[Rat cat] Mirror City

Bai Yutang took the mirror back to his room.Walking to the bedside and sitting down, Bai Yutang examined the mirror, unable to figure out why his original self bought this mirror.

It doesn't look good, anyway, he doesn't know how to appreciate it, Bai Yutang only knows that this mirror is heavy to hold in his hand, and the mirror surface is not smooth, and it can't form an image.

Bai Yutang looked at the mirror with disgust, flipped through it, but couldn't find anything that suited his liking.Bai Yutang looked at the mirror again, inadvertently dazed again, and Bai Yutang noticed that the same ripple appeared on the mirror again.

He also saw it when he was with Jiang Ping last time, but it was only a flash, Bai Yutang always thought it was an illusion.But now, Bai Yutang held his breath and stared at the mirror surface, and the center of the mirror surface was a dot, and ripples spread out in all directions, circle after circle, as if a stone was thrown into the water.

Bai Yutang suddenly felt his mind blurred, and he felt as if something enveloped him in a hazy state, it was thin, very light, a little itchy, but very comfortable.When sleep came again, Bai Yutang vaguely heard the sound of falling rain ticking in his ears, calming his nerves one by one.

Is that the sound of rain?Is it raining?Bai Yutang felt that he was floating and sinking, falling slowly, but he couldn't reach the bottom no matter what.Bai Yutang relaxed his body and told himself not to worry, finally he felt his body become still.

He tried to adjust his body posture, and opened his eyes after standing still.It did rain.

When Bai Yutang raised his head, he saw the gray sky, and the fine rain was falling thickly, and Bai Yutang found himself standing on the roof.The tiles under his feet were not very firm. When Bai Yutang was slightly distracted, his feet sprained, and Bai Yutang hurriedly stood up again.

Although it was raining all the time, it didn't hit Bai Yutang.Bai Yutang looked around and didn't understand why he appeared in this place, the surroundings were all gray and he couldn't see where Zhan Zhao was.

"Then what am I doing here?" Bai Yutang threw the water impatiently, this rainy day is really too troublesome.At this time, he heard an exclamation from not far below.

what happened?Bai Yutang poked his head out to take a look, and saw a man running away in the rain. That man didn't hold an umbrella, and kept bumping away people who blocked him along the way. The innocent passers-by kept screaming.

And behind that person there was a man in red chasing after him.The appearance of that person added a ray of light to the gloomy weather, making Bai Yutang feel that the gray world suddenly brightened up, and the voice of "Master Zhan" came from the street.

Seeing that the person was about to run away, Zhan Zhao jumped up and landed in front of that person.When the Ju Que was out of its sheath, Zhan Zhao didn't even turn his head. He just waved his hand casually, and the Ju Que sword had drawn a cold light, which landed on the man's neck.

The opponent immediately lost the courage to escape and knelt on the ground.After Zhan Zhao subdued the prisoner, the rest of the police caught up, handcuffed the prisoner, and led the prisoner away.

Zhan Zhao thanked a well-meaning person for giving him an umbrella, and just walked back slowly in the rain alone.After arresting the criminal, Zhan Zhao completely faded from his previous fierceness, and became gentle again, a flatness that could blend in with everything around him.

Bai Yutang stood far away, looking at Zhan Zhao's back, he walked in the rain with his back straight, without anyone else around him, like a red lotus blooming alone in the rain, it was beautiful, But there is only this one, alone, washed by the rain and driven by the slanting wind.

If that Bai Yutang was still standing beside Zhan Zhao, then the two of them should share an umbrella.Then the red lotus that blooms in the rain will also be accompanied by the white lotus.

Bai Yutang saw what he wanted to see, and it was exactly as he expected, Zhan Zhao survived the most painful period with strength, everything was just like what Min Xiuxiu said, strong, yet sad.

Seeing that Zhan Zhao was already far away, Bai Yutang wanted to catch up, so he jumped off the roof. Anyway, he couldn't get hurt here, but just after jumping off, Bai Yutang felt a strong suction force Give it a hard ride.

Subconsciously protecting his head, Bai Yutang realized that he was in a restaurant this time, and Zhan Zhao was sitting by the bed, drinking and eating, but his eyes were staring at the river in the distance.

Opposite him, there was a quilt and a pair of chopsticks, and Zhan Zhao poured wine inside.Zhan Zhao has been patrolling the streets all day today, and now he just takes a rest here.

