Chapter 153 Exchanging Lives
I don't understand why, when I heard this, I was not afraid at all, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous, since now, there is still a need to go back to that place, at that time, at the bottom of the Xie Family Ancestral Hall, when the impermanent came out, why did he have to do it to save me. Also tossed so big a circle.
But the little kid red eyes, gazing at me, said, Tan Xi, in what way, I am now also a person ah! I will also have things I care about, will also have people I care about, I also do not want to just accept my fate. But I can't! Do you know how I feel every time I watch you and Tintin together, constantly trying to change the current situation? I used to not care, but after a long time, I suddenly envied you guys a little bit, because if it were me, no matter what I did, the result would be the same, I couldn't escape at all.
I looked at his reddened eyes, silent and didn't say anything, I'm not the kind of person who is bound by fate as he said, so just how much he wants to break free, I simply can't understand.
The little ghost swallowed a mouthful of saliva, paused for a while, before saying, Tan Xi, I am very afraid of death, you know it.
I remained silent, when it comes to death, I'm just as afraid, but fear is fear, in the end when you can't break free, you can only accept it openly.
I just don't understand why the little kid will suddenly put forward such a sentence, if the meaning behind his words, is to say not to do so, in the end he may die, then I don't hate him, or should say, I can't hate. Just like Xia Ruxuan, because I have experienced so many things, I suddenly feel that people in order to live, is what can do anything out of it, as if I once and for all sacrificed my life to commit the same risk, all for, but also just live.
But the little kid's topic suddenly changed, making me a little confused.
He said, in this world, in addition to that father of his, no one has ever been able to get along with him for such a long time as I have. I recalled that from the beginning of knowing the Kid, to the last all the way along, it was not more than two months. This for us ordinary incomparable one thing, change in his body, surprisingly seem extravagant.
He said, if it is not because of the painted skin chasing him thing, perhaps between him and me, but also just meet a nod of friendship, after a long time, see each other again, each other also do not know. The first time he wanted to understand us people, that night, he and the ghost car was forced to the desperate situation, he wanted to live, hoping that someone can come to their rescue, but in his mind turned around, he realized that he simply do not know anyone, the only thing he can think of, is only met twice me.
But he was extraordinarily apprehensive in his heart, what kind of ghosts and monsters is the painted skin, he is much clearer than me, in this world, could there really be someone, in that kind of critical time, risking their lives to come to his rescue?
Just his heart although not hope, but finally followed my breath to find over, let him surprised, I even agreed to go forward to help, which makes him very surprised, then suddenly stirred up a thought, want to understand what kind of person I am.
But in contrast, I was thinking, and not so complicated as the kid, only think it is because of their own relationship, which makes the kid also got into trouble, the heart more or less some guilt only. I also never thought that from that night onwards, it became the base point of our relationship.
The little ghost inhaled, said, Tan Xi, perhaps you have experienced more now, some things do not feel deep. But I can not look forward to that night for the rest of my life, although you do not have much ability, that time I realized, the original people sometimes, really can not care about their own lives. Tintin is like that, and so are you.
I do not know what words to pick up, perhaps now chatting about these, too serious, so much so that I do not know how to speak, the little kid did not wait for me to answer, just said, after that he was with us together things, only to be regarded as he intentionally close to us. In fact, when Painted Skin closed his hand, the little ghost already understood in his heart that they would no longer pose a threat to him, but he didn't know what was going on, originally the ghost car wasn't too badly injured, but when I asked him about his future intentions, he acted as if he was worried about being rejected by us, and made up an excuse that he was afraid of the continued retaliation of Lu Yao and the others, and continued to stay by our side.
The little ghost said that he couldn't tell what kind of mind it was, it was as if he had been bewitched by a ghost, and his lies, unknowingly, came out. But to his credit, I didn't reject it, but rather took it for granted as such.
The period later when I was hospitalized was considered to be a very special period of time that the Kid had experienced, a very special period of time. I recalled that, for me, that period was extraordinarily boring, because all day long, I just looked like I had nothing to do. But the little kid was different, almost since he grew up, he had never spent such a long time with living people, every day he went out to buy a bag of buns and came back, watching Tintin and the hanged ghost fight, to him, it was all extraordinarily new and curious. He even hid outside his room when I didn't know, ringing a bell to drive out the ordinary ghosts in the hospital and keep them away from my hospital room. These things, I only know now, but things have changed, now talk about it, the feelings in my heart, but not as much as before.
