Chapter 55: After the Rain, the Sky is Clear
I...... Dead? Could this be the legendary underworld?
Mu Shan felt immersed in an endless space, surrounded by a thick darkness that could not be dissolved, like a cold tide, roaring towards him from all directions. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Child, this is not where you belong, go forward, get out of here......"
In the darkness, Mu Shan heard layers of sounds, covering the dark waves that roared from the sky and the earth, with a bit of closeness and warmth from the depths of the blood, deeply into his heart.
"Are you ......" Mu Shan's body trembled slightly, as if there was a voice in his heart, breaking through the layers of barriers, and naturally shouted: "Mother......"
The secrets and grievances that had been buried deep in Mu Shan's heart, in the darkness that no one paid attention to, finally broke away from Mu Shan's heart, and cried loudly: "Mother, where are you?" Why don't you and Daddy want me? Who the hell am I? Am I ......"
Mu Shan was deeply suffocated, and then he mustered up the courage to ask the question in his heart that he would never want to face: "Am I the same as the snake demon, and I am also a monster?" ā
In the darkness, the woman's voice was lost, only the waves of darkness whistled one after another, making a sound like a hideous mockery of evil ghosts, as if mocking Mu Shan's pity and pathos.
Mu Shan clenched his fists, the green tendons on his face jumped up, and he roared hysterically: "Answer me ......"
In the darkness, a low sigh came from nowhere, with great tiredness and helplessness, and said softly: "You are you, unique you, don't care about anyone's eyes!" If you encounter something that can't be solved, go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons to find Zhenwu, he once owed your father a favor, within the Three Realms and Six Realms, there is nothing he can't do! ā
"Boom!" Around Mu Shan's body, countless pale flames ignited without warning, tearing apart the darkness surrounding Mu Shan, burning more and more fiercely, and there was a great tendency to burn the sky.
In the firelight, a bright light seemed to pierce the space, and slowly, little by little, shone in and sprinkled on Mu Shan's face.
Mu Shan slowly closed his eyes, only to feel that this light had an indescribable warmth and comfort, just like a mother's hand, gently swaying.
After a while, Mu Shan could no longer hear the roar of the dark wave and the beating sound of the fierce flames around him, and his eyes opened a gap slightly, looking at the blurred image of the outside world. As soon as he wanted to speak, he felt as if his throat was on fire, dry and uncomfortable, and it took him a long time to shout out a hoarse voice as thin as a mosquito: "Water ......"
"Coming, coming......"
Mu Shan couldn't see who was sitting next to him, but he felt very familiar when he heard the voice, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
"Hmm......" Mu Shan had never felt that the light water was so sweet and delicious as today, he drank all the water in the bowl in one go, licked his chapped lips unsatisfactorily, and slightly relieved the thirst in his throat, so that he had the heart to worry about his own situation.
Mu Shan carefully looked at the blurred figure that came into view, his face was like a heavy jujube, his eyes were like a phoenix, and his eyebrows were lying silkworms, faintly familiar: "Who are you?" You saved me? What happened to Xiuniang and Geely? ā
"Mu Shan, you don't recognize me!" As soon as the man spoke, a loud and majestic voice, with uncontrollable joy, came into Mu Shan's ears: "I am immortal!" You kid, I haven't seen you for three years, and you can't recognize me, what a beating! Haha, when you get your body up, I have to beat you up. You kid, you've been scared for so many days! ā
"Immortal ......" Mu Shanyi was excited, completely forgetting his injury, and just wanted to get up, he suddenly affected the wounds all over his body, only to feel that thousands of big hands were tearing on his body, and he grinned in pain.
"Lie down and don't move." Guan Yu held down Mu Shan, and said happily: "It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up!" Your injuries almost scared me to death at the beginning. If you go like this, I won't be able to find a son as old as you to accompany my aunt. ā
"Mother......" When Mu Shan thought of Qin Mei, he couldn't suppress the anxiety in his heart, and asked again and again: "Where is my mother?" ā
Mu Shan's vision began to clear, reflecting the carved beams above his head, and then feeling the comfortable quilt under him, it was not difficult to judge that this was not the small thatched hut of his family: "Where am I?" ā
"Guanjiazhuang!" Guan Yu showed a smile on his red face, and said slowly: "When I went back to the village, I went to your house first, and my aunt said that you went to the river to fight with the snake demon, so I rushed over non-stop, but I didn't expect it to be a step too late." ā
"That situation ...... at that time" Guan Yu couldn't help but gasp when he thought of the situation at that time, and said with palpitations: "Hey, if I am late for a moment and a half, I'm afraid that the three of you will die in the hands of that demon." When I saw your horrible appearance, I almost thought you were going to die. I wanted to find a good coffin to bury you, but thanks to Xiuniang's repeated belief that you are still alive, I didn't fill you in the tomb for a long time, otherwise my sin would have been great. ā
"Then my mother ......" Mu Shan thought of the scene when Qin Mei learned of his death, and suddenly felt extremely sad and ashamed, and asked in a low voice: "Does she think I ......?"
Guan Yu hesitated for a while, and said: "At that time, I carried the head of the snake demon to your house, and told my aunt that because you fought a big battle with the snake demon, although you won by luck, you almost went mad, and you need a quiet place where no one disturbs you for half a month to clear the qi in your body." My aunt didn't say anything at the time, maybe she really believed what I said, or maybe she didn't want to pierce that last glimmer of hope......"
Guan Yu remembered Qin Mei's expression of forbearance and grief at that time, and couldn't help but feel emotional, and then sighed, swept away the sad emotions, and said happily: "But the storm has finally passed, you can wake up, this is great news!" Otherwise, I really don't know how to face my aunt in the future! ā
"Changsheng...... I want to meet my mother!" Mu Shan pondered for a while, and the thick guilt and uneasiness in his heart welled up together, and he choked up: "Presumably during the time I was in a coma, she must have been very uncomfortable alone...... I, as a son, not only don't I usually honor her old man, but I always make her worry about me, I, I, what an unfilial son! ā
"Mu Shan, I understand your current mood, but let's bear with it first." Guan Yu comforted: "The way you look now, if you let your aunt see it, you will have to make her sad and cry again, it is better to recuperate for a few days, and when the injury is healed, she will return home alive and vigorous, and promise that her aunt will be happy to forget everything." ā
Mu Shan thought about it carefully, and also felt that this was the best way to deal with it, so he immediately changed the topic according to his restless heart: "What about Jili and Xiuniang?" Are they okay? ā
"Geely was a little injured and is now fine. Xiuniang was just a little frightened, and her body was weak, but she had an illness after coming back, and now she is fine. ā
Guan Yu said with a smile: "Among the three, you are the most seriously injured, so you can recuperate with peace of mind, don't think about it." In a few days, when your injury is healed, the three of us will have a good gathering of wine. Oh, by the way, during your coma, it seems that a little scholar named Guo Jia came to look for you. I forgot what it was, don't worry, he said he would come again, and you can tell him by yourself when the time comes. ā
