The Dark King

Chapter 36 "A Flowering Tree"

"What kind of world is outside the giant wall?" The girl looked at Du Dean curiously and said, "Is there a boundless sea and a boundless forest that the bard said?"

Du Di'an turned back to the pavilion, found a chair to sit down, shrugged: "I just appointed a scavenger, and I haven't been outside the giant wall yet, but there must be some sea and forest."

"How do you know?" Jenny also followed him to the pavilion, sitting in a chair opposite the white lacquered round table, wondering: "Don't you say you haven't been outside the giant wall?"

Hearing her words, Du Dean suddenly thought of the earth, the blue seas and forests he had seen, and many beautiful scenery, and all these things would never return after the global nuclear explosion. He was sad in his heart and muttered: "I've seen it, of course I know."

"Have you seen it?" Jenny surprised. "Where did you see it?"

Du Di'an recovered, knowing that he was leaking, and even said: "I saw it in the poetry of the minstrel, but I believe that those must exist, otherwise, where did the minstrel know about it? Maybe it's fantasy?"

"Do you think so?" Jenny was a little surprised and said, "That's how I feel, but my father always said that those are made up by bards. They don't exist in reality. Even if there are, they will never be there. Outside the giant wall, he also said that it is very dangerous outside the giant wall, is that true?"

Du Di'an thought, most likely your father was afraid that your curiosity was too high, and secretly ran to the giant wall to look at the outside scene and said, "The danger does exist."

"Really dangerous?" Jenny was disappointed in her eyes.

Du Dian saw her gloomy eyes, and suddenly felt that she had chopped off a good hope with her own hands, and she couldn't bear it. "But, although there is danger, it does not mean that there is no sea and forest. I believe that one day, The danger outside the giant wall will disappear, we can go out and see the mountains and the sea, and go wherever we want."

Jenny's face suddenly glowed, saying: "Really?"

"Really!" Du Dean said seriously.

A happy smile appeared on Jenny’s face, saying: “I think so too, I told my father before, but he always let me dispel such thoughts, and said that the outside of the giant wall is an unknown place, except for like you No one except special personnel is allowed to step in."

Du Dian smiled slightly and said nothing.

"I really want to go outside to see the giant wall!" Jenny's face was full of longing. Suddenly, she thought of something and looked at Du Dean sideways, saying: "Since the giant wall is so dangerous outside, why do you want to be a scavenger? Outside the wall?"

Du Di'an thought, this has to ask you nobles.However, looking at her young age, it is clear that she has not been involved in these noble politics, and she said: "There is no reason, maybe you are the same as you. I want to go outside to see the giant wall."

Jenny looked at him with a trace of admiration on her face, saying: "You are so powerful, obviously we are as big as you are, but you are much braver than me."

Du Dian smiled, "Because I am a boy."

Hearing this, Jenny couldn't help but flush her face and secretly looked up at Du Dean, seeing that he hadn't noticed his shameful appearance, his heart was slightly relieved, but his heart beat slightly, and I thought, how can I be with a The boy garden was alone, and if he was known by his father, he had to teach me.

Thinking of this, she immediately prepared to raise her skirt and get up to say goodbye to Du Dean.

Du Dian saw that she hadn’t spoken for a long time, and thought she was wrong, saying: “Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean to discriminate against women. Among our scavengers, there are also many girls. However, I think you should still listen to your father. , The outside of the giant wall is really dangerous. When it is cleaned out later, I will be able to see the world outside sooner or later, and I believe that day will not be too late!"

With a touch of moonlight, Jenny looked at the boy with a serious and confident look on her face and couldn't help but startled, subconsciously said: "Really?"

"Hmm!" Du Dien nodded affirmatively.

When Jenny heard his determined words, she seemed to be infected, and said forcefully: "I believe you!"

Du Dian smiled slightly and said, "I also believe in myself."

Jenny chuckled, and the previous idea of ​​getting up and leaving was gone, and she said after the smile: "Do you know, my dream is to become a "priest"", although the priest cannot go outside the giant wall, but at least Judging all the bad guys in the giant wall, I believe that when there are no bad guys in the world, everyone will work together to quickly remove the danger outside the giant wall."

Du Dian smiled and said: "Are you studying the law?"

"Of course." Jenny grinned grinously, showing a smug expression.

Du Di'an laughed: "I just learned the law."

Jenny said in surprise: "Have you ever learned the law?"

"Self-learning," Du Dean added.

"Do you want to be a priest?"

"Well, and the goal is as great as you!"

"Great? Giggle... That's right, our goals are great!"

"how old are you?"

"It's just eleven."

"I'm almost twelve."

As the night grew deeper, in the manor and in the flower pavilion, the two talked more and more engaged, unaware of the time passing by, as if there were words that could not be said, from hobbies to their respective ages, and their views on things, they all have something in common, as if Found a confidant.

"One has no ears, the other has no tail, giggling..." Jenny smiled and bent over her stomach, completely forgetting to pay attention to the image of the nobility, saying: "What a strange song, such a strange tone, so funny, giggling ..."

Du Di'an shouted: "Children's song."

Jenny grinned again, thinking that there is such a weird children's song, and you must not scare the child, but the strange lyrics and simple tones seem to have no explanation other than the children's song.

Du Di'an just wanted to say a few more children's songs. Suddenly he felt his wrist bitten by a mosquito and slapped his backhand. Then he woke up and looked back at the direction of the banquet hall.

Seeing his actions, Jenny reacted and secretly shouted. She hurriedly lifted her skirt and stood up, and said to Du Dean: "I'm going back, otherwise my father won't find me and will be very angry."

Du Di'an was also just about to go back and said, "Then go first, I'll go back in a moment, lest you walk together and be seen."

Hearing this, Jenny couldn’t help but turn around and ran out of the pavilion, suddenly thinking of something, and turned back: "You just said, you have heard a lot of beautiful poetry, I also like poetry, you can give me one First?"

Du Di'an was stunned, without the pavilion, the moonlight just fell on the girl's cheek, as unreal as an elf, his heart pounded, and he subconsciously said: "No problem." As soon as he finished, he reacted. I suddenly regretted that all I heard was Tang poetry, which is an oriental classical poetry, which is completely different from the poetry genre of this world.

Suddenly, he thought of the modern poem that his sister often read.

How to make you meet me

At my most beautiful moment, for this

I have been asking God for 500 years

Begging it to make us get together

God turned me into a tree

Grow by the road you must pass by

...

Du Di'an remembers that this poem is called "A Flowering Tree", and the "Buddha" in the poem was changed to "God" by him. After all, the belief in this world is the light of the Holy See and the Father, and there is no Buddhism.

Hearing Du Dean's verses chanting softly, Jenny suddenly froze, and it took a while before she reacted, her face suddenly flushed, and she turned and fled down the path, disappearing into the darkness.
