He looked at me quietly: "If you were afraid of guilt, would you say such a thing to me at this moment?"

I don't know how to answer.

"You are not guilty, but afraid." He stared at me, "You are afraid that if I am by your side, one day, the position of that person in your heart will be shaken."

At that moment, I was terrified, and Xu Fang's words inexplicably touched the confusion and uneasiness of these days like the tip of a needle.

His dark eyes rippled, "You think you've been deceiving me these days, in fact..."

I don't like him talking to me like this, "Stop talking."

He continued: "You lied to yourself."

I said impatiently: "Who do you think you are? Do you know who I am? Yes, you saved my life, I am very grateful to you, but without me, you can stand here today. Huh? Xu Fang, even if we're even, we don't owe each other." After that, I turned and left.

But let him grab it.

He didn't speak, but I couldn't shake his hand, so I had to turn around: "Yes, I'm afraid. The better you treat me, the more afraid of you, the better you treat me, the worse he will appear. , he saved me, but he didn't take his life to save me like you did. He was occasionally considerate, but he was not as meticulous as you. He has so many good things in my heart. You're so weak. Do you think I'm afraid that I like you?" I shook my head, "No, Xu Fang, no."

"I'm afraid that I won't like him anymore." Tears fell unconsciously as he spoke, "Xu Fang, I can't imagine, I can't imagine that one day I won't like him, I already like him here. What do you want me to be like?"

The strength in the hands gradually diminished.

Xu Fang looked at me with an almost retreating look.

I let go of his hand, sucked up the tears with my sleeve, ignored him and walked straight back, he followed me quietly and said nothing.

When I got to the door of the house, I thought I couldn't eat the fish tonight, but he suddenly stood in front of me, "The night when my life was dying, it was when I heard your words that I desperately wanted to open my eyes. "

I looked up very slowly.

"You said, if the person I met when I was thirteen was me, and I didn't meet anyone else, just me..." he asked, "Will you like me?"

There is a sad feeling in my heart, and I have asked myself this question countless times...

I finally sighed: "I don't know. I only know that in this world, there is no if."

I didn't sleep that night, and the strange thing was that Aunt Qing also didn't come back all night. I woke up early in the morning when I heard the chirping, I left a letter and left with my luggage.

Xu Fang didn't come to see me, although it was expected, but every time I thought about it, if he came that day, I wouldn't have experienced such a terrible aftermath.

On the way to the pier, I accidentally caught a glimpse of Qing Gu walking in a hurry. I saw that it was still early, and thinking about her care and the treatment of her leg injury during these days, it would be better to say hello before leaving.

She stopped in the woods, I was catching up, and after a closer look, I realized that there was someone standing in front of her, and the next moment I saw Qing Gu kneeling down on one knee and respectfully said, "Master."

The man stood in a black robe with his hands behind his back, and said in a low and old voice, "How's the young master?"

I hid behind the tree for a while, stunned, young master? What young master?

Just listen to Qing Gu said: "The poison in the body has been mostly resolved, and the body is also recovering."

poison? Could it be that Qing Gu said Xu Fang?

The man asked, "Did he remember anything?"

Qing Gu replied: "The memory after detoxification has not recovered as scheduled, or it will take a while."

The man reprimanded: "Do your best."

Qing Gu said yes, and added: "Why didn't the master meet him in person and tell him the truth of the incident..."

The man said: "He has changed greatly due to amnesia, and it is impossible to guarantee what he will do when he knows the truth. During this time, the emperor is watching urgently, if it is not because he is suddenly ill and has no time to take care of it, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to withdraw. Now I will let the young master live in seclusion. Here, it's okay, you take good care of him, and don't let anything happen again."

"Yes."

Because the man was always standing on his back, I couldn't see what he looked like. I saw Qing Gu hesitated for a while, but the man didn't turn his head and asked coldly, "What else?"

Qing Gu said: "Young master saved a woman with a broken leg a few months ago, and it seems... she is very jealous of her."

"Woman? What's the way?"

Qing Gu said: "My subordinates don't know, but she is definitely not an ordinary woman in her dress and behavior..."

The story develops here, usually the eavesdropper will accidentally step on some branch and make a noise, and I will naturally not be stupid to this point. It’s a pity that when I was focusing my whole attention on the front, I didn’t notice the back in time. 's coming.

When I heard "Who are you, why are you hiding behind a tree and listening to others?", I looked back and saw a little girl with pigtails looking up at me ignorantly. My heart skipped a beat. two.

When I turned my head again, I happened to meet Qing Gu's eyes, and the man in black also turned around. Although I couldn't see his appearance from the mask, I could see it accurately from his sharp eyes - kill. meaning.

When I was about to run away, Qing Gu had already fluttered to me. She glanced at me and didn't give me a chance to speak, so she dazed me.

There was darkness in the sky.

I vaguely felt myself being dragged along the ground wrapped in sacks.

I didn't know how long I was so groggy, and when I could barely open my eyes, I found myself lying on the board of a wooden house.

The wooden house is dilapidated, not Qing Gu's wooden house.

But Aunt Qing was sitting in the wooden house and seemed to be waiting for me to wake up.

