Under the shade of the tree, through the messy branches, Wuyou squinted her eyes and looked at the sun in a daze. Behind her was a tall and straight man, who stood quietly behind her and pursed his lips without saying a word.
The breeze blew by, picking up a few strands of hair. Wuyou couldn't help but shiver, and subconsciously tightened his warrior robe. It was already the end of summer, and although the sun was hot, Wuyou couldn't feel a trace of warmth.
It had been three days, and she woke up after being comatose for a day, but she did nothing. She just chose a room next to the young city lord and stayed there.
Today is the last day of the three-day period. When the sun sets, that’s when Xue Wu’s soul will be gone.
She once promised that woman that she would take her away at that moment and bury her secretly under a tree in the City Lord's Mansion. That was the Young City Lord's study, the place where he appeared most often. Even though his soul was gone, she hoped that her
The body will remain with him forever.
Wuyou agreed, she really couldn't bear to refuse her humble request.
Although the young lady's body has long lost its vitality, Wuyou has not taken any action. She is waiting. She wants to give them the last three days, but now is the last time, and some parting is inevitable.
"Shall we go?" He sighed slightly, Wuyou's eyes showed a firm light, and he said to Leo.
"Well." Leo didn't say anything. He knew that nothing he could say could comfort her now. All he could do was accompany her.
There was no one in the young city lord's room, except for the young lady and him lying quietly on the bed. Everyone was dismissed by Wuyou, and no one could disturb their solitude.
Slowly walking to the young lady's bed, Wuyou felt that her steps were particularly heavy. Looking at the woman who seemed to be sleeping on the bed, she knew that she would never come back.
Reaching out to hold their clasped hands, Wuyou hesitated in her eyes. She pondered for a moment, but she still forced them apart.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Wuyou seemed to feel the young city lord's slight trembling when he opened their hands.
Shaking his head, thinking that this feeling was an illusion caused by not sleeping for two days, Wuyou cast his eyes on Leo. Leo understood, picked up the young lady and walked out the door.
Wuyou did not follow, she turned around, looked at the young city lord who was still sleeping, and murmured: "You are so lucky, there is a woman in the world who once loved you so much, and you are also very pitiful, because you will never
I have lost her, please live well, because even if you die... you will never find her again..."
Sighing, Wuyou followed Leo's pace.
On the bed, the handsome man was still asleep, and no one noticed that there was a line of clear tears in the corners of his closed eyes.
Under the big tree outside the study, Wuyou looked at the young lady lying flat on the ground, his eyes full of unbearability.
But she still moved, silently reciting a spell in her heart, and a bright fire flashed from Wuyou's fingertips. It was not a fiery hellfire, just an ordinary fire, but the energy contained in it was enough to burn a whole body.
With a frivolous fingertip, that wisp of flame swept through the young lady's body as if it was alive.
The flame was like a battle armor, covering the young lady, but it was so ruthless. In less than a moment, all that was left of her who was still alive was ashes.
Leo wanted to bend down to tidy up, but Wuyou gently pushed him away.
A month-old white bottle appeared from Wuyou's palm. He squatted down and stretched out his slightly trembling hands. Wuyou carefully collected the ashes of the young lady.
Among the gray-white ashes, a piece of green jade appeared. The fire just now did not cause any damage to it, and the jade is still crystal clear.
Rubbing the jade pendant that was a little warm due to the intense fire, two clear words flashed on it: Xuan, Wu.
The jade pendant slipped from her hand when Wuyou was stunned, and fell alone among the ashes, looking particularly depressed.
After picking up the jade pendant, anger flashed in Wuyou's eyes. She suddenly felt very worthless for the young madam. Yes, she regretted it. Although the meeting with the young madam was not friendly, she really couldn't dislike her like this. On the contrary,
Regarding the poor deeds of the young city lord, she really does not deserve the young madam's sincere devotion.
"Maybe I should be cruel and pour the Forgetting Water directly into her to drink..." As if he was talking to himself or to Leo, Wuyou held the jade pendant tightly with regret on his face.
"You won't!" Leo replied firmly.
Wuyou trembled after hearing his words. It was undeniable that what Leo said was right. She would not do that. She couldn't bear it.
"Let's go!" a low-pitched boy shouted, and before he knew it, Leo had already packed up the young lady's ashes and buried them properly.
Standing up, Wuyou didn't look like she was leaving. She put the jade pendant into Leo's hand and said lightly: "Go and put it on him, she will like it!"
He didn't mention her by name, but Leo already understood, but he still had some doubts in his heart. He took a deep look at Wuyou and saw that she had no intention of explaining anymore, sighed, and turned around to leave.
"I have done what I promised you, and I have given him the jade pendant. I will never see him again, because I can't guarantee that I will not be able to help but kill him when I see his face. He is yours to use."
