Bai Chenxuan walked straight to the hospital, entered the door, he looked left and right, his eyes carefully swept over every person in his sight, he didn't think about anything, just calmly scanned every face, walked to the office where he worked, saw the door open, he stopped, his heart skipped a beat, looked at the door, expecting to see Yuan Ying, but he was thinking about what to say and do if it was really her, thinking about it, he approached the door, and looked at it at a glance - there was only a middle-aged man sitting, it was his colleague.

He was both disappointed and a little relieved, so he turned around and suddenly saw Li Yuanying staring at him not far behind him.

"You...... Know I'm here? Li Yuanying asked curiously with a glare.

Bai Chenxuan smiled, "Your father is dying." He said.

"He won't let me see you, and I'm dying, so I escaped."

Bai Chenxuan walked over, Li Yuanying had been laughing happily and at a loss, she didn't expect that a few days ago she was still an ordinary friend who had only met a few times, and now she has become a person she is willing to entrust for life, maybe there is some kind of fate between people, after a moment of looking at each other, they each understand, and that person will always walk into life.

"What is this?" Li Yuanying pointed to the small box and asked.

"Your father's bride price."

"Three hundred oceans? Where did you get it? ”

"You don't have to worry about it."

"I don't want it, you go back."

"Then what if your father won't let me marry you?"

"Then I am willing to marry, and he can't do anything."

Bai Chenxuan smiled and said nothing.

"So what now?" Li Yuanying asked ignorantly.

"Go home."

"But I don't want to go back yet."

"I said, go back to my house."

Li Yuanying was surprised and scared in her heart, this was a strange feeling she had never felt before, she didn't know what to do.

"My mom and dad like you, you know."

"Yes...... But I escaped, undressed, undressed, sloppy. Li Yuanying's face turned crimson.

"It's better, it looks kind." Bai Chenxuan smiled and said, "Let's go." ”

Li Yuanying was nervous, but still went.

After noon, Li Sheng inquired about Bai Chenxuan's home, brought someone over in person, and walked in like a no-man's land, and when he saw Bai Chenxuan, he asked, "Where did you hide my daughter?" ”

"I didn't hide your daughter, she wanted to hide herself, and I think if you were always arbitrary and didn't care about her feelings, maybe she wouldn't see you."

"Hmph, I think she must be at your house," Li Sheng said to the guys next to him, "Find!" ”

Li Yuanying was accompanied by Bai Chenxuan's mother in the next room, and she felt sad when she heard her father's answer.

"Wait." Bai Chenxuan said, "Uncle, can you control her for a while, can you guard her for the rest of your life?" She can run away from home today, and in the future, are you going to lock her up at home forever to stop her from running away? ”

Li Sheng stopped and stood with his back to Bai Chenxuan.

"If Yuan Ying is in the next room, then she must be able to hear our conversation, your words and deeds are heard by her ears, seen in her eyes, if it is you who want to see her more painful, you can go in and find it."

"It's not your turn yet!" Li Sheng said sharply, "She is my daughter, and her marriage is decided by my parents, can you still be abducted?" ”

Li Sheng took his men and went to the inner room, Bai Chenxuan didn't stop him, he searched all the rooms that could be entered, but he didn't find Li Yuanying, and there was another room, which was Bai Chenxuan's mother's bedroom, no matter what, he didn't let him in, and he didn't dare to trespass.

"Stinky boy, you're really capable!" Li Sheng scolded and scolded, "My daughter, I still don't believe that she doesn't recognize her father!" ”

After speaking, he left, Li Yuanying came out mournfully, and said weakly: "Dad is right, they are always fathers and mothers, I can't deny it, how can you and me make decisions about marriage, Chen Xuan, send me back." ”

"That's not the case, you wait for me." Bai Chenxuan chased out with the money as he spoke, and when he saw Li Sheng walking with a lively footstep, he stopped him and said, "Wait, uncle, I have something to say." ”

Li Sheng is confident that things will not end in nothing, and he deliberately said what he just said to his daughter, because he firmly believes that Yuan Ying is by no means a rebellious person, even if she is sometimes naughty, but she knows the general situation.

"What do you have to say?" Li Sheng asked.

"You know Yuan Ying, but you don't know me, so you can't completely veto me," Bai Chenxuan said, "I'm a good person, I studied and have a job, although I am not very rich, but I can ensure that Yuan Ying has no worries about food and clothing, and the most important thing is that society has changed, women should also have the right to choose, they have the right to choose the person they like." ”

Li Sheng stared at him indifferently.

"And, here—" he said, holding up the box, "here are three hundred oceans, and I will meet your request." And we're in love. ”

Li Sheng didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Is Yuan Ying at your house?" ”

Bai Chenxuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes." ”

"Send her home, the yellow flower girl can't just spend the night outside." Li Sheng turned around and left, Bai Chenxuan was here, he saw hope, because Li Sheng did not bring Yuan Ying back, but asked himself to send it back, but he did not confiscate the money, so that Bai Chenxuan could not be convinced.

A little later, Bai Chenxuan sent Li Yuanying home.

"What did my dad say?" Yuan Ying asked.

"Sending you home."

"Nothing else?"

"No, don't run around after you go back, your parents are heaven, you can't help it, you and I can do this to the maximum."

Li Yuanying promised him, Bai Chenxuan sent her home, and the two lived in a state of confusion all day long, Li Yuanying didn't think about tea and dinner, and Li Sheng's family was very anxious.

