"Now you understand why I took you to see them."
Christie smiled, a sad, bitter smile.
Ge Sheng looked at her and finally understood something: "After you imprisoned them in the Palace of Black and White, you never went back?"
"Yes, we have never met again." Christie nodded lightly.
"Your identity is a very special person to me, so special that I can divide all the strangers in this world into two categories, one is you and the other is other people."
"So when Yi Lanshan mentioned you in his letter, I didn't want to come at first, but Xia Rang insisted that I should come and take a look."
"So I came. Yes, I didn't recognize you at first. I even thought the princess's shop was my property at first, because the property rights of that small building were under the name of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce. , but Yi Lanshan only has the right to use it."
"But after I saw you, I understood why Yi Lanshan had to fish me out, because there are more things behind you than I originally imagined, and you do have something for me. It’s for personal use, so I invite you to the Palace of Black and White.”
"Yes, I want to use you as an opportunity to negotiate and compromise with them. I don't want to imprison my parents for the rest of my life, but I will not allow my parents to destroy the things I cherish most with their own hands, and you are this opportunity. , although I will pay some costs and take many risks.”
"But I think it's all worth it."
Ge Sheng lowered his head: "But it failed?"
"Yes, it failed." Christie smiled self-deprecatingly: "And the brother and sister made fun of me in their own way. I don't care about all this, but they did more than that."
"The hands and feet on the Gate of Ten Thousand Gates were indeed done by them."
Christie said calmly without a trace of ripples: "But their purpose has never been to kill me, because they themselves also know that this trick will only cause me a little trouble like now. If they want to kill me, they will have to hit me." Except for the great destiny, the only variable is that I will bring you here."
"In the end, mother wanted to keep you, but I refused."
"Because at that time, I thought that if there was an accident next, if there was no one to talk to, even if I didn't care very much, it would be boring after all."
Christie smiled slightly: "Now, boy, I have a question for you."
"My parents didn't do this to kill me, at least they knew they couldn't kill me."
"So why are they still doing this."
Ge Sheng guessed that possibility, but he didn't want to mention it at all.
Christie smiled faintly, her smile was quiet and sad: "Yes, they just want to die."
"The people closest to you can hurt you the most."
"Comparatively speaking, they didn't resent me for showing up at the end of their plan and completely destroying everything in my own way, nor did they feel humiliated or angry because I defeated them in public. Being defeated by their own children was not the most glorious thing. way, but it’s still a gratifying destination.”
"What they are really sad and despairing about is my consistent concealment and deception for fourteen years."
"Although I was born as a deaf-mute baby girl, they never stopped treating me as their daughter. During these fourteen years, no matter at the beginning or at the end, we were the most beautiful family in everyone's eyes. , the beginning of my blindness and ignorance, the end of my talent display, the way outsiders looked at me changed from ridicule and ridicule to questioning and surprise to finally awe and flattery. They were the only ones who stayed the same, even when Douglas personally announced on my fourteenth birthday that I would I am the future successor of the family, and their eyes on me have not changed at all."
"This look lasted until that day when I appeared in front of them as a complete stranger to them."
"I have never regretted all my decisions. The reason for concealing all this is that neither I nor Stella have any power to protect themselves in front of Douglas, although I want to believe that they will accept it and keep this secret for me. , but I dare not put the possibility of my own survival on others."
"Even if that other person is my father and mother."
"Yes, if I could inform them of all this in advance, then this civil strife might not have happened. I could slowly gain the trust of the tribe instead of using such fierce and harsh methods to frighten them. But if everything is lost Without control, I will also die without any pretense and cover."
"Personally, I am not willing to take this risk under any circumstances."
Ge Sheng did not speak, but listened calmly. In many cases, the boy was an excellent listener.
What Christie describes is an unsolvable puzzle.
She is unwilling to risk her own life to confess her identity and abilities to her parents, but hopes that in a certain period of time in the future, when she can protect herself, she can tell everything to her parents like she is telling this story now.
But even though she is an Alaya consciousness, she cannot see the future after all.
With the sudden outbreak of civil strife, she was forced to pull out the deepest thorn buried between her parents and herself. She could not let go of being ruined by her daughter, defeating her in public, and then being imprisoned underground. However, their daughter's long-term deception is the only thing they cannot forgive.
