Chapter 60: Death
After Dingxi left Lanfu, he had nowhere to go, and he never thought that he had fallen to such a point. Anyway, Lan Mansion is not a place for him to stay for a long time.
What kind of hero is he in Helian City, how can there be a hero who is homeless?
"That's right, I'm not far from my previous era, and I will definitely be able to find the old Lei family!"
He was a little excited, maybe he would be able to see his grandfather as a child when he looked for it.
But he stood on the hill and looked at the desert in the distance, and then turned to look at the grassland behind him, where is home?
Why can't he remember the way home?
"Why can't I even remember the way home?"
He smiled helplessly, turned around and walked towards Helian City.
He was going to buy some food and go to Helian Village to live for a while, during which he could practice with peace of mind and plan for the future.
Helian City gradually returned to its former bustle, and there were children playing on the streets.
He watched the children chase and fight in the streets, and his bad mood was swept away. What is happiness? Isn't it the smile of childhood?
It's a pity that he can't go back to that era of innocence, so he can only move forward with a heavy load, and he can't see the road ahead after walking alone.
He touched his pocket, and with some money, he walked over to the vendor to buy something to eat.
The merchant recognized him at a glance, for he was a great hero, and he rode a great horse that day.
"Lei Dingxi, are you Lei Dingxi?"
The vendor couldn't hide his excitement, and his eyes were full of adoration.
"Yes!"
Dingxi echoed calmly.
"Come and see, everyone, he is Lei Dingxi, the big hero of our Helian City!"
The vendors ran into the middle of the street and shouted loudly.
It didn't matter if he shouted, but it scared Dingxi. He's not a big hero at all, and if there are more onlookers later, he really won't be able to leave.
When he turned around to leave, he was intercepted by a few aunts who were joining in the fun.
"Young hero, really handsome and chic, magnificent!"
The fat aunt came over and grabbed his arm, her eyes wandering over his face as if looking for something.
In an instant, the people surrounded Dingxi, and they looked at him like monkeys.
"Hero, tell me how you beat the youkai away!"
The vendors shouted in the crowd.
"I, I—"
Dingxi's mind was blank, and Gu Qianmian was not driven away by him, how could he say this?
He looked up at the crowd and felt like the world was spinning. He couldn't see them clearly, let alone hear what they were saying.
He closed his eyes and wanted to calm down for a while, because he didn't want to be a hypocrite.
The crowd was still noisy, and he didn't hear a word of their chatter.
After a while, he plucked up the courage to say to everyone: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet!"
The chatter gradually decreases, and it is best to become unusually quiet. People all looked at Dingxi to see what he had to say.
They waited for the big hero to tell his heroic story, because Helian City had not produced a hero for a long time, so their after-dinner conversation was a story from decades ago.
"I'm sorry, I'm not a big hero, and I didn't fight monsters!"
After he finished speaking, there was silence at first, and the silence was so silent that even his breath froze.
After about three seconds, the crowd suddenly began to make noise again.
"How is that possible!"
"That's it, hero, don't tease us, Lan has taken you to parade, and the whole desert knows that you are a big hero!"
"yes, who else can you have?"
......
Everyone didn't believe it, and they didn't want to believe that he wasn't a hero.
"The youkai really didn't me drive away, you see that I'm so thin, how can I be the opponent of the youkai?"
Dingxi looked at everyone with a sincere face, he didn't want to lie to everyone anymore, and he didn't want to be condemned by his heart anymore.
"You really didn't chase away the youkai?"
Seeing that Dingxi was so sincere, the fat aunt tried to ask.
"It's not me!"
As soon as Dingxi finished speaking, he saw that everyone's eyes changed when they looked at him.
In an instant, the people around him scattered, and when they left, they exchanged scolding.
"Liar, it's not the monster you chased away, what kind of hero is it?"
However, Dingxi didn't mind this, he was finally relieved. Although it felt good to be surrounded by people that day, the inner torment made him even more sad.
"Boss, wrap these two hams for me!"
Dingxi walked to the opposite side of the vendor just now, pointed to the smoked ham and said.
"The liar goes, my ham won't be sold to the liar!"
The vendor said as he lowered his head and fanned the flies above the man.
"Who's a liar?"
Dingxi yelled at the vendor.
"I'll just say you, liar, liar!"
The vendor raised his head, glared wide-eyed and shouted.
"You—"
Dingxi was so angry that he couldn't speak, he never said that he was a hero, how could he become a liar?
Xiao Ge has been watching him secretly, she feels very sorry for him, and she also wants to go over and talk to him, but he is still angry, and going will only make him unhappy.
"Xi'er!"
She stared at Dingxi and said to Xi'er.
"Miss!"
"You send the food in the package to Brother Xi, but don't say that I sent it!"
"Yes!"
Xi'er ran over with her package.
"Lei Gongzi. ”
Xi'er said as she stood behind Dingxi.
As soon as Dingxi turned around and found that it was Xi'er, he thought it was Xiao Ge who was also coming, so he raised his head and looked ahead.
