Chapter 355: Going Home and Saying Goodbye Simply
After staying in Kangzhou City for three days, I hurriedly said goodbye to my master and the others and went home. Brother Xiao and the others originally wanted to keep me for a few more days, but I declined.
The day I left was February 7th, which was also my 18th birthday.
Because it was the Spring Festival, I still had to squeeze in a lot of traffic to take the train. So I chose to let Bai Qi take me back. The master’s family had a private helicopter, and Bai Qi was the only one with a driving license.
So it would be safest for him to send me back.
Sitting on the plane, I always had a gloomy face. Bai Qi looked at me and started talking to me, asking me if I was worried about something.
I smiled bitterly and shook my head. I still don’t want the brothers inside the door to know about the curse.
It didn't take long for us to arrive at a place on the outskirts of Sanmen City. If the helicopter entered the city rashly, it would cause a commotion. So we found a place to stop in the outskirts.
After saying hello to Bai Qi, I got off the plane along the ladder.
I randomly dialed a taxi driver's number stored in my phone, and after watching Bai Qi leave, I followed the route on the map and started walking towards the nearby highway.
I walked very quickly, and after standing at the intersection for a long time, the taxi came.
I dragged my suitcase into the car and told the driver my destination. I then began to squint my eyes and try to relax as much as possible.
I promised Murong Zhen that I would leave with him on his birthday and go to the demon world.
Now, the appointed day has arrived. But I don’t want to leave, and my heart is full of uneasiness.
Who can guarantee that I can come back? Although Murong Zhen said it in front of me so easily and in a flash, the uneasiness from the bottom of my heart made me resist the idea of 'going to the demon world'.
The car parked at the door of the house, and after paying the fare, the taxi left.
I dragged my luggage back home, and it happened to be lunch time. I thought I would see my mother busy in the kitchen, but I didn't expect that there was no one in the house.
I shrugged my shoulders and walked back to my bedroom.
"Hey, where are you?" I dialed Lingdang's cell phone. Lingdang replied inarticulately on the other end: "Nian Qing is out of order when he asks to come out."
"Oh, why didn't you go out to the stall today? Are your parents there?" I whispered.
"Yes, yes." Lingdang seemed to have swallowed what was in his mouth, and finally began to speak clearly.
"I"
"What's wrong with daddy?" Zhongdang faced my desire to speak but stopped questioning. "Are you back?"
I quickly covered it up and said: "No, you are overthinking. Hehe. It's hard to come here once. I will definitely have to play for a while. Then you go home early."
"I know, the food is served, the food is served, hang up first, daddy." Lingdang suddenly said over there very excitedly.
After saying this, Zing Ding hurriedly hung up the phone. I stared at the beeping phone screen and smiled bitterly and shook my head.
Then he clicked on the message and sent a text message to Lingdang: "By the way, help me tell my parents. I may have to play for a while before I can go back. Hehe, take care of yourselves."
After clicking the send button, I looked at the text message in a daze.
Suddenly, the text message refreshed, and a reply popped up: "I know, dad is so nagging."
After saying two simple words of farewell, I turned off the screen and put the phone into my pocket.
After lying on the bed and feeling nostalgic for a while, I quickly grabbed my suitcase and went out again, heading straight to Murong Zhen's small yard.
Walking along the familiar route, I saw the dilapidated small courtyard from a distance. The courtyard still had the same scene, with a tall bamboo pole stuck in it.
The little black dog was originally lying on the ground with his head hanging down, but when he saw me coming, he immediately ran over like Dahuang, wagging his tail very excitedly.
The little black dog jumped up and pressed its whole body against my body in a straight line.
"Haha, don't lick, don't lick." I kept scratching the little black dog's hair and playing with it.
"Here you come?" Murong Zhen heard the noise and came out. When he saw the little black dog treating me like this, he immediately scolded it.
Murong Zhen looked at the suitcase I brought over and said nothing. Instead, he turned around and went into the house. He came out after a long while.
When Murong Zhen came out this time, he finally took off the tattered clothes that he had not changed for a hundred years. He put on an older style jacket and black suit pants.
"It's not too late, let's leave now. If it's past twelve o'clock tonight, I'm sure something will happen." Murong Zhen said bluntly, walking straight towards the door.
I followed him out, leaving the little black dog alone to guard the yard.
But a few days later, I stood at the ticket office door of the train station again.
"Master Murong, where are we going?" I looked at Murong Zhen in front of me in confusion. He still maintained the same faint smile that has remained unchanged for a century, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"Go to the west entrance of the Yellow River in Xie Lin." Murong Zhen turned around and glanced at my reaction.
I looked at him, the corners of my eyes twitching. "To put it bluntly, I just want to go to the Yellow River." Murong Zhen nodded.
I looked at him in confusion, wanting him to explain it to me, but after nodding, he ignored me.
Taking the two tickets in my hand, I could only follow Murong Zhen to the waiting room and wait.
The train was as slow as ever, and we waited for a long time before we got on the train. After several twists and turns, Murong Zhen and I stepped out of the train station in Shelin City.
After we stopped a taxi and reported the location of the west entrance of the Yellow River, the driver cast us a few doubtful glances, but still drove us there.
I'm afraid in the eyes of this driver, Murong Zhen and I are just like fools. What can we do by the Yellow River in this winter?
The driver dropped us both on the edge of the Yellow River. As soon as he dragged the suitcase out of the car, I shivered from top to bottom.
Standing by a river, especially by the Yellow River, in this winter is really unbearable.
The cold wind blew from the frozen river and hit my face. I turned away from the cold and breathed into my ungloved palms.
After staying here for only a few seconds, I felt that my palms were about to freeze off.
"What are you standing for? Follow me down quickly." While I was breathing away with my back turned, Murong Zhen had already walked out a long way.
I quickly followed him and stopped at the edge of the Yellow River.
Looking at the frozen Yellow River water in front of me, my playfulness got into my head. I wanted to step on it for no reason.
But the moment I touched my toes, the ice on the river suddenly melted. Then somewhere on my back felt a sudden heat, and the person behind me gave me a hard push.
