"What are you listening to?" Chu Di didn't understand. Except for the soft sound of the rustling wind blowing through the leaves, there was no other sound.
Lin Xiangwan ignored him and narrowed her eyes to herself, searching for clues in the air like a cat. Finally she determined a direction, "Did you hear that? Someone is crying."
On such a dark night, bursts of plaintive crying came from the secluded small garden. It was an extremely scary thing to think about. But no matter how hard Chu Di tried, he could only hear the sound of wind. He began to doubt that this was nothing more than the sound of wind.
It was a way for Lin Xiangwan to get rid of herself.
"Lin Xiangwan, don't lie to me again. If I don't get a clear answer today, I will..."
"It's over there, can't you get through?" Taking his words as air, Lin Xiangwan spoke to herself. Although it was in a questioning tone, before she finished speaking, she had already lifted her skirt and looked into the shadow of the lush flowers and trees.
Ran over.
Chu Di cursed in a low voice and had no choice but to follow her.
It was early summer, and the flowers and leaves were fluttering in the wind. Although Lin Xiangwan came back to Baili Villa for the first time, she was like an old acquaintance, flying quickly among the flowers and trees. Her figure was light, and the corners of her skirt were blowing in the summer wind.
It was flying like a beautiful butterfly, passing through the flowers, only stirring up a fragrance, and there was no other movement. But Chu Di was so miserable that as she followed her, her clothes would be caught by branches from time to time, or
Being slapped in the face by a flower vine...it was so embarrassing.
Just when Chu Di began to wonder if Lin Xiangwan was torturing him intentionally, he suddenly heard faint cries.
The woman's cry was plaintive and gentle, like a sad song with indescribable sadness and separation.
Humans are very strange animals. Although joy, anger, sorrow, and joy are all emotions, everyone likes to show their smiling faces to others, but very few people want to let others see themselves crying.
Lin Xiangwan is not a nosy person. She also knows that this is someone else's territory. Even if she really bumps into something, she should pretend that she didn't see it and turn away. She did this because she was too lazy to deal with Chu Di.
How should she answer him?
Promise him? She was unwilling to do so.
Don’t agree to him? He definitely doesn’t want to either.
I just said what I said out of anger. I didn't expect that Chu Di would really do it with all his strength. I didn't expect that his life would be so fatal and his injuries would be so serious, but he would still survive...
You really shot yourself in the foot, how will it end now?
Lin Xiangwan couldn't think of a perfect way to deal with it for the time being, so he simply chose the ostrich strategy. What he could do was to deal with it for a while.
After running for a while, the lush woods slowly spread out in front of her, and a white church-like building appeared in front of Lin Xiangwan.
The red door of the church was wide open, and the cry came from inside.
Along with the crying, there was also the sound of a man yelling and gasping, and the sound of "duh, duh," and someone didn't know what was hitting the ground.
Lin Xiangwan glanced back, and Chu Di was not far behind her. She did not stop, but rushed directly into the church.
"Yeah, it's you?"
Xu Mingfei fell on the red oil-wood floor, her face covered with tears. There were pieces of porcelain scattered around her body. There was a man holding a cane in his hand, approaching her step by step. Xu Mingfei sobbed softly.
He stood there, as if he was extremely afraid of that person, and kept backing away. By accident, his palm pressed on the fragment, and blood gushed out.
When the man saw that she was injured, the anger between his brows became even more intense. He stepped forward quickly with a cane, but Xu Mingfei hid even more. The blood dripping from her palms left a dripping trail on the ground.
Lin Xiangwan couldn't see through the blood stains, so he took something like an incense burner from the short Roman column next to him, and rushed in front of Xu Mingfei in a few steps, protecting her behind him.
"Hey, have you had enough? She's already injured like this, what else do you want? I'm warning you, don't come here again!" Lin Xiangwan said, raising the incense burner in his hand domineeringly. The man
A very bright light flashed in his eyes like an eagle, and then he pointed at Xu Mingfei with his crutch threateningly, as if to signal her not to talk nonsense, and then limped out of the church.
When he was going out, he happened to meet Chu Di who came in. Chu Di was stunned and said, "Mr. Baili..."
The man also recognized Chu Di, but ignored him. He just snorted from his nose and walked away without a trace.
Lin Xiangwan threw the incense burner aside and carefully opened Xu Mingfei's palm. The sharp porcelain shards cut a long scar on her palm, and some small porcelain shards were embedded in it. Lin Xiangwan frowned.
He frowned and said to Chu Di, "Find me a medical kit and tweezers."
Chu Di didn't know when he became Lin Xiangwan's follower, saw her so worried about Xu Mingfei, and thought about his treatment, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he didn't move.
