Chatting with Lingling, who has been around for nearly a hundred years, feels very wonderful.
What was only a few days ago for me is an ancient memory of the last century for them.
I'm curious what happened after I was gone.
Maybe it's because time doesn't want me to remember the things of that era clearly, so now I think back, Lingling's face in the past has been blurred, but I still clearly remember that when Lingling said she was going to kill her father, she had a bone-piercing expression. The emotion of hatred, as if wishing to peel it off.
But now, when Lingling mentioned that year again, it was just an understatement: "Lin Zishu killed him, and then I gradually let go of those things."
There will be many things that time may not want people to remember, but sometimes, we have to thank "forgetting" and let everyone become a person who is kinder to themselves and the world.
Lingling and I were sitting on the sofa chatting, and Li Dangdun didn't like to chat very much, but he didn't leave either.
He picked up a chair and sat beside him with his legs crossed. The black dog with a cheap mouth that makes people upset is also very sensible today, surprisingly well-behaved, it jumped on Li Dangdang's lap, curled up his body, and closed his eyes to rest obediently, letting Li Dangdang lazily touch it from time to time Mao, like a puppy.
There was a moment of trance, as if the time had drifted.
Today seems to be not a certain day in 2018, but an afternoon in the col villa in the last century.
At Lingling's home, Li Dangdang, I, Lingling and the rescued little black dog gathered at the dinner table to chat.
Turns out, going back in time isn't really about going back in time.
But it’s not the past after all. Lingling chatted with me for two hours. Her body couldn’t hold on anymore. Before she left, she asked Li Dangdang to take out the magic weapon ring. she.
After Lingling took the ring, she tapped lightly on the setting, and a golden needle pierced out from the setting. Li Dang raised his eyebrows: "Do you want me to stab someone else or yourself in the design of your mechanism?"
Obviously, Lingling hadn't told him that there was a needle hidden in the ring before.
"This needle can only be used once. I thought you might never need it in this life, but you found Sister, so you can use it." Lingling stretched out her hand to me, she already had age spots on her hand , the skin has been wrinkled like dead wood, "Sister, hands."
I stretched out my hand as I said, and after she said: "It doesn't hurt." After that, she pricked me with the gold needle on the ring setting.
It really doesn't hurt. But my finger was still bleeding, and the golden needle quickly sucked the drop of blood into it.
"What are you doing?" Li Dangdang frowned, a little unhappy.
Lingling didn't reply him immediately. The gold needle retracted into the ring setting, and soon disappeared without a trace, but the blood sucked by the gold needle grew like a branch, and a bright red vein grew in the ring, and the red blood thread wrapped around the entire ring like a vine. lap.
"Her blood will be stored in your magic weapon forever." Lingling handed the ring to Li Dangdang, "In the foreseeable future, the human body is doomed to perish, and in the magic weapon, this drop of her blood can accompany you There will be no years for her after passing by."
I was taken aback for a moment, I never expected it to be such a... gift.
Li Dangdang was also stunned on the spot, he did not take the ring.
This blood seems to be a sentence engraved on the ring. This sentence has been reminding Li Dangdang that my short life will eventually leave him.
Perhaps, from the moment I met him, it was the beginning of the countdown, day by day, day by day, day by day.
"I can't lift my hand anymore, don't you want the magic weapon?"
When Lingling spoke, Li Dangdang slowly raised his hand and took the ring, but he didn't put it on his finger immediately.
"I'm leaving, I've been tossing and tossing, it took too much effort, sister, I don't know if there will be a chance to see you again in the future, please take care." Lingling stood up and walked towards the door tremblingly.
Li Dangdang grabbed the ring, put it in his pocket, and looked back at me: "You go back and rest for a while, and I will send her away."
I nodded and watched Li Dangdang give Lingling an arm. Recalling the first time I saw Lingling, she was a girl whose parents ordered her not to jump out of the window. For a while, I thought it was a bit funny, but after laughing, I felt a little emotional again.
