Chapter 24: Awakening or Dreaming
"Whew!"
Xin Laosan sat up suddenly! At this time, he suddenly felt a cool air around him. Large beads of sweat were sliding down his forehead. At this time, he was already drenched in sweat. His chest, which had not been steady, was constantly panting rapidly.
Xin Laosan looked at it and returned to his wooden house! When he hurriedly turned his head and looked at the cuckoo and the baby in the kang. The heart hanging in my heart can be regarded as truly letting go.
At this time, the juan still had one hand, on the corner of the leather mattress wrapped in the baby. Juan Zi and the baby have been sleeping very deeply, and the baby's red little face is not to his aunt's side. A small arm, I don't know when, was on the outside of the leather mattress.
Xin Laosan looked at the baby's exposed little arm. I'm afraid that the baby will catch a cold. Then he carefully put the baby's little arms exposed. Gently and slowly stuffed back into the leather mattress wrapped in the baby.
Xin Laosan saw that the baby was not woken up by himself, so he frowned and recalled the dream that was like a real one! The dream of him and the white tiger facing off under the moon! That dream is like a real dream! Because of my body, I can really feel the real cold, controlling the hand. but
Xin Laosan stretched out his palm as he thought about it, and when he looked at his wide and rough palm. His brow furrowed even deeper! Because, he saw his own bowed fingers. There are even red marks left by drawing the bow! This shows that not long ago, he pulled his big bow!
When he was fighting against the White Tiger, his right finger was only a feather arrow. His fingers will pull on the bowstring of the big bow, and because of the long time he pulls the string, he will leave a mark that will not disappear for a while!
Xin Laosan lifted his leather quilt and walked out of bed naked. When he landed on the ground with his bare feet, he found that his feet were nothing. If the duel between him and the White Tiger in Xiaoshan Bao'er was true. Then his foot, but in the end, he was seriously injured. But why did he leave the mark on his hand when he drew the bow? And his feet, but there is nothing?
Xin Laosan stepped off the kang and looked at the leather jacket and pants he was pillowing on. There is no abnormality in the leather jacket and pants, the only difference is that there are some traces of wetness. Xin Laosan looked at the somewhat eroded place, and he took the opportunity to touch his hair and neck. But everywhere I go, it's all slippery, as if it has been washed!
He knew that this body was sweating as if it had been washed with water. It was he who came up with the showdown with the White Tiger! Although he was always very calm in the duel with the White Tiger, the tension suppressed by the calm was vented in the form of sweat. Not to mention, when he finally approached the head of the white tiger, his nervousness, which had been suppressed by calm, also reached its peak. But later, when he held the feather arrow that sank into the socket of the white tiger's eye. He didn't get any more nervous knowing that the white tiger was still alive.
Although the wooden house was very warm because of the fire. But Xin Laosan's sweat as if he had been washed by water still made him feel cold all over. He put the leather jacket and pants pillow on the kang head and slowly put them back on. In the end, Xin Laosan sat on the kang again and put his leather boots on his feet.
Xin Laosan, who finished wearing leather boots, did not move. He sat quietly next to the kang, frowning and remembering the last moment of his duel with the white tiger! At that moment, he had really been swallowed alive by the white tiger's blood! He didn't know what he would be like if he hadn't woken up when the white tiger swallowed him! Could it really be swallowed by the white tiger in the dream?
Xin Laosan thought as he reached out and looked at his right hand with a bow and arrow. At this time, the red mark left by the string is still clearly visible!
Xin Laosan raised his head and looked at the wooden wall where the big bow was hung. The big stone bow on the wooden wall is still quiet, and there is no trace of abnormality hanging on the wall. Looking at the big bow without a trace of abnormality, it was still hanging in its original position. He looked at the wooden table under the bow, and his heart tightened with the wooden table he was looking at!
And I saw that the quiver that was placed on the wooden table was empty! Looking at the empty quiver, Xin Laosan's heart tightened, and then he stood up again. He strode over to the wooden table where the quiver was kept. When he picked up the quiver, he made another discovery!
In the quiver, there are even some long silver-white hair! Xin Laosan looked at the long hair that came out of the quiver. He pulled the long hair out with his hand. When he looked at the long hair in his hand, he didn't feel anything at first. But when he counted the long hair in his hand, he couldn't help but talk to himself.
