No matter how the Holy Maiden of Mingyue and Liu Ye persuaded her, Qing Ling still couldn't get rid of the trauma, but became more and more depressed, not only rejecting the teacher, but also full of resistance to the upcoming wedding.

If it comes to the day of marriage, Qing Ling is still disgusted with himself and alienates the teacher, and even cancels the plan to marry, the medicine gourd and the poisonous scorpion will suspect that if they exert their usual ability to peel off the cocoon, I am afraid that the misfortune suffered by Qing Ling will be open in front of everyone, and she will not be able to let go of it at that time.

After Liu Ye and the Holy Maiden of Mingyue discussed, they came up with a more extreme idea, now that the wedding date is imminent, they can't continue to be sad, they must let Qingling come out of the pain as soon as possible and start a new life, if not, then this matter should also be resolved, instead of torturing everyone.

The new courtyard will be able to live in two days, and after that day, the old village chief and his family have not gone up the mountain again, and the villagers have not asked much except for curiosity, but they think that his eldest daughter-in-law is really unwell, and the family is at home to take care of her and the newborn grandson.

The village chief's youngest son, Doro, has not been seen since he fled, and he doesn't know if he is alive or dead, but judging by his injuries, he probably won't last long. Even if he survived, his broken body could no longer harm others, but Liu Ye always had some worries in his heart before cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, but for the sake of Qingling's peace of mind, he could only let him go.

Aya died tragically in order to protect Qingling, the village chief's wife couldn't accept this fatal blow, and finally gave up the little son who didn't make it and expelled him from the house.

Now, it doesn't matter whether the animal lives or dies, the tragedy has happened, and how to revive the survivors is the most important thing. Qing Ling never figured it out, she hadn't done anything harmful to the world, nor had she hurt innocent people, why should God be so cruel. Moreover, it is this kind of fatal disaster for the girl's family, which makes her live in inferiority forever from now on, always feeling that she is dirty, she looks down on herself, and she has no face to see her beloved man.

Every woman wants to be pure and immaculate in the eyes of her lover, especially in that era, so it is not difficult to understand Qingling's thoughts and persistence, but senseless stubbornness can only make herself more and more miserable, miss happiness and push her beloved out of the door.

Liu Ye and Qing Ling sat in the courtyard choosing vegetables, the Qing Ling in front of them was much more haggard than before, the deeply sunken eye sockets were cloudy, the clear and bright big eyes had lost their former light, and they were lifeless like people who were about to die in the same country. Her face was sallow, her complexion was very bad, as if she had a serious illness that had not been cured for a long time, her thin shoulders were even thinner, and her hands were shaking, which was caused by her body being too weak.

Qingling hid in the house and refused to see anyone, Liu Ye forced her out to bask in the sun, and found some work for her to do, so that she gradually regained the feeling she once had. It's just that Qingling doesn't feel anything, she is willing to come out, she just wants to help Liu Ye do something, it can be said that she just copes.

"Listening to the poisonous scorpion, the new yard will be almost built, and people will be able to live in two days, Lao Hulu and Tu Qitang have found someone to build tables, chairs, bed cabinets, and also bought cotton bedding, as well as a stove, and we can survive the winter when the weather is cold." Liu Ye started with a light topic, and noticed that when he mentioned the new courtyard, Qing Ling's body trembled violently, and then said something innocuous again.

Qing Ling nodded, and Mu Ran said: "Well, that's fine, it's quite cold on the mountain, and I'm afraid it's even colder in winter." ”

"Did you find it, the old gourd and the poisonous scorpion don't quarrel anymore these days, they seem to get along well!" Liu Ye started the topic without being salty or indifferent.

"Well, that's good, they're arguing endlessly, and they're tired of hearing it. However, who knew that they would be able to do it for several days, and it was normal for grandfather to be busy and unhappy to take care of people, and not to quarrel for a while. But the poisonous scorpion is not sure, if he doesn't quarrel every few days, he will suffocate to death. ”

Liu Ye was a little happy when he heard what she said, at least Qingling was not distant, and was willing to chat with her.

"Tu Qitang is interested in carpentry and is working hard to complete his first work, he said it is a desk, but I look like a coffee table, maybe because it is not finished yet!"

"Well, it's good, the sect leader has always been very smart, and he learns everything quickly, just let him do what you need in the future."

"Also, Master Shi has also found new fun, do you know, he planted some flowers and vegetables in the back of the yard, and he got up early every day to loosen the soil, seriously!" When Liu Ye talked about Shizhong, he couldn't help but look at Qing Ling's reaction.

"......" Qingling neither said yes nor reacted, but resumed silence again.

Seeing that they started talking, the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon was anxious, took an embroidered bandage to cover up, and came over to listen to what they had to say. Perhaps the expression looked too deliberate, but Qing Ling lowered his head again and remained silent after looking at it.

"Ling'er, last night your grandfather asked me, when you get married, should he also change into new clothes, I said it's better to be like this, guess what, he went down the mountain to buy new clothes early this morning. He also shouted to buy one for all of us, and even asked the sky for a share. Seeing that Liu Ye was giving her a look, the Bright Moon Holy Maiden motioned for her to stop talking, and the Bright Moon Holy Maiden sighed and turned around and walked back to the room.

