Death of the dark night in Douluo continent

The sun went down, the cold moonlight hung in the sky, and there was a somewhat dull atmosphere in the small thatched cottage.

"During the day, dad just said it casually as he thought of it. Don't take it to heart, daughter. Just think that dad suddenly became stupid. I just don't want to see you suffer..."

"My daughter knows...Dad is actually worried about Fu Rui, and it's for my own good."

The moonlight shines into the simple room, and there are insects chirping in the corner. The father and daughter each have a small bed made of hay. The clear light falls on the woman's face. She does not fall asleep, but just lowers her eyes with her eyes clear. : "...It's just that when my daughter heard about things like getting married, she felt very depressed, as if there was a stone stuck there, and she felt a slight pain."

On the other side, in the dark corner, the old face in the black was stunned, "Is there someone in my daughter's heart...or is there someone in the memory that you can't remember."

"I don't know...my daughter doesn't know..." On the grass couch, the woman's head kept shaking, "...There always seems to be a name in my heart...but I just can't remember who it is. , what is it called... Sometimes in dreams, I can see a little shadow and hear a little voice, calling my wife..."

The air has cooled down, and in the cold moonlight, two lines of water stains rolled down from the corners of my eyes, soaking the straw pillow.

The sadness comes inexplicably...it seems to belong to her, and it also seems to belong to another person.

Although she thought clearly, she could not suppress the sour feeling in her heart. She had always been strong, very strong, and never cried in front of others. These were the voices in her dream telling her that she had to be strong if she wanted to survive.

The bright crescent moon hung on the treetops, insects crawled on the window frames, and shadows were cast on the ground. Lotus curled up on the couch, covering her face with both arms, and crying silently. In her mind, she felt that that person——

It must be a very strong and difficult life.

......

There was a slight cough, and then someone sighed.

"...Dad shouldn't have told you these things, and it makes you sad. If you really have such a person in your heart, if something happens here, dad will take her to find her...Be a good person and cry. It’s heartbreaking.”

In the eyes of people who have come into contact with him, Zhou Tong gives people different impressions. He is strict, stubborn, aboveboard, conservative, upright, etc., but the look he shows at this moment is even more surprising, like a kind person. Father.

Under the moonlight, the woman's figure curled up there quietly, motionless, as if she was asleep.

There was silence for a while, and then a crisp voice finally sounded.

"This mountain is so big... I can't even walk all the way... It's even bigger outside. I can't remember where I came from... I'm a little scared when I get outside..."

The dull atmosphere in the room was relieved at the moment when the words rang out. The old man sat up and looked at the window without window frames, looking at the clear glow. The old voice said from the darkness: "The sky is round and the earth is round. No matter how big the world is, it will come to an end. Besides, if you are really married, your husband's house should be near Bianliang. It is not difficult to find. If you can't find it in Bianliang, let's go north and south, little by little. If you keep searching, you will always find it.”

"Go to sleep...as long as you are willing, you can always find it." The old man comforted her with a few words, and that was all.

In the black, the woman simply said 'hmm'.

Above the sky, the few stars were dim and dull, and the moonlight became brighter and brighter.

Outside the house, footsteps suddenly came. They were walking quickly but messily. Zhou Tong raised his head slightly and heard a quick knock on the door.

"Master Zhou, help me... someone is about to die."

The voice screamed anxiously, and Fu Rui recognized who was outside the house. She quickly stood up and opened the ventilated wooden door. It was the old woman from Aunt Niu's house.

"Mommy, what happened?"

"Your Aunt Niu suddenly became seriously ill. She was fine during the day, but suddenly fell ill at night."

Zhou Tong put on his coat and came out. When he heard the old woman's words, he frowned, stepped forward, got off the eaves, and walked quickly towards the thatched house over there without saying a word.

The moment he entered the room, Zhou Tong immediately covered his mouth and nose, and growled at Fu Rui who followed him: "Don't come in..."

The woman who followed behind smelled a stench just by standing outside the door. Through the moonlight, she saw the woman groaning in confusion on the straw couch not far away, and there were several places where vomit filth was emitting the stench.

When Furu heard what the old man said, she pulled the old woman to stop at the door and looked inside worriedly: "Dad...How is Aunt Niu...I saw she was shaking...she seemed to be very cold. The way...still talking nonsense..."

Trembling...blurred consciousness...screaming in pain from time to time, Zhou Tong had a bad premonition and hurriedly knelt down. Regardless of the precautions of men and women, he felt for his pulse and his brows furrowed even more.

Then, he opened the woman's eyes, his pupils shrank immediately, and he hurriedly withdrew, closed the wooden door, turned around and asked the old woman: "Did her illness only appear tonight?"

Under the eaves, the old woman shivered when she saw the angry figure opposite, "No... Actually, it happened last night... She said she might have caught a cold..."

Zhou Tong took two steps back and forth, clenching his fist tightly but holding it behind his back, fearing that his daughter would see something, "...what did she eat before the onset of the disease...I must remember it!" "

"I've eaten... I've eaten..." The old woman was also anxious. After all, she was old and her memory was not good. After being forced by Zhou Tong, she couldn't remember it for a long time.

After a moment like this, Fu Ruo on the side suddenly said: "During the day... Aunt Niu asked me to eat some meat. I didn't go. Could it be that she ate some meat..."

"what..."

Over there, the old woman remembered, "It's a mouse... She ate two mice... I remembered."

Standing in the moonlight, Zhou Tong clenched his jaw tightly and his voice was difficult to say, "...Trouble, this is a plague."

The old woman was still talking at this time.

"She said...she picked it up near a creek two or three miles away from the village that day, but she didn't say where it was. When she came back, I saw that her face was not good...it took a long time. Speaking of which, there were many dead people and flies flying around the creek... Mice were crawling everywhere, but dead people couldn't eat them, so Ajuan caught two mice and brought them back, and asked if they would eat..."

As she said that, the old woman suddenly started to cry, "...I'm old, so I should starve to death. Just like that little meat, there's not enough for two people..." Leave it all to Ajuan..."

"Dad..." Fu Rui's voice was choked and she wiped her tears, "....Save Aunt Niu."

"Can't be saved..."

The old man looked at the tearful woman and gritted his teeth: "Inform everyone in the village to gather...otherwise it will be too late."