Xiao Ge immediately retracted, she hid behind the wall, afraid that Dingxi would see her.
Dingxi saw that Xiao Ge didn't come, and he was a little disappointed.
Is she so ruthless? Can't she even reason with him? Although he minded that she lied to him, the affection between them was enough to offset her deception, right?
"Childe, when I saw that you left without anything, I brought you some food. ”
He didn't hear a word of what Xi'er said.
He kept staring, wishing that a lot of nonsense adults would jump out from behind the wall, but he looked at it for a long time, and the wall was unusually cold.
"Miss Xi'er, what did you say?"
Dingxi asked in amazement.
"You have these dry rations with you, and there is money in them. Evil in the rivers and lakes, take care of yourself!"
Xi'er stuffed the package into Dingxi's hand and turned around and ran.
"Hi—"
Dingxi didn't figure out what was going on, she ran away, forget it, what else do you have to figure out, Xiao Ge doesn't even want to see him, what else can he do?
He looked at the cold wall, and the last bit of hope in his heart was shattered.
"Goodbye Helian City!"
He smiled helplessly and turned to leave.
Xiao Ge grabbed the corner of the wall and quietly looked at the figure of Dingxi in the distance, her heart was about to break.
She loved him so much, she once thought that it was enough to love someone well, and she never thought about so many problems. But why do you have to suffer so much if you love someone? Aren't they good? How can they be strangers when they fight and rejoice in their enemies?
"Brother Dingxi, I will look for you soon, no matter the ends of the world, I will find you!"
Xiao Ge turned around and went back in tears, she was a girl after all, and she still couldn't bear it in the face of her lover's departure.
Dingxi stopped again, he looked back again, but there was still no Xiao Ge.
"Xiao Ge, are we destined to have no part after all?"
He picked up the package and walked like Helian Village.
Helian Village was in ruins, and he cleaned up for a whole afternoon, but the sadness in his heart was difficult to calm down.
He opened the package, took out the pancakes inside, and ate them.
The night was hazy, and there was no noise from Xiao Ge in his ears, but he couldn't sleep.
The moon is very high, it seems very cold, even though the stars hold the moon, but the loneliness is still there.
He suddenly remembered that there was a painting in the box behind the bed, and the person on it was Lan Xiaoge.
He hurried to rummage through the box, but couldn't find where the painting had gone.
"Lei Dingxi, what's wrong with you? Don't you hate her? She rings in your ears like a fly all day long, why do you still think about her?"
He crouched on the ground, feeling like he had lost something. Does he really like Lan Xiaoge? But he likes the past, and he still says what about her now?
"Lan Xiaoge, Lao Tzu likes you, Lao Tzu likes you!"
Dingxi has never felt this way. Weak, frightened, irritable, wanting to cry without tears, he just wants to do something, but he doesn't know what to do.
Xiao Ge seemed to be much calmer, and after she went back, she seemed to be the same as usual, and returned to the room after eating, sitting alone on the chair in a daze.
It wasn't until the moon climbed up that she realized it was dark and went to bed.
But the night was too long, and she couldn't sleep for a long time. She wanted to go to Brother Dingxi now, immediately, immediately. She wouldn't have gone crazy if she saw Dingxi.
"Xi'er, Xi'er......"
She got up from her bed like crazy and screamed.
After a while, Xi'er came from the next room in a daze.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
"Go to Lei Dingxi now, you and I will go to him now!"
"Oh!"
As soon as Xi'er finished answering, she felt that something was wrong, so she screamed and looked at Xiao Ge.
"Miss, what did you just say?"
"I said I'm going to find Lei Dingxi now!"
"But what time is it, and even if you don't sleep, the horses will sleep!"
Xi'er yawned and was about to go back to sleep, but was stopped by Xiao Ge at the moment of turning around.
"I have to go now, if I don't go to him, I'll die, I'll die!"
"But can't we wait until tomorrow morning?"
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, just go now!"
After Xiao Ge finished speaking, he went towards Ma Fang.
"What kind of sin is this?"
Xi'er said helplessly while crawling over.
I don't know if the horses are tired or the people are too tired, they can't run fast at all.
"Miss, do you know where Lei Gongzi is?"
"Of course I know, he must be in Helian Village. ”
"At the speed of a horse, you won't be able to reach it until tomorrow night!"
"Then let's go!"
Xiao Ge jumped off his horse and began to walk to Helian City.
......
"Xiao Ge, although the moon is a little cold tonight, it is very beautiful, have you seen it? It is really beautiful!"
Dingxi took his eyes off the moon and walked to the bedside, but he didn't feel sleepy.
"Hey, sleep, if you fall asleep, your heart probably won't be so uncomfortable!"
He lay on the bed and closed his eyes, but his mind was full of the appearance of Xiao Ge.
"Lan Xiaoge, you are really haunted......"
Dingxi sat up and looked at the moonlight in front of the window in a daze, forget it, he didn't sleep, he simply went to Wave Valley to enjoy the moonlight tonight.
