"It's fair to say that I've never tried to really love someone, but I know that you're different in my heart. I don't want you to suffer a little grievance and a little pain because of me. ”

"I know Yuqing, I know, I don't want to see you in pain, you don't know how hard it is for me to see you these days, how hard it is for me to endure......" Bai Qiaoxuan gently brushed away the tears on her face and said softly.

Tong Yuqing's eyes were still full of tears, and no matter how much Qiao Xuan brushed it, she couldn't brush it off, "So Qiao Xuan, I'm not forcing you now, but asking you calmly, can you help me and avenge my parents?" ”

Bai Qiaoxuan's movements froze, and after a while, he said, "I will spare no effort to help you find Tong Baiyi...... As for Qiu Zeyuan and Yiyou, I don't want you to kill them, because I don't want to blame me for not stopping you in time and ruining your most valued family business and most cherished friendship one day. ”

Tong Yuqing closed her eyes slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "So not only will you not help me, but you will even stand in front of me when I want to kill them, right?" ”

Bai Qiaoxuan struggled to grab the oxygen that was getting thinner and thinner for him, and he didn't know how long it took to spit out a word.

Tong Yuqing smiled when she heard this answer, "Go back to Baijiawan, everything here has nothing to do with you, go back and help your father take care of the family business, don't worry about everything related to Yejin." I don't want you to help me find Tong Baiyi, and I don't want you to help me take revenge, I just want you to be safe. ”

Of course, Bai Qiaoxuan knew that what Tong Yuqing said was true, but now that he was mired in the quagmire of Yejin, everything he loved and hated was here, how could he leave?

"I will definitely help you kill Tong Baiyi, and I will definitely not let you do something that will make you regret it for the rest of your life."

If it were usual, Bai Qiaoxuan would have a thousand and ten thousand more euphemistic ways to say it, but now, he didn't want to say that.

"Don't you force me to ......"

Tong Yuqing saw the waves in the depths of Bai Qiaoxuan's eyes rolling up and falling wave after wave, but she still refused to say a word, she took a deep breath and slowly exhaled again, "It's not early, I'm going back to rest......"

After finishing speaking, she turned around and left, but someone pulled her sleeve, and the man's deep voice was hoarse, "I know you won't, whether it's for me, or for Qiu Zeyuan and Yiyou, you won't bear it, I understand you." ”

"If you really understand me, know that I will not be determined."

Bai Qiaoxuan watched the plain clothes slide through his palm little by little, and finally disappeared, and the pure white in his heart also blended into the vast night little by little......

Bai Qiaoxuan didn't know that Tong Yuqing didn't go back to rest, but walked into the drizzle with a whimpering evening breeze......

She walked along the path in front of the west gate of the mansion all the way to the west, walked through the alleys of the houses where the lights of the houses were burned, and also walked through the most lively Tonggu Street at night, saw the beggars huddled in the corners, saw the travelers drinking happily in the small wine shops, heard the ticking of raindrops falling on the moss, and heard the humming of the mother coaxing the child to sleep......

There seems to be no change in this Yejin City, and it has not stopped its joys and sorrows because of the departure of her loved ones.

Tong Yuqing said to herself, you see that day it was still hanging on top of your head and did not collapse, and the ground was also lying well under your feet and did not sink in. So everything will still pass, as long as you erase the traces of these sixteen years and live again.

Relived? She was suddenly amused by herself, this daydream is really good, if the floating life is really like a dream, it is good to wake up, there will not be so many painful people in this world.

She brushed away the tears on her face again and again, but she couldn't dry her blood at all, and finally, she could no longer suppress it, and let all her unwillingness and despair turn into a sea of tears, until the sea dried up, until she collapsed to the ground from exhaustion, until her consciousness wandered away a little bit, and she seemed to hear a voice......

Tong Yuqing, after tonight, before the revenge is avenged, you no longer have the right to be cowardly......

After an autumn rain, the sky is clear and blue, the warm sun shines through the yellow maple leaves in the forest, the light spots in the forest change and beat with time, the breeze blows through the sparkling water, and the fish under the ripples become more delicate and agile. At this time, a gurgling piano sound flows out from a green sparrow yellow dragon boat in the middle of the river, sometimes shallow as falling jade, sometimes as high as a dragon's roar, sometimes like a clear and clear, sometimes surging and mighty, until the sound falls, it still makes people feel like a spring breeze, and can not forget it for a long time......

A man in white on the boat slowly shook the bamboo silk fan in his hand and said leisurely: "You are not quiet......"

Another boy in a green shirt stroked the body of the piano, as if caressing his lover's jade body, and asked casually, "Why do you say this?" ”

The man in white leaned out of the window, closed his eyes slightly, and quietly enjoyed the warm day, "Your fingering is indeed still like flowing water, but you have always described the sound of a trickle of water than the surging music, but today it is the opposite." Let me guess what is sacred that can disturb your unprosperous spring water......"

