Arknights is too real, right?

Flowers bloom with intention, but waking up from a dream leaves no trace.

Xia Feng didn't understand what this sentence meant, let alone why the author of "Earth and Wind" wrote this sentence.

This kind of profound thing is still too far away from him now. The true face of this world is like an onion. After peeling off one layer, there will be another layer, wrapped in layers, surrounded by layers, and it may make you cry in the process of peeling. Flow all over face.

At this point in Xiao Yunye's story, it is getting closer and closer to the present in terms of time trajectory.

Xiao Heng had been with Xina for 30 years, and then he married and had a child at the age of 50. His child was named Xiao Lanfeng. When Xiao Lanfeng was 16 years old, Xiao Heng told him this family motto passed down from generation to generation.

Within a few years, Xiao Heng passed away.

In that era when medical care was very backward, life and death were commonplace, and a disease could easily take away a person's life.

Xiao Heng's wife passed away earlier than him. Before Xiao Heng died, only Xina and his son Xiao Lanfeng were with him. Even though his body was unable to move, Xiao Heng still told his son over and over again to protect Xina forever, because Xiao Heng originally That's what Li told him.

Xina's expression was very sad, and when Xiao Heng's body temperature gradually disappeared, she said softly.

"Ah Heng, thank you."

Xiao Heng closed his eyes and moved the corners of his mouth slightly.

"I am lucky enough to accompany you throughout the world. This life is enough."

After Xiao Heng died, he was buried next to Xiao Li's tombstone. Xina looked at the two tombstones quietly. The way the young Xiao Heng smiled and handed her the pony toy seemed like yesterday.

The sadness in her eyes disappeared momentarily, and Xina raised her head.

"Alan, let's go."

"kindness."

In this way, Xiao Li's descendants have inherited this companionship indefinitely. Time cannot leave a trace on Xina, but every few decades, the number of tombstones in this cemetery will increase.

Xiao Li's tomb.

Xiao Heng's Tomb.

Xiao Lanfeng's Tomb.

Xiao Xingtian's tomb.

Tomb of Xiao Shi.

Tomb of Xiao Shihui.

The chivalrous bloodline of the Xiao family has been completely passed down, and the eldest son of each generation of the Xiao family has fulfilled this guardianship without interruption.

The world is developing rapidly under the power of time. Originium technology has begun to rise at an explosive speed. Countries around the world have invested all their resources in industrial development, and some profound spells have gradually been lost.

In the following years, the name Moxi Mina was gradually forgotten by the world. Like a tear of the times, Xina gradually separated from the mainstream of the world. She remained anonymous and walked around the world in a low profile with the descendants of the Xiao family.

Until one day.

A new tombstone was erected over the grave.

【Xiao Yun's Tomb】

Xina looked at the tombstone quietly. There was no sadness in her eyes, only silence.

A boy of seventeen or eighteen years old stood next to Xina. He was carrying a sword and his face was full of arrogance.

"My dad said, don't add any title after your name. I will call you Sheena from now on."

Xina looked at the young man's handsome face.

"May I have your name?"

The young man drew out his sword and made an exaggerated pose.

"Hey, my name is Xiao Yunye."

Xina looked back expressionlessly.

"Aye, let's go."

"etc."

Xiao Yunye ran to Xina and said seriously.

"I know the family motto passed down from generation to generation in our Xiao family, but there is one more thing I want to do before that."

"What do you want to do?"

A hint of arrogant self-confidence flashed in Xiao Yunye's eyes.

"Give me 10 years, and I will become the number one swordsman in the Yan Kingdom."

The arrogance on Xiao Yunye's face was very familiar. This expression was exactly the same as Xiao Li's back then.

Xina's plain voice came.

"Why do you do this?"

"Because this is what I want to do."

"What do you want to do?"

"Well, life is short, and everyone has goals they want to achieve, so that when I get old, I won't regret this precious life."

Seeing Xina's thoughtful look, Xiao Yunye waved his hand quickly.

"Ah! Don't get me wrong. I'm not ignoring you. Give me 10 years. After I complete this dream, I will fulfill the protection of our Xiao family and help you find that adult. Please."

Xina turned her back to Xiao Yunye.

"Today, 10 years later, we meet here."

After saying this, Xina left alone.

It was past midnight, and the bottle of red wine brought by Hong Dao was about to reach its bottom before he knew it.

The story of Xiao Yunye is basically finished. What happened next is obvious. Xiao Yunye became the number one swordsman of Yan Kingdom with his extraordinary talent. Since then, he has retired from the world and disappeared from people's sight. Until this moment Now.

At the same time, Xia Feng also knew another thing.

Xiao Yunye has never been married in his life, he has no heirs, and the Xiao family will be extinct in his generation.

There is only one way to avoid this helpless ending, and that is to help Xina find that adult during Xiao Yunye's lifetime and complete this companionship that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

It was a task that had not been completed for generations, and it was difficult for Xiao Yunye to complete it, but perhaps this was God's will. Just when he was entering his twilight years, he finally found the [River Styx] in the Gilt neighborhood of Happy City. .

Xia Feng picked up the wine bottle and poured the last wine inside into three cups.

"Mr. Xiao, this story is really heart-wrenching."

Xiao Yunye smiled bitterly.

"People in future generations will feel deeply moved when they hear the full story, but those who passed away in the story have no way of knowing what happens after death. My ancestor Xiao Li will definitely be reluctant to leave before he dies."

Hongdao's voice was also a little melancholy.

"But none of the descendants of your Xiao family have lived up to his last wish and passed down this guardianship from generation to generation. And you have finally fulfilled this century-old agreement and helped her find this master. If Senior Xiao Li is in heaven, If you have a spirit, you will definitely be happy.”

Hong Dao was obviously not good at comforting people, but what he said was very temperamental towards Xiao Yunye.

In fact, Xiao Yunye's entire story was basically talking about other people, and he only mentioned a few words about himself at the end. Of course, even if he didn't say it clearly, Xia Feng had a rough guess.

Xiao Li did not make this promise out of love, but out of righteousness. This can be seen from the fact that he told future generations not to add any title after Xina's name.

Xiao Li is a man of great wisdom. He understands the meaning of eternal life, so he asks his descendants to abandon the false reputation of seniority and only regard Xina as a friend. How to get along with each other throughout their lives, everything is left to chance.

Generations of descendants of the Xiao family have taken over this responsibility since they were young. When they are young and passionate, it is inevitable that they will develop feelings for someone of the opposite sex after getting along with them for a long time. This kind of situation must have happened, especially for a mysterious person like Xina. Teenagers develop a fatal attraction.

This kind of attraction is not vulgar sentiment, but a higher level of admiration, which has nothing to do with appearance.

Xia Feng guessed that there were two reasons why Xiao Yunye never got married and had children.

First, he was infertile due to physical reasons.

Secondly, except for Hina, he can no longer hold anyone else in his heart, but he is too proud to say it openly.

Combined with the fact that he still refuses to leave after completing the mission, it is most likely the second scenario.
