Looking at Che'er sleeping soundly, Ran You suddenly thought of her childhood playmate.
She could never forget the fire.
The fire always goes out, but they never come back.
No matter how much the villagers shouted and begged, they could not move the devils. They stood coldly, indifferent to the fact that so many lives were about to be reduced to ashes.
The lives of the untouchables are not worth mentioning. Only when everyone in the village is dead can they truly feel at ease.
Ran You survived.
She is no longer the innocent little girl. In order to avenge the villagers and completely prevent such tragedies from happening, she has allowed herself to bear too many burdens.
Because she is not qualified to relax after surviving.
Her family members died early, but it was the villagers who gave her love and warmth. But such kind people died in such a humble way, even worse than ants.
Suddenly, a pair of small hands were placed on his face. It turned out that Che'er had woken up, and he was looking at him with concern on his face.
"Sister Aran, don't be sad! If you are sad, I will be sad too!" Wu Che said extremely seriously.
Ran You tried to calm down, "Sister, I'm not sad. Really, why did you wake up so soon?"
"I'm not in good health and I usually sleep lightly, but sister Aran, don't worry, I will work hard to become stronger so that I can protect my sister!"
Ran You felt very sorry for Wu Che.
Why is there so much injustice in the world? Why should so many innocent children suffer and even deprive them of the right to grow up? Why do some kind people always fail to get a good death? And why do some people do all kinds of evil and bad things but can still enjoy their old age peacefully?
Bad guys can get away with it as long as their lives are good; good guys can only go through hardships if their lives are miserable, and they can't even live!
It is destined and destiny, even if it is not fair, can it still be regarded as the so-called natural law?
If the law of heaven really does not distinguish between right and wrong, how could she give in?
"Sister Aran, do you miss your relatives?" Wu Che asked worriedly.
"My relatives are long gone."
Wu Che quickly held her hand, wanting to give Sister Aran some comfort, "From now on, just treat me as your relative. I like Sister Aran very much. I hope Sister Aran can be happy, and I will be like you in the future." I’ll protect you just like I protect my sister.”
Ran You looked at the little hand holding hers. It took her a lot of effort to control the fluctuations in her heart.
It feels so good to be cared for by others, but it's a pity that Ran You doesn't dare to be overly greedy.
After a long time, she said slowly: "Okay, Che'er will be my relative from now on. I believe Che'er will protect me. From now on, my sister will not be alone. She is very happy. Thank you Che'er!"
"Sister Aran, actually I also miss my family. I miss my grandma so much. They said she went to another place! I also miss my sister so much. I don't know when we can see each other again! Brother Jin said it won't be long, Soon my sister and I will be able to live together, I'm so happy, but I still can't wait, it would be great if this day could come sooner, but fortunately, you and Brother Jin are with me now."
Ran You felt a little guilty. She was about to take Che'er to see Shen Jiayou and hand him over to Minglan. She didn't know if he would be disappointed.
She was really reluctant, but what could she do?
"Che'er, Sister Aran and Brother Jin have important things to do, so you have to stay at the house of one of my sister's friends for a while. They will take good care of you. When everything is taken care of, Brother Jin and Sister Aran I will take you back, and then we will take you and your sister to leave the Western Region together and go to a new place to start a new life. By then, you two siblings will never be separated again, and sister Aran will also Stay with you and take care of you, okay?"
Che'er was a little disappointed, but he still said sensibly: "Okay."
"Che'er is so good. Trust me, sister. I will pick you up soon."
"Definitely!" Wu Che hesitated and asked with some uncertainty: "Sister Aran, after we go to a new place, will I be able to see sister Azai and sister Sheng'er again?"
Ran You didn't know how to answer. She was destined not to be companions with those people, but she couldn't bear to let Che'er down.
When Wu Che saw Ran You was in trouble, he stopped asking. He just whispered: "It would be great if we could be together forever! Sister Aran, when will we go to your friend's house?"
"Going right now."
"good."
Ran You looked at Che'er, and for a moment she really hoped that this child's wish would come true, but she knew that this would never be possible.
Ran You thought about Minglan again, could she really take good care of Che'er?
It's all my fault for being negligent, why didn't I stand guard at the door at that time, so that Minglan would be stopped, and Che'er wouldn't hear anything she shouldn't, let alone be sent away by them.
"Sister Aran, let me go and say goodbye to Brother Jin first."
Ran You nodded.
Che'er hugged He Lianxuan gently, "Brother Jin, don't worry, I will be obedient! When you see your sister, you must tell her that I am fine and reassure her. You said that my sister and I will not be together soon." If we are separated again, do you keep what you say? Also, you must come to pick me up after you have done something good, I will miss you. By the way, Brother Jin, you must also protect Sister Aran!"
He Lianxuan nodded in agreement.
At first, he just used Wu Yin, but later he was gradually attracted to her. Although this love was true, it was always mixed with a bit of impurity.
But his love for Che'er didn't contain any impurities.
He Lianxuan fully hopes that everything will end soon. Then he will make up for Yin'er and do his best to be good to Che'er.
Ran You was also deeply moved, Che'er's sensibleness was so heartbreaking.
I hope this well-behaved child can grow up healthily...
~~~
After meeting Ran You, Shen Jiayou's handsome face looked even more energetic.
"Croyuki, I have something to ask you."
"What?"
"This is my brother. I hope you can help me take good care of him."
Shen Jiayu readily agreed without thinking: "No problem."
"Thanks!"
"I did it willingly, you don't have to thank me!"
How could Ran You not notice the friendship in this, but she pretended not to understand, "Che'er, Sister Aran still has something to tell this brother, please go inside and wait for a while, okay?"
Wu Che nodded.
"Where will Che'er live?"
"I'll take you there."
