Horseshoe flower

Lin Ya finally found that person.

But the time is too long, because Lin Ya has traveled all over the entire imperial city, and now there are only two days left, and it will be a new year.

Every household outside was beaming with joy, busy hanging up festive red lanterns, preparing new year’s goods, slaughtering pigs, sweeping the house, preparing solid wood, and starting to cook big pots of rice...

I found that person in a remote small courtyard, not in the imperial palace, but in the back hill outside the imperial city. There is a small cemetery, and the cemetery guards live in the small courtyard next to the cemetery.

Found here by pure chance.

When Lin Ya met that person again...

It was evening, when the red lanterns were lit up, and every family was reunited together, watching the white snowflakes arrive as promised, fluttering in the warm atmosphere of orange and red, and the roofs were full of steaming white smoke, the adults called themselves home. When the kids come home for dinner...

Lin Ya missed his deceased father a little, so he came to this remote and silent place alone.

Never expected that he would actually appear in the sight of deathly silence...

The cemetery seems to be darker than other places. There are a few twisted old trees growing, and weeds are overgrown on the graves, but they are covered with some snow, but the pitch-black crows are more conspicuous. They squatted on the tree together, staring at Lin Ya who passed under the tree with wide eyes.

Dead silence.

The bustle and warmth outside cannot infect this place, it is cold and lonely, and no one cares about it.

The courtyard is small and the walls are very low, which can't stop the biting cold wind at all.The only thing that is a little angry may be a little bit of candlelight shining through the paper windows in the small thatched house.

Lin Ya climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard.No reason, just want to come in.No reason, just suddenly very worried.

Lin Ya quietly pushed open the small broken wooden door, and as Lin Ya went in, there was a gust of cold sleet wind that snuffed out the weak candlelight.

"Who……?"

Someone spoke in a dark and cold corner, hoarse and indistinct like a gangster.

Lin Ya heard it.

This is the voice of the court, the eyes.The extremely shrewd, energetic and confident eyes in the court hall left a deep memory and prompted Lin Ya to search for him across thousands of mountains and rivers.

There are many things I want to say, many questions I want to ask, many topics I want to talk about...

There was a moment of silence.Not a word.

"Ten... right?" the man asked again.

Why can't I say a word.

Lin Ya stood in front of the door in a daze, forgetting to turn off the cold, but with his back to the cold wind, whistling in his ears.

"Ha...I knew...you came back to celebrate the New Year with me..." The man suddenly became excited and re-lit half of the candle, only then did Lin Ya see——

Calla Lily's pale face, sharp eyes covered with a thick white cloth, blue lips, struggled to get up from the narrow bed, fumbled to light the candle; , the joints of the bones in the hands are clearly visible, and there are still many traces of burns; the white single clothes are no longer clean, covered with a thin linen quilt, and there are traces of blood on them; Although the quilt is small, the calla lilies are still flat when covered, and the hair is a bit messy, and the whole person is almost dead...

"Hey, there's no hot water for you to drink...ahem..." Calla Lily sat up in a hurry, trying to make herself look good.

Lin Ya hurried to the bed and supported him.

"Shiquan, are the lanterns hung up now?" Calla Lily took Lin Ya's hand tremblingly, not knowing what to say for a while: "Uh...Shiquan, I..."

"Ah, by the way, do you still remember...the first time you saw me...it was also at this time...

You found me in a pigsty... huh - under a stone trough hiding from an incoming army...

It's getting dark...but you found me all of a sudden...I don't even know what's going on...

At that time, I really... really liked that kind of lantern... It felt very warm...

Really... I really like you too...

When I saw you for the first time...I was already...willing to be a cow and a horse for you...My body and mind...are all yours...I am motivated for you...study hard...I want to lighten your burden ...

I want you...and your world...to have white flour steamed buns...

I'm really...just for you...Brother Ten Kwon...I hope everyone...I hope...children can go to school...you will be happy too...

I... I have no bad intentions... you trust me...

elder brother……

me……

In my whole life...the luckiest thing is to meet you..."

Calla Lily suddenly felt someone hugging him tightly.

"I see." Lin Ya said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine. We won't go anywhere, I'll accompany you... right here..."

Calla Lily froze for a moment...

"Sorry... what did you say? I didn't hear very clearly... I'm really dragging you down..."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay..." Lin Ya hugged the calla lily, "Fireworks started to go off outside..."

"Smoke... flowers? It's so beautiful... right."...

Horseshoe flowers were buried under the thick snow, and gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky.

Lin Ya doesn't regret coming to Lingguo for nothing,

The meaning of this trip is just to meet the person you want to see for the last time.

Jiangshan is dead, it will always be there.The people living in the mountains and rivers are alive, so everything is meaningless.

Never before have I been so eager to eat a bite of white flour steamed bread and read a book like this moment.

world this kind of thing

who loves who wants

The author has something to say:

5: Lin Ya, do you really want to rule the world?Just because of a person who has only seen two sides?You don't even know each other's names.

Lin Ya: It's not important.Calla Lily is the person I admire the most in my life.I have never seen such a loyal and unrepentant person, so I followed his advice and let him stay in the land of ten powers.Calla Lily symbolizes purity and happiness. I think this name can only be called him, and I would not agree with anyone else.

As for the world, it was he who made me really re-acquainted.

What he told me was life.

He is my important person, important opponent and friend. When he really disappeared, the feeling in my heart made me understand the relationship between the common people and the world, the relationship between the common people and children...

Now, I just want a piece of land, enough to grow steamed buns that can feed me.

I alone should not occupy so much living space.

Dominate the world

Bored.

5: But by the way, why can't you speak?

Lin Ya: I was surprised, Calla Lily...

5; We understand this, his situation is too desolate, isn't it?In my place, I would be surprised and uncomfortable, indignant...

Lin Ya: You don't understand, he scares me so much, even though he is talking about how to flatten the world because of an injustice.

5: (How can a man be unfair)
