[Rat cat] Mirror City

On the day when Chen Mu was about to leave, the weather was gloomy and not good.Zhan Zhao stood in the yard, looked up at the gray sky, always felt that there was something pressing in his heart, a bad feeling stuck in his chest, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

"Cat, don't stand outside, it might rain later." Bai Yutang came out of the room, wrapped his long arms around Zhan Zhao's shoulders, and used this posture to lead Zhan Zhao backwards Back down the corridor.

Looking at the gloomy weather, Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang uneasily, "Chen Mu and the others really want to go out in this weather?" Looking at the weather, it might rain at night.

Bai Yutang also looked at the gray sky solemnly, "Well, they were supposed to set off before noon, but because Xu Shuyan was not in a good mood, they were delayed until now."

"Then Xu Yuqi...is still locked in the small courtyard, right?" Zhan Zhao asked uncertainly.In fact, when Xu Yuqi hysterically asked Chen Mu and the others not to leave the day before yesterday, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were also there.

They saw with their own eyes that this originally calm woman yelled and screamed desperately in front of the people they loved the most, and was even slapped by her sister and imprisoned by her father.

Everything about her was out of control. In Xu Shuyan's eyes, she became "only thinking that she is qualified to go", in Xu's father's eyes, it became "willful resistance because she couldn't go", and in Chen Mu's eyes , no matter what it is, it is powerless.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang just kept watching, because they knew that their presence would not help the current situation.Xu Yuqi didn't welcome them, and Chen Mu didn't know them during the day.

The two of them tried to find Chen Mu at night, but Xu Shuyan's condition was not very good these few nights, his mood was very unstable, and he could hardly sleep at night.Chen Mu could only stay by her side, as long as he took a small step away, Xu Shuyan would wake up, not to mention the slightest voice.

Only at the turn of day and night did Chen Mu find a little space to tell Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to visit Xu Yuqi while he was away.

Looking at each other, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang decided to go find Xu Yuqi.Because of Xu Yuqi's abnormal behavior, after seeing the other side of her that was hidden under the vivaciousness, they felt that there must be a reason behind her behavior.

This was the first time they stepped into Xu Yuqi's small courtyard in so many days.There were two servants guarding the door, and Father Xu also arranged a servant to watch at each window.With such an arrangement, Xu Yuqi is hard to fly.

Walking into the door, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang heard the sound of something bumping into the room.The servants at the door were also surprised, but they still didn't open the door. They had heard this voice two days ago. They rushed in worriedly a few times before, but Xu Yuqi almost grabbed the gap and ran out.

And this movement has been going on for two days.After a while, they will be able to complete the task of guarding Xu Yuqi, and they cannot take risks here.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang rushed into Xu Yuqi's room, only to see that the whole room was in a mess, the teacup on the table, and the books on the desk all fell to the ground, and Xu Yuqi just fell to the ground, with a person behind her. A stool that was knocked over.Presumably the loud noise just now was because Xu Yuqi tripped over this stool.

However, this appearance is really just a trip?Seeing Xu Yuqi's appearance, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt that she had been knocked away.And the situation is somewhat familiar.

Xu Yuqi finally noticed that there were two more people in the room.She raised her head, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang couldn't explain the surprise in her eyes, "You guys! How did you get in here?"

"Us?" Zhan Zhao asked strangely, pointing to the door, "It's through this door."

"What?" Hearing what Zhan Zhao said, Xu Yuqi's expression became even more surprised. She stood up again and slammed into the door again.

When Xu Yuqi approached the door, Bai Yutang keenly noticed a slight movement on the door.Bai Yutang immediately said, "Be careful!"

But while speaking, Xu Yuqi had already slammed into the door, and a clear barrier appeared on the door, just like that, Xu Yuqi was knocked back.

When being knocked back, Xu Yuqi bumped into the table and made another loud noise.Zhan Zhao stared dumbfounded at the development of this plot, and he finally understood why Xu Yuqi fell so hard when he didn't see the door being smashed.

Being knocked open again, the servant at the door could only persuade, "Miss, please don't do this, it will be fine in a while..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Yuqi rushed to the door again, pounding on the wooden door again and again, "Let me out, why don't you let me out! Please, let me out!"

The servant outside the door just shook his head helplessly when he heard Xu Yuqi's voice.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stood inside the door, watching Xu Yuqi's every move.

