Looking back afterwards, Mo Chen only felt that he was astonishingly dull that day.
No, not just that day. After waking up from Linglong, her composure seemed unusual. How many times has she ever had troubles since she was a child? When can there be such a taciturn time
With her usual disposition, she would definitely hate the enemy who hurt them, and when she wakes up, the first thing she thinks about is revenge.
But no one thought about it deeply. I just think it's because of her injury and because of Zhai Wenhui's self-blame and guilt.
When Zhai Wenhui was able to open her eyes but was already a disabled person, her performance was too calm.
But... no matter how many regrets there are, it is impossible to repeat the past.
That morning Xiaodong woke up late.
He dreamed again.
I dreamed of the same empty place as last time. No light, no sound, no people, no way out.
It was gray everywhere, and the closed and oppressive feeling made people feel extremely anxious.
He didn't feel angry at all, and always felt that it was a dead place.
This is so weird.
Xiaodong has never dreamed of the same place twice in a row.
No matter where he went before, he went to different places.
Even the few times he dreamed about on Huiliu Mountain, every time he appeared in a different place.
And... one more strange thing.
That place feels so far away.
Of course, when the elder brother went to Bury Sword Valley last time, it was the first time that Xiaodong's spirit was so far away from his body, and after that he always felt a little dizzy for several days, probably because he was too strenuous.
The Burial Sword Valley is far away, and it is a strange place that he has never been to, but at that time when the elder brother went, Xiaodong felt that he must have chased him there, so it is not surprising that he ran farther.
But this time... He instinctively felt that the place in the dream was far away from him.
And it was a place he had never been to.
Why would he wander to that place in his dream for no reason
Could it be that that place has something to do with him that he doesn't even know about
Xiaodong tried his best to recall.
He had no recollection of ever being there. The place felt so unholy. If he had been there, he would remember it.
He couldn't think of a clue.
Eldest brother has so many things going on recently, Xiaodong doesn't want to make trouble for him anymore.
Xiaodong rubbed his head, got up and got dressed.
He hasn't practiced so diligently recently, and he feels a little ashamed when he thinks about it. If there are not many things to do today, then take an hour to practice swordsmanship, and then don't sleep at night, and spend the night doing meditation exercises.
It's not yet dawn outside, and the eldest brother has already gone out.
Xiaodong went to see Senior Brother Zhai first, if there was anything he could do to help.
After all, he also took care of his uncle...
But when he got to the gate of the courtyard, Xiaodong saw that the gate of the courtyard was open, and the door of the house was also open.
With the door open, isn't the cold wind blowing in? There are two seriously injured people living in this courtyard. Needless to say, Senior Brother Zhai, if he didn't take care of him carefully, his life might be lost. And Senior Sister Linglong is just able to walk on the ground.
Is it to open the doors and windows for ventilation
That's not right, Senior Brother Jiang usually ventilates the room at noon when it's a little warmer, the sky is about to light up, and it's actually the coldest time in the early morning, so why open the doors and windows at this moment
Xiaodong hurried through the door, with one hand still on the hilt of the sword.
In the past, he would not have made such a move, but now he is like a frightened bird, afraid that something like Chen Jingzhi's will happen again.
There was no one in the house.
Senior Sister Linglong was not in her room, the quilt was neatly folded up, Xiaodong reached out to touch it, it was cold.
How long has Senior Sister Linglong been up
Going to see Senior Brother Zhai again, the room is also empty!
Where is Brother Zhai
He could not move his body or speak unless he could open his eyes. He couldn't have walked off by himself.
That is…
Xiaodong's heart sank.
He thought of the worst possibility.
Xiaodong froze there for a moment, as if he had fallen into a hole in the ice, and was completely cold from head to toe.
Just like that day... the uncle died, and the master had him carried out quickly. The bed and the room where he used to lie were suddenly empty.
After that... For a long time after that, Xiaodong didn't go to the room where his uncle died.
About a few months later, I forgot why I passed by there. When he looked at the door, he suddenly had an illusion. It seems that when you open the door and go in, the uncle is still in that room, lying on the couch, as long as you open the door and lift the curtain, you can still see him lying there.
"Junior Brother Xiaodong?"
Xiaodong turned around suddenly, the expression on his face surprised Shao Jinming who called him from behind.
"What's wrong with you? Are you all right?"
Xiaodong asked blankly: "Senior sister, and brother Zhai..."
Looking at his appearance, Shao Jinming thought of the time when Xiaodong was in a daze because of the pain of bereavement after he went up to the mountain to learn from his teacher, so he guessed that he was thinking about it.
"Senior Sister, she took Junior Brother Zhai away."
"... Gone?" Xiaodong repeated blankly.
They left in the middle of the night.
It was not convenient for Linglong to move by herself, and Zhai Wenhui couldn't even move. No one thought that such an incident would happen, and she was completely defenseless.
