Chapter 54: The Man Who Is Not Afraid of Death
When I heard Qing'er say that she still couldn't sleep, I really had the heart to die, what kind of trouble was she doing......
I reluctantly let go of her hand, I let out a long breath and asked, "Qing'er, what's wrong with you, what are you afraid of?"
"I ......"
Eye-to-eye with me, I saw that she was about to speak, but when the words came to her lips and she swallowed again, her big charming eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What's the matter, is there anything unspeakable?"
Seeing her like this, I asked with some speculation. If there wasn't something that couldn't be revealed casually, she wouldn't be like this.
Unfortunately, my guess was wrong, and she shook her head and denied my claim, which made my heart even more helpless.
Since it's not something that can't be said, then you just say, what are you doing like this!
"Qing'er, can you tell me?"
I looked at her, hoping she understood how I was feeling right now. In the end, she didn't disappoint me either, biting her red lip and nodding at me.
"Brother Li, many people died along the way, they all died for me, I'm scared!"
Qing'er said this with great difficulty, and her body involuntarily curled up in a ball, very insecure. And her words indirectly broke a guess in my heart, the user of the prince's car should be Qing'er.
Although my thoughts are fluttering, I will put it in the back of my mind for the time being, and solve the problem of the girl in front of me first.
"So what?"
"So, I don't want to die anymore, and I don't want to go to Dragon's Head City...... I'm really scared...... I've never seen so many dead people......"
Her voice trembled, and I caught a weakness I had never felt before, and I don't know if I remembered the death of those people, and her huddled body began to tremble slightly.
"Whenever I close my eyes...... The faces of those people when they died will come to me one by one...... They died because of me...... You're going to hate me......"
I can't help but feel pity in my heart, on the way to Longshou City, she has been burdened with such psychological pressure.
Raising her hand and patting her fragrant shoulder, she was stunned, and then raised the head buried in front of her to look at me, her eyes were already hazy with tears.
I smiled at her and said, "Are you really scared!"
I saw tears glistening in her eyes, her arms hugged her body harder, and her red lips unconsciously became pale and extremely weak.
"I'm really scared...... They died because of me...... I'm scared...... I'm guilty......"
"I'm also afraid of my way to Dragon's Head City...... Will die too...... I don't want to get involved in this strife...... But I don't have a choice...... You can only ...... north."
At this point, after a pause, she smiled dismally at me and continued, "Am I cowardly...... Isn't it useless......"
When she asked me this, I was silent for a while, not knowing what words to say to her. Seeing this, the desolation in her beautiful eyes became even more abundant, like a person who has lost the last straw of the drowning man......
"I know I'm useless...... But...... I just hope that no one dies because of me again...... I'm also afraid of death...... I'm afraid when I'm going north...... Died for no apparent reason......"
Li Longchen ...... Do you see what I mean......"
For Qing'er, the pity in my heart is even greater. Although I don't know her true identity yet, I have a lot of speculations.
She is an important bargaining chip sandwiched between the two sides of the crown prince Shen Ming and the Qin emperor Shen Yu. Although her real identity must not be a singer, her heart is as fragile as a singer.
She didn't want to see someone die for her, a life would die in front of her, and she was afraid of death just like the people of Li.
Who is really not afraid of death?
He put a knife on my neck and asked me if I was afraid of death, and if I said I was not afraid of death, he would kill me immediately, and if I said I was afraid of death, he would let me go.
I must have said right away that I was afraid of death, not to live, but that I was really afraid of death! Unfortunately, more often than not, I had no choice but to face death!
When I fought with the big snake head, I was finally defeated by him, lying on the ground weakly, letting it slaughter, and at the moment when it was about to bite me, I was really scared!
I'm afraid I'll die, I'm afraid I'll never see Qingling, Wuchen, Yun'er, Jian'er, and the old man......
However, give me another chance to choose whether to go to Beilin to find Dugubo, I still choose to go.
It's not because I've overcome the fear of death, but because I'm shouldering the life and death of the little one, and the heavy responsibility given to me by the silver-haired king, the bloody bamboo, the starry sky, and the water of fate.
If I were to abandon this heavy responsibility, I would rather face death and fight for a life in this mortal situation.
It's not that I don't want to retreat, but I can't retreat, and if I take a step back, I have to give up the responsibility and hope that are heavier than death!
Qing'er's current mood, I can understand and deeply understand.
She must have had some responsibilities on her shoulders like me, and because of these responsibilities, she had to go north, even though she knew that the trip would be extremely difficult.
Unfortunately, she didn't make it to the end. Under the triple pressure of conscience, responsibility and fear, she collapsed and lost the confidence and courage to go north.