Perhaps the people outside the door heard that Xu Yuqi was fighting against them.However, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang could feel that Xu Yuqi was fighting against other people, and they remembered the night before, the sound of trees that sounded for no reason.

If it was just speculation before, now it is confirmation.In this dream, besides Xu Yuqi, there is another special existence who can stand against Xu Yuqi.

"You can't get out." Really couldn't stand it anymore, Zhan Zhao couldn't help persuading Xu Yuqi, after all Xu Yuqi's appearance was really unbearable.

"Can't get out, can't get out, can't get out..." As if struck by a demon, Xu Yuqi slumped against the door with his back weakly, and buried his head in his knees.

"Hey..." Zhan Zhao stepped forward worriedly, reaching out to Xu Yuqi to pat her on the shoulder.Suddenly, Xu Yuqi's shoulder moved.

Before Bai Yutang realized something was wrong and had time to pull Zhan Zhao back, Xu Yuqi suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhan Zhao's wrist.Zhan Zhao only felt that he was locked by a line of sight and couldn't move his whole body, and his wrist was aching, which showed how much strength Xu Yuqi had used.

Xu Yuqi looked at the two of them mournfully, "Please, stop him." Of course he was referring to Chen Mu.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't understand why Xu Yuqi was so anxious.

Xu Yuqi stood up, and excitedly grabbed Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's wrists, "Please, stop him! Don't let him go, don't let him go!" The fear, despair, and grief in his heart were like huge waves that would sweep the building away. All the long-standing dams were washed away, and desperate emotions poured out, "Otherwise he will die!"

Death, the word was thrown into Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's bewildered consciousness like this, and then they all exploded at once, and Xu Yuqi completely persuaded both emotion and reason in the first place.

At the end of Xu Yuqi's words, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang rushed out of the room with the fastest speed, and even made the servants at the door feel an unnatural air current.

Death, the word was placed in front of him like this, if Chen Mu was not stopped, he would die.At that moment, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt something ringing in their heads, urging them to grit their teeth and chase to the door of Xu Mansion.

But some things are often staggered like this.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang chased to the gate of Xu's residence, but the carriage carrying the three members of the Xu family had already walked towards the street.

Once they reached the intersection, they couldn't stop Chen Mu.Alarm bells were ringing in his heart, and he followed the carriage closely, Zhan Zhao shouted, "Chen Mu, don't go!"

But the sound of hoofbeats became louder, and the swaying and disturbing noises of the chariots and horses even forcibly covered Zhan Zhao's voice.But they didn't give up.

At this time, the people in the carriage seemed to feel something, and stretched out their hands to lift the curtain.As long as there is another second, the people in the carriage will look out.

The dawn of hope was abruptly cut off by the reappearing transparent barrier, and Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang crashed into the barrier and disappeared at the intersection.The air just fluctuated strangely, and then calmed down again.

Chen Mu raised the car curtain and looked out, frowning, strangely.

"Sir, what's the matter?" Seeing Chen Mu leaning out of the carriage in a daze, Xu Shuyan asked worriedly.

"It's nothing." Chen Mu withdrew his hand and sat down again, "I seem to have heard someone call me just now." But seeing that there was nothing outside, it should be just an illusion.

Hearing what Chen Mu said, Xu Shuyan moved his lips, and finally swallowed the words that came to his lips—I'm afraid, you should still read Yuqi.

The carriage fell silent again, Xu Shuyan and Chen Mu fell into silence again, neither of them planned to take the initiative to talk to each other about other topics.

In another place, it was dead silent.

After Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang broke through the barrier, they reappeared in Xu Yuqi's room.

At that time, Xu Yuqi was still anxiously standing in the center of the room.She could hear the sound of the servant unloading the door lock, and she could see the figure of the servant leaving from the window. When the apology on Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's faces was imprinted in her eyes, Xu Yuqi's whole world roared, and the blood red exploded before her eyes. , and then fell into dead silence.

His legs had long lost the strength to support him, his soul was gone, and Xu Yuqi sat on the ground limply, not even noticing that his palm was cut by the fragments of the teacup.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang knew, she already knew.

When Xu Yuqi's personal maid entered the room, she saw Xu Yuqi sitting on the ground with bleeding palms. She immediately knelt beside Xu Yuqi, holding her hand, "Miss, why did you hurt your hand?"

