"I have to deal with the worst." Mu Qianchu's voice was a bit solemn.
Everything here now depends only on him.
Shi Xiaonian stood there quietly and listened. She didn't expect that something would happen to them as soon as Gong Ou left. With so many people and children, she could no longer watch anyone get hurt.
"If it was Lancaster, they should have attacked it long ago." Luo Lie said.
"There is a possibility that they haven't determined our specific location yet, and the firing of the cannons is just a test to make us disrupt our position and expose our flaws to them." came Mu Qianchu's heavy voice.
Shi Xiaonian pursed her lips, this possibility was indeed very high.
"Then how did our location get leaked? No one has ever gone out. They are all keeping an eye on each other. There is not even a signal here. How come Lancaster found the approximate location?" Luo Lie asked.
"I can't figure this out either," Mu Qianchu said, "and this is no longer the most critical thing."
There was no time for them to think about what happened, they could only solve it.
"In this case, is it better for us to take action or not to take action?" Luo Lie asked, "If we don't do anything, what if the other party really comes to attack us?"
As soon as the words fell, the room fell into silence.
Shi Xiaonian didn't know what they were thinking. After a while, Mu Qianchu's voice sounded, "Is Xiaonian's surgery inevitable?"
She stood outside the door and was stunned for a moment, wondering why Mu Qianchu suddenly mentioned her.
"What do you want to say?"
Luo Lie asked.
"If Xiaonian's surgery has to be done, her body will definitely be very weak. Then we can't take any action. We can only waste it here and take it one step at a time." Mu Qianchu said, there is no need to think of any solution. .
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian was stunned and his eyes dimmed.
It turned out that she was dragging people down again without realizing it. It turned out that she really couldn't think about anything and couldn't do anything.
She turned and left.
There are many stars at night, the sky is dark, and there is a hint of coolness in the air.
Shi Xiaonian walked onto the lawn alone in the night, looking at the broken walls from a distance, with a few fireflies flying over there.
The night breeze gradually cooled her skin.
Suddenly, there was a cloak on her shoulders. Shi Xiaonian grabbed the corner of the clothes and was a little stunned. Mu Qianchu's gentle chuckle came to her mind, "How are you? Didn't it fall to the ground?"
His tone in the room was so heavy just now, but now he was relaxed. It was all just to show her off.
When Xiao Nian turned around, the light from the floor lamp was not strong and fell on the two people. Mu Qianchu's silhouette was illuminated by a layer of shadow. His facial features looked particularly three-dimensional. His eyes were long and narrow, and the color of the eyeballs was faint and very light. It's good-looking.
However, his face was also bruised and swollen.
"Your face..." Shi Xiaonian looked at him worriedly, and then said guiltily, "It's all because of me that you are harmed..."
The smile on Mu Qianchu's face deepened, and he pointed to the injury on his face and said, "You won't blame this on you, right? It's me who wants to beat him, it has nothing to do with you."
"But… "
"Is the volcanic eruption related to you? Because you are breathing?" Mu Qianchu said calmly, looking straight ahead with a light smile.
Shi Xiaonian pulled the cloak on her body, "I don't know if the volcanic explosion has anything to do with me, but everyone here is here because of me, and you may be here at any time because of me..."
"Everyone volunteered. Dr. Luo did it because he owed a debt of gratitude, I did it because he felt guilty, and the rest of them paid a high sum of money. Everyone knew that coming here would not be too comfortable, but they all chose to come here. It's not that great. It's all because of you." Mu Qianchu said, "You haven't meant that much to everyone yet."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian stood there and looked at Mu Qianchu. Mu Qianchu didn't look at her, unlike others who always stared at her, as if they wanted to see into her inner thoughts.
His words made her feel at ease inexplicably.
No one had ever said these words to her before. She looked at him and said, "It seems like it's been a long time since I listened to you so well."
She had long been cold towards Mu Qianchu because of her parents' affairs, and now that they were living together under the same roof every day, she didn't really listen to what he said.
She is always trapped in a siege by herself.
"Then are you willing to listen to me now?" Mu Qianchu asked.
Shi Xiaonian thought for a while and said, "I don't hate it."
So honest.
Mu Qianchu laughed softly and said, "Dr. Luo's report said that you were facing it, so you thought of abortion. Are you really facing it?"
"Isn't it?" Shi Xiaonian's eyes dimmed and his voice was low, "I'm looking for a path that's good for everyone."
She doesn't want to hurt anyone.
"Really? Then come with me to prove it."
Mu Qianchu suddenly raised his hand, grabbed her wrist accurately and walked forward on the lawn. Shi Xiaonian looked at him in astonishment, her wrist was clenched tightly, and she could only follow him away.
Mu Qianchu listened to the wind, and then walked towards the dilapidated broken walls. From a distance, Shi Xiaonian saw the childish graffiti under the night.
She subconsciously wanted to escape, "Where are you taking me, Qianchu?"
