Ling Ran pulled Zhou Xiang's hand and said, "Let's go!"
Zhou wanted to take out the jade slip, and the light curtain shook. She grabbed Ling Ran and said, "Let's go. Follow me closely."
After the two of them left the formation and stood at the bottom of the Huai River bed, the jade slip in Zhou Xiang's hand shattered.
Zhou Xiang sighed softly. No matter whether it was brought by time or set by the Taoist priest, she only had one chance. Fortunately, this chance included both entry and exit.
Ling Ran was stunned. Is this jade slip broken? So what if it's broken? He dragged his stunned wife up to the riverbank.
After standing up in the shallow water, the two stared at the trees bathed in the morning sun, stunned. "Oh my god! Why are the leaves just sprouting? Why is the river so cold? What season is it now?"
Taking off his diving goggles and flippers, Zhou Xiang quickly ran to the shore. "Ling Ran, let's go home quickly. If I'm not mistaken, it's the spring of 1997."
Ling Ran was shocked. Spring of 1997? He felt they had been in the formation space for only two or three months at most. How could ten months have already passed?
He also took off his flippers and caught up with his wife. When they stepped on the sand on the shore, Zhou Xiang didn't care whether there was anyone around and pulled Ling Ran into the space.
After quickly changing out of their diving suits, Zhou Xiang pulled Ling Ran out again. The two of them didn't even want to ride their bicycles and ran straight to where they parked.
Where's the car? The two circled the parking lot several times but couldn't find Ling Ran's car.
"Let's go home." Ling Ran pulled Zhou Xiang, "Lu Jin has my car keys."
"What's going on?"
Zhou Xiang didn't want to take a car, it would make her anxious to death. She wanted to fly back home.
Ling Ran took out the power-assisted bicycle from the ring, stepped on it, and then took out two helmets and handed one to Zhou Xiang, "Get on."
"good!"
Zhou Xiang had forgotten about the power-assisted bicycle she bought for her godfather. Thinking of her godfather, she became even more anxious. She and Ling Ran had been missing for ten months. The family must be in turmoil, right?
Ling Ran waited for his wife to hug his waist, then immediately stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.
After filling up the gas at the north end of the county town, we drove back to the town in just over ten minutes. As soon as the electric bike stopped in the parking lot, a group of people appeared at the gate of Zhou's courtyard.
Parents, parents-in-law, godfather and godmother, Senior Jiang, eldest brother, third brother, second sister, brother-in-law, behind them are Xiong Mingli and Lu Zhaochong, as well as Zhong Xiong, Wu Haotian, Zhong Lan, An Wen, Brother Chao, and Aunt Blind.
Zhou Xiang was a little scared of this lineup. Will she be beaten?
Ling Ran took off his helmet and also took off the helmet of his wife who was planning to play ostrich. "You can't hide from the first day, you will get hurt if you stick your head out."
Zhou wanted to glare at him. Is this trying to persuade people?
Zhou Xiang turned to face the courtyard gate and waved to everyone, "Hi! I'm back."
Mother Zhou was still not as quick as Zhou Niao. Zhou Niao stepped out of the courtyard, pushed Ling Ran aside, and hugged her sister. "Sister, you're back! You scared us, you know?"
Mother Zhou tugged at her eldest son's clothes, and Zhou Niao quickly made room. Mother Zhou hugged her little girl and burst into tears, "Where have you been? You asked me to guard the rear, but I can't. Without any news from you, I have no hope of living. Who else can I guard?"
Zhou wanted to pat his mother on the back. His mother was just an ordinary woman, and the pressure she put on him was a bit too much.
Zhou's mother was crying so hard that she was out of breath. Zhou Xiang quickly patted her back and said, "Don't worry, Mom. Nothing happened to us. We just got lost while doing something. Now we're back, right? Don't cry. Our mission is almost complete. We have confidence. Don't worry. Everything is fine."
Mother Zhou raised her tearful eyes and asked, "Really?"
Zhou Xiang nodded vigorously, "Really? Did you see the car but couldn't contact us, so you thought we had an accident?"
There was no signal on the cell phone in the formation space. Mom and the others must have been scared.
Mother Zhou nodded. "You haven't been home for a few months, and Lu Jin and his men saw Ling Ran's car by the Huai River again. We reported it to the police, and Ling Ran's team leader also brought people here. We searched this section of the Huai River for a long time, but found no clues."
The situation had become too serious. Zhou Xiang looked at Ling Ran and said, "Call the captain right away! And have him report this to the higher-ups. We're back, and a lot of eyes will be on us. We need to hurry."
Ling Ran nodded and went into the living room to make a phone call.
Zhou Xiang let go of his mother and hugged his tearful mother-in-law, "Mom, I'm sorry to have worried you."
Dong Yunrong burst into tears. She was truly terrified. Ten months had passed without a single word, and her phone was unreachable. It was as if the two of them had vanished from the face of the earth. "Think about it, you and Ling Ran are finally back. Your mom and I spend every day together, comforting each other. Your mom couldn't handle the pressure and told me everything. I'm scared too. I'm afraid you'll be taken away by the other party. I'm afraid I'll never see you again in my lifetime."
Zhou Xiang's body stiffened. "Mom, I'm sorry. When I found out, I was already with Ling Ran. I didn't mean to drag him into this."
Dong Yunrong saw that her daughter-in-law had misunderstood, and quickly withdrew from her arms. "Think about it, that's not what I meant. I know my son's temper. He's a stubborn donkey. Once he falls in love, there's no turning back. Even if there's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, he'll jump in. I feel sorry for you. The burden on you is too heavy. You shouldn't bear it all alone."
"Don't worry! This time, Ling Ran and I should be able to save all of us."
Dong Yunrong raised her head and touched her hair. This child was so pitiful. She had to shoulder everything alone and try hard to find a way out for her family.
"Let's go! Let's talk inside. We're all blocking the door and making a fool of ourselves."
Everyone entered the dining room and sat down around the table. After Ling Ran finished his call, he sat down next to Zhou Xiang.
Zhou Xiang said, "There really is nothing going on between Ling Ran and me. As for the ten months I was missing, I was accompanying Ling Ran to investigate something. We didn't know it would take so long. I'm sorry to have worried everyone."
Guan Bo waved his hand, "I'm glad you're all right, I'm glad you're all right. You and Ling Ran are tired too, your godmother and I will go back first."
The goddaughter is back and the family has a lot to talk about, so it would be a bit unnecessary for him and his wife to get involved.
Zhou wanted to stand up and said, "Godfather, wait a minute. The power-assisted bike we rode back is for you. Let Ling Ran teach you. You will learn it quickly. If you can ride a bicycle, you can ride the power-assisted bike."
Guan Bo's unnecessary thoughts that he and his wife had just had disappeared immediately. His goddaughter and son-in-law bought him a power-assisted bicycle. He knew that power-assisted bicycles were similar to motorcycles, but lighter. He was even tempted by it!
"Okay, okay! Ling Ran, go teach me how to ride. With a power bike, it will be much more convenient for me to come to town every day."
Aunt Guan really didn't know what to say to her husband. What a guy, he accepted the big gift bought by the child without any hesitation.
Zhou Xiang held his godmother's hand and said, "Godmother, I'm sorry. Did I make you and godfather anxious?"
Aunt Guan shook her head and said, "It's okay, as long as you are okay."
"Even if Ling Ran and I poke a hole in the sky, nothing will happen to us, don't worry!"
