Chapter 406: Not hanging upside down
"It's not like running away."

Gong Shuji raised his eyes and looked at the cloudless sky outside:
"Because no one has been chasing us."

"I think when my father put Mulianli down, he must have considered that I was also locked in."

Let me ask you, there is a kidnapper who kidnapped the children of a family. The kidnapper threatened the host family for a ransom, but the host family paid the ransom, but put enough explosives in the ransom bag to blow up a building.
What does it mean?
What could this mean?
Gongshu Ji murmured to himself:

"My father is crazy."

"He knew that Mu Lianli would capture two people, and he knew that I was with the robbers, but he still let Mu Lianli go and wanted me to be locked up with you."

"If there really is a kidnapper, if that kidnapper is really provoked, I will die."

The melancholy on Gong Shuji's face almost solidified into substance, staining his features.

".Will not."

I responded to Gong Shuji's murmur and reached out to touch the sunlight falling on me, but I couldn't catch it no matter what:
"Your father didn't want you to die."

"He wanted me dead."

"If you hadn't told me that it was Mu Lianli, no one would have known that it was Mu Lianli, right?"

"A little threatening, a little cajoling, a little decisiveness."

"You can kill the 'kidnapper'."

I did not look back at Gong Shuji, but quietly withdrew my hand, no longer touching the sun that would not warm me:
"Your father seems to be waiting for your next decision to kill someone who hurt you."

Gong Shuji's whole body trembled imperceptibly, and he lowered his head not knowing what he was thinking.

I probably know what he is thinking, and I also probably know what Gong Shuqiu is thinking.

Gongshu Chou once killed my second uncle on that back mountain.

Gong Shuqiu and my second uncle have a deep hatred, and they probably only feel happy.

But as the son of Gong Shuqiu, Gong Shuji's guilt at watching a stranger die in front of him was enough to crush an ordinary person.

Gong Shuqiu hopes to use this incident to make Gong Shuqiu take action for real.

The first time, the second time, even the third time, and the countless times.

People can become numb.

no matter who.

Even something as painful as death may become numb after experiencing it a hundred times.

The gentle breeze blows in my face, as if telling me——

You have been away from your hometown for a long time, and it has been a summer.

Early summer is such a good time. Is it time to water the spring wheat?
It's a pity that I can't go back.

"I don't want to die."

I squinted my eyes to avoid the sun, and then heard my own voice again:

"I used to think about dying and not causing any trouble to anyone."

"But now, I'm starting to fear death."

"No, it should be said that I don't want to go to Daoxuan Mountain again in a short period of time."

"The Upside Down Mountain is indeed full of peaks and majestic, but the truth contained in it is too terrifying."

"After all, I really can't imagine that if people die, they will not lead to the underworld. The underworld is really overcrowded, and there will be no pure land of bliss or immortal immortals in the world."

"That's why there are so many demons and ghosts lingering in the world, and that's why we encounter so many things."

".What should I do then?"

What should I do with my second uncle?
What to do with those who have passed away?
I have comforted myself more than once when I woke up in the middle of the night——

'It's okay, those people just went to reincarnate. As long as I live long enough, I can see what they will look like after reincarnation. '

But now, I can't even make a joke about "death early, rebirth early" to myself.

If he dies, does he really die?
There will be no reincarnation, no reincarnation.

There will be no one waiting for me on that bridge whose reputation has been passed down for thousands of years, so what is the point of passing away? Keep meeting new people, repeating the pain of separation, and finally die?

That's too, too heartbreaking.

Instead of not giving me wisdom and letting me be a mayfly, I can still play in the world.

"You're not going to die."

Gong Shuji didn't know what he thought of, and raised his head. The color that had recovered on his face disappeared completely.

He spoke softly, as if he was comforting me, and also as if he was comforting himself:
"I swear, as long as I live for one day, I will not let you die."

I didn't respond. We sat side by side from dawn to dusk.

No one speaks.

Until Gong Shuji finally came up with a method that couldn't be called a method at all:

".I'll go find Dad and let him get rid of Mu Lianli."

"This will make you happy, right?"

He stood up and wanted to leave, but I made no move, letting Gong Shuji move the hand that was holding Mu Lianli to float in the air:
"If it really succeeds, your father won't let you be trapped with me."

"If you go to your father now, he will only be furious, angry that you and Tu Fangcheng's children are planning to take away Tu Fangcheng's ashes."

Gong Shuji stopped, with a wry smile on his face:
".He would just tell me to calm down and stop being confused."

"Then let me fend for myself."

Just like when I was buried in the back mountain.

At that time, I hadn't even discovered that Gong Shuqiu killed my second uncle, but Gongshu Qiu had already begun to care a lot about the distance between me and Gong Shuji.

But Gong Shuji wanted to help, and Gong Shuqiu didn't say anything harsh, but just watched with cold eyes.

So, it turns out that fate had planned everything well in advance.

In all things, clues can be found in the clues from long ago, and we can get a glimpse of the future.

"Have you tried it too hard?"

My words interrupted Gong Shuji's contemplation. The joint of Mu Lianli shook for a few seconds. Gong Shuji smiled bitterly again and answered my words:

".Wood's weakness is fire, but Mu Lianli's weakness is not."

"If it could be burned with fire, it wouldn't be among the top difficult monsters."

"As long as it is injured, it will gnaw at the host's flesh and blood and undergo 'resurrection'."

"Even if one of the hosts dies, the other will hold on to each other tightly and not let the two separate."

Who doesn’t understand what resurrection means?
I stood up following the direction of Mu Lianli:

"Let's go then."

Gong Shuji was stunned by my words:
"Where to go?"

I raised my eyes to look at the increasingly dark sky and whispered:

"Find a place where you can remain anonymous. It's best if your father thinks you died at the hands of the 'kidnapper'."

Gongshuqiu wants Gongshuji to kill people, and eliminates the other party's guilt through the method of 'no destruction, no establishment'.

Then he must have thought about it, what if, what if the person who comes back is not Gong Shuji?

In this way, due to Mu Lianli's characteristic of "even if one of the parties dies, he will firmly hold on to the host's bones", will Gong Shuqiu speculate and cannot bear to have his son's body hanging on the 'kidnapper'?

As long as Gong Shuji never shows up, it is only a matter of time before Gong Shuqiu comes to find him, and his patience will become more and more impatient as time goes by.

Gong Shuji and I will definitely be able to separate.

perhaps.

It won’t be.

perhaps.
