C234 Tranquilizing

"Remember, this isn't your world, nor is it hers. This is just one of her wishes, and after you find her, you must bring her back as soon as possible. As time passes, once this last bit of life force is gone, she will never be able to save you again." Lin Xi's voice came from the sky like a god.

Zheng Lei looked at the surrounding terrain and discovered that he was at the entrance to a valley. A winding path slowly flowed out of the valley, behind him was a vast expanse of white nothingness.

He remembered what Lin Xi had told him and walked on the path in a hurry.

Here, he was just a mortal, a very ordinary person without a shred of cultivation. He didn't even have the slightest connection to the half of the painting.

It had been a long time since Zheng Lei had felt this tired. Ever since he started cultivating, he hadn't exhausted much of his physical strength. Now that he had to use his mortal body to climb a mountain, he suddenly felt extremely tired.

He climbed up a mountain with great difficulty and gazed into the distance. There were at least a dozen other peaks. At the end of these peaks, there was a mountain that was not very clear and was emitting a faint glow.

"It's over there, why is it so far?" Zheng Lei said before continuing to walk along the path at the top of the mountain.

There were 10 golden dots of light in the sky. What Lin Xi said meant that these specks of light represented Hu Wan's last bit of life. Once those specks of golden light completely disappeared, she would never be able to come back.

At the moment, he was only a mortal. Along the way, Zheng Lei was eating and drinking, and by the time he arrived at the dim light of the mountain peak, he was already so skinny that he couldn't even look like a human anymore.

As for the golden specks of light in the sky, one of them had also disappeared.

Zheng Lei raised his head and looked at the towering mountain peak that pierced the clouds. He could vaguely see a cave halfway up the mountain.

"It should be there. Little Wan, wait for me. I will bring you back immediately." Zheng Lei said softly.

The moment he stepped onto the mountain, Zheng Lei had a feeling that there was someone waiting for him on the mountain.

He knew that this person was Hu Wan. As for why he felt this way, he didn't even know. But no matter what, as long as he could get her back to life, it was fine.

With every step, Zheng Lei felt that he was closer to hope.

Just as Zheng Lei was half-dead, he finally made it to the cave through the forest. The surroundings were completely silent. There was not a single person around, and only the occasional cry of a bird could be heard, adding to the quiet atmosphere of the place.

"Big brother, you're back?" Hu Wan's voice came from the cave.

At that moment, Zheng Lei had an illusion. This was his life. He wanted to live a peaceful life. He wanted to live a peaceful life. To live a life together with the person he loved until he grew old and had white hair.

Hu Wan came out of the cave dressed in simple clothes. She held a cloth in her hand and looked like she was doing housework.

"Brother, did you not get anything today?" "If this goes on, we will break the samovar!" She was not angry at all that Zheng Lei did not catch his prey.

Hunting? Did I go hunting? Zheng Lei thought to himself as he looked down. He did not know when, but he was carrying a bow and a quiver of arrows on his waist. Even his clothes were made of beast skin.

What was going on? How did I become like this? Zheng Lei's heart was filled with doubt.

"Brother, what's wrong with you today? Why did it seem like his mind was wandering around? "It took you two or three days to get out, but I was so worried that I thought something had happened to you." Hu Wan walked to Zheng Lei's side and helped him take off his bow and arrows as she spoke.

"Wan'er, I'm sorry." Zheng Lei said as he looked at Hu Xiaoling. His heart was filled with apology.

"Ah?" Why did he say sorry? Wasn't it because he missed his prey? "It's okay, there's no prey. We still have some fruits to eat, so we won't starve to death." Hu Wan took her bow and arrows and headed into the cave.

Zheng Lei did not move. The scene in front of him was too warm and cozy, so much so that he did not have the heart to reveal the truth.

He raised his head to look at the golden specks of light in the sky. The second speck had already disappeared.

"Big brother, come in quickly. I made some wild vegetable soup today!" I stewed it using the method you told me. It's really delicious, I secretly tasted it! " Hu Wan's voice came from the cave.

