The devil always wants to marry me
Chapter 53 Pain
Spring, in this world, is the season of recovery of all things.But here, it's not just the warm and good things that are revived.
The hoodoos that were brought to sleep along with the winter glaciers will wake up during this season.
The land is covered with clean and bright green, and this emerald sea seems to extend to an endless end. The mountains in the distance are covered with sporadic wild flowers, attracting colorful butterflies.
The child opened his eyes wide, staring brightly at the rarely seen vigorous and beautiful scenery in front of him.
The alternation of the four seasons here does not follow the laws of the present world. In a hundred years, winter has accounted for half of it.
So this is the first time Qiqi has seen spring.
Different from the false illusion described in detail in the book with cold language, what unfolded in front of her eyes was the real, colorful scenery like a scroll.
"Law, so beautiful!"
The child was full of joy and admired the scenery in front of him, the eyes of the night were astonishingly bright at this moment, the sun's rays refracted in the child's eyes, reflecting a piece of water, like a flower bud just poked in the early spring, stained with the morning sun first exposure.
Lu, who had been watching Qi Qi's face all the time, showed a gentle smile when he met the child's clean and bright eyes like a newborn deer. He ran his five fingers through the child's soft and thick hair, and nodded slightly: "Well, very pretty."
"Lü, can I go there?" Qiqi refers to the forest not far away. In winter, because of the thick ice on the ground, Lil was afraid that she would fall, so he didn't agree to let her run too far, so Qiqi could only stay in the forest. Play within the bounds of the law.
As time goes by, the small forest that is close to the boundaries stipulated by the law but not within the boundaries has become the most yearning existence in the hearts of children.
Ritsu lowered his eyes and thought for a while, finally nodded in agreement under his angry and watery eyes.
The goal was achieved, and the pitiful gaze that was just like a little squirrel begging for food was immediately replaced by a sly look. The dark pupils rolled around, obviously unable to hold back the joy. If there is a fox tail behind the child, then now It must be raised high triumphantly.
Taking the other party's small expression into his eyes, Lu sighed helplessly and amusedly, then bent down, stared at the girl who had a similar face to his own, and said softly, "Do you remember what I said?"
The woman's white and slender fingertips lightly brushed the corners of the other's eyes, and stroked the child's fine forehead hair behind the white jade-like ears.
"Yeah." Qi Qi squinted and rubbed against the woman's palm like a small animal, and said with a smile: "When in danger, I will run back to find you."
. . . . .
He patted the dirt on his clothes, looked around in disappointment, and chased away the butterfly on his shoulder in every possible way.
A child's interest in one thing generally doesn't last long. After running to the forest four or five times, he loses interest and loses his original momentum.
Do you want to seek the law to expand the boundaries?Otherwise, wandering around these places every day will suffocate people to death.
Just as he was thinking like this, a burst of crying suddenly came from nowhere.
"Help, help me."
This voice pinched the girl's voice, soft and soft, with a crying tone that made people feel distressed involuntarily.
She was stunned for a moment, and walked towards the direction of the sound without thinking too much. She pushed aside the grass and shouted: "Who is it? What's wrong?"
As soon as the words fell, a wild beast suddenly jumped from the depths of the grass, with a bloody mouth and a mouthful of fangs, attacking vigorously.
Almost at the same instant, the astonishment in the child's eyes was immediately replaced by ferocity. She drew out the dagger worn at her waist without hesitation, and the cold blade cut across the air with an extremely fast cold light that could not be detected by the naked eye.
The child's eyes turned fierce, and he pursed his lips tightly, without any hesitation, he only heard a puff——
The cold blade was completely inserted into the beast's head along the flesh.
The beast let out a low growl of pain, and fell down with a high and thick neck as if all its strength had been taken away.
The flying dust clouded his eyes.
After taking a breath, the child approached cautiously in an attacking posture, and kicked the motionless beast. It was a wolf-like animal, covered with black and gray hair, but with two heads on its neck. At this time, the two heads were leaning against the ground without any movement.
Although Lu and Yuedu love children, they still have a lot to teach, especially because of their special identities, what they learn most is how to deal with threats.
The voice for help stopped for a while and then sounded again, as if right next to my ear.
Glancing at the corpse on the ground angrily, he shouted into the air, "Wait a minute, I'll call for someone!"
