【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

Wang Kuan looked at Yuan Zhongxin in surprise and joy, and felt a strong uneasiness in his heart. He asked worriedly, "Yuan Zhongxin, are you okay?"

Yuan Zhongxin smiled and nodded: "It's okay." He turned his eyes and looked at Xiyuan behind Wang Kuan. He felt that there was no sound inside, and there was less chatter from the tea guests. He knew in his heart that Su Yi must have guessed it. What, he didn't want to sing anymore, so he drove away all the tea guests.

There was an indescribable sadness in Yuan Zhongxin's eyes, Wang Kuan's heart jumped and his thoughts were restless, he pursed his lips, and decided to tell the truth: "Sister Suyi knows, before An Lijiu leaves, , hid a letter in her room."

Yuan Zhongxin asked with difficulty: "How is she now?"

Wang Kuan looked solemn: "She's fine, Zhao Jian and Xiao Jing are accompanying her."

Yuan Zhongxin secretly took a deep breath of air-conditioning, and the cold breath penetrated into his confidant, allowing his disintegrated rationality to recover bit by bit, and then slowly walked into Xiyuan holding Wang Kuan's hand.

He didn't dare to let go, Wang Kuan's hand gave him great comfort at this time, if he let go, Yuan Zhongxin might not even have the courage to go in and face Su Yi.

Wang Kuan held Yuan Zhongxin's hand backhanded, and felt a chill in his palm. He knew Yuan Zhongxin well, and could easily feel the hopelessness and fear in Yuan Zhongxin's heart at this moment. Wang Kuan felt sour, I can only try my best to protect the remaining temperature in Yuan Zhongxin's hands.

In the backyard, Su Yi was sitting on the stone chair in a daze, her expression was indifferent, but her eyes couldn't hide the grief, while Zhao Jian and the others stood not far away, watching Su Yi's movements intently, with serious and worried expressions .

As soon as the four of them turned their heads, they saw Yuan Zhongxin and Wang Kuan walking in side by side, and the six of them were speechless for a moment.

Yuan Zhongxin scratched Wang Kuan's palm with his fingers, motioning for him to let go, then slowly walked towards Su Yi, squatted down and looked up at her, and softly called out, "Sister Su Yi."

Hearing someone calling her, Su Yi froze, and looked at Yuan Zhongxin with dull eyes, her face was beautiful and elegant, but the despair and grief in her eyes reflected to the extreme, she grasped Yuan Zhongxin's hand weakly, choked up and asked Said: "Zhong Xin, An Lijiu, will he not come back?"

Yuan Zhongxin lowered his eyes speechlessly, he thought he was ready to tell the truth, but facing Su Yi, he couldn't say anything.

Yuan Zhongxin's silence had already given the answer, Su Yi felt as if a sharp knife had been placed in her heart, every beat of her heart was marked with a bloodstain, the pain pierced to the bone, her teary eyes were hazy, and she murmured softly: "It's probably because he won't be able to come back, otherwise, he wouldn't have written to me—do you know that An Lijiu hated writing all his life, and he always said that his hands were meant to do great things, so he couldn't hold a pen. Can't get ink."

However, the characters he wrote were vigorous and powerful, with deep charm between the strokes of the strokes.

In that letter, written in black and white, told her to feel at ease and to be strong, but there was no such sentence as "I like you" that she had been waiting for for eight years.

The Cheng family was slaughtered, and Su Yi saw all the vicissitudes of the world. She had no choice but to become an actress, like a fallen flower, while An Lijiu wandered on the edge of the blade, and if she was not careful, her throat would be stained with blood. How could it be possible for the two of them to spend the rest of their lives together hand in hand? The few days of happiness in Lian Xiyuan were all stolen by Yuan Zhongxin and six people for them.

It's just a gift from God's mercy to give them alms.

Su Yi smiled wryly, her heart and soul were scattered, and her voice was trembling slightly: "I always thought that as long as he came back, I would spend more time with him, and we should not be in a hurry, but what he said to me today before leaving the door The last sentence is actually..."

Su Yi, I'm going first.

An Lijiu is gone, her only thought in this world is gone.

She still had a lot to say, so why did he leave?

I still remember that she promised An Lijiu that she would sing a play for him, but why did he leave before the show started?

Su Yi said to herself blankly: "Do you think I should go with him or not?"

Yuan Zhongxin's eyes were red, grief and anger were mixed, his heart was filled with qi and blood, and his eyes turned black for a while. He bit the tip of his tongue, the pain stimulated his mind, and said in a faintly trembling voice: "Sister Suyi, I know what you are doing. There must be grief, but if you want to live, even if you don't live for yourself, you have to live for Brother An, maybe in the future, Brother An's grievances will be cleared up, and you have to witness that day personally."

Su Yi was slightly stunned, staring at the young man in front of her knees through tears: "Zhong Xin, tell me the truth, An Lijiu has his own difficulties, right?"

Yuan Zhongxin pursed his lips tightly, struggled in his heart, weighed again and again, and finally told Su Yi the secret of An Lijiu in a long story - he couldn't just watch Su Yi live hopelessly, at least, he had to give Su Yi a rely on to survive

Hearing this, Wang Kuan and the other five were shocked and furious.

They don't understand why there are people in this world who are so cruel and use human life as a bargaining chip.

Su Yi burst into tears, her face was pale, her whole body was trembling, she was speechless, and after a long time, she said softly, "Who is that person?"

