The years I was a birdman

Chapter 32 Goodbye to the Man in the Picture

Fate is like a carbonated drink, you can never predict when it will come out of your nose.

When the two of them opened their eyes again, they found that they had already appeared in Yingzhou, which was like spring all the year round. Chen Tuan was also relieved when he saw the two came back. Zhang Shifei didn't feel the joy of escaping danger at all. On the contrary, he was very anxious. Seeing that the painting was about to return to normal, he hurriedly shouted at Chen Tuan: "Don't let it disappear!! I want to go back! !!"

Chen Tuan was a little stunned, and he said in confusion, "What?"

In the blink of an eye, the vortex disappeared, and the screen returned to normal. Zhang Shifei quickly said, "Dad! Can you open it again? I want to go back!!"

After all, Chen Tuan was an old lamp, and he looked very calm. He said to Zhang Shifei, "Don't panic, tell me what's wrong?"

Zhang Shifei simply told his experience. Listening to Zhang Shifei's narration, Chen Tuan's expression became more serious. After Zhang Shifei finished speaking, Chen Tuan fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said: "Did you see a sign that seems to be made of jade?"

Zhang Shifei was taken aback, wondering if this old guy had dementia, and he was busy saving people here, and he was still chanting some brand, but he seemed to have seen this thing before, so he thought about it and turned to Chen Tuan. Said: "I saw it, don't let me lose it! Don't talk about this, quickly change some medicine and food for me! I want to go back and save Xu Ying!"

Hearing what Zhang Shifei said, Chen Tuan was a little stunned. He looked at the two people, then at the painting, and said, "God's will, it seems that we can't escape it."

Li Lanying yelled: "Father, what are you thinking about again? Hurry up, shouldn't you gods save people? Right now, the head is almost dead, what are you talking about here?"

Chen Tuan still had that expression, as if someone had stabbed him in the back, and he was very upset. Hearing what Li Lanying said, he sighed: "I advise you, don't go again."

"Why!!" Zhang Shifei was stunned, but instead of swearing, he became scared in his heart. He knew that if Chen Tuan didn't let him go back, then he really couldn't go back.

Chen Tuan thought for a while, and then said: "Have you ever thought that the place you experienced is not in the painting?"

Zhang Shifei was stunned and did not speak, then Chen Tuan continued: "Have you ever thought that even if you go back, some things still cannot be changed?"

Plop, Zhang Shifei knelt down, and he said to Chen Tuan: "Father, please, show mercy, Xu Ying is very ill, if I don't go back, she will really die!!"

Chen Tuan sighed: "Well, no matter how much I tell you now, you won't listen to it. You go to the bamboo forest to pick a bamboo shoot. The bamboo shoots here can cure all diseases."

Great! !Zhang Shifei was ecstatic in his heart, so he didn't delay anymore, and immediately flew out to the bamboo grove to break off a few oversized bamboo shoots, and then returned to the wooden house, where he saw Li Lanying and Chen Tuan standing side by side. Li Lanying's expression became a little unnatural, but he didn't speak, just looked at Zhang Shifei.

Zhang Shifei said anxiously: "Okay, I'm almost ready, Dad, let's start!"

Chen Tuan looked at Li Lanying, and Li Lanying nodded, so the old guy pointed his sword again. After a while, the picture of the reality map on the wall suddenly became blurred again. Chen Tuan raised his hand, and two golden lights After a flash, Zhang Shifei and Li Lanying entered the painting again.

The two of them only felt surrounded by golden light, and before they opened their eyes, they felt a chill. Zhang Shifei was overjoyed and came back!
Looking around, the surroundings were still covered with snow. Zhang Shifei said happily, "I'm back, and I won't leave again. By the way, Lao Li, what do you think you are coming with me?"

Li Lanying squeaked and didn't speak. Zhang Shifei was worried about Xu Ying's condition at this time, so he didn't think much about it, so he walked towards the shack with Fatty Li.

