Chapter 1 The Third Flower in the World
The woman's man suddenly collapsed.
Because she is pregnant, women rarely go out, so they give many trivial things to their men.
It was one day shortly after the start of autumn.
Before the man went out, he was still asking her in a low voice, what do you want to eat today, she held her slightly bulging lower abdomen, sat in the yard and thought about it, and said if you want to eat stewed pork ribs with radish.
A quarter of an hour later, the man was carried back by a neighbor.
There was a quick knock on the courtyard door, and the woman didn't understand what was happening, so she cautiously ran over and opened the door, and when she saw the man lying in front of the courtyard gate covered in blood and surrounded by many people, the woman was stunned for a long time, thinking how could they carry such a person to their own house?
It's just that when she saw the vegetable basket tightly held in the man's hand, the whole person fainted instantly.
When the woman woke up again, she was already in the room, and Aunt Li in the courtyard next door in the alley was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at herself with a sad expression, seeing that she had opened her eyes, and quickly brought some very reluctant smiles.
"Are you awake?"
The woman nodded, and lay there again, unable to remember what had happened.
Aunt Li was there with some remorse, and said in a rambling voice: "We were also frightened at the time, forgetting that you were pregnant, and just took care of bringing him back in a hurry....."
β..... The doctor has already come, fortunately the child in your belly is fine, and thanks to my man's quick eyes, he ran over and helped you, otherwise ......"
β...... Alas...... Why did you say this happened......"
The woman's mind was in a trance, and it was clear that Aunt Li was not speaking quickly, but there were some things that she didn't seem to hear.
There was some aroma coming from the room, like the smell of stewed pork ribs with radish, which was probably cooked and mixed with the taste of the ribs, which was very sweet.
The woman's mind was distracted a little, but she soon became dazed againβjust hurrying to bring him back. Who is being brought back?
Images of bright red hues flashed through my mind.
The woman subconsciously thought of You Chunshan, I heard that he went to the East China Sea Tianya Sword Sect, could it be that he fought with people in the sky and was beaten down?
But how did you suddenly wake up in your room?
The woman slowly shifted and sat up, thinking quietly.
She used to be childhood sweethearts with You Chunshan, in fact, everyone in the alley knew about it, and her own men also knew it.
Last time, You Chunshan and the others suddenly appeared in the alley, and they talked to her about something, which is not a secret, after all, the two of them were in the alley openly, talking about the people in the sky and the things in the sky.
She even told her man about this matter, after she became pregnant, sometimes she was in a bad mood, and she would say something like she knew that I had left with You Chunshan to vent her anger.
The woman sat there silently, thinking about many things, not at all hearing the things that Aunt Li said.
It took a long time before the woman raised her eyes to look at the woman sitting on the edge of the bed, and said with a slight smile: "Aunt Li, go out and see if those ribs are too stewed?" β
Aunt Li stopped talking, looked at the woman again and again, and finally didn't say anything, just sighed, stood up, and said, "Okay." β
It wasn't until the woman next door left the room that the woman finally lowered her head and began to sob.
What is there that you can't hear all of a sudden?
What's something you can't remember all of a sudden?
......
When the man went out to buy groceries, he was made like this by a sword light that shuttled through the world.
That sword light flew so high that even if it stacked ten thousand worlds, it might not be able to reach it.
It's just like when they fought in the East China Sea, no matter how stable Jian Xiu's hand is, no matter how good Jian Xiu's eyes are, some sword intent will eventually get out of control and escape to the world, so it will fall from the high sky, like a banana leaf, through the body of the world.
The man's hand was broken somewhere at that time, and one of his ears was also cut off, but what was more serious was that some of those sword intent remained, and it was in the man's body, even if the best doctor in Qingjiao City came, those remaining sword intent in the body would be difficult to dissolve.
There are some East China Sea sword cultivators in Qingjiao City, but probably the realm is not very high, and the people in the alley have been looking for a long time before finally finding one that looks more powerful.
It's just that after the man saw it, he was also a little worried, that residual sword intent was obviously the sword intent of the human cliff master realm, although it was only a trace of overflow, but the gap in the sword intent level also made him a little helpless.
The woman named Chen Lanhua said thank you to the Jian Xiu who shook his head and left, and when he was far away, she didn't return to the courtyard, just stood at the gate of the courtyard, holding on to the door, and looked at the alley attentively.
It took a long time for Aunt Li to walk back from the alley with a vegetable basket, looked at Chen Lanhua with concern, and asked, "How is it?" Do those who use swords have a way? β
Chen Lanhua came back to her senses, her eyes drooped, she shook her head, and said, "They don't have a way. β
In fact, when that sword cultivator left, he hesitated for a long time and said something like this to Chen Lanhua.
"We can't do anything about such a thing, your man..... Alas, this can only be said to be unlucky, there must be people in the world who can save him, but those people, how can you find them? Moreover, in the entire East China Sea, the sword cultivators in the upper realm are in a panic all day long, Zhang Xiaoyu has been killing people in the East China Sea, and no one dares to move around rashly in the world......"
