The tavern was deserted and depressed.

Although the door was closed, Ying Zhongye gently pushed it, and the door opened. No one took care of it, so it can be seen that the owner of the tavern was not surprised to see if anyone came to steal anything or something.

Xiao Tian frowned and asked Ying Zhongye, "Has it always been like this?" ”

Ying Zhongye said: "The door should be completely open, and I closed the door for him when I left." No one has been cleaning it. ”

Xiao Tian nodded, "Let's go to the back first." ”

It's only a dozen steps from the antechamber to the backyard.

As soon as they arrived in the backyard, they saw the door of the back room open, and in the door, Qiao Bai, who was thinly dressed, knelt in front of the bed, his head bowed, and the person on the bed was covered with a quilt, revealing a calm and serene, but pale and stiff face.

It's quiet, it's quiet, it's cold.

But Qiao Bai didn't feel it.

His back resembles a statue that doesn't move, except that the statue is clothed.

Although Xiao Tian could feel the despair and sadness emanating from his back, she knew very well that she couldn't let him continue like this.

There is a limit to human physical fitness. Qiao Bai, a scholar who usually doesn't exercise and only knows how to read, doesn't know how long he has been kneeling.

Don't even want his knees?

Or had he already lost hope for life?

Xiao Tian made a gesture and motioned to Mingxiu that Ying Midnight and Ma Hong should not follow, but he walked into the house step by step.

Mingxiu was a little uneasy, and instinctively wanted to hold Xiao Tian, but Ma Hong stopped her.

"Your Majesty will be measured." Ma Hong said lightly.

And Xiao Tian was stepping over the threshold, walked in lightly, and walked to the bedside.

"I heard that the obsession of the living will keep the souls of their loved ones." Her voice was slow and quiet, with an unexaggerated silence in the here and now.

It's special.

Qiao Bai came back to his senses almost immediately.

But he didn't look away.

Moreover, he knew that his body was already very stiff. It was so stiff that it seemed like any movement would break his bones.

"But the soul shall not return to its homeland, and where shall it be placed?"

After a long while, Qiao Bai finally spoke.

"There is no soul at all." Because he had not spoken for a long time, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and his throat hurt terribly just by saying such a sentence.

He had to move his tongue so that he could swallow a little saliva to relieve the pain in his throat.

Mingxiu put the medicine box she was carrying on the ground and moved her wrist by the way.

As long as this Qiao Gongzi is willing to speak, the rest of the matter will be easy to handle.

"If so, why didn't my mother come to me."

Xiao Tian said lightly: "You are not your mother, how do you know that she has not come to you?" ”

"I waited two days."

He paused, "Can you believe it?" I knew you would come. ”

Xiao Tian raised his eyebrows.

So, is he waiting for himself?

"My mother was angry with me. She's not going to come back to me, it's me...... I ......"

His expression contorted.

Moreover, his breathing began to be rapid, his chest rose and fell violently, and he obviously had a lot of mood swings.

Xiao Tian was taken aback, and was just about to turn around and call Mingxiu, but at this time, Qiao Bai made a quick move. He grabbed Xiao Tian's clothes and didn't let her leave half a step.

"It's me who is not filial!"

Where does this begin?

Xiao Tian did not speak.

The people outside couldn't hear what they were talking about, so they could only judge how well they were communicating inside based on Xiao Tian's behavior.

When Mingxiu saw Qiao Bai holding his majesty, he couldn't help but want to go in again.

This time, the midnight stopped her.

Mingxiu was not at ease, "Will he hurt Your Majesty?" ”

Ying Zhongye shook his head, "If he dares to hurt His Majesty, I will be the first to cut off his hand." ”

Mingxiu glanced at him speechlessly, but finally calmed down.

There is no way for a weak scholar to hurt His Majesty.

"It's that I don't listen to my mother's words, I didn't mean to say those words to anger my mother's ......"

As soon as he began to speak, there were many words hidden in his heart that would not vomit or be unhappy.

Although he didn't get along with Xiao Tian for a long time, he instinctively believed in him.

"My mother was worried about me and always told me to read less and do more. She was happy to see me selling wine, and she began to be sad when she saw me reading. ”

"I used to think it was because I didn't have any money at home."

Qiao Bai's eyes moistened again.

"Not really."

"Xiao Qing, tell me, as long as I don't want my mother to leave, will she come back? I will never make her angry again, I will never read again, I will sell wine every day as she tells me, I will earn a lot of silver, so that my mother will not worry about our lives, and she will not be very angry, and she will not ......."

Qiao Bai hadn't spoken for a few days. At this time, as soon as he spoke, it was like a chatterbox that could not be closed, and the words he said were like poured beans, even if he was incoherent, but it was enough.

Xiao Tian looked for useful information from what he said.

She finally understood how Qiao Bai's mother died.

Qiao Bai's mother and Qiao Bai had very different ideas.

In Qiao Bai's subconscious, reading can change fate.

But for his mother, reading only brought many bad luck to the family.

If it weren't for reading, Qiao Bai wouldn't be such a dead-eyed character.

If it weren't for reading, Qiao Bai wouldn't often have a strong sense of justice, and then do something that was incompatible with the people in their world.

If it weren't for studying, Qiao Bai wouldn't be so lonely and autistic, he had no friends, and he didn't want to deal with people, and when he was in trouble, there was no one to help him at all.

Qiao Bai's mother could cite 11,000,000 examples of how the people around them who didn't read survived. And in her opinion, they are all living very safely and beautifully.

On the other hand, Qiao Bai.

She couldn't watch him because she was sick, so he provoked so many bad people and was arrested.

She's just such a son. Although she didn't expect this son to provide for her in old age, she hoped that he would at least have a better life and not let himself fall into endless trouble.

Qiao Bai couldn't do it.

She wanted Qiao Bai to give up studying, not to think about scientific examinations, not to think about those unrealistic dreams, and to honestly do tavern business.

Qiao Bai couldn't do it.

In other words, it will not be rational in the end.

Qiao Bai firmly disagreed with what her mother wanted him to do, and described to his mother a future that was perfect in his mind.

But his mother could not understand it, and was very disappointed and even desperate.

The neighbors told her that her son had caused trouble again because of his nosy, and this time it was even more exaggerated, provoking a group of martial arts ruffians who had been captured, and she almost fainted.

finally managed to hold on until her son came back, but he was still so obsessed!
