Chapter 555 Fate and Darkness Blood Stain the Capital
The back house of the Yang family was a courtyard similar to a courtyard. Only Li Xiuzhu's mother and son lived in the huge courtyard. The servant's room next to it had been vacated long ago, and it felt deserted as soon as they entered.

There is a light bulb hanging under the eaves in a corner of the courtyard. The power of the light bulb is very low, barely enough to illuminate a small corner.The cold wind blew, and the dim light swayed with the wind as the bulbs.In the faint light, Li Xiuzhu, who was dressed as a young woman, was washing her clothes vigorously.

After washing for a while, Li Xiuzhu raised her hands from the icy water and put them to her mouth for a few mouthfuls of warm air.Although winter has not yet entered, the weather in the north is already very cold.Li Xiuzhu's white hands, whose ten fingers were not touched by the spring water, are now red, swollen and sore from the cold laundry water.

The former eldest lady of the Li family had never worked in a fine clothes and jade food.But now, she has to do everything by herself, even the dirty and smelly toilet, she has to carry it out and scrub it every day.

Life is really real.

Li Xiuzhu rubbed her hands vigorously, feeling the warmth from the rubbing of her palms, took a breath of cold air, and soaked her hands in the wooden tub for laundry again.

At this moment, a faint sigh suddenly came from in front of him.The voice appeared silently, like a ghost suddenly appearing in the night.

Li Xiuzhu was startled, jumped up suddenly, and was horrified to see a dark figure standing not far in front of her at some point.

Li Xiuzhu subconsciously wanted to yell with horror on her face. At this time, the figure who was only more than ten meters away from her suddenly disappeared from her sight. The next second, she was already standing beside her. Before she had time to yell, A warm, callused big hand gently covered her mouth.At the same time, a deep and slightly trembling voice said softly: "Xiuzhu...it's me..."

At the same time as hearing this voice, Li Xiuzhu suddenly trembled like an electric shock, and her body became stiff instantly.She opened her eyes wide to see the appearance of the person in front of her clearly, but no matter how wide she opened her eyes, her vision was blurred by the tears pouring out of her eyes.

Feng Danquan gently let go of the hand covering her mouth, and looked at the woman in front of him with distressed expression.He opened his mouth slightly to speak, but the words in his stomach were all choked up in his throat, leaving only a bitter smile on his face.

With slightly trembling lips, Li Xiuzhu held back for a long time before murmuring in an unbelievable tone: "Ah Quan?"

Feng Dan showed a trace of bitterness on his face, and nodded slightly.

Li Xiuzhu's trembling and cold hand slowly reached out to his face and gently stroked it. Feeling the real temperature from his face, hot tears poured down again, and she choked up and said, "Are you not dead?"

Feng Dan was taken aback for a moment, but still shook his head lightly.

Li Xiuzhu rushed into his arms and cried, "You're not dead, you're really not dead! I knew you wouldn't die! My dad said you were crushed to death in the mine...I...I... "

Hearing her words, Feng Danquan's face suddenly changed a few times, the coldness in his eyes flashed away, and when his gaze fell on Li Xiuzhu's hair, it immediately turned into a ray of tenderness.He is no longer the stunned young man five years ago. Hearing what Li Xiuzhu said, he immediately knew that Li Xiuzhu's father was responsible for all this.No wonder, after he left for less than half a year, she married into the Yang family.It's not that she betrayed the vow between them, but that she thought he was dead...

Sighing softly, Feng Dan completely suppressed his anger towards Boss Li, and gently stroked Li Xiuzhu's hair.

Li Xiuzhu hugged Feng Danquan tightly, and she hugged her tightly.

Feng Danquan's appearance made her very excited, but on the other hand she was also very scared.

Afraid that this is just a beautiful dream, let go, and the dream will wake up.

If it was really just a dream, she hoped never to wake up again.Just hold it like this, for a lifetime...

Li Xiuzhu hid in Feng Danquan's arms, crying and laughing, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances of the past few years.And Feng Danquan also hugged her in silence, letting her tears and snot wet his clothes.

After a long time, Li Xiuzhu's crying gradually subsided.Feng Danquan looked down and couldn't help smiling. It turned out that Li Xiuzhu was tired from crying and fell asleep in his arms.Seeing the lover in his arms turned yellow and thin due to long-term lack of nutrition, Feng Dan couldn't help but feel a heart-wrenching pain.Turning his head and glanced at the Yang family's mansion outside the courtyard, a trace of hostility flashed in his eyes.

