Along the way, the wind and rain hit the carriage rapidly, Zhou Fu tried his best to drive the carriage as fast as possible within a safe range, the bean-sized raindrops hit his face, it hurt, he knew the anxiety of the master's family, and knew that Mei Xuefei's life was coming to an end, although the heavy rain was like a curtain of water that made him unable to fully open his eyes, he still forced himself to add a whip, and the carriage ran quickly in the wind and rain.

Anxious and irritable at the sound of horses' hooves and raindrops crackling on the carport, Ruikang rubbed his face with his hands to try to relax himself, but to no avail.

Finally arrived at Mei's house, Ruikang jumped out of the car, rushed to the gate, and hurriedly banged on the door, although the rain was loud, but there were still bursts of crying in the yard, which made Ruikang's heart tighter.

Cuiliu braved the heavy rain to open the door, and when she saw Ruikang, she was taken aback and shouted, "Second Young Master." ”

Ruikang didn't care about her, and rushed into the bedroom quickly, in that small room, only a dim kerosene lamp was lit, in addition to the smell of medicine in the room, there was also the smell of death at this time, the three women were either sitting or kneeling in front of the bed and sobbing, Mei Xuefei on the bed was lying straight there, with his eyes closed, Ruikang couldn't tell if he was dead or not. She knelt in front of the bed and held her father's hand tightly, looking sadly at his thin face.

"Ruojun!" He called her.

She didn't look back at him, she just trembled in her heart, he shouldn't have come, he shouldn't, she shouted in her heart, why did he come, why? Her whole heart was trying to accept the fact that her father was about to say goodbye to her, she had worked hard, her heart was grief-stricken, but she was still holding on to the last shred of reason, she had no strength to deal with him anymore.

"Ruikang, you're here, you're really here." Ruoli got up from the chair and threw herself into Ruikang's arms and cried, choking up, "I'm so scared, I've been thinking that it would be nice if you came." ”

Ruikang saw her crying sadly, and he himself was very sad, so he barely endured his grief and stroked Ruoli's hair twice, and said, "How is Uncle May?" ”

Chen Yuqin covered her mouth with a handkerchief and cried bitterly, her eyes were already red and swollen, Ruikang let go of Ruoli's arms and walked into Mei Xuefei's hospital bed, only then did she see that his lips were still trembling slightly, still holding on to the last breath of life.

Ruikang involuntarily knelt down and said to Mei Xuefei: "Uncle Mei, I'm Ruikang, I'm here to see you, my father and mother, and my eldest brother let me convey greetings for them." ”

It's strange to say, after a while, Mei Xuefei slowly opened his eyes and turned his head towards the bedside, his eyes had no brilliance, it seemed that he was just looking ahead emptyly, Ruojun and Ruikang didn't know if he could see them.

"Daddy!" Ruojun put his father's hand on his cheek, and two pearly tears rolled down. "Daddy, can you see me? I'm Ruojun, and I'm back to see you. Look at me, look at me! Dad, don't leave me! ”

Chen Yuqin and Ruoli also came to the bedside, and kept shouting, Mei Xuefei suddenly moved her fingers slightly, shook her head, trembled her lips, and said weakly: "Don't cry...... No time...... I...... I...... Something else...... Unfinished ......."

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at his wife Chen Yuqin's face and said, "Yuqin...... Yuqin ...... In my bookcase, there is a small box, which contains the love token of the two of us..... the jade pendant, do you remember? No matter how poor I am, I don't ...... Yuqin ...... I'm sorry for you...... After I die...... Take good care of Wakari. ”

"Snow Fly! I've never complained about anything, I married you back then because my heart was in you. Chen Yuqin recalled the past, yes, many years ago, she was attracted by his talent, willingly followed him, became a stepmother, and has been working hard to maintain this family. What else did she want to say, Mei Xuefei shook her head, signaled her not to say anything more, and called out in her mouth: "Ruo Li, Ruo Li......"

Ruoli hurriedly threw herself at the head of the bed and cried: "Dad, Dad, you can't leave me, don't you want me to be admitted to the university to be a female champion?" I'll be in the exam right away! I will make the Mei family prosperous again, Dad, you hurry up and get better, get better! ”

Mei Xuefei reached out and touched her daughter's cheek, showed a comforting smile, and said, "You are your father's good daughter, smart and clever, better than your sister's understanding, it's just ...... It's just ......" As she spoke, Mei Xuefei showed a worried look and said tremblingly, "You're too proud......"

"I'll change, Daddy, don't die, don't die, I'll change." Ruoli cried a lot, and the last trace of defense in Ruojun's heart also collapsed, and she cried. Mei Xuefei touched Ruoli's hair in love, and squeezed out a smile with all her might.

And he said, "Yuqin, Ruo pear,...... Go out...... I have something to say to Ruojun and Ruikang......"

The four people in the room were all stunned, but since Mei Xuefei had already ordered, although they didn't understand, no one would question and disobey the wishes of a dying person at this last moment. Chen Yuqin nodded silently, wiped her tears and helped her daughter Ruoli out and took the door.

