Forbidden City of Heze + Dalufei

"Uh..." Ling Ju moaned with a crying voice. Compared with the intense pain, the other party's voice was more like a thousand arrows piercing the heart.He didn't resist, and hung his head weakly, watching in vain as the bright red blood oozed out of his clothes and was washed by the rain into streams of light red.

"Don't worry, I avoided the vital point." Keli lifted his chin, revealing his painful expression, "You don't deserve to be given the dignity of death like a soldier, and experience the people you killed with your heart pain."

After he finished speaking, he clenched the handle of the knife and pulled the dagger out of the opponent's body suddenly. The blood splashed all over the ground and was melted away by the rain in an instant.

"Ahhhh!" The scene in front of him trembled violently, and Ling Ju felt that his nerves were about to be torn. He was in maddened pain. Admire his contorted face without landing.

In confusion, Ling Ju half-opened his eyes in despair, looking at the sharp blade raised in front of him.Just when Keli raised his arm and was about to stab hard for the second time, a gunshot rang out in the distance, and he was shot from behind on his right shoulder, his arm lost strength immediately, and his whole body fell due to the impact to the ground.

Yan Liang came out from behind a tree with a gun in hand. He was soaked all over, and his dripping hair was lying on his forehead, looking very embarrassed.

"It took me a while to clean up those guys, but fortunately it's raining so heavily, there are footprints to follow." He strode up, kicked the dagger out of Keli's hand, and unceremoniously pointed his gun at it. Between his brows.

"Two like-minded traitors!" Ke Li raised his face with a sneer, the deepest hatred in his eyes.He had already experienced the most complete blow in his life, and when the glory he believed in fell, nothing mattered, "Lost dog, you will die!"

"Wait... just a moment, Yan Liang!" Ling Ju leaned weakly, clutching the wound on his abdomen tightly, his breathing was disordered, and he was sweating coldly, as if he would go into shock at any moment, "Don't kill him...I beg you... He did nothing wrong... I beg you!"

"Ling Ju." Yan Liang clicked the pistol into the chamber, his eyes pierced him through the rain curtain, "A soldier like him must die on the battlefield, at the point of the enemy's gun, don't insult what they desire s things."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gunfire exploded.The heart shrank violently from the shock, and before Ling Ju could utter a scream, Ke Li's head exploded, and his body fell heavily on the ground, splashing water.

He sat on the spot with his mouth open, like a frozen statue, so shocked that he even forgot the pain in his heart.Until Yanliang walked in front of him, stretched out a hand and said, "Can you stand up?"

Ling Ju ignored him, just lowered his head in a slumped manner, hot tears kept pouring out from the corners of his eyes, and dripped onto the ground where the rain and blood flowed.Then he moved his body with difficulty, crawled up to Keli's corpse bit by bit, and buried his face in the young man's chest.Their blood gradually mixed together and spread out along the trickle of rainwater.

"Yan Liang, kill me." He broke down in tears and said, "I really... really should die by your hands."

The rain stopped in the middle of the night, and they finally walked into the ruined camp.Although the twilight of dawn has not yet come, just by the choking smell of gunpowder and the smell of burnt items in the air, one can already imagine that this is a piece of scorched earth with no grass left.

Relying on the temporary lighting provided by the army, Ling Ju struggled to identify the place where Jier used to live. A tourniquet was tied to his abdominal wound, which could temporarily suspend his life.On the way, he kept passing by soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield, and saw the charcoal-black corpses piled up by them. At first, he could resist the urge to vomit and look at them twice, but in the end, he was numb.

What am I expecting?

The black charcoal-like unknown objects kept being crushed under his feet, and he even nervously suspected that these were human limbs and broken arms.Jill's young and weak body was probably crushed to ashes by the hard leather boots of the soldiers long ago, and disappeared with the wind.

The first rays of the morning sun fell over the clearing where they had played, and Ling Ju faced the black remnant of the tent.Been sitting still for over an hour.He identified these relics that had not been devoured by the fire one by one, including the iron pot for cooking, a small number of tableware and utensils, and the tent frame, and the rest had lost their shape.Jier was nowhere to be found. There were thousands of civilians in this huge hidden base. In such a devastating chaos, it was not known where she died.

But even so, Ling Ju had nothing else to ask for.He maintained his sanity like walking a tightrope, closed his eyes and recalled the days spent with her, recalled every movement and every expression, vividly revived in his mind, and settled deeply into his heart.

There is an angel who came to this world, she is fleeting, but I have to remember, even my own life is not long.It was the last... the only thing that could be done for her.

