The patter of spring rain fell.

There are tree flowers that have misidentified the season, and bright red flower buds bloom rashly on the dry branches.

A few days later, Lin Mao finally woke up from the coma after the serious injury. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the unidentifiable tree flower behind the opened pane.

Before you know it, winter has passed and spring has come...

It was a thought that came to his mind.

Lin Mao slowly sat up from the bed, this action caused a sharp pain in his right arm.

"Well……"

Lin Mao couldn't help snorting. He lowered his head and looked at his arm, only to see that his arm was wrapped with a thick bandage, and a bitter aura of Jinchuang Medicine came to his nostrils.

Lin Mao slowly tore off a corner of the bandage with a blank expression, revealing the horrific black and red flesh under the bandage.

This injury is not terrible for ordinary people, but Lin Mao is very sure in his heart, I am afraid that it will not be long before this seemingly terrifying scar will fade away quickly.

He will recover quickly, and as he did many times in the past, he will return to that stunning young man with an overpowering look.

This is not to say that the damage caused to him by the magic lamp is not serious enough.You know, that is a mechanism that can make old man Qianji lose all his combat power in an instant. If he is not empty, he may have already returned to reincarnation by this time.

Although according to Lin Mao's thinking, if this can pass away, it will be...

That's the best ending.

"crunch-"

Someone pushed open the door of the room.

"Guzhu Lin... are you awake?"

The person who spoke was none other than Red Peony, the Lord of Hundred Flowers.I saw that she was still in the same red dress, but she looked extremely haggard and tired, completely different from the previous gorgeous and unruly appearance.

Seeing Lin Mao sitting on the bed, she seemed a little overwhelmed and asked a silly question.

"..."

Lin Mao looked up at her, intending to say hello, but for some reason, the deep sense of burnout filled every one of his meridians, making him unable to even say such a simple hello.

He was so slack and silent, but the red peony didn't seem to care.Almost ecstatically, she ran towards Lin Mao, bent down and wanted to feel Lin Mao's pulse, but when she reached the bedside, she suddenly thought of something, and abruptly stopped that reckless movement.

"Guzhu Lin, you finally woke up!"

Saying the same thing twice should have seemed a little stupid.But the red peony at this time will never give people such a feeling.She stared at Lin Mao with her phoenix eyes open, as if she was about to shed tears in the next second.

"At first, I thought... I couldn't catch up..."

Red Peony's lips trembled slightly, and it took a long time before she said something in a low voice.Even though she was ecstatic just a moment ago, at this moment, there was a strong sadness on her face.

Lin Mao felt something in his heart, doubts gradually condensed in his chaotic pupils, then he slowly raised his head and met Hong Mudan's gaze.

"Master Gong, he, he has been waiting for you." Red Peony whispered sadly, her hands unconsciously grabbed the bedding beside the bed, and then tried to calm down, explaining to Lin Mao, "Master Lin, I also invite you to go and have a look at him, that's all right, Palace Master, his last wish."

Gong Ningzi is still alive?

Lin Mao was finally moved when he heard the news.

It turned out that Gong Ningzi was stripped from his body by the old man Qianji on that day, and he was seriously injured to the point of death.But I don't know whether to say that he is lucky or not, because his inner strength is extremely deep, and during the time he was in charge of the government, he took a lot of rare elixir, which actually delayed his life like a gossamer, and kept going. The people from Chizheng's mansion arrived and rescued him.

After arriving at Chizheng Mansion, everyone saw Gong Ningzi's horrific injuries and felt that he might die soon.

But what I didn't expect was that Gong Ningzi was lying on the bed bleeding continuously, but suddenly opened his eyes in the middle of the night, stared at the person beside the bed, and asked calmly if Lin Mao was out of danger. Lin Mao had already been brought back to Chizheng Mansion with him, but after he fell into a coma due to serious injuries, a faint smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Gong Ningzi's mouth.

It's just that the smile was fleeting, and Gong Ningzi quickly recovered his expressionless face.

The astonishing thing happened like this. The people around Gong Ningzi's bed all saw him turn his head and look somewhere, and then said softly: "You wait here first, then I'll wait for him to wake up and see him before leaving."

Gong Ningzi said lightly, but his tone was as unquestionable as ever. It was not a plea, but some kind of order.

But the direction he was staring at was empty——

At that moment, everyone in the room couldn't help but shiver.

Gong Ningzi, who is he saying this to?

Could it be that...

Everyone in the room didn't dare to think too much because they were afraid that their wild thoughts would disturb that disrespectful existence.