A gust of cold night wind blew by, blowing the light bulbs hanging from the eaves from side to side.The two elongated shadows hugged together on the ground also swayed non-stop with the dim light.

Li Xiuzhu seemed a little cold, shrunk her neck, put her face into Feng Danquan's arms, felt the warmth from his chest, and smiled on her tear-stained face.

Feng Danquan's fingers brushed lightly across her face, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.After a long silence, he gently picked her up and walked into the room.When he came to the bedside in the bedroom, Feng Danquan found that there was a three- or four-year-old child sleeping soundly on the bed.His fingers jumped twice without a trace, and a trace of ugliness appeared on his face.But when he looked down at Li Xiuzhu who was still sleeping with tears on her face, there was tenderness in his eyes again.

Sighing, Feng Danquan shook his head with a wry smile, gently placed her beside the child, and gently covered her with a quilt.Then, he squatted beside the bed and looked at her quietly.

At this moment, Feng Danquan is no longer the shadow assassin who has been fighting on the western killer list for two years.He is just an infatuated man now, quietly guarding his beloved woman, looking at her, guarding her...

Li Xiuzhu seemed to be sleeping very soundly. Five years of depressive life made her exhausted. Today, suddenly seeing Feng Danquan who came back from the dead, she vented all the grievances of the past five years in an instant, until she cried until her body and mind Tired and fell asleep.She slept soundly this time, never having a peaceful sleep.She didn't even notice that her son beside her kicked the quilt in the middle of the night.It was Feng Danquan who re-covered the quilt for the child.

And this night, Feng Danquan did not leave again...

I don't know how long it took, and there was a faint crowing of a cock from far away.Feng Danquan knew that he had to go, although he was reluctant, but he still had a lot of things to do.Gently, leaving a deep kiss on Li Xiuzhu's forehead, he murmured softly: "Xiuzhu, wait for me for a few more days. I will let you walk out of Yang's house in a dignified way!"

Coming out of the room, Feng Danquan first looked up at the still-light sky, then looked down at Li Xiuzhu's half-washed clothes last night, with a smile on his face.He squatted down, helped Li Xiuzhu wash all the clothes and hung them on the rack, and then walked out of the deserted yard calmly.

The next morning, there was a little disturbance in the Yang family.A widowed aunt of Li Xiuzhu's husband, Yang Sanshao, found that she had lost several pieces of gold jewelry when she got up to wash up in the morning, and at the same time, a servant in her yard was also missing.Everyone suspected that this servant stole the jewelry and absconded in fear of crime, and soon the Yang family sent out people to find the escaped servant.In less than half a day, they found the body of a servant who had been beaten to death with a stick in an alley away from the Yang family's mansion, and the jewelry on his body was also gone.

After a preliminary investigation, the police suspected that this servant stole the gold jewelry and then escaped and handed it over to his accomplices, and his accomplices saw the money, or they were not evenly divided, so they accidentally beat him to death.

No matter what the reason was, the Yang family was not interested in focusing on this trivial matter. After handing it over to the police for investigation, the matter came to an end and did not cause much trouble in the Yang family.After all, the death of a servant and the loss of a few pieces of jewelry are not enough for the Yang family with a big business.

And the servant who was beaten to death was the same person who was arrested by Feng Danquan last night and forced to find out where Li Xiuzhu was.

On the second night, Feng Danquan sneaked into Yang's house again, and touched the compound where Li Xiuzhu lived without disturbing anyone.As soon as he came in, he found that Yang Xiuzhu, whose cheeks were flushed from the cold, was still standing in the yard, stretching her neck and looking up at the door, with an anxious look on her face, as if she was waiting for someone.

After seeing Feng Danquan last night, Li Xiuzhu's heart, which had been dead for five years, came alive again.When she woke up this morning, she thought she was just dreaming, but after seeing the clothes washed and dried in the yard, she knew that what happened last night was not a dream.Because she always hangs her underwear and outerwear separately, and on this drying rack, both underwear and outerwear are hung together, which is definitely not done by her.Also, she always puts the tub for washing clothes in a corner, not by the well.After discovering this, Li Xiuzhu knew that someone washed her clothes for her, and that person was only Feng Danquan, whom she had cared about for five years.

