Fifteen.

In the distance, I saw people coming and going outside Xiaoyu's wing, everyone was in a hurry, their faces were anxious, and a sense of foreboding came to my heart. Walking to the door, I heard the weak gasps of the people in the room, I hurriedly pushed the door in, and saw Xiaoyu slumped on the bed with a pale face, Liu's mother and a mother-in-law on one side stood beside the bed, both of them frowned and looked at Xiaoyu, I looked down with the eyes of the two, and saw that the lower part of Xiaoyu's quilt had been dyed red, and the blood had penetrated the sheets, spreading to the gauze curtain, and even the strings that were silent on the side were more bloody.

I was stunned by the tragic scene in front of me, and even my voice trembled uncontrollably: "This...... What's going on......"

Xiaoyu on the bed saw that it was me, smiled hard, and wanted to speak but was stopped by Liu's mother, who looked at Xiaoyu and said to me: "Xiaoyu and Zhang Shizi's child...... Can't keep it...... Obviously last night was fine, why is it suddenly gone today...... And...... And even Xiaoyu ......"

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu just had a miscarriage! Why did it become like this?!" I grabbed Liu's mother's shoulder excitedly, and my tears had burst into tears.

"I don't know...... The midwife didn't know either...... It's as if this child has taken away all of his mother's energy, Xiaoyu ...... She couldn't stop bleeding......" Liu's mother began to sobble as she spoke, and then she was sad and speechless.

At this time, Xiaoyu raised her hand and waved, signaling Liu's mother and the midwife to go out first, she wanted to talk to me alone, and when only me and her were left in the room, I immediately sat down next to her bed. I cried and looked at her, scolding myself over and over again for being too useless, not being able to dig something out of Zhang Shizi's mouth, and not being able to notice the changes in Xiaoyu's body. At this moment, I didn't know what to say to her, but Xiaoyu spoke first.

"Xiaoqing...... I'm sorry......" Xiaoyu opened her mouth to apologize to me, which caught me off guard, "Actually, I've always been ...... I'm jealous of you...... I am jealous that you are capable, and I am jealous that you can be favored by Zhang Shizi......"

"Don't talk Xiaoyu, I really don't care about this, jealousy is all because of people's competitiveness, and these are not something that people can control. I retorted to her, and I wanted to do my best to show her my reverence and envy for her, so that she would not feel guilty at such times.

"I think that's probably my limit...... I didn't expect to know you...... I really...... I'm very happy" Xiaoyu squeezed out a smile, this smile is not beautiful at all, it looks very bitter, I don't know where this bitterness comes from, probably since the fall of her family, bitterness has slowly eroded her heart. Zhang Shizi ...... When he comes, tell him...... Xiaoyu has no chance with him in this life...... In the next life, Xiaoyu and Gongzi will continue to have a ......"

In the face of this kind of Xiaoyu, I really can't bear to tell her what Zhang Shizi said to me last night, and I decided to rot these words in my stomach and make Zhang Shizi a beautiful fantasy for her. Xiao Yu opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but unexpectedly vomited a pool of blood, I hurriedly helped her up, trying to make her feel better, but I was desperate to find that Xiao Yu Liu frowned, her face was bloodless, and she was already dying.

I still remember the last words she uttered with all her might in my arms – "Be happy." ”

After that, all I can recall are the shrill cries, the sound of rushing and the ethereal requiem.

Huanyu, the first friend I made friends with after I came here, a fireworks Qingqi with a life of ups and downs, disappeared from my arms like this, quietly disappearing as if she had never been.

Sixteen.

I stood outside the Flower Pavilion, looking at the once brightly lit building now full of white tents and white flowers, and my heart was full of all kinds of feelings, and two lines of tears flowed down involuntarily.

Ming Shique on the side also looked at this and said to me: "Is it really good to just take advantage of the chaos like this?"