They regard it as the most important treasure, and even launched a rebellion against their ancestors for this treasure. Only in the end were they told that everything was a scam carefully crafted by their daughter. Not only did the reason for their rebellion not exist, the process was even more complicated. A joke.
That feeling of being betrayed and denied everything.
It can never be said.
Both sides did what they thought was right in their own positions, but the results were so sad.
One party is imprisoned underground forever, and the other party will never be forgiven.
They are parents and daughters.
The wind on the island is getting stronger and stronger, mixed with the stronger and stronger smell of sea and water vapor. The predicted storm is getting closer and closer, and thick dark clouds and narrow lightning can be vaguely seen in the distance.
Christie's teleportation array was finally completed as scheduled, even a few hours earlier than she originally expected. After all, it was days and nights of sleepless work.
Ge Sheng looked back at the sky full of gloom and dark clouds.
"Why are all your stories so sad and none of them have a warm ending?"
Christie reached out and clicked the power core into the teleportation array. He turned around and smiled quietly: "Probably because I can see the past, the future has never liked me."
At this time, twilight has already closed, and in the distance there is a wild and noisy storm. Their pioneer messenger has also arrived. The ubiquitous wind howling like a sickle and weasel has already swept everything, and the sharp wind has become the only sound in this world.
"So, can you go? Boy."
Ge Sheng did not move, but spoke softly.
Christie raised her eyebrows slightly and replied lightly.
Ge Sheng smiled and stepped onto the metal teleportation array plate that had been embedded in the stone ground.
Christie looked at the violent storm approaching the island, closed his eyes gently, and seemed to exhale a breath of turbidity.
"I promise you, but before I promise you, you have to do one thing for me."
"What's up."
Christie looked at the island where they spent four days and three nights with each other and said.
"This island is not recorded on any map, so we are the original discoverers. According to convention, we have the right to name it."
"I hope you give it a name."
Ge Sheng thought for a while, recalling every detail of these four days and three nights, and then looked at the raging wind.
"Then let's call it Linfeng Island."
Ye Ye City West Market
The little blue-haired princess sat motionless outside the door of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce.
Although Aoxuehua had assured her of Ge Sheng's safety, in the end, the princess only believed in the truth she saw with her own eyes.
On the other hand, Ye Qing himself had great distrust of the so-called queen whom he had never met.
When she decides to do something, most of the rules in this world cannot restrain her. At this time, she can ignore the college's regulations and skip classes for three days and three nights. If Ge Sheng still doesn't show up after that, She will still continue to wait here.
Until Ge Sheng comes out, or her patience runs out, she goes in by herself.
For any merchant, it is not a pleasant experience to have a little girl blocking the door and trying to please others. Of course, it is fortunate that the name of this merchant is called Glitter Gold Chamber of Commerce.
Although Ye Qing is no longer in the college, she has not missed any of the courses she should take. Just like although she is blocking people's doorsteps and does not even move to sleep, she still holds a copy of "A Brief History of the Federation" and reads it again and again, and eats more. Because Ao no Gensokyo is nearby, there is no need to worry about anything.
However, to a certain extent, the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce and Ye Qing have reached a certain tacit understanding. In other words, although Ge Sheng was abducted by others, Lobel still relies on the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce for his food source, so blocking the door is blocking the door, but Ye Qing didn't do anything else besides blocking the door.
On the morning of the fourth day, Ye Qing slowly woke up from her light sleep. Although the winter had long passed, the spring was cold. The blanket sent by the little girl Shi Ke was wrapped around her body. When she was sleepy, she saw The person he was waiting for walked out of the door.
Ge Sheng seemed to be fine. Apart from his tattered clothes and slightly thin face, he looked sleepy, but there was no visible damage to his health.
Then at the next glance, Ye Qing saw the woman beside him.
But strangely enough, the first impression of the girl whom Ao Xuehua described as one of the few in the world and unparalleled in the world was so ordinary, or in other words, unbearable.
If Ge Sheng only looked a little tired and embarrassed, then correspondingly, this woman looked extremely dirty, embarrassed, messy, and ugly.
Her entire body was covered in unpleasant-smelling mud and tree sap mixed with dry and wet mud. Her short hair, which might have been beautiful, was tangled up in the mud and her original color could not be seen. All her clothes had long been broken into scattered strips of cloth. , even the skin cannot be covered in many places, but even if the skin is exposed, the previous skin color cannot be seen at all.