At the right time, the black dog squatted on the ground and scratched its ear with its hind paw:
"Su Xiaoxin, go back and exercise more, live two more days, don't die before me." (You go back and exercise more, live two more days, don't die before me.)
I don't know why... Once everyone knows that I am going to be with Li Dangdang, even the cat whose lifespan is much shorter than mine, will start to worry about my lifespan...
Moreover, it's rare that the black dog said this in a way of beating, and I couldn't even arouse the interest in beating it.
"You should also live well for two more days." He said this in a dejected manner, as if Heigou and I were already in our seventies and eighties and headed towards death.
I shook my head and left the room where Li Dangdang looked a little frustrated at this time.
I was walking upstairs, still pondering without boundaries in my heart. Although I didn't explain it to Li Dangdang now, I should have made it clear in my attitude? Then should I move directly to the first floor in the future, and then... I don't have to pay rent.
"Su Xiaoxin."
As soon as I stepped on the stairs on the third floor, I saw a person blocking the stairs. It was a time traveler whom I hadn't seen for a long time—Grandpa All Things Difficult.
I took a slight step back.
Although this skinny old man has never done anything to me, and brought me the gift of "unbelievable love", I am somehow afraid of him, because... even if he is not sure if he is hostile to me , but at least not friendly, sure, just like his eyes now...
He stared at me with some contempt, some disdain, and more impatience and disgust.
"Yes... what's the matter?"
"Someone wants to see you."
"Ah?" I was a little confused, and then a black shadow turned in my mind, and I suddenly realized, "Yes..."
"Yes." He interrupted me impatiently, "It's your unbelievable love. Come here."
After speaking, he turned his head and walked into his room. I hesitated for a moment, then walked in.
I think, no matter what, this is also Li Dangdang's residential building, and everything is difficult is also Li Dangdang's tenant. After living for so many years, they should have basic trust with each other.
Shouldn't kill me.
And... I have something to say, and I have to make it clear to Unbelievable Love.
The room where everything is difficult is very dark, and the room is full of sundries, most of which are clocks, old, modern, and various clock dials and timers that seem to have surpassed the current sense of the times. The times displayed on them are different, but the only thing that is the same is that the hours, minutes, and seconds on the clock and timer are ticking away, making faint sounds, and these sounds come together to turn time into A torrent that can be seen and heard, poured away, and returned to the invisible.
"Where is he...?" I looked around the room, but I didn't see "Unbelievable Love".
It's hard to go to an old clock. The clock is a head bigger than me. The pendulum below is shaking normally, but the hour and minute hands on the top are beating non-stop, and it turns clockwise quickly in a while. After a while, it jumped back two times counterclockwise, and from time to time, it turned three or four times backwards, paused for a moment, and then spun so fast that it couldn't stop.
This... seems like a crazy broken machine.
It is difficult to open the door of the small cabinet of the clock, and under the pendulum that has been shaking at a constant speed, turn left and right, and every time it shakes, the picture behind the pendulum changes once.
Sometimes it is green grass, sometimes it is blue sky and white clouds, and sometimes it is pitch black.
"This is...?" I poked my head in to look around, and I was turning my head to ask about everything, but he pushed my back: "Go in, you, people are inside."
I staggered, and when the pendulum swung to the left, I fell directly into the gap where the pendulum swayed.
When you step in, you step on a void, but it's not completely empty.
It was as if my feet had fallen into the soft ground like cotton candy, and my whole body sank in it, and I couldn't use any strength, and I couldn't climb out. I struggled to get used to it for a while, and finally pulled myself out of the marshmallow.
I looked up and looked around, it was pitch black and there was nothing.
I looked back, trying to find the pendulum that had been pushed in. But what he didn't expect to see was a figure wrapped in a black robe.
I know this figure - Mr. Unbelievable Love!
"Hey! You are really there!"
He appeared in my world before, but this time I seem to have broken into his world.
