About the next day, the tent was opened again, and a man came in, a soldier, and the soldier looked at me, and said nothing, but came up and untied the rope from my body, and I didn't ask, and then he went out with me, and when we stopped in front of a tent, the soldier said to me, "Go in, the man you want to see is waiting for you inside." ”

I didn't move immediately, but stood there silent for a few seconds before I opened the tent and walked in.

There was an old man standing in the room with his back to me, and after a slight pause, I kept a distance from him, and then I whispered, "Grandpa." ”

When he heard my grandfather's words, he quickly turned to look at me.

I don't remember how long I hadn't seen him, and even if I had met him last time, it was only through a barrier, and now that I finally stood in front of him, I realized that he was much older, with gray hair on both sideburns and wrinkles on his face, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say, but I just stood there and looked at him, with the same kindness on his face as before, without the slightest change, and he said, "You are here." ”

But even though he is the same as before, but now I am no longer the same as before, I kept a distance from him before saying: "Grandpa, it seems that we haven't seen each other for two or three years, and you are a lot older." ”

He smiled and said: "How can people not be old, you have grown a lot taller, remember that the last time we met was in the year you went abroad." He raised his hand and gestured at the height and said, "At that time, it was only at the position of my waist, but I didn't expect that after a few years, it actually jumped to my shoulder." He shook his head and said, "I don't know if I'm getting shorter or if you're getting taller." ”

He walked on crutches to a chair not far away, where there was a charcoal fire, and he sat down stiffly, and then said to me, "If your father and aunt saw your slim appearance now, I don't know how happy they would be." ”

About me and A-Niang have a three-point resemblance, he looked at me with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, but in the end he just sighed and said: "Okay, don't talk about these sad things, you sit down, let's get down to business." ”

In fact, I almost can't remember the appearance of Grandma and Daddy, so when he said this, I didn't have a trace of sadness in my heart, but was dull and depressed.

I sat down in front of him as he instructed, and he said directly: "Huo Changfan doesn't know the relationship between me and you, so he accidentally tied you up this time." ”

I said, "So what should I do now?" Will he let me go? ”

Grandpa said: "Don't worry, since things have become like this, if I let you go, wouldn't I indirectly tell Mu Jingchi that you have a lot to do with Huo Changfan?" So what needs to be done, you still have to do it all. ”

I said, "Last time, the dancing girl on the bank of the Jinling River in Xianle Pavilion assassinated Yuan Chengjun's assistant Jin Chi, but you planned this incident?" ”

Grandpa said: "I didn't plan it, but it was really Huo Changfan's doing." ”

I said, "Grandpa, are you sure that Huo Changfan could plan this matter?" ”

He looked at me and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

I said: "I was there at the time, those dancing girls were well-trained, and their killing methods were extremely accurate, they didn't look like characters that Huo Changfan could cultivate at all, did he still have someone around him to give advice?" I thought about it and asked, "How much does my grandfather know about Huo Changfan, how can you help this kind of person?" ”

Grandpa listened to my words, silent for a long time, he said: "Actually, I haven't been in contact with him for a long time, just this year I began to get acquainted, the reason why I chose him, is just to fancy his courage to dare to be the enemy of Yuan Chengjun, the rest is nothing else, as for whether you say that there are people around him to give advice, I do know some, he has two military advisors, one surnamed He, one surnamed Ding, has always been a good general around him, now in this era of warlords, Huo Changfan, who has no background, can stand out, And became Yuan Chengjun's fierce rival, the two masters around him made great contributions, so this time they took great risks to go to the Mu family to detain you, as for what you said about this assassination, I guess it was from the hands of his two military advisors. ”

I don't know why, I don't agree with my grandfather's speculation, although I have never seen Huo Changfan's two military divisions, and I don't know what they look like, but those dancing girls are obviously carefully crafted, and they are not at all trained by the two military advisors who follow Huo Changfan all day long to march and fight, and they will not have this time to teach those dancing girls qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.

I inexplicably feel that there is someone else behind this assassination.

