Chapter 42
After being in a coma for I don't know how long, Zhou Chenhai woke up again, and the whole person was still dizzy.
He struggled to sit up and looked around, and in front of him was a wooden house with a square wooden table and a small chair.
He was lying on a wooden bed, and there was a person lying on the floor, and when he looked closely, it was the unconscious Zhong Yujian.
Zhou Chenhai shouted: "Old, wake up quickly! If you don't wake up, Liu Qingmeng will come to kill you!"
Zhong Yujian shouted in fright: "Don't kill me!
After howling, he sat up and looked around, not even seeing Liu Qingmeng's shadow.
"Second brother, your uncle! scared Lao Tzu to death. ”
"Hahaha! In your dream, you still want to fly with Liu Qingmeng. Watch out for her little throwing knife stabbing you in the chest. ”
Zhou Chenhai smiled and leaned back together, and his head was much clearer.
"I'm too lazy to argue with you. We don't know what happened to us after we fell unconscious, so let's see where we are. ”
"At my residence. A voice said outside the door.
............
The sound of words sounded like an electric current passing through Zhou Chenhai's body. He never forgot that familiar voice.
But it was all so sudden, like a dream, that he couldn't believe it was real.
Until the man pushed open the door and stood in front of him.
A lot of words I wanted to say were now choked up in my throat. There is joy, excitement, anxiety, uneasiness, mixed moods, completely released at this moment.
The woman in front of her was kind-eyed, with a smile on her face and tears in the corners of her eyes.
He stepped forward and pulled the woman in front of him tightly.
"Aunt Yun, is that you?
"It's me. Me, of course. Aunt Yun gently stroked Zhou Chenhai's face.
Such a familiar and kind person is Aunt Yun, the mother of his fourth brother Zhang Xiaoyun.
"Xiaohai, you have grown up. Aunt Yun looked at Zhou Chenhai in front of her with mixed feelings.
She asked softly, "How are you doing all these years?"
Zhou Chenhai was full of joy, but he couldn't help but redden.
"Aunt Yun, I'm doing well...... Good!"
In the past three years, although Zhou Chenhai misses his family, there are many people who really treat him by his side, and he has lived happily in the end. A thousand words, turned into a good word.
"That's good, that's good. Good boy, I didn't expect to see you again. ”
"Aunt Yun, I didn't expect you to be here. You brought me here?"
Aunt Yun smiled and said, "You were unconscious on the road and I saw you. At first, I didn't recognize you, but I just wanted to find out if there was anything useful about you. But after seeing your appearance, I gradually reacted, so I carried you back. ”
Aunt Yun turned to look at Zhong Yujian and said, "I wronged this little brother, when I wanted to carry you away, your hand grabbed him and didn't let go." I guess this little brother must have been with you all the way, so he brought it back. ”
"It's just that the distance is far, and I can't support it for too long, so I can only carry one person. This little brother was dragged back by me, and I can't help it. ”
Zhong Yujian was still wondering why he had so many bruises on his body. After listening to what Aunt Yun said, he smiled honestly and said, "No, no, thank you Aunt Yun for saving me back." Aunt Yun doesn't have to be polite, just call me Xiaojian!"
Zhou Chenhai was originally a little sad, but when he heard Zhong Yujian ask Aunt Yun to call him Xiaojian, he couldn't help laughing.
Aunt Yun said again: "You have been in a coma for two hours, if I hadn't fed you to drink the antidote decoction when you were unconscious, I'm afraid you wouldn't wake up so soon." ”
"You mean we were poisoned?" Zhou Chenhai was puzzled.
"Yes, you inhaled the mist, and there was toxins in it. The mist in this valley is actually a gas released by a special plant, and if inhaled into the body, although it is not fatal, it can make people unconscious. ”
"No wonder we fall all of a sudden. But Aunt Yun, how can you be okay?" asked Zhou Chenhai.
Aunt Yun smiled and said, "I've lived here for three years, so naturally I've found an antidote. I also fed you to take it, and now you don't have to worry about fog poisoning anymore. ”
Zhou Chenhai was surprised in his heart, "Three years, why is Aunt Yun here? Could it be that my father and mother are also here?"
