Chapter 21 The Source of Tragedy
"Things happened too long ago. Our first priority is to confirm Lizhi Yuhui's life or death. We can deal with other matters later."
Early the next morning, Qingti Yaoming knocked on everyone's door, waking them up from their sleep and forcing them to have breakfast.
As soon as breakfast was over, he began to talk about his plan.
"But we don't even know where Master is. How can we confirm whether he is alive or dead?"
Xu Ren'er expressed confusion.
"That's not difficult." Qingti Yaoming's eyes sparkled, the corners of his mouth curled up as he said, "Since I dare to bring it up, there must be a way to find him."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's curiosity was immediately aroused.
After a night's rest, Tang Qiuyue had gradually recovered. She hurried forward and asked:
"What method?"
"When I first met Lizhi Yuhui, his arrogant and reckless fighting attitude made me sneer at him, but I have to admit that he also successfully piqued my curiosity about another way of living.
I really want to know what direction Lizhi Yuhui's future will take, and whether his personality will change drastically after some setbacks.
So I planted a green grape seed on Qingti Yaoming. This green grape seed has no effect on the human body and grows slowly. It will bear fruit at least once every seven years and emits a refreshing fragrance.
It is difficult for ordinary people to smell this fragrance. Only the special green grape disc made by our green grape family can capture this fragrance.
Of course, this does not mean that as long as you have a green disc, you can capture the fragrance of the seeds on Litchi Yuhui.
A scent can only correspond to one Tiqingdie. If that Tiqingdie dies, then there will be no one in the world who can capture that scent anymore."
As he spoke, Qingti Yaoming rubbed his hands together. As soon as he finished speaking, he opened his hands, and a beautiful butterfly suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The green disc of the grape looks like a butterfly, and its wings are actually formed by four overlapping light green discs. In the middle of the two wings is the branch of the green grape, which is forked at the top and forms a "Y" shape.
"Then how do you use this green disc?"
Xu Ren'er was no longer surprised by the magical scene before him, and asked directly about the next step.
"Don't worry, look!"
Qingti Yaoming gently tapped Ti Qingdie's wings. The next second, Ti Qingdie moved. It flapped its wings and flew to Qingti Yaoming's shoulders. The tail of the Qingti branch grabbed Qingti Yaoming's clothes and pulled it up with all its might.
"It's pointing the way for us. Let's go to the southwest. Litchi Yuhui is currently located southwest of us. If we go that way, we will definitely run into him."
——
Southwest, Tingfeng Town.
Rays of sunlight filtered through the cracks in the window and fell into the house, bringing brightness to the room. The handsome man lying on the bed had the sunlight shining on his face. The strong light and the slightly hot feeling made him frown.
This is an extremely simple wooden house. There are no body parts of the fruit tribe used as building materials. The structure of the house is almost entirely from the surrounding trees. It is impossible to tell which tribe it comes from. It looks more like the work of people from the mixed world.
Remaining regret, or rather, remaining regret for litchi.
He slowly woke up from his coma, his brain still in a chaotic state, and he still had a vague understanding of the current situation.
However, the next moment, a sharp pain suddenly came from his chest, which made him wake up from the chaos in an instant and jump up from the bed.
"Are you awake?"
A voice came from his ear, Lizhi Yuhui turned his head and saw a middle-aged woman about forty years old, dressed in light gray clothes, standing beside him, looking at him quietly.
Her eyes were calm, like a pool of stagnant water in the autumn night, with no hope in life. It was as if she had already experienced all the sufferings that people should experience in the world and seen through all the trivialities of the world.
"Are you... a survivor of the Watermelon Clan?"
When he saw the woman's face, Lizhi Yuhui was shocked.
If for no other reason, the woman in front of him looked so much like Tang Qiuyue!
If the age difference wasn't there, and the woman's aura was too lifeless, completely lacking Tang Qiuyue's youthful vitality, he would probably have mistaken the person in front of him as Tang Qiuyue!
Hearing Lizhi Yuhui's question, the woman's dead eyes finally showed some fluctuations. She wanted to pull the corners of her mouth to reveal a smile, but found that she had already forgotten how to smile.
That’s all…
The woman thought to herself, looking directly at him, and said:
"I guess so..."
After receiving the woman's agreement, Lizhi Yuhui's heart skipped a beat. He thought for a moment and asked cautiously:
"You know, I'm actually..."
One of the culprits who killed the watermelon tribe.
"I know." The middle-aged woman looked at him steadily and said softly, "It's not your fault."
After hearing these words, Lizhi Yuhui understood that the woman in front of him knew everything.
"Why did you save me?"
"Because you are the source of tragedy."
During the conversation, a hint of sadness flashed in the middle-aged woman's eyes. She continued, "Only if you are alive can history not repeat itself. Everything is still possible."
What kind of nonsense is she talking about?!
Lizhi Yuhui couldn't control his expression for a moment. His left eye widened, his right eye narrowed, and the right corner of his mouth twitched upwards, and he complained in his heart.
"Anyway, thank you for your help."
Lizhi Yuhui interrupted the strange atmosphere, lifted the quilt, endured the pain, stood up, bowed, and expressed his sincere gratitude.
