Chapter 55: Gazing into the Abyss
The sound of the bell is distant and ethereal, as if it is coming from far away, but yet it seems to be right in front of you. One after another, each sound seemed to hit Xu Yunhe's heart, like an initiation, a burst of coolness and tranquility suddenly poured into Xu Yunhe's chaotic heart.
What is a little strange is that Xu Yunhe screamed hoarsely for so long before, but there was no echo in the dense woods. The bell rang out of nowhere, but it echoed in the woods for a long time. One after another, all of them crashed into Xu Yunhe's heart, making his heart feel confused.
The bell rang out, and the "Xu Chengzhi" below suddenly changed his face.
He glared at Xu Yunhe, who looked confused, unwillingly, and dropped a sentence viciously: "You are lucky today!
Dropping this sentence, 'Xu Chengzhi' immediately ran outside without looking back. The footsteps were dull and fast, and after a while, he could no longer be heard.
What's the matter, he was still biting on it just now, why did he let himself go as soon as the bell rang?
That's it?
Xu Yunhe's heart was still vigilant, and he was worried that the other party was playing a trick to capture and indulge, so he still stayed on the tree and didn't move.
Time passed bit by bit, and Xu Yunhe was still sitting on the tree, very calm.
The sky darkened, and the woods, which were already poorly lit, became even more gloomy, as if night had fallen.
Xu Yunhe was still sitting on the tree, it was already dark, although he kept reminding himself not to fall asleep, but the water and rice had not entered for a long time, coupled with the desperate pursuit of "Xu Chengzhi" before, had already made him physically and mentally exhausted. Although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, as time passed, the drowsiness became stronger and stronger, which made him involuntarily close his eyes, slowly lie down on the tree, and fell asleep.
Sleepy and hungry, Xu Yunhe slept deeply. As soon as he felt the past, he had forgotten about the existence of the event.
"Yunhe! Yunhe! Wake up! Wake up!" Sleeping soundly, Xu Yunhe suddenly heard a voice ringing in his ears, very eager.
Xu Yunhe opened his eyes in a daze, sleepy-eyed.
A vague figure in front of him slowly became clear.
"Chengfang, why are you here?" The person in front of him was actually Xu Chengfang, and Xu Yunhe sat up in shock.
"Why am I here? I'm not here, so where should I be?" Xu Chengfang looked at Xu Yunhe a little strangely, "Are you sleepy?
"I ......" Xu Yunhe rubbed his eyes vigorously and stood up from the ground, only to feel that his heart was chaotic, he obviously thought of something, but he couldn't really grasp it.
"Chengfang! Have you ever seen a person who looks like Xu Chengzhi? He is exactly the same as Xu Chengzhi, I almost died at his hands!" Xu Yunhe suddenly thought of the previous experience of being chased and killed, and hurriedly reminded Xu Chengfang.
"People who look like Xu Chenghe?Yunhe, are you okay?" Xu Chengfang looked at Xu Yunhe's eyes becoming more and more weird.
"What can I do? You shouldn't have met him, right? That person is very powerful, if you do, you must be more careful!Oh, by the way!" Xu Yunhe suddenly thought of a very embarrassing question, and said with some embarrassment, "Can you borrow me a piece of clothing to wear? The clothes on my body were destroyed when I was crossing the desert, and now I ...... them."
"Borrow clothes?Yunhe, are you really okay?" Xu Chengfang reached out and touched Xu Yunhe's forehead, with a worried face.
"What are you messing about! You're in trouble! I'll tell you what to do!" Xu Yunhe saw that Xu Chengfang actually regarded himself as a child with a fever and talking nonsense, so he was angry and laughed, and knocked off the other party's outstretched hand with one hand.
"Your clothes are ruined, so what is this one on your body?" Xu Chengfang looked at Xu Yunhe's eyes and turned into worry, and stretched out his finger to Xu Yunhe's body.
