Chapter 192 The Finale

In the village by the lake 12 years ago, black charred corpses and stumps eaten by leopards were randomly thrown into the half-extinguished fire outside the village.

Floating above the brightly lit, eerie tall building, the leopards who searched for Yang Ji's traces in the dark woods wandered around here one by one with vicious eyes and seized the last time.

Being controlled by 'Nian', Gongsun Shou crazily devoured a large amount of fresh flesh and blood, and Gongsun Shou, who was turning into a black mist like a beast, was floating above Dongshan Mountain with blood red eyes.

And above his twisted and deformed head, the dazzlingly red moon, together with his hoarse and crazily roar, is also full of pressure and shrouds the top of the lake and mountain in the middle of the night.

【Haha... it's a fish... it's really a fish... eat them... eat them quickly...】

【Eat these fish quickly... and then burn this place... In this way, all the treasures here will be... ours...】

【The ancestors of the leopard people... have you seen it... the time for us Raksha people to return to land... is finally getting closer...】

This sound was like the horrible sound of evil spirits crawling out of the dark underground, and the ground under everyone's feet trembled slightly.

The white-haired 'old boy' who was burrowing in the depths of the snow-covered forest and baring his teeth in fear, and the rooster who silently watched the movement outside heard the words and just stood silently in front of the hidden grove. Don't even dare to move around.

And not far behind them, in the dark forest bathed by a piece of silvery river water, with a soft but pale face, Mrs. Yang Ji, who was embracing the baby Yang Hua, seemed to have heard the greedy and cruel Luo from above her at this moment. Stop people's search and approach step by step.

It's a pity, although for the time being they are still hiding safely in the forest surrounded by the river where the descendants of the fish have lived for generations.

But it won't take long at all, the leopard people with keen sense of smell and hearing are destined to find this place again following the smell of fish from Yang Ji's offspring, and repeat this tragic and unfortunate ending that belongs to her again and again.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Fish, who was dressed in red, with eyes as bright as a fish, and vermilion scales around her ears and cheeks, also covered her mouth and coughed uncomfortablely.

When she raised her head and looked in front of the frowning white-haired young man who had just come here with her but hadn't had time to say a word, Yang Ji lowered her eyes and spoke gently began to explain,

"As you can see... the scene above your head tonight is what I have shown you in the mirror again and again in a dream. The Raksha people captured our village and took the lives of countless descendants and fishes. It also imprisoned me in the high-rise buildings in Haishi from now on, and I can never return to Ruinian... But because at that time, you had just come to Dongshan from another world, and you didn't fully understand yourself as a mortal and the relationship between you and me. The special connection that exists in this world...

"..."

"That's why I haven't been able to tell you the truth of everything... even after that, I can only let you know more or less about the village of Zisunyu through the method of telling you again and again in your dreams. There are some connections between the Raksha people, and I am waiting for you to discover the truth yourself in the future... Please forgive me for deceiving and concealing you all the time, and I did not tell you everything until now..."

Yang Ji, who was holding her little daughter in her arms, sounded straightforwardly exhausted and apologetic, and Jin Suoyang, who was sitting next to the bushes by the fire with no expression on his face, fell silent for a while when he heard the words , but still did not speak immediately.

After he subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the rooster man who was still guarding the Raksha people for Yang Ji and the blood-red moon above his head, he paused for a moment, and then frowned, frowning. road,

"So, the fact is that you have known the Jilang couple for a long time?"

"..."

"Actually, apart from the curse caused by my mother and the others, the reason why I came here is also related to you asking the rooster to go to another world and bring me here?"

"..."

"That's why the rooster boy... At that time, he wanted to catch me and take revenge on me, but he chose to let me go again and again in a strange way. All this is because of your role in it? You already You know... the rooster man and I will meet in the first story, right?"

Jin Suoyang, who has always been gentle and polite to others, suddenly spoke in such a terrifying tone. Although he still maintained his basic rationality and calmness, his inexplicably low-key tone was still very scary.

