Chapter 536: Asking for Forgiveness
It took a while for a group of elders to come to Changjing, and it was not a group of people who came in a big way, the first to come were Sister Qiao and Magu, Magu's child has been three months old, and it looks very pleasing to be carved and pecked.
This child can be regarded as the only generation of many hidden people here, and the only child born outside the hidden country.
It is Duanmuqing and Ling'er, although they suffered national changes at a young age and were exiled, but after all, they were all born in the land of the hidden country.
A group of people were making a fuss, crying, laughing, and Duanmuqing had a sour nose when they saw it.
Maybe before, everyone was strangers who didn't know each other at all, but at this time, they are each other's family, knowing that they came from the same place, knowing that they all have the same country and the same faith.
It's just that a few days after the happy days, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared.
Elder Li came to Lingwang's Mansion on the fifth day after Sister Qiao and the others came, and what made people worry was that he was sick.
He is different from other hidden people in this world, he is naturally aging, which is a good phenomenon and a hidden danger.
That is, when he is sick when his body functions are declining normally, it will actually have a superposition effect, that is, he is more difficult to deal with when he is sick than normal people.
Seeing his old and weak appearance, Duanmu Qing had no other way but to let people take care of him wholeheartedly.
Fortunately, Ling'er's ability originally came from the Hidden Kingdom, and their clan can be called the spiritual doctors of the Hidden Kingdom, Duanmu Qing's medical skills may not be of much help to Elder Li, but Ling'er's medical skills have played a great role.
"Elder Li, what do you think?" Duanmu Qing took the medicine that Baimei had just boiled, walked into his room and asked with a smile.
There was a rocking chair in the room, and the old man was lying on the rocking chair at this time, which made Duanmu Qing can't help but think of the psychic old man who had turned into white bones.
"It's an old bone, it's okay, I'm going to see Ruoshui sooner or later, it's not worth anything, you don't have to worry." Elder Li waved his hand, a kind and optimistic smile on his face.
"What nonsense!" Duanmu Qing smiled and said angrily, "Our group of juniors don't understand anything, how can we do it without you?" If you don't guide us well, I won't follow it, and everyone will think that you are not doing your duty enough. ”
Elder Li drank the medicine and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, how can you be virtuous with your mother!" Rest assured! How about my old bones, I have to toss until everyone returns to the hidden country, and the fallen leaves have to go back to the roots! ”
"Miss, the night spirit is here." Baimei's voice sounded outside, and Duanmu Qing remembered that the night soul had said that she had some intersection with Elder Li when she was in the Hidden Kingdom in the past.
"Come in!"
After opening the door for the night spirit to enter, Baimei closed the door again, and there were only three people in the room.
"Leave the Elder!" The Night Spirit respectfully bowed to him with a hidden kingdom.
"Hmm!" To the surprise of the night soul, the old man did not have an unhappy look on his face, but a calm face, "You still recognize me." ”
"Night Soul doesn't dare, for many years, Night Soul has always wanted to be able to return to his homeland, and when your Night Soul's seal is excavated, it has also passed through the guidance of Elders, and you don't dare to forget your roots."
Elder Li nodded lightly: "I see your affairs in my eyes, and your later experience Snow Girl also told me as it was, in fact, your affairs should not be forgiven, but you have not done anything harmful to the hidden country over the years, and you are concerned about the motherland, which can be regarded as patriotic."
What's more, right now, our Hidden Kingdom is suffering from a disaster, and everyone is eager to have more companions united, and your small mistakes can be ignored in the face of major rights and wrongs, since the Snow Maiden has forgiven you, what do I disagree with! ”
Night Soul suddenly burst into tears: "Thank you Elder Li." ”
"Get up!" Elder Li helped her up with his own hands, and a smile bloomed on the old man's face, "Speaking of which, you still grew up in front of me!" is a little younger than Ruoshui, and the little girl who was so proud back then has become like this, which makes me, a white-haired person, feel uncomfortable! ”
Only then did the night soul cry out, if her feelings for Elder Li could be described in two words, then it was intimate now.
Although before he came, the Night Soul had seen a lot of hidden people here, but everyone was unfamiliar with them, and it was only because of that sense of community that they were maintained.
But now in front of her is a person who appeared in her growing life, and her heart is a nostalgia for the past.
Even if Elder Li is not the most important person in her hidden life, nor is she the closest person, but at this moment, she is the person who can make her feel home and feel her roots the most.
Therefore, she couldn't help crying like a child at this time, like a wanderer who was lost outside and suddenly saw the elders in her hometown.
"Alright, alright! Don't twist and pinch like this anymore for such a big person, I'm going to laugh at you when I see the Snow Girl. "In the end, the elder still has to comfort this little girl from the past.
