Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Return
The way back is always farther and longer than the way you came.
The sudden parting is easy to make people feel sentimental, and the confusion of the unknown can easily make people hesitate.
But this is not Xia Sheng.
He has experienced too many life and death separations, and has experienced too many sorrows and sorrows, so his heart is unusually calm at this time.
It's just that inadvertently, there is still a faint sadness.
Not for themselves, but for those who disappeared in a hurry.
He didn't know where they were, if they were okay.
When he came, he was still sitting in the spacious carriage, laughing and making trouble with them, even if he was not good at words, he was so honest that he couldn't help laughing.
But now, only Dan Dan and Poor Sang are left by his side.
Overnight, fate, the **, once again played an extremely vicious joke on Xia Sheng's life.
At this time, Xia Sheng's physical condition was very bad, let alone an emperor-level powerhouse, even Xiao Yong, a warrior, could completely kill him with one palm.
But Xia Sheng's steps were extremely steady, the perseverance in his eyes was the same as before, he couldn't see the slightest pain, and he walked step by step on the road ahead that Xingyue illuminated for him.
Poor Sang was lying in Xia Sheng's arms, and his breath became weaker than before, because after leaving the earth, if he couldn't integrate into Xia Sheng's spiritual aperture in time, he was afraid that he would soon wither and wither until he died.
But Xia Sheng didn't dare to leave it in place rashly.
Now that the entire Forgotten Forest has been destroyed, the poor mulberry stands alone on the wasteland, which is too eye-catching, even if it is not said that those killers may go and return, as long as a spiritual cultivator happens to pass by, it is easy to find the existence of the poor mulberry.
Not every devotional can recognize the preciousness of the tree of life.
Not every spiritual practitioner is like Xia Sheng, who has a sense of reverence for all the lives in the world.
For the vast majority of spiritual practitioners in this world, the so-called spiritual object is just an object, or in other words, a slave, not a fighting partner, or even a friend.
Xia Sheng didn't dare to take this risk and let Poor Sang fall into the hands of others.
Fortunately, because of the fall of the realm, the demand for nutrients has become lower, if it is under normal circumstances, Xia Sheng wants to bring it back to the back mountain, but it is a matter of effort.
However, with his current state, can he rush back to White Horse Town in time and rush back to the back mountain to give birth to the spiritual spring?
The only one who knows this answer is Xia Sheng himself.
After walking on the wilderness for about two or three hours, Xia Sheng stopped for the first time, and the sparkling waves ahead, the light reflected by the bright moon from the surface of the lake gave people a sense of tranquility and serenity.
Finally back to Giethoorn.
Xia Sheng turned his head and looked at the Dan Dan beside him, with a look of apology on his face: "I can only go here, the next journey depends on you." ”
Dandan couldn't answer Xia Sheng's words, so it directly used its actions to show its attitude.
I saw Dandan's slow walk in front of Xia Sheng, and then squatted down a little funny, retracting the long legs that looked like chicken feet into the eggshell.
Xia Sheng smiled indifferently, then leaned forward, and simply lay down on Dandan's body, although it was a little slippery, Xia Sheng still tried to maintain his balance, and stuck his whole body to the shell wall.
The next moment, Dan Dan stood up again, staggered two steps slightly, and stepped on the soles of his feet on the soft ground with two shallow maple leaf marks.
One step, two steps......
In this way, one man and one egg began the final trek.
Xia Sheng lay on Dandan's body, and the cold touch went straight to the bottom of his heart, which made his mind clearer.
But instead of bothering to think about what had happened before, he kept his eyes as wide as he could, vigilantly watching the movements around him.
The closer you get to success, the more dangerous it becomes.
Xia Sheng has always understood this truth. So he was worried, and the killers didn't stay away, but lay in ambush on the road to Whitehorse, waiting for him to fall into the net.
Fortunately, the worries in Xia Sheng's heart did not come true, and by the time Dan Dan carried him back to the outside of White Horse Town, the sky was almost bright.
The town was quiet and as peaceful as ever.
Although Xia Sheng was worried about his father in his heart, the top priority was his own injury and letting Poor Sang survive, so he did not choose to enter the city, but let Dan Dan carry him and continue to march towards the back mountain.
It was at this time that a strong vigilance suddenly flashed in Xia Sheng's eyes.
As soon as he turned around, he saw two blurred figures appear directly in front of him.
"Don't stop, keep walking. ”
Xia Sheng's voice had begun to weaken, but with his strong willpower, he sat up and lowered his head slightly, hiding the tiredness in his eyes.
When he got closer, he realized that the person who came was not the killer he had seen in the Forgotten Forest before.
It's two strangers, a man and a woman.
It appears to be a couple, the man leading a skinny foal, while the woman is sickly riding on a horse, holding a flowered cloth bag in her hand, looking shaky.
I have to say that even as a strange beast, Dandan's shape is too stylish, so it attracted the man's attention at the first time, and then looked at Xia Sheng who was sitting on Dandan.
Xia Sheng chuckled in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, and he even saluted the other party's chin.
Who would have thought that the man would take the initiative to come over and ask Xia Sheng, "This little brother, is there White Horse Town ahead?"
Xia Sheng didn't answer, just nodded casually, and seemed to be a little impatient.
Seeing this, the man also seemed to feel bored with himself, and replied with a smile: "Thank you." ”
Then he led the horse and passed by Xia Sheng, and then did not pay half a cent of attention to Xia Sheng, but the sick woman seemed to look at Dan Dan with interest.
Immediately made Xia Sheng feel like a cold mang.
It wasn't until the couple completely disappeared from sight that Xia Sheng gasped heavily, and then, he couldn't hold it anymore and fell on Dandan's body again.
And his back was already soaked with a fine layer of cold sweat.
At the same time, the couple finally came to the gate of Whitehorse Town, and the man seemed to be still thinking about his previous encounter with Xia Sheng.
He said with some regret: "I should have stopped that young man just now, I always felt that there was something strange about him. ”
However, the woman on horseback reprimanded sharply: "This trip must not be careless, let alone sideways, and it is important to do the right thing!"
A wry smile appeared on the man's face, and he said again and again: "Don't worry, this time the news we came out of the hall is only known to Venerable Xiang, and all the news is blocked from the outside world, and it is impossible to leak the news." ”
The woman deliberately lowered her voice: "No matter what, be careful, if you let him escape again this time, what will happen if he goes back, you must know better than me!"
As she spoke, the woman took out a somewhat wrinkled portrait from her baggage, on which was painted the appearance of a handsome young man, although after a lapse of sixteen years, the appearance of the person in the portrait has changed a lot, but she can still see some familiar shadows from the demeanor between the eyebrows and the staggered facial features.
If Xia Sheng got this portrait, I am afraid that he would be able to recognize it at a glance, the person above is none other than his father, Xia Hong!
