Chu Qing stood up from the threshold and looked at Shigonghu with respect. "Never draw your sword easily. When you have to take it out of its sheath, you must win." The man raised his chin and gave the young man advice, "This world is extremely scary. When you are scared, you can close your eyes for a while and enter your own heart. "
"Heart." The young man lowered his head, and in front of his eyes was the scene of Gongyue laughing with tears in his eyes, "What is the so-called heart..."
"I still don't understand." The two of them sat on the wide threshold together, staring at the empty White Feather Hall.
"Have I ever mentioned to you that I admire a girl of noble birth? Tsk! How should I describe her status?" Chu Qing noticed that Shi Gonghu's eyes were fixed on the white feather throne in the distance. "But the truth is even more complicated. Before I fell in love with her, the girl had an engagement with me, and my father arranged the marriage for me. At that time, I was unruly and mistakenly believed that marrying a wife would only hinder my progress. , If I were not so willful and followed my father's decision, my life would probably be turned upside down." It is not difficult to feel his strong regret from Shi Gonghu's tone, and even Chu Qing couldn't help but feel regretful, "How can you fall in love? A stranger whom I have never met? When I did fall in love with her at first sight, I found out that she was actually the woman I was originally engaged to, but I had already rejected her and she had married someone else. "
"This is like fate playing tricks on people!" Chu Qing shouted angrily.
"Maybe, but do you believe in fate?"
The young man was hesitant and whispered, "I don't want to believe that if destiny really exists, then wouldn't all our efforts be in vain? If the future is a foregone conclusion..."
"Stand up first." Shigonghu grabbed the young man's arm from the threshold, unbuckled his belt, turned the Xiyu Sword around, and fastened it to his right waist again. "All the past has been woven into a web, and I am the poor guy bound in it who cannot escape, and you are the new-born crow, fly away from the ground and go to the sky to bite."
After bidding farewell to the Shigonghu, Chu Qing returned to the warehouse at the entrance of the east city. The blind warrior locomotive's curtains were stacked on the ground, and some maintenance tools were displayed in the corner of the warehouse. The warehouse was filled with the pungent smell of rust deposits. There were many old items that could no longer be used and should be discarded. The ground was also covered with heavy dust. When the young man wanted to lean over to grab the broom, Xi Yu's scabbard lightly collided with the ground. The light that poured into the warehouse from the half-open iron door reminded the boy that he had found a dusty box in this warehouse not long ago, which contained two watches. There was nothing special about the watches themselves, and the timing symbols were also invisible. It's just ordinary oriental characters "one, two, three...twelve", but there is a red pointer like a compass at the bottom of the dial. Perhaps it is a common additional function of the watch. The metal shell attached to the wrist is printed with the word "Ice". Coat of arms of the country.
He wanted to repair the two watches and give one of them to Miyazuki as a gift. But the difficulty of this work was far greater than expected. In desperation, he had no choice but to ask for help from the Gong family's weapons master Zhou Mi Mi, who might know some watchmakers.
The young man decided to try his luck again today. The weapons workshop is not far from the east gate. The weapons master with a gray beard and a wrinkled forehead is standing in front of a long table and studying the drawings. A magnifying glass and a burning pipe are placed in his hands. The breech-loading gun held by Chu Qing is in the form of a sketch. Draw on paper.
