Chapter 107:
Chi's family is well prepared, the guest room is clean and spacious, it has been carefully cleaned, and the bedding and pillows of the big bed should be new. In the winter solstice, the skin hurts from being scalded in the water, and it hurts from the wear of the clothes on the body. When I lay down to sleep, I could barely change into clean clothes and sit on the bed to rest for a while.
An hour passed quickly, and Mr. Chi couldn't help sinking as he looked at the "peach blossom" behind him that was only lightening in color, but did not disappear.
After the winter solstice, I looked back in the mirror and naturally found it.
"Sorry, my ability is limited, it seems that there are too many experts in this world!" Mr. Chi shook his head, although he was unwilling, he could only smile bitterly, "In this situation, the head down should be suppressed a little, but the symptoms are not the root cause. , If you want to surrender, I am afraid there is only one way, to release the bell, you need to tie the bell, find the person who fell, kill him, and the surrender will naturally be solved."
He also knew that what he said was equal to not saying it. There is no doubt that the person who can lower his head has a vicious mind. How can the other party let the Winter Solstice and the others find it easily? Even if it takes a lot of hard work to find it in the end, I'm afraid it's too late.
The Winter Solstice was a little disappointed, but it was also expected, he had a hunch that things might not be resolved so easily.
"Father, if this head drop can't be resolved, what will be the final result, will I die?"
Grandpa Chi hesitated for a moment, but Dongzhi already saw the answer on his face.
"Then if I die, will the soul be used by the descendants to do other things?"
The winter solstice is afraid of death. He yearns and loves life like every person with a strong desire to survive. He still has many dreams to complete, but he is even more afraid that he will be used as a puppet after his death, standing on the opposite side of his former friends and companions. , It is really hopeless to survive, and hopeless to die.
Before the old man Chi could answer, someone on the shoulder of the winter solstice had already been pressed.
Long Shen said, "You won't die."
The old man Chi sighed secretly, and expressed his regret and apology to them. It could be seen that the old man was hit hard, not only because he failed to help Long Shen and the others, but also because of this incident that made him realize that although he was considered powerful, he was There are still many head-dropping techniques in the world that he is powerless to do.
The surrender failed, and neither of them was in the mood to participate in the Chi family's reception banquet. Mr. Chi knew that what they needed most now was rest and discussing countermeasures, and he did not hold back any more. You can find it anytime.
Chi Banxia's cousin, the young man who brought them here, personally drove them back to the hotel.
"I've already helped you check in, and I've taken all your luggage in. You can just go up."
The winter solstice thanked him, took the room card, and went upstairs with Long Shen.
They booked two adjacent rooms on the same floor. The location is excellent. There is a huge and wide floor-to-ceiling window in the room. When the curtains are opened, they can see the gorgeous liuxia slowly falling into the sea with the setting sun. , consider it the perfect romantic place.
"Master, do you have any plans next?" He reluctantly cheered up.
Long Shen said: "Take you to the northwest and meet someone, he may have a solution."
Even Long Shen said the word "possible", which shows that the grasp is not very big, but the Winter Solstice did not continue to ask, but said: "Are you leaving tomorrow?"
Long Shen shook his head: "Didn't you say you want to stay here for a few more days, I booked for five nights."
The winter solstice said with a smile: "That's great. We can walk around the seaside and eat seafood in the past few days. I've been to Sanya, and I'll be a tour guide to show you."
Long Shen said yes.
"Master, I'm a little tired. I want to sleep first. I'll find you tomorrow morning. You don't need to call me for dinner." It was rare for the two to get along alone, but the Winter Solstice took the initiative to see off guests, with a deep expression on their brows. Tired, voice a little weak.
Long Shen stared at him for a moment: "Then you have a good rest."
Watching the other party leave and closing the door, the winter solstice was overwhelmed by the surging pain before he could breathe a sigh of relief.
