Longmen Memoirs

"Is this so?" The little girl's short tail shook as she fell into deep thought.

I always feel something is not right.

"This is wrong, you...really didn't lie to me?"

"No." Chen Mo was very sure.

"Well..." Xiao Mo looked up and down at Chen Mo suspiciously.

He looks a little not very smart. Chen Mo looked at the thinking little Mo Mo and thought, who can be so stupid? This is not good. You have to find a smart person to teach you. Be careful, lest you be deceived by the wild boy from there.

If it were Tallulah as a child, she would probably say at this time: "Since I don't know, then I'll just assume you're lying to me."

She has always been so unreasonable, but Xiaota didn't seem to be that smart when she was a child.

Chapter 165 Xiaota and Chen

Wei Yanwu is still recalling everything that happened in Longmen 20 years ago, the shadow left by Kosiche and the choices that Yan and Victoria made him make.

Chen Jingping, who already knew everything, listened quietly. She suddenly felt that Wei Yanwu was unusually nagging today, like a nagging old man. He was already old, but he never seemed to be in a trance.

Chen couldn't help but glance slightly to see Tallulah's expression. Tallulah's expression was very dull. It wasn't until Wei Yanwu mentioned that Edward and their mother were buried in this unmarked grave that a trace of sadness and reminiscence appeared in her plain eyes. fluctuations.

Compared to Chen, the word mother is more distant to Tallulah.

She could only vaguely recall the figure of that woman, so that her voice and appearance were now only a vague outline. The same was true for Chen. She could hardly remember what her mother looked like, and her mother didn't have much affection for her.

The way she looked at Chen was always cold, cold and calm. Her mother didn't like the subsequent marriage, she didn't like Chen's father, and she didn't like Chen either.

But as a child, Chen wouldn't cry and didn't understand why.

That woman married into the Chen family for Tallulah, but Chen's unexpected birth made her betray her feelings.

This woman died in depression. Perhaps she had died long ago.

"After all, they were not buried in the city they loved. No, your mother should have loved and hated that city at the same time."

Wei Yanwu's words suddenly reminded Chen of himself.

Nowadays, it is difficult for her to tell whether she loves or hates Longmen. Many people have an indescribable feeling for Longmen. Chen doesn’t know, and Tallulah doesn’t know whether she should love or hate. She was once in Longmen. The most unforgettable memories I have ever had, both good and bad, unforgettable in every sense of the word.

Perhaps if it hadn't been for everything that happened later, Longmen would have been nothing but hatred and complaint for Tallulah. She really couldn't remember how much nostalgia she would have for that city.

But Chen Mo is different.

Often due to the appearance of a certain person, that memory becomes a precious memory, and together with the city in the memory, it carries complex emotions.

It is difficult for people to explain themselves clearly.

"I will never forget the scenery here. As long as I see it, I will think of them... my sister, my brother who is not related by blood but is better than blood." Wei Yanwu sighed, this person who has mastered the unattainable A powerful man with an imperceptible sadness on his majestic face.

"They were buried here. The tomb cabinet was too small to contain their enthusiasm, and the words were too soft to express their regret."

And, Wei Yanwu's own regret.

Wei Yanwu has been forced to make many choices in his life, some of which he did on his own, and some of which he had no control over.He has never regretted it. If he had to do it again, he would make the same choice because he is Wei Yanwu.

But having no regrets doesn't mean he won't remember. He will never be able to forget what he did.

When have you been innocent? When have we been innocent?

Tallulah said nothing more.

The word father only existed when she thought of her identity as Drake. She had never met her father. She would think about it when she was a child, but she would no longer think about it when she grew up.

He was a strange impression, and it was difficult for Tallulah to have any feelings for a person she had never met before. She was just mourning, but compared to the father whom Chen hated, Tallulah couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

"So this is an unmarked grave." Chen asked.

"Yes, the Tomb of the Unknown, huh... maybe it's because names only have meaning to living people."

When Wei Yanwu said this, he glanced at Tallulah.

It was hard for him not to think about the origin of the name Tallulah.

The man held his hand with difficulty, and warm blood spattered on his face. He asked himself to protect his wife and daughter. He had already thought of his daughter's name... and it was called Tallulah.

Her father only left her this name, but he gave his life in exchange for her birth. Unfortunately, his last wish was entrusted to the wrong person.

"——In this land, burial is just an idealized statement, because all graves will eventually disappear, and no one can sleep peacefully forever."

