Chapter 31: Dead End
"Don't you see, how powerful the people who want to kill me are, they can dispatch expensive Warcraft species at will, they can hire famous killers, the death of those two killers today is not the end, it is only the beginning.
On the road ahead, there will be more and more difficulties and unimaginable things happening, and I am not very sure that I can cope with them all. Even if we finally reach the water and clouds, what will happen?" Leng Yushi shook her head and smiled sadly, exuding a kind of beautiful sorrow of a girl.
"When I get to the water clouds, I need to participate in the water cloud conference, and not just to participate, I want to be as blockbuster as possible, if I can't get the water cloud ten, at least at the top.
So that the world can see what kind of powerful strength the future empress of Ghost Island has!
If I don't show as good as my three cousins, the people of Ghost Island will be disappointed in me and Emperor Mingyue, and at this time, if something happens to me, the new empress will naturally fall into the hands of my cousins.
The people choose the empress, not to see which one is beautiful and which one is polite, they only choose the most powerful one. β
Nalan Zhe looked at Leng Yushi quietly, and didn't speak, he knew that it was useless for him to say anything at this time, and Leng Yushi didn't need him to say anything, she just needed a pair of listening ears.
"Well, even if I did well at the Water Cloud Conference. And then I'm going to have to marry a man I've never even met.
Of course, his status is very prominent, and I heard that he is good in all aspects, and he is a rare royal child in the Snow Country.
So what?
I don't necessarily like him, and he doesn't necessarily like me.
We just need to be together, like two ropes, connecting Snowy Country and Ghost Island. That's our mission. β
Speaking of this, Leng Yushi avoided Nalan Zhe's eyes and looked into the distance.
"Then, it's time for the prince and the princess to live happily together. That's what is said in fairy tales, and it's only when you're a princess yourself that you understand that fairy tales are all lies. β
Leng Yushi pursed her lips tightly and shook her head, "The next chapter of the story is that the princess must ensure that she gives birth to a daughter, of course, it would be better if she could give birth to a few more." Do you know the way? Whenever I think that I have to give birth to a beautiful girl who is just as 'lucky' as I am, I always tremble with fear.
It's not luck, it's a tragedy, and you have to watch it happen to your own daughter. β
At this time. Nalan Zhe didn't know what to say, so he just walked up. Gently pat Leng Yushi's shoulder twice. He didn't have much experience with girls, so he didn't know if it was appropriate for him to do so.
"The next step is to nurture your daughter.
It's going to be a long and painful process, and you have to make sure that your daughter is good enough, and of course, the first thing you need to make sure is. The daughter has to live.
And yourself.
You'll need to live under siege to prevent assassinations, and you'll need to learn a thousand and one ways to distinguish poison.
You can't go shopping!
You can't just go out and play!
You can't even have a hobby of your own!
You don't have any friends, and you don't know who to trust.
All you can do. It's just going on day by day, nervously day by day, until you can't go on.
So, all this, from the very beginning, was a dead end.
You follow us, and we can't protect you, and we can't even protect ourselves. β
Leng Yushi said this, and stopped talking.
When Nalan Zhe saw the cold poem, he thought for a while, and said, "Some of what you said is something I haven't been exposed to, and some I can't understand.
I'm not a philosopher, I'm not a bookwriter, and I can't say that much that makes sense.
However, there is one thing that you may be mistaken, and you are not alone in your fate.
Have you ever imagined an orphan abandoned by his parents, who may have lived in a slum at a very young age, living without a meal?
And then at a young age, they need to work, all kinds of dirty work, and even be trafficked into brothels, there are many such people, in your words, they are walking, it is also a dead end, but why do they still want to live? Why don't they commit suicide, and die with dignity?"
Speaking of this, Nalan Zhe walked away from Leng Yushi, slowly took off his shirt, pointed to the scars on his body and said to Leng Yushi:
"You've seen these scars, do you think I'm proud of them?
I wish you could see me dying in pain, it wasn't as easy as I am now.
There have been countless times when I have wanted to pick up a knife and give myself a good time, and then I will be freed from everything, but countless times, I have persevered, and I have persevered in despair.
Do you know how desperate Lu Dao is?
I was trapped in a bottomless cave for four years,
That's right, four years!
You don't know how I got over the past four years.
It was a more realistic dead end than what you see now, and the cave was so deep that you couldn't even see the light from above.
I don't know how many times I crawled down the road, and every time I fell down, I was covered in blood, what was it for?
Don't I know the way, I can't climb out of the road at all, don't I know the way, my fate is to die in that place silently, even the grave is saved, that is a natural tomb, there are mountains and rivers outside, so the feng shui is also good.
But I'm still climbing. β
Nalan Zhe's eyes passed through the cold poem, and he seemed to look into the unreachable distance.
"There was no fragrant food, just dirty groundwater and all sorts of weeds that I couldn't name. Even wild mushrooms have to wait until summer, and it is not known whether they are poisonous or not.
Once in a while, a little bird will fly down, and I'll be lucky enough to eat a meal of meat, everything that moves, I eat, leaves that float down, insects, and other things you don't want to hear.
So, for what, for what, for what do I have to insist on living, and climb up at the risk of falling to death?
Because, I want to live.
Live and see the people I care about.
Feel the sun, be blown by the wind, eat some hot food, I don't care what ingredients are made of, what condiments are added, as long as it's hot.
Look at the flowers, no matter what kind of flowers they are, sleep on a soft bed, it's okay if it's not soft, but it's better to have a quilt.
Do you know the truth, these things are the motivation for me to live.
It's very simple, I didn't want to do anything great when I lived, and I wasn't destined to be a great person, but I just wanted to live.
Do you have anyone you care about?
If so, do you want them to hear the news of your accident, or do you want to endure the hurt and pain and persevere, so that you can have a chance to see their smiling faces? β
Hearing this, Leng Yushi was moved in an instant, and two heartwarming faces appeared in front of her, "Mom, Xiao Wu, I miss you." β
"And then?" Leng Yushi looked at Nalan Zhe, his eyes fluttering, crystal clear.
"What, then?" Nalan Zhe didn't know what Lu Dao was asking.
"And then how did you get out of the cave?"
"There's nothing worth mentioning, nothing more than trying, trying, trying. Keep exercising yourself, keep creating all the conditions that are conducive to climbing, step by step, meter by meter, and then, there will be no more. You see me, that's the best answer. Naranzhe said as he put on his shirt.
"I'm thinkingβ"
Leng Yushi's beautiful big eyes turned slyly, "If I become an empress, when I am sixty years old, I would like to ask you to help me write an autobiography." β
Hearing this, Nalan Zhe smiled, and Leng Yushi also laughed.
Nalan Zhezhi said that the girl in front of her was no longer full of negativity about life, at least, she began to look at the good places, at least, she began to have hope.
"Do you want to hear what I said to Xiao Rou?" Nalan Zhe asked with a smile as he looked at Leng Yushi, implying that as long as she opened her mouth, he would meet her request.
"I don't really want to hear it, but seeing what you want to say, well, I can pretend to want to hear it. Leng Yushi said as she walked out of the room, "If you don't mind, by the way, I can also help someone who may have insomnia." β
Nalan Zhe shook his head and followed with a depressed expression, thinking that she should marry Jin Lan with the pear girl, both of whom are out-and-out ghost elves-
(You're cute, you're amorous, you're a tricky and weird ghost elf, you're a fairy and you're not spiritual, haha...... (To be continued......)