He bent down, his back against the door and slowly slid down, his hands tightly clutching the clothes on his chest, the dense pain pierced through his back as if being stabbed by needles, the pain was so painful that he couldn't do anything else, he could only relieve the pain in this way .
In fact, this attack was not as intense as the last time. Perhaps it was Mr. Chi's method that helped relieve it, but the Winter Solstice still didn't want Long Shen to see him so embarrassed, because just now he clearly saw the pity in Long Shen's eyes that he couldn't take away. and pain.
Long Shen was supposed to be powerful and omnipotent. In the thousands of years he has traveled, he has experienced many winds, frosts, rains and snows, but now he has finally accepted an apprentice, not only did he not enjoy the benefits brought by the apprentice. Also worry about running for the apprentice.
Even the winter solstice is worthless for Long Shen, because the apprentice he accepted not only could not enjoy the long lifespan like him, but he was demoted as soon as he could make some achievements, and he was faced with a bad ending. If you go back, the other party will probably regret it.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing out loud, but it caused another burst of pain in his heart, this time it was more severe, Dongzhi closed his eyes, and told himself that he just had to endure the past. I've come here, this time I'm sure it's okay, but the tears came out unknowingly.
He saw the long guard sword placed beside the bed with his luggage, wiped away his tears and staggered over, grabbed the sword in his hand, and held it in his arms, as if he could draw some strength.
He is afraid of death, he is afraid of the dark and unknown world, he wants to fight with He Yukan Chaosheng Liu Qingbo and the others, in the face of future dangers, he wants to stay behind Long Shen silently, even if he is healthy, life is only for weapons Spiritually speaking, it will take a few decades, even if they can only be masters and apprentices in their entire lives, he wants to paint another picture for Long Shen, and he wants to keep the phrase "don't be afraid when I'm here" in his heart, Even if Shang Qiongbi falls to Huangquan, he will not forget it.
Tears poured out and dripped onto the scabbard of the Changshou sword. At this moment, it seemed that only the cold temperature could convey a little consolation.
I'm sorry, Master. The winter solstice is silent, I could have been more careful, so that maybe I wouldn't be plotted against, because of my own selfishness, I wanted to be your apprentice, but now I am tired of you and hurt for me. You should have someone who can accompany you After a long time, a disciple as strong as you, not as weak and useless as me...
The raised lines on the scabbard caused pain on his face, but the pain was less than 1/10,000 of the time when his hair fell. Cold sweat had soaked his entire back. to divert attention.
But that round of red sun had been completely submerged by the sea, and the rest of the sky was still struggling with a tinge of orange brightness in the sapphire blue sky. But how can the sporadic firelight warm the coldness of my heart?
The wind blows in from the window. Even though there is no severe cold here all year round, the wind on winter nights still brings some coolness.
The winter solstice was motionless, sitting beside the bed, as if asleep.
When he lost consciousness later, he also forgot. He only knew that when he woke up, he was already lying on the bed, clean and covered with a quilt. There was steaming white porridge and side dishes beside the bed, and there was a familiar person.
"Master."
In this mouth, the winter solstice found that his throat was tearing, his nose was blocked, and his voice was muffled.
After thinking about it, he thought that he probably caught a cold from the wind when he sat and fell asleep.
Long Shen snorted: "Eat the porridge first, then the medicine."
As if nothing had happened, he felt guilty on the Winter Solstice and didn't dare to say anything. He obediently picked up the bowl and drank the porridge in one mouthful. , how did you get in?"
Long Shen: "I have the key card of your room."
He also saw the way he was holding the sword with tears all over his face before? The winter solstice is getting worse.
"I'm sorry." He quickly apologized on the principle of being frank and lenient.
Long Shen looked at him: "Why don't you call me when you have an attack?"
Dongzhi lowered his head and whispered: "I know that you have spent a lot of time on my business, and you have done a lot of things that I don't know. I can't help you much, and I don't want you to worry more."
