Small world finish.

Finding Wen Ji missing, Xu You anxiously sends his subordinates to search for him, and then uses the points to make the seven or eight locate him.

Xu You sounded anxious, "Did you find it?"

Seven Eight scratched his head and said, "Strange, I can't locate Wen Ji's position at all, I only know that he is no longer within Jianan City."

Although the kidnapping and murder of Wen Ji was not in the plot, Xu You was still worried and searched for two days in a hurry.

On this day, a kingfisher with a bell on its neck landed in front of Xu You's windowsill, put down the note in its mouth, and flew away.

Xu You hastily unfolded a look - do not worry, I am in Yan Wu sound this place to ritual Buddha rest, after a month to return home.

Confirming that it was Wen Ji's handwriting, Xu You breathed a little sigh of relief, as long as the person is fine, after all, he is now staying beside her, the mental pressure is very great, right as a month of relaxation to adjust their emotions.

--

"Cough-" The sound of weak breath coughing up blood rang through the old room.

Wen Ji took a breath and looked at the person drinking tea next to him and said, "Did you send it out?"

"What's the hurry," Hikari looked at him askance, "Here, it's back."

A kingfisher flew in through the wooden window and flew around Hikari's hands before leaving.

Seeing Wenjiao coughing up blood, Hikari Wu Sheng took out a red and a black pill from a hidden compartment and handed them to him.

Wen Ji took it and asked him, "How many days have I been here?"

"Five days."

Wen Ji: "I will leave in five days."

Hikari voicelessly glanced at him, "Have you considered it clearly?"

Although I don't know what the winking technique can predict, but if I force to change my destiny, I will at least lose half of my life.

"Uh-huh."

"Whatever."

Hikari noiselessly straightened the hem of her coat, "What did you figure out?"

Smell Art lowered his eyes, wordlessly gripping the covers.

He calculated that Xu You would eventually leave.

Five days later, Jianan City, which was in the midst of spring, suddenly experienced a heavy snowfall, and a layer of ankle-thick snow accumulated on the wetlands where the winter snow was melting.

The strange sight made it inconvenient for many people to go out, but Winku changed into a white monk's robe and went to the foot of Sunwonji Temple.

He took out a dagger and stabbed decisively at his chest, the sound of fabric scratching drifted away along with the sound of the wind, and bright red blood instantly infested his white robes.

Wen Ji knelt and bowed once, then rose and walked up a flight of steps, once again stabbed himself in the thigh with the dagger in his hand, knelt again and bowed once, and after the salute walked again to the first step of the ladder.

"Disciple Winking Art's sins are so deep that it's hard to get rid of the fury, may the Buddha's Bodhisattva's net be lenient ......"

"Disciple wen jutsu came to atone for his sins, and after death, he is willing to go down to the Infinite Hell, to go through the torment of swords and mountains, and not to enter the cycle of reincarnation ......"

A voice of reverent supplication echoed down the stone steps, and the cold wind blew his inked hair, his bloody robes hunting and tumbling.

Formerly he stood on the shore like a hungry ghost clad in Buddha, savoring the sufferings of others, watching them struggle in the sea of misery; they feared the unknown and asked him for divination, and he listened to their sorrows, with a compassionate face and a mocking heart.

He told them the trigrams and pushed them back into their misery.

Buddha said that people have seven sufferings, birth, old age, sickness and death, grudges and hatred, love and separation, and not to be able to seek. And now, he is also like the masses of people, struggling in the sea of suffering.

"Disciple Winking Art has sinned greatly and has come to atone for his sins ......"

The sky was cloudy, goose feather snow was falling, and the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps had long been covered with silver-white ice and snow.

Stepping up the hundredth stone step, he also had a hundred wounds on his body, slashes of blood.

And a bright red piercing blood scar had long formed behind him, spreading from the foot of the mountain all the way to the mountains, like a proud red plum growing out of the snow.

"Tick-tock-tick-tock-" The blood flowed straight down.

