Chapter 732: Meet in the Afterlife
One hundred and twenty-one-year-old old Xu Wang, with silver hair, a face like sixty or seventy years old, still tall, but not as tall as when he was young. He was invincible on the battlefield back then, but at this time he could only lie quietly on the bed, his phoenix eyes were lowered, and his breathing was weak. The imperial physician was helpless, and the filial sons and grandsons crowded a room full of people, with heavy faces and sad expressions.
On the Taishi chair beside him, there was one hundred and fourteen-year-old Yu Xiaocao, although her hair was white, her skin was still fair and delicate, and the shallow wrinkles on her face seemed to have become the accumulation of years, adding a bit of mature charm to her.
Princess Xu Wang Xu has a long life, both of them have entered the age of 100, but their bodies are still healthy. On the streets west of the city, you can often see a tall and slender old man, holding hands and walking slowly, and the back is like a picture that will never fade.
In Beijing, Princess Xu Wang Xu has become a legend. In the mouths of the people and the pens of the literati, their unswerving love stories, their great exploits, and their magical lives are recited.
King Xu has only one woman in his life, Princess Xu. Some people say that King Xu is afraid of his daughter-in-law, and other women dare not look at it; Some people said that Princess Xu gave King Xu a trick, so he didn't dare to be interested in other women; Some people say that King Xu really hurt the princess into his bones, so he can't be interested in other women......
No matter what others say, it can't affect the couple. When King Xu was sixty years old, he finally unloaded all the lists on his shoulders and wandered among the mountains and rivers with the princess. From the south to the north, the Ming Dynasty left their footprints in pairs.
King Xu also fulfilled the vow he made when he was young, and at the age of sixty-five, he took the princess on a ship to the West to open his eyes to Western countries. Princess Asahi even married the queen of a small European country and became sisters. King Xu also singled out an indigenous cannibal tribe and beat them to their knees begging for mercy, which is really old and strong.
King Xu celebrated his 120th birthday, and Princess Xu was also more than 110 years old, and the relationship between them was not diluted by the years, like a pot of old wine, becoming more and more mellow.
People will think that they will live as Peng Zu and live as an adult. But King Xu, who had just entered the age of one hundred and twenty-one, suddenly fell. There is no pain, no scars, but the various skills of the body are aging. At the beginning, the sleep time gradually increased, and sometimes I was chatting with you in the last sentence, and the next second I fell asleep. Now, he sleeps more than seventeen or eighteen hours a day, and his waking time is getting shorter and shorter.
Although Yu Xiaocao had been prepared in her heart, she still couldn't help her heartache. The man who feels heartache for the majestic shore, as if he can help her support all the weight of her life, also has a day when the hero is in the twilight. At the same time, I couldn't help but feel a little scared. She is a person who has personally experienced the past and present lives, and I don't know if she will be lucky enough to meet him in the next life...... She hopes that she can retain the memory of this life before her Meng Po soup, and in the next life, let her look for his shadow in the vast sea of people.
"Wake up! Great-grandmother, great-grandfather woke up! It was Zhu Yunxuan's little grandson who was in his thirties who spoke.
Yu Xiaocao blinked the mist on her eyelashes, smiled and approached the man who was looking for her figure, held his hand, and asked softly, "Master, are you hungry?" I'm going to cook you a bowl of noodles? β
Zhu Junyang held her hand tightly and shook his head gently, and his cloudy phoenix eyes became as clear as ever at this time, just like when she first met him. He spoke slowly: "Help me sit up......"
With the help of his great-grandson, Yu Xiaocao put two pillows behind him according to his request, allowing him to sit half-leaning and half-leaning. She has already asked Xiao Mending Stone, the man has been in the past few days, and today's sudden awakening should be back to the light.
She sat on the edge of the bed, leaned her head lightly on his shoulder, and chuckled: "Old man, the bones in your shoulder make me hurt, and when you get better, you have to eat more, otherwise I will be uncomfortable leaning on you." β
"Good, good, good! Eat more, raise fat, and use it as a pillow for you! Zhu Junyang's melodious voice like a cello, she has never heard enough in her life.
