absolute sacrifice

"What a miracle!"

Yang Annan stood in the room, looking down at his unscathed body with an expression of disbelief.

He actually went straight through the door!

"Xiao Nan..."

Yang Annan seemed to be shocked by the electric shock, turned around and shouted: "Yang Jing, why are you so haunted?! Can't you let me go?!"

"Xiao Nan..."

Elegant and luxurious temperament!

Dignified and elegant manners!

This woman is clearly...the boy's mother...

"!" Yang Annan saw the person in front of him clearly, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry! I didn't mean it! I just saw the wrong person!"

The teenager's mother kept her back to him and didn't respond at all, as if she didn't hear his apology at all.

Yang Annan felt strange, and tentatively called softly: "Madam? Can you hear me?"

Still no response.

Only then did Yang Annan remember that he was able to pass through the door just now, and he should be in a state of soul now, no wonder the woman couldn't hear his voice.

Thinking that he couldn't see it anyway, Yang Annan took courage and slowly approached her.

Only then did I realize that there was another person on the bed...

The woman turned her back to Yang Annan, holding the boy's hand on the bed, and softly called his name with a loving face.

The boy's eyes were closed, and if he ignored his unnaturally white face, he looked as peaceful as if he had fallen asleep.

"Xiao Nan..."

"Xiao Nan..."

"Xiao Nan..."

…………

The woman kept calling softly, but the boy remained motionless, not even twitching his eyelashes.

Yang Annan looked at it for a while, then walked around the woman's body and walked to the head of the bed.

Bending down to look at the boy's face for a long time, Yang Annan concluded with certainty that he was dead.

"It's already after what happened in that dream!"

Yang Annan looked at the grief-stricken woman and the young man who seemed to be asleep on the bed, "But what's the use of coming back here? It should be to Egypt!"

The woman was still calling, as if doing so could really make the boy open his eyes again as if he had woken up.

It's a pity that this can only be a beautiful fantasy after all.

Seeing the woman's paranoid and even crazy behavior, Yang Annan couldn't help shaking his head: "It's really pitiful for the parents of the world!"

"My mother doesn't know what's going on now? If she knew that I was missing, she would probably go crazy!"

Yang Annan couldn't help but his eyes were red, and he quietly retreated behind the woman. The evening sun shone on the blue brick floor, and he stared blankly at the sunset glow outside the window. He didn't even bother to pay attention to the absence of his reflection on the floor. up...

In the quiet room, the door was suddenly gently pushed open, and there was a long "squeak" sound, which seemed to end a screening of a mime, and instantly brought back Yang Annan's thoughts of going away.

A pair of big hands covered with thick calluses rested on the door, a mighty middle-aged man with lightning eyes walked in with strong steps.

The visitor was wearing an elegant black and red robe, which Yang Annan recognized as the court uniform of a military officer of the Han Dynasty.

The steady and powerful steps showed the resolute and decisive style of this man.

After the man entered the room, he was followed by a handsome young man who was five or six points similar in appearance to him.

The young man is holding a copper basin full of clear water in his hand, and there is a dark cloud on his face, which is very similar to his wife's sadness...

"Father, brother..."

The boy's involuntary voice rang in his ears.

The boy's father looked at the woman squatting in front of the bed and couldn't help sighing. A look of sadness flashed across his face, but it was quickly covered by calmness. He walked over slowly, leaned over and put his palm on her shoulder. , Shen Sheng advised: "Hui Xin, don't be sad, let's hurry up and let Xiao Nan go on the road with peace of mind."

The young man also walked slowly to his mother with a basin in his hand, bowed his waist halfway, and saluted. However, he was obviously not as calm as his father, and his voice still couldn't hide his sobs, and he whispered, "My lord, please Your condolences, freshen up the second brother, let the second brother go on the road with peace of mind tomorrow."

After hearing this, the woman turned her head with empty eyes, just looked back and forth between the two blankly, then nodded her head lifelessly like a puppet, and said in a trance: "Got it, I'll help Xiao Nan wash up in a while, You put your things down."

Then he turned his head back and stared at the young man bewilderedly, as if the husband and eldest son behind him did not exist at all.

