Chapter 61 Crow Crossing

Lu Yuan has never had such a deep sleep before. He has always slept lightly, and the slightest noise will wake him up.

But this time, he fell into a deep sleep, and the same dream that had haunted him for more than ten years came to an end during this time.He gently opened the door and saw the owner of those hands.

"You're back."

He couldn't tell if it was Xiao Yu's smile or Mrs. Seven's. Anyway, she was smiling at him. The moment he stepped into the gate of Qi's courtyard, everything around him darkened and disappeared into the vast night.

Lu Yuan didn't want to wake up again, Qi Hongwen had already left, but he didn't want to face the heavy reality later, if possible, he hoped to sleep like this forever and never open his eyes again.

But he still woke up, it was like a trajectory that had been set long ago, no matter how Wulun avoided it, he couldn't dodge it.

"Are you awake?" Meng Fanyu's steady voice came.

Lu Yuan tilted his head, just like how he woke up countless times at Meng Fanyu's house, he saw Meng Fanyu sitting on a chair by the bed, smoking a cigarette and looking at him.

"Well," he moved his body. He had experienced this kind of soreness during exercise before, but this time it was more intense. He looked at Meng Fanyu, "Are... all right?"

"You still have time to worry about me," Meng Fanyu got up and squeezed his arm, "How do you feel?"

"I'm exhausted," Lu Yuan closed his eyes, "I thought I would never wake up again."

"You don't want to wake up again?"

"Well, I'm too tired."

"There will be a moment when you won't wake up again," Meng Fanyu smiled, "What about him?"

Knowing that Meng Fanyu was asking about Qi Hongwen, Lu Yuan twitched in his heart, took a breath slowly, and pointed to his head: "He is here."

"He still did it." Meng Fanyu seemed relieved and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Should I call you Meng Fanyu...or Wu Zezhi." Lu Yuan asked softly.

"Then you have to know whether you are Lu Yuan or Qi Hongwen."

Lu Yuan sighed: "Fanyu, you can tell me now, what's going on..."

"Do you know what the thing in your hand is for?" Meng Fanyu didn't answer directly, looking at the spirit-binding bottle that Lu Yuan had been holding tightly in his hand.

"Maybe." Lu Yuan raised his hand and looked at the bottle that had returned to normal. "Su Mo's obsession? Hate? Love?"

"This is the only way for Su Mo to exist."

"If it was given back to you, what would you use it for?"

"Send him away."

"Why do you have to do this..." Lu Yuan sat up and looked at Meng Fanyu. Su Mo's lonely and cold back and eyes full of hatred and unwillingness seemed to be engraved in his heart, which made him unable to let go, "He just wanted to... "

"Lu Yuan, what he wanted is gone. Qi Hongwen is no longer there, has disappeared. What remains in your body and your mind are only Qi Hongwen's memories and emotions, and you are not him."

Lu Yuan was silent.

"Su Mo has no reason to stay here. He refused to leave from the very beginning, not because of love, but because of hatred," Meng Fanyu said in a calm and low voice without any emotion, "Once the blood curse is cast , he experiences the same hate and pain as those who cannot leave because of his curse."

"Is this the price?" Lu Yuan's voice was very low, almost inaudible.

"Lu Yuan, Su Mo and Qi Hongwen." Meng Fanyu stood up and walked to the window. "They are not my enemies. There is only one reason why I have spent nearly a hundred years trying to send Su Mo away."

"what reason."

"they are my friends."

"You are Wataru."

"If I could choose, I would rather be an ordinary person, grow old and die like an ordinary person one day after they leave," Meng Fanyu smiled, "There is nothing better than making friends hate you Even scarier."

"You don't have a choice, do you?"

"No one told me that I had a choice, and Pang Qi never told me the truth from the beginning... So, after I lost the bottle, I also wouldn't let him choose."

Lu Yuan looked at the bottle in his hand: "How did this get into my hand?"

"If Hongwen wants it, give it to him," Meng Fanyu said lightly, as if it wasn't something to extend his strength and life, but just an ordinary toy, "As for how it got on you, you should know .”

"It's not a coincidence that the two of us know each other..."

"I have to follow the bottle."

"I understand." Lu Yuan suddenly felt a little empty in his heart.

"Lu Yuan," Meng Fanyu smiled. Lu Yuan has seen this kind of gentle smile countless times in the past ten years, but he has never felt so hard to let go of it like today. "No one can stay together for more than ten years. And without any feelings, even if I am acting for you, I have already entered the drama."

"You are my friend, a very important friend."

"I'm the friend who would die for you."

