Chapter 29: The Thunder Tribulation (13)
Jin Xi woke up to the sound of He Xi's crescendo heartbeat and bursts of sobs.
There was no sunlight outside the window spilling into the room, but Jin Xi felt that she couldn't open her eyes, she could feel that she was still lying on He Xi's chest in the same position as last night, and He Xi's heartbeat and sound hit her ears. When her eyes adjusted to the light, Jin Xi gradually cleared her vision, she raised her head, and the first thing that caught her eye made her heart beat faster, the "phoenix" that drilled into her chest had been embedded in the center of the "lightning" on He Xi's chest, a light crimson, like the lips of a newborn.
"He Xi, look! This is the phoenix of that world, and I really met my mother. Jin Xi's weak voice startled herself, thinking about what was wrong with me?
She patronized the excitement, but forgot that this is actually an unspeakable secret, her mother's world, that is the world that goes after death, He Xi's recent sensitivity, is how much effort she spent to escape the forbidden area, but the momentary excitement made Jin Xi forget, and she didn't even react after she said it.
He Xi didn't respond, Jin Xi raised his head and saw a very sad face, his eyes staring straight at the veil on the bed, red and crying.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Ahemγγγγγγ My voice γγγγγγ Didn't you cover me at night? Jin Xi staggered up and sat up straight, dizzy and wanted to vomit, but she suffocated back.
He Xi was still staring at the veil, teary eyes, and sobbing non-stop.
"Oh, ancestor, don't cry all the time, I'm hungry, I want to eat!" Jin Xi's voice was so weak that he could barely hear it.
He Xi still didn't say anything, but he closed his eyes and turned his head sideways, his chest rising and falling because of more severe sobbing.
Jin Xi wanted to reach out and pull the corner of He Xi's clothes, but she couldn't move, she had used up all her strength when she got up, she wondered what was wrong with herself, she didn't do this last night, she just slept a little, why did her body seem to be hollowed out? That phoenix, how did it get to He Xi? Did he fly out on his own after falling asleep?
He Xi's neck muscles flared up, he wanted to cry loudly, but he tried his best to endure it, his face was already red, and he could only make his body tremble more and more with uncontrollable sobs.
Jin Xi was anxious, feeling as if she was going to die, but Yin Yin was still two Yin thunder, she wanted to coax the man in front of her, but she had no spare strength, what was wrong with him crying like this? Could it be that he found out what he unconsciously said last night? The more I think about it, the more dizzy I become, as if I am about to pass in a minute, is this a sense of near-death?
"He Xi, don't cry, okay? I...... Something is wrong with me, I can't move, I'm dizzy, I can't hear myself, can you hear me? Can you hug me? My body doesn't seem to be there. He Xi, He Xi, I can't hear myself anymore, am I talking right? I can't see your face clearly, are you hugging me? Jin Xi was talking to herself, she fell into a semi-comatose state, and at the moment when she was about to fall, He Xi hugged her.
This time it was the sweet taste that woke up Jin Xi, she was in He Xi's arms, and He Xi was feeding her brown sugar water to drink. When her vision gradually became clear, He Xi fed her egg custard again. When her mind gradually cleared, He Xi was sending fruit to her mouth. When she had a little strength, she raised her hand and gently touched He Xi's red and swollen eyes.
"Thank you, come alive!" He Xi choked up, tears coming out of his eyes again.
"Am I dead?" Jin Xi opened his mouth and was able to make a normal sound.
"You're dead four times!" He Xi couldn't hold back any longer, hugged Jin Xi and cried bitterly, Jin Xi's collar was quickly soaked, and tears were hot on his shoulders and neck.
He Xi's voice split as if it had been split by an axe, his body was very cold, and he was shaking badly, not because he was crying, but because he was afraid, He Xi was afraid. Jin Xi hugged him, caressed him, and waited for him to calm down.
Jin Xi was always hugged tightly by He Xi, even if He Xi stopped crying after a long time, only uncontrolled sobbing remained, he was still hugged, his body was still cold and trembling.
"He Xi, I want to cover the quilt!"
"Good!" He Xi got up, covered Jin Xi with the quilt, walked to the table, turned his back to Jin Xi and got something again, and after a while, a small bottle was handed to Jin Xi's mouth, blood tonic oral liquid. Jin Xi was surprised, thinking that there was no such thing for sale on this island, and looked at the table, there were more than a dozen boxes of Hongtongtong.
