Chapter 218: The Past That Can't Go Back
Fan Yaohui listened carefully on the side, stroking his chin and nodding slightly, "Since the master is so worried, then the disciple will arrange for dozens of disciples to go to the bottom of the Changsheng River again tomorrow to see the situation." ”
"Hmm......." Hua Shimo responded softly, his face a little heavy.
After the atmosphere in the secret room was silent for a while, Hua Shimo shook his head helplessly, "Hey, it's okay, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth." ”
"Hey! I don't know who leaked the news of Zhu'er's death to your master, and her recent health is getting worse and worse. As a teacher, I still went back first. Hua Shimo continued to speak.
As soon as the words fell, Hua Shimo took a step, and Fan Yaohui followed behind him and walked towards the entrance of the secret room together.
After the two parted ways, Hua Shimo was alone, wandering quietly on the road of Hua's Villa, like a wandering ghost.
In this no-man's land, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of gloom that could not be dispersed.
Thinking back to the events of dozens of days ago, he still doesn't want to believe all this.
Hua Shimo never thought that one day, Hua Yuxuan and Hua Yuzhu, who he regarded as treasures, would lose their lives one after another.
The grass and trees of Hua's Villa, as always.
Nothing seems to have changed......
However, after all, it is still a matter of fact......
Looking at the vast night, he could only keep sighing and sighing again and again.
Recently, in no one's place, Hua Shimo always couldn't help but feel sad.
"The recent rivers and lakes are probably really going to be chaotic...... It seems that this big Hua Clan Villa can only be handed over to Yaohui......" Hua Shimo's eyes became more and more dim.
After dragging his heavy footsteps all the way, he still came to the Yuyu Hall where he lived.
He stopped in front of the temple gate, put away the thousands of troubled thoughts in his heart, faded his face like the sea, and replaced it with a calm and waveless expression.
He really didn't want his beloved lady to worry about him.
"Shi Mo, are you back?" A voice as soft as a breeze suddenly sounded in the night, and there was deep concern in his tone.
Hua Shimo raised his eyes, and a woman in a cloak was standing next to a small tree, her eyes following him closely.
In the light of the candlelight, he saw her pale, her red lips without the slightest blood, showing a sickly appearance, and her body was emaciated, as if she might be blown down by the wind at any moment.
After learning that her beloved daughter had died, she once fell into madness and collapsed.
It was only in the last few days that she had improved.
It's just that her body, which was weak and sickly, is getting weaker and weaker.
Seeing his beloved wife so sickly, Hua Shimo's heart ached faintly.
After the loss of his children, he was left with her.
He hated the wicked man who killed his children, and he was also angry with the person who secretly told her about Hua Yuzhu's death with a note.
If it weren't for this person, how could his wife be the sick face she is today?
It was obvious that the man who had secretly told her what had happened in the shadows must have had a bad idea.
However, what made Hua Shimo extremely annoyed was that although such a period of time had passed, no one had found any clues.
If he finds out who made his wife what she is, he must break it to pieces! Hua Shimo swore so secretly.
"Madam, it's windy outside, and it's not early, why are you still here? Get on in. Hua Shimo's face unconsciously showed a touch of tenderness, supported her, and slowly entered the house.
"Shi Mo, what are you doing when you've been out for so long?" The woman's eyes turned slightly, and her eyes were slightly uneasy.
After hearing this, Hua Shimo's expression was slightly stunned.
She would never ask him where he was. She seemed a little unusual tonight......
Hua Shimo stared at the woman standing beside him, secretly pondering.
In the next moment, he laughed softly, "Hehe, look at what Madame asked, what else can I do?" Naturally, it's time to deal with the affairs of the villa. Just now, I went to Yaohui to discuss the matter of investigating the Changsheng River. ”
The woman turned her head to look at Hua Shimo, "Oh? Didn't it mean that the disciples who had been sent out to investigate the Changsheng River in the past few days had returned, saying that they hadn't seen anything strange at the bottom of the Changsheng River? ”
Hua Shimo pondered for a while, his brows furrowed tightly, and he said in a low voice: "Now...... It's hard to say. I was a little uneasy, and I always felt like something was going to happen. ”
Suddenly, he laughed again, "Hehe, maybe it's because I've been tired lately, and I've thought about it too much, so I guess nothing will happen." ”
He didn't want to see her worry about him.
"I hope it's just that you're thinking too much." The woman said distressed and worried.
After entering the house, he untied his cloak for her, took off his coat, and helped her to the bed, "Madam, the affairs of the villa are naturally in charge of the husband, so don't worry about it, now, your task is to take good care of your body." ”
"Shi Mo, Hua's Villa is one of the eight decent people in the world, you ...... Don't forget. The woman hesitated for a long time, but still said what she thought in her heart.