And as someone who already knew all the development of the story and even did a lot in it silently——Yang Ji heard the words, and she simply chose to acquiesce with a pale face. The moist eyes on the upper face answered truthfully,

"Yes, I got to know Rooster Man and Hen Lady from the very beginning, but all of this was not completely done by me, and 'years' were driven by fate."

"..."

"I'm sorry... surnamed teacher... I know that when I say this now, you may feel in your heart that I'm lying or shirking responsibility again, but as a weak fish girl who learned the ending of the story from 'Nian' in advance, I am not capable enough to save all of this... So at the very beginning, I tried to give the rooster man and the hen lady a little hint... I hope they will even have to follow the original development of the story under the intervention of 'Year' in the future , and don’t really...kill you, because once you die, then in this world...no one can really change the ending of all the characters in our stories...so at that time I could only..."

"So, what did you do next?"

This kind of rhetoric sounds familiar, because once upon a time, Zhou Dingtian, the old giant who kept saying he didn't want to harm him, seemed to have said the same thing as Yang Ji.

But the so-called change of the ending, besides the Raksha people who are pressing on everyone's heads at this moment, as if they will destroy everything in the next second, came to Jinsuoyang alone 12 years ago, but they haven't fully seen anything enough. Clear truth.

But Yang Ji, who seemed to see the resistance and indifference towards herself from the eyes of this silent white-haired young man, knowing that she had no right to refute under the situation in front of her that had exposed everything in front of her, thought about it and trembled vermilion With glowing eyebrows and eyelashes, he lowered his mouth and said,

"...So, I can only think of some ways. By virtue of the fact that I have seen the ending of the story... let two people who should not have met again in this life come to Dongshan one after another. One of them is you. The other...although he is not the same as you as the creator of the story, and he does not belong to this story, but he has always been a specific symbolic character like a legend...existing in this story, but he never He didn't directly appear in front of other people with a positive image, but it's incredible that in one night, his figure... actually appeared in Dongshan."

When Yang Ji, whose shoulders were trembling, said this, Jin Suoyang, who was listening silently with a pensive expression, raised his head and was startled for a moment.

And seeing that the white-haired young man's attitude towards him was not very good, his face suddenly became darker, and even because he had guessed something, he stared at him vaguely angrily, because he couldn't avoid it, so he could only look at him. Yang Ji, who looked at the river not far away where there are no so-called dragons, said slowly with a tired and guilty face,

"...You guessed it right, that person... is Qin Longjun."

"..."

"This story is created based on the most ideal dream world in your mind. Qin Longjun is the most important person to you. Your last wish in the last life was also to hope that he can turn into a dragon here and completely get rid of the past. The fate of being trapped in a filthy predicament, I have seen all of these in the ending."

"..."

"So after your reincarnation, Dongshan influenced by you has been spreading the legend that the Chishui Dragon King protects the world. Before this, all of us...in fact, we have never seen the true face of the Dragon King, but even the local children know the Chishui Dragon King. This is also because in your heart, you sincerely hope that Qin Longjun can live a life like this from now on..."

"..."

"Because of the relationship between you and his reincarnation just one day before and after reincarnation, there shouldn't be any... intersection in any time, but because of my selfishness... and my greed for life and fear of death... I just did it like this The wrong thing to tamper with the story in private... I thought that maybe you could save the descendants of the fish family... and save us from being slaughtered by the Rakshas... But I forgot... The deal with time is to Paying the price..."

"..."

"So my clansmen... died in the end, and I was imprisoned by the Raksha people for 12 years, and even my daughter was separated from me... If it weren't for Qin Longjun's kindness and kindness back then... my daughter Maybe I was caught and eaten by the Raksha people a long time ago, but as long as I think that I, who was obviously indebted to the two of you, was actually selfish at the beginning... Dazed and forced to do such a thing to your life and Qin Longjun's life, it makes me no matter what How... I don't know how to face the mistakes I made..."