And Xu Yuqi's response was just to shake off her hand mercilessly, "Get out!" The maid flinched a bit, but still mustered up the courage to persuade, "Miss, your hand..."

"I said it!" Xu Yuqi raised his head and looked at her coldly.This time, the maid didn't have the courage to speak again, so she could only stumble out of the room.

"He has already left. Together with your sister and your father." Bai Yutang opened his mouth, reminding Xu Yuqi of this fact, "No matter how much trouble you make, the result will be the same."

"The same, the same, haha, the same!" Hearing Bai Yutang's words, Xu Yuqi laughed wildly, tears came out of his laughter, and he trembled from laughing, "I've done so many things, and they're all the same."

"No, it's not the same." She has given so much, she has done so much, she has changed so much, why can't she be allowed to do more.

Xu Yuqi ran out of the courtyard without looking back.Fearing that Xu Yuqi would do something to hurt him, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also chased him out.

But this small courtyard seemed to be going against the three of them abruptly, making up their minds to keep them in Xu's residence.Not only Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, but even Xu Yuqi couldn't walk across the street.

No matter how many times they broke in, the result was the same, they just rushed out of the street repeatedly, but returned to the street again, facing outward and inward, the door plaque of Xu Mansion seemed to mock them for wasting their efforts.

"Let me go, let me go!" Xu Yuqi's voice was a little hoarse, but she ignored it completely.Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stood aside, but they couldn't stop her.

At this time, the surrounding scene blurred.Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were already familiar with the feeling of suddenly losing support under their feet.The eyes were only blurred for a moment, and they had already returned to the backyard, standing in front of the apricot tree they had woken up before.

As soon as they saw this apricot tree, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang understood where the sound of the tree came from.And this tree became mysterious again in the eyes of the two of them.

Seeing this tree, Xu Yuqi finally stopped being so excited, but she just put away all the thorns all over her body and aimed at the same place.

"Let me go." Xu Yuqi said.

The apricot tree suddenly shook, the leaves rustled and made a low-pitched sound, and the strange air flow crawled over the skin, making people tense all over.Without wind, the apricot tree was telling Xu Yuqi its rejection.

"You already stopped me, you just let him go!" Xu Yuqi turned a blind eye to its rejection, but insisted, "I already let him go, I can't give up."

The apricot tree shook even more violently, and the leaves fell from the branches, but they brushed against Xu Yuqi's body at an extremely fast speed.A fallen leaf brushed against Xu Yuqi's cheek, cutting Xu Yuqi's cheek just like that.This is its warning.

Another fallen leaf flew towards Xu Yuqi's eyes, and Xu Yuqi directly raised his hand to hold the leaf, leaving blood on his already cut palm.

Zhan Zhao couldn't bear to watch from the side, the apricot tree had no intention of hurting Xu Yuqi, it just wanted to warn her.Zhan Zhao was sure that the apricot leaf would stop.But Xu Yuqi grabbed the leaf with his hand abruptly.

Xu Yuqi's bloody hand was so shocking at night.Zhan Zhao unconsciously took a step forward, but Bai Yutang held down his shoulder.Bai Yutang shook his head at Zhan Zhao, it was just their confrontation, the two of them could not intervene.

Beads of blood dripped to the ground along the cracks of the palms, and the dark clouds that had accumulated for a day covered them blackly. The sky exploded with thunder and thunder, and the rain poured down, washing away everything under the sky.

The rain seeped into the wound, Xu Yuqi gritted his teeth tightly due to the tingling pain, the blood mixed with the rain, soaked into the soil and disappeared.

Xu Yuqi tightened her palms, the pain of the cut made her more conscious and forced her to be more determined, "I know, you are telling me what will happen if you forcefully change the past, but I can't give up. They will die, Chen Mu, Sister, father, they are all innocent."

"I don't know who you are, maybe you are just guarding the order here, but I am different from you. Unlike you, they are all people I love, I care about their life and death, let me go, they will die of!"

In response to Xu Yuqi's words, the apricot tree shook violently like never before.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang could even feel the ground trembling under their feet, as if the roots of the apricot tree were about to break through the ground.

This was probably the most violent reaction Xingshu gave so far. They didn't know what it meant, maybe it was a severe rejection, maybe it was anger at Xu Yuqi.After this violent reaction, there was a long silence.

