"Um?"

Li Xiaolang woke up from the bed and looked around with a blank expression.

"Why am I here..."

Looking at the familiar furniture around him, Li Xiaolang held his head and tried hard to recall what had happened before. After a moment, his expression changed drastically, and he looked down at his broken legs.

"Wife, are you here!"

He noticed his broken legs and instantly "recalled" something that happened before. He shouted loudly with an anxious look, wanting to confirm the safety of his family first.

Soon, a woman rushed into the room.

"Xiaolang! You're awake!"

Her eyes were full of surprise and she quickly helped her husband up. Then, she turned around and pushed a four-wheeler from outside the door, trying to place Li Xiaolang on it.

Li Xiaolang looked anxious and asked hurriedly: "Wife, where is Li Dalang? How is he liked him?"

His wife was stunned at first, then shook her head with a sad expression and said nothing. Seeing this, Li Xiaolang's expression changed drastically, his face turned pale, and his eyes instantly moist.

He collapsed on the four-wheeler and muttered to himself, incredible: "Brother..."

Li Xiaolang's wife sighed deeply, her eyes dim: "Xiaolang, let's go out first... The city lord has something to come to us."

After saying that, she pushed up the four-wheeler.

Li Xiaolang, who was in a daze, had a dull look and had no response when he sat in a wheelchair.

His lips opened slightly and murmured to himself.

"how so……"

...

In the flood city.

As the sun sets, countless people hang colorful lanterns and ribbons, which are very lively.

On the street, Li Xiaolang sat on a four-wheeler looking at the sunset, frowned tightly, and looked melancholy. The memory fragments in his mind were a little messy. He shook his head, but he still felt his head was drowsy...

——I always feel that there are many important things that I have forgotten.

After a pause, he glanced at the melancholy in his eyes and looked at the joyful look of the passers-by nearby with lights and decorations, and was very surprised.

"Wife, what's wrong with them..."

In the city, there was a festive atmosphere and everyone was smiling. Their behavior was like a big happy event in Hongshui City!

Li Xiaolang frowned slightly, and a sense of doubt continued to arise in his heart.

Just as his wife was about to speak, a passerby came over and interrupted her words to blurt out.

I saw this passerby looking at Li Xiaolang, rubbing his eyes, his face full of disbelief. After recognizing Li Xiaolang, he immediately exclaimed:

"Look! It's Li Xianren's younger brother!"

His exclamation was like water falling into a pan of oil, which directly detonated the atmosphere nearby! Countless people put down what was in their hands after hearing the sound and rushed over. They looked excited, their eyes were full of respect, and they were in an uproar!

"What? He is Li Xianren's younger brother!?..."

"He is the brother of the hero who saved everyone in our city?"

"Is it really him?..."

Li Xiaolang, sitting on the four-wheeler, looked at the crowd, feeling a little at a loss and a confused face.

After scanning the surroundings, the respect on people's faces was revealed without any concealment, which made the doubts in his heart thicker again.

He remembered that he didn't seem to have done anything.

Frowning, he closed his eyes and began to try to recall what happened before he lost consciousness. Before he could recall it, the crowd suddenly dispersed and left a space.

Not far away, a middle-aged man wearing a blue and soft satin robe walked slowly towards him, accompanied by an old man with a high temple bulging.

He Jian Yu Xing's eyebrows and the blue-patterned belt tied around his waist highlighted his extraordinary identity. He was calm and steady, and his confidence was directly revealed...

——The Lord of Hongshui City!

Li Xiaolang's eyes froze, and he looked at the city lord who was walking towards him without saying a word. Under his surprised gaze, the big man actually came directly to his wheelchair and bowed deeply!

"Thank you brother for everything you have done for Hongshuicheng!..."

The city lord took the lead in bowing. The onlookers were stunned at first, then they all bent down, their faces were full of gratitude, and they shouted sincere words to express their gratitude.

"Thank you!...The Great Hero..."

...

In the attic, three people gathered at the table.

"At that time, a pillar of light soared into the sky, and the world changed color... The people in the city were simply scared!"

The city lord recalled the situation at that time and was still scared.

Not long after chatting, the city lord's follower, the old man, brought a purple clay pot and served the three of them with excellent tea.

The city lord's eyes turned to Li Xiaolang's wife.

"According to what you said, there was a monster fighting Li Xianren outside the city?"

Li Xiaolang's wife nodded with complicated eyes.

"Yes, that monster is so terrifying that it ruined Xiaolang's legs in an instant!

In the end, Li Xianren fought to the death and finally got rid of the terrifying monster... But he also died because of his serious injuries and was buried by us in the maple forest."

The lord of Hongshuicheng took a breath and shook his head sighingly: "If it weren't for Li Xianren, our Hongshuicheng would probably be over..."

Listening to the conversation between the two, the confusion in Li Xiaolang's eyes was gradually dispelled, and the Qingming Festival was full of lunar month:

"I remembered it!"

With Li Xiaolang's scream, tears in his eyes unknowingly slid.

——He finally "recalled"!

In his "memory", he was drinking in front of his father's tombstone outside the city, but a terrifying monster suddenly appeared outside the city!

The monster was extremely terrifying, and his legs were destroyed with a wave of his hand! After Li Dalang noticed something strange outside the city, he hurried to get rid of the monster.

Finally, Li Dalang rushed to fight the monsters to the death, and finally got rid of the monsters! However, after the battle, he was too seriously injured and eventually died in the forest. He was buried next to his father's tombstone by himself and his wife.

I was also distraught in the forest because of my grief.

...

...

It's getting late.

Among the maple forest, in front of the tombstone.

Li Xiaolang sat on the four-wheeler, holding a pot of wine.

"The city lord said that he would hold a grand commemorative parade to send out heroic souls... Xiaolang, it's too late, let's go back quickly!"

Li Xiaolang's wife looked at her husband with complicated eyes. She bit her lip tightly, worried that Li Xiaolang, who was in a state of unstable mental state.

Li Xiaolang just looked at the two tombstones in front of him with drunken eyes, his lips trembling and muttering, as if he was saying something.

“…Why… have you all left?…”

Some vague fragments in my memory became increasingly blurred. Li Xiaolang just thought it was a sequelae left by his grief and did not think much about it.

I drank a big sip of wine, and the wine kept spilling from the corners of my mouth.

In an instant, the middle-aged man with both legs wasted, stretched out his hands amid his wife's screams, left the four-wheeler and sat heavily on the ground!

I saw him change his listless appearance and his expression became excited! Finally, in a roar of unwillingness, he lay directly on the ground.

"Why...all left!!!"

The roar echoed among the maple forest, and suddenly a group of birds were startled, and countless "rustling" sounds sounded around.

Of course, no one can answer him.

Li Xiaolang lay weakly on the ground, wrapped his clothes tightly, curled up his body, squinted his eyes. He didn't turn his head, and asked in a daze:

"Do you know about wife...

Li Dalang,

Really a trustless guy!

I remember when he said he wanted to take us to travel around the mountains and rivers!

Why now...

Just regret it?"

Li Xiaolang suddenly supported his arms, sat up, and crawled towards his brother's tombstone with his frown. The wine in the pot spilled all over the ground, and the maple leaves on the ground were stained with wine.

"...I remember...he also said he would always protect me..."
To be continued...
