Half a year later, Xu Wenying, who was studying hard while taking care of her mother, was admitted to the postgraduate program. It happened that her class teacher told her classmates that the Institute of Archeology where Professor Zhang worked was recruiting a graduate student, and Xu Wenying signed up.
Everything went surprisingly smoothly. When she excitedly reported to the institute, Professor Zhang told Xu Wenying without any emotion that she could follow him, but Xu Wenying was not allowed to mention anything about Xu Junhui in front of him, let alone let anyone in the institute know.
People know that they are father and daughter.
Xu Wenying was very dissatisfied, but she finally agreed. She knew that even though so many years had passed, Professor Zhang still had not gotten over the original pain.
After following Professor Zhang for three years, Xu Junhui's condition went up and down, but Professor Zhang never took the initiative to ask about it. Occasionally, Xu Wenying couldn't help but mention her mother in front of him, and Professor Zhang would always interrupt her, or get up and leave directly.
Regarding this point, Xu Wenying still resents Professor Zhang in her heart. She feels a little unworthy of her mother. After so many years, Xu Junhui has given up on her stubbornness. She has been alone all her life. She is still so sick now, which can be regarded as a punishment.
It's time for retribution. No matter how big your mistake is, you should be forgiven!
But a father is a father after all. Xu Wenying knew that matters about parents were the business of the older generation. Although she complained, she still took good care of Professor Zhang in work and life, and also followed his request and did not let the researcher
People in the institute knew that they were father and daughter.
This time I came to Jiming Village with Professor Zhang. Xu Wenying hired a nanny for Xu Junhui. Shortly before entering the mountain, the nanny called and told Xu Wenying that Xu Junhui's condition had relapsed. She had severe liver and ascites and could not eat anything.
I still fall into coma occasionally. I have been sent to the hospital and will start drainage tomorrow.
After saying this, Xu Wenying sighed and said: "I don't know how my mother's condition is. If I can go back this time, she should still be in the hospital when I go back!"
"Don't worry, we will definitely be able to go back!" I comforted her.
Professor Zhang, who was walking in front of us, suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Xu Wenying, his eyes full of pity and guilt.
His face was a little pale, and there were still several corollas of Bibiana adsorbed on it. The originally thin and thin silk-like corollas had become much thicker.
Xu Wenying stretched out her hand and gently pulled off the corolla attached to Professor Zhang's face. The corolla broke and was stained with bright red liquid on her hand, and a slight smell of blood floated in the air.
"Wen Ying, I'm sorry, it's my father's fault. You have suffered too these years! When we go back, I will accompany you to visit your mother!" Professor Zhang said with trembling lips.
"Really?" Xu Wenying's eyes lit up and became moist instantly, "You don't blame my mother anymore?"
"Actually, I don't blame your mother, I blame myself!" Professor Zhang habitually tore his hair, "If I could explain a few more words and give more comfort to the people around me, there wouldn't be any trouble in the end.
As a result, your mother was just a big child at that time, and she should not be responsible for these mistakes alone."
Having said this, Professor Zhang raised his head, looked into the dark void and sighed, "I have been like an ostrich all these years, deceiving myself and others into thinking that if I don't think about these things and see your mother, these things will never happen."
It happened. In fact, it’s not your mother that I can’t forgive, but myself. I can’t face my former self.”
"Dad!" Xu Wenying shouted excitedly!
Professor Zhang nodded with a smile, looked at me and asked, "Girl, how are you? Can you still carry it? How about I carry it?"
"It's okay, Sister Wenying is not heavy, I can carry it!" I shook my head and looked at the seemingly endless sea of flowers in front of me, "Let's go quickly!"
"Professor, we seem to be back where we were!" Qian Zhiqi, who had been walking in front without making a sound, suddenly turned around and looked at us and said.
"What?" Professor Zhang was shocked and looked around.
Qian Zhiqi used his flashlight to shine at a place near the river, "Professor, look, that seems to be the place where the soldier was swallowed by the strange snake!"
We looked over according to the light of the flashlight, and sure enough, there was a large piece of Bianganhua near the river that had been crushed and crushed to pieces and stuck to the ground. The scarlet piece was stuck to the ground, and there was an empty plastic bag of compressed biscuits on it.
I lowered my head and looked at the Bianhua flower at my feet. The corolla showed a strange bright red color, as if it was glowing, and the stamens and petals were much thicker than before.
"Dad, why is this happening? Can't we get out? And that strange snake, what is it? Will it come out again? How about we walk into the water?" Xu Wenying looked at Professor Zhang with horror on her face.
asked.
"That's not a strange snake, that's the female fish of the Yin Fish. It should have injured its internal organs and can't come out. But we can't go into the water. If the female fish is injured, those little Yin Fish will go even crazier to catch food for the mother.
The fish heals its wounds," Professor Zhang said.
As he spoke, it was as if a pot was boiling in the water again, with densely packed black backs of fishes exposed on the water, but they did not reach the shore. Some of the corollas of the other shore flowers even followed the movement in the water and extended their slender stamens into the water.
inside.
"Girl, have you thought of any solution?" Professor Zhang looked back at me and asked.
I looked around and saw that the river was full of roiling Yin fish, and in front and behind were bright red and weird Bana flowers, stretching out their slender corollas and stamens, constantly entwining themselves around people.
"Did we encounter a ghost and hit the wall?" Fu Jie asked, his voice trembling.
I shook my head, "It's not like a ghost beating a wall."
I started looking at the Qi here when I discovered that there was something wrong with the Bana Flower. The Yin Qi in this place is very strong, but the strange thing is that there is no death Qi at all. Even the soul of the soldier who was swallowed by the Yin Fish did not come out.
But this is easy to explain. His soul should have been swallowed by the female fish.
Xiao Han didn't come back. Now in this weird place, I can only think of a way. I don't want to see any of us end up like that soldier again.
The yin fish in the water can't get to the shore, so it doesn't pose much of a threat to us. At most, it's just scary to look at.
Before finding a way out, the first and most important thing is to find a way to avoid the sneak attack of those other shore flowers.
Looking at the flower still trying to wrap around people, I suddenly thought of a way.
"Do you all have spare clothes in your backpack? Or a towel is fine too!" I asked everyone.
Everyone looked at me with some confusion. Professor Zhang also looked at me with confusion and asked, "Girl, why do you need clothes now?"
Before I could explain, Xu Wenying on my back said, "I have it in my bag!"
After speaking, he reached into his bag and took out two pieces of clothing. This chapter has been completed!
