"I wish your wounds were always bad." I said through gritted teeth. "I'm tired! It's time to sleep. I pushed my chair away and walked majestically to the bed.

Na Miantang followed me and joked in a deliberately long tone, "A man has received a great blessing from his fiancée. ”

I was furious: "I heard a joke today, saying that I am a concubine at best in front of others, I said, I am no one's concubine, I am Mao Jiujiu, if any of your friends recreate my remote words now, so that I will not be able to marry the man I like in the future - Song Da, I will turn my face!" ”

The big hand of Miantang clenched me tightly, and the corners of his mouth bent down, revealing a mocking smile: "I really should strangle you, cat, in this way, the world will be much more peaceful." ”

"In the future, I just want to live my own life, you settled my salary, I won't do it, please don't bother me in the future, I won't bother you."

"Excuse me? Salary? That Miantang looked at me and laughed and said: "After I got to know you, I have been disturbed into a mess, cat, I won't let go, the woman I recognize, the things I recognize, I want to get." Besides, you're not going to do anything for me, and I'm certainly not obligated to give you money. ”

Shameless! No, I used to farm in the fields with an empty stomach and bare feet, tired and broken my backbone, my hands were bloody, in order to earn a bite to eat, I played tricks, engaged in fraud, worked sleepless day and night, in order to earn money, I must not give up this money, I can't, it is mine! My only lifeline.

His smile suddenly disappeared as if he was defiant: "Wait, cat, I'll pour you tea, you look like you're going to pass out." ”

Na Miantang had to use his hand to steady my hand and bring his bosom close to my lips. I still shuddered, and when I drank it all, he put the empty cup on the ground and rubbed my hand until it was warm and no longer trembling.

"Tell me honestly now, are you really in what Anna said?"

"That Miantang, you won't say it's true, right? You're not going to pay me for it, are you? ”

"your money, cat, I'm asking you."

"you!" I said, "I'm asking you." ”

"I knew that when it comes to money, you don't care about anything, okay, give and give, now you can always answer me, right?"

"You swear?"

"I swear."

"The old rule, once a month."

"Okay, okay, it's over at the end of the month, now you can say it."

I let out a long sigh of relief, then took a deep breath and told me all I knew, and he interrogated me for nearly half an hour about the last few days of contact with Na, until everything I had heard was drained. Then his eyes darkened terribly, and he let go of me, turned and walked away.

In the hospital ward, Anna looked at the Miantang's eyes as cold as night, but the bottom of her eyes was very calm, without a trace of joy and anger, she smiled "sigh", and was about to speak, but her throat was choked by the man's hand, and her back was slammed against the wall.

His strength was so great that Anna only felt that the skeleton of her whole body was about to be shattered by Fang Cai's blow, and the slender neck was strangled by his palm, which only made her breathless, but she was still smiling, making a "whoosh" sound, which sounded strange in this quiet night.

That Miantang's eyes were cold, his big hands tightened without pity, the green tendons on the back of his hands were exposed, he lowered his voice, and said word by word: "Anna, don't force me to kill you." ”

Anna's face was red from him, her breathing gradually became short, her eyes contained tears, and she looked at the most beloved man in front of her, and almost burst out of her throat a few words: "That Miantang, only me, really loves you and can do anything for you." ”

Na Miantang's face was still expressionless, and there was no trace of warmth in his eyes, he turned his hand, and even could hear Anna's strong bones making a "gurgling" sound in his palm, afraid that with a little more strength, she would die.

"I warn you, don't mess with the cat again, don't have anything to do with the Japanese, don't think I don't know, who reported my whereabouts in the hospital to the Japanese? You are a Chinese! The chill in his eyes deepened minute by minute, and his voice was extremely clear, and he watched the blood fade from Anna's face inch by inch, but he didn't do anything more.