I don't know if it's because of Gong Ningzi's thought, and there are several famous doctors in Chizheng's mansion, who have worked hard for him, and finally took medicine soup as a bath, which prolongs Gong Ningzi's life for a few more days .

It's just that in the past two days, seeing Gong Ningzi's breath getting weaker and weaker every moment, his face became more and more gray.

Everyone knew it well: I am afraid that no matter how strong Gong Ningzi's will is, she will not be able to delay the destiny after all.And the reason why Hong Mudan came to check on Lin Mao was because she planned to ignore him and bring him to Gong Ningzi's side, so that Gong Ningzi could take a look at the person she was thinking about in the end.

Unexpectedly, at this very moment, Lin Mao woke up unexpectedly, and it seemed that there was no serious problem.

Gong Ningzi was finally able to fulfill a wish before she died, to meet her most beloved person... This is really a great thing, but how could this "good thing" not make Hong Mudan burst into tears and feel sad? unceasingly

After Lin Mao heard Hong Mudan's explanation, his expressionless face finally moved a little, and he finally seemed to have a little popularity.

"I'm going to see him."

Lin Mao said very slowly.

If it was Red Peony who was as alert as before, she might have noticed something strange in Lin Mao's expression at this time.But Gong Ningzi's time was approaching, and she was so restless, how could she detect the slightest ailment in Lin Mao's body.

And because Lin Mao was extremely weak and unable to move, she didn't care too much, so she hugged Lin Mao horizontally and wanted to rush out the door.

But as soon as she hugged Lin Mao in her arms, Hong Mudan couldn't help being taken aback.

so light——

She hugged Lin Mao, not like hugging a living person, but more like hugging a handful of light dry wood.

Can such a big person be so light?

A hint of doubt flitted through Hong Mudan's heart, but she never cared about it.

Lin Mao also didn't seem to care about himself at all, and it was wrong to be held in the arms of a woman like this.

From the beginning to the end, he seemed a little dazed, as if half of his soul was still trapped in a dream and never woke up.

"My apprentice, Xiaoqing, he..."

On the way, Lin Mao suddenly asked in a low voice.

Without thinking, Hong Mudan replied: "Chang Daxia is seriously injured, and he hasn't woken up yet."

As soon as the words fell, Hong Mudan suddenly seemed a little stiff, and then added: "However, Chang Xiaoqing has deep internal strength, although the injury is serious, but there is no danger of life, please invite Lin Guzhu..."

"I know."

Lin Mao interrupted Hong Mudan softly, and asked, "Are the other people present at that time okay?"

"other people?"

But Hong Peony couldn't help but ask back.

Lin Mao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing..."

Red Peony's reaction proved that Yao Xianxian and Jia Ruo had already left after Chizheng Mansion arrived.

That's all very well.

Lin Mao thought this way in his heart, he quietly huddled in the arms of Red Peony, looking more like a delicate doll than a living person.

Red Peony was lucky, and she was familiar with the way in the courtyard of Chizheng Mansion, but after a few turns, she led Lin Mao to Gong Ningzi's study.

In the past few days, Gong Ningzi has been living here to prolong his life.

There was no guard at the door of the study courtyard, but there were a few bright figures lingering outside the door, not daring to enter.

Lin Mao naturally ignored those people, but Hong Mudan couldn't help but take a second look.

I saw that those people were divided into two groups.

The leader of one group of people turned out to be Bai Ruolin. In just a few days, Bai Ruolin was already so thin that he lost his shape, and his expression was even more frightened like a bereaved dog.Even the few entourages who followed him looked sickly, with a look of panic and undecided.Obviously, even if Gong Ningzi was seriously injured and died, after coming out of the underground palace, he still took care of Bai Ruolin, which made him so frightened.

As for the other group of people, their expressions were different.

The leader of those people was Princess Yongtong, she was also extremely haggard and tired, unable to hide the sadness in her expression.It was probably because Gong Ningzi had clearly ordered her not to visit inside, so she led a group of people around the gate like headless chickens, and happened to meet Bai Ruolin.

The two sides were fighting in chaos immediately, and there was a faint sense of desolation that the building was about to collapse.

And Hong Mudan just glanced at those two groups of people, and didn't want to get entangled with them—although her figure immediately attracted the attention of the two parties, but whether it was Bai Ruolin or Princess Yongtong, when they saw her At that moment, all attention was attracted by Lin Mao in her arms.

"Red girl, that person—"

Princess Yongtong looked at Lin Mao's exposed side face in shock, obviously intending to pester her, but she said "Red Girl", but the second half of the sentence seemed to be stuck in her throat, and she couldn't get it out.

who's that person?

Why did you bring him into Gong Lang's yard?

