Chapter 6: Fate
In dreams.
Dreams are hazy, and when the soul is reincarnated in the dream, the nightmare appears. I couldn't break free, I couldn't escape, and I was pulled to the bottom of the abyss powerlessly.
It was a childhood mansion, and in the summer, the flowers in the mansion bloomed red. Yin Fan's mother always pulled Yin Fan to sit on the edge of the steps, counting how many flowers there were in the house, but she had never counted them. Even if it's counting years, all the way up to the age of six.
Since then, Yin Fan has never seen his mother again. It's even a little ashamed that I can't even remember my mother's appearance clearly, as if a demon has stolen it from memory.
It's the night sky, and it's a little scary. Standing in front of the door of his house, Yin Fan felt empty. When I looked back, it was pitch black. It's as if there's only one left in the world.
Although I know it's a dream, it's like a real world.
The dark red door of the three of them opened inward, and inside the door was a large swaying and twisted black shadow, like hell. However, Yin Fan still walked in, walking into the piece that he hadn't remembered for a long time, memories. Passing through the verandah to the west, through the Peony Pavilion, and behind a small pond he found the courtyard where his mother lived. There is a large oval-shaped tree in the courtyard, and Yin Fan asked his mother its name when he was young, but she didn't tell Yin Fan, just said "You'll know". So, from that day on, Yin Fan began to study hard and read a lot of books that he couldn't even understand.
Today, Yin Fan is back here.
But in a dream.
He knows now.
That's the acacia tree, the sea red bean.
Yin Fan approached the sea red beans full of dead leaves, and a name was engraved on the tree.
Yin Tianzhong.
It was his father's name. Yin Fan can't remember when his father died, but he remembers that his frail father was always standing under the verandah, looking at him.
Hiding in a dimly lit verandah, smiling quietly.
Yin Fan gently touched the engraved words and said in a low voice: "Father"
Suddenly, an incomprehensible sense of immediacy appeared in his mind. It was a gaze, behind him, staring at himself.
He turned to look back at the library to the south of Yin's mansion, which was a four-story attic. It was a plain shadow of green clothes, which looked very striking in such a dark night. I don't know why, seeing that figure, Yin Fan's heart suddenly swelled up with a wonderful feeling. That vague shadow, no! that woman, as if it should have been in the deepest part of her heart.
The two exchanged each other for a long time, and the woman suddenly owed a debt, and whispered in the distance: "Trespassing on Junmeng without permission, disturbing something, please forgive me, and I will leave." β
Without waiting for Yin Fan to answer, her figure began to blur, and then the scenery around her also dimmed.
Yin Fan quietly watched her disappear, and felt inexplicably and inexplicably a strange feeling in his heart.
Somehow, Yin Fan woke up from the dream unconsciously, but the things in the dream were like eternal memories, deeply engraved in his heart. The doubts in my heart suddenly rose sharply, but they were even stronger.
"Who is she?"
After thinking hard to no avail, Yin Fan had to sigh and secretly say to himself. I looked at the bedside, and there was no one left. It was dark outside, and it seemed to be night. The summer breeze hit, but it made Yin Fan feel extremely refreshed, and his consciousness was awake in an instant.
He tore off the quilt, rolled out of bed, put on his shoes and walked out the door.
Outside the door is a small rockery pond, with a few fluttering lotus leaves swinging on it.
The breeze and night lotus are a rare good scenery, but before Yin Fan can appreciate it, a crisp voice came from the direction of the rockery, "You can be regarded as awake!"
Yin Fan is strange, what does it mean to be awake. Thinking about it, he suddenly remembered that something seemed to have happened before he fell unconscious. That's right, I met someone in the Treasure Tower, and I didn't know anything after I pulled Bai Yu behind me.
"Have I slept for a long time?" Yin Fan followed the sound and soon found Bai Yu sitting on the top of a small rockery.
Bai Yu sat there, put his hands on his knees to support his face, rolled his eyes, pouted and said, "Plus today, you have been sleeping for seven days and seven nights!"
"What!" Yin Fan was shocked, he had spent seven days and seven nights without realizing it. "I've been lying down for so long?"
Bai Yu said angrily: "Then what do you think?" She jumped down from the rockery mountain, pointed at Yin Fan's nose, glared at her eyes and said: "Who let you pretend to be a hero that day, your life is almost gone!" As soon as the words came out, she suddenly regretted a little, according to what she said just now, she didn't admit this kid's kindness to her in vain.
Yin Fan touched his chin, a little strange, and asked, "What happened that day?"
Bai Yu snorted, and his cherry-colored mouth opened, but he didn't know what to say for a while. At this moment, a straight and round voice suddenly came from far and near: "Hehe, A'er, don't mess with Yin Fan anymore, he is seriously injured just right, and he can't stand your toss." β
"Hahaha, that's fine. Brother Bai, my grandson has no other talents, but I dare to guarantee this physical fitness. β
Yin Fan followed the prestige, and Yin Tianmou was walking towards a middle-aged and strong man. This middle-aged man is a rare man with short hair, a square face with Chinese characters, two eyebrows as thick as black ink, and a faint cold light in his eyes. Although this person walked extremely elegantly and talked and laughed, he all felt an imperial breath rushing towards him, and Rao is Yin Fan was used to seeing people like Yin Tianmou, and he couldn't help but praise in his heart.
It's just that Yin Fan always feels that this middle-aged man's gaze will sweep towards him from time to time, which makes people feel surprised, suspicious, and have a sense of indescribability, which makes Yin Fan unable to distinguish it.
Hearing him say this, Bai Yu snorted, stomped his feet angrily, and said coquettishly: "Dad, how can you favor outsiders!"
