It was mid-afternoon, and the warm winter sun shone through the half-open windows into the room, making it warm and bright.

His wife's words were so light, but to Wei Jing's ears they were like a bolt from the blue, and he was so caught off guard that his heart skipped a beat.

In disbelief, he stared at Shao Qing.

A strand of scattered black hair hung down from her white jade-like cheek, making her skin look even smoother and softer. She was delighted to hear that he had returned. Her almond-shaped eyes shone brightly, the corners of her lips turned up, with a little dimple at the corners of her mouth, making her look very pretty.

If he looked closely, he could see that her dark pupils were unfocused. She was looking up in his direction, but her eyes were not meeting his.

A bucket of ice water poured down on Wei Jingcai's head in the dead of winter instantly extinguished his joy at emerging. He breathed rapidly, refusing to believe it. He just waved his hand in front of his wife's eyes. She didn't respond. For the first time, he panicked and hurriedly turned around to look at Yan Ming.

Yan Ming stood in front of the bed, watching silently, letting out a long breath without sound, his brows furrowed tightly.

how so? how so?

Wei Jing's head exploded with a bang, his hands and feet were cold, and his tall body trembled slightly uncontrollably. This man, who had always been in command in fierce battles on the battlefield, suddenly lost the ability to react.

"Husband?"

In fact, Shao Qing was not that slow-witted. She immediately realized that something was wrong as soon as she blurted out the words just now.

It's too dark.

In her inner room, there would always be a small candlelight left in the corner at night. Moreover, the main courtyard is spacious and has excellent lighting. Even in the middle of the night, the screens on the window to the left of the bed can filter in a large amount of moonlight.

No matter how dark the clouds are, it won't be so dark that you can't see your hand in front of you.

She is, this is...

Shao Qing held his breath, stretched out his hand, and waved it in front of his eyes.

It was pitch black, like the deepest night, boundless and endless like thick ink, which could not be broken through or torn apart.

She shuddered slightly.

Yes, Yan Ming had told her many times that her head should not be hit again until she recovered.

At this moment, my mind was in a mess and I heard hurried footsteps. It was Sun and Shao Bo.

The rest of the people were arranged to wait in the outer room. When they heard the noise, they rushed in and Sun burst into tears.

"How could this happen? How could this happen? It's my fault, it's my fault..."

Suddenly, seeing her daughter's face lose color and sitting there in a daze, Sun felt a heart-wrenching pain. She was filled with remorse. It was her fault. She echoed what Meng said and agreed with the water and land temple. Otherwise, otherwise...

Sun held her daughter's hand and cried. Shao Bo clenched his fists and his eyes turned red. Sun gnashed her teeth again: "That damn Meng, that damn Fu Yun!..."

Upon hearing these two names, a bloodthirsty and sinister look flashed in Wei Jing's eyes. Shao Qing came back to her senses and forced a smile: "Mother, I'm fine."

How could it be okay? She was so shocked that her smile turned pale. She was still in a daze, as if a sharp blade had penetrated her lungs, twisting and ripping out her heart with sharp pain. Wei Jing shouted angrily, "Get out!"

He had a gloomy look, as if he wanted to bite someone. Yan Ming also tried to drive him away. Han Xi and others, who were waiting outside the screen with serious expressions, began to persuade him.

The symptoms have been confirmed, and now we have to ask Yan Ming to see if there is any way to remedy the situation.

Sun knew that she shouldn't make a noise, so she covered her mouth and cried quietly. Although she was anxious and worried, she left after being persuaded a few times, looking back every few steps.

…

The room fell silent, with only three breathing sounds of varying degrees of intensity remaining.

"Ah Qing."

Wei Jing's voice was hoarse. He sat beside the bed and held his wife's hand tightly.

"Um."

Shao Qing felt heavy in her heart, but she did not regret it. If it happened again, she thought she would probably react the same way.

It's an instinct, a mother's instinct.

She touched her shoulder and arm lightly with her other hand. It still hurt when she moved that area. The baby was so young that if he was hit like that, he would probably die on the spot.

