Chapter 57: Dreams
It means that at the last moment of death, people will always put aside the hypocrisy and disguise that they may have carried and express the most sincere things. Because people are always afraid of death, in the second before death, they will always think of the beautiful past scenes that happened around them in the past, and they will feel that death comes too quickly, and they are reluctant to lose the precious things they once had and what they have now.
The confluence of the sun and the moon indicates that the days pass and then begin again, and each new day may welcome the arrival of a new life, or it may say goodbye to the departure of a deceased life. No one knows what tomorrow will bring, and the only thing they can do is to try to cherish what they have until that new day arrives.
The sun is always warm, enveloping the small town of Phantom City, and it also warms everyone who lives here. If you can feel this warmth, it means that you are still alive, and in this river and lake full of killings, being alive is a thing worth celebrating. But at this moment, in the attic hall in the backyard of the Phantom Sound Pavilion, no one was glad that they were alive to see the rising sun, because there was still a person whose life and death were concerned about their hearts.
It's been half a month, and Wuxin still hasn't woken up. Lang Zhong had already treated his injuries for him, and he had also taken the elixir that Shangguan Yunjie had taken from Fengyun Castle, although he was temporarily out of his life, but as for whether he would wake up and when he would wake up, Lang Zhong could only shake his head gently.
No one knows if Wuxin will wake up, maybe he may really be sleeping like this, because his injuries are so bad, almost draining the blood in his body, plus he has not been treated in time, and now he is still alive, it is already the favor of God.
Tetsuo frowned, his eyes wandering around, not knowing what he should do, and his dry face looked a little haggard. In fact, he had already received a dispatch order from the headquarters of the Six Gates, asking him to return to Beijing immediately, but he didn't leave, because the unintentional thing was the most important thing for him now, so he let the remaining subordinate rush back to the capital with the subordinate who died in battle and the handwritten letter he wrote to the president of the Six Gates, and he and Tie Feiyun stayed in the Phantom City.
Looking at Nangong Chu and Shangguan Yunjie who were sitting in the hall like himself, Tie Xiong was actually happy to have no intention of rushing there, because to be able to make such a group of friends who are heart-to-heart, life and death together, in this deceitful rivers and lakes, it is worth being happy and worth cherishing for a lifetime. I think that back then, I had such a relationship with my deceased junior brother, but time has passed, and I think things are wrong.
Thinking of this, Tie Xiong couldn't help but glance at the staircase leading to the second floor, thinking of Ruyi, who had been taking care of Wuxin all these days, and the corners of his mouth finally showed a faint smile. He could see that the girl, who was full of reproach at first, was actually more worried about Wuxin than everyone present, and this could not help but make him happy for Wuxin.
What's more, although that girl is young, she is already the most powerful disciple under the Furong Hall, and she is in charge of the Phantom Sound Pavilion, a branch of the Furong Hall, which is enough to prove that this girl is excellent, and with someone like her by Wuxin's side, Tie Xiong is relieved.
Tie Xiong glanced at his son, who was sitting on the side and didn't say a word, and nodded silently, his son changed, became calm, and was no longer so sharp. It seems that after following him these days and going through those things firsthand, he has finally become mature, which is a good thing for him.
Tie Xiong thought in his heart that if his son could catch up with half of his nephew who was still unconscious one day in the future, then he would really be relieved. The rivers and lakes are so big, there are no surprises, even if they are as strong as a master like Wuxin, there are times when the horse stumbles, let alone his own son who has not undergone any baptism. You must know that in this unfathomable world, arrogant self-confidence often invites unnecessary killing for yourself.
The days always have to pass day by day, the road always has to go step by step, what should come will come after all, and what should be experienced will be experienced after all. As for what the future holds, everyone has their own different creation.
In a room on the second floor, Ruyi sat quietly on the edge of the bed, holding a towel that had just been soaked in warm water, wiping the sweat on his face for Wuxin, his eyes were red, and his face was haggard. She has been with the bedside for half a month day and night, she has hardly slept in this half month, and has been taking care of Wuxin every step of the way, and she doesn't want to eat.
During this period, everyone also worked together to persuade her, for fear that she would exhaust herself before she woke up, but she politely declined. Because now her whole heart is unintentional, if she lets Wuxin leave her sight, then she will really collapse, and now Wuxin is her only hope. Because she didn't know if she would have the courage to step in again when she stepped out of this room, she was afraid that when she stepped in again, she would be faced with an eternal goodbye, and she would not even have time to say goodbye.
If something happens to this person, the whole world will collapse, and there will be no hope. People who are deeply affectionate often live without themselves. Ruyi and Wuxin are such people, and love, for them, is the most important thing in life.
Ruyi has listened to her senior brother talk about what has happened these days, including Wuxin's life experience, she finally understands Wuxin's past that has never been mentioned, and while feeling distressed about Wuxin, she seems to understand a little bit why Wuxin has been unwilling to accept herself. But knowing Wuxin's past, it made her want to be with Wuxin even more, she wanted to heal the wounds left by Wuxin through herself, as for what Wuxin looked like, it wasn't what she cared about.
Time passed little by little, the days alternated day by day, and half a month passed, and he still didn't wake up, as if he would never wake up, and the only thing that could prove that he was still alive was his faint almost non-existent breathing.
Tetsuo finally left when the sixth door issued the fifth dispatch order, because if he didn't go back, it wouldn't be just a dispatch order. Before leaving, he specially told Shangguan Yunjie and the others that if Wuxin woke up before he came next time, let Wuxin go to the capital to find him after he was injured, he had important things to give to Wuxin.
