Chapter 7: Father and Daughter
After entering the house, the worker untied the pestle at the table. Originally, he was full of anger, and when he saw the sick Shu Xiaoen leaning on the pillow, his little face was pale, and he seemed to have suffered a lot in the past few days; after all, he was a father and daughter, and he had some bad feelings in his heart, and he couldn't find the right words to break the silence in the room with a cold face for a while.
Gong Xunxi has always been smart, nudged Shu Xiaoen's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Xunhuan, why don't you be ignorant when you get into such a big trouble? If it weren't for your father this time, you would still have to suffer for a while." "I mean to persuade Shu Xiaoen not to be like in the past, and then play petty with his father.
Shu Xiaoen heard the meaning of the words, but she had no way to know what kind of temper that "Huan Xun" had. Since he was regarded as looking for joy, he simply followed the words of work to find joy, and met the gaze cast by the man in Chinese clothes, Shu Xiaoen respectfully shouted "father".
Gong untied his head and walked to the edge of the bed, "It's good to be sensible." ”
Gong Xunxi vaguely felt that his father's behavior was strange.
When she and her sister were young, their father had a conflict with their mother, and due to the dissuasion of the clansmen, they have not yet reconciled. At that time, the young Xunhuan followed his mother to Haiyao City, and over the years, he occasionally spent time in Zhongyuan City during the New Year's holidays, but his father never got too close to Gongxunhuan.
Maybe it's because of the lack of communication, the more Xunhuan grows up, the deeper his disgust for his father becomes, and every time he meets, Xunhuan throws his hand and walks away, and he also doesn't save face for his father in front of other elders. So much so that in recent years, she almost didn't go to Central Plains City to play, only occasionally she went to Haiyao City to visit her grandmother and mother once or twice, and her relationship with her sister deepened.
Merely...... Gong Xunxi vaguely felt that something seemed strange to her sister, and she didn't like this subtle change.
"Xunxi, you go outside, I have a few words to ask Xunhuan. ”
Gong Xunxi didn't dare to stay, so he retreated according to his words, but quietly looked up at Shu Xiaoen.
In the past, Xunhuan would never agree to stay with his father, and he would always leave when he saw his father. Because Xunhuan hated her father's indifference to her, she thought that she could repay her father twice as much through this childish behavior.
Gong Xunxi wanted to stay, and wanted to know how his father saved Xunhuan, after all, the tomb owner Demon Xiuhe who was killed by the fire was the king's younger brother, and his brothers and sisters were ruthless, so how could he let other suspicious people go?
The deeper I thought, the stronger my curiosity became.
deliberately slowed down his pace for a few beats, pinching in his heart and waiting for joy to take the initiative to stay, but in the end he didn't wait when he arrived at the door. Raising his eyes, he looked at Xunhuan with an indifferent look, and reluctantly closed the door.
Shu Xiaoen looked up at the direction where Gong Xunxi left, and always felt that her eyes were a little strange when she left, and when she thought that there was still a mess of troubles waiting to be solved in front of her, her scalp felt numb.
Most of the time, my father would ask what was going on in the forbidden place. Thinking of that, Shu Xiaoen felt that he had to ignore Bai Lixiu's affairs, otherwise he could take her elusive guy in that strange place, maybe he would blow up this group of people, and he would be riddled with a bunch of troubles.
The door creaked shut, blocking the bright sunlight outside, leaving a cold room.
Shu Xiaoen coughed dryly a few times, and then he was shocked to realize that there was a lot of dust around the house, and there were a few cobwebs on the high places.
Gong Xie walked to the side and opened the window, the wind outside the window came in, he stood by the window for a while, and waited for the first footsteps outside the house to go away, and then turned back to sit on the back chair not far from the bed, "Have you suffered any grievances by living in your grandmother's house all these years?"
"......" Shu Xiaoen had no choice but to lower his eyes and not answer because he didn't know the inside story.
"Are you still thinking about the things in the forbidden cemetery?"
