[Unexpectedly] Brother Bai asks for marriage!

?I cried all the way home that day. People on the road asked me what was going on. I couldn't say anything. I just cried. I saw that I was so angry when I came out of Brother Bai's house that I scolded him. Immediately they all yelled and cursed back.

Brother Bai is not wrong, he didn't bully me, he is very good, but I can't marry him.

My eyes are swollen from crying, red and hot, and it hurts to shed a tear, but I still can't stop it. My mother bought a lot of candied haws to cheer me up, but I don't even want to look at it.

"Little Hua, don't be sad, isn't it just a Murong Bai? What's the big deal? Our little flower is so good-looking, gentle and kind-hearted, which one is not the one who is rushing to get it? Mother-in-law will find you a Murong Hei." Murong Hong, I'm sure she's a hundred times stronger than that little boy!"

"No... hiccup... so you say... hiccup...Brother Bai!"

I cried and said.

"Others... hiccup... no matter how good... hiccup... what's the use! I just... hiccup... like brother Bai!"

"Oh, you silly child!" My mother was so angry that she knocked on my head, and I was sobbing and didn't want to talk to her.

The initial excitement is over, calm down and think about it, I'm actually not particularly sad, because I always feel... Brother Bai's words are not sincere.

Don't say this again, it's definitely not true!

He said he liked me, he wanted to marry me, and he said I couldn't marry him. It was so contradictory. It was so strange. There must be some mystery in it.

Wait for me tomorrow, I will go to the school tomorrow, and ask the master to understand!Wiping my red and swollen eyes, I made up my mind.

Early the next morning, I jumped out of bed and was the first one to arrive at the school for the first time, anxiously waiting for the arrival of my master.

As soon as he came, I stuck to it, told him what happened yesterday, and asked him what he meant.

The master stroked his beard and looked at me with a smile: "If you don't pay attention, the little flower has grown so big."

"My master! Just tell me!"

"Okay, okay—oh, hello, I'm an old bone, so don't shake me, okay?" The master put a serious expression on his face, and explained to me what Brother Bai said sentence by sentence.

"Did you notice that he said 'can't', that you 'can't' marry him, what does that mean?"

"What did it say?"

"Explained—hey! You have learned everything I taught you from the dog's stomach? You seem to be very clever on weekdays, why can't you figure out this thing? You are really a fan of the authorities." The master shook his head and pretended to be off.

"Master!"

"Ahem, it means that it's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't, that is to say, there's something blocking him from doing this. But then again..." The master muttered softly.

"What's stopping him?"

"I don't know. If you want to know, you can ask him yourself." The master waved his fan, and it seems that this is the end of the story.

"I'll ask him right now." I stood up abruptly, turned around and ran outside.

"Hey! The biscuits we agreed upon, the biscuits from Xiaomei's house, don't forget!"

"Got it! I will never forget it!"

Running out of the school, I didn't rest all the way, and ran to Brother Bai's house in one breath.

At the door, I hesitated. I have been to this place countless times and I am already very familiar with it. Why does it look so strange and scary today?

Gathering my breath, I walked in slowly and stumbled in the dark corridor, which reminded me of the first time I came to look for Brother Bai.

"Who?" A voice came from the darkness, and then a gust of wind came towards me, and Brother Bai, dressed in white, appeared in front of my eyes.

"...It's you." He was obviously taken aback.

"Brother Bai..." I called him, and after I finished, I couldn't speak anymore, just stared at him.

It's only been a day since I saw him, why do you feel that he has been so haggard?His face was tired, his eyebrows were gloomy, and there were two dark circles under his eyes.

"your eyes……"

"your eyes--"

I opened my mouth, but my voice seemed to overlap. I looked at him unexpectedly, and blinked. It still hurts to move my swollen eyes.

"..." I couldn't help laughing, saying that you don't want to come again, Brother Bai is really stubborn.

Brother Bai's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak.

I ignored him and walked straight inside, "I have something to say, why, you don't want to ask me to sit down?"

Brother Bai didn't move, "I said, don't come here again."

I turned around, "Is that your truth?"

"Yes." He didn't avoid my gaze, his expression was gloomy.

I've never seen such a brother Bai before, he looks like a different person.

My heart hurts a little, it's only been a day, what happened to him?Why did it become like this?

"I don't believe it." I turned around, "You obviously like me, why don't you want to see me, don't want me to come to you again."

