Looking at Mo Jiu's gradually pale and haggard face, Ye Ruzhen ran outside the house alone and squatted down to hug herself and cry, when she thought of her mother, she felt scared, she was so afraid that Mo Jiu would leave her silently like that.

Zhou Meng ran to Ye Ruzhen's side, reached out and patted Ye Ruzhen's shoulder, and said worriedly: "Sister Ye, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ye Ruzhen wiped her tears, suddenly turned her head, looked at Zhou Meng and shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Sister Ye just got her eyes into the sand." ”

"Sister Ye, you must be lying to me, although I am young, I can tell that Sister Ye is crying." As he spoke, he also choked up: "Sister Ye, tell me, is it that Brother Jiu's illness can't be cured!" Woooooo Is Brother Nine leaving us? ”

As soon as Ye Ruzhen heard this, her tears could no longer be suppressed, and they fell cracklingly, she hugged Zhou Meng and cried: "Brother Nine will definitely be fine, Brother Nine will definitely be fine!" I'll definitely find a way to get him back! ”

Zhou Mengwa burst into tears and cried: "We are all children without fathers and mothers!" It was Brother Nine who gave us a home! Brother Nine is our family! I don't want our ninth brother to leave! After saying that, he cried again. The children in the house also gathered around when they heard the sound, and a group of people gathered around and cried.

Ye Ruzhen has witnessed the departure of her relatives since she was a child, she understands the pain of not having a family, Mo Jiu is the person she loves, and even more so her family, how can she be willing to let him leave!

After a long time, she calmed the children and went back to sleep, and she sat alone in the bright moonlight for a long, long time, and she felt that she was a dead wood, and her withered heart was gone.

The next day, she knelt on the side of the street begging with the children as usual, and they were pulling their throats together, kowtowing their heads, and begging, "Please help us!" Please help us! We want money to save people! We want money to save people! ”

Kneeling down with numb legs, unconscious, until the forehead was bleeding, still no one was willing to give them a few more copper plates, there was a little boy in a gorgeous brocade robe who ran to them out of curiosity and looked at them for a long time, the child's mother saw that the little boy was in front of the beggar, so she immediately ran to the little boy, the little boy asked his mother: "What are these people doing?" Why is it so weird? ”

The little boy's mother grabbed the little boy's hand and snorted coldly: "These people are called beggars!" No father, no mother, smelly and dirty! Just like the stinky rats in the sewers! ”

"Why don't they have a father or a mother? Is it their father and mother who don't want them? The little boy asked innocently.

"Of course! Otherwise, how could it be like this?! They're not like us! All right! What are they to look at! Let's hurry home! The richly dressed woman dragged the little boy away.

"Well, yes, mother. What delicious food did Daddy prepare for us today? The little boy said softly.

"Your dad has prepared your favorite roast chicken for you, let's go! Let's go home! As she spoke, the woman took the little boy a far, far away.

Zhou Meng looked at the woman and the little boy who were gradually walking away, and cried again, with two red marks on his gray little face, and he was sobbing from crying.

Ye Ruzhen hurriedly ran to Zhou Meng's side and hugged him and comforted: "Mengmeng, don't cry." ”

Zhou Meng leaned his head on Ye Ruzhen's shoulder and said while crying: "Ah! Why am I a child without a father and a mother! Woooooo Will Brother Nine leave us too! Woooooo I don't want to be a child without a father and a mother! I don't want Brother Nine to leave us! Woooooo ”

Ye Ruzhen's heart ached, tears fell again, and her originally hesitant heart was firm again, she couldn't delay it any longer, she couldn't watch Mo Jiu's illness drag it out anymore.

"Brother Nine will definitely be fine, he will definitely be fine." Ye Ruzhen comforted.

Ye Ruzhen told Zhou Meng that they were going to help Mo Jiu grab medicine and broke them away, she came to the door of the luxurious mansion with heavy steps, and the two vivid stone lions at the door were staring at Ye Ruzhen with big eyes, along the way, Ye Ruzhen wanted to turn around and go back several times, but every time she turned around and wanted to leave, she would think of Mo Jiu's thin and haggard sick face.

