Chapter 491 No matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you!
"Hello."
A familiar voice that haunts me suddenly came from the receiver. After hearing this voice, I almost subconsciously swallowed my saliva, suppressed my excitement, and said, "Where are you?"
"Is there something wrong?" Huang Jiu's voice seemed full of fatigue. I couldn't help but feel nervous after hearing it, and then said, "I have the Iceberg Snow Lotus in my hands. Where are you? I'll send it to you!"
I thought Huang Jiu would be particularly excited after hearing this news, or at least, would be very shocked, but he wasn't.
Huang Jiu didn't say anything, and the receiver fell into silence for a while.
"Are you... listening?" I asked tentatively.
"Yeah." Huang Jiu responded, and then asked in a somewhat uncertain tone: "You just said...what is in your hand?"
"It's the Snow Lotus." I spoke again: "Where are you, I'll send it to you right away."
Huang Jiu did not answer my question, but asked back: "Where are you, I'll go get it."
"I'm in Zhangjiajie, I'll send you the detailed address now." I hung up the phone after I finished speaking, edited the address into a text message, and sent it to Huang Jiu.
After the text message was successfully sent, I took a deep breath, and then turned around to look at the suitcase.
The countdown continued, but the time changed from thirty-eight hours and thirty minutes to thirty-seven hours, and the countdown showed signs of accelerating.
"Legend has it that after an old precious medicine is separated from its root, it can only survive for a short period of time. So even if someone finds a precious medicine, they will not pick it easily unless they can dig it up with the root. But a precious medicine that has grown for more than a thousand years has roots that are unimaginably long, so it is difficult to dig it up with the roots. Could it be that the countdown time is not the time when the box is opened, but... the time the precious medicine can survive? Once this time has passed, the precious medicine will lose its original effect?"
My heart skipped a beat when I thought of this.
Huang Jiu didn't say where she was. Even if she was still in Lijiang, it would take several hours from Lijiang to Zhangjiajie, even if it was the fastest flight. Would she still have enough time to return with the treasure?
"Huang Jiu, drive over to me. I'll take a taxi to where Huang Jiu is. We'll meet halfway, which will save half the time."
Thinking of this, I picked up the phone again, but just as I was about to call Huang Jiu, the phone rang again. I looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Feng Churan who called me.
"This girl... isn't she also here for the Iceberg Snow Lotus?" I wanted to hang up the phone directly, but after hesitating for a while, I chose to pick it up.
"Hey, Zhang Qianyu, you bastard, why didn't you tell me earlier that you brought the Snow Lotus? You made me so sad just now." Feng Churan's voice came from the receiver: "Now it's all right. With the Snow Lotus, grandpa can be saved, and sister doesn't have to meet the people from Kunlun, and you can continue to be my brother-in-law."
I opened my mouth and was about to say something, but Feng Churan opened her mouth and interrupted me directly: "I got a taxi and I'll be there now. Wait for me!"
After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone, but I, remained in the posture of answering the phone, frozen in place.
Although I have never met Feng Churan's sister Feng Chujiu, I still have a little resistance to her because of the engagement, and I also have a little aversion to the Feng family.
But I can't feel disgusted with Feng Churan no matter what.
Not for anything else, just because we have experienced life and death together, and she has saved me more than once.
"If Feng Churan knew that I had given Iceberg Snow Lotus to another woman, would she be...disappointed in me? How should I face her then?"
I sat on the sofa in a daze, and began to struggle in my heart.
"But if I give the Snow Lotus to Feng Churan, then Huang Jiu's grandfather will... suffer from yang poison and die. How should I face Huang Jiu then? Will Huang Jiu... hate me?" At
this moment, I was in deep entanglement.
Both Feng Churan and Huang Jiu had experienced life and death with me, and even saved each other's lives.
The only difference is that Huang Jiu and I fell deeply in love with each other when we faced life and death together time and time again. However, Feng Churan also gave me her first kiss because she saved me.
"What should I do?" I grabbed my hair, gritting my teeth with a look of pain.
"If I can only save one, then who should I choose?"
The next moment, my heart suddenly shook.
"Can I divide the Snow Lotus into two parts?"
This thought made my eyes light up, but then I shook my head again.
This Snow Lotus is a precious medicine that is more than a thousand years old. This precious medicine must maintain its integrity in order to exert its medicinal effect to a greater extent. This is why many precious medicines must be taken as a whole after they are obtained.
I took a deep breath, then leaned back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Time passed by minute by minute, and about twenty minutes later, the doorbell suddenly rang. My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly sat up straight, then turned my head to look at the door. She
got here so quickly, it should be Feng Churan, but how should I face her and how should I explain it to her?
The doorbell was still ringing rhythmically, but I was still sitting on the sofa without moving.
The next moment, the phone suddenly rang. I picked it up and saw that it was Huang Jiu calling me. I hurriedly picked up the phone, and then I heard Huang Jiu's hurried voice: "Zhang Baiyu, why don't you open the door?"
I was stunned when I heard it: "You...arrived?"
"Yes, just outside the door."
After hearing Huang Jiu's words, I was stunned.
How could she arrive so quickly?
Could it be that she was already in Zhangjiajie?
I didn't waste any more words, but got up directly and opened the door.
When the door was opened, the face that haunted me and appeared in my dreams countless times finally appeared in my eyes.
She was wearing a black tight windbreaker, a pair of slim jeans, and a pair of black high-heeled shoes. Although she still gave people a feeling of being sharp and decisive, I could see that there was a deep sense of fatigue in her eyes.
After seeing me, her eyes lit up obviously, but she didn't say much, just asked: "Where is Xuelian?"
"I'll get it to you."
We didn't exchange extra small talk, let alone reminiscing about the past, but went straight to the point.
After handing the box to Huang Jiu, I said to her: "After the countdown ends, the box will be opened. You must hurry to your grandfather's side as soon as possible. Xuelian may not live long."
Huang Jiu nodded, and then cast a grateful look at me, "Wait for me, I will come to you after I finish my business."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left with the suitcase, and I whispered: "I'll wait for you here."
She stopped in her tracks when she heard that, and then turned around suddenly.
"You, why are you crying?" I was shocked.
Because when she turned around, I realized that her face was already covered with tears.
She bit her lip and looked at me, then threw away her suitcase, ran towards me quickly, and finally threw herself into my arms.
Her hot lips with traces of tears pressed against mine in an instant, and we hugged each other and kissed deeply.
This kiss lasted for several minutes, and then I heard Huang Jiu's voice again in my ears: "I will definitely come back to find you." After that
, she broke away from my arms, wiped her tears, smiled at me, then turned around very nonchalantly, picked up her suitcase, and left quickly.
But I just stood there, watching her leaving, recalling the deep kiss just now. I don't know why, but at this moment, I suddenly felt a little lost in my heart.
It was a feeling of worrying about gains and losses, fear of losing.
"Be sure to come back to me, no matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you!" I said to her back.
"Definitely!" She didn't come back, and didn't even stop. After saying these two words, her figure finally disappeared around the corner.
[Author's words]
Originally, there were still many plots to be written, such as conflicts with Kunlun's people, but seeing that you were too anxious, the plot was changed. Alas, it's so difficult for me.
