The act of breaking the bread stopped, and the atmosphere became silent for a while. Under the dark night, the orange fire was crackling and burning, and neither of them spoke.

The crumbs on the ground were cleaned up. The dusty little rabbits gestured their faces habitually, probably because they were soft-mouthed and short-handed, and their vigilance towards Qin Shi was not as strong as before, lazily Lie down not far from the fire to keep warm.

Without drawing his attention, Qin Shi looked at the emperor who was bowing his head at this moment, the fire light shone on his face, the shadow of thick and slender eyelashes trembled, his lowered gaze was always facing the ground in front of him, maybe he regretted that he should not Suddenly brought up such a heavy metaphor topic.

"It sounds like you didn't have a very good life before."

As if surprised that Qin Shi accepted his words after a brief silence, the emperor raised his eyes and looked at Qin Shi who was sitting beside him.

The other party's expression didn't change much, except for the emotion deep in the pupils, it had nothing to do with temptation, curiosity or compulsion, it was just caring and listening without the slightest malice, just like treating an ordinary friend, willing to be his Is there any suitable way to solve the problem by the way?

As if a strong chemical reaction had occurred, he used the back of his hand to cover up his slightly hot and red cheeks on both sides, his heart was pounding, and his whole body was scorching hot. It is because he has experienced too much. As the king of a country, even the trivial things that make people feel uncomfortable must be buried and hidden from the light. Over time, he gradually deviates from the normal living habits of people and becomes a symbol. It can be like that, Mr. Jia and Xin Yansheng are his right-hand men, but the king is like a tiger, so how dare he get too close.

Only this person, I don't know whether he is bold or stupid like a fool, he doesn't care what kind of dire consequences such an in-depth question will lead to, only when he really needs to find someone to confide in his inner distress, so he voluntarily The land came, and at this moment, I sat beside me and listened seriously.

He really wanted to shake his head and say it was nothing, but for some reason, maybe it was this dark night that was too lonely, or maybe it was this burning fire... a conversation that hadn't been opened for many years slowly opened There is a thin small gap, the lips move slightly, and the dusty inner words on the top seem to blow away a layer of yellowing memories.

"...The royal family has never had a real family relationship. No matter how close brothers or father and son seem to be, they are not worth mentioning in the face of huge desires and rights. Did I say it before? The youngest above me There are many older brothers, in their teens, 20s, and 40s, and on their birthdays, everyone gave them pretty and delicate gifts, and they greeted each other with smiles and hugged and kissed each other."

"But a few of them secretly bribed the nanny, put an imperceptible chronic poison in my diet, every day and night until they were finally discovered, and I was already at the root of the disease and could not be cured. They loved me Is it? I think sometimes it is a little bit, do they hate me? This is also for sure, one more new brother is one more competitor, if it grows up, it will bring more troubles, so take advantage of the budding Uprooted during that time."

"It's a lie to say that I don't hate them, but ask yourself, would I do this if I were different? I can't answer, but those things have gradually faded away with the passage of time, and I can't get the answer even if I look back. You can’t ask dead people questions, can you?” He smiled a bit bitterly, his hair fell on his forehead, he flicked it but still fell on his shoulders by the back of his ear, softly mixed with an inconspicuous half Yellow and half white, it was only then that Qin Shi noticed that the hair on the back of his neck had faded a lot, as if it was consuming the vitality in his body.

After talking for too long, I couldn't help covering my mouth and coughing a few times. The face that was a little bloody turned pale again. The memories are too fascinating. Once I get stuck, it seems that I can never stop. , the only difference is whether it is brand new or old, and I still have no way to face the prime minister without pressure, just like I don’t know if he still has resentment towards me now.”

"You mean Xin Yansheng?" Qin Shi asked.

There were small things moving around the boots. The emperor saw a brave little rabbit trying to climb up to his knees to grab the naan bread in his hand. However, he was not tall and seemed to be climbing a towering Mount Tai. One of the fluffy ears was torn off and lowered, and it was bitten off immediately before it fell to the ground. It jumped up and down twice, twisting its body in mid-air with joy, but was sniffed by its partners before it was too long to be happy. Seeing the taste, they began to grab food collectively.

Seeing this situation, he smiled helplessly, and the happy emotions quickly melted in the memories that he didn't want to relive very much, sticking to the ground sticky, and pulling it up would only shake the whole world like an overwhelming river.

"Yeah, I can't see it, he is so loyal, but he was not like that at all in the past. Instead, he wanted to kill me right away, hang my body on the gate of the city until it rotted and broke his neck, but I don't feel that Angry, because if it happened, it would be my own fault."

Qin Shi suddenly said: "You are not the kind of person who would hurt others, something must have happened before, and Xin Yansheng would be like this."

He laughed at himself: "Are you so sure? We are not very close at all, where do we start? There is no need to comfort me like this, I am that kind of person."

Qin Shi said: "I believe that Xin Yansheng can't tolerate an ugly character. The person he chooses will not be someone who is so bad that he wants to hurt others. He must have made up his mind to help you. This matter must be It's not your fault, is it because of your father or brother?"

The emperor still murmured softly: "What's the difference between being a father or a brother? Can I find an excuse to hide from me who is related by blood? After all, there must be someone in charge."

Qin Shi took his hand and made him look at him with the eyes he had been avoiding. If he didn't do this, he would never come out of his own world, "It's not something you do, you don't need to come Responsible."

Instead, he tightened his grip, "Answer me sincerely, Brother Li, if your father escaped by luck because he obviously didn't commit any mistakes but was imprisoned by people who couldn't communicate with each other. Knowing that the enemy who killed his father is dead, and seeing that man's son taking the seat in the empty hall, can he really advise himself in his heart to do things alone and not to harm others, instead of strongly wanting to owe his father return?"

