Chapter 14: Tangled
The village here is not like the countryside in Le Xiaotou's memory, which is next to each other, a family is hundreds of meters away from a house, at a glance, the black and white houses are scattered on the flat land between the two mountains, the house is surrounded by green winter wheat, there is a one-car-wide lime road in the middle of the flatland, and there is a winding river on the left side of the road, which has formed ice at the moment, shining in the sun.

Le Xiaotou took out the map drawn by Mu Hong, walked down the lime road, and finally found Granny Jiang's house.
The house with black tiles and white walls has no walls, and there is a dirt clearing outside the main house, on which a few chickens are pecking and eating.
A wisp of green smoke rose from the roof, and Le Xiaotou and Yi Ji walked over the frozen river and knocked on the open door of the main house.
"Granny Jiang?" Le Xiaotou shouted softly.
A figure came out of the room, wearing a red printed cotton coat, wearing two white sleeves on the sleeves, gray hair neatly coiled up at the back of the head, in good spirits, she looked at the two of them, looked them up and down, "You are?" "Mandarin is even more standard than Jianping.
I suddenly remembered what Mu Hong said that Granny Jiang had taken care of her daughter-in-law and grandson in the city for five years, and she was not used to living in the city, so she insisted on returning to her hometown in the countryside, no wonder Mandarin is so good.
Le Xiaotou explained the intention, and Granny Jiang came to her senses, "It turns out that you are Xiaohong's friends, why are you so embarrassed." ā
Le Xiaotou touched her messy hair and looked at Granny Jiang's concerned eyes, "We accidentally fell off the cliff, but fortunately we got our lives back." ā
Granny Jiang hurriedly welcomed the two of them into the house, asked them to sit around the stove, handed water and hot towels, Le Xiaotou held the hot tea, thinking of what happened in the past few days, her nose was sour, and she didn't know whether she was moved or glad that she didn't die.
Granny Jiang was very enthusiastic, and after a while, she brought hot rice porridge and two dishes of home-cooked side dishes.
Seeing the hot food that had not been seen for a long time, Le Xiaotou suddenly felt that he had come to life, worried that Granny Jiang was confused, and Yi Zhi symbolically ate some, although the food in the mountains was much cleaner than that in the city, but Le Xiaotou still did not dare to take this risk, because the current grain seeds are polluted, no matter how clean the place is, no matter how little pesticides are used, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no problems.
So Yi Zhen only drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, and didn't move anything else, and the rest fell into Le Xiaotou's stomach.
After eating, Granny Jiang said the price, and after the negotiation, Le Xiaotou shouted that it was cheap, and it was only 20 yuan a day for one person to eat and live, which was simply the price of cabbage.
After eating, Granny Jiang took Le Xiaotou's hand hard, stuffed her onto the warm kang, and said repeatedly, "It's cold outside, warm up on the kang." ā
As soon as I climbed onto the kang, wrapped in a warm quilt, the pores of the whole body were indescribably warm, the kang of Granny Jiang's house was very large, and it was absolutely no problem to lie down for five or six people side by side, originally Granny Jiang meant to be separated in the middle, and let Yi Sin sleep next to it, because there was no other kang at home, but Yi Sin was unwilling to sleep with the two of them on a kang, and at the request of Granny Jiang, she placed him in the next room.
In the next room, Granny Jiang's son came back to sleep, there was no stove or kang, only an ordinary bed, although it was cleaner than the kang, but it was much colder.
Le Xiaotou knew that he had always resisted the cold, and he was no longer forced, so he tossed all night, but at the moment he felt physically and mentally exhausted, and fell asleep on the warm kang.
A few days have passed in the blink of an eye, because the aura in the mountain is stronger, Yi Zhen has been cultivating for a few days, and his body has obviously improved a lot, and the blue on his lips has also faded a lot.
In the past few days, Le Xiaotou has read the secret seriously, until the various methods in the book are familiar to her, she began to sit next to Yi Ke, trying to force herself to fantasize, but after thinking about it, she couldn't make her heart happy, on the contrary, as soon as she imagined the scene of Yi Ke disappearing into his world, her heart throbbed inexplicably.
Sure enough, it was hit by Mu Hong's words.
In the past few days, she has been forced to fantasize in the brain, which makes her feel like she is about to split her mind, but it has no effect at all.
At noon, Yi Scar sat on the rocks in the field, seizing the short time of sunshine to close his eyes and breathe.
Le Xiaotou walked over and carefully looked at his face, the blue on his mouth was much lighter, but his face was still pale, and sure enough, when he came to this kind of place, although he had a lot more spiritual power, he still treated the symptoms but not the root cause.
The sunshine in the mountains is very short, from twelve o'clock to two o'clock, the sunlight is the strongest, Le Xiaotou grabbed the frozen soil on the ground, and his heart was depressed.
"Not happy?" Easy Mark opened his eyes and stared at her silently.
Le Xiaotou raised his head and looked at the deep facial features, the pair of deep and dark eyes were full of concern, his heart throbbed, and the corners of his mouth moved to squeeze out a smile, but it turned into a wry smile.
"You...... How do you feel now? Le Xiaotou panicked in his heart, for fear that his answer would not get better.
"The spread of the toxin has slowed down a lot."
