I was carried too far by the river, so I had to walk back along the river.
My broken right leg was now numb. It had already begun to become inflamed. It had been contaminated by the river water and the sand and gravel on the shore. Now my right leg was completely swollen.
If I hadn't been worried about bleeding too much and dying early, I would have wanted to cut off this leg, this burden, with a knife.
Fortunately, my body was still able to resist, and I finally walked back in the right direction, but it was already getting dark.
I know there are ferocious beasts in this forest, but the Gu Ancestor is still in my Qiankun Bracelet, maybe it will protect me.
On the other hand, this Rakshasa, perhaps influenced by my mind, never spoke to me again.
I guess even he has given up on me.
After stumbling around in the woods for a few days, all the dry food he brought with him was gone, and his clothes turned into rags.
Unfortunately, the inflammation in my broken leg became more and more serious, and my high fever also waxed and waned, and I had entered a state of half-asleep and half-awake.
I even started to have hallucinations in front of my eyes. I saw my mother, my father, my grandfather and my grandmother.
They stood not far away and waved to me.
"Xiaotian... come here..." The smile on my mother's face was so kind and gentle.
"Here it comes..." I laughed, and I stumbled forward, just like a toddler.
Unfortunately, it was not my mother who greeted me, but a big tree, and my forehead hit the trunk heavily.
I was not unconscious, but was knocked awake.
The pain seemed to activate my nerves again. Even though I had given up trying to survive, my body still had instincts.
After just a few steps, my feet slipped and I rolled down the slope like a ball.
I wanted to stop, so I reached out to grab it, but I couldn't find anything except dirt and rocks.
My broken leg was also more seriously injured. As I rolled down, I was closely contacted by several raised stones several times.
I thought I was going to pass out, but I didn't, which made me laugh.
I didn't expect this body to be so strong, even stronger than my heart.
There is a creek below the downhill slope, and I am lying on the gravel at the edge of the creek.
Looking back at the slope, it was strange that the soil in this place was so good that no plants grew there.
But I was lucky. The soil on the slope was soft. I rolled down all the way, except for a few cuts on my body caused by the raised rocks.
Also, my broken leg seems to be more serious, but there are no other serious wounds.
It's a pity that my crutch was thrown away somewhere, maybe it's still on the slope.
I lay down directly in the stream, my empty stomach filled with stream water, and the stream water also washed away the dirt and scars on my body.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but I feel that the injuries on my body, even my broken leg, don’t seem to hurt that much anymore.
Moreover, the stream water kept washing on my face, and it seemed that my consciousness was much clearer, and the high fever seemed to have subsided a little.
While my mind was still clear, I quickly got up and picked up a piece of wood of suitable shape.
However, I no longer have the energy to process this wood. Now it is enough to temporarily replace my crutches and support me forward.
The effect of the stream supported me to walk a long way, but the unhandled crutches rubbed my armpits to pieces.
I can't walk anymore, it's not that I don't want to leave, it's that I really have exhausted my last bit of strength.
And the high fever seems to be back, even more serious.
My breathing started to hitch, everything I could see now began to shake, and I fell, burying my face in the dead leaves at my feet.
"Master, I'm sorry, I can only go so far..." I muttered silently in my heart, because this is my last regret.
The dead leaves under me were so soft, and I felt like I was back in the little bed at home in the village.
Everything around me is the same as it was at the beginning, but I have grown up. When this kind of dream appears, I don’t know if I am going to die, and I don’t care.
Because the relatives around me gathered around me asking questions, this feeling made me very happy and comfortable.
Following my father to the fields, our family actually planted a lot of watermelons.
"Eat, eat enough." My father looked at me lovingly.
"Dad, is it because Heizi and I always stole watermelons from others when we were kids, so you planted watermelons?" I smiled and raised my hand to wipe the sweat from my forehead.
"Silly boy, didn't you come back from college and say that this thing is easy to sell and let us grow it?" The father smiled from ear to ear.
"College? I'm in college?" I felt inexplicably happy.
Looking at the grandfather and grandmother sitting on the deck chair in front of the house, the two old people were fanning each other.
The mother came out of the house and delivered the cut fruits to the second elder.
This is the life I should have, this is what I should experience at my age.
"Don't be stunned, hurry up, the watermelon harvester is coming soon." My father's urging interrupted my thoughts.
"Okay." I believe, I choose to believe that everything in front of me is true.
This year's harvest was good. The watermelons in the field were sold for a lot of money. My mother happily held me in her arms.
My father took me to the city to buy delicious food.
My grandparents were old and their legs and feet were inconvenient, but they still stood up shakily and quietly stuffed me with money.
But I am obviously rich. My father gave me a lot of money from selling watermelons today, saying that it is all my credit.
Look into the eyes of grandparents, this is love.
My father bought a car. I sat in the passenger seat and looked out the window at the familiar road, but I seemed to remember something that should have happened here.
"Xiaotian, what are you thinking about?" The mother in the back seat raised her hand and patted me.
"Nothing, I remember there seemed to be a car accident here." I smiled awkwardly and pointed out the window.
"There's something wrong with this child today. There was a car accident. When you were a child, your grandfather took you to the city to buy cakes on his bicycle and you fell down here." The smile on the father's face was still loving.
"Oh, I remembered it wrong..." I looked away with a smile.
My mother and father were discussing the renovation of the old house at home. They didn't care that I was in the car and even put my marriage on the agenda.
"What marriage?" I was a little confused.
"You kid, what happened today? Cuihua from the next village, you have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. Didn't she also graduate from college? She was having dinner at our house two days ago. Didn't she announce your marriage in front of her parents? It’s decided.” Mother said and took out a photo from her arms.
I don't know the girl in the photo, but she has a nice smile, has two little fangs, and is very well-behaved. Although she is not a beautiful woman, she should be able to live a good life, right?
"Dad, isn't there a shop selling mahogany swords here?" I asked, pointing to the front of a shop in the town.
"You've read too many novels, there's no such thing as a mahogany sword here." My father smiled and patted me.
"Seobing, freshly baked sesame..." came a very familiar hawking voice.
"Uncle Bai? Aren't you dead?" I looked at the old man in front of me in surprise.
"You kid, the first time I saw you, you cursed me?" The old man was unhappy and even wanted to hit me.
"I'm sorry, my child is a little unusual today." The father hurriedly stepped forward to apologize.
"No, you are not my parents, this is not me..." My mind was in chaos, and various memories kept pouring in.
"Xiaotian, what are you talking about?" My mother stretched out her hand to hold me, but I turned and ran away.
A car suddenly appeared and I was about to collide with the car.
"Ah..." I exclaimed, waking up from my dream.
"Bad boy, are you awake?" A very familiar voice sounded in my ears.
