"Angel?" Ye Qian sneered in his heart. If there were really angels and gods in this world, they wouldn't be so cruel.
In fact, Dongmei's prayers had no effect, and the Dong family's disaster happened anyway.
"I will definitely protect you!" Ye Qian said to Xiao Dongmei with a sure look on his face.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye, my Mr. Angel!" Xiao Dongmei said with a smile, then looked up at the stars in the sky, with a satisfied smile on her face, clenched her hands in a praying posture, closed her eyes, and seemed to be silently praying.
What are you praying for?
"Are you making a wish?" Ye Qian asked Dongmei curiously.
Dongmei pretended to be mysterious and said: "I won't tell you!"
"Haha!" Ye Qian was amused by Dong Mei. He also looked up at the stars in the sky, but seemed to think of something all of a sudden, just like that night outside Moyun Mountain. It was that night when he and Dong Mei
Only then did the spark of love really spark. He confessed his origins and listened to Dongmei's experience. The two opened their hearts, sat side by side, and spent a wonderful night.
"It's getting cold, Xiao Dongmei, you should go back to sleep!" Ye Qian said to Xiao Dongmei.
"Okay!" Xiao Dongmei nodded obediently, smiled at Ye Qian and said, "Mr. Ye, you should also go to bed early. We will see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." Ye Qian nodded slightly.
After Xiao Dongmei left, Ye Qian sat alone under the pavilion, looking at the endless night, but he felt inexplicably melancholy and sad.
"Why didn't I tell Dongmei the truth?" Ye Qian asked himself.
"Afraid of making her sad?"
"This is just an illusion. Dongmei won't be really sad. What I'm afraid of is that I will be sad!"
Ye Qian suddenly had a glimmer of understanding.
What is tested in the illusion is not anyone who appears in the illusion, but the people who fall into this illusion.
"I lied to her today, but the Dong family's disaster will come sooner or later, and everything that should happen will still happen. What should I do then?" Ye Qian asked himself.
"In order not to make Dongmei sad, should I take action to change everything, or should I just be a bystander and observe the flaws in my mind and will?" Ye Qian was a little confused for a moment, not knowing what to do.
Reason told Ye Qian that this was just an illusion. Everything that happened was not real. Even the people in the illusion he faced were not real. Therefore, if he wanted to transcend, if he wanted to get rid of
In the illusion, the only thing to do is to be a bystander, neither sad nor happy, and look at everything that happens with the mentality of a bystander. Only in this way can he see clearly the essence of everything that happens in the illusion, and through the essence of things
, find the cause of your own mind and will.
But Ye Qian is a living person, a person with seven emotions and six desires, with flesh and blood. He is completely different from the person who appears in this fantasy. His feelings and sensibility for Dongmei tell him that he must prevent all this from happening, he cannot
It makes Dongmei sad. But once he really does this, he will really fall into an illusion, which may cause his mind to automatically collapse, and he will be addicted to the illusion and be unable to extricate himself. In the end, he may end up with the other three people in Lianxin Tower.
Just like people, they are trapped in the illusion to death.
That night, Ye Qian struggled for a long time, but in the end he could not make a clear decision. Many times, people's reason and sensibility will always be on opposite sides, and no matter how you think about it, it seems that the two are at odds with each other.
I have been unable to make a decision for a long time, and in the end I can only go with the flow.
The time in the fantasy world passed extremely fast, and before Ye Qian could make any decision, what was supposed to come finally came.
Early that morning, Ye Qian seemed to be a little uneasy, but Dong Zhigao had already arrived at the door.
"Mr. Ye, I didn't disturb your rest!" Dong Zhigao looked at the haggard Ye Qian and looked at Ye Qian apologetically.
Ye Qian said with a smile: "Mr. Dong, it's okay. You came to see me so early. What's the matter?"
"Mr. Ye, to tell you the truth, I really have a big matter. I want to beg Mr. Ye, and I hope Mr. Ye can help me." Dong Zhigao didn't mince words and asked directly, because he knew the matter was urgent.
If you say it too late, it may be too late.
Ye Qian naturally saw Dong Zhigao's impatience and said, "Master Dong, it's okay to speak directly if you have anything to say."
"That's right, I have a life-or-death enemy, and he is likely to come to kill me in the near future. His people will be ambushing me at every exit out of the city. I cannot act rashly, otherwise that person will definitely come and kill me immediately.
I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want my children to suffer disaster with me. And Mr. Ye, since you have become Dongmei's master, I hope you can take Dongmei out of Banqing City immediately, and I hope you can take good care of Dongmei.
"Dong Zhigao said.
"Mr. Ye, I know my days are short. If you can really take Dongmei away, I would be very grateful. I have a little bit of my heart here, and I hope Mr. Ye will accept it and take Dongmei away from Banqingcheng.
The further away, the better." Dong Zhigao said, taking out a storage ring, which contained the wealth that Dong Zhigao had accumulated over nearly his entire life.
