C1082 A Bird from Hell
It could also be said that Yan Hong died in order to save Gao Fei.
Although she already knew before she died that the Gao Fei she saved was a fake, that was no longer important to her. What was important was that she had used her actual actions to let people know how much she loved Gao Fei.
When she predicted that once she came to Lingnan, it was very likely that she would not be able to return to Jinnan alive, Sister Hong had already let go of all her worries. Just as she said before she died: She could finally live for herself once.
She died for Gao Fei, Gao Fei should be kneeling in front of her grave to express his sorrow for her.
Gao Fei did not kneel down.
This was because he believed that if Sister Hong were alive, she wouldn't have allowed him to guard Shen Yinbing and kneel in front of her grave.
Even though Sister Hong had decided to give up everything before she died and live for herself, she didn't want to hurt Shen Yinbing. She was the only family she had in this world.
Sister Hong and Shen Yinbing's ex-boyfriend had a relationship that couldn't be told to others. Even though Gao Fei and Shen Yinbing had only hired a couple at the time, it was undoubtedly a despicable act to poach a woman.
Everyone knew about this, but no one would say it out loud. Therefore, when Shen Yinbing was around, Gao Fei couldn't kneel down and could only watch from the side.
Shen Yinbing could kneel, but she had to.
There was no blood relationship between her and the young woman who had been sleeping here for a long time. In fact, there was no stepmother and daughter (Su Beishan and Yan Hong were not real husband and wife).
However, when she was alive, she had made up for it with the love that Shen Ruoxuan owed Shen Yinbing. She was no weaker than any of the mothers who cared for their daughters.
Therefore, Shen Yinbing could kneel, even if Yan Hong had done something to let her down.
Now that Yan Hong was dead, no matter what she had done to Shen Yinbing, she would write it off, leaving behind the care and help she had given to Shen Yinbing's mother.
This morning, Moxie Zhengdong left without a word.
The matter of her coming to Lingnan had already been completed, and there was no longer any excuse or meaning to stay behind. As for the matter with Gao Fei, it was obviously not a good time to settle it now.
Gao Fei didn't feel anything was wrong with Moxie Zhengdong leaving without saying goodbye. He just gave B.Rabbit a huge sum of money to buy the tombstone with Yan Hong and Shangguan Fengling's tombstones written on it before ten in the morning.
Rabbit was efficient enough to get the tombstone to the edge of the rainforest before ten o'clock.
Gao Fei refused Ye Xinshang's help. Carrying the tombstone by himself, together with Shen Yinbing, they followed the route Moxie Zhengdong told them and found the sealed cave.
The bodies of the assassins that were killed by Shangguan Fengling before they died were dragged away by the wild beasts in one night. The blood stains on the fallen leaves had long been washed clean by the rain, but there seemed to still be a faint smell of blood in the air, reminding Gao Fei and the other that there was a massacre here not long ago.
Thin drizzle, wet Shen Yinbing's hair and clothes.
Rain dripped from her jade-white cheeks, like dried tears.
The rainforest was speechless. There was no wind, but it seemed to be filled with a faint whimper.
After who knows how long had passed, Shen Yinbing finally moved. With a cold tone, she said, "Tell me, will Sister Hong feel scared and lonely when she stays in this unfamiliar rainforest forever?"
Gao Fei took a long drag on his cigarette but didn't say anything because he didn't know how to answer.
Could it be that Sister Hong wouldn't be afraid, because a dead person doesn't know how to be afraid, let alone be lonely, not to mention Shangguan Fengling accompanying her.
Or perhaps, Sister Hong will be afraid.
As if knowing that Gao Fei wouldn't answer her, Shen Yinbing didn't ask anymore. She only sighed lightly and stood up.
Because she knelt for too long, the blood in her lower limbs flowed badly. Just as she stood up, her knees went soft and she was about to fall. Gao Fei caught her in time and held her up.
Shen Yinbing pushed his hand away and raised her head to look at the cave. She staggered for a bit and finally regained her balance. She said lightly: "Gao Fei, can I ask you a favor?"
Gao Fei answered, "I'm listening."
Shen Yinbing narrowed her eyes and said in a low voice, "After I die, can you also bury me here? Sister Hong dotes on me like that before she died, so she will definitely continue to take care of me after she dies. "
Gao Fei pursed his lips and said slowly, "Moxie Zhengdong said that you can live for a long time, at least eighty years old."
"How long can a person live? It's not something that can be determined by their lifespan. Just like Sister Hong …"
Shen Yinbing suddenly laughed, her tone became lighter, and turned around to walk in the direction she came from. "If she didn't know you, she might have lived until her teeth fell off, and she might have died a long time ago. Because of your appearance, her life was in flux. At the same time, I have been influenced too much by you. If I didn't know you, I might have died a long time ago in the Southern Mountain's Blue Grass Garden. "
Gao Fei turned his head and looked at the cave, the Ephemeral Tree, and the tombstone. He then turned around and followed Shen Yinbing.
What he wanted to say was already in this glance.
He did not reply to Shen Yinbing, and Shen Yinbing also did not say anything else. Just like that, the two of them, one in front and one behind, followed the route which Yan Hong had taken when she fled while carrying the Anggui King.
After they meandered for a few hundred meters, a voice suddenly came from the forest behind them: "Gao Fei."