Anna never thought that Na Miantang would be so ruthless, her body softened, and the light in her eyes began to dim, and only then did Na Miantang let go of her hand. She slid down the wall to the ground, coughing desperately. I don't know how long I coughed, but I coughed until I burst into tears, and the color on my face slowly recovered.

"Don, I'm a ghost who will accept the arrangement of the Japanese, because I love you like that, and the Japanese will not do anything unfavorable to you as long as they hand over the cat Jiujiu." Anna looked at the person in front of her, her face was pale, Yanli who had long since lost her talent, her hair was loose and paralyzed on the ground, but she was so sad that she couldn't look good.

Anna thought that this sentence could move that Miantang, but she didn't expect him to listen to it in her heart, Anna tugged at his sleeve: "Tang, don't you understand my sincerity?" ”

Na Miantang bent down, gently pulled his hand away, and lifted her chin, so that she met her eyes, and said calmly: "If you are entangled with the Japanese again, if you dare to touch her hair again, I want your life." ”

That Miantang's voice was cold and resolute, not allowing people to have the slightest suspicion, and the killing intent in his eyes was even more terrifying.

Anna's heart was dead at this moment, she understood one thing - he would really kill her, for the sake of me as a woman, he would really kill her!

She smiled sadly, mocking herself infinitely, she wanted to drag that Miantang's feet, although her voice was hoarse and ugly, but it was clear: "Tang, I don't know why the Japanese want Mao Jiujiu, she is a bane, leave her, I will be a cow and a horse to serve you, I don't want a name, okay?" ”

Na Miantang took out a silver ticket from his sleeve, pressed it on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Anna, this silver ticket, as long as you keep it in peace and save a little, it is enough for you to spend a few years, I will leave tomorrow, and I will not come again in the future." ”

"Why?" Anna was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and her voice was a little sharp under the excitement, "Where did I do so wrong, did I change it for the better, okay?" Don't go. ”

"It's not these." Na Miantang paused, and said categorically: "I can't give you what you want." As soon as the words fell, the footsteps of the Miantang paused, but finally opened the door without saying a word and walked out of the ward.

Anna chased out frantically, but there was no longer that Miantang in the night. On the table, there was a large amount of silver tickets, Anna suddenly laughed, laughing so much that her face was full of tears, and they all said that * ruthless drama is unrighteous, it turns out that the most ruthless and unrighteous is a man.

She was as if her whole body had been covered in ice, and she was frightened and frightened, and she collapsed on the ground.

Nightmares always start like this - fog everywhere. It's been a long time since I've had a dream like this, but it's always subconscious. I started writhing and tossing and turning, and I cried as if something big was about to happen, something terrible was coming. Then, I couldn't control myself from pulling my legs and running, rushing forward without a sense of direction, falling and getting up again, running through the white fog. I feel so cold, I'm going to die of cold, I'm so hungry, I can't eat anything.

Through the fog in my dream, I saw a familiar figure - Brother Ghost, he was always in front, no matter how I rushed, I couldn't rush through, but as soon as I approached, the phantom disappeared and never returned. I ran and ran, and I saw that Miantang again, and he always had his back to me, and then the fog gradually began to disappear, and I shouted to them anxiously: "Brother Ghost...... Ghost Brother ...... Namiantang...... That Miantang ....."

"Shh......h Shhhhh ”

"What about Miantang?"

"Yes, I'm here, shhhhh Strong arms helped me to sit up and put my arms around me, and I really felt warm and safe, even though we had been arguing just an hour earlier.

I was half awake in astonishment, the fog was gone, and the light made it clear to me that it was the face of the man, who was looking down at me: "Why are you here, don't you go back to your room to sleep?" I cried: "It's terrible, I just had a dream." ”

"Is it still the same dream from the past?"

"Yes, I dreamed of seeing you and Brother Ghost in the fog, I ran to look for you, you ignored me, I didn't see anything clearly in the fog, I was hungry and cold, scared me half to death, that Miantang, I'm afraid."