"Don't, don't leave!" Hearing that the other party was about to leave, the voice cried even harder, as if terrified: "I will die, please help me!"
Infected by the fear in the other party's tone, she still didn't leave her anger. She gritted her teeth and bent over and ran towards the direction of the voice calling for help.
The ink smudged into a black mark on the paper, and the owner who held the pen frowned slightly, as if something was bothering him.
Yuedu, who was waiting by the side, noticed something was wrong with his lord, so he asked, "My lord, what's wrong?"
Li put down the brush, and the strands of black hair hanging down on the table made the hands beside her look extra white. She rubbed her brows and said, "I'm so angry that she hasn't come back yet."
Yuedu took a look at the sky: "It's still afternoon, so it's okay to get back later. The evil demons and ghosts around have been cleaned up, so don't worry about it."
"I know." Although she was sure of Yuedu's words in her heart, Li frowned even tighter, and tapped lightly on the table a few times with one hand. Her uneasiness was like a lake being hit by a stone. The ripples expand rapidly.
Lv repeatedly picked up the pen several times, but did not write another word on the paper.
"My lord." Yuedu stood up, packed up the rest of the pen and ink on the table, and said simply and neatly, "Go and have a look."
Pushing aside the last clump of weeds in front of him, even though he did not encounter any more danger along the way, he did not let down his vigilance.
She never stepped outside the boundaries set by the law.
This is the first time.
"Wow, it hurts, it hurts."
The sound of the girl crying made Qi Qi clenched the handle of the knife tightly, with fresh animal blood sticking to her pink and round fingertips, she threw away the last hesitation in her heart.
She crossed the line.
Without the cover of overgrown weeds, at the moment when Qi Qi let go of his hand and took that step, everything in front of him became clear and dark at the same time.
There was no familiar scene in front of the child as she imagined, and the extremely thick black covered every part of her sight.
Close to the top of her head are the sharp teeth, which seem to smash through her head in the next second, piercing her easily.
It was a wide-open mouth, and the thick smell of blood collided with the tip of her nose.
The slimy and huge tongue was wriggling at a slow speed right in front of her eyes.
The child didn't even have time to be afraid, she could only raise her head blankly——
At this moment, her whole body is wrapped by this bloody mouth. Once this mouth is closed, the only peripheral vision will dissipate.
"Help, help..."
Something grabbed the tongue of this huge mouth and slowly climbed up from the throat.
"It hurts...I hurt so much..."
The person who climbed up along the throat of the giant beast—it can no longer be called a human being. More than half of her facial features have been corroded by the giant beast's saliva, like a doll that has not had time to carve the facial features. Only the mouth remained unchanged.
"It hurts, help—"
The giant beast's throat moved slightly, and the rotten person who was still struggling to climb up was swallowed so easily.
The arm twitched almost convulsively at that moment, and Qi Qi wanted to hold her, but the extreme fear could only force her to stand still and watch the other party disappear with her own eyes.
At that moment, the forgotten fear finally revived, like a rapidly growing vine quickly tightening the child's heart.
Then the monster shut its mouth.
"Furious!"
The familiar voice pulled back the shattered thoughts, and the child's pupils shrank a little like the tip of a needle.
An irresistible force hugged her tightly, and she almost heard the sound of her bones being dislocated, but in a trance, something exploded in front of her, like fireworks, blood and flesh splashed.
"grown ups!"
Ritsu hugged the stunned child with one hand, while the other was completely pierced by the fangs of the giant beast.
Qi Qi suddenly raised his head, only to see the other party's eyes splashed with ink.
The woman was also looking at her, tightly pursing her discolored lips, and abruptly pulled out her arm from the giant beast's mouth with no expression on her face, allowing the giant beast's teeth to pierce all the way from the elbow to the palm.
She didn't even frown, she didn't seem to feel any pain, it seemed that it was really just a trivial injury.
Obviously that arm was almost divided into two halves, the flesh and bones were opened, and the blood was exposed in the air.
Tsukiyomi gave the monster the last blow with a pale face.
"Lil..." Qiqi shouted out the woman's name trembling uncontrollably, her eyes fell on the woman's injured arm, and she let out a short and hasty scream.
Law didn't speak, and let go of the arm that was holding the child tightly as if trying to melt him into the flesh and blood.