The boy in the green shirt still caressed Aiqin, and did not pay attention to his friend's jokes, but walked to him, also leaned out of the window, and said leisurely: "Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want." ”

The man in white turned around and sighed: "It turns out that you are here for this, and it has been like this for so many years, so why do you have to mind?" ”

The boy in the green shirt shook his head, as if sighing, as if relieved, "The person I want, did you bring it?" ”

Seeing that he didn't want to talk about sad things anymore, the man in white no longer dwelled on him, and replied: "You and I have known each other for many years, and it's rare for you to ask me for someone, so naturally arrange it properly." As you instructed, I did not alarm the family, but the person I personally selected was a poor orphan girl, whose parents and brothers were no longer there, and she was the only one left in the house. ”

The boy in the green shirt bowed his head.

"Come in!" The man in white called in the woman who had been waiting outside the curtain for a long time, "Come, I've seen ......"

The boy in the green shirt suddenly pulled the placket of the boy in white, and the boy in white changed his words quickly: "Uh...... I've seen this son. ”

The little woman was stunned for a moment before she hurriedly gave a salute, and the white-clothed boy hurriedly explained to the green-shirted boy: "This girl has never waited for anyone before, and if you don't let the family be alarmed, I won't be able to take her back to the house*, don't be surprised." ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as it's a smart girl." The boy in the green shirt said and looked at the woman again, "What's your name?" Where are you from? ”

The little girl was obviously a little afraid of him, and replied hesitantly: "San'er, from Xiuluo Village." ”

Before the young man in the green shirt could ask, the young man in white said: "Xiuluo Village is a village under the jurisdiction of Yanxi. ”

The young man in the green shirt nodded, and said to San'er with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I invited you to come, I just want to ask you to do me a little favor, and when things are done, I will let you go, and I won't let you stay on the island all the time." ”

San'er barely showed a little smile, and the young man in the green shirt said again: "It's just that you are by my side during this time, it is better to have a pleasant name, and I will call you Mi Lan in the future, do you think it is good?" ”

"Mik, Lan? It's so nice, like a person in a play. San'er finally laughed sincerely.

The boy in the green shirt knocked on the fan bone, "Then it's decided!" ”

Before the words fell, he suddenly coughed a few times, and the man in white hurriedly supported him and said, "The wind on the river is cool to the bone, let's go ashore quickly, lest you suffer from another cold disease." ”

The young man in the green shirt held his friend's hand, but shook his head, "I'll take Mi Lan back to the island in a boat, you can go back to the house." ”

The man in white stopped him and said with a smile: "Huh? I said, you're crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, aren't you? No, you haven't crossed the river yet, why are you in a hurry to tear down my bridge? Could it be that you have some secret hidden on that island that I don't know......" The man in white looked at him, saw that his eyes were dodging, and shouted: "Sure enough, there is something to hide from me!" I'll just say that you don't have the habit of calling maids, why do you suddenly ask me for someone, and you don't let me tell my family? Hurry up and summon it truthfully, or you won't want to go ashore. ”

The boy in the green shirt was laughed at by him, and his originally pale face was dyed with a layer of red, "The reason why a secret is a secret is because it can't be known by others, otherwise how can it be called a secret?" ”

The man in white also smiled and asked rhetorically, "Am I someone else?" ”

"Naturally, everyone else but oneself is someone else, no exceptions."

The man in white saw that he said such a conscienceless thing so reasonably, and he jumped to his feet with anger, but just about to have a seizure, he heard him say: "You still said this to me back then, why did you forget it?" ”

The man in white was about to burst out of the fire above his head, and immediately he was poured on the ground, and there was no spark left, and he said a few "good" words one after another, "Don't worry about you stingy ghost, if you don't tell me, I have a way to know, take your people and the piano and go back to your cold house." ”

The boy in the green shirt walked to the table and carefully put away the piano, smiled at Mi Lan, who couldn't figure out the situation, and soon took a boat with one person and one piano......

"Wow! Are these for me? A little girl in a light purple dark flower butterfly pattern brocade dress asked happily when she saw a whole box of purple glutinous rice cakes.

