chasing autumn

Late night

City Inn.

"...Fire lotus..."

When Qiuniang opened her eyes slightly, Yu Huolian came in from outside the house, holding some rags in her hands.

"Aunt Yun! Are you awake?!"

Yu Huolian immediately threw the rag on the table, and hurried to the bedside, with mixed joy and sorrow in her bloodshot eyes, her voice choked up, "Don't worry, you're just poisoned, as long as you force the poison out!" Yu Huolian said He put a hand behind her shoulder to help her sit up, "I'll save you, I can save you..."

"No!..."

When Qiuniang saw that he was going to use his kung fu to force poison for her, she panicked for a moment and yelled out.However, as soon as the words were out of his mouth, there was a suppressed pain in his chest.She held Huo Lian's hand tightly, shook her head with tears in her eyes, breathed weakly, and said intermittently, "I... have a strange poison in my body, anyone who saves me will be infected with this poison, and the poison will immediately ignite, endangering my life... Huo Lian, you If you can't save me, don't die in vain, don't..."

"...There will be such an insidious poison..."

Yu Huolian frowned slightly, and said anxiously, "But...you can't die! You can't die..."

"Fire lotus!"

Qiu Niang said, "Be obedient, leave me alone...you can't save me, or you will be hurt..."

Yu Huolian heard her voice getting weaker and weaker, but she still firmly held his hand and refused to let him treat her.For a moment he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, and tears filled his eyes, "...I remember, you said you were going to be my mother... How could you, just leave me like this?... Aunt Yun! How could you just Leaving like this?!..."

"sorry,"

Qiuniang trembled slightly and stretched out a hand to gently caress his cheek, "...I think, I should try to let you be free first, let you live happily...no hatred, no burden...otherwise, how could I I am qualified to be your mother..." she said, the tears rolled down the bridge of her pretty nose and stuck in her eye sockets, "... Aunt Yun has always, always wanted to give you warmth... Huolian... I have always, I want to give you warmth... I'm sorry..."

"I know I know……"

Yu Huolian choked with sobs, "You have given me warmth, I am content, I am really content..."

Eyes heavy with tears.

When it was clear again, Qiuniang's eyes were slightly closed, and she was silent.

Yu Huolian was neither surprised nor anxious.

He still held her hand tightly, and read softly: "...Aunt Yun, don't leave me, please? Don't leave me..."

I can't let you die! ……mother……

***************

The inn boy knocked on the door.

"Guest officer, here is the hot water you asked for, and I brought it to you!"

No echo.

"Guest officer! The hot water you asked for..."

"I've been knocking for a long time, but you still haven't answered the door?"

Du Fu came out from the door next door, "It's your fault too! What do you guys do? It must be because you were late in delivering the water. People have been impatient for a long time, so they ignore you..."

"Ouch……"

The man scratched his head embarrassingly, "Let the girl be sure, I was too late. The fire room is very messy today, and the person who should boil the water went home for vacation without saying hello, which made... Cough, I still have this fever..." The man said, leaning lightly against the door, only to realize that the door was only ajar, not closed.The clerk pushed the door lightly with a contorted smile on his face, "Guest officer, your..." No, the clerk froze before he could say a single word.

Du Fu felt strange, came over and pushed open the door, but also backed up two steps in shock, bumped into the clerk, and knocked off the water basin in the clerk's hand.

"Boom-"

Li Jing heard the voice, and also came out from the next room,

"Xiao Fu, what's the matter?"

****************

next day

The wind blows and the leaves fall.

In the bamboo house, Li Jing was sitting by the bed, taking the pulse of the unconscious Qiuniang.Yu Huolian sat on the square stool beside the bed, put one hand on her chest, looked at the pale face of the person on the bed, and couldn't stop worrying in her heart.From time to time, he looked at the subtle changes in the expression on Li Jing's face, and his brows furrowed accordingly.

"Is she your mother?" Li Jing asked suddenly.

"..."

Yu Huolian didn't know how to answer, yes or no?In his heart, Qiuniang is indeed like his own mother.However……

Du Fu looked at them and said with a smile: "Brother Li, you are asking too much! When we found them, Mr. Yu kept holding her hand and said, "Mother, don't die, don't die." Damn it!"

"Really?" Li Jing asked again, looking up at Yu Huolian, no emotion could be heard in his words.

Yu Huolian's eyes flickered slightly, and she was about to answer when the door of the room was kicked open suddenly.

Outside the door, Mo Fei came in whistling, and was really taken aback when he saw the scene inside the room.

Everyone was shocked, except Yu Huolian.

"Brother! You are..."

Mo Fei hurriedly put down the things in his hand, and walked to Yu Huolian, "Are you running away from me for a meeting? Then you don't need to bring him here!..."

Seeing Mo Fei fingering Li Jing with a look of horror and disgust, Yu Huolian wondered, "What? You know each other?!"
