"Si'er......" I clasped my hands together and held her hand tightly, "You and Yu An...... You guys tonight? You know what I mean, did Yu An ask you for a kiss? ”

"Don't talk about me today." Si'er pulled his hand out from between my hands, and got up to fill my bamboo cup with water again, "Ah Shi, you just don't want Zhao Wuxian to be a bad person, right?" Actually, if I were you, I wouldn't care if the person I liked was a good person or a bad person. As long as he comes home and treats me well and our children well, I will be content. In this world, who can distinguish between good people and bad people? Mr. Zhao is a capable man, and he treats you well, I think that's enough. ”

It doesn't matter if he's a robber who kills people and sells goods, or a cold-blooded and ruthless killer, as long as he treats me well, that's enough?

I looked up at Si'er's face, and my heart fluctuated for a moment.

The night was deep, the wind outside the house was blowing harder and stronger, and the wooden mullioned screen on the wall opened and closed with a chaotic sound under the raging wind.

Si'er turned his head and stared at the slamming window not far away. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she frowned, picked up the oil lamp on the desk and walked to the window.

I thought she was going to re-tie the hemp rope on the window, but she didn't hesitate to push it open. The wind poured into the house with gravel, broken grass, and scattered raindrops, and the oil lamps in Si'er's hands were suddenly extinguished.

"Si'er?" I got up and walked over to Si'er, but by this time, she had already put down the oil lamp and propped up the window with a wooden stick.

"What are you doing here? Close the windows, it's going to rain heavily. ”

Si'er didn't answer me, she frowned and looked at a corner of the courtyard, where an acacia tree was shivering and swaying in the wind.

"Silly girl......" I sighed and surrounded her, "the flowers will always bloom again when they fall, and the acacia flowers can bloom all summer, if you like it, let Yu An plant a few more trees at home in the future." ”

"Ah Shi, Mr. Zhao treats you so well, you won't be separated from him, right?" Si'er turned his head and grabbed my hand tightly. Her palms were cold, and her nails dug deep into my flesh without realizing it.

I looked at her eager eyes, and pulled my hand out of her hand with a painful cry: "Si'er, what benefits did you receive from Zhao Wuxian, to speak for him like this?" ”

"Did I pinch you?" Si'er woke up like a dream, she put her hands together, and hurriedly held my hand, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

"I'm fine. Forget it, you don't have to worry about me and Zhao Wuxian. After a few days, when he and I have calmed down, maybe the problem will be solved. Okay, I'll close the window, you go and light the lights first! ”

"Hmm." Si'er replied softly and turned to look for flint.

I lifted the window panel with one hand and took the stick with the other, but at that moment, the lights suddenly came on in the opposite room. Immediately after, a terrible scream penetrated my ears through the howling wind.

Not good! Fish Woman!

I was so shocked that I pulled my leg and rushed out the door. The moment I opened the door, the two wooden doors of the opposite wing room were slammed open. A woman with a loose hair and only a cloth scarf wrapped around her body rushed out of the door.

"Girl, save me, save me" The woman stumbled towards me like a panicked little beast. Behind her, in the orange-lit room, a man followed, his body up, two Ugin scimitars in his hands flashing dark red with lightning and thunder.

"Girl, help" The fish woman cried and rushed up, I pulled the frightened Si'er behind me and hurried to meet it, and the fish woman fell to the ground with her legs weak.

"Ah Yu, what are you going to do with a knife!" I pulled the trembling fish woman up and held her behind me tightly.

"Girl, Ah just told me that this woman is a spy." Ah Yu slowly walked up with a scimitar in his hand.

"Stop! Don't go any further! I guarded the fish woman with both hands, stared at Ah Yu and shouted.

Ah Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally stopped: "Girl, I want to do what I have to do, you shouldn't stop me." ”

"Girl, I'm not a spy, I'm ...... I ......" the fish woman's hand was holding my waist, and her trembling body was almost entirely attached to my back.

"Fish woman, what's going on? Why does Big Brother Ah Yu say that you are a spy? Si'er turned around and took a robe from the house, and put it on the fish woman.

"Girl, girl, I swear, I really didn't know he was an assassin! Yuro said...... He said he was going to take me away tonight, he said he was going to take me back to Qi Kingdom, he said...... He said he liked me and wanted to marry me...... Girl, I really don't know......" said the fishwoman as she hugged me and snorted.

"Girl, don't listen to her nonsense! She's a spy, and she's the one who lured the assassins into the house! Ah Yu's face turned cold, and he rushed up with a knife regardless of it.

The fishwoman's hand around my waist tightened violently, and a terrible sound came out of her throat, as if someone had grabbed her by the neck. She began to tremble, like a leaf in a raging wind.

