事情發生的過於突然了。
“砰——”一聲脆響，繪著青花的瓷盞摔落在地，打了兩個滾，碎成若干小片。與此同時那只被時光打磨的通體發亮的黃銅鈴鐺也從高空墜落下來，尤驚慌失措般叮噹響了兩聲，最後歪在了碎片邊。
“少爺……少爺少爺……來人啊！少爺被蛇咬了！……”
尖銳嗓音劃破了這個剛剛開春，難得陽光明媚的午後。原本靜謐平和的山中小院裡紛杳響起了匆匆忙忙的腳步聲，踢踢踏踏，甚至能聽到腳步慌亂中打翻東西的聲響。
沈清軒瞪大眼望向前方，努力想看清咬他那畜生的模樣，只是眼前一片模糊，仿佛眼膜被覆上了一層薄薄的白紗，任他如何努力都看不真切，心中不由得驚駭這蛇毒的厲害，卻又暗暗地想，人算不如天算，他想過自己無數種死法，怎能料到最後會終結在蛇類的毒牙上。
思念到此，心中倒也不驚，只閉上了眼，隱約知曉趕來的僕從們將自己從椅上移開，慌張失措地叫大夫，又呼喊著取些解毒的丸藥來。
而後的事，就一概不知了。
沈家大少爺在山莊被蛇咬了一口。
這消息像是被山林中的鳥兒扇著翅膀傳出去的，約莫盞茶功夫，原本祥和靜謐的山道上就傳來了數道馬蹄聲。
車馬和軟紗小轎依次而來，步履匆匆，最後停在山莊門口。馬上騎手和轎中貴人匆匆下地，進門不待任何人招呼，闖進了沈清軒的房裡。
青紗帳中躺著的男子雙目緊閉，印堂處泛著不詳的黑紫色，那濃重的黑紫甚至逐漸擴散到他整個面容，原本淺色唇瓣卻在黑紫的臉上紅豔的詭異，清雋的外表蕩然無存，一打眼看去，竟三分像人，七分似鬼了。
“小軒！”雙鬢略染風霜的長者見狀低呼一聲，聲音哀戚，悲傷至極，“我兒！”猶有話說，卻只剩哽咽。
“老爺。”站在一旁的管家連忙出聲打斷了主子的傷懷，提醒道：“老爺此時切勿感傷，先想法子救少爺的性命才是正事。”
“是是。”憐子之情衝擊之下，經提醒才醒悟過來的沈老爺連忙起身，一手掩目，猶帶哽咽的問身邊的僕從：“你們可給他解毒了？”
“山上常有蛇蟲鼠蟻，是以常備的藥物都有，專解蛇毒的丸藥剛剛也給少爺喂服，只是……效果不甚明顯。”
“那是什麼蛇，可看清了？”管家急急問。
“它盤在院中那藤架上又被枝幹擋住，只匆匆掃了一眼，小人看不真切，碗口粗大的一截……”那人一邊說一邊比劃，剛剛說完，腦門便狠狠挨了一巴掌，管家怒道：“刁嘴小廝，滿口胡言！”也不理他哭訴，只對沈老爺解釋：“老爺，路某幼時也長居山林，從未聽說有蛇可長至如此粗大。除非蟒蛇，可蟒雖粗大，卻不會輕易咬人，毒性更不會如此猛烈。這小廝必是胡言亂語，他描述的可怖些，只想著能少受些責罰。”
沈老爺心煩意亂，當下也顧不上這些，只怒斥一聲讓這僕從滾蛋。
“咬在哪裡的？”管家又問立在門欄處瑟瑟發抖的丫鬟，那是沈清軒的貼身侍女。
“手腕上，”侍女臉色煞白，急急道：“今日陽光好，少爺想曬太陽，我推他到院中。像往日一樣，少爺要喝一壺花茶，我給少爺沏完茶準備去端些茶點來，剛轉身走了幾步，就聽見茶碗掉地的聲音，回過身來，少爺就已經叫蛇咬了……”說到此處，侍女已紅了眼眶，泫然欲泣。
“你瞧見那蛇了？”
“瞧見了。那人並未撒謊，那蛇真真是碗口粗大，盤踞在欄杆上，我瞧見時它正好收回身，我看見烏泱泱一條，唯獨腹部有些金色，我在山上這些年伺候少爺，也見過些被打死的蛇，卻從未見過那麼大的蛇……”
“果真那麼大？”管家猶半信半疑。
雙膝一軟，女孩跪倒在地，哭著起誓：“這麼大的事，奴婢豈敢撒謊，若有一絲謊話，叫奴婢不得好死罷！”
這邊管家對著證詞，那邊沈老爺拉出長子手腕，見那上面被蛇牙咬出的傷口已被刀刃劃出十字形，心中略松了一下，曉得是有伶俐的僕從及時劃開口子給吸了毒血。只是這蛇毒來勢洶洶，短短功夫就讓一個成年人神智盡失。只怕這毒已進了肺腑，委實難清。
沈老爺攥著那細瘦手腕，心中一片淒然。都說長子是家中樑柱，可他三十方才得子，卻讓沈清軒在八歲那年墜入冰窟，搶救回來高燒一場，從此啞掉不說，更是下肢被凍壞，從此只能癱在榻上。原以為好好將養著，不求他去賺些功名利祿，憑他沈家鉅資，只供養長子平安一生也就足夠完滿，卻不料二十七歲，又叫蛇咬一口。
“孽畜！”低呼一聲，沈老爺將那蛇抓來生啖其肉的心都有。
“老爺莫急。”老管家再次勸慰：“少爺身體一向虛弱，常年養在山莊，是以各方珍奇藥材也還算齊備，說不定還有法子。”
“有什麼法子？”
“老爺還記得前年中秋，與沈家商貿往來的南蠻之地有人貢來兩顆自稱可解天下奇毒的藥丸那回事？”
“記得記得，那藥我收了……果然有用嗎？”
“老身也不知曉，只是聽說南蠻濕地，毒蟲野獸甚多，這藥丸或許真有奇效也說不定呢？”
“那還不取來？”沈老爺連忙起身。
“是。”
藥物很快取來，化在溫水裡喂下，喂藥時沈清軒牙關緊閉，臉頰肌肉僵硬，眼見著氣若遊絲，隨時殞命。
滿屋人心惶惶，空氣凝重。
夜幕低垂，僕人們點亮燭臺。光影搖晃。
沈清軒的房門時而開啟時而緊閉，人出出進進穿梭其中。卻未有一人發覺，在油燈晃動的陰影處，靜靜立著一人。
黑髮披散垂在腰間，其人也是一襲黑袍，負手而立，衣襟處金線繡出古樸花紋，神情冷冽，抿唇立在那裡也不知多久。
無一人發覺，甚至自他旁擦身而過也不曾朝他看過一眼，若有人看過，都決計不會對這個仿若煞神在世的男人視若無睹。
可確實，無一人知曉他的存在。
夜深了，沈老爺身心俱疲，時當二月末，雖已開春，夜裡仍舊春寒料峭，低低咳嗽幾聲，感到腦中隱隱作痛。他想陪在兒子身邊，年歲殘酷的桎梏了他的舐犢情深。在管家的勸慰下，儘管不舍，還是去了炭火燒得暖暖的廂房。
沈清軒房中只剩下管家和三名僕人依舊在守護著。
又過了兩個時辰，氣息一直微弱的沈清軒漸漸有了平穩有力的呼吸聲。陰影處一動不動站立的男人微微抬眼，眼中稍露訝異，並不相信這世間果有靈藥，能解他的毒。
果然，他凝神細看了一會床榻上瘦削虛弱的男子，明白過來，這是迴光返照了。
那些解毒藥劑，至多也就拖延幾線光陰。解毒？純粹妄想。
沈清軒努力動了動眼皮，眼簾像是有千斤重，怎麼也睜不開。
守在一邊的丫鬟卻發覺了，驚喜地喊起來：“少爺，少爺！”
聲音有著莽撞的喜悅，驚醒了剛剛入睡的小院和山林。
很快沈老爺披著斗篷鞋襪都來不及套上，趔趄著奔了過來，一路喊道：“軒兒，軒兒……軒兒你醒了麼？爹可著急壞了…”
許是親人呼喚給了沈清軒力氣，一直顫動不已的眼皮努力掙了掙，竟睜開了。眼神渙散著，半晌才逐漸凝聚，眼底有了些神采。
沈清軒微微開口，卻發不出任何聲音。
可所有人都知道，他說的是：爹。
“噯，爹在。”頓時老淚縱橫，沈老爺也顧不得拿了多少年長輩的架勢，哆嗦著抓著兒子的手，喃喃：“清軒啊，好些了嗎？你好些爹就放心了……”
沈清軒用盡力氣，方才勉強讓僵硬的面部拉扯出一道笑容來。心中卻莫名知曉，他這一回是躲不過了。全身都陷在一種麻痹感裡，無法動彈，呼吸時口鼻腔裡彌漫著一股腥甜的味道，眼前更是一陣烏黑和間隙的清明。
人將死的感覺，大約就是這樣了吧。
其實也沒有什麼可怕的，對他這樣一個廢人來說，死亡其實不如活著可怕。
唯獨舍不下父母，和年幼的弟弟。
親人，是這些年支撐著他的唯一支柱。每想到自己離世後高堂悲戚的慘狀，都會於心不忍。
他想像自己的死亡，倒也不是因為自暴自棄，這麼多年在輪椅上不能自理的生活其實業已習慣，埋葬兒時揚鞭縱馬的理想也不是一件多麼艱難的事。
而是自己的身體，一年不如一年。
原先還能時常曬曬太陽，叫人推著，去山林間散步。
近兩年卻越發不行了。稍稍吹風，就要病上一場，並且每次都比前一次嚴重，後來則發展至一兩個月下不了一次床。
這個冬天他沒有出過門，連窗戶也甚少打開過。
難得病癒，要曬一曬太陽，卻驚動了一條剛剛結束冬眠，同樣出來曬太陽的蛇。
想到此沈清軒不禁莞爾，心道這個太陽曬的，看來無論是他自己還是那條蛇都不舒坦。
他心中清楚，那蛇原本盤踞在欄杆上曬太陽，他坐在椅上，一人一蛇井水不犯河水。
本可相安無事，曬完太陽各自回屋。
可偏偏明澈茶水裡不知怎麼落下一片蘸著泥土的碎葉，他生性喜潔，當下想也不想的將碗中熱茶潑出去。
當時並未看見那蛇。待察覺不妥時，茶水已經潑灑而出，熱氣騰騰淋了那黑亮鱗甲一身。
來不及收回的手，就叫乍驚之下的蛇掉頭咬了一口。
其實還是他自己的錯更大些。那麼熱的水，莫說是蛇，就是只兔子，也會反擊。
那可真是一條很威武的蛇。雖然只來得及看了一眼，就叫劇痛引開視線。可沈清軒還記得那蛇通體黑亮，盤踞著直立起頭部時，威風凜凜。它的頸腹金黃，在午後的陽光下格外耀眼。後來還想細看，卻看不清了。也不知道那蛇被燙傷沒有。
據說這種無足動物渾身佈滿細小鱗甲，想來不容易被一盞熱茶傷到才是。
眼前又是一陣極眩而來的烏黑，耳畔父親的說話聲都在漸行漸遠，沈清軒還想努力聽聽他在說些什麼，只能聽到耳蝸處的陣陣轟鳴。一切淩亂破碎的句子自轟鳴中傳來，無法抵達神智，他怎麼也聽不清。
心知大限已到，心中也說不清是難過多一點，還是釋懷多一些。他一直明白自己是將死之人，只是這一幕的到來依然猝不及防。
心中的掛念讓他還想最後看一眼這伴他二十多年的人世間。儘管連呼吸都無有力氣，沈清軒還是努力地睜大眼，眼中散掉的神采也被他執拗地聚攏起來，望著自己的親人。久久凝視。
保養得當此刻卻盡顯老態的父親、終身為沈家奔波忙碌的老管家、早已軟成一團嚎啕大哭侍女、還有那些熟悉的，這些年盡心盡力照顧他的每一個人……視線緩緩的僵化著般從每一個人臉上掠過，沈清軒緩緩彎起唇角，露出一道淺淺的笑容。仿若告別。
他的笑容極淺，在他此刻三分人七分鬼的面龐上甚至猙獰無狀。
卻刻畫著深深的，對生的眷念以及不舍。
那麼絕望的眷念，卻又帶著對死亡的釋然。
許是這道笑容過於觸目驚心。陰影中將這場戲從頭看到尾的冷凝男子挑起眼皮，幽黑如深淵之水的眸子有了水花驚濺的波紋。
————————————————
It happened too suddenly.
With a crisp “bang", the blue-and-white porcelain cup fell to the ground , rolled twice, and broke into several small pieces. At the same time, the shiny brass bell polished by time also fell from the sky, jingling twice as if in panic, and finally leaned on the side of the fragments.
“Master…Master, Master …Someone come! The Master was bitten by a snake!…"
A sharp voice cut through the rare sunny afternoon in the early spring. The originally quiet and peaceful mountain courtyard was filled with hurried footsteps, tapping and stomping , and even the sound of things being knocked over in the panic.
Shen Qingxuan stared forward with eyes wide open, trying hard to see clearly the beast that was biting him, but everything in front of him was blurry, as if his eye membrane was covered with a thin layer of white gauze. No matter how hard he tried, he could not see clearly. He could not help but be shocked at the power of the snake venom, but secretly thought that man proposes, God disposes. He had thought of countless ways of dying, but how could he have expected that he would end up at the fangs of a snake.
Thinking of this, he was not surprised. He just closed his eyes. He vaguely knew that the servants who came over had moved him away from the chair. They called the doctor in panic and shouted for some antidote pills.
what happened after that .
The eldest son of the Shen family was bitten by a snake at the villa.
The news seemed to have been spread by the flapping wings of birds in the mountains. Within a cup of tea , the sound of several horse hooves was heard on the originally peaceful and quiet mountain road.
The carriages and sedan chairs came one after another, hurriedly, and finally stopped at the gate of the villa. The riders on the horses and the nobles in the sedan chairs got off the ground in a hurry, entered the door without waiting for anyone to greet them, and broke into Shen Qingxuan’s room.
The man lying in the green gauze tent had his eyes closed, and his forehead was glowing an ominous dark purple color, which even gradually spread to his entire face. His originally light-colored lips looked strangely red on his dark purple face. His handsome appearance was gone, and at first glance, he looked three parts human and seven parts ghost.
“Xiaoxuan!" The elder with slightly frosted hair cried out in a low voice, his voice mournful and extremely sad, “My son!" He wanted to say more, but was choked with sobs.
“Master." The butler standing beside him interrupted his master’s sorrow and reminded him, “Master, please don’t be sad at this moment. The most important thing is to find a way to save the young master’s life."
“Yes, yes." Under the impact of his sympathy for his son, Master Shen, who had just come to his senses after being reminded, quickly stood up, covered his eyes with one hand, and asked the servants around him with a choked voice: “Did you detoxify him?"
“There are often snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains, so we have all the usual medicines. We also gave the young master a pill that specifically cures snake venom, but… the effect is not very obvious."
“What kind of snake is that? Can you see it clearly?" asked the housekeeper anxiously.
“It was coiled on the vine trellis in the yard and was blocked by branches. I only had a quick glance and couldn’t see it clearly. It was as thick as a bowl…" The man gestured as he spoke. As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped hard on the forehead. The housekeeper said angrily, “You picky boy, you are talking nonsense!" He ignored his crying and explained to Master Shen, “Master, Lu lived in the mountains when he was young, and I have never heard of a snake that can grow so big. Unless it is a python, but although a python is big, it will not bite people easily, and its venom is not so strong. This boy must be talking nonsense. He described it in a more horrible way, just thinking that he would be punished less."
Master Shen was upset and didn’t care about these things at the moment. He just shouted at the servant to get out.
“Where did you bite?" The housekeeper asked the maid who was shivering at the door railing. She was Shen Qingxuan’s personal maid.
“On the wrist," the maid’s face turned pale and she said hurriedly, “The sun is shining today and the young master wants to bask in the sun, so I pushed him to the yard. Like usual, the young master wanted to drink a pot of scented tea. I made tea for the young master and prepared to bring some snacks. I just turned around and took a few steps when I heard the sound of a tea bowl falling to the ground. When I turned around, the young master had been bitten by a snake…" At this point, the maid’s eyes were red and she was about to cry.
“Did you see the snake?"
“I saw it. The man didn’t lie. The snake was really as big as a bowl, coiled on the railing. When I saw it, it just retracted its body. I saw a huge black snake, but its belly was a little golden. I have served the young master in the mountains for many years, and I have seen some snakes that were killed, but I have never seen such a big snake…"
“Is it really that big?" The butler was still skeptical.
Her knees softened, and the girl fell to the ground, crying and swearing: “How dare I lie about such a serious matter? If I lie even a little, I will die miserably!"
While the butler was looking at the testimony, Mr. Shen pulled out his eldest son’s wrist and saw that the wound caused by the snake’s teeth had been cut into a cross shape by the blade. He felt a little relieved, knowing that a clever servant had cut the wound in time and sucked out the poisonous blood. However, the snake venom was so fierce that it made an adult lose his mind in a short time. I’m afraid that the poison has already entered the lungs and it is really difficult to clear.
Master Shen clutched the thin wrist, feeling sad. It is said that the eldest son is the pillar of the family, but he had a son when he was thirty, and Shen Qingxuan fell into an ice cave when he was eight years old. He had a high fever after being rescued, and he became mute and his lower limbs were frozen . He could only lie on the bed . He thought that he would take good care of him and not ask him to earn fame and fortune. With the huge wealth of the Shen family, it would be enough to support his eldest son to live a safe life. But unexpectedly, at the age of twenty-seven, he was bitten by a snake again.
“Evil beast!" With a low cry, Master Shen wanted to catch the snake and eat its flesh alive.
“Master, don’t worry." The old housekeeper tried to comfort him again: “The young master has always been in poor health and has been kept in the villa for many years, so we have all kinds of rare medicinal herbs. Maybe there is still a way."
“What can I do?"
“Master, do you still remember the incident during the Mid-Autumn Festival the year before last when someone from the southern barbarian land that had business dealings with the Shen family presented two pills that claimed to be able to cure the world’s most bizarre poisons?"
“Remember , remember , I took the medicine… Is it really useful?"
“I don’t know either, but I heard that there are many poisonous insects and wild beasts in the Nanman Wetlands. Who knows, maybe this pill really has a miraculous effect?"
“Why don’t you bring it here?" Mr. Shen stood up quickly.
“yes."
The medicine was quickly brought out, dissolved in warm water and fed to Shen Qingxuan. When he was fed the medicine, Shen Qingxuan’s teeth were clenched, his cheek muscles were stiff, and he looked like he was barely breathing and could die at any time.
The room was full of panic and the atmosphere was heavy.
As night fell, servants lit candlesticks. The light flickered.
The door of Shen Qingxuan’s room was sometimes opened and sometimes closed, and people came and went in and out. But no one noticed that there was a person standing quietly in the shadow of the swaying oil lamp.
His black hair fell to his waist, and he was also wearing a black robe. He stood with his hands behind his back. The lapels of his clothes were embroidered with ancient patterns in gold thread . He had a cold expression and stood there with his lips pursed for who knows how long.
No one noticed, and no one even looked at him as they passed by him. If anyone had seen him, they would definitely not ignore this man who seemed like a demon in the world.
But indeed, no one knew of his existence.
It was late at night, and Mr. Shen was exhausted physically and mentally. It was the end of February, and although it was already spring, the night was still chilly. He coughed softly a few times and felt a dull pain in his head. He wanted to be with his son, but the cruel shackles of age had shackled his deep love for his son. Under the persuasion of the housekeeper, although reluctant, he still went to the wing room warmed by the charcoal fire.
Only the housekeeper and three servants were left in Shen Qingxuan’s room, still guarding it.
Another two hours passed, and Shen Qingxuan, who had been breathing weakly, gradually began to breathe steadily and forcefully. The man standing motionless in the shadows raised his eyes slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he did not believe that there was a magic medicine in the world that could cure his poison.
Sure enough, he looked intently at the thin and weak man on the bed for a while and realized that this was a last burst of energy.
Those antidotes can only delay the death for a few seconds at best. Detoxification? Pure wishful thinking.
Shen Qingxuan tried hard to move his eyelids, but his eyelids felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds and he couldn’t open them.
The maidservant standing by noticed it and shouted in surprise: “Master, Master!"
The sound was filled with reckless joy, waking up the courtyard and forest that had just fallen asleep.
Soon, Master Shen, wearing a cloak and shoes and socks, ran over, staggering , shouting all the way: “Xuan’er, Xuan’er…Xuan’er, are you awake? Dad is so worried…"
Perhaps the call from his relatives gave Shen Qingxuan strength. His eyelids, which had been trembling all the time, struggled hard and opened. His eyes were scattered, but after a while they gradually focused and there was some spirit in them.
