Ye Suikong felt that he had a long, long dream.
In the dream, there are blood and fire, sinking and depravity, as well as betrayal and loyalty.
In the dream, he experienced the death of his relatives, he was nirvana in the raging fire, he had a deep love, and he also had a monstrous hatred.
But when he woke up, he found himself lying on a soft and comfortable bed, the afternoon sun was shining warmly on his bedside, and the freshness of leaves and the fragrance of flowers and plants in the air lingered at the tip of his nose.
Ye Broken Sky looked around, and saw a peaceful hut.
There is a light gray quilt, and there is a desk by the window.
There are a few old books on the table, and two or three pens randomly inserted in the pen holder, everything looks peaceful and casual.
"Where am I? Am I dead? Heaven or hell?" Ye Suikong asked himself in his heart, but when he saw the little soldier sitting on the chair by his window who had already fallen asleep, he immediately reacted come over.
I didn't die.
Ye Suikong quickly recalled what happened last night.
Everything was going according to his own expectations. He had already arranged everything after his death, and he had also anticipated everything that would happen after his death. Even the people who were buried with him had been locked by his side.
Later, he felt something drilled into his heart, and then, he lost all senses and sensations.
At that time, he thought that he would die, and that those who listened to him would also die. He said something he had never said to anyone, but he never thought that he would not die.
Ye Suikong's eyes fell on the soldier who was leaning on the chair and had fallen asleep. The soldier's back was leaning on the back of the chair, his head was tilted back, his mouth was opened because of his deep sleep, and it seemed that there was still saliva flowing out. .
Ye Suikong remembered everything that happened last night, and quickly guessed everything.
He tried to get up, but there was a sharp pain in his chest that tore his heart and lungs, and the pain caused him to fall on the bed.
This movement woke up the sleeping soldier.
Wu Xingyun woke up suddenly, wiped his saliva carelessly, and then looked at Ye Suikong.
When he saw Ye Suikong's eyes open and looking at him, Wu Xingyun exhaled, lay down on the bed with a puff, and continued to sleep.
Wu Xingyun was really tired. When he took out the bullet for Ye Suikong, he did it under the threat of death from more than a dozen mutants.
From the wedding, to shooting Ouyang Liu, to the accident on the wedding night, and to taking out the bullet for Ye Suikong, he never rested, and his mind was highly concentrated.
Another leader of the mutants, Bi Jin, threatened Wu Xingyun viciously, if Ye Suicong died, he would drag Wu Xingyun out a hundred times.
When he took out the bullet for Ye Suikong, his vital signs could hardly be felt. Wu Xingyun had tried his best. Now that he was in the tiger's den, he could only do his best and obey the destiny.
After he couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep for half an hour, Ye Suikong woke up.
Neither of them knew the time, and both thought that a long time had passed.
Ye Suikong saw that Wu Xingyun was falling asleep again, so he pulled him with his hand.
Wu Xingyun woke up suddenly.
After a while, Ye Suikong said, "You saved me? How did you do it?"
Wu Xingyun did not deny it, but spoke objectively: "I can't tell you how I did it, it's a secret...but I didn't do it to save you, I just saved myself and my teammates. And the Federation, it's in Being attacked without any preparation will just fail miserably. I just…”
Wu Xingyun was explaining that Ye Suikong was leaning against the head of the bed, quietly looking at the person in front of him.
After a while, Ye Suikong suddenly said: "I am a person with clear grievances and grievances. I will not give up my hatred just because of you!"
Wu Xingyun began to feel that he should have chosen the ending of both dying together.
Ye Suikong's voice was weak, but he was not sloppy. He looked into Wu Xingyun's eyes and said, "Maybe one day, you will regret saving me. No, I'm sure, you will definitely regret what you did yesterday. decision made."
Wu Xingyun didn't speak, he already knew it would be like this. Damn why didn't his superiors instruct him, an ordinary soldier, to act!
Ye Suikong looked at Wu Xingyun's annoyed expression, and the gloom in his heart disappeared instantly. He laughed softly: "However, in order to repay you for saving me, I...promise you, within ten years, I will not be the same as the one who took the initiative. Go to war with the Federation!"
Wu Xingyun was taken aback for a moment, then immediately raised his head, his eyes sparkling brightly: "Really?"