After settling Che'er, Ran You and Shen Jiayou found a quiet place where no one was, and then she told him one by one about other things that needed Jiayou's help.
"So I'm going to Lichun Court soon to redeem the girl named Minglan, and take her home to pretend to be her husband, right?"
Ran You nodded, "Yes, you should pay more attention to Minglan's actions. If anything happens, you must tell me in time."
"no problem!"
"Cheer, please take care of you too."
"Do not worry!"
"Thank you, about the ransom..."
Before Ran You could finish speaking, Shen Jiayou interrupted: "I'm not short of money, so you don't have to worry about the ransom."
"How is this possible?"
"Why not? You saved my life. I was almost killed when I went to Rong Kingdom to do business. It was you who saved me, and then I was imprisoned. It was the Ninth Prince who saved me. Without you, I have reported to the underworld a long time ago, how could I still be here today?"
"After all, we are not from the same country."
"I just want to help Ran You and He Lianxuan, not the Ninth Prince and Ran You of the Rong Kingdom! I always believe that interactions between people should be simpler, and we should not carry those differences between countries. prejudice among people."
"It would be great if everyone thought like you." Ran You sighed.
"Yes, this will reduce a lot of grievances."
"Why did you never ask us what we were doing in the West? Why did I ask you to redeem someone you didn't know?"
"Is this important?" Shen Jiayou asked indifferently.
"Isn't it important?"
"Of course it's not important! I don't have that much curiosity. What you do has nothing to do with me. Besides, I can't stop anything. What's more, you saved me once. Of course I have to repay this kindness."
"If you were asked to do something that goes against your conscience, would you agree?"
Shen Jiayou laughed, "I believe you won't embarrass me."
Ran You also smiled and said, "Thank you for being willing to keep our secret."
"I said you're welcome!"
"Ciaoyou, if Yin and Rong really go to war, what will you do?"
Shen Jiayou said calmly: "I'm just a businessman. I can't control national affairs. If I really have to go to war, I hope there will be as few killings as possible. Of course, it would be best not to start a war. I still don't want to see anyone die." , whether they are from Yin or Rong."
"If the people of Yin State were like you, they wouldn't be in this situation."
"No matter where you are, there will be people like me, and there will be all kinds of people. Ran You, if we really want to fight, no matter what the outcome is, please, for my sake, let the Ninth Prince fight People should be kinder and stop causing unnecessary killings, okay?"
Ran You nodded solemnly.
"Thanks!"
"Since you won't let me say thank you, then don't thank me either."
"So is this the kind of relationship between us where we don't have to say thank you?" Shen Jiayou asked expectantly.
Ran You still pretended not to understand, "I'm going back first."
"Okay, take care of yourself, you've lost weight!"
"Do not worry."
"Be careful in everything." Shen Jiayou never forgot to tell him.
~~~
The news of Minglan's ransom quickly spread throughout Lichun Court.
Mother Liu was very surprised at first. The other person was a complete stranger, but it was not surprising. After Minglan became famous, she had a certain degree of freedom. She could go in and out of Lichun Court at will. Maybe she met her lover somewhere by chance.
Anyway, everything has nothing to do with her, she just needs to receive the money.
Mother Liu handed the deed of betrayal back to Minglan, "Take this. Mother wishes you success in the future."
These words are somewhat sincere.
After saying goodbye to Liu's mother, Minglan went to find Wu Yin.
Wu Yin was really happy for Minglan, "Lan'er, congratulations."
"Thank you sister!"
"You have to take care of yourself in the future, you know?"
Minglan nodded. She took out the deed of betrayal from her arms, stared at it for a long time, and then said with some disbelief: "I am really free."
Wu Yin said with some distress: "Yes, you are free, Lan'er. From now on, you must forget all the unpleasant things in the past."
"I will! Sister, we won't be able to see each other often in the future, and you have to take care of yourself."
"good."
Wu Yin took out the amulet that Minglan had asked for for herself. She always cherished it and said, "You gave this to me. It will definitely protect me, so you don't have to worry."
Minglan didn't expect that Wu Yin would keep this thing. She thought it was very ridiculous, but she felt a little complicated.
If there was no Mr. Jin, would their relationship be different?
After saying a few more words, Minglan stood up and said goodbye, meaningfully saying: "Sister, we will meet again soon."
After sending Minglan away, Wu Yin felt a little sad and lonely, but mostly happy.
Soon she thought of Mr. Jin again. After going through so much, he should give himself a home as he said.
Unexpectedly, when I was thinking about Mr. Jin, he actually appeared.
"What are you thinking about?"
Wu Yin gently replied: "It's nothing. How is Che'er now?"
He Lianxuan's eyes dodge for a moment, but he didn't let Wu Yin notice, "I have already asked people to take Che'er back to the Central Plains. The conditions here are not good and are not conducive to Che'er's recovery. Don't worry, I am someone you can absolutely trust. Escort Che'er, he will definitely take good care of Che'er, I promise."
Wu Yin was stunned.
Afraid that Yin'er would be worried, He Lianxuan continued: "Don't worry, I will take you out of the Western Region very soon. Then you, me, and Che'er, we will be together forever, okay?"
Wu Yin nodded.
The climate in the Central Plains may be really conducive to Che'er's recovery, but Wu Yin couldn't help but feel disappointed when he left without saying goodbye to Che'er.
"I guarantee that Che'er will be fine and you will see each other soon. Yin'er, can you trust me?"
"I believe."
He Lianxuan hugged Wu Yin and said softly: "Thank you."
Wu Yin thought of her grandmother again. It must be her spirit in heaven that protected her so that she could be so happy. However, the poor grandmother had never been happy in her life.
He Lianxuan felt the person in his arms crying, and he said lovingly: "I will definitely treat you well, I will, please believe me."
"I believe!"
