Thirty-ninth Raiders

Shen Yunchi · Fanwai

…

Those who have been walking alone in the dark have never imagined the appearance of light.

He'd been through countless passers-by in his life, and he'd never bothered to remember what they looked like, or how they acted, or anything.

Since he was a child, he was a proud son of heaven. At a very young age, he took over military power from his father and became the youngest and most powerful person in power in the six provinces. He was far away from the six provinces under his rule. During the war, opium imported from abroad was resisted, and a gun ban was signed to prohibit arms smuggling, and people's lives were basically safe.

He was born like a god, who is high above and strategizing, who can take the world into his hands, and protect or destroy in just one thought. However, he does not understand the most common emotions in the human world. The gods seem to lack a feeling that is common to the world. He does not know why people live, why they grieve when they die, why some people are so sad when they are separated from others, and why people fear death. Like fearing the devil.

The third master of the Shen family has been indifferent since he was a child. The old man took a fancy to the character of the child very early, and cultivated him as a successor. The teacher in the school taught everyone that living in troubled times should also value their own lives, and asked the students what good expectations they have in life. The answers of the other children were that they wanted to make merit and serve the country, or to be a doctor to save the dying, or to use the pen as a weapon to scourge the chaotic world, but this future ruler of the six provinces handed over only a few words on the paper.

do not know.

Very calm.

The old man showed him the military briefings at a very young age, involving strategies and tactics. Third Master Shen could answer even at a young age. He was calm and composed, and he was a natural leader. But when I happened to ask him, whether he prefers soft-hearted tolerance or thunderbolt means, the child did not give a definite answer, but was quiet for a while, his thin lips were slightly pulled, and his tone was a little boring:

"...nothing is more fun."

He didn't know what it meant to be born.

I don't even know what to feel sad about dying.

I don't know what is good in the world.

What is not good.

It's always been such a senseless attitude. Later, when he took power in the military, many people were afraid of him. His methods were bloody and violent. If he fell into his hands, life would be worse than death. His fluttering eyes were enough to frighten the enemy. It's so important, but it's more efficient, so I just did that and didn't think about anything else. The respect or fear and awe of others are just passing by, and there is nothing worth caring about for him.

His world has been dark.

Walk alone.

So that the first time I saw the light, I was stunned for a long time.

…

It turned out that wanting to live a good life to love someone is such a feeling. It turns out that getting along with someone will bring joy and sweetness, uncontrollable heartbeat and breathing, uncontrollable worries about gain and loss, and the word of death will make your heart shrink - it turns out that death is really such a terrifying thing.

On the train to Jiangnan that time, it was clear that it was a near-death to get on the train, but he did not hesitate, and he must go in person. She once asked him, Third Master, are you afraid of fighting?

He said at the time that everyone has a life or death, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

But when he set foot on that train to find her, the fear and heart palpitations were real, so he couldn't have the slightest indifference and calmness.

until he was seated.

across a narrow passage.

A thin gap.

…

A place that can be reached with just two steps forward.

…

The girl's small face is buried in the collar and her eyes are sleepy and closed, with two small braids hanging down in front of her, she looks petite and cute, soft, because her eyes are closed, her eyelashes are long and dense, and the headlights outside the window Light reflected on her white cheeks.

Lights were cast from the gaps in the carriage.

Cut space.

It was as if two worlds were torn apart.

Two shades.

Half is bright.

half dark.

The tall figure was silently placed in the darkness.

Looking at the light that is close at hand.

…

the light of his life.