As he walked, he thought in his heart that now that he has turned back into a human body, Xu Ying's life will not be so hard in the future. From now on, um, from now on, he will build a big house in the mountains, with endless potato chips and·····
Just as he was thinking wildly, the shack had already appeared in front of his eyes, but at this time, half of the shack was covered with snow, which made Zhang Shifei feel a little strange. He had only walked for a while, how could the shack already be covered with snow? So much snow?
But he didn't think much about it, and happily moved away the pile of firewood that blocked the door. Although the weather was very cold and his hands were red from the cold, Zhang Shifei's heart was hot at this time, and he was cured soon. With Xu Ying's illness, he could be with him forever. Thinking of this, he smiled for no reason.

After he removed the firewood from the pile door, he walked into the shack. Xu Ying turned her back to him, and seemed to be still asleep. Zhang Shifei was relieved, but what made him feel a little strange was how the temperature in the shack Same as outside?
Did he really light a fire when he left just now?

But he didn't think much about it, and walked to Xu Ying's body lightly, then bent down, and called softly: "Wake up, I'm back."

After all, he gently patted his beloved with his hands.

However, the tentacles were cold, as if touching a piece of ice.

"Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!" A shrill and terrified cry spread far away, Fatty Li outside the door heard it, and shook his head helplessly, as if he knew it a long time ago This thing is normal.

He walked into the shack slowly, and saw that right and wrong was hugging Xu Ying tightly at the moment, and Xu Ying was lying in his arms very quietly, as if asleep.

Yes, she fell asleep, quietly, and would not wake up again.

Zhang Shifei hugged Xu Ying's body like he was hugging a piece of ice. The cold made him tremble uncontrollably, but he didn't let go. His tears couldn't help but flow down. Xu Ying in his arms His face was purple and blue, obviously he had been dead for a while, and he had not been corrupted because of the cold in this mountain.

However, there was still a smile on the corner of her mouth, without a trace of pain, she looked very peaceful.

Zhang Shifei shouted loudly: "Why!! Why is this!!??"

Li Lanying at the door sighed and did not speak. He knew that it would be better to let him cry than to comfort him now, so he stood quietly. The mountain in winter was very quiet, and he could only hear Zhang Shifei's desperate cry.

Time passed quietly like this, Zhang Shifei still didn't let go, maybe he hoped to hold her until her body was no longer cold, maybe at that time, she would open her eyes and ask him with a smile Are you homesick?

Why!Why!

Zhang Shifei's heart seemed to be cut by a knife. He looked at Xu Ying's quiet face, and tears fell on her face, as if she was crying too. He couldn't help asking in his heart, why, why Don't wait for me, didn't you agree, no matter how long it takes, you have to wait for me to come back?

Why, why am I back, but you are no longer there?
After a long time, Li Lanying saw that Zhang Shifei seemed to have calmed down a bit, so she said softly: "Actually, Chen Tuan told me about this when he came here, but we couldn't bear to tell you."

Zhang Shifei raised his head to look at the fat man, and said with red and swollen eyes, "Why! Why did she die?"

Seeing Zhang Shifei like this, Li Lanying felt uncomfortable, so he sighed to Zhang Shifei: "It's very simple, in fact, we should have expected it. We wanted to go to Yingzhou for a day, but you spent half a year here. Just now we When I go back, it should be at least ten days here."

It turned out that this was the case, and Zhang Shifei felt extremely remorseful in his heart. He didn't expect that Xu Yingxiang's jade would be lost because of his negligence for a while, but he still couldn't accept this reality. He thought about it, and then said to Li Lanying: "Yes. Yes! Old Li, isn’t this in the painting!? That old guy must have a way to save her, right?”

Li Lanying shook her head, then said with a wry smile: "When you went to pick bamboo shoots just now, the old guy told me that there are actually many things that gods can't do, including life, old age, sickness and death, and lust. This woman's death is only a matter of days. It cannot be changed, let alone..."

Li Lanying stopped at this point, and Zhang Shifei hurriedly asked: "What's more! Can you tell me quickly?"

Li Lanying squeaked and said: "What's more...this is not in the painting."

