Broken wings

She was silent for a while, then nodded slightly, then raised her head, opened two dark eyes, looked at Qi Xiu, and said the first words she said to Qi Xiu: "Why?"

Qi Xiu couldn't answer, but took her back to her house, and then watched her outside the door as if nothing had happened, when nothing happened, without telling anyone about this atrocity, she did whatever she had to do, and then always when she passed by groups of men, she hid far away, and her frightened head was about to shrink into her neck.

The heartache was almost suffocating.

Qi Xiu went to the attic of their house, and saw them leisurely drinking tea, teasing the girl, and looking forward to the next contact.

Qi Xiu took up the torch and set fire to the entire attic, and the two of them did not escape, and were burned to death in the attic, leaving only the dark skeleton. It stands to reason that she should be happy that they are dead, but when the parents of the two families heard the news and hurried to see two charred corpses, they immediately cried in the dark, clamoring to avenge their children and catch the murderer. When the yamen came to investigate the truth again and again, the various degrees of panic and suspicion among the neighbors forced the strings of her will to be broken.

"Who do you think will be so ruthless, they died so miserably, will it be our turn next?".

"Don't worry, the yamen will definitely find out who did it and put him to death. "

"It's a pity that such a young man died......

".

Their parents wept in front of the burned corpses: "If I catch someone who killed my son, I will cut him with a thousand ......knives."

"The son I raised with great difficulty, who killed him so ruthlessly......

".

Qi Xiu was trembling all over, she watched the servants digging for ashes and checking the footprints on the ground, hurriedly ran home, locked the door tightly, and then turned her back to the door and gasped.

Back at home, every day they were talking, talking about who the murderer was, why he killed them, and it didn't help that Qi Xiu covered his ears.

The yamen

investigated for more than ten days and didn't find out why, and Qi Xiujin couldn't help but suspect that this yamen was just receiving money out of thin air.

But the neighbors and towns talked about it in front of her ears all day long, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Qi Xiu felt tired and unbearable, she thought that she had never lived a bright and upright life, and she would not be able to do superficial work, and she could not live a life of hiding and fear. So she ran to her best friend and wanted to ask her if she was going to the yamen to turn herself in, but her friend said in a very impatient tone, saying that she still had to watch the child.

They didn't know that I killed people, but they were all nagging in my ears every day, wondering who the murderer was, and why they wanted to kill their two excellent young people.

Qi Xiu felt that the past many years of life were very tired, not good at all, there were no good things left, she suddenly thought of the day when she came out of the yamen, the little girl asked herself, "Why?"

Qi Xiujin understood that all this was an illusion, and there was no righteousness and courage, and he did not draw a sword to help, and the little girl he met was his former self. Now that I have grown up, I have seen my weak self again.

Why

can they bully people at will? Why don't they have the courage to seek justice? Don't even dare to say no?

But no one gave her an idea, so she didn't want to pretend like this anymore, so she took the initiative to say to the official who was investigating the case: "There is no need to investigate the murderers, I killed them." "

"You?" the official looked at her, as if to gauge credibility, "what enmity do you have with them?

"When I was young, they caused a great shadow on my psychology, so I couldn't get out of that shadow for a long time, and I didn't dare to be intimate with men when I grew up, I always felt that they approached me for a purpose, until now, people and children of the same age as me are almost ten years old, and I haven't married yet...... "Qi Xiu pilgrimage tears fell, "Why do they hurt others, but they can still live so healthy and free, and the people who are hurt dare not see people...... How can there be such a truth in the world......".

The official was a little sympathetic to her, but killing someone is killing someone, and according to the laws of the Yuan Kingdom, it must be sentenced.

"In any case, you should not cross the law to punish others, according to the law you will definitely be beheaded for public display, let's go together to intercede with the adults, but the capital crime can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, and it is estimated that the lightest punishment will be sixty or seventy years in prison. Maybe your parents won't survive to get you out of prison, so go see them again and thank them for their nurturing grace. "

"Sixty or seventy years...... Qi Xiu rolled his eyes, and counted the days with his fingers, "When I am released from prison, won't I be over eighty years old...... I was over eighty years old, and then I had nothing left......

".

Vaguely she heard her mother's voice, crying hoarsely, and said to the servant: "My daughter can't kill anyone, my daughter is a good person, you can't arrest her...... A girl's family is in jail, so what will she do in the future......".

Qi Xiu wanted to call her loudly, but there was not a single sound in her throat, tears rushed out wildly, and her mouth opened to the maximum, but she couldn't hear a sound.

She sat in a cell, lived with many female prisoners, and was given food and clothes every day, without a single break. Until one day, when it was dark and food and clothes were not delivered, she realized something, and banged on the fence frantically and screamed to get out, but no one paid attention to her, no one cared how desperate she was at this time.

Maybe one of them is long gone, but no matter how difficult his life is, he still sends himself food every day, until the other is gone, there is nothing, in this world, the people who are good to him are gone, they are gone...... What can I do if I get out of prison? How many more days will I live when I get out......

She took out the hidden dagger and was about to stab herself in the heart, but the female prisoners stopped her, and then the jailers came and tied her tightly, and tears fell to the ground, and they all persuaded her to live, only she knew, and no one cared about her anymore......