Jian Xiu finally looked at Chen Lanhua with regret, and then at her belly, which had been pregnant for several months.
"Girl, if you want me to say, you are still fine, giving birth to this child can be regarded as leaving a queen for your man, you are still young, and in the future, you can always meet some men who are willing to take care of you....."
That forty-year-old Donghai Sword Cultivator was indeed a good person, otherwise he wouldn't be willing to come and help them.
It's just that it's not what a good person says that can be accepted by the world.
Chen Lanhua silently held on to the door, stood there, looked at Aunt Li who was sighing, and looked at such an alley, and after a long time, she said softly: "But he said that there must be someone in the world who can save him." β
The words that the sword cultivator said, probably only the woman heard such a sentence.
Aunt Li stood there with a vegetable basket, looked at Chen Lanhua and said softly: "But such a person must be a very high celestial figure, where can we see such a person?" β
Chen Lanhua was silent for a long time, and said softly, "I want to go to the East China Sea Tianya Sword Sect to have a look." β
Aunt Li seemed to suddenly understand something, looked at Chen Lanhua with some surprise, and then looked at her stomach, and said after a long time: "The East China Sea Sword Sect is very far away from Qingjiao City. Besides, there are so many Sword Sects in the East China Sea, how do you know where the Tianya Sword Sect is? Although we also know that the young man named You Chunshan is a good person, when you got married, he also came over to give you some gifts. But you also know that after all, he is already a person in the cultivation world, who knows what he will become? When you go to him, and he doesn't see you, what can you do? You're already pregnant, Orchid, don't talk about that, even if there's something bad on the road......"
Chen Lanhua held on to the door, her nails were picking at the door very hard, her lips were tightly pursed, her eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and her expression was sad.
"Then what should I do, Aunt Li?"
Aunt Li fell silent.
Chen Lanhua also didn't say anything, turned around silently, and returned to the courtyard.
......
Of course, the doctors in the city can heal the physical injuries.
Even if it is a broken hand or foot, it is probably still not a very serious matter.
It's just that just like that sword cultivator said, those sword intent remaining in the body are something they can't do.
When Aunt Li next door goes out to buy vegetables, she often helps to bring some back, but Chen Lanhua doesn't need to go out, she takes care of her man at home every day and does some simple things.
It's just that the man's physical condition is still getting worse day by day.
After all, he is just a man of the world, and after being unconscious for such a long time, even if Chen Lanhua will feed him as much food as possible every day, it is still difficult to carry many things after all.
The neighbors in the alley naturally did their best, running around the city to find sword cultivation, looking for doctors, and raising some money as much as possible, so as not to make Chen Lanhua too embarrassed, after all, the cost of soup and medicine had already been spent a lot. Even if You Chunshan said that Chen Lanhua became a relative to someone else because he had no money, the man was naturally not a rich and noble person, but compared to You Chunshan, he only had some savings.
At the beginning of August, when Aunt Li came back from shopping for vegetables, she knocked on the courtyard door of Chen Lanhua's house, knocked for a long time, but did not open the door, so she panicked a little, pushed the door hard, and found that the door was tethered, because she was worried that Chen Lanhua would do something bad, she hurriedly ran home with a vegetable basket, called her own man, ran over and hurriedly smashed the door open, and the yard was empty, which further aggravated the bad premonition in Aunt Li's heart, after all, the weather is better these days, and Chen Lanhua sometimes moves men out to bask in the sun. Sometimes I would sit in the yard and bask in the sun.
When she didn't see anything, Aunt Li suddenly chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly ran towards the house with her own man.
However, not only in the courtyard, but also in the house, the two searched all the rooms, and they didn't see Chen Lanhua and his man, who were frowning all day long.
"It's broken, I'm afraid it's not a well."
Aunt Li's man suddenly patted his head and ran towards the yard in a hurry, and Aunt Li hurriedly followed.
There were some leaves falling from the well in the courtyard, and there were no very messy traces, but the two of them did not dare to take it lightly, so they still lay at the mouth of the well and looked around for a while.
Just as Aunt Li was hesitating to go down the well to take a look, a very surprised voice came from the gate of the courtyard.
"What are you doing?"
When the two turned around, they saw a very strange young man holding some miscellaneous objects, looking at them with a frown, and seeing that the two were stunned there, he said very vigilantly: "What are you doing in my house, stealing things?" β
Aunt Li and the others were still in a daze, not knowing what was going on, the young man had already put down his things very neatly, picked up a piece of firewood from the yard, and had the posture of starting his hands without saying a word.
Only then did Aunt Li come back to her senses and hurriedly waved her hand.
"Wait, wait, don't do it yet, who are you? What about Chen Orchid? β
The young man was stunned, as if he understood something, put down the firewood in his hand a little, looked at Aunt Li and asked suspiciously, "You mean the woman who sold me the yard?" β
......
Chen Lanhua sold the yard.
Aunt Li didn't know when she did these things, but when the young man took out the deed in black and white, the two finally believed this fact.
