Sixth, downfall
The man in gray froze on the spot, and reluctantly pulled his hat, revealing a handsome face. It's just the stubble on the face, a little bit vicissitudes.
Sure enough, it was Zhao Yuankang, who had been missing for two years.
"You...... You're finally back. Li Ruoxi was saddened and hid his face and wept.
For two years, she has always believed that he is still alive. She endured loneliness and self-blame, despite her family's opposition, and waited for him to return.
She still remembers that day, when the tide of ghosts struck, he sacrificed his life to rescue her, and she could not forget his unwilling desperate eyes when he fell.
His last heart-rending cry was deeply imprinted in her heart.
So, even if he deliberately changed his tone and screamed, she could still make out his voice.
"You kid, it really scared me, I said, you don't die so easily!"
The prince stepped forward happily, patted Zhao Yuankang's shoulder, and saw his brother for many years, standing in front of him alive, it was really an indescribable emotion.
"Hehe, you guy, I haven't seen you for two years, and you're a lot stronger, and your skills are better."
Zhao Yuankang still showed his smile as gentle as the sun, making this ghostly night no longer so mad.
"Hey, don't you say it, I forgot, your skills just now, but it's even more powerful? What have you been through in the past two years? ”
The two fought just now, and in one round, Wang Zixiang was defeated, it can be said that Zhao Yuankang's martial arts are far above him. This is simply shocking for the weak scholar at the beginning.
"Xiangzi, we can't talk nonsense with you in this wilderness. Besides, you can get me some crispy fish, **ah, it's too stingy, right? ”
Zhao Yuankang pointed to the few remaining drinks and dishes on the ground, and pretended to complain angrily.
"Hehe, without these drinks and dishes, I'm afraid I won't be able to bring back your soul. Let's go, buddy, please have a big dinner. ”
The two saw each other after saying goodbye, and they were happy, and pulled Li Ruoxi to find a hotel to reunite.
Zhao Yuankang chose a restaurant called Zhuangyuanlou next to the toddler bridge, which was the restaurant he had been coming to a few years ago, but he didn't expect it to be still there, but the vicissitudes of life and personnel were completely changed.
The three of them only ordered a cold and two hot soup, and began to ask him about his experience in the past two years.
"I was swept up in the tide by the Ghost King Tide that time, and I almost lost my life!"
He took a sip of wine and mentioned the ghost king tide, and he still has lingering palpitations.
"I was swept up by the waves, and I don't know how many miles. Fortunately, I was met by a team of fishermen who went out to sea and rescued me ashore, and after two days of treatment, I was able to pick up a life. ”
He said it lightly, but Wang Zixiang has always known his character of reporting good news and not bad news, thinking about it, he has suffered a lot of crimes, otherwise, he would not have been wandering for two years before coming back.
"Then why didn't you come back to me?" Li Ruoxi asked timidly.
"Hey, although I picked up a life at that time, my body was very weak and my consciousness was relatively blurred. For a long time, I didn't know who I was or how I got there. ”
Zhao Yuankang smiled bitterly and said that this plot in the movie was actually encountered by him.
"It took me more than half a year to gradually regain my memory and become familiar with the environment. But I don't have any money on me, and I can't always rely on my fellow villagers for help. I helped them to go to restaurants along the coast to sell and negotiate seafood supply business. Not only did I help the local fishermen to visit the sales channels, but also made me a lot of income. ”
He spoke eloquently about the hardships of being in a foreign land. The differences in folk customs, climate, and humanity between the north and the south are not so easy to change.
You can't change, you can only survive if you are flexible and adaptable.
"I often sit at the mouth of the Qiantang River, looking north, thinking about my mother, my younger brother, and you at home. But I know that you want a better me back. ”
Zhao Yuankang said with a firm look in his eyes, in the past two years, going home has been his persistent belief, but being strong is the goal he is chasing.
"After my health improved, after more than a year of experience and accumulation, I earned some capital, and this time I can come back and start my own business here." Zhao Yuankang said with emotion.
"And how much money do you have now?" Wang Zixiang's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.
"I won't talk about the specific number, anyway, I bought a car of seventy or eighty thousand, and the rest is enough to buy a small villa."
"Yes, you didn't fall into the water in vain, but you were blessed by misfortune."
"Brother, I bought it with my life, don't talk about it, drink!"
The two laughed and continued to drink, Li Ruoxi was holding dishes for Zhao Yuankang on the side, looking at his eyes with infinite tenderness.
