Chapter 173: Time is like a knife
"Teacher",
Michelle poured Xia Li a cup of coffee, put on the white coat and simply tied her hair up with a rubber band and hung it down to her waist.
The room is dimly lit and simply furnished, without the cuteness and warmth of a girl's boudoir.
This room seemed to be a pool of stagnant water, and although the girl in front of her had a brighter face than before, her eyes had long since lost the sparkle of the day.
Xia Li still remembered that when she first met her in the slums of Stormwater, although her face was the same, her eyes were not like this.
At that time, her eyes were full of happiness, fidelity and longing for the future.
And now she seems to be a flower about to wither.
As an oracle, Xia Li will personally teach each child for a period of time after sending them to the temple, and take care of them in their practice and life, and those children have even deeper feelings for her than the gods of the temples, and they have always called her "teacher", and Michelle is no exception.
"Ah Xue, you are much more haggard than before",
Xia Li smiled.
Standing up and walking to the window, she saw that the tall building in front of her blocked all the sunlight here, and she said, "Ah Xue, why don't you be with the classmates in the temple? It's been more than a year, you should always have a few friends who can talk."
Michelle put her hands on the stove and shook her head gently.
It doesn't bode well for people with the Ice Origin to rely on a stove for heating.
"You're still so alone, how can you do without someone to talk to around the girl?",
"This place is weirdly cold, why don't you stay in the dormitory and come to this place to live alone?",
Michelle said: "It's too noisy",
Miffy and Zhao Ziyang are still so persevering, but what's the use? The more they choose the wrong object of hard work, the deeper they will hurt, and the deeper the injury, the more they will be unable to extricate themselves.
Looking at the stove quietly, the flames reflected in my eyes, and for a moment it seemed as if I had returned to a year ago.
A year ago in the slums, whenever winter came, she and Ye Ran also sat on chairs and relied on the faint light of the stove to keep warm, Ye Ran would take out the blanket in the cupboard, wrap her tightly, hold the stove to her feet, and then busy alone.
Retracted his thoughts, retracted his hand, looked down at the "green silk winding" on his fingers, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of water vapor.
Charlie also saw the strands of hair wrapped around her middle finger, which were rings made of hair, to be exact.
"Axue, what is that?",
"Is this called green silk winding, Ye Ran did it, I promised to do his knotted hair wife cut a strand of hair that day, he also cut off a strand of his own, made this green silk winding, I hope that the green silk winding fingers and the old age, twilight snow white head will not be separated",
"I don't know if I can still get my wish in this life",
She sighed, and the past drifted through the air like a cloud of smoke.
"You've been wearing it?",
Michelle nodded and said, "Compared to the gray bricks and tiles of the slums, the temple is solemn, but it is also as cold as ice. That night I promised to be his wife, and I expressed my willingness to leave everything to him, and I snuggled up with him all night, but he did nothing, and kept weaving this green silk wind",
"I smiled and asked him if he didn't have any illusions between men and women? He looked at me for a long time, and said that poor and lowly couples mourned for a hundred days, and he didn't dare to have such fantasies, and when he could leave there one day, even if he could only be rich and safe in this life, he would definitely give me a wedding."
"Poor couples mourn for a hundred days, I always remember the look on his face when he said this, I know that he is gambling with his life against fate",
"And I took his words to heart, and cooked for him, and washed his clothes, and did all the things that a wife should do, and entered the temple for him."
Listening to her whisper, Xia Li's fingers suddenly trembled slightly.
"Since all he wants is a little wealth and peace, why don't I do it for him as his wife? He has taken care of me for so long, why can't I take care of him? If a short separation can be exchanged for a lifetime together, I am willing to pay, but why has this journey become a strange road?",
Her eyes turned red, her fingers were embedded in her palms, and her whole heart was curled into a ball.
Grievances, sadness, and sadness all turned into dots of crystal across the face at this moment.
Xia Li also had mixed feelings in her heart, and said: "Don't be sad, he has always had you in his heart",
"Teacher, I have read Andoru's letter",
Xia Li's heart moved: "Have you seen it?"
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in my heart.
Michelle nodded: "Words are like knives, every sentence is heart-wrenching, his self-esteem can't bear it, I can understand him",
Every word of the letter poked Ye Ran's heart, aimed at the weakest place in his heart.
He thought he had taken the money, he thought he had written those words that had humbled him to the dust, and he had left the hut and avoided her.
It's just that why would he rather trust a man who has been hurting him than his own wife?
"He has never only known to protect others, but he doesn't know how to protect himself, he doesn't know anything about the twelve demons lying by his side for so long, even now, I am struggling, how can he not be in a dilemma?",
Xia Li's heart fluctuated, and said, "Since you know that it was a misunderstanding, it would be good to explain it to him."
Putting down the coffee cup, his fingers still trembling slightly.
Michelle smiled bitterly: "Someone sent me that letter two months ago, and I still don't know the identity of the sender, but what's the use of explaining it now?
"This is providence",
A sad sigh, the bitter taste of God's will is fully paid.
"I don't know why Andoro was able to take the gold without knowing it that day, and how he imitated my handwriting to hide from the world, the twelve demons have been dormant for so long, good and bad to him, and his attitude is unknown, and I suddenly found that we were coveted by so many people that day."
"Or maybe he is the only one they covet from beginning to end",
"Now, then, you are going to do it",
"He has always been upright and upright, and he will be overwhelmed by the enemy in the dark, and he needs someone to help him in the dark, and this is the meaning of my coming",
"Maybe in his heart, my appearance will gradually fade and be gradually replaced by another person, but who can be willing if I don't go to the end and find out who is behind the scenes?"
"It's been a year, three hundred and sixty days and nights, every time I wake up from a dream, look at the flickering oil lamps, look at the full house of gold, and think about how good it would have been if I hadn't chosen to leave."
But the years are unforgiving, when the memories of the past are burned out by time, all that remains is the ashes that pass away with the wind
Ye Ran's childhood sweetheart has explained most of it, and people are really not good