"Great-grandmother, there is a little girl outside who says she is your old friend who has come to visit you." This is Zhu Yunxin's youngest granddaughter, who doesn't look like her grandfather's family, but her facial features are seven or eight percent similar to Xiaocao when she was young, and she is quite loved by her grandmother.
The little girl who claimed to be an old friend was invited, and Yu Xiaocao stared at her for a long time, until she showed a faded orchid purse, and she searched for the shadow of the little girl from her distant memory. Little Dragon Girl, the dragon girl she met at the bottom of the sea. Unexpectedly, she broke the barrier and came to the world to find her.
Xiaolongnu looked at Xiaocao's face for a long time, sighed and said: "The life span of mortals is too short, fortunately I work hard enough, and you live long enough, otherwise we really won't have a chance to meet in this life." To be able to meet you is finally a dream in my heart. It's a pity that you're no longer the cute girl who talks to me and plays with me. β
"Thank you for coming to see me, at the most important time of my life. Little Dragon Girl, I hope you can cultivate hard and rank in the immortal class as soon as possible. Yu Xiaocao sincerely blessed.
The little dragon girl nodded and said, "I will." So...... There will be no time in the future! After speaking, a wisp of breeze disappeared into the courtyard of King Xu's mansion.
For the strange situation in front of them, the masters of the Xuwang Mansion didn't seem to be surprised. In their hearts, the mother concubine (grandmother, great-grandmother) should not be a mortal. Otherwise, how could so many myths be created?
Just when Yu Xiaocao was talking to Xiaolongnu, Zhu Junyang's eyes never left her. After Xiaolongnu left, he said to Zhu Yunxuan, who was already ninety years old: "I want to be alone with your mother for a while." β
"Father......" Zhu Yunxuan looked at his father, who had been chasing the pace and worshipping him like an idol, and his voice choked.
Zhu Junyang looked at the three children and said slowly: "You are all good, and you have not disappointed your father and mother." I'm very relieved of you......"
When the eighty-five-year-old Zhu Yunxin heard this, she cried like a child: "Father, you have to live well." If you're gone, I'll be a kid without a father. If your son-in-law bullies me, there will be no one to support me. Woooooooooooooooo β
When her son and grandson heard this, their heads were full of black lines: Obviously, you bullied your father (grandfather), okay? Doesn't your conscience hurt when you say this?
"Silly boy, there is no feast in the world! You go out first, I want to be alone with your mother for a while. I want to leave the last little time to her! Zhu Junyang's gaze at Xiaocao was so thick that he couldn't dissolve the reluctance and nostalgia.
Zhu Yunxuan intercepted what his sister was about to say, took his children and grandchildren out of the room, and left the space for the two old men.
"Do you regret marrying me? I'm seven years older than you, and if you marry someone about your age, you'll be able to stay with you for a few more years. I really hate why I was born so early in the past few years. Zhu Junyang knew that his life was coming to an end, and his heart was full of reluctance and unease about Xiaocao.
"You, don't think about it! Marrying you is the most correct thing I have ever done in my life. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose to marry you. If I leave you, where can I find someone who can spoil me to heaven? Yu Xiaocao picked up the ivory comb and slowly combed his hair.
Zhu Junyang grinned: "After I leave, you have to be good, how happy you are, don't be sad." You know that I can't see you sad and sad the most, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to live a life down there. β
"Well, I'm not sad! You go down there first, and I'll be there. Yu Xiaocao chatted about the life and death of the two as if she was chatting about homely, and there was no sadness in her tone, as if she was saying "The weather is good today".
"I'm gone, you can't hook up with other little old men! Those old men are not as handsome as me, and they are still very lonely, and surely no one can tolerate your little temper like me. "Zhu Junyang's vinegar is still so strong.
"Well, I'm yours alone. It's like you belong only to me. Yu Xiaocao promised.
