Liu Chaoge came closer, and Mu Qing noticed that there was blood foam at the corner of his mouth. He looked at the corner of his dress exposed outside the courtyard door, frowned and asked: "Uncle Liu, your body..., doesn't Wei Rui know?" "
Liu Chaoge showed a satisfied and relaxed look, shook his head and said: "What can I do if I know? This is not a relief for me."
Mu Qing said seriously: "If Wei Rui finds out about this after she goes to the west, she will regret and blame herself for the rest of her life."
Liu Chaoge was silent for a while, and then said casually: "I asked you to come tonight, and it seems that you have become a lonely person? Don't tell Wei Rui about this."
Mu Qing was torn in her heart and kept her jaw low. Liu Chaoge patted him on the shoulder and said, "I walked into death calmly. I wasn't very afraid. Instead, I felt relaxed from the bottom of my heart. As for regrets, the only thing I regret is not being able to see." I'm going to Weirui to get married, so I hope you can think carefully about what I just told you."
"No matter what, don't let my daughter down."
"Uncle Liu, I promise you."
When we returned to the small courtyard where we were resting, it was late at night. Mu Qing, Liu Weirui and Xiaochan were walking together. They were speechless along the way. When they entered the small courtyard, they realized that everyone was very quiet when they came back.
After about a while, after tossing and turning, he finally couldn't help knocking on the door of the courtyard next door.
But after a moment, Xiao Chan put out a pretty face and said with a chuckle: "Sir, what a coincidence, the lady is coming to see you."
She gave up her position, revealing Liu Weirui behind her.
After Liu Weirui came back, she changed out of her daytime coat, leaving only the pure white silk lining. The candlelight was much smaller at this time, and the white clothes were covered with faint eyebrows. The moon was in the sky, and the silver light looked extremely holy. .
"I want to ask you something."
"I forgot something I haven't said yet."
"Then you first."
"Then you first."
Xiaochan let Mu Qing come in. Mu Qing looked at the faint shyness and joy in Liu Weirui's eyebrows. He didn't know how to clear the way, so he smiled and said: "You have priority here, you speak first."
Liu Weirui glanced at Xiaochan and said, "You will not be alone when you leave tomorrow."
Mu Qing asked in confusion: "Are you going to escort the caravan again?"
Xiaochan explained with a smile: "Sir, have you forgotten that there is a group of people who came to Jinguan City with our caravan? They are from the Iron Bone Village. This group of people was arranged by the lady to stay in the best inn in the city. You should have a good time these two days, and they will go with you."
Mu Qing felt a little dizzy when he heard this, shook his head and said: "They will slow me down, and I don't want to have to protect this group of people."
Xiaochan nodded and said: "The lady asked my brother Li Si to talk to those people. They said frankly that they would not drag you down. You can do it easily when you want to leave alone."
Liu Weirui nodded and said: "What I mean is that you will definitely have to sleep in the open and travel all night alone. If you are not in a hurry, you can go with them for a while first."
“The more people there are, the more interesting the journey will be.”
"Wei Rui, are you worried about me?" Mu Qing smiled inwardly and nodded to the two of them.
Liu Weirui smiled and asked Xiaochan to get a palm-sized box and placed it in front of Mu Qing.
Mu Qingxiao asked: "Is this a return gift?"
Liu Weirui pursed her lips and smiled: "If I want to return the gift, I will wait until you attend the appointment before I give it to you. This is the reward you deserve for escorting the caravan and protecting everyone this time."
"Huh?" Mu Qing stretched out his hand to open the box in front of him and found that it was full of extremely exquisite gold leaves. He quickly shook his head and said: "I went to the bookstore this morning and got a lot of reward, a full one hundred taels of gold. Wasn’t it Wei Rui that you gave it to me?”
Liu Weirui blinked and guessed: "It must have been given by my father. He didn't even tell me."
Mu Qing pushed the wooden box over, shook his head and said, "Although I don't know much about these things, I can imagine that any gold leaf in it is very valuable."
Liu Weirui twisted a gold leaf with fine textures between her two fingers and said with a smile: "Because of its workmanship and scarcity, this gold leaf can be directly discounted into ten taels of gold."
