seemed to be uneventful day after day, but suddenly, at a certain moment, he suddenly understood the meaning of perseverance.

Higashino Que was incense, and the whole room was filled with fragrance, which was as clear and pure as walking on a forest trail but mixed with a bloody bewitching atmosphere, I can't say what I felt, but after smelling it for a long time, I felt a lot more relaxed.

He hasn't woken up yet.

The knock on the door came as promised, Dong Yeque got up and went to open the door, outside the door, Qian Yan was dressed in white, and a finely drawn flute was pinned to his waist.

"You're here. ”

Qian Yan didn't speak, walked straight in, found a stool to sit down, and blew it to himself, the flute sounded melodiously, crisp and soft, euphemistic and clear coexisted, and the Qi was lingering and drifting.

Higashino Que stood by the door, listening quietly, not daring to make a sound.

I don't know how long it took to blow, Qian Yan put down the flute in his hand, pinned it into his belt casually, got up and was about to walk out, but was stopped by Dong Yeque, "How long will it take for her to wake up?"

"I don't know. ”

"Is this requiem of yours useful?"

"If it's useless, then I won't come again tomorrow. Qian Yan said coldly, and pushed away Dongye Que, who was blocking in front of him, "You and I are enemies, I can only come here to make peace, and I don't want to have anything to do with you." ”

"I know you hate me, I killed Qian Huan and burned Beimo Villa, but Yihe is innocent, they deceived people too much and injured him like this, they forced me. Although Higashino Que was angry, he still tried to calm his mood, "Yihe is restless now, if your requiem can make her feel at ease, I can do anything for you." ”

"I don't need you to do anything, I really want to save her, after all, this is what our Qian family owes her. ”

After speaking, he raised his head indifferently, his eyes swept around Dong Yeque's face and pushed the door away, leaving a cold back.

Higashino Que followed him out of the door, but he couldn't go far, there was really no place to go in this troubled world, and Aoi Qiu didn't know where to watch his every move, so he couldn't let his guard down at any moment.

He walked slowly in the alley outside the house, there were two huge locust trees, the alley was not wide, and it was probably enough to pass one or two carriages, and I didn't know who the house was on both sides of the street, but I didn't know where they had gone for a long time in this war.

It was very quiet, and there was not a single sound.

Occasionally, I could see some people coming and going, sometimes one, sometimes three or two together, but they were all silent and hurried. Many towering trees stretched out from the courtyard wall and stood above the heads of three or two people, covering the clear light of the early day and sprinkling a shade.

He thought of Yihe, thought of the demons he had fought hard, and when she woke up, the first thing she did was to fight with her demons, she was really unlucky, so she had been living so hard.

If you're unlucky, then try your courage, she should have the courage to defeat her demons.

Before I knew it, I walked to the market, which has long since lost its bustling appearance, except for a few shops with their doors open to sell some necessities of life. In those teahouses that used to be very lively, the storytellers are still there, but the audience has become foreigners, many of them can't understand Chinese, and they just laugh like ridiculous clowns on stage, and then laugh out loud unconsciously, and then give him some reward to continue laughing.

From a distance, I saw a middle-aged woman, with a girl who was already her shoulder high, squatting on the ground selling cabbage, Xu is a pair of mother and daughter who depend on each other, the mother will shout a few times, and the daughter will watch all this coldly.

It is rare that a few people will stop to look at the cabbage in her basket, and will bend down to pick some and then talk to the woman about the price, if they think it is expensive, they will throw the vegetables back in her basket and walk away, and the girl will be even more annoyed when she sees her mother refusing to pay a penny.

"Why can't you be cheaper? Look, it's been a half day to sell one, and you won't be able to sell it out in a day. The girl looked at her mother angrily and couldn't help complaining, "Why am I so pitiful, other girls have gone to the school to listen to the books, but I am here to accompany you to sell vegetables, and I have endured the cold eyes, mother, can't you be like other people's mothers? ”

"I'm sorry, it's not good to be a mother. ”

"You also said that you used to be a young lady from a big family, but why did you end up like this? As she spoke, the girl began to cry, and the woman tried to comfort her, but did not know how to speak.

Dong Yeque walked over and took out a few silver tickets to the woman, "I want all this basket of cabbage, is this money enough?"

"Enough......" The woman was still a little stunned, but the girl quickly took the silver ticket and nodded hurriedly, "Enough is enough, sir, thank you, you can take this basket of cabbage." ”

"Little girl, I am also a person who has come over, maybe you hate your mother's sleekness, hate that she can't give you a rich life, hate her calculations, but don't know that she once looked forward to the future like you, the life of first bitter and then sweet is what everyone wants, and the torment of first sweet and then bitter is rarely known, your mother is actually a very strong woman, so don't say that about her, she must love you very much. After Dong Yeque finished speaking, he picked up the cabbage and was about to leave, when the girl knelt down with a plop.

"Mr. is generous, our mother and daughter are grateful, we have no place to live in this war, if you don't dislike it, our mother and daughter can do anything, even if it is just a janitor, just have something to eat. When the girl had finished speaking, she glanced at her mother, and the woman knelt down and bowed her head.

"You guys get up first," Dong Yeque carried a basket of cabbage, watching them kneel in front of him, embarrassed, "I don't need any subordinates, I've been alone all these years, and I'm living happily, you can keep the silver tickets I just gave you, and then save some to buy a thatched hut in the countryside to make do with it first." ”

"My lord, I have no hope for an old woman, but my little girl is fifteen years old, I really can't bear to see her displaced like me, and please show mercy to her, take her away, she is very quick with her hands and feet, she can cook anything, and she doesn't need to give her any money, just take care of her a mouthful of food. After the woman finished speaking, she simply kowtowed on the ground a few times, and passers-by would inevitably take a look at the excitement and then give a few words of advice.

"Since you must say so, then I will take her away, but I have been running around all the year round, and if she can't stand it, call her back. Dong Yeque was helpless, and seeing that the girl was pitiful, he couldn't help but feel compassion, so he agreed.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you. When the woman heard this, tears welled up in her eyes, and she reluctantly glanced at her daughter, and got up and ran to the other side of the street.

"Mother!" the girl shouted at her back, but unfortunately she couldn't hear it, "I'm sorry." ”

"Then come with me, you're a girl, just in time to help me take care of her. Higashino Que gave her the cabbage in her hand, and the girl took it very obediently, "What's your name?"

"My name is Ye Zi, I took my mother's surname, and my father is dead. The girl followed him and quickly replied.

"I have a friend who is a little injured and you can just help me take care of her. ”

"Is she also a woman?" Ye Zi looked at Dong Yeque with wide eyes, "Is she seriously injured?"

"It's not serious, I guess I'm about to wake up. ”

After talking all the way, he soon returned to his residence, and as soon as he opened the door and lay on the bed with his eyes closed, not moving, he could not help but be a little disappointed.

Ye Zi followed, put the basket of cabbage on the ground, and looked at the woman lying on the bed, although her face was pale and bloodless, she was indeed the most beautiful woman she had ever seen in her life.
