Perhaps because Duan Hengye was in a state of soul, he didn't feel tired even after he hadn't slept all night. After putting the phone on the table again, Duan Hengye sat on the sofa and froze. At this time, the sunlight outside the window also came in little by little.
In the past few days, all the staff of the Duan family have been put on vacation. After the morning, no one came to clean up the coffee cups on the table, and no one went upstairs to open the curtains as usual. Even so, when Duan Hengye's father left last night, there was still a large gap in the curtain. In the morning, there are large tracts of sunlight pouring in from outside.
Duan Hengye saw that a beam of sunlight reached the coffee table in front of him. Although there were still dozens of centimeters away from his legs, after seeing the beam, Duan Hengye couldn't help but feel nervous when he thought of his current status as a "Wandering Soul". He got up from the sofa and walked downstairs again. Sometimes, not being sleepy can be a very torturous thing. Now the Duan family's mansion is unusually quiet, and Duan Hengye thinks that it is not a problem for him to stay at home in this state all the time. He needs to go downstairs and get some clues from other people in the house or elsewhere.
Duan Hengye's father left in a hurry last night, but the cousins still stayed at home. Obviously, they didn't sleep well that night, and now that it was just dawn, Duan Hengye saw his cousins appear in the hall in black suits one after another. It looks like they are getting ready to go out.
Intuition told Duan Hengye that their trip might have something to do with him. Finally, after a while, someone pushed open the door of Duan's house and walked out. Seeing that the sun was gradually becoming dazzling outside, Duan Hengye hesitated for a moment, then clenched his fists and followed behind them. go out.
At the moment of going out, Duan Hengye closed his eyes unconsciously and held his breath. Then, his thin eyelids felt the light of the outside world. After realizing that he had gone out, Duan Hengye finally slowly opened his eyes. Open your eyes. The terrible thing that was expected did not happen, and Duan Hengye stood under the sun smoothly and safely.
It is now the early summer of China, and the sun has gradually become stronger. Although it was still early in the morning, after going out, Duan Hengye immediately felt a hot air coming from all directions. Duan Hengye glanced at the cloudless sky, then quickly followed up with his cousin who was getting into the car.
This is a black commercial car, and the door is wide open because it has been parked here waiting for people. After noticing this, Duan Hengye hurried up before closing the door, and then the chill from the air conditioner wrapped him tightly. Although the commercial car is very large, it obviously does not need to be full. After a while, two more people got on the car one after another, and then the black door was closed.
The commercial car started, but no one spoke for a long time. Duan Hengye sat alone in the last row, and his eyes couldn't help looking out the window. The location of the Duan family mansion is relatively remote, and there are only a few fixed roads to go to the nearby urban area. Although Duan Hengye has lived out in recent years, he obviously will not forget those few roads.
Duan Hengye realized after the car had gone for a while that this was not the way to the city... On the contrary, the car actually strayed further and further. Where are they going? There was still no one talking in the car. As the scenery outside the window continued to change, Duan Hengye became more and more confused.
After half an hour, the car had already entered the mountains. It was also at this time that Duan Hengye finally saw several familiar cars appear in front of him.
The owner of that white car on the road not far away is Duan Hengye's mother!
Although he only saw the back of a car from a distance, after recognizing it, Duan Hengye's emotions suddenly became excited. He heard that his breathing began to shake unconsciously, and he was obviously very emotional. It was at this moment that Duan Hengye saw the statue-like cousin who was sitting in the front row suddenly turned around and glanced at his position, and then turned back with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong?" asked the person next to him.
The man who turned around just now shook his head gently. After a long while, he said slowly, "...It's nothing, it's just a strange feeling in my heart, I always feel like there is someone behind me."
At this time, the black commercial vehicle had already driven into the mountains, and the thick green trees on both sides covered almost all the light on the road. Duan Hengye noticed that in such darkness, hearing this sentence, the waiting fingers of the driver in the front row could not help but tremble slightly.
Apparently... they thought of themselves.
Duan Hengye felt powerless about accidentally scaring people. I saw that after the conversation was over, the person who had just turned around finally realized the inappropriateness of that sentence. He gave a blunt dry smile, and then said, "It's nothing really, it's just because the car is too big, so I'm just thinking about it."