Lu Yuan cleared his mind, looked at Meng Fanyu who was standing by the window and stopped talking, got out of bed and walked over, and handed the things in his hand to Meng Fanyu's eyes: "Take it, send Su Mo away."

Meng Fanyu turned around, but didn't answer. He just stared at Lu Yuan for a long time before slowly speaking: "There is something, I think maybe you haven't figured it out yet."

"what's up?"

"After Su Mo is sent away, what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do, this matter is over, I should start to return to my normal life track again, the holiday is here, it's time to go back to work..." Lu Yuan suddenly thought of something, he looked at Meng Fanyu, "What about you? "

"Me?" Meng Fanyu lit another cigarette, his eyes drifted away, "Of course I can't stay here anymore."

"That is to say, you will go too? I will never see you again?"

"It's not exactly like this. I can... between life and death... give you a ride."

Lu Yuan turned his head, his nose was a little sore, he didn't want Meng Fanyu to see his suddenly red eyes.

He never thought that one day he and Meng Fanyu would have such a conversation, would face such a parting between life and death, Meng Fanyu did not disappear, did not die, he was always somewhere, but he never saw him again, Even if death is used as the price, it can only be exchanged for the moment before reincarnation.

"This is too cruel..." Lu Yuan said softly, "It's too cruel."

"I said, something you haven't figured out yet," Meng Fanyu patted him on the shoulder, "Do you want to hear it? You have a choice."

"What is it?" Lu Yuan turned his head quickly.

"Do you know why so many people want this bottle? There are many spirit-binding bottles, and this is not the only one in the world."

"Because of what's in it?"

"Yes, this bottle has contained the souls of many people, a lot of love, hate, and unwillingness, but it has never contained a soul like Su Mo..." Meng Fanyu narrowed his eyes, "He is not an ordinary person. The power of ordinary people's imagination, can you understand me when I say this?"

"You mean that Su Mo's soul is very powerful."

"Ah."

"Then what? His soul makes this bottle different from ordinary spirit-binding bottles, so what?" Lu Yuan was a little puzzled.

Meng Fanyu touched the bottle in Lu Yuan's hand, and the bottle emitted a series of flickering dark yellow lights as he stroked it with his fingers. As soon as his fingers left, the lights disappeared: "It can create a world."

"What?" Lu Yuan was stunned.

"Have you ever thought," Meng Fanyu looked into Lu Yuan's eyes, "You are someone who never existed, you did not exist, Han Xu did not exist, Peng Anbang did not exist, you and everyone you know did not exist... ..."

"It's impossible!" Lu Yuan interrupted Meng Fanyu. Qi Hongwen also said the same thing to him, false.

He couldn't accept the statement that everything didn't exist, including himself, which made him not only painful, but unbearable despair.

"Do you know how powerful the human brain is?" Meng Fanyu sat down on the bed and leaned against the wall, "If there is a reality that you don't want to face, you can use your strong imagination to create a dream for yourself that you will never wake up from." Dream."

"You want to say that Su Mo is like this? But I am a living person, we are all, how could it be the person in Su Mo's dream!" Lu Yuan was a little excited.

"Su Mo is not an ordinary person, of course he would not create a dream, how could he just create a dream?" Meng Fanyu sat next to Lu Yuan, "He created a world, and in this world there are people he hates. People, people he loves, and most importantly, everything that will allow him to carry out his plans."

"I don't understand. If he has the ability to create a world where all the people he hates will die and Qi Hongwen will live him, it will be enough for the two of them to live there. Create such a space!"

"He has no entity, and neither does Qi Hongwen..." Meng Fanyu pressed Lu Yuan's shoulders and squeezed them lightly, "They are just souls, just some kind of spiritual power. Su Mo needs a space to realize his plan step by step. , and cannot directly own everything.”

"Fanyu," Lu Yuan said with some difficulty, "I am a person who has never existed? My memory, my life, and all my traces have never existed? I am just a person who lived without anyone. Someone in the mental space who knows?"

Meng Fanyu didn't speak, just sighed and put his arms around Lu Yuan.

"How can you let me accept such a fact? I have emotions, and I have love and hatred! You tell me now that I am only an existence imagined by others, how do you let me accept..." Lu Yuan's voice was incongruous Trembling in control.

"I shouldn't tell you this. This is the only choice I can make, be a bystander or a participant," Meng Fanyu raised his left hand and turned his palm to Lu Yuan. The shocking black lines on his palm had already started to turn red, "I said Too much……"

"Is this my choice?" Lu Yuan held Meng Fanyu's hand and looked at him, "The choice is to continue living in this illusory space, or to destroy everything?"

"Yes."

"If Su Mo is sent away, won't all the things derived from his spiritual power disappear with him?"

