who gave me a song

At the edge of the world is the dividing point between chaos and the world, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people, let alone crossing the edge of the world into chaos.

Of course, the most important thing is that ordinary people cannot survive in the chaos, and they will not find death so much that they have to go here, unless one day they get bored of life and have to die once, which is also impossible.

The border is an area similar to a vacuum barrier, and ordinary people cannot penetrate it at all, let alone walk into chaos through a long journey.

However, there are indeed people living in the border area. Places like this that can be used for human habitation are generally called boundary markers.

Because compared with this huge fringe area, this kind of settlement is so small that it can almost be ignored, so it is called a monument.

Boundary monuments, representing the boundaries of the world, are erected at the edge of the world, as a monument that marks the existence of that monument.

Wangchen is a lonely old man who lives near the boundary marker. He doesn't remember the past, he doesn't remember the past, the only thing he remembers is that he has a little wife.

However, she was dead and buried under the boundary marker.

Wangchen doesn't remember how the other party died, he only knows that when he wakes up from the moment of losing his memory, he is already an old man who lost his partner.

Therefore, his little wife may have died of old age or illness.However, it is more likely to be early, otherwise, why would he have the concept of a little wife in his heart.

It will never be an old couple and a young wife, Wang Chen thinks that he is not that charming.

It has been 100 years now, and he is still the old man who seems to be old, but is actually half as weak as an old man should be.

There are very few other people around the boundary markers, so Wangchen rarely comes into contact with outsiders.One is that he doesn't want to leave here, and the other is because he doesn't want to contact outsiders, so naturally he won't be aware of the abnormality that happened to him.

So from Wang Chen's point of view, his life is ordinary and without any disturbances.Of course, this also includes his heart.

Since the death of his little wife, his heart has also died.

Until one day, a young boy who didn't know where came from the boundary marker, Wang Chen's life finally had some turmoil.

Although, this child is a bit too silent, almost never speaks, but he always has a strong sense of presence, which Wang Chen cannot ignore.

Oh, of course, a big reason may be that this child always follows Wangchen silently, like a little tail that follows him everywhere, never disturbing Wangchen's life, and always affecting him.

At least he is no longer lonely compared to before, because every time he goes out, there will be a particularly conspicuous little tail following him.

Just like that, Wangchen got a new apprentice named Wang Nian.

Wangchen didn't know what he could teach him, so he taught him everything.Including chopping firewood for cooking, weaving and sewing clothes; including poetry, song, composition and music; also including, how to hunt and kill people.

Wangchen didn't know what he used to do, but he knew that he had the skills to kill people.The first time he stabbed a knife directly into a person's skull and easily eliminated the other person, but his emotions fluctuated slightly, Wang Chen had guessed whether he was a killer.

Although later, it turns out he wasn't.

Wangchen didn't understand that his skill was achieved after many years of honing, but it didn't prevent him from teaching it to his only apprentice, that silly idiot.

Although he didn't understand Wang Nian's thoughts, and he didn't want to know why a little child like him would have such emotions for an old man like himself, but he couldn't resist his inexplicable love for him.

And, willing to teach him everything about himself.

From Wangchen's point of view, although he has noticed that the child is following his gaze unusually, the child has not noticed.Therefore, he didn't want to deliberately pierce Wang Nian's unaware emotions. He just thought, maybe, relying on his subtle influence, the child would be enlightened and find out that he only had sympathy for that bad old man or something. ,nonexistent.

Although Wangchen still failed to achieve this goal so far, Wang Nian has a tendency to sink deeper and deeper.

So Wangchen thought, let the apprentice go out for a walk, maybe, after his vision is broadened, his thoughts will be completely different?

However, Wangchen who made this decision felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

It's a pity that Wang Nian didn't want to go out, let alone leave here, as he expected.

Wangchen didn't insist anymore.

After all, he has softened his heart.

Because the moment Wang Chen asked Wang Nian to go out for a walk, he clearly saw the injury in the child's eyes, like a little beast that was suddenly announced to be abandoned.Even though he didn't whimper or burst into tears, Wang Chen was deeply shocked by the despair and pain in his eyes.

He asked, "Ah Chen, don't you want me?"

Yes, Wang Nian never called him Master, just called him Achen.

Although the apprentice's tone was very calm, Wang Chen could hear the deep sadness and heart-wrenching determination in it.

It has to be said that Wangchen felt pity in his heart, and felt that he was too unfeeling for this child in an instant.

So he chose to indulge.

He told Wang Nian: "If you don't want to, forget it."

Even so, Wangchen knew that something was different.

Although the child was still following closely behind him, he became more and more silent, more and more silent...

His eyes also lost their luster more and more, almost turning into a pool of stagnant water.In the end, it became even more uneventful.

It has to be said that Wangchen felt more distressed about this, and became more cruel.

He calmly refused Wang Nian's pursuit, forced him from a silent child to a desperate young man, and watched him sink.

But what can he do, he has no heart.

His heart had already followed his little wife.

Besides, he was no longer young, and he was in two completely different worlds from his little apprentice.

This is why Wang Nian became his apprentice.

Wang Chen just thought of Wang Nian's thoughts, even though he didn't know where the other party's infatuation came from.

Finally, he succeeded, and the little apprentice finally gave up amidst his silent refusal.

Seeing the lifelessness in the child's eyes, Wang Chen felt a piece of emptiness in his heart.

This is an illusion, right?Wangchen thought to himself.After all, at the moment when he woke up for the first time after losing his memory, his heart had already died.

So, how could he feel that his heart was empty?

Looking at Wang Nian who was still silently following behind him, but his eyes had no luster, Wang Chen was at a loss for a moment.

Even, Wangchen began to hope that he could get back his previous memories, those memories that he never cared about before.Then, to tell myself, I'm doing this... there must be... nothing wrong...

Wang Chen has been unable to determine the answer.