She lowered her eyes, stood up slowly, and left without looking at the child sitting on the ground and Yue Yi, whose expression was fluctuating.
When Tsukiyomi closed her eyes and opened them again, she had regained clarity, and she lifted the child up.
The child panicked and wanted to run to chase after the law, but was pulled by Yuedu, and the girl shook her head at her with a complicated expression.
The candlelight is flickering. Although the coldest winter has passed, the candlelight at night is still faltering, as if it will let go and fall, break up and disappear at any time.
Nuo Da's room was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling.
Ritsu's eyes were lowered, and the hand hanging on one side was barely stitched together when Tsukiyomi tried his best to heal it.
Yuedu packed up the astringent medicinal powder, she thought, the adult's hand was half ruined.
Ritsu was naturally aware of her physical condition, but she didn't show any excitement.Sitting at the wooden table as usual, flipping through the books with his other good hand.
It's just that the hand that flipped the book was trembling slightly.
It's not anger, nor sadness, Tsukuyomi who has been with adults for many years knows——
It was panic, it was fear.
Once the adults show up later, if the adults don't catch up, then all they see at that time is the cold and mutilated body of the child.
"law……"
The little head stuck at the door suddenly popped out, and there was a deep sense of guilt that could not be seen in the angry eyes, and the bright black was dim.
"I'm sorry, Lil..."
As the child said, he leaned forward involuntarily, as if to express the urgency of the master, but in the next second he stiffened and slowly retracted.It's like a puppy who has made a mistake and wants to get close to his owner, but shrinks back.
The poor one could only hide in the corner and stare at his master motionlessly.
Yuedu quietly glanced at Ritsu.
This is the 13th time this child has apologized, but the adults have not opened their mouths once.
I thought that Qi Qi would have to do some useless work again this time, but Yuedu didn't expect that at the moment Qi Qi retreated with his head hanging down, the adult actually spoke:
"If it happened again, would you do it again?"
This sudden question stunned Yue Duhe for a moment, but the two quickly understood the meaning of Ritsu's words.
If it happened again, would you still save that person?
She trembled angrily, she wanted to say "no", but in the end she still said "yes."
Tsukiyomi closed her eyes, thinking: It's over.
Ritsu and Yuedu taught the child a lot, but they didn't teach her to lie.
Anger doesn't lie.
"But, if you know that Ritsu will get hurt." The child suddenly raised his head and said, "I would never do that."
Yuedu: ...It seems that there is still salvation.
"I don't know, what if you don't know that I will get hurt? Angry." Li's tone seemed to soften, but it was strangely mixed with deliberately concealed anger and coldness.
There was a smile on the woman's face, but there was no warmth.
"What would you do?"
"...I, I will still save her."
There was a sudden silence in the room.
This kind of silence is terrifying, like ants gnawing at the heart bit by bit.
"Go out." The smile on Lu's face disappeared, and the coldness in her eyes slowly swallowed the last warmth. She looked at the child in front of her indifferently.
"Go out and kneel. Wait until you change your words before getting up."
Children don't lie.
So this kneeling was kneeling for a day and a half.Coupled with being angry and guilty, she was willing to be punished, as if she was really going to kneel until the end of time.
The tiny figure was kneeling in front of Ritsu's room.As long as you look up, you can see it.
However, Ritsu never looked up even once.
No matter how long the child knelt, Lu had read as long as he had read without closing his eyes once, as if he was being punished for being angry with him.
After the child couldn't hold back the drowsiness once, his body softened and he knocked his head on the ground, and his scalp was broken and bled.
Law accidentally tore off the page in his hand.
By the third day, when the child finally passed out.
It seemed that something terrible was about to burst out of Ritsu's eyes that had never been closed, and all the emotions piled up to the climax at that moment.
At that moment, she was no longer calm and rational, and her tyranny almost spewed out.
Under the care of Yuedu, Qiqi quickly woke up, her eyes were black and blue, and her lips were dry and white.
Her spirit hadn't gathered yet, so she opened her eyes in a trance, and the first thing she wanted to do was to kneel down.
Yuedu was about to be laughed out of anger, and gave someone a shudder with a blank face. After being so angry, he blinked for a while with watery eyes, and muttered, "Yuedu, why did you hit me?"
It seems that people are awake.
Yuedu handed her a glass of warm water: "Qiqi, are you sure you don't want to go to the adults?"