She did nothing wrong!

Fortunately, the child is fine!

Shao Qing's confused thoughts gradually became clear. She felt the big hand holding her was trembling slightly. She calmed herself down and said, "My husband, Cunshan is here. I'm afraid you will get better soon."

It is not uncommon for temporary blindness to occur due to a blow to the head and congestion, and this condition can usually be cured. She had tried her best to tilt her head. The impact on her head was much lighter than on her shoulders and arms. If it wasn't an old injury, she would probably be fine.

There's no point in panicking, Shao Qing told himself.

“That’s right!”

His wife needs him, he is her support, and he is now taking care of everything for her and acting as her backbone. In a short time, Wei Jing quickly adjusted his mood, responded in a deep voice, and turned back to look at Yan Ming again, "Cunshan?"

It turned out that Yan Ming had been there all along, and Shao Qing also looked in that direction.

"I'll have to check it out more carefully."

Yan Ming was not at all complacent after his previous judgment came true. Although he has always been sarcastic and looked down upon people, everyone has come through so many ups and downs together, and now with the ties between Kou Yue and her son and the Kou family, the situation is particularly heavy at this point.

He immediately said, "If she is not feeling unwell, check her out now. The sooner the better."

After asking Shao Qing, he found out that except for her eyesight and slight dizziness, she felt fine otherwise. He immediately asked Wei Jing to help her to the beauty couch in front of the partition window.

Shao Qing was neatly dressed. Wei Jing picked her up and carried her horizontally. He took a few big steps to the couch and carefully laid her down to let her recline. Yan Ming pushed open the half-open partition window, and the sunlight slanted into the room, making the space in front of the beauty's bed even brighter.

The winter wind was still cold. Wei Jing gave her a few gentle instructions, then turned around and quickly brought the quilt over to cover her.

His breathing was still a little heavier than usual. Shao Qing squeezed his hand and he shook it back vigorously.

Wei Jing moved to the other side and gave his seat to Yan Ming.

Yan Ming conducted a series of detailed examinations on Shao Qing.

He first flipped up Shao Qing's eyelids, then asked her to move her eyeballs. After careful observation, he pressed the acupoints. Finally, he took out a gold needle and pricked Shao Qing's forehead, face, and even the area of ​​his head covered with black hair, some deep and some shallow.

During this process, he kept asking Shao Qing about her feelings, and Shao Qing answered seriously.

This process lasted for half an hour. Finally, Yan Ming took the pulse again, alternating between his left and right hands, and listened quietly for a long time with his eyes lowered.

Shao Qing waited quietly, and Wei Jing held her hand all the time.

To be honest, everyone is afraid of going blind. The rest of your life will be immersed in darkness, and the mere thought of it is extremely tormenting.

I adjusted myself and encouraged myself, but when the verdict came, I was still very nervous.

Shao Qing knew that many people were only temporarily blind, but there were also some people with long-term damage.

She had already been hit hard once before and hadn't recovered yet.

Shao Qing's palms were sweating, and Wei Jing noticed it immediately. He had been holding her hand, and he tightened it immediately.

Wei Jing was actually very anxious too.

His wife's blindness frightened him more than his own serious injuries and death.

Escaping in the dense forest did not make him panic, and being shot in the chest and abdomen did not make him lose his composure, but at this moment he could not control the tightening of his heart.

But he never showed that his wife needed him.

Her palms were warm, and Wei Jing's big hands were as strong as ever. Shao Qing's uneasiness faded a lot, and she turned her head and smiled at him.

Knowing that she couldn't see it, Wei Jing immediately smiled back, but felt it was not enough. Now, without caring about Yan Ming being beside him, he lowered his head and lightly touched the top of her head with his lips.

"It'll be fine, don't be afraid."

Wei Jing told his wife this, and also told himself this.

However, whether there is anything wrong or not, Yan Ming has the final say.