I tried to prop myself up, but I found that I couldn't use my hands and feet, my body was hot like fire, and every breath seemed to be blocked and extremely depressed.

Qing Gu didn't come over, she just looked at me quietly. I wanted to speak, but I found that it was extremely difficult for me to even make a sound.

She was silent for a long time, and said, "Don't waste your energy anymore, you have been infected with the plague. I personally gave you the plague virus. Within two days, you will definitely die."

I lifted my sleeves and looked at my arm covered in red sores.

Qing Gu said: "Originally, we also planned to kill and bury you and that little girl directly. I don't want to know that the county has seen you. If you disappear out of thin air, I'm afraid that the first person who comes down from the imperial city will search here. , instead of ruining the master's plan, it is better for you to die here from the plague..."

She actually killed the little girl?

My palms were sweating, and I asked hoarsely, "This is... Chenjiacun?"

"You really are smart."

Chenjia Village has been sealed, and it is impossible to escape from a situation like mine.

"Princess, you are already dying." Aunt Qing showed pity on the corners of her brows and eyes. "You and I finally got to know each other. If you have any doubts or unfulfilled wishes, you can talk about it, it is better than dying."

My chest suddenly became congested, and I wanted to take a few breaths, but I couldn't help coughing.

She said, "If you don't want to go in too much pain, you can't get angry."

I slowed down and leaned back on the pillow weakly, "Let's go."

"You don't ask?"

I was dumbfounded: "What are you asking? What is your master, Xia Yanghou, planning, or why your young master lost his memory?"

Qing Gu said in shock: "You..."

I looked at the ceiling and said, "Those who can recognize me at a glance, but I can't hear a voice, must not be officials who are often seen in Beijing. Since they are called Young Master Xu Fang, then nine out of ten are father and son, and Xu Fang has lost his memory for a year. , if you count the time, there was only one official in Lingnan who lost his son a year ago."

"Xiayang Hou Nie Guang."

My weak voice said word by word, "As for Xu Fang, it is the prince, Nie Ran."

Qing Gu almost looked at me with horrified eyes.

"Although Marquis Xiayang was a hero of the founding of the country, he was also a descendant of the previous dynasty," I met her eyes. "There is only one reason for my father to keep an eye on him but not dare to move him."

"Hidden and bide your time, wait for the moment, and go back."

The house fell silent.

"Princess Xiangyi, she really deserves her reputation."

The next moment, the short knife in her sleeve stabbed at my neck.

After a moment of silence, I saw her full of turbulent eyes.

She should have killed me without hesitation.

Why can't you let it go?

However, she didn't give me an answer and left without looking back, without a trace.

I felt a little pity for Nie Guang in my heart, I really raised a subordinate who did not fulfill his duties.

But when I finally moved to the door and tried to push it out to see the scene outside, I realized that I was wrong.

The door was tightly locked, leaving only a wooden window that could not climb out even if the frame was removed.

Rumble.

As if I thought I wasn't miserable enough, followed by the thunder, the bào rain poured down.

I stuck my head out of the window, and the whole ruined village saw nothing alive except for the corpses lying on the ground.

The sky and the earth were dark and dark, filled with the breath of death.

The torrential rain seeped in through the cracks in the roof, the pea-sized raindrops wet my hair, and the bone-piercing cold wind scorched my already hot body.

I stared blankly at the wet spread along the fabric, dripping along the corner of the clothes, supporting the table with one hand, staggering a few steps, the whole person fell on the couch, and my hands and feet were so soft that I could no longer make a point. strength.

That was the first time in my life that I was truly conscious of death, that even though I was powerless, I realized that the thing more terrible than death is waiting to die.

I thought and thought, from running away from home to leaving Xufang, I tried very hard to figure out how I tossed myself to death and then died.

Who would have thought that God wouldn't even give me this right. I woke up and fainted, and I would wake up again. In the end, I couldn't think any more except to feel that my life was passing little by little.

After such a day and a night, when the next day dawned and the sun drenched all my soaked clothes through the window, I found myself regaining a little strength.

But that's not because my body has overcome the disease. When I took off my clothes and saw my body covered with rashes, when every inch of my skin was like thousands of insects and ants, I thought I was really complete. , In this life, I finally experienced the return of light and return.

Therefore, when I found out that the sealed door was opened by the bào wind and rain last night, there was no joy in my heart to escape.

I didn't even want to move even curled up in the corner.

Going out is a corpse lying on the street, it's really ugly to die like that.

In the end it was the commotion outside the door that led me out.

The court has given an ultimatum to burn down the village at sunset.

So the villagers who still had breath in the whole village went crazy and wanted to break through the officers and soldiers and rushed out, but the end was just a dead soul in advance.

I was leaning against the door frame, thinking that rather than being burned to death, I would think of a quick way to cut myself off. A ten-year-old girl came out of the log cabin opposite, holding a few bamboo grates in her hands, with a red rash.Already spread to the cheeks.

Her expression was calmer than mine: "Sister, are you not dead yet?"

The dilapidated room was filled with cotton paper of various colors.

She said her name was Xiaoning.

Her parents had already died in the earthquake, and her grandmother, who had been taking care of her, died of illness not long ago.
