I don't know if it's because of the bumps on the road, Yu Jiao didn't sleep very well, and her delicate brows were furrowed.

In a trance, she seemed to have returned to the old world, surrounded by snow-white and cold walls, and the smell of disinfectant water between her noses, Fu Chuan was standing beside her, with a doting smile on her handsome face, and was talking to her, "Jiaojiao, I made your favorite hibiscus shrimp balls and steamed glutinous rice with pork ribs, and it will be cold when I go back later." ”

Yu Jiao wanted to raise her hand to hold him, and wanted to tell him, Senior brother, let's go home for dinner.

But then a cold and glowing knife suddenly slashed over, shocking blood splashed Yu Jiao's face, one hand covered Yu Jiao's eyes, and the warm and viscous liquid dripped on Yu Jiao's cheeks, wetting her collar.

"Jiaojiao......" Fu Chuan's weak, almost inaudible murmur fell into her ears.

Everything around her turned red, Yu Jiao desperately wanted to open her eyes, wanted to make a sound, she wanted to hug Fu Chuan's body that had slipped to the ground, but she couldn't do anything.

Yu Qiyu noticed that Yu Jiao's body was trembling, and stretched out a hand to caress her back.

Yu Jiao suddenly grabbed Yu Qizhen's clothes, like a drowning person clinging to driftwood, and let out a painful and helpless whimper.

Yu Qizhen saw that she seemed to be caught in a nightmare, and called softly, "Yu Jiao, wake up." ”

"Fu Chuan!" Yu Jiao called out the name in despair and depression, and Huo Di opened his eyes and woke up from the nightmare.

The overwhelming blood red disappeared, Yu Jiao's face was pale, her eyes were covered with tears, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, her back was wet and cold, and the whole person couldn't stop shaking.

"But you had a nightmare?" Seeing her dejected appearance, Yu Qizhen slowed down his voice and said comfortingly, "It's okay, it's just a dream." ”

Yu Lingling was also woken up by Yu Jiao's exclamation, but she slept a little dazed, very sleepy, and murmured, "What's wrong...... and fell asleep again.

Seeing that Yu Jiao hadn't come back to his senses for a long time, Yu Qiyu wrapped his big palm around Yu Jiao's small hands, and stroked Yu Jiao's head with the other hand, his voice was gentle like coaxing a child, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

Yu Jiao crouched in Yu Qiyu's warm arms, and she didn't make a sound for a long time, she forced herself to forget the bloody appearance of her senior brother Fu Chuan when he died, and forced herself to stop thinking about those pictures, thinking that in this way she could break free from the despair and pain brought to her by her senior brother's death.

I thought that in this way, I would be able to live like a normal person.

But the guilt that went deep into her bone marrow and the hatred that had nowhere to vent, the powerlessness that burned into the depths of her soul, were like maggots on her tarsal bones, rooted in every inch of her memory, hidden in every minute of her capillaries.

Insidious dull aches.

"Call me." Yu Jiao raised her little face, her apricot eyes were stained with unfading wetness, and she looked at Yu Qizhen urgently, making a almost inaudible sound, as if she was asking for help.

"Yu Jiao, Yu Jiao, Yu Jiao......" Yu Qizhen saw that her lips were pale, and her usually light and breezy little face showed a panicked and helpless look, and her heart ached, and she called out over and over again.

Yu Jiao closed her eyes, and a voice in her heart said, no, it should be a junior sister.

The person who called her sister was gone.

It's gone.

Yu Jiao's heart was sour, obviously closed her eyes, and tears still seeped out uncontrollably from the cracks of her eyes.

There was a wetness on her chest, Yu Qi hugged her, put his chin against her forehead, and called her name softly, full of pity.

Fu Chuan, Yu Qiyu thought of this unfamiliar name in his heart, he had never heard of it, but this person could affect Yu Jiao's heart so much, which made him a little uneasy, and there was some faint jealousy and resentment.

For so long, he had never seen Yu Jiao cry.

She has always been strong and calm, unhurried, and indifferent.

At the beginning, the He family came to the door aggressively, and she was pushed out, and she shed tears without hesitation and fear.

When the strip of cloth embedded in the flesh was torn off with blood, it didn't hurt to shed tears.

But today I just had a dream, but I shed tears.

Yu Qiyu felt very uncomfortable, wanting to find out if Yu Jiao was dreaming of a man, wondering who this Fu Chuan was, and what it had to do with Yu Jiao, it was worth her dreaming and waking up to cry.

But for now, he can only endure it, and he restrains the anxiety and desire to explore in his heart like a weed.

Yu Qizhen's breath sprayed on the top of Yu Jiao's head, she pulled out her hand from Yu Qizhen's palm, wiped away her tears, and refused to let herself indulge in that desperate and depressed mood for too long, otherwise she would only sink deeper and deeper into the hopeless abyss until she collapsed.

It's been all these years, maybe you force yourself to forget, and you can really forget it.

"I ...... I'm fine, I just had a not-so-good dream. Yu Jiao raised her little face, and Yu Qizhen almost touched the tip of her nose, and noticed that at this moment, she was sitting in Yu Qizhen's arms, the two were intimate, a little embarrassed, Yu Jiao was a little embarrassed to retreat back, and hurriedly got up from Yu Qizhen's arms.

Yu Qizhen's arm was slightly loose, and she was let out of her arms, Yu Jiao got up too violently, and almost hit the carriage overhead, Yu Qizhen's eyes quickly pressed her shoulder, and said softly, "The carriage is bumpy, don't touch it." ”

Yu Jiao thought of hiding in his arms and shedding tears, and asked Yu Qi to call her name, her face flushed slightly, moved to sit next to him, and quietly glanced at Yu Poria, seeing that she was still asleep, and she didn't seem to be woken up by the movement she made, so she was slightly relieved.

Yu Lingling was actually awake as early as when Yu Qizhen called Yu Jiao's name, but when she opened her eyes and saw Yu Jiao nesting in Qi Jiao's arms, she didn't dare to make a sound, she felt a little embarrassed, so she closed her eyes again and pretended to be asleep.

The carriage slowed down suddenly, and gradually heard the sound of people, Yu Jiao lifted the curtain and looked outside.

From a distance, I saw many people standing on both sides of the official road, including vendors carrying burdens, women holding children, and students who also came to Qingzhou to take the exam with a book basket.

Qingzhou City is already vaguely visible, and this sleep is actually outside Qingzhou City.

The carriage approached the city gate, and it became more and more slow, and the city guards were checking the people entering the city, and they did not know what was going on.

The coachman who was driving the car stopped his horse's head, jumped off the wheel, and turned back to Yu Jiao and the three people in the carriage, "The little one goes to the front to inquire." ”

After a while, the coachman turned around and said, "It seems that a criminal minister has absconded, and the imperial court has asked all the prefectures to strictly investigate, and our master said that it doesn't matter, so don't worry about Young Master Yu and the young ladies." ”

Yu Jiao nodded, and Yu Ling, who pretended to be asleep, woke up leisurely, rubbed her eyes, and said, "Why did the carriage stop?" ”

"We're in Qingzhou." Yu Jiao said.

Yu Lingling leaned over the car window, looked outside, and said excitedly, "The gate of this Qingzhou Mansion is really magnificent!" ”