"I..." The child held the teacup, pursed his lips and shook his head: "I can't lie to her. I don't want Li to get hurt, and I don't want her to be angry, but I can't..."
Only then did Yuedu realize that they taught Qi Qi very well.
Because they wanted their children to be ordinary, they taught Qiqi kindness, which made Qiqi choose to save the person he had never met countless times.
Also because they want their children to be ordinary, they teach their children to be selfish.Therefore, after learning that Ritsu would be injured, Qiqi chose to give up saving that person.
I always thought that the fulcrum of balance is too complicated at this moment.
This is the first time that Yuedu felt powerless.
"Qiqi, do you know." Wiping off the water stains around the child's mouth, Yuedu said softly, "Master, she is not angry because you went to save others, nor is she angry because you were injured."
Rather, before meeting Qi Qi, the adults never cherished themselves, but deliberately put their own lives behind them again and again as if seeking death.
After getting angry, adults learn to cherish themselves, because this child's life is as long as theirs, so adults want to continue to live.
Because only by surviving can this child be protected.
"Then why are you angry?" He asked blankly.
"When my lord and I arrived, do you know what kind of scene was presented in front of us?" Yue Du said: "If you are one second late, you will be bitten off the head of the evil monster."
"Have you ever considered what your lord's mood was at that time?"
"A demon of that level is nothing to an adult, it only needs a spell to wipe it out."
"If it wasn't you who was in the mouth of the demon at that moment, but someone else, my lord wouldn't be shaken at all... My lord, I wouldn't be hurt at all."
"Because it's you, adults will get hurt."
The child's pupils dilated slowly, the corners of the eyes gradually became red, and the tears seemed to break through the water of the river. She clenched Yuedu's sleeves tightly, biting her lower lip with her teeth, trying to swallow all the sourness that erupted in her throat.
Ritsu wasn't going to get hurt.
But seeing her in danger, Riri used his body to stand in her way.
Without any thought, he held her in his arms and protected her like instinct.
Because I worry about her, because I cherish her.
……
The sunlight outside the house poured from the windows, like scattered pearls and jade.The woman's hand on her forehead was slowly lowered because of her nap, she opened her eyes, her eyes were calm, as if no matter what happened, there was no way to break the lifeless blackness.
She sat there like a piece of cypress abandoned in the cold winter for thousands of years, the whole world was far away from her, and she was so willingly forgotten in that world of ice and snow.
It was an eerie silence.
"law."
The uniquely immature voice of a child broke a gap in the silence.
There seemed to be a faint light overflowing from within.
When she didn't get an answer, she curled her lips in frustration, but soon she clenched her small fists and didn't flinch like before. She stepped forward and ran over with a thud.
Then he rushed over and hugged the woman tightly.The child buried his head in the woman's abdomen, trembling slightly.Soon, the woman felt a burst of warm moisture in her abdomen.
Li still didn't speak.
The child's shoulders trembled more and more, and a weak sobbing sound that was deliberately suppressed slowly escaped from the child's mouth.
Those hands still hugged Lil's waist tightly, as if he couldn't push it away.
In this silence where there was nothing but crying, Li finally sighed softly, her eyes touched the child's swollen and bruised knees exposed outside the clothes, her brows and eyes were soft and distressed: " What's wrong, does it hurt?"
The child shook his head desperately, her injury was nothing compared to what Lu received.
But after she understood Yuedu's words, all the pain on her body magnified several times in an instant.
Especially the heart, the heart that has not suffered any injuries, is the most painful part.
Law lowered his head and took the child into his arms, patting Qiqi's back gently with his cold fingertips, calming down the crying child who was almost out of breath.
"Law, I, I was wrong."
The woman clapped her hands.
"I clearly promised you that I would go to you first when encountering difficulties... But I didn't do it. I made you worry and hurt you..."
While sobbing, the child tried hard to express himself.
——Qiqi, at that time you could come to the adults, but you didn't.
——The adults are angry because you easily put yourself in a dangerous situation. You don't know what kind of danger lies ahead, but you still insist on going your own way.
"Law..." the child showed all his apologies, "I was wrong."
And the woman also gave all her tenderness and softness to the child. She held the child's flushed face from crying, and dropped a kiss on the corner of the child's eyes as gently as a breeze.
