Chapter 296: The World Left in the Painting
Luo Shi looked forward and saw a little shadow of the city wall, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Xu, is that the city wall?"
Xu Mo said: "This is the world in the painting, and the time is ancient, but it has nothing to do with the ancient in reality." ”
Luo Shi let out an 'oh', looked around, and continued, "It looks like it's real." ”
Xu Mo smiled: "If you feel it is true, it is true, and if you think it is fake, it is false." At least the people in this painting never think that the world they live in is fake. There is a more real one, let's walk over and know when we get to the city, the life of the people here is no different from reality, the same clothes and food, even the food, the species of animals and plants, are the same. ”
Luo Shi lowered her head and was silent, obviously thinking, not knowing what she was thinking.
The two of them came out of this field and followed a path in the direction of the city. The city was built on the mountain, it looked quite close, and when it really walked, there were actually one or twenty miles away, and the two of them walked for more than two hours before they reached the edge of the city.
Luo Shi has been a parrot for three years, and at this time she entered the picture, turned into a human body, and walked on her legs, but she felt very unaccustomed, and Xu Mo had to reach out to help, so she walked even slower.
Seeing that they could see the edge of the city, the two entered the city. Xu Mo had already prepared some medicines, found a rich man in the city and sold them, and got a few hundred taels of silver.
At the moment, he found an inn, Xu Mo asked someone, this city is in the north, not too far from the capital, but it also looks like seven or eight hundred miles. Horses are not readily available in small cities. Xu Mo bought a donkey and a mule at the market, and planned to stop the next day.
It didn't take long for Luo Shi to walk into his room again, "Brother Xu, I want to go to the market to have a look." ”
"The first time you came in, do you feel curious?" Xu Mo smiled, "It's okay, I'll accompany you out for a walk." ”
The two went to the street, and the day was not a fair. Only a few of the widest streets are hawked. Rosse was able to become an adult. The feeling of seeing things is different from when I was a parrot. But she just looked at the streets of the town, the pedestrians on the road, and the vendors along the way, and remained silent.
Xu Mo also felt that something was not quite right in her mood, but he couldn't guess what she was thinking, and he didn't ask much.
It's been a journey. I can see the end of a street. Further on, there is the city wall. Luo Shi suddenly stopped, "Brother Xu, what you said is good." Although this is the world in the painting, it looks no different from reality. These people, animals, plants, everything looks real. ”
Xu Mo frowned, not knowing why she suddenly spoke, and asked, "Luo Shi, what do you want to say?"
Luo Shi's expression suddenly became serious, "Brother Xu, you said, if you stay in this painting for the rest of your life, can you do it?"
Xu Mo was taken aback, "Do you want to stay in this painting?"
"Alas!" Luo Shi let out a long sigh, this sigh contained endless sadness, a few tears involuntarily slipped from the corners of her eyes, she didn't stretch out her hand to wipe it, she glanced at Xu Mo, her face showed a look of memory, touching the past, and her voice couldn't help but carry a little sadness, "Brother Xu, I still remember a few years ago, on that day, I listened to the words of the old man in the bamboo forest, and I wanted to go to No. 13 Qiuxia Road to find Qingqiujun." ”
When Xu Mo heard this, he was also reminded of the past, and his heart moved, and he was about to speak. Luo Shi suddenly reached out and pressed it on his lips, and said softly: "Brother Xu, don't talk yet, listen to me finish speaking." ”
Xu Mo nodded, and then felt a hot palm, Luo Shi reached out to hold his hand, and said softly: "I don't read much, I'm young, and I don't know if I'm in someone else's place." I met you just in that bus. Brother Xu, I asked you for directions that day, do you remember?"
Xu Mo recalled the past, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face, that time was the most painful period of his life, even if he wanted to forget, he couldn't forget it. He didn't know where the road was, and his eyes were blank, but fortunately he was accompanied by Xiaoqing, so he got through the most difficult time. He nodded his head.
A tear slipped from the corner of Luo Shi's eyes again, but a smile appeared on her face, and she said with a smile: "Brother Xu, what did you ask me to do that day?"
"yes. Xu Mo added: "You asked me if I believe in fortune telling?"
Luo Shi continued: "I remember everything that happened during that time. At that time, Brother Xu, you told me that if you can calculate accurately, you will believe it, and if you can't calculate it, you won't believe it, but you don't believe that fortune telling can calculate people's fate, and you also mentioned the butterfly effect. ”
Xu Mo nodded, recalling the scene of that day.
But when she heard it, she said, "I told you about me." Brother Xu, when you heard this, you persuaded me not to go. At that time, I was young, I didn't know what to do, and I was deceived by someone's design, so I didn't believe you. ”
Xu Mo smiled: "But in the end, you were still scared by what I said, and turned back to me for help." ”
Luo Shi sighed: "At No. 13 Qiuxia Road, I met Qingqiujun, and he asked me to go to the mountains. When I saw him at that time, I thought he was really a fox fairy, but later, I learned that he, like me, had been injected with genetic drugs, and he was originally just a person. ”
"Alas!," said this, with another long sigh, "at last I went deep into the mountains, and they caught me and became a parrot. ”
Apparently remembered something terrible. When Xu Mo heard her say this, he felt the other party's palm trembling slightly in his palm, and couldn't help but hold the other party's hand with his backhand.