Ouyang Qian called her anxiously: "Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, you have a nightmare, wake up ......" Qi Xiu Jin's forehead was full of sweat, there were tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, his mouth made an unspeakable assertion, and his body couldn't help twitching. I had been calling her for half a moment, and before she woke up, I had to whisper, "Offended." Then he finally put his hand on her shoulder and shook it, "Xiao Qi, wake up ......

."

Qi Xiujin woke up with a sigh of relief, her eyes were stunned, and then she looked around blankly, and when she realized that she was dreaming and that she didn't have to stay in a cell for the rest of her life, she even wanted to cry. It turns out that I didn't kill anyone, it turns out that I don't have to go to jail, it turns out that I can run away everywhere, instead of living in a cell for the rest of my life, I can go home whenever I want, I can go home whenever I want, it turns out that I can still want to meet my father and mother, and I can go back with a ferry ticket.

The

nose soured twice, Qi Xiu felt extremely relieved, when he was a child, he always wanted to die with them, but now he has grown up but feels that life is short and beautiful, he cherishes his life very much, he has a lot of things to do in his life, he can eat delicious food, play fun, and his father and mother are there, and he is not alone.

Qi Xiujin touched her face, her face was full of tears, and it took a few seconds to react, and she turned her head to see Ouyang Qian, and somehow, she subconsciously explained: "I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill anyone...... I'm not in jail, I haven't broken the law......" As he spoke, his aggrieved mouth pursed, his hands clasped his head tightly, tears slid down in strings, and his mouth murmured, "They are still alive and well...... They're all alive and well...... I didn't do anything......

".

Ouyang Qian didn't know what she had dreamed of, but seeing her helpless appearance at the moment, he persuaded softly: "It's okay, it's just a dream, it's okay, it's okay...... Don't be afraid, ......

."

Qi Xiu was just crying, Ouyang Qian hesitantly stretched out his hands, wanting to hug her, but he didn't dare to fall on her easily, and it took a lot of courage before he opened his mouth and asked, "Can I hug you?"

Qi Xiu was crying and couldn't say anything at all, didn't raise her head, didn't give permission or refused, maybe at this moment, no matter what people around her said, she was indifferent and would not express anything.

"Xiao Qi, I want to hug you...... Is that okay?".

Qi Xiujin

raised his head stiffly, his eyes were red and swollen, and his face was full of snot, but the man in front of him, Qi Xiujin didn't feel any malice in him, and all he was surrounded by was a warm light.

I

was born before I was born, and I am old when you were born.

Not a good match is not a good match after all, what kind of environment did he grow up in,

what kind of environment did he grow up in, he is not a person of the world at all, so don't leave yourself any illusions.

Qi Xiu

Zhen opened his mouth and said: "I'm fine...... Ouyang Qian gently hugged her into his arms, Qi Xiu was stiff and couldn't move, Ouyang Qian soothed her head with one hand, and gently rubbed her arm with the other: "It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to be afraid of anything, nothing happened, dreams and reality are opposite, the situation in the dream is very bad, it means that you will meet good people and good things in reality." "

Qi Xiu was stunned, she didn't speak, she wanted to push him away desperately, but she couldn't move her whole body, her fingers couldn't move.

Ouyang Qian let go of her, touched her forehead with his hand, fortunately it was not hot, then looked at her red cheeks and swollen eyes, handed over a cup of hot drink, Qi Xiu was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What is this?"

"I bought you a cup of red bean and black rice soup. "

Qi Xiu looked at the cup and drank it for a while, but still took it and said, "Thank you." "

"It's time for dinner, let's have a meal together. "

Qi Xiujin still didn't react, the whole person was stunned, and said awkwardly: "Forget it, I won't eat it." "

"Eat something, it's not far away, go out for a walk, don't hold it all the time. "

Qi Xiu Hajj still agreed.

The dishes on the table are all salted shrimp, blanched vegetables and other dishes with less oil and less salt, which look bland, but they are extremely delicious to eat, Qi Xiu took a bite, and then a chopstick and a chopstick can be fast, Ouyang Qian looked at her actions and felt very cute, so he gently pursed his lips and smiled, with a spoiled face.

The table of dishes was almost eaten, Qi Xiu put down his chopsticks, and patted his more round belly by inertia, just like playing a drum, only to find that Ouyang Qian was still beside him, and blushed shyly: "What's that...... You haven't eaten much ......."

Ouyang Qian smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll buy some snacks to eat later." "

"These dishes are so light, why are they so delicious?" Qi Xiu stared at the plate incredulously.

"These dishes look simple, but in fact, they are quite complicated to make, even an ordinary plate of green vegetables is fried with boiled chicken broth, so it is very nutritious. Ouyang Qian smiled and said, "If you want to eat meat, come to me, and I'll take you to eat something delicious." "

Qi Xiu pilgrimage drank one by one, she was not very good at drinking, and she was drunk after a while.

Ouyang Qian looked at her who was lying on the table and

gasping slightly, her snot was long on the table, her face was full of tears, but Ouyang Qian didn't feel dirty at all, took out a handkerchief to wipe her snot and tears clean, and then sat on the stool next to her, opened his hands to wrap his arms around her whole body, closed his eyes and rubbed her sideburns invisibly, got up to help her, and carried her home.