When he opened his eyes, he had already completely collapsed, kneeling on the black remnant, scratching his hair, hitting his forehead against the rough ground desperately, screaming hoarsely.The heart seemed to be taken away, leaving only an empty hole in the left chest.

"Let's go, it's almost time." After some time, Yan Liang's voice came from behind.Seeing that he didn't respond, he grabbed Ling Ju's arm, dragged him up from the ground like a dead dog, and said to the distraught young man, "Find a place with a good view and execute you."

Ling Ju didn't know how long he had followed this man, he had already lost his sense of anything, and just followed him habitually, leaving the cold battlefield and entering the depths of the deserted jungle until the sun was shining.

When they finally reached a clearing on the top of a mountain, he realized that the "place with a good view" that Yan Liang said was not a joke, this place is really a place with an excellent view.

Standing on the top of the sunny mountain, the sky is cloudless and the sun is dazzling, the lush vegetation under the feet stretches to the blue-gray mountains in the distance, everything is silent in the ears, only the warm wind blowing through the ears carries The dry scent of pollen, the vitality of all things is warmly surrounding him.It's a pity that this is no longer the time to enjoy the scenery.

Ling Ju, who was already injured, was completely exhausted when he came here, and fell to his knees on the ground. He raised his head and gasped for breath, staring at the boundless azure blue with fascination.When he was qualified to enter Lan Xiao, he proudly determined that he would sacrifice himself in the arms of the sky, just like his father who died young.

Fortunately, this place is the closest to the sky, so it is a good place to end.He smiled wryly, thinking that this guy Yanliang is sometimes surprisingly meticulous.

At this moment, the cold muzzle of the gun was already resting on his temple.Yan Liang's tall body stood beside him, blocking most of the sunlight, his fingers loaded the chamber neatly, and the weapon made the clear and crisp sound that both of them were most familiar with, that pleasant signal was the prelude to the execution.Ling Ju couldn't tell how many times he looked up at this man like this. The atmosphere of being alone together made the last few minutes of his life extremely peaceful. He closed his eyes lightly, and combined his breathing with the other's rhythm.

If I had to be as strong as you to survive, I would no longer be afraid of death.If you have to be unable to love and trust, so as not to be hurt by you, I...

I'd rather die by your hands.

Pressing down with the index finger, the firing pin struck forcefully, and the pistol made a light click.

A leaf fell suddenly, touching the soil soundlessly.The pace of time is slow, and the surrounding scenery is still calm and full of vitality. The breeze passing by is mixed with the fragrance of grass, and the breath is not in the slightest disorder.

Other than that, nothing happened.There was no deafening explosion, the scorching heat of gunpowder and the huge impact, and the temple was not blasted into a bloody black hole.Ling Ju's consciousness froze for a moment, and then started to work again.He opened his eyes hesitantly, and raised his head to look at Yan Liang.

Forgetting to load a bullet should never happen to this man, right?He opened his mouth in confusion, and was about to say something, but the other party preempted him.

"I said that I will make you give up and leave this world without worries."

Yan Liang put down the gun and turned his back.I don't know if it was because the surroundings were too quiet, but under the dazzling backlight, his voice showed a gentleness that he had never had before. For Ling Ju, it should be a long-lost gentleness.

"Leave my world."

Leave this world where you can only live as an instrument of war.

Yan Liang put the safety on the gun, put it in the holster between his hips, and looked at the calloused palm of the weapon.From the moment he walked out of the Xinchen base, the figure of Junliu has repeatedly appeared in his mind, and he can't get rid of it.When that young man resolutely rejected him and chose to follow his own path, Yan Liang really hoped that he could be as frank as he is today.

"You are obviously weak, so you should do less stupid things that are easy to die. Don't be brave and say that you are not afraid of death. This kind of words will make people angry. I don't want you to die, so I want you to be afraid, afraid of death and afraid of getting hurt , I was so afraid that I just wanted to hide, stay away from danger, and run away to a place where the war and the army can't touch."

Ling Ju's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe his ears at all.He was even suspecting that he had been beaten to death, and this was just a daydream from the flashback.

He was speechless for a while, unable to say anything.She just struggled to stand up, wanting to walk around in front of Yan Liang, to see his expression at this moment.

At this moment, a crisp cry from afar grabbed his full attention.

"father!"

Jill! ?Ling Ju was shocked and stood there dumbfounded, feeling that all this was too unreal.When he saw the petite figure of the girl appearing on the other side of the mountain top, passing through the lush wormwood higher than her shoulders, waving golden wildflowers in her hands, and running towards him clumsily, he was dizzy up.