He Xi also lay down, Jin Xi lay on top of him, and He Xi's heartbeat was much stronger.
"There's a pharmacy on this island?" Jin Xi asked softly.
"No, I asked the innkeeper to help me buy it in the city." He Xi's voice was a little hoarse.
"Oh, what time is it?" Jin Xi asked.
"It's seven o'clock in the morning!" He Xi replied.
"Oh! You didn't sleep last night, just take care of me! β
"Last night? Hehe...... Jin Xi, I haven't slept much in a few daysγγγγγγ He Xi's answer made Jin Xi's eyes widen, she looked at He Xi, did not ask, but thought that it was only for a moment in her mother's world, and it had been many days here.
He Xi hugged Jin Xi tightly, cherishing it as if he had lost it and regained it, and he began to state calmly: "I know, any medicine is useless, the hospital can't cure you, I'm not sure you can't wake up, if you die like this, I'll accompany you, the seventh yin and thunder haven't arrived yet, so you listen to it now, I don't want my heart and memory, so no matter what yin and thunder, I won't accept it, if you force me, I will kill myself!"
He Xi helped Jin Xi sit up again, he ripped open his clothes, and the "tattoo" on his heart was covered by gauze, and the gauze was still red.
"You're γγγγγγ" Jin Xi froze.
"I haven't killed myself yet, because you're breathing again in the early hours of this morning. The sixth Yin Thunder is over, it started in your coma, it ended in your coma, and now there is only the last one left! He Xi closed his neckline.
"He Xi γγγγγγ" Jin Xi was stunned, at a loss.
Tonight, He Xi suffered the fifth thunderstorm in the RV when he came, and Jin Xi's heartbeat stopped for more than a minute at night; In the early morning of the next day, Jin Xi experienced the sixth Yin Thunder Tribulation in a coma, and his heartbeat stopped for fifteen minutes; In the middle of the night on the third day, Jin Xi's heartbeat stopped for forty-five minutes after vomiting a mouthful of blood; On the afternoon of the fourth day, Jin Xi woke up, He Xi couldn't help the tears of excitement, but a few minutes later Jin Xi fainted again, this time, He Xi waited and waited, and waited until the early morning of the fifth day, Jin Xi's body was cold, He Xi couldn't cover the heat, no breathing, no heartbeat, at the beginning He Xi was still very optimistic, thinking that this was only temporary, but when the time passed slowly for more than ten hours, He Xi was already heartbroken, he picked up the fruit knife, slowly pierced his heart, and when the bright red flowed, Jin Xi had a breath.
"You've been lying to me, I don't care anymore and I don't want to hear anything from you. I don't want hearts, I don't want to remember, so don't push me again! He Xi's cold eyes made Jin Xi tremble, and then he hugged Jin Xi and lay down slowly, "I want to sleep, don't go, please!" β
Jin Xi fell into chaos, she didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of her, she actually died and came back to life, and repeated it four times, she also firmly believed in the existence of another world, whether it was heaven or hell, anyway, her mother was there.
Jin Xi thought, He Xi's words are so firm and so calm, maybe it was really what I said in a coma, but no matter what it was, it didn't matter, his heart, his memory, I must return it to him, he had to go back to his life, and I was going to find my mother, she must still be waiting for me in that world.
The noon sun spilled into the room through the mottled bamboo forest outside the window, and shone on He Xi's face through the veil of the bed pavilion, waking He Xi up warmly. He Xi did not have Jin Xi on his chest, this lightness made He Xi afraid, he almost jumped out of bed, facing the empty room, He Xi felt suffocated, he rushed out of the door with bare feet, rushed out of the inn, there was no shadow of Jin Xi as far as he could see, and in an instant, he rushed into the inn again, rushed into the room, he picked up the fruit knife on the coffee table, and pointed to his heart in despair.
"What are you doing?" Jin Xi stood at the door, the food on the tray in his hand still steaming.
He Xi was stunned at the same time, the knife fell to the ground, and the red on the tip of the knife seemed to be steaming.
Jin Xi put down the food and came to He Xi, the blood in his heart had turned red to the light gray waistband of his pants, and there was only a faint light left in his empty eyes.
