Chapter 23: Miss Xi Niang Ill

Yun Xi shook her head at her and signaled her not to say anything, because Qin Chun had already narrowed his green bean-sized eyes, and nothing good would happen as long as she did this.

"Then you go with her?" Sure enough, Qin Chun's next words made Xiao Xi turn pale. She didn't want to go. It was so dark and scary there, and there were wolves.

Qin Chun kicked the rope on the ground, what are you still standing here for? Go quickly. She raised her face as if she wanted to hit someone, but Yin Xi didn't doubt at all that she wouldn't.

When it comes to hitting people, her hands are meant to hit people, not to scare them.

Yong Xi picked up the rope on the ground. The wind outside was blowing her shabby clothes, as if she was going to be blown away too.

"Yun Xi, don't go," Xiao Xi tugged on her clothes, "It's very dark and scary there, please don't go, okay?"

Yong Xi tied the rope around herself and said, "I smiled bitterly. It's not mine. If I don't go, I may be beaten again or die."

After she finished speaking, Xiao Xi's eyes turned red and she slowly put down her hand.

And she bit her lip, as if she had made a decision, "I'll go with you."

Yong Xi pushed her inside, "No, I can go by myself," she turned around and closed the door. The wind outside blew on her face from time to time, and the chill of early spring still penetrated her bones. Since it was dangerous,

Then just let her go alone, why bother others.

It was very dark at night, so she climbed to the back mountain, where there were only dead trees one after another. In addition to the sound of the wind, she could hear the sounds of wild beasts.

She couldn't help but run back in fear, but after running a step, she stopped again, and picked up firewood on the ground with the help of the dim light.

The screams of those wild beasts were coming closer and further away. Every time they screamed, she would tremble, and the movement of picking up firewood in her hands became faster. Finally, she picked up a bundle of firewood. She carried the firewood on her back, but she almost missed it.

Being weighed down by the heavy firewood on my shoulders,

She carried the firewood on her back again, bent over and walked forward step by step.

The road was very dark, perhaps there was no road here, and she could only tell that it was the direction of the palace from the blurry palace lanterns in the distance.

She struggled to walk forward, and then with a bang, she fell to the ground.

She sat up and cried while holding the bundle of firewood.

What should I do? She was in pain and very hungry. She put her hand on her chest and took out the steamed bun from the clothes on her chest with trembling fingers. Then she tore half of it and ate it bit by bit. It was very windy.

It's cold, and the sounds of wild beasts there are even colder.

After finally eating half of the steamed bun, she stood up again, put some strength on her back, and walked towards the faint light.

When she came back, her face was dirty, her hair was messy, even her clothes were scratched several times, and she didn't know how many times she fell. She also had a lot of scratches on her hands, and I believe her body was also scratched.

It would be too little. "Oh my god, Yun Xi, how did you become like this?" Xiao Xi rubbed her eyes and was shocked by her. At this time, Yun Xi was simply in such an embarrassing state that it was hard to bear to look at her.

There was finally no wind in the room. She shook her head at Xiao Xi and said, "I'm fine. It's just that the road was too difficult to walk, so I fell a few times."

Is it really that difficult to walk? Is it just a few falls? She clenched her fingers and her hands on her legs were shaking uncontrollably. It hurt.

Xiao Xi sat up, then came over and took the dry wood from her hair, "Yun Xi, why are you so pitiful? No matter how unpopular you are, you are still a poor princess in Cang Kingdom.

, how come it’s like this? Would it be better if I married another princess at that time?”

Yun Xi paused his fingers and raised the corners of his pale lips slightly,

"I'm glad it's me. If it were my other sisters, they might be gone now."

"Why?" Xiaoxi didn't understand.

Yun Xi didn't speak anymore or answer her questions. Among all the princesses, she was the only one who could endure this. If it had been anyone else, no matter which one it was, it would have been a big deal now. It wasn't Qin Chun.

Beaten to death, perhaps tortured to death by Honglian.

She can endure it because she knows that only by enduring it can she survive.

Xiao Xi was tired and had already gone to bed, and she began to mend her clothes, sewing the many torn places on her clothes bit by bit, sewing carefully and with concentration.

After the clothes were mended, she put them aside and then got into the quilt. Only then could she rest her aching body, and, also, a heart that was almost scarred, she

Close your eyes and breathe slowly and slowly.

Perhaps only then will she be peaceful and happy.

Before dawn, she opened her extremely sore eyes and was about to get up. Xiao Xi was still sleeping. Everyone was asleep. In fact, she only slept for maybe less than an hour before she was already busy again.

.

She opened her palms, and there were all kinds of scratches inside her palms.

Sighing softly, she took the clothes on one side and put them on, then walked out.

Another day has begun, another busy day has begun, and another unbearable and sad day has begun.

She carried her extremely tired body back to where she lived, only to find Xiao Xi wiping tears.

"What's wrong?" She walked over, bent down and stared at Xiao Xi's red and swollen eyes.

When Xiao Xi saw her, she cried even more sadly, and even cried so hard that she was out of breath.

"Yunxi, what should I do? What should I do?" She pulled on Yongxi's clothes, anxious and didn't know what to do. "My mother is sick. She is very ill. The doctor said she needs a lot of money, but I

I had no money, so I scraped together what I could, even Uncle Li lent me some, but it was still not enough, far from enough."

"The doctor said that if we can't find the silver, then my mother will die," she said in a choked voice, then lay on the bed and started crying.

"What should I do? What should I do?"

Yong Xi put her hand on her chest and held her clothes. Then she stood up and looked up at the darkening sky outside the window. She didn't know what she was thinking, but she could still hear it in her ears.

I heard Xiao Xi’s heart-wrenching cry.

She clenched her fingers, then stretched into her neck, and pulled out a red thread. Below the red thread was a beautiful jade pendant.

She pulled out the jade pendant and held it in the palm of her hand. Her body temperature was still on the jade, and there were traces of her wearing it. She had been carrying this jade pendant for a long time, so long that she didn't even remember that she had brought it with her.

.

She took the jade pendant and patted Xiao Xi's shoulder. When Xiao Xi sat up, she pulled away Xiao Xi's fingers and placed the jade pendant in the palm of her hand.
