Me and the Doll Girl of Zhidiao Island

Chapter 56 54. Relying on Others' Sacrifice to Live
The scenery of Zhiniao Island is like being smeared with honey in the sunset, and even the snow-white clouds are gradually stained with a rust-like mottled crimson color.

In the pinna, the sound of birdsong, wind, and sea waves is extremely even, and no one is overwhelmed by the other.

Only the abandoned iron factory in front of me, like the corpse of a monster that has been slaughtered, has been lying prone here for years with a determination that neither the queen nor anyone can shake.

"Why did you choose this place after thinking about it?" Jinghai Shenyue asked.

"It's hard for me to praise you so much." Jiang Yuanshen said.

"I'm not complimenting you."

"Because there is no accident, it's just you and me here, and no one will disturb us when we talk about things."

Jinghai Shenyue snorted self-deprecatingly: "Listening to you, I seem to be easily abducted by boys?"

Jiang Yuanshen shrugged his shoulders, stepped out and walked towards the steel monster's body.

"Then will you come in with me?"

"Go in, of course go in."

Jinghai Shenyue opened her legs under her skirt and stepped on the dirt and rocks Jiang Yuanshen passed by, her lead-gray long hair swaying slightly.

The two walked to a fence door, next to a security room, which was a small room made of wood and iron, and it was empty inside.

Now, with a slight bend, one can pass under the fence and enter the abandoned iron factory.

"Student Jiang Yuan." She spoke suddenly.

"Ok?"

"Student Chaokong is willing to let you out to meet me?"

What does "put" mean?Am I a daily pet on a leash? "Jiang Yuanshen complained and squatted down, and passed under the fence.

Jinghai Shenyue followed closely, carrying her schoolbag in her arms and passing through the fence.

"She doesn't seem to like you getting too close to me. It's been like this from the beginning." She straightened up and brushed her long hair that fell down to her chest to her waist.

In fact, when school was over in the afternoon, Chaokong Yaoxing came to him and said that he would stay in school for tutoring——

"I'll stay with you."

"No, I can do it by myself, you don't have to stay here with me."

"Don't want me to teach you? Or do you think I can't do it?"

"I can learn well without you. Of course it doesn't mean that I don't need you. It's just"

Jiang Yuanshen felt that she was still a little scared in her heart, it was the thought of taking too much care of herself.

It's a little unbelievable how miraculous it is to try to be strong without making him think he's misunderstood and trying to defend himself.

"I think she's fine," Jiang Yuanshen said.

"She told you personally?" Jinghai Shenyue tilted her head in confusion, her eyes were clear and transparent.

"My guess."

"Your opinion?"

"It is, but I have the bottom of my heart, and nothing will happen again."

The coldness of the empty space in the scrap iron factory is overwhelming.

Jiang Yuanshen looked around, he and Chaokong Yaoxing would be chased away by his uncle whenever he got close to this place since he was a child, but he didn't expect to successfully come in after a few years, but there is no one here.

At a glance, the ground is full of scattered branches, leaves, earth, rocks and rubble. Standing here, I can imagine the scene of workers coming and going in my mind.

The weighbridge, more than ten meters long, was pressed down by iron sheets of various thicknesses alone, and the surrounding area was full of desolation.

"where are we going."

Jiang Yuanshen pointed to an abandoned two-story office building, with sporadic and incomplete glass shining in the sunlight.

Jinghai Shenyue nodded expressionlessly and continued to follow behind him.

The iron door of the office building has long been rusted, and even the glass on the door has been shattered.

Jiang Yuanshen pressed the handle and pushed down hard. He could feel a lot of resistance, but the door was still opened.

The space is quite large, everything on the first floor has been emptied, leaving only the iron frame next to the wall, the desk, and a few single chairs placed in disorder.

The outer cover of the chair was damaged and out of shape, and the sponges inside were all sticking out.

"I'll find some time to come over and clean it up some other day, and it will probably be fine."

The situation inside is much better than Jiang Yuanshen imagined. He thought that because of the earthquake, the inside would be so damaged that he couldn't even walk.

Some windows have no glass, and the depths of the crimson sky can be seen. The white texture like claw marks extends, as if it will protrude from the glassless window at any time.

"Why do you suddenly want to take me away from Zhiniao Island?" Jinghai Shenyue suddenly muttered.

Without any superfluous words, it immediately entered the theme.

Jiang Yuan Shen turned around and found that she took out a handkerchief from the hidden skirt pocket of her skirt, and gently patted the dust on the single chair.

