Chapter 38: Death in a Substitute Place
Tao Ran sat on the beauty leaning in the pavilion with his head down, looking at a place in a daze.
Although he was sitting, in fact, he couldn't touch this beauty. He just floated lightly in the mist behind him, looking preoccupied.
"Tao Ran!"
The sound of Yun's milky voice sounded, which made the young man's originally tightly knit brow stretch instantly, and he almost stood up with some excitement, and curled the corners of his mouth to look at the little girl who ran towards him.
"Excuse, you're here! I haven't seen you in days. Quick, come with me, I accidentally scared away a boatman the other day, and he left the boat here, will you row? I thoughtβ"
"Tao Ran. β
The cloud froze in place, his voice already crying.
Tao Ran's smile gradually disappeared on his face, he looked at Yun Xian with his delicate eyes, and laughed again: "What's wrong, what's going on?"
"I can't play with you anymore. β
Yun casually said this, and reached out to touch the tears on his face. No one knows how sad she was when she said this, it was like someone had gouged out a piece of her heart, empty.
Tao Ran looked at her inexplicably: "Why? Are you leaving? Where are you going?"
Yun casually didn't answer, she raised her head and glanced at Tao Ran with teary eyes, not daring to continue the next words.
Outside the pavilion was gloomy, and it was drizzling again. Tao Ran took two steps back and forth, and the mist behind him gradually spread with his movements.
"Oh, I see, you told me that your master is a Taoist priest, because I'm a ghost, and your master won't let you play with me?"
His last few words already carried a little anger, and Yun casually and anxiously defended: "No, I will tell the master, he is very powerful, he will definitely be able to reincarnate you......"
Tao Ran frowned, but laughed instead: "So you want to urge me to reincarnate quickly? Your master is a Taoist priest, and he doesn't accept me, but wants to help me, this is just a joke! Yun is casual, you really can't lie." β
His hands hung down at his sides, trembling slightly: "Do you know how cold it is in this water? It's as cold as the snow that spreads all over the mountains here in winter." Now it's hard to find someone willing to be my friend, and make me feel like I'm still alive in the world, but now you're telling me that people and ghosts have different paths?"
He suddenly stepped forward and looked at Yun Xian: "Then your master should have told you how I want to be reincarnated, right? I have been here for three years, at least a thousand people and thousands of boats have sailed every year, and I have not harmed a single human life, but you asked your master to tell me why?
Tao Ran began to tremble, he took a deep breath to try to calm himself, but a tear crossed his face, fell in midair, and dispersed like smoke. At the same time, his figure seemed to become more transparent, as if it was about to dissipate with the mist.
"Don't cry! Don't cry!" Yun casually felt that his thoughts were in a mess, and he finally found the most important thing from them, so he shouted anxiously: "Don't burn your own soul!"
"I was looking for death in the first place, and now I want to live, do you think I'm ridiculous?"
Although Yun Xian was just a child, she still remembered the overwhelming fear and sadness in her heart when she and Tao Ran were psychic that day. It seems that she also understands that no matter how hard she tries, the result is the same. The man who sat on the throne that day was like a mountain of pressure, and all the struggles were in vain.
She was afraid that Tao Ran would shed tears, so she groped in her palm for a long time and found an incense burner and three incense sticks. She took out all the things and put them in front of Tao Ran, and inserted the burning incense into the incense burner.
"What are you doing, what are you doing?" Tao Ran took a half step back in surprise: "Are you incense on me?"
Yun casually seemed to feel that something was wrong, she pulled out the incense again, took it in her hand and bowed to Tao Ran, and then inserted it back.
"You!" Tao Ran laughed angrily at her.
"I don't want you to cry, hurry up and smoke some incense. Yun casually looked cautious, just looking at Tao Ran with her big eyes.
Tao Ran looked at Yun's casual eyes and said softly, "I really treat you as my friend." β
He turned slowly, looking a little lonely.
"Then I'll never see you again. β
He sighed, took a step forward, turned back to Yun casually, and said, "We'll never see each other again, right?"
Tao Ran's heart, which had not been beating for a long time, seemed to be soaked in vinegar at this time, sour and swollen. He pursed his lips and smiled casually at Yun.
"Jingle bell, jingle bell!" The bell in Yun Casual's hand suddenly rang rapidly, she seemed to be shocked, and raised her head in shock, but at this moment, a stream of water suddenly rolled out of the water and covered her into the water.
She watched as her face got closer and closer to the water, and then she was gone. She wanted to say something, who she wanted to call, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and the rushing water poured into her nose, ear and mouth, and she felt as if her lungs were about to burn.
Tao Ran stood on the water and looked at her quietly. He always talked a lot, and it seemed that he had never been so quiet. In fact, her eyes were almost soaked in water, and looking through the distorted water, Tao Ran stood softly, and he even looked like he had a little smile on the corner of his mouth.
Snow all over the mountains......
Yun thought casually and unconsciously, her hands and feet fluttering wildly in the water. Something wrapped around her ankle and pulled her deeper. Now she's getting farther and farther from the shore.
Help, help......
Do you feel the same pain as I do now? I would have liked to let you go......
Why, and why......
A splash swept over her and engulfed her head. On the surface of the mist-filled river, there is occasionally a small ripple.
