CH 10
Li Huowang curled up in a corner of the material room.Other medicinal herbs dare not disturb him and are quietly doing their own work.
Night fell unconsciously, all the oil lamps on the wall went out, and the darkness covered Li Huowang like a quilt.He lay there like a corpse, unresponsive to changes in the outside world.
At six o’clock, a faint candle light lit up from the door, illuminating the nearby shelves and dispelling the darkness on Li Huowang’s body.
Bai Lingmiao rolled a ball of dried grass and walked to Li Huowang’s side, carefully spreading the dried grass on his body.
Then she took out a piece of coarse grain Mantou and put it on his mouth.Seeing Li Huowang still motionless, she gently pushed him and said, “Senior brother, you haven’t eaten anything all day today.”
Li Huowang’s eyes were always open, and he hadn’t blinked for hours. He looked numbly at the cold ground and didn’t move a bit towards Bai Lingmiao.
Bai Lingmiao wanted to leave, but after hesitating for a moment, she finally took out a jade pendant from her arms and placed it next to Li Huowang.
“Senior brother,this is your thing,please take it back.”
This time, Li Huowang finally had a reaction. He looked at the thing and found that it was a round jade pendant he had stolen from the previous Xuan Yang.
Li Huowang still remembers giving this thing to Yang Na and exchanging it for money.
At the thought of Yang Na, his painful heart began to bleed again, “How could this thing be with you?”
“It’s… Brother Li,you gave it to me.I said I didn’t want it,but you insisted on giving it to me.”
Li Huowang slowly sat up and carefully examined the circular jade pendant under the dim glow of the candle.
At this moment, he felt everything was so real. But in this reality, there is only real despair and real pain.
If he could choose, how he wanted to be trapped in that beautiful illusion all the time.
Seeing Li Huowang’s response, Bai Lingmiao spoke softly and asked, “Senior Brother Li, where did you get caught by the master? I come from the Liang state, where are you from?”
（note:梁liang国guo，the Liang state）
Li Huowang was stunned for a moment and then shook his head decadently, “I don’t know……”
He really doesn’t know, he does have memories of the past, but after the events of the day, Li Huowang himself cannot distinguish how much of those memories are real and how much is illusory.
Even here, he is also a madman, a madman who cannot distinguish reality from illusion.Just as he shook his head, Li Huowang suddenly felt something strange on his head.
He touched it with his hand and found that his hair had been frozen by some blood scabs. He had been injured before.
Watching Li Huowang touch his head, Bai Lingmiao explained, “That was done by Senior Brother Wang.”
Li Huowang knew that Senior Brother Wang was the fat man who had molested Bai Lingmiao before,”Where is he now?”
“He……he was kicked to death by you……”Upon hearing this, Li Huowang remembered Old Liu who had been kicked away by himself in the illusion. He lowered his head and silently smiled, feeling that he was really insane enough.
Li Huowang reached out and took out a gold foot ring wrapped in red thread from his arms, delivering it to Bai Lingmiao.
“This is your thing, take it back.”
Bai Lingmiao looked at her golden foot ring and pushed it back,”Senior Brother Li, you were right. This thing is of no use here, so you should take it.”
Li Huowang looked at the golden foot ring in a daze, but it was of no use to him now, because everything he cared about had disappeared.
“Senior Brother Li, can I use this as a reward? Can you do me a favor?”Bai Lingmiao’s words made Li Huowang turn his gaze towards her.
“If you can get out of here alive, can you help me took a message to my parents? They live at the foot of the Niuxin Mountain in the Liang state and tell them that their daughter is unfilial and cannot take care of them for the rest of their lives.”Bai Lingmiao’s voice choked up as she spoke of her sadness.
“Senior Brother Li, I really don’t want to trouble you, but I really have no other choice. They may take me to the alchemy room soon, I……”
Upon hearing this, Li Huowang’s lifeless eyes lit up again.
He looked at the withered grass covered on his body, and then looked at the Mantou beside him. With a pull of his hand, he put the red thread gold ring back into his arms.
“I keep my word. Since I took your things before, I’ll help you.”
Bai Lingmiao’s sad eyes lit up instantly, but soon dimmed again. “Senior Brother Li, this won’t work, it will get you into trouble as well……”
“Hehe… do you think I’m still afraid of this now? “At this moment, Li Huowang no longer cares, he has completely spared no effort. Since everything he cares about is no longer there, what’s so scary?
“That’s great, Senior Brother Li! “A male voice suddenly sounded from outside the material room, startled both people in the room.
As the candlelight lit up the person, a playful and pointed face appeared, with yellow and white patches on his face, appearing to have a skin disease similar to vitiligo.
The man took out two Mantou and put them beside Li Huowang.
“Hehe…hehe, Senior Brother Li, when I was having dinner, I thought that Senior Brother Li had not eaten yet, so I specifically left two for you.
“You may not know me,I don’t have a formal name. You can just call me Doggie.Hehe, just yesterday, I gave you seventeen copper coins”
Doggie rubbed her hands and said with a flattering expression.
Obviously, he wants to use Li Huowang as a backer so that he doesn’t have to be killed as a medicinal herb.
Li Huowang didn’t say anything. He grabbed the three stiff Mantou and gobbled them down. He had been hungry all day.
But because he ate too fast, he choked and Doggie immediately ran out sensible to bring Li Huowang a glass of water.
After eating Mantou, he staggered and struggled to stand up. After lying on the ground for so long, his legs were numb.Bai Lingmiao reached out to help him, but Li Huowang pushed her away.
He stared at the exit of the pitch black material room in the distance and walked out shakily.
At this point, his enemy was no longer his mutated disease, but became Dan Yang Tzu.
When Dan Yang Tzu’s ugly and disgusting big face appeared in his mind, Li Huowang’s eyes gradually showed a strong and violent aura, and his teeth began to creak.
“Why did you stuff that disgusting thing into my mouth, and why did you force me to break free from the beautiful illusion and be forced to accept this desperate reality!!!???”
Night fell unconsciously, all the oil lamps on the wall went out, and the darkness covered Li Huowang like a quilt.He lay there like a corpse, unresponsive to changes in the outside world.