"I don't have anything on me...... I didn't ......" Xu Yunhe lowered his head, and was about to refute Xu Chengfang, but he was shocked to find that the clothes on his body were well dressed, except for some folds pressed out by sleeping, it was clearly the one he wore when he went out, and he was not as defenseless as he thought he was.
What's going on? When did you get dressed?
"Yunhe, what's wrong with you?, why are you talking so strangely?" Looking at Xu Yunhe's sluggish appearance, Xu Chengfang was even more worried.
"Oh...... It's okay!" Xu Yunhe didn't want Xu Chengfang to worry, so he hurriedly shook his head.
"Is it really okay?" Xu Chengfang's concern did not subside.
"It's okay! it's really okay!" Xu Yunhe nodded vigorously, and then added, "You let me sort out my thoughts first, I just woke up, and my brain is a little messy." ”
Xu Chengfang nodded, stood aside and looked at Xu Yunhe, but his eyes kept locked on him.
Xu Yunhe sat down again, his eyes drooping, and he began to try to sort out his chaotic thoughts.
The thoughts in my head became more and more confused, but it was very strange, and gradually, the original memory gradually dissipated, and it seemed to ...... It seems like...... Myself...... I've been wearing clothes all the time!
Perhaps, I didn't sleep last night!
Xu Yunhe stood up, and the confusion in his eyes had faded.
He walked up to Xu Chengfang and smiled slightly: "Okay, tell me, how did you get here?"
"How did you get here?" Yunhe, the two of us have been here all the time!" Looking at Xu Yunhe's clear eyes, Xu Chengfang's already relieved heart lifted up again, "The two of us have been walking together since we started, and the two of us slept together last night, why are you saying so strange?"
"All the time?" Xu Yunhe flashed a memory fragment in his mind, but then disappeared in an instant, hesitated for a moment, he nodded a little slowly, "It seems like this......"
Xu Chengfang reached out and grabbed Xu Yunhe's shoulder, approached him, and asked in a low voice, "Yunhe, have you encountered anything strange? How do you feel? Are you dizzy? Let me see if there are any wounds on your body!"
"Don't mess around!" Xu Chengfang raised his hand and was about to lift Xu Yunhe's clothes, Xu Yunhe smiled and scolded and dodged away, "I'm fine, you sleep with me, you're fine, how can I be fine?"
"Is it really okay?, then why are you talking so strangely?" The doubt in Xu Chengfang's eyes had not disappeared.
"It's really fine, this ...... It was a nightmare I had last night! When I woke up, I couldn't remember anything I did in the alliance!"
"Dream?" Xu Chengfang's eyes widened suddenly, and then he punched Xu Yunhe in the shoulder, "You kid!
"Hehe......" Xu Yunhe could only smirk.
"Third son, Yunhe, the eldest prince is invited!" A person suddenly walked over next to him and said in a respectful voice.
Xu Yunhe was a little familiar when he heard the voice, turned his head to look, and found that the person was Xu Chengzhi, and his face changed suddenly.
An arrow stepped forward, Xu Yunhe stopped half a meter in front of the other party, and said with a vigilant face: "Do you have to kill them all like this?"
"What is it to kill them all?" Xu Chengzhi looked confused, looked at Xu Yunhe, who was not kind in front of him, and looked at Xu Chengfang next to him very innocently.
"What? I don't remember? You were the one who injured me just now! Why, do you still want to play this kind of disguise trick?" Xu Yunhe's voice was even colder.
"Yunhe, what are you talking nonsense!" Xu Chengfang next to him walked over, grabbed Xu Yunhe's shoulder, turned his head and nodded at Xu Chengzhi, "You go back first, Yunhe is sleeping with hysteria, don't go to your heart!"
Xu Chengfang glanced at Xu Chengfang gratefully, and then turned to leave. Before leaving, he deliberately glanced back at Xu Yunhe.
"Yunhe, what the hell are you doing? What kind of dream are you doing, why haven't you woken up yet?" Xu Chengfang turned to look at Xu Yunhe and asked.
"I ......" Xu Yunhe suddenly felt a dizziness in his head, and reached out and pressed it on his forehead, and a memory that was originally clear began to become more and more blurred again.
