After learning of Mei Ruojun's condition, Master Zhou just sighed and didn't stop it, he had already seen Ding Xiaohui's heart for Mei Ruojun, and he didn't want Ruojun to remarry out of selfishness, so he just watched coldly, and then Ding Xiaohui suddenly stopped coming to the door, he also guessed that Ruojun rejected him, he comforted a lot, but he didn't expect Mei Ruojun to suddenly become so sick.

The night before departure, Mei Ruojun packed her clothes, although her body was very weak, but her heart was very lively, a shallow smile at the corner of her mouth was caught in her eyes by the green willow on the side, her heart was sour, no matter how she endured it, the tears still rolled down, she quickly wiped it off quietly, squeezed out a smile and said: "Grandma, the road is difficult to walk, you must be careful." ”

Ruojun smiled: "Well, I will, Cuiliu, you say it's not weird, I feel that my whole body is full of strength now, and I think I can fly." Hehe. ”

Cuiliu pulled her to sit down and looked at her carefully, she was already thin and not human, although she was still beautiful, but her sick face was deep, after all, she lacked her demeanor, and her sunken eye sockets made her eyes look bigger, and when she first entered the Zhou family, she was already judged to be like two people.

Cuiliu was really sad, she couldn't help but shed tears, she couldn't cry, Ruojun saw her crying, she laughed instead: "Silly sister, don't cry, I know I don't look good now, you see, my father also told me just now, let me not meet Ruikang, heh, even if my father doesn't say it, I won't meet him." I just want to look at him, just look at him from afar. It's true. ”

As soon as she said this, Cuiliu was even more worried about bursting the embankment, tears welled up, hugged Mei Ruojun, and cried: "What have I done in the past!" It was me who told the secret, it was me who gave the medicine, and it was I who broke you up with the second young master. ”

"Grandma, listen to me, the second young master must still love you, he has been a person of love and righteousness since he was a child, and he is reluctant to throw away old toys, although he and Miss Cheng are married, but I believe that the person he loves in his heart is you. Go to him, go see him, don't care what the master says, don't care if Miss Cheng will be angry, really, you two have missed too much. You must meet the second young master! Cuiliu finally said the words that were pressed in her heart.

Ruojun smiled bitterly and hugged her and shook his head: "I don't want him to see me like this......"

"The second young master won't care, he likes you, he loves you."

Zhou Fu walked in and said: "Yes, the eldest young grandmother, we are subordinates, and we shouldn't have to talk nonsense about the affairs of the master's family, but I have to say that you and the second young master love too hard, you believe me, the second young master is not a half-hearted person, he would rather be beaten half to death by the master than withdraw from the marriage, how could he suddenly marry Miss Cheng again, I think there must be a reason for this." Zhou Fu frowned and sighed lightly: "See it if you can see it, don't miss it again, how many feelings in the world are missed by hesitation." ”

Although Cuiliu and Zhou Fu said a lot of words, Ruojun's ears echoed Master Zhou's advice:

"Ruojun, Ruikang has now become a family and is in a high position, you can't meet him recklessly, and then cause any turmoil, Jiaqi is now pregnant, and she is about to give birth when she calculates the time, your appearance will definitely cause conflicts between their husband and wife, so although I don't stop you from going to Chongqing to have a look, but you have a wish, but you have to swear to me that you will never meet Ruikang."

She swore an oath, a very poisonous oath......

The road was full of ruggedness, hardship, danger, wind and dust, and they used all possible means of transportation, trains, trucks, horse-drawn carriages, rickshaws, board carts, donkeys, stop-and-go, and often had Japanese planes rumbling overhead, and they often had to hide in Tibet, walking in the inaccessible mountains.

Her body is getting weaker and weaker, but her will is getting stronger and stronger, Ding Xiaohui studied the book "Hundred Herbs" hard at night, collecting various herbs in the mountains along the way, and trying to maintain Mei Ruojun's life.

In the past few days, Mei Ruojun's condition began to deteriorate again, and the two could only stop the trip and find a farmhouse in a small village to live temporarily. At dusk, Ding Xiaohui came back with a bamboo basket on his back, and saw Mei Ruojun cooking on the stove, so he hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the spatula from her hand and said, "Why did you get up?" Go and lie down. I'll do it. ”

Mei Ruojun shook her head with a smile, took back the spatula from his hand, and took out some wild vegetable soup in the pot: "Don't make a fuss, it's almost ready." He coughed again.

Ding Xiaohui said distressedly: "Tomorrow I will go to the village to buy a fish." ”

"No, I think it's good, we can go tomorrow." She looked at the sunset outside the window: "Otherwise, I'm afraid...... It's too late. ”

He stood behind her, his heart was as bitter as the core of the yellow lotus: "Is he really worthy of your love for him like this?" ”

She was silent because she didn't know how to answer, what was worth it and what wasn't? All she knew was that she wanted to see him, even if only from afar.

She eats hard, wants to make herself fat and healthy, she is very cooperative with all kinds of medicines that Ding Xiaohui gave her, she can't think about what is worth it or not, her life is about to end.

After eating, she found that Ding Xiaohui had broken his calf and his pants were torn, she felt very guilty, and she was bent on hurrying as soon as possible, but she didn't find that Ding Xiaohui was injured and bleeding.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were hurt." She remorsefully said, "Let's rest for a few days." ”

"It's okay, it's just a skin injury." Despite saying this, he bared his teeth in pain.