The boy's father shook his head helplessly when he saw it, waved his hands to the young man who wanted to persuade him again, and said in a low voice: "Let's put it down, let's go out, and let your mother and Xiao Nan stay alone for a while."

"Yes, father."

Responding obediently, the young man carefully placed the water basin on the ground beside the woman, took a deep look at his younger brother lying on the bed, and followed his father out in a daze.

The door of the room was carefully and gently closed by the young man, not wanting to let other things disturb his mother and younger brother who were saying goodbye for the last time.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for their family.

The woman kept staring deeply at the boy, as if she could never get enough of it.

When the night was full of stars, the woman slowly raised her slender hands that were as white as beautiful jade, stroked the boy's bloodless face back and forth gently, and murmured to herself, "Good boy~ Xiaonan, mother!" I will help you wash and wash now, and I promise to make you clean, my mother's Xiaonan is the most handsome~~"

Bending down and taking out a white silk handkerchief from the sleeve, dip it into clean water, shake it back and forth a few times, take it out and wring it dry, gently wipe the boy's face, and said with a smile: "Mother knows that you love clean the most, before a little Once you sweat or get some dust on your clothes, you have to take a shower, because your elder brother often teases you like a daughter, chasing you all over the house every time. Running around, you two really laughed at me and your daddy at that time, I remember one time..."

The woman seemed tireless and babbled about the boy's corpse all night.

Yang Annan asked in his heart: "Don't you want to come out to see her?"

"No."

The young man's voice was cool, as if he had lost all his weight, and echoed lightly: "I'm afraid I will be reluctant to leave after seeing her."

"Just don't regret it in the future. After all, we may not be able to break the curse this time. You may never have a chance to come back. Think about it yourself."

Yang Annan couldn't help persuading him.

"That's why I don't want to give her an illusory hope to wait foolishly, lest she will be sad because of me again in the future. The pain of losing once is enough."

After hearing this, Yang Annan closed his mouth with a complicated expression, and did not speak any more.

Maybe there are two missing, there are two ghosts who will not sleep tonight...

The warm morning light came in as the door slowly opened, and the heavy haze in the room also eased a bit.

Yang Annan looked out against the dazzling sunlight, and it didn't feel dazzling at all when he became a ghost!

With such brilliant light, it seems that today will be a good day!

"Mom, it's time for us to go."

The tall and tall figure of the young man stood in the sunlight, Yang Annan blinked, and after only one night, the boy's eldest brother was haggard a lot, his two eye sockets were deeply sunken, and the eyeballs were covered with tiny bloodshot eyes, presumably yesterday You probably didn't sleep at night!

The young man walked up to the woman respectfully.

Seeing that her mother was still staring at the body of her younger brother, as if she hadn't heard his words, she focused on arranging the newly changed clothes for her younger brother, as if what she was doing was a sacred act that was more important than life.

Seeing this, the young man sighed deeply, then turned his head to look at his brother on the bed, the calmness in his eyes quickly dissipated, replaced by deep grief.

Standing silently, the room returned to tranquility, only something called sadness was slowly flowing in the air.

Finally, the woman's silence was broken by the arrival of her husband.

The boy's father also looked extremely haggard, and it could be seen that the calmness he showed yesterday was just an appearance.

Same as yesterday, the boy's father walked slowly to the woman's side, put his hands lightly on her shoulders, and persuaded again: "Hui Xin, let's let Xiao Nan go on the road quickly, how can he feel at ease like this?"

The woman couldn't keep her calm this time, she turned around and threw herself into his arms, crying loudly, "Xiong Guang...you save Xiaonan...I really can't bear him...don't let him leave me, okay? ...He is only 17 years old!...Why did he leave me so early...Why?..."

"Hui Xin, don't cry, Xiao Nan will feel uneasy if you leave like this!" The boy's father couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes, he lowered his head and hugged his wife's body that had lost weight rapidly these days, holding back his sobs and continued to persuade : "Let's just send him on his way. This is the last thing we can do for him! Just... just pretend that we have only a short relationship with this child in this life!"

The boy's eldest brother couldn't help but shed tears, and followed his father to persuade his mother: "Yes, mother, my younger brother will not want to see you so sad!"

"Do not!!!"

The woman lay in her husband's arms and shook her head desperately, refusing to accept the fact that the boy was about to be buried.