Ye Suicong curled his lips: "It is written in the peace negotiation book that it will be a hundred years, but you must know that I have never thought about the peace negotiation. But..." Speaking of this, Ye Suicong paused for a while, his gaze It stayed on Wu Xingyun's face, and a faint look appeared in his eyes.
Wu Xingyun knew that this was because he was being used as a substitute again, but he didn't mind this kind of thing too much in his heart, he cared more about the real peace negotiation.
Ye Suikong said slowly: "Originally, the time of peace could be longer, but I know that you don't want to be my husband at all. In your heart... you like someone else."
Wu Xingyun's face was reddish, but fortunately his skin was dark, not too conspicuous, he naturally thought of Wen Nuo, and then glanced at Ye Suikong again, he found that the leader of the Night Demon Army in front of him was observing things Very nuanced.
Ye Suikong's eyes fell elsewhere: "Ten years later, if you still want to go back, I will dissolve this marriage and send you back. But... at that time, it is the time when I am ready to fight again."
Wu Xingyun didn't answer, so he knew that the peace agreement was unreliable, but would what Ye Suikong said now be reliable
Genius knows! !
Ye Suikong leaned against the head of the bed, and after a while he said, "Pour me a glass of water."
Wu Xingyun was stunned for a while, but didn't realize that Ye Suikong was talking to him.
Ye Suikong didn't repeat it a second time, he tried to struggle to sit up from the bed, but every time he moved, it was as if something was tearing his internal organs, and it was extremely painful.
Wu Xingyun didn't go forward to help him either, and just sat there motionless.
Ye Suikong's voice was a little hoarse: "Wu Xingyun, I hope that during the period when you are my husband and wife, you'd better do your best. Do you understand?"
Wu Xingyun let out an "oh", but still didn't react much.
Ye Suikong took a breath: "Pour me a glass of water, help me find a piece of clothing, and then... I'll take you to meet my family."
Wu Xingyun was taken aback: "Didn't your family all die?"
Ye Suikong closed his eyes slightly, his face turned blue. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and said word by word: "Yesterday, I never thought that I would be able to live until today. But since I am still alive, you still My husband and wife, then you should come with me to meet your in-laws on the morning of your first wedding. This is your task, soldier."
Wu Xingyun nodded, and according to what Ye Suikong said, he went to pour Ye Suikong a glass of water, then found him a piece of clean clothes, and helped him go downstairs.
When going downstairs, Ye Suikong pulled his hand out of Wu Xingyun's arm, and put his entire arm on Wu Xingyun's body, so that it didn't look like he was being supported by someone, but like It was like he was hugging someone else.
A group of mutants were waiting downstairs, and there were more mutants standing outside the small building.
Liu Meng, Bi Jin and the others were all on the first floor. They were never allowed to enter the second floor. Except for Wu Xingyun, no one dared to go up.
Now Ye Suikong came down with his husband and wife in his arms, and everyone went up to meet him.
Ye Suikong waved his hand impatiently: "I'm fine, get out of here, I... everything, I'll talk about it after my honeymoon."
The mutants looked at each other, and after a while, they bowed and answered yes, and then left.
Liu Meng was the last one to leave. When he left, he looked back at Ye Suicong, and then saw Wu Xingyun who was half-embraced by Ye Suicong. His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he left without saying anything.
Ye Suikong walked out with Wu Xingyun in his arms. The mutants outside didn't quite know what happened, they just made a fuss when they saw the two coming out, and some even laughed and shouted: "Boss, what happened on the wedding night?" I don't have weak legs, it took me so long to go out!"
Ye Suikong smiled slightly, as if showing off a spoil, and tightened Wu Xingyun in his arms: "From now on, she will be your sister-in-law, come and call someone!"
Wu Xingyun's company was black immediately, but he was already black, so there was no difference at all.
After everyone left, Ye Suikong pointed to a car parked on the road outside the courtyard and asked, "Can this old-fashioned car drive?"
Wu Xingyun shook his head, but immediately nodded again: "I've seen people drive it, it should be quite simple."
Ye Suikong let go of Wu Xingyun, staggered to the back seat of the car, almost fell into it, and fell sideways on the back seat.
Wu Xingyun closed the rear door, sat in the driver's seat, and started the car.
Boom!
The car hit a tree.
Reverse, start again, the car draws s on the road.
