"Okay, that's it for today. Lu Ya and I are going to close the door, and you two are getting ready to go to bed." Hua Ling waved her hand and took Lu Ya downstairs with her.
Yin Mu said in a long voice: "Okay -" then turned around and said to Xie Feng with a smile: "Dear brother, will you sleep with dad again because of fear~"
Xie Feng's face turned red: "Sister!"
"Okay, okay, I'm going, I'm going -"
At midnight that night, Xie Feng knocked on Hua Ling's door because of fear. Holding the air conditioner, he looked at Hua Ling who opened the door with frustration: "Dad, I'm afraid."
Hua Ling rubbed Xie Feng's cheek lovingly: "Come in, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Xie Feng held Hua Ling's arm and fell asleep.
"Hey, look who this is?"
Xie Feng opened his eyes suddenly and saw a man he had never seen before. The man had some stubble, wore a hair tie, and wore an ancient robe.
Xie Feng backed away in fear, instinctively feeling that the man in front of him was not easy to mess with.
The man pulled Xie Feng over and said with a smile: "A Feng, why are you running?"
Xie Feng was stunned: "A Feng? How do you know my name has Feng in it?"
The man laughed loudly and put his arm around Xie Feng's shoulders: "Because in your previous life, you were called Huafeng, the flower of flowers, and the maple of maple leaves."
"My harvest is a harvest, and what does the past life mean?" Xie Feng couldn't break free from the man's arms, and was taken into a white place by him.
The man introduced himself: "My name is Hua Mu, and I am your father in the previous life. Come with me, and I will take you to reminisce."
The man named Hua Mu didn't do anything to Xie Feng. He just took him to see some memory fragments and reviewed his "previous life". When he saw someone, Xie Feng was stunned and stopped next to the image.
Hua Mu smiled after seeing where Xie Feng stopped, but the smile looked very sad. He introduced to Xie Feng: "This is your imperial sister Hua Ling, a... god."
"She abandoned you?" Xie Feng reached out to touch the image and asked.
"No, she was abandoned by this world."
"But she said the curse is eternal. Doesn't that mean she can do whatever she wants?"
"She wouldn't do that. She is my daughter."
"But she was also someone else's daughter."
"Alas..." Hua Mu couldn't help Xie Feng, so he shook his head and let it go.
Xie Feng was silent for a long time, and then asked: "She became a man and accepted the curse of eternal life. She...lived until now?"
"right."
After getting an affirmative answer, Xie Feng frowned and looked at Hua Mu: "Is she by my side? My sister from my previous life is by my side?"
"……yes."
The questions came one after another, and Xie Feng gradually started to cry: "Is it my current father, Hua Ling?"
Hua Mu pursed her lips and trembled, but nodded.
The tears in Xie Feng's eyes couldn't be held back, and there were tears streaming down his face: "She...did he know that I was the reincarnation when he rescued me from the flood? Why didn't he tell me? Why didn't he save my biological father and mother even though he had divine power?"
"I think he doesn't know. He doesn't say it naturally because it's not necessary. As for why he doesn't save..." Huamu paused and sighed, "Child, there is no real best of both worlds in this world."
"Why not? I can practice my body and guitar well!"
"This is different."
"What's different?"
Hua Mu and Xie Feng looked at each other for a moment, then with a wave of his sleeves, the scene in front of Xie Feng changed.
The surrounding area turned into a scene that Xie Feng had only seen in photos, a scene from that year's flood. Xie Feng was sitting on a kayak. There was another man on the kayak, who seemed to have just been rescued from the water.
"Hua Ling, someone is asking for help over there!"
Lu Ya's voice came from Xie Feng's ears. Following Lu Ya's direction, Xie Feng saw his parents who had lifted up his childhood self and Yin Mu and submerged themselves in the water.
Lu Ya and Xie Feng hurriedly rowed over. Yin Mu saw the two kayaks coming towards him and waved to them so that they could see him better.
In fact, the two kayaks could not accommodate five people and two children, and after rescuing the two children, the woman underwater seemed to be entangled in something.
When Lu Ya pulled her toward the kayak, he couldn't use too much force because he was worried about it turning over, but the woman was crying out in pain.
Xie Feng's attention was focused on the two people. He just wanted to rescue them quickly, but suddenly he heard what Hua Ling said: "The water surface is blood red. This woman's body was injured when she was soaked in the water!"
Xie Feng was stunned and looked at the water for a long time before he saw a touch of red in the turbid water.
Hua Ling is the leader who observes the overall situation. Xie Feng thought of Hua Ling's past that he saw in the memories.
"What should we do!?" Lu Ya looked at Xie Feng with fear.
Xie Feng was stunned by Lu Ya's expression: Don't, don't look at me like that, how do I know...
Hua Ling said: "Rescue men, if you can save them, they are worth it!"
"No, no." After being in the water for too long, both of their voices were trembling, and their eyes looking at Hua Ling and Lu Ya were blurry, "Just save our child, we agreed until death."
Separate, thank you, can I ask for your name..."
"Hua Ling." "Lu Ya."
Xie Feng grabbed the man's hand, but he felt stuck in his throat when he wanted to speak. His eyes were moist, but the man let go of the hand: "Our child, I leave it to you, Hua Ling..."
The man and woman hugged each other and finally sank into the water. Until the last moment, they used themselves to give each other warmth.
Xie Feng cried and burst into tears.
Maybe it was because he understood the feelings between his parents, and also understood that Hua Ling did not save the two of them directly in order not to expose himself.
Hua Ling raised Xie Feng and Yin Mu, perhaps because he heard that they handed over their children to him, or perhaps because he felt guilty for not saving them.
But actually that doesn't matter.
Because Hua Ling took good care of Xie Feng and Yin Mu, Xie Feng was real and liked Hua Ling and Lu Ya before he knew these things.
After Yin Mu entered high school, he often teased Hua Ling about having a father and no mother, and asked Lu Ya why he didn't find a girlfriend.
Hua Ling's answer to Yin Mu is: Hua Ling and Lu Ya are enough to take care of them.
Lu Ya is like a believer, following his faith - Hua Ling.
Xie Feng's understanding of Hua Ling and Lu Ya was that they were family members with different surnames like Yin Mu and himself. However, after seeing those memories, Xie Feng learned that Lu Ya was the mythical three-legged golden crow and was following Hua Ling.
, like a believer, a loyal minister.
In reality, Xie Feng was crying, sobbing nonstop, and his tears wet the pillow and quilt.
Hua Ling put her hand on Xie Feng's shoulder, shook it, and called softly: "A Feng, A Feng? Wake up, get up."
After Xie Feng opened his eyes, he saw Hua Ling's figure with his back to the window. The sun shone on Hua Ling's back. In Xie Feng's eyes, Hua Ling was now inlaid with a pale golden frame.
After Xie Feng stood up, he threw himself into Hua Ling's arms, hugged him, and buried his face in Hua Ling's chest: "I dreamed about...the flood, it was so scary...they sank..."
Hua Ling stroked the back of Xie Feng's head with one hand and put another hand on his back: "It's okay. It's all over. Everything is fine now."
"Without my father and uncle, I would have died, and so would my sister. It was you who gave us a second life..."