Shi Xiaonian broke away from his hand, but he held it tighter. Mu Qianchu took her to the broken wall with a rare force, "When you were a child, you would use the right way to express your sadness, which is to paint on the wall. Why do you become less good at painting as you get older?"
“…”
Shi Xiaonian bit her lip.
Mu Qianchu suddenly mentioned her childhood, but she was no longer the Shi Xiaonian she was when she was a child.
Mu Qianchu brought her to a broken wall, which contained random graffiti from her childhood. It seemed that Mu Qianchu was there that time, and he stayed with her until very late.
"You said you were facing it, then why have you never been here after so long?" Mu Qianchu asked.
She explained palely, "I only liked painting when I was a child..."
"If that were the case, Gong Ou wouldn't have gone to all the trouble to move these walls here." Mu Qianchu stood there and said, "He knew you would be sad and asked you to graffiti to relieve it, but you piled up all the sadness in your heart, It just keeps getting bigger and bigger like a snowball.”
“…”
Shi Xiaonian stood there silently.
"Xiao Nian, you were never really facing it, you just closed yourself off." Mu Qianchu said her symptoms word by word.
Shi Xiaonian took a step back, leaned against a wall, and looked at Mu Qianchu blankly.
"Xiao Nian, you have always been brave. You have survived so many things before. There is no reason for you to fail this time." Mu Qianchu said.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian stood there silently, without saying a word.
Only the wind blows at night.
The firefly turned around and flew away.
Not hearing her voice, Mu Qianchu suddenly laughed again, raised his hand to touch the wall in front of him, looked to the side with dull eyes, and said, "Have you forgotten all the sadness in the past? I Let me remind you that I come here often. The graffiti on this side should be from that year when you were scolded by your adoptive father in public. There were so many relatives and friends around, and you just made a little noise while helping to serve food, and he made a noise. You scolded me so much that I didn't even let you eat."
“…”
"Later, you were so sad that you couldn't sleep, so I went to paint with you. You drew a black old witch on the wall. No, it was an old witch man with a pointed nose and black eye holes. It was very scary. But in the end, you I still wrote a sentence at the bottom, Dad, I still love you."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian lowered her eyes. At that time, she was still hoping for family happiness and parental love.
Mu Qianchu touched the paintings on the wall and said, becoming more and more immersed as he talked. He suddenly took a few steps towards her, took her hand and walked aside, "There is also this wall. You painted it in a mess. It was because of your mood at that time. It’s very messy. You see, your drawings before are not as good as now. Your drawings before were so childish.”
“…”
"I also remember the paintings here. There was a time when I went back to Mu's house for the holidays. You were unhappy and went to paint alone. In fact, I was right behind you at the time."
“…”
"Please, Xiaonian, why did you draw me like a clown? Haven't you always said I was good-looking? Why did you draw me so ugly then? Don't say you weren't unhappy because I left." Mu Qianchu said with a smile, stretched out his hand to touch the wall, and talked endlessly.
Shi Xiaonian stood there and looked at the smile on his face, her eyes couldn't help but get wet.
She didn't recall how miserable and strong she was as a child, but the paintings Mu Qianchu pointed out were all wrong. Probably in order to enlighten her, he asked someone to teach him to remember the paintings on the wall, and even walked here over and over again. Location.
But when he brought her over just now, he went around a wall, so all the subsequent paintings were wrong.
He said so much, but none of them matched what he said.
"I have to say that this painting is the best. The little princess in it is really beautiful." Mu Qianchu touched the wall and said.
Shi Xiaonian stood there looking at him like that, her nose felt so sore, she reached out and covered her mouth without making a sound.
"Look, the things you encountered when you were a child were not as troublesome as they are now? But how well did you handle them back then?"
Mu Qianchu said with a smile. He stretched out his leg and kicked it. He didn't hit anything. The smile on his face slowly cooled down. He kept kicking and kicking before he realized that he had completely said Wrong, his face suddenly turned pale, and he stumbled out.
Shi Xiaonian followed.
Mu Qianchu walked along the wall for a long time, and finally found a bag full of spray paint cans on the grass next to the other wall. He picked it up and handed it to her, his smile a little embarrassed and pale, "Didn't you say you are now Have you already faced it? If you can really face everything, vent your inner feelings."
Shi Xiaonian looked at the bag in his hand and his dull eyes, and couldn't help but turn his head, the water in his eyes getting even worse.
"Xiao Nian, you can do it." Mu Qianchu held the bag persistently.
Shi Xiaonian was silent.
"Don't you want to draw? Okay, I'll draw it for you. If you hate yourself the most, how about I draw you like a big witch?" Mu Qianchu said with a smile, picked up a paint can and put it on the spot. After going around a few times, he finally touched a wall to spray, "This is a new wall."
It was obviously a wall with graffiti.
When Xiao Nian wanted to speak, Mu Qianchu had already opened the lid and was about to spray it against the wall, but the nozzle was pointed at herself.
"Qianchu!" Shi Xiaonian finally couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward to hold Mu Qianchu's arm, "Don't do this." (To be continued)
