Chapter 15: Deterioration of Condition (2)
Maizi wanted to refuse, but in the face of Xu Hongyi's concerned eyes, he still stretched out his hand, and put his big dry hand on his wrist.
Xu Hongyi was shocked in his heart, but he didn't dare to show anything on his face. The priest was right, and the wheat's illness worsened. After so many years of painstaking research and development, he still failed to control the backlash of the Gu poison in Maizi's body. As long as he thought that the man in front of him would soon die, Xu Hongyi's heart was fiercely pinched together.
Mai Zi saw that Xu Hongyi had been silent, and said with some apprehension: "Brother Xu, has my illness worsened?" ”
Xu Hongyi raised his head and met the shining eyes, which were full of life. But this breath will gradually die out in the near future.
No...... He will not allow Maizi to leave him forever, he will not give up as long as there is a glimmer of hope, and he will snatch him back from the clutches of death, no matter what the cost.
Xu Hongyi pretended to be nothing: "It's okay, remember to take medicine on time." Don't think I don't know, you always secretly pour out the medicine. ”
Maizi flattened his mouth in pain: "The medicine is so bitter, how can you drink it!" ”
The expected criticism education did not come, and the big hand that was originally on the wrist held the cool hands tightly. Maizi, who was startled by the dry and hot feeling, raised his head suddenly, and between his eyes, Xu Hongyi's gentle eyes were imprinted in his eyes, and Maizi panicked for a while.
Don't look at him with a face, and struggle gently: "Brother Xu, you ......"
Xu Hongyi pulled violently and narrowed the distance between the two: "Maizi, stay with me!" ”
Mai Zi was startled, and broke away from the arm that was wrapped around him: "Brother Xu, I have always regarded you as a big brother, I ......"
Xu Hongyi's tone was eager: "Maizi, after you are with me, I will be able to pass the trial in the village, and your illness will be cured." ”
Mai Zi's heart warmed, for so many years, he was not a fool, Xu Hongyi was good to him, and he saw it in his eyes. But the heart was already seared with the man's mark. After leaving that person, I wanted to forget about him and start my life again, trying to get everything about him out bit by bit. The heart is already full of devastation, where can I accept the love of others again.
The mass grave in the village was filled with those who failed to pass the trial and died tragically, and they couldn't let Brother Xu take such a risk for their own selfish desires.
Isn't the situation in which we are in today also the result of having to go our own way at the beginning? The choices you make yourself have to bear the corresponding consequences, and you are not a child, you can wait for others to clean up the aftermath if you make a mistake.
Maizi decisively refused: "Brother Xu, thank you for your kindness." But I really can't accept you! ”
"Maizi, after so many years, why can't you accept me and start a new life? If you're afraid I'll treat Mabel badly, I'll promise I'll treat him as my own. ”
"Brother Xu, I didn't mean that. I know you're very kind to Mabel and love him as your own son. But Brother Xu, I don't love you, I can't hurt you for the sake of healing. ”
"What about your illness? Have you ever thought about Mabel? ”
"Back then, I didn't listen to advice and insisted on going my own way, and the cause I planted had to bear the corresponding consequences. Although I did not live to be forty years old, McPet was already an adult by then, and he could live a good life without me. Besides, aren't there still you and Brother Xiao? I'm sure you'll be able to take good care of Mabel! ”
Xu Hongyi's heart was extremely sour, no matter how hard he tried, Maizi still couldn't accept himself after all.
