Apocalypse Tree of Hope

Chapter 18
After listening to Xia Yongjia's narration, Lin Rantong lowered his head and murmured: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, people obviously have no next life, Liu Yuan, I hate you!"

It turned out that one day after they got married, Lin Rantong suddenly asked on a whim: "Brother, do you think people have an afterlife?" .Liu Yuan once said that when you are in love, you should call me husband more, so that I will have a sense of accomplishment, and after marriage, you should call me brother more, so that I will have a sense of sweetness. After getting married, Tong often called him brother sweetly.

Liu Yuan was out of breath from mopping the floor, pinched Lin Rantong's little nose, and replied: "How old are you, and you ask some inexplicable questions, how can people have an afterlife!"

Lin Rantong refused, and insisted on asking: "If there is? Then you will marry me as a wife?" Phoenix eyes squinted at him, and the eyes were full of smiles, which made Liu Yuan's heart move.

"If there is a next life..." Liu Yuan deliberately paused, and then said slowly, "Hehe, let's live this life together before we talk about it. I'll think about it in the next life, haha."

Lin Rantong was so angry that he punched Liu Yuan several times, and was finally embraced by him and rolled down on the soft big bed.

Now, will the person who promised to spend the rest of her life with her never come back?Lin Rantong just felt that the whole world no longer existed, and everything was no longer meaningful to her, and a thought lingered in her heart: It's better to go back, it's better to go back.

She stood up gently, and walked slowly towards the window. Her figure was slim and light, giving people a feeling of not touching the ground. The ankle-length light green dress swayed as she walked, and the wind outside the window swayed. The incoming wind made her long hair flutter, like an elf who does not belong to the world, and is going home by the wind.

Tang Tang has been listening intently to Xia Yongjia's narration. Through these days of getting along, although Lin Rantong didn't say much, she can also feel the deep relationship between her and her husband. She can imagine that in Lin Rantong's mouth , how helpless and reluctant was that tall and handsome man who was gentle and jade-like when he turned away and left, she couldn't help crying because of his departure.

Seeing her mother's appearance, An Ran was so frightened that she stopped crying, and stared blankly at her mother.

Suddenly seeing Lin Rantong's movements, several people didn't react, until Lin Rantong stepped on the chair by the window, Tang Tang screamed: "Rantong, what are you doing? You are crazy, come down!" "

Xia Yongjia also looked nervous, and shouted anxiously: "Rantong, don't do stupid things, Liu Yuan won't want to see you like this!"

"Mom—" An Ran cried and wanted to run towards Lin Rantong, and was hugged by Tang Tang, she was afraid of irritating Lin Rantong who had lost his mind at this time.

"Ran Tong, look at An Ran, he is still so young, he no longer has a father, he can't lose his mother anymore! Have you forgotten that you said to me not long ago, 'we still have to live, and we have to live well' ?” Tang Tang continued to persuade.

Lin Rantong looked at the crowd, then at his son, and said softly: "Shangqiongbi fell to Huangquan, I must go and ask him in person why he didn't keep his word." He glanced at Anran with infinite nostalgia, "Baby, I'm sorry." After saying a word, the whole person jumped into the air.

"Ah!" Xia Yongjia's exclamation, Tang Tang and Liu Yu's screams, and An Ran's crying were intertwined.

"Auntie, if you scream again, I'm going to fall!" The fat little Lin Dashan, who had been ignored by everyone, said out of breath.

Hey, what's the situation?
I saw Lin Dashan hanging in the air, holding Lin Rantong's hand tightly with both hands, his little face was flushed with suffocation, and the little wings on his back flapped non-stop, which seemed to be overloaded.

Several people reacted, and hurried over to drag them both up.

Lin Dashan was so tired that he was out of breath, and sat down on the ground and couldn't get up.

Lin Rantong looked at the concerned expressions on everyone's faces without speaking, and turned to look at An Ran.

An Ran's little face was full of tears, her nose was wrinkled, and she was twitching, as if she wanted to cry but was afraid of scaring her mother so she didn't dare to speak out, her wet eyes stared blankly at Lin Rantong.

Looking at her son's innocent and simple eyes like a small animal, Lin Rantong finally cried bitterly. She hugged An Ran and shouted: "Baby, forgive mom, it's mom's fault..."

Tang Tang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The room was very quiet except for Lin Rantong's low cry. Little Anran kept wiping her mother's tears with her chubby hands. He didn't understand why her mother kept crying. He tilted his head and thought for a while, then reached out and hugged her. Mother's neck, rubbed Lin Rantong's cheek with her face, and said: "Mom, be obedient, and mother will not cry."