When my grandfather saw that I was silent, he asked me, "What's wrong?" But what's the problem? ”

I said: "Grandpa, although Huo Changfan and I are not very familiar with each other, and this meeting is also the first time we have met, I still want to say a word to you, you still have to find out his details before choosing to form an alliance with him, although you and Huo Changfan are together, it is beneficial and harmless for us, but if we don't figure him out, for us, it will be a kind of destruction that is close to destruction." ”

He said: "I know all this you said, so at present, I only have a short contact with him, and I have not been deeply involved, I am also investigating him as a person, and I will only make long-term plans after I find out." ”

I said, "Perhaps, you can check out the Fairy Rakku." ”

My grandfather looked at me and asked, "What?" Do you still think there's something strange about this? ”

I said: "I suspect that it was not Huo Changfan's two military advisors who planned this assassination, because those dancing girls had an extremely clear goal, just to take Jin Chi's life, those dancing girls said that they were killers, but in fact they were more like dead soldiers, none of them thought about leaving alive, after they killed Jin Chi with a clear goal, they were killed by Yuan Chengjun's soldiers one by one, and they didn't even resist, Yuan Chengjun didn't have time to leave a living mouth, and used so many dancing girls to kill a Jin Chi, how high do you think the cost is?" Yuan Chengjun and Huo Changfan have been fighting for so many years, and they are a little unbearable economically, so they will tie up a Mu Jingchi, not to mention Huo Changfan, who was born as a bandit and has no background? Does he have so much time and money to cultivate something so delicate? Those dancing girls are hidden in the Xianle Pavilion, and the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting have reached a peak point, don't you think it's suspicious? And Xianle Pavilion couldn't even find out who the boss behind it was. ”

When my grandfather heard me say this, he was silent for a long time, he lifted the teapot on the charcoal fire, poured two cups of tea, then picked up one of them, took a sip and said, "I will send someone to check the details of Xianle Pavilion, at first I thought it was nothing, but now after your analysis, it is really wrong." Grandpa said, "However, you still have unfinished business." ”

I looked at my grandfather.

He said: "Now no matter how deep the relationship between me and Huo Changfan is, there is a common and clear goal in front of us at present, that is, we can't let anyone know that I have a cooperative relationship with him, so you can't leave for the time being, and you even need to do something." ”

I looked at my grandfather.

He handed me a note, and when I opened it, within a second, I suddenly looked at my grandfather, who didn't seem surprised at all, but whispered, "How do you know if you don't try?" And don't forget, how your child is shed. ”

Grandpa's words made my hand hold the note tight, and he said: "Qingye, you forgot what I said before, I always tell you that if you want to become a woman that Mu Jingchi will never be able to get, you don't listen to me, and he crossed the thunder pool, how is it now?" My words have been verified, right? It has not been ten days since you had a relationship, he sent you back to the Yuan family, and also married, made you pregnant, but killed his own child with his own hands, this is the price you paid if you didn't listen to your grandfather, if you never crossed the thunder pool with him, this kind of thing would not have happened in the future.

I didn't speak.

My grandfather didn't force me, he whispered: "You go and figure it out for yourself, whether what I said makes sense, you are different now, no matter what, you can't let yourself fall in love with him, so this step is what you have to take next, I know it's very risky, but what if it succeeds?" This is a unique opportunity for us. ”

I asked my grandfather, "What if I fail?" ”

He said with great certainty: "He won't kill you, at most you will be sent back to the Yuan family by him, and there will be no harm, this is the only place where you have nothing to fear, so this time, we must not let go of this opportunity." ”

The cup of tea in front of me cooled down in the minute and second, before I knew it.

My grandfather looked at me, as if waiting for my answer, I poured the glass of water into my lips, the cold liquid slid down my throat, I put down the empty teacup in my hand and said to my grandfather, "Do I have a choice in this matter?" What if I say no? ”

Grandpa said in a hoarse voice: "Before you say no, you should first think about your sister, your father, your mother, and the lives of the two dozen or so members of the Lu family." ”

My grandfather always knows where my weaknesses are, and he will always easily use a few words to force me onto a path that I would not be willing to take, just like he used to let me stay in the Mu family.

I chuckled.

Grandpa said: "This is your fate and mine, they are your closest relatives, so you can't die in vain, grandpa is here to avenge your parents with this old life, just to let them feel at ease under the nine springs, and you are their daughter, how can you hesitate to do this kind of thing?" ”

I didn't speak, and after a while, I clenched my teacup and said, "Okay." ”

When he heard my words, he seemed to be relieved and didn't say anything more.

