An ordinary residential building, second floor, east door.
Ling Chen did not enter through the front door, but avoided all eyes and jumped onto the balcony with Tiantian. Through the balcony, he entered the home he had left for a long time.
There is a thick layer of dust everywhere, and there are scattered vague footprints in the direction of the door. Obviously, someone has investigated this place these days. The Long family already knows his identity, so they can naturally check this place. Ling
Chen silently looked at the tables, chairs, and every corner here, and was stunned for a long time. She also kept looking at this place every day. She had many things to ask, but looking at Ling Chen's lost look, she pursed her lips
, remained quiet.
Except for too much dust, everything was the same as when they left. In two years, Shui Ruo's sick body could not bear the long journey, so they never came back. Ling Chen walked forward,
Opened the innermost room...
There were beds, cabinets, tables... and many neatly arranged dolls. The air seemed to be filled with that lingering smell. Ling Chen's vision gradually became hazy, as if he saw Shui Ruo pulling him away again.
Enter the room and show him the beautiful new doll you bought.
Pressing the switch on the wall, the lights turned on. The power was not cut off, and the warm light illuminated every corner that Ling Chen could see. Ling Chen closed his eyes, exhaled silently, and then slowly said
: "Here is Shui Ruo's room. Although it is not as big as the one in Jinghua, she likes this small space that belongs to her so much. She keeps it clean and tidy every day. She likes to collect all kinds of stuffed animals.
, getting beautiful plush toys is the happiest thing for her. In those years, her parents gave her a lot, and I gave her a lot. Even if the room was almost full, she was not willing to throw away any of them. Now she still
Many of them are placed in my room. At that time, she would playfully ask her good friends to play with me and sleep together."
Tiantian's eyes turned red little by little. She held Ling Chen's hand and said softly: "Brother, don't be sad, okay? I will listen to my brother in the future and do as well as my sister."
Lingchen smiled and held Tiantian's hand.
Opposite Shui Ruo's room is his room. It was originally a study room. After he entered this home, it belonged to him. He still remembered that when it rained and thundered, Shui Ruo left his room for the first time because he was afraid.
She ran out of his room and got into his bed... Later, she sneaked into his room in the middle of the night more and more often. At first, her parents would scold her, but later they found that they couldn't stop it, so they had to smile bitterly.
Just let it be.
Next door is the parents' room, a mother who is always so gentle and easy-going, who loves and dotes on her daughter and her son, and a father who is elegant and calm, and whose life-long mission is to save lives and heal the wounded.
But why did such a good family end up like this?
My father contracted Isloca and infected it to my mother and Shui Ruo without realizing it. Knowing that they were infected with this terrible virus, all the kind relatives avoided it and never interacted with each other again.
The so-called family ties seem so humble and ridiculous under this virus. Neighbors who were once friendly would hide away when they saw them. All the families across the street and upstairs and downstairs moved out. The family became like a family overnight.
Being ruthlessly abandoned by the whole world.
He still clearly remembers that his parents and Shui Ruo cried and begged him to leave, otherwise, sooner or later he would be infected with Isloka. Of course he would not leave... Don't say that his body would not be infected by any virus.
Even if he could be infected, he would not leave. At that time, he was also in deep fear, because even Shui Ruo had been infected. Later, his parents passed away after all, and they had tears in their eyes when they left.
, entrusted Shui Ruo to him, and left with infinite concern and regret...
"Dad...Mom...I still...failed to take good care of Ruoruo...I..."
Standing in front of his parents' door, he hung his head heavily, blaming and repenting in endless heartache.
There was some slight movement in his ears. He did not avoid it, but calmed his heart, took Ruoruo's hand, and walked towards the balcony.
A figure appeared strangely on the balcony, rushed in front of Ling Chen, looked at him closely, and felt the breath coming from him. The man's whole body was shaking with excitement, and then he suddenly knelt down in front of him, speaking incoherently in excitement:
Ling Chen smiled and said: "It's me, Ghost Thorn, we haven't seen each other in the real world for quite some time. You've been staying here for the past two years. It's really hard on you."
"It's not hard, not hard at all." The man in black, known as Ghost Thorn, shook his head hurriedly and shouted with great excitement: "Master, something serious happened in Jinghua... but I can't help at all. It's really
Damn it...but...it's great, Master, you're okay...It's great. Now everyone is worried about Master's safety, and they can't even sleep well, especially those old ghosts in Jinghua who are looking for them like crazy.
Looking after the master...if everyone knows that the master is fine, they will all go crazy with joy."
He knew that Gui Ya and the others would be worried these days, but he could not return to Jinghua, nor could he contact Gui Ya and the others. He helped Gui Ci up and said, "Go and tell them that I am fine. I am with Tiantian now."
Zhongzhou.”
Ghost Thorn was still trembling with excitement. For them, there was no better news than that Ling Chen was safe and sound. He took out a miniature communicator from his arms, quickly clicked on a few numbers, and then placed it on Ling Chen.
