Chapter 209: When I Wake Up
Zhou Xiaoning was lying on the bed in the intensive care unit, and compared with the previous two days, he seemed to be in good spirits at this time. Everyone, including Zhou Xiaoning's attending physician, thought that he was back to the light, but only he knew that he had just figured out some things.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoning's three children were all dragging their families outside the ward, ready to see him off for the last time. Thankfully, there was no bloody drama of fratricide for property in his family. The three children are very capable, and with their efforts, the company's business has reached overseas, and Zhou's company has entered the top 100 in the country, which makes any demanding father feel gratified.
Moreover, God seems to have handed over all the favor to the Zhou family, and among the grandchildren, there are also many young talents, who are simply envious of others.
After Zhou Xiaoning explained a few words to each of his sons and daughters and grandchildren, he waved them away, and for the next little time, he wanted to leave it to the woman who had accompanied him for a lifetime.
"Kexin, thanks to your company over the years, I have no regrets in my life."
Zhou Xiaoning took Lin Kexin's hand and said affectionately.
At this time, Lin Kexin's face was already full of wrinkles, but she could still vaguely see her appearance when she was young from between her eyebrows.
"Kexin, I've been busy with business all these years and have snubbed you, have you ever complained about me?"
Zhou Xiaoning looked at Lin Kexin, his eyes full of affection.
"No, never."
Lin Kexin endured her sadness, squeezed out a smile and said: "I know that you have worked so hard for this family, in order to give me and my children a better life, you have endured too much pressure alone, and I see all this." Every time I see you come back tired, I feel too late, how can I blame you. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoning was very relieved, he wanted to laugh twice to vent the joy in his heart, but his weak body only made him barely let out a few chuckles.
"Kexin, do you think I'm competent as a husband? Is it eligible as a father? You...... Happiness? ”
The more Zhou Xiaoning spoke, the softer his voice became, and in the end, it was almost like an insect chirping. However, Lin Kexin still "heard clearly", as a husband and wife who have been together for decades, Lin Kexin knows Zhou Xiaoning more than herself, and sometimes she doesn't have to say it at all, with a look, she can understand what Zhou Xiaoning wants to express.
"Yes, you are."
Lin Kexin forcibly held back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, and her old and delicate hand stroked Zhou Xiaoning's cheek and said: "In my eyes, you are the most competent husband and the most beloved father of the children, because of your existence, I enjoy happiness all the time, so, so ......"
Halfway through the words, Lin Kexin finally couldn't hold back and choked up.
"Yes, then my life is complete."
Zhou Xiaoning slowly closed his eyes, and his breathing, which had been absent, was interrupted, and even the electrocardiogram stopped rising and falling at this moment, leaving only a long line, telling the fact that the patient had died.
Although Zhou Xiaoning was already "dead", his consciousness did not dissipate, but came to a blood-red space and began to watch the discovery of the state of affairs from the perspective of a third party.
After Zhou Xiaoning's "death", his family held a simple funeral for him. With the current wealth of the Zhou family, this kind of funeral is obviously too shabby, but this is what Zhou Xiaoning confessed before his "death", because he didn't want to be at peace after "death".
After the funeral, Lin Kexin's mental state has not been very good, often holding the photo album of the two, looking at it for most of the day, and the corners of her mouth still show a smile from time to time, it seems that she recalls the happy times before.
Finally, five years later, Lin Kexin suffered a cold in a sudden cold wave, and her health deteriorated after that, and she persevered for more than two months, but finally failed to survive.
When she closed her eyes, Lin Kexin had a smile on her face, and she seemed to see Zhou Xiaoning coming to pick her up. Both of them have returned to their youthful appearance, just as they did when they first met......
"It's really a beautiful dream, I really didn't expect that I haven't forgotten her in the depths of my heart, no wonder people often say that first love is the most memorable. I didn't think it was right before, but now it seems that it is true. ”
Zhou Xiaoning sighed, in fact, as early as after he was stabbed by Lynch and fell unconscious, he had already realized that he should be in an extremely real illusion, and everything in the illusion was based on what he thought in his heart and evolved.
For example, the reason why Zhou Xiaoning felt that Lynch was familiar was because on the day the catastrophe came, Zhou Xiaoning saw that the man who was close to Lin Kexin was this Lynch.
Maybe Lynch's real name is not this, but it doesn't matter, after all, everything in the illusion is dominated by Zhou Xiaoning's subconscious, Zhou Xiaoning said that he is Lynch, he is Lynch, not either.
It's just that in reality, Lynch is gentle and elegant, the kind of man who will make girls feel very secure, if Lin Kexin can really be with him, he should be very happy.
It's just that the advent of the catastrophe broke all this, and after more than a year, I don't know what happened to Lin Kexin, is she still alive?
