Chapter One Hundred and Sixth - Sometimes(1/2)
"Enter the Yuan Dynasty," the little white-haired father came close to me, "You saved our Centaur tribe and cured my son's illness. I am really grateful to you... I am willing to give my life to you."
I dedicate my life to you!"
The little white-haired dad was very excited and held me tightly with his only arm.
They still all knew that I was going to die.
I smiled bitterly, even if he was willing to exchange blood for me, how could I accept it calmly?
To be honest, I really want to continue to live a good life. There are too many things that I have not accomplished, but this has to be at the cost of other people's lives. I feel that I will be in the shadow of guilt and self-blame for the rest of my life.
Moreover, there is no modern medical equipment here, so blood transfusion is probably not possible. Even if I don't die from the poison, there is still a risk of infection.
To take a step back, in my understanding, people with different blood types cannot transfuse each other, not to mention that we still have ethnic barriers. If something goes wrong, isn't it for nothing that I will support him? This is absolutely impossible
Nope.
Before I opened my mouth, Chi You had already spoken.
"Your blood is useless. Because you are unwilling, even if you change it, it will fail."
Chi You's expression remained unchanged, as if he was talking about something unrelated, as if I, who had been with him day and night for so long, were just a stranger. I understood his coldness. After all, he had lived too long, too long.
By now, I should be numb.
"I just said use mine!" Xiao Baimao cried and shouted, but his hand did not let go of my hand.
"No!" Little Baimao's father waved his only remaining arm and slapped Little Baimao with his backhand, interrupting what Little Baimao had not finished.
"Now, I have long been a loser. My only son was seriously injured and has just woken up. My only daughter..." He turned to me, his eyes were red, and he said sadly, "My only daughter... can no longer get involved.
It’s dangerous... people from the early Yuan Dynasty come on!"
I endured the pain in my internal organs and stood up, "I won't, I will never let this happen. As long as I am alive, I will not put Little White Hair in danger."
She had already burst into tears and threw herself on me and began to cry loudly. My chest was stagnant and tears welled up in my chest.
The people around me all had stunned expressions. I didn't care about what others thought, so I patted her back to reassure her and said it was okay.
The days after that seemed to be no different from before. I also took medicine every day. The difference may be that the little white hair is basically clinging to me all the time now. Except for not following me when I go to the toilet, he is basically around me within a meter radius at other times.
within.
Those people no longer criticized her harshly. They must have thought that I would die soon.
The same fainting condition occurred twice more, but I woke up each time.
"It's almost time." Chi You said to me.
I think my story may be coming to an end here, but now I am no longer as panicked as I was when I first found out I was poisoned. People always have a natural fear of unknown things.
"Don't worry too much, I'm from the early Yuan Dynasty."
Little Bai Mao sobbed in the middle of the night and said softly to her, "I'm just going to change places and continue my adventure. You have to live a good life, you know?"
Her eyes, nose and eyebrows were all red from crying.
"You fool, you turn into a little redhead when you cry."
I held her hand and walked outside the cave. From the other side of the valley, many little bugs flew in. Are they fireflies?
They merged into a starry river of light, flowing in the valley. When the mountain breeze blew, it was filled with the fragrance of green grass on the little white hair. I secretly and greedily inhaled deeply, thinking about it for a long time, and a little longer, to remember this smell.
"Little white hair."
"Um?"
"I love you."
"..."
"Little white hair?"
"Um?"
"I'm gone, just forget about me."
There was another gust of wind, stronger, like a giant's mouth, causing the fireflies' light to flicker unsteadily...
It seems to be raining. Are you crying for me?
I fell heavily on the grass, and the stars in the bright night sky eclipsed all the crystals.
Can I still wake up this time?
Or, continue to repeat this endless dream?
I seemed to have turned into a little firefly and started traveling in the vast universe. Everything was unknown and magical to me. It was just that the wind was heavy and the rain was heavy. I couldn't help myself and was blown everywhere.
"water..."
Thirst, my throat is burning and as dry as the Sahara Desert.
"You're awake."
Why is he still this old man...
His expression changed from the previous indifference, and he was filled with excitement!
Is this...what happy event?
"Where's the little white hair?"
"Oh, she," Chi You said after a pause. I had a bad premonition in my heart and was about to collapse.
"She and their tribe have set up camp in a safe place. Staying here is not a long-term solution after all."
Little Baimao, are you leaving?
I couldn't believe it and stood dumbfounded for a long time.
I said I will always be with you...why...why did you leave first...
"You don't really want to stay with that little centaur, do you? Their tribe will never allow such a thing to happen, so they have left. She will marry a strong centaur or a thin one in the future.
Centaur, but I will never marry you."
There is a hollow pain in my heart, as if something has been pulled out, including flesh and muscles...
I understand the pressure of reality that Chi You said, but...I didn't expect that she would leave so suddenly, without even saying hello...
"Huh..." I wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes.
"The injuries of the Centaur tribe have basically recovered, and they have no reason to stay here any longer."
Even if she leaves, she will have to wait for life and death. Who can comfort her for the pain she has caused...
My hands clenched tightly unconsciously, and then relaxed again after a long time.
It's better to leave, we can't spend our whole lives wandering together, and we will only be hurt and die.
"What is this?" I don't know when a scar with a strange symbol was scratched on my hand.
"You gave me a tattoo???" I looked at the scars on my palms and wrists and asked Chi You, please! I'm still a minor on my ID card, and you actually gave me a tattoo!?
"Well, your poison has been cured. What's the fuss about leaving such a small scar?" He returned to his cold demeanor.
This pattern is very strange. It is as tangled as tree roots and seems to have some rules. It is combined into a whole shape, like a banana, more like a waning moon.
Is my poison cured?
"Didn't you say that this poison can only be cured by blood transfusion?"
Chi You was silent for a few seconds, "I, I also suddenly remembered a way, but it happened thousands of years ago, so I didn't think of it for a while."
"Why isn't she willing to wait a few more days..."
"The Centaur tribe knows that your poison has been cured. Don't worry. You can return to the right path with peace of mind. Stop thinking about the long-term love between children!"
In the next few days, I continued to take herbal medicine every day. During this period, I also went to the Medicine Valley several times to completely repair the damage to the internal organs caused by the previous poison.
I have been trying to enrich myself so that I don't think about Little Baimao, but no matter what I do, her face is lingering. I always feel that there is an empty place in my heart.
"Why do I still have a little pain in my chest?" I asked Chi You when I was busy working in the Medicine Valley.
"Your poison has been cured long ago. The pain in your chest now may be your own emotional injury, which I can't cure."
He replied to me without raising his head at all.
Love hurt? Am I hurt? Did the words "love" mean nothing but make me seriously injured?
It's obviously a good thing for me that she's gone. I don't have to worry about her suffering because of me. But now why is it me who can't let go? Is it too selfish?
Chi You was in the Medicine Valley and tried to teach me how to feel the natural energy, but I couldn't enter at all.
"You have too many distracting thoughts in your mind. If you don't get rid of the distracting thoughts in your mind, how can you perceive other things? Feel the amount of material in this world? Let alone absorb the essence." He looked like he hated iron.
I shook my head and asked him, "Don't you have any distracting thoughts in your heart?"
He was speechless for a long time before speaking again.
"That's all, let's give it time. Maybe you will gradually understand in the future. You'd better eat more and see how thin you are. I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand the subsequent trials."
He summoned the lantern swing, and I consciously clung to the iron chain.
To be continued...
