Xu Biyi's entire mind is immersed in the memories of the past, but the catastrophe of the past few days has overwhelmed her mind and spirit, and the past is a passing thing for others. And in her heart, it wasn't even a passing cloud, just a confused, vague shadow.

Like a female baby catching fireflies on a summer night, these past dust is like a firefly that is exhausted Xu Biyi, like a firefly that is uncertain, when she wants to deliberately capture its traces, she finds that she has lost it, and the afterglow of the firefly is after all in her eyes and heart, these old things are like in the dim green light, in the vast yellow scrolls in the building with thousands of books, trying to find an inconspicuous solitary book, which is extremely troublesome.

For Xu Biyi, who is in a trance, this is naturally an extremely draining thing, and in addition to the serious illness that has not been cured, it looks like a broken body.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Biyi really couldn't hold it anymore, she only felt that she was soft and red, and the past was all in her heart, but she didn't know how these things happened.

"Oh, my head hurts, it's really uncomfortable." Xu Biyi dragged a book on her forehead, which emitted bursts of pain from time to time, and looked a little unbearable.

Xu Biyi only felt a little depressed in her heart, and even felt that her brain was like being strangled by a rough rope, and she was in pain for a while, and this kind of headache really made Xu Biyi feel uncomfortable in her heart.

The headache was not good, coupled with the dazzling halo from the scorching sun hanging high, Xu Biyi felt that her body seemed to be hollowed out like something, soft and powerless.

Seeing Master Xu's state like this, Xiao Chan seemed to be a little frightened and said to Xu Biyi: "Master, are you okay?" Isn't it that the body feels a little uncomfortable? ”

Xu Biyi, who was already a little sweaty, heard Xiao Chan's question, and nodded at Xiao Chan with some sluggishness and difficulty; "It's a sunny day today, and it's not bad to come out for a walk, but I feel a little headache from time to time."

Xiao Chan heard Xu Biyi's words, looked up at the sky, and said to Xu Biyi as if blaming herself: "This matter is all on Xiao Chan, Mrs. Ma appointed the slave and maid to take care of the master's daily life, and the slave and maid did not dare not be unreasonable. Originally, Xiao Zen saw that the master was always nested in the house, and the people were not close, so the isolation of the group was originally helpful to recuperate, not to mention that Mrs. Ma often sent her subordinates here to greet and take care of her, not enough slaves and maids to come and see the sun all day long, after all, it was a little bad, so he suggested to the master that there was nothing to come out to bask in the sun, but I didn't expect the master to really get into the heart and come out to bask in the sun, and it turned out to be like this. He also asked the master to punish the slave and the maid. ”

These sad words entered Xu Biyi's ears, and she felt a little sad and pity for the maid in front of her.

"It's not your fault, you can't be angry with yourself, I never blamed you for a word, but the current situation is definitely not under the sun." Xu Biyi said to Xiao Zen with a somewhat tired expression.

Xiao Chan heard Xu Biyi's words, and knew that Xu Biyi was already a little tired, thinking that she was exposed to the sun and was a little dizzy.

With this thought in his heart, Xiao Chan hurriedly said: "If the master dislikes this, it is better to move to a shady place elsewhere." ”

Xu Biyi heard Xiao Chan say this, but she had no other opinion, so she said to Xiao Chan: "It's okay like this, but my body is weak and weak, and my mouth is a little thirsty, if I can change a place to rest, it's just the best." It's just that my body is tired and weak at the moment, and I can't move my feet. If you can move, even if you turn back, it's not bad. ”

"If the master is not happy, it is better to lean on the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid can help the master to move the ground." Xiao Chan spoke to Xu Biyi quite gently and obediently.

Xu Biyi was slightly stunned, feeling that if she relied on this Xiao Zen to move forward, it would be a little inconvenient to move forward, so she said to Xiao Zen: "It's okay, at the moment, I can only use Xiao Zen on your shoulder, and today is bound to affect you." If you feel that it is hard, just say it, and let's rest for a while before leaving. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Chan said with trepidation: "The master laughed, serving the master is originally the slave's job, and it is also the honor of the slave to be able to walk for the master." ”

Hearing Xiao Chan's words, Xu Biyi naturally had nothing to say, so she said to Xiao Chan: "I have involved you today, and there will be a reward in the future." ”

"This is just a gesture, where can I ask the master to reward the slave and the maid, if the master really does this, wouldn't he kill the slave and the maid alive." Hearing Xu Biyi's words, Xiao Chan hurriedly intercepted Xu Biyi's words.

Then he walked to Xu Biyi's side, pointed to a rockery with strange rocks not far away, and said to Xu Biyi: "Master, that side is verdant with grass and trees, there is a pond rockery, it is a good place to rest, it is better for the master to move over there first, and wait until the strength is restored, and then make other plans." ”

When Xu Biyi heard this, she looked up along the direction pointed by Xiao Chan, and saw that there was a place not far away, with deep winding paths, and considerable grass, trees, stones, and soil. ”

Hearing that Xu Biyi promised her such a suggestion, Xiao Chan would be a little happy and said to Xu Biyi: "Since the master also agrees to go forward to rest for a while, it is the best, please ask the master to lean on the body of the slave and let the slave and the maid help you to go over there." ”

When Xu Biyi heard this, she didn't say anything but obeyed Xiao Chan very softly, stretched out a hand and put her arm around Xiao Chan's shoulder, Xiao Chan saw that the master had moved, and understood that Xu Biyi had obeyed her own meaning, so she obediently leaned towards Xu Biyi's side, so that the two seemed to support each other and walked forward.

