chasing autumn

Inn

"Huolian," Yu Huolian entered the room, and Fang Li came up to meet her, "I came back to fetch water and you disappeared. It was raining heavily outside, and you were injured and ran around..." She put a big towel on Yu Huolian, Wiped the rain off his shoulders.

The cloth towel touched the wound, Yu Huolian gasped in pain, Fang Li hurriedly let go of her hand, Yu Huolian looked at her worried look, and smiled at the corner of her mouth, "Xiao Li, mother has been looking for me for a whole day...I don't worry about it."

"Your mother's poison, I heard Qingyue say..." Fang Li frowned slightly.

"Qingyue told you?!"

"Well, so, I guess..."

"Xiao Li," Yu Huolian took her hand, "you have been with me, if you don't come back for two nights, the family will worry, Mr. Fang will ask me to ask my teacher for guilt!" Yu Huolian laughed, "Tomorrow morning , I’ll take you home, okay?”

"If I don't go back, your injury hasn't healed yet..." Fang Li said, "Tell me, will you go to the Kaifeng government office in the future?" Before Yu Huolian could answer, Fang Li said again, "Leaving you... ...Your father, will you still work for Mr. Bao?

"Will you still go to Fangfu to find me? Can we still be together?"

"Yes." The tears in Fang Li's eyes made Yu Huolian's heart ache, and he gently embraced her, "Xiao Li, many things have become habits, engraved on my heart, and can no longer be changed."

"...Okay, I'll go back."

Xiaoli, without you, I don't know if I can go on this road.

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

The person on the couch moved his fingers slightly.

Zhan Hao came back to his senses, "You're awake."

"Zhan Hao," Qiu Niang opened her eyes and saw Zhan Hao sitting beside the bed.She sat up, took his hand lightly, and asked with a worried expression, "Where is Fire Lotus? Have you found him..."

"He's very good." Zhan Hao's eyes flickered slightly, and he said helplessly, "He was here last night."

"Huo Lian came here? Did you make things difficult for him again?..."

"Now, he is making things difficult for me." Zhan Hao stood up, pacing with his hands behind his back, and said slowly, "Huolian's betrayal is just a play, it's for Fang Xu to watch, you don't have to worry about it."

"Play it for Fang Xu? What do you mean?"

"Fang Xu is a spy sent by the imperial court." Seeing Qiu Niang's surprised expression, Zhan Hao said again, "Back then, the person who took the child away from Zhaojia Village was Fang Zi'an?" He suddenly smiled, " Is it really God who wants to play tricks on my Zhan family, is it ridiculous, ridiculous?..." A cold stern light flashed across his eyes, and Zhan Hao clenched his hand into a fist and slammed it on the table with a bang, "Damn it!—— —”

"Zhan Hao..."

Zhan Hao breathed a sigh of relief, "Qiu Niang, I will get the antidote to the Liao poison soon," Zhan Hao raised his head and said, "The Zhao family dynasty is about to run out. Zhen paid off his principal with interest!!"

There was a notice from the guard outside the door, saying that a person had come from the border and was waiting in the main hall.

After Zhan Hao left, Qiu Niang called a servant and ordered a brazier.

"Huolian, mother made a decision for you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Qiuniang burned the gold thread kit.

Zhan Hao met Lu Feng in the Nether Hall, and learned that a delegation from the Liao Kingdom would come to Song Dynasty to meet the emperor in the near future.At the same time, another secret envoy from the Liao royal family wanted to negotiate with the leader of Infernal Affairs.

The layout has plunged Liao into fire and water, and it is a good time to ask Liao for an antidote. ——

All of this is still within Zhan Hao's prediction and control.

Zhan Hao nodded in satisfaction, and handed over the task of arranging this secret meeting to Lu Feng.

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

After Yu Huolian sent Fang Li home, he walked in a state of confusion. Consciously or unintentionally, he came to the bamboo forest small building

In this place, many things happened. From rescuing Qiuniang to being with her in those few days, there were both sadness and melancholy, but also warmth and warmth.

Those days are memorable and sad.

However, happiness is always short-lived, and stability is always hard to find.

When he knew that he was not from the blood of the Zhan family, the family affection and happiness that he had already shattered suddenly, giving him no reason to breathe at all.

Thinking of the 20 years of upbringing, shouldering the responsibilities on his shoulders, and enduring the sadness of being deceived, he did not leave.

However, if a homeless person lives or dies, or leaves or abandons him, who will care about him?

Not a member of the Zhan family, not a child of my father, then, who am I? ... It's not that he hasn't asked himself, it's just that not every question needs an answer.

All he needs is an exit.

He told himself that he had to keep going until he fell. ...

Yu Huolian fastened the lightning's rein, approached the hut, and before she opened the door, she heard a startling cough coming from inside the hut.

"That voice is..."

Yu Huolian gently pushed the door open, her heart pounding. ——

Inside the door, Qiuniang was leaning weakly against the wall, covering her mouth with her hands, coughing violently, her hands were covered with dark red blood.

"mother!……"

Yu Huolian stepped forward to help her sit down, took a cloth towel and wiped the blood from her hands, "Mother, why are you coughing up blood again... Did you take any herbal medicine today?... Did you not take the medicine on purpose?" Yu Huolian anxiously said, "Why did you hurt yourself? Mother, why..."

"Huolian," Qiuniang said tearfully, reaching out to caress the hair on his forehead, "You are finally willing to see mother, Huolian..."

Looking at her tearful eyes, Yu Huolian felt sad and remorseful, "Mother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide from you...I..." Inadvertently, he glanced at the bed and saw some neatly stacked clothes. Said, "What is this for?...Mom, do you want to leave?!"

Mo Ran lowered her eyes, Qiuniang said softly: "Some killings, I don't want to see." Qiuniang raised her eyes and forced a smile, "Mother will take good care of herself. As long as Huolian loves herself, mother will live well for Huolian .”

"I..." Yu Huolian was shocked when she heard this.

"Huolian, promise mother that you will not become enemies with him no matter what, okay? Mother really can't see you hurting each other." Qiuniang held his hand tightly, choked up and said: "Huolian, I know what's in your heart Blame him, be angry with him, he owes you 20 years of happiness, it is his fault, it is his sin. But, don't hate him, he is blinded by hatred."

Yu Huolian's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, "How could I hate daddy...Dad has endured great pain for half his life, so what I have suffered is nothing...Whether you are lucky or not, Huo Lian's 20 years of life is my father's life. I gave it to Huo Lian, everything from Huo Lian was given by her father, how could Huo Lian hate her father?..."

"Huo Lian, I want you to remember that no matter what Zhan Hao thinks or says, and no matter what happens in the future, you are my child! You will always be! You must cherish your life as it is for I, do you understand?..." Her heart was twisted like a knife, and tears flowed down her cheeks, Qiuniang took him into her arms and hugged him tightly.Warm tears wet the lapel of her neck, and Qiuniang wept sadly, "Don't make mother worry, don't make mother sad, Huolian!..."
