Since the Liu family settled in Shuozhou, there has never been a precedent for going deep into the Northern Wasteland. The dark green that stretches for thousands of miles in the north and stands against the mountains is like a dark cloud, which has always shrouded the hearts of everyone in the Liu family. Therefore, since Liu Yuelei announced the news of his march into the Northern Wasteland, almost everyone inside and outside the Liu family has been in and out in a hurry, quite busy, and it is rare to see a happy and brisk look.

However, Liu Yuelei didn't seem to care much about the brute ape, and he didn't blame Liu Binyuan too much, maybe he couldn't free his hands and feet to clean him up for a while, but he just ordered Liu Binyuan not to release it out of the ravine, and Liu Binyuan still went to give it food as always, and even named it Gray Hair, just because he was covered in gray and white hair.

Liu Qingxue wanted to go with him, but another thing happened when the Liu family was intensively preparing for the affairs of the Northern Wasteland. For Liu Qingxue, it doesn't matter to her how it compares to the Northern Wasteland.

Mrs. Liu suddenly fainted early this morning, and although she woke up, Liu Yuelei was disturbed by the affairs of Yunzhou, and she had little time to accompany her for a while. Liu Qingxue has always had a poor relationship with her father, so she is even more dissatisfied with him. Liu Binyuan came to visit and made his mother happy, but he still had a big heart, thinking that his mother was fine, so he also slipped out to play again. Whether it was his mother's illness or the mysterious forces in the Northern Wasteland, it was not enough for him to worry. Therefore, the Liu family seems to be the only one who runs in and out all day long, and he doesn't see much worry.

After Mrs. Liu woke up, her originally ruddy face began to gradually show a sallow color, but her body was not weak and weak, and there were no other symptoms, so Mrs. Liu comforted her family and let everyone not worry too much. Liu Qingxue was more careful, but she couldn't find out the cause of this strange symptom, after all, she was really not at ease, and just finished today's homework, she planned to accompany her mother.

When Liu Qingxue entered the house, Mrs. Liu was half-lying on the bed, flipping through a book at random. Liu Qingxue suddenly remembered that when she was young, in addition to the etiquette courses arranged by Liu Yuelei, she also learned literacy and poetry, and her mother was her first teacher, but she later practiced martial arts, and these things were a little wasted. Looking at these things now, my heart is still a little kind.

Mrs. Liu saw Liu Qingxue enter the house, put down the book, and laughed softly: "Xue'er is here, come and sit here." As she spoke, she patted her on the bed.

Liu Qingxue silently approached and sat down, and asked softly: "Mother, are you feeling better?" Mrs. Liu gently patted Liu Qingxue's hand and said with a smile: "It's not in the way, there is nothing uncomfortable about the body, it's just that I can't afford to fight these days, and I can't sleep at night. ”

Mrs. Liu looked up at her daughter's face. Although Liu Qingxue has practiced martial arts for many years and is separated from her father, she is very close to her mother, Mrs. Liu often moves between father and daughter, neither unspeakably against Liu Yuelei's arrangement, nor against Liu Qingxue's martial arts, but has always taught Liu Qingxue to dress up, and occasionally chatted with her about a few words of poetry, writing, and ink.

Mrs. Liu naturally couldn't think of these at this time, looking at her daughter's fair face, she also had a faint sense of accomplishment, and lovingly reached out and touched her cheek: "You look like this, you won't have to worry about finding your husband in the future." ”

Liu Qingxue said with slight annoyance: "Mother, what are you talking nonsense." ”

Mrs. Liu just smiled and asked again, "What about that kid from Binyuan, didn't you come with you?" As she said that, she withdrew her hand, still looking at Liu Qingxue with a loving face.

"He probably went to the brute ape again, and he caused these things, and I didn't see him paying much attention. Liu Qingxue's tone was a little resentful.

"He had just come in the morning, and he giggled and told me about the ape, and though he was noisy, it was more pleasant than my own boredom. But I didn't expect that there was really a barbarian ape clan in the Northern Wasteland, and you were indeed dangerous yesterday, if you meet again in the future, you should stay away and don't mix it up. Mrs. Liu said earnestly.

