Before we knew it, dark clouds were already covered with the sky, the moon was gone, the stars were gone, and the whole world was immersed in the boundless darkness.

The wind blows from the river, with a cool and misty mist.

Liu Xiaomei lay quietly in Gao Daquan's arms, motionless, with only a faint breath indicating that life has not left her yet. There was blood on her body, and it was impossible to see clearly in the darkness. The smell of blood and the smell of Zuojiang River were mixed together, very light.

Xiuxiu sat on the side like a puppet, looking at Zuojiang in the dark night. Occasionally, a little starlight appeared on the river, making people forget where the sky is and where the earth is.

Liu Xiaomei only felt that she was in the dark and was sinking into an unknown place. Her life was like the mist in the morning, like a dream and a illusion, slowly dissipating.

Until a little light appeared in her eyes, as if it brought warmth and gave her strength, she tried hard to open her eyes.

Gao Daquan's face, which appeared in his eyes, was full of sadness and concern, and even suppressed the anger that was almost bursting out of his blood vessels.

"Is the little sister awake?" Madam Qiu stood behind Gao Daquan with a lamp in her arms, as if she saw Liu Xiaomei's eyelids move.

Gao Daquan didn't say anything, just stared at Liu Xiaomei in his arms.

When Xiuxiu heard Madam Qiu's words, she suddenly turned her head, like a ghost. She looked at Liu Xiaomei's still closed eyes, then turned her head blankly, and looked at the dark river surface.

It seemed as if he felt Gao Daquan's concern, Liu Xiaomei's eyelids moved again and slowly opened her eyes.

"You're awake." Gao Daquan asked in a gentle voice as gentle as possible, "How do you feel? Does the wound on your body still hurt?"

However, Liu Xiaomei clearly heard the spark in Gao Daquan's voice, and felt that he would explode at any time like the gunpowder he usually used.

"Brother Gao, my injury is not in the way, I just feel a little cold." He tried to squeeze out a smile, "You go chase after those thieves, don't let them escape."

Gao Daquan looked a little hesitant and frowned and said, "I'll stay with you for a while."

"No need, with Xiuxiu and Madam Qiu accompany me, just do what you do."

Gao Daquan looked at Liu Xiaomei hard, as if he tried hard to see everything about her, and kept looking at her heart.

Liu Xiaomei looked calm, and although her smile was a bit forced, it kept hanging on her face.

"Okay, I'll go chase the thief and avenge you!" Gao Daquan finally nodded, "You're waiting for me here, I'll be back soon!"

"I'll wait for you-"

Liu Xiaomei's voice is very light, with a special gentle smell.

Gao Daquan put Liu Xiaomei into the hands of Mrs. Qiu who was squatting aside and said in a deep voice: "Please take care of Mrs. Qiu, take good care of my sister, I'll come when I go."

Niang Qiu nodded: "Go with peace of mind, I'm here."

Gao Daquan stood up and then saw Xiuxiu turning her head and staring at Liu Xiaomei without even blinking her eyes.

Following Gao Daquan's gaze, Liu Xiaomei saw Xiuxiu and whispered to her: "Xiuxiu, what's wrong with you? Are you injured in the water just now?"

"I'm fine, I'm all good." Xiuxiu shook her head, her movements were so weird, still as stiff as wood. "Sister, you're awake, I'm so happy, I regret hurting you!"

Xiuxiu was happy as she said, but tears flowed down her face. She seemed to have not felt it, and she quietly flowed into Xiuxiu's face.

Liu Xiaomei stopped when she saw Gao Daquan and said in a weak voice: "Brother Gao, go."

Gao Daquan sighed and said to the soldier who had rowed a boat on the side: "You must not have any accidents when you stay here! The official brought the troops and horses, and you just say I have chased you, just follow the riverside."

The sergeant agreed and stood two steps away beside Liu Xiaomei, alerting all directions.

Gao Daquan strode and walked to lead the horse. After a while, the sound of horse hooves rang out and disappeared into the darkness.

Liu Xiaomei looked at the dark night and seemed to see Gao Daquan's departure back, watching him running into the distance.

Sighing, Liu Xiaomei turned her head to look at Xiuxiu and whispered: "Xiuxiu, what's wrong with you? You look so weird-"

"I'm not weird, I'm very good, I'm not doing anything. Sister, I've hurt you, I regret it!"

Xiuxiu seemed to have forgotten other words, but she just repeated it like this, tears kept flowing.

Liu Dahu finally arrived here with his feet and feet high. He saw Xiuxiu under the light from afar and shouted loudly: "Thank God, you are back! Where is my sister?"

Madam Qiu turned her head and said, "My little sister is here and she is injured. Big tiger, can you not be shocked? My little sister is in poor health and can't stand the shock."

This was the first time that Madam Qiu called the word "Dahu". Liu Dahu was stunned when he heard it, and then he was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "My wife is talking about it."

When he walked up, Liu Dahu saw Liu Xiaomei hugging her. Her face was pale under the light, without any blood. There was an unprecedented brilliance in her eyes, but it gave people a illusory feeling.

Liu Dahu was startled, bent down to look at his sister and asked, "Why is this like this? Who hurts you? Tell me to my brother, I'll vent my anger for you!"

