Chapter 36: A Nursery Rhyme
Inside the house, after being treated by the doctor, the woman's face recovered a lot, but she was still asleep.
But the baby's cry never stopped.
Huaiyu asked the Luo family to temporarily find a nurse in the city. But the baby was very stubborn, and found that it was not the mother, no matter how to coax or deceive, he didn't eat a mouthful of milk, but kept crying, crying heartbreakingly.
Huaiyu was also very anxious when she looked at it, and finally had to clumsily hold the baby back into her arms and keep spinning around in the room.
Miao Zhi said helplessly: "Otherwise, I'll cast a requiem spell on the child." ”
Huaiyu shook his head, "The child is too young, the soul lamp is not prosperous, and the requiem curse is afraid of hurting the soul." ”
She seemed to remember something, and softly sang a song in her mouth.
“...... Mountains outside the mountains, water in the water, mountains and rivers meet freely, dust in the dust, clouds on clouds, dust leads to the clouds, the heaven of the heart, the end of the spirit, the end of the world is endless, all things are spiritual....."
This is a nursery rhyme that Huai Yuniang often sang when she coaxed her to sleep when she was a child.
When Miaozhi heard this song, he first frowned fiercely, his face was as uncomfortable as swallowing a headless fly, he was good at stroking the piano, and his music appreciation and tolerance were not low, but Qin Huaiyu's singing voice was too .......
Miao Zhi was about to interrupt Huaiyu, and a strange expression suddenly appeared on his face, how could this tune sound familiar.
When the baby in her arms heard the song, she cried even more miserably, desperately trying to break free from Huaiyu's arms.
"Don't ......" The mother of the baby who had been unconscious on the bed woke up, she barely raised her body, her eyes were frightened, and she pointed in the direction of Huaiyu, "Stop singing....!"
Huaiyu stopped chanting and hurriedly returned the baby in her arms to the woman.
The baby returned to its mother's arms, stopped crying, and fell silent, staring intently at her mother, with a reassuring smile for a while.
Huaiyu looked at the mother and son who were almost separated by yin and yang, and a touch of softness appeared between her eyebrows.
She turned around to leave, and suddenly found that at some point, Dong Yuan stood quietly in the doorway, and his bottomless eyes were raising a strange brilliance at this time, as if she was looking at a precious treasure that had been lost and recovered.
Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, was it because she sang too well just now? Well, this is also possible, she has always been very confident in her singing, in her previous life, when she was a Demon Venerable, the subordinates of the Demon Nest praised her singing voice as the first in the Demon Realm.
"Xiao Huaiyu, did you sing just now?" Luo Xiang came out from behind Dong Yuan, his face distorted very much.
Seeing his loud voice, Huaiyu was worried about scaring the baby who had just quieted down, so she stepped forward to cover his mouth and dragged him out of the room.
When the four of them came to the outside of the hospital, Luo Xiang broke free of Huaiyu's hand, turned his head and asked Miaozhi, "Brother Miaozhi, Xiao Huaiyu sang to the child, that child... Stunned?"
Huaiyu snapped, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Miao Zhi couldn't cry or laugh, and considered the words, "Qin Shaoxia woke up the baby's mother with a very special singing voice. ”
"Eh, mom, after listening to Xiao Huaiyu singing, the mother and son are estimated to have nightmares for the rest of their lives...... Oops, Xiao Huaiyu, you're hitting me again!"
Huaiyu withdrew the hand that was beating Luo Xiang's head, "Don't talk nonsense, how are you over there?"
Luo Xiang's expression was a little solemn, "When we saw Uncle Huo, he was healing, although I didn't see the wound, but I'm sure that his appearance is definitely not a practice of true qi, and there is a strong smell of blood in his room." ”
"What about you?"
"I was about to ask clearly, but Dongyuan Immortal Jun stopped me. Luo Xiang turned his head and looked at the cave abyss behind him.
Dong Yuan's eyes were still glued to Huaiyu, and he didn't seem to be listening to Luo Xiang's words.
