Chapter 31: The Great Tribulation Doesn't Die
A small courtyard made of giant trees is located deep in the mountains.
The courtyard is surrounded by unknown wild fruit trees. There are a few wooden houses in the small courtyard, simple and chic. The small courtyard is quite large, not only planted with plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, four gentlemen, but also planted with many flowers, it can be seen that its owner is a cultivated and knows how to live.
In one of the rooms, the fragrance of medicine was faint, and a man dressed as a thirty-year-old Confucian said to a woman about thirty years old: "Sister Wan, is he awake?"
The woman who was called Wanmei was named Ling Wan'er, and that man was his father-in-law, Lin Shanshui.
Ling Wan'er said: "Not yet, I woke up once, asked for water once, and fell into a coma again." Now he's been in a coma for seven days and seven nights, and if it weren't for the faint heartbeat, I really thought he was."
"I found this boy in the cold water ice pool. When I found him, he was unconscious. When I saw that he still had a little breath, I carried him back. Lin Shanshui sighed.
"Shanshui, what do you think?" Ling Wan'er frowned.
Lin Shanshui said: "The cold water ice pool is surrounded by high mountains. We are full of mountains here, and it is difficult for outsiders to get in, let alone a teenager. I suspect that the boy probably fell from a high cliff above the cold water pool. β
Ling Wan'er sighed, although she had already guessed this result, but she couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard her husband confirm it himself.
Lin Shanshui said: "The clothes that this young man wore were gorgeous and rich, like the clothes of a prince!"
"Prince?" Ling Wan'er said in surprise.
Lin Shanshui smiled and said, "Sister Wan, you don't have to be nervous. Judging from the costumes, it is not the prince's costume of our dynasty. Besides, even if he is, what can he threaten us as a teenager. β
Ling Wan'er said: "We finally escaped and came to this barren mountain. Although I am poor, I am also living a peaceful life, and I am afraid that my comfortable life will be broken!"
Lin Shanshui stepped forward to hold her hands and said, "It's okay, I'm here!"
Ling Wan'er smiled slightly.
Lin Shanshui said again: "If this young man really fell from the high cliff, maybe something happened to him." β
"Don't guess, when he wakes up, just ask. Ling Wan'er shook her head and said.
Lin Shanshui said: "I'm worried about him"
Ling Wan'er said: "Okay, whether you can survive it depends on his creation." β
Lin Shanshui snorted and suddenly asked, "Where is Lin'er?"
Ling Wan'er said, "She's mostly playing nearby." β
Lin Shanshui nodded in response, although it is a deep mountain here, there are no fierce beasts, and his daughter has always liked to play alone nearby.
In another wooden house in the courtyard, a young man was lying on a wooden bed, wearing coarse linen clothes, lying quietly on the bed, his face was snow-white, full of pain, this young man was Zhao Yu.
On that day, Zhao Yu jumped down from the high cliff of the Moon Pavilion, the abyss was so deep that if it fell to the ground, let alone a person, even if it was an immortal, it could be shattered.
God bless the poor man, there is a deep pool under the abyss. The pool water is cold all the year round, ordinary people can freeze and shiver in this soaking for an hour, there are bursts of cold air rushing to the sky near the pool water, although the deep pool water is cold, it is difficult for the general fish to survive in it, but this deep pool is indeed native to grow a kind of snow-white fish with a whole body, the taste is delicious, and the food is great to replenish the body.
Zhao Yu was lucky enough to fall from the deep cliff and fell into the deep pool and survived, but the level of the pool was unbearable for ordinary people to soak for two hours, not to mention that Zhao Yu was seriously injured before. If Lin Shanshui hadn't come here to fish, saw him dying, and brought him back, Zhao Yu would have died a long time ago.
Zhao Yu felt in a daze that his body was cold and hot, half of his body was hot as if he was in a furnace, and the other half was cold as if he was in a 10,000-year-old ice cellar.
He has been having a high fever for the past few days, and he has been having nightmares. I dreamed that I was born in an imperial family, that I was the crown prince, that I had a father who loved me, that I had a lovely younger brother, that I had a childhood sweetheart's fiancΓ©e, and that the whole family lived happily together. But suddenly one day, his cute and well-behaved brother was possessed by a demon, as if he had changed a person, and became cruel and bloody, not only launched a palace coup to kill his father, but also pushed himself into the abyss and fell to pieces, and robbed his fiancΓ©e.
Zhao Yu kept having this nightmare, over and over again. He wanted to cry and persuade his younger brother to turn back, but every time to no avail, it was like a dream but not like a dream. He was tormented in pain, he wanted to cry out but couldn't, his chest became heavier and heavier like a big stone, and he saw his father being pierced through the chest by his brother's fierce sword. He was depressed, frightened, and shouted with all his might: "Don't kill your father!"
As if he had exhausted all his strength, Zhao Yu's whole body was in pain, his whole body was like being burned by fire, his throat was dry like smoke, and he said in a daze: "Water, water." He faintly heard someone moving.
