Zhang Xiaozu was lying on the bed and looking at the roof, his eyes blank and his mind in a trance.
Behind him, Qi Yoyo was lying with her eyes closed, her face pale, and she had not yet woken up from her coma.
Zhang Xiaozhu felt that he had had a dream, a very long dream. Everything he had experienced from birth to growing up was replayed in this dream.
Hearing the call in his ear, he gradually woke up from his dazed consciousness. He turned his head and his eyes fell on the old woman sitting by the bed. Seeing that she was crying, he quickly sat up and asked with concern: "Grandma, why are you crying?"
This "grandma" call was very natural, because in his long dream, the old woman was his kind grandma, and she occupied a large part of the dream, so she felt very close to him.
"Grandma is fine. Grandma saw you woke up and cried with joy." The old woman raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Zhang Xiaozhu was at a loss when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "I...what's wrong with me?"
But before the old woman could answer, a tragic battle scene suddenly broke into his memory, scaring him so hard that he turned pale for a moment.
He remembered.
He, his uncle, cousin and others went to the Demon City to slay demons and avenge his grandfather, father and other relatives who were killed by the Demon King. However, they were not strong enough and were ultimately defeated by the Demon King.
His sternum was broken by the devil and he passed out on the spot.
His sternum, which was still aching, told him of the brutality of that battle.
"My dear grandson, don't you remember?" the old woman asked without answering.
"I remembered." Zhang Xiaozhu nodded with a painful expression, then turned to look at the inside of the bed and found Qi Yoyo who was still sleeping. He quickly put his hand into the quilt and took Qi Yoyo's pulse.
After checking her injuries and finding that her life was not in danger, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Grandma, uncle, cousin, cousin-in-law, and Xiaobai, Xiaohei and Xiaoqing, are they...all okay?"
He felt uneasy, afraid of hearing bad news.
The old woman reached out and patted Zhang Xiaozu's nervous hand, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, they are all seriously injured like you, but they are also very lucky and have no life-threatening problems."
Zhang Xiaozu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, relieved his anxious heart, and said happily: "That's good, that's good, thank God for blessing!"
"My dear grandson, lie down quickly. The wound on your chest has not healed yet. It will probably take a few more days." The old woman stretched out her hand to help Zhang Xiaopou, trying to get him to lie down again.
Zhang Xiaopou lay down, recalling the revenge that ended in disastrous failure, and said sadly: "Grandma, we let you down, we failed to kill the devil to avenge our relatives!"
"It's okay, take your time."
"Ten years is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. You are still very young. One day you will be able to chop off the devil's head, avenge your tragically killed relatives, and pay homage to their dead souls!"
The old woman comforted her.
"Yes, it will definitely happen one day!" Zhang Xiaozu looked at the roof, clenched his fists, and said with extremely firm eyes.
In his memory, the Niu family was a big family that once ruled a place and lived a very wealthy and comfortable life. But suddenly one day the devil led his army to attack, and no grass grew wherever he went.
The Niu family was not spared either. Hundreds of relatives were massacred. His father, mother and grandfather were all killed by the devil. Only a few of them escaped death and hid themselves to eke out a living.
However, they did not fear the terror of the Demon King and did not forget their hatred. Instead, they practiced hard every day and took revenge as their duty.
However, this disastrous defeat told him that they were still too impatient and underestimated the Demon King's strength. They still needed to practice harder and have stronger strength.
"mother--"
A call came from outside the window, interrupting Zhang Xiaozu's thoughts.
When the old woman heard the sound, she stood up from the bed and said happily: "It's your uncle who's woken up. Grandma went to see him."
"Well, okay." Zhang Xiaozu responded.
After the old woman left, Zhang Xiaozu turned around and observed the furnishings of the room. This was his and Qi Yoyo's bedroom. All the furnishings in the room were very familiar, but he frowned, feeling an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.
Something seemed to be wrong, but for a moment he couldn't tell what was wrong.
It made him very uncomfortable.