The first person to discover it was Jiang Fan.
For the convenience of taking care of him, he has been living in the next room for the past few days. In the middle of the night, he got up to check on Zhai Wenhui's situation, but found that the room was empty, and the two people who were supposed to give birth and recuperate were gone. Linglong stayed behind. A letter, written by Master Qi.
Jiang Fan took the letter and went straight to the master.
Li Fulin was called up by Jiang Fan while he was meditating. Jiang Fan turned pale in shock, and just said: "Senior sister, she is gone." He hurriedly handed the letter to Master.
Li Fulin tore open the envelope and read the letter at a glance.
In the letter, Linglong called herself an unworthy villain, and said that she would not dare to call herself a disciple of Huiliu Mountain from now on, for fear of falling into the reputation of being a teacher.
Shao Jinming didn't know what was written in the letter.
Li Fulin called all the disciples up, and the two separated to find Linglong's whereabouts.
She was still injured and Zhai Wenhui couldn't move. Even if the two of them left, they wouldn't be far away for a while.
When Xiaodong heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Did you find it?"
Shao Jinming shook his head: "No, we have already found a group and returned."
Xiaodong murmured, "Why didn't anyone call me..."
Shao Jinming comforted him: "Don't think too much, it's not peaceful outside, even if we go out to find someone, Master is not at ease, let alone you?"
Master and senior brother went out to search for the longest time, and when they came back, they looked very haggard.
Linglong was seriously injured, and with Senior Brother Zhai who couldn't move, where could the two of them go? It's so chaotic outside now, and the two of them walked away in the middle of the night, making people really dare not think about it deeply.
Ordinarily, Beifu City is now closed, and they are allowed to enter and not allowed to leave. They can't leave the city, and they shouldn't be able to go far. What's more, they have no relatives or reasons in Beifu City, and they have nowhere to go. However, their whereabouts have never been found.
There were two people missing all of a sudden, and the whole house seemed more empty and cold, with no smile on everyone's face, and much less talking than before.
When Senior Sister Linglong was around, she was too irritable, obsessed with martial arts, and would always find someone to compete with. Everyone was a little afraid of her, and usually wanted to walk around her. But when she is not here, everyone is worried.
As for Senior Sister Linglong's dog temper, unless her siblings can bear her, if she really goes to another place, can others let her like this? When the time comes, she will be injured again, why don't you just wait and suffer
Why she left was written in the letter she left behind. But only Master has read the letter, and others can only guess secretly.
Is it because Senior Sister Linglong feels that she has no hope in the road of cultivating Taoism in the future, and she doesn't want to drag everyone down, so she left Huiliu Mountain
People do have to have a backbone, but this also divides time and work. She was stubborn when she shouldn't talk about her character... After leaving Huiliu Mountain, where else could she go
Not to mention that she took Zhai Wenhui away with her.
In Zhai Wenhui's current situation, if he went out, he might die.
For several days, everyone in Huiliu Mountain did not give up looking for the whereabouts of the two of them, but it was strange to say that these two people seemed to have evaporated out of thin air, and there was no news at all.
Bad news came from outside every day, the city of Beifu was closed, and the people locked in the city were extremely irritable. Some people disappeared inexplicably, and some people fought because of a little dispute. In less than half a month, dozens of people were killed or injured.
The city lord's mansion is in more chaos than outside. As far as Guang Xiaodong knew, an Elder Yan was killed these days, a Deacon Bai disappeared, and many people were suspected of murdering City Lord Song.
After coming and going, people who came to Beifu couldn't stay anymore, and the gate control of Beifu City was also in name only, and many people had already taken the opportunity to leave.
Master Lu from Bixia Mountain Villa also came, which was regarded as a farewell, and he also gave a pack of medicinal materials as a parting gift.
When Li Fulin accepted the gift and thanked him, Lu Zhenren waved his hand: "You are welcome. Originally, we came to Beifu City to send a batch of pills for sale. Our owner said that this time Beifu City will re-elect the city lord, there must be many People want you to scramble for it, and once you get injured, these medicines that are not usually used will definitely sell a lot.”
Li Fulin couldn't say anything about Bixia Villa's actions, so he could only take a sip of tea.
This kind of behavior of expecting others to kill you so that you can sell medicine... What can people say
"Who would have thought that something happened this time, but it is not the same as what the owner thought. There are many medicines that have not been sold, and it is not worthwhile to take them back from thousands of miles, so I will give you some."
This is like dealing with slow-moving defective goods...
But anyway, it is also the heart of others.
When someone gives a gift, they always pick something nice to say, so that the recipient will appreciate it, and the gift has value. Like Lu Zhenren, giving gifts is not about forming good relationships, but about forming grievances with others. (to be continued)
