"I know the relationship between you and Chu Xinyan, and I know that you are together, so it is impossible for me to have a chance." Shen Tan paused for a moment, pointing sideways to the opposite stone wall: "This is where all ethnic groups The boundary with the human race. Chu Xinyan is inside...to accept the punishment of the cat race."

"I went home these two days. When I went out this morning, I saw many people discussing something together. That's when I realized it was her. It seems that your identity has also been discovered." Shen Shen's voice became lower and lower, Qin Ruochu struggled His body froze suddenly.

She thought of Chu Xinyan's mother.

I thought about myself again.

"Take me in."

"I..." Shen Chen originally wanted to bring Qin Ruochu in, but he began to worry about whether this would make things worse, so he hesitated for a while.

Qin Ruochu grabbed Shen Chen's arm with his backhand: "Aren't you going to make atonement? Then take me in!"

"……it is good."

The bright crystal nucleus emerges from Shen Shen's chest and fits perfectly into the depression of the stone wall. He turns around and grabs Qin Ruochu's wrist, dragging her into the door.

Qin Ruochu was stimulated by a burst of bright light and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she was standing on an empty path.There are no figures around, except for the green grass under the feet.

"Where is Chu Xinyan?" She turned her head and asked Shen Chen.

"There is still some distance from here, I'm afraid it's too late." Shen Shen casually tore off the feather necklace hanging around his neck that he would never take off even taking a shower, and threw it into the air. The necklace suddenly had a bright white light, and Qin Ruochu subconsciously raised the back of his hand to block it. In front of his eyes, immediately after Shen Shen's hands naturally dropped to make fists, a pair of giant wings of the Crane Clan suddenly spread out from both sides of the shoulder blades.

When the giant wings flapped, it was as if a gust of wind had blown, and Qin Ruochu's loose long hair was pulled behind his back along with the wind.

"Come up!" Shen Shen squatted on one knee and shouted back.

Qin Ruochu put away her shocked expression, and jumped onto the pair of wings.

"Grab it."

The giant wings fluttered impressively. Qin Ruochu climbed the heavy shoulders and stepped on the base of the wings with strength. The wings of the crane clan are not as soft and delicate as ordinary birds. When Qin Ruochu's hand brushed a feather by accident, he felt sharp and Hard, as if there is a force supporting every feather.

Qin Ruochu went deep into this unknown world alone, the giant wings flew over the grass, fields, and low thatched huts, and came to the center of the world. Every corner of roads and shops.

"Hurry up, we're going down."

Qin Ruochu closed her eyes, feeling the rapid dive, the huge air vortex scattered her hair and filled her coat.

When Shen Shen's toes touched the ground, the reverse air flow gradually disappeared, Qin Ruochu gulped and began to breathe in air, and Shen Chen supported her to retract her wings.

Qin Ruochu got used to the original place for a while, and when Shen Chen saw that she was fine, he pointed to a building in front of him: "Open that door, and there is the person you are looking for. Because of my status, it is inconvenient to meddle in this matter. Ruochu, The rest of the way is left for you to walk."

"I'll wait for you at the entrance of Songjia Lane, no matter how late it is, I'll be there."

There were dozens or hundreds of people passing by her around, but in Qin Ruochu's eyes, only she and the closed door not far away were left in this world, and the turbid and dark sea water engulfed her. Isolated inside, she couldn't hear human voices or wind, only the murmur of water enveloped her.

With courage and longing, she pushed open the door forcefully.

"Who is it!" Several guards holding knives quickly drew their knives and surrounded her. The crowd outside were so frightened that they bowed their heads and walked past quickly, not daring to stay.

"A distinguished guest is here." The patriarch looked at the girl from the human race carefully from top to bottom, and withdrew the bloody whip: "Maybe a distinguished guest...can't see this kind of scene."

Chu Xinyan was half lying on the ground, her face was haggard and sallow, only her elbows were braced tightly, the cold sweat on her forehead mixed with blood slowly dripped down her thin side cheeks, the gray and white fluff on the carpet was sticky Stained with drops of blood spattered from her body.

