Chapter 23 A moment is an eternity

As Tao Yue'er spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and snot and tears ran down her face.

Hua Ling looked at her, still expressionless, and said calmly: "Even without this fire, they wouldn't have survived long."

"So you can watch them being burned to death with peace of mind?" Tao Yuer'er roared: "If possible, I really hope they all turn into demons and kill all the people who killed them!"

"They will not become demons." Hua Ling said calmly: "Under my upbringing, they have long looked down upon life and death and have no obsession."

"So they disappeared from this world forever? They were just children! They didn't even have a chance to look at the vast sky outside!"

"They knew early on that they would never have another chance to see the outside world. They didn't expect it. If they didn't expect it, they wouldn't be disappointed. If they didn't expect it, they wouldn't become demons." After Hua Ling finished speaking, Tao Yue'er fell silent.

Already.

In fact, Tao Yue'er also understood that they would not live long.

But what can be done? In addition to themselves, they also carry Tao Yuer's hope.

Almost all the meaning of her life lies in those children.

But now they are all gone. They turned into charred corpses one by one and were carried to an unknown place for burial.

What about her?

Where should she go for the rest of her life?

As the last child's body was carried out, the door of the epidemic center was locked again, and no one was allowed to enter or exit.

The crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only a piece of scorched earth between heaven and earth. Everything in the past no longer existed.

Tao Yue'er's heart felt empty. For a moment, there was no reaction. Even when Hua Ling suddenly held her hand, she didn't notice it.

Hua Ling led Tao Yue'er and walked forward. After not walking far, they came to the mountain and saw a man hanging from a big tree with a crooked neck. The man was wearing mysterious clothes, with a long sword on his back and a knife in his throat.

Blocked with a ball of rags.

It was Ji Hanyu.

Hua Ling pointed at Ji Hanyu and said, "If you are angry, just vent it on him."

Ji Hanyu struggled around, but his hands were tied. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't muster any strength, let alone scream.

"Why did he get to the tree?" Tao Yue'er was stunned. Tears were still rolling in her eyes, but after seeing him, even her sadness was temporarily forgotten.

Hua Ling did not answer quickly, but just took the sword that was lying aside. The long sword came out of his body, and with a flash of cold light, the rope in his hand was cut open, and Ji Hanyu fell to the ground with a "bang".

Head on the ground.

Ji Hanyu's forehead hit a rock. Although there was no blood, a large piece of flesh was broken and a big bump immediately swelled up. It was both funny and pitiful.

Tao Yue'er is cowardly. When she sees a weak person, no matter how heinous a person is, she will always soften her heart first.

She hurriedly helped him up and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Uh... uh uh..." Ji Hanyu wanted to speak but couldn't, so Tao Yue'er took out the rag from his mouth again.

As soon as Ji Hanyu could speak, he immediately cursed fiercely at Hua Ling: "You, what did you spread to me?!"

Hua Ling said lightly: "Fragrant powder."

"You are despicable!" Ji Hanyu became even more angry and roared: "What's the point of sneak attacks? If you have the guts, let me go and let's compete again! You raised a bunch of..."

Before Ji Hanyu finished speaking, Hua Ling kicked him again, knocking him so hard that he couldn't stand up.

Tao Yue'er was stunned. She never expected that someone as weak as a hualing could actually kick the tall and strong Ji Hanyu to the point where he couldn't stand up.

"How did you do it?" Tao Yue'er was surprised.

"It's not difficult to find the right acupuncture points." Hua Ling said calmly, with cold eyes and precise movements, which was really unpredictable.

Ji Hanyu was in so much pain that he couldn't even hum. He bent his knees and was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.

But Hua Ling felt it was redundant to even look at him.

"What are you going to do with him?" Hua Ling walked up to Tao Yue'er, took out a dagger from his arms, and handed it to her: "You can kill him or chop him into pieces. No one will know."

"Kill, kill?" Tao Yue'er was shocked and couldn't recover for a long time.

Ji Hanyu also looked surprised and looked at Tao Yuer hurriedly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Hua Ling said calmly: "He was the one who told Jiufangliao about the epidemic center. Although he didn't set the fire, he was indirectly the murderer who killed everyone."

Tao Yue'er didn't dare to take the dagger, Hua Ling took her hand directly, put the dagger in her palm, then pointed at the back of Ji Hanyu's heart and said: "Just stab here and you can give it to the children."

Revenge was taken."

Tao Yue'er waved her hands hurriedly: "Yes, but..."

"Don't you dare?"

Tao Yue'er nodded: "No, I don't dare."

"You don't even dare to kill people, and you still want to seek revenge from the government?" Hua Ling snorted coldly, looking at Tao Yuer'er with a bit of teasing in her eyes.

Tao Yue'er frowned, thought for a long time, and finally handed the dagger back to Hua Ling in Ji Hanyu's frightened eyes, saying: "But if you kill him, the children won't survive. He did his job.

, he still wants to save me, so he’s not a bad person.”

"Oh?" Hua Ling said amusedly: "Then do you want to take revenge?"

Tao Yue'er thought for a while, then finally shook her head and said, "No."

"Oh, forget it then." Hua Ling put the dagger back into the scabbard and put it in her arms.

In just a quarter of an hour, Ji Hanyu experienced life and death. After escaping, he didn't know whether it was pain or nervousness. Unable to hold on any longer, he rolled his eyes and fainted.

Tao Yue'er was very anxious when she saw this: "He, he fainted, what should I do?"

Hua Ling originally wanted to find a place to bury him, but seeing Tao Yue'er's appearance, she probably wouldn't agree to this, so she said, "Leave him here, he won't starve to death."

"..."

"Although, but, even if..." Even if I don't die from hunger, I'm afraid I'll get sick from the cold night. What if it rains again?

"Listen to me, he won't die."

After Hua Ling finished speaking, she took Tao Yue'er directly down the mountain.

To the south of the mountain is Jingcheng, the capital of Jingguo. In the city, there are great fireworks and lush scenery.

In the past, Tao Yue'er had been living in a slum and rarely came to West Street. The few times she did, she just passed by.

Every time she passes by here and sees the flowers blooming in the shop and the balsam filling the streets, she feels very envious and longing, but today, she is not in a happy mood.

This prosperous and prosperous age has nothing to do with her. What has to do with her is the friends in the Salesian Bureau who were burned down.

They are as lonely, helpless, and homeless as she is.

Tao Yue'er found a pawn shop, pawned her coat for some broken silver, then bought some incense and candle paper from the incense and candle shop, and returned to the epidemic center with Hua Ling.

The ruins of the disease center were scorched black. The paper money scattered all over the sky was Tao Yue'er's last tribute to them.

Each and every one of their small silhouettes is glimpsed. Although it is short-lived, as long as someone remembers it and exists in the hearts of others, the moment is also eternal.
