As you get closer, you can see the end of the bridge at a glance.
A column is held up from the water. There is a light at the center of the column. The light falls from the sky and pierces the darkness.
This light became the only light in the world.
Somewhat warm and illuminating in all directions.
Kick!
The four of them walked hand in hand and quickly walked to the column, all looking excited.
"I'm going to check the situation first, don't run around."
After Qiu Qian and others reminded him to be careful, Zhou Xu walked into the light alone.
The white and gentle light is not dazzling.
The moment he reached out and touched the light, he could clearly feel that he could get out of here.
After carefully sensing for a moment, Zhou Xu walked in. He had an idea to go out as soon as he wanted.
Then he turned around and smiled at Qiu Qian and the others:
"There should be no problem, you can get out from here."
Hu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and led Xiaojing towards the light pillar.
"Let's go."
"Um."
Xiaojing nodded heavily and followed Qiu Qian step by step towards the light pillar.
Chunsheng is also looking forward to the light, getting closer and closer.
After about ten steps, Qiu Qian walked into the light pillar, but she was stunned for a moment as soon as she entered.
She held Xiaojing's hand, and at this time, she found that Xiaojing's hand was a little unable to pull.
Turning around and looking over, I found Xiaojing standing in front of the light with her head lowered, no longer taking any steps.
Chunsheng stood beside Xiaojing and did not move.
Qiu Qian's heart skipped a beat, and she tried to pull Xiao Jing in with a little force.
But Xiaojing suddenly broke away from her.
"I thought about it and decided not to be with you anymore." Xiaojing lowered her head and said.
"What are you talking about?" Zhou Xu frowned.
He felt something was wrong from the beginning, but he never thought much about the fact that Xiaojing and the others did not go with them at the last moment.
"Brother Zhou Xu, do you think you are good people?" Xiao Jing gently grabbed her dress and looked up at Zhou Xu.
"I" Zhou Xu thought for a moment and said seriously:
"Although I have a bad reputation outside and am still a villain, I want to be a good person.
Of course, you don’t have to worry, I live in the sunshine and won’t do those disgusting things.
I will help you find a job, find a school, and teach you how to get used to life there.
There is no one here anymore, there is no need to stay here."
"No." Xiaojing stared at Qiu Qian and Zhou Xu and said word by word:
"You are sinners."
The sinners? Zhou Xu and Qiu Qian were stunned.
Xiaojing stared at them and continued:
"We are accustomed to the coldness of darkness, but your appearance makes us feel warm.
Delicious food, beautiful clothes, warm quilts, and a bright future.
You are like a light shining in the darkness, bringing hope, but you have to leave again.
It seems to be our salvation, but in fact you are guilty.
Only by keeping you here forever can we be truly saved."
"Does this light lead to darkness or light?" Qiu Qian asked, pointing to the beam of light.
Xiaojing whispered: "Bright."
"Then why do you want to let us go?" Zhou Xu asked.
"Because" Xiaojing's eyes were moist, she showed a bright smile and said:
"I have been saved."
She held Chunsheng's hand, with a smile in her tears:
"I seemed to have had a dream. In the dream, I was asking for help and being chased. My body hurt and the surroundings were so cold.
When I woke up, I saw brother Zhou Xu falling from the sky. Teacher Qiu Qian helped me bandage my wounds and saved my mother-in-law.
Take us to find our relatives, prepare food for us, and teach me to read and write.
I can write my own name, my grandma’s name, and the names of many, many family members. I feel extremely happy.
I want to live like this for a longer time, so the very nearby temple becomes far away. We don't want to get close to it, but we will find it one day.
When we arrived at the temple, we were ready to be sacrificed alive in front of the altar. You have helped us so much, so it is natural for us to be sacrificed alive.
But you didn't abandon us, and you protected us.
Your kindness makes us unable to extricate ourselves.
I want to keep you here forever, forever and ever.
Brother Zhou Xu said that Sister Yue would attract rescuers, so I sent all the children out, even those who were not tall.