Qing Ling pulled the green vegetables hard, as if she was tearing at the enemy, and her mood began to repeat again. Lately, she has been like this a lot, either angry or silent, unwilling to communicate with others, and living in her own world.

This is not the result that Liu Ye wants, she knows that Qing Ling is holding the wound and refuses to accept treatment, she would rather wait for it to suppurate and fester, and die than let others pick open the scar and release pus and blood. But if you want to be completely cured, it is necessary to use some extreme means, and it is also necessary for her to experience pain again, and only by completely removing the root cause of the disease can she fully recover.

"Qing Ling, have you deliberately avoided Master Shi in the past few days?" Liu Ye didn't plan to beat around the bush and cut directly into her sore spot.

"I ......" Qing Ling's hand let go, the vegetables in her hand fell to the ground, she looked at Liu Ye in panic like a child who had done something wrong, "I, I didn't mean to, I don't want to do this, I don't want to......"

"I know, you just don't know how to face him." Liu Ye put down the bamboo basket, pulled a small stool to sit down close to her, and said softly, "I understand that you don't want to see him sad the most, you have tried very hard to forget everything, but you still can't do it, right?" ”

Qingling's aggrieved tears burst out of his eyes, and he nodded again and again: "Princess, I don't know what's wrong with me, I understand the truth you and the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, but I just can't do it, I still hurt the person I care about the most." I wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, to face him like I had done before, but I really couldn't, I didn't deserve him, and as soon as I saw him, I remembered how dirty I was, how could I have the audacity to pretend that nothing had happened? How can I be so selfish and hide everything from him to ask him to marry me? ”

"Concealment? Why hide it from him? Liu Ye seized this point and asked.

"Then, that ......" Qing Ling was stunned, then shook his head, "Then what should I do?" Will he be able to accept such a filthy wife? If he knew about that, he would have left a shadow in his heart, and he would be more and more uncomfortable with me, he was a man, and what man could tolerate his wife being defiled? ”

"Since you're worried that he cares after marriage, it's better to tell him everything before you get married!" Liu Ye said his suggestion, "You are not married, you are not husband and wife, if he knows the truth and can accept it, you will not have such concerns after you get married." ”

"What?" Qing Ling repeated her words, "You want me to tell him the truth?" This, how can this be? ”

"Aren't you afraid he'll care? So why not make sure of his heart before getting married? If he doesn't care, whether you are his wife or not, he won't take that matter to heart, and if he cares, you don't have to continue to torture each other, it's hard to let go, but it's better than being entangled in pain for a lifetime. ”

"A lifetime of entanglement and pain......" Qing Ling pondered what she said, thinking about it repeatedly, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

"Qingling, long pain is better than short pain, there is no point in you torturing yourself like this, and you are not only living for one person in the division. You can't bear to hurt him, are you willing to make your grandfather sad? The matter between you and the teacher must be concluded as soon as possible, and you are most worried that he will dislike you, so it is better to ask for a clear understanding. If he can accept you who is unbearable, you don't need to hesitate, this kind of man must marry ......"

"What if he can't accept it?" Qing Ling interrupted her eagerly.

"Then let go completely, return each other freely, don't worry about getting married, and you will be separated!" Liu Ye saw the grief in her eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "It can only be said that your relationship is not deep enough to withstand the test, so it is not necessary to be reluctant to be together, and it is inevitable that you will be separated in the future." ”

"Separated?" Qingling lowered her head, tears surging on her face, she didn't think of this possibility, but she didn't have the courage to face the reality, "Is this the only way to go?" In the end, I couldn't keep him......"

Liu Ye held her hand and said, "No, there is another way, that is, you work together to tide over the difficulties, support each other to cross this hurdle, and live happily together from now on." ”

Qing Ling raised his head suddenly, and his red eyes looked directly at Liu Ye: "Can I still be happy?" Will he and I still be able to get together? ”

"Yes, absolutely, but you have to have the courage to face reality first. Be brave, you have half the chance, but if you hesitate, you'll end up at a dead end. Liu Ye encouraged, "Believe in your choice, the reality may not be as ruthless as you think, while it's still too late, for you, for him, fight for it!" ”

"I ......" Qing Ling was a little timid, "I don't dare, I can't, I see him, I don't know what to say......"

"You know what? Qingling, the most precious shining point in you is that you are brave and honest enough, you never hide your heart, and what you present to us is the most real you. I think this is what you appreciate the most. ”

Qing Ling thought for a long time and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Actually, you say this, I understand your intentions, this method may not be undesirable, yes, I am about to be driven crazy by my own concerns, I would rather lose him forever than live like this again." Without him, I still have my grandfather and father who raised me, and we can still live back in Akatani Castle. ”

"Princess, I'm willing to give it a try, I'm lucky, I can't die, he and I are originally people from two worlds, and there is nothing to regret about being strangers again. As long as he is doing well, as long as he is happy, I am willing to leave him. Qing Ling wiped away the tears on his face and tried to smile hard, "Okay, let's just decide, I've had enough of this torture, since I still have to live, I can't be half-dead like this, let my grandfather worry, make him sad, maybe, this is a test given to us by God, if we can't escape it, we can raise our heads and face it." ”

Liu Ye smiled happily: "Great, the Qingling I know is back." ”

Qing Ling sniffed and took Liu Ye's hand: "However, princess, I still have to rely on your help, there are some things I can't say, you can help me tell him!" I wait for him, and whatever decision he makes, I accept it! ”

"Okay, that's it!" Liu Ye couldn't bear to torture Qingling, and agreed to her request, although this errand was very difficult, it was better than her and Shizhong continuing to entangle.

Shizhong was not surprised by Liu Ye's request to talk alone, he expected that Qingling had something in his heart, but he couldn't face him calmly, and it was reasonable to find Liu Ye to help her speak.

"Master, there is no need to be polite between you and me, I'll just make a long story short!" Liu Ye looked at the frowning Shizhong and said bluntly.

Shi Zhong nodded: "This is the best, if even the princess can't tell me directly, I will think that I am too a failure." ”

"You, like Qingling, you always find problems from yourself when you encounter things, it's very good for you to do this, but there are some things that you can't blame, why blame yourself!" Liu Ye sighed and said, "Let's take Qingling as an example, encountering this kind of thing is tantamount to a disaster, she would rather die of a disaster herself than live to face the people she cares about, but she finally survived and survived bravely." It takes more courage to live than to die, doesn't it! ”

Shi Zhong was stunned: "Qingling, what's wrong with her?" Why seek death? ”

"Master, you are mentally prepared, what I say next may be difficult for you to accept, but for the sake of you and Qingling's future, I have to say these words. Of course, the choice is yours, and no one will force you to make a decision, which is also the original intention of me and Qingling. Liu Ye still had palpitations when he mentioned that terrifying experience, not to mention the Qingling who had experienced it himself.

Shizhong replied solemnly: "I'm ready, please tell me the princess what happened." ”

Liu Ye talked about what happened that day with difficulty, and there was no omission from beginning to end, except for some pictures, she blurred them, and the incident was clearly told to Shizhong.

Shizhong's expression became more and more solemn, he knew that Qingling had something on his mind, but he didn't know that it was such a terrible thing. For a girl to be married, this disaster is simply more terrible than her life, he can hardly imagine how she has survived these days, she needs his comfort the most, but she can't show him anything, how painful she must be when she is alone!

No wonder she couldn't sleep and eat for several days and nights, no one could make her smile, and he didn't know the bitterness in her heart, he always looked for opportunities to talk to her to test her mind, she must have suffered incalculable pain while dodging and escaping, instead of knowing how to comfort, he pushed her into a more painful situation, how could he do this!

Doro, the youngest son of the old village chief's family, was full of hatred for this animal, and if he could, he hated to slaughter it with his own hands to avenge Qingling. What he hated most was not that Doro had taken away Qingling's innocence, but that Qingling had suffered the pain of life worse than death.

Liu Ye said that they let Doro go, and Shi Zhong clenched his fists in excitement and cracked the thick, hard trunk beside him. Liu Ye was shocked, and hurriedly said: "We shouldn't show mercy to our subordinates, but for the sake of his mother, who just lost her daughter, we can only let him fend for himself." ”

"This beast deserves to die, but it is not worth staining your hands for his sake, for if he commits many injustices, he will be killed, and Heaven will take care of him." Shizhong took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions, "I hate myself for not protecting Qingling well and letting her suffer so much damage. She didn't tell me this, did she not have confidence in me? Did she think there was anything more important than that we could be together? I was very disappointed in myself, I thought she could see my sincerity, but it didn't. ”

Shizhong's tone was quite lonely, but Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, as she thought, Shizhong didn't mind what happened to Qing Ling, and Qing Ling finally got the happiness she wanted.

"Master, don't blame yourself, and don't doubt your feelings." Liu Ye's mood has eased a lot now, "Qingling doesn't have confidence in you, it's not that she doesn't see your sincerity, it's just because she cares too much that she denies herself, thinks that she is not worthy of you, and doesn't dare to approach you." You are not a girl's family, you can't understand her feelings, for a girl, it is a sacred thing to give her pure and immaculate self to her lover. Her hopes were disappointed, and she couldn't bear the blow and began to despise herself and hate herself......"

"She's not wrong, what's wrong with her?" Shi Zhong's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and his tone was a little choked, "She's so stupid, why is she pushing all the faults on herself!" It's all my fault, I didn't protect her well, it's all my ......"

Liu Ye patted him on the back and comforted: "Don't blame yourself, I don't say this, I don't want you to blame yourself, but I hope you can untie Qingling's heart knot and encourage her to cheer up again." Master, are you still willing to marry her? ”

Shizhong nodded vigorously: "Of course, I want to marry her, I must marry her, she is my wife, I will not marry anyone else except her." ”

Liu Ye said movingly: "If you tell Qingling these words, I believe she will understand." ”

"Hmm!" Shi Center gratefully shook Liu Ye's hand and quickly ran towards Qing Ling's residence.

Liu Ye looked at his back, kept laughing, and laughed out of tears.
