Chapter 662 Shaking
"Xiaomei?!"

He stood in the soft light of the room.

The sound is warm.The shock in his eyes flashed away, replaced by the joy of meeting again after a long absence.

The woman at the door hesitated and took two steps back.Avoiding Zhang Wenxuan's extended hand.

"Kill the officer sent to monitor tonight. He was brought here by Qilan's puppy. You are here to save lives and heal the wounded, will you dislike me?"

His face, hair, and body all exuded the smell of blood.Although the cold north wind has frozen the skirt, it no longer drips with blood.Xiaomei still dislikes herself.

She pays great attention to appearance.Every day is exquisite. Even if he is sick, has a high fever, and wears pajamas and slippers, he is still far less than one hundred thousandth of his current appearance.

"I have endured a lot of hardships these days, and escaping is the best outcome. This is the wedding room that Yue Xian and I prepared. It is also a place where you can stay."

Zhang Wenxuan prepared hot water, towels, and cooked a bowl of shrimp noodles in clear soup.

There was no suitable women's clothing, so I picked up a set of clean clothes of my own as a temporary emergency.

Xiaomei raised her chopsticks to eat, while tears fell into the soup.Except for Shi Ma, the old servant who had taken care of her since childhood, no one else in the world would serve her a bowl of sincere and delicious hot noodles.

"You can stay here as long as you want."

He tried it carefully, his cheeks were hot, and his hands were behind his back nervously.

Although one night a month ago, under the tree outside Xiaomei's house, there was an unspoken hug between each other, it took a lot of courage to say these words.

She stopped chewing the noodles and looked over slowly with a pair of wet almond eyes.

"I loved you passionately before, and I still do now. But I don't dare to expect that you will love me."

"In order to protect myself, I learned to use guns and knives. The me you saw in the hospital and at home was just an illusion. The real Dong Xiaomei's hands were stained with blood."

"Wenxuan, you are suitable for a girl who grows up in the sun. Being able to see you tonight is already the greatest luck in my life. I will leave immediately. In order for my uncle's family and Shi Ma to survive, I must leave."

The door opened and closed silently.

Under the moon, Snowball stared blankly at the woman who was going away.It didn't understand whether it had done something bad with good intentions, so it barked a few times in confusion.

Zhang Wenxuan picked up the little white dog, walked heavily for a few streets, and then let it go silently.
Dong Xiaomei entered the house in the dark, and while Shi Ma was sleeping soundly, she quietly went to the bedroom to get a clean cheongsam and changed into it.

"Will the sun come out tomorrow?"

"Unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it."

She looked at the gray-blue, distant sky and sighed.I am very happy to have a not inconsiderable place in Zhang Wenxuan's heart.

In the past, she envied Tang Yuexian.She has two loving parents, and her younger sister is a weirdo.More importantly, there is Zhang Wenxuan's long-term love.

At this time, Dong Xiaomei was no longer in the mood to think about what he said under the lamp.

She walked to the door alone, touched the yellowing bamboo leaves in the cold wind, and left the house without looking back.

Holding back the disgust surging in his heart, he walked to Hongzhai and appeared in front of the stunned guards.

Xiaomei only said that the car was attacked on the way and fell into the river.He finally escaped, but the two officers were still trapped in place, struggling to hold on.

"There is no need to report to the general, go to the rescue quickly."

The captain of the guard recalled all the weird aspects of the battle and believed her words.I didn't dare to disturb the master directly.He tried his best to gather most of the people in the house and ran to the river with guns and ammunition.

After the commotion, the guards standing guard in the huge courtyard became sparse to the naked eye.

It's still early before dawn.The bedroom was silent, with only the curtains fluttering in the wind.

The copper stove in the room had good charcoal burning all night, so it was quite warm.I glanced quietly and saw no one inside.In doubt, Xiaomei turned around and searched along the empty corridor.

The light in the study room stayed on all night.Unlike the eerie light emitted from the lantern cage, which was as red as blood, its light was as white as the cold moon in the mountains.Under this abundant light, the entire outline of the person in the room appeared extremely clear, so clear that even the few white hairs on his temples were clearly distinguishable.

"I've seen you for a long time, planning to kill someone, this is a good opportunity."

Xiaomei hesitated for a moment by the door, then tightened her dagger and pistol tightly before slowly pushing the door open and entering.

"Don't go to bed and talk nonsense here. Where did you get the injury on your face?"

Out of professional habit, she asked lightly, which gave him the illusion of being cared for.

"I met a young man last night who claimed to be my nephew. Instead of calling me uncle, he beat my old bones to pieces - it still hurts."

"It has nothing to do with me. It's your chore."

"Meier, to be honest, are you expecting me to die soon?"

Xiaomei pretended not to hear and looked at a Western oil painting on the wall in trance.General Hong coughed a few times and reached out to hold her waist.

"Sit here, I have something very important, and I can only tell you one thing."

She seemed to agree and walked around to the back of his carved mahogany chair.Bright eyes wandered to a three-foot-long map on the desk.

"Going to war?"

"Yes, ten days later. I may not be able to come back alive."

As he spoke, General Hong opened the secret cabinet on the wall and took out a small golden nanmu box.

"Here, open it and take a look."

A silver key was placed in Xiaomei's hand.Hesitantly opened the lock, and what he saw was a dazzling golden light.

Sixteen small gold bars were lined up in the box.

"Meier is still young and has to live. I allow you the freedom to remarry. Most of your savings will be spent on the army. I'm afraid you will be laughed at by the dignitaries."

The hands that were originally preparing to draw the knife trembled and folded together.Xiaomei held back tears and forced herself to calm down.

What's wrong with this guy?

If it's bad enough, wouldn't it be better to stab him to death with a knife?
However, a strange man could think so carefully for her, no matter how much of it was true or false, it was hard to do anything about it.

"Thank you, I don't need it. I really don't need food and clothing."

General Hong raised his face, and his new brown glasses made him appear gentler than usual.

"I have something I have wanted to ask for a long time, and Lu Shibin also reported it. There is a guard in the Lin family who has also been hospitalized. Is his name Li Yan?"

"He is not in the ward I am responsible for."

"But, he is my nephew! He actually hates me now. I want to know why!"

"Because the Lin family treats him like their own child," Xiaomei smiled calmly, "The kindness of raising him will never be forgotten."

"Seriously?!" General Hong was doubtful, "Ayan was not abused?"

"In October, the Lin family was attacked at the Tianjin Railway Station. Master Lin's life was hanging by a thread, and Li Yan was injured. Mrs. Lin sent two servings of soup every day."

"Then, did you send A Yan to study and learn to read?"

"I have met your nephew several times. His conversation, knowledge and clothing are all at the level of young men in the capital. If they don't treat him as their own, why would the Lin family spend so much effort on a person who has no blood relationship? "