Bai Yutang was not interested in standing and watching others eat, so he walked to sit down opposite Zhan Zhao, but what he didn't expect was that a huge suction came from his back as soon as he sat down, and then Bai Yutang was forced to eat. Pull back.

Bai Yutang was dragged to another place again, he is in a bad mood right now.The feeling of being pulled back by the suction just now is like being pulled back by someone's collar, which feels very bad.

By the way, where is it this time?Bai Yutang found himself standing in a dark room, wondering when the door was pushed open, and the room was lit up after a while.

"Tell me about you, what are you doing? You are the guard of Kaifeng Mansion, not a death squad. What's the use of rushing forward alone? Fortunately, you only hurt your arm this time. Next time, where else do you want to hurt!" Gongsun Ce Appearing in front of Bai Yutang, he pushed Zhan Zhao onto the bed.

"Sir, Zhan Zhao knew he was wrong." Zhan Zhao apologized to Gongsun Ce guiltily, and quietly untied his clothes so that Gongsun Ce could apply the medicine.

Seeing Zhan Zhao's expression of knowing his mistake, Gongsun Ce couldn't utter the next words of reproach. He could only stand there, and after a long time, he reluctantly took the medicine box and gave Zhan Zhao the medicine.

he got hurt?Bai Yutang was startled and wanted to step forward, but Bai Yutang only saw darkness in front of him again.What exactly is going on!

In his dream, Bai Yutang thumped the wall in frustration, venting his inner anger.It was already a strange thing for him to have to dream constantly, but he endured it.

When he wanted to have a good dream, he was not allowed to have a good dream?Bai Yutang no longer remembered how many times he jumped, and he could only stay for a few minutes at most each time.

He has seen Zhan Zhao on duty in the palace, he has seen Zhan Zhao patrolling the streets, he has seen Zhan Zhao drinking, he has seen Zhan Zhao practice swords, he has seen Zhan Zhao fighting with others, he has also seen Zhan Zhao Until Zhan Zhao was injured...he saw many scenes.

But these are just seen.Bai Yutang could only stay in these scenes for a few minutes at most, and some of them were even taken away right after they appeared.

Bai Yutang felt like he was watching a revolving lantern. He could only watch, but he couldn't get close to anything.He can only watch Zhan Zhao's life scene after scene.

Just when Bai Yutang was wondering when he would be tall, he stopped at another scene, this time he appeared in Zhan Zhao's courtyard.

Anyway, this is another quick clip, Bai Yutang is no longer interested in exploring what will happen next, anyway, he will jump to the next scene in a few minutes.

But this time is different.Bai Yutang has been waiting in the yard for several minutes, this time the scene he was still in did not disappear suddenly, does this mean that the scene has stabilized?Is this a surprise?

"That's enough, stop talking!" Gongsun Ce's angry voice came from Zhan Zhao's room.What happened?Bai Yutang rushed into Zhan Zhao's room, and saw Zhan Zhao lying on the bed, surrounded by six people beside him, Gongsun Ce was sitting by the bed, holding Zhan Zhao's hand, while others blocked Bai Yutang Sight.

Can't see Zhan Zhao!Bai Yutang wanted to go forward, but a transparent barrier blocked his way, making him stay in place and unable to move forward.

Bai Yutang beat the air, but this transparent barrier kept him in place and could not move.Since this is the case, why let him have this dream, is it just to let him watch?

"Mr. Gongsun..." Zhan Zhao's weak voice made Bai Yutang stop all his movements. What's wrong with him?Why is the voice so weak.

Bao Zheng couldn't stand it anymore, and pressed Gongsun Ce's shoulder, "Gongsun, Zhan Zhao...you should calm down first."

"Calm down? You tell me to calm down? He has become like this and you still tell me to calm down..." Gongsun Ce's words stopped abruptly because of the hand holding his sleeve.

"Master Bao...four brothers, you should leave first, and let Mr. Gongsun accompany Zhan Zhao." Zhan Zhao's voice was very soft, every word was so light that it almost scattered in the air.

Lu Fang and the others looked at each other and didn't want to leave.But seeing the bleak face on the bed, they finally nodded in agreement with tears in their eyes.

When they turned to leave, Bai Yutang saw their expressions, their faces were filled with heavy grief, they couldn't bear it, but they were helpless.

