Chapter 42

My heart sank suddenly.

A'Du and I rushed to the closing door.

I heard a loud shout from a distance: "Close the door! Your Highness has an order! Close the door!"

The soldiers started to push forward again in a hurry, trying to close the door.

Seeing that the heavy closing door is getting closer, the light in the middle is getting less and less, those people are desperately pushing the door to close, getting narrower and closer, there is only a gap for a horse, and it is too late. . A’Du’s horse ran ahead, she turned around and wanted to pull me onto her horse, but I raised my hand and whipped her horse fiercely. The horse was in pain, neighed, and finally Jumped out the door.

The door closed slowly, and I saw A Ducang looking back at me in panic. She turned around the pier and tried to rush back, but the heavy door was closed. Her knife had already been inserted into the door, but nothing happened. It can't be changed. The door was closed, the iron bolt came down, I heard her desperately trying to cut the iron bolt, the futile slashing was just a little spark, she couldn't speak, she couldn't make any sound, I looked at the The tip of the knife slashed in the crack of the door, but every knife was in vain.

The Yulin army of the brigade had already rushed up, and I turned around and ran towards the pass until I reached the tower. I crouched on top of the city battlement, and I bent over to see A’Du still beating the city gate alone. How could she be able to shake the gate of such an impregnable gate by herself? I saw her grinning and crying silently, and I suddenly remembered He Shi, he entrusted me to A'Du, so why didn't he entrust A'Du to me. If it wasn't for me, A'Du might not be able to live long ago, just like, if there was no A'Du, I would have already died.

The Turks have been destroyed, A'Du is a thousand times ten thousand times more lonely than I am, and 200,000 people died in the siege of the Yuezhi and the Central Plains, but for such a bloody feud, she stayed with me in the Central Plains for three years for me.

So far, I am only sorry for her.

The Yulin Army had already rushed under the pass, and countless people surrounded Li Chengyin and dismounted. I heard the sound of footsteps behind me, and they went up to the pass.

I didn't have any fear, just stood there quietly.

Li Cheng Yin still had a white gauze tied around his neck. In fact, if my knife was a little deeper, maybe he wouldn't be able to stand here any longer.

He walked towards me alone, and with every step he took, I took a step back. I kept going backwards until there was no way I could go back, and I had retreated to the top of the pheasant. The west wind blew up my jacket, making noises, as if I was at the top of the Forgotten River that day. I stand on the edge of a cliff, and my feet are the abyss shrouded in clouds and mist.

Li Cheng Yin looked at me with deep eyes, and he finally said, "Could it be that you are so reluctant to be my wife?"

I smiled at him and didn't answer.

He asked me, "What's so good about that Gu Xiaowu?"

My heels are already hanging in the air, and only my toes are still standing on the battlement, crumbling. The Yulin army was very far away, watching me silently. And Li Chengyin's eyes were full of intricate pain, as if forbearance, but also as desolate.

I seem to have a dream, everything is the same as it was three years ago, and the past three years have been in vain, but in the end, nothing has changed.

I said, "What's so good about Gu Xiaowu, I'll never tell you."

Li Cheng Yin suddenly smiled: "It's a pity that he is already dead."

Yes, unfortunately he is dead.

He said, "If you go back with me, I will let you go and treat you well. Whether you still miss that Gu Xiaowu or not, as long as you are willing to go back with me, I will never mention it again."

I smiled at him, and I said, "As long as you promise me one thing, I will go back with you with all my heart."

He didn't seem to have any expression on his face, just asked: "What's the matter?"

I said, "I want you to catch a hundred fireflies for me."

He shuddered slightly, and seemed to be looking at me puzzled. My vision gradually blurred, but I was still smiling: "The water of Wangchuan lies in forgetfulness... The divine water of Wangchuan made me forget it for three years, but it didn't make me forget it for a lifetime."

With tears streaming down my cheeks, I smiled and said to him, "It's like you've always forgotten, how wonderful."

He stared at me blankly, as if he didn't understand what I was talking about, and I didn't know my own expression either. I was smiling at him, but I was crying again. I said, "This time, I really want to forget."

I turned around, like a bird fluttering to the sky, like a butterfly fluttering to a flower, I jumped down with determination. I clearly know that there is no Forgotten River here, and there are countless sharp gravels below.

I heard countless people screaming, Li Cheng Yin was in a hurry, grabbed his belt, pulled out his belt, and wrapped his hands around me. Everything, almost like a repeat of three years ago. My whole body was abruptly held in the air by him, and he also fell to the edge of the battlement by the inertia of my downward thrust. He held the battlement brick with one hand, leaned over and pulled me with the other, the blue veins on his hand burst out due to the force, the wound in his neck began to seep blood, and it was about to burst, but he did not let go, but shouted: "Come on!"

I knew that once the Yulin army came to help him, there would be no chance. I raised my hand, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, and he shouted: "No!"

I tore his belt, and the thin silk was torn in the air. I tried my best to give him one last smile: "I want to forget you, Gu Xiaowu."

I saw the stunned look in his eyes, and the blood slowly flowing out of his neck. He seemed to have suffered a sudden and heavy injury, and he even leaned back slightly. I saw blood spurting out of his wound and onto my face. I looked at him with a smile, he seemed to want to hold me in vain, but only a little bit short, his fingertips could only hold the wind, and his mournful voice echoed in my ear: "It's me... Xiaofeng... I'm Gu Xiaowu... "

I know he finally remembered, and this is my greatest revenge on him. The killing he presided over three years ago wiped out the emotions between us; three years later, I used this to cut off everything between us.