This little fox had secretly tasted it, why did he still say it out loud? However, the innocent her did not have any messy thoughts.

"Brother, what are you doing? Why have you been standing outside the whole time and refusing to come in? " Hu Wan pouted as she stood at the entrance of the cave and said to Zheng Lei.

Zheng Lei sighed and hid his emotions. He gave a slight smile to Hu Wan and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

"Big brother, the grandteacher and grandma came by the day before yesterday." Hu Xiao Wan said as she was eating the vegetable soup.

Zheng Lei looked at the busy Hu Xiaowang and felt his heart ache. This little fox must have subconsciously wanted this to be its life as soon as its life came to an end.

He smiled and said, "Oh? What did she say? "

Hu Wan put down the bowl, raised her head, and happily said, "Grandmother said that she won't stop us from being together anymore. She also said that if there are any difficulties, you can go and find her at any time. She will help us."

"Little Wan …" Zheng Lei gently called out.

"Hmm?" Hu Xiaowang's eyes widened as she waited for Zheng Lei to finish.

But Zheng Lei didn't say anything else. He didn't know how to mention this to the little girl. This rare moment of tranquility was probably the life that Hu Xiaoxi wanted the most. If he exposed this, how much pain would the little girl suffer?

"Forget it. I wanted to tell you about what happened to me in the past few days. Forget it, let's eat first." Zheng Lei lied.

"Oh, didn't Brother encounter a lot of interesting things in the past few days after he went out? Alright, hurry up and eat. Tell me about dinner. What does the outside world look like?" Hu Xiaowang excitedly picked up the bowl and gulped down the soup.

It seemed like this little girl subconsciously did not want to have that earthly memory, so she chose to hide it. Right now, she thought she had always been staying in this deep mountain.

Stupid, cute little girl, she didn't even think about how she met Zheng Lei.

He didn't have the heart to expose this beautiful lie. He wanted to wait a little longer and let Hu Wan experience this quiet life of his. After all, when they woke up, they would still have to face the world in great clamor.

When Zheng Lei raised the bowl and placed it next to his mouth, a voice suddenly rang out in his heart, "Don't drink it, don't ever drink it!"

His heart skipped a beat. He used his lips to touch the edge of the bowl before putting it back down.

"Brother, what's wrong? [Is it hard to eat?] Hu Wan saw that Zheng Lei put down the bowl without drinking, so she quickly asked.

Zheng Lei didn't know how to explain himself to Hu Xiaowan as he asked this. His eyes slowly started to water up, two drops of tears rolled down his cheeks. He was so worried that he wanted to pee in his pants.

"Wan-Er is too stupid. She can't even make wild vegetable soup …" Hu Xiaowan sobbed.

Seeing that, Zheng Lei quickly pulled Hu Wan's hand and wiped her tears, saying, "Silly girl, who said that you don't taste good? I could smell it all the way from here. "

"Big brother is lying. It tastes so good, why don't you drink it?" Hu Wan pouted and said.

At this moment, Zheng Lei's mind was spinning rapidly as he made up a story in his mind. He gently patted the little Wan'er's head and said, "Yes, I was going to drink it, but since you've finished drinking it, I wanted to tell you the story first."

"Really?" Hu Wan's eyes lit up. She could tell that she still yearned for the outside world. More accurately, she longed for the outside world.

"Hmm, guess what I met when I went out this time?" Zheng Lei said with a smile.

Hu Xiao Wan raised her innocent head and guessed, "Big brother must have met a small animal that ran very fast. After chasing for a long time, I still couldn't catch it, but it still ran away."

"Ah?" You guessed it right? Little Wan, are you following me? " Zheng Lei pretended to be surprised.

But Hu Wan'er was even more surprised. She covered her mouth with her hand and said, "Really? I was just guessing randomly! "

Zheng Lei smiled and said, "After I went out that day, I was thinking that I must find something. Otherwise, my Wan will starve. So I carefully looked at every corner of the forest."

