Qianmu Village outside Shangjing.
The tailors in Dongyun Buzhuang took turns to rest, and this day happened to be Qian Yixiu's turn.
What Qian Yixiu did in the first place was a momentary hit, but she really liked the job of sewing.
Qian Yixiu loves beauty, loves new clothes, and can cut out the style of clothes she loves. She feels that these days, she lives in a honeypot every day.
She couldn't quite remember her ex-husband and mother-in-law.
Her clothes are also selling well in Dongyun, and she can get a lot of silver every month.
Qian Yixiu came home in the evening with a large bag and a small bag.
I saw the snacks she bought and the new clothes she bought for her parents.
Aunt Qian couldn't help but nag: "You, you, come back when you come back, what do you buy these for? You can also make these dim sum, and you don't need money to buy them!"
Qian Yixiu took the mirror that Mianqinglian gave her, and looked at the beautiful beads on her headdress and said, "That's different, this is Zuixinlou's pastry, it's much better than yours!"
Father Qian was smoking the cigarette that Qian Yixiu bought for him, and couldn't help scolding: "You little girl, keep the money in your hand! How much can you have left when you spend it like this?"
Qian Yixiu thought for a while, took out a money bag from her arms, and handed it to Aunt Qian: "Mother, this is for you."
Dad Qian and Aunt Qian looked at each other.
In the past ten years, every time they gave money to Qian Yixiu.
And this is the first time that Qian Yixiu has sent money home.
Qian Yixiu was a little proud: "Every time you say I'm not as good as my brother. How about it, I gave more than him this time?"
Aunt Qian smiled helplessly. She put the money in her arms and thought about it, "Mother save it for you first."
Qian Yixiu didn't take it to heart. The family ate dinner and fell asleep soon after, until it rained outside.
The Qian family's small house was built by Father Qian himself by cutting wood and plastering the walls. After more than 20 years, it has been exposed to the wind and the sun, and it leaks when it rains.
Father Qian and Aunt Qian had a light sleep, and when they heard the sound of rain, they got up from the bed and took a few wooden basins and put them all in the place where the rain was leaking.
After putting it away, the couple lost sleep.
Drops of rain fell into the tub, making a tick-tock sound.
Aunt Qian looked out, with a worried look on her face, "I don't know how Ning'er is, but you can eat well and sleep well in the army."
Father Qian was smoking a cigarette, his face was silent, and after a while he said, "It's useless for me to be a father."
Otherwise, his son would never have joined the army.
"Stop talking, just go to sleep." Aunt Qian hunched her back, put her left hand on her waist, and tapped her right hand on her waist, and staggered back into the house.
*
Xuezhu followed Soul Chasing Worm and found the lair of Beishan Sword Sect.
Wu Weian and the others took people to contain them.
Ji Yunxi sat on the ground in the carriage holding her knees, looking at Baofu lying quietly above.
She watched for a long time, a long time.
In the end, she didn't protect Baofu.
Ji Yunxi closed his eyes.
After an unknown time, the sound of rain falling on the oil-paper umbrella got closer and closer, and then stopped in front of the car.
The umbrella was put away, the curtain of the car was lifted, and one person climbed up with the cold air all over him.
He glanced at the person who was sitting motionless in the dark, said nothing, and lay down on the place where he lay a few days ago.
And now Baofu is lying in the same place where Ji Yunxi slept before.
After a while, Ji Yunxi asked, "How?"
In the darkness, Ji Yunxi's voice was still clear and calm.
From Baofu's death to now, she has never shed a single tear.
Wu Weian propped his right hand behind his head, lying flat and looking at the roof above: "It's all settled, the others are counting the casualties, so I'll be back first."
Ji Yunxi: "Yes."
Wu Weian turned to look at her: "What were you thinking just now?"
Ji Yunxi clenched her hands tightly around her knees, and said softly, "I'm thinking, I'm actually really selfish."