"If it's a sweet dream, why don't you keep doing it."
A somewhat ethereal voice sounded, and as he said, everything in the illusion is the manifestation of Zhou Xiaoning's innermost thoughts, as long as he wants, he can live with Lin Kexin for a long time, and even bring Baguio and others in, it is not impossible for everyone to live a shameless life together.
"No matter how good a dream is, it's just a dream, and there will be a time to wake up. I am very content to be able to make up for a regret in my heart and experience life, old age, sickness and death. ”
Zhou Xiaoning smiled indifferently, after walking in the illusion for such a while, Zhou Xiaoning felt as if he had obtained some kind of sublimation, and the whole person was well-thoughtd, if he comprehended the law at this time, the effect would definitely be twice the result with half the effort.
"Senior, you should be the remnant of the ancestral dragon, and the previous illusion should also be your test for me, I wonder if I passed?"
Zhou Xiaoning was calm and comfortable, and he didn't panic because he was in an unknown space and couldn't exert his source power, after all, if the owner of that voice really wanted to be unfavorable to him, he would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until now?
"Hahaha, funny little ghost. Yes, you have passed my test, you can use the blood of the ancestral dragon, even if you want to refine it, I will not stop it, but I advise you to do what you can, after all, even if there is no obstacle from me, it will be difficult to refine the blood of the ancestral dragon, so you can do it yourself. ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Xiaoning found that he was back in the cave again, and in front of him was a pool of turquoise spring water. In addition, there is a blood-colored amber and a pale blue glass ball suspended above the spring.
The blood-colored amber floats in the center of the spring, and the glass sphere revolves around it.
If Zhou Xiaoning didn't guess wrong, then the blood-colored amber should be the blood of the ancestral dragon, and something like a glass ball was the ability seed. As for the spring, it is believed to be the source of strength that supports this small world, and once the spring water dries up, the small world will cease to exist.
In this way, things will be difficult to do, although it is simple to collect the blood and ability seeds of the ancestral dragon, for Zhou Xiaoning, it is just a matter of hooking his fingers. But if these two things are lost together, the operation of the dragon vein will completely collapse, and it will be difficult for the small world to be preserved at that time.
This small world has been operating for hundreds of millions of years, and it has long had a complete self-system, and if it is destroyed like this, it will inevitably be too tyrannical.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoning did not rush to collect it, but withdrew from the cave.
When Baguio and the others saw Zhou Xiaoning coming out, they hurriedly greeted them, you must know that Zhou Xiaoning has been in the past three days and three nights, if it weren't for the fact that the blood connection between them had not disappeared, they really thought that Zhou Xiaoning had encountered some danger.
"I'm sorry to worry you, but I didn't come out safely, you can rest assured."
In order to reassure Baguio and the others, Zhou Xiaoning also turned around in place twice, not to mention the wound, not to mention the wound, not even much dust, what it looked like when it went in, and what it looked like when it came out.
"Boy, you came out so quickly, it seems like a failure. It doesn't matter, every dragon has three chances to try, you should rest well first and strive for success next time. ”
The figure comforted Zhou Xiaoning, in fact, he was more anxious than Zhou Xiaoning, you must know that at the beginning, his spirit body was almost the same as ordinary people, but as time went by, his spirit body was gradually consumed, until now, only a vague outline remained, and even his feelings were almost lost. It is conceivable that in the near future, he may not even be able to manifest his spirits. So before that day comes, he must find someone who can succeed him and protect the seed of ability, otherwise even if his soul is scattered, he will not be able to feel at ease.
Even, the figure has already prepared for the worst, if Zhou Xiaoning fails in the end, then he will let the Baguio girls also go in and try it, as long as they are recognized by the blood of the ancestral dragon, they will also be able to increase their strength in a short period of time, as long as there is no transcendental powerhouse to intervene, the seed of protection ability should be barely enough.
"That senior, in fact, I have succeeded. The reason why I came out this time is just to discuss one thing with you. ”
Zhou Xiaoning scratched his head a little embarrassed, Zhou Xiaoning remembered that the figure said that it took him more than nine years to get the recognition of the blood of the ancestral dragon, and Zhou Xiaoning only used three days, and there would be no harm if he didn't compare, Zhou Xiaoning really didn't want to say it in public, no matter what, the figure was his predecessor, and he couldn't be embarrassed, right?
"What! You've made it! ”
Sure enough, the figure was really frightened by Zhou Xiaoning's words, his feelings were only almost lost, but there was still a little bit left, in the case of great sorrow and joy, there would still be a reaction, just like now, he was already surprised to the extreme, and the strong emotional fluctuations made his body tremble violently, as if it would disperse at any time. 9.
