Chapter 18: Suicide and Death

As soon as she thought of the child she had never met, her heart hurt like a knife, and she couldn't breathe. She gasped for air, tears pouring in like a breaking wave. Drops, strings soaked her hair and soaked her sheets.

Her hand trembled and moved to her lower abdomen, and the coldness of her fingers came from there, making her shiver. She tried to feel and imagine that at that time, there was a fresh little life sprouting and growing here.

She seemed to be able to imagine that his heartbeat was connected to herself, and his life was connected to herself. How he longed to come into this world, how he longed to see the world, to see the mother who gave birth to him. He was too young and too young for his mother to even realize he was coming.

Yu Youwei's hands clenched into fists and kept beating her lower abdomen, her child! Her only child in her life!

I'm sorry, she was too careless to even realize the arrival of her child. How she is qualified to be a mother, how she is qualified to bring him into this world.

Yu Youwei couldn't breathe when she cried, she had never had that sense of grief and despair. She struggled to her feet, trying to get out of bed. But she never thought that her weak body could no longer hold all her movements at this time, and she "plopped" her whole body and fell off the bed.

Her face was against the ground, the dirt was on her cheeks, where was there any former demeanor of a talented woman in Chang'an. She lay on the ground and felt like her body was falling apart, like a greedy Gu worm drilling in her blood, making her almost faint.

She endured the torture caused by her body, and crawled on the ground with her hands. The dust on the ground stained her white dress, and she didn't care, her soul was already dirty, would she care about the cumbersome exterior?

She crawled slowly, not even as fast as an octogenarian on crutches. The palms of her hands were blurred by the flesh and blood of the ground, but she continued to crawl forward. It wasn't until she crawled to the table that she stopped to catch her breath.

Yu Youwei gathered the strength of her whole body, grabbed the leg of the stool in her hand, and relied on this strength to get herself up from the ground. But because her body was too weak to fully stand up, she fell to the ground again.

She leaned against her stool leg and gasped, her arms trying to lift up, her fingers touching the plate of the morning meal on the edge of the table. She fiddled with her fingers a little, trying to make the plate fall off. But it was so easy, and half of the plate was removed from the table, and her fingers cramped from the long and laborious wiggling.

She didn't care about the pain in her fingers, and with the last strength of her body, she half-got up and used her fingertips to pull off the edge of the half plate that was hanging in the air.

The plate slipped off the table and smashed to the ground with a clatter. In an instant, the vegetables inside also splashed out, just splashing all on the body of Yu Youwei who was sitting on the side, bloodstains, mud stains and current vegetable stains, and the whole skirt became a big flower face.

Yu Youwei picked up a piece of a plate from the ground and held it tightly in her hand. The sharp blade on the edge of the plate cut her hand out of the blood, and the blood ran down the edge of the piece and dripped to the ground.

Li Yi, how can you be so ruthless, so ruthless that you won't even give me a chance to explain, so ruthless that you tricked me into waiting for you for three years in this Taoist temple, and so ruthless that you can brutally kill our children!

Her hand holding the splinter trembled as she moved to the wrist of her other arm. The crumbling teeth touched her tender skin, leaving a trail of blood. She slowly closed her eyes and whispered, "Child, mom is here for you." ”

Just as she was about to cut it hard, she suddenly heard the crisp sound of an object falling to the ground. Yu Youwei stopped what she was doing and looked down at the source of the sound. The jade pendant that was originally hanging in his wardrobe fell to the ground with a snap because the rope at the junction broke.

She looked at this jade pendant, and the tears in her eyes flowed down her cheeks as if they had broken threads. How could the rope suddenly break, it was at this time. Master, the apprentice is not filial, and he has made up his mind to make up his mind. If there is an afterlife, I am willing to be a cow and a horse to repay the kindness of the master's teachings in this life.

Thinking about it, Yu Youwei quickly slashed the pieces towards her wrist, and blood suddenly gushed out. She felt that her hand no longer had the strength to hold the broken piece, and it hung limply. The shards cut an arc in the air and fell not far away.

Blood flowed down his wrist and dripped to the ground and spread, soon spreading to the jade pendant.

Due to the increasing amount of blood loss, Yu Youwei felt that her head was getting dizzy more and more, and her body gradually lost control. She rested her head on the leg of the stool, her upper and lower eyelids touching with heaviness.

At the last moment when she had consciousness, she seemed to vaguely see the jade pendant soaked in blood shining with white light. She wanted to reach out and pick it up, but as soon as her hand was raised, the last bit of her consciousness disappeared, and her hand hung limply and fell on the jade pendant.

Lu Qiao followed the doctor down the mountain to get medicine, because it had just rained and the mountain road was muddy, the two walked for a long time before walking down the mountain.

The doctor's home is in a hut at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by woods and rarely populated. Within a radius of 100 meters, only smoke wafts from this small thatched hut.

Lu Qiao followed him open the fence gate and walked in, and the courtyard was full of baskets of dried herbs. Hearing that someone was coming, a lady came out of the house, wearing coarse cloth clothes, an apron around her waist, and coarse linen shoes. When I saw the green warp, I immediately had a kind smile on my face.

"Whose girl is this, born so handsome."

Lu Qiao let her say this, her cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head and smiled silently.

The doctor placed the medicine box on the stone table in the courtyard, walked to a shelf for drying herbs, and flicked the herbs in the basket with his hand.

"The maid of a lady in the view of the mountain is salty. The lady was not in good condition, so she went to the house and got some mulberry paper. I wrapped her herbs so that she could take them back to the lady for healing. ”

When the eldest lady heard this, she hurriedly turned around and went to the house. After a while, he walked out with some mulberry paper and a suit of clothes in his hand. She placed the mulberry paper on the herb rack that the doctor was fiddling with, and turned to hand the dress to Midori.

"Girl, let's change your clothes."
