Chapter 8: Fleeting Happiness

"Baby, sleep. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" With the old man's soft words, the candlelight was extinguished.

Suddenly, it was pitch black.

Ling Yan was lying on the cold wooden bed, although he felt very tired, and sleepiness came silently, but he just couldn't sleep, and his head was occupied by countless questions.

He closed his eyes, filtered the questions in his mind, put aside for a moment the questions about the few people who were dressed similarly to his own, and instead considered his own "crossing": if he had traveled here by time, then ...... Is that handsome guy named Lu Bu really the number one fierce general in the Three Kingdoms era?!

When Ling Yan thought of this, he couldn't help but feel very excited, he never dreamed that he would be able to get along with the number one fierce general in ancient times for so long! However, he found that the Lu Bu who traveled to the modern era was really different from what was described in the book, except that his appearance was tall and handsome, the book said that Lu Bu was a three-surnamed domestic slave who forgot his righteousness when he saw wealth and lust, but Ling Yan felt that the modern Lu Bu was not this kind of person at all.

Thinking of this, Ling Yan's heart was surging, he never dreamed that he would actually see the famous Lu Bu in history with his own eyes, and then travel back to more than a thousand years ago and meet the people at that time! I ate the food cooked by the ancients! Slept in the ancient bed! And in modern clothes! Ling Yan felt very funny, but suddenly a question came to mind: Why did Lu Bu travel to modern times, and his clothes became modern clothes? After I crossed over, why was it still the same clothes? Moreover, ancient and modern people must have different speaking language, why did Lu Bu speak modern words in modern times?

The more Ling Yan thought about it, the more confused he became, and he simply stopped thinking about it. Turning over and touching the cold bed with his hand, he couldn't help but get excited again: If only I had brought a digital camera and filmed everything I saw, then when I returned to modern times, I would have the capital to show off! Definitely can calm down all my classmates! Ha ha...... Yes!

Ling Yan was thinking about it beautifully, and suddenly his heart was cold, because he suddenly thought of another very "realistic" and serious problem: What about the two pendants?!

Ling Yan touched his trouser pocket, it was empty. He was a little panicked in his heart, broken! Could it be that he fell on that mountain when he crossed over? Be sure to look for it tomorrow! Otherwise, wouldn't you be here forever? Never going back to modern times? Will you never be able to go home, see your classmates, or relatives?

The more Ling Yan thought about it, the more frightened he became, so scared that he had the urge to cry, and it was only then that he felt the panic that Lu Bu felt when he came to the modern era.

At this time, there was a very soft sound outside the house, although the sound was very soft, but in the quiet darkness, this slight sound still reached Ling Yan's ears very clearly, and Ling Yan's thoughts were interrupted at once.

Ling Yan thought of the girl in the stove room, and he was very upset in his heart, so he quietly got up and got out of bed and walked towards the stove room.

By the fireside, the girl sat on the ground with her knees folded, her chin on her knees, her eyes slightly closed, as if she was sleepy, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Ling Yan tiptoed over to the girl. Looking at the girl's immature and quiet face, Ling Yan was a little stupid for a while, he felt that the most beautiful scenery in the world was nothing more than that.

Although Ling Yan didn't want to break this peaceful beauty, since he came, he couldn't help but say hello.

"Ahem." Ling Yan couldn't think of how to speak, so he had to cough lightly twice.

The girl raised her head, saw that it was Ling Yan, smiled softly, and whispered a little shyly, "Ling Yan...... Brother. ”

Ling Yan also scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled, "I'm really sorry to disturb you." ”

The girl bowed her head in embarrassment: "No...... I haven't slept yet. ”

"Hehe, I can't sleep either." Ling Yan smiled as he sat on the ground opposite the girl.

"Hmm." The girl replied softly, the fingers of the two little hands gently pinching each other.

Ling Yan was worried that the atmosphere would become embarrassing, so he took the initiative to find a topic: "Hmm...... I heard my grandfather call you Cong'er...... Then your name is Sun Cong, right? ”

The girl laughed out loud and looked up at Ling Yan: "No, my nickname is Cong'er, my grandfather likes to call me that...... Actually, my name is Sun Shangmei. ”

Ling Yan was stunned for a moment: Why is it so similar to Sun Shangxiang's name? He took a closer look, and felt that the girl in front of him must be much more beautiful than that Sun Shangxiang of the Three Kingdoms.

Sun Shangmei...... Nice name. Ling Yan said with a smile.

The girl lowered her head shyly again, and her face seemed to flush.

Ling Yan put his hand over to the fire and roasted it, he didn't know what to continue chatting, so he asked casually: "By the way, Cong'er...... Uh, can I call you Cong'er? ”

The girl glanced at Ling Yan and nodded slightly.

