Sha Po Lang

In his dream, Chang Geng remembered what happened many years ago, and there was a pungent smell of kerosene floating around him, as well as the salty smell of blood, and the earthy smell of hay.He dreamed that he became a small ball, curled up in an old basket, bumping with the woman's footsteps.

Hugel has long hair like a dark cloud, but unfortunately her body is too thin and her head looks a bit big, like a person piled up with sprawling bones. She wore it alone in a bandit den like a mass grave. However, humming a barbarian ditty.

Suddenly, she turned her head, her gaze met Chang Geng, Chang Geng instinctively shrank, even though he had grown up and was indestructible, this thin woman could always hurt him, he had a deep-seated fear of her.

However, she just looked at him silently for a while, and did not move. Her face was stained with blood, her lips were pale, and her expression was numb. reef sea.

Then Hugel sighed softly, she didn't look crazy, then she stretched out a thin hand, touched Chang Geng's head, and changed another ditty in her mouth - people from all over the world, north, south, east There was a language barrier, but the ditties that the mother hummed to put the baby to sleep were all the same, Chang Geng was a little surprised, he never knew that this scene still existed in his memory.

She carried him through what seemed to be a long and boundless road to death, and then stopped at the foot of the mountain. The mountain was silently on fire behind her. With sweat on his face, he sat on the side of the road to rest his feet, and took the little Chang Geng out of the basket.

Chang Geng struggled subconsciously, Hugel lifted him up in front of him with both hands, stared at his face, he didn't know who he was looking at, a bit of indescribable melancholy and tenderness suddenly appeared on his face, she placed little Chang Geng on her Knee, gently traced his young facial features with fingers, then bent down, and kissed him lightly on the forehead.

Chang Geng didn't dare to blink, seeing that foreign woman's eyelashes were as thick as butterfly wings, trembling slightly, as if ready to fly into the sky at any moment.Then she shed tears without warning, and said softly: "Why are you born here, child? Did God send you to suffer?"

Chang Geng looked at her through years of memories, when she put those skinny hands between his neck, his heart suddenly became calm, and he was not afraid of this woman for some reason.

When she was crying and trying to strangle him, her blood-stained hands were fierce, but her eyes were gentle.

And when she regained consciousness exhausted from crying, she let go of the hand that was stuck on Chang Geng's neck, and breathed into his dying throat, but her eyes turned cold.

Every time she wiped away her tears, she seemed to evaporate part of her soul from her body, becoming more and more indifferent, and getting along with Little Chang Geng more and more peacefully.

Chang Geng followed her all the way, wandering all the way.

Until suddenly one day, Hugel accidentally saw Chang Geng's feet, she suddenly showed horror, covered her face with her hands, stepped back a few steps, curled up in a ball like a collapse under the little boy's bewildered gaze, and cried bitterly Waking up, Chang Geng in the dream looked down at his feet, he found that his toes were miraculously repairing themselves...

What is "self-healing"?

Chang Geng struggled to recall for a moment, and then the clear dream suddenly brought back the things buried deep in his memory in the early years.

He thought of the time when he was very young—the age when he shouldn’t have memories. At that time, he did have a congenital deficiency. Later, he didn’t know when, and somehow healed himself.

Urbone will gradually take on the traits of the brother he devoured.

The long toes gave Hugel a great stimulus, and it seemed to remind her all the time that she made her child into a Ur bone, and the child's characteristics began to resemble those in the legend. It is manifested in Wei Yi's little "evil god".

Chang Geng looked at her with some pity, when he looked at all this from an outsider's perspective, he suddenly understood how that crazy woman felt.

When a person is full of national humiliation and family hatred, it is easy to make extreme decisions - such as suicide, or even murdering parents and children, but after all, it is only a quick wound, even if blood is dripping, there will always be times when things change, but she insists on choosing A road that keeps delaying itself.

Hugel rushed over suddenly, grabbed his feet, lifted a stone, and smashed it down hard...

The pain was real, even in a dream.

Hugel bent his toes fiercely, while bending, he repeated like a demon: "You are not my child, you are not my child..."

Chang Geng groaned in pain, stuck between the dream and reality, his whole foot hurt so badly that he could barely feel it.

At this moment, a cold hand suddenly grabbed his foot, which just relieved the burning pain. Chang Geng took a few breaths, and someone whispered in his ear: "Shh—it's okay, let's go!" No, it doesn't hurt."

