Longmen Memoirs
Page 228
It was just an accident for him to be cool, Indra would guess what he was thinking.
Just imagine, who would willingly sacrifice their life for a guy they have known for no more than a month? Chen Mo wouldn't, and neither would Hannah.
Hannah only cared about Weina from the beginning to the end, and the reason why she cared so much about Weina and risked her life, Chen Mo thought, was not just the ridiculous duel, but also the goal and purpose she talked about to cover it up. Personality.
There must be a deeper reason that forces the people in this organization to willingly turn themselves into abandoned pieces on the chessboard.
Just like her, just like Morgan, and just like Gawain and Gedag, when this organization was born, it seemed that it was waiting for the arrival of someone, hiding in this dirty and smelly slum for someone, until that day 's arrival
In fact, it was not a chance encounter, everything was destined.
Vina, who is doomed to be in trouble, will meet this group of people, and Vina, who is doomed to be in trouble, will still not abandon her subjects. The ups and downs of the curtain have already been written in the script.
Because only Vina like this can shoulder that responsibility.
Some people had great expectations for Vina, and now it seems that Vina has not disappointed them.
She has never been a person who disappoints people, but the difference with her is that Chen Mo is not as great as her, nor is he as eye-catching as her. I am a selfish and despicable person who will inevitably disappoint people.
How long has it been since we went out together on the streets like this? It seems that since moving to Glasgow, Weina has rarely chosen to go out unless necessary, and even when she does go out, it has never been so leisurely, especially in In these increasingly tense days.
"I don't seem to be surprised at all that I would take you out?"
Walking side by side on the streets of Londinium, passing by shop windows, passing pedestrians, cars and trams, Londinium has begun to get cold in October, with yellowed dead leaves hanging lonely on the branches. It swayed in a gust of wind and swirled to the ground.
Weina was wearing that brown woolen coat, and the scarf on the collar was swaying slightly in the wind, close to her fair neck, and the brilliant golden color fell on the slight fluff, seeming to rise and fall gently with the frequency of the fluff shaking.
Black Martin boots walked along the checkered road, and the fallen leaves blown up by her footsteps fell on her feet.Imperial flags symbolizing Victoria were planted in front of street shops, spreading and disappearing on the street corners.
The stone buildings of the old era are simple and heavy.
"I wanted to go out for a long time." Wei Na turned her head and glanced at Chen Mo.As if to ask why he waited to take her out now.
"I thought you knew why."
"Afraid of trouble?"
"A little bit, more or less."
They are not far apart and maintain a suitable distance. They are not like lovers, but closer than friends, and this closeness is not caused by love.
Wei Na never asked Chen Mo why, and it seemed that she didn't mind it, but Chen Mo knew that there had been too many dangerous actions in their lives, which made the distance they deliberately kept closer and closer.
"I didn't seem to see you very often some time ago?"
As if asked inadvertently, passing by pedestrians, as if blending into the increasingly deserted streets of Londinium.
Standing in front of the intersection, the green light has not yet turned on.
"There are things to deal with."
Chen Mo replied, joining the crowd and walking onto the sidewalk after the light turned green. "You seem to be in a bad mood today. After all, you haven't been out for a long time. Is there anywhere you want to go?"
"I can just follow you."
"How about taking a walk then? If you think of somewhere you want to go, just tell me."
"it is good."
They walked aimlessly on the streets of Londinium, crossed the long bridge over the river, sat on a bench in front of the park, and looked at the long stretch of river in front of them. There was grass growing on the bank of the river, a large area. .
The mobile city's internal water circulation system makes good use of these converged rivers.This reminded Chen Mo of a long time ago in Longmen. There seemed to be a river like this. Far away from the orphanage, colorful and dazzling fireworks would bloom at night on the other side of the river.
He left there after that night a long time ago.
Neither he nor Weina talked, they just looked at the river in front of them. After a long time, Weina's voice sounded in Chen Mo's ears.
"Are you distracted?" She looked at Chen Mo.
"Remembering something from long ago."
Chen Mo looked at the river in front of him, then looked across to the city on the other side.
"Do you set off fireworks here at night? Do you also get together to sing during Christmas?"
Wei Na was stunned. She thought for a few seconds and then gave her answer.
"I'm not sure. Indra may know. I've never seen this river have fireworks at night. Will Longmen be like this?"
