"Not just me, everyone came here."
Li Wenxuan looked at me and said solemnly.
He still looks wise and mature, even though the childishness on his face has not faded, but the depth in his eyes can make people feel that he has wisdom and experience that is completely beyond his age.
"Everyone is here? What do you mean?"
As soon as I heard this, I immediately had a bad feeling.
If everything goes well, Chen Ling and the others will definitely not leave Penglai Island and come here for no reason.
Now that they are here, it means something has happened on Penglai Island.
"It was the Eye of Destruction of Heaven, and Penglai Immortal Island bore the brunt, so we had to leave there and fled all the way to the edge of the world."
Li Wenxuan said and looked up at the crack in the sky.
At this time, the crack in the sky was getting bigger and bigger, and it looked like an endless eye, which had been opened slightly.
"What about the others? Did anything happen to anyone?"
Hearing this, I quickly asked Li Wenxuan.
"The others are fine and are in this city now, but...I have to tell you some bad news."
Li Wenxuan said with some hesitation.
"what news?"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but frown.
"You'd better come with me!"
Li Wenxuan said and turned around and walked towards the other side of the square.
At this time, I naturally realized that the situation was not good, so I quickly followed him.
As for the others, they were too smart to follow up to ask about the situation, and just waited where they were.
Not long after, Li Wenxuan took me to a hospital in the city center.
When I saw it was a hospital, I felt even more unsure.
It stands to reason that everyone is a cultivator. Even if someone is injured in this world-destroying catastrophe, they should not come to the hospital.
Unless the injured are ordinary people, such as my father, my mother, and Gu Xiaorou and her daughter.
"What happened?"
Thinking of this, I couldn't bear it anymore and quickly asked Li Wenxuan again.
"How should I put it? Grandma passed away."
Li Wenxuan spread his hands as he spoke.
"What?"
As soon as I heard this, my eyes widened.
Isn’t the grandma he was talking about my mother?
It must be my mother, otherwise who would he call grandma?
"It's just upstairs. Go up and see for yourself."
Li Wenxuan said and glanced at the stairs beside him.
I rushed forward with a single stride.
When I came to the corridor on the second floor, I found Chen Ling and Gu Xiaorou standing in the corridor, as well as Mo Yan and the others. A large number of people almost surrounded the entire corridor.
"What happened to my mother?"
I rushed up and asked.
Everyone else looked at me sadly, even a little deliberately avoiding my gaze.
"Mom passed away."
After a few seconds of silence, Chen Lingcai said to me with red eyes.
When I heard this, I felt like I was struck by lightning. I quickly passed through everyone and rushed directly into the ward.
On the pale hospital bed, my mother was lying there peacefully. Her face was also very pale, but looking at it, she felt as if she was asleep.
My father sat blankly on the edge of the hospital bed. It wasn't until he saw me coming in that a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"Don't be too sad. Your mother passed away peacefully. I was by her side at the time."
My father comforted me first.
"What's going on?"
I looked at my father in disbelief.
Although when it comes to birth, old age, illness and death, I have already seen it clearly, and I know that this day will come sooner or later, but this situation is really too sudden for me.
"Your mother was not in good health. As you know, she was frightened during the escape, and her condition suddenly worsened. All of this happened very suddenly."
My father said with a slight sigh.
This was not just sudden, it was simply caught off guard, okay?
I stood there stunned for a while before I finally came to my senses.
But for a while, I couldn't accept the fact that my mother had passed away.
Maybe that was a fluke. I always felt that she just fell asleep and would wake up soon.
But when I stepped forward to hold my mother's hand, the illusion in my heart was suddenly shattered.
Her hands had no warmth, they were as cold as corpses.
At that moment, I felt inexplicably sad and depressed, and had the urge to cry, but I suppressed this emotion in the end.
I didn't cry, or even shed tears. Instead, I felt a sense of hatred, or cruelty, in my heart.
Is God's will playing tricks on people? Damn it, God finally gave me a heavy blow at this critical moment.
Sure enough, people have weaknesses, and feelings are people's biggest weakness.
Naturally, Heaven is well versed in human nature, so it deliberately hit my weak spot at this time. Although it won't kill me, it can still cause me pain.
"That's it. In fact, it doesn't matter if we leave, we are all going to die after all."
My father said and patted my shoulder, then he lit a cigarette and walked to the window to smoke silently.
Now no one cares about his smoking anymore.
I also lit a cigarette and walked out of the ward.
Everyone in the corridor was looking at me with cautious eyes, Chen Ling, Gu Xiaorou, Li Jingyu, Su Manman, Mo Yan...and so on.
Everyone looked at me with eyes that couldn't tell whether they were sympathetic or cautious, fearing that I would suddenly lose control of my emotions or go completely berserk.
But I don't have either.
"Don't look at me like that. People will always die. I believe that when the next new century comes, we will always reverse this situation. Although my mother can't see it, I think she will definitely be able to do it in another way. A unique perspective to see it all.”
I said and smiled pretending to be relaxed.
Chen Ling was the first to throw herself into my arms, and then Gu Xiaorou and Su Manman hugged me as well, and the three girls began to sob softly.
Li Jingyu stood on the side and looked at me in a complicated way that only she and I could understand.
"Brother Li, I'm sorry, I told you to protect your family."
Mo Yan also stepped forward and looked at me apologetically.
"Okay, for ordinary people, birth, old age, illness and death are normal, so don't blame yourself."
I said and patted Mo Yan on the shoulder.
The next step was to hold a funeral for my mother so that she could leave this world with dignity.
Although it is said that death is like a light going out, I still held an extremely grand funeral, just as if it was for the living people to see. At least the living people can feel a little more at ease.
Life and death suddenly seemed like a dream.
After the funeral, we stayed in the city for a few more days.
I've been drunk almost every day these days, and I'm not trying to buy my drunkenness by drinking. I just want to use this method to temporarily relieve the depression deep in my heart.
The world is still dark, but the dazzling red light in the sky has torn apart the dark sky.
Unfortunately, after the darkness was broken, what people ushered in was not the dawn of hope, but complete destruction.