Zhu Junyang was satisfied, but still a little worried: "If you feel lonely, take the little granddaughter of Xiaoguozi's family to talk to you, your son and daughter-in-law are not filial, just burn incense for me and tell me, I will scold them in the middle of the night......"
The two of them chatted for a while. Zhu Junyang suddenly fell silent, and just when Yu Xiaocao thought he was asleep again, he spoke again: "Cao'er, can you tell me what it's like over there?" β
Yu Xiaocao knew that he had guessed that she did not belong to this world, but what touched her was that he never took the initiative to ask her, and still helped her cover everywhere, for fear that others would find out that she was different.
Yu Xiaocao briefly told him about the situation in his previous life. Zhu Junyang listened quietly and sighed: "A car that can run without a horse, an airplane that can fly in the sky, and a submarine that can be launched...... That's nice! You say, if you hadn't come here, would there be a me in your world? β
"Perhaps! It's just that I in that world is thirty years old, and I haven't waited for you yet. You said you were late, what kind of trouble? Yu Xiaocao chuckled and pinched the man's cheek.
"So in this life, I came to you early, slowly watched you grow up, and guarded you all my life." Zhu Junyang had a premonition that his last moment was coming, and suddenly clenched her hand, and his voice was a little weak, "You say, can we still meet each other in the next life and rely on each other?" β
Yu Xiaocao suddenly picked up his hand and bit it down hard, leaving bloody tooth marks, and then she smiled and said with tears: "Yes!" You see, I've left a mark on you. Life and life, you don't want to run away. β
Zhu Junyang lowered his eyes and looked at the tooth mark and smiled slowly......
Yu Xiaocao felt that the man's hand in his hand suddenly became heavy, and tears slowly slipped down. She changed the man into his favorite military outfit, took the pillow behind him, and made him lie flat. And he wiped his head, face, hands and feet with water. Finally, she climbed to the inside of the bed and lay flat next to the man, feeling her life pass little by little......
There was a cry in King Xu's mansion. On this day, they lost a pair of loved ones at the same time......
In 2018, in the ward of Xu City, Suzhou Province, a surprised voice said: "Wake up!" Sister, you're finally awake!! β
"Brother, brother! My sister is awake, look at it, her hands are up, and her eyelashes are fluttering......"
"Quick, get the doctor!!"
Yu Xiaocao slowly opened his eyes, the snow-white walls above his head and on all sides, the bright incandescent lights, and the various medical devices around him...... This is...... Hospital? A modern hospital? Could it be that she is back again, she is not dead?
"Sister, sister! Can you see me? I'm Xiaochan, your sister Xiaochan...... Brother, sister won't fall her head and lose her memory, right? Lin Xiaochan suddenly opened her mind and asked.
Lin Xiaochan? Her sister from a previous life? I followed the voice and looked over, and sure enough, it was a familiar face with some unfamiliarity. Sure enough, she returned to her original world. In this world, she is just an ordinary person who runs a small braised vegetable shop and struggles to survive.
Just now she was talking to her prince about who in this world would not have his problems, but she came back. Is there a man in this world, the man who loves her all her life? The answer is unknown, and even if there is, in the vast sea of people, you may not be able to meet him.
"Sister, you have been in a coma for more than 100 days, I am really afraid that you will become a vegetative person and will not wake up for the rest of your life. Sister, you have to be good, waiting to enjoy the blessings of your younger brothers and sisters, but you must not have anything to do! Lin Xiaochan's eyes were moist, and her voice was choked.
"Xiaojun's wedding, didn't mess it up because of me, did you?" Yu Xiaocao...... No, it should be Lin Xiaowan who restrained her thoughts and asked lightly.
Lin Xiaochan burst into tears and laughed, and said, "Sister, you haven't lost your memory." That's great! I was still thinking about how I would awaken your memory if you had amnesia. Sister, don't worry, when you passed out, Xiaojun had already sent the guests away...... Sister, you scared us a lot this time! β
"Later...... No, it won't. Lin Xiaowan was worried in her heart. In the hundred years of that life, she didn't believe that it was just a dream of Nanke. But who can explain how she came back to this real world?