"Ok, I know."
The author has something to say:
I knock like Lil's.
The hoodoos that were brought to sleep along with the winter glaciers will wake up during this season.
The land is covered with clean and bright green, and this emerald sea seems to extend to an endless end. The mountains in the distance are covered with sporadic wild flowers, attracting colorful butterflies.
The child opened his eyes wide, staring brightly at the rarely seen vigorous and beautiful scenery in front of him.
The alternation of the four seasons here does not follow the laws of the present world. In a hundred years, winter has accounted for half of it.
So this is the first time Qiqi has seen spring.
Different from the false illusion described in detail in the book with cold language, what unfolded in front of her eyes was the real, colorful scenery like a scroll.
"Law, so beautiful!"
The child was full of joy and admired the scenery in front of him, the eyes of the night were astonishingly bright at this moment, the sun's rays refracted in the child's eyes, reflecting a piece of water, like a flower bud just poked in the early spring, stained with the morning sun first exposure.
Lu, who had been watching Qi Qi's face all the time, showed a gentle smile when he met the child's clean and bright eyes like a newborn deer. He ran his five fingers through the child's soft and thick hair, and nodded slightly: "Well, very pretty."
"Lü, can I go there?" Qiqi refers to the forest not far away. In winter, because of the thick ice on the ground, Lil was afraid that she would fall, so he didn't agree to let her run too far, so Qiqi could only stay in the forest. Play within the bounds of the law.
As time goes by, the small forest that is close to the boundaries stipulated by the law but not within the boundaries has become the most yearning existence in the hearts of children.
Ritsu lowered his eyes and thought for a while, finally nodded in agreement under his angry and watery eyes.
The goal was achieved, and the pitiful gaze that was just like a little squirrel begging for food was immediately replaced by a sly look. The dark pupils rolled around, obviously unable to hold back the joy. If there is a fox tail behind the child, then now It must be raised high triumphantly.
Taking the other party's small expression into his eyes, Lu sighed helplessly and amusedly, then bent down, stared at the girl who had a similar face to his own, and said softly, "Do you remember what I said?"
The woman's white and slender fingertips lightly brushed the corners of the other's eyes, and stroked the child's fine forehead hair behind the white jade-like ears.
"Yeah." Qi Qi squinted and rubbed against the woman's palm like a small animal, and said with a smile: "When in danger, I will run back to find you."
. . . . .
He patted the dirt on his clothes, looked around in disappointment, and chased away the butterfly on his shoulder in every possible way.
A child's interest in one thing generally doesn't last long. After running to the forest four or five times, he loses interest and loses his original momentum.
Do you want to seek the law to expand the boundaries?Otherwise, wandering around these places every day will suffocate people to death.
Just as he was thinking like this, a burst of crying suddenly came from nowhere.
"Help, help me."
This voice pinched the girl's voice, soft and soft, with a crying tone that made people feel distressed involuntarily.
She was stunned for a moment, and walked towards the direction of the sound without thinking too much. She pushed aside the grass and shouted: "Who is it? What's wrong?"
As soon as the words fell, a wild beast suddenly jumped from the depths of the grass, with a bloody mouth and a mouthful of fangs, attacking vigorously.
Almost at the same instant, the astonishment in the child's eyes was immediately replaced by ferocity. She drew out the dagger worn at her waist without hesitation, and the cold blade cut across the air with an extremely fast cold light that could not be detected by the naked eye.
The child's eyes turned fierce, and he pursed his lips tightly, without any hesitation, he only heard a puff——
The cold blade was completely inserted into the beast's head along the flesh.
The beast let out a low growl of pain, and fell down with a high and thick neck as if all its strength had been taken away.
The flying dust clouded his eyes.
After taking a breath, the child approached cautiously in an attacking posture, and kicked the motionless beast. It was a wolf-like animal, covered with black and gray hair, but with two heads on its neck. At this time, the two heads were leaning against the ground without any movement.
Although Lu and Yuedu love children, they still have a lot to teach, especially because of their special identities, what they learn most is how to deal with threats.
The voice for help stopped for a while and then sounded again, as if right next to my ear.
Glancing at the corpse on the ground angrily, he shouted into the air, "Wait a minute, I'll call for someone!"
"Don't, don't leave!" Hearing that the other party was about to leave, the voice cried even harder, as if terrified: "I will die, please help me!"