Immediately afterwards, she covered the skirt covering her hips with her hands, sat on the chair, and stared at him upright like a doll.

In the body of the dead architectural monster, she is like a magnolia in full bloom.

Seeing her being so straightforward, Jiang Yuanshen didn't have any ink marks.

"On the day of the ceremony, Yao Xing committed suicide."

The moment he said these words, he was still a little distracted. He felt that he was talking about something very important, so he couldn't help but get nervous.

"."

A trace of surprise flashed across Jinghai Shenyue's small face, her small mouth was tightly closed, but her eyes wandered to nowhere.

A long silence fell, and the sticky atmosphere mixed with the smell of rust poured into the nostrils.

Jiang Yuan wanted to break the silence, but when he looked at her, there was an inexplicable throbbing in his heart——

The girl in front of her is like a carefully maintained potted flower, which makes people just want to quietly wait for it to bloom.

Then, the words that came from Jinghai Shenyue's mouth were so light that it was unimaginable.

"She is still alive now because I used the ability to let you go back in time, so you saved Asakusa-san. If there is no accident, the condition I put forward at the time was that you want to take me away from Zhiniao Island?"

Jiang Yuanshen suddenly felt uneasy.

Her attitude gave her the feeling that on the one hand, she thought it was impossible, and on the other hand, she felt that such a thing would happen long ago.

Outside the window, white clouds float like ice cream.

"Is there anything more specific?"

The wind pressure blowing in from the window moved Jinghai Shenyue's bangs.

Jiang Yuan nodded carefully, and told about the incident of Chaokong Yaoxing's suicide and Jinghai Shenyue's visit to his house.

Except Kurosawa Reai.

"I really did that?" Jinghai Shenyue frowned.

The sound of "creak" and "creak" came from the ears, it was the incomplete steel limbs of the monster, swaying slightly in the wind.

"Thank you."

Jiang Yuanshen's voice squeezed out from his vocal cords was several times weaker than usual.

"no need to thank me."

Jinghai Shenyue stared at Jiang Yuanshen's cheeks, her tone revealed a trace of firmness that she wanted herself to believe,
"You may not understand my feelings, but I want to tell you that if that kind of thing happens now, I will definitely not help you."

"But you've helped me."

"Maybe at that time I couldn't bear to stand on the sidelines, so I wanted to do something."

"So you helped me?"

"That's right." Jinghai Shenyue gently stroked the hem of her skirt with both hands, and said with a smile that was no different from usual, "It sounds a little stupid, but if you haven't experienced these things, you can't understand the mood, even I No exceptions."

Now Jinghai Shenyue puts on an indifferent appearance and stays out of the matter, that is because Chaokong Yaoxing still exists, and what Jiang Yuanshen said is just a distant story.

"Sorry to bother you."

"Chao Kong Yao Xing is a good boy." Jinghai Shenyue raised her hand, brushed her hair behind her ears, revealing her fair and lovely face.

Jiang Yuanshen looked at her face, like a round white steamed bun in a steamer, it would sink in with a light touch of a finger, loosen it and pop out again.

Jinghai Shenyue felt his gaze, closed her beautiful legs under the skirt and said: "I know what you want to do to me now, but unfortunately, you are very timid."

"What are you talking too much?"

"A boy who doesn't even dare to kiss me, what else can he do to me?" A mocking sigh was released from her lips.

".Who knows how many people you've kissed?"

The sunlight pouring in from the window outlines her outline, and the shadows expand in the middle of the soft long legs under the skirt.

"I'm protected, I haven't even touched a boy's hand."

"so poor."

".Stupid." Jinghai Shenyue suddenly raised her eyebrows and glared at him, folded her arms and said, "The current situation is that I want to leave Zhiniao Island, but I'm not sure if I can."

She cursed lightly and then started to talk about business again, making Jiang Yuanshen not sure whether to refute or follow along.

"Would you like to leave by steamboat or by plane?"

Still chose to talk about business.

"Airplane?" Jinghai Shenyue tilted her head slightly and said, "There is no passenger airport on Zhiniao Island."

"Isn't there one on the map?"

"You mean Zhiniao Airport?"

"Ah."

"It's a corporate airport, and outsiders like us can't get in at all." Jinghai Shenyue folded her arms with one arm and put her other hand on her chin and said, "And I'm not sure if I can leave, not how to leave."