Ruojun came out with the medicine kit and said, "Take off your pants, I'll give you medicine." ”

Maybe the two of them are too familiar, she was smooth for a while, but as soon as the words came out, she immediately thought that it was very inappropriate, after all, they were just friends, how could they say such a thing, suddenly her face turned red, and she turned away in embarrassment.

He stood up, walked to her, gently wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, and whispered in her ear: "Ruojun, there is more than one man in this world, Zhou Ruikang, why are you so stubborn?" ”

His arms were warm and wide, and she hadn't been hugged in a long time, almost forgetting what it felt like to be hugged, kissed, and pampered.

His lips pecked at her ear, and an electric current rushed into her veins, and she was a little dizzy, and he pulled his arms into his arms.

Her shoulders suddenly relaxed, there was a feeling of unloading a thousand pounds of burden, ah, the feeling of being loved for a long time, the feeling of being owned, he didn't make any further intimate moves, he just wanted her to relax.

"Think of me as a haven of rest." He said, "Don't be afraid, rest well with me." He pressed her head against his chest.

His voice was soft and magnetic, his chest was firm and wide, she leaned on his chest, listening to his firm heart beating strongly, feeling so stable and reassured, his big hands on her back slowly pumping power into her body.

She is grateful to God for giving her this glimmer of morning dawn when she was most depressed and painful, Ding Xiaohui, God is merciful, merciful, it will always give people a glimmer of hope, a trace of comfort, as long as she is willing, she can have this warm morning glow, and walk peacefully in his arms to finish this life.

But her heart is so stubborn, whether it is Ryan's elegance and subtlety, or Ding Xiaohui's gentleness and generosity, it is not enough to make her forget the "Hell Alliance" on that thunderstorm night, they swore to go to hell together, yes, if she can be with him, even if she goes to hell, she is not afraid.

After enjoying Ding Xiaohui's arms for a while, she still pushed him away, blushed, bit her lip and said, "I'm sorry, I may be sick and confused." She coughed again.

Her cough, coughing his heart and lungs are trembling, he has no heart to fall in love, saving her life is the most important thing, if she dies, then what is the use of his love no matter how great it is? He helped her sit down: "I'll go and make medicine for you." ”

There was only one bedroom in the farmhouse, and they had to live in the same room, and Ding Xiaohui built another bed out of a wooden plank.

When he fell asleep and there was a slight snoring, she lit the kerosene lamp, and mended his pants under the lamp, her physical strength was already much worse, she didn't have two stitches, she was so tired that she had to stop and close her eyes to recuperate, she was grateful to him, she wanted to do something for him to repay his affection. She sewed all the clothes on his body, folded them neatly, and laid them on the table.

In this way, they walked for four months before they came to Chongqing, the capital of the Nationalist Government, because of the crazy bombing by the Japanese, they could not enter the city.

After many inquiries, they learned that there was a miraculous hot spring water near Jinyun Mountain, and the two were very happy and lucky, and soon found a hidden hot spring in the mountain.

The vast mountains, the clouds and mist are enchanting, the mountains are stacked, the verdant is dripping, the stone steps are quiet, the climate is warm, and when he finds this beautiful place, Ding Xiaohui shouts and jumps happily in the mountains, like a child.

Mei Ruojun took a deep breath of the fresh and moist air in the mountains, only to feel comfortable, looking at Ding Xiaohui excitedly climbing to the tree, and laughed: "You really look like a child, come down quickly, don't fall." ”

He jumped down from the tree and excitedly pulled Ruojun into his arms: "You are saved, you are saved." I know you're going to be saved. ”

He looked at her face, grabbed her wrist, checked her pulse, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Ruojun, your pulse is much stronger, your complexion has been much better recently, and your cough has decreased, I think the prescription I have recently prepared must have a curative effect, I just walked around, there are a lot of herbs in this mountain." Ruojun, you are saved, I have a hunch that you will get better. There are hot springs here, the climate is humid, you insist on soaking in the hot springs for an hour every day, and then walk in the mountains, proper exercise, plus my medicine, you will definitely be fine. ”

She smiled and looked at him gratefully, though she still felt weak, but she was better than she had been a month ago.

Her smile opened like a flower in his heart, he gently held her face, lowered his head, wanted to kiss her, her heart tightened, and quickly lowered her head.

"I'm sorry, Xiaohui, I ......," she said apologetically.

"It's me who is not good, I can't help it. I'm sorry. He smiled awkwardly, "I forgot that I came to give you to another man." ”

"No, don't say that, I won't meet him, I just want to see him, but I'm on my mind, even if I die, I'm willing." She looked up at the leafy trees.

He sighed, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and asked seriously, "What if you saw him and you weren't dead?" What are you going to do? “

"I don't know, but I like it here, I heard that the embroidery in Sichuan is different from other places, it is very distinctive, and I want to learn their embroidery method. Or I'll do it here. She imagines the future.

"Okay, then I'll stay here with you. You study embroidery, I study the herbs here. He was happy for her dream.

"No, Xiaohui, you should leave me and find a good girl to start a family."

"I've found it, but this girl doesn't want to marry me." He talked and smiled, half-teasing.

"You ......" She knew that she couldn't convince him, he already had a deep affection for her, and his kindness was as deep as the sea, she didn't know how to repay him, only sighed.
