I've never seen so many ants, covering most of the room, and it's purple-red, like the purple-red of blood. So many ants are doing the same thing, that is, crawling in circles around Xuyun lying on the bed.

They crawled and surged together, like blood flowing on the ground, which made my scalp tingle and exude an eerie atmosphere.

I didn't dare to get closer, I just stared inside in horror, overwhelmed.

Xiaoyu even wrapped her fat arm around my neck, put her face on my neck, and cried out in fright, "Daddy...... There are a lot of ants around Daddy! Auntie, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid ......"

He made such a noise, but he pulled me back from fear, hugged him tightly, patted him on the back and coaxed, "Xiaoyu is not afraid, those ants can't hurt your father." You go back to the cot and sit down first, and Ah Niang goes to get them on fire and drive them away. ”

"Don't ...... I don't want to stay alone in the cot, I want to save Daddy with my mother! "Although Xiaoyu is small, but he has been taught by Xuyun to be very brave, and after the fear passes, he has to argue to help me. I was afraid that he would be hurt by those strange ants, so no matter how noisy he was, I put him on the bed in his little room, closed the door of the little room, and locked it from the outside.

He made a fuss in it for a while, and when he saw that I ignored him, he quieted down.

I didn't dare to waste time, so I went to the kitchen stove and lit a firewood, so I boldly turned back to the house, and just walked to the door of the room, I suddenly found that the purple-red ants on the ground were gone! And Xuyun, who was lying motionless on the bed, actually sat up with his back to the door.

This surprised me, "Xuyun, you...... Are you awake? Those...... What about those fuchsia ants? ”

After a few seconds of my words, Xu Yun slowly turned around, looked at me, and finally looked at the firewood he I was holding in his hand, and asked suspiciously, "What ant?" ”

"You just fell asleep, and there were a lot of fuchsia ants around your bed! I'm scared to death...... Hurry to the kitchen to get torches, ready to get rid of those ants, but why are they suddenly gone? As I spoke, I looked down at the ground, trying to find one or two of the terrible ants.

Hearing this, Xuyun hurriedly staggered out of bed, walked up to me, took the firewood from my hand, and then walked to the table and doused it with tea, "If it is really the purple-red ants you described that are circling around me, you can't hurt them with fire at all." The next time you encounter this situation, don't go near them, but quickly run away with a light rain. ”

"Then what's going on, you're still inside, how can we leave you alone!" I blurted out a rejection of him.

When Xu Yun heard me say this, he threw away the extinguished firewood in his hand, looked at me with a complicated expression, and sighed for a long time, "You fool, you always don't care about your life for me!" But do you know that in my heart, you are more important than me, I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of you death. ”

When he said this, the good-looking eyes gradually shone with water, which made me a little uncomfortable, "Xuyun, what do you say about immortality, I'm so scared to hear it." ”

He didn't look too far away, "It's me who is wrong, I shouldn't have said these unlucky things early in the morning." ”

At the end of the sentence, he patted his head with his hand before he walked to the bed, folded the quilt neatly, and walked to the wardrobe again, where he found a short-sleeved light blue slim-fitting shirt and a narrow-legged casual trousers to put on.

Seeing this, I knew that he was not going to sleep, and I felt a little sorry for him, "Xuyun, in the early hours of the morning, you seemed to be unwell, drank a lot of wine, and tossed until dawn before falling asleep, don't you sleep a little more now?" ”

Seeing that the collar of his shirt was turned into his clothes, I walked behind him and straightened it up for him.

"Nope. Today I have to go to the county seat early, there is a lot of medicine in the medical hall, and I must replenish it as soon as possible. When he saw that I was arranging his collar, he put down his hand and asked me to get it for him.

When I heard this, I was overjoyed, he was going to the county seat today, so could I secretly investigate the matter of Ruan Qing in the cellar? I'm really curious about this guy!

"Little Lotus ......" Just as I was deserting, Xuyun suddenly turned around, grabbed my hand, and called me.

I came back to my senses and looked up at him, "What's wrong?" ”

I saw Xu Yun's blood-colored eyes cast an angry gaze at me, "You went to the cellar?" ”

Hearing this, my heart chuckled, beating so fast that I couldn't breathe for a long time, "I...... I didn't! ”

The second time, I lied to him!

But as soon as I said this, he grabbed my wrist more and more tightly, and his breathing became heavier, "Really didn't go?" ”

I bit my lip to suppress my weakness, nodded stubbornly, and let out a cry from my throat, "Hmm." ”

Xuyun didn't respond to me for a long time, and the strength of grabbing my wrist didn't increase anymore, so I felt that he should have been deceived by me, so I was bold, raised my eyes and secretly peeked at his expression, only to see that his face was extremely gloomy, and his eyes were still staring at me, which made me gasp in fright, "I ......"

I knew that he was so smart, I couldn't hide it from him or anything, so I might as well confess it to him.

However, as soon as I said a word, he shook my hand away, "I can't lie!" If you didn't go to the cellar, why did you get dirty mud on your body? ”

As soon as he said this, I hurriedly looked down at myself, and found that there was a little bit of mud on my shoulders and hair, as if it was stained by that Ruan Qing when he touched me before! No wonder Xuyun would know that I went to the cellar!