"It should be. It's a little later than this time. Longmen is called the New Year. Every house will put up new Spring Festival couplets on the door. In the evening, there will be a night market. It's a very lively night market. It blocks the whole street and there are a lot of people. You can’t see the end at a glance, and if you’re not careful, you can easily get swept away by the crowd.”
"Do you want to go back?"
She asked suddenly, her golden eyes followed Chen Mo's gaze, she put her hands into the bag of her coat, and lifted up the blue plaid scarf she was wearing. The wind was very strong beside the river embankment.
"It would be a lie to say that I don't want to go back." Chen Mo said, "But after I went back, I didn't think about where I should go?"
Go to the orphanage, or to the street that has changed beyond recognition. There is no one in that city waiting for him to go back. Even if he goes back, where can he go?
Chen Mo didn't know, but if he didn't go back, he didn't know where he should go.
An empty place cannot be called home, it can only be called a house, but he doesn't even have a house where he can live for a long time, let alone a family, never again.
"It looks a lot like me." Wei Na suddenly whispered: "I haven't thought about where I should go either?"
Turning her head and looking at Chen Mo's profile, she paused for a while and asked, "Where do you think I should go?"
Those golden eyes looked at Chen Mo quietly, as if she was asking me this question seriously. Chen Mo didn't turn his head, so naturally he couldn't see the confusion and hesitation in her eyes.
Just think about it, Wei Na is only 21 years old now. Like Chen Mo now, they should not be able to talk about such topics at this age. However, in this land, 21 years already represents a long time.
This land is neither tolerant because of youth, nor merciful because of old age.
"This kind of question shouldn't be asked to someone like me. Didn't you just say that we are similar?"
"Then I have no choice but to follow you before that." Wei Na turned her head and lay slightly on her back on the bench, "Just right, it's quite suitable."
But as she said these words, she couldn't hide the smile on her lips.
"I have never seen the fireworks that bloom at night as you mentioned. If you have a chance, you might as well go and see them." She said softly, looking at the gray sky on the other side of the river.
"I heard you say that when you were a kid, you would get together with people to sing on Christmas Day, and there would be a lot of people?"
Chen Mo retracted his gaze from the river, looked at Wei Na, leaned on the backrest of the pedestrian chair, and retracted his hand into the bag of his windbreaker.
"Why do you ask that all of a sudden?"
"A little curious?"
"It's a lot." Chen Mo said: "But for most Longmen people, the New Year is much more important than Christmas. Most of them don't remember it clearly at that time. Now that I think about it, I won't know each other even if we see each other again."
"Because it's been so long?"
"It just doesn't feel important."
Many of the children in that small orphanage can no longer remember them clearly, and they have not deliberately interacted too much. Only that one person has not been forgotten to this day, but when they met, they failed to think of each other.
"If it's not important, why would you mention it?" There was confusion in her words.
"Maybe I'm afraid that I'll forget one day." Chen Mo replied. There was a clear sound of wind in his ears, and the gray cloud on the horizon was getting closer and closer. "If you forget, you probably won't remember it again."
"Same as her?"
Wei Na nodded slightly, buried her neck in the blue scarf, and a strand of golden hair was blown to the side of her face.She looked a little fragile like that.
"We also met her at that time?"
Chen Mo didn't expect Wei Na to suddenly bring up this topic, but he quickly calmed down.
"Correct."
"That's why I'm afraid of forgetting." Wei Na said flatly, but her tone was very sure: "I have never met such a person."
"Guinevere?"
They looked at the approaching clouds, listened to the howling wind in their ears, put their hands into their bags, trying to get some warmth, and when Wei Na asked Chen Mo this question, he said this answer.
Her eyelids drooped slightly, and a trace of loneliness appeared under her golden pupils.
Her voice reached Chen Mo's ears. Chen Mo suddenly felt something leaning on his shoulder. When he turned around, Wei Na leaned on his shoulder. Her golden eyes reflected his appearance. Her golden eyes Her hair was fluttering in the wind and fell on Chen Mo's ears.
Their eyes reflected each other.
"Are you referring to the present or the past?" Wei Na asked.
"……past."
Chen Mo deliberately gave a wrong answer.
The Guinevere who appeared was not the same person as the one in her memory, but they were also irreplaceable.
