Chapter 180
Lao Zhao pushed open the courtyard door that Shen Xingsoul was familiar with, and walked in first, Shen Xingsoul followed, and he didn't feel stranger at all when he came here.
"Daddy, you're back?"
There was a sound coming out of the courtyard, crisp and beautiful, like a clear spring flowing slowly in a mountain stream, which calmed Shen Xingsoul's heart at once.
A woman walked out, dressed plainly, without any makeup on her face, as clear as clear water.
"You are?"
Zhao Ling'er was slightly surprised, but returned to normal in an instant, smiled slightly, and asked Shen Xingsoul.
Shen Xingsoul's appearance is now thin and old, compared with before, it is completely different, without cultivation, Shen Xingsoul is hunched over, not to mention, his eyes are still a little cloudy, it is reasonable for Zhao Ling'er not to recognize it, and even Shen Xingsoul's parents may not be able to recognize it if they see it for the first time.
"This is the Star Soul!"
Lao Zhao opened his mouth and said, pulling Shen Xingsoul into the room, leaving Zhao Ling'er stunned in place.
The three words of Shen Xingsoul made her remember it very deeply, because it was this person who changed her appearance and indirectly changed her life.
When Shen Xingsoul left, the Zhao family was in full swing, and the matchmaker who came to propose marriage almost stepped on the threshold of his family, but Zhao Ling'er didn't care, but calmed down.
When she was ugly, everyone avoided her, but now she just has a delicate face, which will bring about such a big change.
This made her sigh at the same time, but also secretly determined that she would not stay with such a person in this life.
So she rejected all matchmakers and warned them not to disturb their lives in the future.
In this way, Zhao Linger has always been by Lao Zhao's side.
Shen Xingsoul is the person who brought these changes to her, that is a person with supernatural powers, like a fairy, although his face is not particularly handsome, it is by no means comparable to ordinary people, coupled with his unique temperament, he is by no means the same person as now.
Zhao Ling'er stayed for a long time, and then walked back, looking at the old Shen Xingsoul, she opened her mouth to say something, but she never spoke.
"Star Soul, what are your plans for the future?"
Shen Xingsoul shook his head, what else could he do now, he could only wait quietly for the moment when death came.
Lao Zhao was very old, and he saw through the thoughts in Shen Xingsoul's heart at a glance, and he continued to speak:
"It's okay, just stay here, we will be a family in the future, and we will have a pot of rice with my old Zhao!"
Shen Xingsoul didn't know what to say, he was afraid that he didn't have much time to live, and it was naturally good that someone was willing to take him in, but deep down he felt that he shouldn't cause trouble to others.
Unlike when he came here, at that time, his cultivation power was all there, and he could change the fate of a family with a raise of his hand, and now he is also an ordinary person and has no chance to repay others.
"Star Soul, don't think about it, this will be your home in the future, I believe in you, you will definitely be fine. ”
Lao Zhao comforted Shen Xingsoul like this, asking him to look forward, there would be hope for everything.
But he didn't know at all, Shen Xing's soul was shattered, and there was no trace of aura in his body, not only that, he was injured in his body, but he took medicine indiscriminately for the sake of saving the ball, although he briefly gained the power of a battle, the price to be paid after the war was unimaginable to others, it was the complete overdraft of his own vitality, which would make Shen Xingsoul change from a young man in his twenties to the appearance of the old dragon clock now.
There are no immortals in this world, and even if there are, they can't save Shen Xing's soul today, and Shen Xing's soul has no intention of fighting at all.
At the beginning, he had only stepped into the path of cultivation, and he had encountered a similar situation at the Crazy Phoenix Altar, when he incarnated as a Wendao butterfly, and died at night, and finally he said, life or death, but life and death should not be placed in the hands of others, so he rebelled against fate.
Now that he has given up, whether it is life or death, fate or not, everything is against the grain, going with the flow is the only choice, he is tired, and now he is already a man in his last years, and there is no need to fight against fate.
He wants to be an ordinary person, life and death.
Zhao Ling'er has been taking good care of him, and his daily meals are even more different, for fear that Shen Xingsoul will not like it.
Shen Xingsoul locked himself up, there seemed to be a lock in his heart, no one knew what the key was, and no one could open it, thus releasing what it locked.
"Brother Star Soul, how beautiful the flowers are in your eyes!"
Shen Xingsoul was stunned, turned around and glanced at Zhao Ling'er, smiled slightly, and didn't say anything.
It's been a long, long time since anyone called him that, although it was just a simple four words, Shen Xingsoul's mind was instantly pulled to the distant Nether.
It was a place that I had been buried in my heart for a long time and had not wanted to touch, and it seemed that there was a kind of pain that was covered up, and after a long time, I slowly got used to it.
But if someone lifts it there, it will find that as time goes by, the pain does not subside, but worsens, and with this lift, it begins to split wildly.
