Chapter 270 Nine-turn madman, unmoved by death (6)
The old man mentioned the legend of "Recovery Grass", giving Zong Zheng and Xian Jie a last glimmer of hope. After all, it was just a legend. As a doctor, the old man also reminded Zong Zheng and Xian Jie that he could not guarantee that the herbs really exist, nor could he guarantee that even if he took them back and took them to Xi Jie, he could awaken her. More importantly, there was not much time left for Xi Jie, and only thirteen days.
Even if it is just a trace of vague hope, it is a life-saving straw for Zong Zheng and Xian Jie at this moment. For this little hope, they are willing to take any risk.
The journey to Xuefeng Mountain is long, and it is fast and it takes at least ten days to go back and forth day and night. If you delay or search on the road for a long time, everything will be in vain and it is difficult.
The two made up their minds, no matter how difficult it was, no matter whether the legend was true or not, they had to let go. Zong Zheng proposed to go together, but Xianjie had other concerns. She was worried that the two would go together, and the child and sister were left here without anyone to take care of them. It was not because they were worried about the old man and his wife, but because they were afraid that something unexpected happened. After all, the old man and his wife could not do martial arts. More importantly, Zong Zheng's astrology would bring great resistance. I am afraid that the Siyuan Venerable had known about the fact that Brother Zheng was still alive. If he saw the astrology moving and following, not to mention whether the two could successfully retrieve the "Return to the God Grass" within thirteen days, it would be a big question.
Xianjie told Zongzheng about his concerns and insisted on letting him go alone. Zongzheng stayed behind. After hearing Xianjie's concerns, Zongzheng knew that he was indeed not very considerate, but he couldn't bear to see Xianjie take risks alone. He did not agree immediately, but hesitated, saying that it was too late and he had to set off tomorrow morning, allowing him to think for a night.
How could Xianjie not know Zong Zheng’s thoughts? But what she doesn’t want to be the one who is most unwilling to be Zong Zheng’s ties. Her sister just wants to be for herself that she is not afraid of sacrifice. This kind of ties will only make herself fall into self-blame and guilt.
As night fell, the old woman made a sumptuous dinner. Four people set up tables in the open space between the two houses to eat. Perhaps because the two of them lived in the deep valley for a long time and isolated the world, the arrival of Xianjie and Zongzheng added a little popularity. The old man and the old woman were obviously happy. They welcomed the moon and watched the stars. Zongzheng was full of worries, and even though they were eating, they were frowning.
After dinner, Xianjie avoided Zongzheng by helping the old woman clean up the dishes. The old woman was a smart man and knew that Xianjie must have something to say. Seeing that Zongzheng had returned to Xijie's house, she asked Xianjie directly.
Xianjie also expressed her plans frankly, hoping that her mother-in-law could take good care of her children and her sister before she came back. The child needed to breastfeed, and her sister was weak and needed to supplement her. My brother didn't understand these things, so I hope that her mother-in-law can be kind and work harder. If she can overcome the difficulties, she will repay her mother-in-law.
The old woman agreed to Xianjie and admitted that she actually liked the children very much, and she also thought that if the girl got better, she would stay here and take the two children to accompany the couple.
Xianjie thanked her again and packed up the dishes. She asked her mother-in-law for her pen and ink, and wrote a letter to her mother-in-law, asking her to deliver it to her brother Zheng tomorrow morning.
After writing the letter, she asked her mother-in-law for Requiem, and then went to the room where Xi Jie was.
Zong Zheng looked at his senior sister lying on the bed and the two children next to him, and recalled the little things he had with his senior sister before. If he didn't recall some things, he wouldn't know the beauty of the past, and he wouldn't be able to realize the feelings of his senior sister to him at that time.
After finishing his work, Xianjie returned to the house and saw the godless brother. He knew that he was worried and that the series of things that happened nowadays were indeed not something that ordinary people could deal with.
"Brother Zheng, what are you thinking?" Xianjie stepped forward and asked. She was also full of thoughts, but she knew that the more this happened, the more she needed two people in love to give each other warmth and comfort, and to express their feelings to each other, and perhaps it would be easier to express them.
"I just recalled the things that happened after I came out of the fairy forest when I was a teenager. Close my eyes and the past is vivid in my mind. Sometimes I wonder if I hadn't run out at that time, would it be a different way?" Zong Zheng said this, as if he was deeply touched. At some point, his eyes became much deeper, and at some point, his voice became heavy.
"Did Brother Zheng regret it?" Xian Jie asked, looking at Zong Zheng with deep affection.
"I can't say I regret it, but sometimes I can't figure it out, so I feel a little confused." Zong Zheng replied.
Zong Zheng's assumption, Xianjie had thought about it, but after experiencing a lot of things, she had figured out many things. She was no longer the young girl she used to be. The ups and downs of the world and the baptism of time made her mature. She also responded with emotion: "There is no if in life. Everything has a fate. How can you have a peaceful heart without experience? At that time, you were also curious about the outside world. How could you have a lifelong idea of staying in the fairy forest when you were young? If you could, there would be no things that happened later. You would not know my sister, nor would you have these two children. These are God's arrangements, whether it is good or bad."