Infected by the fear in the other party's tone, she still didn't leave her anger. She gritted her teeth and bent over and ran towards the direction of the voice calling for help.
The ink smudged into a black mark on the paper, and the owner who held the pen frowned slightly, as if something was bothering him.
Yuedu, who was waiting by the side, noticed something was wrong with his lord, so he asked, "My lord, what's wrong?"
Li put down the brush, and the strands of black hair hanging down on the table made the hands beside her look extra white. She rubbed her brows and said, "I'm so angry that she hasn't come back yet."
Yuedu took a look at the sky: "It's still afternoon, so it's okay to get back later. The evil demons and ghosts around have been cleaned up, so don't worry about it."
"I know." Although she was sure of Yuedu's words in her heart, Li frowned even tighter, and tapped lightly on the table a few times with one hand. Her uneasiness was like a lake being hit by a stone. The ripples expand rapidly.
Lv repeatedly picked up the pen several times, but did not write another word on the paper.
"My lord." Yuedu stood up, packed up the rest of the pen and ink on the table, and said simply and neatly, "Go and have a look."
Pushing aside the last clump of weeds in front of him, even though he did not encounter any more danger along the way, he did not let down his vigilance.
She never stepped outside the boundaries set by the law.
This is the first time.
"Wow, it hurts, it hurts."
The sound of the girl crying made Qi Qi clenched the handle of the knife tightly, with fresh animal blood sticking to her pink and round fingertips, she threw away the last hesitation in her heart.
She crossed the line.
Without the cover of overgrown weeds, at the moment when Qi Qi let go of his hand and took that step, everything in front of him became clear and dark at the same time.
There was no familiar scene in front of the child as she imagined, and the extremely thick black covered every part of her sight.
Close to the top of her head are the sharp teeth, which seem to smash through her head in the next second, piercing her easily.
It was a wide-open mouth, and the thick smell of blood collided with the tip of her nose.
The slimy and huge tongue was wriggling at a slow speed right in front of her eyes.
The child didn't even have time to be afraid, she could only raise her head blankly——
At this moment, her whole body is wrapped by this bloody mouth. Once this mouth is closed, the only peripheral vision will dissipate.
"Help, help..."
Something grabbed the tongue of this huge mouth and slowly climbed up from the throat.
"It hurts...I hurt so much..."
The person who climbed up along the throat of the giant beast—it can no longer be called a human being. More than half of her facial features have been corroded by the giant beast's saliva, like a doll that has not had time to carve the facial features. Only the mouth remained unchanged.
"It hurts, help—"
The giant beast's throat moved slightly, and the rotten person who was still struggling to climb up was swallowed so easily.
The arm twitched almost convulsively at that moment, and Qi Qi wanted to hold her, but the extreme fear could only force her to stand still and watch the other party disappear with her own eyes.
At that moment, the forgotten fear finally revived, like a rapidly growing vine quickly tightening the child's heart.
Then the monster shut its mouth.
"Furious!"
The familiar voice pulled back the shattered thoughts, and the child's pupils shrank a little like the tip of a needle.
An irresistible force hugged her tightly, and she almost heard the sound of her bones being dislocated, but in a trance, something exploded in front of her, like fireworks, blood and flesh splashed.
"grown ups!"
Ritsu hugged the stunned child with one hand, while the other was completely pierced by the fangs of the giant beast.
Qi Qi suddenly raised his head, only to see the other party's eyes splashed with ink.
The woman was also looking at her, tightly pursing her discolored lips, and abruptly pulled out her arm from the giant beast's mouth with no expression on her face, allowing the giant beast's teeth to pierce all the way from the elbow to the palm.
She didn't even frown, she didn't seem to feel any pain, it seemed that it was really just a trivial injury.
Obviously that arm was almost divided into two halves, the flesh and bones were opened, and the blood was exposed in the air.
Tsukiyomi gave the monster the last blow with a pale face.
"Lil..." Qiqi shouted out the woman's name trembling uncontrollably, her eyes fell on the woman's injured arm, and she let out a short and hasty scream.
Law didn't speak, and let go of the arm that was holding the child tightly as if trying to melt him into the flesh and blood.
She lowered her eyes, stood up slowly, and left without looking at the child sitting on the ground and Yue Yi, whose expression was fluctuating.