Shu Xiaoen was silent for a while, thinking that sooner or later she would mention this matter, and if she mentioned it earlier, she would be less exposed, and the provincial chatter suddenly found out that she was not "looking for fun", so it was difficult to say what would happen next. She nodded in acknowledgement and took the initiative to mention: "I heard from my sister that the tomb owner was burned to death. ”
Gong Xie sighed: "He violated the laws of the city and caught the ghouls privately, and the punishment for Huo Xing was quite light. After a pause, he said, "Xunhuan, tell your father honestly, how did you quietly enter the forbidden ground?" or...... Who brought you in?"
Shu Xiaoen knew that if she started from Bai Lixiu's experience of bringing her to the Supo Continent in 2017, I am afraid that the Workers' Liberation Association would directly treat her as a madman. After pondering for a few seconds, I had to make up the story, and said vaguely: "It seems that a group of people with black scarves knocked me unconscious, and I don't know how...... And went in. ”
Gong Xie frowned, and said in disbelief: "Then in the forbidden cemetery, have you seen any people, or anything strange?"
As soon as she heard this, Shu Xiaoen suddenly remembered the white-robed man who came out of the broken house, and remembered the other party's feelings of sparing her life at that time, Shu Xiaoen felt that she should not mention it for the time being until she figured out the situation.
In the flash of lightning, Shu Xiaoen suddenly remembered one thing, the words they often mentioned in their mouths - omniscient God!
I remember that Bai Lixiu said at that time: He let that group of people see the omniscient God they worship the most. Shu Xiaoen suddenly had a premonition: if the news that they saw the omniscient God was revealed at that time, but all those people were dead...... I'm afraid she won't have a chance to escape.
Just as just now, she clearly saw a flash of swords by the window, and outside the house, there were people in armor guarding them. She hadn't thought about it before. Right now, it seems that this should be a slightly higher pay cell near the forbidden ground!
Shu Xiaoen asked, "Father, is there anyone else alive in the forbidden cemetery?"
Gong Xie shook his head, his eyes were complicated, "Except for the tomb owner who was executed by Huo Xing, the rest of the people died tragically in the forbidden place of the cemetery, and you are the only survivor at the moment." ”
Shu Xiaoen's heart chuckled.
At that time, most of the time in the forbidden place of the cemetery, she was in a state of mental trance, and missed too many important events. Let her tell the story hard, and she can only barely remember the strange scene of everyone kneeling on the nameless tombstone at night, and the first half of one of them being confused by the black fog and attacking everyone on the way back. As for what happened after the night of the return trip, I didn't leave the slightest impression - if I could only tell these fragmented memories, I am afraid that I would have to stay in this place forever!
At the moment, there is no way back, only to gamble on luck, hoping to find Bai Lixiu's incarnation in the forbidden place of the tomb, and summon the noble all-knowing god for her to relieve the siege, "I need to go into the forbidden place of the tomb to find someone, otherwise all this, I can't explain it." ”
Gong Jie's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "There will never be living people living in the forbidden land. Who the hell are you looking for?!"
Even though Shu Xiaoen had all kinds of suspicions about Bai Lixiu in his heart, when he heard his father's words, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. Suddenly, a voice in her ear remembered, pulling her distant thoughts back to reality, "Do you know why everyone died overnight in the forbidden cemetery?"
Shu Xiaoen shook his head, but the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, lest the weird and bad things have something to do with Bai Lixiu.
"Everyone was blinded by the black fog and killed each other to death. ”
Shu Xiaoen was silent. Some of my thoughts are becoming more and more confusing. If the black mist is confused and can make people kill each other, why did all those black mist bypass her? Could it be that Bai Lixiu gave her something to eat in advance? Shu Xiaoen couldn't figure it out, but she clearly knew that only Bai Lixiu could help her in this matter, otherwise she would be imprisoned for the rest of her life.
Gongjie wanted to continue to say something, Shu Xiaoen was heartbroken, and interjected: "The person I want to find is an all-knowing God. ”
