"Okay! Mom is waiting for you at home!" Mom responded with tears in her eyes.
I turned around and walked out of the room, with endless struggle in my heart. I kept telling myself in my heart, I can't fail! I must not fail! I can't fail no matter what!
The Taoist Priest Qinghua stood outside the door and sighed softly, "A man doesn't shed tears easily, but he hasn't reached the sad point yet! Forget it, don't be sad any more. I can reach this point calmly in this life."
It’s a sight to behold!”
I nodded and quickly walked out of the yard, because I was afraid that the mother behind me would really shed tears.
When I left the courtyard, I saw Chen Dong and his wife standing outside the door with a small lantern.
There was lamentation on the faces of the two people. After scanning my body for a moment, Chen Dongcai said softly: "Tianju, there are some things to do, because it is your own responsibility! If one day you really lose your life because of your own responsibility,
Of all the things, I hope you can think a little more!"
"I understand!" I responded.
Chen Dong nodded and placed the small lantern in his arms on the ground.
"Dad...Dad..." The little lantern opened its arms and staggered towards me.
I hurriedly knelt down and held him in my arms. Feeling the touch of his arms, I felt a warmth in my heart.
Little Lantern is six years old and can talk to people normally and can even understand my thoughts. He wiped my cheek with one hand and put his little face affectionately on my other cheek.
"If you want to go to Xiaohe Cemetery, a small lantern is an indispensable part!" the Qinghua Taoist Priest on the side said softly.
I was slightly stunned, "What's going on?"
"You'll know when you get there!" Taoist Master Qinghua sighed.
My expression changed somewhat. What on earth is going on with this guy? How come everything is so mysterious?
"Let's go!" Taoist Master Qinghua sighed.
"I'll leave the child to you!" Chen Dong said encouragingly to me.
I gritted my teeth and said, "He will be there when I am here. Even if I am gone, he will still be there!"
"Tianju, don't resist anything by yourself. If you can't bear it, what about all of us? We will accompany you to bear it together! Although Brother Chen's shoulders are a little weaker, if he wants to overwhelm me, he will definitely do it.
It's not that easy!" Chen Dong patted me on the shoulder.
I nodded, responded, and strode towards the car.
"Dad, don't cry!" the little lantern said softly.
I nodded and hugged him tighter, "Good boy, be good!"
The little lantern nodded and put his head close to my arms. I looked back at Chen Dong and sighed as I looked at the figures that were about to go away.
The car started and was already out of the sky quickly. There is a small airport in the county. We had communicated with Chen Ziqing yesterday that we would take off directly from the airport in the county and rush towards Xinjiang. After arriving at Xiaohe Cemetery, we would transfer there.
Shigatse. Although I asked Wang Fulin to go there and palm the eyes, I always felt that there would be some problems if I didn't go there myself.
The scenery outside the car was moving backwards rapidly. I lowered my head thoughtfully, not knowing what I was thinking. Is Dai Jie really at Xiaohe Cemetery? Is she really there?
Shit... An hour later, the car parked outside the airport.
Wang Qiang stood in front of the car and nodded to me, "Let's go, the lady has arrived. Let's go directly to Xinjiang!"
I nodded, agreed, and got on the plane with Little Lantern in my arms. Little Lantern and Chen Ziqing were already very familiar with each other. After getting on the plane, I kept shrinking in Chen Ziqing's arms. And Chen Ziqing rarely showed off that domineering attitude.
like a child, taking good care of the little lantern.
The atmosphere was very depressing until the plane took off. Taoist priest Qinghua made a few jokes, but no one paid attention to him and could only shut up in embarrassment.
I looked at the clouds outside the window and slowly closed my eyes.
"Mr. Lang...how can you lift these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers?" Dai Jie said to me with a smile.
I opened my eyes suddenly, and cold sweat fell from my forehead.
"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Chen Ziqing looked at me with concern in her eyes.
I shook my head and wiped the sweat from my forehead, "No...it's nothing..."
Chen Ziqing sighed lightly and said nothing more.
I glanced at the sleeping little lantern and looked at the sky outside, "Where are you? How long will it take to get there?"
"In half an hour, we should be there!" Chen Ziqing said softly.
I nodded. It was still very bright outside, but it looked like it was almost evening.
"Tianju, everyone has one of these things!" Taoist Master Qinghua took out a few paper charms from the palm of his hand and stuffed them into my hand.
I was stunned for a moment, "One for each person? What is this?"
