It rained very rarely in the desert.
The temperature in the prison is slightly lower than usual. Unlike the outside world, raindrops fall from high altitude. Most of the rainwater has evaporated before it hits the ground. The water vapor in the sky is floating in the air. Only a few raindrops fall on Li Tianlan. .
Li Tianlan sat quietly in front of the desert prison door, looking at the sky in the distance, his heart still and motionless.
When disappointment has become the norm, all the emotions in the heart seem to gradually transform into an almost numb silence.
The sky gradually darkens.
Vast amounts of water vapor rose in the air.
The darkness engulfed his figure in the night. Li Tianlan reached out and took off the Xuanyuan Sword that was spinning around him. He reached out and rubbed the delicate blade, his eyes as quiet as the starry sky in the desert.
He would sit in front of the prison gate every day for more than a month. Whenever this time, Xiao Mohai, the warden, would quietly stay near Li Tianlan, sometimes standing there for several hours or even Half a day.
He always felt that Li Tianlan was waiting for something.
But for more than a month, he waited without any response.
Xiao Mohai couldn't feel Li Tianlan's anger and loss, but he could clearly detect that the other party was getting quieter and quieter, as if he had completely suppressed all his emotions in his heart.
The twilight on the horizon completely disappeared.
Darkness enveloped the desert.
Lights came on in front of the prison door.
Li Tianlan was sitting on the edge of the light, with his back to Xiao Mohai. His figure was stretched out under the light, looking lonely and cold.
Xiao Mohai looked at his watch, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but walked over and said softly: "Is Your Highness waiting for someone?"
"No."
Li Tianlan lowered his head and looked at the Xuanyuan Sword passing between his fingers, his voice as calm as water.
Xiao Mohai laughed dryly. It has been more than a year since Li Tianlan came here, but instead of establishing a close relationship with him, Xiao Mohai became more and more in awe of Li Tianlan because he still hasn't figured out Li Tianlan's temper. , he was naturally more cautious when getting along with each other. He looked at the sky in the distance and said softly: "Then... let's go eat first?"
"Not hungry."
Li Tianlan did not raise his head.
"Lao Zhou in the kitchen has made some new dishes today. His Highness should like it..."
"Don't eat."
Li Tianlan stood up and released his palms.
Xuanyuan Sword rotated slowly around him, like a planet surrounding a star.
"I'm going for a walk."
Li Tianlan said.
Xiao Mohai was stunned for a moment and didn't come back to his senses for a while.
Going for a walk
For more than a year, the farthest road Li Tianlan walked was the distance from the dormitory to the prison gate.
He never left the confines of the prison.
This was the first time he said he wanted to go out for a walk.
By the time Xiao Mohai came to his senses, Li Tianlan had already walked out more than ten meters. He hesitated, but didn't say anything more, just sighed softly.
He still didn't notice Li Tianlan's anger and loss.
But I can feel that Li Tianlan is in a bad mood now.
"Dad, where is Your Highness going?"
Xiao Qing trotted over and asked.
"Your Highness is not in a good mood. Let's go for a walk."
Xiao Mohai shook his head: "Inform the kitchen to prepare a few dishes that His Highness likes, and make another one as soon as he comes back."
Xiao Qing groaned and looked at Li Tianlan's back getting further and further away.
A gust of wind blew in the desert at night.
The rain stopped.
The water vapor all over the sky floated slowly, and as Li Tianlan walked along, a layer of mist seemed to appear between the sky and the earth, in a daze and indifference.
This picture is beautiful.
Xiao Qing's eyes were a little obsessed.
... ...
The light behind him gradually faded away, and finally disappeared completely.
The white mist full of rich vitality was floating in the air, but it did not affect Li Tianlan's vision in any way.
The illusory white mist blocks the yellow sand blown by the wind, and there is silence between heaven and earth, silent, silent and desolate.
Loneliness and boredom seem to penetrate deep into the bones.
Li Tianlan walked forward quietly, expressionless.
He didn't know where he was going or what he wanted to do.