If he really had to describe it, Ye Qing even tended to compare her to a rag that had been used for several years and was thrown into the mud and fished out. Not only was it dirty and worn out, but it also exuded an unpleasant smell. stench.
For a moment, Ye Qing even felt that his previous worries and uneasiness were a complete joke.
However, this feeling only lasted for that moment. To be precise, it lasted until the other party spoke.
"How about it, your princess is waiting here."
Ye Qing listened to the quiet and elegant voice of the dirty and unpleasant-smelling girl, with a hint of teasing and narrow-mindedness.
It seems that her image at this time has no connection or impact on her.
Ye Qing stood up, took a step back, and looked at this strange guy: "Who are you?"
"Christie." Christie replied concisely: "My full name is Christie Croft."
Ye Qing smiled, with a hint of hostility in his smile: "Then you are Her Majesty the Queen."
I have never seen such a miserable and ugly queen.
Christie smiled and nodded: "If you think so, you are the princess, right?"
Ye Qing just smiled lightly, without confirming or denying. She walked straight forward, grabbed Ge Sheng's hand, then turned back and said calmly: "Brother, let's go."
Ge Sheng did not resist, and he clearly knew the reason why Ye Xiaojiu was so unhappy, so he just looked back at Christie and left with Ye Qing.
He followed Ye Qing for two steps, and the girl suddenly stopped and turned back to look at the dirty Queen seriously.
"I forgot to tell you that I don't like you."
Christie squinted her eyes and smiled, with no emotion in her smile: "That's such a coincidence, I don't like you very much either."
Then she looked at Ge Sheng, her expression indifferent and quiet: "Okay, I decided to see more of the world."
Just as Ge Sheng was about to answer, Ye Qing yanked him away and pulled him away. Ge Sheng had been getting along with Ye Xiaojiu for a long time and knew that it was better not to disobey her at this time. Besides, he would also tell the story of the past three days. Although there was little hope, he would tell Ye Qing in detail and without any concealment what had happened in the past three days, as well as the three secrets that Christie had revealed on the last day, intentionally or unintentionally.
From the bottom of his heart, Ge Sheng did not want Ye Xiaojiu to conflict with this Christie, because anyone who knew Christie would understand that Ye Qing was simply a toy in front of her.
Christie looked at the brother and sister who were gradually moving away without a smile on her lips. She did not look back and spoke calmly without any command: "I want to take a shower and change clothes."
Scarlett's huge figure appeared silently. She remained calm when she heard the words and only responded with a low voice.
So a graceful and graceful woman walked out of every shop in the entire West Market. They all walked out of the shop in unison, then turned around and took down the wooden doors and plaques of their own shops. Occasionally someone tore off the horizontal banners and silk hanging outside the shop door, and then They came to Christie together, using those gold or wooden plaques as the skeleton, the store door as the brick wall, and banners and silk as decoration. In just a few moments, they built a strange building on the streets of West Market. In a building, someone turned the huge copper bell in the shop upside down and moved the whole thing into the building. From each shop, a copper basin of water and an account book were brought out. The water was poured into the copper bell, and the account books were piled on top of the copper bell. The bell was ignited, but within a moment, raging flames were seen under the bronze bell, and there was a faint mist of water vapor above it.
Christie nodded lightly: "With today as the limit, I will let go of everything before, but if there is any adultery or violation of law in the future, I will blame me for being unkind."
Scarlett lowered her head and responded, "What the head of the family said is absolutely true."
Christie showed a slight smile: "You are a lion, but others can't learn it. You learn to flatter a horse very quickly."
Scarlett's huge body swayed slightly: "How can the head of the family not know whether this subordinate is sincere?"
Christie stopped responding and walked straight towards the huge bronze bell. With every step she took, a piece of heavy and shabby clothing fell off her body. When she finally came to the bronze bell, she was already a naked girl's body.
But no one dared to look up.
From Scarlett, the celestial monster, to the young girls who had built the bathroom before, they were all half-kneeling on the ground with their heads lowered. No one dared to look at her naked body.
Christie looked at the boiling water without a smile and pursed her lips in self-mockery.
"Compared with the world, this pot of boiling soup is so lovely."
Then he jumped down gently without splashing.