But this pain is mixed with some other things, it should be reluctance and happiness, he doesn't want others to lift the pain, but he longs to remember the bits and pieces about her.
People are so complex, and what they are most afraid of is what they desire the most.
Shen Xingsoul looked at the flowers in front of him, they were blooming delicately and colorfully, with gorgeous colors and unique shapes, and none of the more than a dozen pots of flowers were duplicate varieties.
calmed down the turmoil in his heart, Shen Xingsoul smiled bitterly in his heart, everything has long been a foregone conclusion, time is the most ruthless, enough to change everything But there is no trace.
Time is also the fairest, as long as you are willing to sow the seed and work hard, it will not disappoint anyone.
These dozen pots of flowers were all stepped on for him by Zhao Ling'er after Shen Xingsoul came, not only that, but she also took care of these flowers with Shen Xingsoul.
I don't know when it started, Zhao Ling'er's title for Shen Xingsoul also changed to Brother Xingsoul.
Shen Xingsoul smelled the fragrance of flowers, and his mood naturally improved a lot, seeing Zhao Ling'er like a butterfly flying in the flowers, he felt a little emotion in his heart.
When night came, Zhao Ling'er mysteriously took Shen Xingsoul's hand and went straight to a hill behind.
Shen Xingsoul's hands were rough like dry firewood, Zhao Ling'er didn't care, and pulled Shen Xingsoul until the top of the mountain let go of his hand.
Shen Xingsoul was stunned by the scene in front of him, and saw countless fireflies flying all over the mountains, they were like bright lights, decorating the night with a unique style.
Shen Xingsoul was lying on the top of this mountain, looking at the fireflies and countless stars in the sky, he didn't expect that there were so many beautiful scenery in this world that he hadn't seen, he had been immersed in cultivation before, and now he let go of these, although he was forced to let go, but he also got some other things.
"Brother Star Soul, what do you say is the most dazzling starry sky this night?"
"The moon, no, the moon is gentle, not dazzling, the stars are bright, but too small. ”
"What do you say is the most dazzling?"
"Of course, the night sky is the most dazzling, but we ignore it!"
Zhao Ling'er is right, we tend to pursue superficial things, but ignore the real value.
Without night, the moon and stars would be worthless, and it is because of darkness that those fireflies will become beacons.
Shen Xingsoul nodded, moved his gaze, and instead of looking at those stars, he began to pay attention to the dark part.
It's dark, but it's not entirely, because of the presence of the moon, and the night sky has become a little hazy.
In the early morning of the second day, Shen Xingsoul got up early and prepared some food for the father and daughter, today his state was completely different, not only that, but he also personally took care of the flowers that Zhao Ling'er gave him.
These flowers have different varieties, and the fragrance is naturally very different, Shen Xingsoul fertilized and watered these flowers according to Zhao Ling'er's explanation.
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and Shen Xing's soul did not continue to deteriorate, but on the top of his head, a little black hair grew.
Zhao Ling'er has always been taking care of Shen Xingsoul, and now she is also very happy, this is a good start after all.
"Uncle Zhao, can I go with you to collect medicine?"
Shen Xingsoul has been here for a long time, and he has never done anything, which makes him feel a little unhappy in his heart, and he feels that he is in good physical condition recently, and wants to go up the mountain with Lao Zhao.
Lao Zhao thought for a while, first he was worried about Shen Xingsoul's physical problems, and then he considered Shen Xingsoul's heart, and finally nodded.
In this way, Shen Xingsoul followed the old man to collect medicine, and did not come back until the sun set.
In this way, half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and now it is the middle of winter, the weather is cold, the grass and trees on the mountain have long withered, and Shen Xingsoul has not gone to the mountain to collect medicine for a long time.
It's Lao Zhao, who occasionally goes up the mountain once, and when he comes back, he has some game in addition to herbs.
Now that the weather is cold, you need to supplement with some meat to ensure that your body does not collapse in the coming year.
In the past half a year, Shen Xingsoul's body has become more and more worrying, and it was okay at first, not only did he grow some hair, but even his complexion recovered a little.
But with the change of weather, his body deteriorated, and now he can only hide under the quilt, unable to resist the invasion of the cold at all.
Now that it is the end of the year, every house is full of lights, and there are many bright red couplets pasted at the door of the house, and the old Zhao family is no exception, not only couplets, but also red lanterns.
The lanterns are red, so everything around them is filled with joy, as if it were the happiest moment.
"Star Soul, tomorrow I will take Ling'er into the city and go to the market to buy some New Year's goods, the New Year is coming soon, Uncle Zhao will cook you something delicious." ”
Shen Xingsoul hid in the quilt and shivered, nodded, and as time passed, Shen Xingsoul had completely integrated into this home.
He also wants to do something to change the status quo, after all, the old Zhao family is not rich, and even life is very poor, but he has no ability at all, so he can only go with the flow.