Xin Laosan looked at the long hair in his hand, and whispered: It turned out to be eleven arrows and arrows in the quiver! ”
In his quiver, eleven feathered arrows were missing. There are eleven more silver-white hairs. Xin Laosan was really, a little unbelievable. He didn't know what these eleven silver-white long hairs meant all of a sudden!
He still left it on his hand, and the red mark left when he drew the bow did not fade. And in the duel with the white tiger, he shot empty the quiver of the feather arrow. But he also lost his eleven feather arrows, but suddenly there were eleven more silver-white long hairs!
The more I think about it, the more I have no clue, Xin Laosan, I really can't guess what these white hairs in my hands are? Even if it's the object on the old white prince when he fights himself. It must be some long white hair. How could there be so many long silver-white hairs all of a sudden?
And, all that. Is it my own dream, or is it real? If it's a dream, then why do you have red marks on your hands? There are no feather arrows in the quiver, but a number of hairs in the same number as the feather arrows? If it's not a dream, then why would you go back to your own wooden house and go back to your kang?
All of this made Xin Laosan, who had lived in the old forest for almost half his life, very puzzled! Xin Laosan slowly clenched the long silver-white hair in his hand. He looked at the mother and son in the kang again.
Xin Laosan remembered the strange behavior of the old white prince in the daytime! It seems that the old white prince cares about his baby very much! Also, the scene I saw when I lifted the leather mattress wrapped in the baby during the day. Xin Laosan thought about it, and the little face that he saw appeared in his mind again. It was a wrinkled little face covered with tiny white hairs!
It was precisely because I saw that little face full of white hair. Xin Laosan was fierce and threw the baby in his arms into the pit. But I don't want the baby in my arms to be thrown away by myself. It's really alive! When the calf lifted the mattress to look at the baby inside, he was really afraid that the calf would see the little wrinkled face covered with white hair.
But what he didn't expect was that what the calf saw was a red face. When I also saw the baby who was held in the arms of the calf. Seeing the baby's non-stop crying appearance, he also washed away the fact that he saw the white-haired little face.
Later, Xin Laosan was on the way back with the baby in his arms. Because when I was about to arrive at Tunzi, it suddenly snowed for a while. But it reminded him of the old white prince who didn't know why he left. It was even more reminded, the little white-haired face he saw at the beginning.
Then I remembered the little white-haired face again. He also thought of a possibility, that is, he was dazzled and mistaken for a while! After all, he had been fighting with the old white prince for a long time, and he had not been nervous all the time. Keep staring, its very evil pale golden eyes! Inevitably, because of this, when I lifted the leather mattress, I made a mistake.
Only now, he remembered the strange behavior of the old white prince during the day. With the strange behavior of the old white prince, I once again thought of the scene I saw when I lifted the leather mattress.
Although he also found it for himself, it may be that he was wrong at the beginning. But the old white prince is real, and he is very weird about his baby! And when the old white prince walked away, he almost stepped on the calf. He didn't take the opportunity to swallow the calf that had passed out in one bite. Not to mention that it's like walking with the old white prince and following the wind and snow that stopped!
Xin Laosan thought about it, so he took off the big bow hanging on the wall and held it in his hand. He glanced at the white hairs in his hand again, but walked over to the fire. casually threw the white hair in his hand into the small flame. With a few slight "crackling" sounds, those gray hairs were quickly burned clean by the flames.
He looked at the white hair that had been burned by the flames, and after a few more glances, he walked towards the kang again. Xin Laosan was wearing a leather jacket and pants, and the fur boots on his feet were lying on the kang. He put the big bow in his hand next to his kang. The iron dagger knife that never leaves his body when he goes out. also took out the leather blanket under the kang and held it in his hand.
This iron dagger saved his life in the daytime, when he was fighting with the old white prince. Every time he slept on the kang, he would hide under the blanket on the scalp of the kang. Xin Laosan held the iron dagger with his hand, the pale black and cold scabbard. The coldness of the iron sheath passed down the sheath and into his warm and wide palm.
Xin Laosan just leaned on the kang head and half lay on the kang. He looked at the cuckoo in the kang again, and his baby who had come back from the dead. The baby's red little face made Xin Laosan's heart feel much more stable.
This is his third child! He will protect his baby! Nothing will hurt him!
"Crunch"
A somewhat dull sound came from behind Xin Laosan! Xin Laosan listened to the sound, and suddenly felt a thrill all over his body! When he hurriedly turned his head to look, he found that the door of the wooden house had opened by itself!