After dinner, Zhao Yuankang found a small three-story hotel nearby, asked Wang Zixiang to wait for him here, he drove Li Ruoxi back to her rented apartment, and then returned to the hotel to talk with this old friend.
The two chatted until more than twelve o'clock, and they were both sleepy, so they turned off the lights and went to sleep.
In the middle of the night, Wang Zixiang felt a rush to urinate, got up and turned on the light, but found that Zhao Yuankang's bed was empty.
He didn't think too much about it, hurried to the toilet, and solved the problem happily.
He was sobered up a lot by a cool breeze, looked out the window, and caught a glimpse of a figure flickering, as if it was Zhao Yuankang.
It's so late, what is he doing outside? Wang Zixiang put on his clothes, quietly walked out of the hotel, and slowly approached the figure.
The man had his back to him, his feet apart, his head raised to the sky, and he made a whirring sound.
Judging from the body shape, this person is undoubtedly Zhao Yuankang.
What is he doing? Could it be...... Wang Zixiang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
There are rumors of the transformation of the werewolf Xiaoyue in foreign countries, and there are legends of zombies sucking the moon and demon foxes worshipping the moon in China.
A faint ray of moonlight slanted down and flowed into Zhao Yuankang's body. His back slumped together, and he shook his head as if he was feeling uncomfortable.
Wang Zixiang fell backwards in shock, stepped on a stone under his feet, and staggered and fell to the ground.
Zhao Yuankang was startled by the sound and turned around.
I saw that his face was as white as paper, the corners of his mouth twitched, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his lips, and a mouthful of true qi leaked out, and he fell to the ground.
"Yuanyasu, what's wrong with you?" Wang Zixiang couldn't be afraid, so he hurriedly went over to help Zhao Yuankang, took out the paper, and wiped the blood off him.
"Let's go, let's go back first." The two walked briskly into the hotel, returned to their rooms, and closed the door.
The two sat on the sofa, Wang Zixiang poured him a glass of water, and lit a cigarette himself.
"Xiangzi, Ruoxi was there just now, I didn't dare to tell her. Back then, I fell into the tide of ghost kings, and I was really divided by ten thousand ghosts! ”
"What? Is it really that scary? Wang Zixiang's eyes widened, he had always thought that the ghost thing was just made up, but he didn't expect that Zhao Yuankang told him with his own experience that there are indeed sneaky things in the world.
"It's true, that Ghost King Tide is indeed haunted by the Ghost King of Hell and the Ghost King of Ten Thousand Ghosts. As soon as I fell into the water, I was bitten by ten thousand ghosts, and no matter how much I struggled, I could not escape the predicament of the huge waves. ”
Zhao Yuankang's voice was flat, drifting away in the dark night sky, although two years had passed, it still made him feel cold.
"Fortunately, at that time, several Taoist priests who suppressed the Ghost King Tide appeared in time, sacrificed the magic weapon, scared away the Ghost King, and barely saved seven or eight people, but I also had already injured my soul."
"When I woke up, it was already a month later, and I was taken to Longhu Mountain. A profound Taoist master, for me to calm the soul of the soul, but there is still a soul and a soul scattered outside, it is he who gave up a year of life, forcibly summoned the soul, only in the tide of Qiantang, detained that soul and a soul, deposited in my back. ”
"Later, I thanked him for worshipping and became an outer disciple, practicing some methods of breathing, and most importantly, the method of calming the soul and cultivating the soul."
"This method, with the Chiyun Pill as a guide, inhales the moonlight, nourishes the Chiyun Pill, enhances its spiritual power, and makes the soul more stable."
"Moreover, if it weren't for the breath released by this Red Cloud Pill, I'm afraid that a ghost would have come to snatch my soul long ago."
Zhao Yuankang finished telling Wang Zixiang about this sad past, then leaned back on the wide sofa, closed his eyes, and was as tired as if a thousand years had passed.
Wang Zixiang bowed his head and was silent for a long time, he didn't expect that in just two years, his best brother would go through so many things.
Only when people experience the real difficulties of life and death will they be enlightened, grown, and transformed.
Not to mention, it is the famous handsome pot in the entertainment industry - Hu Ge, if he hadn't experienced a car accident that almost killed and disfigured, he wouldn't have cherished opportunities, life and death, and friendship more.
He changed from the lively and carefree Li Xiaoyao to the far-sighted Jiang Zuo Meilang, which is also the course of his life.
Perhaps, Zhao Yuankang's experience is far more complicated than he described, but only people like him can be reborn and the king returns.