"I heard the Snow Girl say that your body is getting worse and worse, don't abuse yourself, I'm old now, and the Protoss still has to rely on you and Qing'er."
The night soul lowered her head a little ashamedly, she knew in her own heart that in fact, her time was running out, although Elder Li said so, but in fact, she really couldn't be sure who would leave this world sooner between herself and Elder Li.
"In fact, sometimes human life does not really depend only on the strength of the body, but also on your willpower, just like me, even if I know that my body is no longer good, but until the last moment, before the last breath, I will not give up.
Because I have not yet returned home, even if I die, I will die on the territory of our own country, in our own home, how can you be inferior to me in terms of ideological consciousness? ”
The night soul looked up at him a little dazedly, and when he saw the encouraging look in his eyes, his heart was inexplicably hot, and the courage that seemed to be about to be lost was suddenly filled again.
She nodded firmly: "Don't worry! Leaving the elder, I will be with this Qing'er, knowing that we are going home, knowing that we are returning to the place where we should belong. ”
"By the way, Qing'er, what about your husband? I've been here for two days, why haven't I seen him yet? "For this kind of thing, it is not good to stop at the point, and no matter how much it is, it is not good to leave the elder than others, so he changed the topic without a trace.
But Duanmu Qing's face flushed slightly, and she didn't have a particularly big reaction to others mentioning Han Lingxi, but it was a little different from the elders, just like the elders in the family asked.
"He's coming over this afternoon, and there's something to take care of."
"I know!" Elder Li nodded, "He is the eldest son of the emperor here, and now that the crown prince has passed away, it is also appropriate for him to be busy." Speaking of which, I really wronged you. ”
Duanmu Qing was taken aback, and then realized that when Elder Li said this, he probably regarded being with Han Lingyan as sacrificing himself for the Hidden Kingdom.
"No, Elder, you're mistaken!"
Duanmu Qing wanted to defend one or two, but Elder Li waved his hand and said, "I know everything, I see your thoughts!" Although I don't know how sure this Han Lingxi is of inheriting the throne of Dongli.
But I think since you choose him, there should be a good chance! If the people of the Hidden Kingdom want to return to the Hidden Kingdom safely, they really need to avoid the obstruction of the government here.
But Snow Girl, if it's really too difficult, if you give up, none of us will blame you, there is no need to really sacrifice to such an extent. Take 10,000 steps back, if Han Ling's succession to the throne fails, if you leave him, everyone will support you. ”
Duanmu Qing was so crying and laughing by what he said, probably because the old man had a lot of things in his heart, so he couldn't help but guess according to his own speculation.
"Leave the elder, you think too much, Xiaoqing doesn't know how much he likes that guy surnamed Han!" The sweet potato suddenly sticks out its head, and is almost trampled down again by the night spirit.
"How can you be so rude!" Elder Li suddenly reprimanded with a straight face.
Duanmu Qing hurriedly smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, after all, it's someone else's place, it's okay if you don't pay so much attention, the most important thing for us now is how to go home, not to dwell on such a small thing." ”
Elder Li is different from everyone else, even if Duanmu Qing says that he should not stick to the rules of the hidden country so much, he still insists on it unchanged, but he can't change it, and this stubbornness is also a kind of insistence on his beliefs.
The sweet potato pursed his mouth, and then the eldest person smiled and said to Elder Li: "Look at you, Xiaoqing said that it doesn't matter, don't blow your beard and stare at your eyes!" Xiaosheng is a reader! ”
"Xiaoqing Xiaoqing, is Xiaoqing's name you? She is a snow girl, and it is casual to meet without saluting, how can she be so presumptuous. ”
Duanmu Qing's head suddenly became big, so he had to change the topic: "Sweet potato, why did you come suddenly, is there something wrong?" ”
"Oh!" Sweet potato suddenly remembered what he was doing here, "Han Lingyan came to look for you, but I went to Sigui Pavilion, I didn't know you were here, I came to tell you." ”
Duanmu Qing nodded, and was about to say goodbye to Elder Li, who knew what he said: "You let Han Lingyan come over and let me take a look, so that I can recognize what kind of person the Snow Girl's husband is." ”
Duanmu Qing blushed again when he said this, he really didn't know what to say, and he always had the feeling of bringing him to meet his parents.
Seeing this, the sweet potato pursed his lips and smiled: "I'm going to call him over, but Elder Li, I have to tell you first, that guy is simply a scumbag, bullying people at every turn, violent maniac, has a bad temper, likes to beat people, and looks ugly......"
When he was about to go on, he saw Duanmu Qing's face and hurriedly escaped: "I'll go now." ”638