The two of us sat there in silence for a while, the charcoal fire burned bright red between us, and my grandfather said again: "You go back, no matter whether this thing can be done or not, once it is done, you will also be free, go to live any life you want, go anywhere you want to go, if it can't be done, Qingye, our plan is still far away, maybe grandpa won't have that time to help you later, after all, grandpa is already old, and you will be left alone in the Lu family in the future." ”

There was a deep vicissitudes in his eyes, and under the light of the charcoal fire, he even revealed a trace of exhaustion.

The teacup creaked as I held it, and finally I let go of it again, and I said to my grandfather, "Don't worry, I'll work this." ”

Him: "Hmm. Then he said to me, "Go ahead." ”

I got up from my chair, glanced at my grandfather, and was about to turn to leave, when he suddenly said, "Wait." ”

I paused for a moment, looked sideways at him, and my grandfather said, "In a few days it will be your father's death day, if you succeed, don't forget to put a few sticks of incense on them." ”

I said a good word.

I went back to the tent where I was bound, and there were still two soldiers guarding the town, and when I had gone over, they looked at me, and I stretched out my hand, and they understood what I meant, and quickly tied me again with ropes.

For the next few days, I was bound in the tent, and no one came in to see me every day, except that I was still fed every day, and no one came in to see me.

Almost three days later, Huo Changfan came again, and after he arrived at my camp with two soldiers, he looked at me lying on the ground, and said, "Your brother-in-law hasn't brought anyone here yet, do you want to write a letter to the past." ”

I lay down in the haystack and asked, "Commander Huo has delivered a letter before." ”

He said: "It's handed over, and there has been no movement." He frowned, hissed and said, "It stands to reason that he should also have a movement, can he still not live and die regardless of it?" ”

I said, "It was the commander who was too gentle with me. As soon as I said this, his brow furrowed even deeper.

I looked up at him and asked, "Do you think tying me up here will allow him to bring someone over to replace me?" You are wrong, in such a situation, not only is my life not in danger, but also not to suffer from flesh and skin, in this age of starvation, I am still served by you with delicious food and drink, in other words, no one is in a hurry. ”

He understood what I meant, but still asked, "What do you mean?" ”

I said, "Tie me to that banner, it's a matter of the next few days whether he will come or not." ”

He didn't speak for a long time, and I inexplicably felt a little sarcastic, and asked him, "What?" Commander Huo didn't dare? ”

This sentence made his face change instantly, and he said loudly: "What is there to dare not be!" If it weren't for the fact that you are a woman, the tender skin and fine meat can't help but freeze, Lao Tzu would have hung you up a long time ago, and let you enjoy the blessings in this tent? ”

Then he said, "But in that case, there is no better way than to do what you say, but if so, you may suffer a little." ”

I said, "Since I am here, I am not afraid of coming in vain, and the commander can only do it." ”

When he heard me say this, he did not hesitate any longer, and quickly said to the two soldiers behind him, "Stand it up and tie it to me on the highest flag." ”

The two soldiers said, "Yes." Then he came up and lifted me up from the ground, and took me out.

It was freezing outside, it was cold beyond my imagination, and even the two soldiers who had experienced the wind and frost shivered a little, and after they tied me under the military flag, they pulled me up little by little with a rope, and they tied me to the highest place.

The wind above is more noisy than the underground, I can feel the cold wind like a knife across my cheeks and a certain part of my body, Huo Changfan walked underground and said: "You should stay on top of Lao Tzu, if your brother-in-law doesn't bring Lao Tzu's two military advisors over, I'll tell you." He pointed at me: "Then you will stay on this for the rest of your life." ”

Then he sent heavy troops to guard around me, and prepared an ambush around me on three layers and three layers outside, and when these were ready, the wind outside was blowing so cold that he was cold, and he kicked the soldiers who were shivering with cold and said, "Give Lao Tzu a little spirit." ”

Then, with a shudder to himself, he tightened his clothes and quickly entered the barracks.

After that, I was tied to my head, and at first I felt cold, but then I don't know if it was numb, and I didn't feel it at all, I just felt like my body was frozen in ice, except for my head and a little conscious, basically my whole body had become ice cubes.

