bayonet and rose

Lin Ziyu walked in front, Hua Zhai followed, and the two walked towards the depths of the ruins.

The ruins have been weather-beaten and have fallen seven or eight times, but some traces of the original majesty can still be seen from between the broken walls.

The original building was very tall, and even the broken walls around them were basically higher than adult men, so the vision of the two of them was not particularly wide.

After walking for a short time, the two came to a place similar to an altar. The buildings here are relatively well preserved, at least they can have a basic appearance.

Lin Zi prison went around and found that there were murals on the walls here.

The murals were severely eroded, and with Lin Zi Prison's artistic level, it was difficult to reproduce the original patterns in his mind with such a little information, and he could only guess.

Fortunately, there are enough murals, and after a rough inspection, one or two places worth noting can be found.

This mural is storytelling, mostly about the history of Sicily, and some repeated similar pictures will appear repeatedly.Lin Ziyu wrote them down one by one, and then picked up a stick to draw the features with high frequency on the ground, and put them together in one place.

Hua Zhai was watching from the side, but he only occasionally glanced at the gradually complete picture on the ground, and most of the time he still glued his eyes to Lin Ziyu's body and hands.

Lin Ziyu's fingers were slender and well-defined, and the arc from wrist to arm was almost perfect.

Lin Ziyu reproduced the things recorded in his mind on the ground, and after he sorted them out, the originally messy and incomplete murals had an index line, allowing him to easily grasp the information.

Judging from the pictures on the ground, these murals took a lot of space to describe the once beautiful and prosperous fragments. From the subtle pictures that have not been eroded by wind, we can get a glimpse of its glory at that time.

As the note said at the beginning - "Sicily is the richest and most beautiful island in the ocean. On the day it was born, seabirds brought a hundred flowers to it. Mermaids danced and danced around the coast, and the god of the sea also blessed Sicily. never die..."

This scene of the past was run over by the wheels of history, and it was so broken that it was hard to find, leaving only a few fragments that still reflected the past.

With the gorgeous past on one side and the dilapidated present situation on the other, Lin Ziyu couldn't help being in a daze.

Hua Zhai, who had been paying attention to Lin Zi Prison, immediately noticed something was wrong with him, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Lin Zijuan straightened up, and the stick in his hand stroked and pulled the ground twice in a disorderly manner.Without saying a word, he suddenly dropped the wooden stick in his hand, turned to Hua Zhai, and walked slowly step by step.

Hua Zhai was stunned for a moment, then opened his arms, as if waiting to hug Lin Ziqian.

However, Lin Zijuan stopped in front of him.

At this distance, Lin Ziyu is already within the range of Hua Zhai's embrace. If he folds his arms, he can just wrap his arms around Lin Ziyu's back.

But he didn't.

Hua Zhai kept this posture, and after a while, he said with a half smile: "Boss Lin?"

Lin Ziyu glanced at Hua Zhai, and carefully looked at Hua Zhai's face at a very close distance.

There is no blemish on Hua Zhai's face, especially his pair of eyes are very attractive, as long as he glances at him so casually, it is enough to ignite all the enthusiasm for him.However, neither the face nor the eyes will wither and disappear one day.

Thinking about it this way, it seems a little regretful?

Lin Zijuan smiled from the bottom of his heart, stretched out his hand and gently pinched Hua Zhai's face.His subtle movement was only for a moment, and when Hua Zhai realized it, Lin Ziyu had already withdrawn his hand, turned and left.

Lin Zijuan picked up the stick, changed a piece of open space and began to paint the illusion in the sea.

He doesn't know how to draw, but just mechanically retells and reproduces.

Hua Zhai's eyes dimmed a bit, he stared at Lin Ziyu for a long time, until Lin Ziyu straightened up after painting, he put away the things he had just rolled over and was about to overflow, and walked towards Lin Ziyu as if nothing had happened.

He looked at the paintings on both sides, and suddenly noticed a difference, "Cyclops?"

Lin Ziyu gave a "hmm" and said, "There is no Cyclops in the remaining murals, but I definitely saw a Cyclops in the illusion in the sea."

The giant was so conspicuous that it was hard for Lin Zijuan not to notice it.

"According to the note, the Cyclops originally lived in the trench. They do not belong to Sicily. It is not surprising that they are not included in the mural," Hua Zhai said.

"It's really not surprising." Lin Ziyu followed Hua Zhai's words, "I'm just making a hypothesis."

"What assumption?"

"If you knew that the final ending of a book was a tragedy, would you still open it?"

Hua Zhai thought about it carefully, and said plausibly, "But I never read books."

Lin Ziyu was used to Hua Zhai's tone, and he didn't respond when he didn't get an answer. He continued on his own, "If you knew that something was destined to be destroyed in the end, would you still fight for it?"

The two problems are essentially the same, but changing the conditions increases the sense of oppression and makes it more difficult to predict one's own behavior.

