Red apricots make spring

Chapter 38
Rourou and Aunt Liu stood silently in front of the bed, each with their own thoughts, and didn't notice Xiaohuan for a while, but the girl suddenly rushed out from the corner of the bed with lightning speed, and reached out to touch the hand that Wenrou threw on the bed. The scissors in the basket, and then aimed at his own throat and stabbed suddenly.

"Don't!" Wen Rou exclaimed, and she didn't know where the strength came from, and rushed forward to grab the scissors, but Xiaohuan used too much force, the tip of the scissors pierced Wen Rou's hand fiercely, and then slashed Going out, a long bloodstain was drawn on her own neck.

"You're crazy!" Mrs. Liu also rushed up, twisted Xiaohuan's hand hard, snatched the scissors, threw them far away into the corner, and hurriedly checked her injuries, but fortunately the scissors were gently With a resistance of the hand, the strength was reduced, and the direction was tilted, the main artery in the neck was not punctured, but a lot of blood also flowed out, which made Xiaohuan's collar wet.

Seeing Xiaohuan's injury, Mrs. Liu felt anxious and hurt. She couldn't bear to scold her, and she wanted to let go but she was afraid that she would commit suicide again, so she cried, "If you are so cruel and want to commit suicide by leaving your mother behind, how about our mother?" The two of you will die together today!"

Xiaohuan wanted to die for a moment, but after being stopped by Gentleness, her whole body's strength seemed to be emptied, and she no longer had the courage to put all her eggs in one basket. Seeing her mother crying so miserably with her arms around her, she couldn't help it. And then shed tears again.

"Hurry up and put some medicine on Xiaohuan." Rourou endured the pain, and reminded Aunt Liu that if there is too much blood flow, people will die, let alone Xiaohuan hurt her fragile neck.

Aunt Liu was reminded by her, she hurriedly let go of Xiaohuan, looked into her eyes and asked softly, "Promise mother, don't commit suicide again, okay?"

Xiaohuan closed her eyes that had been swollen from crying, bit her lips and nodded silently, and nodded again, a stream of crystal clear tears rolled down her cheeks, smeared with blood, and split open on her clothes. Bright red flowers came out.

The injury on Ruan Rou's hand was actually more serious than Xiaohuan's, but she was lucky, she didn't hurt her muscles and bones, but her right hand was injured, and she might not be able to use a kitchen knife for several days.Fortunately, Mrs. Liu is a cook, so when she cut vegetables, she would accidentally cut her hand, but there was good medicine for knife wounds in the house. While weeping, she cleaned the wounds for them respectively, and looked for them again. He brought out the medicine for the knife wound, applied the medicine and bandaged them up, then sat down on the bedside exhaustedly, hugged Xiaohuan and softly comforted her, and she also shed silent tears.Wen Rou stood beside her and looked at her, feeling that she seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden.

"Sister Liu, are you there?"

Time flies, and after this scene, the sun has already risen above the head before you know it, and it is time to prepare lunch. The cook in the big kitchen came to the door, waiting for Mrs. Liu's order, and asked her what she wanted for lunch. cook some dishes.

"Here, you wait." Mrs. Liu hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face, tried her best to bear the sadness, pretended to be nonchalant, and then softly said: "You stay here with Xiaohuan. Where is the girl, I will send someone to tell her later, just say that you hurt my hand while killing fish for me, so ask her for a leave."

"Sister Liu?" The cook outside shouted again.

Can't say anything more at this moment, Mrs. Liu glanced at Wen Rou and Xiaohuan, and said in a deep voice, "I'll talk about everything when I come back!" Then she straightened her temple hair, straightened her clothes, and opened the door with a "squeak" , and shouted to the cook outside the house: "What are you doing yelling? I'm not deaf yet!"

Her body blocked the cook who was still about to look into the house, and she urged her, "Let's go!", then quickly dodged out and closed the door behind her.

