When I gently pulled it out of Pei Yuanxiu's hand, I only felt that my fingers were unconscious, and my fingertips were cold. Just as he was about to stand up, he felt dizzy, his eyes were dark, and he almost collapsed.

Yao Lao hurriedly came over and stretched out his hand to support me.

I staggered a step and looked back at him, his face was also a little haggard, and said softly, "Are you tired?" ”

I shook my head silently, looked at him, and then looked at myself, there were a lot of blood stains on my cheeks, and there was a large pile of blood-stained gauze and a basin of blood-red water next to the bed, and there was a thick bloody smell in the room, which almost suffocated.

"Let's go get some rest."

"I'm fine, I've been sitting for a long time, just go out for a walk."

As I spoke, I turned around and prepared to go out, and when I turned my head, I saw that the blue curtain at the door of the inner room had been lifted, and Li'er was standing at the door, looking at this side with wide eyes.

I hurriedly walked over: "Li'er? ”

Her eyes were full of horror, looking at the blood-stained gauze beside the bed, and then at the silent person on the bed, and then raised her head to look at me: "Mother, Daddy, he-"

"He's fine."

I rubbed her heart, slowly squatted down, and said softly, "Daddy has been injured a little and has been cured." ”

The little face seemed to come to life, and there was a sudden brilliance in his eyes: "Really? ”

"How could my mother deceive Li'er?"

"Great!"

She was so happy that she immediately laughed and was about to clap her hands, but I hurriedly stopped her and whispered: "Although Daddy's injury is cured, I still have to rest, don't quarrel with him." ”

When she heard this, she immediately closed her mouth and nodded silently: "Hmm." ”

Seeing that she was rarely so well-behaved, I smiled softly: "Li'er has been worried about Daddy's injury, right?" Woke up so early, didn't you sleep? ”

She lowered her head a little depressedly: "I can't sleep with my son." ”

I kissed her on the forehead gently, and said softly, "Then now that I know that Daddy is fine, should you go in and sleep for a while?" ”

"Okay."

She was obedient, really obediently turned around and went back to the back room, I carefully closed the curtain, and when I looked back, Yao Lao had already packed up the scary gauze and blood, and only Pei Yuanxiu was left in the room lying quietly on the bed, his clothes were cut, and a thick layer of gauze was wrapped around his chest, covering his entire chest, and there was a faint pink on the gauze.

With such a calm scene, people couldn't imagine that in the middle of the night, the blood gushed out, and the scene was extremely dangerous.

Until now, when I think back to that moment, I still feel a little soft.

But, no matter what, I finally survived this deepest, heaviest night.

Looking back, even at that time, Pei Yuanxiu only grabbed my hand hard, didn't hum, didn't even struggle.

I don't know where he got the strength and courage to endure such a test on the verge of life and death, but this test has passed, and a new test is placed in front of me.

The dream I promised him, can I really make that dream come true?

Stretching out my hand to push the door, immediately a cold wind hit, blowing my whole body and mind relaxed, the sky was already bright, the morning light of the oriental dew dew decorated this courtyard that had undergone the test of blood lightly, but also revealed a freshness. The confetti that fell from the fireworks last night were all cleaned up by those attendants, and they didn't forget what they should do on the first day of the new year.

As soon as they saw me go out, they all came forward and saluted me respectfully: "Mrs. Qingying." ”

It seems that they also know that Pei Yuanxiu is safe for the time being, so they are not as nervous as last night, I smiled faintly and said, "You guys clean up the surroundings again, today is the New Year, Gongzi is happy, and I won't blame you." Just a little bit, don't get in the way of other villagers. ”

"Yes."

After listening to my words, it was more like giving them a life amulet, and their faces showed joy, and they turned around happily and went away.

I stood in the courtyard and looked at the eastern sky.

The sun slowly rose, breaking through the clouds, sprinkling thousands of rays of light, I squinted slightly, my vision was a little blurry, I couldn't see the ever-changing clouds, nor could I see the sun that brought warmth and hope, I only saw the halo slowly spreading in front of my eyes, illuminating the land and illuminating me.

It's New Year.

It's New Year......

Whether it's good or bad, after this night, it's all gone.

A qiē, there is a new beginning

And I, am I going to have a new beginning?

But what about the old ones?

No matter what is good, what is bad, what is forgotten, what is unforgettable, is it all like this, overnight, all gone?

On the first day of the new year, Jixiang Village is still very lively.

Although last night, everyone more or less knew that there was a "bloody incident" in my yard, but after one night, it was calm again, and those attendants were still busy inside and out, even more lively than nothing happened, and the homes that had spent the New Year in peace and quiet.

The surroundings have become more and more lively.

I even heard that many villagers came to visit other homes to pay New Year's greetings, and everyone greeted each other loudly, saluted each other, and was very affectionate.

It was only after the end of the day that there was a soft knock on the door of my courtyard.