Mu Qing estimated the number of gold leaves in the box and said in surprise: "Then there should be at least a few hundred taels of gold in it. I usually don't spend much money, Wei Rui, you'd better keep it yourself."
Liu Weirui's eyes were round, he looked Mu Qing up and down, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, a man depends on his clothes and his saddle. Even if you don't pay attention to these things, I don't want...my man to eat coarse grains and wear rough clothes. cloth."
Mu Qing smiled helplessly, but still didn't want to accept it. Xiao Chan explained to the group: "Young master, you should still be my subordinate. If you don't accept it, the lady will always whisper in my ears, thinking about whether you have eaten cold. Wear something thin, these are just part of the lady’s private money, so don’t refuse.”
Liu Weirui didn't wait for Mu Qing to refuse, then gave the box to Xiaochan and said, "Xiaochan, go and put it in his room."
Seeing that Mu Qing wanted to refuse, she changed the subject and asked, "Don't you have something to do with me? Let's talk about it now."
"Uh." Mu Qing was asked about it for a moment. She was ready to tell Liu Weirui about her father, but she didn't know where to start.
Seeing Mu Qing's lowered eyebrows and silence, Liu Weirui had a bad feeling in her heart and asked seriously, "Did my father say something to you?"
Mu Qing smiled and said, "Uncle agreed that we should be together. He just asked me not to die anywhere and let you live up to your expectations."
Liu Weirui raised her eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "I think my father must have agreed. Xiaochan finally quietly read the words on the lantern..."
Liu Weirui realized that she had let slip her words, her eyebrows rose and fell and she stopped talking.
Mu Qing smiled faintly and asked, "You have been going to Lin's house in Xishan for a long time. Who are the people there?"
Liu Weirui could hear the concern in Mu Qing's words. This kind of concern hidden in daily communication was exactly what she expected. She gathered the affection and tenderness in her heart and said with a smile: "It should take another month. Let's wait until my father's condition stabilizes a little. My grandma should go back to the Lin family in Xishan in a few days, but she will leave the Zhang brothers behind, and Yue Jiu will also go with her. Well, Xiaochan will definitely accompany her. I went with you."
Mu Qing listened absentmindedly and asked slowly: "What disease does uncle have?"
Liu Weirui said seriously: "I found Miaozhen today, and Miaozhen said it's still the same. My father is weak and has cold lungs. He keeps coughing and can't sleep well."
As Liu Weirui was talking, she suddenly noticed that Mu Qing, who was sitting opposite him, had eyes flashing. He thought that when he asked Miaozhen during the day, the other party did not dare to look at him. He felt sad in his heart and suddenly lost his voice.
"you……"
"Did you find something?"
Mu Qing saw Liu Weirui's sudden loss of color, and quickly sat next to her, hugged her stiff and trembling shoulders, and said with difficulty: "Miss Miaozhen found me tonight and told me about Uncle Liu's death." specific situation."
Liu Weirui's eyes focused very slowly, and she asked out of fear of hearing something: "What's going on?"
Mu Qing held Liu Weirui's little hand, feeling the coldness in the other's hand. He hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth, "Miaozhen said that Uncle Liu's heart is dim, and there is not much energy left in his body. He has been coughing up blood recently." .”
Liu Weirui's face looked unusually calm, and her unblinking eyes were filled with thick mist. She asked seriously: "Is there anything you can do?"
Mu Qing felt extremely guilty. His woman had hope for him, but he could only let her fall into the abyss of disappointment. "I asked Miss Miaozhen carefully about Uncle Liu's situation. If it is poisoning or something like that, I still have confidence." , but obviously this is not the case with Uncle Liu."
Liu Weirui buried her pale little face into Mu Qing's chest. Mu Qing felt warm liquid soaking into his chest and clothes. He felt so compassionate and wanted to rub the other person into his chest.
Liu Weirui's voice was like a broken kite, whimpering in the night, "Actually, I can know, I can know. A long time ago, I found the piece of paper with a piece of paper in his study. I should have thought of the blood-stained handkerchief at that time."
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."
