Chapter 12 The Beautiful Painting of Death

In the middle of the night, Mr. Zhang Yuanwai was sitting in his west wing room. The bookshelf behind him was full of books, but he didn't look at it. Mingyue murmured: "I did what you said, and I gave you what you wanted, but I... I can't go back, right? In the future, I want to see you again, don't you?" Is it difficult too?"

In the night, there were only birds flying across the sky, and no one responded to him. He lowered his head and smiled: "Yes, it was written in the contract, and I am willing, but I want to see you again, and only one good."

The black night sky was suddenly dyed a scarlet color, like blood. The cat in the yard ran away because of fright and disappeared. Mr. Zhang stood up, but showed a happy smile. He was looking forward to the distance : "Did you hear my appeal? Have you come?"

Under the moonlight, a red dress gradually descended from the sky and floated towards it. The bright red gauze dress looked strange in the night, and the bare feet and slender white legs that were looming were almost shining under the moonlight. Glittering, like the dazzling light emitted by countless gemstones under the night sky.

Mr. Zhang was pleasantly surprised, he looked extremely energetic, he jumped out of the window with his arms out, and chased after those white legs.

There are two bells hanging on the ankles of the white legs that are exposed in the red gauze skirt, and they will jingle when they move. Seeing Mr. Zhang running, those legs suddenly soar into the air, red The gauze skirt fluttered in the moonlight.

Mr. Zhang chased him out of the courtyard, and shouted while chasing: "Don't go, girl, please listen to me." Mr. Zhang tripped over the stone under his feet and fell to the ground. Then he saw those white bare feet standing in front of him.

Mr. Zhang raised his head happily: "Girl."

The slender fingers painted with red Kodan held Mr. Zhang's arm, and were about to pull him up. Mr. Zhang got up in a hurry after being flattered, but he didn't dare to look at the woman's face in front of him. He just lowered his head: "Girl, I know, I I shouldn't expect to see you again, but I want to."

The woman spoke softly, her voice was empty, as if she could pass through the sky, but also seemed to be immersed in her ears: "No problem, I should thank you for giving me your most precious thing."

Mr. Zhang smiled silly, and raised his head while talking: "Girl, Jiang Jichen came to look for me today, he seems to have noticed that I am pretending, he."

Zhang Gongzi is like a teenager in love, blushing because the girl he likes is in front of his eyes, his voice is full of joy, but when he finally raises his eyes, he sees the longing girl in front of him. When he was a girl in front of him, his face was terrified, that was not the appearance he had dreamed of day and night, the person in front of him had blood-red eyes that were almost bleeding, and the original soft and glamorous appearance had already changed color.

Mr. Zhang was startled and fell to the ground in fright: "You? Why did you come to see me again? During the day, I have already told you what should be said, why do you still come to me?" He turned his head and shouted behind him, " Come, come! Come, come!"

But no one around appeared, as if the whole world was hypnotized, no one could hear his cries.

On the opposite side, the woman stepped forward and gradually approached Mr. Zhang. As she approached, the red gauze skirt on her body gradually faded, turning into a black feather.

Mr. Zhang was terrified and sad, "I gave everything up. Now, I just want to see the girl again. I don't have any extravagant thoughts. Why?"

I can't see the man's face, but I can only see him approaching step by step, and finally squatting in front of Mr. Zhang, with a mocking smile on his face: "You think that you can get the girl's curtain after giving everything, You're just a mortal, you think too much."

Mr. Zhang was no longer afraid, but laughed instead: "Since the contract I promised the girl, I never thought that I would be able to leave Chang'an alive, but I never thought that this day would come so soon."

The man who couldn't see his face sneered: "Then why are you?"

Mr. Zhang lowered his head, sadly: "Do you understand love? Love is not a long-term protection, but a moment of heartbeat, and you are willing to give everything you have to the other party. That is the ultimate. Love," he responded to the man with a mocking smile, "I can give the girl what she wants, and even if you guard her for 100 years, 1000 years, so what? Your guarding is humble, useless, is Makes me feel poor!"

From the man's back, he could feel the man's efforts. He stood up suddenly and raised his hand to point at Mr. Zhang. There was a bright red fire in his palm, but he didn't make a move for a long time.

There was a tear in the corner of Zhang Gongzi's eyes, but he smiled on his face: "I deserve it, and I never regret it, because in the future, the person he loves will have the soul in my body, and that will be the proof that I am guarding her." , is the proof of love, and you will get nothing."

In the dark night, a tearing bird song pierced the sky, a gust of wind blew by, and the silence was restored, the shadow of the tree fluttered, and the tree flower in the yard fluttered down with the wind, and the petals fell down, disturbing, and fell on the people under the tree , the boy closed his eyes, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, he was wearing luxurious gold thread clothes, lying under the tree, as if he was asleep, but blood was gradually oozing from the corners of his lips, the lifeless On his face, a flower of the other shore gradually loomed between his eyebrows, like a perfect scroll drawn with a slender brush.

The summer night wind was still cold, and the boy never opened his eyes again.