When Tsukiyomi closed her eyes and opened them again, she had regained clarity, and she lifted the child up.
The child panicked and wanted to run to chase after the law, but was pulled by Yuedu, and the girl shook her head at her with a complicated expression.
The candlelight is flickering. Although the coldest winter has passed, the candlelight at night is still faltering, as if it will let go and fall, break up and disappear at any time.
Nuo Da's room was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling.
Ritsu's eyes were lowered, and the hand hanging on one side was barely stitched together when Tsukiyomi tried his best to heal it.
Yuedu packed up the astringent medicinal powder, she thought, the adult's hand was half ruined.
Ritsu was naturally aware of her physical condition, but she didn't show any excitement.Sitting at the wooden table as usual, flipping through the books with his other good hand.
It's just that the hand that flipped the book was trembling slightly.
It's not anger, nor sadness, Tsukuyomi who has been with adults for many years knows——
It was panic, it was fear.
Once the adults show up later, if the adults don't catch up, then all they see at that time is the cold and mutilated body of the child.
"law……"
The little head stuck at the door suddenly popped out, and there was a deep sense of guilt that could not be seen in the angry eyes, and the bright black was dim.
"I'm sorry, Lil..."
As the child said, he leaned forward involuntarily, as if to express the urgency of the master, but in the next second he stiffened and slowly retracted.It's like a puppy who has made a mistake and wants to get close to his owner, but shrinks back.
The poor one could only hide in the corner and stare at his master motionlessly.
Yuedu quietly glanced at Ritsu.
This is the 13th time this child has apologized, but the adults have not opened their mouths once.
I thought that Qi Qi would have to do some useless work again this time, but Yuedu didn't expect that at the moment Qi Qi retreated with his head hanging down, the adult actually spoke:
"If it happened again, would you do it again?"
This sudden question stunned Yue Duhe for a moment, but the two quickly understood the meaning of Ritsu's words.
If it happened again, would you still save that person?
She trembled angrily, she wanted to say "no", but in the end she still said "yes."
Tsukiyomi closed her eyes, thinking: It's over.
Ritsu and Yuedu taught the child a lot, but they didn't teach her to lie.
Anger doesn't lie.
"But, if you know that Ritsu will get hurt." The child suddenly raised his head and said, "I would never do that."
Yuedu: ...It seems that there is still salvation.
"I don't know, what if you don't know that I will get hurt? Angry." Li's tone seemed to soften, but it was strangely mixed with deliberately concealed anger and coldness.
There was a smile on the woman's face, but there was no warmth.
"What would you do?"
"...I, I will still save her."
There was a sudden silence in the room.
This kind of silence is terrifying, like ants gnawing at the heart bit by bit.
"Go out." The smile on Lu's face disappeared, and the coldness in her eyes slowly swallowed the last warmth. She looked at the child in front of her indifferently.
"Go out and kneel. Wait until you change your words before getting up."
Children don't lie.
So this kneeling was kneeling for a day and a half.Coupled with being angry and guilty, she was willing to be punished, as if she was really going to kneel until the end of time.
The tiny figure was kneeling in front of Ritsu's room.As long as you look up, you can see it.
However, Ritsu never looked up even once.
No matter how long the child knelt, Lu had read as long as he had read without closing his eyes once, as if he was being punished for being angry with him.
After the child couldn't hold back the drowsiness once, his body softened and he knocked his head on the ground, and his scalp was broken and bled.
Law accidentally tore off the page in his hand.
By the third day, when the child finally passed out.
It seemed that something terrible was about to burst out of Ritsu's eyes that had never been closed, and all the emotions piled up to the climax at that moment.
At that moment, she was no longer calm and rational, and her tyranny almost spewed out.
Under the care of Yuedu, Qiqi quickly woke up, her eyes were black and blue, and her lips were dry and white.
Her spirit hadn't gathered yet, so she opened her eyes in a trance, and the first thing she wanted to do was to kneel down.
Yuedu was about to be laughed out of anger, and gave someone a shudder with a blank face. After being so angry, he blinked for a while with watery eyes, and muttered, "Yuedu, why did you hit me?"
It seems that people are awake.
Yuedu handed her a glass of warm water: "Qiqi, are you sure you don't want to go to the adults?"
