Chapter 8: The Unaffordable
In the early morning, the whole world is clear, when the first rays of sunlight shine through the faint mist, gently sprinkled on everything, vigorous, making people feel relaxed and happy!
I don't know how long it has been, Su Chen woke up from his dream, sat up with a loud voice, gasped for breath, his body trembled slightly, and he has been asleep until now.
No, it was dawn in the morning, he fixed his mind, looked around, it was not his own house, and he was a little puzzled, where is this?
He slowly got out of bed, put on his shoes, looked around, and walked towards the door.
The door was not closed, although it was a summer morning, from the crack in the door, if there was a wind blowing in, I felt a little cool.
Su Chen walked against the door step by step, his heart was beating hard, he couldn't stop wheezing, he held his breath, and soon, he walked to the door, put his hand on the door, opened the door, and the bright light from the outdoors shone in at once, making him squint his eyes, and the warm and warm sunlight fell on his body, with a faint warmth.
Su Chen observed carefully, in the unfamiliar place in front of him, there was a small courtyard outside the door, there were a few extremely precious dragon cypress trees on the left, a few bushes of grass and trees on the right, and some unknown flowers, slim and elegant, and in the middle was a bluestone brick sidewalk nearly several zhang wide.
He walked out step by step, looking at the strange place, his heart was full of surprise, where is this place?
It's not a dream, everything in front of you is real, what about grandpa?
Su Chen was stunned, he was worried, he remembered what happened last night, the whole village was on fire, he was afraid in his heart, it was his grandfather who took him all the way to run, and he couldn't remember what happened after that!
Su Chen looked around, there was no one, he couldn't help but walk under the dragon cypress tree in the courtyard, and now he felt exhausted, his whole body was weak, and he couldn't exert his strength up and down, as if he was sick.
In fact, it was really caused by the fact that he was absorbed by the sacrificial banner last night, this is the sequelae, if it weren't for his own natural spirit body, as well as Gu Mu's rescue, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago!
I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice behind me: "You woke up?"
After Su Chen came back to his senses, he turned around and saw a man in brocade, looking at Su Chen with a smile.
The man looked like he was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a uniform figure, dressed in brocade, spotless, with a hint of a smile on his face, and the whole person emitted an indescribable temperament.
It can be said that the man in front of him, although he is unspeakably expensive, is not arrogant, and the whole person is like a flowing cloud, which is easy to get closer to people, and people can't help but have a good feeling.
Su Chen was a little puzzled, after all, he was precocious in his mind, and he was not shocked in the depths, and asked, "May I ask if this big brother is you who saved me? What is this place?"
The man in brocade saw through Su Chen's thoughts at a glance, and said with a smile: "Little brother, my heart must be full of doubts, right? However, you have been asleep for a day and a night, you must be hungry, let's go, take you to eat something first, you come with me!"
"One day and one night!"
Su Chen was stunned for a moment, and then there was a sound of the ghost in his abdomen, and he couldn't help but bow his head and blush.
The man in brocade smiled without saying a word, and took Su Chen to a hall, a good meal, without any scruples about his own image, and devoured it, this is definitely the best meal in life!
A moment later, the man in brocade recounted that everything had happened this day and night.
The night before there was a fire outside the city, someone saw the fire outside the city from afar, our people got the news, immediately rushed to check, when they arrived at your village, the village has been engulfed in fire, the scene is miserable, our people hurriedly put out the fire, and later found the little brother from the search and rescue, we brought you back.
Little brother has passed a day and a night, only you are still alive at present, as for the rest of the village, it is still in the search and rescue at this time, but the village was burned to the ground, and there were corpses all over the ground, as for the others, there is no news so far, and the chance of survival is not very great.
The more the man in brocade said, the more he said, the more frightened he became, he had never seen such a thing!
Su Chen's eyes couldn't help but start to red and swollen, and he choked up and asked, "This big brother, have you ever seen my grandfather!"
"Little brother, I don't know who your grandfather is, but our people have searched and rescued for a day and a night, and there is no news from anyone else, I'm afraid your grandfather has already ......" Saying this, the man couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Grandpa is dead!No, no, this news is thunderous on a sunny day!" Su Chen's tears were about to fall.
"Little brother, our people, the dead people in the village, also brought back, are preparing to be buried after worship, now the dead people, not yet buried, all arranged a Yizhuang manor to place, if you want to go to see, you might as well go to confirm, it's just that there are many corpses, have been burned beyond recognition, almost unrecognizable, you have to be prepared. ”
Su Chen nodded, although he didn't feel good in his heart, he hoped that his grandfather was still alive, so he had to be sure.
After a while, Su Chen followed the man in brocade for a long time and came to a manor with two large characters in front of the door.
The man in brocade seems to have made arrangements, and after the two of them entered the manor, the manor was very large, probably hundreds of zhang spacious.
Su Chen looked at the manor, there were many mahogany coffins, and the man in brocade asked Su Chen seriously a few times, did he really want to identify these corpses?
Su Chen shook his head, these people are his relatives, how can they be afraid of their relatives when they send them on their last journey?
The brocade-clothed man nodded secretly, he couldn't help but admire it secretly in his heart, and then he instructed some people to open the coffin and let Su Chen identify them one by one, the coffins were large and small, and there were dead relatives in the village lying inside, some of the corpses were scorched by the fire, emitting a foul smell, and they couldn't be identified at all, but Su Chen didn't care at all, the corpses in front of him were all his relatives, there were friends he knew, as well as elders, there were neighbors' uncles, aunts, etc...... Seeing this, Su Chen's eyes were red and swollen, and he was about to cry, so he forcibly held back his tears...... This is the people of the village, all of them are his relatives, and overnight, they all died!
In the corner of the coffin on the far left, after opening the coffin, it was Su Chen and his grandfather, Su Chen saw his grandfather's corpse with his own eyes, lying dead in the coffin, looking at each other, and was stunned for a while.
His heart fell to the ice cellar at once, and he couldn't hold back his crying anymore, tears rained down, and tears blurred his eyes.
Su Chen lost too much at once, and there was a heart-rending pain in his heart, it was heartache, it was too painful, his heart was like a knife, he couldn't help crying, and muttered intermittently: "My grandfather is ...... He's dead...... He's dead...... Dead ......!"
"No...... No...... No...... From childhood to adulthood...... Grandpa always loves me so much...... No matter how naughty, from the big things to the trivial ones...... Grandpa, he taught me a lot...... As a child, my parents disappeared...... Grandpa always comforted me and took care of me...... Every time you are naughty, you always blame you...... Grandpa, he protected me and spoke for me...... I used to be ignorant, but in my heart, my grandfather is so good and my favorite person...... Grandpa died...... Grandpa is gone...... Then why am I still alive......"
Su Chen's heart had collapsed to the extreme, this was an unbearable result, and he felt that the sky had fallen.
"Why...... Why...... Why ......"
No one can answer this question, Su Chen was so sad and heartbroken that he fainted directly from crying.