Chang Geng raised his head in a daze, and saw that the scene around him suddenly changed drastically, his figure gradually elongated and taller, but his clothes were still ragged, his body was still covered with injuries, the boundless cold seemed to soak into his bones, and he was lonely outside the pass. In the ground, he squinted his eyes, and saw a person coming against the light, with a big cloak hunting around, walking firmly, with an old black iron jug hanging on his waist.

The man's hands were as steady as cast iron, but his eyebrows could be drawn into the picture. He stretched out a hand to him and asked, "Will you come with me?"

Chang Geng looked at him, feeling almost physically and mentally exhausted, unable to speak for a moment.

"Follow me, you don't have to come back later."

Chang Geng grabbed that hand and let him lead him to walk forward. He felt that the longer he grew, the stronger he became, as if he could cross thousands of mountains and rivers with one step. As he walked, he suddenly turned back. Seeing the bitterly cold Guanwai and the pack of wolves gradually being left behind, Hugel was wearing the goose yellow dress she wore before she died, combing the maiden's hair, watching him silently.

And she didn't know when there was another person beside her, at first he was a little boy, and then as Chang Geng grew up, he also gradually became a teenager, a young man...

He had the same face as Chang Geng, standing side by side with Hugel.

Hugel suddenly turned his head, pulled his head down, tiptoed and kissed the young man beside him on the forehead.

Then they watched Chang Geng go away together.

Chang Geng suddenly opened his eyes, the sky was already bright, he suddenly had a different feeling, as if the shackles that had been tied to him all his life had suddenly disappeared, and his body was so brisk that he was almost unaccustomed to it.

There was a smell of Anshensan floating around, Chang Geng raised his eyes and saw Chen Qingxu sitting silently on the side, holding a roll, saw that he was about to get up after waking up, Chen Qingxu gently raised a finger at him Chang Geng hurriedly followed her gaze and turned his head, seeing that Gu Yun had already fallen asleep leaning against one side, with one hand still on his shoulder.

Chang Geng, who was going to sit up, suddenly didn't dare to move.

Chen Qingxu tactfully rolled the book into one roll, ordered the next volume of Anshensan, and quietly backed out.

In the silence, he could hear the man's shallow breathing. Chang Geng very gently grabbed the hand on his shoulder, interlocking his fingers, stared at Gu Yun silently for a moment, held his breath and crawled up. Get up, and slowly take off the glazed mirror on Gu Yun's face.

Then he carefully touched Gu Yun's lips.

The stealthy kiss failed to disturb Gu Yun, Chang Geng waited for a while, and finally stepped up his movements helplessly, gently licked the gap between Gu Yun's lips, and when he heard that his breathing rate finally changed, he finally moved Gu Yun The whole person was dragged over and wrapped in his arms. Gu Yun didn't open his eyes, but patted his back habitually, coaxing him vaguely: "Go to sleep, I'm here."

Chang Geng closed his eyes slightly, and buried his head in the socket of his neck contentedly.

The nightmare is over.

Then the war was over too.

On the day when the letter of surrender from the Western Allied Forces arrived in the capital, Shen Yi sent someone to send an urgent message to ask Gu Yun how to escort him into the city.

Gu Yun replied briefly: "Giant kite."

Eleven years ago, Calais Yingzhuo used a giant kite to sneak into the small town of Northwest Yanhui, casting a shadow over the girders. That shadow was also the starting point for a generation of emperors to go from a panicked boy in the small town to the imperial capital thousands of miles away. Now, The smoke has cleared, the wind and rain have just stopped, and it seems that such an end-to-end ending is about to come.

The capital city is not like the town of Yanhui. There is no plan to attract giant kites in the city, so the Beidaying has to be in charge of defense. A passage is opened on the moat outside the Nine Gates. A fence to prevent too many spectators from being squeezed into the water.

The new emperor led a hundred officials to greet him outside the city in person. In the evening, a whole row of giant kites returned from the south like wild geese.

Tens of thousands of fire wings swirl in the evening, and the setting sun coats the giant kites with a layer of gold through the steam. City trip.

All the generals on the giant kite lined up on the deck, shouting long live.

The onlookers pushed thousands of river lanterns into the water, floating and sinking for thousands of miles, and the fireflies slowly returned to their hometown with their souls.
