Supreme pardon

There was no direction in the escape that day. After getting familiar with the unfamiliar streets and through a half-broken map that was snatched, Zhu Ge and others realized that they had gone deeper into the 22nd district by mistake.

But compared to the outer street where they stayed before, although there were more garbage balls thrown on this street, the snatching was more intense.

And half a year ago, for some reason, the interstellar humans set up a lot less large garbage disposal points, and overall the living environment of the entire District 22 became worse.

It would be risky to leave rashly and go to an unfamiliar street. After pondering for a long time, Zhu Ge decided to stay and see the situation, and look for opportunities before walking in.

Wen Renjue's physical condition has improved a lot, at least he doesn't seem to be on the verge of falling anymore, but he still can't do without Bai Tan's personal care. The day before yesterday he went to the window and stood alone, and he looked normal, but the moment he turned around, he couldn't do anything wrong. He fell down, startling Wu Mingzhe behind him.

There is no crystal nucleus in Bai Tan's body, so he is not suitable for going out to fight, and his relationship with Wen Ren Jue is the most suitable for intimate contact.

Helping Wen Renjue wring out the cloth to wash his face, Bai Tan raised his head and looked out the window, the sun was setting slowly, the warm colors of the room and the floor.

"May I help you go to the roof to get some air?"

After the fall that day, Wen Renjue couldn't move on his own, often sitting for a whole day.

Bai Tan was a little worried, "Anyway, Zhuge and the others are coming back soon, there shouldn't be any danger on the roof."

To be honest, excluding the chaotic order and contentious atmosphere here, the environment is excellent and the temperature is very comfortable.

Wen Renjue didn't refuse, he walked by himself, Bai Tan supported him with one hand, the two of them walked side by side, looking from a distance, it really seemed like an old married couple.

"I think there are still people trying to live a normal life here?" Standing behind the barbed wire on the roof, feeling the moderately warm breeze, Bai Tan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Except for the outline of the city 300 years ago, there are still traces of the past ten years in the details.

For example, a newly repaired street lamp, or a house that has just been built.

"The pursuit of quality life is the nature of human beings." Looking into the distance, Bai Tan sighed. The six-storey building they were in couldn't see too far, but it was enough to see the "world" in a small area.

The sun slowly returned to the sea level, and the afterglow of warm colors spread equally on every building. Those collapsed and scattered building signs, including street lamps, cast long shadows under the slanting sunlight.

Maybe it was because of the quietness, or smelling a bit of salty earthy fragrance in the air, Bai Tan's mind was rarely opened up, "I've been thinking about my catastrophe covering my head since I got here, but looking at it now, I'm still alive and kicking." The scenery, is it a favor?"

He uttered random words here and there, Wen Renjue supported the barbed wire fence in front of him with one hand, his eyes were out of focus.

"I've told you a lot about myself, what about you?" Bai Tan turned his head, suddenly very curious about Wen Renjue's past, "Is there anything you can't forget about your childhood?"

He can roughly guess Wen Ren Jue's childhood. In order to avoid touching people's sad things, Bai Tan asked about unforgettable things. He hoped that Wen Ren Jue could say one or two good and happy things.

Under such a soft wind and sunset, even if the world in front of him is a dilapidated world... Bai Tan would still feel hopeful.

Just like a pot of flower soil, seeds will soon break out from under the soil, and no place should be dead forever.

This is a rare opportunity for him to have an equal dialogue with Wen Renjue.

In the past, the other party was either superior or too busy to be seen.

"My mother," Wen Ren Jue really spoke softly, looking aimlessly at the dilapidated buildings in the distance.

"Huh?" Bai Tan's tone was gentle, with hints of encouragement.

Wen Renjue raised the corners of his mouth, and said without emotion: "She was pulled out of the room by people gathered in the village in the middle of the night and used as bait to attract the alien..."

Bai Tan's soft smile froze instantly.

Wen Renjue's tone was still normal, "I was awakened and saw her staring at me, her eyes were full of resentment."

"She doesn't hate the villagers who dragged her out of bed to die, but she hates me."

Bai Tan was speechless, staring at Wen Renjue's side face, his heart was full of regret.

Wen Ren Jue was still not emotional, and said calmly: "She blamed me for all the karma of her life's mistakes."