"Qinghe County and his party, I put the safety of several brothers first, then the prince, after the prince, myself, and finally you."
Wu Weian raised his eyebrows gently: "Oh? There is still me?"
This surprised him.
Ji Yunxi smiled bitterly: "Yes, both of you. But there is no Baofu."
She put her hands on her head: "When I brought Baofu back, I said I wanted to protect her. But I didn't do it. Baofu has never been the first in my heart. I have a brother in my heart, and I have peace and wealth in the future. I myself, even you and I have taken into account. But only Baofu, I did not think too much for her. But I am the first in Baofu's heart. "
How unfair this is.
Just in front of Baofu's body, Ji Yunxi thought back and forth about the events of these days, back and forth to analyze herself.
She is selfish throughout.
Back then, Baofu was brought back because she saw herself in Baofu.
Baofu and her previous life have similar family backgrounds.
They are all children who are not loved by their parents, and they are all children who will be beaten and scolded at home for not taking good care of their younger brother.
But she and Baofu have completely different personalities.
Ji Yunxi has been patient, enduring his own emotions, anger and sorrow, until he is full of wings, and then quietly leaves. She will not look back, and even after she became famous, she never thought of going back to take revenge and make her family regret it.
But Baofu has always been outspoken, and her joy and anger have never been concealed. In the first year that Ji Yunxi brought Baofu home, Baofu brought a large group of people back to the former home. After a good freshman year, he also sent people to the house every few days to find fault, and forced her father The mother's family was forced to fly away.
Such a person.
Love and hate are clear, unlike her.
But what made Ji Yunxi uncomfortable the most was.
Even so, to this day, the order in her heart will not change.
Baofu will never be the top of her mind.
If she didn't extend her hand and bring Baofu back to Ji's house, would Baofu have another ending
Will Baofu still be alive, in a certain place, with both children and happiness
"I seem to be wrong." Ji Yunxi muttered to himself, "I seem to be wrong."
The Ji Yunxi in the previous life is somewhat different from the Ji Yunxi in this life.
Because of his family background since he was a child, and some betrayals he encountered in the business world, Ji Yunxi only used interests to weigh his interests.
Don't talk about human feelings, and never show compassion.
Even if he met a girl with similar experience to her, Ji Yunxi would never support her.
She is business-like, nothing to do with herself, and hangs high.
After Ji Yunxi did this, no one could hurt her again, she was able to be invincible in the investment world, and her worth rose.
She has a lot of money. She has a bunch of real estate certificates locked in the safe at home. She can eat whatever she wants. If she wants to go to a certain country immediately, she can immediately book a plane ticket.
The first few years were indeed okay, but gradually, Ji Yunxi became unhappy at all.
The numbers on the bank/bank/card can make her full of fighting spirit at first, but after a certain amount, they only become a series of numbers, which can no longer cause her heart to fluctuate too much.
She looked at the world with cold eyes, only to find it meaningless.
Day by day, yesterday, today and tomorrow seem to be no different.
The psychiatrist asked her to make some friends and fall in love.
But the people who want to make friends with her are all for her identity.
What's more, about love
The relationship between people is essentially the embodiment of interests.
You have money, looks, and emotional intelligence. You can make me happy and beneficial to me, so I like you.
You have no money, no looks and no emotional intelligence. It makes me unhappy and doesn't benefit me, so I don't like you.
Ji Yunxi thought that she had seen through the world.
She was a little disappointed.
The turn of events was an earthquake.
If the company wants to donate materials, Ji Yunxi needs to go through the scene.
Ji Yunxi went, she planned to show up and go straight home, but she saw some people and some things.
People are really weird.
When life and death are safe and time is safe, they fight within each other and compete for fame and fortune.
When faced with life and death, they can stand together.
At this time, the formula of interest can no longer provide an answer.
She looked at the devastated place, and saw the new life and the endless life.
The world is not that good, and it seems that it is not that bad.
Ji Yunxi became a volunteer, learned first aid methods, and helped with some trauma.
