Chapter Ninety-Six: Kneel and plead
Maizi closed her eyes and fiercely held back the tears that almost burst out of her eyes
Reluctantly pulled away a smile: "Brother Xiao, you and Brother Xu have worked hard for my illness, I am afraid that there will be no retribution in this life."
The smile on Maizi's lips looked so desperate, Xiao Chengyu clenched his fists, and a thick color flashed in his eyes
"Brother Mai Zixiao won't let you have anything to do"
Feeling the cold in Xiao Chengyu's words, Maizi couldn't care less about the sadness, pulled Xiao Chengyu's sleeve and begged: "Brother Xiao was I who insisted on going my own way, and it has nothing to do with him, I beg you not to do anything to Ye Zifan."
Xiao Chengyu's eyes were cold, and a touch of ruthlessness rose on his calm face
"If it weren't for you, he would never have been far away, so far the main discipline cannot be violated, and that person must pay the price he deserves."
Mai Zi's tone was eager: "Brother Xiao, this matter has nothing to do with Ye Zifan, he doesn't know anything"
"Brother Mai Zixiao knows that you have always loved him"
Xiao Chengyu's words were shocked, but the wheat was terrified
I didn't dare to answer in panic, so I looked at Xiao Chengyu in front of me who still had an indifferent expression
"Maizi, don't be afraid, if your illness really can't be cured, Brother Xiao will let him accompany you on the Huangquan Road, and he won't let you go alone."
The gloomy and cold words came into his ears, Mai Zi's eyes widened in shock, and when he reacted, he actually knelt on the ground, holding Xiao Chengyu's clothes tightly with both hands: "Brother Xiao, I beg you to let Ye Zifan go, what happened to him at the beginning, it has nothing to do with him, he doesn't know that Mai Bao is his child, and it is I who steals the birth of the child, and it is I who want to give birth to Mai Bao, and I am not good, I am not good, I don't bear all the punishments, I am alone."
Xiao Chengyu's dark eyes stared at the wheat that was begging on the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "You get up"
"I can't afford it, Brother Xiao, if you don't promise me, I won't get up"
Maizi raised his face and stared at Xiao Chengyu stubbornly
"Brother Xiao, I beg you to let Ye Zifan go, I beg you"
Five years ago, because of Ye Zifan's joke, Mai Zi moved his heart to steal the birth of a child Gu and give birth to a child for the man he loved
Although he knew that the village rules were strict, Maizi, who was carried away by love, still insisted on going his own way
concealed everyone, deceived Xiao Chengyu's trust, and stole the birth Gu
The wheat that succeeded in bearing an offspring did not wait for the man's promise
His belly grew bigger day by day, and he couldn't stay outside, so he could only return to the village in order to give birth to the child smoothly
At that time, Xiao Chengyu knew that Maizi had violated the village rules and told a big lie
Maizi's behavior should have been severely punished, but the legal principle is nothing more than human feelings, and Xiao Chengyu was only a small punishment in the end
Because the Gu worms were not obtained through the normal channel of the village trial, they did not have the essence and blood of their beloved to make medicine, and the Gu worms could not be discharged from the body, even if Xiao Chengyu's medical skills were excellent, he could not do anything after all
Originally, Gu poison would not have occurred so early, Mai Zi was already weak and could not bear the fierceness of the birth Gu, and there were many dangers of forcibly conceiving a child against the sky, and there was a shortage of qi and blood after giving birth, and he worked hard in the future, and he did not take good care of his body, so that the backlash of Gu poison would be accelerated, resulting in an irreparable situation today
Xiao Chengyu looked at the man's stubborn face, silent, and his expression became more and more cold on his frozen handsome face
Seeing that Xiao Chengyu did not agree, Mai Zi was anxious, knelt on his knees and took a few steps, pounced on Xiao Chengyu's legs, and begged: "Brother Xiao, you can't move, Ye Zifan, if I am not here, he will be Mai Bao's only relative in this world, Brother Xiao, you should have gotten the news, Ye Zifan is really good to Mai Bao, if he knows that Mai Bao is his son, he will definitely love him twice......"
Xiao Chengyu flicked his sleeves and interrupted Maizi's words: "Mai Bao, you don't have to worry, I will take good care of him"
"Brother Xiao, I know you will definitely be good to Mai Bao, but Mai Bao needs a father even more, I beg you, I beg you."
As she spoke, Maizi fell to the ground and kowtowed incessantly and begged
It is said that men have gold under their knees
Today, Maizi actually knelt on the ground with dignity for a man who had hurt him, and Xiao Chengyu had nothing but pity in his heart, and he had only doubled his resentment towards that man
"Wheat, you get up," Xiao Chengyu shouted
Maizi didn't say a word, just kept kowtowing, his fair forehead was already bruised, and a slightly oozing blood bead mixed with the sand and stone on the ground stuck to the bruise, which was particularly dazzling
"Is it worth it for a man who once hurt you the most?"
Xiao Chengyu was puzzled, he saw all the love in the world, but he didn't know what love was
Why do people want to give everything for it?
Mai Zi raised his head, his face was already wet, a crystal of tears continued to slide from his eyes, dripping on Xiao Chengyu's white clothes, quickly blending away, forming a pale imprint, the smile on his lips was poignant and beautiful, like a lonely flower swaying in the wind, stubborn, strong and indomitable
"It's worth it to love someone and pay for him, Brother Xiao, when you meet the person you really love, you will understand"
Contempt flashed through his eyes, and the feeling of being desperate for others and irrational seemed to him a joke at all
Although he thought like this in his heart, Maizi's persistence and unyielding deeply shook his heart as cold and hard as steel
There was not much time left for Maizi, so why not fulfill his last wish
The idea germinated in his brain and was ruthlessly stifled by Xiao Chengyu before it grew and took shape
Mai Zi died young, Mai Bao lost his father at a young age, and the initiator of all this was at large, why did he live with impunity
The contradiction for a moment made Xiao Chengyu a little irritable, and said coldly: "Okay, don't talk about it, I won't agree to this."