The voice was long and hollow, seeming to come from beyond the clouds of the nine heavens, yet also seeming to come from the Fengdu Capital, and it was obviously unreal.
Gao Fei suddenly turned around and looked. The rain was still falling behind him, the banana leaves were still swaying in the breeze. From here, he could see the cave several hundred meters away, but he couldn't see anything moving.
Shen Yinbing also heard his voice and turned to look in that direction.
The two of them silently watched. After a full five minutes, Shen Yinbing whispered, "Just now, someone was calling your name."
Gao Fei's eyes twitched a few times and nodded: "Yeah, I heard it too."
Shen Yinbing then said, "That voice, it really sounds like Sister Hong's voice."
Gao Fei nodded again: "I think so too."
Shen Yinbing said for the third time, "But she's already dead. Why would she call your name?"
"Maybe she's not dead, but we can't see her."
Gao Fei turned around and said with a dull expression, "Let's go."
"Oh."
Shen Yinbing obediently complied, extending her right hand.
Gao Fei held her hand, and the two of them continued to walk outside.
"Gao Fei."
After the two of them walked for a few hundred meters, a voice that sounded like Yan Hong's came from behind them.
Both of them halted for a moment, but they did not stop as they continued onward.
"Gao Fei."
That voice sounded for the third time, just above Gao Fei and Gao Fei.
The two of them raised their heads and saw a red-feathered bird flying over the sky at a lightning speed before disappearing into the distance.
On the way here, B.Rabbit saw that the atmosphere was a bit heavy. He once told a local legend about the Undead.
Legend has it that deep in the mountains and forests of Lingnan, there is a kind of bird. It's entire body is red, and it's not much bigger than a sparrow.
Legend has it that the Hellbird is a transformation of the human soul. After a person steps into the Fengdu City after his death, he will fly back from the Viewing Platform to the human world, and after seeing the person he could not let go of, he will call out that person's name three times and then fly away, never to see him again.
Legend has it that the Infernal Bird had existed in the Great Swamp of the Lingnan since the Desolate Era. The natives who lived here for generations had all seen this bird before, but no one had ever caught it before. They didn't know where the bird was born or where the corpse had gone to after death.
Legend has it that the Hell Bird would only fly back from hell to hell after a person had died and set foot in the Fengdu City, hoping for the undead's love for the living. Therefore, people call this bird the Lovesick Bird.
Lovesick, bird of hell.
After watching the bird disappear into the distance, Shen Yinbing calmly said, "I will still remember you after she died."
Gao Fei looked down at the road beneath his feet and replied, "I owe her."
"You owe a lot of people."
Shen Yinbing lifted her leg and walked forward, speaking without hurry or delay: "For example, Mu Tianya, Liang Jiaojiao, Anggui King -- but the only thing is, you don't owe me. So when I die, my soul won't turn into a Hellbird and fly back to call you by name. "
"The legend of the Infernal Bird was told by the rabbit. Maybe there is no such bird here."
Gao Fei held Shen Yinbing's hand tightly and quickened his pace.
When it was dark, the two of them walked out of the rainforest.
As soon as she saw the tall buildings, Shen Yinbing broke away from Gao Fei's hand.
The road in front of him was not easy to walk on. A half meter tall stone was laid across the road.
Gao Fei stretched out his hand again.
Shen Yinbing shook her head and refused, "I don't want to keep getting your help. I don't want to owe you too much. "Because, in the future, we might be enemies. One day, you will kill me with your own hands."
Gao Fei frowned: "We might not be enemies. As long as you throw away your unneeded ambitions, we are allowed to be friends."
"We're not going to be friends. Never."
Shen Yinbing said lightly, "I can only be an enemy, or perhaps a lover. There is no other choice — I am an Asura. I am destined never to be anyone's lover, so I can only be anyone's enemy."
If not for Lou Lan's experience underground, Gao Fei would never have believed in Shura. However, he had to believe it now because Moxie Zhengdong was an Shura.
After the death of the Shura, the corpse would not rot for ten thousand years.
Gao Fei sighed and said, "Shura will have friends too."
"I didn't. After Sister Hong died, I didn't even have family anymore. But after she died, she still hung you on her neck."
As Shen Yinbing finished her sentence, she lifted her foot and stepped onto the stone herself.
The stone was covered in moss and extremely slippery. Shen Yinbing slipped and fell forward. Gao Fei held her in time when he saw that her chin was about to hit the stone.
Shen Yinbing silently pushed his hand away and stood up on the stone once more.
When she stepped off the rock, she suddenly turned around to look at Gao Fei and smiled.
His smile was very bright and his tone was very gentle, but there was a hint of coldness in his voice: "Gao Fei, I owe you again. I will remember everything I owe you." But I swear, I will never owe you again. From the moment we stepped off this rock, we were enemies. You can kill me now, or else there'll be endless trouble in the future. "
Gao Fei's gaze turned cold as he said with a deep tone, "Shen Yinbing, can you be normal?"
Shen Yinbing retorted, "Gao Fei, can you not marry Wang Chen, and instead marry me?"
Gao Fei was tongue-tied, "Wang Chen and I..."
"Don't say anymore, I understand."
Shen Yinbing jumped off the rock, bent her knees, and stood up again. When she stood up again, she bumped into a small tree beside her. Raindrops fell off the tree and shattered on the ground.
Without looking at them, she quickened her pace and went around the tall buildings.