"Huang Conggui!"

Xiuxiu's voice was crisp, but it was like a knife, cutting through the night with coldness.

Liu Dahu was startled and noticed Xiuxiu, her face turned pale and she looked at him straight.

"You go and kill him!"

Xiuxiu had no expression on her face, and there was a hint of chill in her words.

Liu Dahu shrank his neck and did not dare to take Xiuxiu's words. What a joke, he was ruined by Huang Conggui's life. That person was the devil in his life. His muscles and bones were pulled away by him many years ago.

Squatting down, Liu Dahu looked at his sister, but he didn't see where the injury was. He asked carefully: "Is the injury on your body hindering? Alas, I'm the one who hurts you again this time!"

There was still a smile on Liu Xiaomei's face, but this smile was fading.

"Brother, I haven't called you brother for many years. This is also the last time my sister told you. Put away your temperament and be a good person in the future. I can't do it anymore, but I'm still happy today. After all, you didn't hurt me. You raise me and repay you in the next life."

Liu Dahu was startled and stared at him, "What are you talking nonsense! It's still good, little sister, you can raise it well and you will get better soon!"

Liu Xiaomei shook her head slightly and looked at Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, tell Brother Gao that I can't wait for him, so I'll leave first-" Liu Xiaomei looked a little dazed, and she sighed in her heart. She didn't know how many years she could wait on the Naihe Bridge and whether she could wait for him in that world.

Xiuxiu looked at Liu Xiaomei, her face moved, but she could not make any expression. She could only cry silently and nodded vigorously: "I will rely on telling Brother Gao! Sister, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for Brother Gao, I regret it, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life!"

"Why did you harm me? You were originally doing it for my own good, for the sake of our brother and sister. But Xiuxiu, my sister can't talk to you in the future. Don't be childish in the future, you will always grow up."

"I'm grown up!" Xiuxiu nodded vigorously.

Liu Xiaomei's eyes began to dissipate, and she was so angry that she was like a wanderer: "I miss my childhood. No matter how I was not full or warm, my family was happy. My brother protected me in everything. But since he was recruited by the Huang family, he was like a different person when he came back. I missed the days before-"

"Xiuxiu, sister, please let me know something. Tell the officials, we barbarians in the mountains, will be like the Han people outside in the future. Don't have people who will be slaves and servants for others when they are born, let others call them, be beaten and scold them, and ask for heaven and cannot respond. I am a person who should have died long ago. The first time the officials saved me, and the second time the Gao brother saved me. I am so happy these days, I am really happy--"

Xiuxiu nodded vigorously: "I told the official, no one should be a slave or a servant when he was born!"

The dark clouds covered the sky, the moon disappeared, the stars disappeared, and even the wind had stopped. The whole world was suppressed by the dark clouds, and I couldn't breathe.

Xu Ping stood under the willow tree on the shore, looking at Liu Xiaomei who was already angry in Madam Qiu's arms, and Xiuxiu, who was leaning against Duan Yunjie's arms like a puppet with tears on her face, listening to the soldiers around her reporting what happened tonight.

Not far away, Han Zong and Tan Hu were standing quietly, behind them were hundreds of black soldiers.

As the sergeant reported, Xu Ping's face became increasingly ugly and finally turned ashen.

After hearing all, Xu Ping breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Tan Hu and said, "Take two hundred people, ride all horses, chase the tall mountains along the river, and after catching up, you two discussed not to let Huang Wei and Huang Conggui go! They are just a cargo ship, and they can't be faster than horses, and the downstream is Yongzhou. I don't believe they dare to escape to Yongzhou city!"

Tan Hu agreed loudly, turned around and ordered his troops and chased him along the river.

Xu Ping also said to Han Zong: "The big wharf between Taipingzhai and Yongzhou is Tuoludong. Use my seal and fast horses to write Tuoluzhidong. As long as Huang Wei and Huang Conggui and their party enter the territory, they will never be allowed to go! If these two people escape from Tuoludong, officials below Zhidong will be killed by the saying of treason!"

Han Zong took a breath and replied respectfully: "Yes!"

Xu Ping nodded, and Han Zong turned around and left.

After the arrangement was completed, Xu Ping turned around and looked at Liu Xiaomei who seemed to be asleep and sighed. Although this barbarian girl was with Xiuxiu every day, she didn't have much contact with Xu Ping. In Xu Ping's impression, this was a girl who was full of love for life and kind-hearted and kind-hearted. She fell in love with Gao Daquan, and Xu Ping was happy for Gao Daquan. It was a blessing for a man to marry such a girl.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such an ending in the end.

Duan Yunjie returned to Taiping Village with the soldiers who had returned to report the news before, and now she has returned with Xu Ping. Unexpectedly, when she saw Liu Xiaomei, she had already died. Xiuxiu's temperament changed drastically, and her original liveliness and willfulness disappeared. She was like wood, with no expression on her pale face, but her eyes were so shiver that she was lit.

Suddenly, a thunder thunder teared the dark clouds in the sky, and the raindrops as big as beans hit the head.

The thunder brought heavy rain and shook the clouds, and the dim moonlight shone out from behind the clouds.
