Mo Ruo's hand froze and he took a step back.
Shi Ziran's hand fell heavily to the ground again.
It made a muffled sound.
Mo Ruo couldn't make a sound.
He stood there in a daze, staring into the carriage.
Bai Yin didn't understand. She walked over and followed his gaze into the carriage.
When she saw the scene, she was also stunned.
Ji Yunshu was hugging Shi Ziran, and Shi Ziran was lying on her lap.
One was completely unconscious, while the other was in a daze.
"Ugh!"
She felt her hands and feet go numb.
How could this be?
Bai Yin clenched her fists. She thought that she should've rushed back then. Perhaps, she could've rushed back in time.
At this moment, Tang Si walked over from afar with her big belly.
She saw Jing Rong and Bai Yin standing motionlessly in front of the carriage.
She slowly walked over.
"What are you doing standing here?" she asked.
As she spoke, she walked to Mo Ruo's side and looked into the carriage.
Ugh!
Her expression was almost identical to Bai Yin's.
She was dumbstruck.
She covered her mouth.
After a while, she calmed down and shouted at the people in the carriage with tearful eyes.
"Ah Ji …"
Just as she was about to speak, Mo Ruo pulled her back and shook his head.
Tang Si immediately stopped talking and did not say anything else.
After a while, Ji Yunshu finally moved her eyes. Her blood-stained hands gently stroked Shi Ziran's hair. She spoke in a voice that made one's heart ache. "I owe him. I won't be able to repay him in this lifetime."
I can't repay him for the rest of my life.
She was extremely calm when she said these words.
However, no one could truly understand the feelings behind her words.
No one knew how indescribable her feelings were.
Guilt.
Sadness.
Despair.
…
All her emotions were suppressed in her chest.
It was as if countless knives were slicing open her scarred heart bit by bit.
At this moment, it was a bloody mess.
She had lost consciousness.
She didn't know how she let go of Shi Ziran. She also didn't know how she got out of the carriage.
In the tent.
She sat there quietly. Her eyes were lifeless and her face was calm. No one could tell what she was feeling.
Not a single word was spoken!
Shi Ziran's blood was all over her clothes, her face, and her hands …
Tang Si brought over a basin of water and was washing the blood off her body.
The basin of water quickly turned red!
Tang Si looked at her with heartache. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
After hesitating for a while, she finally said, "Ah Ji, I know you're upset, but I don't know what to say to comfort you. Just cry it out, you'll feel much better."
She said nothing.
"Ji?"
There was still no response.
Tang Si let out a long sigh and continued to clean up the blood on her body.
He then helped her change into a clean set of clothes.
She was still the same, motionless, as if she had lost her soul, just like a puppet!
When Mo Ruo came in with the dishes, Tang Si pulled him aside and whispered, "She's just sitting there like that. No matter what I say, she doesn't seem to hear. Ah Mo, I'm so worried. If something happens to Ah Ji, I really don't know …"
He was extremely worried!
Mo Ruo held her hand. "Don't worry. As long as she's here, I won't let anything happen to her."
"En!"
Mo Ruo placed the dishes in front of Ji Yunshu and sat opposite her.
"Would you like to eat something first?" Mo Ruo said.
She still sat there, motionless, unblinking.
Mo Ruo's eyes darkened as he leaned forward and told her seriously, "Ziran's death wasn't your fault. You don't need to feel guilty. Moreover, he didn't want to see you like this. If something happened to you, what would be the point of his sacrifice? The only thing you can do is to live well! "
"I already know what happened to Jing Rong, so I was worried that something might have happened to you. That's why I sent Bai Yin to look for you. But don't worry, Jing Rong won't die that easily! I've already sent people to search along that river. The person he can't let go of the most is you. How could he let something happen to himself?
？ Believe me, he's definitely fine! "Mo Ruo held her ice-cold hand and said with absolute certainty.
Tang Si also said, "That's right, Jing Rong will definitely be fine! He will definitely come back alive to see you. So if something happened to you, how could you wait for him? Ah Ji, don't be so silent. Don't scare me. You can say anything to me, even if you cry, it's fine! "
She was the first to cry!
Ji Yunshu's eyes trembled. Her lifeless eyes gradually brightened up, but they still appeared to be wandering. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she clenched her teeth to prevent herself from making a sound.
Her hands were tightly clenched.
She trembled violently.
Tears flowed out of her eyes, sliding down her cheeks, chin … Drop by drop, they fell on the back of her clenched fists.
Still no sound came out.
Tang Si immediately hugged her trembling body.
"Ah Ji, cry. Cry out all the pain in your heart!"
Mo Ruo's eyes also reddened. He got up and left.
Bai Yin stood outside.
His brows were tightly knitted. He was extremely worried, but he didn't dare to look at Ji Yunshu. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control his emotions.