After a while, a chill came from his mouth, and a cold feeling spread down his throat and throughout his body, and his whole body was cold, like a sudden manna on dry land, and a smile hung on his lips, and before he knew it, he fell asleep again.
Seeing that Zhao Yu fell asleep again, Ling Wan'er said to Lin Shanshui worriedly, "Is he okay?"
Lin Shanshui said: "It should be fine, his body was too weak before, and he had a high fever that doesn't go away, there should be some knots in his heart, but he has always had the idea of survival, otherwise he won't wake up directly, and he will be fine after a few days of rest." β
Ling Wan'er sighed and walked away.
I don't know how long it took for Zhao Yu to wake up from his coma, and what caught his eye was a pair of big black eyes. He was startled, and when he fixed his eyes, it turned out to be a girl about ten years old, staring at him with big eyes that blinked and kept staring at him.
The girl's appearance was very delicate, Zhao Yu casually looked at the surrounding environment, and found that she was in a wooden house, simple and clean, so she said to the girl: "Who are you? Where am I? Why am I here?"
"Oh, if you don't wake up, you have to ask so many questions as soon as you wake up. Of course this is my home, you were rescued by my father, who am I? I don't even know who you are, and you don't really understand who I really am when I tell you!" the girl said in a cannon.
Zhao Yu Muran, I didn't expect this little girl to be articulate and say so many tongue-twisting words in one breath.
"Lin'er, don't mess around!" a coquettish voice came.
The girl called Lin'er turned around, saw a pair of men and women behind her, rushed over and ran into the woman's arms and coquettishly said, "Mother!"
Ling Wan'er smiled slightly, touching her beloved daughter's hair, and there was kindness on her face.
Lin Shanshui smiled bitterly, walked in front of the bed and said to Zhao Yu, "You are awake."
Zhao Yu said: "Where am I? Why am I here?"
Lin Shanshui said: "My name is Lin Shanshui, this is my in-law Ling Wan'er, and that girl is our daughter Lin Lin." I met you in the cold water pool, and you were unconscious at the time, so I brought you here. β
The look of pain in Zhao Yu's eyes flashed, and he said to Lin Shanshui: "Thank you for saving your life!"
Lin Shanshui said: "It's okay, your body is still too weak now, and you still need to recuperate." β
Zhao Yu nodded yes, he found that he was wearing a clean and somewhat large coarse linen robe, and he was slightly stunned.
Lin Shanshui saw him in a daze, and explained: "Your original clothes are already in tatters, and they are already soaked and can't be worn, so I have to let you change into my clothes, hehe, it's a bit big, go back and ask Aunt Wan to make it for you again." β
Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the Aunt Wan he was talking about was his wife.
Suddenly, Zhao Yu seemed to remember something, and searched in his arms, but found nothing, and looked very disappointed.
Lin Shanshui smiled slightly, took out an earthy yellow bead from his arms and handed it to him, "Are you looking for this?"
Zhao Yu was overjoyed when he saw Tu Lingzhu and took it with both hands.
Lin Shanshui saw that he was happy with a kind of sadness, so he said, "This is very important to you, right?"
Zhao Yu nodded heavily and said sadly: "This is the only relic left to me by my father." β
Lin Shanshui gently patted Zhao Zhouyu's shoulder, as if comforting.
Lin Shanshui would never have thought that this seemingly plain earthy yellow bead was a well-known magic weapon in the cultivation world. Even if he knew that it was a magic weapon, he wouldn't care. He carefully observed this bead many times, and originally thought it was an object for storing things, but this bead was slippery throughout, and there was no place to start, except for the weight, it had no effect, and it was expected that it was mostly a commemorative item, so he temporarily kept it for Zhao Yu.
Ling Wan'er pulled Lin Lin, walked gently to the bed, and said to Zhao Yu, "You have been in a coma for so many days, you should be hungry, right?"
Zhao Yu said: "No", with a grunt, a strange sound came from his stomach, and he scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "It seems that he is hungry." β
Lin Shanshui and his wife laughed, only Lin Lin blinked and said, "Big idiot!"
Ling Wan'er reprimanded: "Lin'er!"
Lin Lin stuck out his tongue at her, and made a big grimace at Zhao Yu, and everyone couldn't laugh bitterly.
Looking at Lin Lin's naughty and cute appearance, Zhao Yu couldn't help but think of Li Lu, and couldn't help but feel a little sad and helpless in his heart.
Ling Wan'er said: "You can rest for a while, I'll go cook, it's almost noon, everyone will eat together in a while." β
Zhao Yu said: "Thank you, Aunt Wan!"
Ling Wan'er smiled slightly, pulled Lin Lin and followed Lin Shanshui out.
Zhao Yu was left alone in the room, he held the Earth Spirit Bead tightly with both hands, and looked at the roof in a daze.
