An Rong only gradually relaxed after hearing the sound of even breathing.
Turning to look at her, her beautiful face appeared even more aloof and lonely in the moonlight.
She was like a snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountains, pure and flawless.
But they have to suffer and live a hard life with you.
Perhaps he should really let go and give her her freedom.
Thinking of this, An Rong's heart sank, as if she were about to give up a priceless treasure, and her heart ached faintly.
He struggled to his feet, left a farewell letter, and walked out of the courtyard alone.
Yuan Doudou woke up in the middle of the night and subconsciously looked outside, only to find that An Rong was gone.
She thought he had gone out to get up in the middle of the night, so she closed her eyes and went back to sleep.
Suddenly it occurred to me that he had a leg injury, and it would be troublesome if he fell.
Yuan Doudou quickly got up, dressed, and went to the yard. She called out a few times, but no one answered.
Suspecting that An Rong had left, she returned to the room and found a letter on the table.
The characters are so clear they seem to see through the paper, perfectly orderly.
The gist of it is that he doesn't have much time left, doesn't want to be a burden on DouDou, and plans to fend for himself on his own.
Oh dear, if I had known this would happen, why would I have come back?
Yuan Doudou couldn't bring herself to be cruel. She had promised her mother-in-law that she would take good care of the family, and Anrong was her only son, so naturally he was the one she cared about the most.
"Xiao Qian." Yuan Doudou woke up the sleeping Ye Xiaoqian.
"What's wrong?" Ye Xiaoqian was sleeping at Dou Dou's house, and for the first time, she relaxed her guard and fell into a deep sleep.
Ye Xiaoqian got up groggily, and seeing Yuan Doudou's anxious face, she immediately woke up.
Yuan Doudou explained the reason, "Xiao Qian, you stay home and watch over Anji for me. I'm going out to find him now."
"No, I'm worried about you going alone. I'll go with you to find it." As she spoke, Ye Xiaoqian dressed and picked up her sword.
"I'm worried about leaving Angie home alone." No one is more important than Angie.
Ye Xiaoqian reminded, "Lock the door from the outside, nothing will happen."
It was late at night, and everyone in the village was asleep.
Yuan Doudou felt that this was the only way, so she had no choice but to lock the door.
This wasn't the first time Angie had locked herself in the house. She had told Angie that if she woke up and found the door locked and no one home, she shouldn't panic. She could just read, write, or play games by herself.
Mother will be back soon.
The moonlight was like water, and Yuan Doudou and her companion walked along the quiet path, where they could only hear the chirping of crickets.
"DouDou, if you ask me, why bother looking for him? A man with no responsibility like that will just run away even if you bring him back." Ye Xiaoqian complained, "Apart from his good looks, An Rong is good for nothing."
"You're just too soft-hearted."
Ye Xiaoqian stopped complaining. Even though she was oblivious to many things, she could sense that Yuan Doudou was in a terrible mood.
"DouDou, don't worry too much. He's a grown man, he'll be fine," Ye Xiaoqian comforted him softly.
Yuan Doudou quickened her pace: "Xiao Qian, you don't know, he's been poisoned and won't live much longer. I'm afraid he'll die out there."
There won't even be anyone to collect the bodies then.
How pitiful.
Ye Xiaoqian was dumbfounded: "What kind of poison did he get?"
I couldn't tell at all; her complexion is rosy and radiant.
"Love Poison," Yuan Doudou said without hesitation.
Having traveled the martial world, Ye Xiaoqian had heard of many kinds of poisons, but this was the first time he had ever heard of a love poison.
"It doesn't sound like a big problem. There should be an antidote, so don't worry." Some poisons sound deadly just by their name.
Yuan Doudou smiled helplessly: "There is no antidote."
She felt that Li Tianlang's words were just to comfort her.
If there were an antidote, An Rong wouldn't just wait to die.
The two of them went up the mountain.
Yuan Doudou recalled An Rong, whom she had found on the mountain, and guessed that he would still go into the mountain.
In order not to disturb An Rong, they agreed to search quietly.
In the pitch-black night, a cool breeze blew through the mountain forest, creating a chilly atmosphere.
Yuan Doudou couldn't help but shiver and shrink her neck.
"DouDou, take this branch and watch your step." Ye Xiaoqian found a sturdy branch.
She has a longsword, which is perfect for scouting ahead.
"Thank you." Yuan Doudou used a branch to probe the way, to avoid falling into a trap.
Moonlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, illuminating the path beneath their feet.
Ye Xiaoqian carefully observed the ground beneath her feet and finally found a trace.
"It smells of blood." Her nose was very sharp.
Yuan Doudou stopped, focused her attention, and smelled it carefully; it really did smell like blood.
"He has an injury on his leg; he must have reopened the wound," Yuan Doudou said with concern.
Ye Xiaoqian breathed a sigh of relief. It was for the best. Once they found An Rong, they would definitely give him a good scolding.
"Ah." Yuan Doudou tripped over something and fell to the ground, her knees hitting the rocks, a sharp pain shooting through her.
Ye Xiaoqian immediately came over, "Doudou, what's wrong?"
Yuan Doudou winced in pain. She wanted to say she was fine, but the pain prevented her from speaking.
"Come, let me help you sit down." Ye Xiaoqian gently helped Dou Dou sit down under the tree.
The moonlight poured down and shone on DouDou.
She lifted her skirt, revealing blood seeping from her knees.
Ye Xiaoqian examined the wound; the skin was broken, a piece of flesh had been torn off, and blood was gushing out.
She forcefully tore off a piece of her skirt and carefully bandaged the wound.
“You can’t leave like this. Sit here and wait for me. I’ll go find him and bring him back.” Ye Xiaoqian took off her coat and covered Dou Dou with it.
Yuan Doudou looked at Ye Xiaoqian with her big, watery eyes, full of gratitude.
Thank you.
Ye Xiaoqian grew impatient, got up to leave, and left his sword with Dou Dou for self-defense.
After she left, Yuan Doudou finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears of grievance.
She missed home, she missed her parents.