"The center of all this is not Su Mo," Meng Fanyu pointed to the bottle in his hand, "it is."

"Where are the Su Mo people?" Lu Yuan looked at the bottle in his hand.

"I don't know, it's still on the 19th."

"How much time do you have, I mean..." Lu Yuan touched the black line on Meng Fanyu's hand.

"Who knows, maybe one day, maybe two days, maybe the next second," Meng Fanyu smiled, "I have... nothing to worry about."

"You wait here for my return," Lu Yuan stood up and looked at Meng Fanyu, "You promise me that you will wait here for my return."

"it is good."

Number 19 disappeared.

When Lu Yuan returned to No. 19, there was nothing left. There was no abandoned reservoir, but there was no Qijiayuan. Everything that Lu Yuan was familiar with disappeared from his eyes.

He looked at the endless crabapple flowers in a daze.Begonias are everywhere, and the air is filled with the strong fragrance of begonias.Qi Hongwen's remnant memories of this fragrance are still in Lu Yuan's mind, and he can hardly tell whether this familiar and painful taste comes from Qi Hongwen or himself.

"Su Mo, are you there..." Lu Yuan slowly walked towards the begonias all over the sky.

A pair of hands stretched out from behind, gently wrapped around Lu Yuan's waist.

Su Mo's breath passed close to his neck, Lu Yuan wanted to turn around, but was stopped by Su Mo: "Don't look back..."

"Why," Lu Yuan held Su Mo's arm, "Are you going to kill me?"

"No need...you have already killed me..." Su Mo smiled lightly.

"Will you go?"

"Yes, I have to go."

"I'd like to see you."

"No, I'm not the Su Mo you've seen, don't look back."

Su Mo's body is no longer cold, but has a warm temperature, just like when he pressed his waist for the first time.

"I'm sorry," Lu Yuan closed his eyes, "I know you don't want to go like this."

"I will... come back..." Su Mo's lips tapped Lu Yuan's neck lightly, and his hand slipped away.

Lu Yuan turned his head, and there was nothing behind him, without Su Mo, and even with his hand pulled away, the crabapple flowers gradually became blurred and the fragrance of the flowers faded away.

"Are they going to disappear..." Lu Yuan stood where he was, looking at the things slowly melting into the air before his eyes, full of bitterness.

He walked on Zhongshan Road, where he saw the scenery for many years, shops, shopping malls, flower beds, parks, bustling crowds.

Are you all fake?Like me, people who don't exist...

Lu Yuan looked at these real people who passed by him with smiles, anger or indifference, and his heart was empty.He walked into a pharmacy on the side of the road, showed his work ID, and bought a bottle of medicine.

After he came out of the pharmacy, he calmed down a lot. Now that he has made a decision, no matter what the ending is, let's face it.

Han Xu was squatting in the yard in a daze looking at a pot of roses that was about to wither. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned his head, his eyes widened, and he threw himself in front of Lu Yuan, grabbed his collar and shouted, "You fucker!" What! Say hello to me when you play missing! I can’t find you anywhere, and the phone is still fucking turned off..."

Lu Yuan looked at Han Xu with an anxious face, felt a little distressed, and stretched out his arms to hug him: "I didn't do it on purpose, next time... I will definitely not do this again."

"Brother, are you okay?" Han Xu patted his face, "You have never been so proactive."

"Aren't you used to it?" Lu Yuan let go of Han Xu, smiled, and walked into the room, "Are there any arrangements for today?"

"No arrangement... Are you okay? You said you were going to find Su Mo, did you find him? How's the matter?" Han Xu followed into the room and brought him a can of beer.

"It's over," Lu Yuan took the beer and looked at Han Xu, "Everything has been dealt with, it's over."

"It's...over?" Han Xu froze for a moment, unable to understand for a long time.

"Don't ask, I'm tired. I don't want to talk about it now. I just want to relax. Do you have any arrangements for today? If not, let's go out and drive around where you want to go."

"...Are you really alright?"

"Well, are you going to play?"

"I want to go climbing, of course I will drive up. I haven't climbed a mountain and looked far away for a long time..."

"Walk."

This is the highest mountain in the city, standing on the top of the mountain can overlook the whole city.Lu Yuan and Han Xu stood on the viewing platform on the top of the mountain, looking at the city buildings shining with golden light in the setting sun.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've been to the top of the mountain. I wanted to come here when I first got here, but I never had a chance." Han Xu was in a good mood, standing on the railing of the viewing platform, and shouted down.

"Don't fall," Lu Yuan supported Han Xu's leg, seeing the happy smile on his face, bursts of indescribable sadness surged up, "I can't hold you back when you fall."

