Chapter 301 The Sun Sets
Late at night, Huanlu stayed in Senior Xiaoqing's room, looking at Senior Xiaoqing sleeping on the bed with some worry.
As the days passed, Senior Xiaoqing's condition became worse and worse.
He didn't know the other person before, but Senior Xiaoqing gave him a very familiar feeling, as if he had met him a long time ago and was a familiar person, but he didn't have any memory of the other person at all.
The 35th day since I met Senior Xiaoqing
The weather was very good that day, and Senior Xiaoqing's condition was getting worse and worse. Huanlu stayed with Senior Xiaoqing for a while as usual. When she fell asleep, he went to the courtyard to practice the method of controlling fire. After practicing, Huanlu would squat on the steps and read a thick little book.
This little book was written for him by Senior Xiaoqing. It contained a lot of cultivation experience. Although it did not contain any methods of controlling fire, he learned a lot from it.
Day 36 of Getting to Know Senior Xiaoqing
On this day, Huanlu opened his eyes at dawn. The whole courtyard gave people a feeling of deathly silence. He opened the window. The morning star in the sky was still emitting a faint light. A new sun had already poked its head out. But at this moment, looking at the rising sun, Huanlu felt an indescribable loneliness.
Huanlu took a step forward and carefully pushed open Senior Xiaoqing's door. The room was silent, and the old man's breathing seemed...
I suddenly felt a terrible, indescribable feeling in my heart.
"You came."
The old woman opened her cloudy eyes and looked at the young man who walked in front of her with gentle eyes.
Hearing the old man suddenly speak, I felt inexplicably happy. Fortunately, he hasn't... left yet.
However, this touch of happiness only lasted for a short while in the young man's heart before being replaced by more loss, because he deeply understood that Senior Xiaoqing probably could not spend much more time with him.
……
The thirty-seventh day since I met Senior Xiaoqing.
Today, when he was carrying Senior Xiaoqing around, he met a couple cuddling each other, and Senior Xiaoqing asked him to stop and take a look.
When he turned his head, he could see Senior Xiaoqing looking gently into the couple's eyes.
"I hope that one day you can find a girl who loves you and be as loving as they are."
Huanlu didn't say anything, but was still daydreaming in his heart. He couldn't help but ask Senior Xiaoqing: "Have you ever had someone you liked?"
"Yes."
The old man smiled and said, "But he's already dead. I watched him grow old little by little, lose his vitality little by little, and finally, I buried him with my own hands..."
Huanlu listened and had a very familiar feeling. At this moment, he seemed to be watching his lover lose his life bit by bit, just like Senior Xiaoqing. Perhaps, in the end, he would also bury Senior Xiaoqing with his own hands.
At this moment, my heart seemed to be twisted by something.
……
The 38th day of meeting Senior Xiaoqing
The weather was not very good that day, so he did not carry Senior Xiaoqing around. Instead, he stayed with her in the house until late at night.
The night fell quietly, and the swaying lights in the house illuminated the old and the young in the house. After so many days of getting along, they had said a lot of things. Gradually, they both became silent and gradually got used to each other's silence.
The old man lay on the bed, his eyes looking gently at the young man sitting on the chair next to him.
…………
The thirty-ninth day since I met Senior Xiaoqing.
On this day, the peach blossoms in the yard were in full bloom. Huanlu got up early, picked a bunch of the most beautiful peach blossoms in the yard, and gently placed them in front of Senior Xiaoqing's bed.
After Huanlu left, the old man slowly opened his eyes and looked at the peach blossoms on the bedside, lost in thought.
…………
The fortieth day of knowing Senior Xiaoqing
On this day, Senior Xiaoqing slept all day, and Huanlu hurriedly asked Miss Xiaotan to come and take a look.
Cui Yu Xiaotan took a look, just lowered her head, and silently took out a few bottles of medicine from the medicine box and asked him to give them to Senior Xiaoqing in the next few days.
He nodded in agreement.
After Miss Xiao Tan left, he stayed by Senior Xiao Qing's side, looking at her aged face and her no longer beautiful eyebrows and eyes. The sense of familiarity in his heart became stronger and stronger.
…………
The forty-first day since I met Senior Xiaoqing.
