Chapter 236: Grief-stricken

Xiao Tian suddenly woke up from his dream, but when he got up and looked around, there was only the lonely and silent wasteland road, and the mountain wind blowing in the distance, and he didn't see a single person. Of course, Xiao Tian also understood that Su Jia had already jumped off the cliff, and that familiar figure would not appear in front of him......

As soon as he thought of this, an unstoppable grief came to his heart, and together with the wounds on his body, the physical pain and the mental pain stimulated Xiao Tian at the same time, making Xiao Tian's heart cut like a knife.

Xiao Tian endured the pain in his body, stood up from the cliff platform, and then slowly walked forward, slowly walking to the edge of the cliff - that was where Su Jia finally jumped down.

Xiao Tian knelt on the ground, his hands propped up on the ground, and the whole person looked towards the bottom of the misty and bottomless cliff, but Xiao Tian's eyes only had hazy clouds and mist, and he couldn't see anything below at all. Of course, Xiao Tian also knew that the cliff platform of this Shenfeng Cliff was not like the cliff when he and Su Jia were chased and killed by Lu Huan that day, there was a steep slope under the cliff that day, and there was a grassy swamp below, but today Su Jia jumped directly from the cliff vertically, and the height was not the same, and I don't know what it was below......

"Jia'er......" Xiao Tian couldn't help but sob, "No, I'm going down to find Jia'er, even if Jia'er is really dead, I'll find her body......"

Xiao Tian stood up slowly, it seemed that he wanted to go down the mountain along the wasteland road to find Su Jia's landing, even if Su Jia really fell to pieces, Xiao Tian also decided to find Su Jia and wanted to bury him personally.

So, Xiao Tian continued to drag his injured body. Slowly descend the deserted road, looking for the way down the mountain that you don't even know. However, the sky was not beautiful, and the sky was already overcast. It looks like it's going to rain. Moreover, Xiao Tian had fainted for a while just now, and when he woke up, it was already approaching dusk. If you can't find the way down the mountain quickly, when it gets dark, Xiao Tian won't be able to find the way......

Xiao Tian walked along the deserted road and slowly walked to the long path between the jungles. The two weeks of the trail are overgrown with vegetation - it seems that this is already the bottom of the Divine Peak. But disappointingly, the greenery is too dense. By the time Xiao Tian walked to the jungle path, he couldn't tell the direction for a long time, and even this was not under the Shenfeng Cliff. Xiao Tian himself is not clear.

"Jia'er...... Jia'er ......" Xiao Tian was in a trance, his eyes were dull, and he continued to walk slowly along the green forest path, but he couldn't tell the high direction, and he couldn't find where Su Jia had landed at all. And it's getting dark, if Xiao Tian can't get out of here quickly. I'm afraid I'll get lost in the woods too.

"Jia'er...... Jia'er ......" Xiao Tian still shouted softly in this sad voice. Grief-stricken, he was still comforting in his heart, this was just a dream, this was just a dream......

It's a pity that this is not a dream, it is a cruel reality. Su Jia really jumped off the Shenfeng Cliff, such a high distance, people will definitely die if they jump down. Su Jia could not have any hope of survival. Su Jia was really dead, and the pupils of Xiao Tian's eyes opened from time to time. He never wanted to accept such a reality in his heart - Su Jia was really dead, leaving him forever, and it was impossible to return to him......

"Ahh But this can't eliminate the pain in Xiao Tian's heart, on the contrary, when Xiao Tian comes to his senses, the reality once again hits Xiao Tian's mind - Su Jia is really dead, no matter how she vents, she can't come back......

"Drip-drip-drip......-drip-daz-drip-daz-drip-drip-d

Suddenly, Xiao Tian lowered his head, and two drops of liquid dripped from Xiao Tian's cheeks and fell on the dwarf grass at Xiao Tian's feet, and he didn't know whether it was the newly fallen rain from the sky, or the tears flowing from the corners of Xiao Tian's own eyes.

The rain is getting heavier and the sky is getting darker, and it seems that it will soon turn into a storm in the dark. And Xiao Tian walked for a long time in this directionless jungle path, and he didn't find the place where Su Jia fell at all. "Jia'er—" Grief-stricken him, he couldn't help the depression in his heart, raised his head again, and shouted towards the gloomy sky, but the mournful and powerless voice was soon drowned out by the sound of the heavy rain in the jungle and the confused darkness......

Suddenly, a white light flashed in the sky, and a lightning bolt struck, making a deafening loud noise, and it seemed that this storm in the darkness was inevitable. "Boom--" It didn't take long for the rain to pour down, accompanied by lightning that did not stop, and it seemed that the storm would be a long time ahead......

Xiao Tian walked for a long time on the forest path, he always wanted to find the place where Su Jia fell, but he couldn't tell the direction in the end. When he walked out of the wandering path, an inexplicable town had already appeared in front of him - it seemed that Xiao Tian had already left the Shenfeng Cliff far away, and this was already a small town outside the Shenfeng Cliff.

Xiao Tian lowered his head and continued to walk forward, letting the storm ravage his weak body. The rain had completely wet Xiao Tian's body, dragging his heavy and tired body, and Xiao Tian's pace was getting slower and slower.

"Boom-" Another flash of lightning, and the storm didn't seem to stop yet. With a flash of lightning, Xiao Tian looked up at the name of the town.

"Ancient Shadow Town?" Xiao Tian raised his head, looked at it with sad eyes, and muttered softly, "This is no longer the Divine Peak Cliff, is it...... In other words, I didn't see Jia'er until the end, did I......" Xiao Tian's tone became more and more sad, but in this violent stormy night, such a sad voice could only be heard by Xiao Tian himself.

"Jia'er...... Whining...... Jia'er ......" Xiao Tian couldn't hold back his tears again, lowered his head and sobbed quietly, even Su Jia's last corpse Xiao Tian couldn't see it, Xiao Tian's heart was really painful.

"I really don't want to, I really don't want Jia'er and I to end up separating from each other after an emotional conflict. I don't want that to be the case...... Xiao Tian continued to muttered to himself, "But there is no way to change the facts, and Jia'er will never come back...... It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, I had a conflict with Jia'er when I was at the inn, maybe ...... Maybe I won't come out alone, I won't be ambushed by Wang Dasheng, and Jia'er won't ...... for me."

When Xiao Tian said this, he couldn't cry anymore: "It's all my fault, I killed Jia'er." I killed Jia'er......" Letting this storm hit, Xiao Tian lowered his head again, and his cry became louder. But on this stormy night when the wind was raging. Such sounds were quickly buried by darkness.

Xiao Tian continued to take steps and walked in the direction of Ancient Shadow Town. It's not that he feels a little soothed, on the contrary, he thinks that he indirectly killed Su Jia. Xiao Tian was even more reluctant in his heart. Xiao Tian took every step forward. Xiao Tian's heart hurt a little more......

It was also dark inside Guying Town, and it seemed that there was no night market in this town. Of course, tonight's storm may have made the town disappear into the darkness of no one in advance. Needless to say, there are no pedestrians on the streets, and even the shops on both sides are not brightly lit, and the town of Ancient Shadow has truly become the so-called "City of Darkness".

But these don't matter to Xiao Tian who entered the town, there is an unsuitable mood next to him, and now he is so lonely and dark. Maybe it will make Xiao Tian's heart feel better. But no matter how good the heart is, the grief will never go away. Xiao Tian walked through the deserted streets eroded by the rainstorm. The mud under his feet and the rain on his clothes are now completely infelt.

But tonight's storm didn't seem to want to stop, and I don't know if it was the aggravation of the rain-soaked clothes, or his own exhaustion, Xiao Tian felt more and more faltering......

"Boom-" Another bright lightning flashed, Xiao Tian looked around, exhausted, he finally wanted to find a place to hide from the rain.

Xiao Tian looked to the left, there was a tea shop that had long been closed, but the rain pavilion outside the door had not yet been closed. Xiao Tian didn't think much of it, and walked slowly and heavily to the rain shelter, trying to hide from the raging rain—although Xiao Tian knew that there was no point in doing so.

However, as soon as Xiao Tian hid under the rain pavilion, an inexplicable sad memory hit Xiao Tian's heart again.

Xiao Tian still remembers that in Liusha Town, when he first met Su Jia, he was next to the tea shop. At that time, because he was not afraid of official authority, when he was chased by Wang Biao of the Goshawk faction and his subordinates, it was Su Jia who saved him. At that time, he and Su Jia were hiding behind the tea shop, and they also got to know each other there......

At that time, the scene of Su Jia tapping his finger on his forehead was still fresh in his memory, and Xiao Tian had not forgotten the nervousness of the first conversation with Su Jia......

"Dare to ask the girl's name?"

"My name is Su Jia!

"I ...... My name is Xiao Tian!"

"By the way, I don't know what to call you, it seems too much to call you 'young man', and it's too cliché to call you ...... others."

"Call me 'Ah Tian'!"

"'Ah Tian'?"

"Well, in our family, my mother and siblings call me that!"

"'Ah Tian'? Hmph, what an interesting name!"

......

Even at the gate of Plum Blossom Villa, Xiao Tian's Su Jia is the same......

"Ah Tian, I ask you a question, you have to answer me truthfully......"

"Well, whatever the problem!"

"You...... Like me?"

"I ...... Like...... You...... Miss Sue, I ......"

"You still call me 'Miss Su'?"

"That'...... That...... What should I call you?"

"Don't you remember? When I was injured by Lu Huan, you called ...... Although I passed out at the time, I heard the voice and wrote it down......"

"Good ...... Jia'er ......"

"Sister Xiaohong also called me like this before she died, this is a good name, you call me like this......"

"Well, Jia'er ......"

......

