Chapter 197: Letting Go (Part 1)
Outside Linchuan City, fog suddenly began to fall in the evening, and the moonlight was hazy and could not shine in the depths of the valley.
But this deep valley is not dead silent. There are gurgling streams, tinkling, clanging people's heartstrings one after another, and ringing all night.
Xu Muling leaned against the stone wall, her eyes were particularly clear in the dark, but she was trembling.
The lower the lying, the colder it is, just like the well water on a summer night. It is precisely because of the low lying that it can be kept cool.
Xu Muling bent one leg and stretched out the other leg straight out. If she wanted to curl up and keep warm, she would definitely not do such a move.
There were fallen leaves in the deep valley, thick and soft soil. When the two fell down immediately, they fell on the rock stand first and fell into a mess, but they finally cushioned and stopped the falling momentum. Therefore, when they fell on the soft soil at the bottom of the valley, neither of them was seriously injured.
However, Xu Muling's leg fell on the rock rack and broke. At first, she could barely crawl. She used the leaves to fill some stream water and gathered a bunch of branches. However, Xu Muling lost the fire and could not light the fire, so she naturally could not keep warm.
At night, Xu Muling's legs became more and more painful, and she couldn't even move. She could only listen to the sound of the flowing stream in a dark concentration, trembling.
This darkness made Xu Muling a little dazed, and this helplessness made Xu Muling feel a little overwhelmed.
Don’t think that a girl in her twenties has no past. She looks strong, but it doesn’t mean she will not be fragile.
"Bai Shu." Xu Muling shouted softly, but he did not receive any response for a long time.
Bai Shu was lying beside Xu Muling with his dead leaves. The fallen damage was not fatal to Bai Shu. The real trouble was the damage that Amu finally exploded the Qihai.
Although Bai Shu's body was extremely powerful, after refining his body, he was completely transformed by the sword spirit energy. He also absorbed the pure spiritual wood energy of Wangchuan Tao. After all, he was an ordinary person and was not a god. Bai Shu had suffered countless injuries over the past few days. He was overworked and overthinking. When he was about to enter Linchuan City, Bai Shu was already at the end of his strength.
This time the injury completely destroyed Bai Shu's body. If Xu Muling had not stuffed several healing pills into Bai Shu's mouth, Bai Shu would have died at this moment.
But despite this, Bai Shu had only one last breath left. This breath couldn't even be as breath as a slept. At least Xu Muling sat next to Bai Shu and could not feel any breath from Bai Shu at all.
He lay there quietly, like a dead man.
"You are told to cause trouble everywhere, now!" Xu Muling complained softly, with a crying voice inside.
Xu Muling was so angry that she was half-murried by Bai Shu since the Dragon Boat Festival. The first time in her life, she went to apologize in a low voice, because of Bai Shu.
There was a heavy rain every day. Bai Shu pushed the door and saw Xu Muling, and frowned deeply.
It is rare to see a person like Bai Shu in the world who is incompatible with the overall environment, as if he will always live in his own world, but he is so kind and warm to Zhijia and Luo Shilan.
Especially during this period when Xu Muling saw how Bai Shu treated Xiao Yurou, this made Xu Muling feel in a trance that the vicious words Bai Shu said to him were not true.
Xu Muling has experienced many difficult things, but she has never been as angry as when she was expelled from Tianyiju that day.
It’s a pity that in Xu Muling’s eyes, Bai Shu is a stingy person. Bai Shu will be petty about those jealous things and will never forget them in his life.
"What are you crying?" A sound suddenly sounded in the darkness, followed by a violent coughing, accompanied by the strong nasal sound when choking on water.
Xu Muling was startled first, and then soon realized that it was Bai Shu who woke up.
She reached out and touched her, touching her hands on Bai Shu's mouth and nose, but she felt blood all over her hands.
Only then did Xu Muling realize that Bai Shu was choking on blood.
Xu Muling was about to help Bai Shu wipe blood, but Bai Shu stopped him and said, "Senior Sister Xu, don't dirty your hands."
Xu Muling was a little silent. He wanted to speak but didn't know what to say. He could only see Bai Shu coughing, as if he was about to cough out his lungs.
"Come here, I'll show you." Xu Muling couldn't bear it after hearing it for a while.
Bai Shu pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's just that the anger is not going well, it will be fine in a while."
Xu Muling continued to remain silent. It has been difficult for Xu Muling to talk to Bai Shu for a long time, because when it comes to Bai Shu, he can always say the sentence he said to Xu Muling as the last sentence.
This is a subconscious habit of Bai Shu.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, he had to continue speaking: "Senior Sister Xu is not an ordinary weak woman. She must not be afraid of the darkness. Then you just cried because you thought I was dead, right?"
Xu Muling snorted and said, "Nonsense, I'm too happy if you die!"
