"Help?" She was stunned for a moment, and then said softly: "What do you want me to help you with?"

"It's like this, Li'er has always wanted to see me, but -" I was about to say that it was all Pei Yuanxiu's fault for describing me as beautiful as a fairy, but when I saw the pale and thin face in front of me, and the tender eyes,

, and some things that happened before, my heart moved secretly, and I immediately changed my words: "But in my current state, I am really ashamed to see her."

Han Ruoshi blinked her eyes, looked at my face covered by the white gauze, and said with a smile: "A son doesn't think his mother is ugly, and a dog doesn't think the family is poor. You are too careful."

I also smiled shamefully: "It's actually our first meeting, and I don't want to leave a bad impression on Li'er."

Han Ruoshi was really a transparent person and understood immediately: "You didn't tell her that you were her mother."

"Yes. The scars on my face were caused by poisoning a few days ago, but they will soon recover. I hope that I can get back to my normal appearance before I can recognize her again. At least, I don't want to let her get to know her again.

The child is so disappointed."

"You want me to keep your mouth shut too."

"Yes. If you see the young master first, please help me breathe."

"It's not difficult."

"Sorry to trouble you."

Han Ruoshi looked at me with a gentle smile on her face and said, "It's just a little effort, it's not a big trouble."

"Thank you."

I thanked her and turned around to leave. As soon as I got up, I heard Han Ruoshi say from behind: "Sister."

I looked back at her in surprise, and Han Ruoshi said a little shyly: "If I call you sister, does that count as being too high-spirited?"

"Of course not. It's me who is so high on Miss Ruoshi."

She smiled softly and said: "This accident happened because I failed to take good care of Li'er. I hope my sister can talk to the young master after she goes out. If Ruoshi is incompetent, the child is frightened."

She said and coughed twice again. Seeing her like this, I felt a little sorry. Originally, the accident this time was directed at Li'er and had nothing to do with her, but she still remembered Pei Yuanxiu's relationship with Li Er.

Her views, as a woman, her thoughts were clear at a glance, and it made me slightly embarrassed, so I hurriedly said: "Sister Ruoshi, please don't say that. Master, he is not an unreasonable person. What happened this time happened for a reason.

It’s none of my sister’s business.”

"Thank you sister."

I smiled, turned around and walked out.

As soon as I walked out of the room, I breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, and then I realized that I had been feeling depressed just now, as if a heavy stone was pressing on my heart, and even breathing was very difficult.

Maybe it was because the room was filled with the smell of medicine. I took a deep breath of the cool dew-filled mountain air and the fragrant grass, and turned around to leave.

When I returned to Li'er's room, she happened to wake up. She was writhing on the bed with her tattered quilt in her arms. When she heard the sound of me pushing the door open, she raised her head and saw a pair of watery eyes under her messy hair.

His big eyes blinked at me.

I walked over with a smile: "Li'er is awake. Did you sleep well last night?"

"Hmm."

Her chin was sunk in the quilt, her face was chubby, and she was particularly well-behaved. She didn't seem to be in the mood to talk yet. After being silent for a while, she raised her head and said to me: "I dreamed about my mother."

"...Really?"

"I dreamed that she was beside me and hugging me."

"..."

"Her embrace is so warm and soft..."

"..."

She looked up at me and said, "Do you think my mother will wait for me outside? Will she like me? Will she hold me?"

I sat on the edge of the bed and stretched out my hand to tidy up her messy hair, and said softly: "All parents in the world cherish their children, and your mother loves you very much. Especially since you are so cute, she will love you even more."

"Really?"

"Hmm."

Seeing me nodding solemnly, she calmed down as if she had received a guarantee, and shouted to get up, eat quickly, and go out to see her mother earlier. Just at this time, the woman also brought food, so I accompanied her to wash up.

Then I combed her hair into a double bun facing the window. This girl was not very good at combing her hair. Her little head was spinning around, which often made her scalp hurt. I could only carefully coax her: "Don't move, don't move."

Beware of hair falling out."

After finally combing her hair, she felt it was a little too simple. When she lowered her head and saw a few pink silk ribbons tied together as flowers on her wrist, she untied them for her. Li'er said, "What are you doing?"

