The man looked at me, his face slightly stiff. After being silent for a long time, he lowered his head and said, "I don't dare."

"..."

"I have heard of the young lady's methods, otherwise -" He glanced at me: "It would not have been the young lady who entered the palace back then."

"..." After hearing these words, I felt a stinging pain in the wound on my fingertips. My fingers connected to my heart. The stinging pain spread all the way to my chest and penetrated deeply into my heart. It turned out that the feeling of labor pain was not...

It disappeared, but it took too long and I forgot.

It hurts, but it still hurts after all.

At this time, the man looked up at me again, his expression became more cautious, and said: "I believe the young master will come to meet the young lady as soon as possible. I hope the young lady will take care of myself."

After saying that, he bowed his body towards me, turned around and walked out.

Hearing his last words, my whole body seemed to be frozen. I stood in the kitchen dumbfounded. I felt that my eyes were dark, as if I couldn't see the light coming in from the outside. All that was left was the coldness of winter.

More biting than before.

I stood there blankly for an unknown amount of time before a voice rang in my ears——

"Light?"

The familiar and gentle tone was like a ray of sunshine suddenly appearing in the cold wind, with a sudden realism and warmth. I suddenly raised my head and saw the familiar figure walking in from the door.

It was Liu Saner. He was holding a rice bag in his hand and looked at me anxiously: "Why did you come in again? Didn't I say - you are bleeding?!"

Before I could react, he walked up to me in three steps and grabbed my hand: "What's going on? Why are you bleeding so much?" He lowered his head and saw the kitchen knife in my hand, and then looked at it again.

When I saw the red radish on the chopping board, I immediately showed a distressed expression on my face and blamed me: "Why did you cut yourself? I told you not to come in!"

After saying that, he couldn't help but hold my hand and put it into his mouth.

The fingers were originally cold and painful, but suddenly they were surrounded by warmth. When the fingertips were touched by the tip of his tongue, there was a tingling sensation, and that kind of warmth that belonged to him spread from the fingertips to the

In my heart.

I looked at him stupidly, and he pulled me into the room without any explanation, and sat at the table, waiting for him to bring clean gauze to wrap me layer by layer. His fingers were obviously still hurting, but

The residual warm touch makes me not feel sad at all.

It’s just that my heart is beating hard.

In fact, there is really nothing to be afraid of.

I am no longer the woman whose life is like floating in the sky and cannot even control her own destiny; no one will come to imprison me again, but hurt me and ignore my life and death.

I have him by my side!

After finally bandaging me, he breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked up at me, he seemed to remember what he had just done in a hurry. He blushed a little and said softly: "Does it still hurt?"

I held my hand, glanced at him, smiled and shook my head gently.

In fact, the atmosphere is not awkward. He and I are already a couple after all, and we have experienced affectionate hugs and rubbing hands. It’s just because of our physical condition that we can’t go any further, but there are always moments that make the two of us feel excited and heart-beating.

I want to get closer to each other more and more, absorbing the warmth and breath that makes each other feel at ease.

As if to relax, he smiled and said: "Look at you, I just went out and you hurt yourself. What will happen in the future?"

"Then from now on, don't leave me."

"..." He was stunned for a moment and looked at me.

I looked at him with a smile: "Don't leave me even a step, we will never be separated, okay?"

His face seemed to be filled with joy and determination. He looked at me steadily for a long time. His face was no longer so red, but the corners of his eyes were a little red. He lowered his head and said, "I never thought that we would meet in the future."

Separate or something."

The two people looked at each other and smiled again.

Although I still have a lingering fear in my heart, I don't think about it so much. These years have passed, and although I never think about what kind of person I used to be, it doesn't mean that I am no longer that person.

I will wipe out anyone who blocks my path, not for anything else. I just want to live a good life for myself and him in the next life.

After making this determination, my heart calmed down. In fact, I had already realized that the peaceful life of "lightness" was coming to an end, and I was already prepared for what kind of wind and rain I would face.

But, I didn't expect that everything would happen so quickly.

And, in that way.

When the chilly north wind blows, the sky in the south of the Yangtze River is no longer covered in ice and snow, but on the contrary, the lively atmosphere around it is getting heavier and heavier.

It’s almost Chinese New Year.

I have never spent the New Year in such a small place. What impressed me most was the years I spent in the palace. Every New Year’s Eve, colorful fireworks would rise over the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the distance, lighting up the sky.

The sound of drums and music, the sound of silk and bamboo, create a scene of prosperity.

And I will sit alone on the steps of the deserted side hall, counting the days on my fingers.

Finally, today is the day.

Standing under the eaves, he looked up and looked at Liu Saner applying paste and carefully pasting the Spring Festival couplets on the door frame. He was still in a daze, but he turned around and said loudly: "How is it? Is it correct?"