But Hearing Lotte continue: "Growing up, my sister and I have always lived together. and when they entered the city, they were not separated. Later, my sister found a boyfriend, I didn't like it, and said a few words about her, my sister retorted to me and told me to leave her alone, so the two of us quarreled, and finally I moved out in a rage. ”
Her voice was not loud, and every word was very clear, "Mom died early, and Dad raised us sisters alone, so I always feel that I shouldn't fall in love so early." Alas, it's also a bit selfish, after my sister found a boyfriend. They rarely stay with me. My sister and I have been together since we were children, and we always do everything together, and at that time she found a boyfriend, and I was with her boyfriend every day, leaving me alone, and I didn't feel comfortable doing anything, and I thought, maybe that's why I quarreled with her. ”
Xu Mo listened to her suddenly talk about the private affairs between sisters, and she was a little inexplicable.
Luo Shi glanced at him, tears welling up in her eyes. His expression was a little shy. There was some joy again, "I met you that day, Brother Xu, you are several years older than me." In the car. And he kept persuading me like that. I've been without a mother since I was a child, and few people care about me as much as you do, not to mention that I'm angry with my sister. Brother Xu. When you talked to me like that, although I didn't listen to you, I ...... in my heart ...... in my heart" Speaking of this, my expression suddenly changed for a while, and I suddenly lowered my head. After a while, she raised her head, glanced at Xu Mo, her eyes lowered, and then she was able to continue, "I still like it very much." ”
At this point, the voice became quieter. Xu Mo felt the heat emanating from her palm, and only heard her continue: "Later, I left the phone to you. Actually, Brother Xu, when I go back to my residence, I really want you to call me, if you persuade me a few more times, maybe I won't go. ”
Xu Mo heard her say this, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. During that time, he couldn't protect himself, he really didn't have the heart to meddle with other people's affairs, and although he had a girlfriend, he didn't have much emotional experience, so it was impossible to guess that a girl's mind was so complicated.
Luo Shi said as she spoke, tears couldn't stop flowing again, she lowered her head, let the tears drop on the streets of the world in this painting, and whispered: "Later, I was caught by them, and the first one called you." Brother Xu, I know, although we just met, you will definitely help me. Speaking of this, she suddenly approached and kissed Xu Mo lightly on the lips.
Xu Mo only felt a softness on his lips, and before he could react, Luo Shi had already retreated and lowered his head again. Then he said, "After I became a parrot, I ran away and fled to my sister. I became a parrot and didn't dare to let my sister know, and only dared to talk to her when she was asleep. My sister thought I was dreaming with her. ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly cried bitterly, "But it is precisely because of this that I hurt my sister." She held Xu Mo's hand tightly, but her body couldn't stop trembling, and for a while, sadness, remorse, pain, and all kinds of emotions came to her heart at the same time, and she said while sobbing: "If I could have told her earlier, how could she have an accident? It's all my fault, I hurt my sister, she is bent on finding me, but I am obviously in front of her, but I dare not tell her the truth." ”
"Then it's no wonder that you, whoever you are, turn into a parrot, and don't dare to let people know. Seeing her crying sadly, Xu Mo couldn't help but comfort her, and at the same time reached out and took her in his arms.
Luo Shi fell on his shoulder, crying even more sadly.
Xu Mo didn't know how to comfort her, so he patted her lightly on the back.
Luo Shi cried for a long time, and then gradually stopped, got up from Xu Mo's arms, stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, glanced at Xu Mo with hazy teary eyes, and continued: "But I didn't expect that Brother Xu, after my sister had news from me that time, she actually called you too." I don't know what she thinks, my sister and I don't have any friends in this city. After I moved out, she had a fight with her boyfriend and broke up soon after. My sister called you on the phone, probably ...... Possible...... She thinks you and I ......" Speaking of this, she glanced at Xu Mo again and stopped continuing.
After a while, I heard Luo Shi say: "My sister took you back to her residence, and when I saw you, I was really surprised, and at the same time I was indescribably moved." Brother Xu, I never thought that we had only met once, and after half a year, you would still take care of my business. ”
She looked at Xu Mo, and her eyes suddenly lit up with joy.
Xu Mo and her eyes touched, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, the reason why he received a call from Luo Ci that time and rushed over was largely because of Xiao Man. But whether there are factors mixed with Luo Shi in it, he is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, in fact, there are many decisions, and I can't say very clearly what the purpose is.