"What??" Zhang Shifei was stunned, isn't this in the painting?how can that be possible!This is not a painting, so where is this?Seeing that Zhang Shifei was confused, Li Lanying said to him: "Chen Tuan said that there was an error in the operation of the Reality Map. We are not in the painting now, but in the past."

before?Zhang Shifei didn't seem to understand.

"Yes, everything you and I see now is real history, including the woman in your arms. They belong to that era long ago, and it was the wrong operation of the reality map that brought us here."

Zhang Shifei didn't listen to it. The past and future were meaningless to him. The only woman he liked was dead, so how should he go on in the future?

Thinking of this, Zhang Shifei felt sore again. Seeing his appearance, the fat man said to him, "My condolences, it was impossible for you guys."

Yes, it was originally impossible, but who made it impossible?

Destiny, why did you tease me like this! ?Why do you want to bring me happiness while taking him away immediately? ?

Seeing that Zhang Shifei was still so sad, Li Lanying sighed, then walked over, sat next to Zhang Shifei, and said to himself, "Think about it, people can't be resurrected after death, and you can't stay behind." Here we go home."

Home?Where is my home?Zhang Shifei smiled wryly.

He used to think that his hometown was a place of peace of mind, but now the world is vast, and he can no longer find a place to stay, because Xu Ying is no longer there.

He looked at Li Lanying, and then said to him lightly: "I'm fine, just let me be quiet for a while."

It was getting dark and it was time to go back.

People can't be resurrected after death, it's because the way of heaven can't be changed, everyone will say this, but when birth, old age, sickness and death come, how many people can really see it?
Zhang Shifei put Xu Ying down gently, and he said to the fat man, "After all, I missed the appointment. She was waiting for me until she died, but I couldn't catch up."

For the first time, the fat man did not quarrel with him, but instead said: "Didn't you come back already, and look, she didn't blame you."

Zhang Shifei looked at Xu Ying's face, indeed, she was smiling, so serene.

The fat man said: "That old guy Chen Tuan told me that even if you didn't show up, she would have died, but she would have died in loneliness and cold, but during the six months you showed up, she lived happily, so, Don't be too persistent."

Zhang Shifei sighed, and then nodded. He also understood at this time that there are really many things in this world that he cannot resist. He and Xu Ying are people from two worlds. Holding her hand and not letting go, it's just a trick of creation, but it happened to be such an ending.

It seems that he is still not suitable for this place. This place does not belong to him. Thinking of this place, he felt a little relieved. Although his heart was still very hurt, he chose to bury it deep in his heart. He said to Li Lanying: "Old man Lee, let's go."

Li Lanying nodded, and then walked out of the shack. Zhang Shifei followed after him, but when he reached the door, he didn't hold back, and turned to look at Xu Ying, just like the time he looked back not long ago, but at that time he didn't know what to do. Unexpectedly, that turned out to be the last time.

Xu Ying fell asleep peacefully, as if she was having a beautiful dream. In that dream, there was no hunger, no worries, and she was so happy.

Maybe, I really just appeared in her dream. This dream that lasted half a year will finally wake up. Maybe this is not a bad thing for Xu Ying. The peacock I raised has turned into a man. At the last moment of her life, she experienced the taste of love.

Her sleeping smiling face is really beautiful, that smile tells Zhang right and wrong, even for a moment, but she is very happy.

Zhang Shifei thought of this, even though he tried his best to endure, tears and snot still flowed down uncontrollably, he trembled all over, clenched his teeth, and said: "I'm sorry, if there is a chance in the next life, I will definitely not Let go of your hands."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, so he closed his eyes, his figure disappeared, and a peacock appeared. The peacock looked at the female corpse on the straw, shed two tears, and then opened its tail. The peacock is really beautiful, especially in such a snowy day

Maybe this is not in the painting, but she is indeed a woman who can only exist in the painting.

After the peacock finished opening the screen, he quietly walked out to play. Li Lanying didn't say anything beside him. A golden light flashed, and the figures of the two disappeared again, and the surroundings returned to calm. At this time, snowflakes fell quietly again .

The snow slowly covered the footprints of the two people and the small shack, as if nothing had happened. Slowly, the deep mountain was covered with snow again, showing a peaceful atmosphere.
