CHAPTER XXIII

When I woke up in the morning, it was another sunny day, and the soft sunlight shone warmly through the panes. Yang Jinxin rubbed her eyes and sat up slowly, she patted her face ignorantly, she didn't expect that it was strange that she could sleep well after what happened yesterday.

No longer thinking about how Huo Donglai moved himself to bed, Yang Jinxin got up lightly, and as usual, went to his mother's room to have a look.

Knocking lightly on the door, Yang Jinxin pushed it open with a "squeak", she just stepped into the threshold, and almost tripped over something extra on the ground.

"Yikes!" With an exclamation, Yang Jinxin realized that it was Huo Donglai who was sleeping on the ground who tripped herself, he curled his body slightly, sleeping very soundly, the sun shone on his deep eyelashes, leaving a shadow, she never found out that his eyelashes were so good-looking.

It must have been because it was too late yesterday, so he rested here, and in order to avoid suspicion, he made a bunk in the outer room of his mother's room. Yang Jinxin squatted down lightly and helped him straighten out the quilt, Huo Donglai moved, turned over and didn't wake up.

The blood stains on his back were particularly eye-catching. Yang Jinxin's irrepressible heartbeat accelerated, his fingers trembled slightly, and the quilt was lowered a little, and he saw that behind this, there was a mess of scarlet.

She didn't care about the difference between men and women, she stretched out her hand to unbutton the front button, and as soon as she unbuttoned the two, she was caught. Huo Donglai squinted slightly and turned over, his voice hoarse as he had just woken up.

"Jinxin, you actually took advantage of me to fall asleep and insulted me."

Yang Jinxin ignored his oily tone and said with a calm face: "You untie your clothes and show me!"

Huo Donglai was stunned for a moment, pinched his neckline tightly, and said with a smile: "Do you know the difference between men and women, I won't show you if you don't get married for a day!"

"Untie it for me!" Yang Jinxin still didn't buy it, and hurriedly pulled his clothes, "Huo Donglai, if you don't show me today, don't think about me in the future!" ”

When he saw the wound on his back, Yang Jinxin couldn't help crying, this horizontal and vertical mark is really fleshy. His already fair skin was red, with occasional grinning wounds, and pink tender flesh was clearly visible. There was still scarlet blood in the pink, and the original skin color was no longer visible.

She grabbed his shirt tightly, Huo Donglai pulled it a few times without pulling it, with a gentle voice with a smile, and kept comforting her: "Don't cry, don't cry, it's just a whiplash, and it will be fine soon!"

"Where did you get hurt? Why didn't you tell me? You also carried me back last night, Huo Donglai, you ...... You...... I'll ignore you in the future! Yang Jinxin was still in tears, looking at his injury, thinking that she was lying on this scarred back last night, she wanted to slap herself, she obviously found out that something was wrong in the church before, she was also mixed up by him, she was so stupid.

"Look, you see, I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would cry, and I said that it was okay, I had rough skin and thick meat, and I would be fine soon!" The most unbearable thing for Huo Donglai is that she is crying, and she is already in a hurry at this time, "You can treat it for me, wash the wound, put some medicine or something, okay?" ”

Yang Jinxin pinched the tampon ball, carefully wiped the wound, and asked him while blowing: "Why did it hurt like this?"

Huo Donglai grinned and said meaninglessly: "I wore out the skin in the army before, and then, my father smoked again, that's it, it will be fine soon!"

Yang Jinxin paused for a moment and asked gloomily: "It's because we are together, that's why you were beaten!"

"Don't be cranky!" Huo Donglai turned around, looked at her lost face, and chuckled: "I've been beaten by my father since I was a child, and he hasn't been able to beat me once, hehe, soon they will give in."

Yang Jinxin looked at his handsome face, her willow eyebrows furrowed, and she couldn't speak, she understood that he was comforting her. He is an only son, obedient and sensible since he was a child, except for taking himself to escape school a few times, he has never done anything to annoy his parents, every time he ...... It's all because of myself.

