Chapter Seventy-Seven: Awakening from a Dream
"I'm damned, I'm damned......" I said distractedly, repeating these three words over and over again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Suddenly I felt a tightness in my chest, then a sweetness in my throat, a mouthful of blood gushing out of my mouth, and then I lost consciousness.
…………
"Wake up, little man, wake up......"
In a daze, I seemed to hear Chen Jing's voice, and when I opened my eyes, Chen Jing called me not far away, she was still wearing the wedding dress on our wedding day, still so beautiful.
"Wife, where have you been all these days? I miss you so much! I hurried over, fearing that she would be gone in a blink of an eye.
"Fool, I've always been there for you!" Chen Jing said to me with a smile.
"But you ...... that day"
"You were originally a cultivator, and you should have a more transparent view of life and death than others! Although we are not from the same world now, I have always been by your side and have never left! ”
"I don't care if we are from the same world or not, now that I finally see you, I will never let you leave me again!" As I spoke, I hugged Chen Jing.
Feeling the real Chen Jing in my arms, my heart was so excited that I couldn't get any more. The joy of losing and regaining it made me unable to speak, and I didn't want to speak, I just wanted to hold Chen Jing like this until the sky was barren and until I was old.
"You're holding it so tightly, I'm almost out of breath." Chen Jing said with a slight snort.
"I'm afraid that as soon as I let go, you'll leave me again."
"Didn't I say that? I won't leave you, don't you believe me? Chen Jing said with some grievances.
"Of course not!"
Although I was reluctant, I let go of Chen Jing.
"Look, I said I'm not leaving!" Chen Jing said softly.
Seeing that Chen Jing really didn't seem to leave me again, my heart settled down. In this way, Chen Jing and I spent a happy time together.
Until one day, Chen Jing suddenly said to me: "I also want to be with my little man all the time, but you have been with me for a long time, and you still have a lot of things to do outside." ”
"But I don't want to care about anything else, I just want to be with you." I said eagerly.
"How can this be? The old man's granddaughter is still waiting for you to save her! And Liu Xin, she is also waiting for you to save her! Besides, I'm not leaving you, I said, I've always been by your side, as long as you think of me, you can feel my presence. Chen Jing touched my cheek and said.
"However, my cultivation is gone, and I have no ability to save them." I said in a deep voice.
"Promise me never to give up! Take good care of yourself for my sake! Otherwise I'll be worried about you! ”
"Okay, I promise you!"
"Then you go back now, and finish what you should have done first. Don't be lazy, I'll keep an eye on you, and if you're lazy, I'll never see you again. Chen Jing said with a smile.
"Then you have to promise me that you will wait here for me to come back!"
"Hmm." Chen Jing nodded.
Once again, I just hugged Chen Jing and finally kissed her forehead. Chen Jing just smiled and looked at me, and then she got farther and farther away from me, farther and farther away, and finally disappeared.
"Wife......" I shouted hard, and then my consciousness blurred.
By the time I regained consciousness, I found myself in a hospital bed again.
"You finally woke up, Uncle Nine said that if you don't wake up today, you may never wake up." Guo Linger said with tears and laughter.
"How long have I been asleep?"
"From ...... It's been half a month since you started to be in a coma that day......" Guo Ling'er said cautiously, for fear of touching my pain.
"Chen Jing, she ......"
"Sister Jing has already left, her parents took her back to her hometown for burial, this is the ...... Sister Jing asked me to hand over to you before" Guo Ling'er whispered, and then she handed me Qiankun Yujue.
I cautiously took the jade jue and stared at it blankly for a long time without speaking. Then I solemnly put it on my neck, and I covered the jade jue with my hand, as if there was still this quiet breath on it.
"Oh...... In that case, let's go back too......" I said with a look of dismay.
After being confirmed by the doctor, Guo Linger helped me go through the discharge procedures. After I was discharged from the hospital, I went to find Wang Yongping first, after all, he had helped me a lot before, and there was an agreement between us.
However, after meeting Wang Yongping, he did not ask me to fulfill the agreement to compete with him, he said that the victory or defeat had already been known that night. To my surprise, he actually said a lot of comforting words to me, and then gave me the wedding photos of me and Chen Jing.
I gently stroked the photo in the frame, and looking at Chen Jing in the photo, my eyes were a little sour.
After coming out of Wang Yongping's place, I went to Uncle Jiu's again. I have mixed feelings about this Taoist senior, he saved my life, but he also took Chen Jing's life. Of course, he can't be blamed for that.
