Half-dead paulownia

The color of sorrowful autumn, the feeling of desolation, on the vast and misty river, a lone boat is hidden and ethereal, and the chilling air invades and passes by. It is the coldness that penetrates deep into the muscles and bones. There is nowhere to rest the lonely body and mind, and there is no warmth to be found.

Anling Yuhao and the others clearly saw that Luo Shengchuan was the only one left on the boat. It seemed that it was easier to escape alone. Since Xiao Jinmo had already achieved the goal of leaving safely, then he was worthless. It would drag himself down, it would be more appropriate to just throw him away.

"Xiao Jinmo, it's Xiao Jinmo." Guiyue, ignoring her own injury, desperately ran towards the river, leaving only Anling Yuhao with a dazed expression on her face.

Ye Lan, who was always by my side, did not know when she left Anling Yuhao. Without too much speculation, she knew that he must be looking for Duguao. After so many years of life and death, the two met again. Didn't expect it to be this way.

Seeing that the desperate Guiyue had already dived into the water, Anling Yuhao just smiled disdainfully, but also with a bit of bitterness, "I'm obviously injured, so I still want to save others?"

As if laughing at other people's ignorance, he turned around and walked back, secretly deciding in his heart that he should order his subordinates to rush to Yan Chikou in Luo Shengchuan, and inform the soldiers there of the false news that Master Luo was dead, and then tell the soldiers The imperial court wants to reintegrate the army and reduce their power.

Xiao Jinmo's face suddenly flashed in his mind, the spotless tranquility, the ethereal spirit full of aura, with the dripping of bright red blood between the brows, something seemed to flow from the corner of Anling Yuhao's eyes, a little unconsciously He touched his face, what warmed up the bleak autumn, what wetted the pervasive dryness?

Gradually stopped, turned around and ran towards the river, "I just want to know what is so special about Xiao Jinmo that makes Guiyue so persistent? Or does he have more information about Luo Shengchuan?" The secret, I just need to know more." Anling Yuhao told himself over and over again that the only reason to go back to save them was for the capital of Anling.

When he rushed back to the river, there was no one there, it was as quiet as death, only the sound of the river flowing.

"Ghost Moon?" Anling Yuhao yelled incredulously, but it took only a while, why both of them disappeared, "Xiao Jinmo?" He also tentatively called this strange name, but there was still no one. respond.

With a bad premonition in his heart, the brigade also rushed to the riverside at this time, and immediately ordered people to go into the water to salvage, but they found nothing after all.

(in the cave)

The sky is hazy and the mist is clear, and the mountain stream in the evening always looks mysterious like a fairyland, with melodious singing and echoing echoes.

A bonfire illuminated the dark cave, and also ignited a warmth, and the wooden racks set up next to it were drying some dripping clothes.

"Ah Choo!" A soft sneeze sounded from beside her ears, but it also made Guiyue a little worried.

Hastily picked up the bonfire more violently, so that the frail man in front of him would not be so cold. Looking at the shivering body of Xiao Jinmo who was unconscious, Guiyue lifted Xiao Jinmo up with some heartache, trying to lift him up. Move closer to the flame.

Suddenly feeling a pair of slender hands hugging her arms tightly, Guiyue was startled, and hurriedly lowered her head to look at Xiao Jinmo who was in her arms, and sure enough, he had slightly opened his eyes, only because of being soaked in cold water , and made this frail and sickly man look even more haggard at the moment.

"I??? You???" A hoarse voice came from his throat, but he couldn't say anything clearly, but the light in his eyes showed that Xiao Jinmo was out of danger.

"Stop talking. Because of soaking in the river for too long, your throat may be hurt. If you need something, just gesture." A stone in Guiyue's heart finally fell to the ground. He was always worried that Xiao Jinmo would be like this He fell asleep all the time, and suddenly remembered his amnesia, and continued, "In Xiaguiyue, don't be too polite with me. Although I look much older, we can still be friends."

Xiao Jinmo smiled naturally when he heard Guiyue's intentional joke, as if he didn't have any doubts about the person in front of him, and then nodded.

"Are you hungry? I just bought some food nearby, and this autumn is indeed a good harvest season." Guiyue got up and stretched, rubbed her stomach, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Hearing what to eat, Xiao Jinmo immediately looked at Guiyue excitedly, "Don't worry, it's not those small animals, it's this???" How could Guiyue not understand Xiao Jinmo's thoughts, so she didn't Going to hunt some animals.

I got a few burnt black things out of the fire, squatted down impatiently and hit them with small stones, and they cracked after only one or two blows. It turned out that the black paste outside was just mud, but the inside was wrapped up. The most delicious is the tender sweet potato.

The autumn wind sneaked into the night, the lonely moon hung in the sky, and the clothes were finally a little dry, which could resist the cold night, but in this cave, I couldn't feel any warmth at all.