"Disciple Winking Art ...... Cough-"

A gust of curling wind came, the originally bloodless and powerless Wen Ji's legs went limp and he almost rolled down the mountain, he managed to stabilize himself in time by using his dagger to stabilize himself deep into the mud next to him.

Wen Ji breathed heavily, the sky and the earth dimmed to a single color as far as the eye could see, and he forced himself to his feet, his hand rising to cut another slash at his chest, the blood falling as he fell to his knees.

Two hundred and ninety-nine paces.

Three hundred and fifty paces.

Four hundred paces.

Each step was the limit, but underneath his fine snow and ice-clad lashes, his broken gaze was full of pleading.

"Fool, that there should be such a maniacal obsession in the world."

Hikari voicelessly watched from afar, only to see the white mountains, the cold stone steps, a step a kowtow man, covered with blood he is already strong.

But it seemed as if he could brace himself to stand up again as long as his back remained unbroken and his blood remained flowing.

Even those who had experienced the world like Hikari Nozomu were overwhelmed by this kind of will that could not be smoothed out.

"May it be as you wish."

With a silent sigh, Hikari couldn't bear to look at it anymore and turned away.

I don't know how long, the sky completely darkened, and the originally frigid temperature plummeted even more.

And those who prayed for redemption on the mountain still kept on their feet, walking obsessively in the dark, starless, snowy night.

......

The sky breaks and the hills receive the first glimpse of the morning sun.

Facing that sunrise, Wen Shu ascended the 999 steps with 999 wounds all over his body.

"Disciple Wen Ji sincerely repents, heaven and earth can see that, I wish to keep my beloved Xu You safe for the rest of her life."

As the last word fell, he fell to his knees in front of the door of Sunwonji Temple, his fine eyelashes covering down as he closed his eyes.

......

......

When Wen Ji opened his eyes again, what he saw was a simple bedspread, a familiar old house, and next to him, Hikari Noiseless was teasing a kingfisher with her index finger.

"Awake?" Hikari's hands unfolded, and the kingfisher flew around the room and came to rest on top of the overhanging beam.

"Cough - how long have I been asleep?" Wen Ji's voice was extremely hoarse and dry.

"Seven days," Hikari said as if she thought of something very funny, pulling up her lips, "you collapsed in front of Sunwonji Temple covered in blood, the group of monks were scared out of their wits and cried and fainted, making a mess, it was very funny."

Wen Ji's left hand moved, just as he tried to prop himself up to sit up, he was pressed back down by Hikari Nozomu.

"I advise you not to move," Hikari looked at him out of the corner of her eye, "You were suffering from a high fever from the wind and cold earlier, and a lack of blood, and you rotted your knees from kneeling."

"If I hadn't picked you up and brought you back alive, those useless monks could have saved you?"

Wen Ji said faintly, "Thank you."

"Thanks are not necessary," Hikari said wordlessly, "Your dead body is for my use, understand?"

"May."

Yan Wu Sheng let out a light laugh and added: "The others are fine, it's your knee that I'm afraid will be difficult to recover as before, and I'm afraid that it will sting unbearably in the rainy and snowy days in the future."

Wen Ji only cared, "How soon can I go back?"

"You've got big and small injuries on your body for starters, and your knees will take at least three months," Hikari said lazily, leaning back in her back chair, "You're insensible below the knees now."

"A month at the most."

Hikari voicelessly tsked, "As you wish, the body isn't mine anyway, whatever you toss it."

--

After the decision was made, Xu You seldom had nightmares, but still not accustomed to the empty pillow, every time you wake up, you will feel empty.

The matter of the cloth store she put down completely, and the store she had dished out had been transferred to someone else.

Xu You's pregnancy reaction is not bad, from time to time a little nausea and regurgitation, when she has the energy, she will spend more time to write a diary, every day's mood ideas, think of a small story are written down, hope that the child will see, can understand her heart.

She also draws a lot of sketches for her kids, flowers, trees, chairs and benches and all that.

-Child, Mother loves you, and so does your father. Take good care of him for Mother while she's away.

