The pain came back in hindsight.

Su Chaodui was sweating on his forehead, and he sprayed all the wine he had just held in his mouth on the wound with a "poof".

It hurt even more when I sprayed like this, and the wine and blood mixed together, and the blood flowed down drippingly.

Su Chaodui was so painful that her waist had to bow down, she wrinkled her little face, and asked Bu Operator with tears in her eyes: "The one you just gave my senior sister to drink, bring me a bowl too." ”

She bared her teeth and urged, "Hurry up!"

Bu Operator rejected her unmoved: "Not yet." ”

"I'm going to sacrifice you for one thing. ”

Su Chaowan wrinkled her brows and tore off the fabric on her clothes, wrapping them around the wound one by one, and she didn't care if she was infected or not. She bit the end of the strip of cloth with her teeth and said indistinctly, "If you have something to say, say it quickly." ”

Blood soon seeped out, staining the rag that had been wrapped around it blood-red.

Bu Operator opened his mouth word by word: "In addition, I will take you ten years of yang life." ”

Giving up ten years of Yangshou obviously did not come as clearly and directly as the pain of chopping off a tail finger on the spot, Su Chaodui didn't raise his head, he only felt that his throat was hot, and his forehead began to sweat.

She agreed without hesitation, and said unceremoniously: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up." ”

Bu Operator's expression moved slightly: "As you wish." ”

......

What kind of feeling it is for the soul to leave the body, Xu Chunqiu can't say clearly.

She only felt that she was lying there quietly, but her consciousness rose suddenly, and she could clearly close her eyes, but she could dimly know everything that was happening in this small space.

In the chaotic and misty consciousness, she saw the tip of the white-flowered, light-reflecting dagger pulled out by Su Chaodui, and then in the next second, she raised the dagger and slashed at the extra little finger on her left hand without hesitation.

Su Chaodui is such a girl who is afraid of pain.

Master had told her countless times that as long as she chopped off the extra finger, he would accept her as an apprentice and treat her like Xu Chunqiu, but she just stared at her big black grape-like eyes and didn't speak, pulling Xu Chunqiu's wrist to hide behind her.

She was afraid.

But at this moment, this girl who screamed with her teeth grinning in pain when she practiced and pressed her legs on weekdays raised a sharp blade that sharpened iron like clay, and raised the knife without hesitation.

"Don't!" Xu Chunqiu opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't make any sound.

Half of her little finger hit the ground, and the blood splattered, drenched, but she couldn't do anything.

She remembered that when she saw Su Chaodui in that era decades later, her half-amputated little finger with severed roots.

It turned out that her six fingers were broken like this.

Immediately after that, Xu Chunqiu lost consciousness, Su Chaodui was gone, the fortune operator was gone, and the surroundings were dark again, she was running in the endless darkness, and was gradually swallowed up by the darkness.

......

"Awake?"

Xu Chunqiu opened his eyes suddenly, gasping for breath, his limbs cold.

The lungs looked like they were going to explode.

The ceiling was snow-white, an infusion tube was inserted in her left hand, the nutrient solution was dripping in the drip bottle to maintain the most basic vital signs of her body, and the bed and clothes were white.

Lu Xiu was half-kneeling at the head of her bed, his eyes were dark, his chin still had unshaved stubble, his hand-made shirt was wrinkled, and the jacket of his suit seemed to have been deformed, and he looked a little embarrassed.

But he didn't care at all, just gently took her hand and kissed the back of her cool hand.

He was so excited that he almost cried tears of joy.

"Mr. Lu?"

Lu Xiu was stunned, he felt that the boiling blood in his body was cooling down little by little.

He vaguely seemed to have guessed something, and muttered in disbelief, his voice almost trembling: "You...... Call me what?"

Xu Chunqiu on the hospital bed didn't know why his emotions were so excited, she tilted her head and stared at Lu Xiu with a pair of big wet eyes.

"Mr. Lu, did you rescue me?"

She struggled to sit up, straightening her back, "Did you jump into the pool and rescue me at the dinner?"

Lu Xiu's movements suddenly became so eager that they were almost rough, he couldn't help but pull Xu Chunqiu's left arm, and pulled up the sleeve of her hospital gown, her forearm was still slender and white, and the color of her hair was very light, but there was an extra scar on her originally smooth and complete forearm for no reason.

An ugly, scald scar.

Lu Xiu unconsciously clenched her wrist, it hurt, but Xu Chunqiu didn't dare to say anything, she didn't know what was happening to her, she just endured it silently.

Her skin was thin, and she soon had a red mark on her wrist.

Only then did Lu Xiu realize that he had hurt her, and let go of his hand in hindsight: "I'm sorry." ”

The two of them sat wordlessly in the ward and looked at each other, neither of them spoke, and neither of them knew how to break the silence until Lu Xiu's mobile phone rang.

"Excuse me, I'll go out and answer a call. ”

Xu Chunqiu nodded obediently, retracted back into the quilt, and lifted the thick quilt to cover his head.

"Hey, hello. Lu Xiu gently closed the door of the ward and stood in the corridor to pick up the phone.

The name shown in the caller column is not unfamiliar, it was Susan calling.

"Mr. Lu, my grandma is going to die...... her voice was so anxious that she almost cried, "Her health has always been very good, and the doctor said that the old man is in good health during the physical examination last year, and if there is no major accident, there is no problem in living for another five years and ten years......"

"I don't know what's going on, suddenly ...... Suddenly it won't work......"

Susan cried so much that her eyes and nose were red, and she sobbed and said: "The old man insists on seeing Xu Chunqiu, I know that Xu Chunqiu is also sick now, and I really don't know what to do, so I called you......"

Obviously, the last time I saw her, the old man was still in good spirits, and he couldn't see the sick spirit of dying at all, how could he suddenly ......

Lu Xiu suddenly recalled Bu Zhuanzi's words, and Su Chaodui's half of the truncated finger appeared in his mind repeatedly, lingering.

- Someone has already given it to her.

Perhaps what she paid for Xu Chunqiu was far more than a superfluous finger.

Xu Chunqiu just woke up. ”

Lu Xiu interrupted Susan's words, and he asked rhetorically, "Which hospital is the old man in now?"

"The Third Courtyard of the City. ”

He lives in the same hospital as Xu Chunqiu.

Lu Xiu pondered for a moment: "You let the old man wait, I will take Xu Chunqiu over now." ”

He hung up the phone and pushed the door back into the room.
