Chapter 46: Here I Am
After nightfall, the temperature around her slowly dropped, and the colder and colder air surrounded Du Xiaomeng heavily in the thick inky night, freezing her clothes that had been wet and had not dried into ice. The icy clothes clung to her chest, and the cold breath continued to seep into her skin and into her internal organs.
After the body that was tortured by the bone-deep cold was frozen to stiffness, it began to feel hot and hot from the inside, and the back seemed to be constantly stabbed back and forth by many small needles, and the head felt painful and heavy, and even breathing felt a little uncomfortable.
The discomfort from various parts of her body made Du Xiaomeng very uncomfortable, but in this case, her mind clearly recalled the situation on the day she was abandoned by her biological mother, she clearly remembered how gray and gloomy the sky was that day, and even clearly remembered what color clothes her biological mother was wearing, and she could even clearly remember how many petals the flower-shaped buckle pinned to the clothes was.
Then, after being carried into the general's mansion by the sedan chair, the bits and pieces that happened came to mind one by one. She remembered the situation when she met Zhan Qi for the first time, the clips of getting along happily with him in the days to come, and the good treatment of everyone in the Zhan family. The various situations in her memory seemed to have happened yesterday, so clear that she seemed to be able to reach out and touch, giving her the feeling that she was not tied up in a cold and dark abandoned dilapidated house at this time, but in the warm general's mansion that was lively and homely.
Thinking about it, Du Xiaomeng suddenly remembered that a long, long time ago, I don't know who I heard say that when people are about to die, they will clearly remember all kinds of things that have happened in their lives.
If you can remember what happened so clearly, does that mean that you are not far from death? Du Xiaomeng's heart couldn't help but tighten, she was willing not to give up all the memories she had after crossing over, especially those related to him.
She always thought that Zhan Qi was a bastard, because he always sold her to Yu Tianzheng without considering her thoughts and feelings. But now that she thinks about the past, all she remembers is when Zhan Qi treated her well. Actually, Zhan Qi is not such a bastard, it's just that she has always stubbornly forced herself to treat him as a bastard who can't get too close to her, but she doesn't know that he has unknowingly left a place in her heart in the days she gets along. And this position is important, and it has gone to a level that she doesn't even know about.
There was a faint but unstoppable pain in my heart, and tears with warmth poured out involuntarily, turning into cold tears that crossed my face and dripped silently into the darkness.
When Du Xiaomeng was secretly sad and depressed in the space entangled by the breath of death, suddenly there was an inaudible sound outside. Although the volume was very small, it was very clear in the silence.
Du Xiaomeng was stunned at first, and for a moment, her mood involuntarily became nervous. She hoped that someone would find her here to rescue her from this ghost place, but at the same time, she was afraid that Yu Tianjun would reappear and drag her to the prison to spoil the prisoners.
She subconsciously wanted to shrink back, but the hard bedpost resisted the direction she was backing.
The slight noise outside continued, and after a while, she heard someone shouting in the distance: "Du Xiaomeng, are you here?" ”
It's Zhan Qi's voice!
Du Xiaomeng paused for a moment, and after coming back to her senses, she quickly pricked up her ears to listen to the movement outside, but found that the sounds and shouts she heard before were gone, and what was left around was the dead silence that had accompanied her for a long time.
She smiled wryly and shook her head, it seemed that it was too cold and quiet here, and she was hallucinating because she was thinking too much in her heart.
"Du Xiaomeng! Are you not here?! ”
Just when she thought she was hallucinating, the same shouts came from outside, and this time it was noticeably louder than the previous one.
It's not an illusion, it's not an illusion of yourself! It was Zhan Qi who really found this place and came to her!
All kinds of tastes came to my heart in such a moment. I can't tell whether she was happy or excited, in short, Du Xiaomeng's tears that had just stopped fell uncontrollably again, and she desperately tore away her already hoarse voice and shouted desperately: "I'm here!" ”