When I opened the door, I saw that it was Ruxiang, Gou Er, and the second brother of the Zhao family coming to the door.

They seemed to hesitate a little when they knocked on the door, for fear that there would be something inside, but when they saw that I had opened the door in person, they were all relieved, and Rue Xiang hurriedly smiled: "Boss, I'm here to greet you for the New Year." ”

I laughed and said, "Thank you, thank you." ”

Although I said that, I don't think they want to come in and sit, and at my house, Pei Yuanxiu is still lying on the bed and falling asleep, and if I really want them to enter the door, I don't know where to sit. He said apologetically: "There is still some mess in the house......"

"No, no, you're welcome."

Rue Xiang said this, looked at my pale face and slightly darkened eyes, and said softly: "It's you, why are you so haggard?" The eyes are swollen. ”

"I ......"

"Light, last night, in your yard—"

Seeing that she wanted to speak and stopped, I smiled lightly and said, "It's a little unexpected, but don't worry, it's okay." ”

"Oh, that's good."

Hearing me say this, Rue Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, she was worried that I would get into some trouble, but Second Brother Zhao looked at me, and then at the hidden door behind me, and finally said uneasily: "Light girl, what kind of guest are you here?" So big? ”

I hesitated for a moment and said, "Second brother, don't mind, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that it's hard to say." ”

Rue Xiang hurriedly grabbed the conversation and said, "As long as you're okay, we'll rest assured." ”

My heart warmed and I said, "Hmm." ”

After a few more small talks, they were about to say goodbye and leave, when I suddenly stopped Rue: "Ruexiang! ”

She looked back at me, "Huh? What's up? ”

I looked at her, hesitated a little in my heart, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Forget it, let's talk about it after a few days." ”

She gave me a puzzled look, but nodded quickly, "Hmm." If you have anything you can help with, just come to me. ”

"Okay."

After Rue Xiang and the others left, no one came to visit the New Year.

Of course, I also know that when this kind of bloody thing happens, everyone has some scruples, it is the first day of the new year, fortunately, Yao Lao and they are here, plus those attendants, there are a lot of people.

Su Su got up a little later than usual, probably because she didn't sleep well last night, and when she came out to see the situation in the house, she didn't ask a word, but went to the kitchen to prepare the meal, and the maids also obediently went over to help her, and after a while, the small courtyard wafted out the tempting smell of food.

Li'er almost didn't sleep last night, and after knowing that Pei Yuanxiu was okay in the morning, she went back to sleep with confidence, and didn't wake up until noon, so she had no choice but to drag her up, this girl rubbed a pair of red eyes, and stumbled out, but she threw herself next to Pei Yuanxiu's bed first, and looked at the still pale face carefully.

I walked over and was about to take her hand, when I heard Li'er whisper, "Mother, when will Daddy wake up?" ”

I picked her up and walked out, and said, "Daddy's wound is still painful, and it doesn't hurt so much when you fall asleep, if you wake up, it will hurt, do you want Daddy to wake up?" ”

She immediately shook her head vigorously.

I smiled and kissed her fleshy face and took her to wash.

After grooming, it was just noon, Su Su they also made a meal, of course the family can not set a table to eat, fortunately there is a big yard, and the winter in the south of the Yangtze River is only cool, but not as cold and windy as the north, you can also eat outside the house, we set up three or four tables, said that the lively is not lively, so it is a New Year.

Before sitting down to eat, I went back to the house to take a look at Pei Yuanxiu.

He slept deeply, but his snort was so weak that he could barely feel it if it wasn't too close. Yao Lao said that it was because the arrow hurt the inside, and it would take a while to recover, but he had a good foundation and recovered quickly, and he should wake up in a few hours.

But when I got out of bed, it was a few days later.

In the next time, you need to take care of yourself.

After making sure he was sleeping soundly, I gently closed the table, and just as they had already brought their meals to the table, I walked over and sat down. There are a lot of dishes, except for yesterday's, she fried some fresh vegetables, which is enough to clear the greasy stomach after eating and drinking.

It's just that this meal was too quiet.

After all, Pei Yuanxiu was still seriously injured and resting, and those attendants were still substitutes in the end, they were all cautious, no one dared to speak during the banquet, Li'er and I, as well as Yao Lao's mood was a little heavy, and I couldn't be happy, so although there were many people at the dinner table, there was no laughter or laughter, only the sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding, it seemed that this year was a little deserted.

In the silence, I suddenly heard a chaotic sound of footsteps, from far and near, and finally walked outside my yard, and immediately heard someone knocking on the door.

The force is not small, as if the person who came has a lot of anger.

Everyone was shocked, Su Su hurriedly went over to open the door, I thought about it, stopped her, and said, "I'll come." ”

With that, I walked over and opened the courtyard door.

As soon as he opened the door, he heard an angry reprimand: "Yue Qingying, you slut." ”

With that shout, a hand was raised high and slapped towards my face.
