036. The flower language of the yellow azalea
Li Oz was not shocked by the other party, he just calmly came behind the other party, sat down with his back against the other party, and stretched out his right hand over his left shoulder, just on the other person's shoulder.
The old woman saw his intentions, so she put her hand on the back of his hand and quietly felt the temperature of the other party:
"Your hands are still so warm and strong, and your skin is still young. I still remember holding this hand and kneeling down to propose to you - hehe, when I was younger, I was so energetic. β
Li Oz didn't say anything, he could feel his wrinkled palms trembling all the time.
The old woman hadn't spoken to someone she knew for too long, and it took a little time for her to get used to it and organize the language.
"Hundreds of years ago, during the time of the Amilyok Federation, the government was harmonious, the world was peaceful, and I was also a young and promising, healthy and lively girl. I had been expecting the state to assign me a brave, strong, hard-working object, such as a farmer, a worker, an army or an astronaut or something - and at this moment, I was assigned a task by the state. β
The old woman tried to calm her excitement and said:
"'Alexia, among your contemporaries, you have the best physical qualities, excellent mental qualities, and even more beautiful qualities, and we want you to see the future of the world for your country. If there is someone you like among them, unite with them and write a new peace as a messenger of the future and the past. ββ
"'But what if they have a setback?' I asked. β
"'Then you will be their bride.' The secretary said to me, 'Guide them, serve them, and if you have new yokes and enemies, smash them to pieces with your hammer and fight for all the injustice and oppression.' ββ
The old woman covered her face, and her dim eyes were already shining:
"I'm sorry...... The yellow cuckoo contract is not a proof of love. It's just that the secretary deliberately wrote this way in order to guide the future people to open the time capsule. β
"I'm sorry I lied to you, Mr. Lee."
"I'm not your bride alone, I'm ...... For the sake of the people of this era, a gift from Yamilyoko to the people of the future. β
The old woman bowed her head guiltily:
"Really...... I'm sorry I lied to you for so long. β
"Actually, I don't have children at all. The organization trained me so that I could record the history, humanities, morality, law, science and technology, and works of art in the past, and bring them to the present in their entirety. β
"My life has already reached the limit in a long slumber, from the first day I saw you, I was an old woman, even if it was modified with prosthetics and strengthened with genes, it could not erase the mental loss."
The old woman said apologetically:
"Really, I'm sorry, Mr. Oz."
"I know." Li Oz said.
"yes, you should know."
The old woman was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise:
"You...... What did you say? β
"The fact of the Yellow Cuckoo contract, I have known it for a long time."
Li Oz said calmly:
"Comrade Alexia, I know that you are not my personal bride, you are a gift that belongs to all the people of this era, those precious spiritual possessions, faith inheritance, ideals and mantle, are the dowry you bring to this era."
ββ¦β¦ Is that so? β
Alexia murmured:
"That's fine, the person I feel the most guilty and sorry for in my heart is you."
"Equivalent exchange, Alexia, I'll tell you a secret too."
Lee Oz says:
"Actually, I didn't open the Yellow Cuckoo contract at all."
The wind crushed the rape flowers, and the turban was swept up into the sky and flew into the distance.
Alexia's silver hair had long since fallen to pieces, revealing a large bare head, her aging face was covered with precipitated pigment patches, wrinkles were like oxidized apples, her teeth were not very stable, and her whole person was no longer as beautiful and lively as she had been in her youth.
She didn't look back at Leoz, and Leoz didn't look back at her.
The two of them sat on the ground with their backs on their backs, maintaining the impression of each other in their hearts in the field where rape flowers were in full bloom.
In Alexia's heart, she absolutely did not want to be seen by Li Oz as such an old and ugly old woman.
And Leoz also knew that Alexia's reluctance to be influenced by his young beauty no longer shook her determination to serve the people.
"When I was younger, I had a heartbeat."
Alexia was going to pull the smooth palm of Li Oz and said softly:
"Regardless of whether you are a witness to the Yellow Cuckoo Contract or not, at least you have done this."
"But your 'bridegroom' wasn't supposed to be me."
Lee Oz says:
"I lied to you, Alexia."
Alexia laughed:
"It's all come to this point today, do you still care about this? Oops, Oz, or do you think Ms. Alexia is a calculating, small-bellied girl? β
"That's not what I meant, Elysy, it's an honor to be able to make friends with you and fight side by side along the way."
Li Oz Says:
"I'm not human anymore."
"I feel it, I haven't seen you for forty years, and the aura on your body doesn't look like a mortal anymore...... It's warm and fiery enough to vaporize and burn everything that comes close to you. It's like the sun. β
Alexia says:
"I think it's clear to me why I had a crush on you, Mr. Lyoz."