She can't go, she can only go forward, only there can be money, only there can save Mo Jiu's life!

"Zhou's Mansion"

Two bright and bright characters are dazzling on the huge plaque, the white wall of the Zhumen, a magnificent appearance, her steps are a little trembling, she gritted her teeth, forced herself to come to the door and said to the doorman: "I am looking for Young Master Zhou, my name is Ye Ruzhen." ”

Zhou Yaozong was extremely excited when he saw Ye Ruzhen coming, and in the end, it was a fish that couldn't escape from his fishing net, and now he didn't send it to the door by himself.

That day, Ye Ruzhen didn't know how she got out of Zhoufu, her whole body was covered with wounds that had been tossed, and some of them were broken and bloody and stuck to her clothes, she didn't dare to pull her clothes, as long as she pulled them, the skin and flesh fell off with the clothes.

She came to the hospital with the two ingots of silver in her hand, the doctor originally wanted to drive people away when she saw Ye Ruzhen, thinking that this person had no money to make a fuss, she didn't have the time to spare, and she was about to leave, but she didn't expect to see Ye Ruzhen take out two ingots of silver and put them in front of her, she opened a pair of pitiful eyes, and a pleading pleading on her pale face, she said slowly: "Doctor, can you grab a few patches of medicine?" ”

The doctor looked her up and down, looked at the two ingots of silver in her hand, and snorted, "If you have silver, you can." ”

So the doctor helped Ye Ruzhen prescribe a few patches of medicine, but she didn't know that the doctor was a black-hearted person, he didn't have any so-called prescription for the epidemic at all, all he wanted was money.

Poor Ye Ruzhen used all the money to exchange for those few patches of medicine and went back, and decocted the medicine for Mo Jiu to drink, she thought that Mo Jiu would slowly get better, but where did she think that the world was hot and cold, and people's hearts were not ancient!

After Mo Jiu drank the medicine, he coughed lightly twice, the warm eyes of the past had dimmed, only the weakness and sickness of his body, he said angrily: "Xiaoru, am I dying?" I've been getting more and more blurry lately, Xiaoru, I'm not typhoid at all, is it? You lied to me, didn't you? ”

Ye Ruzhen shook her head, bit her lip and denied: "Brother Jiu, you really have typhoid fever, you are getting better, you are really getting better!" You know, Xiao Ru never lies. ”

Mo Jiu opened his dry lips, raised his eyes to look at Ye Ruzhen, and said slowly: "Xiao Ru, I know my own body, in fact, you don't have to lie to me, I can feel it." After saying that, he coughed again.

Ye Ruzhen hurriedly said: "Brother Jiu, you will definitely be fine!" You're going to be fine! ”

Mo Jiu smiled bitterly: "Xiao Ru, this disease should be an epidemic!" You don't have to lie to me, so many people who got the epidemic before had the same symptoms as I do now, in fact, you don't have to lie to me! Xiaoru, there is no way to cure this disease! It's better to leave it alone, let me go quietly and alone! There is so much money spent on medicine these days, we don't have any money, so don't spend it anymore! This money can buy lots and lots of food for the children! ”

Ye Ruzhen shook her head desperately and cried: "Don't say that! Nine Brothers! You're going to be fine, you're going to be fine! We're family! Of course we want to be together forever! No one can do it without it! Brother Jiu, don't you leave us behind, okay? ”

Mo Jiu suddenly felt that his heart was stabbed hard, his heart began to hurt violently, his shoulders trembled, he cried, and tears slipped from his eyes: "Xiaoru, I'm actually just a child that no one wants, what is there to be saved!" ”

Ye Ruzhen cried: "No! You're not a child that no one wants, you're our family! The kind that will never leave for a lifetime! ”

"Family......" Mo Jiu muttered that word, his heart warm and painful.

He used to be so eager for his family, how eager he was to never leave others, but Daddy and Auntie didn't want him, even Brother Mo and Brother Bai didn't want him when they left!

"Family ......" is synonymous with his desire and fear of loss.