The unexpected words in Yang Ji's mouth with tears in his eyes made Jin Suoyang silent for a while, pursing his lips and turning cold.

He had imagined many times the real reason why Gentiana Qin came to Dongshan alone in the story, but he never thought that the final reason would be Yang Ji.

Seeing that the white-haired young man was in some kind of depressed mood, his brows were pale and his eyes were lowered without saying a word. Yang Ji, who knew that no matter how many excuses she had at the moment, could not be saved at all, then she comforted him with guilt. Looking at the bloody scar on his heart, he opened his mouth and said,

"...Originally half a moon later, Qin Longjun, who first appeared in this story... would come to the upper reaches of the river alone, and by chance, he saw Mr. Rooster... hiding behind the bushes by luck, Not so much the willow flowers that fall by the lake."

"He will take my newborn little daughter to live in the nearby Fan Village for 12 years, during which time he will be the Dragon King of Chishui... really stay in this...story created by you, and wait for what he wants in his heart looking for."

"Until one night, it rained heavily in Fan Village on the top of the mountain, and the sound of thunder resounded overhead. While you, who were being chased by the old boy and the rooster man, fell into the lake, you once again met Qin Longjun, who was in a hurry to find you. Encounter...but now that you have returned to the beginning of the story, once you decide to kill Gongsunshou 12 years ago, that is, tonight, then...then...you..."

When she said the last sentence, Yang Ji, who had red eyes, was inexplicably at a loss for words.

Because she knew that the following words were really...really cruel to Jin Suoyang.

And his face couldn't help showing obvious chills, because of some extremely thorough guesses in his heart, and Jin Suoyang, who seemed to have lost his entire soul, heard that he only held himself when he came, as if he had just held a certain temperature cold In the palm of his hand, he closed his eyes and frowned, and continued to add the next words for Yang Ji,

"...Once I kill Gongsunshou tonight and catch the fleeing 'Nian' to solve this disaster, then Qin Gentian, who was influenced by your falsification of the story and came here in the first place, will never come here again If I have the opportunity to appear in Dongshan tonight, it is even less likely that I will meet my future self."

"..."

"But if... I don't kill Gongsunshou today, and even keep 'Nian' in the sky in the same state as it is now, then tonight is the beginning of all the disasters in the story in the future, and what's more, the giant on the other side 12 years later The village will also fall because of this, and everyone will fall into a nightmare, and Qin Gentiana will not be able to wait for me to go back if he stays there alone."

"..."

"Dongshan 12 years later needs me to go back before dawn, and Dongshan 12 years ago needs me to drag the Raksha people's time on land until dawn. What you just said...is that what you mean?"

"...Yes...Really, I'm sorry...My surname is Teacher, I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

After finishing speaking, the apology in Mrs. Yuv's voice, which dropped a silver teardrop down her cheek, did not seem false. She might have known that the rooster man would catch Jin Suoyang at this time.

But because I couldn't take greater risks to violate the original intention of the story, I had to make such compromises.

It's just that the follow-up development may also deviate from what she originally imagined in her mind, which makes the ending of this confusing story truly and completely revealed.

And I understand very well in my heart that for any normal person, such a choice that concerns the fate of others and personal fate is extremely cruel and difficult.

What's more, Jin Suoyang, who single-handedly created the story of Dongshan back then, was a person of integrity, kindness and strong sense of responsibility.

So at the moment, Yang Ji, who has been suffering from all aspects of her heart for a long time, only listened to her ears approaching here step by step with white lips with a tormented expression, and there was a sound of wild beasts flapping their wings with a strong killing atmosphere, and she looked at him reluctantly and sadly. Yang Hua, who looked innocent and pure in her arms, trembled her lower lip.

"Ah...Mom...ah...Mom..."

Jin Suoyang and Yang Ji, who were still sitting in the silvery lake, heard the call of mother at the same time.