"Do you know why?"

Wen Renjue suddenly turned his head.

Before Bai Tan had time to restrain the complex expression on his face, he was so shocked, unbelievably distressed and angry.

"why?"

Muttering, he continued to ask questions along the lines.

"Because I'm weak," Wen Renjue said casually, looking up at the alien flying in the sky, "I'm more vulnerable to those who made her miserable and harmed her, and also because she gave me my life." Yes, so she doesn't feel guilty."

"..."

Bai Tan didn't expect to start such a heavy topic, so he could only remain silent.

No matter what he said at this time, it was superfluous.

"Blood relationship is often just owed and repaid. Why do you bother to be so heartbreaking?"

Bai Tan suddenly realized that the question Wen Ren Jue asked at this moment was definitely not just asking himself.

He also wanted to ask those who accused the King of Nirvana of being cold-blooded, those who said he was perverted and bloody, including Shuyi who often stopped and confronted him.

Wen Ren Jue didn't understand, but he never asked before, as long as the kingship could be maintained, he didn't even care.

Asking such a question at this time must be because of his care and Zhu Ge and others' persistence in the recent period.

Bai Tan suddenly became nervous, he was too aware of the importance of his answer at this time.

Tentatively, he said slowly: "So you think that the relationship between parents, children, brothers and sisters is just a debt and a repayment. Our mother raised us, so we owe them, and all the pain we have encountered because of them is just a repayment." ?”

Pursing his lips for a moment, Bai Tan looked straight into the calm eyes of the audience.

Although the man did not open his mouth to answer, his unchanging eyebrows and eyes undoubtedly agreed with what he said now.

"That's not right." After sorting out the words in his heart, Bai Tan stepped forward and grabbed Wen Renjue's palm, staring into his eyes and said seriously: "There will never be any debt between parents and children."

"Your mother, it's not right for her to treat you like that. No matter how much pain and reason she has, she shouldn't treat you like that. All the pain you have suffered is because of her fault."

"Although she gave birth to you, it was her choice to give birth to you. It is not up to you to decide, so you don't owe her anything. Therefore, the suffering you suffered because of her was entirely because of her mistakes."

Wen Renjue's neither resentment nor hatred, it turns out...it's just because he regards these unimaginable pasts as normal.

Bai Tan was finally able to understand some of his views on family affection in the world, and why those who lost their loved ones due to the war did not stir up any waves in his eyes.Even, he never felt their sorrow.

He misunderstood the support and care of his children as a repayment, while the dedication and love of his parents became an investment in his eyes.

"Our parents gave birth to us and raised us because they loved us, and we take care of them in the future, also because we love them, not because we owe them so we are repaying."

"Wen Ren Jue, has anyone ever told you that it was wrong for your mother to treat you like that?"

"If not," Bai Tan put a little more force on Wen Renjue's palm, "then let me tell you that no one can inflict pain on you, and any pain you suffer is not a matter of course."

Bai Tan also wanted to say, so those who died because of your desire or carelessness, they did not owe you or anyone else, and their pain was definitely not because they were sorry to anyone first.

And those weak should not be the targets of the strong trampling at will.

However, too much is too much, Bai Tan worried that if he said too much, it would be counterproductive.

The expression on Wen Renjue's face did not change, but he did not withdraw his hand tightly wrapped by Bai Tan.

Downstairs, figures of Zhu Ge and others began to appear.

Jiang Wei was the first to spot them from the air, and yelled for the others to go upstairs as well.

Zhu Ge was holding the things they had just found back, and seeing Ren Jue and Bai Tan standing face to face on the edge of the roof, he asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"Zhuge."

Hearing people's secret voice.

"Ah?" Zhu Ge was still holding the bag of things in his hand, a little stunned by Wen Ren Jue's sudden depth.

"For you, is there anything more terrifying than death in this world?"

Although he didn't know what kind of fanatic people were asking, Zhu Ge still opened his mouth and said: "Yes, there are too many, for example, there is nothing you can do to prevent the people you care about from disappearing."

"Oh."

"..." Blinking his eyes and looking at his companions around him again, Zhu Ge didn't understand what Wen Ren Jue's sudden deepness and relief was, so he scratched his scalp and said fiercely, "Are you in good health?" Come and blow the air, hurry down!"