He hurriedly asked, "Aunt Yun, why did you live here for three years? How are the fourth uncles? What about the other uncles? Are they also here? How are my fathers and mothers?"
After listening to Zhou Chenhai's series of questions, Aunt Yun's body trembled.
"You are a ...... of the four uncles"
Suddenly, Aunt Yun's footsteps softened, and she almost wanted to fall. Zhou Chenhai saw it in his eyes, and stepped forward to support her.
"Aunt Yun, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Chenhai and Zhong Yujian helped Aunt Yun to sit down on the wooden chair.
Aunt Yun was in pain in her heart, she had many words she wanted to say to Chenhai, but she didn't know how to speak.
"Xiaohai, I ........."
Zhou Chenhai said distressedly: "Aunt Yun, you are not feeling well, if you have anything to say later, you rest first, Xiaohai is guarding you." ”
After a long time, Aunt Yun relieved herself, and as if after some thought, she said, "Xiaohai, I'm fine." Help me up, and I'll take you somewhere. ”
"Don't be in a hurry, Aunt Yun, your body is important, we will go again tomorrow. ”
Aunt Yun struggled to stand up, she held Xiao Hai's shoulders and said, "It's always going to go." Xiaohai, no matter what you see later, promise Aunt Yun that you must be calm. ”
Zhou Chenhai had a bad premonition, and he was a little panicked.
"Where is Aunt Yun taking me......? Let's not go. ”
"No! you're going. Everything you need to know. Although Aunt Yun's voice was soft, it was unquestionable.
Zhou Chenhai didn't dare to say anything more. Aunt Yun stabilized her figure, pushed open the door and walked out. Zhou Chenhai had to follow silently. Zhong Yujian heard that something was wrong, and he was afraid that something would happen to Chen Hai, so he also followed.
............
Out of the door, Zhou Chenhai found that they were at the foot of a mountain, where the terrain was slightly lower and the jungle was dense. If you don't look closely, you won't notice that there is a wooden house.
Aunt Yun led them up the mountain, where a path twisted and stretched upward. They walked slowly along the path.
There was nothing to say all the way, Zhou Chenhai was anxious in his heart, he didn't know what was waiting for him on the mountain. He wanted to turn back, but he wanted to know what had happened, and he wanted to know where his father and mother were. He was entangled in his heart, and he drifted away in a trance.
The trees are thick, and the clouds are low. They walked for an unknown amount of time, but gradually passed through the dense forest, through the mist, and came to the halfway up the mountain. Looking back, the entire valley was shrouded in clouds and mist, like a lotus flower holding a flowing cloud lake.
The sunset shines in the evening, and the sunlight falls on the cloud lake, creating a layer of golden waves.
Aunt Yun said, "It's just ahead." ”
There is a natural flat slope ahead, and some stone monuments loom in the background.
Zhou Chenhai panicked, "No, Aunt Yun, we won't go up." Let's go back. ”
Aunt Yun turned around and took Zhou Chenhai's hand.
"Child, Aunt Yun is sorry for you. Sooner or later, you have to know. Aunt Yun had tears in her eyes and stared at Zhou Chenhai.
Zhou Chenhai let Aunt Yun lead him and walked up the flat slope.
............
The grass is green on the flat slopes, and many unknown flowers are waiting to bloom, which look delicate in the light of the setting sun.
On the side of the ridge on the flat slope, seven cold tombstones stand silently.
Seven tombstones, seven graves......
Zhou Chenhai looked at it one by one, and the names on the tombstone were so familiar.
The tomb of Lu Xianming and Bai Yuling,
The tomb of Tian Yuxiao and Mu Qingru and his wife,
The tomb of Lei Zhantian and Fengyunying,
............
When he saw the sixth tombstone, Zhou Chenhai was dizzy and could barely stand. Zhong Yujian saw it in his eyes and wanted to step forward to help, but saw Aunt Yun stretch out a hand and hold Zhou Chenhai's back.