Dong Zhigao understood that after his death, these belongings would eventually fall into the hands of others, so it was better to give them to Ye Qian as a favor. He hoped that Ye Qian would take this into consideration and treat Dong Mei well in the future.
"Okay, I promise you!" Ye Qian had already expected this, so when Dong Zhigao came to him, he didn't hesitate at all. Besides, this was what he had promised Dong Zhigao in the first place.
"Thank you Mr. Ye for your generous help!" Dong Zhigao said with a grateful face: "If I can survive this time, I will definitely repay Mr. Ye for this great kindness in the future."
"Master Dong, it goes without saying, I understand everything." Ye Qian nodded and said, "Besides, Dongmei is my disciple, I should keep her safe."
"Okay!" Dong Zhigao nodded and said, "Mr. Ye, let's leave now! Dongmei has been arranged on the carriage by me. You can leave Banqingcheng now."
Immediately, Ye Qian followed Dong Zhigao to the front yard. As expected, there was a carriage waiting here. However, when Ye Qian came to the carriage, Dong Mei was not seen inside.
"Huh? Where are the Dongmei people?" Ye Qian looked at Dong Zhigao in confusion and said, "Mr. Dong, didn't you say that you had already arranged for Dongmei to get on the carriage?"
Hearing this, Dong Zhigao opened the curtain of the carriage and saw that there was no figure of Dongmei inside. His expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously looked towards the coachman and asked, "Where is the second lady?"
"Sir, the second lady just said she was in a hurry and went to the toilet. But it has been a while and the second lady hasn't come back yet. I have sent someone to find the second lady." The groom explained.
"Not good!" Dong Zhigao's expression changed, as if he had thought of something.
Ye Qian's expression also changed, he noticed something, and said: "Master Dong, Miss Dongmei won't notice, so she avoided it on purpose!"
"This child has been spoiled by me. At this time, he is still acting like a young lady. Mr. Ye, please wait for a moment. I will go to Dongmei immediately. I must let her and Mr. Ye leave today no matter what."
Zhigao made up his mind and said: "Mr. Ye, please wait here for me for a while."
"Master Dong, go ahead!" Ye Qian nodded.
Dong Zhigao then returned to the inner room, obviously going to find Dongmei.
Not long after, Ye Qian heard Dongmei's voice shouting from inside: "If you don't leave, I won't leave!"
"Shut up!" Dong Zhigao's angry voice sounded: "Do you still think of me as your father? Today, whether you are willing or not, you have to leave immediately with Mr. Ye."
"Father, if I don't leave, nothing will happen to you and nothing will happen to us." Dongmei shouted stubbornly, refusing to leave.
"I don't even know what you are talking about. No matter what you heard in private, it is not something you should worry about. My father is still here for everything!" Dong Zhigao also understood in his heart that Dongmei should know something.
, so he refused to leave alone.
However, no matter whether Dongmei wants it or not, she, a little girl, can't change anything at all. Under Dong Zhigao's insistence, Dongmei's resistance was in vain. She was directly picked up by Dong Zhigao and forced to walk towards the front yard.
Come.
The quarrel between the two obviously alarmed everyone in the Dong Mansion, including Dong Mei's mother, brother and younger brother. For a while, these people also gathered around.
"Mom, why did father send his sister away?" Dongmei's brother looked at his mother in confusion and asked.
"Mom, did my sister do something wrong? My father looks very angry. Does he no longer want my sister?" Dongmei's brother looked at his mother with a confused look on his face, and seemed a little worried. What if he
If he makes his father unhappy, will his father abandon him like he did to his sister now?
Li looked at the two unsuspecting children and listened to the children's questions, but she felt inexplicably sad in her heart. How did they know that Dongmei had a chance to survive after being sent away, but the two brothers stayed, but it was difficult for them to survive.
They may have to die with their father.
"Mom, why are you crying?" Dongmei's elder brother and younger brother's expressions changed drastically, and they felt that something was wrong. There seemed to be an inexplicable sense of crisis surrounding the two children.
Dong Zhigao had already arrived in front of the carriage with Dong Mei in his arms. Ye Qian looked at this scene and didn't know what to say.
"Mr. Ye, please!" Dong Zhigao hugged Dongmei and looked at Ye Qian with a pleading face.
"Master Dong, don't worry!" Ye Qian nodded affirmatively.
"Mr. Ye, please help me and stop my father. Tell him, tell him that nothing will happen to us and everything will pass." The moment Dongmei saw Ye Qian, it was as if she had seen a savior.
, begged Ye Qian to persuade her father to let her stay. She was unwilling to leave her father and leave this home.
Listening to Xiao Dongmei's words, Ye Qian's heart seemed to be stabbed hard by something, and he felt inexplicable pain. He didn't know how to answer Dongmei's words, nor how to face Dongmei's questions. He seemed to
She could only choose silence and silently took Xiao Dongmei from Dong Zhigao's hand.