"I said, brother," Han Xu looked down at him with a smile in his eyes, "does this count as that?"

"Calculate."

This is the last time.

No matter what Han Xu wants, Lu Yuan will accompany him to do it.Whether it's mountain climbing or watching movies, even if it's just wandering aimlessly on the street, he didn't refuse.

After eating supper, Han Xu patted his stomach contentedly: "You are in a good mood today. You have been with me all day and you haven't complained. If you put it in normal times, you will probably be bored to death and go back to Yadu at 61 and 61." (end)

let's go. "

"Are you happy?" Lu Yuan smiled.If he had known that there would be such an ending, he would never have refused any request from Han Xu, but now, he could only endure the pain in his heart and pretend to look at Han Xu happily.

"Nonsense, I'm still very happy that my leg is almost broken."

"Are you tired, let me take you back."

"Shouldn't I send you off?"

"I'll go sit with you."

Han Xu sat on the sofa, watching Lu Yuan busy making fruit tea for him.He has known Lu Yuan for so long, this is the first time he saw Lu Yuan like this, he is a person who can't even cook noodles.Han Xu felt that there must be something that Lu Yuan didn't tell him, but he didn't ask in detail. He would naturally say it when he wanted to.

After Lu Yuan finished making the fruit tea, looking at the wine-red liquid, he suddenly felt conflicted, but quickly suppressed it again. This is not our life, not our world.He turned his head and glanced at Han Xu, who was watching TV and didn't pay attention to him.

The medicine bottle in his hand was a bit heavy, he thought about it, poured a few tablets into the fruit tea, turned it gently with a spoon, and watched the white tablets slowly dissolve in the water.

……

"Oh, it's rare for you to be so caring." Han Xu lay on the sofa, his eyelids were twitching, "I'm so sleepy..."

"Too many places today, tired, you go to sleep." Lu Yuan sat beside him.

"I really don't know why I'm so sleepy. I don't usually stay up late." Han Xu rubbed his eyes.

"Go to sleep." Lu Yuan looked at him, hesitated for a moment, lowered his head gently, and kissed Han Xu's lips.

Han Xu fell asleep with a calm face.Lu Yuan pinched his chin and whispered softly in his ear: "Goodbye."

When Lu Yuan returned to Meng Fanyu's house, the lights were not turned on in the house. Meng Fanyu was sitting on the sofa, and the moonlight poured in from the window, covering his body.For a moment, Lu Yuan felt that Su Mo was sitting there.

"Fanyu?"

"Ah."

"I am back."

"Have you made a decision?"

"Yes, you already guessed how I would choose." Lu Yuan smiled, "You know me too well."

"I've been around you for more than ten years, how could I not understand you."

"How do I start."

"Come here." Meng Fanyu stretched out his left hand, palm up, and a cluster of small black flames sprang up from his palm.

"It's so beautiful..." Lu Yuan was stunned, the black flame seemed to burn into his heart, making him tremble uncontrollably.

"That's all right now, let's get started."

Lu Yuan walked over, took the pendant from his neck, glanced at Meng Fanyu, and put the pendant into the black fire in his palm.

"I think I've lived. At least you can prove that I once existed."

"Yes."

"Will you forget me..."

"will not."

"Will I be reincarnated?"

"Will do."

"So……"

"I'll wait for you there and see you off."

The author has something to say: Well, this article is over, and my second article of more than 3 words is complete.

I originally thought that one chapter would be enough, but I accidentally wrote so many words, and I was too lazy to post two chapters, so I can post one chapter.

Thank you to the readers who have persisted with me until now, thank you.

In fact, there are still many things I want to write in this article, but considering the problem, I collected a lot of the shelves that had been spread out before, and only picked one main line to write down.If you are a careful reader, you may have noticed that many threads and foreshadowings I buried before have not been cleared up. Please ignore them. I will reorganize and post them again when I have a chance in the future.

Some people feel that this style of writing is very different from the previous ones. In fact, I have always had this style of writing. The relaxed and funny style was only tried after JJ. Please forgive me for being so schizophrenic...

I wrote this article more seriously than the other two, but helplessly, I have never written complicated things, and my writing power is limited. About the dream that Lu Yuan had for more than ten years, this is my own experience. Of course, I don’t have that dream anymore, I don’t know why, so, in order not to let this good story continue to collapse, I decided to end it like this, and when I develop the ability to write novels in the future , then what, let's talk...

I will open a new pit before June, and easily move to the plot-oriented pit.

Concentrate on saving manuscripts during this time. Interested girls can look up, click on the word Wu Zhe above, and then bookmark it so that you can see the latest pit opening situation.

Thanks again everyone!

that's all.