Jiang Yuanshen supported his forehead and said, "Be more careful."

"I heard from my mother that once the queen uses her abilities, she will pay a price." Jinghai Shenyue said in a tone full of affirmation, "The longer the time and the more changes, the greater the price."

"Will the Queen pay a price for using her ability? What price?"

Jiang Yuanshen asked in surprise.

"Yes, the price." Jinghai Shenyue slightly lowered her slender eyelashes and said, "I have never used my ability carefully since I became a queen, until what happened in the festival made me feel very dull and out of control."

"So it rained heavily?"

"Yes, but I never knew what the price was before, and I'm not too sure until now."

Jinghai Shenyue sighed softly, mixed with a pale and helpless breath,
Jiang Yuanshen's thoughts spread like wisteria flowers, his body felt so heavy, and he couldn't help sitting on the dusty chair.

"Your mother is also a queen, what else did she tell you?"

"No, she never told me about the queen, and I also overheard about the price."

Jinghai Shenyue's breathing suddenly became heavy, and the pure white cloth was pulled out of its folds,

"Although she is a mother, I can't get along with her, and I didn't say much."

"Clean up the status quo, that is, you want to leave but can't because of the cost"

Jiang Yuanshen hesitated for a while, then suddenly realized that he raised his eyebrows and looked at her, his breathing stopped at that moment,

"Student Jinghai, you have probably already guessed what the price will be?"

"."

The eyes of the two were intertwined through the dust and mist wrapped in light, and the light in Jinghai Shenyue's pupils flickered slightly.

Probably because of nervousness, in order to suppress this indescribable mood, Jiang Yuanshen took deep breaths repeatedly.

That word, like boiling hot water, is constantly bursting into my mind with hot air bubbles.

The two people who looked at each other opened their lips in unison.

"earthquake."

"earthquake."

The simple vocabulary exudes a shocking sense of oppression, and Jiang Yuanshen couldn't help holding his breath.

The blood in the whole body is surging like crazy, and will be swallowed by this heat wave at any time, the feeling of landslides and ground cracks penetrates into the bone marrow, and the earthquake scene in memory is as sharp as a sharp knife.

He swallowed, trying to suppress the tension, but still got scared.

"I can leave at any time, but I'm not sure if I can."

Jinghai Shenyue's calm voice brought the fluttering Jiang Yuanshen back to reality.

"."

Jiang Yuanshen crossed her fingers and pressed her forehead. She could leave alone, but if it was true, what would the islanders do.

However, the previous queen made such a choice.

Could it be that the earthquake was the price paid by the previous empress after she used her abilities?
"By the way, have you heard that the big ruins are going to be developed."

In the space where light and dust meet, Jinghai Shenyue murmurs.

Jiang Yuanshen was stunned for a while, his heart suddenly started beating violently, and his brain seemed to be covered with a thick layer of paint.

"Development?"

"Well, I heard from my father that a big shopping mall will be built, as well as office buildings and so on."

Her eyes are so deep that it seems that people can breathe them in.

"But these must be decided by the islanders. In a few days, he will launch publicity in some places to get the islanders to support his decision."

"yes."

Jinghai Shenyue brushed her black hair behind her ears, stared at him intently and said, "Will you support Jiang Yuan?

Jiang Yuanshen showed an exhausted expression, put his hands on his knees, and let out a breath slowly.

Outside the window, the timbre of Noise Cuckoo rose through the air like a cracking silk, and gradually weakened like an ebbing tide.

"Development of ruins."

He whispered softly at the volume of talking to himself, and the first thought in his mind was a strong rejection.

But when he calmed down, he had to think——

What's wrong with the mayor?Utilize the deserted land on the island to promote local economic growth.

What's wrong with the islanders?Building a square linked to money on the land where relatives died is bound to be hard to accept.

Things like money and future development don't matter at all, only the thoughts of loved ones are eternal.

Those who can think this way are called family members.

But for a better future, you have to choose to give up, this is called life.

Is it more important to convey your thoughts to loved ones who have long since passed away, or is it more important to cherish the present life?Maybe this is the only chance.

What things are taken for granted?
The seasons will only turn cruelly on their own, and the winter will pass, and the new spring will come again.

"Don't you think it's strange? Everyone tramples on each other in their lives, and then they have to rely on other people's sacrifices to continue their lives."

Jinghai Shenyue chuckled when she said this, but it still shocked Jiang Yuanshen a lot.

Zhiniao Island, isn't that what it is?
