"Enter the Yuan Dynasty," the little white-haired father came close to me, "You saved our Centaur tribe and cured my son's illness. I am really grateful to you... I am willing to give my life to you." I dedicate my life to you!"
The little white-haired dad was very excited and held me tightly with his only arm.
They all still knew that I was going to die.
I smiled bitterly, even if he was willing to exchange blood for me, how could I accept it calmly?
To be honest, I really want to continue to live a good life. There are too many things that I have not accomplished, but this has to be at the cost of other people's lives. I feel that I will be in the shadow of guilt and self-blame for the rest of my life.
Moreover, there is no modern medical equipment here, so blood transfusion is probably not possible. Even if I don't die from the poison, there is still a risk of infection.
To put it bluntly, in my understanding, people with different blood types cannot transfuse each other. What’s more, we still have ethnic barriers. If something goes wrong, wouldn’t I support him for nothing? This is absolutely impossible.
Before I opened my mouth, Chi You had already spoken.
"Your blood is useless. Because you are unwilling, even if you change it, it will fail."
Chi You's expression remained unchanged, as if he was talking about something completely unrelated, as if I, who had been with him day and night for so long, were just a stranger. I understand his coldness. After all, he has lived for so long that he should be numb.
"I just said use mine!" Xiao Baimao cried and shouted, but his hand did not let go of my hand.
"No!" Little Baimao's father waved his only remaining arm and slapped Little Baimao with his backhand, interrupting what Little Baimao had not finished.
"Now, I have long been a loser. My only son was seriously injured and has just woken up. My only daughter..." He turned to me, his eyes were red, and he said sadly, "My only daughter... can no longer get involved. It’s dangerous... people from the early Yuan Dynasty come in!”
I endured the pain in my internal organs and stood up, "I won't, I will never let this happen. As long as I am alive, I will not let Little White Hair be in danger."
She had already broken down in tears and threw herself on me and started to cry loudly. My chest was stagnant and tears welled up in my chest.
The people around me all had stunned expressions. I didn't care about what others thought, so I patted her back to reassure her that it was okay.
The days after that seem to be no different from before. I also take medicine every day. The difference may be that the little white hair is basically clinging to me all the time now. Except for not following me when I go to the toilet, he is basically around me within a meter radius at other times. within.
Those people no longer criticized her harshly. They must have thought that I would die soon.
The same fainting happened twice more, but I woke up each time.
"It's almost time." Chi You said to me.
I think my story may be coming to an end here. At this time, I am no longer as panicked as I was when I first found out I was bewitched. People always have a natural fear of unknown things.
"Don't worry too much, I'm from the early Yuan Dynasty."
Little Bai Mao sobbed in the middle of the night and said softly to her, "I'm just going to change places and continue my adventure. You have to live a good life, you know?"
Her eyes, nose and eyebrows were all red from crying.
"You fool, you turn into a little redhead when you cry."
I took her hand and walked outside the cave. From the other side of the valley, many little bugs flew in. Are they fireflies?
They merged into a starry river of light, flowing in the valley. When the mountain breeze blew, it was filled with the fragrance of the green grass on the little white hair. I secretly and greedily took a deep breath, thinking about it for a long time, and a little longer, to remember this smell.
"Little white hair."
"Um?"
"I love you."
"..."
"Little white hair?"
"Um?"
"I'm gone, just forget about me."
There was another gust of wind, stronger, like a giant's mouth, causing the fireflies' light to flicker unsteadily...
It seems to be raining. Are you crying for me?
I fell heavily on the grass, and the stars in the bright night sky eclipsed all the crystals.
Can I still wake up this time?
Or, continue to repeat this endless dream?
I seemed to have turned into a little firefly and started traveling in the vast universe. Everything was unknown to me and all magical. It was just that the wind was heavy and the rain was heavy. I couldn't help myself and was blown everywhere.
"water..."
Thirst, my throat is burning and as dry as the Sahara Desert.
"you're awake."
Why is he still this old man...
His expression changed from the previous indifference, and he was filled with excitement!
Is this...a happy event?
"Where's the little white hair?"
"Oh, her," Chi You said after a pause. I had a bad premonition in my heart and was about to collapse.
"She and their tribe have set up camp in a safe place. Staying here is not a long-term solution after all."
Little Baimao, are you leaving?
I couldn't believe it and stood stunned for a long time.
I said I will always be with you...Why...why did you leave first...
"You don't really want to be with that little centaur, do you? Their tribe will never allow such a thing to happen, so they have left. She will marry a strong centaur or a thin one in the future. Centaur, but I will never marry you.”
There is a hollow pain in my heart, as if something has been pulled out, including flesh and muscles...