Chapter 66 Bloody (last chapter)
The way Wei Na raised her head and looked at the sky reminded Chen Mo of a dying lion. It was also like this that the light in her eyes slowly dimmed in the increasingly gray clouds. The leaden sky was covered with black clouds and obscured her vision, despite the strong wind at high altitude. There was chaos, but it was rare to hear the din of the wind.
What fell into the eardrums was a dead silence, just like when I was standing in front of the cemetery that day, I could only see the lips of the priest acting as moving, but I couldn't hear a sound reaching my ears.
Chen Mo could only think like this. When Wei Na turned her head to look at him, he deliberately did not look at the smile in her eyes, thinking that he could avoid the sarcasm in her eyes.
He is a hateful person who gave Wei Na hope that she should not have had. Looking back, she still hopes that she will be grateful to me. In fact, this hope is just dispensable for her. She has many choices. Most options are better than following Chen Mo, a man waiting to die, but she chose this worst path.
Chen Mo knew what she was thinking, even though she was never willing to speak easily or mention it to anyone. She thought she could deceive everyone by acting carelessly and doing nothing.
In fact, she is also a person who is unwilling to give in. Everyone who has ever held a high position will inevitably feel uncomfortable after falling from the clouds. After a long time, they will naturally feel unwilling to give in. Just because they are unwilling to give in, there is no reason. It can be said that she is still so young.
Precisely because she was young, she had not yet learned to give up. She always thought that having great ambitions could change everything. This fiasco made her learn something, something she had seen before but was unwilling to admit, but she still didn't. Learned, only half learned.
That's why Chen Mo needs to appear and teach Wei Na her other half. Chen Mo is the most suitable person. He can even finish what Wei Na can't do, just like a pawn.
The entire Glasgow gang is her pawn, fighting for her to cross that river, and shedding all their blood.
But Chen Mo is happy to do this, and is willing to be a tool in the hands of others. It is very familiar to him to work as a chess piece, and there is no discomfort or guilt.
There are many people like Chen Mo in the world. If everyone should feel guilty for their actions and pay the price, then how many sins would fill the world and how many people would deserve to die.
Facts have proved that those who deserve to die may live longer, while those who do not deserve to die often die early, because living has become a sin in itself, a sin formed because of weakness.
There is no room for such kind and upright things in the world. Every living person on this earth bears the sins of the dead and should feel guilty. But we are all alive, even though we don’t know that day we will die.
Living is just living, and there is no reason to explain it.
"Can we talk now?"
Wei Na asked, this question seemed to have been planned for a long time, so Chen Mo was very calm after she asked this question.
"I was still wondering when you would bring it up. It's a little later than I expected."
"Indra and Gawain have been outside all this time, and Morgan is nowhere to be seen. Many familiar faces are missing. The most important thing is that the food is getting worse and worse." Vina counted them one by one. "I don't know what you're going to do, but it's not like I'm going to have my eyes closed all day."
"This isn't the first time you've complained about the food."
"You brought me out suddenly today. It must not have been a sudden thought." Wei Na asked: "Is there something that you must avoid me for?"
"It would be too harsh to say avoidance. There have been enough troubles during this period. We don't want to disturb you, Indra, cough..." Chen Mo coughed and covered his mouth with his hand: "Indra said, Master , that is, you should sit safely in the center of the formation to stabilize the morale of the army, and leave the rest to your subordinates."
"She shouldn't be able to say such a thing."
"Maybe it's because I've been watching too many movies and TV dramas from the Yan Kingdom recently." Chen Mo guessed: "She often troubles me. I saw that he likes to talk about loyalty, so I recommended some movies about loyalty, filial piety and etiquette to him."
"Oh? That means it's my turn now."
"There is a small matter that requires your intervention."
"The result of your conspiracy with Morgan?"
"It's mainly her plan, I'm just filling in the holes."
"What do you want me to do?"
However, she seemed to have already seen through Chen Mo's thoughts.
Chen Mo paused for a few seconds.
"It's very simple. You only need to die once." Chen Mo said: "Someone will replace you and die in front of them. After you die, the people of the Glasgow Gang will naturally be dispensable."
"..."
Chen Mo thought that after saying these words, Wei Na would suddenly be stunned, or at least ask him why?But no, Vina just stayed there for a few seconds.
"I see."
But just when Chen Mo thought this was enough, Wei Na suddenly asked him what he was living for.
