When I gently pulled out of Pei Yuanxiu's hand, I felt that my fingers had lost consciousness and my fingertips were cold. Just as I was about to stand up, I felt dizzy, my eyes turned black, and I almost fell down.

Lao Yao hurried over and reached out to support me.

I staggered and looked back at him. His face was also a little haggard, and he said softly: "Are you exhausted?"

I shook my head silently, looked at him, and then looked at myself. There was a lot of blood stains on my cheeks, and there was a pile of gauze stained with blood and a pot of blood-red water piled beside the bed. The strong smell of blood in the room made people almost suffocate.

"Go and have some rest."

"I'm fine. I've been sitting for a long time, just go out for a walk."

As I said that, I turned around and prepared to go out. When I turned my head, I saw the blue cloth curtain at the door of the inner room being lifted open. Li'er stood at the door, looking at this side with wide eyes.

I hurried over: "Li'er?"

Her eyes were full of fear and anxiety. She looked at the bloody gauze beside the bed, then looked at the silent person on the bed, then looked up at me: "Mom, Daddy, he--"

"He's fine."

I rubbed her heart, squatted down slowly, and said softly: "My father has suffered a little injury and has been cured."

The little face seemed to have come alive, and the eyes suddenly became radiant: "Really?"

"How could mom lie to me?"

"Very good!"

She laughed so happily that she immediately wanted to clap her hands. I hurriedly stopped her and whispered: "Although my father's injury has been cured, I still have to rest. Li'er should not quarrel with him."

When she heard this, she immediately closed her mouth and nodded silently: "Yes."

Looking at her rare appearance of being so well-behaved, I smiled gently: "Li'er has been worried about her father's injury, right? He got up so early, did he not sleep?"

She lowered her head a little depressedly: "Lier can't sleep."

I gently kissed her forehead and said softly: "Now now I know my dad is fine, should you go in and sleep for a while?"

"OK."

She was obedient and turned back to the inner room obediently. I carefully pulled the curtain. When I looked back, Yao Lao had already packed up the scary gauze and blood. Only Pei Yuanxiu was lying quietly on the bed in the room. His clothes were cut open, and a thick layer of gauze wrapped around his chest, wrapping around his entire chest, and there was a hint of pink on the gauze.

Such a peaceful scene was completely unthinkable for him. In the middle of the night, blood was gushing, and extremely dangerous scene.

Until now, when I think back to that moment, I am still a little soft.

But no matter what, I finally survived this deepest and heaviest night.

Looking back, even at that time, Pei Yuanxiu just grabbed my hand tightly, and didn't even hum, and didn't even struggle.

I don’t know where he got the strength and courage to endure such a test on the edge of life and death. However, this test has passed, and a new test has been placed before me again.

The dream I promised to give him, can I really make that dream come true?

I reached out and pushed the door, and immediately a cold wind blew up, blowing my whole body and mind. It was already dawn, and the morning light of the east dew made the yard lightly tested by blood, and it was still fresh. The confetti that fell on the floor last night was cleaned by the servants, but they did not forget what they should do on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

When they saw me going out, they all came up and saluted me respectfully: "Madam Qingying."

It seems they know that Pei Yuanxiu is safe for the time being, so he is not as nervous as last night. I smiled faintly and said, "You guys clean up the surroundings. Today is the Chinese New Year. I am happy and I won't blame you. Just a little bit, don't hinder other villagers."

"yes."

After hearing what I said, it was more like giving them a life-saving talisman. Everyone showed joy on their faces, and they turned around happily and went to work hard.

I stood in the yard and looked at the east sky.

The sun slowly rose, breaking through the clouds, sprinkling the light. I squinted my eyes slightly, my vision was a little blurred. I couldn't see the ever-changing clouds, nor could I see the sun that brought warmth and hope clearly. I only saw the halo slowly spreading in front of me, illuminating this land and illuminating me.

It's New Year.

It's New Year...

Whether it is good or bad, it has passed after this night.

Everything has a new beginning

And I, do you need a new beginning?

But what about those old ones?

Whether it is good or bad, what is forgotten, what is unforgettable, is it all like this? All of them passed overnight?

.

On the first day of the New Year, Jixiang Village is still very lively.

Although last night, more or less everyone knew that there was a "bloody crime" in my yard, after one night, the place became calmer again, and the servants were still busy inside and out, even more lively than the homes where the New Year was not born safely.

The surroundings are getting more and more lively.

I even heard many villagers come to other places to pay New Year's greetings. Everyone greeted each other loudly and saluted each other, and were particularly intimate.

After Si, a very light knock came from my courtyard gate.

When I opened the door, I saw that it was Yun Xiang, Gou Er, and the second brother of the Zhao family who came to the door.