Hua Shimo looked at the woman in front of him with a complicated expression.
He could clearly sense that she seemed to have something to say.
It's just that he can't guess her thoughts.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Hua Shimo pretended to be calm and laughed aloud, "Haha, look at what Madame said, my husband will not forget, I will not forget." ”
The woman slowly took out the hand that was originally placed under the quilt, and held Hua Shimo's hand tightly, her eyes revealing a kind of nostalgic light, "Shi Mo, do you remember when you and I first met?" ”
Hua Shimo gently sat down on the edge of the bed, gently stroked the back of the woman's hand, smiled lightly, but full of true feelings, "Why don't you remember." At that time, you were still a cardamom girl, lost in the mountains, and were bullied by a few prodigal sons, but you were still saved by your husband. But who knows, you refused to leave, and you had to make a promise. At that time, the husband was thinking, is there such a woman in the world who is in a hurry to get married? ”
The woman lowered her head and listened with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Because, at that time, I recognized you at a glance." At that time, you were upright, full of chivalry, looking rough on the outside, but in your heart, you seemed to be warm. I remember that at that time, you always had a warm glint in your eyes......"
Listening to the woman's words, Hua Shimo's heart was like thousands of hemp threads were entangled together, and he couldn't help but hug her gently.
The woman's hands wrapped around Hua Shi Mo, "Shi Mo, I've always said that killing is not good, blood is not good, can you go back to your previous you." Now, our Xuan'er is dead, and so is Zhu'er. The warmth in your eyes seems to be getting less and less...... I'm really scared and upset...... What sixth, seventh, we don't fight, okay or not......"
The woman's voice is getting softer and softer.
In the past, whenever a woman said something like this, he couldn't help but get angry.
Maybe he didn't think she understood him enough, or maybe he was weak-hearted, in short, he really didn't like to hear her say this.
In his eyes, how could a woman understand what he valued in his heart.
This time, however, he listened to her words with rare calm, without showing any anger.
The sorrow in his eyes grew thicker and thicker.
He also wants to go back in time and be his old self, just ...... There are some roads, once you have gone, there is no turning back.
It seems that he can only go on like this.
If not, perhaps, there is only a dead end.
"Okay, it's up to you what you say, hurry up and take care of your body......" he perfunctorily.
The woman's heart was faintly sour, her eyes were slightly wet, and she choked up: "Shi Mo, I don't have Xuan'er now, and without Zhu'er, I only have you." If I don't even have you, I'm afraid that I won't be able to live alone. ”
"I know, I know......" Hua Shimo responded softly.
The two snuggled tightly, listening to each other's breathing, and everything seemed extraordinarily quiet.
"Shi Mo, as the owner of Hua's Villa, the people of Xiangzhou regard you as a respectable person, you must not be such a person who hurts their hearts." The woman was silent for a moment, then continued to remind in a roundabout way.
Hua Shimo looked slightly stunned, looking at her suspiciously, and couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart.
Listening to the woman's words tonight, thinking of her abnormality, Hua Shimo couldn't help but suspect that she might have known something she shouldn't know.
"Okay, okay, don't think about it, rest early, tomorrow morning, I will accompany you to the back mountain for a walk, breathe fresh air, it must be conducive to your body's recovery." Hua Shimo diverted the topic and looked at her with an uneasy look.
The woman lowered her head and said no more.
She thought that everything she could persuade had already been persuaded, and if he was still willing to fall deeper and deeper into the demon path for the sake of an obsession, she could only be helpless.
Hua Shimo was preoccupied, lightened his movements, slowly flattened the woman, and covered her with a quilt.
Unexpectedly, just as Hua Shimo was about to turn off the lights, there was a sudden commotion outside the Yuyu Palace.
"It's late at night, I don't know why it's so noisy outside the hall?" The woman felt that something was wrong, frowned, left Hua Shimo's embrace, and stretched out her head to look out.
Listening to the hustle and bustle outside, Hua Shimo rolled his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Thinking about it, he quickly stood up and was about to walk out.
When the woman saw Hua Shi Mo going out, she hurriedly lifted the quilt and stepped down one leg from the bed, "Shi Mo, wait for me, I'll go take a look too!" ”
"Madam, you stay here and have a good rest, I will take care of the affairs in the villa, don't worry." After Hua Shimo noticed movement behind him, he turned around a little nervously and admonished.
"But ......"
The woman looked at Hua Shimo who was standing by the door, hesitated, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally had to compromise, nodding worriedly, "Then, you must be careful in everything!" ”
She said uneasily.
"Hmm!" Hua Shimo saw that the woman was finally willing to stay in bed honestly and rest, and showed a rare smile of relief, so he walked out in a hurry.
