In the dream, she was a princess in trouble. Her kingdom was destroyed, her parents were imprisoned, and she was pursued by countless deserters.
At this time, a brave prince appeared. He defeated the pursuers, sat on a white horse and extended his hand to invite her.
The prince said, do not be afraid, my princess, I will bear all your sufferings, I will take back your kingdom, and I will correct all the disloyalties you have suffered.
Xiao Yuexian wanted to hold the hand on the white horse.
But I woke up from the dream.
Someone woke her up.
—
"Master Yuncheng is dead and all three hosts are dead, but they still found him."
"Take the moon string and leave now"
“It’s too late and the city is full of their people”
"how so"
"I don't know but I brought it back"
The sound became quieter until it was indistinct.
In the haze, sleep still clung to Li Yuexian's eyelids, and she could vaguely hear familiar voices in her ears. They seemed to be arguing about something, but they deliberately lowered the volume, but they could not suppress the spreading fear.
Why are parents arguing in the living room? I have to go to school tomorrow.
She tried to turn over.
"There is another way, Muyue, listen to me."
""
"Just like this"
"No! Absolutely not! Li Xingchu, you are crazy! How could I marry a lunatic like you!"
"Keep your voice down! You woke up your daughter, look over there."
"What are you Li Xingchu?"
"This is the only way. Sorry"
The door to the bedroom was opened, and Li Yuexian was about to stand up, open her eyes, and call out for something, but her neck suddenly stung. The cold feeling made her want to shiver, but the coldness came over her faster than the cold.
The darkness that made her sleep even deeper made her consciousness sink even deeper, until she reached the bottom.
—
Another dream, but it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.
But what can I hear?
The sound of scissors clicking.
A low cry.
The sound of smashing things.
The sound of blood flowing.
The sound of ticking.
The sound of heart beating.
The sound of heart beating.
heart beating sound
The sound of heart beating.
Suddenly there was no sound at all.
Dead silence.
—
Indistinct phone beeps, lengthy, repetitive, no answer.
Suddenly, the call was connected.
"Well, it's me." He said, "I want to ask you a favor."
The voice of the person on the other end of the phone was very low, and in the darkness his body was lowered into the dust like his voice, humble and insignificant.
The person on the other end of the phone responded with silence and the patter of rain.
—
When I woke up from my sleep, the dark bubbles suddenly exploded, and my consciousness gradually surfaced.
Li Yuexian tried her best to open her eyes. She rubbed the corners of her sleepy eyes and looked around blankly.
It was pitch dark, with only the moonlight illuminating the dim interior.
"Dad? Mom?"
She found that she was not sleeping in her original bedroom, but was lying on the bed in the injection room of the clinic. There were no lights around, and she could only see her father sitting on the chair holding his head through the moonlight outside the window. Her mother beside her didn't know.
Why did you sleep on the ground?
Li Xingchu paused slightly, slowly looked up at the little moon on the bed and asked with a smile, "Are you awake, Yuexian?"
"Why am I sleeping here? What's wrong with mom? Why are you sleeping on the ground?" Li Yuexian looked hesitantly at Li Muyue, who was sleeping soundly on the ground.
"Ignore mom for now." Li Xingchu said, "Yuexian, look at me."
Li Yuexian looked doubtfully at Li Xingchu, who was sitting on the hospital bed and looking sideways. She looked at her father, who had always been gentle and funny in the past, and suddenly pointed at his eyes and asked, "Huh? Dad, why are your eyes like this?"
Golden?"
"Yuexian, do you believe dad?" Li Xingchu did not answer Li Yuexian's question, and asked softly with his golden eyes lowered.
"I believe it! Dad, what's wrong with mom? The ground is cold, mom will catch a cold." Even though Li Yuexian was very young, he still felt the strangeness of the atmosphere. Why didn't the lights turn on at home? Why did mom sleep on the floor? How did dad answer the wrong question?
?Why was it that I was in the hospital bed when I woke up after sleeping in bed?
"Yuexian, do you believe dad?" Li Xingchu did not answer his daughter's question, but just repeated his own question and looked at his daughter calmly.
"I believe it." Li Yuexian gradually realized that something was wrong, but he still looked at his father in front of him and trusted his father.
After receiving Li Yuexian's affirmative answer, Li Xingchu took a breath and continued, "Yuexian, do you listen to dad?"
"I listen! The teacher told us that we should listen to our parents and be good children." Li Yuexian replied hesitantly.
"Yuexian, do you listen to dad?" Li Xingchu asked again.
Li Yuexian fell into silence. She was a little timid and a little scared. She sensed that something had happened, but she couldn't ask because the only person she could ask and trust was quietly waiting for her answer.
"I listen to my father," she said.
"Very good." Li Xingchu said, "Then from now on"
A figure knocked down Li Xingchu, and Li Yuexian screamed on the bed, because the person who knocked down Li Xingchu was Li Muyue. When she woke up from a coma, the first thing she did was to push the person she loved most to the ground, tightly.
Pulling on his collar.
Li Muyue heard the screams beside her and realized Li Yuexian was on the bed. She turned around and saw her daughter who was wearing a white hospital gown with a confused look on her face. Her pupils tightened and she turned around and whispered to the man under her, "
Li Xingchu! What did you do?"
"This is the only way." Li Xingchu's bright golden eyes looked directly into Li Muyue's eyes that were red with anger and said calmly, "Muyue, you should know that if we want Yuexian to survive, we can only
Do this.”
"We can escape! Far away! Just like before!" Li Muyue tried her best to suppress the anger and pain in her voice, and roared in a low voice.