"Really? Let's hear it. β
"None of us belong to any one person, just like the sun. We are born with an obligation to do great things for others, for our country, for society, for the world, and for any other group. β
Alexia Says:
"It's a responsibility and it's a pleasure. We have been working hard for the existence of 'beyond the individual'. I am fighting for the people and the oppressed, for a better world free from exploitation and suffering, even if it is just a blueprint...... As long as we keep getting closer and closer, people will live better, and there will always be a day when that world can be realized. β
"Establish the kingdom of God on earth? It takes absolute courage and perseverance. β
"So what are your responsibilities and obligations, Mr. Leoz? What is your goal, your path, your life? β
ββ¦β¦ Unjust. β
Li Aozi raised his hand, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice:
"Everything I do, in the final analysis, is just to get justice. There are people who owe me a debt and I just want to get it back from them. β
Alexia leaned on Leoz's shoulder, the most intimate gesture she had ever made, and when Leoz spoke, her old voice seemed to return to the beginning:
"You must understand that violence cannot solve all problems, and blindly killing, on the contrary, may turn yourself into the enemy of your hatred."
"Over the years, you have certainly not had an easy life, and you will definitely have to endure all kinds of hardships in the future, and the road to fairness is full of injustice. Absolute fairness can never come. β
"But, I'm sure you can do it, Mr. Lee's."
"We are all striving for a lofty ideal, although the means are different, the ideas may be very different, but no one wants to be unhappy forever."
"The world is an organism, and we can never be separated from the changes in society, nations, civilizations, grand narratives, and cosmic abysses. As soon as the cosmic rays become a little stronger, humanity will die, and if politicians do not talk about interests, wars will break out...... None of us can escape. β
Alexia took Leoz's hand and said seriously:
"If you want to remove the injustice in your body, then what you need to do is to eliminate the injustice in the whole world in order to usher in your own liberation."
"We'll talk about it then."
Li Oz shook his head:
"You have eliminated the Entropy King and the Doom, and there will be better times in the future, and we have untied each other from the burden of lies...... Do you have any other wishes? Alexia? β
"My life has run out."
Alexia Says:
"Do you know information entropy? As life continues, it gradually accumulates chaos to the point of collapse, and it is no longer possible to maintain a continuous and stable system - I have been asleep for too long, and it is no longer possible to continue life. β
"I know."
Li Oz looked at the system panel in front of him:
Name: Alexia Yinmanuel Justin
[Gender]: Female
[Age]: 591 (Reached the limit)
[Faction]: Amilyoko Federation (extinct)
[Total Grade]: None
[HP]: 0.03/1 (fading)
[Status]: The limit is approaching (the target's creature and soul strength has reached its limit, and its lifespan cannot be extended in any form)
ββββββββββββ
This time, even [Bloodline] couldn't help.
"Maybe it's because my mental strength is strong enough." Alexia said, "Of all the people who planned the Yellow Cuckoo Pact, I was the only one who could hold on until now...... But it seems that it is for this reason that my mind is on the verge of being worn out. β
"I'm supposed to take you to space."
"If I go with you, leaving behind the people and the toiling masses, then I am not me, and I have betrayed the masses and my faith, Mr. Leoz."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have offended your faith......"
"Li Oz, you are only so gentle with me."
"How so?"
"If someone else is bent on dying, you will surely shout, 'Fool, did you squander your life like this?' , or don't care about anything, silently give the other person a kick. β
"I don't have it."
"But you really respect me."
Alexia touched his hand, closed his eyes, and said:
"My ideals are to fight all my life for the happiness of all mankind, but I, as a traditional woman, also have my dreams."
"Mr. Lioz, the Symyoko Federation, my country has always been known for its liveliness, health, and enthusiasm, and we are good at singing and dancing, and we are keen to express our feelings through dance and songs."
"If you couldβ"
"I see."
Li Oz raised his hand and gently slit his palm.
[Sequence 82: King Hunter]
After combining the blood of the ether, he can use the effect of blood volatilization to bring bloodline infection to others at any time.
Blood quickly churned from the palm of the hand, and spread quickly like a rose blooming.
The faint sweet fragrance is mixed with the rape flowers, which does not bring the corrosive poison of the ether, and the brilliant rape flowers are quickly dyed with a layer of brilliant snow white, and the flowers are clustered, like a newlywed gauze skirt.
Alexia Yinmanuel Justin flicked her nose slightly, and a whole new power awakened from her body.
She opened her thick eyelashes, and her clear eyes were like lake water. Her long brown hair was on her shoulders, and she grabbed it in surprise and braided it into a beautiful braid in two strokes.