The woman touched the little girl's head lovingly, and said with a smile: "Of course it's all yours, but you must hide it well, and don't let your father find out, otherwise Aunt Dai will not be able to bring you good food next time." ”

The little girl couldn't help but shudder when she thought of her father's fierce face, and asked pitifully: "Aunt Dai, Brother Ling Zhu just went to Uncle Qiu's study to find a few books, why did Uncle Qiu and his father punish him like that?" Brother Ling Yu was even more innocent, he didn't do anything, he just interceded for Brother Ling Yu, but he was also punished for thinking about it and was not allowed to go out for a month. ”

Dai Wei squatted down and hugged the little girl, and said with a smile: "Little guy, are you crying out for your brother Lingyu, or are you complaining for yourself?" As she spoke, she raised her hand and scratched the girl's small nose, "Hugh said that our famous family is the home of ordinary people, and there are also rules that cannot be abolished. It is an iron law that no trespass is allowed in the study room without an order. No one can disobey. As the son of an Overseer, you should know this. But he falsely passed on the orders of the Overseers, which would have been a great crime to kill the head if it had been placed in ancient times. Your Uncle Qiu just made him unable to get out of bed for half a year, and he was already on the net. ”

Listening to Dai Wei's words, the little girl remembered that at noon that day, she and Brother Ling Yu knelt side by side in the scorching sun, seeing Brother Ling Yu being beaten to the ground, although the top of her head was scorching sun, it was like being in the cold winter of Sanjiu.

Seeing that the little girl's eyes were full of tears of grievance, Dai Wei sighed silently in her heart, "Child, this is the first time you have witnessed the blood of your relatives, but it must not be the last. All you can do is make yourself stronger, so strong that no one can hurt you, and the people you want to protect. ”

……

"Don't go!" A young girl dressed in a light purple golden phoenix pattern scattered flower brocade cheongsam firmly grasped a young man in a bamboo blue bullet ink dragon pattern rain silk brocade gown.

The young man turned his head, his eyes were as deep as a cold pool, hiding pain, pity and reluctance, the girl could not understand the emotion in his eyes, she only pulled at the hem of his clothes, her slight panting breath and the burning blue cloud phoenix agate on her head still shaking showed her eagerness when she had just learned that he was leaving.

"You know what? How uncomfortable was it for me to learn that the stolen money had been arranged in my name? And when I went to question him, he smiled and refused to admit it, how disgusting did it make me? ”

The girl heard his low and hoarse voice, her throat seemed to be choked by something, she couldn't go up or down, she couldn't touch it, and she couldn't move it, and she came back after a while, and said: "Don't worry, you may not know yet, the Overseers have found out new clues about this matter, and the truth will soon be revealed to the world, maybe ......"

"I know," the boy interrupted her affirmatively, "I know that the Overseers have found out that the Firmer Book's work was actually done, and that the Ordermaster has arranged for a killer to get rid of me tonight. ”

The girl was stunned by what the boy said, and the words she was about to say were difficult to say on her lips.

The young man saw that her lips were slightly pursed, and said in a deep voice: "If I don't even have the most basic heart to defend against people, how can I live in this undercurrent Yejin for more than ten years?" ”

The girl had not yet recovered from the shock, and the young man said: "For so many years, either you and I have joined forces and dealt with him together, or he has joined forces with you and calculated me together, and there has not been a moment when we have stopped, and there has not been a moment when we remember that we were originally brothers of the same ancestor. I've had enough of these days of walking on thin ice and struggling! I don't want to live in fear all the time. This Overseer position wasn't what I wanted in the first place, it was what the Overseer and my parents forced me to ask for when I didn't know anything! Why should I ruin my life for something I scoff at? No, never! ”

I don't know if it's because of the relief after years of heartfelt words finally spoken, or because of the indignation after being plotted by his younger brother who has always cared for him, the young man trembled a little.

"I don't want to kill people, but I can't be killed by them in vain, so I have to leave, and I can only leave, in order to completely get rid of these rights and wrongs." There was a hint of tranquility in the boy's voice after he calmed down.

The girl's eyes gradually covered with a layer of mist, and she said thoughtlessly: "It's good." ”

"What?"

"It's good that you still have a choice. Four more people have cut off their heads, trying to take away your abandoned position so that you can leave without any scruples. And I don't have a sister who can take my place, marry someone I don't want to marry at all, and do what I don't want to do at all. ”

The boy wanted to say that she could leave everything behind to pursue the life she wanted, but when she thought about it, he could think about the consequences of her waywardness. All good visions are out of reach for her. Compared to her, he was indeed much luckier.

The young man held the cold little hands hard, and his voice became low again, "I dare not wish you happiness, only your peace...... Alas...... Maybe for you, peace is a luxury, so I hope you can do your best to save your life, even if you end up becoming a demon for this, I also hope that you can survive, I hope that the person who survives is your ......."

……

In the morning light, a woman in purple looked into the distance, trying to find the place where the sun first appeared, but she couldn't tell where was the end of the sky and the corner of the sea. Just as she was struggling, a magnificent red light jumped into her eyes, and she did not feel the rainbow light dazzling at all, but walked freely on the waves, competing with the sea waves, and fighting with the clouds......

