The candlestick that had been lit in the house had fallen to the ground and was extinguished into darkness. Only the lights in the courtyard can blur through the white window paper and reflect into this room.
Jiang Xuening didn't even know how he got there.
And what kind of strength was supporting her body so that she would not fall down in the middle of her journey.
There was blood on the wound on Daoqin's face, and even his hands were covered with blood, as if he was pressing the wound hard for someone.
The blood tickled from his fingers.
When Jiang Xuening walked past him, the handsome and taciturn young man almost choked up: "I'm slow..."
Jiang Xuening seemed to be inaudible.
She could only see the pool of blood that spread along the cracks of the floor tiles.
In the originally tidy room, almost all the boxes, boxes, books and account books have been turned over, and several account books and a pile of rice paper are scattered everywhere. The concubine of the former Qingyuan uncle's mansion, the girl who had suffered a lot in the past, just like that, with her eyes down, her weak head gently resting on the bottom of Duobaoge, and her delicate cheeks have lost their blood. The ferocious wound on her abdomen that was stabbed from behind was covered by her fingers, but the blood still flowed silently, taking away her little remaining vitality.
how could be
It shouldn't be like this.
Jiang Xuening still remembered the day when she went to the uncle's house in Qingyuan for a banquet, a few vicious old women rushed over from the corridor and chased after her angrily. That tear fell from her large, clear eyes, reminiscent of dew on the tip of a draft.
Cramped, soft, clumsy.
But like that grass, it is insignificant, but it has a tenacious life.
Even if they were caught by the bad guys and pressed hard into the water, they were struggling hard, slapping the lake, splashing ripples, making the water chaotic, and the sky reflected in it wrinkled.
After she saved her, she once misunderstood her, thinking that she was unqualified and did not seek to make progress.
But she gave her a surprise.
On the day she came out of the palace, she held the box containing the silver notes and sachets in front of her with both hands, and looked at her cautiously and hopefully, but she didn't know what kind of turbulence was set off in her heart.
That moment was the real beginning of Jiang Xuening's rebirth.
After leaving the capital for two years, almost all of You Fangyin stayed by her side.
From Shuzhong to Jiangnan.
In the eyes of outsiders, she might be the unfavored concubine of the uncle, the gentle young lady of Ren's salt field, or even the sincere and trustworthy President You of the guild hall, but in her eyes, she will always be that one-strand, A silly girl who digs her heart out for people when she finds it...
Jiang Xuening felt that her body and mind had been divided into two halves at the moment, but it gave her a strange calmness.
She came to her side and knelt gently in the pool of blood.
Then he stretched out his hand to help her cover the wound that was bleeding slowly. There was a kind of dreamy trance in his voice, and he just said: "Fang Yin, Fang Yin. I'm here, I'm fine. They all went to call the doctor, Zhou Qihuang's medical skills are so good, you will be fine."
You Fangyin's eyelashes drooped down, and when she heard the voice, she finally slowly lifted it up.
However, there was a blur in front of him.
Jiang Xuening sat kneeling with her back to the door, her gaze was also dazed, as if her soul had been detained in half by the bottomless abyss and the soul-seeking underworld, and she couldn't see her clearly.
But she could distinguish her voice.
So at this moment, he made an ordinary expression like in the past, as if he was not parting with life and death at this moment, and whispered: "Second girl, you are here."
Jiang Xuening said to her, "Don't talk."
You Fangyin's eyes gradually filled with tears: "Daoqin didn't lie to me. I told him to find you, but I was afraid that he wouldn't listen and went to the doctor, which wasted time and made me not see your face..."
Jiang Xuening's voice was already trembling: "Don't talk..."
Her tears rolled down suddenly, moistening her black eyelashes, revealing an unprecedented sadness: "He took the seal, the owner! He took our seal, the business in Shuzhong and Jiangnan. , something must have gone wrong..."
"Don't say any more!"
At this moment, the fragile calm and calmness that Jiang Xuening had reluctantly accumulated before was finally broken by her clumsy stubbornness and interrupted her loudly. But then, the thin shoulders shook, and the voice seemed to be blocked by something, and it became hoarse.
I don't know if I'm talking to her, or I'm talking to myself.
She repeats it over and over.
"It's alright. How can you be in trouble? Saltworks and the Chamber of Commerce, there are so many people waiting for you, and so much business to do, how can you be in trouble? Be good, don't talk, don't cry, Zhou Qihuang is very Coming soon…”
But as he spoke, his eyes turned red.
Tears fell unexpectedly.
She raised her head as hard as she could, trying to hold them back so she wouldn't look extra weak at a moment like this. However, the impermanent sadness was like the waves on the shore, beating her wave after wave. She is not the stone on the beach, but the injured water bird lying on the stone, constantly being pushed down by the ferocious waves, and completely submerged.
The world seems to have lost its roots.
She couldn't grasp anything, and she couldn't hold anything firmly. In the fight against the turbulent waves again and again, she couldn't get anything, leaving only the blood-stained wings, the broken fingers, and the piles of piles. scars...
Jiang Xuening couldn't help crying, she stretched out her arms and hugged You Fangyin tightly, but only felt the cold chill wrap her around her, making her shiver: "Don't cry, don't cry, I will OK… "
You Fangyin curled her lips into a smile.
Tears were hotter than ever.