After the young man learned the reason for these things, he didn't bother with Aunt Li about the fact that they smashed the courtyard gate, but also told them that after Chen Lanhua sold the yard at that time, she also asked herself to help buy an ox cart, saying that she wanted to take her man back to his hometown to have a look.
When Aunt Li heard this, she already understood.
Chen Lanhua's hometown is in a small town outside Qingjiao City.
It's just that they also know that such a small town, as early as March this year, was destroyed by those sword intent because of the fight between the people in the sky. In addition, Chen Lanhua said about You Chunshan at the beginning, and the two naturally knew where Chen Lanhua went.
In the end, she probably chose to go to the sword cultivation place on the other side of the Sword Cliff to have a look.
At this point, Aunt Li and the others had no choice, but they kept apologizing to the young man, and then left the courtyard very embarrassed.
Walking to the alley, Aunt Li picked up her vegetable basket again, and there were some vegetables bought for Chen Lanhua in it.
"I'm stupid, really."
Aunt Li looked at the alley with a vegetable basket and sighed.
"I should have guessed these things when she suddenly said the other day that I was going to help take care of his man, and that she was going out to buy some medicine."
Chen Lanhua never mentioned the matter of going to You Chunshan later, so Aunt Li also thought that she had already let go of this idea, and planned to stay in the alley in peace and give birth to the child.
It's just that she didn't expect that Chen Lanhua had never given up on these things.
Which is more important, a man or a child?
Aunt Li let out a long sigh.
......
After the rise of Mojian Cliff in that year, the East China Sea once became the most prosperous place in the world.
If you walk from the foot of the mountain, the road is always wide and flat, and the cow is also very docile, and there are no big bumps on the road, and when the old cow is hungry, it stops and eats some grass on the side of the road.
At this time, Chen Lanhua would also get out of the car, move a small pot, and cook meals on the side of the road.
Chen Lanhua sometimes feels that his man seems to have become a person who grows out of the snow, because his face is indeed too pale, Chen Lanhua thought about such a thing, and sat down in the front of the car again, holding the bowl of the rotten vegetable soup, pillowing the man's head on his lap, and feeding him little by little.
When the man eats some vegetable soup, his face will be more ruddy, which will indeed make Chen Lanhua's heart settle down a little, and after feeding the man some food, Chen Lanhua will sit down on the side of the road, while eating, while looking at the big black cow that is temporarily untied and eating grass on the side of the road.
In fact, even if one afternoon, this woman made a very firm decision to go to the East China Sea to find that glimmer of hope, but when she really sold the yard, walked out of Qingjiao City, and headed towards the south of the world, her heart was still terrified and dazed.
Just like Aunt Li said.
Will you be able to get there?
Can you find the place called the Tianya Sword Sect?
Will You Chunshan still remember the old love in the past?
Everything, of course, is unknown.
The man in the bullock cart made some noises - at first, Chen Lanhua was always surprised to think that he was about to wake up.
It was only later that I found out that it was not.
The unconscious man with sword intent in his body will sometimes spit out the food that Chen Lanhua fed him little by little, like a picky child, Chen Lanhua can only sigh and wipe the filth away, and then look at the man in a daze very sadly.
It's autumn in the world, and although there are many Pingchuan meadows in the East China Sea, they can't help but have some wilting meanings.
So the miscanthus on the side of the road also became sharp.
The old cow didn't eat for long, so he didn't eat any more, walked back slowly, and stopped in front of the car.
Chen Lanhua hurriedly helped her man clean up the filth on his face, and carefully confirmed that his throat was not stuck, then he returned to the side of the road, hurriedly finished eating food, and packed up all his things, and then continued to sit in the ox cart, along the main road, in the direction of the East China Sea Sword Sect.
It is true that the East China Sea used to be prosperous, but after the story in March of this year, it has also become scarce.
Chen Lanhua went all the way, sometimes she would see some towns on the road, and when she walked through the town, she only saw many houses that had been cut down by the sword intent, and streets with few pedestrians.
The horses' hooves clattered, the cows' hooves became duller, and the wheels creaked through the streets of those towns toward the other end.
When Chen Lanhua was at the end of the town, she finally heard some lively voices - the north of the town was destroyed by the sword intent, so the people went to the empty building, and there were still some people in the south of the town.
Chen Lanhua stopped in front of a vendor selling hats somewhere, and after thinking about it for a long time, she decided to buy a hat for the two.
After all, it was autumn now, and she didn't know how long she would have to walk to get to the Sword Cliff, and it was always necessary to take some measures to protect herself from the cold.
Chen Lanhua picked it up seriously in front of the stall.
The people of the town suddenly looked up at the sky, and then many people left in a hurry.
Chen Lanhua raised her head a little unconsciously, only to see that above the sky, there was a very bright and lofty sword light that suddenly disappeared, leaving a very deep sword mark that had not been dispersed for a long time in everyone's vision.
A sword breaks through the clouds, and I don't know where it falls.
Chen Lanhua lowered her head and continued to pick up her hat, thinking about where she could go?
It's just the world.