The little ghost seems to have opened the box of words, opened his mouth, and could not stop. But I don't know why, but I don't like this kind of atmosphere, as if he doesn't tell me these things now, we won't have the chance to recall them later.
He said that when we decided to go to Jiuye, he didn't know what would happen in that village, and that if he had understood then that things would turn out this way, it would have been better to leave early in the first place.
But it was as if he had discovered a new continent, he was curious about what had happened to Ding Ding and I. He even thought that he could get involved in it, and life, would no longer be that boring and tedious, shuttling from city to city every day, ushering in a batch of ghosts, and sending them away again.
The little ghost said here, suddenly smiled, he raised his head, although the smile looks a little sad, but his face, but also through a trace of slightly sincere emotion to.
He talked about doing the train thing, suddenly looked at me, said Tan Xi you know what, that is still my first time on the train, began to be nervous to death, do not know whether I will do what people laugh at things to, but later found that it is quite simple.
I looked at him, but the feeling of sadness in my heart is getting stronger and stronger, as if he said, all the things that ordinary people can easily access, for him, are new, do not belong to him. Although I couldn't see it at the time, nowadays, when I think about it from his point of view, my heart feels very bad.
I can still clearly recall to this day, when we encountered the beautiful snake, excluding the construction building that time not to mention, the little kid is considered to be the first time to fight side by side with us, although he was clumsy, and did not have the slightest idea about the beautiful snake, and even made Ting Ting's face full of packs, but at that time he, perhaps, was the most naturally complacent time.
But after that happened under the Xie Family Ancestral Hall, everything, too, changed subconsciously.
At that time, when Xia Ruxuan and I went underground, there was a vague feeling of uneasiness in the brat's heart, and although he didn't show it in front of Ding Ding, he was also worried that something terrible would happen. He even advised Ding Ding to tell me to leave, but when it came to that, none of us could give up easily.
And when the Uncanny appeared, the Kid was the first to sense it. Although Ding Ding also found a very scary aura, he couldn't say why, only the little kid, almost from the moment that feeling rose from his heart, immediately rushed in towards the ground.
He expected in his heart that he felt wrong, but when he rushed into that room full of coffins, and saw clearly the huge figure of the Unconstant, his heart was completely cold.
According to his duty, he should not have intervened in this matter, but he could not tell what exactly was the reason, almost subconsciously took out the bell, subconsciously rushed up and saved me from the hands of the impermanent.
I think back to everything on that day, the mood is extraordinarily complex, even the little ghost was silent for a while, then he smiled again and said, Tan Xi, I was not clear about how I thought, but then I understood, this kind of thing, as if at the time in the construction building, in order for us to be able to go, you are also a direct threat to the painted skin with their own life and death. Sometimes all it takes is such a thought, no reason at all, and we'll do it, we'll fight to the death.
He said and laughed, said, I did not expect, in fact, that period of time of short time together, their own hearts, have you as friends, did not think that my kind of people, is also able to have friends ……
He said half of the words, his face suddenly sank, lowered his head, said, but now, we can not be counted as friends ……
I did not answer him, think about the way he stabbed Lin Tian, I know that I simply can not accept what he did, in fact, deep in his heart, should also be clear about this.
After a moment, he pursed his lips, and resumed raising his head, saying, but I can never be like you guys, in the end, I am still afraid of death, that day Xia Ru Xuan took you out of the room in the underground, leaving only me and Wu Chang alone together, I made a deal with him ……!
I frowned slightly, I don't know when I started, I was actually a little afraid of hearing the word deal, although I myself had an agreement with Lu Yao Tan Lan and the others. But this kind of deal was all about gambling with each other's lives.
I stayed for a while, and only then did I gently open my mouth and ask him, what kind of deal ……
He looked at me, the color in his eyes is inexplicable, seems to be extremely difficult to speak, a long time before the difficult spit out a few words, said, with your life, in exchange for my life ……