To all of us, I was dying before the evening, my body was too weak, and my body had not yet recovered, so that in such a cold day, it would have taken my life without a single soldier.

The soldiers below also discovered my situation, and quickly carried a gun into Huo Changfan's barracks, to ask him to come out, and when Huo Changfan arrived under the military flag again, he raised his eyes and asked, "What's the situation?" Live or dead. ”

I didn't answer for a long time, and the soldier next to him said: "This kind of ghost weather, even we are half frozen to death, not to mention a woman, commander, she was still angry just now, won't she die now?" ”

Huo Changfan glanced at the soldier, and immediately raised his hand and patted him on the head and said, "Don't talk nonsense to Lao Tzu!" I'm still waiting for her to change my military advisor. Then he said, "Go, go up to me, and probe her breath to see if she is alive or dead." ”

Soon, a soldier climbed up, and after probing the tip of my nose with great effort, he said to Huo Changfan below: "Commander, there is still a little anger, but I estimate that if I continue to freeze like this, it will be over." ”

This incident stumped Huo Changfan, he took the military hat, scratched his head with his hand, and sighed, as if thinking about what to do, he thought for a long time, and said without hesitation: "Get that girl down for me, if you die like this, where will Lao Tzu still have chips." ”

The soldier on the flagpole was about to untie me and take me down, but at this time I finally moved twice, and said to the soldier in the voice of two people: "Tell your commander, hold on, hold ......."

The soldier's hand to loosen the rope paused for me, he looked at Huo Changfan below, at this time Huo Changfan said: "Wait, don't let go yet, if Lao Tzu is loose now, then won't there be no way to take Yuan Chengjun and Mu Jingchi?" None of them are in a hurry, what is Lao Tzu anxious about here. He pointed to the soldier and said, "Tie up, continue to tie it up for Lao Tzu, if it really dies, it is not Lao Tzu's people, see who can get whom." ”

After the soldier heard Huo Changfan's words, he looked at me again, and quickly climbed down again.

Huo Changfan didn't hesitate, and after walking around, he quickly walked into the military tent.

After that, it was still a cold wind, I don't know when it was raining, it was undoubtedly worse when it fell on me, I felt that something seemed to start to freeze, freezing me, until in the middle of the night Huo Changfan came out again, stood under the military flag and looked at me, seeing that I didn't react at all, he became more and more anxious, and there was no news from Mu Jingchi's side.

He stood under his umbrella for a while, and asked the soldiers beside him, "What's going on over there at Mu Jingchi?" ”

The soldier next to him said: "Since they knew that the people were tied up, the clues on our side were cut off, and we couldn't receive the situation from that side." ”

Huo Changfan walked back and forth, walking more anxiously, at such a juncture, he didn't know how to choose, it was a mistake to let me down, or not to let me down.

But at this moment, suddenly in the heavy rain, a soldier rode a horse and galloped over and said, "Report! ”

Huo Changfan frowned, then looked at the soldier, the soldier entered the barracks, he flipped off his horse, gave a military salute to Huo Changfan, and said, "Commander, Mu Jingchi's carriage and horse are a hundred meters away." ”

When Huo Changfan heard this, he smiled and asked the soldier, "People are coming?" ”

The soldier replied with great certainty: "Here we are." ”

At this time, Huo Changfan was not in a hurry at all, so he asked the soldiers to move a chair inside, and then sat on the chair, bent his legs, and sat like the king of the mountain and said: "Win, brothers, don't worry, cheer me up and deal with me!" ”

The entire barracks roared like a tsunami with one word: "Yes." "Everyone stood tall and looked like soldiers in this heavy rain.

Inexplicably, I suddenly understood why Huo Changfan became Yuan Chengjun's biggest enemy, just as I was thinking about this question in a daze, Mu Jingchi's car stopped outside the barracks.

He got out of the car, he was wearing a moon-white robe in the dark, with a warm face, standing in the rainy night like a teacher, he was followed by Steward Zhou, holding an umbrella for him in the back.

