His embrace had no warmth, but it still made me feel inexplicably at ease. I often wonder, what would it be like if he regained his true form?
Can you be like a normal person and give warmth and love to your loved ones?
I didn't struggle, but let him hold me and fell asleep.
In my dream, I actually saw Aya. He was meditating on the top of a mountain. Next to him was the small wooden sword I gave him. He was wearing a Taoist robe, and he looked like he had something like that.
He didn't even show surprise when he saw me, as if he knew I was coming to see him.
On the contrary, I was extremely surprised because he said to me: "Alian, you are here!"
I instantly felt, is this really Aya? Can he speak?
Why is this voice so familiar?
After thinking for a while, I remembered that this was the voice that told me to 'move forward and don't look back'.
That person turned out to be Aya!
I walked towards him in surprise and asked: "Aya, can you speak now? How are you doing here?"
He nodded slightly and said with concern: "Alian, he didn't hurt you, right?"
I was still immersed in the joy of Aya being able to speak, and I didn't react for a while. After thinking for a long time, I realized that the 'he' Aya said should refer to Bai Zimo.
"Aya, you have known about Bai Zimo's existence for a long time, right? Did you give me the peach core specifically to prevent him from waking up?" I know that my feelings towards Bai Zimo are different now, and I don't want to in front of Aya. Pretending, he asked directly.
Aya sighed softly: "It's a pity that my skills are too low to help you. You will have to rely on yourself from now on!"
When Aya couldn't speak before, I told him about my dream. Maybe he always thought that the white snake on his body would harm me, so he thought of using this method to help me.
But when did he become a Taoist?
He seemed to see through my thoughts and smiled gently: "Actually, I have been learning from the master, the Master Mu you call me, but no one has noticed."
I was shocked, it turned out that he had been hiding so deeply.
If Bai Zimo hadn't woken up soon and he was worried that something was wrong with me, he might have continued to hide it.
"Why did you take this path? Is it because you had a congenital defect and wanted to change yourself?" Although I was extremely reluctant to mention his congenital defect, I couldn't help but ask.
I know he won't blame me.
Ever since I was little, he has been like my brother, caring for me.
But he shook his head: "Alian, it's not a bad thing to be born with a defect. I don't want to change anything, I'm just doing it for you!"
I don't know whether I should be happy or sad. He should have his own life and shouldn't make any changes for me.
"Aya, I know you do it for my own good, but my life is my own. I will choose the path I want to take, and the same goes for you. Stop living for others. We should all live for ourselves, do you understand?"
In fact, I think these words are too light and unconvincing, but I can't find any better words to say.
He looked at me deeply: "Actually, this is what I want to say to you, Alian, you should live for yourself, not because of anyone else!"
As soon as he finished speaking, I woke up.
When he woke up, he was still lying in Bai Zimo's arms.
Doesn’t this damn snake have any self-love?
I wanted to punch him, but looking at his beautiful face, I couldn't do it.
"Wake up!" He looked at me with crooked eyebrows and a natural smile.
It makes me feel as normal as an ordinary couple waking up hugging each other in the morning.
This guy knows how to manipulate me and knows that I like Wenrouxiang!
But now I didn't have the heart to think about this, but said hurriedly: "I just dreamed that Aya could speak. Bai Zimo, do you think this dream is true?"
"I think about you every day and I dream about you at night. You're just too worried about him. Besides, isn't it a good thing for him to be able to talk!" He let go of me, turned over and sat up, straightening his clothes and hair.
Don't tell me, this is still a neat snake.
But what he said makes sense. If Aya could really speak, it would be a great help to his life.
As long as he's good, it doesn't matter.
Thinking about yesterday's appointment with his adoptive father to go to town today, he asked Bai Zimo, "I'm going to town with dad today. What are your plans?"
"Of course I will follow you. Now we can't live without each other!" He shook his silver hair, quite proudly.
I don’t know who can’t live without whom. Anyway, it’s impossible for me to live without him.
narcissism.
"You're like this, aren't you afraid of being seen as a monster?" I looked him up and down. Don't tell me, if this is a monster, it's a good-looking one.
"You have been a freak for so many years, what should I be afraid of? Besides, not everyone can see me!" He walked out with an arrogant expression, leaving me with a very chic back.
My dad was in the yard, but he didn't see Bai Zimo. He just called me: "Alian, clean up, let's leave now!"
"So early?" I looked at him in disbelief. Even if we had to walk such a long way, there was no need to set off at dawn.
Something is wrong.
Bai Zimo stood there and looked at me as if he were watching a play.
If I wasn't afraid of my adoptive father being suspicious, I would have really wanted to punch him. Who is he?
My adoptive father didn't notice my expression, he just carried a basket and said casually: "Good morning, cool down!"
Cool?
The weather isn't hot either, so you still want to cool down?
I always felt that my adoptive father was hiding something from me today, but I didn’t know whether I should ask, so I could only say, “Okay, I’ll come right away!”
After I finished washing up, I followed him and walked out of the village.
Bai Zimo was following me. He looked around all the way, as if everything he saw was strange. He really couldn't figure out who this person was, as if he had never seen the world.