"In this way, it is very practical for me to practice swordsmanship, right?" Liu Qingxue chuckled.

Mrs. Liu nodded seriously and said, "Naturally, it is useful, if your father knew, he would not have stopped you from practicing swords." ”

Hearing Mrs. Liu mention Liu Yuelei, Liu Qingxue's expression was a little unnatural, and she asked, "What about my father?" she called her father, but her tone was slightly cold.

Mrs. Liu was slightly stunned, sighed, and said, "The affairs of the Northern Wasteland are very important, he is really busy today, and it is impossible for him to come often......"

Liu Qingxue snorted coldly: "The head of the Liu family is naturally busy, and the whole Liu family is counting on him!" Mrs. Liu heard the sarcasm in her tone, and her heart was quite uncomfortable. She sighed and stopped talking. She naturally wants the father and daughter to get back together, but this can't be rushed, not to mention that Liu Qingxue is very repulsive to Liu Yuelei now.

Liu Qingxue's eyes swept over the book that Mrs. Liu was reading, which was a collection of poems. She picked it up and flipped through it at random, and she had a vague impression of some of the poems in it, which she should have read when she was a child, and on the title page of this book, there were four characters written in Juanxiu's small handwriting: "Xia Lan Yu Hide".

She knew that this was her mother's maiden name, but she didn't react for a while. I can't remember anyone calling her name like that.

Mrs. Liu noticed the look on Liu Qingxue's face and asked, "What?"

Liu Qingxue put down the poetry book and smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that my mother's name is so good, but I forgot it a little bit, and I almost didn't remember it." ”

As she spoke, she looked into her mother's eyes and asked thoughtfully, "Doesn't my mother regret it?" Marrying someone is like becoming his vassal, and even the title of others has become Mrs. so-and-so. What's more, this person, knowing that you are unwell, will still ignore you......"

Mrs. Liu and Liu Qingxue looked at each other, and were silent for a moment before replying seriously: "No." Your father treats me well, and I silently support your father behind my back, not because of who is who's vassal, but because we have each other in our hearts. It doesn't matter what people call me or call me. I hope that one day, you will find someone like that. ”

Liu Qingxue showed a mocking smile on her face, and suddenly said, "Father is just afraid that he doesn't think so." His greatest hope for me was to make me the wife of a nobleman. ”

Mrs. Liu wanted to speak and stopped, and for a while she couldn't find the words to defend Liu Yuelei. In the end, she could only sigh: "He is a person who is anxious, and he was really harsh on you when he was a child, and he didn't take into account your feelings, but if you calm down and talk, you may not be able to find a solution for both......"

Liu Qingxue couldn't help but interrupt her: "Needless to say, how he does it is his business, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

The two were silent for a moment, Liu Qingxue looked at her mother's face and was still a little worried, and asked, "Are you really okay?" I see that your face is strange, what does the doctor say?"

Mrs. Liu said: "It's okay, although the doctor didn't find a specific cause, but found that the body's strength and pulse were all fine, presumably it was also a little too old to keep up the spirit, and prescribed a few calming medicines, and it didn't matter." ”

Liu Qingxue heard these words several times today, and she didn't reduce her worries, but in order not to worry her mother, she also made a relaxed appearance and said with a smile: "That's good, you can rest well." One day, I'll bring that kid from Binyuan here to make you happy. ”

Mrs. Liu smiled and was about to say something light, when suddenly a painful look appeared on her face, and the words she wanted to say were suddenly blocked in her mouth. Liu Qingxue had been paying attention to her mother, and when she saw her abnormal expression, she was startled, and hurriedly hugged her mother, and asked repeatedly, "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Liu's face suddenly turned pale, and she couldn't speak, she only waved her hand to Liu Qingxue, Liu Qingxue still didn't understand what she meant, and saw her "wow" and spit out a mouthful of blood. Blood splashed on Liu Qingxue's clothes, but she didn't seem to notice it, she was so frightened that she lost her face, and she was at a loss for a while.

Then, Mrs. Liu vomited out two mouthfuls of blood, Liu Qingxue held her mother's hand but felt a chill at the tentacle, and at first glance, her mother had already fainted.

She finally reacted, turned her head and shouted out the door, "Come on, find a doctor!"