Two days later

Yun Yun had a cold that day for two days, and now she hasn't gotten better, and the extra worry makes her feel melancholy, and her condition has worsened instead of alleviating. Zhuang Yuncheng specially called Chen Qi'er to visit her, and then went to Bai Chenxuan, since the Chinese medicine treatment was ineffective, he would try Western medicine again. Because a few days ago, she promised Qu Yingjiao to accompany her to visit Mr. Qu Tianlin, but Yunyun was so sick that she couldn't go, so she asked Fluttershy to reply, at least until Yunyun recovered from her illness.

As soon as Yun Yun took a sip of the potion with her mouth curled, she vomited out in disgust, grinned and said, "Actually, I'm not too sick, and it's really a sin to drink this every day." ”

"Sick, still hard-mouthed?" Chen Qi'er persuaded, "You still drink it, you don't know how worried your brother is." ”

"I know that too, but I know that most of my illness is a heart disease, I just can't get rid of that thought, and I feel sad and uncomfortable when I think about it."

"What's the idea?"

"I didn't tell my sister and brother, I was afraid that they would be more worried, just tell you, don't tell them."

"What?"

"I don't think I'll live long." Yun Yun said in horror.

Chen Qi'er smiled instead of sadness: "What do you say? ”

"What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you for being crazy," Chen Qi'er hugged Xiaobao, took Yun Yun with one free hand, and said, "Don't make random wishes to yourself, we are taboo in the countryside." ”

"You don't know." Yun Yun shook her head sadly and said, "We are such a big family, such a prominent family at the beginning, what do you think it has become now?" The fathers and grandparents are gone, the foundation is gone, the tree is rootless, so how can it live, especially me, who is helpless......

"You still have a family, why are you helpless?"

"My cousin is only twenty-two, and he is about to get married, and my brother is twenty-five, and I will be an outsider in the end; And I got married sooner or later, everything changed, and the women in our family didn't end well, like a curse, how could I escape. Yun Yun was out of her soul, she seemed to be painting a picture of the future, and the picture was so vivid that she believed that it was true.

"You think too much, my sister," Chen Qi'er said in a gentle voice, at this time Xiaobao was crying hoarsely, Chen Qi'er hurriedly got up and coaxed him, and said: "If you want to say that you are helpless, how can you compare with me?" But I only thought about how to live, never said how to die, no matter how difficult life is, at least live for him and raise him. Chen Qi'er looked at Xiaobao with tears in her arms, he was only more than a year old, what could he do without himself.

Yun Yun felt it, stretched out her hand and said, "Give me a hug." ”

Chen Qi'er hugged Xiaobao to Yunyun, "I don't have to go to school, if you stay here for a few days, maybe my illness can be better." Yun Yun said.

Chen Qier agreed.

In early December 1915, on the eve of Yuan Shikai's restoration of the imperial system

Eikurasuke came out of a building, walked out the door, and went down a few stairs, he glanced behind him, and continued to walk forward with his briefcase. There was a steady stream of people entering and exiting the building, and the next two men dressed in black and with frosty faces looked a little special in the crowd, and they also walked in both directions. In less than half an hour, the shocking news came from the building—someone had died.

According to investigations, this man, 42 years old, the interpreter of the diplomat Yonglu, was recruiting prostitutes in his room during the killing.

Eikurasuke first went to the log station to report on his work, then listened to the instructions, and then returned home. Kitaiwa had returned from school early and was having dinner with Katoriko and Takeshi Fujitawara.

"I know that your whereabouts are erratic and you come and go, so I didn't wait for you, did you eat?" Beiyan asked.

"Nope."

"Then you go get the dishes and chopsticks yourself and eat together."

Rong Cangsuke didn't mind, he went to get the dishes and chopsticks, a square table, he sat on the vacant side, raised the chopsticks and ate.

"Where did you go today?" Katoriko asked.

"Miss Suhara, you don't have to ask every time, as long as you are safe and don't do anything harmful to Mr. Kitiwa, I won't care, naturally I won't report to my superiors, and I won't report to your father." Eikura said.

Katoriko smiled inwardly and asked, "Are you impatient?" ”

"Not really." Rong Cangsuke replied and bowed his head to eat.

"Don't tease him." Beiyan persuaded, "Let's eat." ”

"How can it be fun if you don't talk and laugh at the dinner table?" Katoriko said, "Since we have all lived together and eaten together for a few months, there should be a family atmosphere, and the two of you, one is not smiling, the other is silent, and I feel restrained when eating." ”

"Miss Sugahara, pay attention to your identity." Eikurasuke glanced at Katoriko.

"In this case, you two don't have to live in me and Beiyan's house, let alone eat together, let's go out and find another place to live."

"It's not going to work." Eikurasuke said, "Fujita and I couldn't leave, both for work and for safety. ”

"That's fine, don't feel alienated because of your identity, since you want to live together for a long time, you also have to be harmonious, and the most important thing is trust, especially you," Katoriko said to Eikurasuke, "In the past few months, you have changed a lot in my heart, don't still treat me as your surveillance object, otherwise I will hate you again." ”

"Yes!" Sakakura agreed.

"What about you?" Katoriko asked Takeshi Fujitawara again.

Fujitawara Takeshi glanced at Eikurasuke and said, "Yes." ”

"Alright." Beiyan looked at these people, and suddenly felt a little warm, and said with a smile: "Eat." ”

Rong Cangsuke asked Beiyan: "Sir, did Yonglu come to you this afternoon?" ”

"No, why do you ask?"

"It's fine." Eikurasuke said, and then continued to eat, and Kitaiwa did not ask.

"By the way, sir, have you been busy at school lately?" Rong Cangsuke asked again.

"It's okay, it's not too busy."

"It's time to go see her." Rong Cangsuke said, "In this matter, we must not be careless. ”

Bei Yan knew that what he was referring to was Chen Qi'er, and he already had his own considerations in his heart, so he nodded.
