C104 (1/2)
I was stunned for a long time. Tears suddenly streamed down his face.
A person crying was a sign of sorrow.
The grief was so intense.
The sky gradually brightened. The moon was gone.
Yang Dabao returned. Ask me why.
I didn't answer, just burst into tears.
”Do you regret it?” Yang Dabao said.
After a while, he sighed heavily and said with a sorrowful expression, ”All the humans in this world have died! The men and women, the old and the young, had all died! Only Ouyang Riyue's zombie was lying on the branch. Some have already begun to grow transparent wings! ”
I looked up at the gray sky and said, ”Great treasure! I'm leaving! ”
”Where are you going?” Yang Dabao asked.
”To a place I should be!”
”Where are you supposed to go?” Yang Dabao asked again.
I didn't answer because I didn't know how.
After that, Yang Dabao did not ask anymore. Maybe he knew he couldn't get anything out of his. He looked confused. I suddenly felt a kind of unspeakable pity for him.
”Great treasure, do you have any wish?” I asked.
Yang Dabao shook his head, and laughed bitterly: ”I don't think so!”
”Don't tell me you don't want Er Tao to come back to life?” ”No,” I said.
Yang Dabao was silent. After a while, he said, ”Er Tao, he won't be able to live anymore!”
”Why?” I asked.
There was another long silence. Yang Dabao said: ”He never existed!”
On the ground, Er Tao's body had already disappeared.
”Great treasure!”
Yang Dabao teared up and miserably laughed, saying, ”There are some people! ”How lonely it must be!”
I didn't know what to say.
Yang Dabao said: ”Jin Shi, when you were still living in the prison, I brought a monkey to your house. Monkey was wearing a flowery leather skirt and a golden crown on his head! It fought for days and nights with you in your white suit on your wedding photo. In the end, the two of them fought to a draw. That monkey was the Great Saint Sun Wukong of the Sky! ”Here, I'll give it to you now!”
As he said that, Yang Dabao took out a small multicolored puppet from his body and handed it over to me.
”What an exquisite puppet, lifelike! has even depicted the charm of Monkey Sun! ” I took the coloured puppet and praised it.
Yang Dabao laughed, and more tears flowed down his face. He said, ”I have a good friend! His name is Er Tao! But he was not a true friend! But without him, how lonely would I be! ”
I didn't know what to say.
Yang Dabao slowly extended his hand. In his hand appeared a small puppet with long hair draped over its shoulders, whose clothes were dyed yellow. It could not help but sob, ”I have the deepest feelings for him! I won't give it to you! ”
I didn't know what to say.
”Jin Shi, I'm leaving!”
”Where to?” I asked.
”To a place I should be!”
”Will we meet again?” I asked again.
”I don't know, maybe!”
Yang Dabao left. There was an indescribable loneliness in his frail, stooped back. As he walked, the hump on his body fell off. Out of the clothes. I walked over and picked the hump up from the ground. It was nothing more than a lump of compressed cotton wrapped in yellow leather.
”He's not a Hunchback, I'm the only one! He did it to imitate me! ”
Yang Dabao walked further. Another thing fell from him. I went over and picked it up. It was a wooden mask. The mask was painted exactly like my face, covered with a soft layer of flesh. Very real.
”So his face is not the same as mine. He had used a mask to change his face! It's definitely more than just this mask! ”
Yang Dabao finally walked out of the courtyard gate, and his body turned and disappeared.
I don't know where he went.
”Ai!” A sigh could be heard. I turned to follow the sound. He saw a man wearing an earthenware jar standing in the doorway of a room.
I wonder how he got here.
”There's really an indescribable sadness!” His voice came out of the jar again.
”Who the hell are you?” I asked.
”You don't know who I am! ”Don't you know who I am when I take off the jar?” said the man with the pot.
Then he raised his hands and held the jar above his head and slowly pulled it off his head.
Strangely enough. As more and more of his face was revealed from the jar, his originally tall figure became increasingly shorter. At the same time, his back started to bulge.
When he had completely removed the jar from his head, he became as tall as I was, with the hump and drum behind him as tall as mine.
His face looked exactly the same as mine.
But this was not the end. Gradually, his face changed and became a blur. Finally, it took shape. It looked like it had been burned and dropped.
”What the hell!” I couldn't help but shout.
”Jin Shi, don't lie to yourself anymore! I am you, and you are me! Wearing an earthenware jar meant that others would not be able to see your ugly appearance of being scalded. In addition to the change in your body, no one else knows who you are! But you can never deceive your own heart! ” the man said.
”What nonsense are you talking about!?” My face wasn't scalded! Mine is a smooth face! ” I want to touch my face with my hand, but I don't have the courage to raise it.
