Bai Qian changed a square towel, soaked it in ice water to wipe the palms of the person on the bed.The heat was taken away by the coolness on the surface, but it didn't take long for it to rise again.No IV drips, no antibiotics, no hyperbaric chamber therapy.After being severely burned, it seemed that he could only wait for God's will. Bai Qian had never believed in ghosts and gods, but at this moment he couldn't help but want to kneel down and pray for the person on the bed.

If only he could kneel.

The woman I met in the teahouse couldn't help persuading: "My lord, you can also go and rest for a while, I will guard here."

Bai Qian raised his eyelids slightly, then his gaze fell again, and he said in a deep voice, "I've had enough sleep."

"You haven't closed your eyes for a few days..."

Bai Qian didn't know who he was going to tell, his tone was soft, like a ghost in the dark: "Before that, I slept all night."

The man seemed to want to sigh, but he held it in his throat, and retreated lightly.Bai Qian shouted: "Please, close the door."

After all, he couldn't hold back the sigh, overflowing from the corner of his mouth, and the room was filled with maddening depression.Bai Qian wet the kerchief again, and wiped the palms of the person on the bed, hoping that the high fever would stop in the next second, and that he would see the alive and kicking people in the next moment.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when the moon is full.The Mu family was destroyed, and only this one survived.

Bai Qian repeated this action mechanically, carefully and gently.

Jingxi pushed the door open, and the subordinate who called him was a little embarrassed, so he quickly escaped after covering the door for him.Jing Xi took a few steps forward, and saw that Bai Qian's hands were red with cold, his knuckles were stiff, and he kept dipping and wiping his palms clumsily.A burst of fire sprang up from the restless heart, as if it wanted to burn everything and drag the world to be buried with it.

Without any explanation, Jingxi roughly grabbed Bai Qian's wrist, forcing him to stop.As before, Bai Qian slightly raised his eyelids, tilted his head slightly, and saw Jingxi's side face and jaw.

Bai Qian's tone was not intense: "Let go."

Jingxi felt that this distraught face was an eyesore, and said sharply: "Leave these things to the people below, why should you demean yourself!"

Bai Qian repeated: "Let go."

"So what if you don't let go!"

Bai Qian raised his eyebrows: "Break my hand? Just like before, break my leg. Isn't it all easy."

Jingxi also didn't sleep for several days, and the blue eyes showed his exhaustion.Bai Qian was fine, but he was just sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, lost in thought. Since he forcibly took Bai Qian away, he ran around dealing with affairs without stopping.It was rare that he had a free time, and when his subordinates came to report, he got up to visit Bai Qian again.

Jing Xi shook off Bai Qian's arm irritably, turned around and sat down on the chair.Bai Qian was dragged down on the bed by inertia, and sat up in a panic, fearing that he would press on the wound of the person on the bed.

Bai Qian said sarcastically: "You just see me as a cripple who is easy to bully."

Jingxi rubbed her eyebrows: "I don't."

Bai Qian just talked about himself: "You can't walk because I don't have legs, so you can do whatever you want."

Jingxi slapped the table with one hand in an instant, shaking the teapots and porcelain cups on the table: "I said it! I didn't!"

Bai Qian's shoulders were straight, stretched into a straight line, the corners of his mouth were frivolous, and he gave a chuckle of "huh".

Jingxi was also taken aback by her own actions, and suppressed the emotions in her heart, Jingxi tried her best to calm down her voice: "Bai Qian, you are not happy in your heart, you can vent it out."

Bai Qian didn't speak.Jingxi continued to rub the center of her eyebrows, then waved her hands over the porcelain on the table with anger, stepped on the debris and slammed the door away.

Bai Qian continued to soak the handkerchief in the ice water, holding the hand of the person on the bed, his palm was hot, as if he brought himself back into the fire again.

Jingxi went back and forth, kicking the debris with her toes, making a crisp sound.Jingxi tried to calm herself down: "Bai Qian, we need to talk."

Bai Qian asked back: "What are you talking about? Don't you always like to talk?"

Jingxi felt sad being stabbed by him, and asked in a cold voice: "Do you have to do this!"

The subordinate came in to clean up the debris, Jingxi waved: "Get out!" The woman immediately backed out in a hurry, and closed the door with a wink.

Bai Qian didn't seem to want to speak, but Jing Xi took the initiative instead: "I also don't want to see the Mu family suffer this tragedy."

Bai Qian asked: "Then why didn't you say it in advance!"

Jingxi's voice darkened slightly: "I'm not sure."

Bai Qian shook his head, his fingers clenched the scarf very tightly: "Why didn't you save people after something happened?"

Jingxi paused slightly: "It's too late."

"It's too late?" Bai Qian pointed at the person on the bed, his voice was almost shrill, "Then why is Yue Guan lying here? Didn't she survive? Why didn't you save her! It wouldn't have turned into this one step earlier!"

Being pointed at by the fingertips, Mu Yueguan lay there unconscious.Gauze was wrapped around the neck and cheeks, and the strong smell of herbs diffused, making people terrified and unable to bear to look directly.

Bai Qian asked, "Is it really too late?"

Jingxi replied firmly: "Yes."

The fingers couldn't be tighter, on the verge of reaching the limit, Bai Qian suddenly raised his hand and overturned the copper basin.The water splashed in all directions and landed on the ground. It fell on the skin a few points, and the coolness penetrated the heart.Bai Qian finally vented out as Jingxi wished.

