Hope never dies
Just at this moment, the thick white smoke gradually became thinner, and a fiery red figure covered with bruises ran out from behind her.
The sharp eyes of the fierce horse seemed to penetrate the smoke and stare at a place deep in the clouds.
The fiery red horse exerted all its strength, twisting its body into a ball of fire. It let out a roar, rushed in that direction, and disappeared in the smoke in an instant.
Jiang Jingzhao acted decisively, grabbed the arm of the figure in white in front of him, and took her to a place not affected by the explosion.
They didn't go far, and the most urgent thing was to check on Jiang Jingmang's condition first.
Jiang Jingmang fell to the ground, his eyes dull and his face expressionless.
She held the arrow in her heart tightly with all her might. The arrow paused and deviated from its direction, then pierced her heart with the same speed and momentum as before.
And now, she didn't make any sound and didn't react at all, as if she was unconscious.
Quietly.
Jiang Jingzhao didn't want to say any useless nonsense that he could avoid and didn't need her to do.
Jiang Jingzhao is a peerless genius and would not panic or try to shirk responsibility because of such a thing.
She would disagree, but she would just sigh in her heart and would not say it out loud at this time. At most, she would remind you later that "self-preservation is the most important thing."
Solving the problem is what we need to do now.
"Let me check your injuries."
Jiang Jingzhao waved her hand casually, and a brocade box and a porcelain bottle appeared on the ground. She leaned over and reached out to Jiang Jingmang.
Jiang Jingmang's lifeless eyes slowly opened and closed. Suddenly he smiled and said lightly:
"No."
She knew that Jiang Jingzhao could avoid or block the arrow, at least the arrow would not put Jiang Jingzhao's life in danger.
Does she want to save Jiang Jingzhao?
She wanted to...
Never mind, it doesn’t matter.
Jiang Jingzhao ignored her refusal, paused for a moment, then picked up a porcelain bottle and forcefully fed it to Jiang Jingmang, lest he die without noticing.
As the saying goes, she never cares about the thoughts of insignificant people.
Anyway, she just needs to save the person. If the person is not happy, he can solve the problem himself.
What's more, this is actually a very cruel choice.
A person who has lost his spirit will struggle to live when his life is dying; if he lives a peaceful life, he will fall into endless pain.
The pain of choice.
"Pain is better than death...!"
Jiang Jingzhao said this in his heart, but his face looked solemn.
As long as you are alive, there is always hope.
To live, to live, there is no reason, to follow your instinct and struggle to survive.
When people are in pain, just treat yourself as a cat or a dog, wandering around just to breathe, and don't think about anything else.
People just love to be sentimental.
Not thinking about anything is happiness, feel this happiness——
To realize all this, to break through confusion and obsession, only those who have truly hit rock bottom will understand.
Understanding is the next best thing to happiness. Not understanding is luck.
Who can guarantee that he will always be lucky or unlucky?
Change happens in just a moment, and everything turns upside down.
Born to be human, we must raise others. Living is a hope in itself...
Jiang Jingzhao lowered his eyes, his lips twitched, then straightened again.
Jiang Jingmang coughed twice, looked at the expression of the woman in front of him, and smiled again——
Once upon a time, she thought so too.
She raised her hand to block Jiang Jingzhao's hand. Jiang Jingmang supported himself on the soft grass and flowers and slowly stood up.
Jiang Jingzhao also straightened up and looked at her.
“Ahem…”
Jiang Jingmang coughed twice again, then suddenly smiled and said to the person in front of him:
"Help."
A direct request for help.
To be frank…I accepted my own weakness with disappointment. I was so weak and useless.
Jiang Jingzhao was silent for a moment, "Okay."
Behind, the white smoke completely dissipated with the wind.
The wind blew away the confusion and the disguise, revealing the completely dilapidated and collapsed ruins.
Ghosts were howling on the ruins.
Amidst the blood and flesh, those who were barely surviving cried and laughed, felt both happy and sad.
I cried with joy and thanked God.
Laughing wildly, sharply questioning God, why why why why——
Why!!!
A low "woooo" sound, unclear whether it was crying or the wind, blew across the ruins and wasteland.
Death and rebirth, clearly distinguished.
Suddenly, a solemn voice came from afar——
"I am the Queen of Lin Country, married into Yuan Country. I am bound by the friendly alliance between our two countries and should do my utmost to protect their friendship.
"However, His Majesty of the Lin Kingdom has been treacherous and violated the agreement, disrupting the internal affairs of the Yuan Dynasty and being cruel and ruthless at home.
"Your Majesty's foolishness and sins are too numerous to list, just like the tragic situation we are witnessing today. You in Lin are all too aware of this. I... am powerless and filled with guilt.
"But since I am the Queen of Lin Country, and the mother of countless people in Lin Country, I must be concerned about Lin Country and live and die with it."
A low cough was heard, and two figures, one in white and one in red, slowly walked over from a distance and stood on the ruins.
The figure in white walking in front had a silver arrow on her heart, but the expression on her face was very calm.
The river view is vast...
As for her, she is unwilling to open her scars even now. She stands tall and straight like a pine or bamboo, with her chin slightly raised.
