Chapter 18: Loved Ones in Dreams

Ah Huan was taken into a hot pool by the man in black.

Near the edge of the pool, there was only one kind of sprawling golden flower that bloomed bravely, the kind of double-petaled golden lotus that the man in black had just let him eat.

After the man in black helped him straighten out his spiritual power, he turned his fingers into qi, condensed his spiritual power, and pressed it on his eyebrows.

The ice qi traveled back and forth in the acupuncture points of the joints of his body, from Parkway to Yongquan, opening the prohibition for him little by little.

In this pool of boiling water, the ice air seemed to be as piercing as the ice picks he had received from the full moon every month.

On the contrary, it made him feel extremely comfortable, and his spiritual power was also driven by that person's spiritual power, gathering little by little and wandering around his body.

The man in black saw that his spiritual power exercises were already able to run independently, so he collected the exercises himself. He also instructed him a few words, which was nothing more than that Ah Huan himself must not leave the ink pool every day, practice the exercises diligently, and wait for him to retreat and recover from his injuries, and then tell the past, etc.

Ah Huan immersed his whole body in the soup pool, leaving only his head exposed to the surface of the pool.

He didn't know how long he had been in this position.

One month? Trimester?

Except for some food, he stayed in this only one place after coming here.

He felt that with his daily cultivation, the Ice Emperor Cold Pole Technique in his body was being lifted little by little, and the operation of his spiritual power was becoming more and more comfortable.

The few half-hung spiritual power exercises that were secretly learned, slowly integrated, actually made the cold not so strong, but felt that they benefited a lot.

For many years, since entering this boiling water spring pool, the cone-piercing cold poison that occurs every full moon has not flareed up again.

In a daze, he seemed to have dreamed one dream after another, and in his dreams he heard a woman's voice several times, shouting "Ah Huan...... Ah Huan ......: "When I opened my eyes, there was no one around.

More and more, he felt that this place seemed to be very familiar, as if he had been somewhere in his dreams, as if he had been there before, and there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

"Ah Huan...... Ah Huan ......", closed his eyes and ran his spiritual power, this voice came again, yes...... Spirit Girl? No, this voice is so kind, like Mrs. Lang, but it's not.

"Ah Huan, your father said that you have practiced to the fifth level of the Xuanji Ice Spirit, the Cold Pole, you really fight for your mother's relatives. The two elder brothers of your uncle's family are a few years older than you, and they haven't practiced to such a high level. My good son, what reward do you want your mother to give you? ”

This is...... Mother?

In the dream, a figure appeared, with a tall figure, purple clothes, and long hair, only combed in a bun on the top of the head, and inserted a step to shake the tassel.

Turning around, a pair of big eyes with a smile, the corners of the eyebrows and eyes are raised upward, the bridge of the nose is high, and the lips are red without dotting.

It seems that in his memory, this woman has never been angry, and has always looked at him with such a loving smile...... I couldn't help but burst into tears.

It turned out that he also had a loving mother, and the depths of Lang Huan's memory were opened little by little, and his dreams became clearer little by little.

Under the eaves, in the crisp sound of the bell, a tall and burly figure stood in front of the mother and mother, brushing the tassels under the bell.

Ah Huan ran over and took one of the visitors' hands with affectionate hands.

"Mother, Daddy has promised Huan'er to take Huan'er to the rich Nanjing to have a look, isn't it, Daddy?" Ah Huan shook Daddy's hand and asked with his head tilted.

He turned to his mother and asked, "Didn't my grandfather also say that the southern border is not as clean as ours here, there are all kinds of delicious and fun food, and it is very lively and prosperous." Mother, do you want to come with us? ”

My mother smiled and shook her head and said, "My mother won't go, your grandfather is seriously ill, and my mother can't go away, Ah Huan, you have to come back early with your father."

"That'...... All right! Mother, I will definitely bring you beautiful jewelry, delicious food, you have to be good at home......"

"Huan'er, let's go early and come back early. Your mother doesn't need any jewelry, she is already the first beauty of our Yushan Peak Mirror. Bring back the delicious food, and it's all yours, right?! Hahaha. ”

Father's hearty laughter was heard in the hall.

With his mother's advice, Ah Huan followed Ah Daddy, crossed the ice field, and galloped on the way south.

Ah Huan has grown so big, and it is the first time that he has left Yushan Mountain with his father, and he has overturned Wumeng Mountain, everything is so novel to him.

At this time, Ah Huan was like a bird that had just come out of the cage, cheering and jumping, and the horse was urged by him to scatter Huan'er's wild gallop.

Grandpa's unforgettable squirrel osmanthus fish, donkey meat roasted, and what is called flower chicken, stuffed three treasures, Dongjiang stuffed tofu, etc., as if it was in front, he drooled greedily.

I heard that there are also opera gardens, teahouses, and temple fairs. The storyteller and the singing painter painted their faces full of oil paint, Ah Huan couldn't wait to see it immediately, and also smeared their faces with oil paint to make her mother giggle.

When I think of these, Ah Huan is very happy.

"Huan'er, you slow down, this is just out of the Foggy Mountain, and there is still a long way to go!" Daddy urged the horse to follow him, shouting at him to slow down.