But when she closed her eyes sadly and was struggling to know what to say to Jin Suoyang who was tired by her in front of her, the white-haired young man whose expression had been blank because of the dilemma he had faced since just now Frowning, he suddenly suppressed the anxiety and annoyance in his voice and opened his mouth.

But when he asked the question himself, Yang Ji, who was still holding the child in front of her, was stunned.

"So, Yang Ji, this is the end of the matter, can you tell me, what was the ending of the story about my life that you saw with your own eyes?"

"..."

"Tell me, don't miss a single word."

Jin Suoyang, who was frowning at each word, was obviously restraining the bad emotions in his heart that he could hardly control. He used the greatest strength in his life to personally ask a question that he repelled and disgusted from the bottom of his heart. The problem.

But with a pale face, he had to maintain his usual so-called calmness and patience to wait for the ending, but he didn't expect him to ask this suddenly, and Yang Ji, who was silent for a while, also kept silent for a while with red eyes. , after a long while, he could not bear to speak softly,

"...I... I saw a passage about your future with my own eyes."

"What?"

"... who lost his memory and time and returned to the real world... Jin Suoyang did not return to the bustling city, but stayed in the remote and poor Dongshan County and became a very ordinary mortal."

"..."

"Every night, he would have the same dream. He dreamed that he seemed to see a dragon, but apart from his dream, he never saw any magical dragon in his life, because it was nothing more than a dragon. It's just a figment of mortal fantasy."

"..."

"Every letter written by him has never been sent to the place he wanted to go in his heart. His body is getting old day by day, but even so, he has never seen the place he wanted to find again. One day, the old Jin Suoyang left the world alone after all. The post office in Dongshan was full of dusty letters, and what he told the children about the past when he was young. There is a story about seeing a dragon in the lake in Dongshan."

"..."

"...But in the end, the dragon he was waiting for did not appear in the sky until after his death... It turns out...the Shenlong...disappeared in the world many years ago, and there are no more legends about him in the world. The fate and ending that belonged to Jin Suoyang has since... finally come to an end..."

After these words fell, there was a moment of silence and depression between Jin Suoyang and Yang Ji who were sitting under the pale red moonlight.

Except for the babble of Yang Hua lying in her swaddling baby with her eyes closed, all the fuzzy sounds from the outside world have stagnated.

And Yang Ji, who had sporadic tears on her face, hesitated to speak and looked at the white-haired young man who bowed his head silently, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

She heard Jin Suoyang's fingers moving slightly like a convulsion in some kind of self-torture and painful contemplation, and then she closed her red eyes and said coldly,

"If I remember correctly...you just said that before tonight, people in Dongshan...had always regarded the dragon as a non-existent, or even a completely fictional legend, right?"

"Yep……"

"Then wait for a while, please let the rooster man and the 'old boy' help me lure some of the Raksha people away first, and you can go to the top of the mountain with Yang Hua in your original shape. If you can try your best to get to the vicinity of Fan Village, please hide The gnats and horses of the world will temporarily take you in tonight."

"..."

"...I will find a way to stop those Haishi people before dawn. The 'nian' that was snatched from your son and grandson Yu's village is now in the pavilion that is integrated with Gongsunshou. I already feel the special aura of 'Nian', and I will definitely... find a way to catch both Gongsun Shou and 'Nian'."

"You...really...so decided?"

"Well... I am the one who created this story in the first place, and the sins caused by 'Nian' should also be settled by me alone, and...no one in this world knows how to catch it better than me."

"Master Ke... Once the 'Nian' disappears, the 'door' to go back to the original time will be closed... Regarding your own ending... What should I do... between you... between you and Qin Longjun... Woolen cloth?"

"..."

Yang Ji's subconscious question made Jin Suoyang, who was drooping his eyes, silent for a while, but unexpectedly he didn't think for too long this time.

Perhaps before striding his feet towards the unknown front, he already had the clearest but most stubborn answer in his heart.

