The stars hung low in the dark night, as if a heavy brocade fell on countless dazzling gems, at this moment the Cui Mansion was still in tranquility, as if the sea before the storm, there was no wave, at this moment, a cool breeze blew, and immediately dispersed the heat around the body, and the silk lamp in front of the house shook slightly, falling a dim yellow halo.

"Why hasn't Mother come back yet?"

The girl in the silk skirt stood behind the door, her supple eyebrows gradually became a little solemn at this moment, and the hand holding the silk handkerchief couldn't help but clench slightly, and her eyes in front of the court were full of worry.

The green mane standing on the side wanted to comfort him when he heard this, but he still froze in his words, although Wuzhenguan was some distance from the city, but how to calculate, Mrs. should come back at this hour.

Thinking of this, the little girl lowered her head in embarrassment, and her hands couldn't help but twist uneasily, and when she raised her head again, she looked at the girl who was waiting there in a daze, and couldn't help but try to whisper: "Mrs. must be coming back soon——"

When the words fell, the green beard felt that she couldn't even comfort herself, let alone her own girl, so her heart was more like a cat scratching, anxious but helpless.

At this moment, Cui Zhiwan waited there quietly, raised her head and saw the moonlight gradually covered by the clouds, her hands were slightly cold, although she had thought of countless possibilities in her heart to comfort herself, but each of these possibilities could not make her feel at ease.

At this moment, she didn't know why, a heart seemed to be hanging more and more for no reason, and even a little throbbing.

Hopefully, hopefully, all her worries will be unnecessary.

The more she thought of this, the more calm the girl's expression became, but only she knew the fear behind this calmness.

Gradually, the night breeze mixed with sand blew little by little, blowing the leaves of the branches "la-la-la-" until the night saw only the ink-colored shadows swaying incessantly, and even the girl's dress was blown up, and suddenly, you could hear the sound of the wind, which was violently slapping on the lattice window with the fine stones.

"Girl, the wind is rising, let's go in-"

Hearing the worried voice of the green man, Cui Zhiwan did not respond, but shook his head silently, as if he was determined to wait there until the Yuan family appeared in the courtyard.

Seeing this, the green beard bit her lip, although it was difficult to do it, but she couldn't call it out, and at this moment, a violent wind raged again, only to see the sand and dust suddenly rise, straight into the house, the girl seemed to be fascinated, unbearably closed her eyes and turned her head, Fang took his hand to block, and vaguely heard the sound of the girl's hurried and whimpering outside.

"Girl, girl—"

Almost at the same time, Cui Zhiwan's hands stiffened, couldn't help but put it down, clutched her nails tightly in the palm of her hand, looked for the sound, and saw that the girl who was sent by her to wait for the news outside the door was staggering from the door, and before waiting for the green mustache to help, the girl couldn't help but walk out, and when she was about to go down the steps, the girl who delivered the news almost fell to her knees at the girl's feet, causing the girl's body to stiffen, and a fear that she had never had before gradually rose from her heart.

In the silence, the little girl's shoulders couldn't help but tremble violently, crying almost out of breath, trying to raise her head, but only to see that the tears had blurred the whole little face, and her hair was scattered because of the mess, looking embarrassed and desolate.

"What's wrong—"

When the words came out of her mouth, Cui Zhiwan was shocked to realize that her voice couldn't help but become hoarse, looking at the unusual scene in front of her, as if there was a breath of anger blocking her chest, because of the strong suffocation and pain, even to the point that she couldn't breathe.

"Girl, ma'am, ma'am—she—went."

When it came to the end, the little girl almost cried and shouted those two words, and at that moment, it was like a thunderclap exploding, the girl's face was pale without a trace of blood, and she immediately stumbled under her feet.

Although the green mustache on the side was also so shocked that he forgot to speak, when he saw the swaying body of the girl in front of him, he immediately stepped forward and held it tightly, and the next moment, his throat couldn't help choking, but he could only try to say loudly: "Girl-"

The girl didn't seem to be able to hear the words of others, her eyes were stunned, like a porcelain doll without a soul, she couldn't cry, she couldn't laugh, and she didn't even have the slightest fluctuation.

