Hua Changle's throat was extremely dry. She subconsciously swallowed, but the dryness pulled at her throat, and an itchy feeling crept up her throat, causing her to cough violently.
Her throat was so dry that she coughed until she felt like vomiting and tried to sit up.
The cough startled Hua Xiange, and he immediately came over, sat by the bed, and helped her lean against him.
He avoided the "knife wound" on Hua Changle's back that Zhou Liang had told him about, gently patted her back, and poured her a glass of warm water with one hand.
Hua Changle took a sip and finally stopped coughing.
Her already thin face became even thinner, showing obvious signs of illness, and her usually bright and clear eyes were cloudy due to pain.
Hua Changle grabbed his arm for support, sat up a little, and leaned weakly against his shoulder.
"Second Brother..." her voice was weak.
Hua Xiange replied, "Yes, I'm here. How are you feeling? Should I call a doctor?"
Hua Changle slowly shook her head and looked up at him: "Second brother, what happened to me yesterday?"
Hua Xiange frowned slightly and replied:
"When Bai Xie, Ling Ren, and I found you last night, you were with She Haoyun and had already passed out. After I took you home, Zhou Xunqian, who is our family doctor, examined and treated you."
"Your father said he needs to discuss your specific situation with you privately."
Hua Changle felt a tightness in her chest.
Although she was not clear about the specifics, she knew that the problem stemmed from the fusion and the origin of the problem.
Hua Lihan's words suggest that he basically knows about her situation.
Hua Changle felt fear in the face of Hua Lihan, a man whose power and cultivation were as imposing as a mountain.
"Where's Dad?" Hua Changle asked.
Hua Xiange said, "No rush, he won't be back until tonight, you should get some rest first."
"Are you hungry? I'll have someone get you some food. A doctor will be here soon to give you an IV and some medicine; I'm worried your stomach might not be able to handle it."
Hua Changle shook his head: "No, I have no appetite."
She really couldn't eat right now. The culprit that was making her feel uncomfortable was still there, even though it was quiet now. It left her exhausted and with no appetite at all.
Seeing that she really had no appetite, Hua Xiange said she would find her something fun and interesting to keep her entertained.
Hua Changle pressed his hand down: "Second brother, stop working. You should rest for a while. You haven't slept all night, have you?"
"I'm fine, I'm not sleepy."
Hua Changle's attitude hardened: "I don't believe it. Second Brother was exhausted yesterday and stayed up all night. How could he not be tired?"
She gave him a push: "Go sleep on that bed. I'm still tired too. Let's rest together for a while longer."
Hua Xiange thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll watch you sleep first, and then I'll sleep."
"Okay." Hua Xiange helped Hua Changle lie down, then lay down on the bed next to her.
"Lele".
"Um?"
Hua Xiange looked at her and said softly, "It's okay, I'll sing you a song to lull you to sleep, okay?"
Hua Changle smiled and said, "Okay!"
Hua Xiange's voice is very unique; when she hums, her voice brushes against your ear, sending a tingling sensation through you.
Hmm~
Spring buds await sprouting.
The oriole sings at the Awakening of Insects.
Spring sunshine awakens,
yes,
The prelude to spring...
Spring buds,
Carefree...
This is a well-known nursery rhyme in China. It is unknown who wrote it, but it was passed down from the early days of the natural disaster.
It was originally said to be a lullaby, but later it was elevated by people to the level of hope during times of natural disaster, which is when its popularity reached its peak.
Even now, it remains a nursery rhyme that expresses good wishes for children.
Hua Xiange looked at her drowsy appearance and remembered that they were like this when they were young.
A little girl holding a rabbit, and a boy coaxing her to sleep.
His humming grew increasingly gentle.
Exhausted, Hua Changle quickly fell asleep, soothed by the song.
...
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
The sound of a heartbeat rang in her ears, making her earlobes tingle, and Hua Changle was suddenly awakened.
The scene before her eyes left her bewildered: Where am I?
The sky was as black as ink, the clouds were scattered and chaotic, the earth was silent, and there were clusters of tombs before us. The dark sky pressed down on the rows of tombstones.
Too low, within easy reach, making it hard to breathe.
Hua Changle subconsciously took a step forward, and a wisp of ethereal blackish-purple mist emanated from between countless tombstones, like countless venomous snakes, intertwined and gathering into a ball.
After a silent transformation, the wisp of mist took on a human form.
Hua Changle hunched his neck, tilted his head, and squinted to see, but the person was backlit, and his entire face was pitch black, so he couldn't see anything at all.
She hesitated for a moment, but still tentatively stepped forward.
My feet were rubbing against something, making a strange sound.
Hua Changle glanced down and gasped.
Bones!
Half of the white bones were buried in the soil, with bits of rotting flesh still clinging to them. Flesh strands of flesh were caught on the bone tips and stuck to Hua Changle's feet.
The sticky, slippery sensation traveled through the soles of my feet to my stomach, and I immediately felt nauseous.
Having experienced the Northern Wars, Hua Changle suppressed that feeling and carefully examined the ground beneath her feet.
The land seemed shrouded in a thin layer of black mist, and amidst the gloom, only the stark, half-exposed white bones stood out starkly.
It resembles an ancient battlefield left behind.
Hua Changle withdrew her gaze from the skeleton, and when she looked up again, she suddenly realized that the dark figure was actually closer to her.
She didn't move; it was this dark figure that moved.
With less than ten meters between them, Hua Changle nervously swallowed.
The dark figure did indeed move forward again, but instead of walking, because Hua Changle could not see "His" feet.