Yan Ming did not notice the couple's little movements. He pondered for a long time. His solemn expression eased a little, but his brows were furrowed even tighter.

This strange behavior made it hard to judge. Seeing him finally raise his head, Wei Jing asked hurriedly, "Cunshan, what happened?"

"One good news, one bad news."

Yan Ming heaved a sigh of relief, and without waiting for anyone to ask, he said directly: "Fortunately, she didn't hit hard, and the location was a little off. If she uses acupuncture and medication immediately, I am confident that she can be cured."

Wei Jing and Shao Qing were immediately overjoyed, but before they could say anything, Yan Ming poured a bucket of cold water on them, "It's just that she's pregnant, so it's not easy to use medicine."

When women are pregnant, they must be extremely cautious when taking medication. Any mistake may harm the fetus or even the mother.

In Yan Ming's treatment plan, medication is an indispensable and important part and cannot be omitted.

However, medicine that can open up the meridians and dissolve blood stasis is a taboo for pregnant women. Shao Qing needed a very large dose of the medicine. After taking one dose, the baby in her belly would die immediately.

"Three months after injury is the best time for treatment. Although the effect is slightly worse within half a year, it is still acceptable. However, once it exceeds half a year, the effect of acupuncture and medicine will be reduced by more than half."

After ten months of pregnancy, the baby finally gets pregnant. Shao Qing has been pregnant for more than three months, almost four months, and a normal birth would have taken place in exactly half a year.

"If you want to give up this baby, I will prescribe a mild prescription that will not harm her body. After she rests for half a month, she will start acupuncture and medication. She will see the light again within three months."

"If you are reluctant, I will give her acupuncture in the next six months to try my best to clear her meridians, and then I will give her both acupuncture and medicine after she gives birth. But I am not completely sure about this."

"Seventy percent, at most seventy percent can be completely cured. As for the remaining thirty percent, she may recover to a certain extent, or she may..."

Completely blind.

Yan Ming didn't say it out loud, but Wei Jing and Shao Qing were both shocked. Shao Qing's palms tightened, and Wei Jing's breathing suddenly became heavy.

"Think carefully about how to make your choice."

Yan Ming sighed, but he had to make it clear: "It would be best if we could decide within the next two days. The two methods use different needles. The sooner she is treated, the better."

Yan Ming knew that this decision would be difficult, so he didn't stay any longer and just stood up and left with his medicine box on his back.

Yan Ming left, leaving the room in deathly silence.

See the light again.

There is a 30% chance of becoming nearsighted, and the severity is difficult to predict. In the worst case, the patient may even become completely blind.

blindness.

It's just a simple word, but you only realize how heavy it is when it happens to you.

Too heavy to carry

Shao Qing had been leaning slightly forward nervously, but now she fell back on the couch exhausted. She was breathing heavily, and when she opened her eyes, everything was dark.

It was complete darkness, dead silence without a trace of light, as deep as the abyss.

Will the rest of my life be completely immersed in this dead silence?

Shao Qing found himself panicking.

Restore light?

Everyone wants that.

It’s just that…

Shao Qing suddenly covered her belly. The slightly bulging feeling was the same as before, but she was asked to give up the baby in her belly?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, her heart suddenly ached, and she subconsciously shook her head hastily, "No, no!"

"Ah Qing."

After a moment's silence, Wei Jing suddenly stood up. He hugged her tightly, letting her face rest against his upper abdomen and stroking her face with his hands.

His hands were trembling slightly, and his palms were wet. Shao Qing suddenly felt something in her heart and panicked, "Husband?..."

"Ah Qing, listen to me first."

Wei Jing's voice was very low and hoarse, and it was heavy as if he was carrying a thousand pounds. After interrupting his wife's words, he took a deep breath and finally spoke in a hoarse voice.

"...Ah Qing, let's not have this child for now. Wait until your eyes are healed, then we can..."

"No!"

The words that she had felt were like a huge stone falling to the ground when she heard them. With a bang, Shao Qing's heart was pressed down. She choked and said, "No, don't!"