"What did you say?"

Just when the green mustache was extremely scared because of the girl's abnormality, she finally heard the girl's cry, but it was sad and unbearable.

"Girl—"

The little girl was lying on the ground at the moment, crying and couldn't help herself, so she could only try to spit out a few words clearly.

"Mrs. was startled on the way back to Beijing, and the carriage rushed down the cliff, and the lord had already rushed over with Master Xie when he got the news——"

The little girl's words didn't go on, but everyone present understood, how much hope could there be if a small carriage fell off the cliff?

At this moment, the surroundings were extremely quiet, except for the wind that was raging like a ghost crying, there was only the sound of stones hitting the window screen, and the green mustache held the girl in front of him tightly, and the worry in his eyes was almost scared, but he still gritted his teeth to hold back his tears, and choked up: "Girl." ”

"No, it won't."

The corners of the girl's lips were slightly hooked, as if she had just heard a dream, and she shook her head indifferently and said, "No." ”

The girl smiled as if she had fallen into her own fantasy, and the next moment, the faint light at the door gradually attracted everyone's attention, and when the light and shadow gradually approached, and when they walked down the steps, everyone present seemed to have forgotten to cry.

When the girl's eyes fixed on the figure surrounded by light, her eyes were immediately shocked, and her expression was no longer as docile and calm as before, and almost just a glance shattered all her strength.

I saw that in the raging wind, my father's majestic figure was gloomy and depressed at the moment, and his eyes were not as stern as usual, but only despair and grief, just like that, his hands tightly supported his mother's bloody but lifeless body.

At this moment, Cui Zhiwan felt that the blood in his whole body seemed to be surging, and he was cold and stunned, and he walked towards the bottom of the platform almost uncontrollably.

Yuan's body was already cold without a trace of temperature, and the red blood soaked her skirt, and even spread to Cui Wencheng's placket little by little, and all this was tantamount to being deeply grasped again and again in the softest place in Cui Wencheng's heart, and it was painful.

Looking at the familiar courtyard in front of him, Cui Wencheng's stiff and desolate expression finally loosened slightly, and his gaze was never gentle.

"Ma'am, we're home."

As soon as the words fell, the girl's approaching body was frozen there like that, unable to move a step, and the next moment, as if a pair of hands had peeled the last trace of breath from her, I saw the girl's legs go limp, and she knelt straight.

"Ah Wan—"

"Miss Cui—"

Cui Zhiyan and Xie Yun were nervous almost at the same time, and just when Cui Zhiyan took the first step, the figure in front of him had already reached the girl's side one step ahead of him.

The knees were cold and painful, but Cui Zhiwan seemed to have been numb, when she saw a familiar shadow falling in front of her, the girl raised her head in a daze, only to see that the one in front of her was no longer as calm and gentle as she had seen it at first sight, and her eyes were filled with worry and complexity that she had never seen before.

Was he feeling sorry for himself?

Cui Zhiwan wanted to laugh, but the moment he pulled the corners of his lips, the tears slipped down first.

"Xie Yun, mother is gone."

The girl's voice was cold and faint, and it fell lightly in the air, gone with the wind.

Xie Yun never thought that the first time the girl called her name would be in such a scene, which was desolate and unbearable.

Under the dim light, the girl's face was pale and distressing, Xie Yun clenched her hands slightly, wanting to speak, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

The next moment, the girl in front of her could no longer suppress her crying, and suddenly, Xie Yun gently stretched out her hands and tightly protected the girl in her arms, her expression was solemn and gloomy. Feeling the girl's pain and torture, Xie Yun only felt that his heart was stagnant, and he was silent for a long time, and finally reached out and gently stroked the girl's hair and temples, and his words were full of warmth and comfort.

"I'll be here with you."
