immortal

The wind stopped.

After the snow, it cleared up, and a faint blue sky finally appeared under the clouds.I walked slowly towards the hillside in the direction the fat man pointed. He wanted to accompany me, but I refused.

The air was cold, and the snow under my feet was only an inch deep. I walked slowly up the winding path, and my heart gradually calmed down.Those perplexities that cannot be ignored in the heart, those gaps in memory, those indistinguishable truths or lies, seem to be less important at this moment.

Climbing up a small hill, I realized that the terrain was a bit special. In front of me was a gentle slope half the size of a football field. I pretended not to see the solitary cypress tree and the stone tablet under the tree. Instead, I approached the edge of the open space and looked down.

There is a circle of low shrubs growing on the edge of the cliff, most of which have thorns. I can’t get very far forward, but I can still feel the strong airflow. The opposite cliff is a whole piece of white boulder, like a knife and an axe. Ren, also can't see the end.

I turned around and walked towards the lonely grave.

It is said to be a tomb, but it has almost been weathered to a flat level, but the cypress tree at the top of the tomb stands towering, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and I don't know how many years it has grown.My hand caressed the cyan stone tablet, which felt cold and smooth to the touch, with a thick layer of patina on the corners. My heart trembled, whether it was time or the human heart that polished the tablet into such a shape.

I tried my best to read the words on the stele. There was no date of birth and death, no birthplace and family members, but only a name——Wu Xie.Sitting on the ground, I stared blankly at the stele, unwilling to return to my senses for a long time.

When I really saw all this, I realized that my heart could no longer stir up too many ripples.I gave a wry smile, and the answer I was looking for all this time actually appeared in front of my eyes, but I didn't want to believe it.

Those faces came to my mind like a movie, and I watched the silent film in front of me as if I was out of it, their lips parted but there was no sound, but I knew that everyone was telling a story, and the story was about me .But in the end the picture freezes on his face.

He once looked at me with a dead face and said - "Impossible."

I suddenly understood, understood everything.I understand what he said to me on that snowy night."I found him," he said.

It turns out here.Be here all the time.

I closed my eyes, my body trembling slightly from excitement or the ubiquitous chill, and I was expecting someone to shout "CUT" in the next second.

Whether life is just a play, the whole world is watching my performance, looking at my own tragicomedy.In this story, the years are peaceful and the world is stable. This story should be like a calm river, slowly flowing forward through life, without deception, without deception, without harm and being hurt, everything is the one you want most Looks like a harmonious family, loving father and filial son, living a good life, comfortable and ordinary.

But I just fell in love with that variable.The gigantic boulder seemed to be thrown in the river, and the huge waves came back in an instant, catching everyone by surprise.

However, this ending is still unbearable for me.It turned out that I had been nothing more than a substitute.

There was a slight sound coming from behind, I didn't turn my head, the man got closer and closer, but stopped within a short distance.He crouched down and put a hand on my shoulder.

"Who is this?" I tried my best to control my trembling voice and asked with difficulty.

There was still silence to answer me, I turned to look at his face, unexpectedly, there was an expression of unspeakable sadness on his face, he lowered his eyes and said, "An old friend."

"It's him you've been looking for?" I followed up and asked, the voice seemed to be not my own: "Am I like him?"

He didn't move, and after a long time, he nodded slowly.

fuck!

The anger that had been suppressed all this time suddenly had an outlet, and I stood up abruptly, but I didn't expect that after sitting on the ground for too long, my legs were already numb and I couldn't feel it. The next time I staggered, I could barely stabilize my figure by leaning on the stone tablet , shook off the hand he held up.

I tore off my coat, took it off and fell to the ground, and started to pull the sweater on my body again. He came back to his senses when I took off only a single shirt, and stepped forward to hold my hands firmly, with embarrassment in his eyes. , he said: "Wu Xie, stop making trouble..."

"Nao?" I suddenly wanted to raise my head and laugh, "Who is Wu Xie? You want to know who I am!" I forcefully broke away from his hand, took a step back, and took off the last piece of clothing , "Look at me... I'm standing here, with flesh and blood, isn't I stronger than this broken stone!"

He looked at me in shock, and I raised my arm to show him, "Here, do you remember? And here..." I pointed to the wound on my forehead, "And..." I pressed my hand The jade ring on the chest.

"Is this his, right? Or do you want to give it to him?" I didn't want to listen to his answer, and I grabbed the jade ring and pulled it down. However, the rope was too strong, and I pulled out my waist easily. The dagger in the middle stabbed straight at the neck.

But his speed was even faster than mine, he was already on top of him in a blink of an eye, and his palms tightly held the sharp knife.The sound of the blade piercing the bone was next to my ears, I subconsciously let go, and the dagger fell to the ground with a clang.I never thought of hurting him at all, and my mind was spinning for a while, and I couldn't help but pull his arm to check the injury.

However, it is unbelievable that not a single drop of blood flowed out of the palm that was cut open in front of him, and the palm that opened the hideous wound.I held his hand, and for a moment I only felt that my heart had jumped into my throat, as if it was about to fall out when I opened my mouth.

He hugged me with his uninjured arm.I slammed into his arms, only to feel that he was also trembling slightly.His hands were firmly stuck behind my back to prevent me from moving, and his face was buried on my shoulders, as if his whole figure was nailed in place.After a long time, I felt a warm fluid flow from the pit of my neck.

That was the most helpless thing he ever said to me.

He said, "Wu Xie, why can't you remember..."

I suddenly felt great grief, it was a kind of indescribable sadness, I felt that I was too old to speak, my heart riddled with holes was ground into powder by endless waiting, it was a torment that ordinary people could not understand, love Parting, nothing you can ask for, all suffering has no end.I hugged him back with all my strength.

I tilted my head to kiss his cheek and the corner of his mouth. This time he didn't refuse. He turned his head and kissed my lips. He bit my tongue fiercely, and the smell of blood lingered between our lips and teeth. Spreading out, I was kissed by him and fell back until I was completely lying on the ground.He pressed up, blocking a side of sunlight, the outline was exactly the same as in the dream.

I closed my eyes, and his appearance was already engraved in my heart.His response seemed to save me from the state of being buried alive, and all the deceit was not worth mentioning.I love him more than all that.Maybe I fell in love with him when I was unconscious, I remember all his looks, I remember him waiting for me under the tree by the lake, the water was not as bright as the one he looked at me; The phone call to me in the dark is worth a thousand words without a word; I still remember that he left me in the snowstorm, and I stood there until dawn.

That's all I remember.It doesn't matter who I am.As long as he is there.

But at this moment, his hand covered my face, from the eyebrows all the way down, to the lips, and finally he sighed, his expression flickered several times, and he still said——

"It's your grave. Your... empty grave."

Behind him was the cold ground, I looked into his eyes, the sparks were like ashes after burning, but for me, it might not be a prairie fire, I was burned without a blade of grass.

I said to him word for word: "Tell me."

He pulled me up from the ground and put the previously injured hand in front of me, where it was intact.He shook his head and said, "I can't explain it." Just as I was about to speak, he laughed at himself again.

"I look like this... What's the use of finding you?"

"What about me?" I grabbed his collar and asked eagerly.

He just stretched out his arms and grabbed the coat I threw aside, and shook it off to cover me.Only then said: "You are you, you are Wu Xie."

My Wu Xie.