The inner depression had turned from the initial torrent into a deep sea, constantly fluctuating in his heart, and even destroying his state of concentration more than once.
For more than half a year, his sleep time has become less and less. His daily deep meditation has almost completely replaced his sleep time. His will continues to condense in meditation, and his swordsmanship is also improving by leaps and bounds. This kind of practice is almost no longer possible. To say that he is working hard is to say that he is working hard.
No one knows why.
Li Tianlan has never told anyone that he has dreamed of Qin Weibai countless times in the past six months.
It started with the acquaintance of the two people.
The succession of dreams was long and clear.
From the first acquaintance to mutual understanding, to the commitment to stay together.
Every thing, every picture, every sentence, every look is repeated in the dream. That figure has really penetrated into the soul, and then started to move in different directions in the 'facts' of the dream. extend.
He dreamed of growing old with Qin Wei.
Dreaming about turning against Qin Weibai.
Dreaming about parting with Qin Weibai.
Countless dreams.
He will meet many people in his dream, and in the end all of them will become Qin Weibai.
He dreamed that Qin Weibai gave birth to a son for him. When the dream changed, the son turned into a daughter again.
He dreamed of standing at the top with Qin Weibai, looking down at the heroes of the world.
I dreamed of passing Qin Weibai countless times and eventually becoming strangers.
In the dream, he ignored Qin Weibai's struggles and curses, tearing off Qin Weibai's clothes.
In the vast ice and snow on a snowy night, a sharp sword pierced his chest.
confusion.
Every dream is extremely clear.
Every dream has a different ending.
Longing turned into longing and came up like a tide.
Li Tianlan wants to ask
Why.
He wanted to see Qin Weibai.
He wanted to ask why he couldn't see it.
He didn't think there was any problem between the two.
The last time they met, there was no anger or quarrel between them.
Then.
There's no after that.
He called her once, but every time it was the knight who answered the phone.
The knight either said she was busy or that she was away.
Li Tianlan forgot how many times he called.
But Qin Weibai never responded.
Gradually, Li Tianlan also fell silent.
For more than a year, the man and woman, who were once deeply in love with each other, had no contact even once.
Why this sentence, he asked the military advisor.
But more than a month later, there is still no answer.
He was indeed waiting for someone.
But for more than a month, he seemed to be waiting for someone who couldn't wait.
what is this
Li Tianlan stopped and sat down in the desert.
He raised his head and looked at the sky.
There are no lights in the desert.
The stars shining in the sky are extremely bright.
Li Tianlan was stunned.
He wrote the words Qin Weibai on the yellow sand with his fingers, recalling every moment of their time together, and his whole body became more and more silent.
The clock is ticking.
The darkness is passing.
The desert was silent, and he seemed to be the only one left in the world.
Everything in the past seems to have become a past event rooted in memory.
Li Tianlan smiled.
He didn't know why, but he just wanted to laugh.
I've seen torrential rains sweep through deserts.
I've seen the stars covering up the moonlight.
I watched Dusk Chasing Dawn.
I want to see you, but I can't see you.
"Why"
Li Tianlan tapped Xuanyuan Sword gently: "Why do you think it is?"
The exquisite sword body of Xuanyuan Sword swayed slightly in front of Li Tianlan, as if shaking his head.
"I am not happy."
Li Tianlan said lightly.
Xuanyuan Sword circled around Li Tianlan, seeming to be thinking.
Its exquisite sword body suddenly vibrated.
A subtle but extremely sharp sword energy appeared in the yellow sand, opening up a large area of white mist.
At this moment, Li Tianlan clearly felt a complex and obscure will.
It's like a test, like a question.
Xuanyuan Sword is eager to try.
Li Tianlan was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
He nodded: "That's fine."
Xuanyuan Sword suddenly made a sword sound.
In an instant, violent sword energy burst out from its exquisite sword body.
The desert is no longer lonely at this moment.
The yellow sand is filled with soaring fighting spirit.
Li Tianlan slowly stood up, looked at the constantly vibrating Xuanyuan Sword, and said calmly: "Let's take action."