Her consciousness was a little fuzzy, and she slowly turned back from this long gap with unresponsiveness, and she saw a familiar silhouette in the backlight.

The man stood on the spot, his fingertips trembling slightly, Chu Xinyan lay on the ground, his eyes gradually swept upwards from a low place, the light outside the door was blocked by a tall figure, and the rest of the light that could not be covered covered her body The entire outline of the body is covered with a soft halo.

Chu Xinyan blinked very slowly with each eye, not so thick drops of blood oozed from the fine eyelashes, and the blood and sweat would fall into the eyes from time to time, making it stinging.

The door was closing, Qin Ruochu's hair fluttered with the door closing, Chu Xinyan's black pupils gradually enlarged, and she finally saw the man's face clearly.

"Go...leave me alone! Go!"

"Who brought you here!"

"Go! Be obedient!"

Consciousness forcibly became clear in an instant, Chu Xinyan pressed the last breath in his chest, and coughed violently after scolding her.

Qin Ruochu's eyes seemed to be fixed on her, she shook her head while weeping, "No, I won't go."

The door was finally closed, and all the light was blocked out of the door, and not a trace of light could leak in.

It's fine if it's not so bright, Chu Xinyan squeezed his eyelids - at least it won't look so embarrassing.

"Go away!"

"Get out of the way!" Qin Ruochu's hands were cut behind her back by the guards, she pulled her shoulders and struggled desperately, wanting to rush forward.

The patriarch ordered with a blank face: "Release."

Qin Ruochu strode to Chu Xinyan's side, and knelt down in front of her. She couldn't even believe that everything in front of her was real, and slowly stretched out her fingers to touch the blood on Chu Xinyan's head.

It's cold.

Some have dried up and stuck to a head of jet-black hair.

"Hurry up... go..." Chu Xinyan tried to push her with his hand, but he lost his strength.

Qin Ruochu grabbed her hand that had been stretched out into the air but fell down, and it was wet and full of bloody smell.

"Don't sleep Xinyan, don't close your eyes, I'll hug you, I'll hug you, don't sleep, okay..." Qin Ruochu pulled her into his arms with difficulty, her clothes were all stained with bright red, but she didn't care, she still acted as if Treasure-like hold people tightly.

"Does this make it warmer?"

"Speak Xinyan, speak."

Chu Xinyan twitched the corner of his mouth weakly, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito: "Warm... peaceful."

"There are still multiple punishments, I will bear them for her." Qin Ruochu hugged Chu Xinyan and clasped her fingers tightly, then turned and said to the superior man.

The man holds up three fingers.

"Three whips."

"However," he said with a smile, "you can't bear a whip."

"According to Chu Xinyan's performance, this time it seems to be weaker than before. It took only seven short lashes to become like this..." The patriarch has been wondering since just now, feeling every time the lash hits Chu Xinyan There seems to be no backlash without the vibration of the crystal nucleus.

He suddenly remembered something, and immediately jumped down from the high platform, picked up Chu Xinyan from Qin Ruochu's hand, and stretched out his hand to float on her chest.

No?

How can it be?

Why didn't Chu Xinyan's crystal nucleus come out?

What about the crystal nucleus?

"Where's your crystal nucleus?! Where did you go!" The patriarch's expression on his face was finally unbearable, and Qin Ruochu's tyrannical nature was unreservedly displayed in front of Qin Ruochu's eyes. She subconsciously took a small step back, and the man's forehead Blue veins burst out, but Chu Xinyan had already fallen into the abyss of consciousness, unable to give him any response.

In desperation, he threw his hands and pushed Chu Xinyan down on Qin Ruochu's body, staring at his scarlet bloodthirsty eyes, like some kind of bloodthirsty beast: "Is it you? Did she lose her crystal nucleus because of you! !"

Qin Ruochu took two steps back in disbelief, Chu Xinyan's full weight was on her body, she shook her head in horror: "No, I don't know what crystal nucleus..."