Just slow down ...... Then the danger still exists, he wasted some spiritual power on the road before, even if the speed slows down now, it will not be more than twenty days.
Le Xiaotou bit his lip, "I'll go to the top of the mountain to make a call, and I'll be back in a while." ā
didn't take a few steps, there were footsteps behind him, Le Xiaotou looked back, and saw that Yi Zhen had followed.
"It's dangerous in the mountains, I'll go with you."
climbed up in one breath like a gamble, Le Xiaotou, who had not exercised for a long time, only felt that his whole body was sticky, and when he reached the top of the mountain, the mountain wind blew, and he suddenly felt cold and panicked.
Le Xiaotou took out her mobile phone and looked at it, there were three signals, she should be able to get through, she called home first, and it has been a few days since she arrived here, and she hasn't called her parents yet.
As soon as I got connected, my mother began to chatter, why hasn't it been online for so long, your daily mother has cleared it for you, and if you don't play online, the equipment will be a little behind.
Le Xiaotou's heart was sour, listening to her mother's voice at the moment, she had the urge to cry, and she didn't tell her mother at all, she had run into the Qinling ravine, which was thousands of miles away.
After thinking about it, she said, "Mom, I haven't been playing games lately. ā
The other party was obviously surprised, "Yo, my daughter has to learn before her mother, so it's okay, go to bed early every day, don't worry about the game." ā
After hanging up her mother's phone, Le Xiaotou looked at Yi Ke, who was standing in front of her to help her block the wind, and quietly walked into the distance, before mustering up the courage to call Mu Hong.
As soon as Mu Hong heard Le Xiaotou's voice that was almost crying, he understood most of it, and waited for her mood to stabilize a little before saying, "Xiaotou, don't be sad, let's think of other ways." ā
In the distance, Yi Scar had already turned to look at her, obviously knowing that she didn't want him to hear the call, so he didn't come.
Le Xiaotou hurriedly turned his back, only to feel uncomfortable choking in his chest, "Mu Hong, I really can't do it, I don't want to ...... Didn't want to send him away. ā
Mu Hong was silent for a moment, "If you don't send him away, if he dies in front of you, can you accept it?" Mu Hongyi gritted his teeth and picked out this cruel truth clearly.
Le Xiaotou closed his eyes, and for the first time felt that the choice was so difficult, "Since I was a child, I have never liked anyone, this is the first time, the first time...... I know what you're saying, so I'm trying to get him away these days, but I find that I can't do it, and I ...... just the thought that he's going to disappear from me and go somewhere else."
"Xiao Tou, the person you like will have it in the future, don't dwell on the present, what you have to do now is to maintain the life of Yi Ke, otherwise, you will carry this burden for the rest of your life."
Le Xiaotou's heart became more and more painful, the difficult choice and the invisible pressure almost overwhelmed her, the mobile phone was about to be pasted into her face, the previous optimism in the face of such a life-threatening thing, she had long been far away, she felt that if she lived like this for a while, it was estimated that she would collapse.
Mu Hong didn't hear Xiao Tou's response for a long time, and thought for a while, "Xiao Tou, I have a way, you can try, didn't Yi Trace say that his world is beautiful before?" From now on, you focus on his world, try to imagine how beautiful his world is, and distract from the fact that Yi Ke is leaving, maybe it will help. ā
Le Xiaotou glanced at the long figure in the distance again, and nodded silently, "I'll try." ā
After finishing speaking, he gritted his teeth and shouted into the microphone, "I'll try!" This time it will be a success! "Yes, it will be successful, there will be no more problems, believe in all this, and all this will happen naturally.
Le Xiaotou put away his phone and walked in the direction of Yi Xing.
Before he could get to the front, he saw Yi Sin walking over, and looked down at her, "If you can't do it, forget it." Although I don't know what she said to Mu Hong, Le Xiaotou's expression has said it all.
Le Xiaotou raised his head suddenly, and the Yi Trace on the other side was the same as before, his eyes were restrained, and his face was calm, as if he was not discussing something about his life, but an ordinary matter.
Le Xiaotou asked in a trembling voice, "Why, if you give up, you will ......"
Yi Zhen looked at her for a long time, and his voice was as flat as ever, "Actually, I'm very happy to be in this world. ā
Le Xiaotou was stunned, his mind was chaotic, why would he be happy, it is obviously a matter of life, if someone pulls you into a world and then sends you to death, will you be happy?
Yi Zhen looked at her stupid expression, and her eyebrows suddenly became extremely gentle, "Why don't you speak?" ā
"Send to death...... You will also be happy? Le Xiaotou's mind was cloudy, and he came out without a head.
Yi Jian frowned and smiled, "I'm glad I met you." ā
Le Xiaotou's brain successfully turned into a pile of paste again, his lips opened slightly, and he looked at Yi Scar blankly, "What do you mean?" ā
Yi Zhen finally couldn't help it, and sighed lightly, when it came to the critical moment, her brain would immediately become a mess, so she simply stepped forward and took two steps, narrowing the distance between the two, he didn't explain anymore, and took Le Xiaotou's hand, "The call is over, let's go down the mountain." ā
He has no future, and even if she understands, what can she do, it can only add pain to her future days.
Le Xiaotou was completely blinded, only to feel that his palms were so warm and so safe, and the pain and depression just now slowly disappeared along the way, from his chest to his heart.
