When I opened my eyes again, I found myself lying in Lu Xiaohong's arms.
What I saw was my father's face that was zoomed in closer.
When he saw me waking up, my father reached out and scratched his silver hair, with a guilty expression on his face like a child who made a mistake.
"Daughter, are you awake?" My father looked at me carefully and said, "I will never go to that wooden house again. Does your head hurt?"
In fact, I didn't hurt my head, but my dad probably had frequent headaches. When he saw that I was injured, he was worried that I would be the same as him.
"I'm fine!" I smiled at him, struggled a little embarrassedly to leave Lu Xiaohong's arms, stood up, and asked, "How are Bai Yao and Xu Wenying? Professor Zhang isn't injured either!"
Lu Xiaohong released his hand from my waist, helped me stand firm and said, "They are all fine. It's just that Bai Yao's spiritual energy has been somewhat depleted and needs to rest for a while."
"Where are they? Come with me to see them!" I looked around and said to Lu Xiaohong.
The wooden house that was originally built between two big trees has completely collapsed, and the ground between the two trees is piled with dry and broken trunks and branches.
"Come on, girl, I'll help you go over and see them!" My father pushed Lu Xiaohong away, held my arm and said to me flatteringly: "Girl, don't faint again, you scared me to death.
I promise never to climb a tree again!”
"Well, I promise you, I will never faint again!" I said, looking at my dad with a smile.
Dad's words made me feel warm in my heart, but I felt sorry for him even more.
What makes me feel warm is that my father always thinks about my safety even in his crazy state. What makes me sad is that he is usually such a serious and steady person, but now he always looks like a naughty child.
No matter what method I use, I must find the best hospital as soon as possible to cure my father's injury.
I swore secretly in my heart.
My father carefully helped me around the pile of wreckage of the wooden house. I saw at a glance that Bai Yao was sitting on the side, concentrating on practicing Qi. Hao Jingde was sitting on Bai Yao's body to protect him; Xu Wenying had also woken up, but she was still lying on the straw mat.
Professor Zhang and Qian Zhiqi sat on either side of Xu Wenying, each holding one of her hands.
Seeing me, Professor Zhang and Qian Zhiqi both stood up.
They walked up to me together, and Professor Zhang said: "Hu Ling, thank you very much this time. If it weren't for you and Bai Yao, Wen Ying and I probably wouldn't have been able to pass this test."
As he said this, Professor Zhang lowered his head and started to kneel down to me.
I hurriedly grabbed Professor Zhang's hand and pulled him and said: "Professor Zhang, you are too outrageous and disrespectful to say this. Brother Qian is like my biological brother. Don't talk about this between us."
talk."
"You are really a noble person in our family. If it hadn't been for you, Zhiqi would have died long ago." Professor Zhang held my hand and said.
"If it weren't for Uncle Hao, I would have died a long time ago. It is also my blessing to meet you." I said to Professor Zhang.
When Qian Zhiqi heard what I said, he turned to look at Hao Jingde, who was sitting aside to protect Bai Yao. The expression on his face was a bit inexplicable.
Judging from his expression, he should know his life experience.
"Hu Ling, thank you, thank you and Brother Bai Yao for saving me and the baby in my belly!" Xu Wenying was lying on the straw mat struggling to get up. Lian Ruowei walked over and helped her sit up.
Xu Wenying's complexion looks very good, and her lips are also a beautiful petal red. It seems that the poison in her body has been eliminated.
It's just because I lay down for too long that my body is too thin. It will be fine after we go out and recuperate for a while.
The most gratifying thing is that although she was poisoned, the baby in her belly was fine and well preserved.
I looked at Hao Jingde with a smile and said, "Uncle Hao, congratulations on your grandson!"
Hao Jingde glanced at Qian Zhiqi, with a somewhat lonely smile on his face: "I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I'd probably die without knowing how to go see my wife."
Qian Zhiqi turned to look at Hao Jingde and me, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything, nor did he call Hao Jingde dad.
I think I can understand the entanglement in his heart, and I want to have a good chat with him, but now we are not out of danger, so it is not a good time.
What's more, some things need to be digested and accepted slowly by oneself. People who have not experienced it cannot empathize with other people's experiences.
For twenty or thirty years, Qian Zhiqi has always thought that he was an orphan. He had been looked down upon so much, experienced so many hardships, and even watched helplessly as his most beloved sister, who depended on him for life, died.
Maybe he once envied other children who had a complete home and the love of their parents, but maybe the death of his sister made him think of his parents and he was only disappointed. Disappointed that his parents had left them two brothers and sisters, disappointed with his parents.
Intentional or unintentional.
The reconciliation and recognition between him and Hao Jingde was the same as when I first learned about my life experience, which required a slow process of figuring it out.
Sometimes things that seem ordinary in the eyes of others are a hurdle for the person involved. That hurdle is actually a process of competing with oneself. In this process, the body will be covered with sharp thorns, which can hurt others.
, and even stabbed himself.
I think Qian Zhiqi knew in his heart that Hao Jingde could not be blamed for all this. He was just at a loss and could not accept that he and his sister were maliciously taken away and thrown away by his own relatives.
"Hu Ling, are you all ready? The water in Blackstone Pond has dried up. I'm afraid this is not a good sign. You'd better take your father and leave as soon as possible!"
Ren Feiyu ran over and looked at Xu Wenying lying on the ground, and then at Bai Yao who was sitting cross-legged and concentrating.
"The water in the Black Rock Pond is dry?" Hao Jingde and I looked up at Ren Feiyu at the same time, a little surprised.
Bai Yao's long eyelashes flashed as she closed her eyes slightly.
"Well, come with me and take a look!" Ren Feiyu nodded, turned around and walked towards the Black Stone Pond.
Hao Jingde didn't move, he still had to guard Bai Yao.
I raised my feet and followed Ren Feiyu towards the edge of the pool. Lu Xiaohong came over and took my hand and said, "I'm coming with you."
Following Ren Feiyu to the edge of the pool, I was a little surprised by the sight in front of me.
The originally crystal clear Black Rock Pond was completely filled by mudslides pouring in from the ground. A large number of strange fish with human faces were buried in the mud for most of their bodies. Some only had a silvery backbone exposed, and some only exposed their bellies. They may be very beautiful.
, or ugly human faces facing the sky, showing a desperate look.
Many strange fish with human faces shook their tail fins unwillingly or struggled with their silver-white bodies, but the more they struggled, the deeper they sank into the mud.
The Black Rock Pond, which was as beautiful and clear as diamonds the day before, has now turned into a graveyard of strange fish with human faces.