"How did this happen? What the hell happened..."

The man was very dissatisfied with this answer, so the bloody whip made of countless spiky scales slammed on Chu Xinyan's chest again. Chu Xinyan, who was already in a coma, did not respond, but the black blood oozing from the corner of his mouth thickened again a bit.

Chu Xinyan's injury was particularly serious this time. In the past, when there was a crystal nucleus, it would automatically retract into the cat's body. Because it is small, it can also weaken the injury.And it will be a thousand times more painful in human form than in cat form.

"stop fighting!!"

Qin Ruochu put her down, threw herself on her body, and used his back to bear the next blow.

"She's going to die...she's going to die!! You're still a human!! Do you have a heart..." Qin Ruochu broke down and sobbed as he buried himself in this man's chest, "Chu Xinyan is of the same race as you, these powerful instruments of torture Instead of using it against the enemy who really deserves to be killed, use it against your own people. It's ridiculous!"

"Hahahahaha." The man laughed absurdly: "There are still two whips. I will not beat you, because I have no right to interfere with the human race, but I can make a deal with you."

"The deal is concluded, these two whips are equivalent to you taking it on her behalf."

Qin Ruochu clenched her fists with both hands, and the crackling of her joints was clearly audible. She stood up from the ground and stared at the man fiercely: "Say it."

"I see that you guys are so affectionate, and I'm really touched. Why don't you break up with her, and from then on bridges return to bridges, and roads return to roads. I'll let her go." The man glanced down at Chu Xin and said: "I will secretly find someone to watch you, if I know that you are still in close contact, I will—"

"Okay, I promise you. You save her life, and I will have nothing to do with her from now on."

"But I have a request."

"Oh?"

"I'll make it clear to her after I finish taking care of her injury."

The man raised his eyebrows: "Yes, but there are some things that shouldn't be said—"

"I know what you mean." Qin Ruochu: "Can we leave now?"

"Refreshing." The man standing in front of her turned sideways to make way for them: "Do as you please."

Qin Ruochu pulled her up from the ground, wrapped Chu Xinyan's bloody arm around his neck from the back, and supported her to walk out step by step.

"By the way." Qin Ruochu suddenly stopped, turned his head halfway, and glanced sideways at the blood under his feet: "I forgot to tell you something."

"Do you think Chu Xinyan is the only one who violated the cat clan's ban?" Qin Ruochu snorted coldly: "Send more people to guard Bai Yishu."

"She is enjoying herself in the human world with her girlfriend."

"She's the one who really betrayed you."

"People like this kind of bullying, remember to be tough."

The corner of the man's mouth twitched, and his face darkened again.

After finishing speaking, Qin Ruochu held back his sneer and turned around, dragging his heavy steps away from the dark execution hall again.

People along the way were pointing at them, and Qin Ruochu's dull eyes would often stare back at them wanting to look but not being curious.

The long and protracted bloodstain slowly elongated with the footsteps, and then gradually faded, became shallower, and finally disappeared.

Qin Ruochu dragged Chu Xinyan from daylight to dusk, from people to people, back to the original position.She freed one hand to push the stone wall away, and the sky in the human world was completely dark. As soon as the two of them came out, the stone wall closed automatically.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Shen Shen had already fallen asleep, when he heard the heavy breathing outside the window, he woke up suddenly.

"let me help you."

The two of them worked together to put the seriously injured Chu Xinyan in the back seat of the car, and Qin Ruochu sat on the far side so that it was convenient for Chu Xinyan to rest his head on her lap.

"how so."

Shen Shen started the car, Qin Ruochu glanced at the time on the electronic screen of the car: ten past ten.

Where to go?

Heal her injuries first...

Is it cured?

It's time to say goodbye...

Qin Ruochu silently shed a tear in the dark, and she reported to Shen Shen the address of President Nian's private hospital.

Shen Chen often went there for medical treatment for a while, so he is very familiar with the route.