Bai Yutang followed them closely, watching them leave. He felt that the inside and outside of the house were like two worlds.Seeing their slow footsteps, a strong sense of foreboding struck Bai Yutang's entire body.

Zhan Zhao's weak voice, their grief...impossible, impossible, impossible...but when he looked back, the facts were just as he imagined.

The person lying on the bed was Zhan Zhao, but it was different from the Zhan Zhao in Bai Yutang's memory. He was much more emaciated and emaciated than the person in Bai Yutang's memory, but he was just lying on the bed like this.

What's up with him?Bai Yutang impulsively wanted to move forward, but was trapped in place by the barrier, unable to move.Bai Yutang didn't understand that even though he couldn't do anything in the dream, he could act freely in the previous dreams.

But this time, this dream made up his mind not to allow him to move, as if he was only allowed to watch, knowing that he couldn't do anything, but still not allowing him to do anything.

So Bai Yutang could only watch what happened in front of him.

After Bao Zheng and the others left, although Gongsun Ce was full of anger, he still relaxed when he felt Zhan Zhao's pulse.But Zhan Zhao held Gongsun Ce's hand when Gongsun Ce hooked his wrist.

"Lie down peacefully. I'll check your pulse and prescribe you medicine..." Gongsun Ce's voice was trembling.

And Zhan Zhao just shook his head, showing a bleak smile, "Sir, you don't have to worry about Zhan Zhao anymore, I've already..." Now even talking is exhausting for Zhan Zhao.

"Shut up, you boy." Gongsun Ce put down Zhan Zhao's hand, walked to the table and began to write a prescription for Zhan Zhao, but his hand holding the pen kept shaking, and the ink smeared on the paper, "I am a doctor , I will prescribe you medicine and cure you when you are sick. Zhan Zhao, don't be self-willed anymore."

"But Zhan Zhao's body, isn't it useless for medicine and stones?" Zhan Zhao's voice was full of tired smiles, he sat up with his body propped up, and leaned against the head of the bed, while Gongsun Ce froze in place, " Zhan Zhao, what are you thinking, silly child, with me here, I will definitely cure your illness, and you are just too tired, just too tired, just drink some medicine and rest."

Zhan Zhao looked at Gongsun Ce's back, and couldn't bear to see him force himself. He lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, and said even more cruel words, "Mr. Gongsun, Zhan Zhao is not confused. He knows that his body, after so many years, can hold on." Up to now, it is Zhan Zhao's limit."

"..." Gongsun Ce's movement of picking up the pen just stopped there, the ink fell little by little, blurred, stained the paper, and seeped into the table, and the ink-like black penetrated into Gongsun Ce's heart. heart.

"Zhan Zhao, you're crazy! Why are you saying these things!" Bai Yutang shouted angrily, he didn't understand why this man would give up on himself like this.

"Stop talking!" Gongsun Ce slapped his pen on the table and walked to Zhan Zhao's bedside. Originally, he wanted to tell Zhan Zhao that he would never give up his life, but seeing Zhan Zhao's sad eyes, he I can't say anything.

Zhan Zhao held Gongsun Ce's hand, and the palms of both of them were cold, "Mr. Gongsun, I know you love me, thank you for these years, but Zhan Zhao knows best about his own body."

"What are you trying to say, Mr. Gongsun, don't listen to him!" Bai Yutang didn't want to hear Zhan Zhao's crazy words, why would that Mr. Gongsun sit there and listen obediently.If it was Bai Yutang at this time, he would definitely press the sick man on the bed and drink a bowl of medicine.

"What are you talking about, you are still young, don't leave any last words in front of me, an old man..." Gongsun Ce patted Zhan Zhao's hand, trying to make him lie down and rest, but Zhan Zhao just shook his head.

"Mr. Gongsun, you are a doctor, and you know my body best. Zhan Zhao is like this, is there really any way to save him?" Zhan Zhao said mockingly, there was no pain that could not be saved, Bai Yutang only saw relief.

Gongsun remained silent, but held Zhan Zhao's hand firmly, fearing that if he let go, Zhan Zhao would disappear completely.

Gongsun was so strong that it hurt Zhan Zhao, but he didn't care, "Sir, just let Zhan Zhao be self-willed this time. I want to be alone for a while."

Zhan Zhao's voice was very soft, as if begging him.Gongsun Ce held Zhan Zhao's hand tightly, struggling for countless cycles in his heart, and finally let go of Zhan Zhao's hand lightly, picked up the medicine box and left the room.

