There was silence in the corridor, and the lighting instruments on the wall were still dim. Under the mist, the scene was always blurry.
The faint sound of breathing sounded softly, which was so difficult to detect in the silent corridor. Only Mr. Huang himself knew how heavy his breathing was.
The poisonous air was inhaled into his abdomen, and his broken lungs bulged slightly. A lingering pain immediately swept through his body. Mr. Huang immediately began to expel the gas, and then the severe pain slowly subsided.
Blood dripped down the bent fingers and fell to the ground. Mr. Huang turned his eyes, looking past the blood on the ground, and finally landed on an apple.
There was a little dust on the apple, but not a drop of blood was splashed on it. Even the meandering blood seemed to be revolving around it. In the mist, the apple looked so beautiful.
Just then, a figure emerged from the mist and gently picked up the apple.
He was dressed in a white robe, with long hair hanging down his back, and a visible tenderness often printed on his face.
"Boy Liu, how long have you been staying here..."
"I've been here since before you guys came, and I've never left."
"If you say so... Mr. Liu, you heard everything!"
"Yes, I listened very clearly and carefully. Every word you said before, Mr. Huang, seems to still be in my ears..."
The corners of Mr. Huang's mouth trembled slightly, and he forced a crazier smile: "That's right, betraying the family only has interests in your eyes, and only yourself in your heart. Mr. Liu, you must be very disappointed with me like this! Hahaha..."
As he laughed, a fishy sweetness crept up along with his breath, he coughed violently, blood sprayed out like pillars, and the long-awaited sharp pain spread throughout his body.
Mr. Huang's whole body was twitching in pain. In order to prevent the pain from continuing, he could not scream and even breathed as slowly as possible.
Liu Nian stepped forward and gently tapped Mr. Huang's blood-stained forehead.
Mr. Huang felt that the pain all over his body suddenly dissipated, and he felt light and airy, as if he was in the clouds. However, he also found that he had lost control of this broken body.
"Mr. Huang, my move is called 'Awakening from a Dream'. You will lose body control and senses below the neck, which will help you relieve the pain."
Liu Nian's eyes swept across Mr. Huang's bloody body, and when he saw the shocking blood hole on his chest, he couldn't help but look away.
"Da Nian, won't you save Mr. Huang?"
"Second thought, it depends on him."
Liu Nian said: "Master Huang, you first take all the blame, and then use your own life to eliminate the anger in Shangguan Jing's heart!
How could I be disappointed when I see Mr. Huang like this? "
After hearing these words, Mr. Huang felt a trace of sadness on the tip of his nose, but no tears came out. His expression was still full of laughter, and he said jokingly: "You are self-righteous!"
"Master Huang, how can a guy who only has eyes for himself know what the 3,427 people in his family look like?
How could a person with only profit in his eyes be willing to invite me, a stranger, to the Huang family as a non-working guest? "
Liu Nian said warmly: "Master Huang, Shangguan Jing has left. You can take off this mask you just put on. It's really fake!"
Mr. Huang's expression changed slightly, from crazy to relaxed, and he said softly: "Master, I have lived for so long, I have so many good friends, and I have a daughter who has been with me for half my life. I never expected that I know me best and can understand me." Xinxin, the person who can be called a close friend is actually a monk from the sect who has only talked to me for ten days..."
"No! Mr. Huang, actually the person who understands you is not me! The person who truly understands every move and every word you say is actually..." Liu Nian paused and closed his eyes slightly. After opening them again, It has turned into pure black: "It's me!"
The seriously injured Mr. Huang's vision was a little blurry, and the corridor was already foggy. He didn't notice at all that Liu Nian's eyes had changed color.
"Mr. Huang, I have a few questions to ask you. I wonder if you can give me the answers?"
"Ask me, since I'm like this now, I have nothing to hide!"
Due to his serious injury, Mr. Huang smiled bitterly and was in a daze for a moment. He shook his head, sobered up a bit and said: "It is a kind of enjoyment to talk to a close friend, but I am afraid that I won't have to say anything before I have time to say it... …”
"Master Huang, Shangguan Jing seeks revenge from you. From a certain point of view, the general is not wrong. You have an unshirkable responsibility for what happened today.
I don’t think your Huang family can afford to support a loser, so I want to know, what is the real reason why you wrote that letter of divorce? "
"The reason is a bit troublesome, but if it's you, you should understand!
As you said, our Huang family can and can afford to raise rubbish..."
Mr. Huang swallowed the blood in his mouth and said in a weak tone: "Everyone can be a waste, even Master I can be a waste!
But he cannot be a waste, let alone a waste who thinks he is a waste, because he is not only my adopted son, but also my son-in-law and my daughter's husband..."
“I understand, without further ado, I’ll hurry up and ask the next question!
Mr. Huang, you are not stupid. You should know in your heart that as long as you ask me for help, you will be very sure to kill Shangguan Jing and eliminate the crisis in your Huang family. But you choose to use this stupid method! "
Liu Nian sighed softly and said: "I wasted my life for that stubborn young man who has not grown up! Do you think your choice is worth it?"
