"I can't give up, what else can I do!" Once he thought about it, Chen Cao relaxed, and wiped his hands on his body that could no longer tell whether it was blood or mud.
For his life, everything happened too fast, so fast that it was hard to breathe.
Duan Tianya sat on the floor and looked at the morning sunshine. He did not answer Chen Cao's question directly, but narrowed his eyes.
"Chen Cao, aren't you a little shocked by Hei Kui's death? Haven't you ever thought about why I left my best comrade by your side at the last moment of my life?"
"No, I never thought about it!" Chen Cao replied without thinking, but his hands that were already muddy had slowly clenched into fists.
"Okay!" Duan Tianya suddenly laughed, and the branches around him began to tremble slightly, startling the birds in the jungle and flying into the sky.
"Chen Cao, I promise you, if you want to leave, you can leave now, but do you think you can go back?"
Duan Tianya's eyes suddenly became sharp. He lowered his scabbard to the ground and looked at Chen Cao. He was like the morning sun, full of vitality and enthusiasm, as if he wanted to see through him. Chen Cao's whole body trembled slightly.
"I..." Chen Cao took a few steps back and stammered: "I...why can't I go back!"
He looked at Duan Tianya, at his prosthetic limbs, at the ancient sword in his hand, and found that he was actually nervous.
Duan Tianya stood up from the ground: "Chen Cao, I see your heart. Your heart is full of fear and inferiority. Although you can hide it, that fear can never be hidden from you. Although your
You are a strong person at heart, but you let fear bury yourself. You could clearly be a tiger, but you turned yourself into a cat. You have too many worries about life, so you don’t want to worry about it.
Dare to go your own way!"
Duan Tianya drew out his sword, and the sword light overflowed. His face turned cold: "You know, Chen Cao, a year ago, I could have promised you to train with Bao Li and the others, but you agreed to train together back then.
, it’s just because you’re doing it for friendship, right? You’re afraid of losing it, you’re doing it for friendship, it’s just because of your inner fear, you’re afraid you’ll lose your friend!”
Chen Cao took a few steps back, but Duan Tianya had already pulled out another sword from the ground and threw it to him. With a clang, the sword entered the ground for three points and trembled slightly, with a cheerful dragon roar.
Chen Cao's head was buzzing when he heard it.
"However, you only wanted to have peace of mind after three years of training, so I kept the words I wanted to say to you that day to today, a year later. I don't want to. You are the seed player I personally selected.
Excellent warrior, destined, come on, pick up the sword on the ground, release your inner desire, and defeat your inner fear!"
Duan Tianya raised his sword and waved it slowly, the light of the sword shining in Chen Cao's eyes.
"In the past year, in the past year, buckets, brooms, rags, the contemptuous sneers of classmates..." In the past year, all the scenes suddenly appeared in front of Chen Cao's eyes. Originally, he thought he was numb to all this, but for
When Duan Tianya pressed him, he found that he was shaken.
"Chen Cao, when it comes to swords, are you really a coward? Are you worse than a dog? Do you have no soul? Do you still remember your father, your uncle, and the family around you? They are all heroes.
, why can't you be a hero? Your heart clearly desires to be a hero, but you are overshadowed by their light. Don't you have no sense of honor at all? "
Duan Tianya walked up to Chen Cao step by step with his sword in hand, and kept asking questions. Every sentence seemed to knock Chen Cao's dusty heart.
"Chen Cao, isn't it enough for you to reflect on the blank stares and indifference from your classmates over the past year? When are you going to let go of your inferiority complex? Do you think your classmates treat you like that because they have a problem with you, even though you have already
You are numb, but you are hating in your heart. Don’t you think about the reason? The reason why they hate you is because of honor, the honor of the heroic troops. Come on, pick up your sword, let honor defeat fear and inferiority, and conquer everything!"
After Duan Tianya finished speaking, he waved his sword and stabbed at Chen Cao like lightning.
Keng, accompanied by a dragon's roar, the sword tip pierced Chen Cao's eyebrows, and blood flowed down drop by drop from the sword tip.
Chen Cao still stood tall and motionless, looking straight at Duan Tianya. His hands tightly held Duan Tianya's sword blade, motionless, but his eyes were a little more calm.
"Very good, very good!" Duan Tianya let go of the sword. He knew that as long as he gently turned around and drew the sword, the fingers of the boy opposite would be cut off immediately. Duan Tianya was very satisfied, because he knew that the look in his eyes
This boy, starting from today, will never let go of the weapon in his hand again.
He had exploded in silence, and deep in his heart, the seed of resistance to fear had begun to sprout.