"Are you redeeming yourself for me?" was already in a bad mood, and when I saw that this stinky Taoist priest didn't mean to comfort me at all, but came to talk to me about morality, I replied to him angrily, and he was speechless after hearing it.

From the moment Xiaoyu died in my arms, I decided to leave here and go to Bohou Mansion to find Zhang Shizi to teach him a lesson, even if I can't teach him a lesson, it's good to scold him for a few words The hatred in my heart is good, I asked Ming Shique to move a female corpse from the suburbs, pretending to be me jumping off the building to commit suicide, and I myself changed back into my previous clothes and jumped out of the side window.

I took one last look at the Flower Pavilion, silently buried the woman called "Xiaoqing" in my heart, and turned around to go to Bohou Mansion, but I was stopped by Ming Shique before I could take a step. I was emotional, slapped his hand hard, and yelled at his face: "Xiaoyu was pregnant with Zhang Chaoji's child, miscarried, and died with him, I went to him to settle accounts, is there any problem?"

"Have you forgotten that there are dangerous demons in Bohou's Mansion?" Ming Shique was unmoved and insisted on not letting me go. I remembered that the previous few times it was my impulse that led to having to let Ming Shique come over to clean up the mess, so I hesitated. Ming Shique saw that I had retreated from my anger a little, so he put down his hand and walked up to me and comforted: "Little demon, I understand your hatred for Zhang Shizi, there are some things...... When there are some things that we are not able to solve, we should let go of the people who can control the matter. ”

"Who can control it?" I felt that Ming Shique seemed to be hinting to me that he was not ready to meddle in this matter again, and I couldn't accept his sudden change of attitude, so I stretched out my fist and slammed it on him in a fit of anger, "Where is this person? Do you just don't want to take care of this matter? Don't you claim to help the people? Are you so worthy of the crown on your head? You ......"

Suddenly, the man in front of me approached me, I felt that I was being swept over, and the breeze in my ears was mixed with the unique freshness of Ming Shique's body - he actually hugged me, and when I came back to my senses, my face was already attached to his strong and broad chest, and my whole body was surrounded by his breath, warm and reassuring.

He was so tall that my head could only reach his neck, and he lowered his head slightly, his chin touched the top of my head, and he couldn't help but trap me in his arms, and I could even feel the world become silent and silent, only the breathing and slight trembling of the man who held me in his arms were exceptionally clear.

"It's my incompetence that I haven't been able to handle this well. Ming Shique spoke first, "Little demon, I apologize to you for this matter, you risked your life to help me inquire about the news and I failed to live up to your hopes, I can't save your best friend's life, if you want to blame me, beat me here, if you want to cry, cry well." "Ming Shique hugged me more and more, I could feel his sad and angry mood, although I can't turn around to look at his face now, but I'm sure that at this moment, the iceberg's face that has not changed for thousands of years must be full of guilt and distress, yes, Ming Shique is an orthodox Taoist priest, when an innocent person is sacrificed, when he can't get rid of the demon, the most uncomfortable thing must be him, there must be a reason why he is not ready to take over this matter, how can I blame him like this.

But when I thought of Xiaoyu's desperate eyes when he was dying and Zhang Shizi's irresponsible words last night, I still had a sour nose after all, and I cried, I want to be here to vent all the grievances I suffered a few days ago, all the unwillingness and all the disappointment in myself through tears, Ming Shiqi is the person who has been with me for the longest time, and I can only unload all my strength in front of him and release myself to the fullest.

I don't know how long I cried in Ming Shique's arms, I gradually lost the strength to cry, I could only sobbed quietly, Ming Shique saw that my emotions were a lot more stable, let go of my arms, and touched my head dotingly:

"Little demon, do you really want to go to Bohou Mansion?"

I didn't expect him to change his mind, and hesitantly asked, "Didn't you say it's dangerous there?"

Ming Shique smiled lightly, the sun shone on this handsome face, as if to melt his coldness, he looked at me, his eyes were firm and resolute:

"I protect you. ”