"I..." The child held the teacup, pursed his lips and shook his head: "I can't lie to her. I don't want Li to get hurt, and I don't want her to be angry, but I can't..."
Only then did Yuedu realize that they taught Qi Qi very well.
Because they wanted their children to be ordinary, they taught Qiqi kindness, which made Qiqi choose to save the person he had never met countless times.
Also because they want their children to be ordinary, they teach their children to be selfish.Therefore, after learning that Ritsu would be injured, Qiqi chose to give up saving that person.
I always thought that the fulcrum of balance is too complicated at this moment.
This is the first time that Yuedu felt powerless.
"Qiqi, do you know." Wiping off the water stains around the child's mouth, Yuedu said softly, "Master, she is not angry because you went to save others, nor is she angry because you were injured."
Rather, before meeting Qi Qi, the adults never cherished themselves, but deliberately put their own lives behind them again and again as if seeking death.
After getting angry, adults learn to cherish themselves, because this child's life is as long as theirs, so adults want to continue to live.
Because only by surviving can this child be protected.
"Then why are you angry?" He asked blankly.
"When my lord and I arrived, do you know what kind of scene was presented in front of us?" Yue Du said: "If you are one second late, you will be bitten off the head of the evil monster."
"Have you ever considered what your lord's mood was at that time?"
"A demon of that level is nothing to an adult, it only needs a spell to wipe it out."
"If it wasn't you who was in the mouth of the demon at that moment, but someone else, my lord wouldn't be shaken at all... My lord, I wouldn't be hurt at all."
"Because it's you, adults will get hurt."
The child's pupils dilated slowly, the corners of the eyes gradually became red, and the tears seemed to break through the water of the river. She clenched Yuedu's sleeves tightly, biting her lower lip with her teeth, trying to swallow all the sourness that erupted in her throat.
Ritsu wasn't going to get hurt.
But seeing her in danger, Riri used his body to stand in her way.
Without any thought, he held her in his arms and protected her like instinct.
Because I worry about her, because I cherish her.
……
The sunlight outside the house poured from the windows, like scattered pearls and jade.The woman's hand on her forehead was slowly lowered because of her nap, she opened her eyes, her eyes were calm, as if no matter what happened, there was no way to break the lifeless blackness.
She sat there like a piece of cypress abandoned in the cold winter for thousands of years, the whole world was far away from her, and she was so willingly forgotten in that world of ice and snow.
It was an eerie silence.
"law."
The uniquely immature voice of a child broke a gap in the silence.
There seemed to be a faint light overflowing from within.
When she didn't get an answer, she curled her lips in frustration, but soon she clenched her small fists and didn't flinch like before. She stepped forward and ran over with a thud.
Then he rushed over and hugged the woman tightly.The child buried his head in the woman's abdomen, trembling slightly.Soon, the woman felt a burst of warm moisture in her abdomen.
Li still didn't speak.
The child's shoulders trembled more and more, and a weak sobbing sound that was deliberately suppressed slowly escaped from the child's mouth.
Those hands still hugged Lil's waist tightly, as if he couldn't push it away.
In this silence where there was nothing but crying, Li finally sighed softly, her eyes touched the child's swollen and bruised knees exposed outside the clothes, her brows and eyes were soft and distressed: " What's wrong, does it hurt?"
The child shook his head desperately, her injury was nothing compared to what Lu received.
But after she understood Yuedu's words, all the pain on her body magnified several times in an instant.
Especially the heart, the heart that has not suffered any injuries, is the most painful part.
Law lowered his head and took the child into his arms, patting Qiqi's back gently with his cold fingertips, calming down the crying child who was almost out of breath.
"Law, I, I was wrong."
The woman clapped her hands.
"I clearly promised you that I would go to you first when encountering difficulties... But I didn't do it. I made you worry and hurt you..."
While sobbing, the child tried hard to express himself.
——Qiqi, at that time you could come to the adults, but you didn't.
——The adults are angry because you easily put yourself in a dangerous situation. You don't know what kind of danger lies ahead, but you still insist on going your own way.
"Law..." the child showed all his apologies, "I was wrong."
And the woman also gave all her tenderness and softness to the child. She held the child's flushed face from crying, and dropped a kiss on the corner of the child's eyes as gently as a breeze.
"Ok, I know."
The author has something to say:
I knock like Lil's.