"Yes! There is no such thing in life. Fate comes from disaster, and disaster is fate; fate comes from disaster, and disaster comes from disaster, and the origin of disaster, and the world is half a lifetime, why not float and respond to disaster?" Xian Jie's words made Zong Zheng suddenly realize.
"Life is like this. Too much obsession with the past will only increase troubles. Floating in response to fate and pursuing disasters, everything will settle with time. Life will not be a result for a person's life, but the result of everyone is death, and life is a process." After Xianjie said that, she looked at her sister, and she felt that her sister seemed to have already understood these principles. It may be another kind of happiness to fall asleep like this.
She approached the lampstand step by step, took off the lampshade, and replaced it with the requiem.
"What kind of fragrance is this? Why is the smell so gentle?" Zong Zheng noticed that Xian Jie's sudden behavior felt a little strange.
"My mother-in-law said that this fragrance will help my sister's awakening. It is located in a valley, with many mosquitoes and a repellent effect." Xianjie explained,
Zong Zheng always had an indescribable feeling. He kept staring at Xian Jie, and Xian Jie was also worried. With his brother Zheng's intelligence and agility, it would be difficult to hide his thoughts in front of him.
"Did you hide something from me?" Zong Zheng couldn't help but step forward and pull Xianjie's arm, "Xian'er, look into my eyes, tell me the truth, do you want to hide it from me and go to Xuefeng Mountain alone?"
Xianjie's thoughts were fully exposed in front of Zongzheng. She looked at Brother Zheng's eyes, smiled, and hugged Zongzheng directly. She hugged Zongzheng tightly.
"Xian'er," Zong Zheng wanted to break free and ask what was going on.
"Don't talk, let's just hold it quietly like this, okay? Brother Zheng." Xianjie hugged Zong Zheng even tighter.
Zong Zheng wanted to break free at first, but gradually calmed down. He put his hand on Xianjie's waist, and the two hugged each other quietly.
Zong Zheng's chin was pressed against Xianjie's forehead, and they could hear the breathing of the two people and felt each other's heartbeat.
The sudden embrace of Xianjie disrupted her thoughts. Zong Zheng smelled the fragrance emitted by Xianjie and suddenly thought of the poison on her body. He went through so much trouble to get the half snow lotus. He should have given Xianjie the Lord after the death of the Beauty Valley, but unexpectedly, what happened later was a big accident and he could not control himself.
Now that I and Xian'er have reconciled, I should take the opportunity to make her accept it. No one can think of what will happen later.
"Doctor Hu has made a pill with half of the snow lotus. He has never had a chance to take it for you since the last time Beauty Valley parted." Zong Zheng said as he took out a small bottle from the sleeves that were holding Xianjie's slender waist, poured out the pill from the small bottle, half pushed Xianjie away, and handed the pill to Xianjie.
"After going through hardships, taking all the risks, just for such a pill." Xianjie took the pill from Zong Zheng's hand. Looking at such a snow-white and translucent thing, she suddenly felt that such a small thing was so heavy, let alone swallowing it.
"What's wrong? Xian'er." Zong Zheng couldn't help asking when he saw Xianjie holding the pill in his hand.
"No, nothing." Xianjie hesitated for a long time, and finally put it slowly in her mouth. She knew that she could not let down her brother's wishes, otherwise all her efforts would be disappointed.
Seeing Xian'er taking the pill, Zong Zheng smiled for a long time. At this moment, he felt that all the hard work and all the efforts were worth it.
Looking at the smile on Brother Zheng's face, Xianjie could feel his happiness, and behind his happiness was his deep love for herself. At this moment, she felt sweet, but she couldn't laugh, but instead she had the urge to cry.
Calculate the time, the effect of the Requiem fragrance should also occur. The fragrance poison in his body was already immune to this fragrance medicine. When Zong Zheng was suspicious, he was disturbed by Xian Jie's original idea.
Although Xianjie deliberately delayed time to hide her purpose, her embrace was just a reflection of true feelings.
Zong Zheng gradually felt his vision blurry and his consciousness was a little unclear. In the misunderstanding, he finally realized that he had made a mistake, "Xian'er, you..." Zong Zheng's body was tilted and was supported by Xian Jie in time.
Xianjie placed Zong Zheng on the ground and saw a straw raincoat made of palm hair placed beside the door. She was afraid that the ground would be cold, so she covered the strawcoat on him.
"I'm sorry, Brother Zheng, I can only go there this time. I don't want you to worry about me." Xian Jie looked at Zong Zhengan's sleeping face and thought to herself.
She leaned over gently, stroked Zongzheng's warm cheeks with her slender hands, and then kissed Zongzheng's lips, warm and without the shyness of being a girl.
She slowly stood up and glanced at Zong Zheng again, "Brother Zheng, guard the child and my sister, wait for me to come back." She murmured silently in her heart.
Then she decisively closed the door of the house and came to the open space outside. She played a song that attracted the white eagle, and disappeared from the sky with the wind and the moon. She was about to go to Xuefeng Mountain.
