From walking alone in the desert of the heat wave, not meeting the water source for a long time, almost dying of thirst to wake up from the dream, I don't know when, driven by the dry mouth and the extreme desire for water, I got up like a fire, didn't care about the surrounding situation, shouted water in my mouth, took the warm tea jar handed over by unknown people, poured most of the tea, and slept again in a daze, and the whole person really woke up.

The temples on both sides of the head are still faintly throbbing, and the body also feels as heavy as the mountain, especially the neck is very uncomfortable inside and out, swallowing saliva is painful, and the indescribable heat in the bed seems to be a little feverish.

As soon as I regained my strength, a hand full of wrinkles, unusually rough palms, and a little cool was placed on my forehead.

"It's okay, it's just a little bit of a burn, and it will be fine if you rest more." Shaking my eyes, I saw that it was my grandfather sitting in front of the bed, and behind me stood my mother with a worried face.

"Grandpa, Mom, where's my dad? How is he? Holding back the pain in my throat as if it was about to tear, I coughed dryly twice, and after swallowing hard to moisten my saliva, I squeezed out a smile and asked.

"Your dad is fine, it's just burned a little worse than you, and for a while he was a little nonsense, but now it's okay and he's still sleeping." My mom looked straight at me and said.

"That'...... What about Pan Guanghai and Pan Guanglong? Do you know how they're doing? I was relieved to hear that my dad was okay, and then asked again.

After staring at me for a few more seconds, my mother replied: "It's nothing serious, "Pan Dagong" has already shown you all, Pan Guanghai's situation is more serious, now the fever has not begun to subside, Pan Guanglong has woken up, everything else is okay, but there is a little bit of anger in the waist......"

"Pan Dagong" is the honorific name of the old wizard in Shili and Eight Villages.

Hearing that their situation was not much different from what I expected, I was immediately relieved a lot.

I haven't been able to talk to Pan Guanghai yet, I don't want anything to happen to him, as for Pan Guanglong, he is completely innocent, if he doesn't believe me, no matter how bold he is, he won't dare to go up the mountain with me.

With his physique, he was first taken by the general's soul, and he has not completely recovered, and then he was taken by Pan Guanghai's daughter-in-law, there shouldn't be much of a problem, what I'm most worried about is that I still fall into the ditch, in case I break his waist and have a concussion or something, it will be troublesome.

Since it's just a fork, there's no need to worry about anything.

I just came to my senses, but I found that my mother was still looking at me with that complicated and slightly dull look, and even my grandfather didn't look like he was smiling, and he couldn't help but "chuckle" lightly in his heart.

"Niannian, can you tell your mother honestly, what happened to you at Pan Guanghai's daughter-in-law's grave last night?" I wasn't sure why they were so serious, so my mom wiped the corners of her eyes and asked.

"Could it be that what they just told me was false, when something bad happened?" I was slightly stunned, and then quickly asked, is there something wrong with my dad?

Compared with Pan Guanglong and Pan Guanghai, what I am more worried about is undoubtedly something wrong with my father.

If something really happens to him, I can't forgive myself.

My mom snorted slightly, still staring at me in a daze, obviously trying to say so much that I didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing that my expression began to become solemn, but my mother refused to speak, it was rare to be much more sober, and my grandfather, who was relatively calmer, sighed softly and said to me: "Xiao Nian don't worry, your dad is fine, it will be fine after a few days of rest, your mother, I am worried because you lied to coax her......"

When I heard that this was the case, I breathed a long sigh of relief.

Just, how did my mom know I was lying?

Although the old wizard came to see us when I was in a fever and coma, with this old man's calm and calm heart, even if he could see what was happening to us, it was unlikely that he would still say it to cause people to worry when he knew that I was deliberately concealing it.

Since he didn't say it, and Pan Guanglong Pan Guanghai fainted at the time, even if he woke up, he couldn't say anything, then it was only possible that my dad was talking nonsense, or he leaked his mouth when he woke up.