"A'er, what you said is not right. The middle-aged man smiled, but he was not angry, and walked to the two of them with Yin Tianmou, looked at Yin Fan, and said with a smile: "If Yin Fan is not in the Treasure Building to protect you, you are afraid that you will not be able to escape this catastrophe." β
It's okay not to say it, as soon as Bai Yu heard this, he didn't know why, and his face suddenly turned crimson.
"Dad, you ......"
"Alright, alright. The middle-aged man waved his hand and stopped her.
Yin Tianmou saw that the two of them stopped moving, so he said to Yin Fan: "Fan'er, this is the head of the Qianqi Bai family, Bai Mohou, you will be called Uncle in the future." β
Hearing that he was called uncle, Yin Fan was also surprised. The old man of his own family is commensurate with this Bai Mohou brother, and the relationship between them is not shallow. At the moment, he was also obedient, and said obediently, "Uncle." β
Bai Mohou nodded and said with a smile: "It's all a family, don't be too particular about etiquette." β
That being said, Yin Fan didn't dare to do it.
Yin Tianmou said: "Brother Bai, I don't think it's early this day, and Bai Yu has been tired for so many days and nights," he said and glanced at Bai Yu with a smile intentionally or unintentionally, but Bai Yu had already blushed and buried his head, and he didn't reply, "Since Fan'er has woken up, you can take her back to rest first." β
"En?" Hearing Yin Tianmou say this, Bai Mohou was a little surprised, as if something was completely unexpected by him. But how shrewd he is, his thoughts are flying to cover up his emotions, the topic is deflected, and he said with a smile: "I understand what the eldest brother means," he said and glanced at Bai Yu with a smile, "Let A'er accompany Yin Fan tomorrow, hahaha, then we will leave first." β
"Daddy......" Bai Yu's face was flushed, and he complained to Bai Mohou softly, but there was no follow-up. Bai Mohou smiled and didn't say anything, just took Bai Yu away.
Yin Fan saw all this in his eyes, and secretly screamed in his heart, could it be that a few days ago, what kind of "hero saves beauty, beauty promises" in this script is going to be staged on him?
Just as he was secretly complaining, Yin Tianmou suddenly asked in a different tone from the one just now: "Fan'er, are you okay?"
Yin Fan immediately came back to his senses, but it was a little strange, why did he care so much about his body? He patted his body up and down, a little inexplicable, his mouth was about to speak, Xu remembered something, and only after a moment of silence did he raise his head and say, "Not at all." Grandpa, what's going on? Why do you feel like I'm hurting so much?"
Yin Tianmou heard that his tone of shouting was completely different from that in the village, sighed, and didn't ask in detail, just asked, "You don't feel it at all?"
Hearing him say this, Yin Fan was even more strange, and couldn't help frowning and asking, "Grandpa, what happened that day? Could it be that I was greatly injured?"
Yin Tianmou looked at him for a long time, sighed suddenly, turned sideways to look at the small pool in front of him, and said slowly: "That day in the Treasure Tower, I was negligent and let the 'poisonous clams' under the Poison King get in. When he found you that day, he wanted to take your life, but fortunately, Wuyinglou was receiving my order to deal with some important matters there, so he stopped him in person. It's just that I didn't expect this 'poisonous clam' to learn the evil method of scattering gong, and I want to die with you. Although Wuyinglou is on guard, this 'poisonous clam' evil method is extremely powerful, allowing him to take advantage of the loophole in defense, that is, most of the power rushes towards you and Bai Yu. Because of your obstruction, Bai Yu was unconscious by some momentum, but you suffered from that great momentum, and at that time, all your internal organs were damaged, and you didn't even have popularity!"
Yin Fan was stunned, but he didn't expect Yin Tianmou to say this, his brows furrowed, and he asked: "My grandson doesn't understand this, I'm not good now, how can there be no one who says this?"
"Not bad. Yin Tianmou turned around and looked at Yin Fan tightly, "This statement is also a bit misunderstood. Then let me ask you, if a person's internal organs are broken, this person may live?"
"Naturally not!"
Yin Tianmou was silent for a long time, just looked at Yin Fan quietly. Yin Fan suddenly understood something, and was stunned for a while.
It was hot summer, and it was common for the wind to be hot, but at this time, the wind was blowing, which made Yin Fan's whole body feel cold.
According to his own grandfather, wasn't he all in tatters at that time? Thinking about it like this, wouldn't he have become a dead man? This intermediate relationship instantly made Yin Fan's thoughts a little unavoidable. If I had been in tatters and had no breath, how could I have it now? What the hell is going on? Is it still in a dream?
What's going onγWhat's going on?
Is it true that he is dead?
If you don't believe it, you don't believe it.
Thinking of this, Yin Fan suddenly put his hand on his heart like crazy, felt the heartbeat, and immediately raised his head, stared at Yin Tianmou and shouted: "No, I'm not dead yet, I'm ......"
He quieted down suddenly, raised his head, and looked at Yin Tianmou. Yin Tianmou smiled, his eyes were gentle, and his warm, broad, and crusty hand was placed on Yin Fan's head, shaking gently. Just like when I was a kid.
Yin Tianmou looked at him with a smile and laughed in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my grandson, of course he is alive." β
As he swayed, Yin Fan's mood gradually calmed down, just thinking about Yin Tianmou's words just now, it still felt like a dream.
After a while, Yin Tianmou said, "Fan'er, do you know why?"
Yin Fan was already a little hazy, shook his head, and did not speak.
Yin Tianmou's arm moved, put it on Yin Fan's shoulder, his expression was suddenly extremely tired, he sighed, as if he had made a big decision. He looked at Yin Fan's eyes, and a heavy voice sounded in his ears, saying:
"It's time for you to take a look at what haunts our fate. β
