Abyss of ignorance

Xingye turned around. Lu Yin thought he would refuse, but he didn't expect him to say, "I don't know who he is either."

"You don't even know who he is, why are you following him so wholeheartedly?" Lu Yin asked. At this time, the sky outside quickly darkened, and the light behind Xingye faded at a speed visible to the naked eye. Xingye had no intention of answering, but As the night approaches, for some reason it begins to rain in the originally clear sky.

"I guess the place I live is deep in the mountains, and the road is not so easy to walk at night on a rainy day." Lu Yin said, already familiar with picking up the match on the window sill, and said softly, The fire light came on, and the candle on the small table slowly lit up. The big flame left only a little light left.

The rain gradually became heavier, gathering on the leaves and falling patteringly.

Hoshino hesitated and walked back into the house.

Lu Yin opened the dinner brought by Xingye. By the light of the candle, the dinner turned out to be a box of shaomai and fresh meat and bamboo shoots. He couldn't help but murmured: "Why does he even know this?"

"I think the mentor told him everything." Hoshino said.

"tutor?"

"Lin Zhengyang, when I was taken away, everyone called him mentor, and so did I." Hoshino said.

"That...uncle?" Lu Yin said, glancing at the cowherd lying quietly next to the candle. The little umbrella still looked the same, just a little dry and curled. The little umbrella was casually made to coax. The old man who cared for him when he was five years old turned out to be Lin Zhengyang, whom Paula hated the most. Lu Yin could never connect the two.

He could remember that during that trip to Linzhou, this demonized man poured a lot of tenderness into his young self.

Cow tendon is one of them, as is Shaomai with fresh meat and diced bamboo shoots.

"He took me to the City God's Temple." Lu Yin picked up the Shaomai and said, "If I remember correctly, he told me that when his son was as old as me, he had to save money for a long time. , can afford the meat-filled shaomai. Every time I go there with my son to eat shaomai, it is their happiest day. I think, for some reason, I remind him of his own child. It’s just me I didn't expect that after so many years, he didn't forget it and told other people." He said with mixed emotions, "I should hate him. He is Paula's enemy and the Lu family's enemy. But I have never seen him as evil, only the old man who gave me comfort."

"Well, I've seen it. I mean, I've seen him look like a devil. He throws those innocent people into the dangerous swamp, like a sacrifice in hell. These people are killing each other, Struggling in the mud, he just led his entourage and looked at them expressionlessly. With just a look, the people around him would take action for him and kill those people. Those who were killed did not do anything wrong. , just because he is considered incompetent here. Incompetence is a capital crime here."

"That's crazy." Lu Yin shook his head, "Are you one of them?"

Hoshino shook his head: "I survived because I was useful. Fortunately, I didn't sacrifice my life for him. He put me in a place where no one can find me, a remote ranch, I don't know He never explained what his purpose was. There, I could get everything except freedom. I could practice horseback riding and archery there, but I couldn't cross the high fence. A few fierce herdsmen , always waiting around like a bad wolf, I can't escape from the master's hand. Or maybe I have a little hope in my heart, inexplicably believing that someone can find me and take me away." "You've been waiting. That person." Lu Yin said. The Shaomai was still placed in front of him. It was already cold. He didn't eat it. He shouldn't do other things while listening to others. This was his requirement for himself. Paula hoped He seemed like a gentleman, and somehow he probably preferred to be one inside and out.

"Well, that person brought Lin Zhengyang's instructions to let those who were monitoring me leave. He told me frankly that Lin Zhengyang gave me to him as a gift. He told him that I was the best in the world Sagittarius." When Hoshino said this, there was no unpleasant emotion, which surprised Lu Yin. No one likes to be given as a gift.

With the faint light, Xingye seemed to see Lu Yin's surprise and continued: "It's time to answer the question you asked me at the beginning, why I followed him wholeheartedly. Because, he told me that I was free. . Maybe you don’t understand, for a person who has lost his freedom, you don’t know the power of this sentence. I can see the sincerity in his eyes, he is different from Lin Zhengyang.

I asked him what his name was, and he said that before everything is done, you can call him Mr. Crane. "

"Mr. He?" Lu Yin's limited Chinese proficiency didn't seem to understand the name.

"Well, Mr. Crane, the crane from the Paper Crane, he said that he is like a Paper Crane that has no choice but to fly away. He promised a person that he would fly back, but that would take time." Hoshino said.

"What a strange person." Lu Yin murmured.

The two of them were chatting back and forth, while the rain outside was rustling and showed no sign of getting lighter.

Hoshino turned to look out the window: "It looks like it's going to rain all night."

"Probably because you know that I am too curious, I leave you to answer my questions. What is the relationship between Mr. He and Lin Zhengyang? You said they are different, but Lin Zhengyang seems to trust him." Lu Yin continued to ask.

"Understood, I had the same doubts as you at the beginning. I asked him if he was Lin Zhengyang's friend, and he said no. Lin Zhengyang was just an old friend to him. He said that Lin Zhengyang saved his life, and he accompanied him Lin Zhengyang has reached the end of his life. Even so, they are not friends." After Hoshino finished speaking, he suddenly smiled, "I say this, but it seems that I can't solve your confusion. What kind of relationship is this? None of them understood.”

Lu Yin nodded slightly after hearing this. The flame of the candle became fainter. Hoshino picked up the candle and dripped the excess wax oil on the table. Before it solidified, he placed the candle on it so that it could be stable. Stand still.

This is a simple skill that Lu Yin, who is completely modern, does not master. The candlelight became bright again, "Mr. He..." Lu Yin murmured, "I always feel that he is very similar to a person I know..."
