"Brother Li!" Bai Lingmiao's cry made Li Huowang, who was holding a lantern in the dark, turn around and look at the others standing outside the door in the sun.
He waved to them again, "Let's go, let's go home."
"Brother Li, then you come along too. It's safer to walk together on the road. Did you forget to take anything?" Zhao Wu, who was lying on the back of the fool, said. He looked a little nervous and seemed to feel something was wrong.
"Hehe, where are we going together?" Li Huowang turned around and hid his face in the dark again.
"Let's go home for the New Year together, Brother Li, where is your home?"
Li Huowang smiled silently in the dark and began to walk back with a lantern. "Home? Where do I have a home now? I can't go back to my home anymore, I can't go back!"
Li Huowang walked silently in the dark. Qingfeng Temple was very quiet at this time. The only thing that accompanied him was the sound of his footsteps.
Suddenly, Li Huowang began to hum a song, his steps became brisk, and the oil lamp in his hand swayed rhythmically from side to side.
Accompanied by his own singing, Li Huowang returned to his residence. He closed the door and put the oil lamp on the table. He was too lazy to wipe the blood off his face and body. He just lay down on the stone bed and closed his eyes.
"Today is the first day of the new year. I haven't eaten the disgusting black Tai Sui this month. I should be able to see Yang Na again soon, right?" Thinking of this, Li Huowang's mouth corners slightly raised.
He waited quietly, waiting for his best childhood sweetheart to take him back to his world.
Li Huowang, who had not slept all night, began to lose consciousness gradually, but just when he was about to fall into a beautiful dream, the door suddenly opened.
Li Huowang rubbed his eyes and sat up, and found Gou Wa Zhao Wu and others standing at the door.
Bai Lingmiao stood there nervously, dodging his eyes for a while and finally firmed up.
"Brother Li, if you can't go home, then come to my house. My house is very spacious, and the east wing is empty..."
Li Huowang looked at the kind girl in front of him and shook his head slightly, "It's good here, I'm used to it."
A madman who talks to himself and dances can only stay in this dark place so as not to scare others.
Bai Lingmiao's lips trembled slightly. It seems that she is a little bit unbelievable about Li Huowang's words.
"I have a home, and I have family, but..." Li Huowang looked up at the dark roof, and began to recall something with a complicated expression.
After thinking for a while, Gou Wa winked at others in a low voice, "Since Brother Li said he wanted to stay here? How about we go?"
"Shut up!" Bai Lingmiao's words scared Gou Wa a lot. This is not like the timid little girl in the past.
Bai Lingmiao quickly went up with a very stubborn expression, "Are you worthy of your family? If your family knew what you are like now, what would they think?"
Li Huowang showed a bitter smile on his face, "How do I know what they think? I can't even be sure whether they really exist!!"
"Maybe I am just a madman with nothing. I have nothing. Everything is completely my fantasy." Li Huowang's expression became very painful.
Bai Lingmiao's white and almost transparent hands reached out and held Li Huowang's hands. "Brother Li, you are not nothing. You still have us."
Li Huowang stared at the girl in front of him, looking at her stubborn and delicate face.
In an instant, he found that he knew very little about the girl in front of him, "Why is she so good to me?"
Suddenly, everything around began to change, and the cave and the white walls of the hospital began to switch.
Bai Lingmiao's facial features began to melt and condensed into Yang Na's appearance again. She was full of tears and full of worry at this time.
"Nana!" Li Huowang rushed over and hugged her tightly with an extremely painful expression.
"Huowang, you can't give up on yourself. You have to live. No matter what happens, you must live well, okay?" Yang Na's voice trembled.
"You have to hold on. No matter what you encounter, never lie down."
Then the face turned into his mother's face again. "Son, you can't die. If you die, how can I and the old man live!!"
The face changed rapidly and continuously, and various people Li Huowang knew appeared to cheer him up.
Suddenly, everything around him froze quickly, and the bright ward quickly dimmed.
Li Huowang slowly released his hug and found that he was hugging Bai Lingmiao.
The girl who was hugged at this time was obviously a little shy, but her eyes did not dodge. "Brother Li, let's go. I feel uncomfortable staying here."
Then, she took out the notes from her waist pouch and put them in his arms, "Brother Li, it's useless to give these to me. We can't read."
"Yes, Brother Li, you have to do this. No one else can do it." Others also joined in at the door.
"I...I...I admit..." As soon as the fool said this, Zhao Wu covered his mouth. He leaned close to the fool's ear and said, "Even if you can read, you have to pretend that you don't know it now!"
Li Huowang silently looked at the wills written by the people in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
Bai Lingmiao pushed his hands forward and pushed the notes forward a little more. "Brother Li, you promised them in person. A real man can't break his promise."
Reality and illusion kept switching in his mind, and finally Li Huowang reached out and took the papers. "Let's go."
Li Huowang decided that no matter where he was, he would try his best to live well, not only for himself, but also for his family members who might exist or not.
As soon as these words came out, everyone smiled comfortably.
They didn't know what Li Huowang was thinking, but as long as he didn't stay in this ghost place, it would be fine.
A group of people came out of the dim house with Li Huowang and were about to walk towards the cave entrance. However, after just a few steps, Li Huowang stopped them.
"Wait, since you have decided to leave, you have to search this place carefully. You carry Zhao Wu and take others to the kitchen to get some food for the road. You can't live without food on the road."
Then Li Huowang took Bai Lingmiao to the alchemy room to get some elixirs he knew. Li Huowang has been practicing alchemy for some time. With these things, he can be considered a half-doctor. He didn't know how far they were from their home on the road, so he brought them with him for safety.
However, he only took the ones he knew. Li Huowang didn't dare to touch the unknown elixirs made by other Dan Yangzi, let alone take them.
After the group met in Zhengyi Hall, Li Huowang continued to say: "Wait a moment, I have something else to take." Li Huowang said, holding the lamp oil in his hand, and walked carefully towards the cave where Hei Taisui was imprisoned.