Shen Qingxuan opened his mouth slightly, but no sound came out.
But everyone knew that what he said was: Dad.
“Hey, Dad is here." Tears streamed down his cheeks. Mr. Shen no longer cared about the posture of an elder. He held his son’s hand tremblingly and murmured, “Qingxuan, are you feeling better? I’ll be relieved if you’re feeling better…"
Shen Qingxuan used all his strength to force a smile on his stiff face. But he knew in his heart that he could not escape this time. His whole body was paralyzed and he could not move. When he breathed, a sweet and fishy smell filled his mouth and nose. His eyes were dark and clear.
This is probably what it feels like to be dying.
In fact, there is nothing to be afraid of. For a useless person like him, death is not as scary as living.
The only things he couldn’t bear to leave behind were his parents and younger brother.
His family members were his only support over the years, and he couldn’t bear the thought of his parents being so sad after his death.
He imagined his own death, not because he gave up on himself. In fact, he had become accustomed to living in a wheelchair and unable to take care of himself for so many years. It was not a difficult thing to bury his childhood ideals of riding a horse.
But my own health is getting worse year by year.
In the past, I could often bask in the sun, have someone push me, and go for walks in the mountains and forests.
In the past two years, it has become worse. The slightest breeze would cause me to fall ill, and each time it was more serious than the last. Later, I was unable to get out of bed for one or two months.
He hadn’t left the house this winter and rarely even opened the window.
After recovering from an illness, he wanted to bask in the sun, but he disturbed a snake that had just ended its hibernation and also came out to bask in the sun.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingxuan couldn’t help but smile, thinking that it was because of the sun, it seemed that both he and the snake were uncomfortable.
He knew clearly that the snake was originally coiled on the railing to bask in the sun. He was sitting on a chair, and the man and the snake did not interfere with each other.
Everything could have been peaceful, and everyone could have gone back to their rooms after basking in the sun.
But somehow a piece of leaf with dirt on it fell into the clear tea. Being a clean person by nature, he poured out the hot tea in the bowl without thinking .
The snake was not seen at the time. By the time he realized something was wrong, the tea had already spilled, and the steaming hot water soaked the shiny black scales.
Before he could withdraw his hand, the startled snake turned around and bit him.
In fact, it was his own fault. Water that hot would have fought back even if it was a rabbit, not to mention a snake.
It was a really majestic snake. Although he only had time to take a quick look at it, he was distracted by the pain. But Shen Qingxuan still remembered that the snake was all black and shiny, and it looked majestic when it coiled up with its head erect. Its neck and abdomen were golden, and it was particularly dazzling in the afternoon sun. Later, he wanted to take a closer look, but he couldn’t see clearly. He didn’t know if the snake was burned.
It is said that this legless animal is covered with tiny scales, so it is unlikely to be hurt by a cup of hot tea.
There was another blinding blackness in front of him , and his father’s voice was fading away. Shen Qingxuan tried hard to hear what he was saying, but he could only hear the roar in his cochlea. All the messy and broken sentences came from the roar, unable to reach his mind, and he couldn’t hear clearly.
He knew that his end was near, and he couldn’t tell whether he felt more sad or relieved. He had always known that he was going to die, but he was still caught off guard by this scene.
The concern in his heart made him want to take one last look at the world that had been with him for more than 20 years. Although he had no strength to breathe, Shen Qingxuan still tried to open his eyes wide, and he stubbornly gathered the scattered spirit in his eyes and looked at his relatives. He stared for a long time.
His well-maintained but now aged father, the old housekeeper who had been busy for the Shen family all his life, the maid who had already collapsed into a ball and was crying loudly, and those familiar people who had taken care of him wholeheartedly over the years… His sight slowly froze as it passed through everyone’s face, and Shen Qingxuan slowly curved the corners of his lips, revealing a faint smile, as if saying goodbye.
His smile was extremely shallow, and even looked hideous on his face that was three parts human and seven parts ghost.
But it depicts the deep attachment to and reluctance to life.
Such desperate lingering, yet with relief from death.
Perhaps this smile was too shocking. The cold man who had watched the whole scene from beginning to end in the shadows raised his eyelids, and his eyes, as dark as the water in the abyss, had ripples of splashing water .