Walked not far away, then arrived at the rockery, a place where the winding path is secluded, the surrounding grass and trees are flourishing, there is a stone step extending up from the rockery pile, obviously it is the high place leading to the rockery, look up, only to see the pavilion winged, hanging high above the rockery, the pavilion is close to the deep pool, the water is rippling, but also chic and gratifying.

Xu Biyi and Xiao Chan were excited, and they both felt that it was good to go up to the pavilion and sit down, the two looked at each other, and they had already seen this in each other's eyes, so they nodded to each other.

Xu Biyi opened her mouth and said to Xiao Chan: "The pavilion above here is also elegant and gratifying, why don't you go up with me to have a look." ”

Hearing that Xu Biyi had this idea, Xiao Chan looked around worriedly and said: "It's okay for the master to want to go up, but Mrs. Ma told the slave and maid to take care of the master carefully, so as not to let the master go out of the pool. ”

As soon as Xu Biyi heard this, she said: "It doesn't matter, you just go up and sit with me for a while, even if you let Mrs. Ma know, I will personally talk to him about this matter, and I will never let Mrs. Ma blame you." ”

Xiao Chan heard Xu Biyi's words, and he was just hesitant in his heart, Mrs. Ma's strict orders must be listened to, but Master Xu's willingness to maintain his friendship like this is also very touching, if he doesn't obey Xu Biyi's words today, even if he can get a good word from Mrs. Ma, but in front of Xu Biyi, I'm afraid that I will dismiss her words and hurt her face, which is really not a trivial matter.

It was really difficult to make up her mind, and after hesitating in a dilemma, she could only continue to plead with Xu Biyi: "Master, it's not that the slave and maid refuse to agree to the master's request, it's just that Mrs. Ma warned the slave and maid that there seems to be someone in the house who wants to be unfavorable to the master, and wants the slave and maid to follow the master at any time, so as not to let the master go to a place where he may encounter accidents." ”

Hearing this, Xu Biyi felt a little unbearable to continue to ask Xiao Chan to climb the stairs with him and climb the pavilion on the rockery, but she still had some expectations in her heart to be able to climb up to take a look, so she pleaded with Xiao Chan in a low voice: "Mrs. Ma is really too careful, now it is clear every day, even if there are people in the mansion who want to be unfavorable to me, they will never choose such a time, you see that those houses not far away are not the places where the servants in the mansion live, the voices of people can be heard, how can someone want to harm me here." What Mrs. Ma said to you is just that she wants you to serve me carefully, and there is nothing else, you see that although this pavilion is on the rockery, it is not high above the ground, you can go up with me, and don't let Mrs. Ma know. ”

When Xiao Chan saw Xu Biyi refusing to climb the rockery with her, and ran to the pavilion to have a good look, it made people feel unbearable in their hearts, and now they saw Xu Biyi begging for themselves, Xiao Chan felt that if he really rejected Xu Biyi's idea, he was afraid that it would make Xu Biyi sad.

Thinking like this, Xiao Chan turned his heart to Xu Biyi and said: "Okay, I promised the master to hide from Mrs. Ma and let the master go up and have a look, but the master must be cautious, go up and see how about going back with me for a while." ”

Xu Biyi was naturally extremely happy when she heard that Xiao Chan had agreed to her request, so she said happily to Xiao Chan: "Thank you Xiao Chan for covering up for me today, if Mrs. Ma doesn't know about this, then there will be nothing at all, you might as well go with me to rest for a while." ”

Xiao Chan just agreed to Xu Biyi's request, and he already felt that even if he disobeyed Mrs. Ma's will, he would have to make this lovely Xu Biyi's master happy, and now seeing Xu Biyi's appearance, Xiao Chan felt that although he was against Mrs. Ma's will, even if Mrs. Ma learned about it, he would be willing to punish himself in the future, after all, he had fulfilled a wish of Xu Biyi's master today, so even if he was punished a lot, he was willing.

Xiao Chan had this idea in his heart, so he said to Xu Biyi: "Master, at the moment, I am doing these things without telling Mrs. Ma, so I also ask the master to leave this place as soon as possible, and never linger here, otherwise if Mrs. Ma knows, not only will I be punished, but I am afraid that the master will not be able to walk around in the house in the near future." ”

This said to Xu Biyi's heart, since the last serious illness, Ma Xiuying was afraid that Xu Biyi would be harmed by people with unknown forces in the mansion, so she tried to make a statement in front of Wu Guogong to let Xu Biyi move to her own mansion.

Zhu Yuanzhang originally had some bad feelings for Xu Biyi, but when he heard that Xu Biyi was seriously ill, he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, so he agreed to the matter.