Although she didn't make it to the end, she had already traveled to Yecheng and walked half of the journey north.
If it were someone else, I am afraid that she would have been completely desperate in the first and second interceptions, but she has been persevering and carrying it to this point.
With a lot of emotion and pity in my heart, I lifted her jaw and made her face me, and said to her: "Fool, it is not your fault, and the one who died for your devotion will not blame you!"
"Is that so?"
There was a gleam in those teary eyes that made me difficult to understand, and she asked with red lips and a little disbelieving.
I smiled at her and said, "You know, I'm actually scared of death......
"No!"
As soon as I said the beginning, she pressed down on my palm holding her head and shook her head vigorously at me.
"Brother Li, when I met you in Tianxiang Tower, I knew that you were a fearless person!"
"Later, when I noticed you among the prince's staff, I was even more convinced. You are definitely a fearless person, otherwise how could you venture into danger alone and sneak into the dangerous Tianxiang Tower. ”
Hearing her swear so much, it seemed that even my own fears and sadness had been forgotten, and I could only smile wryly and shake my head.
I really didn't expect that in her heart, she would think so highly of me and see me as a fearless person!
"I want to follow you, Brother Li, just to know how to become as fearless as Brother Li!"
"Do you really think I'm not afraid?"
She nodded firmly at me, affirming my words. I could only smile bitterly again, she really thought so highly of me.
That being said, the way I looked at her didn't change a little. At this moment, she has removed all her disguises and exposed her truest side to me.
"Actually, I've been scared, and I've been scared more than once!"
"As early as I crossed the jungle that sealed the earthly world, I was terrified, afraid that I would accidentally die in the jungle and never have the chance to go back to see my master!"
"Because of this, I was so nervous when I walked through the jungle that I didn't get a good night's sleep until I got out of the jungle, my spirit was almost broken!"
Speaking of which, I couldn't help but laugh, and it was for this reason that I had my first intimate contact with Qingling in such a hurry.
When I slowly talked about these things, Qing'er's sadness and fear also stopped, and her beautiful eyes looked at me and listened to me quietly.
"When I was in Tianfu, I was almost killed by the Great Commander! At that time, Yun'er was no longer able to protect me, and when the sword that the Great Commander killed me was about to come down, I was terrified again!"
"I'm afraid of death, I'm afraid that I will stay in Tianfu forever, and I won't be able to complete the task assigned by my master, and I won't be able to fulfill my promise to Qingling. ”
"After that, I went to the city of Kongming, where I experienced the hardest fight of my life so far. The other party showed me a clear killing intent, in the face of the huge gap in strength, I could only give it a go, but I still failed miserably!"
"When the sword in the other party's hand is raised, my life hangs on the last line, and I am afraid again! Because I have more and more responsibilities on my shoulders, Qingling, Wuchen, Yun'er, Jian'er, and the old man ......"
"I'm really afraid that I'll be cut off like that, and I'll never have the opportunity to fulfill those wishes, and I'll never be able to stay with the people I love the most......"
"Just before I met you, I was almost bitten to death by a terrifying snake, just like you said, I was very angry, I was still scared, afraid of death, and even trembling all over my body!"
"I'm still alive despite all I've been through, and when I have to make another choice, whether to take risks or not, do you know how I'll choose?"
I deliberately led the words to her, hoping that she could understand something from them and not let herself be so miserable again.
She said to me with a solemn face: "If you were given another chance to choose, you would still choose to take risks, right?"
"That's right!"
I nodded in affirmation and asked, "Do you know why?"
This time she looked at me and shook her head, waiting for me to say something she didn't understand.
"Because, I have a heavy responsibility on my body! If I don't cross the jungle, I won't be able to fulfill Master's instructions; if I don't fight with the Great Commander, I won't be able to take Yun'er away from the place where Tianfu is fighting to the point of cannibalism; if I don't fight with the great enemy of Kongming City, I can't be sure of Wuchen's safety; if I don't fight with the Great Monster Snake, I won't be able to get the treasure to save the little guy!"
"I dare to face death, it's not that I'm not afraid of death, I'm in line with it, I'm afraid of death, I'm afraid that I will die, let the master down, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, let Qingling's love come to naught, so that Wuchen will never find my trace......"
"It's not that I don't want to retreat, it's that I really can't. If I retreat, someone who is very important to me will die; if I retreat, I will regret it in the future and regret it for life; if I retreat, I will definitely lose my heart and become a demon in my heart, and I will be trapped for the rest of my life!"
"I said so much, do you understand......
Finally, I asked her this, and she nodded her head in understanding. This reaction made me wonder what she meant.
