Chapter 314 (1/2)
All the way, they quickly found a secret cave. There didn't seem to be any strange place from the outside. What did Sai Huatuo want to do here? Several people were puzzled and looked inside at each other.
”What should I do now?” after all, the people inside were masters. Yan Xiaoxi couldn't take his attention and looked at the two people around him.
”Wait, or go in?” Wan Sihan turned his head and handed over the decision to Nangong Lin.
Nangong Lin looked dignified and calmly spit out a word, ”wait.”
Now is not the best time to catch the thief and take the stolen goods. If the evidence is conclusive, the other party can't deny it. Don't be impatient. It's better to observe in situ and make a decision.
Nangong Lin knows Yan Xiaoxi's inner anxiety. Because of this, he can't panic and face everything calmly.
Several people held their breath and were careful for fear of startling the snake.
In the cave, oil lamps are lit around. In the deepest place, there is a long stone step stretched out. On the grass mat, there is an old man with white hair and over a hundred years old lying on the grass mat. With bright eyes looking at the direction of the door and seeing the familiar figure, he immediately relaxed his vigilance.
”Coming.” the old man coughed a few times.
”Don't get up and have a good rest.” Sai Huatuo ran over and held the old man down.
”Are you better?” the old man cared about saihuatuo's body as soon as he opened his mouth, and knew that he had suffered an internal injury.
”It's all right.” Sai Huatuo said perfunctorily, as if he didn't want the old man to worry.
”You are always like this. You are desperate for her.” the old man's tone is full of helplessness.
”I'm sorry.” Sai Huatuo apologized.
”I won't listen to any advice, although I hope Xi'er is good, and I can't bear to see you hurt.” the old man held Sai Huatuo's hand tightly.
”I promise you, this is the last time.” Sai Huatuo made an absolute decision. As long as he cured the toxin in Yan Xiaoxi's body, he would let go and never ask her again.
In fact, she didn't need to worry for a long time. He couldn't help it.
”Help me out for a walk,” said the old man, lifting the quilt.
Sai Huatuo did not stop him. He took the old man's hand and reminded him, ”be careful.”
”I've lived here for decades in the blink of an eye,” the old man said with emotion.
”Why don't you leave?” Sai Huatuo asked him to leave countless times. He refused. He firmly told him that it's the same everywhere. At least he and the girl are here. Sai Huatuo was speechless. He knew that he was always stubborn and couldn't listen to anyone's persuasion, so he had to give up.
Time flies. Yan Xiaoxi grows into a graceful girl and marries as a wife. His body is getting weaker and weaker. He is often bedridden. Sometimes Sai Huatuo feels that he is a doctor and can't cure the two people he cares about most.
”The sunshine outside is good.” the old man knows his body. He doesn't have much time. He has long ignored life and death and is not afraid of death. The only thing he can't let go is saihuatuo in front of him.
He was so bitter that he was wrong from the beginning!
This was the most wrong decision he had ever made. He personally pushed saihuatuo onto the cliff, but he couldn't pull it up.
”It's all over. Don't blame yourself.” Sai Huatuo was relieved to know that the old man was thinking about it again. He never blamed anyone.
Sai Huatuo helped the old man out of the cave step by step. It was sunny and white clouds were blooming outside.