I don't want you to be picked up.
I don’t want to at all.”
Xiaojing was a little excited when she said this.
Chun Sheng touched Xiao Jing's head and apologized to Zhou Xu and the others:
"I'm really sorry."
"When I received the clothes, I was so happy. I felt so beautiful. There seemed to be light in the darkness.
You gave us food and clothing, warmth, hope, and kindness." Xiaojing continued with red eyes:
"Last night I woke up from a dream, and it turned out that I was the source of the darkness.
And light cannot be swallowed by darkness, so I want to push you back to the light."
Zhou Xu frowned and stepped out of the light, wanting to enter the darkness.
But how can light enter darkness?
Wherever light goes, there is light.
He can no longer step into the darkness, he can only illuminate the darkness.
"Believe me, my dad is a giant in the world of cultivation. He is very strong and can take you out."
After hearing what Zhou Xu said, Xiaojing shook her head heavily:
"It's useless. We also want to go to the Kingdom of God, go to school, and live a good life."
"Teacher Qiu Qian said that I am very smart and learn Chinese characters very quickly. If I go to the Kingdom of God, will I become a talented woman?" Xiao Jing asked, looking at Zhou Xu and Qiu Qian.
"Yes." Zhou Xu nodded.
"You praised me for looking very good in a skirt, and my mother-in-law also said that I am more beautiful than the eldest ladies in the city. When I grow up, will I become a good-looking eldest sister?" Xiaojing asked again.
"I will definitely do it." Zhou Xu looked at Xiao Jing and nodded heavily.
"Then when I grow up, can I take over my grandma's hard work and let her live a good life?" Xiao Jing looked forward to it.
The place Zhou Xu spoke of, and the living environment there, was the kingdom of God they dreamed of.
"Yes, come on, hold my hand." Zhou Xu stretched out his hand, trying to pull them out or let him in.
However, Xiaojing and Chunsheng took a step back.
"Enough, it's enough, it's really enough." Xiaojing shook her head, tears streaming down her face, and she said with a smile on her lips:
"The injuries on our bodies are healed, completely healed. It was you who healed us. The coldness around us also disappeared. It was you who drove away the darkness.
We in the darkness, who were originally cold, have become living people with you, valued, cared for and loved.
How can you stay here for our own selfish reasons?
I'm going to send you out."
Boom!
The darkness is twisting and the light is spreading.
Zhou Xu and Qiu Qian felt grass appear under their feet, and the endless darkness and lake disappeared little by little.
Also missing were Xiaojing and her mother-in-law.
"Come here, maybe my divine power can protect you." Qiu Qian stretched out her hand and said.
Xiao Jing stepped back and shook her head. She looked at Qiu Qian and pouted:
"Teacher Qiu Qian is the worst teacher I have ever seen. He scares me every day and says he doesn't like you anymore."
"I won't scare you this time." Qiu Qian stretched out her hand again and continued:
"Come out with your mother-in-law. I'm different from Zhou Xu. I'm a bad guy. It's easy for bad people to do things. I can let you go directly to our school."
"Me too," Xiao Jing couldn't help crying, "I also want to go to your city and live a happy life.
But when the light comes, the darkness will become part of the light, and we cannot continue to exist, because we are darkness but we also want the light."
Boom!
The night twists, and light appears, not from the outside, but from within, from the heart.
The eternal dark night welcomes the light of dawn.
The darkness is fading, and fading with the darkness are the figures of Xiaojing and Chunsheng.
"What if I said, if it were you who appeared next to us at that time, how wonderful it would be." Xiaojing cried.
"It's okay now, we are already happy enough." Chunsheng touched Xiaojing's head and said with a smile.
"I hate gods, but" Xiaojing looked at Qiu Qian and said with a smile:
"But I like Teacher Qiu Qian."
After the words fell, Xiaojing took her mother and took steps toward the light where Zhou Xu and the others were.
thump!
Xiaojing opened her arms and hugged Zhou Xu and Qiu Qian and said:
