232 Tranquility
"Remember, this is not your world, nor is it hers, here, it's just a wish of hers, after finding her, bring her back as soon as possible, after a long time, this last bit of life is gone, and she will never be able to wake up again. Lin Xi's voice came from the sky, like a god.
Zheng Lei looked at the surrounding terrain and found that he was at the entrance of a valley, a winding path slowly flowing out of the valley, and behind him was a white and vast void.
He remembered what Lin Xi had told him, and hurriedly walked on this path.
Here, he is just a mortal, a very ordinary person, without a trace of cultivation, and even the connection with half of the picture scroll has not been lost at all.
For a long time, Zheng Lei has never felt so tired, since the cultivation of the Tao, his physical strength has not been overdrawn, and now he suddenly climbed the mountain with the body of a mortal again, he suddenly felt very tired.
Finally climbed a mountain, Zheng Lei looked into the distance, rolling and undulating, there were at least more than ten peaks, and at the end of more than ten peaks, there was a not very clear mountain, which exuded a faint light.
"That's it, why is it so far?" Zheng Lei said, and then continued to walk along the path at the top of the mountain.
There are ten golden points of light in the sky, as Lin Xi said, these points of light represent the last bit of vitality of Hu Xiaowan, when these golden points of light are all gone, Hu Xiaowan will never come back.
But fortunately, these points of light did not disappear quickly, he stopped and stopped, the storage bag could not be used at all, at present, he was just a mortal body, along the way, Zheng Lei ate and drank dew, and when he walked to the shimmering peak, the whole person was already too thin to look.
And the golden point of light in the sky also disappeared.
Zheng Lei looked up at the towering peaks and vaguely saw a cave halfway up the mountain.
"It should be there, Xiaowan, wait for me, my brother will take you back immediately." Zheng Lei said softly.
As soon as he stepped into the area of this mountain, Zheng Lei had a feeling in his heart that on this mountain, there was a person who was very important to him waiting for him.
He knew that this person was Hu Xiaowan, and he didn't know why he felt this way, but no matter what, as long as he could get Hu Xiaowan's vitality back.
With every step he took, Zheng Lei felt closer to hope.
When Zheng Lei was tired and half dead, he finally came to the cave through a large woods. There was silence all around, no one around, and the occasional birdsong dotted the quiet atmosphere here.
"Brother, are you back?" Hu Xiaowan's voice came from the cave.
At this moment, Zheng Lei had an illusion that this was his life, he wanted this kind of quiet life, he wanted to live this life quietly, and he would grow old hand in hand with the person he loved, with white hair and eyebrows.
Hu Xiaowan came out of the cave wearing very simple clothes, holding a rag in her hand, and seemed to be doing housework.
"Brother, didn't hit anything today? If we continue like this, we're going to run out of cooking!" Hu Xiaowan squinted her eyes and smiled, not angry at all that Zheng Lei didn't hit the prey.
Hunting? Did I go out hunting? Zheng Lei thought to himself, looking down, he didn't know when he was already carrying a bow on his back, a bag of feather arrows hanging from his waist, and even his clothes were made of animal skins.
What's going on? How did I become like this? Zheng Lei was very puzzled.
"Brother, what's wrong with you today? Why don't you give up? You've been out for two or three days, but I'm so anxious that I thought something had happened to you. Hu Xiaowan walked to Zheng Lei's side and helped him take off the bow and arrow on his body as she spoke.
"Xiaowan, I'm sorry. Zheng Lei looked at Hu Xiaowan and said, his heart was full of apologies.
"Ahh Hu Xiaowan took the bow and arrow and walked towards the cave.
Zheng Lei didn't move, the scene in front of him was so warm that he couldn't bear to expose the truth.
He looked up at the golden point of light in the sky, and the second one was half gone.
"Brother, come in quickly, I boiled wild vegetable soup today! I boiled it in the way you told me, it was really delicious, I secretly tasted it!" Hu Xiaowan's voice came from the cave.
What do you have to say about this little fox after she has secretly tasted it? But she is innocent, and she doesn't have any messy thoughts in her heart.
"Brother, what are you doing, why do you keep standing outside and refusing to come in?" Hu Xiaowan pouted and stood at the mouth of the cave and looked at Zheng Lei and said.
Zheng Lei sighed slightly, hid the emotions in his heart, smiled at Hu Xiaowan, and walked towards the mouth of the cave.
"Brother, the day before yesterday, my grandmother came. Hu Xiaowan said while holding the wild vegetable soup.
Zheng Lei looked at the busy Hu Xiaowan, and felt sad for a while, this little fox must have subconsciously wanted this kind of life when he felt that his life was coming to an end.
He smiled and said, "Oh, what did she say?"
Hu Xiaowan put down the bowl, raised her head and said happily: "Grandma Zu said that she would no longer stop us from being together, and said that if you have any difficulties, you can go to her at any time, and she will help us." ”
"Xiao Wan......" Zheng Lei shouted softly.
"Huh?" Hu Xiaowan stared at a pair of big eyes, waiting for Zheng Lei's next words.
But Zheng Lei didn't have any follow-up, he didn't know how to mention this matter to the little girl, this rare tranquility was the life that Hu Xiaowan wanted the most, in case he exposed all this, how painful would the little girl be?
"Forget it, I wanted to tell you about what I encountered in the past few days, forget it, let's eat first. Zheng Lei lied.
"Oh, my brother has been out for a few days, have you encountered a lot of interesting things, okay, hurry up and eat, you can tell me about dinner, what is the world like outside the mountains?" Hu Xiaowan picked up the bowl with great interest and drank the wild vegetable soup in a big gulp.
It seems that this little girl is subconsciously unwilling to have that earthly memory, so she selectively blocked it, and now she still thinks that she has been staying in this deep mountain.
Stupid and cute little girl, she doesn't want to think about how she met Zheng Lei.
Zheng Lei listened to Hu Xiaowan's words, becoming more and more sad, and couldn't bear to expose this beautiful lie, he wanted to wait a little longer, so that Hu Xiaowan could feel this quiet life, after all, after waking up, what they had to face was still an extremely noisy world.
When Zheng Lei picked up the bowl and put it to his mouth, a voice suddenly appeared in his heart: "Don't drink, don't drink!"
He was stunned, and he just touched the edge of the bowl with his lips, and then put the bowl down again.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Isn't it hard for Wan'er to make it?" Hu Xiaowan put down the bowl when she saw that Zheng Lei didn't drink it, and hurriedly asked.
When he asked like this, Zheng Lei really had no choice, he didn't know how to explain to Hu Xiaowan for a while, seeing Hu Xiaowan's eyes slowly moisten, two tears rolling in his eyes, he was anxious to pee his pants.
"Wan'er is so stupid that she can't even make wild vegetable soup...... Hu Xiaowan said with a sob.
Seeing this, Zheng Lei hurriedly took Hu Xiaowan's hand, helped her wipe away her tears and said, "Silly girl, who said that you don't make it delicious? ”
"Brother liared, why don't you drink it?" Hu Xiaowan said with a pout.
At this moment, Zheng Lei's brain was spinning rapidly, and he made up a story in his mind. He gently touched Xiao Wan's head and said, "Well, I was going to drink it, but I saw that you finished drinking, so I thought I would tell you the story I encountered first." ”
"Really?" Hu Xiaowan's eyes were suddenly full of light, and it could be seen that she still longed for the world that was full of the outside, to be precise, she was full of longing for the imaginary outside world.
"Well, guess what I encountered when I went out this time?" Zheng Lei said with a smile.
Hu Xiaowan raised her innocent head and guessed: "My brother must have met a small animal that ran very fast, and then my brother chased after it for a long, long time and didn't catch up, and finally let the little animal run away." ”
"Ah, did you guess it, Xiaowan, are you following me?" asked Zheng Lei pretending to be surprised.
Unexpectedly, Hu Xiaowan was even more surprised, covered her open mouth with her little hand, and said, "Really, I'm just guessing randomly!"
Zheng Lei smiled and said, "After I went out that day, I thought in my heart, I must hit something, otherwise our Xiaowan will be hungry, so I looked at every corner of the woods very carefully." ”
While speaking, Zheng Lei looked at Hu Xiaowan, Xiao Nizi put on a serious face, and listened carefully, as if she was afraid of losing any word.
"Suddenly!" Zheng Lei's tone changed, startling Hu Xiaowan, Hu Xiaowan pouted and said, "Brother, you are so bad, why do you want to scare me?"
Zheng Lei smiled, and his heart couldn't help but be filled with a burst of sweet tenderness, as if he wanted to completely intoxicate people.
"There was a rabbit running out of the woods, ouch, you didn't see it, the rabbit was so fat, I really don't know what it ate to grow up, I saw the rabbit run out, without saying a word, I pulled up the bow, and shot an arrow with a whoosh. ”
Hu Xiaowan's face was suddenly full of worry.
"Bang, oh, miss, the rabbit ran faster than an arrow, and suddenly made a turn, so I didn't hit it. ”
Speaking of this, Hu Xiaowan's face suddenly relaxed, as if she was rejoicing for the rabbit.
"I said in my heart, you fat rabbit, if you let you run, our little Wanke will be hungry, so she ran away, didn't even look at the road, and chased all the way with her head stuffy, guess what?"
Hu Xiaowan shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
"I was just staring at the rabbit, not paying attention to my feet, and poof, I rolled down the hill. ”
"Huh?" Hu Xiaowan stood up in surprise, hurriedly pulled Zheng Lei to look forward and back, and asked worriedly: "Brother, are you okay? Have you ever been injured in a fall? It's all Wan'er's bad, Wan'er doesn't want her brother to go out hunting anymore, Wan'er is not afraid of hunger!"
Zheng Lei opened his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, do you think I look like something is wrong?"
Hu Xiaowan asked suspiciously, "Is it really okay?"
"Well, it's really okay, you see how strong my brother is, where will he get hurt if he falls?" As he spoke, Zheng Lei stretched out his hand to show off his undeveloped biceps.
Hu Xiaowan chose to believe Zheng Lei, and then asked, "Then what?"
Zheng Lei looked at Hu Xiaowan and said, "Then I rolled until I was down the mountain before I stopped, and my whole body hurt at that time, and I felt that my buttocks had become four-petaled." ”
"Ahh Hu Xiaowan said and reached out to touch Zheng Lei's buttocks.
Zheng Lei hurriedly blocked Hu Xiaowan's hand and said, "How can there be?" It's just that it hurts, how dare you make four petals?"
"I lay down for a while, and only after the pain on my body didn't hurt much did I get up slowly, get up and see, oh my God!"
"What's the matter? Did my brother encounter a beast?"
Zheng Lei shook his head and said, "No, I found that I didn't know where I went, there were strange houses everywhere, and houses with wheels that could run, and there were many, many people. ”
"The house that can run, and still have wheels?" asked Hu Xiaowan curiously.
"Well, I wondered where this is, how could it be like this? So I wanted to find someone to ask me where I was. ”
"Then have you found someone?" Hu Xiaowan asked worriedly.
"Of course I found it, there were so many people there, I just pulled one and asked her, and I said, 'Big sister, what kind of place is this?' Then the woman looked at me, covered her mouth and laughed, guess what she was laughing at?"
Hu Xiaowan shook her head.
"She laughed for a moment, and said, 'Why do you dress like this? I said to myself, 'You don't look much better, you're wearing a red dress, with a fork underneath, and even your legs are exposed, looking at your clothes, it's like a rag.' ’”
Zheng Lei's words made Hu Xiaowan laugh happily, and said while laughing: "My brother is too good at talking, and he even said that other people's clothes are like rags." ”
"It was, but I didn't dare say it, or she wouldn't tell me the way, I laughed and continued to ask her, and she laughed for a while, and said, 'Little brother, are you going back to the mountains?' I nodded hurriedly, and then she said, 'Then come with me, I happen to be going there too.' Then I followed her. ”
"Then you followed her back, where is she? Why don't you let her come to our house and thank her?" Hu Xiaowan said with some reproach.
"No, I didn't come back with her. Zheng Lei said.
"Didn't come back, then where did you go?" A kind of sensitivity unique to women suddenly revealed in Hu Xiaowan's body, and it can be seen that Hu Xiaowan's heart still has some shadows in her heart when she saw Shui Rou and Zheng Lei that time.