After wiping the medicine tremblingly, Huo Donglai's white shirt could no longer be worn, he frowned, and pulled his clothes with a disgusted look, "I think I'm going to buy clothes, Jinxin, go with me!" ”

"I still have to boil medicine for my mother, I ran away for a day yesterday, and I'll go to see my sister later, otherwise, don't buy it, go home and change it!" Yang Jinxin straightened his collar for him and said.

Huo Donglai shook his head like a rattle, "I won't go back, I've been living here these days, and I'm not going back to the army, anyway, I'll be here!" ”

He hugged her waist coquettishly, "You are not allowed to drive me away, and you have to accompany me to buy clothes, I can't just wear this one!" ”

Yang Jinxin pouted, it was rare to see him look so childish, and said with a smile: "But I really have something, you obediently go buy it yourself, stay here for a few days and wait for Hall Director Huo's anger to disappear, and then you go back, okay?"

Huo Donglai said reluctantly with a look of grievance: "Then you want to make osmanthus cake for me, I will agree."

Yang Jinxin glared at him, thinking that he had already seen the dried osmanthus she had received, so he made this request, and nodded with a smile. I saw Huo Donglai jumping up happily, showing a childlike smile, quickly imprinting a kiss on her cheek, and running away quickly.

Yang Jinxin covered his kissed face with one hand, only to feel like a fire, as sweet as honey to his heart.

……

In the back flower hall of the Overseer's Mansion, there were two pots of Junzi Orchid served by Mrs. Qin, and Qin Muyang leaned on the bright yellow leather sofa, fiddling with the fat leaves with his fingers.

"Look, Mom, the fourth brother is playing with your orchid again." Fifth Miss Qin Shuyao pointed at Qin Muyang while shaking Mrs. Qin.

Qin Muyang glanced at her, jumped over suddenly, and grabbed Qin Shuyao's hair curls, "Little girl, you have sued me since I was a child." ”

Qin Shuyao screamed and slapped his hands, Mrs. Qin put down the newspaper in her hand and interrupted the fight between the brothers and sisters, "Okay, okay, how old are the two of them, and they still don't give up, Shuyao hurry up and practice your piano, do you want to go to music school!" ”

"Mom, you're biased, and the fourth brother is pulling my hair again!" Qin Shuyao stood up, pouting with grievances on her face, and seeing Qin Muyang coming over with her teeth and claws open, she hurriedly ran away, stomped her feet and went to the piano room.

Qin Muyang smiled, sat back on the sofa, took a sip of the teacup, and saw Mrs. Qin put the newspaper in front of him, and said, "That's why you stayed at home?"

After taking another sip of tea, Qin Muyang looked down to see that on the front page of the newspaper, there were large photos of the shops in the shopping mall after the smashing, and the big font on it read:

Strongly condemn the civil war and resolutely resist Japan and Russia!

"Our president has the world in his heart, I, the second ancestor, just put on a show and give Qin Jiajun a reassurance, like this kind of troubled water, I won't go to it!" Qin Muyang put down the teacup, leaned lazily on the sofa again, and turned around to get the leaves of the Junzi Orchid, "Mom, your orchid can bloom this year!" ”

Mrs. Qin was still looking at the newspaper, ignoring him, and after a while, she asked again, "Then what do you want to do now?"

Qin Muyang clasped his hands on his knees, looked at his mother with a straight face, and squinted slightly, "I'm waiting for him to be a traitor!" ”

Having said this, the phone rang, Qin Muyang stretched out his hand and lifted the phone, and Li Zhongyuan's angry voice came from inside.

"Si Shao, I have a good news and a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Qin Muyang roared angrily: "If there is a fart, let it go!"

