Chapter 278 Spring Returns

Boda knew that he could not defeat Shen Yu and Shen Zhao by himself, but he was familiar with the terrain and used it to lead the two to a very thin ice surface.

Shen Yu's fear of water had not disappeared, and the ice surface greatly limited her combat power. Fortunately, the brother and sister worked together and finally killed Boda.

Shen Yu said it too simply, but Xie Tingzhou knew that the battle between life and death was much more dangerous than her understated description.

She was obviously avoiding the important issues and deliberately omitted the dangers that made his heart tighten, but fortunately she had returned to him safely.

Shen Yu recalled the scene at that time.

The cold wind blew away with wind and snow along the ice surface. The ice surface was very thin, and you could see the bottomless glacier when you lowered your head.

The cracked ice pattern extended from Boda's knife. Shen Yu only had time to see Shen Zhao running towards her with a shout, and then she fell into the glacier.

The expected sinking did not happen. When she looked up at the water surface, she saw Shen Zhao jumping into the water without hesitation and swimming towards her desperately.

Shen Zhao grabbed her wrist and brought her up.

He said, Ayu, don't be afraid, brother has caught you, with brother here, I won't let you sink again.

In fact, the fear revealed in Shen Zhao's trembling voice at that time was far greater than Shen Yu's.

It turned out that there were so many people in this life who regarded her as a treasure, who would save her without hesitation and would not let her sink again.

She was much luckier than herself in her previous life.

Xie Tingzhou stroked her hair and asked, "Are there any more?"

Shen Yu thought for a moment and continued, "After the ice broke, we could only drift downstream with the broken ice, and find the direction to come back after reaching the shore. The people of Xijue are very xenophobic and are very wary and even hostile to the people of Dazhou. When we asked for directions on the road, some people in Xijue would automatically avoid us, and some would even chase us with shovels."

Shen Yu and Shen Zhao were both martial artists, but it was not easy for them to attack ordinary people.

Ben Xiao ran away when they fell into the water. Xijue is vast and sparsely populated. They could not find horses and help, so they could only walk back on their own, which delayed them for a long time.

Shen Zhao was still injured, and they were afraid of getting lost, so they could only walk in one direction and eat wild game on the way to fill their stomachs.

Later, Shen Yu saw Bai Yu hunting, or to be more precise, Bai Yu saw her, and then Bai Yu brought Qingyun Guards to come. Shen Yu took the horse and rushed back overnight, but it was still a little late.

Shen Yu asked about the war in the north again. They leaned against each other and chatted for a long time. It was still dark and Shen Yu fell asleep again.

"Ayu."

Shen Yu turned her head and saw Shen Zhongan again.

The wind was strong on the hillside. Shen Zhongan stood there facing the wind. His hair was mixed with some white.

"What are you doing? Come here." Shen Zhongan urged her.

"Oh, I'm coming." Shen Yu hurried over, but stopped in front of the hillside.

This was a dream that had troubled her countless times. She knew what she would see after standing on the hillside, and she began to be afraid for no reason.

Shen Zhongan turned his head, and the morning sun fell on his side face. He stretched out his hand to Shen Yu, "Don't be afraid, come, come to Dad."

Shen Yu slowly took a step and walked towards the hillside.

The moment she stepped out, the ice and snow melted from her feet and spread toward the hillside. After the snow melted, the green grass was exposed.

When she really stood on it, she saw the clean grass field. The green grass field pushed away the ice and snow and continued to extend toward the horizon...extending...

In front of her was no longer corpses everywhere, but a grassland with Mercedes-Benz horses.

The green grass bent down in the wind. Shen Zhongan pulled Shen Yu to sit down on the hill. They looked into the distance and felt warmth and tranquility for the first time in their dreams.

Shen Zhongan raised his hand and pointed to the distance, "The land where your horse's hooves step will grow green grass."

He touched Shen Yu's head, "My girl has found her own way. You have done much better than Dad thought. If you walk on your own way, you can go farther than you think."

Shen Yu lowered her eyes gloomily, "But I couldn't save you and the soldiers."

"You are just a person." Shen Zhongan said, "You have sent away those 100,000 wronged souls. Dad is proud of you, and your mother is proud of you too."

Shen Yu looked at him and blinked, "Mom?"

Shen Zhongan looked to the side and smiled gently.

Shen Yu followed his gaze and saw a vague figure in the distance.

She lost her mother when she was young and didn't remember what her mother looked like, but the moment she saw the figure, Shen Yu was sure that it was her mother.

Shen Zhongan stood up and patted his robe, "I have to go."

Shen Yu panicked in an instant, "Don't go, Dad, don't go."

"Your mother has been waiting for me for too long." Shen Zhongan smiled at her in the morning light, "We are going to a very far place, and we will not come to see you in the future."

"Dad!" Shen Yu chased forward a few steps, but felt a pair of big hands tightly holding her waist, not letting her go forward.

Shen Zhongan walked farther and farther.

Finally, the two figures stood side by side and waved at her.

On the other side, the soldiers also stepped on the grass and left towards the distance.

"Ayu." Xie Tingzhou called softly, but the person in his arms did not move.

The lamp oil was about to burn out, and the lights in the room became very dim.

Xie Tingzhou saw tears in the corners of her eyes in the dim light, and was about to wake her up when he saw a smile on her lips.

It must have been a touching dream, so he wiped away the tears in the corners of her eyes.

Shen Yu opened her eyes at this time. She seemed not to be awake, and there was a thin layer of water vapor in her eyes.

"Tingzhou." She murmured.

Xie Tingzhou pushed aside her hair, "I'm here."

"My father, my father..." Shen Yu suddenly burst into tears, "He said that he would not come to see me in the future."

Xie Tingzhou didn't know what kind of dream she had, which could make her happy at one moment and cry like this at another.

Shen Yu sobbed in his arms, crying so hard that she hiccuped at the end, as if she wanted to vent all her sadness and pain, and never let them hold her back from then on.

She was still a little girl after all.

Xie Tingzhou sighed in his heart, but did not dissuade her. Instead, he let her vent, just rubbing her back and telling her that he was always here.