Yuan Zhongxin naturally knew what Su Yi was referring to. He recalled the old woman in Anli Jiu's mouth, and that this incident was all aimed at him. For a moment, he had no thoughts, so he could only say weakly: "I have no idea."

"But Sister Suyi, I promise you, I will definitely dig out those who threatened Brother An, and I will avenge him - but as a condition, you must live well."

Su Yi's expression was moved, and she nodded slightly. She is not someone who easily wants to die or live. Yuan Zhongxin makes sense. An Lijiu's death is doomed. She can't change anything, but she always has to bear the burden of life and death. An Lijiu's memories, live well.

Su Yi knew that there was no hope, but she still couldn't help asking: "When will he be executed, can I go see him?"

Yuan Zhongxin couldn't bear it, but he still said: "Brother An will be executed as soon as the hour comes tomorrow—Sister Suyi, I know this is extremely unfair to you, but those people can find out the detailed list, and they can also communicate with the imperial army." Collusion, the secret forces must be quite large, if they find out about you, then your situation will become very dangerous, so I plan to have someone escort you out of Kaifeng to Banqiao Town in Mizhou, where , there are people we can trust."

Wang Kuan was stunned, and said, "You want to send Sister Suyi to Nie Niang?"

Yuan Zhongxin nodded: "Sister Suyi, the turmoil in Kaifeng has not settled down, so I can only wrong you to leave for a while."

Su Yi frowned, her heart was sour: "I want to leave tomorrow."

Yuan Zhongxin frowned, thinking hard.

As smart as Su Yi, she naturally knew what Yuan Zhongxin was worried about, and said, "Don't worry, since I agreed to what I said just now, I will never break my promise. I just have a wish unfulfilled. I want to owe him tomorrow." I will leave after singing that scene."

"Zhongxin, I know this is embarrassing for you, but this is the last thing I can do for him - just promise me."

Yuan Zhongxin couldn't help it, and finally nodded in agreement, but the six of them will stay in Xiyuan tonight to prevent accidents.

Zhao Jian stepped forward and helped Su Yi up: "Sister Su Yi, let me help you to rest in the room." She had been sitting here for a long time, experienced a lot of fear, and now she was heartbroken again. exhausted.

Su Yi followed her with a gloomy expression, half of her body was leaning on Zhao Jian's body, her face was pale, and she walked into the room slowly.

Wang Kuan came to Yuan Zhongxin, but before he could speak, the latter said, "I'm going to wash my face."

Yuan Zhongxin turned around the corner of the backyard, and as soon as he came to the pool for scooping water, he burst into a violent cough, which made his confidant hurt. In order not to attract Wang Kuan's attention, Yuan Zhongxin tried hard to suppress the cough At the lowest point, suddenly, a mouthful of fishy sweetness sprayed out from the depths of his throat, and Yuan Zhongxin hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand.

After the shortness of breath, when the cough gradually subsided and the breath calmed down, Yuan Zhongxin looked down at the palm of his hand, and a dazzling blood red was reflected in the palm of his hand. He swallowed his saliva like swallowing a bunch of razor blades. Shiro cleaned the blood on his hands as usual, and carefully wiped off all the blood stained on his lips.

Yuan Zhongxin frowned slightly, staring at the slightly rippling clear water in the pool with an unclear expression.

what happened to him?

Why has this happened more and more recently?

That night, the six of them finished dinner hastily, but Su Yi was still in a bad mood, she had no appetite to eat at all, and just sat on the bed motionless.

The night was getting dark, Zhao Jian and the others went back to the guest room to rest, Yuan Zhongxin sat alone in the backyard thinking hard, his ears were silent, his mind moved slightly, and suddenly he opened his mouth and called out in a low voice: "Wang Kuan."

Not long after, a slender figure of Yuli appeared beside him, squatting down, with complicated emotions in his eyes, he asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Yuan Zhongxin looked at him for a long time, then twitched the corner of his mouth weakly: "It's nothing, I thought you were asleep."

It was the first time Wang Kuan saw Yuan Zhongxin who was so depressed and hopeless. His heart ached so much that even his breathing hurt, and he whispered helplessly: "Yuan Zhongxin, you need to rest, don't be so exhausted anymore."

Yuan Zhongxin shook his head slowly, feeling deeply hopeless, and the negative emotions in his heart suddenly exploded: "I can't sleep, my mind is full of An Lijiu now - what do you think I should do, when I saw him today, He forced me to make a choice, he said that I would not be willful, and would not give up nine families for his mere life."

"Why are you forcing me? My brother was like this back then, and he is like this now. Why are you forcing me? Wang Kuan, am I wrong? I shouldn't be meddling in the first place. If she wants to prove herself right, Sister Suyi won't suffer so much."

The matter should have ended long ago, but he single-handedly contributed to the current ending.

Wang Kuan tightly held Yuan Zhongxin's cold hands, flustered, and he hurriedly said: "Yuan Zhongxin, calm down first, don't take everything on yourself, you are right, you are right, change As for other people, they will also choose the same way, if you want to blame, you can only blame those behind the scenes - don't blame yourself, okay?"

Yuan Zhongxin stared at Wang Kuan in a daze, and said blankly, "Then if I say that those people's purpose of coercing An Lijiu is to target me?"

Wang Kuan was stunned: "What did you say?"

Yuan Zhongxin was devastated, his eyes dull: "In order to target me, some people treated the matter of An Lijiu as a game, just to see how I choose - An Lijiu's fate is all because of me, if you really want to Forget it, I am the one who killed An Lijiu."