At this moment, Li Xiuzhu was waiting with some anticipation and some trepidation. She believed that if the person last night was really Feng Danquan, he would definitely come again today.Although she really wanted to see him again, she was afraid of seeing him again.It's like a child who has done something wrong, afraid to face the blame of his parents.In such a conflicted mood, she finally saw him again.

Neither of them spoke, they looked at each other silently.Affectionately, with hidden tears watching.

After a long time, Li Xiuzhu threw herself into Feng Danquan's arms, sobbing softly.Feng Danquan also continued to hug her, stroking her back lightly.

This time, Li Xiuzhu didn't lose control like yesterday, and she reluctantly left Feng Danquan's arms after crying for a long time.Sobbing, he said, "Ah Quan..."

Feng Danquan smiled slightly, gently wiped away the tears on her face, covered her cold red and swollen hands, pressed her lips together, and squeezed out a dry voice softly from her throat: "In the past few years, are you doing okay?"

A wry smile appeared on Li Xiuzhu's tearful face.

Feng Danquan said with self-reproach: "I'm sorry, I..."

Li Xiuzhu covered his lips and shook her head slightly.After a while, she choked up and said, "I'm sorry for you."

Feng Danquan hugged her lightly, and comforted her: "It's not your fault, I know... You've suffered a lot these years."

Li Xiuzhu is like a child longing for warmth, hiding in his arms greedily feeling his care.

After a long time, Li Xiuzhu raised her head and said softly, "Let's talk in the room?"

"En." Feng Danquan nodded.

The two held hands and walked into a room next to it that looked like a living room. The houses in that era were not all suites like they are now.All rich people's houses are a row of rooms, a house is a bedroom, a house is a living room, dining room and so on.

There is only one wall between the living room and the bedroom. The two sat down holding hands, both of them lowered their heads and dared not speak first, and the atmosphere fell into a kind of embarrassment for a while.

After a while, Feng Danquan took the lead and said, "That...is your son?"

Li Xiuzhu froze for a moment, her face was a little unnatural and ugly, and she nodded bitterly.

"What's his name?"

"Ziye." Li Xiuzhu said softly.She lowered her head deeply, not daring to look into his eyes.

Feng Dan's complexion changed slightly, and he smiled wryly in a self-deprecating tone: "Son following father?"

"No." Li Xiuzhu looked up hastily and explained, "I got this name from a poem."

After a pause, she recited eloquently: "Keluodenghua is happy to have love, and Feng Cao meets the flower news. Youzi really uses the mouth of the valley, and he has a great career in Guanxi."

Feng Danquan touched his nose, he was very good at making him fight and kill people, but reciting poetry was really not his specialty.After listening to it for a long time, I couldn't figure out what the poem had to do with the name.

Li Xiuzhu said a little shyly: "Actually... I used this poem to name him because the word Feng is in it."

Feng Danquan was stunned for a long time, and finally a touched smile appeared on his face.

"Feng Cao meets the flower report. Youzi really uses the mouth of the valley, and the industry is important to Kansai to succeed the name." Each of these three poems has a word, Feng, Zi, and industry.

Although Yang Ziye was not the son of Feng Danquan and Li Xiuzhu, in Li Xiuzhu's heart he fantasized that he was the son of himself and Feng Danquan, so this poem was used to name him.

No matter how illiterate Feng Danquan was, he could understand what Li Xiuzhu was thinking.Touching her hand, he sighed and asked, "How have you been all these years?"

Li Xiuzhu made some preparations, then lowered her head and said, "It's okay... If it wasn't because of Ziye, I..."

Li Xiuzhu's eyes turned red, and she shed tears again.

Feng Danquan was worried, and was about to change the subject and say something to make her happy, when Li Xiuzhu wiped her red and swollen eyes, and sobbed, "I'm fine, I'm sorry for you."

Feng Danquan sighed and said with a wry smile, "You didn't apologize to me."

Li Xiuzhu shook her head, choked up and said: "I am sorry for you. I have been waiting for you since you left. At the beginning, my father often told me about you. From him, I know that you have no fixed place Doing a lot of hard work. I know that everything you do is for me, so I keep telling myself that no matter whether you make money in the future, I will definitely wait for you to come back and marry you. But, until one day..."