"Dad, if you have anything to say, my daughter is here." Ruojun held his father's cold hand tightly.

"Ruikang, Ruikang......" Mei Xuefei didn't pay attention to her daughter, but shouted Ruikang's name, Ruikang was quite surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to respond: "Uncle, I'm here." ”

Mei Xuefei's eyes rolled with difficulty, looked at the two people beside the bed, suddenly pulled her breath, struggled to stand up, grabbed Ruikang's hand, glared at her and said, "Take care of her for me, promise me!" ”

Mei Xuefei's words were like spring thunder outside the door and slashed on the top of the heads of the two, Ruikang and Ruojun were both surprised, and glanced at each other, Ruikang had not yet reacted, Ruojun stammered and said: "Dad, I am Ruikang's sister-in-law......" She thought that her father must have said such words because he was dying, and his mind was confused.

Mei Xuefei shook her head, ignoring her daughter's words, just widened her eyes, looked at Ruikang in a daze, with an already blue-gray face, her expression was extremely solemn, and she suddenly took Ruojun's hand again, stuffed it into Ruikang's palm, and used her last strength to hold their hands together, holding her breath and saying, "Ruikang, promise me, take care of her, protect her." ”

Zhou Ruikang set off a monstrous wave in his heart, looking at Mei Xuefei who was about to pass away in front of him, he had unspeakable grief, looking at the slender and weak Ruojun beside him, he had unspeakable contradictions, of course his heart was willing, one thousand and one hundred willing, but how could he do it in reality? After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't refuse the entrustment of a dying old man, and finally held Ruojun's hand, nodded solemnly and assured Mei Xuefei: "Uncle Mei, I promise you that I will do my best to take care of Ruojun and protect Ruojun." ”

Hearing Ruikang's assurance, Mei Xuefei looked much more relaxed as if she had committed a major event, and slowly lay back, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but a tear flowed from the corner of her eye, and she murmured in her mouth: "Xiangyun, I'm here, wait for me." Xiangyun is the name of Ruojun's biological mother, and Ruojun knows that his father has always loved his mother deeply in his heart. With that, he stared at his eyes, his whole body twitched, he kicked a few times, let out a long sigh, and closed his eyes forever.

"Ahh Father! Father! Although Ruojun had been preparing all day and wanted to restrain the grief in her heart as much as possible, when this moment came, she still couldn't stand it, she couldn't stand it, she cried loudly.

Ruikang's eyes were also red in discomfort, and he wanted to appease her, but he himself was in a mess, especially Mei Xuefei's dying request, which made him even more overwhelmed.

Chen Yuqin and Ruoli heard Ruojun's crying and rushed in, and the mother and daughter cried together by the bedside.

Ruikang stood up, gave up his seat to them, walked out by himself, stood under the eaves, the wind and rain could not stop tonight, for a few hours, the rain was only getting more and more urgent, the sky was full of dark clouds, lightning flickered in and out of the clouds, and from time to time the night was torn apart. Looking at the crooked branches in the yard blown by the strong wind, Ruikang thought that maybe this was God's will to mourn Mei Xuefei's death, and also to sigh for Mei Ruojun's tragic fate. Listening to the heart-rending cry in the room, Ruikang himself felt sour, raised his head and let out a long sigh.

"Second Young Master, Master Mei?" Zhou Fu stepped forward and asked.

Ruikang was sad and couldn't speak, just shook his head, eased his emotions and said, "You can start taking care of the aftermath early tomorrow morning." ”

Zhou Fu sighed, Cuiliu also wiped her tears, stepped forward and said, "Cough, although we and Master Mei are just in-laws, this meeting is really sad." ”

Zhou Fu comforted and said: "Yes, but life and death are fate, and they are also fate, second young master, you also have to persuade the eldest and young grandmother more, and you must mourn and change." ”

Ruikang frowned and nodded, his thoughts were still in Mei Xuefei's deathbed just now, how could Mei Xuefei entrust Ruojun to himself? The identities of himself and Ruojun are so embarrassing and sensitive, how can I take care of her and protect her? Cough...... He was really distraught.

The three of them were standing under the eaves and sighing, when suddenly a figure ran out of the room and rushed into the rain, covering his mouth, but the cry spread through the air, and Ruojun opened the door and ran out like crazy.

"Ruojun!" Ruikang followed out without thinking.

She couldn't stand it, she couldn't stand her father, who had always loved and loved her, and turned into a cold and stiff corpse, with her closed eyes and gray face, she couldn't face her father's corpse, and if she stayed for a moment longer, she would go crazy, so she ran out, she needed to cry and vent, and the heavy rain was the best cover, to cover her crying, to hide her pain, to cover up her contradictions.

She ran aimlessly in the woods outside the house, not knowing where to run, she just wanted to find a place where no one was and shouted loudly, she didn't feel how violent the wind and rain were, and she didn't feel that her whole body was soaked. She looked up at the clouds in the direction of the wind and rain, let the rapid rain lap her cheeks, let the tears and rain mingle, and the wind swept the leaves at her, and she didn't care.