"Uncle Nine, I have a doubt. At that time, I burned my cultivation, and I was injured by the forbidden technique performed by the Heavenly Treasure Daoist, so logically speaking, I shouldn't even have the opportunity to perform the life-locking technique, but why ......" I asked suspiciously.
"I've been thinking about what you said since you bought something from me and left. Later, I decided to help you, but I was still a step too late. When I got there, I saw that girl being teleported out by you using the magic talisman, and the girl saw me and cried for me to save you. By the time we find you, your breath has been extremely weak, and your cultivation has burned out, so you should already know what happened next. What a good girl, it's a pity......" Uncle Nine said in a deep voice, and after he finished speaking, he let out a sigh.
Although I didn't get any valuable clues from Uncle Nine, I don't plan to pursue it, even if I know about some things, what can I do?
After leaving Uncle Nine, I went to the last place, Dongzi's house. After meeting Hades in the underworld, I told Hades about the situation of Dongzi's family. In the end, Hades promised me to let Dongzi return to Yang to take care of his parents, and wait until his parents were 100 years old to report back to the underworld.
Dongzi was very excited when he saw me, and he and his parents arranged a large table of dishes to greet me and Guo Ling'er. But my heart is very uncomfortable, why can I help others, but I can't let Chen Jing come back from the dead?
"Young man, why didn't the girl who came with you last time come? I heard our family Dongzi say that thanks to the girl who found out that our Dongzi was faked death at the funeral home, otherwise our family Dongzi really wouldn't have come back. While eating, Fuyuko's mother suddenly asked.
It turned out that Fuyuko told a lie in order to explain that he had come back from the dead, saying that he was in a state of suspended animation after going into shock due to seafood allergies. We found him out so he could wake up.
When I heard Dongzi's mother mention Chen Jing, my heart instantly became very heavy. I put my chopsticks down and said in a deep voice, "She's on a business trip." ”
When I left Dongzi's house, it was already dark outside, Guo Ling'er had been silently following behind me without talking, and she followed wherever I went.
We went to the train station and bought a ticket to City D tonight, the departure time was 23 o'clock in the evening, and when we arrived in City D, it was already 4 o'clock in the morning. Because it is neither the winter and summer vacations, nor the Spring Festival, there are relatively few people from City C to City D at night, and there are only two people in the square outside the railway station in City D and Guo Ling'er.
Time has lost its meaning to me, so I don't feel how fast or slow it passes. After dawn, Guo Ling'er and I found a small restaurant for breakfast, then went to the bus station to buy a ticket to the county seat, and finally took the bus from the county seat to the school.
Because Chen Jing had greeted the head teacher before, the head teacher just briefly understood the situation, and did not ask much else.
However, a few people in the class who have a good relationship with me will inevitably come to ask questions, but where am I in the mood to talk to them?
As soon as I sat down, the little fox jumped out of nowhere and jumped into my arms.
"Little fox, it's gone, how are you doing these days?" I asked as I gently touched the civet's smooth fur.
"You are embarrassed to say that your master is really good enough, you left the little fox and ran away, and there was no news for ten days and half a month. If it weren't for the hard work of the few of us taking care of the little fox these days, I'm afraid it would all starve to death! What's even more infuriating is the little fox, we have taken care of you for so long, and your master abandoned us as soon as he returned! A girl with whom I had a good relationship complained.
"Sister Minoru, thank you all these days!" I said to the complaining girl.
"What's wrong with you? Don't seem to be in a good mood? Tell Sister Minoru about something, maybe Sister Minoru can help you! ”
After listening to Sister Minoru's words, I was very moved, at least she really cared about me. I can't do anything about what bothers me, let alone her?
This girl I call "Sister Minoru" is one of the girls who have the best relationship with me, in fact, we had some misunderstandings at first, because I used to say the wrong thing and made her feel sorry for me, but then when we became table mates, the misunderstanding was solved, and since then our relationship has been very good.
In fact, Sister Minoru is a few months younger than me, but she has to ask me to call her sister, and I can't bear to refuse, so I keep calling her "Sister Minoru".
Sister Minoru is a very lively and cheerful girl, and she often says that "people who love to laugh are usually not very lucky". This optimistic personality of hers has subtly influenced many people, and I am one of them.
"Sister Minoru, I'm fine." I forced a smile to laugh.
"Alas, laughing so reluctantly! Forget it, for your sake, Sister Minoru, I won't embarrass you today. ”
After that, Minoru went to chat with some of her roommates. I sat alone in my seat and thought back to all these things that had happened over the years.
"Everything is like a dream, only now it's time to wake up! Maybe there's nothing wrong with being an ordinary person, it's bland. ”