Mu Jingchi raised his eyes and glanced at me on the military flag, but he withdrew his gaze and said to Huo Changfan: "Commander Huo, it's better to put people down first, and let's have a good talk." ”

Even at this time, Huo Changfan, who was sitting in the chair, did not move, he and Mu Jingchi were not much different in age, but their style of acting was completely different, he leaned back in the chair and said with a momentum of contempt for everything: "Mr. Mu, how do I know what kind of person you want to talk about, Lao Tzu." ”

At this time, Mu Jingchi did not hesitate at all, and soon someone came out with two people, it was Huo Changfan's He Junshi and Ding Junshi, as soon as he saw this, he immediately stood up from the chair and asked coldly: "Live or dead?" ”

Mu Jingchi smiled and said, "Of course it's alive." He paused slightly and said, "However, it depends on whether the commander will live or die after that." ”

Then, Mu Jingchi's two men put their guns against the heads of the two military advisors.

Huo Changfan didn't dare to act rashly, and looked up at me above the barracks again, and soon he said to the soldiers beside him: "Go, put people down for me." ”

After hearing the order, the two soldiers quickly climbed onto the flagpole and quickly put me down, but he did not hand over the people first, but asked Mu Jingchi: "How do I know if those two people are my military advisors, I have to confirm their faces this big night." ”

Mu Jingchi made a gesture of please, and soon, Huo Changfan sent someone over to check, and after he finished checking, he ran back and ran to Huo Changfan and said, "It's the two masters." ”

Huo Changfan was relieved at this time, he leaned back on the chair and shook Erlang's legs and said, "Is it you who put it first or I put it first." ”

Mu Jingchi said: "Let's put it together." ”

The men from both sides walked up with their respective men, and when they reached the gate of the barracks, everyone stopped.

Mu Jingchi stood behind and watched quietly.

Huo Changfan's people, after pointing a gun at my head and handing me over, Mu Jingchiren naturally also pointed a gun at the two masters and handed it to the defense line at the entrance of the barracks.

After I was mentioned in front of Mu Jingchi, he lifted my hair hanging in front of me and looked at it, his eyebrows and eyes were a little cold, but soon, he took me in his arms, took the clothes handed over by the people on the side, and quickly wrapped me, and wanted to take me to the car, but he stopped for two seconds and said to the two people next to him: "Kill." ”

Before I could understand, just as Huo Changfan's people were in a hurry to untie the two masters, suddenly Mu Jingchi's people suddenly raised their hands and aimed at the two masters who had just stood up, and with a bang, one of them fired a shot.

Before the two military advisors could react, their bodies shook twice, and they fell in front of Huo Changfan in front of him, and Huo Changfan stared at him in astonishment.

Mu Jingchi didn't even turn his head, he hugged me and got into the car directly, and sat in the car, when Huo Changfan's people were about to chase him out, at this time, suddenly a soldier rushed out from behind, rushed to Huo Changfan and said: "Report!" Captains! Yuan Chengjun is leading people to attack our rear camp! ”

Before Huo Changfan could react, suddenly a cannonball bombarded in, and in that instant, the military tent behind Huo Changfan exploded.

The soldiers behind him protected him on the ground, shells were everywhere, and there was a series of bombardments, I heard Huo Changfan scolding his grandmother, so he pulled out his gun and rushed over with the soldiers behind him.

Mu Jingchi sat in the car with me in his arms for a while, looking at the chaos outside the car window with a blank face, and after a long time he said to the driver, "Drive." ”

But as soon as he finished saying the word "drive", I stabbed him directly in the heart.

Mu Jing snorted sullenly, a little unexpected, he didn't understand what was going on for a long time, I looked at him, he looked at me, I stabbed the knife into his chest an inch with a little force.

No one in the car found out what was going on, not even Steward Zhou, who was sitting in front.

The air was extremely quiet, Mu Jingchi did not alarm anyone, he looked down at me, looked at me for a long time, my hands were trembling, trembling endlessly, my head was next to his chest, my clothes covered my whole person, almost only the upper half of my face was exposed.

After he grabbed my hand, I thought he was calling someone, or directly asking people to kill me, but he didn't have him, just looked down at me for a long time, suddenly covered my lips, pulled the knife in my hand out silently, and he pressed me back into my clothes.

Then he stared indifferently ahead, as if nothing had happened.

I'm still in his arms.

