Chapter 3535 (Three Thousand Five Hundred and Thirty-Five) Prosperity
"We will always be with each other, and we will be like this every day in the future." Lu Yinting said, "Do you think we should stand here all the time, or should we go get candles and look elsewhere?"
"You ask like this, maybe you want to go somewhere else? I think so too." Ning Duanye said, "Let's go to my place to get a candle."
Lu Yinting said "hmm".
The two held each other's hands at the same time and walked cautiously in the darkness.
"When I escaped to this place, when I passed by here for the first time, I saw some thatched huts here, all of which were empty. I felt that these thatched huts were for people who came here, and each thatched hut was empty. The houses all look the same, and I don’t know who built them. I’m really grateful to the people who built these thatched houses. When I went in that day, I found that there was really a lot of dust inside, as if no one had lived in it for a long time, but I still felt like it. I was worried about someone. I didn't dare to live here, so I ran a lot further there. Later, I found only one hut there. The thatched hut over there was more secluded, so I stayed there. It was a coincidence that I met you who were injured while practicing Qigong that day. In fact, I don’t usually walk that way. In the deep mountains and forests, few people come to this place. After such a long time, I have only seen my master, my senior brother, and the few bandits just now. Thinking about it, in fact, how many people would come to such a place if they were not hiding from people or doing something to avoid being disturbed? Some things are just unexpected. Who would have expected that robbers would come to such an inaccessible place!" Lu Yinting said, "I wonder what this place was like a long time ago. Was there a time when there were many people now? A place with many people may have been sparsely populated before; a secluded place may be a place where people used to come and go. This place is actually very special in my eyes. Although it is usually quiet, I have been spending time with you in the past few months. During this time, I felt the prosperity in my heart.”
He thought again: Hearing her talk about the prosperity in his heart was at the end of his life.
Ning Duanye said: "Here... there is also the prosperity that I have in mind."
Lu Yinting said: "I used to hear people say that the prosperity of the world will eventually pass. Now I think that the prosperity in my heart is different. It will always be there."
Ning Duanye said: "That's right. In my heart, these few months are a lifetime of prosperity, and this lifetime of prosperity is forever."
The two of them talked some more and then arrived at Ning Duanye's thatched house.
Ning Duanye took out a lot of candles from a bag, lit two candles, and handed one of them to Lu Yinting.
After he slung the bag on his body, the two held hands that weren't holding the candle again.
"Are there candles in the bag?" Lu Yinting asked.
"Yes." Ning Duanye said.
"Bring so many candles." Lu Yinting said.
"I just want to get more. Even though you are the light by my side, I still want to get it." Ning Duanye said.
Ning Duanye said before that when she was by his side, he could see the light. She was the light. He also said that he didn't need to light candles or anything else, and he didn't need the moonlight either. It would be nice to have her here. However, when he said those words, he felt that he was going to die soon, and even if he lived, it would be the same as death. (End of chapter)