During this period, I also encountered several assassinations by people of unknown origin, but with the cooperation of Fengyun Castle and Phantom Sound Pavilion, coupled with the presence of Nangong Chu and Shangguan Yunjie, it was finally a false alarm, and the enemy did not step into Phantom Sound Pavilion. Although the origin of these people is unknown, everyone knows that nine times out of ten they are inseparable from Red Feather.
The sun still sets and rises as usual, and the people of Phantom City are living their own lives as usual, and this world will not change its original trajectory because of the life and death of a certain person.
Under the sunset, a pair of boys and girls competed and frolicked in a field of flowers and plants, and a faint mist shrouded in this place of birds and flowers, making it impossible to see the faces of these two boys and girls. I only know that they are happy at the moment, because in addition to the sound of birds chirping from time to time around them, it is their laughter.
The colorful flowers all over the mountains are like colorful carpets, which are trampled under their feet, leaving a series of messy footprints. The two men and women who fell in love in the eyes of outsiders kept running, feeling the joy of this holy place made in heaven.
"Xiao Ru, don't you think this flower is beautiful?" the boy gently plucked an unusually bright flower from the flowers, and shouted quickly after the girl, with a happy smile on his face.
The girl didn't stop, she turned around and said, "Liar, do you want to take advantage of other people's inattention?" The boy had already deceived the girl by his side in various ways, and kissed the girl while she was not paying attention.
"No, it's true, I don't believe it!" the boy shook his head vigorously, and as he chased, he raised his hand and motioned for the girl to look into his hand.
The girl stopped suspiciously and watched the boy come towards her with wariness. When the boy approached, she also saw the flower in the boy's hand, it was indeed a beautiful flower, although she couldn't name it, but she was instantly attracted by the bright color and faint fragrance.
"For you. The boy stretched out his hand and gently put it on the girl's head, looking at the girl with the flower with satisfaction, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Tian, will you always be so good to me, always by my side?" the girl glanced at the boy shyly, lowered her head and whispered, her cheeks already flushed instantly.
The boy smiled and said loudly, "Of course, I will always be by your side." He looked innocent and cute, and his cheeks were a little rosy, and the boy was even shy.
"Will you protect me, then?" the girl asked, looking up and continuing with a happy smile on her face.
"Well, I will let others bully you and protect you for the rest of my life. The boy nodded heavily, as if he had made a heavy vow in his heart.
The girl smiled, laughing more happily than before. The two of them looked at each other, full of happiness. The boy leaned his face slightly, his limbs stiffening slightly. The girl watched the boy swallow nervously, snickered, slowly closed her eyes, and raised her chin slightly.
When the boy saw the girl's appearance, his heart blossomed, and he became more bold, and pouted and kissed the girl's cherry-like rosy lips, but was suddenly pushed by the girl again.
"I know you have bad intentions, huh!" the girl said coquettishly, glaring at the boy with a pretending to complain, looking very cute. The boy was also made to laugh and cry by the girl's transformation, and then he realized that he had been fooled.
"I still want this flower, pick me a few more, and I'm going to take it home. The girl covered her mouth and chuckled, she deliberately teased the boy, she knew that the boy really wanted to kiss her again.
The boy nodded, and walked dejectedly to the place where he had just picked the flowers, muttering to himself, not knowing what he was talking about, perhaps complaining that he had not succeeded just now.
"Remember to pick a few more. ”
Behind him came the girl's shouts and snickering after "the trick succeeded", and the boy reluctantly found the place where he had just picked the flowers, bent down and began to pick, but he always felt a little depressed. While picking flowers that had not been trampled on by them, he said a little unhappily: "If you dare to tease me again, I'll leave you here and leave you alone, you know?" After saying that, he deliberately pretended to be true and snorted coldly, but after waiting for a while, he didn't hear the girl's response. I couldn't help but look behind me, but I couldn't see the girl anymore.
The boy was stunned for a moment, stood up, and shouted to the empty mountains: "Xiaoru, don't hide, come out, otherwise I'll go, I'm really gone." As he spoke, he pretended to walk down the mountain, observing the surroundings as he went, trying to find out where the girl was hiding.
But there was still no response, and there was no finding out where the girl was hiding, so the boy continued to shout: "Xiaoru, don't make trouble, come out, I have picked the flowers, it is almost dark, we should go back." There was still no response waiting for him, and there was no sign of the girl.
The boy panicked and kept calling out the girl's name, apologizing for his actions and the "threat" he had just said, but there was still no response, and the girl seemed to have disappeared suddenly.
The boy ran frantically to where the girl had been standing, trying to find out where the girl was hiding. But when he ran to the place where the girl had been standing, he was dumbfounded, because he saw blood, a big puddle of blood, where the girl had been standing. The blood almost stained the flowers and plants on the ground and seeped into the soil, but there was no trace of the girl for a long time, and only the flower that he had put on the girl's head just now fell to the side.
The boy was scared and didn't know what was happening. He kept looking around, calling out the girl's name, but suddenly he saw that the originally colorful mountains and fields suddenly turned red, blood red, as if he was in a sea of blood. He started running, trying to get out of the blood-stained place. But no matter how much he ran, he could no longer run out of this originally flowery place, as if there was no end.
The boy was about to collapse, his mouth kept shouting the name of "Xiaoru", and he kept running in a panic, he didn't know where Xiaoru went, and he didn't know what happened, he only knew that he was very scared, and the steps under his feet became heavier and heavier, and in the end he couldn't move directly.
The boy didn't notice it, and his eyes began to slowly turn red, as if they were burned by fire, and his whole body was blazing. He opened his mouth wide, facing the boundless sea of blood, frantically shouting Xiao Ru's name, already hoarse.
And what awaits him is still a deathly silence......
"Ruyi!" a terrible scream came from the second-floor room in the backyard of the Phantom Sound Pavilion, constantly echoing in the ears of everyone who heard it......