But listening to Luo Shi continued, "Later, in Dongshan Temple, before the accident, I flew away in advance, and after tossing and turning, I fell into the hands of the boss surnamed Zhu, and it turned out that you came to save me. ”
Speaking of this, she suddenly leaned in front of Xu Mo. Gently attached to his arms, closed his eyes, and his voice became softer, "Brother Xu, I don't know what happened to you, doing so many magical things, but I'm really happy for you." ”
Xu Mo gently hugged her, remembered the past, and sighed again, "It's a long story." ”
Luo Shi continued to speak to herself. "The time when I became a parrot. Every day, I am afraid that I will encounter cats, dogs, and eagles, and I will be caught in my mouth. The real world is so scary, I'm tired of it all. Even hope has long been abandoned. I just hope to die in peace. Until that day. You saved me. Brother Xu, now you have taken me to the world in this painting, this world. It's the same as the real thing, but compared to the real world, it makes me feel a kind of stability that I have never felt before. ”
"Brother Xu, I don't want to go back, the real world is too terrible, I have experienced so many tribulations, I just want to find a place to settle down and spend the rest of the rest quietly. Brother Xu, you say, I want to stay in this painting, can I do it?"
Xu Mo hesitated: "It's just ...... This is in the painting. ”
Luo Shi chuckled: "Brother Xu, you also said just now, you feel that it is true, it is true, it feels that it is fake, it is fake." Now, in my senses, it's real. ”
Xu Mo sighed, thought for a moment, and then said, "But your body is still outside." ”
Luo Shi said: "Brother Xu, it was not my body for a long time, it was the body of a parrot, and now this one is my body, a flesh and blood, who can speak, laugh, walk and run, and is the body of a person who can't fly." Brother Xu, you have helped me many times, and now I beg you, you can help me again and keep me in this painting, okay?"
When Xu Mo heard her say this, his heart couldn't help but soften, besides, Luo Shi was really pitiful with the body of a parrot. Although the transformation pool of the Mangdang Mountain can transform animals, but now that Luo Shi has followed her into the picture, it is a human body, how can the water of the transformation pool be used for her? Not to mention that even if it is useful, how can the water in this painting be brought out?
Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh, "I don't know if I can help you stay in the painting, but now, your consciousness is still connected to your body, once something happens, your consciousness will still return to your body, and it will be a little difficult to stay in the picture completely." ”
Luo Shi didn't seem to understand it, frowned, and continued: "Brother Xu, what you said is a bit complicated, I didn't understand it for a while, can you be more careful?"
Xu Mo sorted out his rhetoric for a while, and then said: "Consciousness is what is commonly referred to as the soul, your soul, and it is still in your body. Now the reason why you feel like you are in the painting is only because you are well informed about the world in the painting, and once something happens, it is like a dream, and the soul will return to your body, that is, you will wake up from the dream. ”
Luo Shi thought for a long time and muttered, "In this way, if you want to stay in the picture, you must first separate the body and soul, but how can you separate the soul from the body?"
Xu Mo looked back at her and didn't speak.
As soon as Luo Shi said this, he immediately knew that he had asked a very stupid question, how can the soul be separated from the body? Of course, it is only after death that the soul and the body are separated.
She hesitated for a long time, looking at the expression on her face, she was obviously struggling, and she couldn't make up her mind. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Brother Xu, I beg you for one thing." ”
Xu Mo asked incomprehensibly, "What's the matter?"
Luo Shi's words were like lightning in the dark night, and as soon as she said it, it was a shock, "Kill me." ”
"What?" Xu Mo was taken aback and hurriedly persuaded, "Don't think about it, there will always be a way." ”
Luo Shi leaned in and kissed him on the lips again, she blinked, her long eyelashes couldn't help fluttering, "Brother Xu, what I told you just now is all true." The outside world is terrible, my sister died, without our sisters, my father was sad and went last year. Now the whole outside world, I have nothing to be nostalgic about except you. Brother Xu, what's the good of being a parrot outside? If I stay in the painting, one day you miss me, come in and see me. Isn't it great?"
"It's just ......" Xu Mo's heart was still full of worry, "After you die, you may really die, and your soul may not necessarily be able to enter the picture." ”
Luo Shi had a satisfied smile on her face, "Isn't that great? Speaking of this, he glanced at Xu Mo and looked him in the eyes, "Brother Xu, before I die, I beg you for one thing." ”
Xu Mo was also a little sad by what she said, and continued: "You say." ”
Luo Shi closed her eyes lightly and said softly, "Brother Xu, you kiss me." I've never been kissed by a man since I've grown so big, and now, I'm probably going to die. Before you die, will you kiss me?"
Xu Mo said no more, stretched out his hands, hugged her in his arms, and then kissed her on the lips.
Luo Shi touched his lips, and couldn't help but tremble all over, under her emotional agitation, although she had the courage to kiss Xu Mo twice, after all, it was a touch, and she didn't feel anything. At this time, Xu Mo hugged and kissed, and his heart was empty and confused for a while. She closed her eyes, tears streaming uncontrollably, and her eyes were wet.
After she turned into a parrot, she spent her days in misery, hiding and hiding, without a moment of stability.
At this time, he was kissed by Xu Mo, and after the agitation, what he felt was stability and satisfaction, and he seemed to have no regrets. At the same time, consciousness is gradually weakening.
Just as that day, before Xu Mocheng breathed quietly, in despair, his consciousness left his body, Luo Shi was in extreme calm, and death came by itself. (To be continued......)
