The Doctor of the City goes down the mountain

Chapter 2549 Shackles!

On this day, the sky of the fantasy world seemed to be stained with ink, with dark clouds and roaring thunder, foreshadowing an impending disaster.

Lin Dong and Luo Xue, as brother and sister, have spent thirteen years together in this imaginary land.

On this day, the flood came like a nightmare, instantly shattering their peaceful lives.

"Sister Luo Xue, run, run!" Lin Dong's voice pierced through the whistling wind and heavy rain. He waved his arms vigorously, trying to attract Luo Xue's attention.

In the illusion, they were unable to display the powerful powers of the heavenly realm warriors in reality. At this moment, they were just two fragile and insignificant ordinary people, facing the wrath of nature, they seemed so helpless.

Luo Xue was stunned by this sudden change, but Lin Dong's shout was like an invisible rope that pulled her back from her daze.

Her eyes fell on Lin Dong, the figure who was trying to protect her at all costs, which made her feel an indescribable emotion in her heart.

At this moment, her thoughts seemed to travel through time and space, returning to the age of eleven in that distant yet real world.

That year, she was still an ignorant little girl, and there was a little boy who was equally young but brave by her side. He always protected her unconditionally.

Whenever danger came, the little boy would always stand in front of her first, saying the same words in a childish voice: "Sister Luo Xue, don't be afraid, I'm here."

The scene in her memory overlapped with Lin Dong in front of her, making Luo Xue unable to tell whether it was an illusion or reality.

"Sister Luo Xue, why are you still standing there? Run!" Lin Dong's voice urged again, with an unquestionable determination in his anxiety.

He realized that Luo Xue's condition was not right. Without thinking too much, he turned around resolutely, squatted down, and motioned Luo Xue to come up.

Luo Xue was stunned for a moment, then she understood Lin Dong's intention.

She sighed softly, with complex emotions intertwined, and finally she chose to believe this "brother" in the illusion.

She lay on Lin Dong's back, wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, and felt the long-lost sense of security and warmth.

Lin Dong carried Luo Xue on his back, and his feet left a series of firm footprints on the ground.

The flood was raging behind him, and Lin Dong carried Luo Xue on his back and ran hard towards a higher place.

Luo Xue lay on his back with a complicated expression on her face and her mind full of thoughts.

The rain was getting heavier and the thunder was roaring, but it seemed as if an invisible bridge was built between Lin Dong and Luo Xue, connecting their reality and fantasy.

In this torrent of illusions, they are no longer powerful heavenly realm warriors, but just two ordinary people who rely on each other and face difficulties together.

The rain poured down mercilessly like a dam bursting, shrouding the entire world in chaos.

Lin Dong's legs were deeply sunk into the cold water and every step was extremely difficult, but Luo Xue on his back was his only warmth and persistence at this moment.

Finally, they reached the highest roof in the area, which was their temporary safe haven, but also the starting point of the test of fate.

"Tick, tick..." The rain kept hitting the roof and also hitting Luo Xue's heart.

She looked at Lin Dong's arms that were shaking from the effort and his determined face that was about to be submerged by the flood, and felt mixed emotions.

Tears and rain mixed together, blurring her vision. She choked up and asked those heavy words: "Why, why did you do this? Put me down quickly, you will die like this."

Lin Dong's lips curled up into a gentle smile, and that smile contained unquestionable determination:
"Because you are my sister, how can I let you die before me? In this world, nothing is more important than the safety of your family." Although his voice was soft, it exploded in Luo Xue's heart like thunder, awakening the softest memories deep in her heart.

Luo Xue's body shook violently, as if hit by an invisible force. She could no longer hold back her tears, rolling down like pearls from a broken string.

She finally spoke, opening her heart to Lin Dong, her voice trembling and choking as she recounted the past events that had been buried for many years:
"That year, I was only eleven years old. My brother and I encountered a storm at sea... He asked me to go first, but he himself... I have returned to that moment in my dreams countless times. How great it would be if I was the one who died..."

She finally told what happened when she was eleven years old. It turned out that year, she and her brother were in danger.

In order to protect her, her brother let her go first and eventually died in the sea.

When her family arrived, they could only see her brother's body floating on the sea.

She would never forget the way the elders in her family and her parents looked at her. They all thought that she had killed her brother, and even she herself thought so.

That year, she was only eleven years old.

Since then, she has dreamed of that scene countless times. She really wished that it was she who died that year instead of her brother.

She lived for so many years with a guilty conscience.

She told all this to Lin Dong, the "brother" in the illusion, and treated him as her own brother.

As he spoke, tears began to stream down his face!
Lin Dong listened quietly, with a hint of heartache and understanding in his eyes. He gently patted Luo Xue's back, as if he was comforting a wounded child:

"Sister, those are all things of the past. Your brother made the choice because he loves you. He hopes that you can live and move on with his hope. And you have been silently enduring this pain in your own way, trying to live."

"Brother, this time, let me protect you." Luo Xue struggled to get off Lin Dong's back. She had long regarded Lin Dong as her real brother.

Although she had taken good care of Lin Dong and acted like a sister for the past thirteen years, there was always a barrier in her heart, and she did not regard Lin Dong as a real brother.

But now, she was no longer just playing the role of a sister, but really regarded herself as Lin Dong's sister.

The same was true for Lin Dong. He also regarded Luo Xue as his real sister.

Lin Dong held her even harder. Even though the water had already reached his neck, leaving only his head, he still had a smile on his face and said:
"Sister, for the past thirteen years, you have always been my safe haven and the beacon of my heart. Now, it is my turn to hold up the sky for you. I think he would hope that I would do the same when he is watching from heaven."

"Also, sister, don't feel guilty! Everyone's life has its meaning and value. Your existence is the best commemoration of him. You must live well, on his behalf, and on my behalf, to see all the beauty in this world, feel every breeze, and embrace every sunrise and sunset."

"Once upon a time, there was a person I loved the most, and she once told me not to feel guilty and powerless because of the death of a loved one. Instead, I should live well, take a good look at the world, the mountains and rivers, and embrace the breeze..."

At this moment, the Lin Dong who was speaking seemed to overlap with Luo Xue's biological brother. She was clearly looking at Lin Dong in the illusion, but at that moment, she seemed to have returned to the age of eleven and saw her brother before he died.

"Sister, please forgive yourself." He said this slowly with a smile.

Luo Xue choked up and said, "I understand. I finally understand."

The cage that had locked her heart for countless days and nights was finally opened at this moment.

The dark shackles in the heart are opened by the warmth of another person.

And at this moment, the whole world shook violently.
