Liu Dechang froze on the spot, not knowing what to do.
He wanted to lift his feet and walk inside, but he was a little worried.
He didn't know what he was worried about, whether he was afraid that Xiaoling would wake up and ignore him, or that Xiaoling would not wake up, or that he was simply dreaming.
Xiaoling was the name Meng Yue gave herself after she came to Daning Country. Liu Dechang said that he liked her name because it had a spiritual energy to it, although her word "Ling" was not related to the spirit of spiritual energy.
While he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a heavy gasp from inside. He quickly forgot all his worries and walked towards the back room with long strides.
At this time, Xiaoling had opened her eyes slightly, and she was looking at the top of the bed in a daze.
She thought she was dead, and everything in front of her felt strange. But, shouldn't people turn into ghosts when they die? Shouldn't I go and report to the Lord of Hell? Why is she still lying in bed? Is it so easy to be a ghost?
While she was thinking about this, Liu Dechang came to her side with trembling hands. When he saw Xiaoling opening her eyes, he burst into tears and choked with sobs.
"Xiaoling, are you awake?"
His words made Xiaoling look for her voice fiercely. It was probably because she turned her head too sharply that she felt her head hurt a little.
She closed her eyes tightly and wanted to raise her hand to press her head. As soon as she raised her hand, it was tightly grasped by a pair of big hands. Liu Dechang said eagerly:
"Xiaoling, it's me, I'm Dechang, Liu Dechang, why are you ignoring me? Don't you recognize me?"
He was suddenly worried. Could Xiaoling have damaged her brain due to poisoning and not recognize him? Otherwise, why would she be so indifferent when facing herself?
Xiaoling turned her head to look at the man in front of her in astonishment. When she saw his face clearly, her eyes suddenly turned red.
"Dechang, you...why are you dead too?"
Her question made Liu Dechang, who was already a little sad, suddenly burst into tears of joy.
He held her hand, bit his lip, and shook his head vigorously,
"Xiaoling, if you still remember me, that's good, that's good. Don't worry, I will be with you no matter life or death. I will always be with you."
She looked at Liu Dechang, sobbing with tears streaming down her face,
"I'm sorry for you. I left you alone for so many years, and now I want to take you away after death. How can I feel at ease? Why are you so stupid? Why do you want to follow me? Why do you want to let our The daughter lost her parents overnight. Xina has longed for a father since she was a child, but now you make her lose her father just after she found him. What do you want her to do?"
Listening to Xiaoling's unfounded words, Liu Dechang realized that she probably thought she was dead and he was dead too.
Liu Dechang looked at her dumbfounded. He raised his hand to touch her face and wipe away the tears from her eyes, but he inexplicably withdrew his hand.
Although Xiaoling in front of him still looked like he had many years ago, he was suddenly afraid that she would dislike his rough hands and this face that was very different from hers.
He, a battle-hardened general and the protector of the Daning Kingdom, became a little at a loss at this time and became very cowardly.
Xiaoling perhaps realized the subtle change in his expression, and sighed helplessly.
"That's all, the matter has come to an end. It's useless to talk any more. We haven't seen each other for many years. I never thought that we would have the chance to meet in the underworld."
Seeing her desperate and helpless look, Liu Dechang slapped his thigh heavily and said with a blushing smile:
"Xiaoling, no, no, you are not dead, and I am not dead either. We are still alive."
His words made Xiaoling stunned for a moment. She frowned and looked at him, wondering and asking carefully,
"You said we are not dead?"
As soon as she asked this question, she began to shake her head vigorously again, "It's impossible, it's impossible. In this world, there are almost no people who can survive after taking arsenic. Don't make me happy. Since I have chosen this path, there is no way I can do it." I have no regrets, I just suffered for those two children, as a mother, I feel sorry for them, alas!"
Seeing that she didn't believe what he said, Liu Dechang turned around in a circle anxiously and shouted towards the door with all his strength:
"Somebody come!"
Luo Lan and Xina, who were outside, heard the shouting, looked at each other in confusion, and quickly pushed the door open and entered.
According to their expectations, father and mother should hold each other's hands and cry at this time, and then talk to each other about their heartfelt feelings!
But what they saw was: the father was rubbing his feet at a loss, and the mother had tears on her face and looked sad.
Luo Lan, who didn't know why, was the first to ask:
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing her voice, Xiaoling turned her head towards her with difficulty. When she saw Luo Lan and Xina standing together, she burst into tears of surprise.
"Mom, why are you crying?"
Xina quickly came to the bedside and asked with concern:
"What happened to you?"
Xiaoling looked at Xina, pursed her lips, and murmured with sobs:
"Nana, you guys? What's going on? Am I really not dead?"
Her words made Xina stunned for a moment, and Liu Dechang was busy explaining,
"Lan'er, please explain to your mother. She doesn't believe she is still alive. She thought I died with her. I...I don't know how to explain it."
Seeing Liu Dechang's helpless and bewildered look, Xina glanced at Luo Lan blankly. Then, they looked at each other and smiled, and then laughed uncontrollably.
Seeing this scene, Liu Dechang was even more impatient and kept waving his hands, glaring his eyes and yelling:
"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"
Luo Lan stopped laughing and came to Xiaoling's bed. Looking at Xiaoling with tears still in her eyes, she couldn't help but chuckle:
"Mom, you are not dead, and dad is not dead either. We are all alive. Now we are on our way to the capital. We will be home soon."
Xina was also there and explained:
"Yes, sister is right. We are all living well. Sister has superb medical skills and she saved you."
Listening to the words of the two sisters, Xiaoling was suddenly stunned for a moment. Then, she raised her hands to cover her face and started crying.
Hearing her cry, Liu Dechang became even more angry. He stepped forward and shouted displeased:
"I want you to explain to your mother, why did you make her cry? Just go away, you don't need to explain, just go away."
This scene made Luo Lan and Xina look at each other speechlessly, and then they shrugged their shoulders and left with curled lips.
As she walked, Xina didn't forget to look back and muttered,
"We didn't say anything. Why is mom crying? Why do I feel that mom's brain doesn't work well after she wakes up this time?"
Speaking of this, she suddenly pulled Luo Lan and asked in panic:
"Sister, is it possible that my mother was too poisoned and her brain is damaged?"
