Chapter 120: Despair on the Melancholy Mountain
"Hello Dengke, I'm mute. I was really surprised to see the words in the palm of my hand. How are you now? I'm worried about you. ”
Deng Ke trembled and read the words several times, he was very happy at the moment, he felt incredible, he actually talked to Shizun again. Without much thought, he continued to write in the palm of his hand:
"I'm fine now, don't worry. I don't know how you are now, are you happy in life? I often dream of you, and dreams with you are always beautiful, and I am very happy when I wake up. ”
Mute back:
"I'm fine right now. I took a look at the astrological signs yesterday and it shouldn't be good to see you right now. Why don't you tell me, no matter what happens, you're going to get through it, right?"
A warm current surged into his heart, and Deng Ke didn't expect that Mute still cared about himself, but he was about to pass away, and he was still very melancholy.
"Yes, a little bump, not worth mentioning. Writing this, Deng Ke's eyes turned red. "Mute, I miss you so much, do you miss me?"
In the middle of the night, silent reply:
"I miss you too, you get better quickly, come and see me, okay?"
"Good!" wrote Dengke, and after a long time of making up his mind, he finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Shizun, have you ever loved me?"
There was a suffocating silence.
"Dengke, I love you and have always loved you. So, for my sake you must get better. You will, right!"
Seeing Mute's words, Deng Ke's heart was overjoyed, and he felt that he was in heaven, extremely happy, and he could no longer feel any pain. The gray city collapsed in an instant. A vast expanse of blue desert comes into view. He finally reached the last mountain, the Melancholy Mountain. The scene here was exactly the same as what he had seen in his dreams. He strode in, shouting the names of Tushen and the Darkcave family as he ran. But he ran for a long time and didn't see a single figure. At last he was so thirsty that he ran to a pond and drank a lot of water. The water is chaotic and bitter, and the lamp that drinks it pouts again and again. When he had finally drunk his fill, he fell down to rest by the pool. He leisurely watched as the colorful clouds in the sky drifted around, one moment mingling, the next suddenly separated, and slowly became countless planets. The planet spins and turns, and eventually it becomes a planet. The sky darkened, and the universe appeared. Lamp Ke sat up in amazement, and he saw that oceans began to appear on the planet, followed by life, and then multicellular organisms, mollusks, plants, fish, reptiles. Mammals, and eventually humans were born. Geography is divided. Humanity took control of the world and began a war of desires, history continued to be presented in front of Dengke's eyes, he saw the era in which he lived, he became a figure in history, leading everyone to finally defeat the island king and restore peace to all walks of life, but this was only a flash in the pan, and soon everything about him, everything that he thought was important ceased to exist, new people appeared, and new wars were repeated. New species have replaced humans, and newer species have replaced new species. The land, the cold mountain, and the fairy island all disappeared into the dust of the universe, and eventually the universe also disappeared, and there was no cloud to be seen in the darkness.
Deng Ke watched all this in horror, and was very reluctant to let things pass like this. In every process, he always wanted to keep something, but he couldn't keep anything. He finally understood that no matter how hard people work, how great they are, and how immortal they are, they will one day be forgotten by future generations and will completely disappear in the long river of time. No matter how important the present thing is to itself, how meaningful, how incredible and even beyond everything else, it will all be destroyed in the blink of an eye, as if it had never happened. There is a good saying, the only constant in the world is change, nothing lasts forever, even human beings, even diamonds, even love. So what's the point of what we're doing? Everything will pass, and what's the difference between doing and not doing?
Deng Ke lay down weakly, and suddenly lost his energy. He is at a loss now, unable to find the value of life and the meaning of life. But subconsciously, he was still full of hope, because he felt that no matter how everything around him changed, whether it ended or not, at least his love with Shizun would not change, and perhaps this was the only meaning in the universe, which remained in infinity forever with a pure black imprint. Thinking about it, Deng Ke looked into his palm, and to his surprise, there were a few lines of small words there.
"Dengke, I'm sorry, it wasn't Mute who just talked to you, but Aimei. I didn't mean to lie to you, but you wrote the wrong address and the letter was returned to me. Mute's original name was supposed to be Legus instead of Birch Mute, right? I'm going to be wrong to help you get through the Pain Mountain, I hope you can understand. Now, go tell what you want to say to the real mute. I can't replace her, sorry. ”
Deng Ke closed his eyes reproachfully, and after a while he sat up and took out the pen again, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally wrote in the palm of his hand:
"Mute, how are you? I'm Dengke, please reply to me if you can. Legus. Lamp Ke clenched his fists tightly, and he prayed that Shizune would reply to him immediately. After a moment, he opened his palm and saw a line of small writing inside.
"Hello, did you send me the pen? You really surprised me. ”
"Silence! is silence!" Lamp Ke's heart pounded, calmed down for a moment, and he continued:
"How are you now? Are you happy? I always dream of you, I miss you so much, I miss you very much. ”
After a while, Deng Ke saw another line of small print.
"I'm fine, just a little unsure about the future. How are you now? Are you still on Fairy Island?"
"Well, I'm now on the last mountain of the Ten Thousand Evil Mountains of Immortal Island, Melancholy Mountain. I'm looking for Tushen and Zimudan's family, they're buried here. I haven't found it yet. I lost the Moon Ship, it fell into the hands of the Island King, and the Grotto Army rebelled. Am I useless? You must be disappointed in me, right?"
"You can't be blamed for this, maybe it's fate. You have to be careful and hope you are well. ”
Looking at the silent and short words, Deng Ke's heart was mixed, and he didn't even know what to say next. After a moment of hesitation, he put down his pen and wanted to end the conversation. But I didn't expect another message from the mute end.
"Hmm...... Something to say. ”
Dengke was pleasantly surprised.
"Say it. ”
"It's been so long, and you're still thinking about the past. Right?"
"Yes. ”
"How perfect are you? I don't think you should live in your imagination. ”
No, this feeling is not fake. ”
"Be realistic. I can't accept that I can't let anyone get out. ”
Deng Ke froze, he vaguely understood the meaning of mute.
"Have you ever loved me?" he couldn't help but ask the question he wanted to ask the most.
"Do you dare to listen?" Deng Ke's heart sank to the bottom, he kept shaking his head, he was very scared, but he still wanted to hear it with his own ears.
"Say, be honest with me. ”
"That's not love. ”
Deng Ke cried, and sure enough, his guess was reasonable, Shizune really never loved him. But how could it be? She had told herself that she loved him, her sweet smile at him, the reddish cheeks she had when she looked at him, and the hands she gave him were really all his imagination? He didn't admit it! How could he admit it! This girl he missed day and night, this girl he loved with his life, had never loved him.
"What's that? what you've said to me in the past, are our days together fake?
"I can't say what it was like right now. I just want to say don't dwell on it anymore and live the present and the future well, it's not very difficult, right?"
"Yes, I will, don't worry. After writing the last sentence, he threw the pen into the pool. Then, he stood up and walked forward step by step. The wind blew in his face, and the sand hit him in the face, body, and legs, but he seemed unconscious, and just walked forward numbly. The wind blew stronger and stronger, almost knocking him down, but he refused to stop, like a winding clock, mechanically only knowing how to move. (To be continued......)