"This is what I owe him. It's certainly worth it to return it to him now..."
Mr. Huang's eyes looked tired, as if he would fall asleep at any time.
"I respect your choice! Maybe it would be a good ending for you to sleep like this..."
Liu Nian took out the apple he had just picked up, placed it in front of Mr. Huang and shook it slightly, causing Mr. Huang to look almost lost in thought: "Mr. Huang, everything in your body has been robbed, but you only kept it. Such a thing!
This apple, which you have kept for so long without eating it, must be a gift you are planning to give to someone important! "
Mr. Huang's eyes stopped on the apple, with a smile on his pale face. He nodded and said softly: "This... I prepared this for Si'er. She is very naughty... doesn't like vegetables... Hey! "
As if recalling something, Mr. Huang smiled heartily at the apple.
"Mr. Huang, I suddenly remembered that you and I don't know each other's real names yet?"
Liu Nian smiled and said: "Let me introduce myself first, Liu Nian! It's your turn, Mr. Huang... take this as your last words."
"My name...Master, I have to think about it. No one has called me that for a long time. I...I have to think about it. I have to think about it..."
Mr. Huang's eyes were still on the apple. The constant flow of blood made his body become cold and his consciousness was a little blurry. He seemed to have forgotten to talk to others.
At this moment, a wisp of obsession floated out from Mr. Huang, and Liu Nian immediately took it into his hand.
Obsession will only come out when one's life is hanging by a thread, or after the obsession is seen through. Now that the obsession has left Mr. Huang's body, this means...
Suddenly, Mr. Huang's body shook and he said, "I remember, my name is Wu Xiaoxiu!"
Liu Nian raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by the name.
Wu Xiaoxiu? This name is indeed a bit...little showy.
No, the point is wrong!
"Master Huang, your surname is not Huang?" Liu Nian smiled lightly: "Could it be that you actually are?"
"Yes, I am a son-in-law..."
Mr. Huang's eyes were still on the apple. After an unknown amount of time, the constant breathing in his ears seemed to have disappeared, and the surrounding area became extremely quiet.
In a daze, two different voices sounded in Mr. Huang's ears, one was childish and naughty, the other was delicate and powerful.
"Dad, come and judge me. I only want to eat meat, but my mother insists on forcing me to eat vegetables. She also said that if I don't eat, I will beat you to death! It's true, my mother said that I will beat you to death!"
"Damn it, what are you looking at me for? It's not just because of your habit that our daughter is so disobedient! If I don't hit you, who will I hit?"
"Dad, your mother said that if you eat vegetables, you will become like her, and if you eat meat, you will become like you! So... is there anything that is neither meat nor vegetables?"
"Damn it, my daughter thinks I'm ugly, you're used to it! Why are you still standing there, why don't you kneel down and comfort me..."
"Dad, Mom, you two will also eat fruit from now on. Let's become beautiful together, okay?"
"Ah wu wu... Damn it, it's all your fault..."
“Dad, run quickly, I’ll tell you what you said about mother’s cooking being unpalatable!
Dad, why are you kneeling down? Mother is already here to kill you!
If you don't run, then I'll run away first! "
"Damn you, you've grown up in skills, and you actually dare to think that my cooking is unpalatable! Huh, from now on, you will cook, and we two will be responsible for eating!"
…
Suddenly, that age-old partner who was still weak at heart became a wounded and dying victim in the battle between immortals and demons.
"devil……"
The voice in her arms was dying, as if she would lose it in the next second, but to Mr. Huang, her voice was still so powerful, so... He could never tire of hearing it, but there was only one sentence she left behind.
"Take good care of Si'er, but don't forget to take care of yourself..."
In the winter of fifty years ago, that pink little face, the face that once loved to be coquettish with him, showed hatred towards himself as a father in the snow.
"Why! Why do you force him away? No matter what happens to him, he is still my husband. When will it be your turn to decide his value to me!"
There was grievance and disappointment in the daughter's voice. The grievance was the grievance brought upon her by her father, and the disappointment was her disappointment in her father!
"You don't know what life he experiences every day, so why do you think your educational methods are right!"
"I don't want to hear your explanation. I only know that it was your own initiative that left my unborn child without a father..."
"I will never go back to the Huang family again, because I don't want to see a father like you who only cares about profit. I would rather the person who disappears in the battle between immortals and demons is you..."
…
The daughter's words pierced the weakest point in the father's heart. Whenever he recalled these words, sadness would flow out of his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Si'er, it's all dad's fault, it's dad who's sorry for you, dad has always been so useless, no matter what time, it's always like this!
You just keep hating dad like this..."
A drop of blood overflowed from an unknown wound on the top of his head, across his forehead, over his eyebrows, and flowed into his eyes.
Mr. Huang closed his eyes and there was no movement.
