At one time, like you, I thought she took pleasure in killing, and that she was entirely to blame for her death. But as I followed her step by step, I realized that in her heart, there was a loneliness at a loss. A forced indifference, hiding an indescribable vulnerability.
Tu Shansong looked at Liu Zhang quietly in front of him. He slumped on the ground. His eyes were hard to focus for a while. They were just so nihilistic. He looked at everything around him at a loss. After a long while, he cried and laughed. Said:
“You lied to me, she is really happy, if not, I would be happy for her Killing so many people, isn't it pushing her into the abyss step by step?"
Tu Shansong took out a small wooden sign from his arms and threw it to Liu Zhang, his bloody hands trembling. He picked up the wooden sign and could vaguely see it through the firelight on the wall. There were several crooked words carved with a knife on it.
"The Grave of Puppies"
Liuzhang touched the words on it, was stunned for a while, and then said with a smile: "Yes, I gave this puppy to her. At that time, she said that the puppy was annoying and clingy. I thought she didn't like it, so I gave it to her. The dog was thrown to the wild wolf. The puppy was just one month old. She named it Dadai. We watched together. The puppy ran and ran away. She couldn't escape and was bitten to death by a wild wolf."
"She didn't want the puppy to die. She just didn't have any friends. She was afraid that her cowardice would lead to more bullying."
Liu Zhang was stunned for a while. He stared blankly at the wooden board in his hand, rubbing his thumb back and forth on it.
Song continued: "The country of Jing is unruly. The princes and nobles from top to bottom take pleasure in killing and torturing people. There are countless people who care about human life and cover the sky with their hands. The surroundings are like this. She lost her mother because of her lack. If you have too much grace, how can you be more vicious than others? It makes people fearful, how can they live in peace in the palace?"
Liu Zhang turned his head slightly, looked at Song's clothes, and then looked up from below to see that he was spotless and aloof. Since then, I have looked at his orchid and jade trees, and I have seen him as gentle and gentle as jade.
He smiled bitterly twice: "Why do you know this if I don't know it?"
Song did not answer this question, he just asked Liu Zhang: "Your crime, Jingguo's crime, We have long been washed away by the disaster of destroying our country, but we have made one mistake after another. Now you want to restore the country, but now I am just wishful thinking. Let me ask you, would you be willing to trade your life for Xin Yi’s?”
A heart-pounding pain came from the chest. The faith that once supported a person’s life collapsed, and the scene in the past collapsed. Scenes of blood, scenes of cruelty, all turned into bloody scenes at this moment, and scenes flashed across his eyes and mind.
This kind of pain is like putting a person's mind under a jack and beating it, making people feel helpless, but there is nowhere to escape.
He looked up at Song and said with a smile: "Master Song, what are you saying? It is my fault alone. What does it have to do with the princess?"
Song was speechless and looked at the shadow on the side, indicating that he could release the person.
Shadow’s eyes are bloodshot, how could he do it? But his identity required him to obey the prince's orders. He clenched his fists tightly, and veins appeared on the back of his hands.
Liu Zhang crawled out of the prison, and Shadow noticed that his legs had already exposed bones at the knees due to long-term crawling, and there were still broken bones at the break.
Not only that, even his back and abdomen were swollen with huge bulges.
He asked: "Why... are you releasing me? Since I have committed such a heinous crime, why not just kill me."
Song looked at him with a cold light in his eyes: "Kill you, the people of Jingguo will think that you died in serving the country, and they will respect you as the God of War, and Xinyi will bear a lifetime of infamy. Let you go, you live, and you will suffer for her. With that infamy."
Loneliness flowed from Liu Zhang's eyes, but soon, tears came out, but the tears were not sad, let alone despair. There might be a trace of regret, but more of them. A redemption. He shed tears and said: "Thank you for telling me that she is still alive. As long as she is alive, if I can do something, it will be my last atonement."
As he said, He knelt forward a few more times He fell down, but the pain was unbearable after all, and he said to the two people behind him:
"You two, please forgive me for being rude. If you are willing to give me the last trace of dignity, please leave first and let me crawl out of this place alone." The entrance of the cave.”
Shadow wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Song. The two of them immediately turned around and left. When they reached the exit of the corner, a voice suddenly came from behind:
"What happened to Haizhi back then, come here to send me a message." The man of the beast once secretly revealed that it was a sacred beast given by Qingqiu Tu Shanyong."
As soon as he finished speaking, the rain from the sky fell softly, as if being cared for. Tu Shansong clenched his fists and walked out with the two shadows one after another.
It is raining from the sky. The spring rain is as precious as oil. Finally, we have survived this winter.
He walked out of the cave, and Shadow handed him an umbrella, but he didn't take it. Instead, he walked straight into the rain alone.
Shadow held an umbrella and hurriedly followed: "Master, if we let him go like this, wouldn't he seek death if he is so ill?"
Tu Shansong's eyes were blank, looking at the short grass on the ground. Ya: "No, only if he lives can he prove her innocence. Only if he lives can she live."
Shadow is puzzled: "Master, why do you want to let him live?" He is alive. He has killed so many people. Shouldn't he be put to death prematurely?"
Song said again: "There are many pains in this world that are more difficult to endure than death."
Shadow Force. Suppressing the anger in his chest, just a moment ago, he was still thinking that once he sent the young master away, he would turn back and kill Liu Zhang to rid the world of harm. But now he hesitated. He was a little confused, but he believed in the young master. He decided to raise Liu Zhang first. He wanted to see what kind of pain in this world could beat death.
But he ignored Song. The next second, raindrops fell on the tip of Shadow's nose, and he was stunned in place like a thunderbolt.
“The Haechi is a gift from the patriarch!”
But in the blink of an eye, where is the young master’s figure in front of him? He has long since disappeared, letting the raindrops rustle and knock down the rocks.
Shadow remained silent. He jumped up the rock and sat down quietly in one of the caves, facing the exit of the water prison.
After a long time, an ugly body finally staggered out of the hole. Every move was almost difficult, and there were traces of blood on the road he crawled on.
The rain is getting heavier. Liu Zhang climbed out of the hole, raised his head, and used the rain to wash away the blood on his face.
He climbed to a path and found a piece of wood to make a walking stick. Shadow's teeth were itching with hatred. Why was he still looking for a wooden stick? Why didn't he hit him to death!
But Liuzhang didn't. Based on his years of experience in being injured on the battlefield, he immediately made braces for his legs. With the brace, he was able to stand up even though he was staggering. (End of this chapter)
