Chapter 32 Illness

Sitting on the train and looking at the scene outside the window, this was the first time I was acting alone, and the excitement and excitement in my heart gradually became a little nervous.

The train I bought was in the character K-shaped, and the whole journey took more than a day. Fortunately, I bought a hard sleeper. Lying on the sleeper, I guess I had to spend the next twenty hours in bed. I picked up my phone and found that there was a missed phone call.                                                                                             �

I opened it and saw that it was the number of Lantern Festival. I immediately dialed it back. After the phone was connected, a noisy sound came from the Lantern Festival. I asked strangely: "What are you doing there? What sound?" Then I heard the sound of Lantern Festival vaguely coming, "Zhuoran, you wait a moment!"

After a while, Yuanxiao said clearly: "Hey, where are you?"

I hesitated for a moment and did not tell Yuanxiao what I planned to be. I said to him, "I have something to do outside..." As soon as I got out of my mind, I almost said the word "outside" and fortunately, I quickly changed my words and said it to outside. Otherwise, if I knew that I was going out of the country alone, Yuanxiao would not notice it. I continued, "What's wrong with you? What's the matter with calling me?"

Yuanxiao said to me, "I'm driving now, and it's inconvenient to answer the phone. I just looked for the headphones, and it's OK now." Then he continued to say to me, "Zhuoran, do you have anything to do tonight? Come here."

I didn't know what Lantern Festival wanted to do for a moment, but looking at the speeding train, I knew that no matter what Lantern Festival had to do at night, I wouldn't be able to rush back. However, I still asked inadvertently: "I'm going? What's the matter?"

Lantern Festival said mysteriously: "You still remember what I told you about Kong Xue's return?"

After hearing what Yuanxiao said, I immediately understood what Yuanxiao was looking for me. I didn't say anything, but listened to Yuanxiao continuing: "I asked Kong Xue and a few friends to have dinner in the evening, both men and women, so come together. Zhuoran, I know what you think in your heart. Even if it doesn't work out in the end, don't leave any regrets for yourself, right? Besides, there are many people today, and even if she ignores you, it won't be embarrassing!" As he said that, Yuanxiao smiled jokingly, but I couldn't laugh at all.

When Lanxiao heard that I didn't respond, she stopped laughing and said, "Actually, I can see that Kong Xue is not as resentful as before. She should have figured it out during this period, but it's hard for girls to say it out directly. To be honest, I think you can get back together."

Hearing this, I finally smiled bitterly. To be honest, do I want to go? Sentimentally, I really want to go, but rationally, I can't help myself now, and this situation is a bit sudden for me. In addition to the current situation, I don't know what kind of mentality to face Kong Xue.

I took a deep breath and said to Yuanxiao: "Lanxiao, I really can't get rid of something now, and I can't go tonight. I'm really sorry. If you have the chance, I'll also say sorry to Kong Xue for me."

Yuanxiao said again: "I said Zhuoran, don't be reserved, you big man! You are all friends to have a meal together, and you don't count as a price loss! If you are so stingy, you will be bored!"

I really didn't have the strength and the mood to explain this to Yuanxiao, so I had to say, "Lanxiao, I'm telling the truth. I don't blame Kong Xue for the previous things. I really can't get away with the objective conditions. Okay, buddy, I won't tell you anymore. I still have something to do. Let's talk later!" After that, I hung up the phone before I waited for Yuanxiao to answer.

I leaned on the sleeper side and felt a sense of emptiness in my heart. I don’t know if it was because of the Tan family or Kong Xue, but this was not important. Through this period of experience, I felt that I had changed and I knew clearly what I should do.

The 20-hour drive was really hard to bear. After getting off at Chengdu Station, I felt like I was almost distracted and my body felt ache. I felt that something was right, so I touched my forehead. It seemed to be a little hot, and I secretly screamed in my heart, I wouldn't be sick here!

I quickly found a relatively famous chain hotel nearby, and bought a thermometer and some emergency medicine from a pharmacy on the way.

After moving into the room, the discomfort became even more obvious. I threw down my luggage, drank some hot water and got into the quilt.

I picked up the thermometer and tried the temperature, and it turned out to be 38.5℃. It turned out that I had a fever. I couldn't help but feel upset. This time I went out alone and fell ill. In addition to the pain, the key was that I also felt a sense of desolation in my heart. Although I was injured and admitted to the hospital in my previous experiences, there were always other people around me. But this time, I could only bear it by myself.

After lying for a while, I struggled to get up and take some antipyretics. Then I fell asleep in a drowsy way.

Due to the fever, I was in a state of half-wake. I felt myself huddling in the quilt and trembling coldly, but my whole body was already wet with sweat. I kept having all kinds of dreams, the red-eyed giant snake in the Qilian Mountains, the empty eyes of the island tomb, the spring of life in the underground royal tomb of the Shanhuan ancient country, the strange city gate below the Zhuo family's ancestral tomb, and the bottomless abyss deep in the 100,000 mountains, constantly emerging in front of my eyes. Finally, I dreamed that I had seen the Nine Dragon Heavenly Coffin deep in the Qilian Mountains again.

The huge sarcophagus seemed to be hanging in the air, and a gap was still opened on the lid of the sarcophagus. I walked slowly forward along the narrow stone road, trying to find out what was in the Jiulong Heavenly Coffin again. But before I could get in front of me, I suddenly stretched out a hand from it. I was startled and quickly retreated, but found that I had retreated to the edge of the cliff. I looked at the sarcophagus nervously, but at this time I saw a figure slowly crawling out of the sarcophagus.

I wondered when I found that the figure was so familiar to me. When I looked closely, I was immediately scared and shivered. Because I saw that the person crawling out of the sarcophagus was me.

I was frightened by this and suddenly woke up and opened my eyes. I calmed down and turned to see that it was already bright outside the window. I sat up from the bed and felt much better. I touched my forehead and it should be no longer a fever. However, due to constant cold sweats, my hair was wet as if it had just been rained. In addition, I had sweat last night and my body was sticky and uncomfortable.

I got up and went straight to the bathroom to take a hot shower. Due to the fact that I had just woken up and the fever last night, my body was weak. I felt a little dizzy when I was halfway through the hot shower. I gritted my teeth and washed the shower gel on my body, and fell on the bed again. The ceiling kept spinning above my head. I felt so dizzy that I had no choice but to close my eyes.

After a while, I barely opened my eyes. I felt in my heart that I had suffered a lot this time. Is this the retribution I suffered after the previous fights that damaged my good deeds and suffered?
