"Ah——!"

The screams of countless people rang out in the yard, and the guards were almost stunned. Several children threw the fireworks and ran away in fear. Coupled with the numerous fireworks, everyone was in chaos for a while.

The group, several guards looked pale and rushed forward.

I also quickly walked up to Pei Yuanxiu: "Young Master!"

He was still standing there, as if he couldn't react for a while, until I walked in front of him and saw his pale face illuminated by the fireworks. His pupils suddenly gathered and he fell on me.

"Master!"

I caught him.

His heavy body pressed down like a mountain and almost threw me to the ground. Fortunately, the attendants around me gathered around and stretched out their hands to support me. I staggered a step and felt his chin hit my shoulder heavily. Wow.

I spat out a mouthful of blood with a loud sound, and the hot water splashed on my neck, making me shiver.

At this moment, I suddenly thought about it!

That night, the night when the thief broke into my house to steal, a crossbow arrow hit the thief in the face, causing him to run away in panic. Although I had noticed it later, even Uncle Ai told me that I

Within a shot of anyone, but these secret people never showed up.

No wonder, as soon as I took Pei Yuanxiu into the courtyard, I felt a sense of panic and uneasiness, but I still didn’t know where the uneasiness came from. It turned out to be them!

It turns out that their target is Pei Yuanxiu!

But, why?!

Why did they attack Pei Yuanxiu? Who are they?!

I subconsciously turned around and looked at the back of my yard. There was a dark mountain forest where I couldn't see anything, but the darkness was like a beast with a big mouth that would devour people.

When I turned around again, I felt Pei Yuanxiu's two strong hands grabbing my shoulders, trying hard to hold me up. His face was pale, with red blood remaining on his lips, and his pale lips were trembling slightly; his eyes were

Although it was completely dark, he kept staring at me, breathing heavily, as if he wanted to say something else——

"Qing... Qing..."

I gritted my teeth and said loudly: "Protect the young master, go into the house first!"

At this time, the attendants had already gathered around, surrounding me and him airtightly in the center, while helping us move quickly into the room. Susu had opened the door and cleared out her little bed. Those people

With all hands and feet, he lifted Pei Yuanxiu up and put him up.

As soon as he lay down, he saw that the fluffy white fur on his chest had been dyed red with blood, one red and one white intertwined, which looked particularly shocking!

The house was already in a mess. The children in the yard had long since dispersed in fright. Some villagers were looking at them from a distance, but they didn't dare to get close. The attendants had already lit many candles and oil lamps, illuminating a small area.

The small room was like daylight, and it also illuminated Pei Yuanxiu's bloodless face on the bed.

One of his hands is still holding me.

And my other hand was held tightly by Li'er.

She was completely frightened. She hadn't said a word since Pei Yuanxiu was hit by an arrow. She had followed us in, holding my hand and guarding the bedside, and looking at her father with extremely frightened eyes.

, but did not cry.

I was so scared that I couldn’t even cry.

Although my daughter has traveled extensively and has seen a lot of the world, this is the first time for her to witness such bloody and cruel scenes of relatives being shot and killed in front of her eyes, with blood splattering everywhere. For such a young child,

For girls, it’s a nightmare!

I looked at Pei Yuanxiu, then at her, and hurriedly called Su Su: "Take Li'er to sleep in the back room!"

Although Su Su was frightened, she didn't ask any more questions and immediately led Li'er to the back room. Li'er didn't resist, but instead of being obedient, she was so frightened that she lost consciousness. She did whatever others asked her to do.

Just do whatever you want. When she was taken into the back room, she looked back all the way until the blue curtain fell, covering her equally pale face.

At this time, I turned around and looked at Pei Yuanxiu, who was lying flat on the bed.

He kept his eyes wide open, breathing heavily, and his hand holding my wrist never relaxed. Instead, as his breathing became tighter and tighter, my slender wrist almost felt like it was about to be crushed; and then

While I was breathing, I also saw his chest. The crossbow arrow was almost completely buried in his chest, leaving only the last head outside, which shone coldly against the candlelight.

There was some blood outside the wound, but not much. It seemed to have stopped, but his breath was filled with a strong smell of blood.

"Qing...Qingying..."

He gasped and slowly called my name.

I hurriedly knelt down and said, "Master?"

"Qingying..."