Long Shen said lightly: "I don't want you to hide from me about this matter. You are my apprentice and the only apprentice I have accepted so far. I am willing to care about you, and I don't think it is a burden."
At the beginning of the winter solstice, he nodded obediently and did not dare to respond, but after hearing it, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Long Shen.
Long Shen said: "I'm not the kind of person who doesn't take anything to heart as you imagined. I also have passions and six desires, which may be weaker and duller than ordinary people, but after all, there are. Before, I thought it was because of your obsession. If you work hard to impress you, you will be accepted as a disciple, but after thinking about it, if you didn’t look at it differently from the beginning, how could you pay attention to your persistence and hard work?”
The winter solstice was dazed, but he couldn't get back to his senses. He found that his understanding ability was deviated. For the first time, he couldn't understand Long Shen's words, or he didn't dare to think in that direction at all.
Long Shen did not continue this topic.
"Do you want to continue sleeping?"
Winter solstice shook his head.
Long Shen: "The weather is okay today, go for a walk?"
When the winter solstice heard the surging waves coming from the window, I was a little moved, so I nodded.
He had a bit of a cold, so Long Shen brought a coat and let him put it on. He opened the quilt on the winter solstice and wanted to get out of bed, but he forgot that he was so weak now that his legs were weak and he almost fell forward.
After hesitating for a moment, he said to Long Shen, "Master, why don't you go tomorrow?"
Long Shen saw that he didn't want to let him carry it. It was indeed a bit troublesome to carry someone to the beach in the middle of the night. The key point was that there might not be a place to sit by the beach. Long Shen paused, said "wait for me for a while", and turned around to go out.
Winter Solstice didn't know what he was going to do, but after ten minutes, Long Shen actually pushed a wheelchair.
"Sit here first, it's easier to get up and down."
Winter Solstice Yile: "Master, is your nickname Tiny Ding-dong?"
Long Shen explained seriously: "The hotel has wheelchairs for loan."
It was really much easier to get in and out with a wheelchair. Long Shen also covered a thin blanket on his knees. The aftermath was that people thought he was disabled, so they gave way to oncoming people. In the winter solstice, he also met a little girl holding a flower in her hand. Give it to him and say brother wish you a speedy recovery.
There is a beach in front of the hotel, and there are many people walking on the beach at night, but now it is almost late at night, there are very few tourists, and the vast open space comes with the smell of the sea, which makes people's minds clear. There was a shower during the day, and the night became extraordinarily clear. The stars in the sky rushed out to protect the crescent moon. There was no need for artificial lights, and there were sparkling waves. The waves rushed to the beach, and then quickly retreated. Leaving lonely wet marks.
A couple ran by laughing, the girl was wearing a long skirt and bare feet, her long hair was blown by the wind, covering her face, and the boy who was far behind her picked up her mobile phone and swiped it to capture the best moment of her girlfriend. Even if the clarity of the night is not enough, that moment may have been imprinted in his heart.
The boy quickly caught up with his girlfriend, and the two kissed under the witness of Xingyue. Perhaps out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the Winter Solstice coming over. The girl was a little embarrassed, so she pushed her boyfriend away and dragged him away quickly. There were a few hurried footprints left on the beach. The tide came and went, but the traces could not be wiped away, and there was still a faint smell of love.
The two walked away with a smile, leaving a few footprints on the beach. The Winter Solstice sighed involuntarily, like envy and regret.
Long Shen stood behind him and suddenly made a sound.
"Are you envious of them?"
Winter Solstice shook his head: "I'm just happy for their simple and beautiful little happiness."
I'm glad that after all, not everyone in this world can't get what they want, and there are also people like the two just now, who found each other in the vast sea of people, fell in love and became a family.
"Do you think this is happiness?" Long Shen asked.
Winter Solstice said with a smile: "It should be, some people want a lot of happiness, and the whole world is in front of him, and he still thinks he can get more, and some people want little happiness, even if they see the sea and the stars. , I can be happy for a long time when I see the person I like."