As he spoke, Zheng Lei looked at Hu Xiaowang. She had a serious expression on her face as she listened carefully, as if afraid of losing any word.

"Suddenly!" Zheng Lei's sudden change in tone scared Hu Wan. She pouted and said, "Brother, you're so bad. Why are you scaring me?"

Zheng Lei laughed mischievously, his heart filled with a sweet gentleness, as if he wanted to make people completely intoxicated.

"There's a rabbit running out of the forest. Aiyo, didn't you see? That rabbit is so fat, I really don't know what it ate. The moment I saw the rabbit running out, without saying a word, I drew my bow and shot out."

Hu Wan's face was filled with worry.

"Bang! Oh, it missed. That rabbit ran faster than an arrow and suddenly made a turn, so I didn't hit it."

At this point, Hu Wan'er's expression relaxed, as if she was rejoicing for the rabbit.

"I thought, you fat rabbit, if you ran away, my family's Little Wan will starve. So, she ran away. She didn't even look at the road and kept chasing, what do you think she would do?"

Hu Wan shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

"I was staring at the rabbit. I didn't notice what was beneath my feet. Putong! I rolled down the mountain."

"Huh?" Hu Xiao Wan stood up in shock. She grabbed Zheng Lei and asked, "Big brother, are you alright?" Did you have any injuries? It was all because of Wan-Er. Wan-Er didn't want her brother to go hunting anymore. She wasn't afraid of getting hungry! "

Zheng Lei opened his arms and smiled. "I'm fine now. Do I look like I'm in trouble?"

"Are you really alright?"

"En, I'm really fine. Look at how strong your brother is, how can he be injured if he falls down?" After saying that, Zheng Lei stretched out his hand and showed his undeveloped biceps.

Hu Wan chose to believe in Zheng Lei and asked, "And then?"

Zheng Lei looked at Hu Xiaowang and said, "Then I rolled all the way down the mountain before I stopped. My whole body was in pain and I felt like my butt was split into four halves."

"Ah?" Big brother's butt is broken? "Let me see." As she spoke, she reached out to touch Zheng Lei's butt.

Zheng Lei quickly blocked her hand and said, "Where is it? It's just that it's very painful, how would I dare to turn into four? "

"I lay down for a while and waited until my body didn't hurt anymore. Then, I slowly got up and took a look. Oh my god!"

"Ah?" What now? Did big brother encounter some ferocious beasts? "

Zheng Lei shook his head and said, "No, I don't know where I found myself at. There were strange houses everywhere, houses that could run with wheels, and a lot of people."

"A house that runs? And with wheels? " Hu Wan asked curiously.

"Yeah, I was wondering too, where is this place? How could it be like this? So I wanted to find someone to ask and see where I was. "

"Then did you find the person?" Hu Xiao Wan asked worriedly.

"Of course I did. There were so many people there. I picked one of them up and asked her, 'Big sister, what kind of place is this?" Then the woman looked at me and covered her mouth and laughed.

Hu Wan shook her head.

"She laughed for a while and then said, 'Why are you dressed like this? "You look no better than a barbarian," I said to myself. "You're wearing a red suit with a fork underneath and your legs exposed. Look at your clothes, they look like a rag.

Zheng Lei's words caused Hu Xiaowang to laugh happily. As she laughed, she said, "Big brother is so good at talking, to actually say that my clothes are like rags."

"It was originally, but I didn't dare to say it out loud. Otherwise, she wouldn't tell me the way. I continued to ask her while smiling. After a while, she smiled and said," Little brother, are you going back to the mountain? " I nodded quickly, and then she said, 'Then come with me. And then I followed her. "

"So you followed her back? Where is she? Why not let her come to our house and thank her? " Hu Xiaowan said in a reproachful tone.

"No, I didn't come back with her." Zheng Lei said.

"He didn't come back?" "Then where did you go?" A womanly sensitivity was immediately emitted from Hu Wan's body. It could be seen that she still felt a bit shamed by the scene when she saw Shui Rou and Zheng Lei.