In the end, the hand hidden under the coat failed to reach out. Even if he tried to gently pat Tallulah on the shoulder, Wei Yanwu felt that he was not worthy.

Not worthy of this.

But he still feels regretful, just regretful. He knows why he is not qualified. Even if Tallulah doesn't care, it doesn't mean anything.

"When encountering natural disasters, wars, being abandoned, etc., as long as a city disappears, the dead buried in the city will also be wiped out."

"As for the countless settlements in the vast wilderness, the descendants of each settlement I have heard of have never found the graves of their ancestors." Wei Yanwu said, looking into the distance at the tracks left by the moving cities: "There is a sense that The funeral method is called a tomb passage, and a part of the mobile city is used as a cemetery, and the relics of the deceased are thrown on that road, and the driving back and forth is regarded as a kind of paying respects."

"I have heard of this burial method." Tallulah said softly: "The moving city is the tombstone of those tombs, but no one can remember how many corpses were left on the tomb passage."

People are forgetful, and they often do not remember people and things that are not important to them, and what is important will gradually become less important as time goes by and other things replace them.

"I'm too forgetful." Wei Yanwu stared at Tallulah: "I have too many things that are easy to forget, or in other words, I have too many things that I want to desperately forget, but I never dare to forget them. So I... … I chose this place for them.”

"This was the farthest place Longmen has ever been."

Tallulah looked at the land beneath her feet. Wei Yanwu was still talking and telling about his and their past. Chen had already heard it once, but here, she felt a different feeling in her heart.

She couldn't explain what she felt, but when she turned around and saw Tallulah standing next to her, Chen suddenly felt much more at ease.

Wei Yanwu's memory made him obsessed.

Like an old man, he told his story to his grown-up parents and children, sighing from time to time.

"After your father died, I kept the mourning secret for ten years. No one knew the truth except my brother and Kosiche. Now your father and my sister have passed away. In time, natural disasters will also invade this place, and everything will disappear." For nothing, no one will remember that a pair of sad lovers are buried here, and the two people who died because of it will also be forgotten."

"I know... Cosiche has already told me this." Tallulah nodded slightly. She looked at Wei Yanwu standing in front of him, and slowly squeezed her lowered hands.

Wei Yanwu was her father-killing enemy, so Cosiche said, but the real murderer was Cosiche, and she had already killed him with her own hands.

But Wei Yanwu...

Facing the unsuspecting Wei Yanwu, Talulah slowly loosened her clenched hands.

Chen will be disappointed.Tallulah thought, she turned her head, Chen was also looking at her, Tallulah shook her head slightly.

Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Wei Yanwu killed Tallulah's father, he didn't want to do it, but he did it anyway, and then he saved Tallulah's mother and Tallulah, although he failed to take care of them.

"I won't thank you, nor will I forgive you. They are the ones who should forgive you, not me." Tallulah let go: "Cosiche told me that you killed my father, and I know he He is bewitching me and using me. He is the culprit who killed my father, but Kosiche is already dead, but after all, he died in your hands."

"I should have done better... It was me who failed to protect you and her and allowed you to be blinded by Cosiche's lies." Wei Yanwu said with guilt in his words: "I don't need you to forgive me, and I will never regret it. The choices I made."

"You don't have to regret it, your regrets mean nothing to me."

"You failed to protect Chen," Tallulah said. "You have done a lot of wrong things, Wei Yanwu. You'd better not make the same mistakes again. No one will come to ensure that next time your Dragon Gate will not become another cemetery that no one will remember."

Wei Yanwu's guilt did not make Tallulah feel better. She just felt relieved, and suddenly felt that something was missing. It was not that she had not thought about making Wei Yanwu regret it, but at this time, Tallulah felt Empty and boring, devoid of any joy or joy.

Tallulah didn't say forgiveness, and Wei Yanwu felt that he didn't deserve to be forgiven, but he still felt that a piece of his heart was suddenly missing. He had never let go of his attitude, let alone asked anyone.

"I won't do it again."

"I can't trust you, how can you guarantee it?"

"Neither you nor Chen can trust me." Wei Yanwu glanced at Chen beside Tallulah, "But I never need you to believe that I will never make a guarantee to an infected leader of the integration movement. I never did before. Never again."

"No one ever warned you that you were conceited."

"If one day you can reach my level, you can too." Wei Yanwu said, "However, you can try to believe me this time, if you are willing to believe it."

"I will not believe the unrealistic promises made by a leader in Longmen."