There was nothing in the courtyard except the sound of rain.It seemed as if nothing had happened just now, and the three people in the courtyard were just unfortunately caught in heavy rain in the courtyard, and were trapped in the rain and could not move an inch.

Could it be that the matter has really reached the point where it can no longer be undone?The light of hope in Xu Yuqi's eyes dimmed little by little, he let go of his hand, and the leaves in his palm were brought to the ground by the rain.

At this moment, the sound of trees sounded again, behind the sound of rain, it was so light, so light, as if it was a sigh, powerless against Xu Yuqi's persistence.

In the rain curtain, circles of ripples that were clearly discernible to the naked eye rose, and then dispersed to the outside of Xu Mansion at an extremely fast speed.Then, both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt their bodies lighten at the same time, as if a certain restriction that had been suppressed on their bodies was lifted in this way.

At this moment, they understood that they were already able to leave the Xu residence.Xu Yuqi shed tears of excitement, knelt down on the ground, and bowed gratefully to the apricot tree, "Thank you."

The rain is getting heavier.In the carriage, Chen Mu became worried when he heard the sound of rainwater hitting the roof of the carriage.Such a rainy day is not suitable for traveling.

When the curtain was lifted, the driver was already drenched.Chen Mu persuaded, "It's raining so hard, it's better not to go, find a place to shelter from the rain."

They did not ride in the same carriage as Xu's father, the road was very narrow, and it was not suitable for two carriages to come and go.Because of the rain, the speed of the two carriages slowed down.The sight is not clear and the road surface is slippery. Driving at night like this is likely to be dangerous.

The driver struggled to tighten the reins and drove, "My lord, it's not that I don't want to. We have already missed the inn where we stayed. This is a mountain road, and there is no place to shelter from the rain. If we want to rest, we can only climb over this mountain. to find a place to stay.”

Just a moment after talking, the night wind poured rainwater into his mouth and nose, and the coachman coughed in pain, but he didn't dare to let go of the reins in his hand at all.If it loosened a bit, the horse would run wild.On rainy days like this, they just want to find a place to shelter from the rain.

"My lord, you can go into the carriage first, it's windy outside." The coachman took the reins with both hands, and the carriage turned a corner.As a last resort, Chen Mu had no choice but to return to the carriage.

In the carriage, Xu Shuyan was resting on her side wrapped in a cloak. Traveling in such a rainy day would only put a huge burden on her body, and Chen Mu couldn't bear to look at it.

Wanting to see if she had a fever, Chen Mu reached out to Xu Shuyan's forehead, and it turned out that just as he thought, Xu Shuyan really had a fever.

Chen Mu's fingertips were cold, Xu Shuyan sighed comfortably, opened his eyes, and heard the sound of rain outside the carriage in a daze, and his head hurt again.

"You have a little fever." Chen Mu took a cushion and put it behind Xu Shuyan, "It's raining outside, so the situation may not be very good. You can only rest after crossing this mountain, and I will find a doctor for you then."

"Well, thank you." Xu Shuyan thanked calmly. Hearing the sound of rain outside the carriage, he felt something was wrong. "I remember that the sound of rain was not so loud before I fell asleep." He raised the curtain of the car as he spoke.

"Well, it's getting bigger and bigger, and the situation may not be good." Chen Mu felt more and more uneasiness in his heart, and all the uneasiness condensed into fear that made him tremble after hearing Xu Shuyan's exclamation.

"Sir, look outside." Xu Shuyan pointed out the window.

Chen Mu looked out, and through the rain curtain, he saw that the mountain that Xu Shuyan was pointing at had rolled down gravel due to the washing of the rain.Right now, a large rock is being loosened from its original position under the washing of the rain, and it is constantly rolling down.

"No!" Xu Shuyan exclaimed!

Regardless of Sanqi 21, Chen Mu rushed out of the carriage and shouted at the driver, "Stop! Stop the carriage in front too! Stop!"

Their carriage stopped, but the carriage carrying Xu's father was completely unaware of the danger.

"Father! Stop!" Xu Shuyan rushed out of the rain, but could only watch helplessly as the big rock fell on the roof of the carriage carrying Xu's father.

At that moment, she felt her whole world collapsed.So much so that she didn't hear the coachman's shouts of "the horse is startled", but she just felt as if she was knocked down, and she leaned back, but there was nothing under her.

It seemed that someone wanted to hold her hand, it was Chen Mu, and she seemed to have seen Xu Yuqi's face.