I don't know how long the car has been driving, when I feel more and more warm blood on my body, Mu Jingchi still didn't let go of the hand covering my lips, I struggled in his arms, struggled for a while, didn't struggle to get away, Mu Jingchi suddenly lifted me up directly, and his hand pinched me around my neck.

I didn't dare to move again for an instant, but Steward Zhou, who was sitting in front of me, heard the movement, and when he turned around to look at Mu Jingchi, he asked, "Sir, are we going back overnight, or are we going to the city to rest in the inn temporarily."

Mu Jingchi pale his lips and said, "Rest for a while." ”

Steward Zhou stared at Mu Jingchi's face for a long time, and saw that he didn't move while holding me, and still didn't find anything unusual, so he said again: "Okay, then I'll ask the driver to find an inn to stop." ”

Mu Jingchi closed his eyes slightly, and he hummed.

When we didn't know how long we had been in this position, Mu Jingchi, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes in the dim light, his voice was still as clear as before, and he asked, "Old Zhou, have you arrived?" ”

Steward Zhou looked around in front and said, "It's almost there, turn around again." ”

He hummed and lowered his eyes again, but I felt that he was gradually losing his strength as he learned, but his hand around his neck did not move.

I don't know how long it took, when the car stopped, the driver got out of the car first, but Mu Jingchi didn't move.

The driver came to our door, and after he opened the door, he reminded him, "Sir, it's here." ”

Mu Jingchi hugged me and still didn't move, and when the driver still wanted to speak, Mu Jingchi said in a weak voice: "Ah Si, go find a doctor, don't alarm anyone." ”

But before this sentence came out, Ah Si suddenly saw that Mu Jingchi's seat was full of thick blood, there was a knife soaked in blood at his feet, as a bodyguard's vigilance, he quickly pulled the clothes that covered me, he saw that Mu Jingchi's moon-white robe was full of blood, he suddenly took out a gun and aimed it at my head, just about to shoot, Mu Jingchi suddenly shouted sternly: "Ah Si!" ”

The bodyguard's hand smacked.

Steward Zhou saw the movement here, so he also got out of the car and walked over, he saw the blood in that place, as well as a knife in the snow, and Mu Jingchi's hand holding my neck.

As if he understood something, he slowly pressed the bodyguard's hand down.

Mu Jingchi took a deep breath, calmed down, and said with a cold face, "Help me get out of the car." ”

Steward Zhou said yes, and soon helped him up, Mu Jingchi still didn't let go of me, his hand always clasped my neck, and after I got out of the car with him, he still wrapped the red places on our bodies with clothes.

When Steward Zhou opened the room, the moment we arrived in the room, I felt that Mu Jingchi couldn't support it anymore, I tried all my strength to escape, but before I escaped from his side for a meter, I felt that someone was holding a gun in the back of my head.

When I looked back, it was Mu Jingchi.

His face was close to transparency, and he asked me, "Where do you want to go, huh?" ”

I didn't move, just looked at him coldly.

He smiled and asked, "Want to leave?" ”

He let out a low laugh, which sent chills down his spine, and he said, "Where I am, you are there, and you don't want to leave in this life." After speaking, he said to Steward Zhou next to him: "Buckle it up, don't let her run away." ”

Then, he threw the gun to the ground, clutched his chest and coughed violently, at this moment he could no longer support it, covered the bleeding wound, and walked towards the bed not far away, and then, when he reached the bedside, he was limp on the bed.

Steward Zhou immediately rushed over, grabbed him, and shouted: "Sir! ”

Mu Jingchi's moon-white robe was full of blood, and even his pale lips were stained with shocking blood, and after he was helped up by Steward Zhou, he said again: "Don't hurt her." Then Mu Jingchi said calmly: "Prepare gauze and disinfectant, as well as penicillin, the doctor can't catch up, so I will deal with it first." ”

Steward Zhou looked at him for a while, and now he was also in a panicked situation, but at this time, no one dared to disobey his order, and Steward Zhou immediately said yes.

Then he quickly went out and went downstairs, and in about a few minutes, he took out a first-aid kit from the car and took out all the things that Mu Jingchi wanted before.

There was obviously a lot of cold sweat oozing on his forehead, but the injury didn't seem to be on him, he still calmly told Steward Zhou what to do, when Steward Zhou followed his words, bandaged the wound step by step, and the bleeding stopped temporarily.