……

There were obviously so many questions, but the moment he saw Lin Mao, all the questions suddenly had answers.

And Princess Yongtong was able to make a sound, but Bai Ruolin, who was beside her, couldn't even make a sound.

Lin Mao didn't see him.

In fact, Lin Mao didn't even look at Bai Ruolin or Princess Yongtong at all, but after discovering that the person in Red Peony's arms was Lin Mao, Bai Ruolin still felt a cold and sharp thorn, so mercilessly Poke his heart.

He almost wanted to just melt into the sunlight, just wishing not to live with Lin Mao for the rest of his life.

Hong Mudan glanced at him coldly, the extreme disgust could not be concealed in her eyes.

She ignored neither Bai Ruolin nor Yongtong, and walked straight past the two into the courtyard.

The door full of deadly traps closed quickly behind her, and what came with the wind was a sharp ridicule from Princess Yongtong——

"Hahaha, Bai Ruolin... you actually have the face to call that name..."

Hong Mudan lowered her eyes, Bai Ruolin is in such a mess now, she should be very happy.Who knew that in the face of Gong Ningzi's imminent death, these things would be like dust in the wind, so she wouldn't be moved at all?

Thinking of this, Hong Mudan couldn't help but look down at Lin Mao in her arms.

She is already in this mood just because her best friend is dying. Now that she is in her arms, what is she thinking in her heart?

While thinking like this, Red Peony hugged Lin Mao, and hurriedly jumped into Gong Ningzi's dark and damp study room full of medicine.

In the corner of the study, there is a jade basin, which looks like the size of a bathtub used for bathing children in ordinary people's homes, but Gong Ningzi's whole body is now completely immersed in the medicinal liquid contained in the jade basin. In the middle, only one head was exposed, leaning obliquely against the edge of the jade basin.

The jade basin was bluish-white in quality, but Gong Ningzi's cheek was pressed against the basin wall, and the color was even more grayish than the jade basin.

"Gong Ningzi!"

Seeing Gong Ningzi's appearance, Hong Mudan couldn't help crying out.

After hearing her voice, Gong Ningzi's eyelids fluttered slightly, and finally opened his eyes slowly - Lin Mao was so close to the red peony, so he naturally noticed that the red peony saw Gong Ningzi open his eyes, frantically His heartbeat calmed down.

Thinking about the moment when she saw Gong Ningzi before coming here, even if she was so close to Ruhong Peony, she thought that Gong Ningzi could not last until Lin Mao's arrival.

"Ning Zi..."

Seeing Gong Ningzi like this, Lin Mao couldn't help calling out in a low voice.

It was just such a low voice that made Gong Ningzi's eyes widen suddenly, as if all the energy returned to him in an instant.

He stared at Lin Mao who was close at hand, his eyes were focused and clear.

"Cat."

He called out, obviously his voice was hoarse and dry, and he had almost discerned the syllables, but at this time everyone in the study room could hear the joy and satisfaction contained in this low call.

"You came."

"I am coming."

Lin Mao responded.

He motioned for Red Peony to put him on the soft chair beside the jade basin.

No need for more instructions, the guards and the doctor in the bright and dark parts of the study all exited the study at the same time under Hong Mudan's signal.

In just a short moment, only Lin Mao and Gong Ningzi were left in the room.

Probably because of this, Gong Ningzi looked happy, and his spirit and complexion were very different from his dying appearance before. If he had to say something, he seemed to be in good spirits.

It's just that Lin Mao looked at Gong Ningzi like this, but his heart was clear.

Here is the so-called flashback.

"It's good to meet you again."

It happened to be such a precious last-minute meeting, but Gong Ningzi looked extraordinarily stupid and clumsy.

He just stared at Lin Mao blankly with a smirk.

"You're fine, I'm happy."

he said.

Lin Mao looked at him very slowly, and a faint smile appeared on his wooden face.

"At this time, what are you talking about...I'm Konghua, so I'll be fine." Lin Mao looked at Gong Ningzi with soft eyes, "And you will be happy when you see me. "

"It can't be helped, I will become a little silly when I see you."

Gong Ningzi grinned and said.

At this moment, he doesn't look like a generation of counselors who used to be in power, and then suffered trauma and are now dying. On the contrary, he looks more like a country boy who meets his sweetheart for the first time.

Lin Mao looked at him, and in a trance, the little beggar with a muddy face but bright eyes many, many years ago appeared in front of his eyes.

Their smiles slowly overlapped.

After many days, Lin Mao finally found that his heart was still beating inside his body...

Because he found that he still felt heartbroken.

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have been angry for so long." Lin Mao stretched out his hand, and stroked Gong Ningzi's cold face, "Actually, everything is over long ago, right, Ah Zi."