So now, holding the last book with a vague surname written in it and a gleaming silver bracelet, the white-haired young man slowly frowned, and looked at him with the most resolute tone in his life, full of blood in his mouth. The two rounds of red moons above the head speak authentically,

"From a very young age, I have firmly remembered a sentence in my mind."

"Forget the fundamentals, how happy is life."

"Even if you once saw that the ending about me is true, I will definitely change it, cross the time that blocks life and death, and return to the people who are waiting for me."

"...He has always been a person who looks proud and conceited, but is very sensitive and fragile inside. When he is sad, he will hide quietly by himself, unhappy and don't want to tell others, and few people understand his miserable and painful past. Such a person, when the weather is cold, I will worry that he will be frozen, and when it rains, I will also want to rush to him immediately to see him, and when I sleep at night, I will always want to hug him and not let him Half a step away... I hope to be by his side all the time, one year, two years, ten years, it will always be a hundred years after me and him, because of the promise I made with him..."

"It's also because I really... can't bear to leave him alone anymore."

……

"He's still waiting for me."

"So before the end of tonight, I will definitely go back through the 'door' in the sky, and regardless of life or death, I will definitely go back and find him."

"I have to do this, and I have to do that."

Under Zhou Changzhi's tree, the pitch-black night was completely enveloped by the smell of blood and bones.

It is about the last day and night of the giant village, or the fate and ending of the entire Dongshan story.

From the top of the giant village covered in dark clouds, there is a gloomy sky, which gives people a sense of unprovoked horror and distortion from a distance.

Those Raksha people crowded in the air like densely packed black dots were frantically trying to get closer with their crossbow arrows raised in front of the half moon.

But because before this, there was a huge figure who had been guarding the sky for almost half the night and most people in the village had resisted desperately time and time again, so the half of the blood-colored sky above the Zhou Changzhi tree has not yet been completely lost.

Dragon.

When those brutal and terrifying Rakshasa people tried to break into the giant village last night, a very large dragon appeared on the moon.

The clouds at night were dyed red, as if the blood of those Raksha people who screamed and lost their disclosure had been infiltrated little by little.

It is precisely because of the protection and blessing of that indestructible figure in the sky that the entire giant village can survive the half moon.

This also gives all the big guys who are still sticking to this place a little bit of confidence. Even though their faces are more or less miserable, their faces and mouths are still very positive and optimistic.

【...As long as... Lord Long doesn't leave... Teacher surname doesn't come back... We will stay here... Waiting to beat these Raksha people away...】

[Yes...with Lord Long here...we won't leave...we are not afraid...we will be with Lord Long...]

[Yeah... Long Jun and the surname teacher are so powerful... they will definitely bring us... together and eventually... drive the Raksha people away...]

The simple and clumsy giants used the simplest language to clearly express their gratitude and firmness that they couldn't conceal in their hearts.

But at the same time, they didn't seem to understand that no matter how powerful and powerful the gods were, they couldn't withstand such terrible, long and endless torture.

Also tired, hurt, and bleeding.

What's more, that day and night didn't stop at all, like evil spirits... The thing densely covering the heads of everyone was not so much a monster, but more like the incarnation of a terrible fate.

Thinking like this, Ah Xiang, who was hiding under the cow shed in the giant village with her pale face and her tail curled up to peek out, silently looked at the red sky in the night that seemed to be a beast that was about to devour the earth.

Before that, she actually just went to see the female tamarin, the clay doll, and Zhou Ping and Zhou Ding on the other side.

Everyone staying here suffered injuries to varying degrees tonight. Except for Zhang Changsheng who had a "minor illness" and could only lie unconscious for a while, she also carefully placed everyone else in the mandrill's cave halfway up the mountain. It will not be discovered by the remaining Rakshasa people in the sky.

"Ah Xiang...I just...dreamed...Qin Gentiana is coming again...to spank my ass together...you have to ask...uncle to save me..."

"..."

