Chapter 278 Spring Returns
Boda knew that he could not defeat Shen Yu and Shen Zhao on his own, but he was familiar with the terrain and used it to his advantage, leading the two to a very thin ice surface.
Shen Yu's fear of water has not disappeared, and the ice surface has greatly limited her combat power. Fortunately, the brother and sister worked together and finally killed Boda.
Chen Yu said it too simply, but Xie Tingzhou knew that the battle between life and death was far more dangerous than her understated description.
She was obviously avoiding the important issues and deliberately omitting the dangers that would make his heart clench, but fortunately she had returned to him safely.
Shen Yu recalled the scene at that time.
The cold wind brought snow and blew along the ice surface into the distance. The ice was very thin and you could see the bottomless glacier when you lowered your head.
Cracked ice patterns spread out from Boda's knife. Shen Yu only had time to see Shen Zhao running towards her shouting before she fell into the glacier.
The expected sinking did not occur. When she looked up at the water surface, she saw Shen Zhao jumping into the water without hesitation and swimming towards her desperately.
Shen Zhao grabbed her wrist and brought her up.
He said, "Ayu, don't be afraid. Brother has caught you. As long as I am here, I will not let you sink again."
In fact, the fear revealed in Shen Zhao's trembling voice at that time was far greater than that of Shen Yu.
It turns out that there are so many people in this life who regard her as a treasure and would risk their lives to save her and would not let her sink again.
She is much luckier than her previous life.
Xie Tingzhou stroked her hair and asked, "Anything else?"
Chen Yu thought for a moment and continued, "After the ice broke, we could only drift downstream with the broken ice and find the direction to return after reaching the shore. The people of Xijue are very xenophobic and are very wary and even hostile to the people of Dazhou. When we asked for directions on the road, some of the people of Xijue would automatically avoid us, and some would even chase us with shovels."
Shen Yu and Shen Zhao are both skilled in martial arts, but it is not easy for them to attack ordinary people.
Benxiao got lost when they fell into the water. Xijue is a vast area with few people. Since he couldn't find a horse or help, he could only walk back on foot, which delayed him a lot of time.
Chen Zhao was still injured, and they were afraid of getting lost, so they could only keep walking in one direction.
, and hunt some game on the way to satisfy hunger.
Later, Chen Yu saw Bai Yu hunting, or to be exact, Bai Yu saw her, and then Bai Yu brought the Qingyun Guards to come. Chen Yu took the horse and rushed back overnight, but was still a little late.
Chen Yu asked about the war in the north again. They leaned against each other and chatted for a long time. Before dawn, Chen Yu fell asleep again.
"Ayu."
Shen Yu turned her head and saw Shen Zhongan again.
The wind was strong on the hillside. Shen Zhongan stood there facing the wind, his hair blown by the wind had already turned a little white.
"What are you standing there for? Come here." Shen Zhongan urged her.
"Oh, here I come." Chen Yu hurried over, but stopped in front of the hillside.
This was a dream that had haunted her countless times. She knew what she would see after standing on the hillside, and she began to feel fear for no reason.
Shen Zhongan turned his head, the morning sun fell on his face, he stretched out his hand to Chen Yu, "Don't be afraid, come, come to daddy."
Chen Yu slowly took a step and walked towards the hillside.
The moment she took a step, the ice and snow melted from under her feet and spread toward the hillside. After the snow melted, green grass was revealed.
When she actually stood on it, she saw clean grass. The green grass pushed away the ice and snow and continued to stretch towards the sky... and stretched...
What I see before me is no longer a field littered with corpses, but a pasture where horses are galloping.
The green grass bent down in the wind. Shen Zhongan pulled Chen Yu to sit down on the hill. They looked into the distance and felt warmth and tranquility for the first time in their dreams.
Shen Zhongan raised his hand and pointed to the distance, "Green grass will grow wherever your horse's hooves step on the land."
He touched Chen Yu's head and said, "My girl has found her own way. You have done much better than Dad expected. Go your own way and you can go further than you thought."
Chen Yu lowered her eyes dejectedly, "But I couldn't save you and the soldiers."
"You are just a human being." Shen Zhongan said, "You have sent away those 100,000 wronged souls. Your father is proud of you, and your mother is proud of you too."
Shen Yu looked at him and blinked, "Mom?"
Shen Zhongan looked aside and smiled gently.
Shen Yu followed his gaze and saw a blurry figure in the distance.
She lost her mother when she was young and didn't remember what her mother looked like, but the moment she saw that figure, Shen Yu was sure that it was her mother.
Shen Zhongan stood up and patted his robe, "I have to go."
Shen Yu panicked instantly, "Don't go, Dad, don't go."
"Your mother has been waiting for me for too long." Shen Zhongan smiled at her in the morning light, "We are going to a very far place, and we will not come to see you in the future."
"Dad!" Shen Yu took a few steps forward, but felt a pair of big hands tightly holding her waist, preventing her from moving forward.
Shen Zhongan walked further and further away.
Finally, the two figures stood side by side and waved at her.
On the other side, the soldiers were also walking on the grass and leaving into the distance.
"Ayu." Xie Tingzhou called softly, but the person in his arms did not move.
The lamp oil was almost burned out and the light in the room became dim.
Xie Tingzhou saw tears in the corners of her eyes in the dim light. Just as he was about to wake her up, he saw a smile on her lips.
It must have been a deeply moving dream, so he wiped away the tears from her eyes.
Chen Yu opened her eyes at this time, but she didn't seem to be awake, and there was a thin layer of mist in her eyes.
"Stop the boat." She murmured.
Xie Tingzhou brushed aside her hair and said, "I'm here."
"My father, my father..." Chen Yu suddenly burst into tears, "He said that he will never come to see me again in the future."
Xie Tingzhou didn't know what kind of dream she had that could make her happy one moment and cry like this the next.
Chen Yu sobbed in his arms, crying her heart out, and even hiccuping after crying, as if she wanted to vent all her sadness and pain, and never let them hold her back again.
She is still a little girl after all.
Xie Tingzhou sighed in his heart, but did not dissuade her. Instead, he let her vent and just rubbed her back, telling her that he was always here.