"I didn't go, this dirty mud was accidentally picked up when I went to the kitchen to get firewood, right? Are you in a hurry to make a fuss? Besides, even if I go to the cellar......" I jerked my head up, peering at his face, and continued, "so what's the big deal?" Why are you mad at me? ”

"I didn't tell you, you have claustrophobia......"

"How long are you going to lie to me?" The first time I interrupted him, it made him stunned.

When I saw him like this, the emotions that had been suppressed in my heart for the past two years were suddenly released, and I continued: "When you were dragged to the utility room in the medical hall yesterday, I knew that I didn't have any claustrophobia at all!" Xuyun, I don't understand, why are you so afraid of me going to the cellar? What is there that scares you from knowing? ”

Xuyun was so unsteady that he couldn't breathe because of my words, and he stared at me for a long time without speaking. If it had been before, I would have avoided his gaze and asked him if I had made him upset by saying the wrong thing. But after learning that he had deceived me so many things, I didn't want to give in to him first. I want to force him to confess to me right now!

But time passed little by little, and we were in a stalemate like this for about ten minutes, and he still didn't mean to explain to me, which made me almost unable to be tough.

"A-Niang...... I'm afraid...... Auntie, I'm going out ......"

At this time, Xiaoyu's voice came from the small room next door, interrupting the confrontation between me and Xuyun. I sighed deeply, glanced at him, and responded to Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, A-Niang will open the door for you immediately, don't be afraid." ”

At the end of the sentence, he lifted his feet and walked away.

Xuyun is arrogant, so naturally he won't pull me. So, I quickly walked to the door of Xiaoyu's room and opened the door for him. As soon as Xiaoyu came out, he hugged my legs and looked timidly at our house. I guess I thought the red ants were in the house. As a result, Xu Yun then walked out of it with a calm face, and he suddenly cried, "Daddy is not dead? Then why did I pull Daddy's hand just now, and Daddy didn't wake up? ”

It turned out that this was the reason why he cried and shouted that Xuyun was dead just now!

When Xu Yun heard his words, his gloomy face eased a little, and he walked over, squatted down and pinched his fat face, "It's a shame that you are still the son of Doctor Miao, and you can't even tell the difference between the living and the dead." is really like your mother, she is always indistinguishable from her relatives and enemies. ”

After speaking, he deliberately raised his eyes and glanced at me.

I knew he was still upset about my trip to the cellar, but I took care of it this time, so I ignored him for the first time. Pulled Xiaoyu to the kitchen, "A-Niang will take you to make breakfast, so as not to be disgusted by others again." ”

"White Lotus!"

As a result, as soon as I pulled away from the light rain, he called out to me, and his tone was warning.

Rather than calling me by name, he was shouting the word "stop." I'm fed up with every quarrel, it's me who compromises him! So, I ignored it this time.

When Xiaoyu and I went to the kitchen to cook on the fire, I saw him walk out of the house, glanced at the backyard, and suddenly looked at me, I hurriedly turned my back and didn't dare to look at him.

He's not going to go to the cellar, is he? I just came out to save him, and it seems that I forgot to close the cellar door! If he had looked at it, he would have known that I had really been to the cellar......

What to do?

I was so nervous that I couldn't help but look over to him again, but I couldn't see anyone else, and then I looked to the backyard door, only to realize that he was really going to the cellar! My whole heart lifted, and I stared at his back until he came to the door of the firewood room and stopped.

"Doctor Zhao, we found Sister-in-law Ruan......"

Just as I walked out of the kitchen and stretched out my head to look at Xuyun, there was a loud shout from outside the courtyard gate.

The sound startled me, and I quickly shrank back into the kitchen. But in my heart, I was attracted by Da Zhuang's words, and Sister-in-law Ruan found it? So can I find a way to ask some things about Ruan Qing and Xu Yun?

"Doctor Zhao?" There was no response, and Da Zhuang shouted again.

At this time, I heard the footsteps of Xu Yun coming over, and sure enough, his response was heard, "Take her to the medical hall to see me!" ”

"I'm afraid not...... Da Zhuang made a embarrassed voice through the courtyard door.

"Squeak", Xu Yun, who walked to the gate of the courtyard, opened the courtyard door and wondered to Da Zhuang, "Why not?" ”

She ...... She's dead! When Da Zhuang said this, I happened to look over to him, and I saw him with a frightened look, as if Ruan's sister-in-law's death made him feel scared.

But my attention at this time was attracted by his words, he said that Sister-in-law Ruan is dead?!

"How so?" Xu Yun was obviously surprised, it seemed that like me, I didn't expect Sister-in-law Ruan to die.

"I didn't know, but I saw her body hanging on a locust tree outside the stockade, surrounded by a swarm of black moths...... I guess this has nothing to do with Ruan Qing's bastard...... Doctor Zhao, Ruan Qing ...... "Da Zhuang said half of his words, probably seeing that Xu Yun's expression was wrong, he glanced at me, and stopped talking.
