From afternoon to dusk, Song Wei bent over and picked up the bodies of twelve soldiers bit by bit on the blood-red muddy ground, trying to put them back to their original appearance.
Jin Miaomiao tried to help several times but was pushed away by him.
"I'll do it myself." Song Wei didn't look at her.
"How can you collect it all by yourself? I'll go with you." Jin Miaomiao said.
"This is my business. They became like this because of me. I should collect the bodies for them. You don't need to intervene." Song Wei continued what he was doing.
Jin Miaomiao stood aside, looking at Song Wei's busy back and listening to him apologizing over and over again in his heart.
It turns out that Commander Song, who was ruthless in the eyes of others, tortured himself countless times in his heart when every soldier under his command died.
What kind of willpower does it take to sustain him to this day?
Jin Miaomiao did not summon the beasts.
She knew that when they came, they would develop an appetite for the flesh and blood of this place, which she did not want to see.
She gave them instructions in a factory not far away: Don’t go out and wait where you are.
But the sensitive crows still circled the factory roof.
They smell death here.
…
Jin Miaomiao did not expect that one day, such a bloody scene would be caused by Xiao Yijie.
The Xiao Yijie who was once as pure as a blank sheet of paper.
She recalled today and everything that had happened, trying to find the reason.
But after thinking about it, it seems that all the reasons are her own.
Once, she gave up on him out of consideration for the family's interests.
Now, it was her who made him misunderstand deeply in order to keep her promise to Song Wei.
But, was what I did wrong?
What choice should be made to be considered complete and not considered harm?
Jin Miaomiao thought she had a headache, so she simply hid in Director Kong's "small field" and closed her eyes to rest.
Now, all the cars were cut into pieces by Xiao Yijie. Only the car in which "Ono" and Song Wei were sitting survived because it was not within the attack range.
After all, the military vehicle was driven by the dead soldier. Jin Miaomiao was not sure whether Song Wei wanted to touch his things, so he chose "Xiaoye".
Fortunately, "Ono" still recognized her. The moment her finger touched the car door handle, it recognized her fingerprint. The door lock flicked open and he opened his arms to embrace her.
Jin Miaomiao retreated into this small shelter like a tired bird returning to its nest.
Looking around, she saw that the placement of all the appliances in the car was exactly the same as when Director Kong used it before, and she knew that Director Kong should have driven the car to accompany him to Song's.
But why did Director Kong let Xiao Yijie drive here alone?
Could it be that he was worried about himself, so he drove here alone without consulting Director Kong?
Thinking about this, Jin Miaomiao thought of those breaking words that Xiao Yijie said in a cold tone, his gray face and withered hands, and the dark space that seemed like the entrance to the region.
Memories are like sharp knives, cutting into the heart.
Jin Miaomiao closed her eyes and her mind sank into the world of treasure books.
She first came to the weapons warehouse and saw that all the cold weapons were neatly arranged inside. They were no longer just shadows like before, but were actually presented in front of her.
She picked up one of the long swords and drew the blade from its well-made scabbard.
The thin blade of the sword reflected her haggard face. The cold sword light and her bloodless complexion contrasted with each other. It was hard to tell which one was whiter.
She sighed and put the sword back on its shelf.
Her eyes shifted and she looked towards the place where the guns and ammunition were originally displayed. At this time, there was nothing there.
As he said, Xiao Yijie really removed all modern weapons.
It turns out that these weapons originally belonged to him...
No, in fact, the entire world of treasure books belongs to him.
Belongs to who he once was.
Jin Miaomiao said to Baoshutian: "I already know that Xiao Yijie is Tang Ren."
Baoshu Tiandi was silent.
Jin Miaomiao continued: "I also know that you originally belonged to him."
Baoshu Tiandi remained silent.
Jin Miaomiao asked: "Since he is back, why don't you go back to him? But you keep following me?"
Baoshu Tiandi answered:
[Tang Ren has given this book to the girl, so I will naturally follow her. 】
Jin Miaomiao: "But you said that marriage lasts for a lifetime, and I am not Kong Qingqiu."
Baoshu Tiandi answered:
【indeed. The girl is just the reincarnation of Qingqiu, not Qingqiu. However, since this book bound Qingqiu in the previous life, it will naturally follow Qingqiu's reincarnation in every life. 】
Jin Miaomiao: "How many lives have you been with me?"
Baoshu Tiandi answered:
【The vicissitudes of life, six reincarnations. 】
Jin Miaomiao: "Sixth life? How long did it take? Then in these six lives, was there Xiao Yijie? It was also...it was also Tang Ren."
She did not read Tang Ren and his memories beyond this life from Xiao Yijie's memory, so she subconsciously thought that she had only experienced these two lives.
Baoshu Tiandi answered:
【One more life. 】
Jin Miaomiao: "Is it my life as a peasant girl?"
Baoshu Tiandi answered:
【Yes. 】
Jin Miaomiao: "If I unlock those memories, can I change Xiao Yijie back to his former self?"
Baoshu Tiandi answered:
【cannot. 】
The two cold words penetrated deeply into Jin Miaomiao's heart.
Jin Miaomiao: "Then what can I do? Can I help Xiao Yijie change back to his former self?"
Baoshu Tiandi answered:
【I don’t know. 】
Jin Miaomiao: "Then why is he like this?"
Baoshu Tiandi answered:
[The distinction between good and evil can be made in a single thought. Blessings and misfortunes have no way out, they are brought upon themselves. Everyone suffers, some people rise to the occasion, while others perish. He chose to be who he is. 】
Jin Miaomiao: "But what has happened has passed, and what will happen in the future has not happened yet. It is possible for me to influence him and awaken him through future things, right?"
Baoshu Tiandi did not answer.
Jin Miaomiao said anxiously: "Answer me!"
Baoshu Tiandi answered:
【I don’t know. This book cannot predict future events. 】
There is no point in further asking about something that even Baoshu Tiandi doesn't know.
Jin Miaomiao: "So, can you tell me, what's wrong with him now? What happened to him?"
Baoshu Tiandi answered:
[Obsession is too deep and goes astray. 】
Jin Miaomiao: "What do you mean? Can you make it clearer?"
Baoshu Tiandi answered:
[He unlocked all his memories. Between good and evil, he chose evil. 】
Jin Miaomiao: "He became like this because of me, right?"
Baoshu Tiandi answered:
[Yes, no. The suffering is too heavy and the obsession is too deep. 】
Jin Miaomiao suddenly thought that maybe in those lifetimes when she didn't exist, there were people or things he was attached to, and maybe he could find a way to pull him out of his obsession from these perspectives.
She asked: "Do you know what he went through in those lifetimes before he met me?"