After drawing a few S's, the car gradually began to go in a straight line. Ye Suicong closed his eyes and recuperated in the back seat, and said in a tired voice, "You look down at the navigation, there is an end point on it, just drive towards the end point."
Wu Xingyun let out an oh, and stopped talking. The destination was at the edge of the city. Ye Suikong said to see his relatives, but he didn't know why he ran there.
Wu Xingyun was thinking about his own affairs silently in his heart. After a while, he looked at Ye Suikong from the rearview mirror. I saw that the man's face was still pale, but his outline was clear, and his black eyes were half-closed and half-open.
Ye Suikong asked from behind: "Do you have anything to say?"
Wu Xingyun pondered for a while, and finally articulated his doubts: "The ten-year contract...do you still want the bridal chamber?"
"Heh..." Ye Suikong let out a chuckle, "If you don't want to, I... won't force it. I... won't sleep with anyone casually..."
Wu Xingyun heaved a sigh of relief, he was reassured, and a smile couldn't help showing on his face. At this moment, he felt that he was the most relaxed these days.
The car arrived at the destination very quickly. It was an old-fashioned residential building. This kind of residential building is rare even in cities with this architectural style.
Wu Xingyun got out of the car and looked around.
There are some small shops around, but there are no people there. There is a long aisle in front of it. On both sides of the aisle are cement walls more than two meters high, and there are moss in the corners.
Ye Suikong also got out of the car at this time. He stood in front of this aisle, stopped for a while, and then patted Wu Xingyun on the shoulder: "Come up with me and kowtow to the old man."
In Wu Xingyun's etiquette, there is no etiquette of kowtow, but before he got married, he already knew that this was the custom of the night demon army. They are primitive humans on earth and have retained most of the habits of primitive humans. Including wedding bridal chamber, worship parents, kowtow to the elders, and the bride's return home and other etiquette.
Wu Xingyun didn't resist Ye Suikong's words too much. He followed Ye Suikong, walked slowly through the corridor, and then stopped in front of a seven-story residential building.
At this moment, Ye Suikong suddenly reached out and took Wu Xingyun's hand.
Wu Xingyun struggled a bit, and easily broke free.
Ye Suikong frowned: "When I meet my parents, I have to hold hands."
Wu Xingyun said: "I... I'm not used to being held by people, like a child."
Ye Suikong didn't hesitate, he walked in front, Wu Xingyun walked behind him, and they climbed the stairs together.
Ye Suikong stopped in front of a door on the third floor. He took out the key from his purse and inserted it into the lock.
Wu Xingyun noticed that the keyholes of the other two doors on this floor were rusted, but the one Ye Suikong entered could be easily opened.
It seems that Ye Suikong often comes here.
The door was opened, and Ye Suikong walked in, and also pulled Wu Xingyun in by the way.
This is an ordinary three-bedroom room. There is a sofa, a coffee table, and a TV set in the living room. Some of the bedroom doors are open and some are closed.
The decoration is very old-fashioned, so old-fashioned that Wu Xingyun has never seen it in textbooks.
Ye Suikong sat down on the sofa, crossed his hands casually on his knees, and seeing Wu Xingyun looking around, he didn't say a word, but quietly looked at this little soldier who was curious about everything.
Wu Xingyun saw that the three-bedroom apartment was well-equipped, with a kitchen, bathroom, and balcony.
One of the three bedrooms is open and the other two are closed.
The room that opened the door looked like a study room, with bookshelves, a desk, an old-fashioned computer on the desk, and a small bed.
Wu Xingyun was very curious about everything here, and he even had a scene of a family living here in his mind.
The mother is cooking in the kitchen, the son is reviewing his homework in his room, and the father is sitting on the sofa watching TV, maybe occasionally helping with housework.
But now that there was no one else in the room, Wu Xingyun withdrew his curious gaze and asked, "Didn't you say you came to see your parents? Where are they?"
Ye Suikong's voice was calm: "They are all dead. This is where I used to live. After experiencing the end of the world, I have nothing left. Friends, relatives, lover..."
Ye Suikong got up and pushed open a door. The inside of the door was empty. There were some old-fashioned photo frames hanging on the wall. There were photos inlaid in the photo frames. The traces of the photos were blurred, but Wu Xingyun recognized it at a glance. It is airtight and closed, made with the latest federal anti-corrosion technology.