His life was saved, I promise you not to hurt him..."
Wuyou's words were very soft. Even though he was far away, Leo could still clearly hear it. A clear smile rose from the corner of his mouth. Originally, Wuyou didn't personally hand over the jade pendant to the young city lord. He was still a little puzzled, but now that he heard her
With a whisper, all doubts disappeared.
In the room, the young city lord was still asleep, with tears still in his eyes. He glanced at him in surprise. Leo didn't say anything, but just threw the jade pendant into his arms and left.
Not only Wuyou, but also Leo looked down on him. A man who didn't know how to cherish but still wanted to save the life of the woman he loved was not worthy of his sympathy at all.
Wuyou did not tell the young lady's death to the city lord and his wife. He only said that the young lady felt that there was no possibility of being with the young city lord in this life, so she and the young city lord drank the love-forgetting water. She hoped that the two elders could keep this secret and not cause any trouble to her.
.
Although they were reluctant to give up, the two elders still cherished their daughter-in-law very much, so they did not refuse this matter. It was because their son was not good enough and was indeed not worthy of her.
"Tell Wu'er that even though she and Xuan'er will become strangers in the future, she is still our daughter. I hope she can come and see us, or have someone tell her that she is safe and let us know that she is doing well, so we will
Feel at ease!"
The city lord's wife, who regarded the young lady as her daughter, had already burst into tears and said these words with sobs, which made Wuyou somewhat relieved. At least Xue Wu's sacrifice was not in vain.
"She said, never seeing her again is the best ending!" He left these words lightly, and Wuyou left.
Looking at Wuyou's retreating back, the two elders held back their words even though they still had many doubts in their hearts.
"Let's go! This is Wu'er's choice. Let's go see Xuan'er. He should be awake!" The city lord, whose eyes were red, supported his wife and consoled her.
Touching the tears at the corners of her eyes, the city lord's wife nodded in agreement.
"Xuan'er, are you awake?"
"How do you feel? Are you really awake?
Looking at the man lying open on the bed, the city lord and his wife both exclaimed.
Looking hesitantly at the two elders with tears in their eyes, the Young City Master looked puzzled.
"Father, mother, what happened?"
"Just wake up! Just wake up!" Without answering the young city lord's words, the city lord's wife sighed repeatedly.
"Xuan'er, Hongye City was attacked by a dark magician. You were injured and fell into a deep sleep. You have been sleeping for several years." The always wise Lord of the City calmed down his thoughts and explained.
His head still ached after touching it, and looking at a jade pendant left beside him, the Young City Lord seemed to have thought of something, but he had no clue.
"Why do I feel empty in my heart, as if I have lost something very important? Hey... what is this, and why is my name on it?" The Young City Master asked, holding the warm jade.
Looking at the warm jade in Young City Master's hand in surprise, and also surprised that Young City Master had really forgotten Xue Wu, the two elders looked at each other, and a consensus was reached from the intersection of their eyes.
It was the city lord who said so.
"Xuan'er, this jade pendant originally belonged to your fiancée, but it was returned after the engagement was broken off. At that time, you agreed to break off the engagement. You have always regarded that girl as your sister. Now that the girl is married, I will give it back to you.
I said I would give it to my future sister-in-law, so just keep it with you until you meet the person you love."
The words without any loopholes frightened the young city lord who had a memory disorder in the first place. He didn't ask any more questions and went back to sleep.
Seven days later, under the big tree in the study room of the City Lord's Mansion, a man was leaning on the tree trunk, holding a jade pendant in his hand and lost in thought.
After a long time, he slowly said: "Wu'er, is this what you want? Is this your punishment for me? My life was bought by you. I am not qualified to end it, so I can only live in pain."
Go down, is this what you want?"
The man caressed his chest from side to side, holding the jade pendant in his right hand, his eyes filled with pain. This was the Young City Lord who had just woken up.
For some reason, a few days ago, when he came to the study to read, he happened to pass by this tree, and his heart suddenly ached. When he touched the trunk, all the memories that should have been erased came back like a flood.
He knew everything and her decision. He knew that they might never have another life, because when he was unconscious, he vaguely heard someone say:
"You are so lucky. There is a woman in the world who loved you so much. You are also very pitiful because you have lost her forever. You should live well because even if you die, you will never find her again.
..”
He knew that this was not his hallucination, but what the person who saved him said, so he did not end his life and go with her, but chose to continue living.
He can't die. If he dies, he will forget Wu'er. He will imprint her firmly into his soul in the days to come. Even if he is reincarnated thousands of times, he still can't forget him.
There are also his parents. He has already hurt the one he loves most. He cannot let the person who loves him the most get hurt again. He will continue to pretend to forget and take good care of his two elders during their lifetime. This must be what she wants to see...
The rustling of leaves seems to be responding to the secret in the man's heart.
