The speed of comfortable walking is extremely slow, one step and one breath, three steps and one breath.

The maids who were kneeling outside the courtyard gate and crying and begging for mercy couldn't help but stop their movements and shut down, and looked at Shu Xin coming in a daze.

Shu Yue and Shu Huan's eyes couldn't help but be fixed on Shu Xin.

Everyone couldn't help but panic when they saw Shu Xin approaching, feeling that the slowly moving footsteps stepped on people's hearts step by step, and as they approached step by step, the pressure on their hearts increased point by point.

The courtyard where Shu Xin lives is called "Si Shu Garden" in the most remote south corner of Shu Province, where it is very far away from the lively main house or the beautiful back garden, usually few people come, a dense grove outside the courtyard, a quiet stone road between the trees leads to the front house.

The back wall of the courtyard and the exterior wall of the mansion are separated only by a narrow passage the length of an arm's length, and beyond the wall is a small deep alley leading to the main street.

The whole environment is deep, the sky has completely darkened, the red lanterns on both sides of the courtyard gate are swaying with a faint light, shining on Shu Xin's pale face, the red light of the red lantern is reflected in Shu Xin's gloomy big eyes, and the reflected eyes have a touch of frightening demon.

A heavy or light cough mixed with difficult wheezing, in this gloomy environment, it brought a bit of inexplicable terror, tightly gripping people's hearts, like a soul seeking life.

Shu Huan only felt chills all over his body, and his back was cold for a while, he couldn't help but shiver, looked left and right, only to feel that this side was gloomy, leaned towards Shu Yue, leaned into her ear and whispered: "Sixth sister, it's late today, otherwise let's go back first!" ”

Shu Yue frowned slightly, pursed her lips, looked at Shu Xin, who was coughing and approaching, with a cold light shooting out of her eyes, and secretly gritted her teeth: "Then let's go back first!" ”

"Hmm." Shu Huan nodded again and again, holding his chin high and staring at Shu Xin arrogantly: "Today, we are very merciful, just let you go first, anyway, God will punish you for us, no matter what, you will die, it is better to die early or later, so that you will be tortured a little more." ”

Shu Xin's footsteps stopped, standing in the courtyard and looking at Shu Huan fixedly, his big eyes were watery, and Chu Chu was pitiful and swaying with a strange cold glow, Shu Huan couldn't help but be afraid under such a sight, and his eyes opened and no longer looked at Shu Xin.

Shu Xin suddenly took two quick steps forward, Shu Huan and Shu Yue were startled by Shu Xin's violent action and retreated, Shu Huan even shouted in fear: "Don't come, don't come over." ”

Shu Xin was very satisfied with their fear, and paused according to his words, with incomprehension and confusion, Chu Chu glanced at Shu Huan pitifully, and then at Shu Yue, and said with a slight injury and cowardice: "I don't know what I did to make the sixth sister and the seventh sister so angry, and they didn't hesitate to come to me in this secluded and deep place when it was dark, and beat me out?" ”

"You, you don't pretend to be garlic, if it weren't for you, how could we have to marry that old man as a concubine?" When Shu Huan heard Shu Xin's words, he couldn't help but be angry when he remembered the purpose of his original visit, forgot his fear for a while, and pointed at Shu Xin and screamed angrily.

"Which old man is a concubine?" Shu Xin knew it, and deliberately asked with an ignorant look and a pure eye.

"Comfortable." Shu Yue, who had never spoken to Shu Xin, couldn't help but open her mouth at this time: "We are marrying Master Wang instead of you, because of you, our happiness has been sacrificed like this." Shu Yue's last few words were spit out through gritted teeth.

"It's because of you, it's you." Shu Huan shouted angrily on the side.

"Because of me?" Shu Xin looked strange, and then said extremely sad and apologetic: "I really wronged the two sisters by letting the two sisters marry Master Wang for me, and I am sorry for the two sisters who have been wronged." ”

Shu Huan Shuyue stared at Shu Xin's eyes and almost wanted to breathe fire, they always felt that Shu Xin's words were full of hypocrisy and schadenfreude, but seeing that the expression on Shu Xin's face was so real and not sure, they were annoyed in their hearts.

looked at them sadly, sighed and shook his head gently: "However, it is not what I want to do if I have tuberculosis, and besides, it is my mother who wants you to marry Master Wang, not me, but the two younger sisters want to blame me, and I want to add to the crime, am I not also very aggrieved?" I know that my two younger sisters are filial and dare not complain about their mother. If turning to hate me can calm the anger of the two sisters, then I can only admit it. ”

Shu Huan and Shu Yue were stunned by Shu Xin's words, and looked at Shu Xin strangely and inquiringly, they really didn't know that they had always been as afraid as mice and cats when they saw them, and Shu Xin, who was silent and timid, could say such a thing.

Maybe it's because people are dying and their gall is fat? The two glanced at each other and felt that what Shu Xin said made sense.

Shu Xin looked at them with pure eyes, lowered his eyes slightly, sighed leisurely, and slowly moved his steps towards the courtyard door, as if talking to himself: "If my mother had asked me to see a doctor earlier, I wouldn't have been so sick!" ”

Shu Huan and Shu Yue froze, glanced at each other quickly, then looked at Shu Xin who was walking towards them, and finally glared at her, and hurriedly turned to leave.

The maids who knelt on the ground all breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got up and followed.

Shu Yue Shu Huan knew in her heart that although this matter was actually not to blame Shu Xin, Shu Xin, who had always been disgusted by them, despised by them, and treated by them as a punching bag, was still hated by them.

Looking at another group of people who left in a hurry, Shu Xin stood in the courtyard and watched straight until their backs completely disappeared into the deep dark forest path.

Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in Shu Xin's eyes, and he turned his head to look at the right side of the courtyard gate, waiting quietly.

After a while, there was no movement, Shu Xin was still standing quietly, Qiu'er held Shu Xin's left arm and finally couldn't help but whisper: "Miss, Miss Six and Miss Seven are far away, it's windy in the courtyard, let's go back to the room!" ”

"Hmm." Shu Xin nodded, and Qiu'er slowly turned around and walked slowly to the room.

The two had just walked a few steps, and Shu Xin heard movement from the right side of the courtyard gate, and the reason for the growth environment was that Shu Xin's hearing and sensing abilities have always been much sharper than ordinary people.

Shu Xin stopped and turned her head slowly, Qiu'er looked at Shu Xin suspiciously, and then looked out of the courtyard gate with Shu Xin's sight, and asked puzzledly: "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Shu Xin gave Qiu'er a reassuring look, took a deep breath, and tried to make her voice sound powerless: "Who is there, and you haven't come out yet?" ”

Shu Xin's voice was soft and glutinous, coupled with no strength, it sounded soft and weak, without the slightest deterrent, but the people hiding outside the courtyard gate froze when they listened, and they didn't know whether to continue to hide or go out for a while.

Seeing no one appear, Shu Xin frowned slightly, didn't say anything more, turned his head and continued to walk towards the room.
