279. March
After the third attempt, the vocal cords finally vibrate, but the sound that came out startled even me, like an old woman. Suddenly I thought of something, and I intuitively touched my face, and when I was sure that my face was smooth and wrinkle-free, I breathed a sigh of relief. My mind was looked at by Xu Jianglun, he sat on the edge of the bed and smiled lightly: "Don't worry, in addition to the lack of qi and blood, you are still young and beautiful." ”
Obviously, he didn't mean to be ridiculous, but I was a little embarrassed by what he said. Thinking about it instead, he had a vague encouraging attitude just now because he was afraid that I wouldn't be able to speak? When he had deposited his strength and spoke again, although his voice was low, he still asked the doubts in his heart: "Who did you arrest?" Xu Jianglun pursed his lips and looked at him with a cold gaze, "If I say that they were beaten up, what do you think?" ”
"Impossible!" I bite three words hard.
He laughed sarcastically: "If you are so sure, why do you still ask?" Is he omnipotent in your heart? ”
I was silent and glanced away, in fact, at this time the speech was very laborious, and the vibration of the vocal cords made my throat very painful, but I still bit the words in a low voice: "It's not omnipotent, it's the belief that evil is invincible." ”
Xu Jianglun laughed, but the smile was not as good as the bottom of his eyes, vaguely containing anger, he raised his voice and asked: "Who is evil and who is right?" Do you think he's innocent? Xia Zhu, let me tell you, compared to scheming, he is on par with me, and I even sigh to myself in some aspects, if he acts from my point of view, he will only be more ruthless than me, at least I will not easily discard you. ”
My heart shook, my eyes widened, and I suddenly didn't want to listen to that mouth to continue. But the topic opened, which annoyed Xu Jianglun again, and his eyes showed cruelty, "How did I find you a month ago?" You slept alone in his cave, and he and the rest were nowhere to be seen. After bringing you back, I prepared everything and waited for him to come as a 'guest', and I didn't think that there was no movement for a whole month, which was really boring. ”
It's a little unbelievable, I was alone in the cave in Gaocheng and was brought back by Xu Jianglun? Thought that there had never been a rush or a fierce fight? Maybe because I slept for too long, the shadow in the dream sank too deeply, so that the memory before falling asleep was blurred, but at least I still remember the fact that Ah Man was left alone in the cave to recuperate due to a foot injury, why was I the only one left?
Suddenly, my head ached, and the more I tried to remember it, the more intense the pain became. Originally, Xu Jianglun's clear face became blurred, blinking, as if even the figure had disappeared. I was stunned, didn't I come out of the shadow in my dream, the conversation with Xu Jianglun just now was all an illusory scene? I vaguely heard someone whispering in my ear, and the surrounding sound made my head hurt more and more, but there was hope in my heart, there was someone next to me, maybe Xu Jianglun was real, not my delusion.
But I tried to blink several times, but my vision was blurry and I couldn't see clearly, and my heart gradually sank to the bottom. for I can discern the low howl...... From my mouth, I was screaming uncontrollably. When my consciousness gradually blurred, some fragments also came back to my mind, and I remember an uncertain scene: I fell asleep on Gao Cheng's back, which day was it?
Sinking with doubts, it was like a chip was inserted into the brain, and when I opened my eyes again, the program started, and the first thing that came into my brain was that question. But then a new suspicion appeared, if Xu Jianglun is fake, then I am really a demon, everything has become nothing, how can I say one day?
The possibilities are expanding infinitely, especially when I can't feel the slightest outsider in the dark, and I'm scared. After all, was I manipulated by the demons first? And so these illusions, illusions, and falsehoods were created...... It's not that once you are dominated by the demons, then you will have no nostalgia for the world, what is the reason why I feel a faint pain in my heart when I think of Gao Cheng at this time?
In the blink of an eye, Xu Jianglun's anxious face appeared in the field of vision, he held me in the crook of his arm, his lips squirmed, and there was anger in his eyes, but the anger was not on me. I didn't faint? Was all the flash just a moment?
Vaguely, a voice from the outside world came back to his ears, analyzing it word by word, and it was Xu Jianglun who asked over and over again: "Xia Zhu, what's wrong with you?" I felt that my temples were swollen and painful, and my eyes suddenly seemed to see another shadow, and my breath was like a gossamer: "Painting shadows into demons, I can't tell the difference between real and false." Swallowing the last word, the soreness spread from the nose to the corners of the eyes, and fluid slipped down.
Xu Jianglun called Qu Xinhua over and did various examinations on me, he was in an impetuous mood next to him and his face was gloomy. When the examination was over, he hurriedly asked me what the situation was, and Qu Xinhua looked at me and said, "She is still failing." ”
Xu Jianglun was furious: "Didn't you say that as long as a person wakes up, he can stop the failure?" ”
Qu Xinhua lowered his eyes and replied lightly: "It's just possible." With a bang, Xu Jianglun kicked a chair at his feet and flew out, and he shouted angrily: "Get out!" After Qu Xinhua left, he looked at me viciously, leaned in front of my face and pulled up my shirt, and said with hatred: "Why do you want to make yourself look like this for him?" For him, even his life is risked away, do you really love him so much? ”
I opened my lips slightly and made a lip shape: "Love." ”
Xu Jianglun shook me off and rushed out of the house like the wind, and there was a cracking sound of ping-pong outside the house. Listening to it, I thought numbly: If I were one of those things, smashed on the ground and turned into pieces, I should soon feel no pain.