Wenrou stood behind the door, heard their footsteps gradually receding, immediately bolted the door, and sat back beside Xiaohuan, not knowing how to comfort her, so she had to imitate Mrs. Liu and hug her , while patting her on the back lightly, while meditating in his heart how to avenge her.

Xiaohuan may have cried the whole morning, was injured again, and was exhausted long ago. At this time, she didn't struggle at all, and obediently let her be hugged gently, her eyes were dry, as if the tears had run out, He choked dryly from time to time, staring blankly at the corner of the bed.

The two of them cuddled silently like this for an unknown how long, time seemed to stand still for them, and it seemed that Auntie Liu had just gone out for a while, and immediately came back.

Mrs. Liu came back with a small pot of chicken soup, and wanted to persuade Xiaohuan to drink some, but Xiaohuan didn't seem to want to move, ignored her, and only half-lyed in Gentle's arms in a daze.No matter how persuasive she was, she shook her head and lost her appetite.Mrs. Liu sighed, and didn't force them, she went to boil a large pot of hot water in silence, found the bathtub, and then softly said to Xiaohuan: "Mother, take a bath for you, change into clean clothes. it is good?"

This time Xiaohuan finally responded, nodded, and said in her almost hoarse voice: "Okay."

Mrs. Liu took a bath for Xiaohuan with gentle gestures, changed her clothes, and combed her messy hair again, but Xiaohuan stared blankly at her girlish bun in the bronze mirror, and touched her heart. Feeling the pain in his heart, he immediately pulled his hair into a mess.

Seeing her like that, Rourou felt extremely uncomfortable, and couldn't help turning her head to shed tears, but Aunt Liu didn't cry anymore, I wonder if she, like Xiaohuan, had shed all tears and started to bleed in her heart.She just combed Xiaohuan's hair again silently and persistently. After being ripped apart, she combed it again, and the whole afternoon passed quietly like this.

"You have to leave quickly!" After Xiaohuan had no energy to mess with her hair, Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter for a while through the bronze mirror, and suddenly said to Rourou: "Didn't you always want to go out of the house?" Is it? Just take this opportunity to go with Xiaohuan!"

"The money for the redemption is not enough yet." Rou Rou shook her head silently, even if she had enough money for the redemption, in this case, would the Zhao family release her?
"Escape." Aunt Liu was extremely calm, with almost no emotion in her words, she just turned her head to look at Wen Rou and said, "I'll make arrangements for you, we will leave tomorrow morning before dawn!"

It happened so suddenly, Ruan Rou was planning to find a way to redeem herself during this period of time, and then walked out of Zhao's mansion openly, but now she suddenly said that she wanted to escape, feeling very uncertain.Escape, how to escape?Can you escape?Even if she escaped, where could she go in such a completely strange world?Unconsciously, he murmured: "Can't you take it easy? Going out in such a hurry, without money, without a foothold, and without preparations, is it too hasty? Why don't you delay for two days, I will redeem myself and go out first, and settle down at home. Find a secluded and safe place to meet you outside?"

"We can wait, but Xiaohuan can't wait!" Aunt Liu said with tears in her voice, "Will that old beast let her go? Even if I lie and say that Xiaohuan is ill and don't let her go up to serve her, what about the second lady! Think about what happened to you back then, and then think about Xiaohuan! She won't be reconciled until she kills Xiaohuan!"

As soon as these words came out, Wen Rou and Xiaohuan were startled at the same time, Xiaohuan trembled with fright at the thought of the tragic experience she would encounter, and murmured: "I won't go... I won't go... ...I will not die..."

"Don't go! Let's not go! Let's go out of the house!" Aunt Liu comforted Xiaohuan in a gentle voice, and raised her head again after a while, looking at Wenrou with pleading eyes, "I know this matter has nothing to do with you, You only need to wait a few more days to leave the mansion in a dignified way. It's just that Xiaohuan is young and doesn't understand anything, and she is in such a daze at the moment. Even if she can escape, it will be a dead end. There is no way out... I... I really don't trust her to go alone... Can you please, go with her and take good care of her for me? In this mansion, the only person I can trust right now is you... "