-During the winter, you must remember to tie up your father's right side of the shirt, so as not to let the cold wind pour in.

-Mother and father care about you, you can be naughty and playful, but you must ensure your own safety.

-May you grow up slowly and be happy.

Xu You think, as long as there is a child around, Wen Ji will not be able to break down and commit suicide and black out.

Early in the morning a month or so later, Xu You opened his eyes and saw Wen Ji sitting beside his bed and asked, "When did you get back?"

"Last night." He said.

Xu You: "Why don't you come up?"

"I was afraid to disturb you."

"So that's how you see the night?"

"Uh-huh."

At some point, he had gotten used to waiting for her and watching her sleep, and every moment of the month or so that he hadn't been able to see her had been long and hard.

Xu You slowly sat up and was about to say something when he was embraced by Wen Ji.

He held her through the covers, brushing his slightly cool lips against the nape of her neck in a loving, delicate motion as he murmured, "I missed you so much."

Missing grew like weeds growing wild in the wilderness, shredding his sanity to the ground.

Wen Ji kissed her lips, and instead of being patient and meticulous, he was extremely aggressive in drawing the warmth from her lips.

As her lips and tongue lick and tangle, Xu You is forced to raise her head and grab his shoulders with both hands, only then realizing that he is cold and wet, and remembering last night's rainy weather, she realizes why he is holding her through the covers.

After a long time, Xu You slightly side open head gasp, see him again close to chase, she raised her hand to cover his mouth, "You have to go to wash hot water, change clothes ......" Avoid getting cold.

Before she could finish her sentence, Wen Ji interrupted her, "You smack me."

"Do you hate me." His eyes were slightly reddened at the ends, and his tone held a palpable note of caution.

" Xu A, don't be afraid, it's okay to be with me, I won't harm you, I won't let you die."

"You and the baby will be fine."

"Will you believe me, and not be allowed to loathe me."

Wen Ji's dark and sunken eyes have a wet and watery light, he stared at her with a deadly stare, the whole person seems to be divided into two sides, one side begging to please her as long as she is willing to be with him, one side of the crazy madness, as if she dares to say a word of no, he will reveal his cold fangs.

The emotions he had piled up for thirty-seven days were on the verge of a dam collapse, and would break and crumble with a word from her, or ebb with a gesture from her.

Wen Ji rubbed his face against the nape of her neck and kissed her a little, full of pleading with her, " Xu A , don't get sick of me."

"You have to love me and not leave me."

"I won't leave you, how could I hate you?" Xu You said.

"You'll have to prove it to me." His voice was muffled at the nape of her neck.

"How do I prove it?"

" Xu A ," he took her hand and placed it on his own, "you pity me."

"You have to pity me." He raised his eyes to hers with lust.

Xu You's other hand tugged up the sleeve of his shirt, holding back his face as he nodded hotly.

He hooked his lips and smiled, seemingly satisfied and lustful, and his clear face became colorful and demonic.

......

--

Behind the screen, the large bath tub steaming with water vapor, Wen Ji stripped off his clothes, revealing large and small wounds all over his body, scars crisscrossing his body, shocking to the eyes, especially the red, swollen and purple rotting knees.

He couldn't get out of the tub to take a bath, he could only wet a cloth towel and wring it out to wipe it off, he had to be careful to avoid the wound, and after a lot of trouble, he then secretly put on the medicine, and specially asked Hikari to ask for an ointment that didn't have a smell.

He thought he could hide it from Xu You.

It wasn't her guilt and remorse and worry that he wanted, these were just things he wanted to do that had nothing to do with her and shouldn't be a burden to her.

What he doesn't realize is that Xu You is cooperating with him.

Wen Ji is so famous, how can the matter of kneeling steps and cutting blood be hidden from everyone, she will be able to make it clear with a little bit of inquiring, but she is even more aware of Wen Ji's thoughts.

Since things have been finalized and cannot be changed, it would be better to let him have less burden on his heart, and she is willing to carry this burden silently.

The two couples, the ones who know each other best, conceal and cooperate at the same time, all for the sake of each other's peace of mind.