Bai Yutang wanted to call Gongsun Ce to stop, telling him not to care about this sick and confused person, but it was useless, he could only stand where he was, facing Zhan Zhao's bed, but he couldn't do anything, he couldn't even take a step forward .

When Gongsun Ce closed the door, Zhan Zhao apologized and said "Thank you".Gongsun Ce heard it, and his hand holding the door turned pale, but finally he left.

Bai Yutang kicked at the barrier angrily, just to relieve his anger.After Gongsun Ce left, Zhan Zhao still kept leaning against the head of the bed, and then laughed.

His body was very weak, and his laughter was very low. At first, Bai Yutang thought that Zhan Zhao was shaking, but when Zhan Zhao looked up, he saw Zhan Zhao was laughing.

"You must be calling me capricious in your heart right now?" Zhan Zhao patted himself on the forehead, smiling like a child who succeeded in pranking, Bai Yutang saw that he was holding the two jade cats and jade mice in his hand.

"If you were here, you must think that I am confused. Tell Mr. Gongsun to ignore my disease and pour down a bowl of medicine, right?" Zhan Zhao smiled resolutely, as if he could already see Bai Yutang So did it.

Bai Yutang stopped where he was, he felt his breath was icy cold, because Zhan Zhao's face didn't have a trace of blood, and the only bright color on his face was the bloodshot at the corner of his lips.

Zhan Zhao!

This was the first time that Bai Yutang felt that death was so close, and he could only watch death take that person away.Yes, he can only watch, but can't do anything, even though he can't do anything in the first place.

But Zhan Zhao accepted the approach of death so indifferently, he just leaned on the bedpost, making people feel that he might fall to the ground in the next second.

"It's been 15 years." Zhan Zhao looked at the jade mouse and cat in his hand, and he could still remember when Bai Yutang found the pair of jade mouse and cat in the jade shop when he was patrolling the street with him, Bai Yutang stared at them closely The look of not letting go.

He still remembers that when he asked Bai Yutang if he liked it, Bai Yutang just snorted and left, but that night Bai Yutang came to him, and after a test with him, he threw him a jade mouse and left up.The next day, he saw a jade cat hanging from Bai Yutang's waist.At that time, he didn't hang up the jade mouse, and Bai Yutang's face was blackened because of it.

So many memories, so many things, it turns out that more than 15 years have passed, and it has passed so long without knowing it.

"Without you, I lived for 15 years." Zhan Zhao stroked the jade ornament in his hand, and Bai Yutang shouted at him regardless, "It's only 15 years, Zhan Zhao, you live for me, live a long time Jiujiu, give me a long life!"

"This is my limit..." Zhan Zhao curled up into a ball, he coughed desperately, the blood fell on the bed sheet, and it hurt Bai Yutang, "I'm so tired...cough cough !"

"According to calculations, it happens to be today." Zhan Zhaoqiang stood up and sat up, "cough... At the beginning we said that we don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but we want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day...Although it's 15 years late, but I kept my promise too, right?"

... Bai Yutang just wanted him to shut up, shut up, this kind of agreement doesn't need to be kept.

"You and I know each other, love each other, know each other and stay together. For five years, Zhan Zhao has always broken the promise with Yutang. This time, we finally kept the promise."

"No need, Zhan Zhao, I don't need you to keep this kind of agreement, he definitely doesn't need it." Bai Yutang felt as if he had entered into that Bai Yutang, and if he was there, he would definitely have the same reaction as him.

"I, Zhan Zhao..." Zhan Zhao raised his head, the light in his eyes dimmed and disappeared little by little, "I have devoted my whole life to public affairs, and I have never regretted it... I only regret that I have never spent time with the person I love. "

Zhan Zhao gradually lost his strength, and his voice became softer and softer.Bai Yutang slapped the barrier, unwilling to stand here and watch someone die.

"Yutang, this time you and I...one sword and one sword..." Zhan Zhao slowly closed his eyes, and the jade in his hand fell to the bed, making a muffled sound.

"never separate……"

"Zhan Zhao!"

The barrier in front of him disappeared instantly, and Bai Yutang fell forward.Bai Yutang woke up by shouting Zhan Zhao's name.When he woke up, he was stretching out his hand, his fingers spread wide, but he couldn't grasp anything.

It was night, and Zhan Zhao died.
