Chapter 17: Shocking Changes (9)
"Xiaoxiao, we're here to pick you up!" Passing by the front door of the palace, I suddenly heard someone calling my name outside the door, and when I looked back, it was actually the old couple!"Mother!" I was surprised and delighted, and suddenly threw myself into the old lady's arms. "Girl, you've been wronged. The old lady rubbed my face gently, still so kind.
"Mother, aren't you..."After the surprise, I suddenly felt strange, didn't I say that the whole family had already been buried in the fire?" "Hey, how could your father and I die so easily? I got the news a long time ago, so I led everyone in the villa down the mountain overnight. The old man stroked his beard and laughed.
"Really?!" I grabbed his hand excitedly and shook it. "Is this still false?" the old man looked at me confidently, pointed to the door, and said, "Go and see, aren't they all alive?"
I stumbled to the door, and a group of people hula came around me, and my sister and sister kept screaming. I looked at the smiling faces in front of me, there were Yuan Zhao, Xiao Shi, Chunyu, Qiuyue, and the brothers. That's right, there was no one missing, and they all had happy expressions, crying and laughing when they saw me standing there.
"Okay, okay, since we have received Xiaoxiao, let's go back to the mountain!" the old man came behind me at some point and patted me on the shoulder. "Go homeβ" shouted everyone, and they all turned and ran forward. I can finally go home, I was just about to pull my legs, and suddenly remembered Zhize, I should tell him, he didn't know the good news yet.
"Mother, I have to... Mother!" I turned around and was about to explain the situation to the old lady, when I suddenly found that the old couple who had been standing behind me had disappeared out of thin air. I hurried back, and the streets were empty, as if no one had ever come. Where have all those people gone? I was looking blankly down the street, and suddenly I felt my body stumble, and an abyss appeared out of thin air under my feet!
I was startled, and when I opened my eyes, I found that I was still lying on the bed, it turned out that it was a dream just now, and the horrible scene just now still made my heart palpitate, and my heart was still pounding. I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and sat up. Outside the window, it was pitch black, and occasionally there were a few crows screaming. Under the dim candlestick, Yuan Zhize was holding the official document in his hand, thoughtful.
"Hey, Xiaoxiao, why did you get up?" Hearing the sound of me getting out of bed, Yuan Zhize suddenly woke up from his contemplation just now, and hurriedly stepped forward to help me. "I heard you muttering something just now, I thought you were dreaming. Yuan Zhize helped me to the table and sat down, and asked tentatively.
"It's just a dream, but if only I never woke up in the dream..."After waking up from the dream, my heart was full of loss, and I even regretted why I woke up so early. "Did you dream of your relatives?" Yuan Zhize asked cautiously as he picked up the teapot and filled the cup in front of me.
I nodded abruptly, my tears seemed to have dried up, and my eyes, which had been red and swollen at the moment, seemed to be filled with sand, which was very uncomfortable. Yuan Zhize sighed, slowly hugged me into his arms and comforted me: "Xiaoxiao, the pain in your heart now must be incomparable to anyone, but you have to be strong and live well, for the sake of those relatives who died early." β
I suddenly felt a little ridiculous, these people are my relatives, we are originally people who have nothing to do with each other, but why do I care so much about them? I suddenly felt the need to tell Zhi Ze the truth of the matter, if I continue to hide it, my conscience will be disturbed. Having made up my mind, I rubbed my swollen eyes and said to Yuan Zhize with a cheerful face: "Zhize, do you know? Actually, I've only known them for a little more than a month..."
"Oh?" Yuan Zhize didn't seem surprised by my words: "What you said was that I lost my memory by mistake, right?" I shook my head: "Actually, that person is not me, I live in a thousand years later, somehow, my soul will come to this body in this time and space." Moreover, in our time, it was Cao Cao's father and son who destroyed the Later Han, and the Dacheng established by Yuan Shu was soon destroyed by all the princes..."
Suddenly realizing that what he was saying was a big rebellion, he glanced at Yuan Zhize worriedly, and found that he was not angry, but still stared at me with a smile on his face.
"I know what I'm saying right now sounds like crazy talk, but I swear I'm telling the truth, and for me, you're living in a time like a fantasy... Zhize, you understand what I mean, right?"
I looked eagerly at the person in front of me, hoping that he would understand what I meant. Yuan Zhize hugged me in his arms with a smile and said, "To be honest, I didn't understand a word of what you said. "I was dizzy, it turned out that he didn't understand what I had just said. But think about it, how could the ancients thousands of years ago understand what it means to travel through?