Nian Shao first asked the nurse to push the person to emergency treatment, and then Shen Shen explained the situation to him.

Their conversation did not avoid Qin Ruochu at all, and the latter just sat at the door of the emergency room as if no one else was there, staring at the three words glowing red in a daze.The memory of last year's Chinese New Year is still very vivid, and at that time she could cowardly hide in Chu Xinyan's arms to draw warmth and strength.

Now she was alone, and Chu Xinyan was lying in it.

"She has no crystal nucleus." Qin Ruochu suddenly interjected in the conversation between Shen Chen and Nian Shao.

"That thing is important to you."

Nian Shao was slightly taken aback, Chu Xinyan's injury was more serious because he did not have the protection of the crystal nucleus, and he had seen the whereabouts of the crystal nucleus with his own eyes.

"If only I knew where it was, I would get it back. This way Xin Yan will get better soon."

Nian Shao struggled for a while, but finally kept the secret.

He just comforted: "I will try my best to save her."

Qin Ruochu replied indifferently: "Okay."

In the emergency room, every second counts, Qin Ruochu dragged her numb body to the vent of the corridor, and called Shang Xiaoke.

Since Shang Xiaoke retired from the entertainment industry, she stayed in the company late every day. The anxiety, unwillingness and resentment at the beginning gradually faded in a year, but if she suddenly remembered it when no one was around, she would still I will cry a lot.

Xiao Ke was sitting in the office with the dim desk lamp on, flipping through the account book with one hand and pressing the calculator with the other, holding the mobile phone between his shoulders: "Chu Chu, why don't you go to bed so late?"

"And you, what are you doing?" Qin Ruochu's voice sounded mechanical and dry.

Shang Xiaoke immediately sensed something was wrong, but still replied: "What else can I do? My dad checked the account for me, and I'm still working overtime at the company!"

Qin Ruochu said sullenly: "Actually, I have a question I haven't asked you for a long time. You...why don't you want to be in the entertainment industry all of a sudden? I remember that you have been desperately looking for a crew to be an extra performer since you were in college."

Shang Xiaoke's fingers holding the pen tightened suddenly, but then relaxed: "Hey. I haven't improved for several years. My mother told me to pay three times the wages of working part-time. I thought that it would be no less than being an actor. I'll be back."

"There's a saying... People make money and birds die for food. I'm just an ordinary person. I don't have any beliefs and ideals that must be realized. Poetry and distant places are bullshit in front of reality and money." Shang Xiao Ke tried her best to sound more relaxed, trying to deceive Qin Ruochu as well as herself.

"Besides, with you being so popular in the entertainment circle, my dream can be regarded as being realized with your help. It's fine."

"Stop talking, this topic is boring. What do you want from me?"

"There is a long story, I want to tell you." Qin Ruochu held onto the cold railing, the cool wind hit her face indiscriminately, and her gaze was fixed on the faintly visible stars in the sky beyond the tall buildings in front of her. .

Time passed by every minute and every second, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to four or five years ago. In the void, Qin Ruochu took Shang Xiaoke's hand and walked step by step from time to present.Every step and every fork in the road is a causally connected choice, so until now, no one is irrelevant.

Qin Ruochu hung up the phone, the lights in the emergency room were still on, she sat in the corridor and closed her eyes silently.The darkness had completely engulfed her, and she was unobtrusive in the shadows.

On the other side, Shang Xiaoke overturned all the ledgers on the table, and stabbed the calculator beside his hand fiercely with the tip of his pen.

Catharsis, impulse, cooling, silence.

In the end, the trouble was enough, the short hair was messy and sticking to the face covered with tears, Shang Xiaoke curled himself up into a small ball, and huddled in the corner of the office.

Sitting like this until dawn, the tears dried up, she rubbed her face casually, and dialed the number marked as "wife".

The phone rang twice and got through.

"Bai Yishu, let's break up."

The author has something to say: I took the time to write for a few days and finally wrote enough words for a chapter.

Bai's chasing wife crematorium has been arranged!