"...I... really miss my uncle... Qin Gentiana... my brother... I really want everyone to live together like before... Ah Xiang... woo..."

When everyone was hiding in the dark underground cave earlier, Zhang stupid dog who was still dizzy and didn't know what happened was lying in his arms frowning in a daze and talking in his sleep.

It is said that what a person sees in a dream is the true reflection of his heart.

So maybe, Uncle and Uncle Qin are the ones that this guy cares about and misses the most, and also the most inseparable existence.

This sudden thought made Ah Xiang, who heard what he was talking about just now, feel even more uncomfortable. In the end, she could only forcibly hide the expression on her face that was about to be unbearable, and sneaked in. ran out.

Not far away at this moment, there are sporadic visible numbers of terrifying Rakshasa hovering in the sky vigilantly and cautiously.

Maybe after a while, they, who have been retreating steadily all night, will be unable to hold back and launch the next round of attacks on the ground below with their sharp minions bared.

And by that time, all the descendants of the Zhou family, including Giant Village... must also be forced to flee the village on the top of the mountain, leaving more possibilities for survival.

Seeing this, the pale Axiang bit her lips anxiously for a while, and then her hands and feet were cold, and she didn't dare to waste any more time, so she took the herb in her mouth and hurried to the side, and she forcefully dug it out, like It's a fox hole where someone is hiding.

And when she finally dug through the soil beside the fox's hole with her forefoot, she got in again with a handful of withered and yellow herbs in winter.

But when I saw the dragon lying in the depths of the dark cave, he seemed very tired, but the dragon scales all over his body were bloody, the edges of his eyes were ripped apart, and even the gleaming dragon horns were smashed to death. Shenlong slowly opened a pair of gray eyes that were wet with blood and looked at him, Ah Xiang's throat still seemed to be choked by something bitter when he saw his bloody back.

"More Rakshasa people... are starting to approach here?"

"..."

"No wonder...the sky seems to be getting dark...the moon can't be seen..."

"..."

"...Did the other come back?"

"..."

"It's been so long... Tell me, that guy who grew up eating grass... What the hell... is he still dawdling about?"

So weak, with a hoarse voice full of scars, complaining face-up, transformed into the original form, lying on the edge of the small cave in severe pain, and at the same time struggling to reach out to try to touch the moonlight, Gentiana chinensis sounded like But it didn't seem like he was really blaming the person who had made an agreement with him but didn't return for a long time.

On the contrary, it's more like a kind of soliloquy...or care and worry that can't be concealed in my heart.

And when he heard him start to say these words in such a sly way, Ah Xiang, who used to hear such words and always liked to quarrel with Qin Gentiana on purpose, just buried her head and cried without daring to make a sound.

She actually didn't know why she was feeling sorry for the guy in front of her.

But I saw with my own eyes that Qin Gentian, who was so powerful, so considerate of everyone, was injured like this in order to stay here to protect everyone, or to fight against that terrible fate.

Her heart was still throbbing so badly, she was so sore and sad.

And when I remembered that a few days ago, in the cedar forest outside the village that was repeatedly hit by strong winds, the nearby mandrills, savages, and countless beasts were suddenly warned by a strange howling sound of dragons, and they all left in panic. Here, Ah Xiang's tears began to fall unstoppable again.

Regarding the strange scene, Long Xiao, who frightened half of the living things on the top of the mountain and ran away, mysteriously left alone at that time, and said that he was going to find Qin Gentian, who was surnamed Jin, before he left. He did not give Ah Xiang a specific and clear explanation before.

But looking at Qin Gentiana's figure walking away without looking back at that time, Ah Xiang, who couldn't figure out what this person was thinking sometimes, was inexplicably afraid to stop him.

At that time, she vaguely had a bold guess in her heart, but for some reason, Ah Xiang, who was inexplicably nervous, was not sure.