"Haha." Tallulah's words made Wei Yanwu couldn't help laughing.

Mr. Chen felt that there was a sense of pride in his laughter, a sense of pride and bragging that came from unknown sources.

"You have to understand what you are doing." Wei Yanwu's laughter stopped and he stared at Tallulah a few steps away.

"I understand, but I won't stop."

"...What are you going to do?"

"I will look for it. I don't plan to stop just like that. Even if I can't find the direction of the infected person now or when I'm still alive, I will never stop."

"Even if it's wrong."

"Then correct it."

"That's good, Ta... If you really believe that something is right, never stop, no matter how others think of you, how they think of your behavior, how they think of everything it brings, even if it may It's wrong." Wei Yanwu said in a semi-teaching tone: "As a leader, you can't just look at everything around you from the perspective of an infected person, you have to look at more. If most people don't accept it, Then no matter how right you are, it won’t make any sense.”

"I don't need you to teach me."

"I'm not teaching you, I'm telling you the attitude of this land towards the infected. Not only Longmen, they are more harsh and cruel than Longmen. You have seen a lot in Ursus, and if you want to change this In such a situation, we must let ourselves face the same thing and break away from the constraints of the word infected."

Tallulah was silent for a moment, and she breathed softly.

"……I will remember."

"You feel strange to me now." Wei Yanwu sighed.

"Everyone you haven't seen for more than ten years will feel strange."

"I treat you..." Wei Yanwu stopped talking. Finally he couldn't bear to say those heartless words. He just felt guilty and relieved.

Feeling guilty that he couldn't do anything for her, but relieved that she was Draco's descendant after all, it was not surprising that she could do this.

"I no longer have any affection for the leader of the Integration Movement, and Longmen will have nothing to do with the Integration Movement in the future." Wei Yanwu looked at Tallulah with gentle eyes: "I hope you can remember these words I will follow. If one day Tallulah really wants to get back to Dragon Gate, and Dragon Gate will get there, no matter how far, if it can, it will go. No one can intimidate one of the city's heirs at Dragon Gate."

"That day will never happen." Tallulah shook her head slightly.

"I just hope you can remember that it doesn't matter whether that day comes." Wei Yanwu said: "Maybe you can really do it. If you are the descendant of Drac, you should be able to do it."

Tallulah left without answering Wei Yanwu's last words. She knew that Wei Yanwu and Chen still had something to say. Wei Yanwu looked at her back and said nothing.

"I never thought you would say that to her." Chen looked at Wei Yanwu with a surprised look.

"I didn't expect it either, [={

"Then you'd better keep feeling guilty." Chen said: "We are just one of the countless brothers and sisters who have been separated on this land, and most people will never have the chance to be reunited in this life. You should be lucky that she is still willing to come and see you. You, instead of treating you like someone you’ve never met.”

Of course Wei Yanwu could understand what Chen meant.

"That might make me feel better. At least I can imagine this scene, instead of like now..." Wei Yanwu said, "Maybe she came here to see me on purpose because she knew this."

"You can't think better. Everyone is harming you. Your heart is always so narrow and dark." Chen Buwu said sarcastically.

"Narrow and dark?" Wei Yanwu chewed Chen's words in astonishment.

"You seem to be leaving with her, well...that bastard encouraged you to go with her." Wei Yanwu glanced sideways at Chen.

I've grown up and can't keep it anymore.

"If you say that again, I'll leave immediately." Chen looked dissatisfied. "I don't have time to chat with you here."

"Why can't I even say anything?" Wei Yanwu couldn't hide his surprise.

"No." Chen replied seriously without thinking.

The corners of Wei Yanwu's eyes twitched slightly, and Chen's serious face made him unable to say a word for a long time.

"……reason?"

"What's the reason?" Chen replied matter-of-factly.

"..."

"Xiao Mo is going to Rhode Island for treatment, and the Drak is also temporarily detained there. I still haven't figured out what she is. Criminals will have their own prisons, but the current dragon gate cannot be closed yet. She." Chen said: "Of course, I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm here to tell you."

"That's it?" Wei Yanwu was surprised.

"otherwise……"

Wei Yanwu looked at Chen strangely: "You are satisfied now."

"I don't know what you are talking about, sir." Chen said with a smile on his face.

"I will reserve your position for you for the time being, Xiaomo... well, it seems I can't stop you." Wei Yanwu said, "Your sister, you have to keep an eye on her."