There are three people in the photo frame, a middle-aged couple, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child, with a snow mountain in the background.
The faces of the three people were filled with happy smiles, the middle-aged couple looked a bit like Ye Suikong, and the 17-year-old boy, Wu Xingyun recognized at a glance that it was Ye Suikong himself.
Ye Suicong stood at the door, leaning against the door frame, and said in a faint voice: "This is my parents. That year I finished the college entrance examination and was admitted to the second-ranked university in the country. The whole family was very happy. My parents rewarded me I did well in the exam and took me to Tibet for the summer vacation. But...they never came back. This is the last photo of me and them."
There was no emotion in Ye Suikong's voice, Wu Xingyun looked back at Ye Suikong, and found that the eye circles of this indifferent man were red.
Wu Xingyun looked towards the night broken sky in the photo, the child's face was full of sunshine and longing, and his childish face was full of happiness and joy.
It was very different from Ye Suikong's indifferent and perfect face now.
He always thought that at the beginning of the end of the world, Ye Suikong would be like this now, twenty-seven or eight years old. But he didn't expect that Ye Suikong was just a child that year, a child with innocence and infinite longing for the future.
Ye Suikong walked to Wu Xingyun's side, gently held his hand, and stood in front of the photo, his voice still calm: "Dad, Mom. This is the last time I will see you, I... got married yesterday, because I didn’t expect to come back to life, so I didn’t tell you. Now I’m bringing him to you to have a look. Although... Although she is not what you expected, she is a beautiful girl, but... I think he is not bad, and I don’t want to see him again. Find someone else. From now on, I will live with him. I don't want to remember the past, and I won't come again. "
After saying this, Ye Suikong knelt down slowly, and he pulled Wu Xingyun who was dazed beside him. Wu Xingyun felt a little awkward, but he still respected the other party's customs and knelt down.
Ye Suikong kowtowed three times to the parents in the photo, then stood up.
Wu Xingyun also kowtowed to Ye Suikong, he didn't speak, but when he did this action, he deeply felt the impermanence of the world.
And who could have imagined that the sunny boy back then would become the cold and bloodthirsty Demon Lord who plotted after death.
Ye Suikong watched Wu Xingyun quietly from the side, and when Wu Xingyun got up, he turned around and walked out: "Let's go, let's go back. This place will never come again."
However, Wu Xingyun looked curiously at the other house with the closed door. Among the three-bedrooms, the open one was the study room, presumably it was Ye Suikong's residence.
The other room is also open now, with photos of Ye Suikong's parents hanging on it.
So what is the remaining house with its door closed
Wu Xingyun refused to leave in front of that door, Ye Suikong turned his head, his voice was indifferent: "It's full of him... you won't want to see it, and I... won't come again in the future, there's no need to see it."
Infinite curiosity arose in Wu Xingyun's heart, he knew that the "he" Ye Suikong said was Ye Suikong's dead lover, who looked very similar to him and even smelled the same .
What is that person like
Wu Xingyun stood at the door, looking at Ye Suikong with questioning eyes.
Ye Suikong stayed where he was for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Wu Xingyun pushed open the door.
The door was not locked, and the inside was cleaned extremely neatly.
There are photos on the walls, an ordinary desk, a bunk bed, the upper and lower beds are covered with mattresses, the light gray quilt is neatly folded, and a leather belt is placed on the quilt folded into tofu blocks .
Wu Xingyun walked into the room slowly. At this moment, through the sunlight outside the window, he saw the photos all over the wall.
Those photos were big and small, and the people on them were wearing olive military uniforms, with dark skin and ordinary appearance, but they had an unusually bright smile, showing white teeth that could blind people's eyes.
There is also a full-length mirror at the door, and Wu Xingyun sees his own shadow in the mirror, which is exactly the same as the people in these photos.
Wu Xingyun seemed to see hundreds of himself smiling at him. He felt a strange feeling in his heart. Then, he sat at the desk and opened the drawer.
In the drawer, there is a black pen and a stack of paper, and the black pen is pressed on the stack of white paper.
Wu Xingyun felt strange in his heart. Although the furnishings of this room were slightly different, all the arrangements were the same as the place he usually lives in.
Even, there will be paper and pen in the second left-hand drawer of the desk, and the pen will press on the paper, it's the same.
