu Zicheng is already a dead man.
Ling Dongwu from this day. Gradually, I cheered up a little bit. She knew she had important things to do. There is also a long way to go. She had to learn to be strong on her own.
She started waking up early every day and exercising in the morning. Start to have a regular routine. Begin to adjust to life in the civil fort. There is no Mu Zicheng. She wants to live well. For Mu Zicheng. She wants to live well.
Early this morning. Yi Zhikuo came to find Ling Dongwu. Ling Dongwu stood on the grassland and practiced swords. The sword flashed. Fluttering clothes. In the morning light, she is like a colorful butterfly ready to fly. Beautiful and flamboyant.
I saw Yi Zhikuo coming. Ling Dongwu took the recruitment and stood still. There is a fine amount of sweat sticking out of the tip of the nose. The whole face is like a flower petal with dewdrops. I was dazzled and fascinated.
"Is there anything you can do?" Ling Dongwu saw Yi Zhikuo standing there looking at him in a daze. He asked.
Yi Zhikuo was awakened by Ling Dongwu's voice. Hurriedly said: "Xiao Wu." I'm going to go out to war with people. Soon to be back. If you have something. Just go and find tension. I have commanded him. Let him take care of you."
Ling Dongwu heard that Yi Zhikuo was going out to fight. suddenly remembered that Mu Zicheng died tragically on the battlefield. The blood on his frightened face suddenly receded. My voice trembled a little. "You. Are you going to war too? ”
Yi Zhikuo knew that Ling Dongwu remembered Mu Zicheng, who died tragically. Watch her stand in the wind. Because of the mental torture these days. Her whole thin waist was empty. It's almost overwhelming. Like a flower blooming in the wind. The wind is about to break. At this moment, his face was even more pitiful. He stepped forward. Hold her trembling body in your arms. Lian Sheng said. "Xiao Wu. Don't be afraid. I'll be fine. I will come back safely. It's all gone. Never again. He put his arms around Ling Dongwu. Gently patted her on the back. It's like coaxing a child. Rao is hard-hearted. At this moment, I can't help but feel sour in my heart.
After Ling Dongwu walked away from Yi Zhikuo. I began to feel uneasy. Keep looking towards the entrance of the civil fort. But until the sun went down, he didn't see Yi Zhikuo return. Yi Zhikuo promised her. Will be back before dark.
She didn't even eat dinner. Just stared blankly at the entrance of the city. She couldn't bear to die again. Yi Zhikuo said to her now. is no longer the fierce and vicious demon he was at the beginning. It is the backer of both father and brother.
