Chapter 125: It's like a dream
I arrived at the old ghost's doorstep, but it all made me feel that something was wrong. But when I saw the familiar door, I knew that everything before me might be my delusion.
As soon as I pushed the door open, I saw Po curled up at the end of the bed with a frightened face.
"Po!" I didn't have time to find out what was going on, but the joy of seeing Po's sober appearance diluted everything.
I rushed forward to hug him so I knew it wasn't my hallucination.
But Po seemed to have been touched by something bad, he quickly shrank back, looked at me timidly with big eyes, and then turned into a frightened look on his face.
"You dodge, you dodge! Po is not afraid of you, Po is not afraid of you! "I saw him curled up as hard as he could, wishing he could be in a ball.
As for his eyes, they were full of fear.
"Bao, take a good look, I'm your sister Chu." I spoke to him in the gentlest tone of my life, and looking at the way he looked, I knew that he couldn't stand the stimulation.
"Sister Chu?" He didn't know if he was asking me or himself.
The horror in his eyes gradually dissipated somewhat.
I slowly approached him, afraid that he would make any other moves.
Fortunately, this time he did not show obvious resistance.
Just as I was about to touch him, he stepped back, as if instinctively resisting my approach.
I felt a little hurt.
"Isn't this Zhoushan?" I heard Po's question, but it made me feel a little strange.
"Not Zhoushan?"
Po's eyes lit up, and she seemed to hear the answer she wanted to hear.
"It's really not Zhoushan."
I looked at her eyes and didn't look at me, but seemed to be projected somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
"There are a lot of snakes on this mountain, and Po hates snakes the most. Why do you have to be a Baolai Buzhou Mountain? ”
He looked aggrieved.
I wanted to hug him and comfort him, but what he said didn't seem like he was saying something crazy, but it made me feel a little uneasy.
I stopped at the head of the bed and didn't try to touch him again.
"Sister Chu, where are you? Come and save Bao. There are a lot of snakes here, Bao is so afraid, Bao doesn't like snakes, they look cold and cold, and there is an alchemy furnace. Po doesn't want to be refined......"
Po's voice gradually became crying.
A pair of big eyes were already full of tears.
I looked at him with such a pitiful look, and I couldn't think about his resistance before.
"Po, I'm here. Your Sister Chu is here. Now there are no snakes here, and there are no alchemy furnaces. You can rest assured. ”
Po was still sobbing, as if he had never felt such a terrifying thing.
I slowly approached him and took him in my arms.
This time, Po didn't back down, nor did he push me away.
He was trembling, obviously frightened.
His hand was clenched tightly, and I could feel the pain in his palm.
"Shall we let go of our hands? There is nothing here. There's nothing you had before, nothing you've been worried about. Bao, everything before was just a nightmare, don't think about it anymore, okay? ”
It seemed that my voice was really effective, and Po gradually relaxed, and his tightly clenched hands slowly relaxed.
"Sister Chu, help me!" A painful look flashed on his face, "Sister Chu, help me!" His face suddenly turned pale, and there were already dense beads of sweat on his head, obviously frightened.
"I'll save you, no matter what it takes. I'm going to get you out. Bao, don't worry. ”
I looked at him, and even in his sleep he was in such pain, and when he woke up, he was no longer in the spirit and excitement of his past. I felt a pang of pain in my heart, and if it weren't for saving me, he wouldn't have been like this.
I hugged him and started humming the lullabies I had heard as a child.
I held him in my arms, and although it was still a little difficult, I could barely hold it.
When I was a child, I remember my grandmother, and it seems to be in my memory, and that's how my grandmother lulled me to sleep.
The pained expression on the baby's face faded, as if he was being soothed by my promises. Slowly, his eyes closed and his breathing became calmer. It seems that the fearful person who went crazy before has gone.
"Chu Xinyi." In a trance, I seemed to hear a familiar voice.
It's just that my memory has become a little sluggish, and I haven't remembered who the owner of this voice is for a long time.
Until I felt a pair of cold hands on my shoulders.
I saw Po in my arms disappear all at once.
