Zhong Ning was strangled by the rattan, almost suffocating. Being dragged to the ground, she was dragged quickly again. The clothes on her back were torn in an instant, and her back directly wiped the ground. The severe pain made her wake up, the sword that was always clenched by her backhand cut to the top of her head, the rattan made a decisive decision, and Zhong Ning also rolled a few times due to the sudden disappearance of the drag force. Nearly blank.
The blood vine was slashed, one of which turned into two, and stabbed even more frantically at Zhong Ning, who had not yet woken up.
Zhong Ning raised his head when he heard the sound, his eyes were cold, he propped up his body with his sword, and was not afraid at all.
The blood vine rushed, she thought it was another fierce battle, who would have thought that the old woman with her back hunched over suddenly rushed over, madly waving her crutches at the blood vine, forcing the blood vine to retreat.
Zhong Ning took advantage of the gap to take a breath, she was secretly surprised that this old woman seemed to be weak, but she was able to persist in the Valley of Flowers for so long. In her bones, there was a ruthlessness that she did not want to fall.
She raised her sword and stepped forward to cut down the blood vines with her.
The more the roots of the blood vines are cut, the more they will be, and even the monsters who smell the blood around them come to fight with them.
Zhong Ning still knew that he had to find the demon hunter so that he could continue to be safe, otherwise, if he continued to consume his physical strength with the demon, it would be turned into fertilizer in the soil. She said "go" and started backing away.
When the old woman saw her go, she retreated behind her.
An inch of soil on the ground suddenly loosened, and as soon as it sank for half a minute, she was alerted that a tangled monster was about to emerge there, and stabbed it down with her crutches.
Who would have thought that this thorn was half an inch crooked, the stalk was furious and stabbed out of the ground. The old woman picked up the crutches and brushed it away, and the monster was re-shot in reverse, and the crutches were snapped by the middle. The monster didn't stop because of this, and slapped her chest heavily, causing her eyes to turn blue in pain and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The monster was about to attack again, but in the next instant, it turned into two paragraphs. The long sword in Zhong Ning's hand was stained with blood again, she cut off the remaining monsters that attacked, protected the old woman, and took her back.
The old woman was seriously injured and couldn't walk fast. She heard the sound of fast wind behind her. She looked back and saw dozens of blood vines attacking like a lunatic and stabbing Zhong Ning in the back. She stretched out her hands and grabbed it, blocking it with her body, and her body was instantly pierced with several blood holes.
The blood spurted out, dyeing Zhong Ning's eyes red, she was stunned, not knowing why the old woman was desperate to save her.
The blood vine stabbed at Zhong Ning again, she was about to raise her sword, but saw a ball of fire flying and swept past her eyes. The blood vine was instantly burned to ashes, and there was no way to arrogantly commit murder.
Xifeng jumped to Zhong Ning's side. Seeing that the old woman was covered in wounds, she was dying. With a frown, she grabbed the old woman and Zhong Ning's clothes and led them out of this dangerous formation.
Zhong Ning hugged the old man covered in blood, grateful and puzzled: "Why do you want to save me?"
The pale, bloodless old man looked at her and suddenly smiled, tears rolling down his cheeks together with blood: "Xiao Xiao, mother finally found you."
Zhong Ning was stunned.
"Xiaoxiao, mother didn't abandon you, it's mother's fault, you shouldn't be looking at the lanterns, let you get lost, and be kidnapped." She looked at her daughter who had been separated for 20 years and wanted to touch her face , but the injured hand can no longer be lifted.
"Mother is going to find you, your father won't let you, and no one will let you. It's good to have another one. But mother can't sleep every night, crying every night with your little pillow. When mother came out, she kept looking for you, From the south to the north, from the east to the west. When I see a person, my mother asks, did you see my family smiling?"
"But no one has seen it, no one."
She gasped weakly, the wounds on her body too, too bad. The west wind sprinkled a lot of medicinal powder, but the wound was like a bottomless pit.
This old woman... She can't be saved.
The old man didn't care about the pain in her body, and the joy in her heart made her completely forget the severe pain.
"Mother has been looking for you, smile, don't hate your mother. It's not that she doesn't want you anymore, it's just that she can't find you, and I'm sorry for you, leaving you without parents and mothers for 20 years. Time finally found Ren Yazi back then. He said that you were taken away by a girl who also lost his legs. He took people to seek revenge, but found that the girl took you out to sea by boat, and I don't know where you went. "
Zhong Ning's body was already covered with the old man's blood, and the blood on her hands was gradually solidifying, and her voice was unknowingly low.
"Mother knows the country of flowers and wants to see if you are in the country of flowers, but she can't come, she doesn't have the money to buy a boat, and the boat she builds can't go to sea at all. Fortunately... Fortunately, the country of flowers is open. The country gate…”
"Mother walked for ten days and ten nights, and finally caught up with the last boat. Xiaoxiao, do you know how happy and worried mother is on the boat. Mother is afraid that she will not be able to find you... and afraid of finding you, you hate it. I."
