Chapter 32: Falling Ill

Sitting on the train and looking out the window, it was the first time I had acted alone, and the excitement and excitement in my heart gradually became a little apprehensive.

The train I bought was K-shaped, and the whole journey took more than a day, but fortunately I bought a hard sleeper. Lying on the sleeper, I estimated that I would have spent the next twenty hours or so in bed. I picked up my phone and found that I didn't know when I missed a call, it must have been when I was in a hurry to catch the train and didn't hear the ringtone.

I opened it and saw that it was the number of the Lantern Festival. I dialed it back immediately. After the phone was connected, there was a noisy voice from the Lantern Festival, and I asked strangely, "What are you doing over there?" What was that? Then I heard the voice of the Lantern Festival faintly coming over, "Zhuo Ran, you wait a while!" ”

After a while, Lantern Xiao said in a clear voice: "Hey, where are you?" ”

I hesitated for a moment, and didn't tell Lantern Xiao about the current situation. I said to him, "I've got something to do...... Face. "I almost said the word "outside" as soon as I got distracted, but fortunately I hurriedly changed my words to outside, otherwise I knew that I was going to the field alone, and it was inevitable that Lantern Festival would not notice. I then asked, "What's wrong with you?" What's the matter with calling me? ”

Lantern Xiao said to me: "I'm driving a car now, it's not convenient to answer the phone, I was looking for headphones just now, and now it's okay." Then he said to me, "Zhuoran, do you have anything to do at night?" You come here. ”

I didn't know what Lantern Festival wanted to do for a while, but looking at the speeding train, I knew that no matter what happened to Lantern Festival at night, it was unlikely that I would rush back, but I still asked casually, "Shall I go over?" What's the matter? ”

Lantern Xiao pretended to be mysterious and said, "Do you remember that I told you about Kong Xue's return before?" ”

Hearing Lantern Xiao say this, my heart immediately understood what the purpose of Lantern Xiao looking for me was, I didn't speak but listened to Lantern Xiao and continued: "In the evening, I made an appointment with Kong Xue and a few friends for dinner, both men and women, you can come along." Zhuo Ran, I know what you think in your heart, even if it doesn't work out in the end, don't leave yourself with regrets, right? Besides, there are a lot of people today, even if she ignores you, she won't be embarrassed! Saying that, Lantern Xiao smiled jokingly, but I couldn't laugh at all.

Lantern Xiao stopped laughing and said, "Actually, I can also see that Kong Xue is not as resentful of you as she was before, she should have figured it out during this time, but it's not good for girls to say it directly." Seriously, I think you can get back together. ”

Hearing this, I finally smiled bitterly. Speaking from the heart, do I want to go? Emotionally, I really want to go, but rationally speaking, I can't help myself now, and this situation is a bit sudden for me, plus the current situation, I don't know what kind of mentality to face Kong Xue.

I took a deep breath and said to Lantern Xiao: "Lantern Festival, I really have something I can't get out of now, and I can't go tonight." I'm really sorry, if you have the chance, you can also say sorry to Kong Xue for me. ”

Lantern Xiao said again: "I said Zhuo Ran, don't be reserved if you are a big man!" It's all friends who have a meal together, and you don't count as a bargain! If you're so stingy, you're bored! ”

I really didn't have the strength or mood to explain this to Lantern Xiao, so I had to say: "Lantern Xiao, what I said is the truth, I don't blame Kong Xue for what happened before, I really can't go under objective conditions." Okay, buddy, don't talk about it, I still have something to do, let's talk about it later! After saying that, I didn't wait for Lantern Xiao to answer, I hung up the phone.

I leaned back on the sleeper, feeling empty in my heart. I don't know if it's because of the Tan family or because of Kong Xue, but it doesn't matter, through the experience of this time, I feel that I have changed, and I know clearly in my heart what I should do.

The 20-hour drive was really difficult. When I got off the train at Chengdu Station, I felt like I was about to be shaken apart, and my body ached. I felt right and touched my forehead. It seems to be a little hot, and I secretly scream in my heart, I won't be sick here!

I quickly found a nearby hotel chain to stay, and bought a thermometer and some emergency medicine from a pharmacy on the way.

Once you move into your room, the discomfort becomes even more pronounced. I dropped my luggage, drank some hot water and got under the covers.

I picked up the thermometer and tested the temperature, and it was 38.5°C. Sure enough, I had a fever, and I couldn't help but feel annoyed in my heart, it was really not the right time to go out this time. In addition to the pain, the key is that there is a sense of desolation in the heart. Although there have been times when I have been injured and hospitalized in my previous experiences, there are always other people around me. This time it's different, and I'm the only one who can bear it.

After lying down for a while, I struggled to get up and took some fever reducer. And he fell into a deep sleep.

Due to the fever, I was in a state of half-dreaming and half-awake, I felt myself huddled in the quilt and shivered cold, but my whole body was already soaked with sweat. I kept dreaming all kinds of dreams, the red-eyed giant snake in Qilian Mountain, the void eye of the ancient tomb on the island, the fountain of life in the underground royal tomb of the ancient kingdom of Shan Huan, the strange city gate under the ancestral tomb of the Zhuo family, and the bottomless abyss in the depths of the 100,000 mountains, kept appearing in front of my eyes. Eventually, I dreamed that I had seen the Nine Dragons Heavenly Coffin deep in the Qilian Mountains again.

The huge sarcophagus seemed to hang in mid-air, and a gap still opened in the lid of the sarcophagus. I walked slowly along the narrow stone path, wanting to explore the Nine Dragons Celestial Coffin again. But before I could get to the front, suddenly a hand came out of it, and I was startled, and quickly retreated, only to find that I had retreated to the edge of the cliff. I looked nervously at the sarcophagus, but then I saw a figure slowly crawling out of the sarcophagus.

I was surprised to find that the figure was so familiar to me, and when I looked at it, I was immediately startled. Because I saw that the person who crawled out of the sarcophagus turned out to be myself.

I was so frightened that I woke up and opened my eyes. After settling down, I turned my head and saw that it was already bright outside the window. I sat up from the bed and felt much better. I touched my forehead, and I was probably no longer feverish. However, due to the constant cold sweat, my hair was wet as if it had just been rained. Coupled with the sweat from last night, my body was sticky and very uncomfortable.

I got up and went straight to the bathroom to take a hot shower, due to the reason I just got up and my body was relatively weak due to the fever last night, I felt a little dizzy halfway through the hot shower. I gritted my teeth and washed off the shower gel and threw myself on the bed again. The ceiling kept spinning above my head, and I felt dizzy, so I had to close my eyes.

After a long while, I barely opened my eyes, and I secretly sighed in my heart, this time I really suffered a sin, is this the retribution for the previous times of fighting against Yin Virtue!