Lin Xiangwan glanced at him impatiently, "What are you waiting for? Are you going to wait until she bleeds out and dies before you go get it? I really don't know what you men have in your heads. Just bear with me, I
Take out the larger porcelain pieces first. It turns out that the pretty guy has no good intentions and looks like a human, but he just doesn’t do human things..."
Lin Xiangwan's voice was not loud, but it was enough for the other two people present to hear clearly.
She seemed to be scolding the Baili family, but Chu Di didn't know why, and the more she listened, the more awkward she became.
Don't be angry, don't get along with her, she's just trying to make you angry, you can't fall into her trap, she's just waiting for you to lose your temper, and then when she gets the chance to reject you, don't be really angry, just treat her as a little kid
When a dog barks, patience turns into gold. Just bear with it.
Chu Di comforted himself in his heart, turned around and walked outside. Lin Xiangwan shouted to his background, "Stop dawdling, hurry up, I'll give you five minutes, run away and run back!!"
Chu Di, "..."
Although the wound on Xu Mingfei's hand was very long and the blood was flowing out, it looked very scary. Fortunately, the wound was not too deep and did not damage the muscles. If it healed, it would only leave an unsightly scar and
It will not affect your normal life in the future.
She bit her lip and stared blankly at the starry path outside, letting Lin Xiangwan twist it in her palm without moving.
Lin Xiangwan noticed that since the cripple left, Xu Mingfei no longer cried. Her hands were trembling slightly in her palms. She didn't know whether it was because of pain or something else.
"Are you... okay? Are there any injuries?" Lin Xiangwan held Xu Mingfei's wrist tightly to stop the blood from flowing freely.
When Xu Mingfei heard her words, she seemed to have regained some clarity. She turned her gaze to Lin Xiangwan, and then gave her a sad smile, "I'm sorry to trouble you... Miss Lin... let the guests see such a thing."
, it was my dereliction of duty.”
As Xu Mingfei spoke, she struggled to stand up. Lin Xiangwan noticed that when she stood up, her right leg seemed to be weak. He thought her leg was also cut, so Lin Xiangwan rolled up Xu Mingfei's trousers.
stand up.
When he saw her calves, Lin Xiangwan couldn't help but take a breath.
"Is this... what he did?"
The white and slender calves were covered with old and new bruises in a criss-cross pattern. The wounds were all exactly the same, long and long, as if someone had hit them hard and hard with something.
Lin Xiangwan suddenly thought of the crutch in the man's hand, veins appeared on her forehead, and there was a hint of cruelty in her voice.
Xu Mingfei gently lowered his trousers, then shook his head and said, "It's not the second young master...it was me who accidentally bumped into..."
"Don't lie!" Lin Xiangwan said bitterly. She was just a housekeeper, not a boxer. How could there be such messy scars on her body?! "That cripple is Baili Tong?! Why should he hit you? You
Isn't she his sister-in-law? Why is no one taking care of him? "
Hearing Lin Xiangwan call Baili Tong Laizi, Xu Mingfei's face immediately turned pale again. She hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, "The second young master didn't mean it. He can't control himself sometimes, and he didn't want to."
, he himself is also very sad..."
"What do you mean you can't control yourself? Does he have a mental problem?" Lin Xiangwan thought of the secrets of the Baili family that Morolo had just told him, and couldn't help but think that Baili Tong had been in a car accident. Could it be that he not only
The leg is lame and the head is damaged?
But this time, Xu Mingfei didn't answer her. She closed her lips tightly and her face was all gray with despair.
For some reason, Lin Xiangwan had a special feeling for Xu Mingfei when she met her for the first time. Although she couldn't describe this feeling, if she had to say it, it was probably the feeling that people often say fell in love at first sight.
When you see someone, it feels like she is seeing you in the mirror and meeting another self in the world.
Even the way she looked injured and in distress at this moment was so consistent with her memory.
They are all women, and throughout their lives they long to be collected, properly placed, and carefully preserved. To prevent her from being surprised, to prevent her from suffering, to prevent her from wandering around, and to prevent her from having no branches to rely on.
But that man, she knew, they always knew, he would never come.
In their best years, the person they met left them with wounds all over their body.
The scars will remain forever if they don't go away. The spots remind them that everything they think is precious is as insignificant to that person as an ant.
He was never the lover she hoped for, never would be.
"That person just now... is Mr. Chu?" Xu Mingfei asked after being silent for too long. She could feel that Lin Xiangwan was really worried about her, unlike some people who just wanted to inquire about her privacy. That's all.
The matter was too involved and it was really not convenient for her to talk about it.
Lin Xiangwan didn't know how the topic was brought to her, but she didn't hide it and nodded, "It's him."
"No wonder." Xu Mingfei smiled lightly, "Only such a special man can be worthy of you."