"Ruojun ......" he found her and called her softly, she trembled and lowered her head, looking at him, a pair of burning eyes, this is a male call, he stood in front of her, so close, so close, so close enough to make her mind pause, consciousness fade, mental confusion, she could almost feel the heat on him, yes, she felt it, his temperature, his heart, his love.

Her eyes were full of tears, looking at him helplessly and tenderly, she gently bit her beautiful lower lip, her shoulders kept shaking, she was trying her best to restrain herself, restrain the helplessness in her heart, contradiction, grief, despair, he was made by her heartache like a needle prick, and his brows were tightly locked.

"Ruikang ......" she called him very quietly, but in his ears it was like fairy music, she was calling him, she needed him, she needed him, she needed him, he kept repeating in his mind, the volcanic lava in his chest had long surpassed the surrounding storm, his lava erupted from his chest, he wanted her, pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly, held her face, and kissed her lips excitedly.

She didn't struggle, how could she not have a long-burning volcano in her heart? And she needs his strong arms at this time, needs his passion, needs his fiery love, she wraps around his broad back, his snort with a masculine breath, slowly enters her body, makes her intoxicated, has a kind of anesthetic effect, makes her feel that her whole body is gradually relaxed.

She never knew that his angular and resolute-looking lips were so soft and elastic, and her heart was pounding wildly, and she couldn't help but respond to him.

The rustle of the leaves in the wind, the thunderclaps in the sky, and the endless rolling thunder seemed to tear the whole earth apart, Ruojun indulged in his kisses, and thought in a daze, maybe the heavens were going to split the earth under their feet and send them to hell, but she didn't feel scared in his arms, she just hugged him tighter. To hell? Well, if the love of the two of them is destined to hell, then go down. She wasn't afraid, and she believed he wouldn't be afraid.

Sure enough, Ruikang let go of her, pecked her petal-like lips again, looked at her tenderly and sadly, a helpless but happy smile rose at the corner of his mouth, looked at her distressedly, and said softly: "If you want to go to hell, are you afraid?" ”

She raised her long eyelashes to look at him, smiled slightly, and shook her head firmly.

He took her into his arms again, so tight, so tight that he almost embedded her in his body.

Hell, and didn't make them wait long for them to experience the power of the first hellfire.

"Sister! What are you doing?! Wakari's shrill and stunned voice pierced the rainy night and pierced Ruojun's heart like the tip of a knife.

She turned her head to look at her beloved sister in horror, and a flash of lightning made Wakari's face look pale, her eyes were wide open, staring at them deadly, her lips kept trembling, the oil-paper umbrella in her hand fell to the side, and the umbrella turned on the ground with its head downward, her expression changed from surprise to shock, then to jealousy, and finally to resentment.

"Wakari......" Wakakun tried to come forward and explain to her, but what did she have to say? I'm already in hell.

Ruikang took her hand and whispered, "Now that she saw it, she doesn't need to explain anything." ”

"Oh my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! You ......" Wakari looked at their ten fingers clasped together, no longer doubting that it was her own dazzle, shaking her head in disbelief, shaking it like a rattle, her eyes were full of disappointment and sadness, jealousy and anger, pain and despair.

Ruojun let go of Ruikang's hand, stepped forward to take Ruoli's hand, and tried to explain a few words: "Ruoli, it's not what you think......"

"Don't touch me! You liar! ......." Her whole body trembled as if she was shaking the sieve, pushed Ruojun away, and cried, "You said you wanted to help me...... But you're ......"

"No, it's not like that, Ruoli, you believe me, I really want to help you......" Ruojun tried her best to explain, but Ruoli was hit too hard, and she didn't want to listen to her sister's pale explanation at all. She roared loudly, "Stop lying to me! ”

pointed at Ruikang again and said fiercely: "You well-dressed beast who plays with women's feelings, you provoke me, and you are married to Cheng Jiaqi, and that Zhu Yafen, and now you are seducing my sister, you are simply a devil!" ”

"Wakari! It's not fair for you to say that, I didn't provoke you, I've always loved your sister......" he tried to tell her the truth.

"I don't want to listen, don't listen" Ruoli covered her ears and shook her head frantically, almost screaming, afraid of irritating her again, Ruikang had to shut up and stop talking.

Ruoli kept screaming, Ruojun was very scared and wanted to go up and hug her, but as soon as she touched her sleeve, Ruoli shook off her hand vigorously, her eyes became cold, making people shudder, the corners of her mouth pulled down, staring at Ruojun, staring at Ruikang, stretching out her index finger, pointing at them hard, gritting her teeth, and saying word by word: "You are shameless, you are shameless, you will not end well." After speaking, he turned around and ran away, Ruojun watched sadly as Ruoli slowly disappeared into the rain.

She was so sad and tired, Ruikang took her into his arms, imprinted a kiss on her hairline and said, "Let's go back and take care of your father's funeral first." We'll take care of the rest. ”

"I think the gates of hell have been opened to us." Ruojun sighed and looked at him sadly.

Ruikang picked up the oil-paper umbrella on the ground, grabbed her shoulders and said, "Then let's go to hell for a while." The two walked slowly towards Mei's house.