Wu Xingyun got up slowly, caressing this simple desk, he turned his head and saw Ye Suicong standing at the door, his eyes looking at these photos were as gentle as water.
Wu Xingyun said: "This... is where your former lover lived?"
Ye Suicong nodded, with a hoarse voice: "No... I rebuilt this house according to my own previous residence. This house... I built this house according to his previous habits."
Wu Xingyun snorted, thinking it was probably a coincidence, maybe people with the same appearance have the same habits.
He felt involuntarily under the pillow on the upper bunk.
This is also the habit he has been in the army for many years.
At the beginning, when Wen Nuo was the company commander, he slept on his lower bunk. In the middle of the night, Wu Xingyun would always be woken up by Wen Nuo's snoring, which affected his rest. Later, he thought of a way to stuff a hole under his pillow. Alarm clock, fall asleep listening to the sound of the pointer, and never be disturbed again.
If some habits are coincidences, then there must be no alarm clocks under the pillow, right
With this in mind, Wu Xingyun also reached out and touched under the pillows of the upper bedding.
But before his hand touched the pillow, Ye Suicong grabbed it.
Ye Suikong's voice was obviously displeased and angry, and threatening: "Wu Xingyun, don't mess with the things here!"
Wu Xingyun only stretched out his hand, and he said, "I'm not messing around, I'm just..."
Ye Suikong took a step closer, with repressed anger in his eyes: "I don't allow anyone to touch his things! I've tolerated you enough, but he is the most important person in my heart, more important than all of me. Relatives, parents, and friends are all important, you'd better figure it out!"
Wu Xingyun let out an "oh" and stopped talking.
Ye Suikong threw Wu Xingyun out of the room, and with a bang, he closed the door forcefully.
One of the two was locked in the room and the other was locked outside the room.
Wu Xingyun raised his head slightly the moment the door closed, and suddenly saw the photo on the wall.
The little soldier in the photo, who looks the same as himself, is grinning at himself, his teeth are so shiny that it is impossible to look directly at him.
Wu Xingyun waited quietly in the living room, he could hear the painful whimpering of the night broken sky in the room, the kind of mourning and hissing like a wounded beast.
He knew that Ye Suicong was crying bitterly in that room, and was in so much pain for his lost lover.
Wu Xingyun waited quietly outside, he regretted that he opened the door and opened many things that Ye Suikong had forgotten.
It's only the first day of marriage, and my husband is deeply missing his old lover. As a little soldier, I seem to have failed at work!
A little bit of time passed, and the setting sun pulled everything in the house out of its usual shadow.
The closed bedroom door was opened abruptly, Ye Sukong walked out of the room calmly.
With an indifferent look on his face, he walked up to Wu Xingyun and fixed his eyes on the person in front of him: "I won't come again in the future, let's go back!"
Wu Xingyun didn't ask any more questions, he could tell that Ye Suicong was in a very bad mood now, and he was even more worried that if Ye Suicong was overly sad because he missed his old lover, he would die. Because in that case, the peace talks between the two sides would fail, and Lima would go to war. So, Wu Xingyun wisely didn't say anything, and didn't ask any questions.
After the two went downstairs, Ye Suikong raised his hand slightly, and a lighter appeared in his hand.
With a snap, Ye Suikong ignited the lighter and threw it into the dead leaves around the small building.
The dead leaves burned immediately and spread to the surroundings, and the building was engulfed in flames not long after.
Everything in the past has completely dissipated, and the last memory of Ye Suikong was burned away with a fire.
Wu Xingyun was driving, and in the rearview mirror, he saw the fire in the building where he was just now, and thought of everything stored in that room.
Photos, desks, papers, pens, neat bedding, full-length mirrors, and an alarm clock that he has not yet verified and does not know whether it exists.
Wu Xingyun asked: "Why are they all burned, what a pity."
Ye Suikong's voice became a little lazy: "Yesterday, before dying, I thought a lot, and at the last moment, I even felt relieved. But then I found out that I was still alive, and I felt that people cannot live in memories forever .I want to forget the past and start over."
Wu Xingyun did not speak again, but he knew that Ye Suikong's phrase "forget the past" was impossible.
Because everyone's present is made up of the past, and no one can really forget the past, because it means that he is no longer him.