"Hahahaha." Bai Shu suddenly laughed happily. After laughing, he coughed violently again. Bai Shu didn't care at all. He wiped the blood from his mouth and said with a loss of regret: "This girl Zhiyuan sticks to me, I promised her to take care of her and grow up."
Bai Shu lowered her head in the darkness and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid there is no chance."
Xu Mulin's voice was a little choked, and she suppressed her emotions and comforted her: "Don't talk nonsense, I will definitely take you back to Taixu."
Bai Shu shook his head slightly and said, "I am sorry to have been cared for by Senior Sister Xu during this period."
This was the first time Xu Muling heard Bai Shu say apologize, but Xu Muling was not very happy.
"Did you just apologize for implicating us?" Xu Muling looked at Bai Shu and could only vaguely see a vague shadow.
Bai Shu thought about it and said, "It's my fault that I'm leaving without saying goodbye. I thought no one cared about me, but I didn't expect you to worry about me."
Xu Muling was very disappointed and said, "Bai Shu, you are so smart, don't you know what I mean?"
Bai Shu could guess something, but he still pretended to be crazy and stupid, "Senior Sister Xu was joking. If I were smart, I wouldn't cause trouble."
Xu Muling glared at Bai Shu and said angrily: "After the Dragon Boat Festival, I will go to Tianyi Peak to find you sincerely and apologize to you, but you have no demeanor and humiliated me severely and drove me out!"
Xu Muling was unwilling to say, "Including behind you, every time you look at me, you look contempt in your eyes, but I, Xu Muling, think that besides being mean to you at the beginning, I, were all sincerely treating you. Don't you think it's a bit too much for you to treat me like this?"
Bai Shu thought for a while, sighed, but the sigh was almost covered by the sound of the stream: "You treat people well, but I always feel that you are acting on occasion and are very false."
Xu Muling gritted his teeth and said, "Then tell me, how did I act in a false way?"
Bai Shu had been holding some words in his heart for a long time, so he simply took this opportunity to say them out. He pondered for a moment and said, "I'll just say three points."
"First, you bully Biping on the Dragon Boat Festival. Then you found out that I had potential and apologized to me. It was very false!"
"Second, Wu Shaobai is here late and is also causing trouble for you, but you are very kind to him. You must have guessed Shao Baitian Jizi's identity at that time and deliberately pleased him."
"Third, this time when my senior sister is not here, you must be jealous of my senior sister, so you try your best in all aspects just to prevent others from thinking that you are worse than my senior sister. Otherwise, I, Bai Shu, wouldn't believe that you would take care of them so hard!"
Bai Shu said these three points, but his voice was not loud, but his tone was low and his voice was steady. It was not like complaining, but rather like a statement of facts.
It seemed as if the things that Xu Muling did have determined the nature of them and no one could argue with others.
Xu Muling said nothing, stood up and looked at Bai Shu, and suddenly started to sob softly.
Xu Muling never felt that she was so wronged. But for a moment, the tears in her eyes blurred her vision. She forced herself to not let herself cry, but she still couldn't help but make a slight sound.
At this moment, Bai Shu was silently watching her, but she felt extremely embarrassed. Xu Muling had always known that Bai Shu didn't like her, but she really didn't expect that in Bai Shu's eyes, she would be so unbearable.
"In... in your heart, is that... that's it?" Xu Muling asked Bai Shu with her head tilted and cried. At this moment, she didn't look like the mature and steady pride of heaven, and was as fragile as a child.
Bai Shu moved his lips, and his mouth was still full of blood and he didn't say anything.
Xu Muling knew that Bai Shu had agreed to what he said, and she cried even harder.
Bai Shu listened silently for a while, and thought of what Xu Muling did along the way, and finally couldn't bear it. He comforted softly: "Sister Xu, stop crying. I guess I won't live long and I won't be upset about you anymore."
Bai Shu's words really worked. Xu Muling immediately controlled her emotions. She was so confused that she was so confused by Bai Shu's words that she had just said, and she even forgot about the environment she was in.
Over the past few days, not to mention Bai Shu, Xu Muling is even more tired than Bai Shu. At this time, Xu Muling could not listen to any slander. With her arrogant heart, she could not tolerate Bai Shu's words.
"I'm not the kind of person you imagined!" Xu Muling decided to defend himself.
She felt that Bai Shu could not deny herself completely because of a mistake she made, or even have extremely wrong prejudice against herself.
Bai Shu coughed and replied, "Maybe my heart is too dark. I like to take preconceived ideas, so although I really think you are very good to me during the next few days, it is difficult for me to read your goodness. I will always subconsciously think of you when you are bad."
Bai Shu sighed and said, "Maybe you are right, I am a stingy... But if I say wrong, I am willing to apologize to you."