Many things, many emotions, do.

--

It's been a long time coming, and it's fall.

On the day Xu You went into labor, Wen Ji was already emaciated, and he prayed and fasted day after day to obtain forgiveness and not to harm Xu You and the fetus in his womb.

"Men are not allowed to enter." The two laboring women stopped Wen Ji.

Without a word, Winking Art forced his way in.

The laboring woman frowned and was about to say something, but Xu You waved her hand and said with difficulty, "It's just a matter of concern."

" Xu A ," Wen Ji clutched her hand, his heart vaguely uneasy, "you won't leave me right?"

Xu You opened his mouth and screamed out miserably before he could speak, Wen Ji's gaze shattered and his eyes reddened in an instant, his tail voice trembled as he said, "We don't want a child in the future, never again."

The mother told Xu You to exert herself while showing an unbelievable expression, who does not want to have many children and grandchildren, look at his expression, it is hard to not want to have this child now.

Xu You no longer had the energy to answer him, and in his head he was shouting one after another for Seven-Eight: "Seven-Eight, I'm dying, I'm about to die of fucking pain, turn on the pain shield for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The seven or eight who had never given birth to a child hugged and cried, "This affects your ability to make a strong effort to give birth to a child; you might as well endure it, and when the child comes out, it will take you out of the world."

"......"

Xu You pain in the dark, but also the wen magic reached out to the wrist bites bleeding, dying not know how long to stay up, and finally heard a cry.

The laboring woman picked up the bloodstained child and said aloud, "It's a girl child."

That's great.

Xu You exhausted all the strength of the body, can not even bend the lips, vision began to blur, vaguely see the delivery woman to carry the baby over, Wen Ji did not take, only hold her hand tightly.

In a haze, she felt Wen Ji kiss her brow, and she struggled to open her eyes, finally seeing his tears dripping silently.

One by one, they looked as good as a clear spring flowing through black flare.

He then looked at her in this way and wept silently.

--

When Xu You woke up again, he realized that he was still in this world and hadn't returned to blank space.

"Seven-eight, what's going on?"

Did the renewal of life fail? What about the child?

Seven Eight said, "Points redemption failed because the plot setting was changed, and it was canceled for fear that forcing the execution of the renewal would lead to a world bug."

Xu You realized that this might be related to what Wen Ji had done before, but he had never thought that he could really change his mind.

Xu You : "What about the trust value and the blackening value?"

"Trust value 99, blackout value 1."

Xu You was slightly relieved when it looked like the mission was one step away from completion.

A few moments later, the door to the room was opened, and the midwife, as a half-nurse, held the baby, who had been fed and was no longer crying, and wanted to put it next to Xu You's bed so that she could see it when she woke up, but when she approached, she realized that she had already woken up.

"Madam happened to wake up and came to take a look at the young lady." The midwife carefully handed the baby to Xu You.

Xu You took it slowly, her movements rusty, and the laborer warned, "Hold her neck, yes, be careful."

Xu You held the baby steady and looked down at the spitting baby, wrinkled and red and ugly, but through the 800-degree filter, she thought it was super cute.

Xu You touched the baby's head, pinched her face, tickled her little hand, small and soft, heart melting.

The laboring woman watched from the sidelines and couldn't help but snicker, "You don't know, ma'am, but it's the first time I've seen a maiden not crying and a groom crying in the delivery room."

Obviously just dropping tears, the raging emotions inside called for the onlookers to watch in horror.

Xu You think of that last look, saw him after the robbery, general, aggrieved and afraid of the tears, fell and silent, like water vapor condensation on the green bamboo, silent slide down.

"What about him?"

The laboring woman said, "The Master fell ill and is not off his couch today."

Xu You : "Take the baby over to him later."

She hung her head and gazed tenderly at the baby girl in her arms.

Wenjiao, we have a whole family now.

You're no longer alone, and neither am I. We have the deepest of bonds, we're family.

--

Five years later, the warm afternoon sun spilled into the courtyard, which was surrounded by onion orchids, with a few yellow stamens in the center of six white petals.