He lay there panting, I don't know how long it took, and then he ordered, "Ah Si, bring her over." ”

The Ah Si who clamped me suddenly threw me directly to the ground, and I fell to the ground, Mu Jingchi looked down at me, he raised his pale hand and lifted my chin, I could only look up at him.

He saw the naked hatred in my eyes, and laughed softly inexplicably, and said, "You have been waiting for this knife for many years." ”

I didn't move, I didn't speak.

"I've been waiting for this for years." He said this as if he was muttering to himself, and there was a hint of relief in his eyes.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said: "Since you have been by my side for so many years, I have been constantly thinking in my heart, will she stay at my thirty years old, or forty years old, or my fifty years old?" I didn't expect that so soon, before I was over forty, you couldn't wait to start. ”

He coughed twice, and the bed shook, and after a long time, he gasped and covered the corners of his lips with a handkerchief to cough up the blood.

He closed his eyes, and said in a slightly tired and abrupt tone: "After so many years, my kindness to you can't match the hatred you have in my heart. ”

A tear slipped from the end of his eye, and it sank directly into the cotton wool in the pillow, silently, at a very fast speed.

For a while, the room was very quiet, Mu Jingchi stopped talking, leaning there as if he was asleep, I don't know how long it took, the doctor hurried over, he had fainted.

After that, the house was in a mess, and I was taken out by Aji, and they locked me in a room full of people.

I curled up in the corner, listening to the movement over there, looking at the window outside, the sky was gradually getting brighter, with a hazy fog, I raised my hands stained with Mu Jingchi's blood, to touch the cold sun.

I chuckled, and then I cried, and I cowered in the corner and cried out in fear.

I don't know how long I've been locked up in my room here, I don't know how it was after a night of panic, and then there was a dead silence for the next few days.

I just watched the sun rise and the moon rise and go over and over again.

Finally, the door was opened, and the person who came in was Steward Zhou, who stood at the door and looked at me with a blank face, I almost thought that his eyes were about to kill me, but he didn't move, and just told the people who were guarding me outside: "Close the door." ”

Then he went out, and the door was slammed shut again.

By the next day, I didn't eat or drink, and gradually my physical strength was gone, I lay on the cold ground, and fell asleep in a daze, I don't know how long I slept, I opened my eyes again and woke up, the person was not in the inn, but in the room of the Mu family, Zhou's mother sat on the edge of my bed, and she cried with red eyes.

When she saw that I was awake, she no longer looked at me with the same kindness as before, but cried and said, "Miss, you are so confused! ”

I didn't speak, just looked at her in a daze, she didn't seem to want to look at me anymore, from my bedside, she covered her lips and ran out, and soon a person came in the room, it was Qing'er.

She sat on the edge of my bed, holding a bowl of soup in her hand, then it was cold, scooped a spoonful and handed it to my lips, I moved numbly twice, caught it, and then took a sip, I asked Qing'er: "Is he dead?" ”

Qing'er's hand holding the bowl tightened, so she didn't speak, and continued to feed me.

I don't know how long it took, another person came in outside the door, this time it was Wang Zhizhi, she stood in front of my bed with a cold face, she looked at me.

I also looked at her, and she said, "Lu Qingye, you should die outside, you shouldn't come back." ”

Qing'er stopped the spoon in her hand, sat aside and didn't dare to make any more moves, just lowered her head and listened.

Wang Zhizhi saw that I was just looking at her, she actually grabbed the bowl of soup in Qing'er's hand and threw it to the ground, pointed at me and said: "You actually did such a thing, he has now been stabbed by your knife and only has half a life left, he is so good to you, he has traveled thousands of miles to save you, but you repay him like this, Lu Qingye, you are not human!" ”

I turned my head tiredly, not wanting to look at her or hear anything from her.

Qing'er, who is usually not afraid of Wang Zhizhi, can't even say a word at this time.

In the end, Wang Zhizhi cried, she said: "Lu Qingye, if he has three long and two short, I will ask you to pay for your life, you remember my words." ”

Then there was an earth-shattering sound on the door, the door was closed, and Wang Zhizhi left the room.

I closed my eyes.

Qing'er crouched on the ground and picked up the shards.
