Before I could figure out what he meant, my head felt dizzy and I couldn't steady my body at all.
After shaking a few times, he finally fell into Liu Yiran's arms.
Then he lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I found myself still lying on the bed.
It was already dark outside the window.
He casually touched the birthmark on his collarbone. It felt cool, the same as before.
He stroked Bai Zimo's snake head and whispered: "I know you will wake up. As long as you are well, it doesn't matter if you are a freak. As long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything!"
It's a pity that Bai Zimo's magnetic voice never came again.
Everything seems to be back to the starting point.
But at this time, my adoptive father pushed the door open and came in with food in his hand, and said to me: "Didn't you say you were hungry just now? Come and eat!"
Looking at my adoptive father who cared so much about me, my heart ached. Just now, my mind was full of Bai Zimo, and I actually ignored the existence of my adoptive father.
Could it be that in my heart, Bai Zimo is more important than my adoptive father?
No, they are equally important to me.
Therefore, there are some things that I want to have a good chat with my adoptive father.
I forced myself to sit up, took the food and put it on the table nearby. I lowered my head and whispered to my adoptive father: "Dad, there is something I want to tell you!"
My adoptive father seemed to know what I was going to say, so he brought the food over and handed it to me: "If anything happens, wait until after the meal. Don't go hungry!"
I bit my lip, took a few bites of the rice, and said softly: "Dad, the food you cook is so delicious!"
"If it's delicious, eat more. I'm going to Jiangcheng tomorrow. There will be fewer days to go home to eat!"
My adoptive father moved a stool, sat in front of me and looked at me quietly.
I know that my adoptive father is the person who cares about me the most in the world, and Bai Zimo cannot be allowed to become the barrier between us.
So I quickly ate the food in a few bites, calmed down, looked directly into my adoptive father's eyes and said cautiously: "Bai Zimo is back."
My adoptive father once said before that Bai Zimo and I are not from the same world and have left me.
I don't know how he would react when he heard that Bai Zimo was still there.
The adoptive father was just stunned for a moment, and then he said to me with his eyebrows raised: "Come back as soon as you come back. Dad doesn't ask for anything, I just want you to be safe and happy. If Bai Zimo is good to you, Dad will also recognize his existence, but if he dares If I hurt you, dad will do his best to protect you!"
In an instant, my tears fell down.
My adoptive father was able to accept the snake monster he had previously called me for my sake. His support for me has always been unconditional. Such fatherly love made me burst into tears instantly.
When he saw me crying, he leaned over and wiped the corners of my eyes with his hand, his eyes full of love: "Fool, dad believes in your choice!"
I nodded with tears in my eyes: "Bai Zimo was seriously injured and turned into a birthmark on my body. When he recovers, I will definitely let you see him!"
The adoptive father looked a little heavy and said slowly: "Whether he can survive this disaster safely depends on God's will!"
I suddenly felt that my adoptive father actually knew something, and I opened my mouth to ask, but I didn't dare to ask.
I'm afraid of hearing things I don't want to hear.
I suspect that the reason why Bai Zimo returned to his original form and was sealed under the ancestral hall has something to do with his adoptive father.
After all, Bai Zimo disappeared after going to the backyard with his adoptive father.
I lowered my head and looked at my collarbone. Bai Zimo's snake head was taking a nap there with his eyes closed.
In the end, I didn't say anything, but my adoptive father rambled on about many things I should pay attention to when going out, and told me to be careful alone.
It wasn't until I started to yawn that he stopped and said something very meaningful: "Sometimes you think you have found someone who can protect you from wind and rain, but it happens that he brings all the wind and rain in your life! It's all destiny, dad can't help you! You have to walk your own path in the future!"
After the adoptive father finished speaking, he put away the dishes and went out.
I sat on the bed and carefully thought about what my adoptive father had just said, but my heart was like a mess.
Many things have no starting point, no end point, and no focus.
Do I really want to leave Yunjia Village with a lot of questions?
I lay in bed tossing and turning.
Unknowingly, my consciousness became increasingly blurry, and vaguely, I seemed to hear someone my adoptive father was talking to.
I wanted to get up to see what was going on, but I couldn't move at all. It felt like all my strength had been drained out of me, and I felt like I was being pressed against the bed.
An old voice came from outside: "Yun Yan, are you really not going to tell her these things?"
After a moment of silence, the adoptive father's voice came: "Alian is like my biological daughter. All I care about in this life is her feelings. No one can take advantage of her!"
"This is not called taking advantage. You should understand that Bai Zimo's waking up was not an accident. Although he has returned to the seal now, if he wakes up again, he will definitely come back for revenge, and A Lian will also be implicated!"
I don’t know who this old voice is, and what he wants to use me to do to Bai Zimo.
I braced myself and continued listening.
Then the adoptive father sneered: "If Bai Zimo really dares to hurt Alian, I will definitely not let him go!"
"You are just a country doctor, how can you fight against Bai Zimo? You have heard of what he did thousands of years ago, right? Also, why did he wake up on Alian's body? Don't you think there is something wrong with him? what is the problem?"
I heard what the old voice meant. They should have some knowledge of Bai Zimo's past, but they just didn't know who he was. What did he want to do with his adoptive father?