After speaking, he walked back to the house, closed the door of the bamboo house with a wave of his long sleeves, and ignored the wheat kneeling in the courtyard
Maizi knelt so straight and straight, his expression was resolute, as if he was iron, and Xiao Chengyu did not allow him to give up
The sky is getting dark, and the village outside the bamboo forest is lit up in turn, adding a bit of warmth to Xiao Jing's village
The courtyard shrouded in night is pitch black, a dark bamboo forest barrier isolates the warmth in front of it, the isolated courtyard is cold and quiet, the wind whishes through, blowing the flowers and green grass in the park, and lifts the thin clothes of the lonely figure in the park
But the figure stood like an iron wall, hard and upright
Xiao Chengyu stood in front of the window, looking at the shadows of the trees swaying in the wind, but his mind was tied to the stubborn figure of the man
The hard yellow earth in the courtyard was hard as iron to the knees, and I could endure it for a long time when I knelt at first, and my whole legs were like countless steel needles piercing the flesh, numb and painful
Mai Zi knew that Xiao Chengyu didn't just say that he had already punished Ye Zifan after the incident, and Mai Zi anxiously dragged his body that had not yet healed and returned to Z City, paying close attention to Ye Zifan's movements, for fear that Xiao Chengyu in anger would do something extreme
With all kinds of obstruction and begging Ye Zifan to avoid this catastrophe
Xiao Chengyu didn't make any moves against Ye Zifan, but sent someone to secretly observe his every move
Fortunately, after the two met again, Ye Zifan was very fond of him and did not hurt him, if he still treated him like he did back then, I am afraid that Xiao Chengyu would not be able to tolerate him for so long
But now, the long-suppressed anger in Xiao Chengyu's body has completely exploded after the attack of wheat poison, and in his concept, if he makes a mistake, he will have to pay the corresponding price, like Ye Zifan, a playboy who takes pleasure in playing with other people's feelings, and can't show mercy to his subordinates
Although Mai Zi did not have deep contact with Xiao Chengyu, he knew that he was ruthless in his decisive methods, and his poisonous hair and early death would inevitably aggravate Xiao Chengyu's resentment towards Ye Zifan, if he didn't take advantage of Xiao Chengyu's promise today, how could Mai let go of his heart
Maizi believes that Ye Zifan will treat Mai Bao's son's future well, and he is not worried
He was most worried about Ye Zifan's safety, even if he betrayed and hurt him back then, Maizi didn't hate him
Because the pain lasted for too long, the lower limbs were unconscious, and the heating of the day was carried away by the cold wind, and the temperature plummeted, and the cold air floated from the ground, penetrating through the fibers of the fabric, penetrating into every pore, and the texture went straight into the bone marrow
The coldness of the body, the numbness and soreness of the lower limbs, Maizi gritted his teeth, and barely survived, but the increasingly strong stuffiness in his lungs pressed on his chest, and the pain gradually made Maizi feel suffocated
The figure standing in front of the windowsill of the bamboo house still had an indifferent expression, but his eyes gradually showed irritability
The figure facing the direction of the bamboo forest has turned around at some point, and his eyes have fallen on the thin but extremely tough figure through the window facing the courtyard
The wind swept across the courtyard like a blade, straightened up, and the figure trembled violently, but it only took a moment to recover as before, but it didn't take long for a rapid cough to overflow from the hand that was tightly covering his mouth, and the body that coughed straight for a long time was bowed into a ball, and the figure that was originally immovable was constantly swaying like a lonely leaf in the wind, and fell into a warm embrace at the moment before it collapsed
Maizi saw Xiao Chengyu rushing out of the door, smiled with relief, opened his mouth to say something, and the fragmentary words poured out along with the hot liquid
Xiao ...... Brother Xiao...... You...... You promise me ......"
"Ahem...... cough cough cough ......"
Xiao Chengyu supported Maizi's weak body with one hand, and put the other hand on his wrist, and the pulse from his fingertips was chaotic and weak, Xiao Chengyu's heart was not good, Maizi's Gu poison actually attacked at this time
"Maizi, I'll treat you first, and I'll talk about it later."
Xiao Chengyu said that he was about to pick up Maizi, but Maizi stubbornly clutched his shirt, ignoring the violent cough on his lips and the blood flowing down his lips, and gasped: "Brother Xiao, you promise me, promise me, ...... me"
In the end, it was like a gossamer, blood continued to overflow from his lips, dripping along the corners of his mouth, on the pure white clothes, a little bright red, as bewitching as a red lotus, dazzling, and like a sharp edge, stinging Xiao Chengyu's eyes
"Maizi, I'll talk about it later, Brother Xiao will treat you first"
Xiao Chengyu tried to appease Maizi's emotions, but Maizi was stubborn and had to wait for his promise, although his body was weak and weak, but the hand that held the placket of his clothes was as solid as iron tongs
The two were stalemate for a moment, and under Maizi's firm and persistent eyes, Xiao Chengyu finally lost the battle, and nodded helplessly: "Maizi, I promise you"
There was a hint of joy on Maizi's pale cheeks: "Xiao ...... Brother Xiao...... Thank you ......."
The strong emotions relaxed after getting Xiao Chengyu's promise, and Mai Zi felt that it was dark in front of him, and he fainted
Xiao Chengyu looked at the wheat in his arms, and the smile of relief on his lips suddenly wondered what kind of man could make him pay like this