"Some things are already known to be impossible, so there is no need to waste your efforts." Brother Bai said, but I could tell that he was trying to be brave.

Obviously the eyes have started to flicker, the corners of the mouth have been pursed so tightly, obviously... the expression is already so sad, why do you want to say something that makes yourself even more sad.

"Brother Bai, why, why did you hurt yourself like this?" With a crying voice, why did I want to cry again, my eyes were obviously swollen like this, and it would be very painful to cry again.

"I do not--"

"You said I can't marry you. Why can't I? Is there something stopping me? Or is there something stopping you? You tell me, and I'll break it!" I walked towards Brother Bai step by step. I was a little embarrassed and wanted to back away, but I stepped forward and grabbed his hand.

Cold hands.

Tears welled up in my eyes and I bit my lip hard to keep the sobs from leaking from my mouth.

Brother Bai is already leaning against the wall, his expression is extremely sad, and special... desolate, such an unknown feeling makes me afraid, afraid that he will go away from my world at any time without my knowing .

I grabbed his hand even tighter and pressed it to my face, trying to warm him with myself.

"Xiao Hua, do you know the origin of Stone Niu Town?" Brother Bai finally calmed down, he looked at me with gentle and sad eyes.

"I know." When I was a child, I would always hear from adults, saying that a generation of masters came out of this place, capable of conquering demons and demons, so people settled down here and multiplied. What happened?

"I heard it from people in the village?" Seeing me nodding, the corners of his mouth turned up, showing an unknown smile, "I don't need to listen to the rumors that have been passed down, but I know what it will be like, but it is not true. "

"What do you mean?"

"I'm going to tell you some boring things next, are you willing to listen?"

"You said."

Brother Bai looked at me tenderly. I like that look, but it also makes me sad.

Then he opened his mouth and told a completely different story from what I knew.

Stone Niu Town is used to seal a big monster. That big monster is very powerful. Once it is released, it will cause chaos in the world, so it must be locked here firmly so that it cannot cause harm to the world.And it was Brother Bai's ancestor who first sealed this monster. He also ordered his descendants to guard here for generations to protect the safety of this place.But the big monster is a big monster after all, and it is hard to get rid of the resentment after being sealed. After all, the seeds of resentment were planted in the blood of Brother Bai's family and passed down from generation to generation. Moreover, each generation is more serious than the next generation, and this resentment also has After the name, it is called the heart demon.

And due to the influence of inner demons and the need to deplete energy for sealing monsters, people in Brother Bai's family... all lived short lives, and the longest lived only lived for more than thirty years.

"I'm over twenty now, and I can't live for ten years, but you, Xiaohua, can live a long, long time. The person who needs to be by your side should not be me. I can't accompany you——"

"Stop it!" I didn't want to hear any more, I hugged his neck tightly.

Don't say any more, I feel so bad, my heart hurts so much!

Why is it like this, brother Bai, and his ancestors, who obviously saved the world and guarded us all the time, why should they be treated like this?God is so unfair, they should live longer than all of us!

"Brother Bai..." Thinking that he can only live to be more than 30 years old, I feel sad as if he is about to die, "Is there any way? I will share my life with you, okay? I don't want to live so long , I want you to live with me..."

"What silly things?" Brother Bai gently stroked my hair, but the more gentle he was, the sadder he made me, "Look, I'm so useless, I can't be with you, and I always make you cry."

"No! Brother Bai is the most useful and powerful person in the world! I like Brother Bai the most!" I couldn't breathe from crying, feeling really uncomfortable.

At such a time, brother Bai actually wants to push me out.

Brother Bai is such an idiot!Does he think I will really marry someone else!I don't want anyone except Brother Bai!Even if we can only be together for ten years, I still want to be with Brother Bai!

"Brother Bai, you have to promise me one thing." I stopped crying a little bit, and I tried to open my eyes wide and stared at him.

"You said."

"Try to live longer, longer, I want to be with you longer." Tears blurred my vision again, and I wiped them away vigorously, "Brother Bai, I want to marry you!"

Brother Bai looked at me in shock, with a strange expression, as if he wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.

"I won't live long."

"Then try to live as long as possible!"

"I still make you cry all the time."

"Then come and wipe my tears, come on!" I took his hand, he looked at me with a complicated expression, and then pulled me into his arms.

"Xiao Hua, you will regret it."

"Then don't give me a chance to regret it." I hugged him tightly, as if I wanted to rub him into my body, never to be separated. ?
