Chapter 4: Stay

The bone-chilling cold enveloped Luo Ying tightly, and in the darkness she seemed to return to the night when her father was dying. It was a stormy night, my father kept coughing up blood on the bed, his face was like ashes, and my brother knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Lang Zhong, but the other party just shook his head helplessly. The father called the two of them to his side, folded their hands together, and spat out a few words with difficulty, "You must support each other in the future, don't ......"

Before he could finish speaking, his hand hung limply and could not be lifted again.

She looked up at her brother, suddenly, her brother's face gradually blurred, her heart was extremely painful, she had lost her father, no matter what, she couldn't lose her brother again, she tried her best to chase after it, but her body seemed to be frozen by the ice, and she couldn't move.

At this time, a chaotic human voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and she felt a heat in her throat, and she struggled to open her eyes, looking blankly at the busy people around her, and her mind was groggy.

Seeing that she was awake, the maid put down the bowl she had just finished pouring ginger soup into and shouted, "Mama, she's awake!" ”

Luo Ying saw an old woman with a kind face sitting next to her and asked, "How is the girl, I'll go and ask the doctor to come over now!" ”

Luo Ying was stunned for a moment, and those unbearable memories came to her heart with a roar - being coerced in the Splendid Palace, being cornered in the snowy night, being filthy and humiliated, and her brother - she grabbed Mama Li's hand violently and asked eagerly, "Auntie, my brother, how is my brother?" ”

Mama Li looked at her suspiciously, and said, "What brother, you will be alone when my son-in-law brings you back!" ”

Hearing this, Luo Ying was like a lightning strike, she ran off the ground regardless of her weak body, and muttered, "I'm going to find my brother, I'm going to find my brother." ”

Mama Li immediately stopped her and said, "Girl, this winter's river water is life-threatening, and the doctor said that you have to take care of it, or you will sit down and get sick from this cold." ”

But Luo Ying still wanted to get herself, but she really didn't have the strength, and was forcibly put back to bed by the two maids. Knowing that she woke up, Meng Changge had already come over, standing at the door and looking at her, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sneer, he gave Lu Ning a look, and Lu Ning had to walk over.

Luo Ying's face was haggard and his face was gloomy, and she asked him, "Where is my brother?" ”

Lu Ning hesitated for a moment, but still told her, "My son-in-law sent someone to look for you in the river for a long time, but I didn't find your brother. ”

Luo Ying still didn't believe it, and asked, "But I didn't find the body, right?" Can you send someone to look for it again, I'm sure my brother will be fine. ”

Lu Ning showed a look of embarrassment on his face, sighed, and said, "This river is turbulent, and nine out of ten people who drown every year can't find their bodies. We'll keep sending people to look for you, but you should be prepared for that. ”

Seeing the faint light in her eyes suddenly disappear, Lu Ning was a little unbearable, and after thinking about it, he said, "Girl, my son-in-law said that he didn't complete your request, and he won't force you to stay." After recovering from your injuries, you can choose to leave. ”

In an instant, Luo Ying was a little shaken, and I don't know what incense was burning in the room, which slowly drifted into her nose, and she suddenly felt slightly dizzy. She didn't dare to look up - could she really leave? But where can you go after leaving? My brother's life and death are unknown, the thieves outside are eyeing each other, Jinyang City is so big, the world is so big, but there is no place for her.

Luo Ying finally shook her head, which made Lu Ning and Meng Changge at the door a little surprised, and Lu Ning couldn't help but ask her, "Do you really want to stay here?" ”

Luo Ying smiled bitterly, "Can I really choose?" The guy surnamed Zhang thought I was your son-in-law, so he let me go. If I leave here, you should know better than I do what will happen to him! ”

Lu Ning nodded and looked at her with a hint of approval, "You will judge the situation." ”

Luo Ying slowly raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes, "Since you can't help yourself, it's best to be protected by your son!" I just hope that Childe can help find my brother, no matter what the news is, I will accept it. ”

Her words made Meng Changge feel a little moved, but he didn't show it, he threw down a sentence from afar, "Since you want to stay, I will naturally help you!" With that, he turned around and left, Lu Ning thoughtfully took a handkerchief for Luo Ying, and then hurriedly followed.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Luo Ying couldn't hold back anymore and cried bitterly.

Meng Changge heard her cry, and his feet were stunned. Mama Li, who was waiting outside, greeted her and asked tentatively, "Childe, do we really want to keep her?" ”

Meng Changge came back to her senses, "This is her own choice. Mama, take good care of her! ”

At night, the candles are still lit in the study. Slender fingers rubbed an old photo, Meng Changge looked at the woman in the photo with a complicated expression - she was wearing a moon-white blouse, a black knee-length skirt, a bright smile, and her face was five points similar to Luo Ying.

This is also why there are so many beautiful women in the splendid palace, but he was attracted by a little girl serving wine. At this time, Lu Ning walked in and asked, "Childe, just now the government came to report that the commander already knew about the conflict between you and Zhang Shaomin, and said that he would rush over tomorrow!" ”

Meng Changge didn't care, "If he comes, let him come, it's just a little earlier than I expected." With that, he put on his clothes and said, "Lu Ning, you can go with me!" ”

Lu Ning was stunned, not knowing where he was going, but he still followed quickly. The two came to Luo Ying's room, except for one vigil, Mama Li and the other maids had already rested. Meng Changge made a silent gesture and motioned for Lu Ning to wait for him outside.

He pushed open the door, and as soon as he stepped in, he saw Luo Ying sitting up and asked vigilantly, "Who is it?" ”

Meng Changge lit the lamp in the room and raised his eyes to look at her, "It's me!" ”

Luo Ying's eyes were a little more vigilant, and she tightly clutched the quilt covering her body, "Childe, what are you doing with me?" ”

Meng Changge walked over, sat on the stool next to the bed, looked at her cramped and uneasy appearance, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous, and wanted to reach over, but as soon as he touched her skin, he felt cold, and immediately withdrew his hand, and said, "Are you afraid of me?" Don't forget, what you promised me yourself! ”

"I can't forget." Although Luo Ying's tone was softened, her body shrank in unconsciously, "It's just that it's getting late now, so I'll come back tomorrow if I have something!" ”

Meng Changge shook his head and asked her, "Since you have decided to stay, there are some things that you still need to know." I only know that your name is Luo Ying, but I don't know anything else. ”

Luo Ying didn't want to hide it from him, and said 1510, "My name is Luo Ying, and my brother's name is Luo Feng." We are both from Nanping Town, my mother died young, and only my father and brother depend on me for their lives. Three months ago, my father passed away, and my brother took me to Jinyang City to make a living. happened to meet the Splendid Palace recruiting people, so my brother went, and begged Song Sanye to arrange something for me to do too, but I didn't expect ......"

Luo Ying was a little choked, tears appeared in the corners of her eyes, Meng Changge couldn't help but stretch out her hand to wipe her off, but she avoided her. Meng Changge put down his hand a little embarrassed, raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were deep and inquiring, "You and Brother Ling are really in love, but I don't think you look alike, but you are close...... From the same mother? ”