Lin Rantong stood up, and with a wave of his hand, a bag of rice, a pile of potatoes, three cabbages, a few tomatoes, peppers, eggs and other food appeared in front of him.

Ignoring Xia Yongjia and Liu Yu's inconceivable expressions, Lin Rantong said to Tang Tang: "Tang Tang, I want to be alone for a while. These things are enough for you to eat for a few days. An Ran, please take good care of them."

Looking at Tang Tang's hesitant to speak, Lin Rantong smiled: "Don't worry, I won't do stupid things again, that sentence, it's the same if I ask him decades later, anyway, he will definitely Will wait for me. I just want to be alone, please give me some time." After finishing speaking, Wei Wei nodded at Xia Yongjia and Liu Yu, touched An Ran's face, told him to listen to Tang Tang's words, turned and walked into He went to his room and closed the door.

Tang Tang took a step forward, wanting to say something, Xia Yongjia stopped her and said: "Since Ran Tong said she would not do stupid things, then she will not slip up, let's let her be quiet and vent completely Let it out, maybe it can get better soon."

"Husband!" Lin Rantong slipped softly along the closed door and fell to the ground, holding his head and crying silently.

For three consecutive days like this, Lin Rantong locked herself in the room alone, neither eating nor drinking, and occasionally going out of the room to go to the toilet when she had a physical need. Every time Tang Tang and others persuaded her to eat something, she They all shook their heads and said they couldn't eat, please give her some time.

Tang Tang couldn't bear it once, and pulled her to eat forcefully. Lin Rantong shook his head and said, "Don't worry, you know that our supernatural beings are much better than ordinary people. I'm fine. Let's go Give me a day and I'll be back tomorrow."

Tang Tang had no choice but to rely on her.

Xia Yongjia comforted: "Don't worry too much, Rantong is a very strong woman, she will definitely survive, don't forget about An Ran."

Tang Tang nodded, and handed the peeled egg to An Ran, An Ran ate it in small bites, and grabbed the small kettle to drink water.

While eating, An Ran suddenly raised her head and asked, "Auntie, is mom ignoring me? Dad said that if I made mom angry, he would spank my ass."

Tang Tang's eyes became hot, and she hugged An Ran and said: "Be good, An Ran, Mom, she is not angry with you, she is just not feeling well, and she will get better soon."

An Ran opened her phoenix eyes wide, and said happily: "Well, then Dad will come back and pick me up to ride a horse."

Liu Yu's shoulders trembled when she heard this, and she lowered her head. These few days, she rarely spoke, most of the time she was silent, only occasionally smiling when facing An Ran, and she didn't know what she was thinking when she hugged him.

The next morning, when Lin Rantong opened her eyes, she dreamed of Liu Yuan again. As soon as she fell asleep these days, she would dream of Liu Yuan, so she wished she could stay in bed all the time.

In the dream, the man with bright eyes looked at her tenderly, and said pitifully, "Tongtong, wife, you have to take good care of yourself and your son, otherwise I will get angry, and once I get angry, I won't wait for you." .”

"Brother, you scare me again, you are a big villain, you always lie to me, bully me, and scare me."

Liu Yuan gently embraced Lin Rantong's shoulder: "Honey, you have to be good, and promise me that you won't cry anymore. Seeing that you've cried all your tears these days, I'm leaving."

"Husband, don't go, don't go!" Lin Rantong woke up crying, she pulled her hair, how she hoped this was not a dream.

"Honey, I promise you not to cry anymore. I promise you will take good care of yourself and your son. You must not lie to me again this time. You must wait for me." Lin Rantong said in his heart.

Yes, for the past three days, I have allowed myself to be overwhelmed by grief, vented my pain willfully, and even ignored my son, now it's time to cheer up.

Tang Tang and the others were eating when they suddenly heard a sad singing from Lin Rantong's room:

Were the clouds that day expected?
So the steps are light
so as not to disturb

our time

because destined so little

The wind blows the white clouds

where have you been
while missing you

i look up and smile

Know or not

Then the door squeaked open, Lin Rantong came out, and asked with a slight smile, "What do you want to eat? I'm hungry."

Outside the window of her room, a paper crane dangled and fell, and a gust of wind blew, and finally went away.

No one knows that there is a line of small characters written on the wings of the paper crane: those who are dejected and ecstasy, the only thing is to be different.
