"You're going to all this trouble to capture a defenseless traitor. What's your real motive?"
Liang Meng leaned his hands on the stone table, looking down at Lin Yi, his questions full of anger and contempt.
Lin Yi raised his head, but he still felt a little powerless, his shoulders trembling violently, and his bloodshot eyes filled with tears.
Liang Meng looked at it and felt only disgust.
"I didn't intend to deceive them, and I certainly didn't intend to deceive Hong'er's feelings."
Liang Meng stood up, crossed her arms, and stared at Lin Yi coldly without saying a word.
Lin Yi finally sat up, his frail body swaying. There was still blood at the corner of his lips.
After swallowing with difficulty, Lin Yi spoke again.
"Yes, I am from the Eldar tribe. But I don't want to stay in the Eldar tribe, and I don't want to be the Eldar town leader."
"I want to leave the Spirit Tribe, but I know too many of their secrets and weaknesses. Not to mention the Lord, even the left and right guardians won't let me go."
"But God has been kind to me. During a battle with the humans, I was seriously injured. The spirits didn't find me before they retreated. I was left stranded in the wild grass in the mountains. It was Hong'er who found me and saved me."
"I had planned to leave after my injury healed. But unexpectedly, I... I fell in love with Hong'er. She was so innocent and happy, so lovely and beautiful. It was hard not to be moved."
"I thought, since the spirits haven't discovered me, maybe this is my chance to escape. Once this thought came to me, it grew like wild grass in the spring breeze. I didn't want to go back. I wanted to stay by Hong'er's side. I wanted to be with her. I wanted to marry her, have children of my own, and we would never be apart."
Lin Yi was lost in his memories, his emotions fluctuating wildly. He would stop and take a break after talking for a while.
Liang Meng remained silent. Only his eyes changed slightly, losing some of the contempt and anger.
"Being with Hong'er, I've lived a happier life than I've ever known. Truly, I've never felt that kind of happiness before. Every day, I open my eyes and see the person I love. I can do everything I want with her. I can laugh with her, share her three meals a day, be with her from sunrise to sunset, and be with her from morning to night."
"I thought I had successfully escaped from the Spirit Clan, and I thought I would spend the rest of my life with Hong'er. But who knew that the Left Protector would find me."
"It's quite a coincidence that Hong'er's father was a traitor to the Spirit Tribe and stole a map of the Spirit Tribe. The Left Protector asked me to capture him and bring him back to the Spirit Tribe. I refused."
"I knelt before him and begged him to let me go and let me leave the Eldar."
"Left Protector said nothing, only gave me a sinister smile. He said the Spirit Tribe is not a place where you can come and go as you please. If you obey, go and capture that person, and you can atone for your sins. If you don't obey, everyone, including Hong'er and my child, will die."
"I've been in the Spirit Tribe for many years, and I know the ruthlessness of the Left Protector. If he says so, he'll definitely do it. I have no choice. I can't watch Hong'er and the child get killed. I can only... can only..."
The rest of his words were interrupted by tears. Lin Yi's shoulders shook violently from crying, and tears streamed down his face.
A grown man, as sad and desperate as a child who can't find his home.
Liang Meng's anger was dissipated by Lin Yi's helpless and painful crying. But thinking of the price Hong'er paid, she felt that this was not the only way for Lin Yi to go.
"You can take Hong'er away."
"leave?"
Lin Yi smiled with a pale face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"Do you know how powerful the spirit race is? Not to mention capturing a town lord like me, even if it's just a random nobody in the spirit race, it would be easy for the spirit race to capture them."
Liang Meng didn't say anything else. She came to find Lin Yi because she wanted to teach him a lesson and seek justice for Hong'er.
Who knew that in the end, they were all helpless people.
Hong Er, having given up on love, destroyed her appearance in despair and grief. Lin Yi, on the other hand, was also helpless, depressed to the point of physical collapse.
With a sigh, Liang Meng walked out of the pavilion.
Never mind, never mind...
"Wait...wait a moment."
Liang Meng turned around, and Lin Yi hurriedly stood up and staggered a few steps towards Liang Meng, his pale face full of pleading.
"Hong'er and the child..."
She understood what Lin Yi wanted to know, but what Liang Meng had just said was the truth. With a sigh, Liang Meng looked at Lin Yi, clearly understanding everything, and repeated it again and again.
"The child died shortly after birth. I buried him under the pomegranate tree in the yard. Hong'er hasn't woken up yet and is still in a coma."
After saying this, Liang Meng stopped, thought for a moment, and added another sentence.
"Take care of yourself, too."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left without looking back.
Liang Meng didn't know what happened to Lin Yi later, nor did she ask. Everyone's fate is predetermined, and since it cannot be changed, all one can do is watch from the sidelines.
After coming out of the dream, Liang Meng did not stop at anything and immediately went to Sheli. After handing the picture of the child to Aunt Hong, he left in a hurry without saying a word.
She was in a very bad mood and didn't want to see any more tears and pain.
She just wanted to sit in her wicker chair and have a good rest.
The next day, Chuanqi brought back a message to Liang Meng, saying that Aunt Hong was ready and could treat Zhenshu at any time.
Liang Meng just sat on the recliner and nodded to what Chuanqi had said. He waved his hand and told Chuanqi to go find Yun Xuchen.
Chuanqi stood there frowning at Liang Meng, who was curled up in a ball on the recliner, and felt very worried.
His head of the family is in a bad mood again. What should he do?
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Chuanqi had not left, Liang Meng raised his eyelids and asked in confusion.
Chuanqi curled his lips, looked at Liang Meng pitifully, and slowly shook his head at Liang Meng's question. Then he turned and walked away without saying a word.
"Is there something wrong?"
Liang Meng muttered something, closed her eyes and continued to curl up in the recliner.
When Yun Xuchen went to Sheli to treat Zhenshu, Liang Meng did not go.
Yun Xuchen and Chuanqi were very surprised by this. After all, ever since Zhenshu was injured, Liang Meng had shown more concern than anyone else, both openly and secretly.
But now, after finally starting to provide treatment, they suddenly became indifferent.
However, although the two of them were puzzled, they did not ask any further questions and followed her.
Liang Meng has been glued to the recliner these days. Except for eating and sleeping, he spends all his time there.
Think about life!
"Master."
Liang Meng opened his eyes and saw Chuanqi, who should be in Sheli at the moment, standing in front of him with his head bowed.
"What's wrong? Didn't I say I wouldn't go?"
Liang Meng frowned and sat up from the recliner, looking at Chuanqi with an impatient expression.
The blanket on her body slipped to her waist, and her hair became messy from lying down, with a few strands hanging down beside her ears.