Duan Tianya smiled, looking at the slowly rising sun. He took a deep breath, and then said, "Can we have a good chat now?"
Chen Cao threw the sword away and then held the hilt accurately. The expression on his face did not change at all. He just touched the two seal characters on the hilt with his bloody fingers and said slowly:
"Of course, it's just that I don't understand why this kind of antique is in your hands if it shouldn't be in a museum..."
······
The stars and the moon are like hooks, shining on the two ancient long swords stuck in the soil.
The moonlight was only slightly bright, but it was enough for Chen Cao to see Duan Tianya's face clearly. It was a face full of vicissitudes of life, and it was a bit scary to see it at night.
I have known Duan Tianya for a long time. Although I have not met him a few times, I still know the glorious history of this hero of the Republic from Bao Li and Zhou Hongye.
He had never sat so quietly for such a long time. The environment was very quiet today, so quiet that he could hear his own heartbeat.
It had been almost several hours. The two of them sat quietly with each other without saying a word. Their legs were a little numb, but after a while, they felt nothing.
However, the inner impatience still made Chen Cao feel a little shaken deep in his heart. At this moment, Duan Tianya opened his eyes.
"Have you never sat for such a long time?" If you don't look at Duan Tianya's face and just judge by his voice, Duan Tianya's slightly magnetic baritone will definitely remind you that he is a handsome man.
However, this was just Chen Cao's thought for a moment. Hearing Duan Tianya's voice, he nodded slightly honestly. With just a slight movement, Chen Cao felt a breath of cold air, because his legs were already numb.
After I felt it, that numb feeling went straight to my heart.
"It's a bit uncomfortable. When I was young, like you, I didn't like silence and liked sports, so I chose the noisy battlefield. But, do you know what a battlefield is?"
Chen Cao shook his head slightly. Although cold sweat had formed on his face, he still restrained himself from sitting still. As for Duan Tianya's question, in his mind, his understanding of the battlefield was limited to movie clips.
Duan Tianya did not continue to ask, but put his hand on his chest, smiled and said to Chen Cao: "Do you know what you are packing here?"
This time, Chen Cao did not shake his head or nod. He found that from beginning to end, he had no chance to speak because Duan Tianya didn't seem to let him speak at all.
Duan Tianya said: "Chen Cao, there is a lion locked up in your heart, longing to be released. Did you know that when you were examined, your heartbeat was 10 times faster than that of ordinary people? You are also the only one so far who has a soaring adrenal gland.
A hundred times faster than ordinary people, but still alive today!"
When Chen Cao heard Duan Tianya's words, he suddenly became happy. He opened his mouth and showed his white teeth and said: "Old Duan, you are so funny. I admit that my heart is longing for release, but I don't know how to release it."
Nothing, I can’t find this feeling, but I don’t agree with what you said next. Do you think you are watching a science fiction movie or a supernatural novel?”
Hearing Chen Cao's words, Duan Tianya managed to squeeze out a smile that disappeared from his face: "Why, you don't believe it?" After saying that, he suddenly stood up, took out a pistol from his body, opened the safety, and threw it in the
On the ground: "Pick it up!"
"Why, do you want to play a battle? I don't know how to use a gun! As soon as Duan Tianya changed his face, Chen Cao felt a sudden chill on his back. Although he wanted to die when he hit the ground, everyone has the instinct to survive.
However, when Chen Cao hesitated for a moment, he felt that there was a cold barrel on his head, and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"Pick it up, the safety has been turned on!" Duan Tianya's tone was unquestionable, and according to the weight of the words, the gun in his hand hit Chen Cao's forehead several times.
"What are you doing? You won't let me fight mosquitoes, will you?" Chen Cao felt his forehead was cold, but holding it on his head was not fun. He had no choice but to bend down and pick it up due to Duan Tianya's moody behavior.
After getting the gun, he knew that no matter whether he was a soldier or a soldier, he could not match the soldier in front of him who could definitely be rated as a first-level disabled person.
Duan Tianya, who was already standing behind Chen Cao, heard Chen Cao's helpless question and suddenly smiled like a child: "It seems that you are quite smart, I just want you to fight mosquitoes!"
"Mosquito, you... you're kidding!" Facing Duan Tianya's crazy request, Chen Cao's hand holding the gun started to sweat on the spot. Only now did he realize that in Bao Li's eyes, this god of murder in the army was
, is an out-and-out lunatic.
"Shh!" Duan Tianya ignored Chen Cao's messy thoughts and said softly: "Listen, try to feel it!"