"..." This multiple-choice question was too extreme, and Qin Shi was speechless for a moment, unable to abandon his emotions and all his rationality.

Seeing Qin Shi's appearance, it was clearly the expected reaction, but he still felt inexplicably lonely. He raised the corner of his mouth bitterly and said, "Even you can't be relieved. After really going through this situation How could Xin Yansheng say that if you forgive, you will forgive. It’s just that he is willing to temporarily let go of blood and deep hatred to give him a chance at the critical moment when the war has just ended and the world is waiting for prosperity. world."

"This kind of thing can't be made up for. No matter how much wealth and rights you give, you can't get back a forgiveness. I deeply understand that you don't ask for anything in return. The holes left by the parents must be borne by the younger generations. It's the right way, but now, he died in the hands of a group of unknown rebels without leaving a last word, how can you let me forget about it and not take responsibility?"

Spreading his hands, he laughed at himself and said: "Father and brothers may be right. I am not the material to be an emperor at all. No one can protect me. The world will be in chaos soon. Why don't I just hang it on a rope?" It's good to hang them in a circle on the branches, at least...it won't disappoint anyone again."

"..." Qin Shi didn't speak to persuade, and remained silent. The atmosphere was so heavy that one couldn't breathe. The thick firewood was half burned, and the orange-red flames were much weaker than the naked eye. The warm aperture shrank, gray Most of the fluttering little rabbits fell asleep in the short, soft grass, with their ears trembling from time to time.

Nothing to say, the emperor knew very well that there was a long distance between them, whether it was long or short, he lowered his head, no longer expecting the slightest chance of a response, and wanted to change seats and sit farther away, at least two Personal feelings will be much better and not so stiff.

When he looked up, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a dagger in Qin Shi's hand. The blade was so sharp that it could bleed out from the thick pigskin with a single swipe. , obviously intending to commit suicide in the next second.

He was dumbfounded, before he came back to his senses, he had already pounced on him, trying to grab the knife in the opponent's hand, and the two of them fell on the grass, startled the sleeping rabbits away, and hopped away to hide in the distance In the bushes, Qin Shi fought with him for a while, but finally the knife was taken away.

Throwing his hands away, he angrily said: "Are you crazy? Why do you want to commit suicide? By doing this, are you worthy of the family who raised you since you were a child? Or do you think it will be easy to die? If you can't support it Just speak out about your difficulties, everything can be solved, don’t just leave it like this, there will be many people who will be sad because of this, do you know it!”

Qin Shi was lying on the soft green grass, and the emperor held one of his hands above his head to prevent possible resistance in the future. He looked at him calmly, "So what about you? Does hanging himself mean that no one Will you be sad about it?"

"I..." The emperor froze his throat for a moment, turned his head and said, "This has nothing to do with you at all."

Qin Shi said: "I can't bear these things with you, because it's not that the person involved can't imagine, but I know that you have never done anything wrong, whether it is the death of Zhu Jiuzu or Xin Yansheng, you were still such a young child at that time. You know what you can do, people will die eventually, and you die in different ways, you feel deeply guilty, but you didn’t kill Xin Yansheng, it was the hands of those rebels, neither of these things are your fault.”

The emperor murmured softly: "But I can't get rid of the relationship. It's my fault that I killed them. I'm even completely powerless to restore everything."

"Can you really redeem it? In fact, you can't, even if it's anyone else, I can't do the life debts and unexpected accidents owed by others. You just want to repay the wrong things of your parents too much. " Stretching out his hand, Qin Shi stroked his pale and cool cheek, "You are still so young, I will call you little brother when you are twenty, don't put so much pressure on yourself, even if everyone in the world needs you, You must also remember that you are a person who cannot be turned around, and the second is the king of a country."

"Death, are you worthy of the family who raised you since you were a child? Or do you think it will be easy to die? If you really want to die, you won't tell me so much. No matter who you are, as long as you have a spark of hope in your hand, you won't die." Tightly close and annihilate, you are not a born desperate person, but you are too tired to live."

Looking down at Qin Shi who was lying on the grass, he opened his mouth, his lips trembling, and wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be filled with coarse sand, and he turned his head away from Qin Shi, his eyes were so hot that he was about to see unclear.

When he turned his head away, there seemed to be a cool liquid dripping from his face. Qin Shi stretched out his hand to touch it, and said in surprise, "...are you crying?"

He wiped away the unstoppable tears gushing from the corners of his eyes, and spoke in a hoarse tone, "I didn't cry, I just... the wind blows sand into my eyes, so I feel uncomfortable and cry, don't get me wrong, it's just for this reason. "

Are you a teenage kid?It wouldn't matter if you said the truth, Qin Shi was very helpless, and suddenly stretched out two hands to hug him gently, which startled him a lot, "What are you doing?"

"Tired people always need a reassuring hug. Don't worry, it's free. I don't want money."

"..." He originally wanted to resist, but suddenly, as if attracted by magnetic force, his will to break free gradually became weaker and weaker. Ren Qin Shi hugged him, and the exhaustion lingering in his body disappeared with the passage of time In the silent night.

"Hello?" Qin Shi patted him on the back lightly, but there was no response, "He's asleep."

After thinking about it before leaving the grass, he took off his outer shirt and put it on for him. His face was young and immature, and he looked not much older than Liu Linlin. There was a green firefly flying up on the grass, which was so cold. This was probably the last one in autumn, but the light it emitted was as bright as broken gems, and Qin Shi sighed unconsciously.