Another wave of waves came, and they were still some distance away from the submerged place, so there was no need to rush to retreat, but the footprints left by the couple just now were swept away by the sea, but they almost completely disappeared.
As far as he could see, the young couple had also disappeared. Maybe they walked into the dark and whispered love words, maybe they had gone back to rest, his eyes were chasing their figures, and his heart was inexplicably a little lost.
Suddenly, a small shadow shrouded his eyes, and before he could react, there was a warmth on his lips.
Long Shen bent forward and tapped lightly. When Dongzhi's body was stiff and petrified, and he couldn't respond, his lips left.
"Now, do you feel happy?"
The winter solstice was settled, he almost thought he had hallucinations just now, and this hallucination was so real that even the temperature on his lips seemed to remain.
His heart skipped a beat, and then it intensified. He couldn't help pressing his chest, for fear that he would be resurrected by lowering his head.
"Master, what were you doing just now?" His voice was a little floating.
If it wasn't a hallucination, then it might be that Long Shen thought it was a way of expressing his master's love for his apprentice.
He began to think of excuses for Long Shen, but the next sentence of the other party was: "I'm kissing you."
"Why?" The winter solstice was dazed and dazed. He stared at the dark sea in front of him, as if to see them blooming a flower in the waves. Emotions that are not calm.
But Long Shen's tone was more incomprehensible than him: "Don't you like me? I thought you would be happy if you did this."
Happy, of course he was happy.
A huge tidal wave of joy poured in, and he was overwhelmed like those footprints were instantly submerged, feeling that time stopped at this moment, and he died without regret.
But the joy turned into severe pain in an instant, like a sharp blade slashing his heart, the pain was so painful that the Winter Solstice couldn't help but bend over slightly, and the pain made his eyes swell and he was about to cry.
When Long Shen saw that he seemed to be dropping his hair, he bent down and was about to pick him up, but was held down by Dongzhi's wrist.
"I'm fine."
Long Shen probed his forehead, the normal temperature came from his palm, and his skin was clean and sweat-free.
Winter Solstice took a breath, and seemed to have endured the sudden pain, and said, "Actually, when I entered this industry, I had already considered the danger, and knew that I might be injured or even sacrificed. Anyway, my parents have passed away, even if it is true If something goes wrong, you don't have to worry about your family."
Long Shen listened quietly.
"The ants are still stealing their lives, and I'm also afraid of death, and even more afraid that they will live without anyone but a ghost after being hit by the head. Just like Ming Xian, I can't help myself, and I will fight against you. At that time, I will just be a puppet, not yours. Disciple, is no longer a living person with feelings and thoughts."
He thought that he had already calmed down, but when he saw Long Shen squat down in front of him, and looked at the other person's focused expression, tears still couldn't help gushing out.
"You won't become like that, I will try my best." Long Shen said, reaching out to wipe his tears, "I have already contacted the director of the Northwest Branch. He is an extremely powerful person, maybe there is a way."
"So, Master, I don't need any sympathy, including yours." The winter solstice took his hand, the coldness and warmth met, and the coolness was soon wrapped in warmth. "I'm Long Shen's disciple. Even if I can't be as strong as Long Shen, I should be as strong as him."
Long Shen frowned, "I'm not sympathizing with you."
He didn't know how the winter solstice came up with such an idea.
"I never force others or myself to do something I don't want to do." He squeezed the other's chin and pecked his lips again.
The meaning of this should be clear enough, right?
The winter solstice pushed him away.
"Sorry, Master, I regret it."
"You also know that human beings, especially men, are always a little bit inferior, and they think that what they can't get is the best. After you kissed me, I actually recognized how I felt about you. I may have just been wrong before. It's just confusing admiration with love."
"And you're right, when I'm old and you still look the same, I will definitely be angry or inferior, and I can't accept this situation. I want to understand, what I like should be as sweet as the girl just now. Lively, like to be coquettish, ordinary, like you, I will feel pressure and distance."