There are more and more mysteries. Ever since Bai Zimo woke up, everything that happened around me was closely related to him, but I fell in love with this troubled snake.
But according to what they said, when Bai Zimo returned to my body this time, he returned to the seal.
Could it be that my body is what seals Bai Zimo?
Then wouldn't I be harming him by letting him come back to me?
Doesn't Liu Yiran know about this? Why didn't he remind me?
After thinking about it, I couldn't come up with a result. At this time, my adoptive father solemnly said: "I have my own plan for this matter, so you don't have to worry about it. I will handle it myself!"
Then the old voice snorted coldly: "Don't be ignorant, there are some things that you can't handle alone!"
Then there was silence. It must be that the person had left.
And my ears seemed to hear Yun'er's voice again: "Master, wake up, wake up quickly! The box is gone!"
I thought about it for a while before I remembered the box. But I was in a hurry to find Bai Zimo and didn't go to get it. Why did it suddenly disappear?
I suddenly became anxious, and then my body shook and I woke up.
The early morning sunlight shines through the windows into the room, making it quiet and peaceful.
The sound of chirping birds could be heard outside the house, just like a normal morning.
I opened my arms and stretched, but there was a touch of warmth on my wrist. Only then did I realize that the peach core pendant Aya had given me was actually on my wrist again.
I remember that when I saw that black figure in the yard, I smashed the peach core in my desperation. Then a series of things happened. I had forgotten the peach core a long time ago, so why am I still wearing it on my hand? superior?
My memory started to get messy and I really couldn’t think about it carefully.
He couldn't help but shook his head, touched the peach stone pendant and said to himself: "What is supposed to come will always come, Aya, you must be paying attention to everything here somewhere, right?"
I got up and opened the window. My adoptive father was still clucking and feeding the chickens in the yard as before, as if nothing had happened.
But I know that he is different.
I am different too.
I don’t know who my adoptive father was talking to last night, but I know he was protecting me.
I am leaving him today, so I don’t want to disturb his peace with these annoying things.
So, I walked out gently, looked at my adoptive father's back and said, "Dad, do you think Jiangcheng is big? Will I get lost if I go to school there?"
My adoptive father heard my voice and poured the chicken food in his hand into the chicken pen.
Then he patted the dust on his hands, turned around and smiled at me: "Dad has never been out of this mountain in his life. I really don't know how big it is outside, but Wang Lexin will accompany you, so dad can rest assured!"
It really makes me wonder why my adoptive father is so relieved about Wang Lexin now. I even feel that he always mentions this person intentionally or unintentionally. I feel speechless just thinking about it.
Although I don't have any special dislike for Wang Lexin, I can't say I have a good impression of him. Why does my adoptive father never leave Wang Lexin?
"Dad, have you been bribed by Wang Lexin? Why is he everywhere? Yesterday, he said he would pick me up to go to school. Why is he accompanying me to Jiangcheng now?"
The adoptive father grinned: "Alian, Wang Lexin said that he also got admitted to a university in Jiangcheng. Although it is not a medical school, it is quite close to it, so you two stopped by and listened to what he said. Li Yuetong went to the same school as you. You three are in company!”
I'm a little confused. Didn't Li Yuetong's parents ask her to take the normal college entrance examination? Why did she also go to Jiangcheng Medical College? Her score seems to be a few points behind. What's going on?
I didn't say anything more and nodded lightly: "Well, I'll contact them after dinner to see which bus to take to Jiangcheng!"
"Breakfast is ready, go in and eat!" the adoptive father said, turned around and entered the back room.
Three dishes and one soup were laid out on the kitchen table. It seemed that my adoptive father got up early today. I was thinking that I would be leaving soon and would cook him a meal, but I didn't expect that I would always be late for him.
I was a bit dumbfounded and didn't know what to say. My adoptive father was so kind to me and I had nothing to say.
If I was falling in love with a normal person now, perhaps what we, father and daughter, would be talking about when we were sitting together now would be the mundane matters of marriage in the future.
But what I fell in love with was a snake.
This was the last meal before departure. I ate the food silently, not knowing how to taste it.
My adoptive father gave me a chicken leg, smiled at me, and didn't say anything.
The daughter he has raised for eighteen years is about to go away. I think he is also feeling uncomfortable, but he just suppresses it and doesn't show it.
I had a lump in my throat, and I was afraid that losing control of my emotions would make my adoptive father even more miserable, so I chewed on the chicken drumsticks, saying it was delicious, it was really delicious.
In fact, there is a bitter taste in my mouth.
Maybe it was because I had finished everything I needed to explain last night, but my adoptive father didn't say a word until I took the last bite of rice.
Finally, I broke the silence: "Dad, take care of yourself at home, and be more careful when collecting herbs in the mountains. Don't fall!"
I saw my adoptive father's eyes starting to turn red, and the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, but he still smiled so kindly: "You don't have to worry about me, just study hard. Dad will be there for everything else!"
My tears suddenly burst into tears, and my voice was choked with sobs: "Dad, I know you want me to stay away from Bai Zimo and live a normal life, but I can't do it! I really can't!"
But my adoptive father turned his head and didn't dare to look at me. He just asked in a low voice: "What will you do if he never wakes up?"