"I just looked at you alone, as if you had something on your mind." Ling Yan was just trying to find something to say.

Unexpectedly, the girl's expression became a little lonely, and after a moment of silence, she said softly: "I...... Miss Daddy. ”

Ling Yan was silent, the girl's sad eyes made him unbearable to look at it again, so he moved his gaze to the firelight: "Hmm...... When was the last time your dad left home? ”

The girl's eyes were filled with tears: "It's been a year." ”

Ling Yan knew that something was wrong, he understood that Sun Guang would be arrested again, and he would definitely be punished as a "deserter", this is a big crime, and there has been no news for a year, it is estimated that there is more than one bad luck.

The girl continued, her voice a little choked: "I miss my father so much, and I miss my mother so much...... Grandpa said that when General Ling won the battle, his father and mother would come back, but ......"

Ling Yan was silent. He knew very well the historical trend of the Three Kingdoms - even a modern person who did not know anything about the Three Kingdoms era must know that the war would end when it was over. If we want to end the war, at least it will be the time for the whole country to be reunified, but in this era of war-torn separation, when will it be reunified?

The girl secretly wiped the tears overflowing from her eyes with her hand, then looked up at Ling Yan and said, "When I cure my grandfather's illness, I want to ...... Go find my father and my mother. ”

Ling Yan was stunned: "Is your grandfather sick?" He felt that the old man's body was very strong, and he couldn't tell that he was sick at all.

The girl pursed her lips, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Grandpa has been coughing all the time lately, and he told me that his head hurts sometimes. ”

Ling Yan recalled: Indeed, when the old man was chatting with him, he often coughed a few times.

From the girl's account, Ling Yan couldn't judge the old man's condition at all, although he was a medical student, he was just a freshman who had just started studying medicine, and he was also a "bad boy" who believed in "long live sixty years". At this time, he regretted it very much: why didn't he work more hard when he was in school!

Ling Yan felt ashamed, but he really wanted to help something, so he grabbed the girl's hand a little impulsively and promised heavily: "Cong'er, don't worry, I will definitely let you see your father!" I'll get them home safely! I'll try my best to help him heal your grandfather's illness! ”

The girl looked at Ling Yan steadily, her simple eyes showing gratitude and disbelief: "Really...... Brother Ling Yan, can you really help me? ”

Ling Yan nodded heavily: "Definitely!" ”

The girl smiled happily, and suddenly her face turned red, and she quickly withdrew her hand from Ling Yan's hand.

Ling Yan was a little at a loss, he thought that in ancient times, he couldn't touch the hand of the opposite sex casually, and he might have been too excited just now to hold Cong'er's hand. Ling Yan was afraid that Cong'er would think that he was a pervert, but he looked at Cong'er's appearance, but he didn't look angry at all, so he was relieved.

"Brother Ling Yan...... You should rest early, not early. Cong'er lowered her head shyly and said softly.

Ling Yan looked a little embarrassed: "Cong'er, you go back to sleep, I'll sleep here." ”

"No, you're a guest." Cong'er raised her head and looked at Ling Yan and said seriously.

Ling Yan smiled: "I like to sleep like this, I often sleep by the stove at home, it's very warm." ”

"Really?" Cong'er blinked and asked innocently.

Ling Yan nodded again: "Yes, you go to sleep." ”

Cong'er tilted her head and looked at Ling Yan for a few seconds, before standing up and smiling sweetly: "It turns out that Brother Ling Yan, like me, likes to sleep here, hehe......hee"

Ling Yan also showed a handsome smile: "Yes! It's kind of a common denominator, hehe......"

Cong'er tilted her head slightly, and smiled sweetly: "Brother Ling Yan, then I'll go to sleep!" ”

Ling Yan smiled and nodded.

After Cong'er left, Ling Yan looked around and frowned: How can you sleep here? In desperation, he walked to the corner and curled up in a ball.

At this time, Ling Yan didn't care very much about whether he slept comfortably, but he was thinking about the grandfather and grandson, and said in his heart: Although I can't cure grandpa's illness, but this is the Three Kingdoms, I just need to find Hua Tuo? But reading the novel, he is traveling all over the world, living in no fixed place, where to find him...... Hey, no matter what, in short, we must find him and cure Grandpa Cong'er's illness. As for Cong'er's father......

Surrounded by the residual heat of the stove fire, Ling Yan quickly fell asleep.

Ling Yan was in his sleep, and suddenly felt that his body was gently pressed by something, which was very warm. He opened his eyes in a daze, and in his half-asleep state, he vaguely saw a pair of slender hands covering a quilt over him, as if it were Cong'er's hands.

However, Ling Yan was really sleepy, he didn't see it clearly, he said thank you vaguely, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Ling Yan woke up for the second time, but was woken up by a cacophony of shouts and footsteps.
