Chapter 2034 (Two Thousand and Thirty-Four) That Day
Tiejin Juexiang: Sister, do you know when she painted this? The last time she went to the battlefield to fight against the demon, she was injured by the air arrow fired by the demon king. After being brought back, she was unconscious for a long time. The doctor said her life was in danger. Fortunately, she woke up later! After resting for some time, she already knew that her martial arts skills were all gone. I was too busy for a while and didn't teach her painting until the day she painted a cactus. I remember that day I asked her, "You don't have any objections, do you?", and she said directly to her. I said that official duties were more important, and I also said that she was taking care of her health some time ago. Although it was not impossible to go out and paint, it was better to rest indoors. She said it was time for her to come out and her uncle was free, and then said, "Isn't this better?" I still remember seeing the look on her face when she told me this, and I thought of you at that time. I can't tell you exactly what it is about her that looks like you, but I just feel like she looked a lot like you back then. She took the initiative to ask me what she was learning to draw that day, and I told her to draw a cactus. I do it to encourage her. She had worked hard to practice martial arts for so many years, but she lost all her martial arts due to injuries on the battlefield, and at that time she already knew that her martial arts would probably not be restored. For so many years, she has worked hard for that ideal. If she wants to realize that ideal, if she wants to become the future leader of the Tiecang tribe and change the general environment, she must have strong martial arts. She had also used the phantom spear technique to rescue the blue-armored people in groups again and again. After being injured, all the martial arts she had practiced for many years were lost. If she could not recover her martial arts, let alone become the future leader of the Tiecang tribe, it would be difficult for her to rescue the blue-armored man like before. In my opinion, this is a good match for her. It was a fatal blow to her, so I wanted to encourage her to be strong by teaching her how to draw a cactus. After I told her about drawing cacti, she told me that she liked cacti. She said that cactus is not only beautiful to look at, but it can also grow tenaciously in the desert. Although the growing environment is harsh, its vitality is very strong. She seemed very determined when she said that, and I was very happy after hearing it, because I taught her to draw a cactus that day just to encourage her to be strong. Who knew she would say such a thing herself. Looking at her expression at that time, I felt that she was not in a bad mood. However, I wasn't sure if the way she acted was just superficial, so I decided to continue talking to her about being strong. I told her that sometimes the worse the situation, the stronger the life. She nodded. I taught her how to draw cactus, and while teaching her, she told her how strong those cacti were when they grew in the desert. When Hongyan was painting the cactus, I looked at her expression and felt that there seemed to be no shadow deep in her heart at that time. I guessed her state of mind by looking at her paintings. Sister, look, is the cactus she painted then full of life? Look at the flowers on the cactus. Are they very bright? When I saw that the painting she painted looked like this, I felt a little relieved.
Tie Jinjue spread another painting on the bed - a cactus painted by Tie Hongyan.
Tie Jinjuexiang: Sister, look at this cactus. This was painted on the day she painted the cactus. While I was teaching her how to draw, I said that the cactus is relatively round. Although it is not absolutely round, if it is too round, even if it is magical, it will not be able to achieve its shape. I told her that what I wanted to achieve was to be both physically and spiritually. (End of chapter)