She was rescued by aftershocks.
In the end, she also saved one person and died under the collapsed building.
Then, she opened her eyes and appeared in her mother's warm womb, becoming the Ji Yunxi of this lifetime.
She has become much softer than in her previous life.
She is also lucky. In this life, she has a pair of very good parents and very good brothers.
She began to have some compassion, and no longer stood idly by as in her previous life, she stretched out her hand and pulled some people.
Baofu is, Tang Hu is, 'Fang Yuan' is...
And her life is still three meals a day, as if it is no different from her previous life, but it is completely different.
Even if you are huddled at home, it seems that life is very interesting.
She no longer had the thoughts she had in her previous life.
That's why Ji Yunxi told Wu Weian that night when he came to Qinghe County.
Not to save them, but to save myself.
But is she really doing it right
If she hadn't extended her hand to Baofu, would Baofu have a different ending
Wu Weian just listened quietly.
From his point of view, if it wasn't for Ji Yunxi, there would be no treasure.
If she is really selfish, the number one in her heart will only be herself.
Just like him, he used to be himself.
Wu Weian, who is far away from Shangjing's father, doesn't care much about the safety of the other party.
No longer a child, no matter who they are, they must have the ability to protect themselves.
After all, who can protect whom for a lifetime
But Wu Weian never said anything to explain her.
For people like them, the explanations of others are useless, only they can figure it out by themselves.
And she can definitely figure it out.
He just needs to listen.
Ji Yunxi rubbed his temples, suppressed his messy thoughts, and said to him, "You forget what I said to you that night."
Wu Weian: "What about saving yourself?"
Ji Yunxi: "Yes."
Wu Weian's left leg was slightly bent, and his right leg was lightly placed on top of his left leg, swaying for a while: "I have a good memory, I can forget it if you don't say it."
Ji Yunxi: "..."
Wu Weian: "And I probably figured it out."
Ji Yunxi moved her slightly numb leg, and pulled the corner of her mouth: "This may be a wrong sentence, how do you figure it out?"
Wu Weian glanced at her: "Figure out what you meant that night."
Ji Yunxi paused.
That night, she never doubted the right or wrong of this sentence.
Wu Weian was slightly silent.
He remembered the old woman that day.
The peaceful face before his death was always clear in his mind.
He didn't feel much moved in his heart. Looking at the tragic situation under the torrential flood, Wu Weian still didn't feel much in his heart.
But the moment he stretched out his hand to the people, he couldn't stretch it back.
Even if there is still not much feeling in his heart, even if he can't empathize with these people, he can't reach it back.
It seems that his hand already has some ideas, and there will be some chess games in the future, and he will not be able to play.
Just like the game of chess played by the emperor through the flood this time, Wu Weixin appreciated it.
Go with the flow, take advantage of it.
If it was before, he could play this chess, and he would play it.
But from now on, he can't and won't.
Wu Weian: "Before you said this to me that night, there was one thing I couldn't understand."
Ji Yunxi looked at him: "What?"
Wu Weian hooked the corner of his lower lip: "Do you know where my golden toad poison comes from?"
Ji Yunxi shook his head.
She had never asked this question, but it should be related to the Holy One.
Everything Wu Weian planned over the years was to avenge the emperor.
She didn't forget that this golden toad poison was the unique secret of the fifth prince's biological mother, Concubine Zhen.
Wu Wei settled down for a long time before slowly opening his mouth: "Brought from my mother's womb."
Ji Yunxi was slightly surprised.
"The palace lord of Xuanbing Palace was very close to Sheng Shang and Concubine Zhen for some time, but because of conflicts of interest, she got caught in the Golden Toad Gu. Qin Lao and the master of the poisonous lady and the palace lord. They are good friends, the two of them tried all kinds of methods to detoxify the palace master, and finally Qin Lao thought of one, transferring the Golden Toad Gu through the fetus."
