"I want to too, but I- how do I go back? How do I-" Shen Fengming couldn't help but glance at the coffin. Even if he rushes back, Heizhu's manpower in Lin'an may still be used to protect Xia Yan and protect Xiajiazhuang, where does he have the spare time to take people along the way to find Xia Zheng and go.

Xia Yan—he suddenly thought of him—he had lost his master. He couldn't imagine what would happen to his brother or even his father.

"Can you ...... Help Xiajiazhuang one more time? one last time. He spoke, "At least you're still the Moon-Eclipse Chief—at least they're still listening to you—like you didn't let them move Xia Chen, you—can you stop this operation?"

Thirty looked at him and did not speak.

"You don't want anything to happen in Xiajiazhuang, do you? I can exchange conditions with you. Shen Fengming said, "If you are willing to help, I will definitely try to treat your heart disease." ”

Thirty was slightly moved, "Do you have a way?"

"It just came to me suddenly—since illusion can make you lose your mind, it should also be able to cure your heart disease. But this is too dangerous to do, and it must be considered in the long run. I can't really think of a solution right now, but I'm — I can answer you first. ”

After hesitating for a long time, Fang said: "I can give it a try, but if Fifteen has a plan, I won't force him to change his mind." ”

After all, Shen Fengming's heart was slightly relieved. After a moment of silence, the candle shadow was dim, and the chill of winter twilight appeared in the hall. I don't know if the snowy road is too difficult to walk, and Wan Sunset's body has not yet arrived. Thirty took a breath, the air was cold, but it was cloudy.

"You said your story wasn't finished yet?" Shen Fengming looked at him and said. "Is there anything else you want to say to me?"

"Do you think that these things of mine are nothing out of the ordinary, nothing compared to many people?" asked Thirty.

Shen Fengming shook his head: "I didn't say that." How can people compare with each other? There are people who can survive great hardships, but they cannot overcome small things. The slightest crack in the human heart is enough to become a disease, otherwise how can illusion take advantage of the void?"

"I know - most of you people in Heizhu have no home, no parents, relatives and friends, and any one of them can say that they are several times more lonely than me. "Thirty Dao, "'Eclipse Moon' is not like you, although the original intention is to be a 'dead soldier', but in fact, we people were originally sent by our families for training, and we are not orphans without roots, sometimes it is not as good as you who have no worries and look down on life and death. Especially-a few years ago, Qu was reborn and disappeared, there was no news from the Jiangxia League, the 'Eating Moon' had nothing to do, and most people had returned home, and they no longer had the heart of such a 'dead man'. I also returned to Dongshui Village at that time, although compared to others, my parents passed away in old age, and my brother and sister got married, so I didn't have much kinship to spend time, but going home was different from being in the eclipse moon - I thought ...... I can always stay in Dongshui Village and live the life there. ”

"So you became a family and gave birth to a daughter. Shen Fengming said. "You thought the Ewashita Alliance would never appear again—thought you would never have to return to the Eclipse Moon. ”

"'Eclipse Moon' has its own mechanism for the replacement of the old and the new, as long as the newcomers keep coming up, even if there is news from the Jiangxia League, most of them don't have to go back to us, like me, there is nothing extraordinary, and even being a trainer can't take the turn, and there will be another ten or twenty years, without the support of the Jiangxia League, the old funds of the 'Shiyue' will be exhausted, and there will be no spare strength to continue, and it will die. But—the world is unpredictable, who would have thought that it would not be for the sake of the Jiangxia League, but for the sake of my daughter—to return to the rivers and lakes for the person who clearly should keep me away from the rivers and lakes the most—everything in this world is so unsatisfactory, isn't it?"