It seemed that something was burning in his heart, he really shouldn't give up like this, Xiaoru needed him, so many children also needed him, he couldn't just go.

"Xiaoru, we are a family that will never be separated for the rest of our lives! I will never leave you. Mo Jiu raised his star-studded eyes, and the gray place in his eyes lit up again.

Ye Ruzhen looked at him, somehow, her heart became steady, she really wanted to hug him and said to him: "Brother Jiu, I like you, I want to be with you for the rest of my life." ”

But I'm so dirty, I don't deserve it!

In order to cure Mo Jiu's illness, Ye Ruzhen went to the Zhou Mansion again and again, but the silver given by Zhou Yaozong became less and less, she asked Zhou Yaozong if he could give more silver, and Zhou Yaozong said arrogantly: "As long as you are willing to kneel in front of me and give me a few heads, I will give you an extra ingot of silver." ”

Ye Ruzhen couldn't help it, she gritted her teeth and knelt on the ground, knocking and begging: "Young Master Zhou, please, give me more silver!" Young Master Zhou, please! Give me more money. ”

Zhou Yaozong looked at Ye Ruzhen, who was low in front of him, and was very happy, he slowly walked in front of Ye Ruzhen, raised her chin and said, "As long as you lick my shoes clean, I will give you a few more ingots of silver!" ”

Ye Ruzhen's tears crackled out, what choice did she have, she had no choice at all, she was just a piece of firewood and grass rolled into the mud! There is only the fate of being impregnated, only being trampled.

She took the money to the hospital, the wounds on her body gradually festered today, she couldn't even walk in pain, her whole body was covered with wounds, fortunately, the clothes on her body were very dark and heavy, and the fabric of the clothes was very thick, no one could see it.

She carried the patches home, and in the dead of night, she pulled open her shirt to give herself the medicine, and as soon as the medicine touched the wound, she was sweating all over her head and her lips were white in pain.

Zhou Meng suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, he turned his head sideways and saw Ye Ruzhen was medicating his wound in the dim candlelight, he cried all of a sudden, Sister Ye always went out recently, but she mysteriously didn't tell herself, every time she came back, she didn't let herself touch her, she said that she went to work in a restaurant, but which restaurant needs to get injured when she works?

The next day, after Ye Ruzhen went out, Zhou Meng quietly followed and found that Ye Ruzhen had entered a big mansion, he had a very bad premonition in his heart, and he hurried home to tell Mo Jiu everything.

Mo Jiu didn't care about his body, so he ran out and came to the door of the big mansion.

He swallowed his saliva, mustered up the courage to run to the door and knocked desperately, and the person in charge saw the sick Mo Jiu in front of him, and hurriedly took a broom and drove him out.

"Please, let me go in and find Ye Ruzhen!" Mo Jiu grabbed the person in charge and pleaded.

"What Ye Ruzhen? I've never heard this man's name! The steward's eyebrows were raised, and he said arrogantly.

"No, she's in there! You let me in! Mo Jiu threw himself in front of the steward and begged him to let him in.

"No is no!" The steward yelled angrily, threw Mo Jiu over, and made up for it.

Mo Jiu rolled down the stone steps, his whole body was hurt, he slowly stood up, and continued to knock on the door.

was beaten out again and again, and the steward really couldn't get rid of Mo Jiu, so he entered the door and told Zhou Yaozong about it, Zhou Yaozong pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and suddenly became interested, and instructed the steward on the side: "Since he wants to come, let him in, so that he can see this big show!" ”

The steward looked at the unbearable picture, his scalp was numb, this Young Master Zhou has always had a strange temper and a ruthless temperament, I don't know what good ideas he has come up with to have fun now.

Zhou Yaozong's caretaker was stunned, and hurriedly urged: "Let you go, you will go quickly!" "The attitude is terrible to the extreme.

The steward looked at Zhou Yaozong's eyes, trembled, and trembled: "Okay! I'll hurry up! ”

Then Mo Jiu was let in, and the steward sent Mo Jiu to the door of Zhou Yaozong's room, and then turned around and fled.

