Kaifeng Monster

Chapter 76
Zhan Zhao couldn't help but laugh: "Could it be that I want horns on my head?"

He just said that, but Duanmucui really looked at him carefully, his eyes lingering on his head, Zhan Zhao's scalp was numb, he was really afraid that two horns would burst out suddenly.

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly said out of nowhere: "Zhan Zhao, if you can't find her, you can go back by yourself."

Zhan Zhao was startled, and blurted out, "What did you say?"

"I said," Duanmucui said seriously, "if you can't find her, you can go back by yourself."

Zhan Zhao froze there, the idea of ​​"going back by himself" never occurred to him at all.Moreover, according to what Wen Guweiyu said, if Duanmucui can't be found, he can't leave Shen Yuan at all.

Seeing him in a daze, Duanmucui thought that he didn't understand, but instead carefully analyzed it one by one: "Zhan Zhao, since you are from after 2000, your friends or relatives should still be there, don't you think so?" Don’t you miss them? You’ve been looking for that Duanmu girl for so long, and since you can’t find it, don’t look for it anymore. Some things are just lost if you lose them, so why be persistent?”

Zhan Zhao's face turned green, and he stood up abruptly, startling Duanmucui.

She stared at him blankly, not sure why he acted like this, but after a while, Zhan Zhao sat down slowly again, his face calmed down, his chest heaved violently, which showed that he was just agitated.

After a pause, he whispered, "You don't understand."

"If I don't understand, you tell me, then I will understand?" Duanmu Cui smiled sweetly, "I only know that if it were me, in another world, and I couldn't find the person I was looking for, wouldn't I still stay here for the rest of my life?" Zhan Zhao, you just said that you like her, but you don’t want to part with her, but no matter how reluctant you are, you’ll have to live on. I don’t know how many things I don’t want to part with since I was a child, but there are some things that you can’t control. Sad and sad, looking back after a long time, no matter how severe the wound is, it is not so uncomfortable."

Zhan Zhao smiled faintly: "I know."

Then he stopped talking, his eyes were a little dazed, as if he was thinking about the old things, and the tenderness gradually melted in his eyes: "Duanmu is a very good girl, sometimes she has a big temper, like a torrential rain in hot summer, hitting you all over Wet, but before you could react, she turned her anger into joy again, making you dumbfounded..."

His voice gradually lowered: "In short... she is a very good girl."

Duanmu Cui hummed and listened to him quietly.

"She went down to get rid of demons. Wen Guwei colluded with the God of Plague and spread the plague in Xuanping City. In just a few days, I don't know how many innocent people were killed. Mr. Bao sent me and Mr. Gongsun to Xuanping to see the opportunity for treatment. But With humble manpower, how can Bai Zhi and Ai Cao be against evildoers and sycophants? If there is no Duanmu, how many people can Mr. Gongsun and I save?
"I've never heard of the bad reputation of the Ming Dao, but I also know that if the Ming Dao is opened, the world will inevitably be devastated. , even if it is to show someone's brains, it is worth it.

"Fortunately, God has eyes, and Duanmu stopped Wen Guweiyu. At first I didn't know that she was falling into the abyss, but I thought she was dead, so I decided to leave. Even though there was reluctance and pain in my heart, there was no point in staying in the underworld. , It just adds a life. But later Wen Guweiyu told me that Duanmu didn't die, she just fell into the abyss.

"Since I know she will not die, even if I risk my life, I will naturally find her back. The underworld is closed, and the world is too peaceful and happy. It was Duanmu who sacrificed himself in exchange for it. Could it be that I will send her away because I am afraid of Shen Yuan's danger? She was left alone, greedy for life, afraid of death, and just trying to survive? The well-digger is not forgotten when drinking water. The world does not know what she has done, will not say hello to her, does not care about her life and death future or is justified, but I am by her side, everything is in sight. Here, if I abandon her again, who will miss her? If I abandon her, who will care about her?
"You are right. Kaifeng has relatives and friends that I care about, and there are also Zhan's unfulfilled responsibilities. If he can catch it, Zhan naturally hopes to return with Duanmu as soon as possible, but if the sky is not in my favor, he will not be able to return ..."

Speaking of this, a trace of almost imperceptible pain flashed across Zhan Zhao's face: "If the sky does not favor me and I cannot return, then in Zhan Zhao's heart, although he has regrets, he is not ashamed. Zhan Zhao can also be regarded as sealing the underworld, for The death of the common people in Xuanping is not a death without weight. If you say that I hate her, you are right and wrong. I hate her because I have feelings for her; if I want to get her back, it is more righteous. To be a human being, to take care of myself, I hope that there is love and righteousness, I don’t want to be a ruthless person who destroys righteousness, no matter how others comment, I have him freely, I have a clear conscience.”

Duanmucui was stunned.

In fact, she may not be able to fully understand Zhan Zhao's thoughts, but she just feels that what he said is sincere, open, sincere and sincere, and every word and every word arouses waves in her heart, which is really unprecedented.She was changed when she was young, and she had to be thoughtful and considerate when she was young. Later, she was trained by Jiang Ziya, and she was promoted to a warrior, and she was even more ruthless. Words come first, have you ever thought about what love and meaning are?Even if there is, it is a small love and selfishness, not salty, not light, not light, not itchy, come when you call, and it is not a pity to abandon it.

For such a short time, she even envied that Duanmu girl.

