Chapter 18: The Return (3310 Monthly Pass Plus Update)
(The third update will be sent.) Then say something. We have very few monthly passes this month, and we are ranked ninth, which is the lowest ranking since it was launched. Panda is sad, can the brothers and sisters give a few more monthly passes? It's sad to look at such a low monthly pass ranking! )
I don't know if it's the inertia of the plot, or if this world is Charlotte's dream, and it's time to wake up.
On December 6, 2015, when Zuo Xiaoyou was enjoying family fun with his wife and daughter, Xiao Hei's prompt sounded in his mind: "Complete the main quest 2: Become a more successful singer than Charlotte before Charlotte dies." ”
"All the main quests are completed, the host's luck value is +1%, and the lottery chance is won once, and the watch space is expanded to 28 cubic meters. Does the host return immediately? If you do not return immediately, you will be forced to return after 24 hours. ”
Zuo Xiao's right brow tightened: "Don't return immediately." ”
"I'll go to the bathroom." After talking to his wife and children, he went into the bathroom.
"Blackie, what's going on?"
"Charlotte is dead." Xiao Hei said: "Car accident. ”
Without waiting for Zuo Xiaoyou to speak, Xiao Hei continued: "In 24 hours, this world will collapse. ”
Zuo Xiaoyou was silent for a moment and asked, "Is this world destined to end on this day from the beginning?" ”
"Yes." "When I first came to this world, I said that Charlotte's death was December 6, 2015. ”
"......I see," Zuo Xiaoyou smiled bitterly: "I thought it was wrong." ”
I thought that by extending Charlotte's life, I would be able to stay in this world for a while longer, but I didn't expect it......
If he had known this, he would not have ...... Alas!
"Will Sissi and Concubine Ai disappear too?" Zuo Xiaoyou asked.
"This in itself is Charlotte's dream, everything is illusory." Xiao Hei said: "It's just that your cultivation has been sealed, and you can't feel it." ”
"But the Great Dao Neijing worked." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "Qian Qian and I have both improved our cultivation, and there is also a concubine ......."
"Everything is an illusion." Xiao Hei said: "After leaving this world, you will find out. The cultivation you have recovered in this world is all illusory, and you are still that ordinary person without any mana. ”
Zuo Xiaoyou clenched his fists: "What did you say!?" ”
"Whether you accept it or not, that's the truth." Xiao Hei said: "But the eighteen years you have experienced are real, and I told you at the beginning that you will enjoy these eighteen years, and there will be no more." ”
“……”
Zuo Xiaoyou walked out of the bathroom, walked to his wife and children who were playing, and hugged them tightly.
"What's wrong?" has been married for many years, and Liu Tianxian is very familiar with Zuo Xiaoyou's behavior. But this is the first time in a situation like this, which makes her a little uneasy: "What happened? ”
"Nothing." Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head and said, "I suddenly miss my parents, I want to take you back to see the second elder." ”
"It should." Liu Tianxian nodded: "When are you leaving?" ”
"Now." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "I can still catch up for dinner together." ”
"Then I'll go change my clothes." Liu Tianxian took Zuo Aifei's hand: "Aifei, go change clothes with your mother." ”
"Oh."
After driving out of the capital, after three or four hours of driving, before dark, a family of three came to the county seat.
At this time, Zuo Zhongtian and his wife were preparing dinner at home. Seeing that his son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter were all here, he was immediately surprised: "Why are you here?" Why didn't you call before? You see the mess at home, and I didn't have time to clean it up. ”
The mother complained vigorously, but the smile on her face never faded.
"I miss you. Just come back and see. Zuo Xiaoyou hugged her mother: "Mom, you have lost weight." ”
"Lost weight?" Mother pinched her belly: "Your dad always says I'm fat again!" ”
"You're already fat." Zuo Zhongtian walked over, holding a colorful platter of preserved fruits in his hand, and said, "Quick." Hurry up and get cooked. Aifei, come, eat preserved fruits. ”
"Thank you, grandpa." The old man has the problem of intergenerational relatives. Don't hurt your children, you love your granddaughters. Now Zuo Xiaoyou has a successful career, it can be said that it is in full swing, and Zuo Zhongtian has nothing to say, but Bai Nen's lovely granddaughter is here, and she wants to be entertained with delicious food and drink.
"Grandpa still has milk here, I'll warm it up for Concubine Ai later."
"Dad, it's time to eat, don't give the child so many snacks. Still haven't eaten in a while? "Left and right stood up against it.
"Children love to eat, why do you care so much?" Zuo Zhongtian said angrily: "Go aside, don't get in the way of our grandfather." ”
“……”
Zuo Xiaoyou couldn't cry or laugh: "Yes, you can play with your granddaughter!" I'm going to help my mom cook. ”
With his help, a sumptuous dinner was quickly prepared. A family of five sat around the dinner table, men drank, women and children drank and drank, eating and chatting, the family has not been so lively for a long time.
Full of wine and food, Liu Tianxian and his mother went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Zuo Xiaoyou and Zuo Zhongtian set up a formation, horses walked the sun, elephants walked the fields, and the artillery crossed the border and bombed, killing happily.
Concubine Zuo Aifei was young, but she could understand a little bit of chess, so she snuggled in Zuo Xiaoyou's arms and watched her father and grandfather fight.
"Nothing else to do when you come back this time?" Playing chess, Zuo Zhongtian took a sip of hot tea and asked.