"Hurry up, Daddy, I'm in a hurry. There's a small town in front of me, and I'm going there to eat something good. ”

Entering the first small town market in the Central Plains, Ah Huan couldn't wait to hand over the horse to Daddy to lead, and began to look for delicious food and interesting objects by himself.

Gradually, Ah Huan walked behind his father.

Here, on a stall selling lanterns on the side of the road, the stall owner is trying on a new product for a small doll, and a lantern made of five-colored petals also attracted Ah Huan's attention.

I saw that the stall owner turned a few times under the base, and the lantern on it began to rotate, and the sound of jingling bells and rumbling music was particularly pleasant.

"This is for my mother, my mother must like it very much." Ah Huan thought to herself.

Ah Huan looked up and said to Daddy, "Daddy, I want this ......"

Hey, where's Daddy? In the crowd, there is no Daddy.

Ah Huan vaguely remembered that Daddy seemed to have said just now that they were staying in this town tonight, and he was going to find an inn to stay in.

Ah Huan hurriedly put down the lamp in his hand and looked around, looking for inns on both sides of the market, as well as Daddy with two horses.

At this moment, a man walked beside him, dressed as a local, and Ah Huan didn't look at his appearance carefully.

The man patted Ah Huan on the shoulder and said, "Little boy, just now a gentleman asked me to come and call you, he is waiting for you in the teahouse on the right side of the front, you can hurry up and meet him."

After saying these few words, the person disappeared into the vast sea of people.

Ah Huan hurriedly said thank you to the man's back, and hurriedly walked into the teahouse called "Pure Water Zhai" that he was directing.

In the teahouse, there were not many guests sitting in the hall, and after Ah Huan came in, he looked around looking for his father.

Xiao Er, who ran the hall, greeted him, said politely, and greeted, "Guest officer, please ...... inside How many of you ......"

Xiao Er was familiar with himself, and without waiting for Ah Huan to answer, he said directly: "This little boy, please here, are you looking for a big master?" The lord is waiting for you in the private room here. "Led him to one of the inner rooms.

When he first entered the market town and dealt with the living, Ah Huan knew for the first time that the teahouse was welcoming guests like this.

Ah Huan saw that there was no father in the hall, so he simply followed him to the inner room to look for him.

In the bakery, there was no Daddy in sight, only a tall, black-clad figure, with his back to him, standing in front of the window of the house with his hands in his hands.

"I'm sorry, I'm ...... I went into the wrong room. ”

Ah Huan said, turning around to leave the door of this room.

There was a sound of fast footsteps behind him, like a gust of wind blowing, and it was behind him in an instant, and Ah Huan only felt a chill on the back of his neck, and he lost consciousness.

When he woke up, it was night, and it was pitch black.

Ah Huan struggled his eyes and looked around, but there was no one around, only the deathly silence, and the occasional cry or two of night birds in the distance, which was very terrifying.

He felt that he seemed to be in an unguarded cemetery at this time, and what should be a tombstone behind his back should be a tombstone, and his hands were tied behind his back, on which the stone tombstones were erected.

Ah Huan began to urge his spiritual power, trying to break free from the ropes that bound him.

At this time, Daddy's voice was heard not far away.

"Huan'er...... Huan'er"

Ah Huan was overjoyed and hurriedly replied: "Daddy, I'm here, come and save me."

Daddy didn't seem to hear Lang Huan's answer, and said loudly: "I don't know which friend sent a letter and made an appointment to come down, since Your Excellency said that you know the whereabouts of the dog, you might as well say it clearly." If necessary, Zhong Weiding should do his best, and ask Your Excellency to show up and give advice in person. ”

After hearing his father say this, Ah Huan tore his throat and shouted, "Daddy, I'm here ......"

"Huan'er, don't be afraid, Daddy came to save you, are you injured?" Daddy heard his voice, replied, and rushed over.

"Daddy, where did you go just now? I went to the teahouse and didn't see you, and when I woke up, I was tied up here. Ah Huan looked at his father who was untying the rope for him, and said aggrievedly.

"Huan'er, this is called kidnapping, there are some shameless people who kidnap the children of rich families, and then send letters to the adults in the family, just to exchange for some silver taels. In the future, you don't want to run around at will, you must follow Daddy, do you hear?"

"Oh, okay. I got Daddy. …… Ah~~ Dad! ”

Just when Daddy was lowering his head, leaning over to untie the rope tied to Ah Huan's feet, and wanted to stand up, a figure appeared in the night, holding a sword, and suddenly stabbed into the middle of his father's heart, and the tip of the sword burst out of Daddy's chest, dripping with Daddy's blood.

"Ah~Dad! Ah~Dad! Ah Huan picked up his father and shouted.

Daddy gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and didn't say a word.

The person didn't look back, but his right hand slapped towards the person behind him, and the man was hit by Daddy, pulled out the sword with the blood of Ah Huan's father, and was shocked to fly more than ten meters away.

"Huan'er, let's go......" The father's left hand blocked the chest that was constantly bleeding blood, and his right hand pulled Ah Huan up, rushing into the night like a headless fly.

The man in black chased after him with his sword, as if their father and son would not give up until they died.