"That's right! Everyone must have one! This is a paper talisman to drive away souls to prevent us from having any accidents! Another thing I want to tell you is that if we go to Xiaohe Cemetery, you must control your emotions. I heard you
No?" Taoist Priest Qinghua said very solemnly.
I frowned, "What do you mean?"
"I asked you to control your emotions to avoid any trouble! If anything happens, we may accomplish nothing!" Taoist Master Qinghua's eyes were serious.
I nodded, with doubts in my mind. Can you control your emotions? Could it be that you have controlled your emotions after seeing Dai Jie? Did something go wrong with Dai Jie? Or did she...become a Yin evil?
My heart trembled violently, but then I thought back to when I was in Guangling Village, Dai Jie didn't seem to be too impressed by Qisha Ming.
I half-squinted my eyes and felt the plane landing slowly, and I felt relieved. No matter what happened, I would naturally know it when I arrived at Xiaohe Cemetery. There is definitely no use in thinking so much here.
After the plane docked, Wang Qiang took everyone off the plane. This time, the reception from Xinjiang was very grand. After all, the person coming this time was Chen Ziqing. Chen Ziqing handed the small lantern into my hand and greeted several senior officials from Xinjiang.
After saying a few words, they got into the car one after another. After all, the Chen family's business was here, so Chen Ziqing's prestige was very high.
I went all the way back to the hotel and found the most luxurious room, and then I put the small lantern in it.
"Everything is ready. We can set off tomorrow morning. If we go quickly, we can reach Xiaohe Cemetery tomorrow night!" Chen Ziqing returned to the room and said softly.
I responded and looked out the window, still feeling a little commotion in my heart. I didn't know what the commotion was about, but I could clearly feel that the commotion made me inexplicably uneasy.
"Go to bed early! I'm afraid I'll have to get up early tomorrow!" Chen Ziqing said softly.
I turned my head and glanced at her, with still anxiety in my eyes.
Chen Ziqing smiled softly and smoothed the hair on her forehead, "Maybe Dai Jie is also waiting for you, waiting for you to bring her back! If she sees you like this now, she will definitely not
Will be happy!"
I stared at her cheek and smiled inexplicably, "I know!"
Chen Ziqing nodded gently, without saying anything else, turned around, opened the door, and returned to her room.
I entered the room, hugged the little lantern's body, and gradually fell into a deep sleep.
The road leading to Xiaohe Cemetery seemed very boring, and I stopped for a while before turning around and riding on horseback. Chen Ziqing's body was already a little weak, and she was a little unstable when riding. Fortunately, the speed of forwarding was kept under control.
It's very good, which can save her a lot of unnecessary trouble.
As night approaches, starlight appears in the desert. This kind of embellishment in the blue is shocking to people.
"I have never seen such a scene in my life!" Chen Ziqing rode on the horse and looked at the sky.
I smiled but didn't say much. Her body was already weak, and she grew up in a wheelchair. Although she went to many places, she rarely experienced it in person. She was able to see this scene.
, it also means a lot to her.
"Tianju! Thank you!" Chen Ziqing said to me inexplicably.
I was stunned for a moment, with a hint of embarrassment in my eyes, "I'm doing it for myself too!"
"Without you, how could I stand up and walk? Without you, I wouldn't even dare to think that I would be in a place like this!" Chen Ziqing seemed like an innocent child.
"Aunt Chen, I will often bring you here to play in the future!" Little Lantern pursed her lips and said with a smile.
Chen Ziqing smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Aunt Chen!"
The little lantern chuckled and trembled a little.
"We're almost reaching the camp! Everyone, speed up!" Wang Qiang in front shouted.
My heart skipped a beat, and there was a trace of hesitation in my eyes. Are we finally reaching Xiaohe Cemetery? Is Dai Jie really here?
The horse seemed to sense my mood, and its four hooves sped up. Half an hour later, the camp appeared in front of me.
A small river meandered in front of me. The water in it was so clear that it seemed to illuminate people's hearts.
I got off the horse, took down the small lantern, and looked at the hillside in the distance. On that hillside, the body of Queen Loulan was suppressed. The clear singing voice at that time seemed to still echo in my ears.
"The boat... rocks and rocks... my husband, when will you come back?"
I chanted softly from the corners of my mouth, as if I had lost consciousness for a moment.
"Dad..." Little Lantern suddenly pulled my sleeve.
I came to my senses in a hurry, and the sweat on my forehead was soaked. What happened? How could I sing this song?