On the hand: "Master, it's better for you to tell them in person. They haven't slept for several days and nights. Only when they hear your voice will they feel completely at ease."
Ling Chen took the communicator and put it to his ear. Soon, the communicator was connected and the person on the other side was silent.
Ling Chen said: "Gui Ya, it's me."
Snapped……
Ling Chen clearly heard the sound of something falling to the ground. After a while, a voice that was greatly distorted by trembling came: "Master...Master?"
"Well, it's me. I'm fine. Now I'm in Zhongzhou with Tiantian... Are you all okay?"
The other side was silent for a long time, and then Guiya roared like crazy: "Master!!! It's the master!!! It's the master's voice!! Come on, it's the master!!"
Ling Chen heard chaotic footsteps, screams, the sound of the door being pushed open suddenly, the sound of seats being knocked down violently, and even the sound of someone being knocked to the ground... A warm and sour feeling filled Ling Chen.
His heart was full. He approached the communicator and said in as calm a voice as possible: "I'm really fine. Even my injuries have healed by more than half. I'm in Zhongzhou with Tiantian now. It's safe. Nothing is wrong."
None...Ghost Thorn can testify."
"Yes!" Gui Xi howled loudly, not caring about being heard by people outside: "It's the master! It's really the master! It's absolutely true... and the little sister Tiantian beside the master, the master looks energetic now.
Yiyi, nothing happened at all."
"It's the master! It's Ghost Thorn and the master's voice... It's the master!"
"...Get out of the way, get out of the way, let me hear the master's voice...Get out of the way quickly."
"Squeeze your sister... My master is protected by gods. It's okay to be fine. I see you are such a loser. I'm in tears!"
"Damn! Please wipe off the water on your face first and then tell me if I can..."
…………………………
The sound coming from the communicator was chaotic, and each of these dark night gods who were usually silent seemed to be going crazy. Ling Chen didn't speak for a long time, and the hand holding the communicator became tighter and tighter unconsciously.
It became more and more clear that he really made the most wrong and selfish decision that night.
"That's enough! No noise! How can you let the master talk like this!"
Gui Ya had the prestige second only to Ling Chen. When he roared, the place immediately fell silent, leaving only the sound of rapid breathing. Only then did Gui Ya get close to the communicator and said urgently: "Master, what are you doing now?
Is it really okay? Is it okay every day?"
"Well, we are all fine. My trauma has been 10% healed. In another week at most, I can fully recover. You should know my self-healing ability best. I am fine every day, but... just those days
In order to save me and take care of me, I endured a lot of hardships. If it weren't for Tiantian, I might...never see you again." Ling Chen said sadly.
The ghost thorns around him cast extremely grateful looks at Tiantian. Ling Chen's words instantly raised Tiantian's position in the hearts of these dark night gods of death to an extremely high level.
"Tiantian... is such an amazing child, a great benefactor to all of us. Huh, just be okay with you, it's really great. I knew that Master and Tiantian must be auspicious, haha, hahahaha..." The heavy feeling in my heart
Guiya continued to breathe a sigh of relief as the boulder completely fell to the ground, and then he couldn't help laughing. When he smiled, everyone else also laughed heartily. Knowing that Ling Chen was fine, all their worries, stress, and panic disappeared.
Disappearing, the physical and mental fatigue that had almost knocked them all down these days, as well as the major and minor injuries on their bodies, were nothing at all.
"You must have suffered a lot of injuries when you went to Long's house to rescue me that day. You should take good care of your injuries these days and don't work too hard. In addition, you must pay attention to safety...these are orders." Ling Chen said sternly.
"Understood." Guiya agreed immediately.
"Now tell me, that night... did any of the brothers have an accident at the Long family? Tell me one by one." Ling Chen calmed down his expression and said seriously.
The smile on Gui Ya's face disappeared, and he was silent for a long time before saying in a low voice: "Ying Ya is dead. He stayed at the end to cover our evacuation, and then detonated the bomb on his body. There are also bugs, and his legs
He was seriously injured, and he was afraid that we would drag him down if we took him away, so he threw himself at the Fierce Tiger Army, was captured by them, and is now imprisoned in the secret dungeon of the Xuanyuan family."
Yingya, insects...
His heart clenched violently, and he sighed and said: "Gui Dao is also dead... just like Ying Ya, he detonated the bomb on his body. Before he died, he should have handed me over to Bingyao."
There was silence in the communicator for a long time, and then there were several sounds of bones being dislocated.
"It's all my fault. I hurt them... It's all because of me..." Ling Chen closed his eyes and blamed himself deeply. If it wasn't for the madness caused by despair, how could they have done anything to save him?
…
"No! Master, please don't think so! It is their honor to die for their master, and it is also the most willing and safe way for them to die... Master, don't worry, we will rescue the insect, Yingya and Guidao."
One day we will get it back from the Long family tenfold or a hundredfold!" Gui Ya said through gritted teeth.
