Chapter 1225 Midnight

Li Yuexian had a dream.

In the dream, she was a princess in trouble. Her kingdom was destroyed, her parents were imprisoned, and she was pursued by countless deserters.

At this time, a brave prince appeared. He defeated the pursuers, sat on a white horse and extended his hand to invite her.

The prince said, do not be afraid, my princess, I will bear all your sufferings, I will take back your kingdom, and I will correct all the disloyalties you have suffered.

Xiao Yuexian wanted to hold the hand on the white horse.

But I woke up from the dream.

Someone woke her up.

—

"Master Yuncheng is dead. The three hosts are all dead. They still found him."

".Take Yuexian and leave now."

"It's not too late. This city is full of their people"

".how so."

"I don't know. But I brought it back"

The sound grew quieter until it was indistinct.

In the haze, sleep still clung to Li Yuexian's eyelids, and she could vaguely hear familiar voices in her ears. They seemed to be arguing about something, but they deliberately lowered the volume, but they could not suppress the spreading fear.

What are mom and dad arguing about in the living room? It’s so noisy. I have to go to school tomorrow.

She tried to turn over.

"There is another way, Muyue, listen to me."

"."

"That's all."

"No! Absolutely not! Li Xingchu, you are crazy! How could I marry a lunatic like you!"

"Keep your voice down! You woke up your daughter, look over there."

"What. Li Xingchu you?"

"This is the only way. I'm sorry."

The door to the bedroom was opened, and Li Yuexian was about to stand up, open her eyes, and call for something, but her neck suddenly felt a sting. The cold feeling made her want to shiver, but the coldness came over her faster than the cold. The darkness that made her sleep even deeper made her sink deeper into consciousness, all the way to the bottom.

—

Another dream, but it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

But what can I hear?

The sound of scissors clicking.

A low cry.

The sound of things being smashed.

The sound of blood flowing.

The sound of ticking.

The sound of a beating heart.

The sound of a beating heart.

heart beating sound

The sound of a beating heart.

Suddenly there was no sound at all.

Dead silence.

—

Indistinct phone beeps, lengthy, repetitive, unanswered.

Suddenly, the call was connected.

"Well, it's me." He said, "I want to ask you a favor."

The voice of the person on the other end of the phone was very low, and in the darkness his body was lowered into the dust like his voice, humble and insignificant.

The person on the other end of the phone responded with silence and the patter of rain.

—

When I woke up from my sleep, the dark bubbles suddenly exploded, and my consciousness gradually surfaced.

Li Yuexian tried her best to open her eyes. She rubbed the corners of her sleepy eyes and looked around blankly.

It was pitch dark, with only the moonlight illuminating the dim interior.

"Dad? Mom?"

She found that she was not sleeping in her original bedroom, but was lying on the bed in the injection room of the clinic. There were no lights around her. She could only see her father sitting on the chair holding his head through the moonlight outside the window, and her mother beside her didn't know. Why did you sleep on the ground?

Li Xingchu paused lightly, slowly looked up at the little moon on the bed and asked with a smile, "Are you awake, Yuexian?"

"Why am I sleeping here? What's wrong with mom? Why are you sleeping on the ground?" Li Yuexian looked hesitantly at Li Muyue, who was sleeping soundly on the ground.

"Ignore mom for now." Li Xingchu said, "Yuexian, look at me."

Li Yuexian looked at Li Xingchu who was sitting on the hospital bed and looked sideways. She looked at her father, who had always been gentle and funny in the past, and suddenly pointed at his eyes and asked, "Huh? Dad, why are your eyes like this?" Golden?"

"Yuexian, do you believe dad?" Li Xingchu did not answer Li Yuexian's question, and asked softly with his golden eyes lowered.

"I believe it! Dad, what's wrong with mom? The ground is cold, mom will catch a cold." Even though Li Yuexian was very young, he still felt the strangeness of the atmosphere. Why didn't he turn on the lights at home? Why does mom sleep on the floor? Why did dad answer the wrong question? Why was he in the hospital bed when he woke up even though he was sleeping in bed?

"Yuexian, do you believe daddy?" Li Xingchu did not answer his daughter's question, but just repeated his own question and looked at his daughter calmly.

"I believe it." Li Yuexian gradually realized that something was wrong, but he still looked at his father in front of him and trusted his father.

After receiving Li Yuexian's affirmative answer, Li Xingchu took a breath and continued, "Yuexian, do you listen to dad?"

"I listen! The teacher told us to listen to our parents, and we are good children." Li Yuexian replied hesitantly.

"Yuexian, do you listen to dad?" Li Xingchu asked again.

Li Yuexian fell into silence. She was a little timid and a little scared. She sensed that something had happened, but she couldn't ask because the only person she could ask and trust was quietly waiting for her answer.

"I listen to my father," she said.

"Very good." Li Xingchu said, "Then let's start from now on."

A figure knocked down Li Xingchu, and Li Yuexian screamed on the bed, because the person who knocked down Li Xingchu was Li Muyue. When she woke up from a coma, the first thing she did was to push the person she loved most to the ground, tightly. Pulling on his collar.

Li Muyue heard the screams beside her and realized Li Yuexian was on the bed. She turned around and saw her daughter who was wearing a white hospital gown with a confused look on her face. Her pupils tightened and she turned around and whispered to the man under her, " Li Xingchu! What did you do?"

"This is the only way." Li Xingchu's bright golden eyes looked directly into Li Muyue's eyes that were red with anger and said calmly, "Muyue, you should know that if we want Yuexian to survive, we can only Do this."

"We can escape! Far away! Just like before!" Li Muyue tried her best to suppress the anger and pain in her voice, and roared in a low voice.

