Chapter 167: Hope

"Qinglan, don't say it, it's all my brother who is not good, it's my brother who hurt you......" Xiao Zheng was a little silent, he forced his hands to hold the table behind him, but his strong hands couldn't support a thin body.

"Brother? Are you shaking? Why are you shaking? Is it a weak heart? Are you in tears? That's a lot of tears...... It's really salty...... So your tears will be salty too? Qinglan reached out and gently wiped Xiao Zheng's cheeks, the fingertips were full of tears, she stared at the fingertips with tears, and gently wiped them in her mouth, with an incredible look in her eyes.

"Qinglan, you...... Don't look like this! I'll look at you like this...... distressed ......" Xiao Zheng felt that it was a little difficult to breathe, and the worry and self-blame for more than ten years were surging at this moment, and he didn't know how to comfort the relative in front of him.

"Heart...... Hurt? Where are you talking about? Did I hear me right? Distressed? You even have a heart? Your heart hurts too? I'm telling you, now my heart won't hurt, because after so many years, it hurts so much that it has numbed me! But now, I feel as if I have been deeply stabbed again, and I feel the taste of that long-lost feeling again. I should be familiar with it, but why, I don't feel a little euphoric now? ”

"Qinglan, you don't want to look like this, don't say that, don't ......" Xiao Zheng staggered and covered his chest.

"I shouldn't be like this, I have to be strong. Because my Yi'er is still waiting for me, I can't be so decadent...... Yes, he didn't want his mother to be so decadent. I'm going to cheer up, cheer up, you tell me, how am I going to cheer up?! Qinglan grabbed Xiao Zheng's collar suddenly.

"Qinglan, don't think about it, you just need to rest well, and leave the rest of the things, Yi'er's affairs, everything to me. You have to believe me, really, this time, you have to believe me! I swear, I won't disappoint you this time! Xiao Zheng grabbed Qinglan's arms, he wanted to hug her in his arms all at once, but he couldn't bear to see her struggling in his arms.

"Believe? I used to believe him, but he caused our family to suffer. I used to believe in you, but you pushed me into another abyss from which I will never recover! The pain of my life is that I believe in everyone too much, and I don't believe in myself. Now, I don't want to trust anyone else, I want to believe in myself once, how does my brother feel? Qinglan's face approached Xiao Zheng's eyes, and every subtle eye wrinkle in the corner of the eye was so clearly presented in front of Xiao Zheng's eyes.

The desperate message that came to his face made Xiao Zheng shudder, and he looked at Qinglan Dao, "Qinglan, what are you talking about?" What are you...... Meaning? ”

"I ...... What do you mean? I want you to die with me! Go and bury my dead child, go and explore the way for Lan Yi in advance, and I will ask you to drive away the demons for my Yi'er on the Huangquan Road! Suddenly, Qinglan suddenly pulled out a short knife from her cuff, and the sharp short knife stabbed towards Xiao Zheng's body with unstoppable speed.

Xiao Zheng's eyes were still full of Qinglan's face, but a part of his body had already felt a burning pain, he forcibly endured the pain and distorted his inevitable expression, his wise eyes showed a calm look, and he gradually showed a kind smile when he calmed down.

He smiled, without a trace of resentful smile, Qinglan looked at him in a daze, she was still panicked as she had never committed murder, she subconsciously let go of her hand and took two steps back, she saw that her short knife had been pierced on the upper side of Xiao Zheng's abdomen, the tip of the knife had entered, and the bright red blood had oozed out along Xiao Zheng's coarse linen clothes, leaving a piece of bright red.

It was a bright red that Qinglan had never seen before, it was so dazzling, so shocking! The blood was still flowing out little by little along the position of the crossing, and it seemed that the situation was getting worse and worse, but Xiao Zheng still stood there steadily, smiling, smiling and looking at Qinglan!

"Why don't you hide?" Qinglan asked in a trembling voice.

"I think it's good like this!" Xiao Zheng's face was a little pale, and the beard at the corner of his mouth began to tremble slightly when he spoke.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm asking for your life! Why don't you hide? Do you know that if you are like this, the Buddha will reproach me even more? Qinglan screamed, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.

"No, I will go and pray to the Buddha, all this is my own fault, it has nothing to do with you, it is me...... I volunteered. Finally, Xiao Zheng still shook his body, and Qing Lang let out a scream in fright, "Come on, help!" ”

Qinglan's scream quickly attracted the three people who had been standing outside the door and waiting, and he immediately rushed into the room when he heard the voice, and he had to say that everything in front of him was a little unexpected by the three young people.

