Ma'am, please be merciful [Rebirth]

The two seemed to be in a stalemate without any movement, until Jiang Ruo inside spoke first, trying to ease the atmosphere and calling softly: "Does Xiao Qingyu want to come in?"

Fu Qingyu looked hesitantly at the veins on Jiang Ruona's face that gradually changed from bright red to dark black, as if they were devouring Jiang Ruo little by little.

But Jiang Ruo wasn't afraid at all, but watched Fu Qingyu nervously. After all, Fu Qingyu was just a child in Jiang Ruo's eyes.

"Yeah." Fu Qingyu just pretended to be a child who didn't understand anything, and stretched out his hand to gently hold Jiang Ruochui's hand that fell in the sleeve, the palm was very cold.

Only then did Jiang Ruo seem to have eased from the tension, and led Fu Qingyu into the room.

The room was very dark and smelled of medicinal herbs. Fu Qingyu couldn't see clearly inside, so she held Jiang Ruo's hand tightly and asked, "Why are all the windows closed in this room?"

"too bright."

Bright?

The two sat by the only open window, outside the window was the shade, and there was a small stream under the mountain.

Fu Qingyu calmed down, saw that Jiang Ruo seemed to be dispensing medicine, and asked: "I didn't have it just now, why did it become like this all of a sudden?"

Jiang Ruo stopped counting the medicinal herbs, hesitated and said: "The disease has not been completely cured, and these symptoms will appear when it recurs, and it will disappear in about two hours."

"Does it hurt?" Fu Qingyu moved closer, and could see the dark veins on Jiang Ruo's face more clearly.

"It doesn't hurt."

Fu Qingyu hesitated and reached out to touch Jiang Ruo's side face lightly, with a serious expression.

"Aren't you afraid, Xiao Qingyu?" Jiang Ruo asked Fu Qingyu, looking at each other.

"I... am not afraid."

Jiang Ruo smiled with the corners of her mouth upturned, stretched out her hand to lightly hold Fu Qingyu's little hand resting on her cheek, and responded as if holding it in the palm of her hand, "Then you were hiding from me just now?"

amount……

Is this recorded?

Fu Qingyu blinked at Jiang Ruo and said, "That's because I'm still a little scared."

"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Ruo raised her hand and pinched Fu Qingyu's little face and said, "Could it be that you think I'm a man-eating monster hiding in the mountains?"

In fact, Fu Qingyu really thought so.

But right now Fu Qingyu won't say it, otherwise Jiang Ruo might make fun of her for being cowardly again.

"Does it really not hurt?" Fu Qingyu still asked anxiously.

Jiang Ruo pressed Fu Qingyu's side face with her palm and said, "It doesn't hurt, it's just scary to look at."

I have never heard of any disease that makes people look like this. This feeling is more like some kind of black magic.

But Jiang Ruo obviously didn't want to mention it, what was he hiding?

If Jiang Ruo suddenly said that he wanted to leave, and now he got this disease when he came back, he must have been framed by someone outside.

Fu Qingyu became very angry when she thought about it like this, and her little face was even more serious.

Probably because he hadn't spoken all the time, Jiang Ruo gently stroked Fu Qingyu's brow with his fingertips, his eyes were full of scrutiny, and he asked in a low voice, "Why did you break in all of a sudden?"

"I was bored chasing a butterfly just now, and ended up here." Fu Qingyu recovered and replied.

Jiang Ruo frowned slightly and sighed, "How can there be any butterflies in this season?"

The inexplicable words made Fu Qingyu a little confused, and he looked at the serious Jiang Ruo and asked, "Is the butterfly strange?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Ruo smiled, as if she didn't intend to express her thoughts.

The two of them stayed like this till noon, when Fu Qingyu watched the dark veins disappear in amazement, it was really miraculous.

"It seems that there is really no trace at all."

"Shouldn't you worry about this?" Jiang Ruo gently scratched Fu Qingyu's nose with her fingertips.

Fu Qingyu rubbed her nose with her hand and said nothing, and when Jiang Ruo asked the maid to prepare the food, the two of them sat by the window to eat.

The sun was setting outside the window, and the surrounding windows were pushed open, and the house was much brighter just now.

Or because of the scary appearance before, Fu Qingyu looked at Jiang Ruo from time to time, holding a wooden spoon and stuffing hot rice with shiitake mushrooms into his mouth.

Holding the soup bowl in her hand, Jiang Ruo looked at Fu Qingyu's bulging cheeks and said with a smile in her eyes, "Xiao Qingyu, do I look good?"

Fu Qingyu paused, quickly looked away and blushed, and after a while slowly moved over to look at Jiang Ruo, who was smiling in his eyes, and reached out to pick up the hot soup on the side, saying: "I'm just afraid that the thing will grow longer. Come out, it's not... peeking at you."

"I see." Jiang Ruo didn't seem to want to continue asking.

After eating, it became darker and darker outside the window, and it was extremely cool in the mountains and forests. In addition, it is late autumn now, and it is most likely to catch cold. Jiang Ruo asked the maid to set up a charcoal basin, and Fu Qingyu held a teacup in his hand and sipped it .

Jiang Ruo flipped through Fu Qingyu's excerpts during the day, and the candlelight on the side flickered slightly, and the shadow cast on the side seemed to shake along with it.

The mountain was silent, Fu Qingyu looked at Jiang Ruo in front of him and asked hesitantly: "Jiang Ruo, what did you do when you went out in those years?"

"It's just dealing with some things." Jiang Ruo reached out to pick up the tea in front of her, and replied as if she hadn't noticed it.

Every time he gave such a perfunctory answer, Fu Qingyu couldn't ask anything at all, so he could only drink tea and say nothing.

