The appearance of the two uninvited guests broke the tense atmosphere. The fierce fight took a moment to rest. Liu Ruyan and Luo Lin stared at each other coldly, still facing each other in the mountain wind. This is a life-and-death battle, and there is no room for negligence. Any slight mistake will be fatal.
When the two people disappeared in the jungle, Liu Ruyan's heart finally fell to the ground. He thought that these two people would help Luo Lin, but unexpectedly, they also had their own concerns. What's the idea?
Luo Xiangxue was carried to the bed by the middle-aged woman, who twisted the quilt for her. Her eyes were closed, her face flushed with excitement was covered with tears, her hair was wet with sweat, and a few strands of hair were scattered on the face. Her face was calm, as if she had fallen asleep.
The middle-aged woman sat in front of the bed and stayed with her quietly. She looked at the child she had brought back from the cornfield twenty years ago with pity. Although she was not her biological child, she was unable to give birth to a child, so she felt sorry for this child. The children are treated as their own to comfort themselves from the regrets of this life.
Seeing her daughter bravely standing in front of her father just now, and remembering every bit of her daughter's growth as a child, a gentle smile appeared on her lips. Seeing her face covered with tears, she felt sad and unbearable in her heart. She hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen to pick up a basin. Come with clean water, soak the towel and wipe her gently. After a while, she suddenly noticed that there was no movement outside, so she came to the window, opened the window gently and peeked into the yard, but there was no trace of anyone in the yard. Liu Ruyan and Luo Lin were nowhere to be seen. Where have you gone?
She was a little surprised. She opened her eyes wide and looked around. The mountain wind was still blowing. The chickens, ducks and geese in the yard were all frightened and hiding in the corner of the yard wall. They were trembling. The big yellow dog under the eaves seemed to have become more honest. , curled up in the grass nest and dozed off, it seemed indifferent to human battles and vendettas.
The middle-aged woman didn't see the two figures, so she suddenly became nervous and made random guesses in her mind. Just as she was about to run out to look for the two of them, Luo Xiangxue snorted and woke up. She opened her eyes and was startled. She sat up hurriedly and saw a middle-aged woman turning around in front of the window and asked anxiously. "Mom, what are you doing? Where are daddy and Brother Liu? How are they?" She hurriedly got out of bed and ran straight to her mother. Because Luo Lin tapped her sleeping point, she felt dizzy. Drowsy. She staggered a little when she stood up. The middle-aged woman hurriedly supported her and asked with concern: "Xue'er, how are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? You'd better go back to bed and lie down."
Luo Xiangxue asked anxiously: "I'm fine. How are dad and Brother Liu? Couldn't they have..." She couldn't say the next words anymore, and felt sad again in her heart. The look of sadness was very pitiful.
Guiying shook her head slightly and comforted: "Silly boy, don't worry, they will be fine, but they have not been seen at this moment, and they may have gone elsewhere. Rest well, I Let's go out and take a look." The woman said with a look of embarrassment on her face, turned around and was about to go out.
Xiangxue hurriedly called out: "Mom, I'll let you go! What if they do something bad..." She hurried over anxiously and hurried to the yard with her mother. The two of them looked around, and the mountain wind blew in the bamboo forest. There was a whirring sound, but there was no one around.
Xiangxue murmured anxiously: "Oh, will something happen to them? It's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought Brother Liu here. Brother Liu once saved me, but why is his enemy his father? Why is this happening? ? God, why did you arrange it like this?" She was at a loss for a moment and looked up at the sky blankly. There were a few white clouds floating on the dark blue sky.
The middle-aged woman hugged her in her arms and murmured: "Child, don't blame me, this is life! This is life!" The mother and daughter hugged each other and sobbed softly.
Luo Xiangxue stopped crying, wiped the tears on her face, and suddenly said firmly: "If Brother Liu really kills dad, I can never face him again. Dad himself admits that he is a murderer. No matter what the reason is, this This thing has happened. It is natural to kill someone and pay for life. If that is the case, I can't hate him, but I can't see him either." As he said that, he held his mother's hand and said with concern: "Mom, although you are not my biological mother, you are not my biological mother. You took me in and raised me. This kindness is as high as the sky and the sea. My daughter will never forget your mother’s kindness in raising me! Mother, please take care of me! My daughter is kowtowing to you." She knelt down in front of her mother with a plop and said deeply He kowtowed deeply.
The middle-aged woman hurriedly helped her up, looked at her with pity, and said softly: "Xue'er, you were raised by your mother. She loves you dearly and doesn't want to see you wronged. No matter what you do, mother I won't blame you, no matter where you go, you will always be my mother's daughter!" She said, gently closing her eyes, and a stream of clear tears came out of her eyes.
Luo Xiangxue stared at her mother affectionately and cried out: "Mom, my daughter is unfilial. From now on, my daughter will never leave her mother again. She will stay with her mother and serve her all her life!"