Lin Zijuan didn't wait for Hua Zhai's answer. He pointed to a mural with a stick in his hand, "This is the end point, everything is destroyed here. Looking back from this point is everything in Sicily. From this point After that point, everything returns to zero, and nothing exists.”

Hua Zhai glanced at the surrounding ruins, "Like this?"

"It needs to be more thorough," Lin Zijuan looked at the murals and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Even the whole of Sicily will cease to exist."

"Oh?" Hua Zhai was astonished, and his tone was on point, but he still couldn't feel his own emotions.

"It's not surprising, many myths predict the destruction of human beings, and we also saw that the pillars under Sicily are almost broken." Lin Zijuan said casually, "I was just thinking that the Cyclops is the invader of Sicily, If they knew from beginning to end that Sicily would eventually be destroyed, would it make sense for them to climb onto the island?"

"This has touched my blind spot of knowledge," Hua Zhai said without seriousness, "After all, I am not a Cyclops."

Lin Ziyu snorted, and the image of a Cyclops appeared in his mind...the difference with Hua Zhai is indeed quite big.

"Let's go, go back and make peace with the Qihun people." Lin Zijuan greeted, and finally looked around to make sure that he hadn't missed anything, and then he was ready to leave.

Hua Zhai grabbed Lin Ziqian's arm at this moment.

Lin Ziyu: "Huh?"

Hua Zhai: "Everyone is mortal."

Lin Ziyu didn't know why.

"It's not about looking back after death, but when I'm still alive. No matter what happens in the end, I will come to you."

"It's very touching," Lin Zijuan commented lightly, "but I always feel that it's not a good thing to say."

Hua Zhai thought for a while, and agreed: "It's really not a good word."

Hua Zhai let go of Lin Zi Prison, and the two continued to leave at a distance of one behind the other.

After walking two steps, Lin Zijuan suddenly said: "People will regret it."

People will die and regret it.

Everyone is moving forward along the flow of time, constantly ups and downs because of the unknown and the unknowable, and thousands of emotions will be completely cut off at the moment they reach the end.

"Boss Lin, have you ever regretted it?" Hua Zhai asked lightly.

"No." Lin Zijuan gave the answer without hesitation.

Hua Zhai was slightly taken aback when he heard this answer, and then continued after two seconds, "I thought Lin always regretted knowing me."

"It's your fault that you lied to me. I don't need to regret it." Lin Zijuan said indifferently, he didn't know what to think of, and laughed at himself, "Besides... not everything can be beautiful forever."

Hua Zhai behind him fell silent, and the two moved forward in silence.

The sky was getting dark, and the dark night blurred the figure of Lin Ziyu. When approaching the meeting point, Hua Zhai said leisurely, "Why didn't Mr. Lin ask me if I regretted it?"

"Well, I'm asking you." Lin Ziyu cooperated perfunctorily.

Hua Zhai looked up, from Lin Zi Prison's back to the dark sky.

"I'll tell you when we say goodbye for the last time."

Lin Zijuan pointed out the facts, "It turned out that you didn't say anything, and it was a waste of time. I was right not to ask."

"Isn't it just boring, to entertain President Lin." Hua Zhai said.

"Thank you so much."

"Look, the Qihun people haven't come here yet," Hua Zhai said with feigned regret, "If I had known earlier, I would have brought a deck of poker in, and we could still play two."

Lin Ziyu didn't say anything, he found a place to sit down, and waited for the Qihun people to come over.

Hua Zhai walked up to Lin Ziyu and suggested, "Mr. Lin, why don't we simulate it."

"what?"

"Simulate the scene of our farewell," Hua Zhai squatted on one knee in front of Lin Ziqian, and pronounced slowly, "Sayan Nala."

Lin Ziyu: "Is this also your pastime?"

Hua Zhai: "Well, practice in advance, maybe it will come in handy in the future."

Lin Ziyu: "..."

Hua Zhai: "In the future, Boss Lin might become a big boss. He can do anything in the checkpoints, and he can do whatever he wants. My poor ex can only close the microphone and stay in the corner to pile up ashes. "

Lin Ziyu: "All right."

Anyway, before the Qihun people came, Lin Zijuan randomly picked up two classic lines and said, "From now on, I will take my Yangguan Road, and you will pass your single-plank bridge. We will never see each other again, so don't see each other again."

Hua Zhai was picky: "No, this is too gentle, I will miss you even if I don't give up."

Lin Ziyu felt that he was a blind party B, so he could only obediently cooperate with Party A's request, "As far as you go, we will never see each other again."

Hua Zhai was still dissatisfied, "No, I'm not happy with how it ends."

Lin Ziyu finally lost his patience and directly ignored Hua Zhai's existence.

Hua Zhai didn't bother with this topic anymore, his painting style changed suddenly, and he asked about the business, "Then, what's Boss Lin's plan next?"

Lin Ziyu half-opened his eyes and glanced at Hua Zhai. It was dark, and he could only see a silhouette close in front of his eyes.

"Go to the sea," Lin Ziqian said, "to find the illusion."

Hua Zhai smiled: "Okay, I'm good at this."