"It's okay...... It's okay......" Xu Yunhe shook his head vigorously, "My brain is a little messy, I'll be fine in a while...... ...... in a moment"
"Yunhe ......" Before Xu Chengfang's words were finished, a large group of people suddenly came from somewhere else.
"Chengfang, why has it been delayed for so long, and you haven't come here yet? I don't know if everyone is waiting for you?" The first person to come over was Xu Chengye, who looked at Xu Chengfang and Xu Yunhe with some coldness.
"Yunhe's body is a little uncomfortable, I ......" Xu Chengfang was about to explain, but was interrupted by another person.
"It's not a woman, why are there so many things? If it's useless, go back quickly, we don't have idlers here!" Duanmu Feiyu said disdainfully.
"Everyone, look at this kid's white and pure appearance, isn't he a girl?Is it the one who comes every month, our third son Xu is considerate and is helping him change that ......" Gongye Lotte roe deer came out of the crowd with a rat look, and the viciousness in his words was more than the cold hatred in his eyes.
"Shut up!" Gongye Lotte's words were really unbearable, Xu Yunhe endured it for a long time, and finally didn't hold back this angry reprimand.
"Boy, are you talking to me? Are you sure you just said it to me? Do you dare to repeat that fart you just let out and repeat it to me?" Gongye Lotte took two steps closer, and a pair of mung bean eyes burst out with a heavy killing intent.
"Gongye Lotte, if you don't apologize to the two of us now, I promise, today, your Gongye family will have one less son!" Xu Cheng sank like water, and said word by word, his voice was cold to the bone.
"Brother Chengye, your Xu family, is that how you treat guests? An insignificant child of the side branch, in the eyes of the third son of Xu, actually has such a big weight? This is really unusual, when the four elders of our family come, I must talk to him well! Such an arrogant child of the side branch, our Duanmu family has never seen it!" Duanmu Feiyu glanced at Xu Yunhe disdainfully, and then looked at Xu Chengye with a sneer.
Xu Chengye's face was gloomy, and after listening to Duanmu Feiyu's words, he slowly raised his head and looked at Duanmu Feiyu: "How about the children of our Xu family, we won't work hard for Duanmu Gongzi." The fourth elder of your family, my third uncle also misses him!"
Duanmu Feiyu froze for a moment, and the smile on his face froze.
After speaking, Xu Chengye took two steps forward, walked in front of Xu Chengfang, and said expressionlessly: "Chengfang, you dodge." ”
"Big brother, don't ......" Xu Chengfang glanced back at Xu Yunhe, and looked at Xu Chengye with some begging.
"I said, get out of the way!" Xu Chengye's voice suddenly raised, his eyes pressed towards Xu Chengfang, and he lowered his voice and said, "Don't forget, I'm your eldest brother!"
After speaking, Xu Chengye stretched out his hand to push Xu Chengfang away, walked in front of Xu Yunhe, and looked at him expressionlessly.
Xu Chengye's figure is very tall, and Xu Yunhe, who is only fifteen years old now, is half a head worse than him, and can only look up slightly at the other party's cold eyes.
"Apologies. Xu Chengye said expressionlessly.
"Nope. Xu Yunhe replied very simply.
"Smack!" With a crisp sound, Xu Yunhe's body was thrown out.
Xu Yunhe covered his left cheek with one hand, and looked coldly at Xu Chengye, who was still expressionless.
The left half of his cheek was already visibly swollen. On the left side of the lip, there was also a clear blood mark.
Just now, Xu Chengye mercilessly slapped Xu Yunhe.
"Apologies. Xu Chengye's voice did not change at all.
"Nope. Xu Yunhe shook his head, still very crisp.
Xu Chengye walked over, and Xu Chengfang next to him suddenly grabbed him: "Big brother, don't fight! This is our Xu family's business, when will it be the turn of outsiders to intervene......?"
"Third brother, before you speak, you have to think clearly, what is your identity!" Xu Chengye's voice was much colder.