I walked quickly behind him, wanting to call him, but I didn't know what to call him, so I just straight to the point and said to his back:
"Hello! You want to see me this time, and I just want to see you too. I want to tell you something, I..." I scratched my head a little embarrassedly, "I have someone I like, and this person treats me It's very important to me, so important that I don't want him to be a little bit unhappy, so... Although I don't know why you appear by my side, and I don't know why you told me that you are my unbelievable love, but I still want to take this opportunity today to tell you that I may not be able to respond to your feelings. Sorry!"
With a cheeky face, I finished this paragraph with extremely embarrassing emotions, wishing I could bow 90 degrees to apologize to him. But I didn't expect that after I crackled and said such a thing.
The man in black was silent for a long time, he turned his head slightly, and under the cover of the black robe, I suddenly heard a laugh.
A little familiar, and a little strange.
"Su Xiaoxin, are you sure?"
The man in black turned his head, the black smoke dissipated, and I saw his appearance for the first time, but...
"Lee... blah blah? Lee blah blah!?"
The man in black, I can't believe the love, the person who gave me gifts and skirts and quietly saved me and helped me many times is actually...
plum! hate! hate!
"You..." I pointed at him, stunned for a long time, "Why are you pretending... no, didn't you go to deliver the bell? Hey... that's not right..."
I thought about it carefully. At the beginning of the zombie mother incident, I was bitten by the zombie mother, and the unbelievable love and Li Dangdang followed one after another. Li Dangdang's expression at the time did not seem to be acting. And when Lin Zishu came to make trouble before, Li Dangdang was still in the office and saw the scene of the black-robed man and Lin Zishu fighting in the video, so there was no need to do such a scene.
So this Li Ruanran...
"It's me you haven't seen."
"What's the meaning?"
The black-robed man was not in a hurry to answer my question. He sat down in the dark and patted the place around him. I took a look and found the golden ring on his hand. A trace of blood is flowing.
This was given to Li Dangdang by Lingling before, but now this magic weapon looks much dilapidated.
I walked up to Li Dangdang, and he turned his head to look at me with complicated eyes, and there were too many emotions in it that I still can't understand now.
"Time. My time stopped two hundred years after your time stopped."
This was a bit messy and beyond my comprehension. I looked at Li Dangdang blankly. Li Dangdang seemed to have a much better temper and didn’t hate me. He continued to explain to me: "Your time stops, it’s** demise."
Means... Am I dead
"And the stop of my time is because I chose to stay in this space." He paused, "If calculated according to normal time, my current time is about two hundred years after your death."
I... two hundred years after my death.
"But in this space, my time stops."
"What's the meaning?"
"Everything is difficult, time traveler, people of their family can travel in various time and space at will, they can take a person who has established a contract, travel through time and space once. But only once, if there is a second time, time traveler It doesn't matter to me, but the person who is taken to travel through time and space will be trapped in the gap of time and space, and will never go back to the original time and space, nor can he enter another time and space. The only possibility is caused by the instability of space. Gap, leave here for a few minutes."
"I... saw you 'outside' before, because you went out from the space-time gap?"
"Um."
I was silent for a long time: "Why do you want to make everything difficult and take you through time and space, why... must you do it a second time?"
Li Dangdang turned his head and looked at me for a long time. He smiled, did not speak, and had a gentle expression. All the edges and corners seemed to be smoothed out by the boundless darkness in this space.
He didn't say anything, but I could guess it too.
I am dead, I am dead, and one day in the future, I will die and leave him.
There is no me in his time, so he wants to go back to the past to find me, so there is a second time after the first time, and then he is lost here.
I hung my head and didn't speak.
"It's very lucky, Su Xiaoxin." Li Dangdang said, "It's very lucky to be able to sit with you now."
"I can't even remember you... I didn't even know it was you..."
I remembered what Lingling said, Time doesn't want them to remember me who doesn't belong to that time and space. Likewise, time doesn't want me to remember Li Dangdang who didn't belong to my time.
So, even though I could see his appearance clearly at that time, it didn't take a second, or even a second, this Li Dangdang would become blurred in my mind, turning into a cloud of black smoke, I couldn't see his expression, Don't know his condition either.
The time is now for him, and he is being treated so unfairly.
I started feeling sorry for him again. My eyes were red with distress.