That night, Senior Xiaoqing was still asleep. He stood alone in front of Senior Xiaoqing's bed, looking at Senior Xiaoqing with her eyes closed. He felt so sad that he almost couldn't breathe.
He walked to the window silently and looked at the bright moon in the sky. The starry sky looked beautiful tonight, but he was not happy at all.
He suddenly asked himself why he cared so much about an old woman whom he had never cared about before, and why he felt an unspeakable sadness in his heart as he watched her life gradually come to an end.
"Why haven't you rested yet?"
A soft voice came from behind, which shocked Huanlu. However, he did not turn around immediately. Instead, he said bitterly: "I can't sleep."
"Then you can accompany me and talk."
The old man spoke softly.
"it is good."
Huanlu turned around and walked to the old man.
"Can you hold my hand?"
The old man whispered.
Huanlu grabbed the old woman's hand. He could feel that her hand was very cold, so he held her hand up and blew on it with his mouth, hoping to warm it up.
The old man smiled, chatted with the boy for a few words, and then fell into a deep sleep again.
Huanlu was still talking in a low voice when he suddenly felt that the old man had stopped moving. He put his hand on the old man's nose in fear and felt that he was still breathing, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
That night, he held the old woman's hand and stayed with her all night.
…………
Day 42 of meeting Senior Xiaoqing
On this day, he woke up lying beside Senior Xiaoqing's bed. The first thing he found when he opened his eyes was that Senior Xiaoqing was already awake. Her cloudy eyes seemed to be trying hard to look at him quietly despite her sleepiness. Senior Xiaoqing's eyes were filled with deep sadness. Perhaps she noticed that he was awake and looked away.
It seemed as if she didn't want him to see her sadness.
…………
The forty-third day since I met Senior Xiaoqing.
Senior Xiaoqing was in much better condition that day. He prepared a very nutritious meal for her. Senior Xiaoqing ate a few more bites, which was rare for her. This made him very happy.
…………
The forty-fourth day since I met Senior Xiaoqing.
The weather was surprisingly good today, and Senior Xiaoqing asked him to hold her and go out to bask in the sun, so he held Senior Xiaoqing and went to lie down on the rocking chair in the yard.
The sun is very warm today. Senior Xiaoqing is surprisingly talkative and in surprisingly good spirits.
He was a little worried, but he still stayed with Senior Xiaoqing for a long time.
Until the sun set, he wanted to carry Senior Xiaoqing back, but Senior Xiaoqing shook his head and refused.
"Let me watch the sunset one more time."
The old man spoke softly.
The young man did not refuse and just stayed with the old man, watching the sun set little by little.
"The sun has set."
The old man whispered.
"It will rise again tomorrow."
Huanlu's voice was a little hoarse, filled with anticipation.
"Tomorrow's sun will be even warmer."
The green snake looked at Huanlu and stretched out his old hand. Huanlu also stretched out his hand to shake hands with the old man, but found that his palm was cold.
He couldn't help but lower his head, only to find that there was a half-broken jade pendant in the palm of his hand, with a warm light flowing on the jade pendant.
Looking at the jade pendant, he was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but touch his chest. On his chest, there was also a broken jade pendant hanging.
He put the two jade pendants together, but found that the two broken pieces of jade pendants together became a complete jade pendant.
As the jade pendants were put together, a rosy glow rose at this moment, and a warm light emanated from the jade pendants and fell on his body. The myriad of brilliance turned into a warm current that flowed into his limbs and bones.
In an instant, his muscles and marrow were strengthened, and his strength increased at a terrifying speed.
He looked at this scene in surprise. The improved strength shocked and excited him. He couldn't help but look at Senior Xiaoqing, wanting to ask the reason.
But he found that Senior Xiaoqing had already fallen asleep, and it seemed that he was no different from the previous sleep.
The shock and excitement in his heart disappeared in an instant. He felt inexplicably frightened and his body seemed to have no strength left. He knelt down beside Senior Xiaoqing. He stretched out his hand and grasped Senior Xiaoqing's limp hand in a daze.
The sun sets
It was completely dark.
The sun will rise as usual tomorrow.
But will Senior Xiaoqing wake up again tomorrow?