Zhou Chenhai only felt a strong but warm true qi enter his body, allowing him to stand firm again.
Zhou Chenhai opened his eyes and looked at the tombstone again......
The tombstone reads impressively, the tomb of Zhou Qingfeng and Liu Hongye and his wife......
The muscles on Zhou Chenhai's face twitched, "It's not true, it's not true......"
Aunt Yun said: "Xiaohai, if you want to complain, blame me, it's because I don't have the ability to help, I watched them pass away, leaving me alone to survive." It's that I'm too incompetent, too useless!"
Zhou Chenhai replied in a daze: "Aunt Yun, you ......"
"No, that's not true. You lied to me, you are not Aunt Yun. It can't be so coincidental that I met you. It's all fake. ”
"Xiaohai, I also hope that this is fake, and I also hope that all this can be as before. But whether it's a coincidence or fate, we can't escape reality after all!"
Aunt Yun's face was full of desolation and sadness, like the pain in her heart, and there was nowhere to vent.
"In that battle three years ago, we were no match for the Demon Realm at all. Several of your uncles and aunts were killed in battle. Your fourth uncle was shocked by the supreme ghost of the demon realm and broke his heart, he looked at me before he died, and I will never forget that reluctant look!"
Aunt Yun said with difficulty, tears rolling in her eyes.
"I am left with your father and mother to support us, but we are powerless to return to heaven after all. ”
"Your mom and dad ended up leaving. The ghost thought that I had a father-daughter relationship with him, but it only seriously injured me and left me to fend for myself. ”
"I held on and walked with all my body, and carried them to the sky above the Lotus Valley, and finally lost my strength and fell here. Later, I buried them here. ”
"I don't know what kind of master has laid down a monstrous array in this Lotus Valley, as long as you enter the Lotus Valley, you will never be able to go out again. I can only live here, and this stay is three years. ”
When Zhong Yujian heard this, he was shocked, "What!
Zhou Chenhai on the side did not react, stunned and numb.
Aunt Yun continued, "I hope that you children will come, but I don't want you to find here. I didn't expect you to come today. ”
She looked at Zhou Chenhai, her eyes were full of sadness.
"Xiaohai, I know you're sad, if you have anything to say, just say it. ”
Zhou Chenhai stood upright, silent, no one knew what he was thinking. This sudden upheaval, like a knife cut, like a fire roasting, destroyed him, consumed him, and made him like a reed in the wind, crumbling.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
Suddenly, his face was hideous, and a strange laugh floated out of the corners of his mouth, making people feel extremely terrifying.
He turned around, grabbed Aunt Yun's shoulder, and roared, "It's you! It must be you! You said that the demon demons are your father, you must have brought them." You killed my uncle and aunt, and even more so my father!
Zhong Yujian was taken aback by Zhou Chenhai's changes, he wanted to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Aunt Yun reaching out.
Aunt Yun choked up and said, "Xiaohai, I can't save them, it's my own incompetence." But I'll never do anything to be sorry for them. If you think that I have lured the people of the demon world to kill them, then you will kill me, and I will never complain! I only ask you to bury me and your four uncles after I die. ”
Zhou Chenhai gasped and pressed her shoulders tightly.
At this moment, it seemed like a long, long time had passed, and time seemed to stand still. Countless thoughts flashed through Zhou Chenhai's mind, and he even thought of reaching out his palm to pinch Aunt Yun's neck.
Slowly, slowly, Zhou Chenhai's wheezing voice turned into a low cry.
After a long time, his body became weak, and he gradually fell to his knees, wrapped his arms tightly around Aunt Yun's waist, and cried loudly......
"Aunt Yun! I ...... I don't blame you, I'm ......"
At this time, Zhou Chenhai had already cried into tears.
Aunt Yun stretched out her hand and gently stroked Zhou Chenhai's head, at this moment, she was smiling, but tears were already trickling up her face.
"Good boy, how can Aunt Yun blame you, how can she ......"
The evening breeze blows gently, and the green grass gently sways with the flowers. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the poor pair, dragging their shadows long, long.