Only then did I come back to my senses, nodded and said: "Yeah, that's right."

He jumped down from the ladder, stomped his feet and breathed into the palms of his hands. I walked up with a smile, held his still cold hands in my hands, and helped him breathe. He looked at me with a smile and gently touched his forehead.

He touched my forehead, and I touched me back. The two of us just wanted to play. You bumped into me at the door, and I pushed you.

While they were still making noise, Aunt Liu's voice came from the room: "San'er, there is no salt."

It's the New Year, and Aunt Liu and Queen Yin are curing meat. They need a lot of salt. Soon the salt in the jar is used up. Liu Saner agrees and goes out to buy it.

"Wait."

I stopped him, picked up the coat on the back of the chair and put it on him: "It's cold outside, buy it and come back soon."

"Well. Come in quickly, don't freeze."

He said, patted me with his warmed hands, turned around and walked out.

I watched him push the courtyard door and walk out, then returned to the house. Aunt Liu was sitting at the table. Her health was in and out. Sometimes she could only rest in bed, and sometimes she could get out of bed and walk around. Today

Maybe she was in good spirits and came to do something, but she was also tired. She was a little out of breath as she sat there. I hurriedly went over to support her and said, "Don't be tired. You should go back and lie down to rest."

"No, it's okay."

She smiled: "It's rare to celebrate the New Year, I'm happy."

I also laughed, and Queen Yin was sitting next to me, staring blankly at the door, and suddenly asked me: "Where has my son gone?"

"He went to buy salt and will be back soon."

"How fast?"

"..." I couldn't laugh or cry. Queen Yin actually looks less like a madman now, more like a confused old man who doesn't care about the things around him. She only has Liu San'er as her "son" in her heart. Apart from him, there is no one else.

Don't care about anything.

"I'll be back soon." I added, glanced at Aunt Liu who was shaking her head helplessly, and smiled.

However, Liu Saner did not come back until dark.

Looking at the getting darker and darker sky outside, I felt a little uneasy in my heart. Queen Yin became even more restless, walking around and looking out the door, and asked me again: "Where is my son? Why is my son still here?"

Not coming back?"

I no longer had the heart to comfort her, so I stood up anxiously and looked outside.

He never disappears like this. If something happens at the last minute, he will definitely find someone to come back and bring me a message so that my family won't worry. Besides, he can't go very far to buy salt.

I don’t know why, but I remembered what Huang Tianba said to me, and the shadow of the student from Xishan Academy flashed across my mind. My heart suddenly became confused, and I subconsciously wanted to go out to look for it. As soon as I walked out

, I saw a person hurriedly running outside.

When I took a closer look, it was Gou Er.

There was also a look of panic on his face, and he opened the door with a bang and ran in: "Brother and sister."

I had already realized something and hurriedly went up to meet him. I heard him say: "Go and have a look. Your Liu San'er has been arrested by the government."

"What?"

I was stunned for a moment, but when Aunt Liu who was sitting in the room heard this, she hurriedly held the door and walked out, saying: "Gou Er, what did you say?"

Gou Er said: "I don't know what's going on. When I was in town today, that - that Xiang Xiangyuan was sealed up. The officers and soldiers arrested people everywhere, including those who had been there several times before.

I also slipped away because I didn’t go there very often and no one recognized me. Later I saw that your Liu Saner was arrested and said that he went there every day before——”

Before he finished speaking, Aunt Liu's face suddenly turned pale.

I hurriedly ran over and hugged her: "Mom!"

There was no blood on her face, and she seemed to be extremely cold, and she kept shivering. After a long time, she turned her head to look at me tremblingly: "San'er, where is he going?"

"It's not mother, it's not what you think!"

I said in a hurry. She had lost consciousness and fainted. I was almost pushed to the ground by her. Fortunately, Gou Er ran over and helped her. We stumbled and helped her to the back room to lie down.<

/p>

I quickly turned around and asked Gou Er: "Why did they arrest Liu Saner?"

"I, I don't know either," Gou Er stammered, "It's just that--when we sealed off Xiangyuan today, I seemed to have heard the officers and soldiers saying that they wanted to arrest rebels or something, and many students were caught there.

They were all shackled, and then they started arresting people everywhere. Some people who went shopping several times were arrested. There are several in this village——"

I understood immediately.

Huang Tianba was indeed right.

He told me before when he left that sooner or later Pei Yuanhao would govern the South again to make it completely stable. The first step is of course to eliminate these rebellious students and their rebellious voices.

So these days, I have been keeping Liu Saner at home, thinking that as long as he does not go to the Xiangyuan and no longer has anything to do with those people, it will be fine.
