He later went to the rouge shop and the pastry shop himself, and found that the young men there were also very young and handsome. So he was furious and rushed home for the first time to question the woman.

"What did she say?" Song Yao's voice was a little hoarse.

Qiu Ran smiled bitterly, "She didn't say anything, but not saying it means acquiescence, isn't it?" ”

However, the man decided to forgive his wife, after all, he still loved her, and she carried his original and all fantasies about love.

But in order to prevent the same thing from happening again, he sent away the people in the house, and even the maid who was close to the woman was also driven away. Of course, he also began to restrict women from going out, not even visiting their parents' homes.

From then on, he and her were left in this house.

Looking at the empty courtyard, the man finally let go of a heart that had been hanging for months, he felt that his whole body was transparent, and even his exhalation was much smoother. Although he has to take care of many things himself, and these trivial chores take up almost half of his day, he doesn't care. Being able to stay with two women, holding hands against each other, is already satisfying to him.

But his hard work was not accepted by the woman, on the contrary, in exchange for her long-term indifference.

Originally, there was not much communication between them, because the woman seemed to have always been jealous of men, and now, after experiencing such a few things, she seemed to be not afraid of him, but at the same time, she completely ignored him, and even lost her face.

She often sat alone by the window, watching the sun rise and the moon set, summer and autumn outside, with a heavy sadness on her face.

She gradually lost weight, so thin that only a handful of bones remained, but he was reluctant to ask Lang Zhong to come and see the disease, because ...... He didn't want her to see any man but himself. In the play, I don't often say anything about "dazzling and unspeakable, and the soul flies in the middle of the day," what "Dan Gu looks at the end".

He didn't dare to risk this kind of thing happening to his own house.

But at this time, there happened to be a business in the province that required him to go by himself, so after weighing everything, he brought the woman's parents to accompany her, and he left home after repeated hesitation.

This walk was January, and for the first time in his life, he knew what it meant to be sleepless and sleepless, and what it meant to live like a year, so he rushed back ahead of schedule, and for this reason, he almost fell into the rolling torrent while crossing the river.

At last he saw his longing wife, who had lost even more weight, and the care of her parents-in-law did not seem to have improved her illness in the slightest, and she was now so sick that she could not even get out of bed, and her face was so pale that there was no blood.

However, when she saw him, she suddenly sat up from the bed, pointed at the man with a thin hand, and screamed a few times, her eyes were round, and the last splendor of her dying light was reflected in her eyeballs.

She saw the person she was worried about, so she went with peace of mind that night.

Qiu Ran sobbed, "I regret it, I didn't accompany her through the last stretch of the road, and I didn't fulfill my promise to her." ”

"What...... Promise? Song Yao pulled her hand out of his palm, she suddenly didn't want to be held by him now, she didn't want to.

"Life is the same, death is the same." Qiu Ran laughed weakly, with a crying voice in his voice, "That was the song we heard when we first met in the tea garden, although she did something sorry for me later, but I have always kept this sentence in my heart, and I have never forgotten it for a day." I always thought that in the future, I would be buried with her...... But then I met you, and I ...... But I don't know how to fulfill my promise to her. ”

When he said this, his voice became smaller and smaller, and after a while, Song Yao felt that there was no movement next to him, so he stiffened his neck and turned his head: Qiu Ran was already asleep, so familiar that he couldn't even hear the sound of breathing, like a dead man.

Song Yao shuddered, she made up her mind that on October 15, she would escape from here no matter what, even if she was beaten to death by her brother and sister-in-law after going back, she would not hesitate to do so.

***

As the old couple of the Qiu family said, Qiu Ran really left home on the morning of October 15, and before leaving, he told Song Yao that he had an urgent matter to deal with and would come back in three or five days.

But although the time and place are favorable, people are not in harmony, and Song Yao fell ill the day before.

The illness is not serious, it is just a simple cold, but the heat does not come out, the person is still very uncomfortable, the body is cold and hot for a while, and the mind is also confused. In addition, the weather has been getting colder and colder recently, so she feels even heavier, and every step she takes is like stepping on a cotton ball, staggering and unsteady.

But her plans didn't change because of her illness.

She only had this one chance, and if she didn't succeed, she would have to survive in this gloomy mansion.

Therefore, after Qiu Ran left home for an hour, she made sure that he had gone away, Song Yao picked up the baggage prepared in advance and went out. There was nothing in the baggage, except for a few clothes that she had brought from home, a few silver ingots and some food that the old couple of the Qiu family had forcibly stuffed her a few days ago.

The moment she stepped out of the room, she glanced at the gloomy sky, and at this moment several crows flew overhead, startled by the sound of her pushing the door, and made an unpleasant "quack" sound.

Raven again.

Song Yao glanced at these few black shadows that passed by quickly, locked the door and walked quickly towards the east wing, where the second elder of the Qiu family lived, although they said that she didn't have to make a special trip to leave, but she still felt that it was necessary for her to go.

She walked along the corridor, and the bamboo planted outside the corridor was rustled by the wind, which made her already nervous mood even more anxious, and if it weren't for the illness on her body, she would almost run.

The east wing room was in front, and before Song Yao arrived, he had already whispered: "Dad, mother, are you there?" ”

She wanted to leave after meeting the old couple, and she didn't even have to enter the door, but no one in the house responded to her, but the door was hidden and not closed.

"Dad, mother." Song Yao hesitated for a moment and stepped forward, pushing the door open with a light touch of her hand, "Dad, mother, are you here?" ”

She poked her head in, her gaze resting on the bed where the curtain had rested. Through the plain green gauze tent, she vaguely saw two people lying on the bed, and the hand of the one outside was still peeking out of the tent, swaying gently around the bed.

"Dad, mother." She raised her voice again, but no one answered.

Song Yao felt that the hairs on her body stood up, and although her body was still hot, cold sweat rolled down her back, soaking all her clothes.
