"Knock knock knock."
There were several knocks on the door.
"Come in." Feng De blinked his eyes quickly several times, blinked away the tears, and shouted loudly.
The door was pushed in from outside.
A heavily armed man pushed the door in from outside and reported to Feng De, "Steward Feng, it's getting late. All the people captured have rushed to the courtyard. Do you want to count them?"
"Okay." Feng De nodded, "Mu Qianchu is among them?"
"We took a quick glance and didn't see Mu Qianchu."
the man replied.
"Damn it! You won't run away!"
Feng De said immediately and hurried out.
This attack was unexpected. If Mu Qianchu escaped to the mysterious core of the Xi family, it would be difficult to catch him.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was sitting alone in a wheelchair, turning to look at the dining table beside her. The lantern on the dining table was emitting a faint light, shining on the colorful gauze, like a colorful bonito swimming.
Lantern Festival.
After all, she and Gong Ou couldn't even spend a New Year and a Lantern Festival together.
…
Late at night.
There was a long red light on the island, and the entire island seemed to turn into a red ocean, and countless lanterns were lit.
The gunshots gradually became less intensive and disappeared.
Shi Xiaonian was lying on the bed alone, with the heater on in the room and a thick quilt covering her body, but she only felt heavy and not warm.
She raised her hand to turn off the light. She watched the room turn into darkness. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
I wish I could never wake up, that would be the most beautiful thing.
suddenly.
A small voice suddenly sounded in the room.
Shi Xiaonian opened her eyes, which were clear in black and white, without any surprise. The next second, she was hugged by someone with the quilt on, and warm breath was caressing her cheek.
A kiss fell on her face.
"Xiao Nian, come with me."
Mu Qianchu lay on the bed and hugged her, breathing heavily.
Shi Xiaonian didn't struggle and let him hold her. She opened her lips and said in a voice like a mosquito, "I know you didn't run away."
She guessed that he might not have escaped, but was hiding in a dark corner.
"Are you willing to talk to me?" Mu Qianchu said in a low voice in the darkness, his voice full of joy, as if he could not see his situation at all.
There are people sent by the Gong family outside.
"You will be rich and prosperous if you escape, but you actually choose to come back."
Shi Xiaonian said in a low voice.
"Because I want you to come with me." Mu Qianchu hugged her and said, holding her up with the quilt. In the darkness, he stared into her eyes, "I'm ready for everything. You come with me. Let’s get out of here and start over.”
Shi Xiaonian was forced to sit on the bed, her voice weak, "Any bump in my body now will kill me."
"The Gong family will kill you if you stay. They are not your guardian angels! They will only make your death worse."
Mu Qianchu said, her voice deliberately lowered, her breath blowing on her face.
The two were extremely close.
Only by being with him did she have a chance of survival.
"I didn't want to live in the first place." Shi Xiaonian said. She was having difficulty speaking and articulating now. "Tell me where Gong Ou's body is."
"Come with me and I'll tell you."
Mu Qianchu said, lifting the quilt and picking her up to leave.
"The only way you can lead me is to die. How do you think your most important assistant was caught?"
Dr. Eyebrow Scar wanted to take her away in order to complete his mission, but he was forced to catch her after being dragged down by her.
She thought he should know better.
Now that he wants her to leave, she will still choose to drag him down.
Hearing this, Mu Qianchu smiled bitterly, "You're right. I have only one way to die, and I will die miserably. The Gong family will kill me with a thousand knives to avenge the loss of their son. So what, I have to die today. I can’t take you away, if you want me to end up like that, I’ll admit it.”
"admit?"
Shi Xiaonian asked back.
"Yes, I will save you, but you want me to die with a lot of holes, I admit it!" Mu Qianchu said, a pair of eyes staring at her aggressively in the darkness.
"Mu Qianchu, how much resentment do you have towards me? I have to bear the burden of your death." Shi Xiaonian said, his voice like a gossamer, "You think I will forgive you if you die with a lot of holes in it." What?"
He counted the death of her parents on her love, the death of Gong Ou on her love, and now he even counts his death on her.
Do you really not want her to feel better
"I don't need your forgiveness, as long as you have a trace of me, Mu Qianchu, on your heart, that's enough!"
Mu Qianchu spoke word by word, and when he finished speaking, he groaned in pain.
A cold light flashed in the darkness.
Warm liquid dripped from his chest and onto his hands.
The smell of blood is strong.
He sat there stiffly, stretched out his hand to touch his chest, held the dagger, followed the blade upward, and then touched Shi Xiaonian's hands.
Her hands tightened around the handle of the dagger.
This blow probably took all her strength.
She hid the dagger under the quilt and was waiting for him here.
"You just want to kill me with your own hands." Cold sweat broke out on Mu Qianchu's face. He smiled bitterly, "It's a pity that you inserted it a little too far and missed the heart. Do you want to do it again?"
He had every chance to escape.