"Daddy! What's wrong with you? Feng Yao was the first to run over, she saw the bloodstains on Xiao Zheng's predecessor at a glance, and seemed to judge who the perpetrator was, but she still couldn't help but ask with pity. Fluttershy hurried over and set Xiao Zheng up with Feng Yao.

But Nanfeng was calm, he walked over quickly, confirmed his eyes with Xiao Zheng, and after a short exchange, he bit his lip and neatly pulled out the short knife from under Xiao Zheng's ribs. Xiao Zheng's eyebrows wrinkled in an instant, but they quickly stretched out. Fortunately, Qinglan's strength is not great, and she does not look like she was bleeding as expected.

Qinglan was also scared silly, although she had made such a determination countless times, but when she implemented it today, she still felt her scalp tingle. Right now, she had forgotten what she was here to do, and she had forgotten what she was going to do. She only watched in amazement as a few young men lifted Xiao Zheng to the chair, watched them untie his shirt, and watched the emaciated body reveal the traces of her murder. It was a blur of flesh and blood, and Qinglan immediately turned her face to the side after just one glance.

Fluttershy quickly brought the bandaged strips of cloth and herbs, Feng Yao brought hot water and carefully cleaned the wound for Xiao Zheng, and Nanfeng applied the herbs to the wound and bandaged the wound with the strip of cloth. No one spoke, no one blamed, not even a word of doubt or complaint. They're like people who have nothing to do with it, doing what they need to do mechanically. Everything stopped, Xiao Zheng's face recovered slightly, he looked at the three children in front of him, and waved his hand at them with a reluctant smile, "You guys go out first, I still have something to say with your aunt." ”

No one objected, no one questioned, and even Feng Yao seemed to be obedient like he had never been. She just helped Xiao Zheng tidy up the changed clothes, picked up the blood clothes that she had removed, and reluctantly exited the room with Nanfeng and Fluttershy.

Xiao Zheng stood up with both hands supporting the armrests of the chair, and could see that the corners of his mouth were still enduring the pain in his body, and he came to Qinglan's side step by step, wanting to open his mouth to comfort something, but Qinglan said in a hoarse voice, "The grievances between us...... Know clearly...... Later...... We don't have anything to do with it anymore! ”

Qinglan staggered and was about to leave, but Xiao Zheng quickly blocked her in front of her with her whole body, "I don't allow you to leave like this!" ”

"You caused me to lose my children, and now I almost took your life...... We...... The two cleared ...... "Qinglan is still with cold stubbornness.

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Zheng asked.

"It's not about you!"

"If you're going to do something stupid, it's about me!" Xiao Zheng straightened his body and said.

"My own life, it's not your turn to be in charge!" Qinglan's body dodged to the side and tried to force her out, but unfortunately, Xiao Zheng didn't give her this chance.

"If I tell you that Yi'er will be fine, and besides, your child, who has been lost for more than ten years, seems to have been found by me, will you still be so dismissive of your own life?" Xiao Zheng's sincere eyes met Qinglan's already dead look, and he suddenly saw that the desperate eyes instantly burst out with incredible light.

"You? Say...... What the? Qinglan's eyes widened.

"I said, what if...... I have a way to save Yi'er's life, and I can also find your daughter for you, and you will ......"

"You're telling the truth?" Qinglan grabbed Xiao Zheng's arm violently, because of the excessive force, Xiao Zheng's wound was shaken by Qinglan and hurt a little, and Qinglan let go of her hand holding Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng's eyes gently swept over the place where he had just been scratched, when he was a child, Qinglan grabbed Xiao Zheng whenever something happened, how clear and familiar the memory was.

"Do you remember when we were kids?" Xiao Zheng asked with trembling lips.

"I ask you, is everything you just said true?" Qinglan didn't seem to be in the mood to reminisce about the past with Xiao Zheng, and she asked eagerly.

"When did I lie to you?" Xiao Zheng got rid of the memories.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Qinglan asked aggressively.

"It's just that there is a reason why it can't be done sooner."

"And where is she now? How's it going? Is her father and mother good to her? Does she know her background? Can you take me to her now? Qinglan became excited.

"This ...... Now ......" Xiao Zheng swallowed.

"What? Didn't you say you didn't lie to me? Qinglan still clung to Xiao Zheng, for fear that if she let go, everything in front of her would disappear.

"This ...... Right now...... It seems that the time is not yet right. Xiao Zheng was embarrassed.

"Why not the timing? What do you mean by that? Could it be that something is wrong with my child? Or did her father not allow her to recognize me? But it doesn't matter, we're just going to see her, let's not talk about it yet, so ...... It's always okay, right? Yes? Is that okay? Qinglan's eyes were full of hope.
