How do you ask me to trust you?
Huo Ying looked straight at Ning Xia with her black eyes and said.
This woman from the Western Region is so beautiful that she can be called a celestial being.
But Huo Ying looked at her with almost no emotion at all.
It's like being able to see through Ningxia's skin.
Obviously Ningxia is the older one.
The candle shadow swayed quietly by the window.
Ningxia finally laughed, her voice soft.
"I have no idea."
"Because after I was rescued, I was brought to that person."
"He asked me, how do I want to choose my future path?"
"Want to die with your family? Or live and face the world alone?"
Huo Ying didn't speak, just looked at Ning Xia.
"And since I've lived to this day." Ning Xia smiled slightly and said, "Of course I chose the latter."
"What happens next?" Huo Ying looked at Ning Xia and said, "Or, what about before?"
"Whether it's after or before, it can be considered a long story." Ning Xia said lightly: "But if you want to hear it, or you told a long story before, then I will repay you. Let’s take a short story.”
"The origin of the story begins with that small village by the oasis. When I was a child, I often went to herd sheep with my brother. Watching the lambs as white as clouds eating among the green grass, I once thought, This is probably my life.”
"Although many people now think I'm good-looking, at that time I never felt any different about myself. If things continued normally, I would just be an ordinary shepherdess who milked goats and horses every day. My life would be endless. There will be so much change and weirdness.”
"Perhaps this is what the so-called fate tricks people."
"Probably because you only know how to cherish something after losing it. In fact, many times when I wake up from my sleep, the scene I dream about is either running in a sea of fire, or herding animals in the grassland."
"Life is hard because you can't get what you want." Huo Ying said quietly.
Ning Xia smiled: "Yes, you can't ask for it. In this world, sometimes the things you can't ask for are too much."
"Anyway, I still remember that evening, when I came back from herding sheep with my brother. The sunset that day was particularly red. You could see large swaths of flaming clouds that made half of the sky red."
"We saw on the hillside these masked men on horseback rushing into the village and started killing people one after another."
"We heard the screams of adults and the desperate cries of women, and we saw the fire coming out of the village."
"My brother was trembling in my arms and asked me what to do."
"How do I know what to do? I am just a nine-year-old shepherdess who has not received any education. I am illiterate, do not know martial arts, and do not know any big principles. In my life, I can only herd sheep. Shear the sheep, milk the cows, herd the sheep, cut the grass, and feed the sheep.”
"I originally thought I would grow up like this, then marry a young man in the village, have children, and continue to herd sheep, cut wool, milk sheep, herd sheep, cut grass, and feed sheep with my children."
"I thought this was all there was to this world."
"And now, someone has broken into my world, shattered everything I was familiar with, and forced me into a brand new world."
Ning Xia looked at Huo Ying: "I don't know if you can understand."
"But for me."
"I will never forgive that man."
Huo Ying somewhat understood, but not completely.
In some ways, two people are similar, but completely different.
According to what Ning Xia said, the environment in which Ning Xia lived when she was a child was really a completely pastoral life. She didn't need to be smart or strong.
Because everyone is like this, everyone can be like this.
So she grew up ignorantly and happily in it.
Although if you think about it carefully, this life of sheep herding can be a really hard life.
But live in it, enjoy it, and make these become your daily routine.
It seems valuable again.
"Then what's next?" Huo Ying couldn't help but ask.
"What's next?" Ning Xia smiled: "I didn't understand anything at that time, and I couldn't do anything."
"But I knew at that time that my parents were in the village and they would all die. I couldn't do nothing."
"Then, I waved the sheep whip and drove all the lambs that had been with me for months or years into the village. I watched the groups of white sheep blocking the roads in the village and blocking the road. Those who ride horses.”
“I held my brother’s hand and ran among the sheep, and eventually we reached the door of my house.”
"I saw my father lying in front of the door, holding a rusty sickle in his hand. His chest was completely cut open with a machete. I saw his broken white ribs, exposed red heart, and The colorful intestines coming out of the stomach.”
"He stared ahead with his eyes open, his eyes wide open, and there was a large pool of blood underneath him."
"I rushed up to hug him, but found that he stopped talking to me."
"Behind my father, I saw my mother, whose clothes were torn and covered in blood."
"She scratched her face completely with her nails, her hair was disheveled, and she looked crazy. She probably looked like she was going crazy, so those horse thieves let her go."
"Wanted to burn her alive there."
"I rushed into my mother's arms, but she slapped me away."
"She looked at me blankly and murmured: Ayesha, you are already in heaven, why do you want to come back to this hell?"
"Yes, my name is not Ningxia, my name is Ayesha."
"I said I want to be with my mother and my father, even if I die, I am willing to do so."
"Listen to what I said, mom walked up to me again and slapped me again."
"Live, Ayesha, run away, Ayesha."
"There are bigger places in this world than this grassland."
“But you can’t see it until you live.”
"As she said this, she pushed my brother and I out of the door, and then we saw blazing flames rising from the house."
"My brother was crying heartbroken behind me."
"He asked me if our parents didn't like us anymore and were driving us away?"
"Did we do something wrong to end up like this?"
"If I make a mistake, I'm a good boy. Can't I change it?"
"When I heard him say that, I realized."
"I am a sister, and I have an obligation to protect him."
"I turned around, put him on my back and started running towards the outside of the village."
"Behind us is a village burning with fire."
"And the heart-rending screams and wails."
"I'll tell my brother."
"We did nothing wrong."
"They were the ones who made the mistake."
"And one day."
"We will kill them all."
"No one left, no one left."
"At this time, I heard the sound of horses running behind me."
"The horse thief is catching up."