Gong Ningzi seemed to tremble after hearing the last call.

He was obviously really happy, every strand of hair, every remaining piece of skin was silently expressing his happiness at this moment.

But there were tears, slowly falling down the corners of his eyes.

"Cat, you finally... called me that again..."

Gong Ningzi's eyes became uncontrollably distracted, and her voice gradually weakened.

"In the future...don't be so...get angry easily, okay..."

Gong Ningzi's face showed a bit of painful struggle.

"I've been waiting for you to calm down. I've waited...for a long time...it's been too long...now, you've finally forgiven me...that's great..."

Although she always seemed very happy and satisfied, at the last moment, Gong Ningzi's face finally showed heavy pain and unwillingness.

He really wanted to live longer.

Unfortunately……

Gong Ningzi's eyes were still fixed on Lin Mao.

But there was no trace of life anymore.

Lin Mao could feel that the skin touched by his fingertips was becoming dry and cold little by little.

He looked at Gong Ningzi who was close at hand, his lips trembled slightly.

"nothing."

Lin Mao said softly to Gong Ningzi.

"You still have a long time."

He stretched out his hand, covered Gong Ningzi's eyes, and then slowly leaned towards his chest.

"Zi-"

The skin and flesh were split, and there was a wet tearing sound.

The feeling of his fingertips sinking into his chest is very wonderful.

Lin Mao thought it would be very painful, but what he didn't expect was that at this moment, he didn't feel any pain at all.

This is probably because, since Senior Brother Chang died, only a very small part of his body is still alive.

Lin Mao lowered his head and slowly put his hands deep into his chest.

thumping—

thumping—

thumping—

……

Something bright red and hot was beating in his body.

Konghua's blood spewed out like a spring, and the whole study was filled with a bright blood that was so thick that it seemed to be insoluble.

And Gong Ningzi, who was about to lose all vitality in just a moment, felt his chest rise and fall very slowly and weakly amidst this blood energy.

"I... just hope that you can live well..."

Lin Mao was panting with difficulty.

That throbbing thing...

It seems like a long time, but maybe only one.

In a bright red world, Lin Mao slowly stuck his hand out of his chest.

The blood was pouring, and the blood flowed continuously from between his white fingers.

But there was still something, like a small animal, beating regularly in his palm.

call……

In an instant, Lin Mao found that his world seemed to have changed.

The field of vision seemed to have been completely soaked in blood, and the wound that he thought was almost healed began to burst out with severe pain that almost made the nerves break. Lin Mao could clearly feel the continuous vitality flowing from his body like quicksand overflowing.

The wound that had been bandaged began to overflow with liquid and blood—it was just completely different from the fresh and sweet blood before. This time, only foul-smelling and filthy black blood seeped out from Lin Mao's body.

Lin Mao gritted his teeth, and at the last moment when his body still had enough strength, he opened Gong Ningzi's mouth and filled his mouth with the heart in his palm.

Almost at the moment when it touched the tip of Gong Ningzi's tongue, the throbbing bright red heart instantly melted like a thoroughly overripe berry, turning into a mouthful of reddish slurry, which penetrated into Gong Ningzi's throat.

Gong Ningzi's face became plump and rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her breathing, which had been so weak that it was almost non-existent, also returned bit by bit.

It's just that Lin Mao has no time to take care of all of this.

He is in so much pain...

It's too cold too...

If he hadn't taken out his heart, he would never have known that these wounds would be so painful.

But unfortunately, he still has the last trace of life.

This is a little bit of anger left by Kong Hua.

Lin Mao stumbled open the door and walked out.

The sky is just right, a piece of green after rain and sunshine.

In a daze, it seemed that Red Peony's terrified screams sounded in his ears, and many people tried to come up to support him.

But Lin Mao ignored it.

A wonderful intuition guided him to drag his broken body and walk in the intricate courtyard of Chizheng Mansion.

Finally, he stopped in a small empty courtyard.

There is a tree growing here very abruptly, a tree that is out of place with the surroundings.

The trunk was glowing with a metallic luster, and the branches and leaves had not yet grown, and it looked as if it had withered, but there was only a delicate flower bud on the tip of one of the dead branches.

"So... it was you I saw..."

Lin Mao stared blankly at the tree, his lips parted slightly, and said in a low voice.

When you get closer, you can see the clues of the trunk of the tree.

The criss-cross lines on the trunk were faint, and it looked a bit like a monk with a solemn expression.

And the location of this tree happened to be facing the room where Lin Mao was before.

Lin Mao walked under the tree and sat down slowly.