The Miantang hugged me tightly, and the strong and powerful heart from the thick chest reached my ears: "Of course you will feel cold and hungry, you haven't eaten dinner, you kick the quilt again, I'll give you something to eat, okay?" ”

"I don't want to eat right now, I want to sleep. How do you know I'm having nightmares. ”

"You're screaming so loudly that the glass windows are about to burst." His voice is as gentle as a lullaby.

"Then I'll cover the quilt for you, you won't sleep soundly." He helped me to lie down, pulled up the quilt, and covered my body. "Tomorrow morning, I'll have someone prepare chicken thighs, beef fried pho, milk, cake, think about it, it's going to be a rich breakfast, you'll sleep well, you've always been very good at eating, cat."

"You're going to fall asleep with me, and then you go."

"Okay, I'll accompany you, I'll sleep next to you on my side, and I will never touch you." His voice was laughing and tired, and a slouchy laugh came low. An arm that didn't belong to me went around the back of my neck, and I was carried to him.

It was a long time before he left my room, and I pricked up my ears to listen to his footsteps, and he didn't go out, he slept in the bed next to me, and I smiled and closed my heavy eyelids.

The next morning, when I opened my eyes in a misty sleep, the sunlight peeked through the slightly lifted curtain of the carriage, and I was tired of the arms of the Miantang, and we left the hospital to start a new chapter in the next journey.

I asked him, "Where are we going?" ”

"We'll go wherever you want."

"I want to see the sea. How is your leg injury? ”

"I need you to help me change the dressing, it's not ten or half a month, it's not going to be good."

So I and the Miantang River all the way against the current surface, the autumn mountains on both sides, red and golden, the scenery is gorgeous, we sail by ferry, the precipice on the shore rises, more than 100 feet high. The water flow is deep and wide, the mountains are majestic, the green shadows are reflected, the water is turquoise, and the scenery along the river is beautiful.

I and that Miantang also abandoned yesterday's disgust, yesterday's hustle and bustle, all dispersed in an instant, he is not the little boss of Rensheng Society who talks about the tiger color change, I am not the fate of the cat Jiujiu, only he is the same as before, me, and the scenery all the way.

There were more than a dozen passengers on the same boat with us, and we really felt very quiet on the boat, knowing that no passenger knew who we were, the air was warmer, the atmosphere was more peaceful, and I felt a sense of serene happiness. I yawn happily, free, alone and private, not to mention the fresh and unchanging landscapes and charming scenery that are intoxicating.

The boat docked at a smaller pier and several guests also disembarked. There are several cobblestone streets in Liao Liao on this pier, and I thought that the status of that Miantang would lead me to a place like a luxury villa, but the residence was a villa, just an old villa, and the brick and stone platform under my feet extended a hundred meters to the right. Broken, charred, overgrown with weeds, all that was left was a large, charred shell. The jagged ruins are the only vestiges of the majestic mansion. There were broken bricks scattered everywhere, and I don't know why this situation was formed, but I guessed that a fire must have burned here, and it was the shocking evidence that the fire left behind.

I couldn't help but feel depressed, this was a miserable situation in my ill-fated life, and I guessed that he had brought it here because it was his former home, and I would never be able to refresh the feeling of his home being destroyed, and I tried to understand how deep the pain felt in my heart, like the nightmare of my orphans.

I asked him, "Was this once your home?" ”

"Yes, this is a childhood dream, I am determined to rebuild my homeland and do everything I can to get the old things back, you come to help me."

"Of course I can help! Didn't I personally lead the bastards to plant, sow and harvest the orphanage, hmph, I bet you don't even know how to tell the difference between good and bad grains, but I can show you how to work in the fields, and we can work together. However, my salary is high, and I don't do anything if I don't pay for it. I hurriedly reached out to hide my laughter.

It caused the man to laugh, and then led me to the door, and there was a bleak scene before him, and his face pressed against my head, and he said firmly, "We can rebuild it completely." ”