"I will never forget your life-saving grace. If you need my help in the future, I will definitely do my best to help you."
After saying this, Lizhi Yuhui stood up straight, looked at her, and couldn't help asking, "Could you tell me your name? It would be convenient for me to call you by your name."
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman remained silent.
After a long while, she looked out the window and said:
"They are coming."
Lizhi Yuhui followed the middle-aged woman's gaze and looked out the window, only to see a group of people in the distance heading towards their cabin.
Lizhi Yuhui looked carefully, and oh no, there were three figures that were extremely familiar to him. Aren’t they his three beloved disciples?
He watched them dismount one by one, gradually approach the cabin where he was, then push the door open and look him in the face.
Familiar faces were right in front of him. Lizhi Yuhui raised an eyebrow, looked at them, thought for a moment, smiled, raised his hand and greeted them:
"It's a nice day today, is everyone okay?"
After seeing the living Litchi Yuhui with their own eyes, except for Apple Xinshan and Green Grape Yaoming, the other three instantly had tears in their eyes.
"Master..." Tang Qiuyue said tremblingly, "How great... I see you're still alive..."
Lychee Regret: ...
"You damn girl! Are you hoping for my death?!"
Lizhi Yuhui scolded angrily.
Look at that tone! If you didn't know, you'd think he'd been dead for a long time!
As soon as he finished speaking, three lovely disciples rushed over and hugged him tightly.
This sudden enthusiasm made Lizhi Yuhui feel like she was about to suffocate, and her wounds seemed to be torn.
He was about to burst into a curse, but when he met the eager eyes of his three beloved disciples, he swallowed his words back, and the words got stuck in his throat, making him feel very uncomfortable.
He patiently waited for the three people to adjust their mood and for them to consciously leave him. He rarely stopped talking nonsense and asked softly:
"What happened?"
When they heard the question, the three of them immediately avoided looking away and remained silent.
"Let me tell you."
Apple Xinshan stepped forward and drew everyone's attention.
She quickly and concisely described her experiences during this period, and finally began to ask Lizhi Yuhui:
"Can you tell us what exactly happened between you and the Watermelon Tribe back then? Also, Tang Beiju said he killed you personally, so how did you manage to escape?"
Hearing this, Lizhi Yuhui looked around. Everyone was staring at him intently, their eyes filled with a desire for the truth.
Seeing this, Lizhi Yuhui knew that this matter could not be resolved. He couldn't help but sigh and said:
"Let me answer your second question first. I did almost die, and I survived mainly because of the help of this benefactor next to me."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head towards the middle-aged woman who had been standing quietly beside him.
Everyone looked in the direction, and the next second, they were shocked by the middle-aged woman's appearance. Without thinking, they all looked at Tang Qiuyue's face, and then looked at the middle-aged woman's face again and again, and turned their heads to continue confirming Tang Qiuyue's face.
This went on and on, and Tang Qiuyue couldn't help it:
"You've seen it so many times, you've seen enough!"
Hearing the scolding, everyone quickly looked away and asked the middle-aged woman in unison:
"Are you a survivor of the Watermelon Clan?"
"she is."
Without waiting for the middle-aged woman to answer, Lizhi Yuhui answered for her.
Xu Ren'er: "What's her name?"
Lizhi Yuhui: "I don't know either. Before I could ask, you guys showed up."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at the middle-aged woman in front of them.
Middle-aged woman: ...
The middle-aged woman pondered for a moment and said, "I am Tang Qiu..."
Just as she opened her mouth, she seemed to realize something, paused for a while, and then changed her words: "My name is Xigua Tangqiu, you can just call me Tangqiu."
Seeing that the people around him had gotten the answer and seemed to want to continue asking questions, Xigua Tangqiu immediately changed the subject and said:
"Have you forgotten why you came here?"
This reminded them that the purpose of their coming here was, firstly, to confirm Lizhi Yuhui's life or death, and secondly, to clarify the events of the Watermelon Clan that year.
Silently withdrawing their curiosity about Xigua Tangqiu, everyone once again turned their attention to Lizhi Yuhui.
Lizhi Yuhui was a little hesitant, he didn't know how to summarize his past experiences.
"Tell them. If they rely on their own abilities to explore one by one, and take the wrong path along the way, they will be doomed.
Speaking frankly and letting them make their own decisions can at least...avoid many irreparable mistakes."
Xigua Tangqiu said expressionlessly.
Although she had no expression, Lizhi Yuhui could clearly see the unresolved pain in her eyes.
Lizhi Yuhui suddenly had an inexplicable feeling that the woman in front of him could predict the future in advance.
No! That's not right!
Rather than predicting the future, it would be more accurate to say that she seemed to have completely experienced another possible future.
This strange feeling made him stunned.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Lizhi Yuhui was puzzled. Why would he feel sad for a strange middle-aged woman whom he had only met once?
Forcefully ignoring this feeling of discomfort, Lizhi Yuhui calmed down, looked at everyone with a playful smile, and said:
"Since you ask sincerely, I will tell you reluctantly!"