When he saw Mo Ruo come out, he hurriedly asked, "How was it?"
"Tang Si accompanied her." Mo Ruo sighed.
"After what happened, I'm really worried that she won't be able to endure it."
"She will!" Mo Ruo was very certain, but he sounded like he was trying to comfort himself.
Bai Yin worriedly looked inside and softly sighed.
"By the way, is there any news of Jing Rong?"
Bai Yin shook her head. "Not yet."
"He will definitely be fine! Even if that brat is trapped in a tiger's den, he will still be safe. A river of dead men won't be able to trap him. "
Moreover, Jing Rong was most worried about Ji Yunshu. If he died, what would happen to Ji Yunshu? Therefore, he would do his best to survive and come back to find Ji Yunshu.
After a while, the two of them went to another tent.
Shi Ziran's corpse was placed inside.
It was covered with a piece of white cloth.
Mo Ruo walked to the corpse, lifted the white cloth, and held Shi Ziran's cold and pale hand.
He used a lot of force.
"Ziran, rest in peace. In our next life, I will still respect you as a hero!"
His eyes reddened.
He rarely admired people in his life, but Shi Ziran was one of them.
Shi Zijin was the same.
"What do you plan to do next?" Bai Yin suddenly asked.
He was silent for a while, then let go of Shi Ziran's hand and covered the corpse with the white cloth again.
The two of them went out.
Moonlight shone on the distant hills, illuminating the fine grass. It rippled like water.
The grassland was supposed to be peaceful and beautiful.
Mo Ruo took two steps forward, but didn't speak for a long time.
Bai Yin said, "The Great Lin has already sent their troops. The war will start soon."
She was reminding him.
Mo Ruo understood.
After a long time, he said, "After Ziran is buried, I will lead the troops there. No matter what, I am still a citizen of Hou Liao. I can't just be a bystander in this war. Hou Liao needs me."
"But …"
Before he could finish his sentence …
"Bai Yin." Mo Ruo suddenly called out in a serious tone. He turned to look at her, his eyes slightly drooping as he pleaded, "Bai Yin, can I ask you for a favor?"
He was extremely serious.
In fact, even if he didn't say it, Bai Yin already knew what he wanted to ask of her.
"Tell me." "After I leave, I'll leave everything here to you. I don't know if I'll be able to come back alive, but the thing I'm most worried about … is Ah Si and the child in her womb. No matter if I can come back alive or not, I hope … you can protect her for me, please!" After saying that, Gu Xijiu nodded.
He cupped his hands and bowed to Bai Yin.
He was entrusting it to her!
But he was also telling her about his funeral!
Bai Yin walked over and patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to her even if I have to risk my life!"
"Thank you, Bai Yin."
"But you must remember, no matter what, you must keep your life. Your child can't be without a father."
"Mn." He nodded solemnly.
He hoped that after winning this war, peace would return to the grassland and his child would be born healthy.
The next day.
Shi Ziran's body had been buried on a hill not far away.
She could see the most beautiful sunrise on the grassland.
Ji Yunshu stood in front of the gravestone. She was no longer as listless as she was yesterday.
But she was still as calm as ever.
So calm that there was no trace of sadness on her face.
No one knew what she was thinking.
Mo Ruo and the others stood by her side. They didn't disturb her, nor did they call out to her.
They just quietly accompanied her.
After standing there for a long time …
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew!
The grass of the grassland rippled like water, spreading layer by layer … endlessly.
No one knew where the starting point was.
Where was the end?
Perhaps … it was impossible to find.
Ji Yunshu gazed into the distance. The early morning sun shone into her eyes.
It was so comfortable.
It was like a ball of flame enveloping her.
She seemed to see Mount Wuyi. In the courtyard at the top of the mountain, a young man wielding a long sword.
His sword flowed like water!
His body was like a swallow!
The sun shone on the parasol tree in the courtyard, its mottled and swaying shadows on the ground, reflecting on his body.
Occasionally, a gentle breeze blew past, rustling the leaves.
But it was pleasant to the ears!
The young man waved for a long time before finally withdrawing his last sword.
He stood there, his eyes full of vigor and his face handsome. His eyes were full of longing as he looked at the distant mountains and rivers. He couldn't help but smile. It was so beautiful.
The leaves rustled and the gentle breeze blew past him.
It was so comfortable!
Perhaps this was the life that the young man yearned for.
Perhaps one day, when the young man opened his eyes, he would really be on Mount Wuyi.
Master was there.
Zi Jin was there.
The parasol tree was there too.
Everything was within reach.
Ji Yunshu took a deep breath. The scene slowly faded from her eyes. She looked at the orange sunrise in the distance, a smile slowly appearing on her lips.