Seeing that I was confused, my grandfather didn't say anything anymore, got up and picked up a small mirror on the bedside table, and leaned in front of my face, "Look at your neck for yourself, it looks really scary." ”

When I looked in the mirror, I saw that my neck was bruised and swollen, and there were still a few finger prints, which looked much worse than hanging.

It's to say that this neck, how can it hurt as if it was about to be torn inside and out, it turns out that this is the case! Why did you forget that Pan Guanglong was choked by the neck, pressed into the water and tried to drown me, and I felt that my neck was almost broken by him?

Not only was he choked my neck, but I was also resented by Pan Guanghai's daughter-in-law, who stuck my neck and lifted it up, even if she was just a "gas" and had no real entity, but I was a living flesh and blood, and it was impossible to think about it without leaving traces.

"Your neck is like this, and your dad is also a little bruised, so what happened to you in that place?" After I saw clearly, my grandfather took back the mirror and asked again.

At this time, my mother also eased up, her eyes were slightly red, and she looked at me with a complicated expression and said, "Niannian, my mother is worried that you are not doing well outside, but what is more worried is that you are alone outside, even if there is something, you will not tell your family honestly." I'm your mother, you're the meat I fell, what else, you don't let your mother know anything, is it even more worrying? ………… You just came back this time, and you made it like this, and I don't know what kind of things have happened to you when you are so far away alone......"

As he spoke, he wiped the corners of his eyes.

Listening to it, I started to have a bit of a sour nose too.

If you think about it carefully, in order not to worry my mother and them in the past few years, I rarely take the initiative to talk to them about those things in the provincial capital, even if my mother sometimes asks, I just pick up a light way and change the topic little by little. Although I hid it from them in order to reassure them, their biggest worry was that they didn't know anything about the world I was in, and they didn't know anything about what I often experienced.

For a while, I was a little confused, and I didn't know how to deal with such a scene.

was hesitating, whether to simply tell what happened last night, my mother wiped her eyes again, sighed and said, "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, Mom won't ask, Mom knows, you didn't say it to make us worry...... You lie down and don't move, Mom will give you some medicine. ”

As he spoke, he sat down on the edge of the bed and picked up the ointment and gauze that had been prepared on the bedside table.

Waiting for her in silence, carefully disinfecting my neck with alcohol, applying the ointment, and starting to wrap gauze again, I still told me about last night's events, 1510.

Even if I don't say it, my mother will definitely ask my dad when I look back, rather than let him know a little bit and the confused "explanation" is not clear, it is better for me to simply say it in detail, so that my mother can have a little bottom in my heart.

I could easily summon the spirit of the general, whom people regarded as gods, to help me, and other equally powerful helpers, and if I could explain to my mother what I had learned from the old man, I would have made her worry less.

As for being choked by Pan Guanglong and rolling in the water, it was just an accident, and I had never put myself in such a dangerous situation.

After listening to me, my mother was still frightened and worried, but it was much better than the previous anxiety that she knew nothing about me, at least she already knew what I was doing.

Especially after hearing that I was not "fighting" alone, but had a more powerful helper than me, this woman who was worried about me almost all the time felt a lot more at ease, and she could laugh a little bit.

After telling me some more words, I can't take risks like this easily in the future, and I can't act rashly if I am not sure enough, and the time is almost evening.

Then my mother went downstairs to cook, and talked to my grandfather and a few elders who knew that I had woken up and went upstairs to come to see, and after they all went downstairs, I called Zhang Xiaowei again.

I have only been changing my mobile phone for a short time, and I have completely stopped cooking, and I haven't had time to go into the city to buy a new one, so the new mobile phone that Zhang Xiaowei gave my mother is temporarily for my use.

As soon as the phone rang twice, Zhang Xiaowei answered it and asked me in a somewhat worried tone, why can't I get through on the phone for a day, is something happening?

