"Us?" Mu Junwu was taken aback. ... Cop Huajou nodded vigorously: "Yes! Us! We can help each other, care for each other, I won't let you be alone, with you here, I don't feel lonely either." She smiled at Mu Junwu: "We must live well! For those who have already died, for those who love us, live well!"
I never thought that such warm and touching words would come from a silly little girl who has never seen the world, never read books, and often makes foolish mistakes.
And he had read many books and knew a lot that others didn't know, yet at this moment such a simple truth made his heart feel warm.
Admiring you, I see Hua Rou's smile with tears in her eyes, and can't help but feel some heartache. At this moment, the tears in Hua Rou's eyes overflowed again.
My heart skipped a beat as I raised my hand and gently touched Hua Rou's cheek, using my thumb to wipe away the tear.
Hua Rong was stunned.
He actually...
"You're right, live for the dead, live well... even if..." Mu Junwu didn't continue, he lowered his head and gave her a sorrowful smile.
Hua Rou looked at him and felt that something was off, so she reached out and grabbed his arm: "Mu Ge, have you encountered some kind of trouble?"
Admiring you, I slowly lowered my head and looked at Hua Rou's hand grasping my arm. He slowly raised his hand, bringing Hua Rou's hand to grab onto his sleeve: "Hold here."
Huā Róu's face was puzzled, but at this time Mù Jūn Wú suddenly lifted his head and leaned close to Huā Róu's cheek, saying in a low voice: "Nice to meet you."
This sudden closeness, the hot air spraying beside her ear, shocked and stunned Hua Rou, causing her body to stiffen.
"Laugh more. You look good when you smile." Mu Junwu smiled at Hua Rou, his body tilted and fell onto her shoulder, then slid to the ground.
"Fourth Brother!" Hua Rou exclaimed in surprise and concern, calling out several times but receiving no response from Mu Jun.
Hua Rou looked at Mu Junwu, who was drunk and unconscious, feeling helpless but also heartbroken. After a long while, she whispered to herself: "All the bad things will pass. No matter how difficult things are, they can't bring us down."
……
He opened his eyes and stared blankly at the crimson clouds in the sky for a while before suddenly sitting up and looking around.
Within a short distance of less than one zhang, Hua Rou was crouching in the medicinal field collecting herbs, and the basket on her back was already full.
Admiring you, I lower my head and glance at the wine jug not far from my feet, rub my temples with my hand, feeling a bit regretful of losing control.
"Eh, Mu Ge you're awake?"
Mo Jun heard some uncomfortable words and nodded slightly.
Hua Rou quickly came to Mu Junwu's side and squatted down, handing over a herb: "Smell this, it can refresh your mind and also get rid of headaches."
Admiring you, I took it over and looked at Hua Rou: "I..."
He's not very good at holding his liquor, and once he's had too much to drink, he doesn't remember what he did, so he always restrains himself from drinking too much. At this moment, he couldn't recall what he did or said, he wanted to ask her, but found he couldn't bring himself to do it, while Hua Rou opened her eyes wide and looked at him: "Huh?"
"It doesn't matter."
I lower my head and sniff the grass, covering up my embarrassment.
A refreshing medicinal fragrance wafted into his nostrils, and the swelling pain in his temples immediately eased a lot. Faintly, he seemed to see her concerned look, saw her tearful face, and also saw her smiling face.
She seriously told herself - we have each other.
His heart suddenly felt a sense of unease, he quickly got up, and Hua Rou immediately followed suit: "Don't worry, the sun is so big, no one will go to Yao Mountain in the afternoon."
I was taken aback by your words, and upon seeing the gentle smile in Hua Rou's eyes, I suddenly felt at ease - she actually knew what he had been worried about.
He glanced at Hua Rou's backpack: "Going down the mountain?"
"Got it! I've already picked enough!"
Hua Rou said she was going to carry the basket, but Mu Junwu took two strides forward, stretched out his hand and grabbed the basket, slinging it over one shoulder as he headed down the mountain.
Hua Rong followed submissively behind him, stunned for a moment.
After walking a few steps, Hua Rou's gaze fell on Mu Junwu's sleeves fluttering as he swung his arms.
She smiled and took a step forward, reaching out to grab Mu Junwu's sleeve.
Mo Jun's body paused slightly, then continued forward as if there was no reaction.
A faint smile appeared on Hua Rou's face as she lifted her head and gazed up at the sky.
Dad, Mom, daughter is doing well in Tangmen. You see, now that Mu Ge is taking care of me, I... don't feel lonely anymore!
Mu Junwu, who was walking in front, also had a faint smile on his face at this time.
Even though time is limited, I shouldn't give up hope. At least, I should live as hard and well as she did.
All along the way, the two of them didn't speak again, but the sunset's afterglow brought out the joy on their faces, so vivid and beautiful.
"Tomorrow morning, see you at the medicine field." At the entrance of the government office, Mu Junwu finally put down his backpack.
"Alright, see you tomorrow morning." Hua Rou's face turned red, like a delicate and beautiful azalea.
He turned and left, although there were no more words, but Hua Rou felt that he was not so cold anymore.
Hua Rou watched Mu Junwu disappear from view before picking up her basket and entering the east wing of the house.
"I've already found all the new materials, what else should I collect tomorrow?"
"I'll tell you tomorrow morning." Ziqi lowered her head to flip through the book, looking lazy and uninterested, while Zihua lay on the bed, seemingly asleep. As for Lianlian, she had already turned around to grab a dustpan when Huajun came in.
"I'll go back to my room first."
Hua Rou turned around and left, as soon as she walked away, Zi Qi put down the book, and Zi Hua also quickly got up, both of them unintentionally guarding the window, paying attention to Hua Rou's movements.
Lingling carried a bamboo basket to the back of the house, preparing to pick herbs. Seeing Ziqi's strange movements, she also walked over to take a closer look, and saw that Hua Rou was just drinking water in the west wing, nothing out of the ordinary.
"Two older sisters, what are you looking at?"
"There's nothing." Ziqi said, quickly walking away. Zihua impatiently waved her hand at Linlin: "Go, go, go, mind your own business, take your herbs and hurry up with the poison, you're always the slowest every time."
Ling Ling heard this and lowered her head to pick up the herbs. Zi Hua and Zi Qi exchanged a glance, with an uncontrollable smile in their eyes.
Linlin took the herbal medicine and left. Zi Hua watched her walk far away, then immediately turned back to Zi Qi's side: "Sister, you'll be fine by tomorrow morning."
Zi Qi smiled and closed her eyes, she was looking forward to the scene of Hua Rou's corpse tomorrow morning.
……
In the bird's chirping sound, Zi Hua woke up. She stretched her waist lazily and heard a soft scolding voice outside the window.
She stiffened and quickly scrambled up to push the window open, only to see Hua Rou practicing Jade Transformation Skill in the courtyard, her movements flowing like clouds and water, completely absorbed.
"Sister! Sister!"
Zi's face turned pale, and she shook and pulled Zi Qi awake beside her.
"What's going on? You've been playing games till midnight, can't you let me sleep a bit longer..."
"Sister, Huā Róu, Huā Róu she..."
Zi Qi's closed eyes suddenly opened, and she sat up with joy and expectation: "How is she...?"
She saw Zi Hua's ghostly expression and immediately turned her head to look out the window, and then she was also stunned.
"How is this possible?"
"Sister, she... isn't a ghost, is she?"
Zi Qi swept a glance at the shadow on the ground, and the look of surprise on her face turned into anger: "She's not dead."