"What the hell is going on in your mind! You're not sure, you're too late, you just follow your own ideas! Can you ask someone else's opinion? Can you tell me what you want to do?"

Jingxi wiped away the water droplets on her cheeks, and lowered her brows, as if she was wiping tears.

Bai Qian roared: "You're not sure, so you don't say anything! Wait until all the people in the Mu Mansion are dead, all of them are dead! Are you sure?"

Jingxi defended: "I never expected Zeng Bo to be drunk and mistaken..."

"It's a mistake, right? Blame him, right? Can you explain in advance whether he will still drink!?" Bai Qian was panting for breath, and continued, "You want to save Tianshu, trade me for him, I have nothing to say. You What if someone hijacks me and tells me in advance?"

Jingxi was silent.

Bai went to the front and said: "You want to expose that underground workshop, you also have your own set of ideas, you don't have to say anything, just do what you want. Can you ask me in advance, it's not that I don't want to cooperate with you ah!"

Jingxi's expression was stiff, obviously Bai Qian poked a pain point.

"You always have your own ideas, which one didn't you? What was the result? Which one was successful? Did it succeed? The first time I almost lost my life, and the second time I completely crippled this leg. What about this time? Hundreds of lives have been lost in the Mu family! Mu Qingjian is missing, and Mu Yue looks like a girl! Just because you are 'not sure', all of them are gone! What are you pretending to be in your head!"

Jingxi's gaze finally fell on Mu Yueguan's face, and he spoke out in a difficult sentence: "Mu Yueguan will be rescued, and I also sent someone to look for Mu Qingjian. The Mu family will never fall. "

Bai Qian angrily pushed down the wooden frame at hand, and the carved round frame flipped over and hit the copper basin, and there was another loud noise: "You don't understand human language, do you! You're still talking to yourself even now! "

Jing Xi's eyes sank, fixed on Bai Qian's lap, and shouted sharply: "What did you do?"

Bai Qian was slightly stunned, and looked down to see that the hem of the outer robe was pulled up, revealing the light blue middle coat.Bai Qian raised his hand to hide it, but Jing Xi took the lead to hold down his arm, and pulled down his pants with the other hand.

There were several stab wounds on the knee of the right leg and the stump of the left leg. The wounds were short but extremely deep, as if they were stabbed once and stopped.Jingxi looked at Bai Qian's leg, the blood was still oozing out, so he forgot the visual discomfort caused by the stump.

Jingxi's voice dropped to freezing point, and the veins on his forehead burst out: "What is this!"

Bai Qian suddenly lost his strength, like a slack balloon, and his whole body was like a withered plant.Bai Qian said: "It has nothing to do with you."

Jingxi was so angry that she trembled all over, but she didn't know how to vent it.He was angry because Bai Qian harmed himself and hurt himself, let alone hurt him again.Unintentionally, the hand that suppressed Bai Qian became more and more forceful, almost breaking Bai Qian's hand.

Bai Qian murmured: "Don't look at me."

Seeing that his expression became more and more wrong, and his breathing became more and more rapid, Jingxi felt a thump in his heart.In his eyes, Bai Qian had always been weak and sick, but apart from his physical disability, he never knew what disease Bai Qian had.

Bai Qian's breathing became more and more rapid, and the frequency accelerated. He curled up his body, and quickly covered his lower body with his hands that had just escaped from confinement.Jingxi took off her coat and covered his lap, and called the doctor in.

The doctor took a cloth bag and covered Bai Qian's face, and comforted Bai Qian's back, "Please relax, don't be nervous."

It took a long time before Bai Qian gradually calmed down, slumped at the end of the bed, exhausted all over.Jingxi hugged him and let him lean in her arms.

The doctor bowed and replied, "This is shortness of breath caused by tension, and it's not a serious problem."

Jingxi seemed to be exhausted as well, so she waved her hand to let people out: "Save some medicine for the knife wound."

When everyone goes out, the door is also closed.Jingxi let go of Bai Qian, squatted beside him, and went to lift the clothes off his lap.

Bai Qian pressed the cotton coat on his lap, refusing to let go.

Jingxi said in a deep voice, "I just give you the medicine, so you can relax."

Bai Qian shook his head: "No need."

Jingxi's anger flared up again, and she frowned and reprimanded: "It's better not to take medicine! You must demean yourself!?"

Bai Qian bowed his head, after all this tossing, the aggressiveness just now disappeared: "I am an accomplice. I..."

Bai Qian raised his head and met Shang Jingxi's eyes: "I hate myself for being useless."

Jingxi was shocked, and only then did he understand what breaking his prosthetic limb meant to him.

Jingxi handed him the medicine: "You rub it yourself. Hundreds of people in the Mu family died. You and I are both at fault, but it's not your fault."

Bai Qian didn't move.

Jingxi put the medicine on his lap, and said in a deep voice: "I'll tell you in advance what I'm going to do. Minglian, Gui Guming's family, I will never give up if I don't wipe them out!"

Jingxi's eyes were burning, fixed on Bai Qian's face: "It's up to you whether you want to come or not."

Mu Yueguan's breathing was shallow, this girl who was always good to her lost everything overnight.Bai Qian didn't want to face Jingxi, let alone see her helpless.

The balance wobbled, and finally, Bai Qian took a deep breath and replied firmly, "Okay!"