"Well, we'll arrive at the destination soon. Let's sort out the process and stop thinking about it." Another person quickly changed the subject. But after hearing what they said, "get to the destination soon", Duan Hengye's spirit finally came. Although I still don't know where the car is going, it still gives Duan Hengye a little hope when it is about to reach its destination.
Sure enough, Duan Hengye saw that the speed of the car belonging to his mother in front of him gradually slowed down, and then the car turned into a fork in the road. But after a while, the black commercial car that Duan Hengye was in also turned in. The trees on both sides of the road grew taller and taller, and almost no light could leak in. After a few minutes, the car finally stopped, the people in the front row walked down one after another, and Duan Hengye jumped out of the car just before the door closed.
The door of the white car in front opened, and a tall woman in black came out. This is Duan Hengye's mother... As the mistress of the ancient Wu family and the chairman of a famous enterprise in China, Duan Hengye's mother has always appeared in front of the world as a strong woman.
Even in Duan Hengye's memory, his mother was extremely elegant and pursued perfection. Every day a woman's clothes were carefully matched, and the makeup on her face was always so delicate. But today, the woman in black looked particularly haggard, and even... Duan Hengye could see the sense of time on the face of a well-maintained woman for the first time.
Following Duan Hengye's mother, his other brothers and sisters also came over, without exception, all of them were wearing black formal suits. Even the father who didn't see him last night was like that...
After seeing their clothes, Duan Hengye couldn't help but cast his gaze into the distance... After discovering the black stone tablet in front of him, Duan Hengye finally knew where it was.
Today is Duan Hengye's funeral.
Duan Hengye suddenly felt that this scene was a bit absurd - attending his own funeral? When Duan Hengye saw this plot in TV dramas and novels, he would despise it for being tacky, but now, this incident actually happened to him.
Although the Duan family is a relatively open branch of the ancient Wu family in China today, there are still many rules that have been handed down. For example, a child like Duan Hengye who died in a fight from another family is not qualified to enter the Duan family's ancestral grave. Just as the family was talking together, Duan Hengye slowly walked towards the black icy stone tablet. He squatted down, then stretched out his hand and gently taped the stone tablet.
Affected by last night's novel, Duan Hengye's mood was complicated and chaotic before seeing the stone tablet. But after seeing it, Duan Hengye calmed down in an instant. He understood - no matter what happened to that book, at least this life on earth was really over.
After Duan Hengye squatted down for a while, his mother also came over slowly. As the mistress of the Duan family, his mother is also a master of ancient martial arts. Normally, if she came to Duan Hengye, not only would she not let the other party feel the breath, but even the high heels on the soles of her feet would not emit a little bit. sound. But now, Duan Hengye could clearly hear his mother's footsteps.
He saw that the woman in black squatted down slowly, and then placed a bunch of white flowers that Duan Hengye did not recognize in front of the stone tablet. "Sorry, mom is late." The woman said softly as she stretched out her hand to touch the stone tablet. She kept her voice very low, but Duan Hengye, who was squatting opposite, could hear clearly.
"You... blame mom." The woman sniffed and said while sighing.
At this moment, Duan Hengye's tears began to flow out uncontrollably. As he shook his head, he said to the woman, "No... No wonder." But unfortunately, Duan Hengye was still in a state of soul, and no one could hear what he said. It was noon now, and because of the presence of this black stone tablet and the small tomb, there were no trees above their heads.
A large piece of sunlight fell from the sky unscrupulously, and even if you didn't look up, you could feel its viciousness and dazzling. Duan Hengye slowly sat on the ground with his knees in his arms. He didn't know why he returned to Earth this time. He only knew that this experience was really like a nightmare or a time for him. punish.
Behind Duan Hengye was the still-cold stone tablet, and surrounding him was the gradually warming air. At this moment, Duan Hengye felt the despair coming from the bottom of his heart. However, just when he was most confused, a voice suddenly came from his ear—
"Professor Duan? Professor Duan? Can you hear me?"
Someone is calling him! Duan Hengye stood up from the ground, then involuntarily looked around. But as far as he could see, everything was so calm, the ceremony was taking place, and no one dared to shout here. So... Who the hell is calling him.
It seemed that he felt the doubts in Duan Hengye's heart, and finally another voice came from there.
"Can you hear me? I'm Wen Xun Yin."
Wen Xun cause? Duan Hengye searched carefully in his mind. If he remembers correctly... Wen Xunyin seems to be the director of the Yetian Empire Spiritual Power Research Institute!