The pain that can be expressed is no longer a big deal. The real and deepest pain is hidden deep in the heart, and the touch brings tears.
She stood in the sight of everyone in the city, and her voice spread throughout the entire Lin Kingdom—
"I know that the people of Lin Country are calling for salvation. Do you hear? The voice of judgment, the will of God—
"Oh God, the punishment bestowed upon Lin Nation will be carried out by Yuan Nation!
"After today, there is death and rebirth."
A faint smile appeared on her face, and she placed her hands on the silver arrow on her heart.
“Today, I, on behalf of Lin’s people, sacrifice my life for my country, hoping that future generations will not repeat Lin’s mistakes, and that the world will be at peace and that the people will live happily.
"Linguo, I wish--
"rest in peace."
She smiled, her hand became fierce, and she pulled out the arrow.
The silver-white blood-stained arrow shone with a dazzling white light under the bright sunlight.
Bright White suddenly turned above the ruins, making a sound of breaking through the air.
Blood gushed out of Jiang Jingmang's heart, instantly staining her white clothes red. She smiled and tilted her head.
"I am alone, but I can save thousands of troops. I..." Her lifeless eyes suddenly became lively, bright and sparkling. "Is it powerful..." she said softly.
Jiang Jingzhao looked at her.
I saw myself reflected in her sparkling eyes.
There was a complicated expression on his face.
"Amazing." Jiang Jingzhao paused and added, "Very amazing."
Jiang Jingmang smiled.
Laughed heartily, laughed... and cried again.
The emotions in her sparkling eyes changed again and again, and finally seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, hazy and gray.
Oh, God, maybe you really don’t like me... My broken heart is beating so painfully.
Numb, calm, and relaxed.
Jiang Jingmang slowly fell to the ground, "clang!" The silver-white arrow aimed at her throat fell to the ground. She supported herself on the ground with both hands and looked into the distance.
She really wanted to ask "why", but she only dared to ask "why". She had always been weak and timid, and she didn't even dare to ask "why"...
Jiang Jingmang looked at the sky, looked at the clouds in the sky——
At the very beginning, when she was still in the Yuan Kingdom Palace, she seemed to be looking at the world like this.
Why, why...
Oh, God, do you see the suffering of the world? Do you ever look down?
Is it because, is it because you didn’t see…
Jiang Jingmang felt weak and powerless, and felt so heavy, as if countless water ghosts were clinging to her body and pulling her down.
Her arms bent little by little, obeying the boundless sticky force, and slowly fell to the ground.
The numb heart suddenly started beating rapidly again, "boom, boom, boom, boom," like crazy, ignoring the pain.
She opened her eyes, her gaze brushed across Jiang Jingzhao's black hair, and she looked straight up at the sky.
The last glance brought out an extremely intense and complex emotion.
Is it because... Is it because...
Didn't you see me?
Is it because you didn’t see me?
Because you didn't see me.
All pain comes from hope, all sin comes from yearning for beauty. We clearly agreed not to have any more expectations and hopes in our hearts...
But in this last moment of consciousness, hope broke through the soil like a bud, watered with blood and tears, and grew into a towering tree in an instant.
Hope never dies.
…………
Perhaps the emotions contained in that last look were too strong and complex, and the swing on the distant mountain stopped its creaking sound.
A hand rested on her shoulder from behind.
Gently, without any forceful demands, it is just like a silent comfort and persuasion, a lingering retention and enlightenment.
The girl sat quietly on the swing.
Surprisingly, she never had the urge or strength to get up and leave.
Jiang Jingyuan had a calm expression on his face as he stared into the distance without moving the hand away from his shoulder.
She just put one hand on her leg and held the swing rope with the other hand, and slowly, the swing began to sway again.
For people like them, subtle emotions are real, and strong expressions of emotions are just a means.
I can't go crazy, no matter what I do, I can't even go completely crazy.
Crazy or not, this feeling is like, extremely crazy and extremely calm, neither absolutely crazy nor absolutely calm.
Acting crazy, but thinking carefully.
His thoughts were crazy and chaotic, but he could calm down in an instant, calmly solve things one by one, and then continue to fall into madness.
To be crazy or not, when it's time to be crazy, when you can be crazy, you will act crazy without hesitation. But when it's not time to be crazy, when you shouldn't be crazy, you will be frighteningly calm and indifferent.
The whole person seemed to be cut in two.
That crazy voice screamed in his head, stirring his blood to a boil and violence, but the other person who was outside continued to speak and act calmly, without the slightest sign of abnormality.
That crazy voice was coldly suppressed into the depths of darkness in just a few moments.
"Jiang Jingyuan..."
The hand that was gently placed on her shoulder suddenly turned and rested on her fluffy black hair.
"Jiang Jingyuan..." the person behind him said in a low voice, "It shouldn't be like this..."
Even if it was absolute calm and indifference? Anything was fine, but at least it shouldn't be like this...
Jiang Jingyuan tilted his head and said calmly, "It's not because of you."
It has nothing to do with you, so don't blame yourself or feel sad.
That's just how she is, and it has nothing to do with anyone.
It's just that some people are meant to be alone.