She was pleasantly surprised to see her palms regain their youthful luster, palms and calluses from labor, and health and vitality returned to this body.
Then, a large hand burst into his field of vision
"Come on, good girl."
Li Oz stretched out his hand:
"I never lead an independent and strong woman up, but you are an exception, this is what I owe you."
"Leoz."
Alexia lifted her chin and said proudly:
"I'm old, can't you be more likable?"
"Well, let me think about ......"
Leoz groaned for a moment, then suddenly pounced on him and picked Alexia up by the waist.
"You've finally gotten your senses, rammer!"
She laughed and slapped the former, then fell to the ground on tiptoes, took two steps back, pinched the corners of her non-existent skirt, and in terms of dress, she was no different from an ordinary rural woman, with blue sleeves, wide, thick cotton trousers, and bright clothes.
It's earthy, cheesy, and braided, without the bright charm of urban beauties and young girls.
But for Alexia, 'cheesy old hat' is not a bad word, her cheeks are red, I don't know whether she is shy or excited, she smiles generously, and the clothes of the working people wear on her, full of confidence and healthy vitality.
It's more beautiful than any dress.
"Alexia Yin, Manuel Justin."
She smiled and said:
"Can you dance with me, sir?"
"I don't know much." "I've never enjoyed this kind of extravagant fellowship," says Lee......
"No, it's not a luxury. Dance was formed to invoke the blessings of the gods, and then evolved into a form of entertainment and expression of emotions for ordinary people. β
Alexia held out her hand:
"Come on, lad, let's sing and dance."
Li Oz did not refuse.
"Follow me."
Alexia took his hand and put one hand around his back, swaying from side to side.
Her dance moves are light and powerful. The dances from her hometown often involve stepping, turning, and jumping, and while Leoz only shakes her shoulders from the sidelines, Alexia is like a wind-up mechanical toy, doing similar movements repeatedly.
"Giggles, Leoz, you're so funny......"
Alexia took his hands and walked with him in a circle in the sea of flowers, lifting the petals with her footsteps, and the pure white petals fell like snowflakes, expressing her feelings freely in the air.
They jumped from day to night, from night to dawn, without a trace of distress, without a trace of anxiety.
Ideals and futures, missions and aspirations, are temporarily put aside at this moment.
At least for this day, they choose to be true to their hearts.
"In the fields and by the river, the cranberry flowers are blooming,"
There is a young man who really makes my love,
But I can't confess to him,
I can't say what I am full of!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Old woman, Granny Alexia! You're really, Momβcome here. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
He didn't know anything about it.
The maiden thinks for him day and night,
The cranberry flowers by the river have withered,
The girl's love has not diminished at all!
The girl's love has not diminished at all!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Wake up, how can you fall asleep here?"
"Stop arguing, kid."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The girl's love is growing every day,
I'm a girl, how can I tell him?
I don't have the courage to speak, I'm wandering,
Let my sweetheart guess for himself!
Let my sweetheart guess for himself!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Ivan, Granny Alexia is asleep, let's send her back."
"Mom, can I still go to play table tennis with my mother-in-law tomorrow? She taught me the downspin and I've learned it."
"Mother-in-law's waist is not good, you should learn to play by yourself, good, Ivan, obedient."
The little imp named Ivan was coaxed out of the rape fields, and it was probably not until much later that he could figure out why people had revolved around the warm and good mother-in-law in the village that day.
It's just that when he realized this, it was more than ten years later, and it was time for him to represent the athletes of the frost-plated country and participate in the table tennis match of the blue community with a shared future.
When Ivan Giovanovich Kharchev came to the top of the mountain in a clean sportswear and with bread, salt and sausages, he happened to meet a young man, perhaps the most beautiful being in the world, enough to transcend the limits of gender and race.
Ivan greeted the other man, who smiled gently, and together they swept the grave, finished the worship, and then talked about many things, and the other asked him many tricks.
It's just that it's not table tennis.
"Do you know how to dance?"
The man gave him a cigarette, but he didn't smoke it.
"I can ping-pong."
Ivan holds a cigarette between his ears, and as an athlete he does not smoke either.
"Better than me. I won't know anything. β
The handsome man squatted with him in the field, without the slightest shelf, and if he changed his clothes, from behind, he probably did not differ from the old peasant.
Ivan smiled and bluntly teased:
"What's the matter, you're very handsome, definitely a thoughtful-looking beauty. It is also popular if you don't need to be able to dance. β
"You're too young to understand."
The man stood up and turned to leave:
"Sometimes it's lonely to stand in the middle of the crowd, and at that time, you probably miss a failed ball."