I saw him fit and save, maybe he wanted to jump down with me like three years ago, but this is not Wangchuan, he fell to pieces. I saw Pei Zhao holding him, I saw him hit Pei Zhao's chest with a backhand, he must have used all his strength, I saw Pei Zhao vomit blood, but Pei Zhao didn't let go , more people rushed up, dragging him tightly.

The sky is so blue... The wind whistled past my ears, and everything was gradually blurred in front of my eyes.

I seem to see myself sitting on a sand dune, watching the sun go down one by one, my heart gradually sinks, and at the end, the sun finally disappears, blocked by the distant sand dunes, and can no longer be seen. . The sky and the earth were shrouded in darkness, and even the last ray of light could not be seen.

I seem to see the onlookers laughing. Many Turkic people don't believe that the white-eyed wolf king was really killed by Gu Xiaowu, so they still have a hint of contempt. Gu Xiaowu held the bow as if he was playing the piano, and plucked the bowstrings with his fingers. The bowstring clapped loudly, and the laughter of the onlookers grew louder, but he fired arrows in a row amid the roar of laughter, shooting down a hundred bats.

I seem to see countless fireflies flying into the sky, like thousands of meteors passing by our fingertips, when the gods release the meteors, it is like this. Thousands of fireflies surround us, and they fly lightly, dots of fluorescent light scattered in all directions, like the golden light of meteors piercing the night. I think of the song in the song, the god and the person he loves, standing in the galaxy, just as gorgeous and bright as this.

I seem to see myself standing on the Forgotten River, my heels are already hanging in the air, and the wind under the cliff makes me almost unsteady, shaking and falling down at any time, the wind blows my clothes, and my sleeves rattle. It was like a thin blade that kept slapping my arm. He didn't dare to come forward to persecute him again, so I said to him, "I misjudged you at the beginning, but now the country is ruined and my family is destroyed, and the gods punished me for this ordeal." I said word by word, "I will be able to live forever. forget you forever!"

I seem to have seen him lift my hijab on the night of the big wedding. As soon as the hijab was lifted, I only felt that my eyes were bright, and the candles were shining brightly on all sides, shining on his face, his people. He was wearing a black robe with many delicate patterns embroidered on it. A few months ago, under the supervision of Yong Niang, I memorized a copy of the "Ceremony" by heart, knowing that it was Xuanyi, Hushang, and Nine Chapters. The five chapters are on clothing, dragon, mountain, Chinese insects, fire, and Zongyi; the fourth chapter is on clothes, algae, powdered rice, silk, and silk. Weave it. White gauze in the single, sash collar, green jacket, tuck, and skirt. Leather belts, golden hooks, large belts, plain belts not in vermilion, but also in vermilion green, New York used group. The color of the clothes follows the color of the clothes, and the two chapters of fire and mountains are also.

He wears a ceremonial crown, white pearls with nine hairpins, with a group as the tassel, the color is like its sash, the green silk fills the ears, and the rhinoceros hairpin guides, the face is like a crown of jade, and the appearance is dignified.

At that time, I thought I was seeing him for the first time. But I don't know, we have already seen it before, under the vast moonlight of Xiliang.

The last thing I remembered was the tears in his eyes the moment I cut off the belt just now.

But it was too late, we struggled for three years, but still fell in love with each other. This is the punishment given by the gods. Everyone who has drunk the water of the Forgotten River should have stayed away forever and never thought of each other again.

I closed my eyes safely, and in the rapid fall, I was waiting to be shattered.

The force of the fall finally stopped, and the severe pain I imagined still did not come. I opened my eyes, and A’Du’s cool arms embraced me. Although she jumped up with all her strength, no one in the world can withstand such a huge fall. I could almost hear the sound of her bones shattering, and she used her body abruptly as a pad to prevent me from hitting the ground. I saw blood flowing out of her ears, nose, and eyes, and I yelled, "A'Du!" My legs were in severe pain, and I couldn't stand up at all. I struggled to get up, and I was at a loss to hug I picked her up, but the slightest touch seemed to be severe pain. She looked painful, but her dark eyes looked at me, her eyes were as serene as before, and there was no reproach at all. Like seeing me doing something naughty, or like once upon a time, I was going to sneak her out on the street. I held her and muttered her name.

I clearly knew that Xiliang would not be able to go back a long time ago. I obviously want her to go first, but I'm sorry for her, I know she won't leave me alone in this lonely world. And I also know that I will not leave her alone in this lonely world. A'Du has closed her eyes, no matter how I call her, she doesn't know.

I heard the sound of the city gate opening, and thousands of troops rushed towards us. I knew that everyone still wanted to pull me back to that painful world, and bring me back to the deserted East Palace. But I don't want to suffer like that anymore.

I said to A'Du, "Let's go back to Xiliang together."

I picked up A'Du's golden wrong knife, and just now A'Du took it to cut a huge iron bolt, so there were many tiny gaps on it. I inserted it deeply into my chest, but it didn't hurt at all. Maybe the most painful thing in the world I have experienced, death, what is it

The blood gushed out, and I held A'Du's hand with both blood-stained hands, and I slowly fell down beside her. I know we can go home after all.

All temperature and perception gradually left me, and darkness gradually shrouded me. I seem to see Gu Xiaowu, he is running towards me on a horse, I know he is not dead, he just went and caught a hundred fireflies for me.

Now, I want him to put his belt on me so he'll never leave me.

I took my last breath with a smile.

The land is desolate, and it seems that someone is singing that song:

"A fox sits on the dunes, sits on the dunes, and looks at the moon. Alas, it turns out that it is not looking at the moon, it is waiting for the girl who returns from the sheep... A fox sits on the dunes, sitting on the dunes, Basking in the sun... oh... it turns out it's not basking in the sun, it's waiting for the girl passing by on horseback..."

It turned out that the fox had never been able to wait for the girl it was waiting for.
