When I was eighteen years old, I fell off a cliff and survived.
The person who picked me up was a woman in scarlet clothes. She said I couldn't stop screaming.
I thought it was the name, but later I found out it was the lamp. As long as the lamp is not extinguished, people will not die.
She lived for 300,000 years and was imprisoned on a mountain by a lamp, unable to leave even half a step away. I was tied to a lamp slave blood contract by her own hands - if she lives, I have to live; if she dies, I can't even think of running away.
I used one year to pry off her 300,000-year-old shell.
She didn't learn to cry out in pain until she was 300,000 years old, and I became a bone for her when I was eighteen.
Later, she said that she would die with her spirit and soul, and use her life to fill the gap in Guixu. I said no, she said it was life.
I didn't argue anymore.
I stopped her in front of the lamp and lit my blood into the wick one by one.
When the seven lights came on, she rushed in. I laughed with my last breath:
"You've been guarding it for three hundred thousand years, it's time to rest."
Then a new lamp lit up on the barren mountain in the distance, the same color as hers.
She looked at it for a long time, suddenly smiled, and said to the lamp:
"The tea is ready. It's not bitter."
But she didn't know - the person in the wick was still counting each dawn for her with embers.
