"Is that her?" asked the old man who walked in from outside the door.

I always felt that this man looked at me with a cruel look in his eyes, and I didn't like him as much as I didn't like here.

"That's her. Xu Nanqin's voice was low, like a deep well, I was a little scared, this kind of Xu Nanqin was not the Xu Nanqin I knew.

Then I just felt a pain in the back of my neck, and I was no longer conscious.

......

When I woke up again, Xu Nanqin was gone, I was woken up by pain, my thighs were hot, but there was no wound, probably because the healing ability was too strong, and the wound was gone.

I looked up and saw that there was only a thin candle lit in the dark room, and the flame flickered, pulling my shadow very long, and I moved my hand and pulled the chains with a rattling sound, and I was locked here, in this dark and unoccupied room, the thick chains fixed my limbs to the wall, and I was accompanied only by the dim light of the candle.

Fear spread in my heart: "Nanqin, Xu Nanqin, where are you...... Stupid Xu Nanqin...... Xu Nanqin ......"

My voice echoed in the room, as if there were countless helpless people who kept calling Xu Nanqin's name in a voice that was about to cry.

Xu Nanqin......

Nanchin ......

But there was no one, no one.

Tears slipped uncontrollably from the corners of my eyes, across my eyes, across my cheeks, and dripping from my chin, I didn't want to think about why I was here, I didn't want to think about where Xu Nanqin went, I didn't want to think about who hurt me, and I didn't dare to think about it.

I comforted myself that Xu Nanqin would come to my rescue.

Look, how stupid I am.

......

The sky floated with the white belly of the fish, and the faint golden image gave the sky a gold edge, the woman worriedly tilted the umbrella in her hand to cover the first ray of the morning light, the storyteller closed the book in his hand, and said softly: "Girl, it's been a night, and you are tired, so it's better to rest for a while, go to my house to sit, and talk slowly." ”

"No...... There is no time......" The woman's body became more and more transparent, and she smiled sadly: "Can't Mr. see that my fairy spirit has been dispersed, and it is about to be scattered?"

"You...... Why do you ......" The storyteller sighed, there is no shortage of infatuated women in this world, but there are a few who are as infatuated as the woman in front of them.

"Please, sir, listen up. The woman said softly: "I don't want to believe that Xu Nanqin will harm me, he is so kind and a little clumsy, he is so gentle and good to me, how can he harm me......"

......

I'm tired of crying, I'm gradually calming down, I'm an immortal, even if I will be hungry and thirsty after losing my immortal power, but at least I won't starve to death, I have enough time to wait for the truth.

Here, I think a lot, Xu Nanqin, who is gray-faced by the fire, Xu Nanqin, who smiles at me gently, Xu Nanqin, who will give me the reddest fruit and the largest piece of meat, he has become the light I rely on to get through the panic.

It's just that at the end, I will think of Xu Nanqin's low voice, "It's her." ”

I shouldn't doubt Xu Nanqin, I shouldn't ......

When the candle flame was about to burn out, the door opened, and a ray of sunlight leaked in through the crack in the door, and my eyes were full of surprise: "Xu Nanqin." Is that you? Are you here to save me?"

However, no one answered me, and the person who came in was not Xu Nanqin, but a hunchbacked old man with a hunched waist, who came to me with a bamboo basket, his eyes cloudy and cold and numb.

"Who are you, let me go!" I struggled, but all I could do was shake the chains.

The hunchbacked old man took a bowl and a knife out of the bamboo basket and pulled my trouser leg up.

"What are you going to do...... I was scared, but I could only watch the knife in his hand slowly close to my leg, the cold touch made me shiver, I watched him cut the skin on my leg little by little, and took away a large piece of meat, golden blood snaked down the white calf, and then dripped into the bowl of the hunchbacked old man.

The hunchbacked old man's back was stretched by the candlelight, like a demon dancing on the wall, and I stared blankly at the wound on my leg until he left, closed the door, and the last ray of sunlight was shut out.

Does it hurt? Pain...... Xu Nanqin...... I hurt so much, where are you...... Xu Nanqin......

I suddenly understood the reason for the inexplicable pain when I first woke up, someone had taken my flesh and blood.

The wound was slowly healing in front of my eyes, but the wound in my heart was getting bigger and bigger, and the wound could not heal, and the wound was gurgling with blood, so heart-rending that I didn't even have tears in the pain.

Xu Nanqin......

Where are you......

The old man with a hunchback would come every day to rip off a piece of meat, and even though it would heal soon, I was getting weaker and weaker, because the blood was running and it took energy to repair the wound.

Day after day, I was numb from pain, and the wound was healing more and more slowly, and I thought, I'm going to die......

I don't know how many days passed, I only remember that the hunchbacked old man came sixty-nine times, and his consciousness became more and more groggy, my legs were cut into white bones, the speed of flesh growth was too slow, I couldn't withstand the stabbing of Ling Chi, the crystal white bones were like white jade, flickering in the candlelight, and I pulled the corners of my mouth and laughed silently.

Laughing and laughing, I burst into tears, Xu Nanqin never came, until my heart died.

I'm not afraid of death, even if I die, I can be reincarnated and rebuilt, as long as the fairy is still there, sooner or later I can still be my free peony fairy, but no one knows the feeling of hope being wiped out into ashes day after day, I seem to be old overnight, old like an old man in the twilight, and the wind and candle are in their last years.

I don't know how many days later, I had a high fever, probably the hunchbacked old man came a few more times, but I was unconscious, I thought I was really going to die, but it was better to die, and I didn't have to suffer like this anymore.

Squeak, the sunlight leaked in again, probably the hunchbacked old man came again, I thought groggily, my consciousness became heavier and heavier, "Xiaoli...... Small ...... You...... Wake up!"

Before I fell unconscious, I seemed to hear Xu Nanqin's voice, it was a hallucination...... I smiled slightly, relieved, it's good.

I had a long, long dream.

In the dream, there is Xu Nanqin with smiling eyebrows and crooked eyes, and a beautiful woman dressed in white, elegant as a fairy, Xu Nanqin called her red medicine.

Is that a red medicine? It's so beautiful, no wonder Xu Nanqin can't forget it.

I looked at it discouragedly, stretched out my hand to touch Xu Nanqin, but it passed through his body, I was stunned, and I realized that it was a dream.

In my dreams, I was just a bystander.

I saw Xu Nanqin and Hongyao's affection, saw their happiness, and saw the catastrophe.

As a bystander, I saw more clearly, the last thunderstorm struck, Xu Nanqin suddenly came back, because he was anxious about the safety of the red medicine stepped into the scope of the heavenly tribulation, and the red medicine that was being solved by the army had no way to save Xu Nanqin, she gave up the military solution, and carried the last thunder with her body, and before she died, she beat Yuan Ling into the body of Xu Nanqin who was unconscious, and the red medicine turned into the most ordinary peony.