"Chu Xinyi, no matter what you saw before, it's all an illusion. It was a snake demon's henchman casting a spell to show you a phantom circle. You've been tricked! ”
I heard a constant buzzing in my ear, but I didn't understand what he meant.
I always felt that there was something wrong with what he said, and I could understand the words separately, but when they were put together, why didn't I understand what he was saying?
"Ji Zixuan?" I shouted the name with some hesitation.
I'm not sure if the man in front of me is him.
"How are you? Is that formation any harm to your body? I looked at him and touched my body very anxiously.
But I was at a loss for him.
"Why are you here?" Before I knew it, I was asking.
"I didn't see you when I went back before, so I was a little worried, so I came looking for you. I know, you're most worried about Po. When he said the last sentence, he was still a little hesitant. There was still a bit of unwillingness in the final tone.
"Po?"
When I think about seeing him before, Po begins to repulse everything. And the words he said about the mountain, snake, alchemy furnace and the like, those words kept churning in my head, as if I wanted to string together a picture, but there was always something missing.
"It's all a thousand-year-old snake spirit's ploy." Ji Zixuan's tone was very anxious, but I seemed to understand, he seemed to have misunderstood something.
I didn't explain, what I promised Bao before, I would definitely do it myself.
"I must kill the thousand-year-old snake spirit!" I felt more conscious than ever.
"Xinyi, what's wrong with you?" Ji Zixuan looked at me.
My gaze slowly shifted to him. That's when I noticed that he had a lot of scars on his body. Even the clothes were torn. I don't know what I've been through these days, and I don't even care about the dress he always values the most.
"Millennial snake spirit! I must kill the thousand-year-old snake spirit. "I'm going to babble on and on as if this has become my only obsession.
Ji Zixuan accompanied me carefully.
"Xinyi, it's okay now. The people you were worried about before are all right now. "I could hear him, but I didn't know why, I just felt a wave of exhaustion, and I didn't want to pay attention to him.
"Chu Xinyi, can you hear me?" I heard his roar, and I didn't know why, but I still didn't want to pay attention to him.
"Chu Xinyi, can you open your eyes and see? I'm right there with you. Look at it again, don't go on like this. I'm worried about you, do you know? His voice gradually lowered, and there was already a hint of supplication in the back.
My heart fluctuated a little, but I still remembered the obsession of killing the thousand-year-old snake spirit.
"Shall I take you for a walk?" He looked at me cautiously, and the movements couldn't have been softer. It's as if I'm a doll that shatters when touched. I looked at him and wanted to put a smile on my face. But I can't even laugh now.
I'm like a puppet, but maybe unlike those puppets, I'm a conscious puppet. Wait until I wake up. I won't be the same anymore, but I don't want to wake up.
He took me to a small hill.
The wind here is blowing softly, and it seems that there is no longer the depression before, and my mood is slowly getting better.
I turned my head sideways and looked at Ji Zixuan sitting next to me.
Actually, he was fine, I think of that night, in the swamp of death. Even though he knew that he was facing a powerful snake demon in front of him, Ji Zixuan never thought of giving up on me, and even when he could obviously give the snake demon a fatal blow, he gave up, I knew that he was because of me, and my heart was never as clear as it was at this moment.
There are also some quiet floating grasses on this small hill that are blown by the wind. I could look at it all coldly. It seems that these things have all been lost.
I don't know why, when I saw Ji Zixuan, I could still think of those scenes before, and I could even remember his movements and his sweat beads. My heart gradually settled down and softened.
It's just that I subconsciously still want to escape.
I can't remember why we had so many twists and turns. But this time I saw it very clearly.
I looked at him, and his figure never seemed to change. Since that coffin, there has been an inextricable fate between us.
At first, I just thought this person was using me, but now, I'm not as sure as I used to be.
This uneasiness drove me a little crazy, and a voice kept saying to me, "Be reconciled." It was originally for an unimportant person, why did he always push him so far? ”
But a voice kept appearing in my heart: "No, you can't agree, how did your mother misunderstand Ah Bao before." And he didn't want Po to wake up at all! ”
My head hurts. These two thoughts kept intertwining in my mind.
"Xinyi, you sit here. I'll go get you something to eat. ”
I sat still, not moving.
He gave me a helpless look and turned away.
