"Tch! You're such a bitch." Mu Yin looked at him like this and sneered disdainfully.
Su Jingwen:......
If I had known this, I shouldn't have stood in front of her at that time.
Just let her be buried in the snow.
But he saw Mu Yin leaning against the wall, biting one end of the cloth strip, and wrapping one hand around the wound.
The wound on the hand was caused by trying to save him, and because of the exertion of carrying him, the wound opened and blood trickled out.
Su Jingwen couldn't help but take a breath just by looking at it.
hiss……
"You really don't look like a woman," he said.
Mu Yin turned around and glared at him.
He suddenly felt a stab in his back: "No... no, I think you are better than men. You are a woman who is not inferior to men. I am praising you. I am praising you..."
Mu Yin was too lazy to pay attention to him, and turned back to tie up the last piece of cloth.
"Whatever you say," she said, "I'll live my life anyway."
"But I don't understand." Su Jingwen said: "You could have stayed in Jinling City and enjoyed yourself, so why did you choose to compete with men?
Look, it’s like this now, why bother?”
It's not his fault. Girls like Mu Yin are an anomaly in this era, especially from a wealthy family like theirs with strict upbringing. Su Jingwen has never seen such a girl.
"What do you know?" Mu Yin said.
Anyway, she had nothing to do now, and there was only Su Jingwen by her side, so she might as well talk to him a few more words.
"How do young men like you, who grew up with a silver spoon in your mouth, understand the hardships of life?
My aunt is a servant and cannot leave the house, my younger brother is still young, and my aunt is from a wealthy family and doesn’t like to be in the public eye, so since I was a child, I have always accompanied my aunt to go to the pawn shop to pawn things.
I watched the things at home being sold out one by one, turning into rice and carbon. I watched as the things at home became less and less, but they were never redeemed.
At that time, I thought that as a woman, I must not be a woman like aunt and aunt.
Men will leave you, brothers will bully you, and you are the only one you can rely on.
I have thought since I was a child that I want to grow up quickly and earn a lot of money so that my family can be fed and clothed and others will not dare to bully us.
But I didn't grow up fast enough. My family became more and more difficult every day, and my sister was about to be sent to the palace.
I watched my aunt cry her eyes out every day.
Do you know what I was thinking at that time?" she asked Su Jingwen.
Su Jingwen was stunned, looked at her, and shook his head indifferently.
Mu Qingchao smiled: "Haha, actually I hated her at that time.
I watched her cry, and I thought to myself, why do you have the right to cry?
It's because you're not good, because you're cowardly, because you're incompetent, because you insist on showing off your face and the respectability of everyone's ladies, that's why you hurt my sister."
As Mu Yin spoke, she glanced at Su Jingwen again, frowning at him.
"I know you think it's wrong of me to do this, but that's really what I thought at that time."
She looked at the bonfire rising in front of her and continued: "Later, my sister became the queen mother, and life at home began to get better. Both my aunt and my aunt were very happy.
But what do they know? Do they think life in the palace is that easy?
Ajie and Jin Shang are not really mother and son. Ajie can bring so many things to the family, far more than what her status can bring, which shows how much hardship she has endured behind the scenes.
So I want to go to the battlefield and get military honors, not just because I want to, but because I have to.
I must become stronger so that my sister can be more relaxed."
After she finished speaking, Su Jingwen on the side opened her mouth wide and could not close it for a long time.
He really didn't expect what the little girl in front of him had gone through.
No wonder, no wonder she was anxious because she couldn't take the lead.
She really feels that time can’t wait for her...
Su Jingwen looked at Mu Yin and saw her hands folded on her knees, her head resting on her hands, staring at the fireworks in front of her in trance.
The reflection of the fireworks in her eyes flickered, showing a stubborn look.
Inexplicably, he had the idea that he didn't want her to suffer anymore.
He...wanted to protect her...
When this idea suddenly came to him, he immediately laughed at himself in his heart.
But why should he?
He can't carry his shoulders or lift his hands. He can be scared to the point of weakness on the battlefield. He looks like a girl, so how can he protect Mu Yin?
He remembered what he said about her before?
Say she can't get married?
When Su Jingwen thought of this, his cheeks felt hot with shame.
The open mouth squirmed for a long time, and finally he managed to hold back a sentence: "Then... that... I'm sorry, I shouldn't... shouldn't have said that to you before."
"It's okay." Mu Yin shook her head.
"I don't care about this. Anyway, I have already thought about it. I will never marry in this life. I have to work hard to be my sister's support.
If I exchange my marriage for my sister's happiness, it will be worth it.'
"Is it……"
For some reason, Su Jingwen felt a little heavy when he heard her words.
"Forget it, forget it, go to sleep."
Mu Yin threw a piece of firewood in his hand into the fire.
"It's getting late. Let's take a good rest tonight. We have to go on the road tomorrow morning."
As Mu Yin spoke, she leaned against the mountain wall behind her and said, "I don't know if I can find someone to stay overnight tomorrow. Even if I can't find someone, it would be good to catch a silver fox or something and feed it."
.”
You see, she is really different from other girls.
In fact, Su Jingwen bought a silver fox as a gift to a girl before. When the girl saw it, her eyes lit up and she exclaimed: "Ah, so cute!"
What about her?
She said she would see if she could catch one to eat.
To be honest, he used to think that the girl's coquettish and weak look was really useful.
Now he felt that the girl was really artificial.
Su Jingwen thought about this and didn't know when he fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, he was woken up by a slight "humming" sound.
He opened his eyes drowsily, only to see Mu Yin half-leaning on the mountain wall, her body moving uneasily, and her mouth making noises from time to time.
Her forehead was covered with sweat, but she couldn't open her eyes.
"Hey!" Su Jingwen called her.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked.
Of course there is no answer.
"Alas." Su Jingwen sighed, dragging his aching body, and moved to her side with difficulty.
He stretched out his hand to explore her forehead. It was really frighteningly hot.
"You have a fever?" Su Jingwen asked in surprise.
It must have been an injury or wound infection that caused the fever.
"This... what should I do?"
In the first place, typhoid fever can kill people, not to mention that in these barren mountains and ridges, with no village in front of him and no store in back, he still had wounds all over his body?
Just when Su Jingwen was extremely anxious, Mu Yin opened her eyes in a daze.
Su Jingwen was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Are you awake? How do you feel now?"
But Mu Yin stared at him with misty eyes, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she shouted: "Dad..."