They seemed to be a little hesitant when knocking on the door, fearing that something would happen inside, but when they saw that it was the door I came to open in person, they felt relieved a little. Yunxiang hurriedly smiled and said, "Boss, I'm here to wish you a happy new year."

I also laughed and said, "Thank you, thank you."

Even though I said that, I didn't think they wanted to come in and sit. At my house, Pei Yuanxiu was still lying on the bed and was asleep. He really wanted them to enter the door, but he didn't know where to sit. So he said apologetically: "There is still a little messy in the room..."

"No, no, don't be polite."

Yunxiang said this, then looked at my pale face and slightly dark circles, and said softly: "How come you are so haggard? Your eyes are swollen."

"I……"

"Light, last night, in your yard-"

Seeing her eagerness to speak, I smiled softly and said, "It's a bit unexpected, but don't worry, it's nothing serious."

"Oh, that's good."

After hearing what I said, Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, she was worried that I would cause some trouble. However, Brother Zhao looked at me and then at the faint door behind me. Finally, he said with concern: "Girl Qingying, who is your visitor? Such a big background?"

I hesitated for a moment and said, "Second brother, don't mind, it's not that I refuse to say it, it's just--it's hard to say."

Yunxiang hurriedly grabbed the conversation and said, "As long as you are fine, we will feel at ease."

I felt warm when I heard this and said, "Yes."

After chatting for a few more words, they were about to say goodbye and leave. I suddenly called Yunxiang: "Yunxiang!"

She turned around and looked at me: "Hmm? What's the matter?"

I looked at her, hesitated again, thought for a while, and then smiled and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it after these days."

She glanced at me in confusion, but nodded quickly: "Well. If you have any help, come and find me."

"good."

.

After Yunxiang and the others left, no one came to pay New Year's greetings again.

Of course, I also know that this kind of blood-seeking incident happened, and everyone was more or less worried. It was the first day of the New Year. Fortunately, Yao Lao and the others came, and there were quite a few people.

Su Su got up a little later than usual, and probably didn't sleep well last night. When she came out and saw the situation in the house, she didn't ask any more questions and went to the kitchen to prepare the meal. The maids also obediently went to help her. After a while, the tempting smell of food came out of the small yard.

Li'er almost didn't sleep last night. After knowing that Pei Yuanxiu was fine in the morning, he went back to sleep with confidence. He was not awake until noon, so he had no choice but to drag her up. The girl rubbed her red eyes and stumbled out, but she first rushed to Pei Yuanxiu's bed and looked at the still pale face carefully.

I walked over and was about to hold her hand when I heard Li'er whisper: "Mom, when will Dad wake up?"

I picked her up and walked out, saying, "My father's wound is still hurting, but it doesn't hurt so much when he falls asleep. If he wakes up, it will hurt a lot. Do you want Mr. Dad to wake up?"

She immediately shook her head vigorously.

I smiled and kissed her chubby face, and took her to wash.

After finishing the washing, it was noon. Susu and the others had prepared the meal. Of course, they could not set up tables at home. Fortunately, there was a large yard. Moreover, the winter in the south of the Yangtze River was only cool and cold, and it was not as cold as in the north. We could still eat outside the house. So we set up three or four tables, saying that it was not lively, and at least it was a New Year.

Before I sat down to have a meal, I went back to the house and took a look at Pei Yuanxiu.

He slept very heavily, but his breath was very weak. If it weren't too close, he could hardly feel it. Yao Lao said that it was because the arrow hurt the inside and it would take some time to recover. However, he had a good foundation and recovered quickly. He should be able to wake up in a few more hours.

But it will take a few days to get out of bed.

In the next time, you need to take good care of it.

Confirm that he was sleeping soundly, I gently shut them down. Susu and the others had already brought the food to the table, so I walked over and sat down. There were a lot of dishes. Except for yesterday, she fried some fresh vegetables, which was enough to purify the greasy stomach and intestines that had eaten and drunk too much.

However, this meal was too quiet.

After all, Pei Yuanxiu was still seriously injured and rested. In addition, the servants were still guilty, so no one dared to speak during the meal. Li'er and Lao Yao were in a heavy mood and could not be happy. Therefore, although there were many people at the dinner table, there were no laughter and joy, and only the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding, which made the New Year look a bit deserted.

In such silence, I suddenly heard a mess of footsteps, from far to near, and finally walked outside my yard and immediately heard someone slamming the door.

The strength is quite strong, as if the person coming is very angry.

Everyone was shocked, and Su Su hurriedly wanted to go over and open the door. I thought about it, stopped her and said, "I'll do it."

After saying that, I had already walked over and opened the gate of the courtyard.

As soon as I opened the door, I heard a angrily shouting: "Yue Qingying, you bitch."