That night she summoned Zhan Zhao to come in, and said, "Don't be surrounded by clouds and fog, let's talk about it openly", but it wasn't a lie.She is not afraid to tell Zhan Zhao: Although she has doubts in her heart that this is Shen Yuan, she is not willing to sacrifice everything she has for this gamble.From her point of view, everything is fine here. Shangfu, Zhuchang, Yang Jian, and Ami are all people she knows well. From childhood to adulthood, the past has been well documented, and she is willing to continue like this.Although she has a good impression of Zhan Zhao, she has no impression of who Zhan Zhao is, and she doesn't know what the dynasty will look like after 2000. Why did she give up everything in front of her, even her life, to listen to Zhan Zhao's family Resignation?
However, after hearing Zhan Zhao's words, she hesitated.

This hesitation does not mean that she has changed her mind, it is just that she suddenly wants to procrastinate this moment of "declaration" that must be faced, and buy more time for herself.Maybe she should think about it again, there are many things, she should think about it again...

"Zhan Zhao, I..."

Before she could continue, her expression suddenly changed.

She pressed her hand to her lower abdomen, her eyes suddenly became blurred, she felt that the person in front of her was stretched and shortened for a while, there were chaotic color blocks colliding randomly, and then covered with a layer of blood.

There is a thick and slightly fishy liquid flowing from the corner of the eye, it must not be tears.

Duanmucui's consciousness is like boiling water, at first he could vaguely distinguish shapes, colors and sounds, but later he could only hear the sound of boiling water.The voice seemed to spread from the inside of her body, gradually covering her eardrums, and then she heard her own calm voice: "I'm poisoned."

After this sound, all the dams and defense lines collapsed.She didn't know if she fell down, but it seemed that she was supported by Zhan Zhao. For a moment, the big acupoints all over her body were pressed by external force, and she was awake for a moment.She saw Zhan Zhao's anxious and pale face, but she had no time to take care of these, she stared at the image of herself in Zhan Zhao's eyes.

"I died so ugly." She suddenly had such a strange thought.

Then, even the punching of the acupoints couldn't keep her awake, she couldn't see or hear anything, and she felt like a black bird with broken wings, plummeting into the unknown depths.

There are many quick flashback memory fragments, noisily crowded into the mind, and quickly pushed away aggressively by the latecomers.Many past events, sad or joyful, impressive or shallow, important or unimportant, all rushed forward and disappeared before she could discern them.She knew exactly that she was going to die, and she was no stranger to this feeling.

Who will save me?she thinks.

That time, she thought so too.

She didn't know that the burial was so terrible. At the beginning, there were air holes in the coffin, and she lay unsteadily in the coffin, her eyes were fixed on the two thin lines of light penetrating through the air holes, and she wailed in her ears. The sound of wailing.She doesn't feel lonely, she is still in the world through the coffin.

But later, when the coffin was buried in the ground, the last ray of light disappeared, and the feeling of suffocation and darkness rushed over her face. She was so frightened that she cried out, trying her best to grab and kick the dark coffin wall with her hands and legs. I was left crying, and started to cry at the top of my throat, and then I was tired of crying, sobbing and crying intermittently in a small voice.

Weeping and crying, she suddenly heard her mother calling her: "Little Wood."

She was startled, curiosity was greater than surprise, her eyes were wide open, and she wondered: "Mother, why are you here?"

She saw her mother's cold body being put into another coffin with her own eyes. Could it be that she cried too loudly and woke up her mother?
The coffin was very dark, she couldn't see her mother's appearance, but she could feel her mother's cloud-like hands gently caressing her hair, and her voice was very pleasant: "Xiao Mu, sleep for a while."

She fell asleep obediently, and she didn't know how long she slept. When she woke up, she heard the sound of scratching, like fingernails scraping the wall of the coffin, which made her hair stand on end.

She couldn't help asking, "Mother, is that you?"

Mother responded in a low voice, coaxing her softly: "Mother wants to break the coffin and let Xiaomu go out."

"Then don't grab it, it's so ugly." She complained, and after thinking about it, she reasoned with her mother seriously, "I can't grab it, I can't even kick it so hard."

Niang burst out laughing, her voice becoming softer and gentler: "Okay, don't scratch, that little log will sleep well."

She sighed in her heart, why did she want to sleep again? Although she really liked to sleep, wouldn't she be beaten by her mother if she slept too much before?
However, just sleep and sleep, if you don't sleep, you don't sleep for nothing.

She didn't know if she had slept for a day, two days, or three days. After waking up, she couldn't sleep anymore. She gently pulled on her mother's clothes and whispered: "Mother, I had a dream."

Mother hummed, and kissed her on the forehead, her lips were slightly cool, like petals that had been frosted but plump, with a cool fragrance: "The little wood, tell me, what dream did you have. "

"I dreamed that I was going to die." She recalled, frowning, and concluded, "Then a bear flew across the sky, and I was fine, not dead."

In fact, she had a very long dream. In the dream, she encountered many dangers and strange ways of dying. Once, she was bitten by a mosquito, and she felt that she was going to die.

But every time, she turned the corner, why?Just because a bear flew across the sky?What a strange dream it was.

King Wen’s fourth son, Zhou Gongdan, was good at interpreting dreams, but at that time, he was not well-known, and Duanmucui had never heard of him, so she could only ask her mother, “Mother, what does this dream mean?”