I understand the pressure of reality that Chi You said, but...I didn't expect that she would leave so suddenly, without even saying hello...
"Huh..." I wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes.
"The injuries of the centaur tribe have basically recovered, and they have no reason to stay here anymore."
No matter if she left, she would have to wait for life and death. Who could comfort her for the pain it caused her...
My hands clenched tightly unconsciously, and then relaxed again after a long time.
It's better to leave, we can't spend our whole lives wandering together, and we will only be hurt and die.
"What is this?" I don't know when a scar with a strange symbol was scratched on my hand.
"You gave me a tattoo???" I asked Chi You looking at the scars on my palms and wrists, please! I'm still a minor on my ID card, and you actually gave me a tattoo! body! Got it! ?
"Well, your poison has been cured. What's the fuss about leaving such a small scar?" He returned to his cold demeanor.
This pattern is very strange. It is as tangled as tree roots and seems to have some rules. It is combined into an overall shape, like a banana, more like a waning moon.
Is my poison cured?
"Didn't you say that this poison can only be cured by exchanging blood?"
Chi You was silent for a few seconds, "I, I also suddenly remembered a way, but it happened thousands of years ago, so I didn't think of it for a while."
"Why isn't she willing to wait a few more days..."
"The Centaur tribe knows that your poison has been cured. Don't worry. You can return to the right path with peace of mind. Stop thinking about the long-lasting love between children!"
In the next few days, I continued to take herbal medicine every day. During this period, I also went to the Medicine Valley several times to completely repair the damage to the internal organs caused by the previous poison.
I've been trying to enrich myself so that I don't think about Little White Hair, but no matter what I do, her face lingers. I always feel like there is an empty place in my heart.
"Why do I still have a little pain in my chest?" I asked Chi You while I was busy working in the Medicine Valley.
"Your poison has been cured long ago. The pain in your chest now may be your own emotional injury, which I can't cure."
He replied to me without even raising his head.
Feeling hurt? Am I hurt? Did the word "love" have no sword but make me seriously injured?
It's obviously a good thing for me that she's gone. I don't have to worry about her suffering because of me. But now why is it me who can't let go? Is it too selfish?
Chi You was in the Medicine Valley and tried to teach me how to feel the natural energy, but I couldn't enter at all.
"There are too many distracting thoughts in your mind. If you don't get rid of them, how can you perceive other things? Feel the amount of matter in this world? Let alone absorb the essence." He looked like he hated iron.
I shook my head and asked him. "Don't you have any distracting thoughts in your mind?"
He was speechless. After a long time, he spoke again.
"That's all, let's give it time. Maybe you will gradually understand in the future. You'd better eat more and see how thin you are. I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand the subsequent trials."
He summoned the lantern swing, and I consciously clung to the chain.
Wait, a trial? Why are you here again? ! ! !
The lantern swing travels through the valley, through the thick morning fog, sometimes high and sometimes low. Time in this time and space seems to be different from the dimension I used to live in. I have also spent so many days and nights here, but these four seasons It seems unclear and nothing has changed.
This time we returned to Chi You's cave and it seemed that we were taking a different path than before, and it took a lot longer.
Chi You lowered the lantern swing to a plain on the top of the mountain, and took out a gourd from his robe. He didn't know what was in the gourd. He dropped some into each lantern, and the fire in the lantern became brighter.
"You have to hold on tight."
"I've sat on this thing so many times, don't worry." I grasped the chain again, and the lantern slowly rose into the air with a sudden bang.
What's happening here? Is it broken? The light inside was no longer the faint orange light before, but turned into a light blue.
"Hold on." Chi You reminded me again and grabbed my collar.
"Walk!"
Chi You just finished speaking. My body suddenly lost weight and was pulled up into the sky. The strong speed made it impossible for me to open my eyes!
Good guy, this thing is not broken, but it has a nitrogen acceleration here? !
The speed was so fast that I could only instinctively hold on to the iron chain. The surrounding temperature dropped sharply. I felt like my exposed skin was being cut by a knife. Even my hand holding the iron chain seemed to be frozen. , integrated with the iron chain.
I was blown by the cold wind and tears were streaming down my face. The temperature around me was still dropping, and my nose and tears were frozen into ice!
This old guy, why does he never do psychological development for people and then tortures them like this! !
I want to cry but have no tears. Fortunately, the lantern slowly slowed down. There were ice beads on my eyelashes, making it difficult for me to see the surroundings clearly. My eyes were filled with white snow.
Have I traveled through time and space? Traveled directly to winter?
The lantern landed on a snowy field. I was shivering in the cold wearing only thin clothes. My teeth made a rattling sound, and I couldn't speak a complete sentence. His hands were still frozen by the chains. He had no choice but to send a look of help to Chi You.
