A warm ray of sunlight suddenly shone on the earth from the edge of the east, like a crack in a dark eggshell that had suddenly been knocked out of the outside.

Shen Youqiu sat in the snow, looking at the small tombstone in front of him, his eyes were already red and swollen.

A moment before dawn, Mingyue slept forever in the darkness.

"It's fine."

Qi Jingxing stood behind her, gently touched her head, and comforted her in a low voice, "Mingyue, he has never felt the beauty and gentleness of this world since he was a child, maybe for him, leaving this world is also a relief."

"Maybe."

Shen Youqiu looked up at the brightness in the distance, and said as if talking to himself: "I haven't seen such a beautiful morning sun for a long time, seeing this kind of light, even if I stay in the snow, I feel warm all over."

"But Mingyue, he stayed in the cold underground, and he couldn't see the sun anymore."

"But you saw the sun for him."

Qi Jingxing said slowly: "He has nothing to worry about in this life, the only thing that makes him worry is your family, as long as you live well, he will be happy even if he lies in the cold underground."

"You're right."

Shen Youqiu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his tone became firm, "I have to live well, otherwise, I'm sorry for him."

"Hmm."

Qi Jingxing touched her head and hugged her in his arms, and the two snuggled in the snow for a long time.

"I've got to rush back."

Qi Jingxing suddenly said softly: "This time I went back to the capital, I came back secretly, if the imperial court finds out that I left my post without permission, the consequences will be unimaginable."

He looked at Shen Youqiu, the tip of his thumb gently groped her flushed cheeks, and said softly, "Wait for me, okay? When I come back, I will solve all the problems completely, and I will not let Mingyue die in vain."

Shen Youqiu was stunned, looked at him fixedly for a while, but brushed off the broken hair on his forehead for him, and wiped some of the wind and snow off his head and shoulders for him, and then said with a smile: "Okay, you go early and come back early, I'll wait for you."

"I'll send you back."

Seeing her smile like this, Qi Jingxing's heart felt indescribably sour and distressed.

This kind of strength, he would rather his beloved woman never have.

"No need." Shen Youqiu glanced back at the small tombstone and said; "I have to remember this road, so go back by yourself, you go back early, so as not to cause any problems."

"Okay."

The two stood in the snow and looked at each other speechlessly, and after waiting for a while, Shen Youqiu took the initiative to take a step back, and said with a smile: "You go quickly, don't grind, it's even more grinding than a woman like me."

"Let's go!"

"Then I'm leaving."

"Hmm."

"Take care of yourself until I come back."

"You also have to take care of yourself, you must come back safely, remember, safety is the most important thing, I am waiting for you at home."

"Okay."

In the snow, the gray figure slowly disappeared into the sky, which was the direction of the rising sun.

Shen Youqiu looked at it for a while, and then turned his head to look at the small tombstone, which was engraved with "Shen Yuxin, son of the Mo family, brother of Shen Youqiu, Shen Mingyue."

"Mingyue, sister will come to see you next time."

With that, she turned and walked in the direction of home.

It was a suburb, and on the way back, she passed two small villages, which were dead silent.

After so many days of snowdrifting, the sun came out again this morning, and it was obviously starting to warm up, but the people in these houses could not still see the sun today.

"It's really impermanent."

She sighed softly, and instead of slowing down, she walked quickly towards the city gate, and when she reached the city gate, she couldn't help frowning at the sight in front of her.

A large crowd of victims crowded the city gates, each of them wearing thick tattered clothes, like

It was wrapped into a huge sphere, and if you looked closely, everyone had yellow faces and thin muscles, and there were women in the crowd holding the child, but the child was too quiet, his face was too pale, and even a little blue, which made people wonder if the child was still alive.

They were like a bunch of mud, blocking the gates completely.

Normally, the city gate would have been opened at this time, but today it has not been opened, and the reason is obvious. Chinese Net

Just as Shen Youqiu hesitated, a slight voice came from behind her.

"Master, let's go directly through the city wall, I'll take you there, besides, you don't need to be too sympathetic to these people, life and death are fateful, many things, if you don't have enough ability, but you have to meddle at will, it will not end too well."

"I know."

Shen Youqiu nodded, "Let's pass by."

Feng Yi is the secret guard given to her by Qi Jingxing, and she will really serve her as the master in the future, and she has nothing to do with Qi Jingxing.

Back in the courtyard, Shen Yuxin and Mo Shi hadn't woken up yet.

Shen Youqiu returned to the room and sat in front of the window, wanting to take a nap, but she couldn't sleep, she could only silently look at the snow outside the window, and she couldn't help but think of the scene where Shen Mingyue took her to feel the temperature and touch of the snow up close for the first time.

Just looking at the snow, she leaned against the table and fell asleep before she knew it.

"Bang bang."

She was awakened by the sound of a knock on the door.

"Yooqiu, haven't you gotten up yet? It's late, and if you don't get up again, the food will be cold."

"I'm up, mother."

She answered, got up from the chair, shook her numb arm, and hurried to open the door, and Moh's voice came from outside the door.

"What's wrong with you and Mingyue today, both of them got up so late, why, last night-"

The moment he saw Shen Youqiu's face, Mo's voice stopped abruptly.

"What's wrong with you, Yoqiu, why are your eyes so red and swollen?" Mo's face was worried, and he couldn't help but touch her eyes with his hand, "I didn't sleep last night."

"Maybe I didn't sleep."

Shen Youqiu said vaguely: "It seems that I am a little angry, my eyes are not very comfortable, I didn't sleep well at night, and I had nightmares all night."

"Ouch, how can this be, the party mother will go and get some medicine for you, now eat something first, don't go hungry."

She wiped her hands with her apron, and then turned around and walked to Shen Mingyue's room, "I still have to go to see what's going on with Mingyue, I haven't gotten up for a long time, this kid is really, he's been getting lazy lately......

"Mother!"

Shen Youqiu endured the sour feeling of his nose and the urge to choke and stopped Mo, "Mother, don't call Mingyue anymore."

"What's wrong?"

Mo Shi turned his head and looked puzzled, "Why don't you call him?"

"He, he's not home right now." Shen Youqiu's voice lowered, "Well, he's not at home now."