"Big brother!" Xu Chengfang shouted, but still didn't let go.
"Let go ......" Xu Chengye just called out a word, and his voice stopped abruptly.
He slowly lowered his head and looked at his chest, where he suddenly had an extra dagger.
The dagger stabbed deep into the heart of his left chest, thrust deeply, leaving only a short handle on the outside. Crimson blood flowed down the handle of the dagger, and soon, the robe on his chest was stained blood-red. The blood flowed beneath his body, and on the ground, it accumulated into a puddle of blood, and it was still rapidly expanding its area.
Xu Chengye raised his head very slowly, turned the direction little by little, and looked at the pale Xu Yunhe. A strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Very good...... Very good......"
In a very low voice, Xu Chengye muttered. The tall body suddenly collapsed. He fell heavily to the ground, stirring up the dust on the ground.
"Cloud Crane...... You ......" Xu Chengfang looked at the blood on Xu Yunhe's hand in shock, and he was speechless.
"I'm ......" Xu Yunhe's face was pale and still trembling slightly.
He slowly raised his hands, the palms of which were white and slender, only now, stained with some red blood spots. The white palms and red blood spots were so obvious that Xu Yunhe only felt that his eyes were a little tingling.
"How can this be, how can this be, how can it be ......" Xu Yunhe kept repeating this sentence, his face was terrifyingly pale.
He didn't understand how he could have stabbed him. He couldn't even imagine that he was obviously empty-handed and defenseless, so where did that sharp dagger come from?
I killed again, and this is the third time.
Xu Siping, Xu Chengtao, Xu ...... Inheritance!
The first two people either had an enmity with themselves, or they took the initiative to attack and wanted to take their own lives. If you kill yourself, you will kill it, at most, you will only be depressed for a while, but there will be no major trouble. But the person I killed today, this person, is far from that simple!
The future heir of the Xu family, the hope of the next generation of the Xu family, was killed by himself!
How so, how so?
Xu Yunhe grabbed his hair in pain and squatted on the ground. It was already a mess of thoughts, but at the moment, it was even more chaotic.
If I kill Xu Chengye, the Xu family will not let me go, and everyone will not let me go. They will kill me, they will torture me with all kinds of torture. I'm going to die, I'm going to die......
No, no, I can't die yet!
I haven't seen Master yet, I haven't found out who killed my mother is, I can't die!
My mother's revenge has not been avenged, how can I die, and Yan Yan, if I die, I will never see her again...... I don't want to die...... Don't die...... I don't want ......
"Yunhe ......" Xu Chengfang suddenly opened his mouth, but he had always been Zhishu talking and laughing, and this time his voice trembled uncontrollably.
Xu Yunhe did not answer, nor did he stand up. He just crouched there, muttering "can't die, can't die", but his voice was so low that he couldn't even hear it.
"I'm sorry......" Xu Chengfang's voice suddenly became more apologetic.
With a pain in his body, Xu Yunhe, who had been burying his head, opened his eyes in amazement, did not stand up, but just looked down at the little bright edge that came out of his chest.
"I'm sorry...... Yunhe ......" Xu Chengfang looked at Xu Yunhe with an apologetic face, and his voice trembled even more, "You killed my eldest brother, I am the third son of the Xu family, I can't help but help him avenge." I'm sorry...... I'm really sorry...... I don't want that either...... Sorry ......"
Xu Yunhe didn't say anything, there was no joy or sadness on his face, no anger, and even the initial surprise slowly disappeared.
He just looked up slowly, looking at the pale color on Xu Chengfang's face, and then the specks of blood that fell on his hands.
Xu Yunhe lowered his head, looked at the blood stains on his hands that were exactly the same as the other party, and stared quietly.
After a moment, he closed his eyes. From the corner of his eye, a crystal tear slowly flowed out.
Then he fell to the ground. Just like Xu Chengye before, he fell heavily to the ground and collapsed softly into a large font.
Under the sun, the last piece of blue deeply stung Xu Yunhe's eyes. That was his last impression of the world.
