In the following days, Su Tang was like a possessed person.
Every night he would sit in the dark, clutching the camel thorn bush tightly in his hands.
The edges of the dry grass leaves were a little prickly, but they became the most real touch for her to perceive another world.
She followed the old Taoist's instructions, put aside all distracting thoughts, and replayed every detail of her time in the northwest courtyard in her mind over and over again.
At first, the visions were still brief and blurry.
Sometimes I see the poplar leaves falling in the courtyard, sometimes I hear Cheng'an's vague laughter, each time it is like a shooting star across the night sky, disappearing in a flash.
But Su Tang did not give up. Even if she could only see it for a few seconds each time, it was a great hope for her.
She adjusted her state, trying to focus her mind more, trying to prolong her connection with that world.
As long as the connection is maintained, she will be able to touch that world.
That night, when Su Tang was immersed in visualization again, the scene before him suddenly became much clearer.
Not only did she see the familiar house, she also saw Lu Xiao sitting by the kang, carefully wiping her cheek while she lay on the bed.
His movements were so gentle as if he was protecting a rare treasure.
The red bloodshot under his eyes was more obvious than the last time I saw him, and the stubble on his chin was longer.
The whole person exuded an unconcealable fatigue and haggardness.
"Lu Xiao..."
Su Tang choked and his voice echoed softly in the dark apartment.
It seemed that her thoughts were transmitted to the other end, and Lu Xiao suddenly stopped wiping.
He raised his head and looked around the room blankly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, which was quickly replaced by disappointment.
He reached out, gently stroked Su Tang's hair, and whispered softly.
"Tangtang, when will you wake up? Cheng'an can already speak and calls for his mother every day."
Su Tang's heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
She wanted to respond, wanted to tell Lu Xiao that she was here, but no matter how hard she tried, her voice could not be transmitted and her body was still unable to move.
Just when she was about to collapse with anxiety, the scene began to shake and gradually became blurred.
"No! Lu Xiao!"
Su Tang shouted anxiously.
But in the end, darkness returned to my eyes.
Su Tang sat dejectedly on the ground, breathing heavily. She gripped the camel thorn in her hand even tighter, and bits of grass fell from between her fingers.
But she was not discouraged. This clear vision made her more certain that the old Taoist priest's method was feasible.
As long as she persists, she will be able to truly return to that world one day.
In the world of books, Lu Xiao looked at the empty house, and his heart began to beat uncontrollably again.
At that moment just now, he seemed to really feel Su Tang's breath, and even felt that she was right beside him looking at him.
He stood up and walked around the room, carefully checking every corner, but found nothing.
"Lu Xiao, what are you looking for?"
Mrs. Lu outside the door saw Lu Xiao stand up and walked over to ask.
Lu Xiao stopped, took a deep breath, suppressed the waves in his heart, and said slowly: "It's okay."
He didn't know whether this inexplicable throbbing was an illusion or whether there really was some mysterious connection pulling them together.
But he had a firm belief in his heart.
He will definitely wait until the day Su Tang wakes up.
In the modern apartment, Su Tang clenched the camel thorn in his hand again.
Late that night, Su Tang sat in the middle of the dark apartment as usual, holding the bunch of camel thorns tightly in his hands.
She closed her eyes. Suddenly, she felt a strange warmth coming from the camel thorn in her hand.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful force spread from the fingertips to the whole body, and the darkness in front of his eyes was instantly replaced by dazzling light.
Su Tang felt dizzy and his body seemed to be sucked into a huge whirlpool, with the sound of whistling wind in his ears.
She subconsciously clenched the camel thorn tightly, with only one thought in her mind.
Are you...going back?
After an unknown amount of time, when she felt the touch of solid ground again, the whistling wind disappeared.
Instead, there was the familiar northwest evening breeze, carrying a hint of yellow sand and the sound of a few dogs barking in the distance.
She slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was not a cold modern apartment, but familiar adobe walls.
"I'm back?"
Su Tang murmured to herself in disbelief. She reached out her hand and touched the tree beside her. The touch was so real that it brought tears to her eyes.
Just then, there was a slight noise in the room.
Su Tang's heart skipped a beat. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw the door being gently pushed open. A familiar figure walked out.
It was Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao originally heard some noise in the yard and was worried that it was a wild beast in the night, so he came out with an oil lamp to check.
When he saw Su Tang standing under the old locust tree, the oil lamp in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and the lamp oil spilled all over the ground. The flame jumped a few times on the ground and then went out.
"Tangtang?"
Lu Xiao's voice trembled and his eyes widened, he couldn't believe his eyes.
He walked towards Su Tang step by step, and every step felt like stepping on cotton, fearing that everything in front of him was just an illusion.
Su Tang looked at Lu Xiao, and could no longer hold back her tears, which flowed down her cheeks.
She ran over quickly, threw herself into Lu Xiao's arms, and hugged him tightly.
The familiar embrace and the familiar breath made her instantly certain that this was not a dream, she was really back.
"Lu Xiao, I'm back... I miss you so much, I miss Cheng'an so much..."
Su Tang choked, his voice full of grievance and longing.
Lu Xiao's stiff body finally came back to his senses when he felt the warmth in his arms.
He hugged Su Tang back tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.
The worries, anxieties and longings that had been pent up for a long time all burst out at this moment.
His shoulders trembled slightly and tears silently fell.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."
Lu Xiao repeated this sentence over and over again, his voice hoarse but full of ecstasy of regaining what he had lost.
"Tangtang, why, why are you in the yard?"
He was clearly in the room watching over her just now.
Su Tang shook his head: "I don't know either. I returned to my world. I tried many ways to come back, but I didn't. Then I met an old Taoist priest."
As he spoke, Su Tang felt his palms getting a little hot.
She spread out her palms and felt them burning. When she looked again, the camel thorn had turned into northwest dust and fallen to the ground.
"This is?"
Lu Xiao was stunned when he saw this thing. Su Tang immediately said, "It's because of this thing that I came back."
This was the only thing she took away from here, and it was because of this thing that she was able to come back here.
Lu Xiao didn't say anything, but just held her hand tightly and hugged her very tightly.
He was afraid that if he let go, she would leave and disappear.