A song of Xiao Yin suddenly came into her ears, she chased Xiao Yin away, and saw the mountains and flowers from a distance, as if there were two people who were facing each other, she ran to them happily, hugged them, and shouted with a smile: "I'm back, you ...... it"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt that her hands were wet, and when she raised her hand, she saw that there was a pool of blood. She trembled in her heart, but she couldn't stop the man in her arms from turning into smoke and disappearing, "No, ......"

Before she could say "don't", the woman suddenly collapsed to the ground, blood gushing like a spring, and she watched as the blood crossed her feet, stained her dress red, and spread over her waist......

"Miss!"

She had a palpitation and woke up from her dream, but it was difficult to get out of it, still muttering "Don't ......"

"Miss, are you having a nightmare?"

She finally looked up at the woman with worried eyes, and her voice was as soft as nothing, "You...... You are? ”

"My name is Mi Lan, and I've been taking care of you these days."

"Mik, Lan? These days? She suddenly felt that the headache was unbearable, and Mi Lan immediately persuaded when she saw this: "Miss, you haven't recovered yet, so let's lie down first." ”

She waved her hand and asked, "Why are you waiting for me?" What about Yao Yao? How long have I been lying down? What time is it? ”

"What did you say, Miss? Who is Yao Yao......" Mi Lan was confused.

When she heard this, she looked around, and suddenly realized that this was not her bedroom, and hurriedly asked, "Where is this?" ”

Mi Lan was even more confused, "Isn't this your home?" ”

"My home?" She hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, and couldn't help but feel dizzy again, Mi Lan couldn't stop her, so she had to hold her.

She blinked several times, making sure she was conscious and not dreaming, "Where is this my home?" ”

"Miss, are you sick and confused? This is Childe's home, how can it not be your home? ”

She couldn't understand it anymore, "Childe? What Childe? ”

Mi Lan was speechless for a while, she had always called the boy in the green shirt as her son, but she never asked him what his surname was.

"I ...... I don't know ......."

She was incredulous, "I don't know? ”

Mi Lan shook her head, "I really don't know, I was only brought to this island by Childe more than two months ago, and I didn't ask him about his identity, and he never told me who he was. ”

"Two months ago?" She was even more incredulous, "You mean I've been bedridden for more than two months?" ”

Mi Lan replied, "Yes, Childe brought me to the island so that I can take care of you. When I saw that he had been working hard for your illness all these days, I thought that you were his family...... You...... Isn't it? ”

She smiled bitterly, "I don't even know who the son you are talking about is, how can it be his family?" Well, you take me to him, and I'll ask him face to face what's going on? ”

Mi Lan said, "But Childe is out?" He said he wouldn't be back in two or three days. ”

"When did he leave? Did you say where you were going? I'll go find him. With that, she walked out.

Mi Lan hurriedly stopped her and persuaded: "Childe left at noon yesterday, saying that he was going to Ningtai to buy you some clothes and medicinal herbs. It's very windy outside, and you're not well ill, so it's really not appropriate to run around, so let's wait for my son to come back. ”

"Ningtai? Pu Xining Terrace? How do you have to go so far to buy these things? ”

Mi Lan scratched her head and said, "You can get to Ningtai by boat out of the island and go south in half an hour, not far away......"

She was surprised, "Half an hour?!" Is this island near Ningtai? ”

Mi Lan replied, "This island is not near Ningtai, but within the territory of Ningtai. ”

Domestic? She was so shocked that she couldn't speak, she didn't even know that she was taken to Ningtai in Puxi, and she was in a coma for more than two months! Did Yu Hao know that he was taken to Puxi? Did Qiao Xuan know that he was taken to Puxi? If they didn't know, wouldn't they be killed in a hurry for more than two months!

Thinking of this, Tong Yuqing rushed out of the room like crazy, ran to the shore, and anxiously searched for the shadow of the boat along the river, but found nothing, and after a while, Mi Lan finally caught up with her and put on a cold thing for her, "Miss, you don't have to look for it, the only boat on this island has been rowed away by Childe, you can't get out of the island, or hurry into the house." If Childe comes back and sees that your old illness has not been cured, and a new illness arises again, you will definitely be dragged down with your own body. ”

Tong Yuqing still didn't give up, Mi Lan could only continue: "In the days when Miss was sick, Gongzi personally took care of you, dispensed and fed you medicine, except for what he had to let me do, he took care of your body personally. In the first few days, I saw him standing by your side undressed, and he never took his eyes off you for a moment, for fear that something was wrong with you. Because he was too tired in those days, he relapsed several times and lost his physical strength. Miss, do you really not care about Childe's feelings? ”

Mi Lan's words made Tong Yuqing even more suspicious, he had never been to Puxi, it was impossible for him to have such a deep friendship with anyone in Puxi, who was this son?