Liu Weirui's voice drifted far away and then came closer, "That handkerchief belongs to my mother. My father also has a secret room full of my mother's things. I know that my father loves my mother very much, but as of now Since having me, my father has lost my mother forever."
Mu Qing was silent and sighed in his heart: "Heart disease is indeed the most difficult disease to treat in the world."
He gently patted Liu Weirui's shoulder and comforted her in a low voice: "Silly woman, how could you think so."
Mu Qing thought that he didn't even know who his parents were, but he had received care and love from Shaoyao's father in those six years. There was light in his eyes, and he said seriously: "Parents' love should be the most important thing in the world." Selfless things, although I am an orphan, I have also experienced father's love. You have to believe that your father would never want to blame his children so much. You have not sorry for your father. He must love you and do it for you. Proud."
Liu Weirui was in a very confused state now. After hearing Mu Qing's words, she turned from sobbing to bursting into tears and said: "It's my reason, it's my reason. If my mother didn't give birth to the child, She won't die if I am. Grandma said that I inherited my mother's innate physique. Later, when I pressed her, although grandma did not say it explicitly, she also admitted that it is easy for things to go wrong if the blood inheritance of this physique is inherited. "
Mu Qing didn't know the special physique of the Lin family in Xishan, but he spontaneously had sincere respect for Wei Rui's mother. He lowered his chin to Liu Wei Rui's ear and said softly: "You are right, it is precisely because of your father and mother. Only because I love you can I have you, and only then can I meet such a beautiful and outstanding person like you."
Liu Weirui choked in a low voice: "Don't leave tonight, just stay here with me, okay?"
"Okay." Mu Qing carried Liu Weirui into Liu Weirui's boudoir and laid her cold body on the bed. Liu Weirui curled up like a baby and lay beside Mu Qing. She sobbed slowly from time to time. He said slowly: "Then I won't go to Lin's house in Xishan. Do you agree?"
Mu Qing placed Liu Weirui's head on his thigh, touched the moist and warm tears in the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, and said softly: "Silly woman, your decision is my decision."
"It's because of me that you plan to go to the Lin family in Xishan. In fact, I haven't been able to say anything, but if you want to be together in the future, it's enough for me to work hard, okay?"
Liu Weirui said a vague "hmm", "Then what if one day I get old and my face becomes wrinkled and ugly, and you don't like me anymore?"
Mu Qing entangled the green silk around the woman's ears, "When you get old and the green silk becomes the color of snow, you will be like this now when you take a nap, lying on my lap. So, fool, don't think too much. "
Women's thoughts are always elusive. Mu Qing just breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Liu Weirui's mood was more stable, but he saw her crying and said: "I wish my mother and my father could be like us now. I When dad is alone, will he think about these things?"
Mu Qing lay down on his side and hugged Liu Weirui tightly into his arms, "So please accompany Uncle Liu on his last journey."
Liu Weirui sobbed and fell asleep in Mu Qing's arms. They did not know that Liu Chaoge was also in the courtyard at this time and heard their conversation clearly.
"Master." Xiaochan stood aside and felt very sad for no reason.
Liu Chaoge shook his head and smiled, "Chan'er, you and Wei Rui grew up together. It seems that you will have to help her more in the future. Uncle, I'm sorry for you."
Xiaochan shook her head and choked: "Xiaochan likes to be with the lady."
Liu Chaoge lowered his jaw and said, "Your father and I are brothers and sisters. While there is still time, choose a good day and I will let you recognize me as your adoptive father. In this way, your situation will be better when you follow Wei Rui to Xishan."
Xiaochan didn't expect that Liu Chaoge was still worried about such trivial matters. She shook her head and said, "Master, didn't you listen to the young lady? She doesn't plan to go to Xishan."
Liu Chaoge sighed in his heart: "It turns out that Youwei's physique is so special. If I don't send Wei Rui to Xishan, will Wei Rui have the same accident as her mother in the future?"
He felt endless guilt for his late wife. He looked in the direction of the loquat tree and whispered to Xiaochan: "Don't mention it to Wei Rui about my coming tonight. As for my illness, just let it go. It’s natural.”