Countless good memories kept flickering in Xiao Tian's mind, and in the face of today's storms and unchangeable tragic reality, Xiao Tian's heart was full of pain. Xiao Tian gritted his teeth, trying not to be too vulnerable, but the more he thought about it, the more sad Xiao Tian became, and tears couldn't help but gush out.

Xiao Tian raised his head, and rain and tears flowed down Xiao Tian's cheeks at the same time. Each one flows down. It made Xiao Tian feel cold, a kind of coldness that penetrated through the body and penetrated the soul.

Xiao Tian's memories did not stop. On this stormy night, Xiao Tian thought of too many things, although he knew very well that the bits and pieces of his and Su Jia's past would always be just memories, and they would never be ...... again

The rainy night is peaceful, and the thoughts are long, and the feelings are all the way. I don't see the dreamer alone. What is the only heart to say?

Xiao Tian stood at the rain shelter of this tea house, accompanied by the wind and rain of the night, sad all night......

By the next day. The storm in Ancient Shadow has finally stopped. There is still a little water on the ground, but it can't stop people from coming and going - it seems that this little-known "Ancient Shadow Town" is also very lively, and it is much more "clustered" than the previous town located on the cliff of Shenfeng......

There is one of the largest restaurants in Guying Town, called "Pavilion". Every day seems to be bustling with activity. Today is no exception. There seemed to be some kind of activity in the building, and the upstairs and downstairs were full of people, and it didn't take long for a burst of people. Whenever someone enters the inlay building to consume, the shopkeeper of the restaurant always greets people with a smile......

Xiao Tian was walking leisurely on the street alone, the rain stopped, and the wet clothes on Xiao Tian's body were almost dry. But at this time, Xiao Tian's whole body was a little dusty. The long hair was also a little loose - it should be the traces of yesterday's rain and mud - and the whole looked like a wanderer who had gone through the vicissitudes of the world......

Xiao Tian, who was depressed in his heart, wanted to drink on a whim. Xiao Tian felt that after being sad all night, maybe now there was wine to soothe the pain in his heart, although he knew that this pain would never go away......

Xiao Tian also came to the "Pavilion", and seeing the crowds inside, Xiao Tian also felt that his lonely and sad mood would be better, so Xiao Tian decided to drink here.

"Guest officer, please-" Xiao Er saw that Xiao Tian had also entered the inlay building, so he greeted him with a smile.

Xiao Tian didn't pay attention to Xiao Er's smiling face, nor did he look at the shopkeeper on the side, but just whispered: "Bring me two jars of wine, you don't need too good wine, the cheapest one will do......"

Xiao Er looked at Xiao Tian with a somewhat "calm" appearance, and he was wearing a sword on his body, so he was embarrassed to say anything, so he nodded with a smile, and then turned back to report to the shopkeeper.

"A strange guest?" asked the shopkeeper.

"Yes...... Xiao Er whispered, "He has a scar on the left side of his face, and he also has a sword on his body, and he looks like a person from the rivers and lakes." As a result, when you go to this inlay building, you only need two jars of the cheapest wine, and you can see the shopkeeper ......."

"What's strange, it's not like we've never been to the Jianghu Building," the shopkeeper said with disdain...... "Besides, who doesn't know that Zheng Yunyun, a famous prostitute in our Guying Town's Pavilion, has many people who came to our Pavilion's Mansion all the way to her." Don't look at the serious look of the kid just now, we have an important event in the inlay building today, Zheng Yunyun is going to perform on stage, that kid is not here for Yunyun......"

"So what now?" Xiao Er asked again.

"What can I do, it's not the same as before, why don't you make money if you have money?" The shopkeeper knocked Xiao Er's head, and then said, "If he wants the cheapest wine, he will give him the cheapest, anyway, we will earn the silver...... Hmph, two jars of wine, when he gets drunk and shows his ugliness in front of Yunyun, there may be other 'performances', which amuse everyone on the scene, maybe there will be a better business......"

"Yes, what the shopkeeper said is that the little one is going to get the wine—" Xiao Er said with a grin, and then ordered his subordinates to go to the cellar to get the wine......

There is indeed a famous prostitute named Zheng Yunyun in this inlaid building. Although the beauty is not peerless, it has also attracted many people to come. Today's event in the Pavilions is exactly this, Zheng Yunyun will perform dance skills in the center of the stage of the restaurant, which is why the business of the restaurant is so good today.

But apparently Xiao Tian didn't put his mind on this, the first time he came to Ancient Shadow Town, he didn't know that there was such a thing. Xiao Tian's thoughts at this time were still all about the grief of Su Jia's death, and he wanted to use wine to kill his sorrows, so he casually found a table near the stage and sat down. Xiao Tian was also curious why the people around him stood up and gathered around the stage, but Xiao Tian didn't think much about it, he only put his thoughts on his memories and Su Jia's memories, and his eyes were also looking at the table.

There was a cheer on the stage next to him, but Xiao Tian didn't care, he just sat down at the table slowly, waiting for the wine...... (To be continued......)