The little mending stone that has returned to the other world has an inexplicable smile: goodbye, its human master. I hope you enjoy this gift I gave you.
"Sister, you seem to have changed a little." Lin Xiaochan fed her a glass of water and said hesitantly, "It seems that there is a different demeanor in the demeanor." I can't tell......"
"Maybe I've been in a coma for a long time, and my brain is still a little confused!" Lin Xiaowan said softly.
"The tone and intonation of the speech are also different. It's a bit of a bite to chew on words. Sister, you can't be like what is written in the book, someone else's soul is reborn in you, right? "Lin Xiaochan likes to read novels about rebirth through time, and she jokes authentically.
Lin Xiaowan glanced at her and said, "Have you read too many novels?" Do you want me to ...... you wet the bed when you were a child?"
"Don't, don't! You're my sister, my own sister, okay? Lin Xiaochan hurriedly raised her hands in surrender.
"Sister, do you feel uncomfortable?" Lin Qijun followed several doctors in white coats into the ward, and when he saw his sister talking to his little sister, he hurriedly asked.
"No, it's just ......" As soon as she paused, Lin Qijun and Lin Xiaochan couldn't help but be nervous, "It's just that I'm a little hungry and want to eat roast duck, braised pork, and braised pig's trotters!" β
In that life, because she and the man were getting older, her stomach and intestines were also weakened, and many greasy things were restricted from eating, and these two meatless couples were hungry, so they almost went to the kitchen to eat secretly.
The doctor next to Lin Qijun smiled: "It's a good thing to have the desire to eat, which means that the body function is recovering." However, in your current situation, it is better to start with light, liquid food. β
"Huh? Still want to eat light? She has been spoiled for a hundred years, and she has grown some arrogant little temper, and at this time she also brought out a few points.
Among the group of doctors, a tall doctor, with a pair of handsome eyes exposed above the mask, looked at Lin Xiaowan with a complicated look, a little bit of disbelief, and a little hope......
"This expert was invited from the First People's Hospital of Beijing, who had studied abroad and was an authority in the domestic brain department. Let him check it for you. "I don't know why this expert is interested in this ordinary case of a coma caused by a blood in the brain. Since he offered to help with the inspection, why not?
Lin Qijun immediately moved out of the way. After a series of examinations, the results showed that part of the blood congestion in Lin Xiaowan's brain had been absorbed, and the compression of the nerves in the brain had been reduced. Maybe that's why she woke up.
At the time of the examination, the specialist from Kyoto seemed to pay attention to the patient's words and deeds, and seemed to be looking for someone's shadow from her. However, he did it more secretively, and it was not discovered by others.
"After a few more days of hospitalization, you can be discharged!" Experts from the Beijing People's Hospital said this to the patient's family.
Lin Xiaowan muttered quietly: "I think I can be discharged from the hospital now." β
"Sister, we have to listen to the doctor, they are experts in this area. The congestion in your brain hasn't completely dissipated yet, so it's good to stay a few more days. Sister, I know you're worried about money. Don't worry, I've got you covered for the hospitalization! "Lin Xiaochan is married well, her husband is good to her, and the money for hospitalization is nothing at all. Besides, isn't there still rural cooperative medical insurance?
The tall brain expert looked at Lin Xiaowan with some distress in his eyes. Is it her? I worked hard for my younger brothers and sisters for more than ten years, and I didn't get married at the age of 30, and when I attended my brother's wedding, I accidentally fell down the stairs. It's all right...... Is that you?
At the invitation of the Xu Municipal People's Hospital, he came to consult a difficult disease. If he hadn't learned about Lin Xiaowan's situation by chance, he would have returned to the capital a long time ago. It's a pity that when Xiaocao talked about her previous life, most of them were hastily bred. If he could know that he could come to the same era as her, he would definitely inquire about her previous life.