"I'm just ordering, what are you doing? Are you crazy? Jin Xi treated He Xi's wound and found that the "lightning" on He Xi's chest had disappeared, leaving only the phoenix bird with a light red mark, and she knew that it was one step away.
"Come, let's eat, I want the bamboo shoots again, and this soup they recommended. After eating, we checked out directly, went to climb the mountain, and the front desk told me that the boat station can go from the bamboo forest, we can take the boat directly, and the sea breeze can blow! Jin Xi didn't say anything more, and the two ate silently, the quietest meal.
Shou Tao Mountain is not high, more than 800 meters is easy to climb to the top, on the platform of the top of the mountain, the longevity pavilion is red, not because the pavilion is red, but because the red longevity lock hanging inside and outside the pavilion makes this pavilion look extremely festive.
Jin Xi chose two longevity locks, one on the lock face wrote this night, the other wrote He Xi, and locked the two locks together in a gap next to the pavilion pillar, He Xi looked at all this and said nothing.
"Tonight, we will take a group photo!" Jin Xi took out his mobile phone and took two selfies.
Descending from the other side of the mountain, you will arrive at the verdant Shouxian bamboo forest, there are not many people, and occasionally couples stroll by. The bamboo here is very thick, very tall, it looks like it has been some years, bursts of green bamboo fragrance come to the face, Jin Xi takes a deep breath, enjoying the breath that is still in the world.
The two walked slowly in the forest, without communication, He Xi clutched the shoulder strap of the backpack, his eyes were full of fear, sweat flowed down his neck into the collar, his breath was trembling, and then his body was trembling, he deliberately distanced himself from Jin Xi, and looked up at the thin sky covered by bamboo leaves from time to time, until they walked out of the bamboo forest and walked past a boulder with "Immortal Island" written on it.
"This is another entrance, then follow this path and we'll be to the beach." Jin Xi pointed to the road ahead, but He Xi was on the other side of the road.
"You're enough, there's no need to stay so far away from me!" Jin Xi was a little stunned, but he didn't know how to spend the time before the arrival of the seventh Yin Thunder Tribulation with He Xi.
He Xi lowered his head and didn't speak, stumbling forward, his feet were as heavy as wearing shackles, Jin Xi couldn't help it, three steps and two steps came to He Xi's side, He Xi hurriedly dodged like a beast, and fell to the ground unsteadily, Jin Xi went to help him, he shouted in horror: "Go away, you go away!"
"Am I no, am I a monster? Don't you do that? Jin Xi hugged He Xi and didn't let go.
"Don't be like this, Jin Xi, you're going to die, I don't want you to die, it's coming, you run, leave me alone, I don't want anything, you go, please go quickly, I don't need you, I don't love you, you stay away from me, it's coming, it's coming soonγγγγγγ" He Xi trembled and struggled in Jin Xi's arms.
Just like He Xi's premonition, the sky began to look strange, and the dark clouds from nowhere under the clear sky densed over the two of them, Jin Xi raised her head, and sighed in her heart, she subconsciously locked He Xi tighter, and began to say silently in her heart: "He Xi, forget me, forget me, forget me!"
"Jin Xi, let's go, it's coming, please go! Let go of me, let go of me! He Xi screamed in horror, and the pain of tearing his heart hit, and he used all his strength to break free from Jin Xi's embrace, but Jin Xi's arm locked He Xi like an iron lock.
The two of them were instantly wrapped in a ball of lightning light, and the dense dark clouds above their heads continued to inject electricity into this ball of light, He Xi cried hysterically, Jin Xi did not move at all, and at the moment of a moment, He Xi used all his strength to take out the fruit knife hidden in his pocket, and stretched it up along the gap in his abdomen with difficulty, he shouted "I don't want it", and the knife stabbed obliquely into the heart from below.
In an instant, the ball of light disappeared, the dark clouds dissipated, the Yin Thunder Tribulation was interrupted by He Xi's blood, Jin Xi fell beside him, the bright red of He Xi's heart fell to the ground, he stumbled up, and stayed away with the only remaining strength, and then away, saw the sea, he staggered and ran towards the sea, and then, he fell.
The blood dripping down the way gathered beside Jin Xi as if it had been magical, and drilled into Jin Xi's heart, and it was also at this moment that Jin Xi's body disappeared.