Li Zhongyuan on the other end of the phone sighed twice, "I'm dedicated to you, why can't I please you?" Let me tell you, the bad news is that the dead child of the Huo family spent the night at your little lover's house last night. The good news is that he has been escorted back by his father at this time. But...... came to the door to find trouble, your little lover and her mother, it's almost gone......"

On the phone, before Li Zhongyuan's words were finished, Qin Muyang quickly hung up the phone, picked up the coat on the shelf, and said to Mrs. Qin: "I'll go out for a while." I hurried out the door.

In the Baijin Road compound just half an hour ago, only ten minutes after Huo Dong came and left, he ushered in an uninvited guest.

At that time, Yang Jinxin went out to grab medicine for his mother, and when he returned to the hospital, he heard his mother's heart-rending cough, which was mixed with Mrs. Huo's sharp voice.

"It's a shame that you're still everyone's lady, depending on what kind of daughter you have taught, then Yang Jinhuan became a dancer in the rose garden, and she also smoked opium and became a secret prostitute. Yang Jinxin, who is well-behaved and clever on the surface, hooked up with Qin Sishao on the one hand, and twisted my family Donglai on the other hand, and the harmful Donglai was squeezed out in the army, and my lord was demoted, and his job was immediately lost. Cao Qiaolan, our family is not sorry for you, Donglai has taken care of your mother and daughter all these years, what did I say, I don't ask you to repay, I just ask you not to harm my Huo family, I beg you, I beg you to do it......"

She said word by word, and the words were clear, Yang Jinxin rushed upstairs with a white face, and saw Mrs. Huo, who was wearing a red cheongsam, pointing at her mother with one hand, looking sad and angry. And Mother Yang, who was sitting on the bed, her face was pale, she had coughed so much that she couldn't make a sound, and when she saw Yang Jinxin coming in, she couldn't get up in one breath, and pointed at her with a trembling finger, "Wow", spit out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person fell crooked on the side of the bed, without an angry appearance.

"Mother......" Yang Jinxin exclaimed, rushed over, and hurriedly pushed Mrs. Huo, "You go, don't come to my house again, don't come to my house and talk nonsense!" ”

Mrs. Huo was unguarded, and was pushed by her for a while, and she was even more angry, screaming, and the maid next to her hurriedly accused Yang Jinxin, and the house was in chaos for a while.

Yang Jinxin didn't care about arguing with them anymore, so he just went to see his mother, "Mother...... Don't scare me......"

Trembling his fingers and reaching out to his mother, he couldn't feel her breathing, Yang Jinxin forcefully moved his mother to the bed and lay down, her body was still warm. Yang Jin didn't care about wiping his tearful face, knelt on the bed, and tried his best to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation for his mother, using all his strength at once.

"Mother...... Wake up soon...... Mother...... My sister and I are fine...... We didn't do that...... Mother......"

Yang Jinxin called out to his mother intermittently, and kept exerting force in his hands......

When Qin Muyang arrived, there were residents of the courtyard outside the house, and on the bed in the room, Yang Jinxin was still pressing Yang's mother's chest hard one at a time, I don't know how long she had been pressing, the sweat had wet the broken hair on her forehead, she was trembling violently, her voice was intermittent, hoarse.

Walking forward gently, Qin Muyang stretched out his hand to reach under Yang Mu's nose, he had already lost his breath, and his body was already cold.

"Jinxin......" Qin Muyang looked at her and called her softly, "Jinxin, your mother is gone, don't press it!" ”

Yang Jinxin couldn't hear his words at all, and still kept in his hands, "Jinxin!" Don't press it anymore! Qin Muyang lifted her up vigorously, and saw that her face was pale and sluggish, and her face was covered with tears mixed with sweat.

"You go away!" Yang Jinxin pushed him away violently and bent down to press, "Don't get in the way, my mother will wake up soon!" ”

Qin Muyang lifted her shoulder again, looked into her eyes and said word by word: "She is already dead, she will not wake up!"