Let's observe for a while, there may not be people who talk and behave similarly. In case he takes the liberty of recognizing him, he will be beaten as a disciple, and the gain will outweigh the loss. Of course, there are really few in this world that can beat him in fists and feet.
Lin Xiaowan ate a sick meal in the hospital for two more days, and then shouted that she was going to be discharged, and threatened her younger siblings that if she didn't go through the discharge procedures, she would run away from home, no, she ran away from the hospital! The willful little appearance is something she never and dare not have before.
In desperation, Lin Qijun had to go through the discharge procedures for her. Lin Xiaowan changed out of her hospital gown and happily circled around the corridor of the hospital twice.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar face passing in front of herβa handsome face, long narrow phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips......
"Zhu Junyang!!" The name couldn't help but blurt out, echoing in the corridors of the hospital. Her voice was so excited and loud that even the people on the other end of the corridor looked at her curiously.
However, the person who looked eight points similar to her King Xu never looked back. Lin Xiaowan chased after him again, and shouted unrelentingly: "Zhu Junyang, is it you?" β
The man stopped, and Lin Xiaowan felt a surprise in her heart. However, the man just turned around, glanced at her lightly, and asked, "Are you calling me?" I'm sorry, you recognized the wrong person, my name is not Zhu Junyang! β
It's not him, it's not him!! Her King Xu's eyes would not be so cold when he looked at her, and her voice would never be so cold when he spoke to her. The man just looked like him. Lin Xiaowan's heart ached sharply, and she was so painful that she almost couldn't breathe. Is her King Xu just a dream?
"Stupid! Do you only recognize that face? In her cello-like and elegant voice, there was a bit of pampering and distress that she was familiar with.
Lin Xiaowan turned around suddenly, and in the corridor behind her, the tall figure and loving eyes were all too familiar to her.
"Zhu Junyang?" Lin Xiaowan's voice was full of hesitation. Isn't the man in front of him the authority of the two-eyed brain department? Her prince is amazing, and he actually mixed into the medical world!
Look at the person in front of you again, with a majestic and healthy figure, deep and distinct facial features, dark and deep black eyes full of strong affection, and a little evil and crazy when smiling at the corners of his mouth. Even standing casually has a shocking aristocratic aura. Her prince is still so handsome and handsome!
"Little fool, what are you doing? Not yet in the arms of the master? Zhu Junyang opened his hands, and the evil smile on the corner of his lips made people unable to take their eyes off.
Lin Xiaowan blinked away the tears in her eyes, turned her head away arrogantly, and snorted: "If you don't go, you won't go!" You said that if you would keep the memories of your previous life, you would recognize me at first sight. Is it that if I become ugly, you don't want to recognize me......"
Before she finished speaking, Zhu Junyang walked to her side with long legs, three or two steps, and stretched out his ape arm and embed her tightly in his arms. Lin Xiaowan's height is less than 1.6 meters, and in front of him of 1.86 meters, the most adorable height difference has been formed. When Lin Xiaowan hugged his neck back, she had to point her toes.
"Let go of my sister! Stinky rascal!! The short-tempered Lin Xiaochan rushed over and smashed it hard with her leather bag, but was dragged by Lin Qijun.
"Can any of you tell us what the hell is going on?" Lin Qijun was not blind, he saw his sister, who had always been conservative and shy, hugging each other's necks tightly. If it weren't for the hospital corridor, it is estimated that the two of them would kiss together.
Lin Xiaowan put her arms around her neck and hung it around her man's neck, turned around and smiled weakly at her younger brothers and sisters, and whispered, "If you say ...... The two of us fell in love at first sight, fell in love again, and decided to live for life at third sight, do you believe it or not? β
Cut! It's strange to believe you! Lin Qijun and Lin Xiaochan rolled their eyes at the sky at the same time.
Believe it or not, we will not be separated again, forever, forever...... Lin Xiaowan (Yu Xiaocao) and Xiao Mubai (Zhu Junyang) looked at each other and smiled......