Mo Jiu pushed open the door in front of him with all his might, and he saw an unsightly picture, Zhou Yaozong was smiling at him, his smile was cold and gloomy, like cold dry bones.

He slowly walked to Mo Jiu's side and looked at him condescendingly.

"Where is Xiaoru?" Mo Jiuji asked.

Zhou Yaozong laughed, and his voice was mocking: "Look at it, isn't Miss Xiaoru there?" After speaking, he pointed his finger at the bloody man.

Mo Jiu rushed to Ye Ruzhen's face, wrapped her in clothes, he hugged her and cried.

"Why are you doing this to her?" Mo Jiu's eyes were red and he looked at Zhou Yaozong, and said hoarsely.

Zhou Yaozong chuckled and said, "Little brother, you don't know what Miss Xiaoru used to do, right?" I know, I'll tell you! As small as she used to be, she was the signboard of Mingyan Tower! I like her son-in-law too much! What Li Gongzi, Zhang Gongzi, Wang Gongzi, they are all good friends of mine, we all know each other! So this is nothing to Xiaoru girl! ”

Ye Ruzhen, who was in her arms, closed her eyes dying, and kept muttering: "Brother Jiu, don't listen, don't listen......" said as tears slid down the corners of his eyes.

Mo Jiu couldn't stop trembling holding Ye Ruzhen's body, and a stuffy breath suddenly surged up in his throat, but it was more resentment, more hatred.

He hated himself for not protecting Ye Ruzhen.

That Zhou Yaozong lowered his eyebrows and smiled, he saw Mo Jiu's face pale because of shock, his heart was even happier, and he continued to say: "Little brother, I have to tell you one more thing!" ”

Ye Ruzhen cried and muttered: "Don't listen, don't listen......

After Zhou Yaozong laughed a few times frantically, he looked at Mo Jiu's pale face with a distorted face and continued: "Little brother, do you know where the money for your sick treatment came from? ”

Ye Ruzhen opened her eyes, looked at Zhou Yaozong with wet red eyes, gritted her teeth and kept begging: "Young Master Zhou, don't say it, okay?" ”

Where would Zhou Yaozong care about others, he continued condescendingly: "Little brother! The money you paid for your treatment was bought by Miss Ru with her body in exchange for me! Hahaha! After saying that, he laughed wildly, and his laughter kept echoing in the empty room.

That laughter was like a sharp knife stabbing Mo Jiu's heart, and it was painful and bloody in an instant.

Mo Jiu felt like he had been torn into piece after piece, and his heart was broken into piece after piece, it hurt so much! I feel like I can't breathe!

Mo Jiu looked down at Ye Ruzhen and angrily blamed: "Xiao Ru, why do you do so many things for me? You might as well let me die like this! That's how I die! ”

After saying that, his throat was hot, and a stream of blood spat out.

Zhou Yaozong looked at Mo Jiu and Ye Ruzhen who were in pain in front of him, and he laughed happily, as if the void body had been filled and his whole soul had been satisfied, what he wanted was this kind of extremely stimulating happiness.

After laughing for a long time, Zhou Yaozong said lightly: "Okay, I've had enough!" Get out of here! ”

Mo Jiu was trembling all over, the green tendons on his forehead protruded, he bit his lip, almost wanted to cry blood, Zhou Yaozong was about to turn around and leave, who knew that Mo Jiu rushed up with an arrow, grabbed Zhou Yaozong's arm, and bit it hard.

Mo Jiu used all his strength, Zhou Yaozong felt that Mo Jiu was like a mad dog, his arm was bitten very painfully, he kicked Mo Jiu's body, Mo Jiu rolled on the ground in pain, his mouth was full of blood, he spit out, only to see a piece of bloody flesh fall on the ground.

Zhou Yaozong screamed in pain, and a piece of meat on his arm was bitten off by Mo Jiu!

"How dare you bite Young Master Ben!" His eyebrows cracked in pain, and he shouted angrily, "Someone! Beat them to death for me! Throw it out and feed the dogs! ”