He had to pinch his fingernails into his palms and use the pain to sober himself up, so that he could say these words one after another without missing a beat.
Covered with one hand, the fingers of the winter solstice were separated one by one.
"You are lying." Long Shen said, "When you are guilty and nervous, you will clench your fists, just like you wanted to get me drunk last time."
Looking at the dazed expression on the Winter Solstice, there was a hint of a smile in his eyes. Rarely, he had a narrow mind, and he deliberately asked, "Why, forgot?"
How could he forget the winter solstice? He remembered it clearly, but he didn't expect Long Shen to remember such small details early on.
"This time, I may not be able to survive, even if I can, I will only have a few decades of life at best, and I can't accompany you for a long time. I can't just see my whole life and ignore yours. We are not suitable for each other. , I, too, don't deserve your liking."
In life, there is nothing but gain and give up. On the road of constant giving up, one keeps gaining, and in the process of constantly gaining, one keeps giving up other things.
He used to confess to Long Shen in order to "get", get Long Shen's love, get a different look from Long Shen, and get what he wanted. In the end, it was a kind of possessiveness, but now he "gives up", but abandons everything he wants. Desire, choose restraint, just to let the other party not be sad because of worrying about him in the future.
If Long Shen, who has just turned into a human figure, or Long Shen who watched Yu Qian go to his death calmly, may not understand the difference between the winter solstice and the sacrifice, but now that he has been in the Special Administration Bureau for many years, how can he not see it? Out of the winter solstice pretending to be calm, duplicitous.
His heart was slightly moved, and there was an emotion that he couldn't even explain himself. Long Shen said, "There is no value in this world, only whether you like it or not."
He lowered his head again, this time the kiss was deeper, a red mark was pinched on the chin of the Winter Solstice, the eyelashes were fluttering, the eyes were wandering, and the breathing was messy.
"I've never treated anyone like this before." Long Shen said.
The winter solstice is the first, and probably the only one.
"Without you, I will continue to walk like this. With you, at least in the past few decades, someone will walk with me. Would you like to?"
Long Shen's face was half hidden in the darkness, but the hot air he breathed could be seen close at hand. Dongzhi blinked his eyes, as if he was about to blink away the dense fog there. , the impulse has preceded the reason, let the winter solstice grab Long Shen's neck, take the initiative to meet him, peck lightly on the thin and cool lips, and quickly part.
"Are you sure you're not disgusted?"
Long Shen shook his head and even asked him, "Do you want to try again?"
"No need!" Winter Solstice said hurriedly, with steam on his face, thinking that fortunately he couldn't see clearly in the dark.
Then he heard Long Shen's voice ringing in his ears.
"I've never loved anyone, and I don't know what love is, but I'm willing to try and be a flesh-and-blood Long Shen who understands love and hate for you."
The mist lingered in his eyes for a long time, and finally came out, and the winter solstice shivered and buried his head in the other's neck.
Even though he had not cried many times in life and death, he always seemed weak in front of Long Shen.
Tonight, let him be weak again.
The darker the night and the cooler the sky, the sound of the waves is still the same, but I don't know when it will change from a single surging to a harmonious harmony of ups and downs.
With the fiery body around him, he couldn't help but sneezed at the winter solstice.
"Go back." Long Shen said.
On the winter solstice, Long Shen pushed the wheelchair towards the hotel.
He finally glanced back in the direction of the sea.
The sparks of the distant ships are still there, twinkling, echoing the stars in the sky.
The ship's light is tonight, and the starlight is from billions of light-years away. They travel through time and space and converge into a wonderful fate.
Maybe there are countless such fates in the vast universe, just like him and Longshen, even if he is like that boat light, it will be extinguished tomorrow, but at least they have met before, and the stars may know that there was such a small end. Light, on the sea of a certain planet, that long night that accompanied him.