It wasn't until Jiang Ruo closed the book that he spoke again: "The old master teaches very well, and Xiao Qingyu is also very smart."

Fu Qingyu turned to Jiang Ruo and said, "Then why did you come to Huoling City?"

Jiang Ruowei paused to look at Fu Qingyu and replied: "I used to live in Huoling Mountain Villa, so it's not strange to return to Huoling City. Why did Xiao Qingyu suddenly ask this?"

"But ordinary people have brothers and sisters, or a lot of elders, but it seems that you are always the only one in this villa."

"Naturally, it's because I don't have any other brothers and sisters, and the elders have all passed away, so I'm the only one left."

In fact, such gossip and rounds of questioning, in the final analysis, stemmed from Fu Qingyu wanting to know more about Jiang Ruo.

It's just that Jiang Ruo seemed to hide himself very deeply, and he didn't even think about talking to Fu Qingyu.

Fu Qingyu put down the teacup in his hand, frowned slightly and asked, "Jiang Ruo, are you a demon?"

Jiang Ruo, who was in front of her, paused slightly to pick up the teacup, then slowly drank the tea and sighed: "Xiao Qingyu, have you heard that Mr. Shu has told too many ghost stories?"

"But you flew up that day."

"That's just light work in the martial arts."

Jiang Ruo stared at Fu Qingyu who was full of seriousness, smiled and said: "If Xiao Qingyu wants to learn, I can teach you too."

"But Xiao Qingyu is still too young right now, when I get older in the future, I'll teach you again, okay?"

Apparently Jiang Ruo didn't want to admit that she was a demon, so Fu Qingyu leaned over, looked straight at Jiang Ruo and said, "I won't tell others."

"Stupid." Jiang Ruo was taken aback for a moment, stretched out her hand to embrace Fu Qingyu and sighed in a low voice: "You must have heard too many ghost stories."

Fu Qingyu leaned against Jiang Ruo lightly, rubbed his forehead lightly, Jiang Ruo turned his face and asked in a low voice: "But you didn't tell me anything?"

Jiang Ruo wrapped her arms around Fu Qingyu, leaning to one side and responded: "If I were a demon, would you be afraid?"

"I'm not afraid." Fu Qingyu looked at Jiang Ruo slightly away.

"You're afraid." Jiang Ruo bent her eyebrows and touched Fu Qingyu's brow lightly with her fingertips and said, "Everyone in the world is afraid of ghosts, and I don't blame you."

"But I'm not a demon, Xiao Qingyu is not allowed to think about it, so as not to frighten myself."

Fu Qingyu met Jiang Ruo's trusting gaze, and couldn't help but hesitated. Could it be his own illusion?

But all of this is very strange, Fu Qingyu couldn't figure out why Jiang Ruo could still touch her even though she was already a soul at that time?

Moreover, the illness was strange, and Fu Qingyu's intuition told him that Jiang Ruo must have concealed a lot of things.

"Okay, you should go take a bath and rest." Jiang Ruo said softly, pulling away a little.

"But I didn't bring a change of clothes?"

Jiang Ruo let go of her arms and got up, holding Fu Qingyu and saying, "I have it."

Fu Qingyu raised her head and asked, "But I didn't bring any clothes?"

"I knew you were coming, so I sent someone to prepare some clothes, so that if you stay for a long time, you can't just wear these clothes all the time, right?"

The two walked around the promenade, the lanterns on the side were dimly lit, and the heavy fog in the mountains looked even more mysterious.

In addition, Fu Qingyu used to think that the Huoling Mountain Villa was a little too deserted, but now that he realized something was wrong, he felt that everything was weird.

After entering there, Jiang Ruo let go of her hands and straightened her clothes. Fu Qingyu stretched out her hand to lightly dip into the pool of water, and it turned out to be warm.

"Xiao Qingyu, do you like this one?" Jiang Ruo asked Fu Qingyu holding the clothes in front of her.

Fu Qingyu withdrew her hand and looked at the pink clothes and asked inexplicably awkwardly: "Is there no other color?"

Jiang Ruo responded with the clothes in her hands: "This clothes are very cute, Xiao Qingyu doesn't like it?"

Who still wears such pink and tender children's clothes?

Besides, although Fu Qingyu is small, she still dresses up like a man, and such pink clothes are obviously worn by girls.

It was probably because Fu Qingyu didn't speak, so Jiang Ruo didn't ask any more questions, but instead chose a blue suit.

There is a slight heat in here, much warmer than the outside, Jiang Ruo put the clothes aside and suddenly turned her head to ask: "The water in this pool is a little deep, can you do it alone?"

Fu Qingyu replied blankly: "I can do it, I'm not short."

Jiang Ruo smiled softly and said: "Then I will wait outside, and you can call if you need something."

"Ah."

After Jiang Ruo left here, Fu Qingyu stepped into the warm pool slowly, did he suddenly realize what Jiang Ruo wanted to be with him just now?

Fu Qingyu poked her head sideways to the thin wooden window, and Jiang Ruo's figure still loomed.

Obviously he hasn't done anything bad yet, but Fu Qingyu can't help but want to look at it. The water is not hot, but Fu Qingyu feels that his face is very hot.

"Xiao Qingyu?" Jiang Ruo suddenly changed softly.

Fu Qingyu was so frightened that she quickly recovered and responded: "Well, what's the matter?"

Jiang Ruo on the other side suddenly smiled, her voice was clear and moving, even if she was not in front of her eyes, Fu Qingyu could still imagine the warm smile in her eyes.

"Why don't you make any noise?" Jiang Ruo stopped laughing and said in a low voice.

Fu Qingyu blushed and buried half of her face in the pool water, wondering if Jiang Ruo was peeking at her bathing?