She will also go back to her hometown tomorrow, and the night just passed, she almost lost her life, and naturally she can't tell her anymore, so I said, what will happen in my hometown, that is, I drank too much with my elders last night, and accidentally threw my mobile phone into the water, which was completely broken, and I didn't have time to buy it again.

Hearing that this was the case, Zhang Xiaowei was relieved, and then asked me again: "What's wrong with you?" Why does the sound sound weird, is it a cold? ”

I smiled and replied, yes, it's not like I drank too much last night, and when I got home, I fell into the ditch on the side of the road, got my clothes wet, and my phone fell into the water and I didn't find it, and I caught a cold when I came back.

Drunk and falling into the ditch, any woman will not feel so happy when she hears that her man is drinking like this, and Zhang Xiaowei is no different, and immediately complained.

I was worried that if I continued to talk, I would be exposed, so after scratching my head and smiling and saying a few words, I turned against the guest and asked about her situation in the provincial capital, especially whether Yuan Jinzhu's rotten phone was connected.

Before asking, I already felt that if Yuan Jinzhu really went with the old man, it was unlikely that the phone would be connected so quickly, and this is exactly the case, Zhang Xiaowei quickly said no, she and Sister Yun had already run to the small courtyard twice, and my master did not have any signs of coming back.

I couldn't see the old man, Yuan Jinzhu's whereabouts were unknown, and my mobile phone suddenly couldn't get through, no wonder she was a little anxious when she answered the phone.

Although I have already guessed that the old man is very likely to be taking Yuan Jinzhu to solve Luo Wenxin's affairs, don't worry too much, and don't let the old man be distracted by other things, but, Leng Buding suddenly found that the long-looking Yan puppet may appear again, I still want to tell the old man this information quickly, and let him tell me what to do.

Since there is no news at all, and there is no contact at all, I can only do it first.

So I put away my thoughts, and talked to Zhang Xiaowei on the phone for a while, and learned that she would go back to her hometown at noon tomorrow, and after some of them were poor for a while, they hung up the phone.

I don't know if I was really anxious, or I wanted to verify something, but after lying on the bed and thinking for a while, I turned out Luo Wenxin's number and called him.

Sure enough, the phone has also been shut down.

With a slightly unwilling mentality, I opened up his landline at home again.

This time, it worked, and soon someone answered the phone, it was the young nanny named Xiaoyu.

There was no tentative nonsense, and after Xiaoyu heard that it was me, I asked her, "Do you know where Uncle Luo has gone, why can't the phone get through?" ”

Xiaoyu replied: "Where did Uncle Luo go, I don't know, he went out at seven o'clock in the evening of the second day after he went to your side and came back, and he hasn't come back since then...... I originally thought that if I didn't come back in two days, I would call and ask you, Uncle Luo is not in good health now......"

They were all gone on the afternoon of my return, and it seemed that they must have been together.

It's just that the old man drove me back without saying anything, and took Yuan Jinzhu with him and disappeared with Luo Wenxin, what are you going to do, and how to deal with Luo Wenxin's affairs, and him?

Hanging up the phone, I couldn't help but start pondering......

Although my neck was wrapped in gauze, and I inhaled cold air in pain when I touched the nerves a little, but after putting away my thoughts, I gritted my teeth and climbed up, went to my parents' bedroom to look at my father, and made sure that he was generally fine, that is, under the erosion of yin and cold, the cold and fever were more serious than before, and after a few days of rest, I could recover, and then slowly went downstairs.

Seeing that I was like this and still refused to stop, my mother couldn't help but complain again, but there was no other way.

After I roughly told the real experience last night, she also knew that Pan Guanghai's daughter-in-law's affairs were not over, and now was not the time to rest.

After dinner, I watched TV for a while, and waited until after nine o'clock, so that my worried mother didn't have to worry, and I came back in a while, and went out slowly.

When he came to last night's place, Xiao Qinghe had indeed been waiting with the white-faced scholar for a while.

After saying hello and saying a few words, I went straight to the point and asked Xiao Qinghe if he had any specific gains when he returned last night.