"You went back to Shiyue for your daughter?" Shen Fengming thought for a moment, "What are you talking about—going to Heizhu at that time?" Yes, I already thought it was strange that with you, it was unlikely that you would be driven by Heizhu, and still bring such a large group of brothers. You say you're for your daughter, and you mean—"

"For the money. "If you have sought medical treatment from all over the world, you will understand what I mean." During the years when I was in Dongshui Village, Ma Si wanted to tell me more than once to go to Heizhu to help him, but I never refused. But later...... I finally agreed. Yes, it's just because of the black bamboo. Originally, this was my own business, and I didn't have to bring the 'Eating Moon', but after the seniors in the 'Eating Moon' learned about it, they told me that in the past few years, the Eating Moon has been in vain, and it has long been lost, and the thirty people have been replaced, and now most of them are 'newcomers', in case the Jiangxia Alliance is suddenly called, it is not yet known whether they can do it in case of trouble, since I am going to Heizhu, it is better for me to take them to experience and test their hands, so at least, there is still an 'old man'. Therefore, heh, I was the youngest, the last, and the most inconspicuous 'thirty' in 'Eclipse Moon', but this recall, unconsciously, has become their 'brother'. Say anything - I don't treat my brothers as human beings, only as my marionettes - yes, I'm just afraid that they will die. I'm a very demanding man, and I want them to do everything thoroughly, and they are not allowed to make a single mistake—I am afraid that if they do not do everything I expected them to take in every step, they will not be able to come back—they will not be able to go back to the home they should have returned!"

Shen Fengming looked at him and didn't say anything for a while, and after a while, Fang laughed: "In the Black Bamboo Society, it is said that the 'Eating Moon' is not like a living person, and no one knows how you did it." It doesn't matter what you do that way – even if others want to, they may not be able to learn. You say you're at the bottom of the original 'Moon-Eclipse' list—the most inconspicuous? I want to know what kind of ghosts were the 'Moon-Eaters' back then, and it's worth your self-esteem?"

"It's not that I'm taking it lightly. "Thirty Dao," those who are selected for the 'Eating the Moon', in addition to the basic martial arts skills that must be passed, are all trained to show their talents and interests, such as being good at collecting information, good at tracking tracks, good at healing injuries - and so on, which is much more useful than just killing with hands. Compared to them, I really have nothing to do, except for a little better fingering, so as not to hold people back. But—even if you want to do it, why do you have to finger it? What is the difference between swords, guns, swords, sticks, fists and feet?"

"But you've been chosen by the eclipse moon. Shen Fengming said, "I really have nothing to do - why did I choose you?"

"I can only say...... Serendipity. Thirty looked up at him. "I remember that at the end of the year, only the last two positions of 'Twenty-Nine' and 'Thirty' were to be determined. In terms of skill, the rest of the people should be me and Maas who won, but I and him are both good at fingering, it is too similar, but the one who is slightly inferior to the two of us entered the election first, and won the 'twenty-nine' position, while the two of us can only be selected one. I tried three or four games with Maas, and I was slightly inferior to him in kung fu, but I was able to hold on, and after a long time, he was not very patient, so he showed his anxiety, so he - several seniors in the examination school had their own opinions and were indecided. It was then that Qu Xianlin suddenly visited. Although the matter of the moon eclipse has always been decided only by himself, even the leader of the Jiangxia Alliance can't control it, but he came by coincidence, and he can only let him see. He didn't stay long either. After he left, the then chief of the eclipse of the moon, the fifth day of the first month, suddenly decided to choose me, and it was not until many years later, when everyone returned to their hometowns, that he told me that Qu Xianlin told him at that time that my age, appearance and body shape looked similar to that of his righteous son Qu Rebirth. ”

"What do you mean? Is it about the same age, will it be more compatible in the future? or—the appearance and body are similar, maybe one day we can be a substitute for the dead?"

Thirty smiled lightly. "Then I don't know. So if you want to say that I am so good about me, I am good at growing up like Qu Zhong. ”

"But I see you reborn with the song—I don't know how old you are, but your bones don't look alike. ”

"It was young, a teenager, maybe it was about the same. Later, it gradually looked different, and it was not surprising. ”

"To put it this way, it's very subtle between you and the song of rebirth. It's strange that he believes in you so much - it's not the first time you've been a stand-in for him, have you?"

Seeing that Thirty was silent and did not answer, he did not pursue it, but said, "If you had been chosen in this way and not Mas that day, Immas would not have been so discouraged by his disposition." ”

He didn't say anything. "Thirty Dao," but he didn't go back with the others to continue the next year's training, and after losing the election, he quit and had no news. Maybe he didn't have any attachment to 'Eating the Moon' - but I always felt that I owed him for this, and later managed to find him, only to find out that he had already thrown himself into the black bamboo. He treated me as an old friend, and told me that Heizhu was very good, much happier than in the eclipse moon, and there were not so many rules. ”

"It's just that he's unruly. Shen Fengming sneered.