She looked at her daughter, who was almost unable to see clearly, and burst into tears: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry with a smile... It's my mother's fault... It's my mother who didn't protect you well."
Zhong Ning stared at her in a daze, and leaned over to put her face on the old face. It was so cold that it was almost no temperature. She whispered, "I know, I don't blame you."
After all, Zhong Ning was kidnapped at the age of four and separated for 20 years, so she was only in her 40s, but she looked like an old woman who spent 20 years looking for her daughter, just to say sorry and tell me later. Her lost daughter, Niang, never thought of leaving you.
The white-haired woman in her arms gradually weakened her breath. Before she died, she was still watching her searching for her daughter for twenty years.
She counts the days every day, how old should her daughter be now, and what kind of clothes she should wear.
At this age, it is time to read, so did you go to school
At this age, it's time for her to get a haircut, so does anyone braid her
At this age, it's time to get married, and I don't know if I have found a good husband's family.
When she walks in the small town, she picks up some leftovers to eat; when she walks in the mountains, she drinks the stream water and eats the fruit.
Chased by mad dogs, beaten by bullies, and eaten poisonous fruit.
She died and survived. She didn't care about the pain either, she just wanted to find her daughter and see if she was okay.
She even thought that if her daughter was doing well, she would look at her from a distance and put everything down and go back. If things go bad, she will try her best to save her and take her home.
Now that she is so tall and sensible, she is very happy.
The only regret is that I can no longer tell her about her childhood. Tell her how well-behaved you are at the age of four.
Yes, her memory of her daughter was only before the age of four, and she did not have the memory of the past 20 years.
She wanted to know, but it was too late.
The blood gradually solidified, and solidified on her face after the vicissitudes of life.
Zhong Ning was stunned for a long time, until her body was completely cold, then she slowly got up and picked her up.
Xifeng saw it and asked, "Where are you taking her?"
Zhong Ning said slowly, "I can't let her body be swallowed by these filthy monsters."
Xifeng paused for a while and said, "I'll open the way for you.
She thought that such a mean and vicious "old woman" had what intentions to land on the island, but she did not expect that the old woman just wanted to find her daughter.
She remembered her own mother.
She exchanged her life for her free mother.
Xifeng was a little dazed, the fireball in her hand was suddenly taken by someone else, she looked back, Qing Yuan said: "You are tired, I will come. I can lend you my back, this time I won't let anyone take me from the ground. Tow away, don't be afraid."
Xifeng shook his head, smiled, and his eyes were a little sour: "I'm not tired, I believe in you, and I'm not afraid at all."
Although she disliked that she was covered in mud, it could be seen that she was not happy and would still want to lend her his back.
Xifeng thought, holding back the grief that poured out of his heart.
Zhong Ning hugged this thin woman and walked to the southeast. The end was the seaside, I hoped not to be stained by this evil.
The person in his arms was dead, but Zhong Ning still walked lightly and cautiously.
At this time, Wuying and Puyu were also behind, and they also saw what happened just now, which made people sigh, but there was no help for what they were going to do. It's just that Xifeng and Qinglong seem to have to follow them all the way, and I don't know how long it will take.
Wuying hesitated for a moment, then called Xifeng and said, "We're going somewhere else."
Xifeng nodded: "Senior brother, you have to be careful."
"You too."
As soon as the two left, the team seemed to wither again, but there was a fireball opening the way, and the ground was dyed red, making it seem less deserted.
The Valley of Flowers is not large. It faces the island on both sides and the sea on both sides. The southeast direction Zhong Ning walks is the sea.
The sound of the sea slapped against the rocks on the shore and wet Zhong Ning's bloody boots. She looked at the woman in her arms and leaned over to drop her into the sea.
The island is small and there are not many places to erect monuments, so I don't know which empress has set a rule to let the dead go into the sea and return to their hometown.
The mother, who was struggling to find her daughter I, gradually disappeared as the waves drifted away.
Zhong Ning stood on the rock and watched for a while, then turned back to the shore and said to Xifeng, "Let's go."
Xifeng said unexpectedly, "So fast?"
Even though she was separated from her mother for 20 years, at least her mother protected her before she died. She just stopped for a moment. No matter what she thought, it seemed too fast.
"I have more important things to do."
"What's more important?"
Zhong Ning was silent for a moment, then put his hands together and said, "I'm not her daughter."
Xifeng was stunned: "Aren't you Zhong Ning?"
"Zhong Ning is her daughter, but I'm not Zhong Ning. This body is the guardian of the Kingdom of Flowers leading Zhong Ning, but the soul is not."
Xifeng was confused, and asked with frown, "Then who are you?"
Zhong Ning's eyes were bright and cold, even though her body was covered in blood stains left by monsters and her clothes were torn a lot, but she stood with her hands behind her back, but her eyes were dignified and calm.
"The Empress."