Just as he was trying to figure out what was wrong, the old woman came in with a bowl of steaming, fragrant soup and said, "My dear grandson, grandma has cooked Shiquan Dabu Soup for you. Hurry up."
Drink it while it's hot, it will be of great help to your recovery from injury."
Zhang Xiaozu immediately sat up and reached out to take the soup bowl from the old woman's hand. The tangy fragrance made his mouth water and the greedy food in his stomach was aroused, but he resisted the desire to drink and said: "Grandma
, my injury is not serious anymore, I’d better give this Shiquan Dabu Decoction to Yoyo.”
The old woman smiled and said: "Haha, each of you has one. You drink it first, and grandma will go and get a bowl for Yoyo, but you have to feed it to her. Your cousin and cousin-in-law haven't woken up yet, so grandma has to go.
Feed them medicine."
"Thank you for your hard work."
"What's the point in boiling and feeding medicine? Just drink it quickly. The medicine won't be as effective when it's cold."
"Um"
Zhang Xiaozu held the bowl, raised his head and drank a large bowl of soup in one go. After finishing the drink, he smacked his lips with unfinished content. He handed the bowl back and praised: "Grandma, your soup-making skills are really amazing.
It tastes so good that I almost swallowed it with my tongue."
"That's because you are so hungry that everything you eat tastes delicious."
The old woman smiled and said, then left with the medicine bowl. After a while, she brought back a large bowl and ordered Zhang Xiaozu to feed Qi Yoyo and drink it.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Zhang Xiaozu took the big bowl and watched the old woman leave. When he looked back, he glanced around the room and found that the strange feeling in his heart had disappeared. Everything in the room was familiar and there was nothing wrong.
"Maybe it's because I've been asleep for too long." Zhang Xiaozhu muttered to himself.
He was holding the soup bowl and his eyes fell on Qi Yoyo. He was about to feed her with a small spoon when he suddenly saw her opening her eyes and waking up. He immediately shouted happily: "Daughter-in-law, you're awake, it's great!"
After Qi Yoyo woke up, she was also at a loss.
She also had a long, long dream, which was similar to Zhang Xiaozu's. The only difference was the part before she married Zhang Xiaozu.
Hearing Zhang Xiaozu's call, her vague consciousness gradually woke up. She turned to look at Zhang Xiaozu and asked, "Husband, have I been asleep for a long time?"
"Well, yes." Zhang Xiaozu nodded.
"I had a long, long dream. I dreamed about everything I went through from childhood to adulthood. It was very real, as if I was living my life all over again." Qi Yoyo said.
Zhang Xiaozhu couldn't help being surprised when he heard this: "Me too, I also had a long dream when I was in a coma. It was also very real. It felt like I was living again."
"But we were injured too badly and we all went to hell, so we looked back at all the experiences we had during our lives." Qi Yoyo guessed.
Zhang Xiaozhu nodded and said: "Drink the medicine quickly. This medicine was made by grandma. It's called Shiquan Dabu Decoction. It's really effective. My chest was still hurting just now. After drinking this medicine, the pain disappeared immediately."
Come on. Oh, just lie down and don’t move, I’ll feed you.”
"Thank you, husband." Qi Yoyo's cheeks were slightly red and she looked a little shy.
In another room, Niu Dawa and Jin Zhihui also woke up one after another, and the three beasts in the yard, the white tiger, the sky turtle and the soaring snake, also woke up one after another.
When they first woke up, they all felt a little confused and had a somewhat weird feeling, but after drinking a bowl of Shiquan Dabu Decoction, all the weird feelings disappeared.
After lying in bed for another two days to recuperate, taking three bowls of Shiquan Dabu Decoction a day, the injuries of Zhang Xiaopou and others were finally healed.
"Although you were defeated this time and failed to kill the Demon King to take revenge, it is not without gain. On the contrary, you gained greatly because you grabbed this."
The old woman called Zhang Xiaopou and others together, and then placed the purple godhead in front of them.