Wu Weian's tone was light, and the toes of his right leg above his left leg swayed slightly, as if he was telling Ji Yunxi about other people's affairs.
"The palace lord of Xuanbing Palace is not an ordinary woman, even if she agrees. She specially chose a man with a plain appearance, and she got pregnant with him smoothly. The man does not have the good looks she loves, and she will not give birth to a child. She was reluctant. But she changed her mind before cutting the umbilical cord on the day of the baby's delivery."
The three guardians of the old Qin said that his temperament is very similar to this palace lord, and he is naturally cold and affectionate.
That being the case.
Wu Weian shrugged gently: "I've always wondered, how could she change her mind?"
He was not from the man she loved.
He was just her detoxification tool.
Why bother
Why would you be reluctant
But now, Wu Weian understood.
Just like the hand he stretched out, it is difficult to take it back.
The child she gave birth, when she was born, when she heard that cry, it was very difficult to end the child's life.
Human nature cannot be tempted.
You think you will definitely be reluctant to give up, but the result of the trial may be able to give up.
You think that you will definitely be willing, but the result of the trial may be the same.
reluctant.
Wu Weian sat up and looked at her sitting on the ground with her knees in her arms.
If it weren't for Ji Yunxi, he might never understand it for the rest of his life.
Because if his temperament and hers were really similar, he would definitely not make the same choice as her.
But now, Wu Weian is not so sure.
Wu Weian whispered, "Should I say thank you to you?"
Ji Yunxi hummed, "You're welcome."
Wu Weian smiled and stood up: "You sleep with me for a while, they seem to be back, I'll go down and have a look."
*
It was getting brighter outside.
Ji Yunxi didn't move or sleep, she still sat there.
There was a hustle and bustle outside, and the voices of Ji Jiajun's low-volume conversation sounded from time to time.
Ji Yunxi looked at Baofu, tucked the quilt for her again, then lifted the curtain of the car and walked out.
She looked up at the still cloudy sky.
In the rainy air, there is the smell of moist soil and a faint smell of blood.
Yesterday, they went to besiege the Beishan Sword Sect, and the Bei Shan Sword Sect was completely wiped out, but the Ji Family Army also sacrificed a lot of people.
At this moment, the corpses were carried back by the comrades and placed in the corner of the mine.
When Ji Yunxi entered, the crown prince stood there, staring at one of them.
Ji Yunxi walked over subconsciously: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
The crown prince looked up at Ji Yunxi, smiled reluctantly, and pointed at the man he had been looking at for a while: "Is this the soldier who came first with the banner of the Ji family army that day?"
Ji Yunxi's eyes fell on that young face.
In the rain that day, he took the lead and flew with the flag, what a valiant and heroic appearance.
Ji Yunxi replied, "Yes."
She paused, then said, "His Royal Highness, his name is Qian Yining."
The prince was stunned: "How did Yunxi know?"
Ji Yunxi's eyes were sad, with Qian Yining's face showing, she saw Qian Yixiu and the old couple from Qian Mu Village, who she had visited in person.
Before the visit, Ji Yunxi checked the Qian family and knew that the family's youngest son was a soldier in her second brother's army.
"He is Qian Yixiu's younger brother. The name is very similar. I heard someone call him that by chance a few days ago, so I remembered it."
The prince snorted, and after asking who Qian Yixiu was, he pointed to a corpse next to him: "What about him? I remember that he seemed to have guarded the mine for a day."
Ji Yunxi recognized it for a long time and said, "Your Highness, I don't know."
She slowly looked at the people who were sleeping in this place, and said softly, "His Royal Highness, except for Qian Yining, I don't know them."
Ji Yunxi raised her eyes and looked at the people walking around.
On the side, Xuezhu wearing a black eyepatch, and Wanxiang, who was still in a hurry, kept passing by.
They were all saddened by Baofu's death, but these people who were lying here, who they didn't know well, although they grieved in their hearts, were not in such pain.
Ji Yunxi did the same.