I just smiled and carefully tied the ribbons to the buns on both sides, then picked up the bronze mirror and gave it to her: "See for yourself."

Her skin is pink and tender, like a shelled egg, and her cheeks have a healthy blush. She wears a playful double bun with a pink silk ribbon, which makes her look more smart and cute. She hugs the mirror and refuses to let go.

:“It’s so beautiful!”

I laughed so hard that my eyes rolled up, and I stretched out my hand to scratch her little nose: "Yes, my—Li'er, you are so beautiful."

I hugged her and sat at the table. The child was also hungry. I picked up a spoon and shoveled rice into her mouth with all her strength. Her mouth was full of rice grains. I suppressed my laughter and carefully wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. I felt full.

Everything is full of happiness.

In less than a day, I felt that God had redeemed me from all the suffering I had suffered before. I looked at my lovely daughter, hugged her, combed her hair, ate with her, and rubbed her oily skin.

Mouth, this is the most beautiful dream I have ever had in the first half of my life, and on this day, it all came true.

My happiness really came so quickly and so wonderfully.

After finally finishing breakfast, the woman came to clear the table. Li'er sat on the stool with his calves dangling: "When can we leave? When can I go see my mother?"

I wiped the last bit of grease around her mouth with a handkerchief, and then said patiently: "Li'er, wait for me for a while, I'll go do some errands. After we're done, let's go out. My father-in-law, your father, is here too."

I’ll wait for you outside. Let’s go see your mother together then.”

"Okay!" She said happily. I stood up and was about to go out, but I saw her tugging on my sleeve again: "Don't lie to Li'er."

My heart softened a little, and I felt a sore nose. I forced a smile and said, "No way."

After saying that, he turned around and hurried out.

As soon as I walked to the flat ground below, I saw a lot of people running around in a hurry in front of me, as if they were dispatching someone. I felt something was wrong and hurriedly walked forward.

As soon as I walked to the camp in front, I saw Shen Xiaokun standing on a high platform, directing and dispatching something to the people below. Those people took orders and walked towards the surrounding passages one after another. Those who passed by me all used heavy

Look at me.

I walked up and said, "Shen Xiaokun."

As soon as he saw me, a fierce look appeared on his face and he said coldly: "What are you doing?!"

"What?"

"I thought you came in here to really talk to me, but I didn't expect that you actually said one thing on the surface and the other behind your back!"

"What do you mean by that?!"

"What do you mean?" He sneered, walked up to me and said: "My brother who was guarding the surroundings came back and said that he saw figures on several hills behind. Are they from Pei Yuanxiu? He asked you to come in and stabilize me.

, and then they do it again!"

Pei Yuanxiu’s person?

I was startled and immediately recalled that before I entered Crouching Tiger Village, Pei Yuanxiu had already sent people to the hilltop behind to find a way to inspect the situation inside. It seemed that they were almost approaching here.

I hurriedly explained to him. After hearing this, Shen Xiaokun was doubtful: "Really?"

I sighed and said: "After all, my daughter is in your hands, and I can't possibly ignore her."

He frowned and looked at me for a while, and finally said nothing.

However, the current situation is indeed a bit tricky.

I haven't been out for a whole day. Pei Yuanxiu doesn't know what's going on inside, but I know that his patience won't last long. I'm afraid that if the two sides really fight, life or death will be unpredictable!

Thinking of this, I said: "Shen Xiaokun, you didn't intend to hurt Li'er this time, but you held her captive and still forced me to enter the stronghold. Why?"

He fell silent for a while and didn't speak for a while.

The people around had almost left, only there was a patrol in the distance. Shen Xiaokun glanced at them a few times, turned around and walked into the foyer. I followed him into the tall wooden door and saw him slowly walking to the main room.

Sitting in front of him, he was silent for a while, and then said: "I want you to show me a way."

I thought: "Shall I show you the way?"

He held the backrest of the chair with one hand, his fingertips crunching loudly, and said: "I am here to expand my power, and one day I will find Pei Yuanxiu to settle the ledger!"

"..."

"I saved your daughter this time unintentionally. I just didn't expect that I immediately attracted his people."

"..."

"Death, I've already died once, so I'm not afraid of it. I just don't want to die and get nothing!"

"..."

Looking at his young and stubborn face, I suddenly understood.