I asked in a low voice: "What are you looking at? What is there to see in this ravine?"
But he smiled very mysteriously: "I found something interesting, please leave me alone and go your own way! I'll go take a look!"
With that said, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Scum snake.
I said before that no one can live without the other, so it’s better to just run away when you get the opportunity.
But that’s fine, wouldn’t I be a normal person without him?
I quietly touched my collarbone, and the birthmark was still there!
Well, fate.
It seems that it is not so easy for him to leave.
I glanced at my adoptive father who was walking in front. He was walking very fast, almost as fast as flying. I even heard his breathing become rapid.
"Dad, walk slower, I can't even keep up!" I shouted to him breathlessly.
He then turned around, sweating profusely, and walked back to me and said, "Then you go ahead!"
I walked in front obediently, but I also murmured in my heart, this didn't look like a father and daughter going out for a walk, it was simply a funeral...
As soon as the word "mourning" appeared, I quickly said "poof", what was I thinking, it was bad luck.
When I walked to the entrance of the village, I looked at the ancient maple tree out of habit, but there was no Aya.
In the past, whenever I passed by, he would be there to watch me leave, but now, he is no longer here.
In half a month, I will leave here and go to a distant place. I am both looking forward to it and fearful at the same time.
My thoughts were pulled far away, and I had a lot of random thoughts. Maybe I was walking too slowly. My adoptive father urged me a few times, but then he just walked slowly with me and said no more.
It wasn't until I walked to the place where I saw two rows of black snakes last time that my thoughts gradually came back. I took a closer look and found that everything was as usual here, and there was no trace of the black snakes lining up before.
I calmed myself down, strode over, and said casually to my adoptive father behind me: "Dad, what are we going to eat when we get to town later? Why don't I take you to eat the steamed buns at the school gate? They're delicious." .....”
As I said this, I looked back. I remembered that my adoptive father liked to eat steamed buns. I used to bring them to him when I came back, and he said they were delicious every time.
But when I turned around, I found that he was not behind me at all.
I thought he had gone somewhere convenient, and I was still laughing in my heart. I went out in a hurry, forgetting the convenience, and still solving the problem outside.
But I waited for a long time and didn't wait for him to come out.
Now I became anxious and shouted: "Dad, where are you? Stop hiding and come out quickly, or I won't accompany you to town!"
no response.
I shouted again: "I am no longer a three-year-old child. I don't like to play hide-and-seek anymore. Come out and run!"
Still no response.
My heart began to panic. My adoptive father was not the kind of person who loved to joke. He was so anxious to go to town. How could he play hide-and-seek on the way? Besides, I was no longer the clingy person I was when I was a child.
When I was a child, no one in the village played with me, so my adoptive father often took me to play hide-and-seek in the peach grove. Sometimes I would climb up a tree. He obviously saw me, but he pretended not to see me, and just wandered around under the tree, looking very funny. He searched desperately for me in a hurry, until I couldn't help but laugh in the tree, and then he picked me up.
But I haven't played with him like this for a long time, and it's obvious that today doesn't feel like playing a game.
Where will he go? Why did you leave me alone?
The more I thought about it, the more something was wrong. He disappeared behind me. I had no choice but to walk back, expecting to see him suddenly appear at some corner, and then pretend to be a big bad wolf to scare me.
If that were the case, I would let him have his wish even if I pretended to be afraid.
But I turned many turns and was almost back at the entrance of the village, but I didn't see his shadow.
The strong uneasiness made my heart beat faster. As I walked back, I shouted: "Dad, where are you? You have to come out! I'm almost dying!"
The strange thing was that there was no response, so I started running back, wanting to go home and see if he had returned home halfway.
The village was very quiet, except for my voice calling, no one spoke.
But I don’t have time to care about other people now, so I just rush home.
I don't know what I'm worried about, but I always feel like something is going to happen.
When I got home, the lock was still on the door, just like when we first went out. So, my adoptive father had not come back.
So where will he go?
I remember he carried a basket when he went out. Could it be that he was going up the mountain?
But he was obviously going to town with me, so why would he run up the mountain alone?
There are so many mountains in this village, where do I have to look?
Normally, I would think it was normal if he didn't show up for a whole day, but it was different today. We went out together, and there was no way he would just disappear without saying hello.
Something must have happened.
But what can he do if he is a village doctor?
At this moment, I suddenly remembered, did someone come to him for an emergency and he didn't have time to tell me?
But I quickly dismissed this idea. Let alone whose family had an emergency illness. Even if someone came to see him with an emergency illness, he would come to his home first. It was impossible to stop him halfway. Moreover, we set off at dawn. No one was seen.
Just when I was so anxious, Bai Zimo suddenly appeared. I seemed to have found a savior. I was about to run to him and ask him to help me find someone, but I saw that his white clothes were stained with blood, and that picture There were a few bruises on his originally flawless face.
He seemed injured.
I became even more anxious, rushed over to support him and asked, "Bai Zimo, what's wrong with you?"
But he just uttered two words: "Let's go..."