She still had a hard time accepting Baofu's departure, but she felt more pity for Qian Yining, the only one she knew.
And other people who don't know their names, even the pity is a little less.
But what about the Qian family
What about the families of those who don't even know their names
After yesterday's incident, Ji Yunxi kept thinking.
Why Baofu
Why is it Baofu
But the knife goes down to one place, and there is always someone below.
It's not him, it's her.
And whether he is good or she is, they are all treasures in the minds of some people.
Under the sword, under the flood, there will always be Baofu who will sacrifice.
*
The dead cannot be brought back to life, and the living must continue.
The rain was still falling, but without the people from the Beishan Sword Sect, the rescue was much faster.
In the night three days after the Beishan Sword Sect was destroyed, the sound of rain became less and less, and then it was almost inaudible.
The people rushed out of the mine, stretched out their hands, raised their heads, looked at the dark and peaceful night sky above, and turned round and round.
The wind gently blew through their hair, their faces, their palms, and there were no more cold raindrops.
"The rain has stopped!! The rain has stopped!!!"
"Stop, stop! Finally stopped!!!"
"Great, great, the rain finally stopped, finally stopped!"
"God, don't go anymore, please, don't go anymore... woo woo..."
Suddenly, the first cry came out from the cheering crowd, and then it could no longer be contained.
Sister Qiuyu fell to her knees inch by inch, covering her face and crying bitterly: "...you say why you are... bad luck, really bad luck..."
That night, countless people could not sleep.
It stopped raining that day, and it started raining in the world-
In the morning of the second day, the first rays of light shone down on Ji Jiajun, who was surrounded by the sky and the earth in the woods, on the carriage parked by the mine, and on the wet rain on the branches. Clear water droplets reflect colorful luster.
Wu Weian has slept with Ji Mingyan and Ji Mingshuang for the past few days.
He got up, walked towards the carriage parked outside, and lifted the curtain.
Sunlight poured in from the lifted curtain and shone on Baofu who was lying down.
Her body was well preserved, and the poisonous lady and Ji Mingyan used some unique medicinal powder.
And Ji Yunxi, who was supposed to be in the carriage, was not there.
Wu Wei settled down for a while, then turned around and grabbed a dark guard to ask.
"Where's Madame?"
"Young Master, Madam left before dawn, saying she wanted to relax, let us stay, and only let Miss Wanxiang follow."
Wu Weian frowned slightly: "Which direction did Madam go?"
The dark guard pointed to the forest trail next to him.
Wu Weian immediately flew away along the forest path.
I don't know how far she has gone, but Wu Weian used the fastest speed, and only saw Wanxiang after a cup of tea, and Ji Yunxi was still not there.
Wu Weian did not disturb Wanxiang, and continued to move forward. After a while, he heard the suppressed cry.
He paused for a while, followed the cry and turned a corner, and found Ji Yunxi sitting there behind a rock.
From there, you can see the sunrise.
At this moment, the sun has already risen and it is shining brightly.
And she hugged her knees, buried her face between her knees, and was crying.
Wu Weian gently fell to the side and sat down beside her.
Ji Yunxi didn't look up, she recognized the person through his shoes.
She bit her lip, took a deep breath, wiped the tears from her face between her knees, and stopped crying before raising her head.
As soon as she raised her head, a hand was stretched out in front of her.
Between the hazy eyes of tears, he put a candy in the palm of his knuckles like bamboo.
It was Ji Yunxi who bandaged the wound of a child that day. The other party hesitated for a long time, took it out and put it back in his arms, took it out and put it back, and finally made a decision. Da Da Da trot beside Ji Yunxi, tiptoed He gave it to her with his toes, and said that she must accept it.
Sugar is probably the most precious thing in a child's mind.
After she accepted it, she gave it to Wu Weian.
Wu Weian is sweet.
Ji Yunxi looked at the candy and smiled through her tears: "You haven't eaten it yet."
Wu Weian said softly, "Well, I'm not willing."