"Sir, don't speak."

"Qingying..."

"..."

"Qingying..."

I looked at his almost dark eyes, but he was still stubborn, twitching and calling my name, and then I suddenly understood——

He didn't have anything to say to me, he just called me unconsciously.

I immediately realized something was wrong.

The part where the crossbow arrow hit seemed to be the heart. A person's heart will die at the sight of iron, and there is almost no possibility of survival. But he is still alive now. Although there is blood in the wound, it does not flow too much. It seems that this injury is different from what we usually see.

The fatal injuries are not the same.

However, even if his injury is unusual, it does not mean a miracle, and his breathing is getting faster and faster, and the light in his eyes is slowly fading.

My slender wrist was almost crushed in his palm. I gritted my teeth and endured the pain from my wrist bones.

I know that he never has the heart to let me get hurt, not even the slightest bit of harm, but now when he is hovering on the edge of life and death, he keeps calling my name like this. It hurts me like this.

It makes me realize the pain and helplessness he has experienced these days.

Regardless of whether I love her or not, this man saved my daughter after all and is my great benefactor!

I suddenly felt a sense of fear and hurriedly held his hand with my backhand: "Young Master!"

"Qingying..."

His voice became smaller and smaller, and his breathing became weaker and weaker. Even if I was so close, I couldn't hear it. The attendants around me were so frightened that they all knelt down and shouted in unison: "Master!"

"...Qing...ying..."

I saw that his eyes were almost filled with white light, and he could no longer see anything. Only his hands became harder and harder, and they tightened their grip on me more and more stubbornly. My wrist was almost shattered in his palm.

He seems to be dying!

At this moment, I suddenly thought of something. I leaned close to his ear, hesitated, and called softly: "Yuan...xiu..."

Suddenly, he felt his whole body tremble.

The hand holding me seemed to have sensed it, and slowly relaxed a little, but he didn't let me go immediately, but I could clearly feel that his breathing had calmed down a little.

The attendants seemed to have sensed something, and they all knelt and came up to me, looking at me expectantly. Although no one dared to speak, those eyes clearly seemed to be saying - continue, continue calling him.

I just felt a cold sweat break out in my palms.

However, he still gritted his teeth and continued: "Yuan Xiu..."

This time, his hand loosened a little more. Although he was still holding me, it was only an irresistible, gentle force. And the eyes began to sparkle, but they couldn't find the focus.

As if still groping and searching in the dark.

I whispered again: "Yuan Xiu."

His eyes flickered for a few times, as if light finally shone in. After a moment of confusion, he suddenly turned around and looked at me: "Qingying?"

Tears suddenly welled up from my eyes, and fell down with a pitter-patter sound. They fell right on the corner of his eyes and immediately melted into his eyes. His eyes suddenly seemed to be clear again, and even had a bit of brilliance.

, watching my tears slide down my cheeks, his pale lips trembled slightly for a few times, and finally, they slowly curved.

My vision was blurry and I could no longer see clearly. I only felt that everyone around me let out a long sigh of relief. Even two maids' legs weakened and they fell to their knees with a plop.

In this way, he has passed the first level.

Those guards were already punished by death, but I immediately gave them an order to strictly guard the house and the surrounding courtyard walls, and not allow anyone to get closer. I protected Pei Yuanxiu and made them meritorious.
p>

Who are those people in the dark? It's too late to care at this time, but I already know very well that their target is Pei Yuanxiu. Now that Pei Yuanxiu has an arrow in his chest, I wonder if they will take advantage of the victory to pursue them. What if?

If we send people to kill him again, I'm afraid he will die.

In order to avenge the crime and perform meritorious service, the guards unsheathed their swords and unstringed their arrows one by one, and stood guard around the house. A chilling atmosphere surrounded my small courtyard.

Then, I asked the attendants to cross the river immediately to ask for Yao Lao.

Although Pei Yuanxiu's injury is not fatal immediately, how deep the crossbow arrow went, whether it hurt his heart, whether it can be pulled out, and how to pull it out must be seen by Yao Lao before he can make a decision. In case of delay, the injury will be damaged.

If it gets worse, I'm afraid the medicine will have no effect.

The remaining maids were so frightened that they were about to cry and did not dare to move. Pei Yuanxiu, on the other hand, only turned to look at them and whispered: "Get out."