Since Ma Xiuying got Zhu Yuanzhang's promise, she sent someone to take Xu Biyi to live in the courtyard near her house, and also arranged for people to take care of Xu Biyi.

Ma Xiuying, who had a glimpse of the clue from the previous situation, judged that someone in the house wanted to deal with Xu Biyi, so she instructed the slaves and maids who served Xu Biyi to take care of Xu Biyi carefully and meticulously, and not let Xu Biyi go wrong.

Ma Xiuying has this order, and those who were assigned by Ma Xiuying to take care of Xu Biyi are even more carefully selected, and they dare not forget Ma Xiuying's instructions all the time. And Xiao Zen, who was originally a very powerful girl under Ma Xiuying, naturally did not dare to easily disobey Ma Xiuying's will.

It's just that when I saw Xu Biyi's refreshed look, I couldn't bear it, and I was moved with compassion, so I decided that even if it was against Mrs. Ma's will, I would make Xu Biyi, who rarely smiled, happy, and willing to cover up the matter in front of Ma Xiuying for Xu Biyi, and felt that I had to accompany Xu Biyi to the pavilion.

With such thoughts in his heart, for Xiao Chan, he has already abandoned his bottom line and is willing to help Xu Biyi make Xu Biyi happy.

So, Xiao Chan accompanied Xu Biyi to the pavilion on the rockery. The pavilion stands tall on a rockery, like an eagle spreading its wings.

Standing on top of the pavilion and looking down, you can see the situation in the garden, the scenery is beautiful and pleasant, beautiful, refreshing, and indescribably happy. The depression and unhappiness that have come these days have been swept away for a while. Xiao Chan saw that Xu Biyi was happy, and felt a lot of comfort.

Xu Biyi said slowly: "Standing on this rockery, I think of what happened in the mountains and wilderness before. I think back to being so carefree before, but now I am so worried. If I had a choice, I wouldn't have chosen it. ”

Seeing her sigh, Xiao Chan said on the side: "Madam, we were originally talking about happy things, why are you unhappy all of a sudden?" ”

"You're right, let's not mention unhappy things." Xu Biyi said.

The two of them were talking lively, and suddenly, Xiao Zen seemed to have lost his center of gravity, and the whole person suddenly rushed forward. The rockery is more than ten zhang high, and below is a pebble paved ground, and the stone is very uneven. On the other side is a garden surrounded by a railing.

Xu Biyi was taken aback and hurriedly shouted, "Xiao Zen." And he stretched out his hand and pulled her. But Xiao Zen retracted his hand. Because if they were really pulled by Xu Biyi, the two of them might fall into the water together. Therefore, she didn't want to involve Xu Biyi. She would rather die herself.

Xu Biyi watched Xiao Zen's body, like a white lotus floating in the wind, fall to the ground. Then, the sky was full of red. The color of blood stained her eyes and made her heart ache.

Before she could come back to her senses, she felt someone push her behind her back. Then, her whole body fluttered in mid-air like a feather.

At that moment, she finally understood that someone had framed her, and someone had deliberately killed her, so she killed Xiao Chan first. She felt a deep sense of remorse. Blame yourself for everything, if it weren't for this, how could you come to such a high place with Xiao Zen, so that people who are spying in the dark have a chance to take advantage of it?

I died, but there was nothing, but it was a pity for Xiao Zen. Xiao Zen is so good to herself, like a biological sister. Be willing to do anything for yourself. This friendship is not comparable to sisters who have been together for many years. However, he watched her fall to death in front of her like this.

Xiao Zen, don't cry, don't feel lonely. I'm here to accompany you. She said softly.

Probably because of the force of the person who pushed her, she did not fall on the cobblestone ground, but fell into the pool.

Xu Biyi was born in the countryside since she was a child, she knows water, and swimming is nothing to her. However, now she has no idea of living at all.

When she saw Xiao Zen lying on the ground, she felt inexplicably sad in her heart. I always feel that the world is deceitful, either you owe me, or I owe you, rather than this, you just die if you don't enter. So, she gave up struggling.

At this moment, she was pregnant with a mortal heart. She thought of a lot of people. She thought of her brother Xu Da, she looked into the distance, and a wild goose went away with a mournful cry. Go far, far away, unknown places.

"Big brother, you have to take care, end this war early, and come back early." She whispered in her heart.

She thought of Chu Liuyan, and her heart was full of envy and gratitude to her. She envied her, she was also a woman, she had seen her helpless at the beginning, and she had seen her heartbroken, but why now, why can she be completely different? She can command thousands of troops and horses, she can be calm, she can come up with tricks, help Zhu Yuanzhang fight the country, and become Xu Da's most powerful assistant. She can dominate the world and do a career that a man can't do. She lives so freely and unrestrained, she has never been afraid, and she lives the life she wants.

Why? Why can't you do it yourself?

She was grateful to Chu Liuyan. I am grateful to Chu Liuyan for doing so many things for himself. I am grateful to Chu Liuyan for being in the midst of the war, and he still remembers his comfort. He also wrote so many letters to inform himself of the situation on the front line and the situation of his brother, and he always encouraged her, comforted her, made her strong, and let her live well.