This Li Dangdang made me feel bad in the past, it makes me feel bad now, and even the future makes me feel bad.
He has missed me for two hundred years, he is really a love that I can't believe, and a love that I can't touch, in a distant future that I can't reach.
Suddenly there was a pressure on the top of my head. It was Li Dangdang who saw me bowed my head in silence. He rubbed my head: "I know that everything is difficult. I brought you here to show you what I look like now. What do you want to do. But Su Xiaoxin, don't interfere with my decision."
"Why... don't you turn me into a vampire too? Isn't it like in the movie, after the first embrace, I will become like you, and I can heal and accompany you..."
"Tried and failed."
"Why?"
"Physical reasons."
I didn't dare to look up, I didn't want him to see how jealous I was.
But he must have guessed it all. He stood up, stretched out his arms, and wrapped me in his arms.
"The eternal lifespan makes it hard for me not to understand why people still live so desperately when they know that they will die. What is the difference between humans and moths... maybe there is no difference. Moths live to die, and so do humans." Whispering softly in my ear, like reciting a poem:
"Su Xiaoxin, it was you who gave me the courage to live towards death. You used your life to tell me that life is meaningful, and death is also meaningful. Even if we will end up wandering in the void, every time we meet in the gap, there is still a meaning. Meaningful. I have lived for a long time, but only after meeting you can I truly live."
I couldn't speak any words, I could only hug him tightly in Li Dangdang's arms.
And at this moment, a huge bell rang in the darkness, and Li Dangdang patted me on the back: "You should go back."
I gritted my teeth, pushed him away, and looked at him: "I'll just ask you a question, when will I die."
I want to know the time, and I want to do my best to treat Li Dangdang well before that time.
"It's not important." Li Dangdang smiled. Behind me, a sudden wind blew in, as if a door was opened, blowing my hair and his black robe. He said, "You just need to know , at the last moment, you smiled and closed your eyes."
The wind blew up, and all the tears that were too late to wipe off my face fell on his black robe.
"I will stay here and wait for the next rift to open before meeting you again."
Amid the strong wind, I was dragged out of the darkness.
The pendulum swayed, and with a bang, I was thrown out of the clock.
I fell to the ground, and everything was difficult and I was still standing beside me. I got up and watched the pendulum inside the clock fall. It turned out that the time I was just inside was just a moment when the pendulum of the clock swayed.
If it weren't for everything being difficult and still standing by my side, I really thought I was in a dream.
"Got it." Wan Shi Nan said to me angrily, "This is the ending, this is the result, you should think about it carefully, what you have to pay for being together! For you, every time you see him , is just a few minutes of a few months, but for him, each time is a decade or a few decades spent in the gap of time and space. Thousands of days and nights, boundless The waiting is only for a few minutes to meet. Ask yourself! Is it worth it!"
I didn't speak, just stood up, I took a look at everything, and I bowed to him: "Thank you." After saying that, I turned and left, walked down from the third floor, and returned to Li Dangdang's room the door.
I stood at his door waiting for him.
Waiting until the sun was setting, Li Dangdang came back, wearing a suit and leather shoes, gold-rimmed glasses, and the sharpness in his eyes had not been washed away by time.
He watched me waiting for him at the door from a distance, then he approached me and asked me, "Why are you waiting here?"
"Li Dangdang, everyone is very worried that I won't live long, and I won't be with you for long. If, I mean, if, if I die in a few years, will you still be with me?"
"want."
"What if he dies in a few months?"
"Also."
"And die tomorrow?"
"Then today's minutes and seconds should not be wasted."
I stepped forward, put my hands through Li Dangdang's waist, and hugged him: "Then let's make it clear, this minute, this moment, this second, we will be together."
A chuckle came from above his head, and he reached out and hugged me.
"Well, together."
"Let's go get a certificate."
"Now?"
"Now."
So, I also completed the marriage proposal in one step.
If you want to ask why, then I can only say that my time is very tight, and every minute and every second should not be wasted.
The story ends here, but my beautiful life continues, but it is not humane.