"I don't care what kind of person he is. "Thirty Dao," I went our separate ways with him in the next few years, but occasionally we would still meet and catch up, if you want to say what kind of friendship I have with him - yes, it is not much friendship, but in the end I have a little sustenance outside Dongshui Village over the years. He knew a lot about me, about my daughter's illness, about my pains in seeking medical treatment. I always felt that I had told him a lot of things in the past few years, which had somewhat relieved my heartache, so that I would not retreat in despair every time I saw my daughter's appearance. Later, I agreed to him to go to Heizhu, not only for money, but I didn't want to get involved in the battle between you and him, but - last year you and he finally fought for the name of the 'gold medal', and he came to ask me for help, I always wanted to pay back the share owed back then, and also repay the friendship over the years, so - there is no reward for killing you, and I still took it. But since he lost his hand, he didn't pay it back. ”

He sighed, "After I went back on the night of the eclipse, my daughter became very ill, and I really didn't have time to ask Masdo to explain. He should deal with the gold medal battle is imminent, and of course he has no time to chase after Dongshui Village to ask me. It wasn't until more than a month later that I inquired about it, and you had won. I never thought he would lose to you. Of course I wanted to figure out what was going on that day. If he was killed by you, then—it would not be an exaggeration to say that I had caused his death by mistake. ”

"So you came to Huizhou to investigate this matter. ”

"I shouldn't have come. Thirty turned his face away. "I wanted to investigate his death, but I didn't feel at ease about leaving my daughter for too long, so I brought her here to visit the doctor in Huizhou and find someone to find out. But I didn't expect the snow to fall in Huizhou - so big. She's so sick and weak, I shouldn't have brought her out in such a cold winter. ”

He took a slight breath, as if breathing in the cold of last winter: "She died in Huizhou." Even if I had left her with the doctor for the time being, there was nothing I could do to prevent her from deteriorating. When she called me, no one could find me, because I was looking for Maas's body and didn't tell anyone. There are many famous doctors in this world, but after all, there is no real miracle doctor who can save her life. ”

Shen Fengming also seemed to have inhaled a trace of cold air leaking from the window lattice: "In other words, you didn't continue to investigate Mas's matter at that time because ...... She. ”

"I actually know that she's been holding out for a long time. Thirty looked back at the coffin, "I know the pain of her life, I know she's going to leave me sooner or later, I'm just ...... Reluctant. The doctor told me that before she died, she wanted to tell me that I would no longer have to be distracted by her and that I could do what I had to do. But I ...... I don't know what else I have to do. Heizhu didn't have to go anymore, and Mas looked insignificant in front of her. I took her back to my hometown and buried her, and I just felt that I should go with her all day, but I ......"

"I just didn't find a proper way to die. Shen Fengming answered.

These words made Thirty laugh, as if he were about to burst into tears. "Isn't it funny?" he laughed, "and what's even funnier—these are things I never said to my brothers, but I can say them to you." ”

Shen Fengming seemed to want to laugh too, but—maybe today's situation was still too heavy, and he really couldn't laugh. He got up and walked over to the coffin and looked inside again. Xia Chen and Wei Ying's eyes were closed, motionless, and their faces were as pale as paper.

"Don't worry. He said, "As long as I enter Lin'an City, I will release this girl." With a little pressure on his hand, he closed the lid of the coffin. "Now, let's get the matter out of here. ”

As if to respond to his words, there was a gentle knock on the door. Half of Cheng Fangyu's body immediately entered sideways and whispered: "The person has been delivered, has the hidden thing been hidden?" ”

Shen Fengming squinted his eyes at Thirty, and the latter didn't need him to remind him, and he hid behind the coffin with a flash. Shen Fengming had erased all other traces, probably—the only thing that needed to be hidden in this room now was him.

In a trance, he felt that it was a year ago, he was sitting next to the coffin containing the little girl. His little girl finally didn't grow up, and he was the only one left behind.