He was obviously the one who was about to leave, but instead he became the comforting person, trying to use his weak words to leave behind a little strength: "Fangyin was a mortal person, but it was the girl who saved me and took me from her. He pulled it back from the palace of the King of Hell. For the past few years, Fangyin didn't deserve it. God has mercy on Fangyin to meet you. Girl, don't cry..."
Jiang Xuening burst into tears.
However, You Fangyin seemed to be brought back to the past by her own words.
In her dark past, she had never seen such a bright and beautiful person, nor had she encountered such a bright and clear sky.
"I'm a person who has died once. It doesn't seem to be scary down there. It's just a little dark. I can't see anything, not even black..." You Fangyin raised her finger with some effort, as if she wanted to be in the cold void. In the book, I described something, but it couldn't be broken. "At that time, I seemed to have seen a person who looked like me and kept looking at me. Later, you rescued me from the water, and she disappeared at once. I never... never saw her..."
Her dark eyes reflected the halo on the window paper.
Turning slowly, his eyes fell on Jiang Xuening.
She seemed to have become the helpless and clumsy girl of the past, narrating in a veil-like voice: "It's all my fault that I'm too stupid, you obviously reminded me to beware of him, but I think he saved me..."
Jiang Xuening tightened her hand around her, and held it firmly on her shoulder, but she couldn't hold back the sudden pain in her heart.
Zhou Yinzhi!
If Zhou Yinzhi hadn't been used, she would not have been able to save You Fangyin from being trapped and leave the capital at the beginning; but it is precisely because she saved Zhou Yinzhi that today's You Fangyin would suffer from this murder and calamity!
Destiny went round and round and made a big joke with her!
She choked and said, "No, no, how can you be stupid? You have made such a big business, and you have come to Xinzhou to prepare food and grass. Even a person as powerful as Lu Zhaoyin will be shriveled when he encounters you, Ren Gongzi. Full of praise for you too... not your fault, you are not at fault... no one is better than you..."
The previous pain gradually faded away.
You Fangyin felt that this moment was amazing, as if the whole person was rejuvenated, so she said with a little hope: "Is it better than that person?"
Jiang Xuening looked at her.
There was that kind of dreamlike trance in her eyes: "Sometimes, I feel that you are not looking at me. You are occasionally distracted, as if you have seen someone else through me. I am so afraid, so afraid. , I'm afraid that person will appear and drive me away. I don't know how to calculate, I don't know how to read, I don't know how to do business, and I can't do those calculations. I'm afraid I can't help you, I'm afraid you don't want me, I'm afraid I can't compare to her..."
Jiang Xuening finally froze.
Then tears rained down.
In this life, except for the last time and Xie Wei, she never mentioned anything about the last life. Those are secrets that should be buried in the past. She never thought that when she saw the same face as You Fangyin in the previous life, and remembered You Fangyin in the previous life, someone would find clues from her subtle demeanor.
This miserable girl is so delicate and sensitive, but she silently hides everything.
She remembered the burning oil lamp in the prison.
Think of the outdated ledger under the lamp.
Thinking of the cowardly girl who grew up in the backyard of the uncle's mansion, she suddenly came to tell her one day that she would make a fake marriage with Ren Weizhi, so that she could escape from the capital and devote herself to the open world to do business.
…
Jiang Xuening trembled uncontrollably.
She raised her blood-stained fingers and tried to wipe away the tears from You Fangyin's cheeks, but instead of wiping them off, they left shocking bloodstains on the pallor.
For the first time, she was so helpless.
She hugged the silly girl tightly, like a sinner, choking and repenting to her: "No, no. You are the best. You let me know that I can help others, and I can play against fate. Yes. You let it all start, I didn't save you, you saved me, you are the most benevolent Bodhisattva... God give me another, I don't want it. You are the only Fangyin in the world, the best Fangyin …”
You Fangyin laughed.
It was a smile that was close to contentment and happiness.
In this gloomy and gloomy darkness, there is a kind of radiant brilliance, shining like a scorching sun and a bright moon. But it dimmed in an instant, as if this smile drained the remaining strength in her body and burned the only embers.
At the end of her life, she grabbed her hand hard.
Just like struggling on the lake back then.
She cried: "Girl, I can't bear it, I really want to live..."
However, even the strength of this struggle weakened along with the dim brilliance on her face.
The pool of blood that gathered was still and cold.
Just like the wick of the overturned candlestick has finally gone out, You Fangyin, who once bloomed brilliantly in this world, also went out silently.
Zhou Qihuang came with the medical box. Hearing the movement inside, he did not dare to come in.
Ren Weizhi's screaming voice came from a distance.
Lu Xian approached the door, and when he saw the scene inside, his body swayed, but he was dizzy, and he slowly retreated back step by step.
Jiang Xuening was covered in blood, kneeling in a pool of blood, holding the body that was gradually becoming cold.
All around was silent darkness.
When the wind blows in, it seems that there are 110,000 devils hiding in the darkness, laughing wickedly, mocking the fate that mortals think they can control, but is actually at the mercy of God.
But not reconciled.
So unwilling!
Why!
Why do you want to manipulate me!
That monstrous hatred, piercing her heart, wrapped her sharply, Jiang Xuening shuddered, her eyes red from crying, looking directly at the oppressive darkness above her head, hysterically questioning the void: "I rescued her from her. Yes, why do you want to go back to me? Since you have let her go, how dare you take her away so coldly? Do you want to tell me that if you come back again, nothing will change? I tell you, you are dreaming Unless you kill me together, you will stare at your blind eyes! In this life, I will never—never kneel before you—”