Guiyue put her clothes on Xiao Jinmo who was curled up in a ball, and then hugged him who was about to struggle, and hugged her warm chest fiercely, "I can borrow you for a while, can you Don't have any unreasonable thoughts." It seemed like a joke, but it also resolved all the embarrassment.

"When I was young, I heard a saying that you can only feel warmth if you hug each other." Guiyue suddenly said with emotion.

Xiao Jinmo turned his head slightly, and stared at Guiyue intently, but his eyes were full of curiosity.

"That is a woman, and a mother said that she has the most amazing appearance in the world, she has tolerance that no woman in the world can have, and she has wisdom that is unmatched in the world, but what she desires the most is Yes, it's just the most common love in the world." Guiyue used four worlds in a row, just to attribute everything to her, because he knew that she could bear all the words.

"Back when she was pregnant with Liujia, in order to keep the most important child in her life, she specially invited a world-renowned doctor who is well-known in the world to give birth to her, but she would never know that this was just the beginning of a conspiracy. "Guiyue's eyes were a little deep, "That is a boy of eight or nine years old, his name is Long Fei, he is the only closed disciple of the Taoist doctor, and during that time, his daily task was to deliver anti-fetal drugs to her, However, Long Fei never knew that the pill in his hand turned out to be the poison that made him feel guilty all his life."

Guiyue picked up the dry firewood at hand, and filled some more into the fire, and the jumping flames couldn't help jumping high, illuminating all the darkness in the cave, and the sound of burning disturbed the calm.

"That's just his master's new experiment. Whether it succeeds or not is related to the safety of the entire rivers and lakes. It is a peerless treasure that can set off a bloodbath, but it just needs one person's attempt, and the woman who was sent here started the experiment." Unfortunately." Guiyue fell into the memory, and hadn't had such a serious expression for a long time, "The Taoist priest was obsessed with refining medicine, ignored Long Fei like a madman, and almost stopped asking about his health and talking all night long, but that However, this mother always took good care of Long Fei, as if giving her love for her unborn child to the boy who came every day, leaving warm meals for him, telling him interesting stories, watching him The thin winter clothes, he hugged him without hesitation, even sewed winter cotton clothes for him overnight, and personally taught him how to eat delicious sweet potatoes??? "

Xiao Jinmo completely saw Guiyue's painful expression, almost choked up and couldn't continue speaking, but took a deep breath and continued.

"So when Long Fei overheard a conversation between a mysterious person and his master, he could no longer control the excitement and despair in his heart. Although he knew that the elixir was not enough to hurt that mother, he also understood that it was not enough to hurt the mother. The huge impact of the fetus will ruin his life." Guiyue said solemnly, "That child is only eight or nine years old, how can he change everything? Even if he knows everything, what can he do? He didn't dare to disobey his master, and he couldn't bear to see that woman get hurt. The only thing he could do was to leave this place, because he really didn't have the courage to face all this, but he secretly swore in his heart that if God gave him a chance, he would wait When he is able, he will definitely repay it and compensate the innocent fetus in his womb, even if he has to pay everything, he will be willing to do so, because it is a bad debt."

Xiao Jinmo calmly listened to Guiyue's narration, but there was inexplicable sadness and shock in his eyes, his slightly wrinkled brows split his injured and scabbed brows again, and the bright red blood drew a beautiful arc .

"You??? You are Long Fei!" Xiao Jinmo struggled out of Guiyue's arms, and suddenly spoke slowly, his voice was low and hoarse, but it was not a question, but a tone of affirmation.

Guiyue gently closed her eyes, and tried her best to adjust her breathing, as if she was released after holding back for too long, and her mood could not be calm for a long time.

"What happened to that woman after that, what about the fetus in her womb?" Xiao Jinmo continued to ask, as if he was even more curious about the answer.

"I just know that the fetus survived miraculously, but because of the elixir, he suffered from a chronic illness since he was a child. It is a toxin that no one can cure, because it is not an ordinary poison, but the only treasure in the world. , is a live poison developed by the Taoist priest with his whole life." Guiyue said with some helplessness.

"Where is that woman, where is that woman?" Xiao Jinmo asked nervously.

"It's already getting late, we have to go on the road tomorrow, let's rest." Guiyue finally escaped from the memory, and seemed unwilling to continue this topic coldly.

"Guiyue, tell me..." Xiao Jinmo suddenly had a pleading tone, and his eyes looked anxious and uneasy.

"Xiao Jinmo, you???" Guiyue noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Jinmo's mood. Instead of the calmness just now, there was excitement and anxiety. Seeing that the blood between his brows had been wantonly smeared all over his fair skin. face, I can't help but reach out and want to wipe it off.

Xiao Jinmo suddenly pulled out a handful of burning long logs from the fire and held it in his hand, pointing straight at Guiyue's body, "Don't come here!" shouted a little excitedly.

"Xiao Jinmo?" Guiyue didn't know why Xiao Jinmo acted like this, maybe she forgot who she was again and started to protect herself.
