“Let go…”
“No!”
"open!"
"don't want!"
"Are you going to let it go?"
"I won't let go!"
“Ahhhh!”
I slowly retracted my right hand, which had been bitten with a tooth mark, back into the quilt and looked at her innocently. Su Xiaoniu glared at me coquettishly, stood up, supported her waist with both hands, and said to me in a condescending manner: "A patient should act like a patient. Just lie down on the bed and sleep!"
"Oh," I shrank my neck and crawled into the quilt like a good baby.
Puff! I only heard Xuanxuan's laughter, and then Su Xiaoniu said a few words to her. Xuanxuan said to me: "Brother Xu Fei, then you have a good rest. I'm going back first."
I nodded.
Xuanxuan left, and Su Xiaoniu sat beside my bed and whispered, "We are going to Yinshan tomorrow. You should have a good rest tonight. I will go back to the Golden Body."
She stood up and was about to leave when I suddenly reached out from under the covers and grabbed her. Su Xiaonv turned around and frowned: "What's wrong?"
"No..." I wanted to tell her not to go to Yinshan, because the swordsman's words had left a shadow in my heart, but then I thought, is that possible? Even if I told her, she would definitely follow me. I know her too well.
So, I swallowed back the words I was about to say.
Su Xiaoniu slipped into the golden body, and the swordsman's flute music stopped, disappearing somewhere unknown. I drifted off to sleep in a daze. The next day, I was awakened by the swordsman's flute. I looked out the window and saw a hazy mist and no sun. It seemed like today wasn't a good day to choose.
I spent the entire morning getting ready and was about to leave when Xuanxuan, bundled up with bags, was already waiting at the door. I stared at her and asked her what was going on. Xuanxuan smiled innocently and said, "I'm worried about Brother Xu Fei. What if you have another attack on the way? So, I'm going to Yinshan with Brother Xu Fei. If you do have an attack, I can get you treatment in time!"
"No! It's too dangerous!" I didn't want Xuanxuan to risk her life in Yinshan. After all, once you get in, you never know if you can get out. If anything happens to Xuanxuan, how am I going to explain this to Uncle Zhang and the others?
However, Xuanxuan hid behind Su Xiaoniu and said, "Sister-in-law has agreed, Brother Xu Fei, just agree to it!"
I was stunned and looked at Su Xiaoniu. She shrugged and said, "She told me last night. I thought what she said made sense, so I agreed to it."
I rolled my eyes speechlessly, pulled Su Xiaoniu aside, and whispered, "Xiaomo, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but that's Yinshan! You can't possibly not know what Yinshan is, right? The last time Xuanxuan went to Lop Nur, she disappeared. I can't imagine what kind of trouble she'll cause this time."
Su Xiaoniu glared at me with her beautiful eyes and said, "Oh! If you say so, then I can't go either. Just let Xuanxuan and I stay at home to watch the door for you, and you can go alone."
"That's not what I meant..."
"What do you mean?"
"I... okay, okay, let's go together!"
Actually, I was afraid that Su Xiaoniu would be angry, so I had no choice but to agree to her request. I walked up to Xuanxuan and told her that she had to follow me closely on the way to Yinshan Mountain and obey my orders. Otherwise, I would not be responsible if anything happened. Xuanxuan was so excited that she agreed without hesitation.
I asked Su Xiaoniu, Xuanxuan and the swordsman to wait for me at the station first. I took a taxi to find Yu Jie and told him that I was going on a long trip and might be back soon, or maybe... I would never come back in my lifetime. I asked him to help take care of Zhao Xi and her daughter.
"Even if you didn't tell me, I would have done it. Besides, why should brothers be so polite to each other?" Yu Jie patted my shoulder and said, "But, are you sure you don't want to go find Zhao Xi in person and say goodbye to her?"
I shook my head and said, "Some things... it's better to be decisive. - That's it, they're still waiting. I'm leaving first. You and your girlfriend should take care of yourselves."
Yu Jie waved his hand: "Remember to come back early, my girlfriend and I are getting married soon, and I need you to be my best man!"
I grinned, but said nothing, because I didn't know how long it would take to go to Yinshan, nor did I know if I would be able to come back. I took a taxi directly to the station. Su Xiaoniu was already waiting impatiently, and asked me if I had gone to see Zhao Xi.
I shook my head and said no, but Su Xiaoniu was convinced that I had gone to see Zhao Xi and accused me of lying to her. But I really didn't go to see Zhao Xi. I just went to see Yu Jie and asked her to help take care of Zhao Xi and her daughter. It was that simple. However, that's the nature of women, and I was helpless.
Finally, after coaxing Su Xiaoniu a lot, she forgave me. We got in the car and headed north.
The Yinshan Mountains are an east-west mountain range and an important geographical dividing line in northern China. They stretch across the central Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the northernmost part of Hebei Province, stretching for more than 1,200 kilometers and 50 to 100 kilometers wide from north to south. They are the northern boundary of the Yellow River Basin.
When we arrived in Hebei, we discovered that the land leading to the Yinshan Mountains was so broken and collapsed that vehicles couldn't get in, let alone planes. I asked Su Xiaoniu and the others to wait while I asked nearby residents about the local situation.
An older woman said, "You're going to Yinshan? I advise you not to go. Have you seen that black cloud? It's said that a lot of scary, filthy things have appeared in Yinshan! A while ago, a few people went on an adventure there, but we never heard from them again. Until last night, their bodies were found floating in the Yellow River. The sight of them dead... was horrific! Just thinking about it is giving me nightmares for days!"