The middle-aged woman burst into tears and smiled, biting her lip and said: "Silly boy, mother will grow old one day. You don't have to watch over mother every day. You should have your own life! Xue'er, mother only wants you to live a happy life. If you want to be safe and happy, will you hate your father?"
Luo Xiangxue smiled sadly and said quietly: "Now that the matter has come to this, what can we do if we hate or not hate? I'm afraid the hatred between them can never be resolved. They are my closest people, what should I do? ?" She let go of her mother's hand, leaned on the fence, and stared longingly into the depths of the bamboo forest.
At this moment, there were sparse footsteps in the forest, with heavy breathing. It seemed that every step was very difficult. Luo Xiangxue and the middle-aged woman chased after them. Where the bamboo bushes were swaying, Liu Ruyan was seen stumbling and moving slowly towards this side. His clothes were stained with large blood stains, and there was a person on his back. The person's eyes were half-squinted, and his head was tilted to one side, looking limp and mournful. , the skirt of his body was scarlet, and he had obviously shed a lot of blood.
The man on Liu Ruyan's back was Luo Lin, who had just fought fiercely. It looked like he was already dying. Liu Ruyan was covered in blood and staggering. He was obviously seriously injured. His body was swaying and he could hardly support himself.
When Luo Xiangxue and the middle-aged woman saw such a scene, they were shocked and shocked. They were so shocked that it took them a long time to react. The middle-aged woman ran over with a mournful "Ah!" and wailed in a hoarse voice: "Her dad...what's wrong with you? Wake up, wake up..." She cried sadly, mixed with endless grief, anger and grievance, until she burst into tears. When Liu Ruyan saw Luo Xiangxue and the middle-aged woman rushing towards them, her body suddenly softened and she fell to the ground half-kneeling. The people on her back also rolled out, looking like two bloody men.
Luo Xiangxue stared at the scene in front of her with wide eyes. His face was earth-colored and he did not cry. He just looked at them numbly. The sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. She watched her mother throw herself on her father and caress his deathly gray body. face, calling his name over and over again, and wiping away the bloodshot eyes gushing from the corners of his mouth.
After a while, Luo Lin slowly opened his eyes, making a weak gurgling sound from his mouth, and strands of blood gush out and soaked the clothes on his chest. His lips trembled slightly, and a vague moan came from his throat. He tried to raise his hand, but it was in vain. The middle-aged woman put her ear close to his mouth, and could only hear a few indistinct words. Words: "I... I... am about to... die. You... you take... take Xiaoxue with you and live a good life!" His eyes were wide open, but his gaze was unusually calm.
Luo Xiangxue had already rushed over. She leaned Luo Lin in her arms, gently wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth with her hands, and called anxiously: "Dad, Dad, you can't die, you won't die!" Then she turned around again. He turned to the middle-aged woman and shouted, "Mom, hurry up, get the gold medicine!" The middle-aged woman was startled, then hurriedly got up and stumbled towards the house.
Liu Ruyan collapsed on the ground, with blood all over his body. There were several wounds on his shoulders, chest and back. His chest was heaving violently, his lips were half-open and half-closed, breathing heavily. He opened his eyes and looked at Luo Xiangxue sobbing beside him. , there was an unspeakable complex emotion in his heart. On the one hand, he felt happy because he killed his enemy with his own hands. On the other hand, she felt ashamed and secretly guilty of Luo Xiangxue. Luo Xiangxue was deeply in love with her, but she killed her father with her own hands. How could a young woman like her endure such a situation? Even a dignified man with seven feet cannot be relieved!
Liu Ruyan looked at her crying sadly, her tears drooping down, and her heart was full of sorrow. It seemed that he could no longer face her in this situation. Likewise, Luo Xiangxue was filled with pain, and her heart had long been destroyed. This hatred was crushed to pieces.
She held her father's hand and looked up anxiously at the house from time to time. The middle-aged woman ran into the room, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and finally found a red porcelain bottle. She turned around and hurried towards this side.
Luo Xiangxue caught a glimpse of her figure and beckoned: "Mom, hurry up, dad is dying!" She looked anxious and kept comforting Luo Lin, hoping that he could survive. Luo Lin's hands gradually became softer, and his heartbeat gradually became weaker, as if he would soon lose his breath. Suddenly, there was a soft smile in his eyes as he looked at Luo Xiangxue. His eyes flickered brightly, and the flame swayed in the wind, as if it was about to go out at any moment.
The blood from the corner of Luo Lin's mouth was still oozing out. He tried his best to squeeze out a smile, but suddenly he groaned and there was a gurgling sound in his throat. However, he tilted his head and slowly closed his eyes. Luo Xiangxue saw this. She called him hurriedly: "Dad, wake up, wake up! Daddy..." She called heartbreakingly, and Luo Lin's body gradually became soft and cold. Luo Xiangxue suddenly burst into tears. She tremblingly stretched out her fingers to test Luo Lin's nostrils, only to find that he had died.