How long is left? I was trapped in Chengxiao's house for a month, and it was almost half a month to embark on the journey to cross the river, and then if it was not a phantom at the moment, then I was asleep for another month.
It's a good calculation, half a year, I've wasted three months, and there are still three months left......
When Xu Jianglun entered the house again, his hair was slightly damp, his anger had dissipated, and he was cold, leaning over to straighten the chair that had been kicked over before and sit down. Two meters away from me, staring at me quietly.
The silence is what I break, whether it is a false image or not, since the script is arranged as such, let's follow the script. I asked, "How many days did you find me in the cave after I arrived by boat?" ”
I can't remember the exact date, so I just asked directly. He replied, "The next day." My heart trembled, and I asked again, "Is it day or night?" "Evening."
The timing is coincidental.
The first day after arriving on the shore was in the evening, Gao Cheng took me to Chu City at night, and when I came back at dawn, I learned that Ah Man was injured, and then I fell asleep until noon, and found the afterimage in the mirror. After that, Gao Cheng took me to the empty island by boat to find memories, and carried me through the forest, until I finally fell into a sinking and it was dusk.
"You can rest, if you have any questions, you will ask when you have the strength to speak."
I rolled over and fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up, there was a pungent smell of medicine in the air, and in a blink of an eye, I saw a small stove resting at the head of the bed, and a casserole was placed on it, which was steaming, and the fragrance undoubtedly came out of it. With a flick of his eyes, he saw the figure standing with his back in front of the window, he turned around and glanced at it, approached and lifted the lid of the casserole, and put a bowl of porridge out and put it down. After helping me to sit up from the bed, he picked up the porridge, and saw if this gesture was trying to feed me?
When the spoon was brought to my lips, I didn't open my mouth and looked at him silently.
He didn't shrink his hand, as if he was waiting patiently. I lowered my eyes and swept over the yellowish porridge and asked, "Is this a life-sustaining recipe with Qiu Yuebai?" After a slight pause for two seconds, he retracted his hand and read lightly: "15 grams of astragalus, 30 grams of angelica, and 50 grams of japonica rice." First, add water to astragalus and angelica and boil twice, fry for 30 minutes over low heat after each boiling, combine 1000 ml of medicinal juice, and then boil the medicinal juice and japonica rice together. This porridge is specially designed to nourish people who do not produce blood, dizziness, palpitations, insomnia, and dreams. ”
I thought about it, raised my hand to take the bowl, scooped up the porridge myself, and sipped it gently. It didn't take long for the bowl to bottom, I don't know if it was because I ate too many dry cakes in the dream before, and the slightly bitter medicinal porridge also felt sweet, and the body was warm.
Secretly drifted his eyes at the casserole that was still boiling, and immediately heard Xu Jianglun saying: "It's not advisable to eat too much at one time, and I'll serve you another bowl in an hour." I retracted my gaze in embarrassment, and before I could think about it, I heard Xu Jianglun suddenly call: "Xia Zhu." When he looked up at him, he saw a look in his dark eyes, and he said, "I felt scared for the first time. Once I sank to the bottom of the lake, death beckoned to me, and I was still able to escape death with perseverance; After that, he plotted step by step, took Ning Ransheng down and replaced him as a rakshasa, and never frowned regardless of whether he won or lost; But this time, seeing you groaning in pain from your confused mind, I panicked. ”
Originally, I couldn't arouse too much emotion when I heard him say this, but when I heard his next sentence is: "You slept for three more days...... I was stunned. He reached out and brushed away the hair that fell from my cheeks, "I know that Qiu Yuebai's method brings yin and evil, if it is really feasible, you are not the original you." ”
I lowered my eyes, looked at my thin fingers fixedly, and said lightly: "Xu Jianglun, I'd rather die than become a monster." He smiled, his voice squeezed with cruelty: "I'd rather you're a monster than let you die." So Xia Zhu, you have to fight for yourself, don't force me to really take that step. ”
The atmosphere was stagnant, and then it was Xu Jianglun who proposed to take me out to break the deadlock. I don't know where he got a wheelchair, and after carrying me inside, he pushed me out of the door. It was a little cold outside, but I was wrapped in a thick cotton coat, my hands were tucked into my sleeves, and I was wrapped in a scarf and hat, and I was fully armed, and I didn't feel too cold. The whole piece of equipment should be Xu Jianglun's, and I look very petite when I shrank inside, but it's just warm.
Silent all the way, I carefully observed my surroundings and reaffirmed that this was the island where I had lived. Sort of, my home...... When the house in my dream appeared in front of me, I held my breath, noticed the gaze above my head, and asked quietly, "What is this island?" He said lightly, "You must wonder in your heart why these houses are separated, not like the island where you stayed before. Because this is a training base, each room represents a faction, and there will be a centralized venue in front of it for the acceptance of training results. ”
Thinking about it, I asked the question I would have asked at this moment: "What to train?" ”<