"Not this time." Li Xingchu gently opened her fingers that were holding his collar, sat up and sat on the cold ground beside her, "The nightmare has come true, we can't escape."
Li Muyue knelt on the ground, clenched her two fists, her nails dug deeply into her skin, stinging pain and blood flowing in her palms.
Her anger and sadness were brewing in her chest, and she wanted to explode and roar. After reaching the extreme, she only let out a low whimper, and her whole body was trembling.
"Honey, we don't have much time." Li Xingchu whispered.
Li Muyue stopped trembling in a sudden moment. All her emotions disappeared like bubbles at that moment. What returned was only calm, as calm as death. "Have you packed away your things?"
"It's tidied up."
"How can I hide the moon string?"
"Do you still remember Master Haitong's relic? When I brought that thing back from under the stone bed, I brought it back with me. It can hide the moon string."
"What should I do with Yuexian after that?"
"Someone will come and take her away."
A loud slap rang out, and Li Xingchu received the slap that should have come a long time ago with no expression on his face. One cheek quickly became red and swollen.
"Mom, don't hit Dad!" Xiao Yuexian, who had been at a loss from beginning to end on the bed, suddenly screamed and got up.
She didn't know what happened, and she didn't want to know what happened. She only knew that she wanted to protect her father now. She who was usually most afraid of her mother suddenly looked at Li Muyue angrily at this moment.
Li Muyue looked into Li Yuexian's eyes and was slightly startled, then lowered her head and was speechless.
Before Xiao Yuexian could fully get up from the quilt, Li Xingchu reached out and pushed her back to the bed. "Don't move, Yuexian. The surgery has just ended, and your body can't support too strenuous exercise yet."
"What kind of surgery?" Li Yuexian said blankly.
"Nothing." Li Xingchu took a deep breath.
"Dad, does it hurt?" Xiao Yuexian tried to touch Li Xingchu's red and swollen cheek.
Li Xingchu gently held her delicate wrist, feeling the temperature and pulse, "Dad, it doesn't hurt, compared to this"
"Listen to your father, Yuexian." Li Muyue sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to gently touch her daughter's face. She stared at the little moon, as if she wanted to remember her in her heart forever, "Just this night, listen to
Listen carefully to your father's words and don't miss a word."
"Did you quarrel?"
"Yes, your father and I had a big fight."
"Then will you get divorced?"
"Most likely not. If you want to get divorced, I'm afraid it will take you the rest of your life."
"Although your mother and I had a fight, your mother and I have the same position now, which is to protect you and let you escape." Li Xingchu said slowly, "So you have to listen to me carefully.
"
"Escape? Where are you going? Aren't we at home?"
Something was crumbling, the mountainous outline toppling.
"Promise me, Yuexian, you don't need to ask any more questions, because you can't understand those things now." Li Xingchu said, "My mother and I will hide you in a while, just like you played hide and seek in kindergarten. Same thing.
Yes, after hiding you, my mother and I will also hide. Bad people will come to us later. No matter who my mother or I is found, you cannot come out. You must hide where I hide you until someone finds you.
."
"Bad guy? Dad, can't we call the police?"
"It seems that the kindergarten tuition fee was not in vain." Li Xingchu smiled and touched Xiaoyue's hair, "The police can't help us. The only one who can help us is you. As long as you hide and are not found, then my mother and I will be fine.
It's a win, so I want you to be hidden for a while without being able to speak or move. No matter what you hear, smell, or see, you can't make a sound, but don't fall asleep either, because you are in a bad sleep state.
Make a noise."
"Then where am I hiding?"
"What about the bottom of the bed? There are hollow panels under the bed in the injection room. If you curl up a little, there will be enough space for Yue Xian to hide in. As long as you open some holes in the partitions, the air can circulate." Li Muyue asked.
Li Xingchu immediately got up and moved the other bed with Li Muyue. As expected, there were large and small partitions below. Li Muyue took out the scissors by the window and was responsible for opening the air holes. He turned around and picked up Xiao Yuexian on the bed.
, walked to the partition and wanted to put her down, but the other party hugged her tightly and remained motionless.
Li Xingchu could feel his daughter's trembling and crying. No matter how precocious and young she was, she still couldn't bear the invisible fear and pressure. He didn't rush to put his daughter into the partition because he knew that this might be the last time in this life.
Hug this little cutie.
Li Muyue gently hugged the daughter in Li Xingchu's arms, kissed the top of her head, took over and put her into a larger partition.
"Wear this, don't lose it." Li Xingchu handed the relic to his daughter who was curled up in the partition and said softly, "Promise mom and dad not to make a sound no matter what happens outside. Even if mom and dad are killed,
Even if you are found, you can’t cry. As long as you are not found, the three of us will win, you know?"
Li Yuexian didn't answer, he just curled up inside, crying and looking blankly at his parents standing beside the bed.
"She will be obedient." Li Muyue looked at Yuexian and smiled, "After all, she has always been an obedient child."
The partition was put down.
Xiao Yuexian's eyes gradually fell into darkness. At the last moment, she wanted to call her parents, but their words lingered in her ears, making her swallow all the sounds.
She didn't know what happened, why her parents, who had always loved each other, were quarreling, she didn't know what the operation her father was talking about was, and she didn't know what the bad guy was coming to see them.
She doesn't know anything, but that doesn't stop her from feeling the fear of her parents.
The mainstay of her life, the sky in her daughter's eyes, is now trembling and fearful, so the fear that the cub under their protection must bear is several times greater.
But just as his parents said, Li Yuexian has always been obedient.
She didn't know the ins and outs of everything, but that didn't stop her from understanding one thing tonight.
Listen to her parents and hide under the bed. Don't make a sound or move until someone finds her.