Ah Yu stretched out his hand to catch the fish woman, and I took several steps back to protect the fish woman: "Ah Yu, you dare!" Go and call your master! ”

"Girl" Ah Yu didn't dare to use force on me, so she could only watch me yell in frustration.

"Zhao Wuxian, you come out for me!" I yelled at the main house as I stepped back.

The window of the main house opened at the sound of the sound, and the shirtless stood at the window with his hands in his hands.

The courtyard suddenly became quiet, no one spoke, and all that remained in my ears was the whistling wind and the uncontrollable sobbing sound in the fishwoman's throat.

The shirtless face was hidden in the darkness, and I couldn't make out the look on his face, but I knew he must be looking at me at the moment. I didn't want to show weakness to him, let alone beg him, I just looked straight at him with my chin raised.

There was a vague sigh in the wind, and I tried to catch it, but it quickly dissipated into the air.

"Ah Yu, let her go." Shirtless spoke.

I turned my head and nodded soothingly to the fishwoman, but when I turned back again, the person standing at the window was gone.

"Master," Ah Yu stomped his feet and yelled at the main house.

"Fish woman, it's okay." I breathed a sigh of relief and patted the fishwoman's hand around my waist.

The fishwoman gasped and sat down on the ground with a wow. She covered her mouth and cried and laughed, and if others saw it, they might think she was crazy, but I think I can understand the feeling of escaping death.

I pressed heavily on the fish woman's shoulder, then walked to the gate of the courtyard and lifted my hand to remove the wooden strip that was lying on the gate: "Let's go!" Go far away, and don't let us see you again. ”

I opened the courtyard door, but the cry of the fish woman stopped abruptly in my ears, and was replaced by the frantic screams of Si'er, one higher than the other.

I stiffened my turn.

A blood-stained head rolled twice on the ground before finally coming to a halt in front of a raised bluestone.

"Why?" I stared blankly at Ah Yu. I don't understand, I don't understand why he killed his own wife against the order of the unsympathetic. A few hours ago, he had smiled and carried her on his shoulders, hoping that she would give birth to a son for him.

Ah Yu changed the scimitar in his right hand to his left hand, he leaned over and grabbed the fish woman's head and lifted her head from the ground: "Girl, I brought her in, the master can spare her, I can't." Master, I will cut off my arm to apologize. ”

After Ah Yu finished speaking, he took the bloody head and left.

I looked down at the headless female corpse on the ground, and cold tears came out of my eyes.

I don't know what I'm crying for, maybe it's for the fish woman, maybe it's for the servant, maybe it's for this ironic and cruel night.

You deceived the fish woman, and he did the most despicable thing he did back then. Time and hatred can change a person so easily. With just one turn, we will become the person we hated the most. Yuu is dead, and I can't ask him or blame him. Sadness, helplessness, desolation, when these feelings faded away, my heart was left with a blank space. I don't want to blame anyone anymore, I don't want to tell who is right and who is wrong, I just want to close my eyes and get a good night's sleep. Just when all this is really just a nightmare.

I wiped away my tears and hugged Si Ban, who was curled up on the ground: "Let's go!" If you're afraid, close your eyes and I'll take you back to the house. ”

Si'er nodded tremblingly, she clutched the clothes on my chest, but her eyes involuntarily drifted to the corpse of the fish woman. Then, her face changed and she pushed me away violently, crouched on the ground and vomited.

The merciless wind swept away the fishwoman's robes, and she lay half-naked on the ground less than two steps from me.

Since I left the General's Mansion, I have seen many corpses, known and unknown, with severed hands and broken stomachs, but the corpses without heads are the strangest and most pitiful among them. It has no life, no owner, it seems to be just a pile of cold dead flesh abandoned by people. I stood here, and when I raised my eyes slightly, I could see the fish woman's neck bone that had been cut off by the scimitar, but there was no fear in my heart, and I would never vomit tears and vomit again and again like Si'er.

After Yao Nu died, Wu Feng told me that I took death too seriously. He said that after that, I got used to seeing more and getting used to it. Now, is this feeling of emptiness in my heart what he is used to? Why, I envy Si'er's embarrassment even more at the moment?

After vomiting the sour water in his empty stomach, Si'er fumbled and grabbed my hand. Her face crumpled in pain, her eyes were full of tears, and there was a hint of brown filth sticking to her bloodless cheeks. Ah Yu's actions really scared her. During the Battle of Yongcheng, she and Wuxian were sent to Chencang by Wu Feng. Qi was in turmoil, and she was sent to Lu in advance by Wuxian. Along the way, under the protection of everyone, she almost avoided all the bloody storms. But this time, Ah Yu cut off the fish woman's head less than half a zhang away from her.
