Chapter 848: Memories are like death
People say that parting should be told well, but they don't know that the time of parting is always when people are not ready.
Just like Chang Ding, everyone is waiting for his return.
But he also knew that he would never return......
The man who was a little shy when he spoke seemed to be lost.
No one spoke, just looked at the ethereal and vast river, and looked at the floating lantern that could not be seen in the distance like the lights of thousands of homes.
Seemingly, everyone is ready.
They've been preparing for someone to get lost when the lights are on.
Perhaps, the next time you get lost, you will be ......
But when everyone is lost, who will light the lights?
The wind on the other side of the river blew, blowing the robes of the six people on the riverside, and also curling Su Mo's long hair.
Everyone was silent, and then they returned to the hut door.
It's as if nothing has happened......
Su Mo looked back at everyone's backs and muttered, "We...... Don't you go to him? ”
All of them trembled slightly, and looked back at Su Mo.
They saw that there seemed to be a sadness on Su Mo's face, which was like experiencing the departure of a friend for the first time, and more like angrily scolding himself for his powerlessness.
Changyi's face was unusually calm, and she just looked at Su Mo like this.
"The lost person is dead, how can he find it?"
Su Mo shook his head and asked with difficulty, "How can it be dead?" He just forgot everything and got lost in the river. ”
"We'll get him back and talk about anything else......"
Changyi looked at Su Mo and was silent, and Changling didn't speak. Long Wind and Long Water looked up at the sky, not knowing what they were thinking.
Only Changzhi looked at Su Mo, tears appeared in her eyes, and she shook her head, "There is no meaning, forgetting is death." ”
"When he forgot all the past, the Changding we knew no longer existed."
"It's not just the danger of lighting up the river, it's also dangerous to get lost."
"The lost lamplighter will forget everything on the river, and the same thing will happen to us when we look for him."
"Don't look for it, it's a rule that you set yourself."
Su Mo opened his mouth and asked with difficulty: "Why is forgetting the past tantamount to dying......
Changyi slowly walked in front of Su Mo and looked at Su Mo and spoke softly.
"We live because we know our past, at least who we are!"
"When a person's past is erased by time, that person has died forever with his memory."
"All your memories are the real you!"
"If you forget all the memories that belong to Immortal, then are you still immortal?"
"You're going to be just another person, someone who looks exactly like Immortal..."
“...... But it will never be immortal again. ”
Changyi turned his head to look at the vast river, where the wind was rolling in the clouds, as if he was paying tribute to the long-lost Changding.
Maybe he's still there, or maybe he's lost and gone to the endless sea of stars......
But the Changding they knew was dead.
With his last memories, he died on the way to light the lamp......
This may be the fate of the 'lamplighter'.
"That's the first thing we need to remember all the time, which is who we are."
"Remember who is next to you!"
"Otherwise, even if we are not lost, we will become a different person......"
Su Mo's body trembled, and he couldn't stop taking half a step back, staring at the five people in front of him.
He could feel the sadness of the five, but he could feel the powerlessness to see everything clearly beyond the sadness of the five.
We live because we have our own memories.
When a person's memory disappears, it also proves that the person who carries the memory has disappeared......
It's as if his memories appear in another person. And he was alive......
Just like Su Jingyan, who lost all his past in the Jiangnan examination room back then.
He is still alive now, but he is no longer Su Jingyan......
Su Mo has always known this truth, but he has never faced it.
He couldn't tell whether he was Su Jingyan who was born in a small city in the south of the Yangtze River or Su Mo who was born in a foreign country.
Everyone left, leaving only one in white looking at the long river in a daze.
He walked to the river in a trance, and sat down slowly on the ground, constantly thinking about the shy and shy Changding in his mind...... Even if he's still around, he's not going to be long-term.
The word "longevity" is still taken for a long time.
In these two words, it seems to carry Changding's good wishes for this world.
Immortality is still there, but the person who made the wish is gone.......
The white clothes are fluttering, and the soft intestines are turning.
And he stood by the river, all the time.
I don't know how long it took, the long clothes came, and they also sat next to Su Mo, and she accompanied Su Mo to look at the direction of the other side of the long river in the distance.
"Are we really not going to look for him?" Su Mo asked.
Changyi sighed and shook his head, "I can't find it." ”
"What's more, since he forgot, let him be another person."
"Perhaps, he's had enough of us ......"
For countless years, not only Changding was lost, but they also did not look for it.
It's just that the lost people don't know where to go, as if they have merged into the 'silence' on the other side......
"Will we forget him?" Su Mo asked again.
If even they have forgotten those who were lost, where in this world are there any traces of their existence?
Changyi looked at Su Mo and opened his mouth, but he didn't speak.
Naturally, they will forget him, and in the passing of time, forget everything...... Only those three things remain.
The Protoss has a long lifespan, but it is destined to have no long memory......
It's like the balance the world has given them!
Changyi didn't speak, but Su Mo understood in Changyi's silence.
He will also go down to the river in the future, and he will also forget the long and lost long-term determination in the 'lighting of the lamp' again and again.......
But he didn't want to forget.
If even he forgets it, the origin of the word immortality will become meaningless.
Su Mo slowly turned his head, thinking in his heart.
A thought is like a tide, accompanied by Su Mo's thoughts of affection......
A stone tablet rises from the hillside behind the bank of the long river, and two large characters are engraved on it:
Changding!
Su Mo seemed to want to write something, but he didn't know what else he could write.
What is left in the world is only the word Changding......
Changyi looked at Su Mo, sighed softly, and pulled Su Mo towards the top of the hill.
Su Mo didn't know why, so he could only follow the long clothes.
The two climbed the hillside, but Su Mo froze in place.
I saw that on the other side of the hillside, there were stone monuments all over the ground......
Changyi looked at the stone tablets and sighed sadly: "If you don't see each other, if you don't see each other, if you don't think about it......"
"A long time ago, we should have had a lot of people.......