"Not this time." Li Xingchu gently opened her fingers that were holding his collar and sat up on the cold ground beside her. "The nightmare has come true and we can't escape."

Li Muyue knelt on the ground, clenched her fists, and her nails dug deeply into her skin. The pain and blood flowed in her palms.

Her anger and sadness were brewing in her chest, and she wanted to explode and roar. After it was heartbreaking to the extreme, she only let out a low whimper, and her whole body was shaking.

"Honey, we don't have much time." Li Xingchu whispered.

Li Muyue stopped trembling in a sudden moment. All her emotions disappeared like bubbles at that moment. What returned was only peace, as calm as death. "Have you packed up your things?"

"Cleaned up."

"How can I hide the moon string?"

"Do you still remember Master Haitong's relic? When I brought that thing back from under the stone bed, I brought it back with me. It can hide the moon string."

"What should Yuexian do after that?"

"Someone will come and take her away."

A loud slap rang out. Li Xingchu received the slap that should have come a long time ago without expression, and one cheek quickly became red and swollen.

"Mom, don't hit Dad!" Xiao Yuexian, who had been at a loss from beginning to end, suddenly screamed and got up.

She didn't know what happened, and she didn't want to know what happened. She only knew that she wanted to protect her father now. She who was usually most afraid of her mother suddenly looked at Li Muyue angrily at this moment.

Li Muyue looked into Li Yuexian's eyes and was slightly startled, then lowered her head and was speechless.

Before Xiao Yuexian could fully get up from the quilt, Li Xingchu reached out and pushed her back to the bed. "Don't move, Yuexian. The surgery has just ended, and your body can't support too strenuous exercise yet."

"Surgery. What kind of surgery?" Li Yuexian said blankly.

".Nothing." Li Xingchu took a deep breath.

"Dad, does it hurt?" Xiao Yuexian tried to touch Li Xingchu's red and swollen cheek.

Li Xingchu gently held her delicate wrist, feeling the temperature and pulse, "Dad, it doesn't hurt, compared to this"

"Listen to your father, Yuexian." Li Muyue sat on the edge of the bed, reaching out and gently touching her daughter's face. She stared at the little moon, as if she wanted to remember her in her heart forever, "Just this night, listen Listen carefully to your father's words and don't miss a word."

"Did you have a fight?"

"Yes, your father and I had a big fight."

"Then will you get divorced?"

"Most likely not. If you want to get divorced, I'm afraid it will take you the next life."

"Although your mother and I had a fight, your mother and I have the same position now, which is to protect you and let you escape." Li Xingchu said slowly, "So you have to listen to me carefully. "

"Escape? Where are you going? Aren't we at home?"

Something was crumbling, the mountainous outline toppling.

"Promise me, Yuexian, you don't need to ask any more questions, because you can't understand those things now." Li Xingchu said, "My mother and I will hide you in a while, just like you played hide and seek in kindergarten. Same thing. Yes, after hiding you, my mother and I will also hide. Then bad people will come to us. No matter who my mother or I is found, you cannot come out. You must hide where I hide you until someone finds you. .”

"Bad guy? Dad, can't we call the police?"

"It seems that the kindergarten tuition fee was not in vain." Li Xingchu smiled and touched Xiaoyue's hair. "The police can't help us. The only one who can help us is you. As long as you hide and are not found, then my mother and I will be fine." It's a win, so I want you to be hidden for a while and you can't speak or move. No matter what you hear, smell or see, you can't make a sound, but don't fall asleep either, because you're not sleeping well. Make a noise.”

"Then where am I hiding?"

"What about the bottom of the bed? There are hollow panels under the bed in the injection room. If you curl up a little, there will be enough space for Yuexian to hide in. As long as some holes are opened in the partitions, the air can circulate." Li Muyue asked.

Li Xingchu immediately got up and moved the other bed with Li Muyue. As expected, there were large and small partitions underneath. Li Muyue took out the scissors by the window and was responsible for opening the air holes. He turned around and picked up Xiao Yuexian on the bed. , walked to the partition and wanted to put her down, but the other party hugged her tightly and remained motionless.

Li Xingchu could feel his daughter's trembling and crying. No matter how precocious and young she was, she still couldn't bear the invisible fear and pressure. He didn't rush to put his daughter into the partition because he knew that this might be the last time in this life. Hug this little cutie.

Li Muyue gently hugged the daughter in Li Xingchu's arms, kissed the top of her head, took over and put her into a larger partition.

"Wear this, don't lose it." Li Xingchu handed the relic to his daughter who was curled up in the partition and said softly, "Promise dad and mom not to make a sound no matter what happens outside. Even if mom and dad are killed Even if you are found, you can’t cry. As long as you are not found, the three of us will win, do you understand?”

Li Yuexian didn't answer, just curled up inside, crying and looking blankly at his parents standing beside the bed.

"She will be obedient." Li Muyue looked at Yuexian and smiled, "After all, she has always been an obedient child."

The partition was put down.

Xiao Yuexian's eyes gradually fell into darkness. At the last moment, she wanted to call out to her parents, but their words lingered in her ears, making her swallow all the sounds.

She didn't know what happened, why her parents, who had always loved each other, were quarreling, she didn't know what the operation her father was talking about was, and she didn't know what bad guy was coming to see them.

She didn't know anything, but that didn't stop her from feeling the fear of her parents.

The mainstay of her life, the sky in her daughter's eyes, is now trembling and fearful, so the fear that the cub under their protection must bear is several times greater.

But just as his parents said, Li Yuexian has always been obedient.

She didn't know the ins and outs of everything, but that didn't stop her from understanding one thing tonight.

Listen to mom and dad, hide under the bed, don't make a sound, and don't move until someone finds her.

The only sound in the darkness was her breathing.