After all, if Gentiana Qin is really the cold-blooded and arrogant person I heard my father mentioned in the past, then perhaps no one in this world knows better than himself how dangerous it is to go to the Giant Village to find the teacher with the surname Jin It's over.

But under such circumstances, he still insisted on going to the Giant Village to find someone, which means that in the eyes of Qin Gentian who insisted on leaving at that time, those external dangers may not be as important as the safety of the Jin surname teacher. of.

Thinking about it this way, in fact, sometimes the little fox girl who is not so stupid can only stay here with the mother tamarin and the others to guard the unconscious Zhang Changsheng.

But who knew that when she saw Gentiana Qin again, the guess in her heart would actually come true.

It turned out that he was really that long ago... Long who was repeatedly put on his mouth as bragging capital.

It turns out... the heart and blood of the dragon is really... not cold.

is hot.

Still very hot, very hot.

He is warmer and more reliable than many people and many things in the world, just like the cleanest and most dazzling sunrise on the top of a snow mountain, firm, bright, and his whole body begins to shine when reflected.

"Jin...Master Jin...he must be very busy now, but he will be back soon...he will definitely be back...and then join us...to beat those Rakshasa people outside!"

"..."

"So you... you hurry up... don't move, apply these herbs well! Let me wrap your... dragon horns... you used to be so stinky... now you don't care if you will be in the future Has it become ugly? Don't let me think about it... Do you hear me! I don't care... how powerful you were... you made me anxious... I don't care... I don't care if you are a dragon... ...I'm not afraid of you... woo... Also, if you feel pain, you have to tell the truth! Did you hear that! Don't lie and bear it!"

While pretending to be angry and sniffing his nose and sobbing, he still looked aggressive and loudly taught the annoying guy in front of him who was obviously old and seemed to be very worrying.

Ah Xiang's words made Qin Gentian, who was lying here just now, fell into a kind of tired and painful drowsiness, tried hard to open some bloodshot eyes again.

After noticing that Ah Xiang, whose dusty ears were drooping downwards, applied herbal medicine to herself, she was also careful not to hurt herself.

This weird man with a bad and annoying personality, who used to always take pleasure in teasing others, tilted his head and looked at her, and then deliberately pulled the corner of his pale mouth as if talking to himself, and said,

"……it hurts."

"..."

"Actually... I'm most afraid of pain... I was like you and Changsheng... When I was so old, just a little bit of sadness that couldn't bear it could make me cry for a long time in embarrassment alone."

"..."

"...but then, I stopped crying."

"..."

"Because crying is actually of no real use. Tears and begging will not make those... who cruelly abandoned me come back."

Ah Xiang didn't dare to answer these words that she was confused at the first sight, but the piecemeal crying of her sobbing and gritting her teeth leaked out from the gap between her teeth little by little.

In fact, the buzzing ears on both sides can no longer hear too clear voices. The man with dragon horns who was still looking at the red moon outside was silent for a moment, and then said in a drawn-out tone weakly,

"But... did I tell you... a long time ago, I once exchanged something from an old woman from Miaoshan."

"...it seems... no, no..."

This somewhat abrupt topic seemed a little sudden, so Ah Xiang, who was staring at him with a red nose, also shook her head after thinking carefully, while Qin Gentian, who had a tired expression, was only silent for a while when she saw this, and then looked up. Staring at the black hole on the moon while recalling, he said,

"That's actually... a very accidental opportunity. The old woman on Miao Mountain... said that she saw my future destiny with her own eyes, so at that time I... twisted my hair and gave it to her, and then I personally asked the fourth prophecy about my future destiny, what exactly is it..."

"..."

"At that time, she... said something to me... and told me that after many years, I would know what the fourth prophecy was, but I didn't fully understand it at that time, and I even thought... The prophecy that happened to me has not been fulfilled, but on the way from Xiaoren County with you and the marmoset these few days, I seem to suddenly... understand what the old woman said back then."

"You...understood...what? That old woman on Miaoshan...said to you again?"

"She told me... many years ago, her ancestors
