While humming a song while coaxing the little baby in his arms, looking at him in swaddling clothes, Qing Jue's eyes were full of love and reluctance. He was so lovely, so beautiful. The slight gasping sound when you fall asleep is addictive. Qing Jue couldn't help but want to poke his smooth face with his hand, but he was afraid of dirtying his delicate skin. The hand dangling in the air went in and out on the edge of the baby's face and the bed, and went back and forth.

Qing Jue didn't dare to make any sound, for fear of disturbing the baby's dreams.

I really want to stop time, let this moment be a little longer, a little longer.

"In a little while, it's time to go. The cold female voice pulled Qing Jue back to the cruel reality. The voice came from a young woman who looked like she was the same age as Qing Jue. At this time, he was leaning against the wall, holding his arms with both hands, and his face was solemn, it was Lingxi.

"Have you thought it through?" Lingxi asked.

Qing Jue turned around and nodded solemnly at Lingxi.

"Do you have to go?"

"Hmm. ”

Lingxi was obviously a little dissatisfied, and said: "Qingjue, you know, you basically can't come back after you go, even if you don't think about yourself, don't think about your newborn child?"

"Lingxi, I can't leave him alone. Qing Jue replied, her eyes firm.

"You're not here to save him, you're going to die!" you know?" Lingxi was a little angry, "Do you think he would be willing for you to put down the child to save him?

"Let's go, where else can I go?" Qing Jue smiled sadly, "From the day I escaped from the Great Snow Mountain, I knew that there would be this day. I was adrift and homeless. He's a home I've managed to find. Now that you want me to abandon my home, where else can I go?"

"He's your home, isn't this kid your home?"

"No, Lingxi, you don't understand. Qing Jue's eyes were full of despair, "I won't stop, as long as I'm alive for a day, those people will eventually come up, I can protect the baby for a while, I can't protect him for a lifetime, I don't want this child to continue to wander around with his mother after he is born, to hide, to live in a world where there is no light, that kind of taste is not comfortable, don't you know it very well?"

"I" Lingxi was a little speechless, as if she remembered some bad old times.

"Sister Lingxi, I know you feel sorry for me, but as long as you promise to help me, I can have no regrets. The only thing I can count on right now is you. Qing Jue stepped forward and shook Lingxi's hands and said solemnly.

"Of course I, as a sister, will do my best to ask for your request, but if I want to watch you die, I really can't sit idly by. Although you and I are not related by blood, after so many ups and downs, I have long regarded you as a sister. The time I've spent with you has been the happiest I've been in years, I really can't watch you die!"

Qing Jue hugged Lingxi and comforted gently, "I have no family in my life. Except for Brother Hakka and Mu'er, you are my only relative in the world. I have been able to meet you all these years, and I have experienced the kinship and brotherhood of my family. ”

"Don't be sad, don't say that I may not die if I go this time, even if I really die, it can be regarded as what I want. If I can exchange Mu'er for a safe life, I will already be satisfied. ”

"But don't they really know about Mu'er's existence?" Lingxi said with some concern.

"You shouldn't know that Mu'er was born before the full moon, and she has stayed at home and never left the village, if it weren't for Brother Hakka's whereabouts being exposed when she went to the market to buy warm clothes and fabrics for Mu'er, she shouldn't have been discovered. ”

"So you're not sure, right, you're just betting that they don't know about Mu'er's existence, so they can sacrifice themselves in exchange for Mu'er's peace, right?"

"Hmm. Qing Jue nodded. The eyes are determined.

"What if they already knew about Mu'er's existence?"

"If that's the case, it will definitely affect you, then you should leave here quickly and send Mu'er to his father's sect, with Wang Shi here, they shouldn't be able to hurt you." For Brother Hak, it can be regarded as a return to the roots. After that, it depends on Mu'er's own creation. ”

"What do you mean by this, that you really don't know my temper, and if you speak, I will have no reason to excuse myself. My own nephew, isn't it my job as an aunt to protect him?"

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that Brother Hakka himself often says that he wants to go back to the sect to see, and he feels guilty about his master. It's because I've been reluctant to leave this paradise, and now I'm afraid that Brother Ke and I are more than lucky, in this case, it's good to be able to fulfill one of his wishes and let his master see his apprentices. Qing Jue said.

"This is the token of his sect, just a famous brand, since I saw him for the first time that day, for many years, I have not left for a moment. Recalling the old memories, Qing Jue showed a rare smile.

"Except for the tokens, the rest of the stuff is in this package. Qing Jue handed the packed baggage to Lingxi.

"There's a sword in there?" Lingxi wondered.

"Well, it was a gift from the uncle next door to Mu'er a few days ago, and it was just a broken scabbard. ”

"You also take a broken scabbard seriously, Uncle Du next door is afraid that he is old and confused. Celebrate your birthday and send such a thing. Lingxi fiddled carefully, a little disdainful.

"You don't know, Brother Ke and I have been cultivating swords all our lives. The sword is the object of our love. There is a special significance. In addition, although the scabbard is old, the workmanship is very exquisite. When I was in Wen Jingguo, I once saw something similar in the picture album of the pawn shop, and left it for Mu'er, even if he didn't cultivate the sword in the future, it could be regarded as representing his father's sustenance for him. ”

"Well, it's such a big thing, it's weird and heavy. What about the others?"

"This is a belly pocket made for Mu'er, it was just made last night, and it is a little rough. This is the clothes prepared for Mu'er, I don't know how tall he will grow in the future, so I can only make some sizes that a one- or two-year-old child can wear. This is a fragrant hairpin for Mu'er, although he is a boy and can't use it, but this is the only valuable thing on his mother, and it is also a thought to stay by his side in the future. This is"

"This is the talisman jade I gave you! it's our sister jade, what's wrong with you?"

"Yes, it was the talisman jade you gave me, but now I probably can't come back, in that case, it's better to leave it to Mu'er. In this way, if Mu'er can grow up safely in the future, you will not be unaware of it when you see it in the future. ”

"Alas Qingjue, Qingjue, why did this happen to you, why is it now, if Ji Ling hadn't left" Lingxi's voice had long since lost its initial indifference, and the mood fluctuations were very obvious.

"Okay, don't be sad, this is my life, I can't hide, I can't escape. If Brother Hakka and I can save the day this time, I will definitely come back and have a few more drinks with you. Qing Jue smiled, and in a trance, Lingxi seemed to remember the appearance of the first time she met her, the same ice and jade, which was pitiful.