"Nope." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "I just miss you, come and see you." ”
"General."
"Daddy, your horse is a field! He also walked around the field with his horse's legs. ”
"Which eye did you see walking through the fields with your horse's legs pinned? I've been here all the time. ”
"No, no, no." The little concubine couldn't look at it: "Dad is right, grandpa is lying and ashamed." ”
Zuo Zhongtian's beard glared: "Little girl, grandpa hurts you in vain." ”
"My mother said that you have to be a good child and can't deceive people." Concubine Zuo said: "But why can grandpa deceive people? Is it possible for adults to deceive people? ”
Zuo Zhongtian: "......"
Left and right laughed.
After one night, after breakfast the next day, Zuo Xiaoyou took a lot of photos with his mobile phone, and finally came with a family photo.
Looking at these photos on his phone, Zuo Xiaoyou had a faint smile on his face, and his eyes gradually moistened.
The photos on my phone faded away, and the world began to crumble. He saw his parents, wife and children. are all dispersing little by little, like crystal fireflies, beautiful and cruel.
"24 hours is up, forced return."
The scene changed instantly, Zuo Xiaoyou looked at the empty hands, the mobile phone that was originally in his hand was gone, and it must have collapsed. I felt the energy in my body...... Empty.
Walking out of the panda house and moving around in the mountains a few times, the body really didn't feel light, and it was as heavy as an ordinary person. Ten years of cultivation. Eight years of Great Dao Neijing, the green snake-level mana, just like that, dissipated.
"Sure enough, it's all a dream." Zuo Xiaoyou sat on a mountain rock, overlooking the scenery of Liangshan, and the beautiful scenery gradually calmed his heart.
The sound of light footsteps came, Zuo Xiaoyou turned his head to look, and smiled slightly: "Why are you here?" ”
"I saw that Brother Zuo had something on his mind, and I wasn't very relieved, so I came over to take a look." Nie Xiaoqian held an umbrella. walked to Zuo Xiaoyou and sat down, and said softly: "Brother Zuo, did you encounter anything in the last world?" ”
In the last world, Zuo Xiaoyou didn't bring anyone in. He's the only one. What did he go through? Zhizi, Xiaoqian, and Old Lady Ren didn't know, but after Zuo Xiaoyou returned, the sadness revealed couldn't hide their perception.
Zhizi and Old Lady Ren knew that they were not the type to comfort people, so they handed over the task of finding out the news to Nie Xiaoqian.
It was drizzling at this time. The umbrella was covered above the heads of the two of them, looking at the smoke and rain and the cool mountains, just like their own mood.
"Something happened." Zuo Xiaoyou said softly: "Xiaoqian." ”
"Huh?"
"Can you based on a certain movie. Create a real illusion and then let someone fall into it without knowing it? Zuo Xiaoyou asked.
Nie Xiaoqian thought for a moment and nodded: "It can be done, but the time to maintain the illusion is only one year, unless there is a steady stream of grievances in the process of maintenance." ”
"Then I'll give you a scene, and you let me enter this illusion." Zuo Xiaoyou said.
Nie Xiaoqian looked at him and nodded: "Okay." ”
……
"Xiaoyou, what's wrong?" His mother came to look at him, "Why are you still crying?" ”
Zuo Xiaoyou raised her head and looked at her mother's worried expression.
"I knew you were going to come back." Zuo Zhongtian snorted lightly, but with a hint of worry: "Is there something difficult?" ”
Zuo Xiaoyou looked at him and shook his head with a smile.
"Brother Zuo, what's wrong?" Liu Tianxian held his hand: "Yesterday you weren't quite right, can't you tell me anything?" ”
Stroking Liu Tianxian's warm and tender little hands, it was very real, without the slightest sense of illusion.
"Daddy, don't cry." Concubine Zuo wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with her little hands: "Mom said that blood, sweat and tears are not shed, this is a man." ”
"Dad didn't cry." Zuo Xiaoyou held Zuo Aifei in his arms, feeling the warm body of this little guy, as well as clear breathing and heartbeat, no matter what, he didn't feel any illusory signs.
Zuo Xiaoyou looked around at everyone, tears sliding down her cheeks: "Dad, Mom, Sissi, Aifei, thank you for your continuous companionship...... Thank you and goodbye. ”
Gradually, the illusion disappeared, and Zuo Xiaoyou's consciousness returned to Liangshan, but the tears could not be stopped.
A tissue was gently wiped from the corners of his eyes and cheeks, and Nie Xiaoqian's eyes were filled with deep pity: "Brother Zuo, I'm sorry." ”
Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head slowly: "It has nothing to do with you, it is my own request." ”
Take a deep breath and stand up: "Go back!" ”
The umbrella covered the two of them, strolling along the mountain path, Nie Xiaoqian asked, "Brother Zuo, are the elderly couple in the environment the father-in-law and mother-in-law?" ”
"Hmm."
"They are so good, they must be very happy to be their daughters-in-law."
"Hmm."
"Brother Zuo......" Nie Xiaoqian stopped.
"Huh?" Left and right stopped and looked at her.
Nie Xiaoqian pursed her lips: "If Brother Zuo likes it, I will turn these scenes into illusions, so that Brother Zuo can ...... in his dreams."
"No need." Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: holding her waist: "Fake is fake after all, I won't immerse myself in fake chatting to masturbate." ”
took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually became fierce: "There are still many people waiting for me, I can't stop there!" (To be continued.) )