Seeing this, Miao Zhi asked softly, "Uncle Shi, what do you mean?"
Dong Yuan came back to his senses, and his eyes returned to their usual coldness, "Wait and see." ”
Luo Xiang nodded: "Okay, starting tomorrow, a few of us will secretly monitor Uncle Huo's whereabouts." ”
...
Late at night, in front of a secluded pool in the Luo family's mansion, a man in white held a purple hole flute, standing in the wind, playing a small song. The tune was low, the voice was tactful, and the man's indifferent eyes showed a rare touch of warmth.
Miao Zhi saw it from afar, his brows furrowed slightly, he really didn't understand this bland song before, what was worthy of such nostalgia from his uncle, and he played it repeatedly.
Until today, he was surprised to find that the tune of the nameless nursery rhyme sung by Qin Huaiyu was very similar to the little song that his uncle often played. can see the cold and distant attitude of the two, and it doesn't look like an old acquaintance. For a moment, Miaozhi's mind was full of guesses.
Dong Yuan had already put away the cave flute and floated to Miaozhi's side.
Miao Zhi hurriedly saluted: "Uncle Shi, the disciple found out that Qin Shaoxia's song was ...... with you today."
"Miaozhi!" Dong Yuan lowered his eyes, "Why did you cultivate immortals in the first place?"
“... Oh, the disciple naturally wants to become an immortal and ascend to the heavenly realm. This should be the dream of every immortal cultivator. Isn't Uncle Shi?"
The dark eyes of the cave abyss faintly floated with few invisible traces of light and shadow, and he was silent for a long time, "My original intention was just to find someone." ”
Miao Zhi was stunned, on the one hand, he was surprised that Uncle Dong, who had been rejecting people thousands of miles away all the year round, actually talked to him, and on the other hand, he was puzzled by his answer-Xiuxian was actually looking for people? He started a few years later than Dong Yuan, and he heard the older senior brother say that the senior uncle was a closed disciple accepted by the ancestor Zixian Zhenren when he traveled in the mortal world, and the specific origin was not clear.
Miaozhi asked tentatively, "Has Uncle Shi found this person?"
After waiting for a long time, not hearing Dong Yuan's answer, Miao Zhi peeked at it and froze instantly.
Uncle Shi is looking up at the night sky. The moon is bright, the light is scattered on the earth, his dark eyes seem to be dyed with silver streamers, and the shallow arc of his lips spreads, like flowers about to bloom in May, wrapped in a touch of warmth and beauty.
Miaozhi thought he was dazzled, and rubbed his eyes vigorously, but when he opened his eyes again, Dong Yuan disappeared in front of him, leaving only the bright moon in the sky still dazzling.
...
The Luo family's mansion, outside the Hodge house.
Luo Xiang hid in the shadows, staring at Hodge's condition. Huaiyu on the side leaned against the trunk of the tree, squinting and dozing.
"It's been three days, and Uncle Huo hasn't moved at all. Xiao Huaiyu, don't you fall asleep?" Luo Xiang muttered quietly.
At this moment, a puff of black smoke suddenly drifted out of Hodge's open window.
Huaiyu's eyes widened suddenly, "Stinky gong, keep up." ”
Luo Xiang sacrificed his life sword, and Huaiyu and the two of them secretly followed the black smoke behind.
The black smoke left the Luo family's mansion and drifted all the way to a dense jungle outside the city. With a swish, the black smoke burrowed into the forest and disappeared.
Luo Xiang and Huaiyu lowered their spirit swords, Luo Xiang glanced at Huaiyu, and Huaiyu took out a signal talisman and launched it into the air.
The two also burrowed into the fog forest.
The forest is full of white mist, and the vision is very poor.
Luo Xiang clenched the celebrity sword in his hand and walked in front, Huaiyu also held a few spirit runes in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.
"Whew-" There was a miserable cry as he went, and then it came to an abrupt end.
