In the second half of the night, Mo Xingnian kept holding Diao Yin. Looking at his slightly red and swollen face, Diao Yin took a wet towel to wipe it for him, and then brought some ointment to apply on it. Finally, he held him and slept until dawn.
Dawn.
Mo Xingnian opened his hazy eyes and saw the person lying next to him. He was startled and felt his face was swollen. He touched it and found it was swollen!
He quickly got out of bed, climbed onto a stool, and stared at his face in the bronze mirror. Suddenly, he remembered that a woman had come to kill him last night, and it was Diao Yin who had saved him! But why had she come to save him? And who was that woman, and why did she want to kill him?
I also accidentally heard that my mother's father had died and was killed by a group of bad guys. Mom hasn't slept well since then. Now I'm tied up here by these people. Mom must be worried to death! I must get out of here quickly!
Seeing that he had not woken up yet, Mo Xingnian had an idea and pretended to fall off the stool. However, he had overestimated himself. The stool was a bit high, so he did fall down. Then he sat on the ground and started crying. Diao Yin was awakened and sat up from the bed. He saw the fallen stool and Mo Xingnian sitting on the ground crying loudly.
I quickly walked over, picked him up, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Did you bump into something?" Then I checked if he had any wounds.
"Xingnian, Xingnian's face is swollen and looks ugly!" Mo Xingnian said miserably, looking at Diao Yin with his big watery eyes.
Diao Yin's eyes suddenly turned cold. He looked at Mo Xingnian and said calmly, "It's okay. It will be fine in a few days. Everything will be the same as before! Don't cry!"
Mo Xingnian wiped away her tears, nodded, glanced at Diao Yin, and said fearfully, "Is someone trying to kill Xingnian? Xingnian didn't do anything!"
Diao Yin smiled lightly and touched his head. "It's not Xingnian's fault. It has nothing to do with Xingnian!"
Mo Xingnian looked at his face and thought to himself, how could such a good person kill Grandpa! Someone must have forced him to do so!
"Xingnian, do you want to go out and play?" Diao Yin suddenly asked.
Mo Xingnian hesitated for a moment. He had to go out and find out where this place was before he could ask his mother to save him. So he smiled and nodded.
Diao Yin took him out and into the garden. He turned around and looked at Mo Xingnian, who was holding a piece of paper and a brush, and asked curiously, "Do you want to write or draw?"
"Xingnian wants to paint, because Xingnian thinks this place is very beautiful! He wants to bring the painting back to show his mother after it is finished!" Mo Xingnian showed a smile on his face that Diao Yin had never seen before. It was not the kind of smile he usually gave him. He couldn't tell what it was. If Sanniang's child was still alive, he would be as cute as him!
Diao Yin looked at him, then said calmly, "Just paint here. I have some things to do. You must stay here honestly, because the roads here are complicated and you will get lost. If you get lost, I'm afraid I won't be able to find you!"
Mo Xingnian nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite understanding, and then watched Diao Yin leave.
Are the roads here complicated? But it's really big!
Mo Xingnian was walking around with a pen and paper, when he suddenly saw a huge object that looked like a building and a sculpture. What was it?
Never mind, this should be the symbol of this place, so I’ll draw it down, and then find a way to let my parents know about this place, so I can find a way to leave!
Thinking about it, Mo Xingnian began to paint.
On the other side, Diao Yin was sitting on a stool, still playing with the fan in his hand, his eyes were cold, and Yin Que was kneeling in front of him.
"Master, I just think your father will be angry if you continue like this. It's been two weeks and we haven't made any progress on our mission! I'm afraid..." Yin Que looked at him worriedly. Before he could finish, Diao Yin whispered, "Are you afraid he will kill useless people like us?"
"......" Yinque lowered his head and said nothing, which actually was considered as his agreement!
"Master, I know you don't want to do the things he has arranged, but he has the upper hand over us! We can't disobey him!" Yinque said worriedly with a frown.
Diao Yin stood up impatiently, looking at her with cold eyes. "Are you done? Now it's my turn. If I see you touch him again, I will kill you. Don't blame me for not warning you, and don't blame me for being ruthless and ungrateful!"
After saying that, he turned and left. Behind him, Yinque gritted his teeth and stood up suddenly. "You care about that child only because Sanniang's child died, and you feel guilty!"
Diao Yin stopped and turned his head halfway. "So what if it is! So what if it isn't! This matter has nothing to do with you!"
"Why can't you forget Sanniang! Sanniang is no longer here! You killed her!" Yinque roared angrily when she saw that he was still indifferent!
Diao Yin was stunned for a moment, smiled helplessly, and left in silence.
"Master..." Yinque wanted to follow him, but when she looked at his back, she had no strength left in her feet!
Diao Yin returned to his room and sat at the table, taking a sip of tea. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a painting by the window. He stood up, walked over, picked it up, and looked at it. He gave a mocking smile.
Sanniang, are you okay now? If I hadn't disobeyed my father's orders, you wouldn't be dead now, and the child would be as old as Mo Xingnian!
It was indeed my fault. I killed you!
Diao Yin gently rubbed the figure in the painting with his fingertips, and a ripple appeared in his heart. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Diao Yin opened the door and said with a cold face, "What's wrong?"
"The child went into the fog!"
What!
Diao Yin screamed in shock, pushed him away and rushed out.
Misty fantasy.
Mo Xingnian held a pen and paper and looked at everything around him. How did he get in?
Yes, someone called him in. It seemed to be his mother! He vaguely saw Ma Qingyi standing in the fog. He saw Ma Qingyi waving at him, so he ran in, but there was nothing inside! No mother! Even the fog had disappeared!
Mo Xingnian's face did not show any fear, but was even calmer. It seemed that this was also a mysterious place in this courtyard! It could even cause hallucinations!
Mo Xingnian walked forward bravely. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he stopped and looked around. He suddenly felt a little scared. This was where he had just started, because there were traces of his footsteps under his feet!
"Mo Xingnian!...Where are you? Mo Xingnian!"
Mo Xingnian turned around and seemed to hear Diao Yin calling him! Suddenly he changed his mind and thought, could it be another hallucination?
"Mo Xingnian!"
This time the shout was even louder. Mo Xingnian turned his head sharply. No, it didn't seem like an illusion! Diao Yin really came looking for him!
Mo Xingnian turned around and ran in the direction of the voice, "Brother!"
Diao Yin, who was far away, heard Mo Xingnian calling him brother and suddenly became excited.
