Xie Ling's eyes were cold, and the sharp tip of her pen cut through the paper.
There are three words written on it.
"Xu Haitang."
———
Xie Ling brought the scar removal glue that she had prepared for two days today, thinking that it should be able to remove most of the scars on Xiaoyue's face.
Girls all want to be pretty.
This is what Xie Ling can do for her at the moment.
Xie Ling had been decocting medicine for her every day and burning incense to help her sleep these days.
Xiaoyue slept peacefully and didn't even notice Xie Ling came in.
Seeing that she was not awake, Xie Ling sat beside the bed and waited quietly for her to wake up.
After a while, Xiaoyue opened her eyes.
After seeing Xie Ling, she blushed slightly and felt a little embarrassed, "Why didn't you call me when you came? I'm so sorry to have made you wait for me..."
Xie Ling patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay. I brought you some water chestnuts. Try it."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, revealing a dozen sharp diamond-shaped hands.
In the other hand, he held a brightly blossoming lotus flower, emitting a faint lotus fragrance.
These water chestnuts were grown quickly by Xie Ling using growth hormones in the space. They grew in just two days and are very fresh and tender.
Xiaoyue looked curious and followed Xie Ling's example to peel off the green shell. The bright white flesh was crispy and tender. When she put it into her mouth, it tasted slightly sweet.
"How about it?"
Xie Ling asked.
Xiaoyue stuck out her tongue. "I thought it was delicious, but it turned out to be just so-so. Haha, but thank you anyway! This is the first time I've eaten this."
After getting to know Xie Ling, Xiao Yue gradually shed her cold exterior and revealed her true colour.
Innocent and simple, she is just a cute little girl who knows nothing about the world.
Xie Ling chuckled, "Close your eyes, I'll wipe something for you."
Xiaoyue closed her eyes obediently.
After a while, Xie Ling asked her to open her eyes and took out a bronze mirror.
"Look."
Xiaoyue was a little scared and her eyelashes trembled.
The sunlight moved into the room inch by inch, illuminating the girl's cold and peerless face.
Xiaoyue's eyes showed surprise. She hugged Xie Ling's neck and screamed with joy, "I'm so happy. I can die beautifully."
Xie Ling felt as if her heart was being stabbed by needles.
My heart feels heavy.
"Moon Bud..."
But when I mention the moon bud, I don’t know what to say.
Xie Ling doesn't know how to comfort people either.
Xiaoyue's eyes curved, "I found that we look a bit alike. Look, we both have upturned noses, and small mouths and faces."
Xie Ling nodded.
She does look a bit like Xiaoyue.
They all have a cool and aloof look.
It’s just that her eyes are a little rounder, while Xiaoyue’s eyes are more elongated.
Xiaoyue suddenly winked slyly.
"Xie Ling, have you found the dye? I saw the cinnabar in your sleeve."
Xie Ling nodded.
Xiaoyue said happily: "Then take it out quickly. I'm in a good mood today and I'm sure I can perform well."
Xie Ling took out all the tools and dyes from her sleeves.
The sun was shining outside the window. Xiaoyue lowered her head and painted on Xie Ling's arm seriously.
Two hours later, Xiaoyue let out a long sigh, "Alright!"
Xie Ling looked at the painting on her arm.
It's exactly the same as the birthmark, there is no difference.
The shape is a bit like a beautiful kitten.
With its claws and fangs bared, it is as cute as Xiaoyue.
Xiaoyue took the cup beside her, poured water on it, and rubbed it again, "Look, it really looks like a birthmark."
"Yeah!" Xie Ling nodded, "Xiao Yue is amazing!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoyue fell back and sank into the bed, her voice sounding tired.
"I'm so tired. I'm going to rest first. Xie Ling, you go back first."
Xie Ling didn't want to disturb her rest, so she skillfully lit the soul-soothing incense for her and went out.
After returning home, Xie Ling felt a little uneasy the whole night.
I always feel that Xiaoyue's condition today is a little strange.
It was not until the early morning of the next day that Aunt Wu came running to her and said, "Xie Meizi, Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue is dying, please go and take a look..."
Xie Ling's heart suddenly rose to her throat and she ran to the east wing without even putting on her clothes.
How could this happen? She calculated that she should be able to live for a few more months.
In the clean and tidy room, Xiaoyue was breathing weakly and her eyelashes were half drooped.
The morning sun shone on her face, as pure as a camellia.
"It was revenge that kept me hanging on before. I should have died long ago..."
Xie Ling walked up to her and held her hand, her tone heavy.
"Don't worry, I will avenge you and provide for your adoptive parents."
Xiaoyue gave a gentle smile.
"Xie Ling, thank you. Meeting you is my greatest luck. Water chestnuts are delicious...Go forward boldly. I am watching you from heaven."
After saying this, Xiaoyue closed her eyes.
In the vase nearby, the lotus that had been growing for three days finally shed its last petal and withered quietly.
Xie Ling and Aunt Wu buried Xiaoyue under the apricot tree in the back mountain.
The most beautiful sight in Xinghua Village is the blooming apricot blossoms and the misty rain in spring.
Xiaoyue, I think you will like it.
On the third day after Xiaoyue's death, Leader Shen informed them that the official road had been repaired and they could continue on their journey.
When she reached the entrance of the village, Xie Ling lifted her sleeves and looked at the birthmark on her arm.
For some reason, she always felt that the kitten was squinting its eyes and smiling at her gently.

Floods in the southwest caused widespread crop death and washed away the grain stored by every household.