But he couldn't bear to leave her alone. He wanted to take her with him. He thought she would be moved.
It turned out that she would not be moved at all.
She hid the dagger waiting for him to come to her door, waiting for revenge with her own hands.
Shi Xiaonian thought that she was already like a walking corpse, and her heart was as gray as death, but when she heard his voice, her body still trembled.
In the quiet night, there were faint sounds of footsteps outside.
That's someone on patrol.
"Mu Qianchu." Shi Xiaonian used the cold light of the dagger to look at Mu Qianchu's pale face. Her voice was weak and cold, "Go ahead and leave from here. No matter what happens next, you will be riddled with holes." We are still prosperous and wealthy, and we are all in the clear."
"Liangqing?" Mu Qianchu looked at her repeating these two words with some mockery.
"From today onwards, we will end all ties."
When Xiao Nian spoke out, the words were vague and vague, yet so cold.
It was so cold that Mu Qianchu wanted to shiver.
He held the dagger and looked at her steadily, looking at the woman who stabbed him with her own hands.
Seeing that he didn't move, Shi Xiaonian didn't say anything. She pulled away her blood-stained hand and lay down on the bed.
They were clean.
Whether he leaves or stays has nothing to do with her.
The sound of footsteps outside was ever-present, coming and going.
Mu Qianchu covered the wound. The next second, he stiffly got off the bed and stood on the floor. The blood from the wound was seeping more and more.
Shi Xiaonian ignored him.
I don't know if he left or not.
She doesn't care anymore. Now that he is alive, she is too lazy to hate him; now that he is dead, she will not be sad.
"Xiao Nian, tell me, is it because the light is too dark for you to stab correctly, or are you deliberately stabbing away from my heart?"
Mu Qianchu's voice sounded in the room.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was silent and said no more words.
She had nothing left to say to him.
"Answer me as if you were answering my last question." Maybe the next second he leaves, he will be held back with a gun.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian closed her eyes and pursed her lips slightly, without any intention of opening her mouth.
Mu Qianchu smiled bitterly in the darkness.
"It seems that you are planning to leave me a question that I will never be able to answer for the rest of my life, hehe." Mu Qianchu said bitterly, his breath weak, "As expected of Shi Xiaonian, Shi Xiaonian is the best at taking care of and torturing Mu Qianchu. read."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian remained silent, as if she didn't hear what he said at all.
"I'm leaving, Xiaonian." Mu Qianchu said goodbye to her. He couldn't take her away anymore.
He turned around to leave. After taking two silent steps, Mu Qianchu gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and said, "I didn't capture Gong Ou."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes full of shock.
"I just want to see if you will choose to come to me after knowing the news of Gong Ou's death." Mu Qianchu said with some difficulty, "I didn't catch him, he should not be dead, so don't give up on your life .”
“…”
Shi Xiaonian listened blankly. She was weak and tried her best to sit up, "Where is he?"
No one answered her words.
Mu Qianchu had quietly disappeared into her room, leaving only the window half open, letting in the cool night breeze.
Shi Xiaonian looked at the window in disbelief.
Is he lying
Why do you say Gong Ou is not dead yet
Did he really not catch Gong Ou, or did he just want her to live and give her an empty hope
Tell her, tell her!
Tell her where Gong Ou is! Where is he
"boom!"
The door was suddenly pushed open.
"Miss Xi, I'm offended!" Feng De's voice came. The next second, the lights in the room were turned on. Feng De stood there, looking at her nervously, sweating profusely, "Miss Xi, outside your door One of the bodyguards was knocked unconscious and dragged into the next room. Are you okay..."
Before Feng De could say anything, he saw Shi Xiaonian sitting on the bed with a dull look on her face. She was wearing pajamas with most of the blood stains on her pajamas, and her hands were all stained with blood.
"Miss Xi!" Feng De rushed towards her in shock, "What happened? Are you okay? Where are you injured?"
what happen
Mu Qianchu said that he did not arrest Gong Ou, he said that Gong Ou was not dead.
not dead.
"Become a housekeeper." She said in a low voice.
"Yes, I'm here."
Feng De nodded.
"I want to eat." Shi Xiaonian raised his eyes and looked at Feng De, who suddenly became anxious, "Butler Feng, I want to eat, please give me something to eat quickly."
"ah?"
Feng De was dumbfounded. He refused to eat no matter how much he tried to persuade her before, but now he suddenly agreed
"Butler Feng, I want to eat now."
Shi Xiaonian said with some force, but no matter how hard she tried, her voice sounded extremely weak and fragile.
"Oh, okay, I'll get ready right away, just wait." Feng De nodded repeatedly, turned around and ran out.
In the kitchen, Shi Xiaonian was pushed to the dining table by the bodyguard. With weak fingers, she picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful of porridge and put it in her mouth. She couldn't wait to swallow it, then put it out again, and then swallowed it again. (To be continued)