Xu You watered them, and the droplets of sunlight tinted water glistened slightly.

"Mother."

A girl with a chubby face and two flower buds on her head hugged Xu You's leg, and asked in a milky voice: "Mother, why does Daddy have only one hand, and where did his other hand go?"

Xu You clapped his hands together and led Tuan A to the study, where he put up a brush and drew her a picture.

Tuan A lay on the edge of the table and watched.

Tuan A was used to Xu You's sketches, so she didn't find it strange. The only thing she didn't understand was the pair of things behind Wen Shu, she pointed at them, "Mother, what's this?"

Xu You took her into her arms and explained, "These are wings."

"Your father may be missing a hand, but he has wings that no one can see."

Tuan A still doesn't understand, "What are daddy's wings for?"

"His wings bring luck to his family," Xu You warmly smiled, "and so can bring you into this world, and will guard you as you grow up safely."

Tuan A seemed to understand, but only said, "Mother, then give me this painting."

When Xu You nods, Tuan A slowly takes the paper into his arms.

At night, when Xu You goes to take a bath, Tuan A runs towards Wen Ji with her short legs. Wen Ji is half lying on the bed reading a book, and when he sees Tuan A about to climb onto the bed, he puts down the book and scoops her up with one hand.

"What's wrong?" Smell Art stroked her head.

"Daddy, I found out your little secret." Tuan A bobbed his head, a little smugly.

Wen Ji raised an eyebrow and smiled, before matching her with a feigned panic, "What is it?"

Seeing this, Tuan A grinned and whispered, "Mother told me."

With that, she fished out the piece of drawing paper that she had crumpled from the inside of her arms and handed it to Wen Ji.

As the Seeing Technique unfolded, she said, "Mother said that Father is missing a hand, and that's because Father has wings."

Little children are forgetful, and she thought for a while before continuing, "Mother said that father's wings would bring us luck and would protect me from growing up quickly."

Smell Art was stunned, his fingertips landing on the pair of wings, his eyelashes lowered.

Growing up being treated as a frakking freak, how lucky he was to have such a warm home, and the handicap of his life was made up for by warmth at this moment.

Seeing that Wunjutsu didn't say anything, Tuan A looked closer at him in confusion and let out a cry, "Daddy, your eyes are red."

"Don't be afraid, only Mother and I know this secret."

Tuan A touched his eyes with his hand and coaxed him awkwardly, "Daddy don't cry oh I promise I won't tell."

Wen Ji wrapped his arms around her tightly and said in a hoarse whisper, "Okay, daddy trusts you."

"Ding - trust value 100, blackening value 0, congratulations to the host for completing the mission."

--

It rained lightly during the night, pattering, and only one candle flicked in the wind in the dimly lit room.

Xu You's eyes are closed, and a phrase rings in his head, "Is it a mirror image of being out of the world?"

"Yes."

Seven Eight: "System initiating replication program, memory replication loading, emotion replication loading, personality replication loading ......"

A minute later, the system beep sounded again, "The replication and loading of all indicators is complete, is it out of the world?"

Listening to the even breathing of the person beside her, Xu You's mind ached, pursed her lips, and replied, "Yes."

A white light came on in her head, Xu You gradually lost consciousness, and when the white light receded, she was completely out of the world.

Meanwhile, Winking Art opened his eyes.

Outside the house, the rain stopped, the raindrops hovered in mid-air, the candlelight inside the house was fixed and motionless, and the time of the whole world froze and stood still.

A mechanical electronic voice sounded, "Hidden system function activated, is it mirrored out of the world?"

Wen Ji sat up and glanced at the person beside him, then said expressionlessly, "Yes."

A moment later, the light like a shattered mirror dispersed, and Winking Art's eyes re-lighted after dulling.

As the raindrops continued to fall and the candlelight proceeded to flicker lightly, Wen Ji reclined back on the bed, wrapping Xu You, who was beside him, into his arms and slowly closing his eyes.

The gears of the world are turning, something has changed, but it goes on.
