I closed my eyes, trembling with fear. Once Zheng Keer cuts this blade, all that follows will be bad luck.
"Wait a moment." At that critical moment, Lou Shaotang's calm voice suddenly came out.
When I opened my eyes, his pained expression was gone, and he looked calm.
"Afraid that Lou Shaotang would trick him, Zheng Keer pointed his head towards the stage beside Lou Shaotang. You go stand there, and I'll play. "
Without hesitation, Lou Shaotang walked over, supported himself with his hands and climbed up the stage.
The stage that Lou Shaotang was standing on was only the width of two palms, if I were to slip, or if my center of gravity was unstable, I would fall down. Besides, I didn't want him to risk his life for me.
"I don't want you to trade with me, hurry up and get down!" I yelled at him, my whole heart in my throat, my eyes watering as if I'd turned on the brakes.
Lou Shaotang calmly smiled and comforted me, "Don't cry, my wife." He reached out his right hand to wipe away my tears. "Remember when I promised you I wouldn't let you cry, and I won't let you cry. But I haven't been able to do it for so long. I've always made you cry and make you sad. "I'm sorry."
His voice was choked with sobs, and his eyes became moist. "So, this time, let me fulfill my promise."
"No," I cried, shaking my head and begging him, "no. Husband, I don't want you to die, I can't lose you! Without you, what would I have done? "
I can't imagine what I would do if Lou Shaotang died. Maybe I don't have the courage to live anymore.
"Wife, promise me one thing." Lou Shaotang smiled leisurely as a tear fell from the corner of his eye, "If I fall and don't die, you are not allowed to turn your back on me and have to raise me for the rest of my life. If I die, you have to choose a beautiful place for me to sleep in. Also, you are not allowed to remarry. You are only my, Lou Shaotang's, wife in this life. You will be buried together with me after a hundred years. "
He told me the opposite of what I had just said, and my heart broke. "No, I won't do it!" I wailed miserably, "Lou Shaotang, listen carefully. If you are crippled, I will abandon you; Therefore, Lou Shaotang, you must not jump! "Come down quickly!"
Lou Shaotang laughed, how could he not know that what I said was all lies.
The golden sunlight shone on his handsome smiling face, illuminating his sculptured facial features until they were as smooth as jade. The tears in his eyes also shined brightly.
How can I bear to have such a warm man who loves me so much leave me?!
No, I don't accept it!
"Bang, bang ~ ~ ~"
Just as I was about to continue to dissuade him, something suddenly fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Lou Shaotang and I were startled for a moment, and then looked towards the origin of the voice at the same time.
The scissors in Zheng Keer's hand had already dropped to the ground, the sinister smile on her face disappeared once again. Her face was filled with confusion, "Shao Tang, why are you standing so high up?"
She slightly raised her head and looked at Lou Shaotang who was standing straight on the stage in a daze. In a few seconds, she immediately tensed up: "Quickly get down, don't stand on top. It's too dangerous!"
With that, she walked quickly towards Lou Shaotang.
I was astounded and felt that she was very abnormal. At one moment, she looked as innocent as a young girl. At the other, she looked as ferocious as a ghost. At the moment, she also seemed to have lost her memory.
A trace of confusion flashed across Lou Shaotang's face. We looked at each other, and Lou Shaotang narrowed his eyes, scanning his face with his gaze. I took a closer look at the expression on her face. Her anxiety was not an act.
What was going on?
I was confused. Suddenly, a thought popped up in his mind.
'She can't be … '
I wasn't sure I was right, but there was no way out now, and I could only risk it.
Zheng Keer stopped walking and turned to look at me, "Who are you?"
Seeing that she was completely unfamiliar with me, I further confirmed my thoughts and said to her, "I'm Lisa, don't you remember? We took a drawing class together. "
Zheng Keer frowned, as though she was trying hard to remember.
I swallowed nervously.
"Oh, it's you." After a while, she smiled. Her smile was especially innocent and gentle, without any disguise. The next second, she looked puzzled, "Why are you hanging here?"
I heaved a sigh of relief. "We're rehearsing a play where the female lead and her son are kidnapped and tied up on the roof. The male lead is here to save her."
I looked at Lou Shaotang as I lied. From his clear expression, I could tell that he had the same idea as me. Thus, he secretly gave him a look. He immediately understood and said to Zheng Keer: "That's right, Ke Er. We are rehearsing.
Zheng Keer realised, her expression relaxed, "Oh right, how did I forget!" She patted her chest and said, "You scared me to death. I thought something had happened to you." He immediately asked, "Then are you done playing? After the performance is over, quickly come down. It's too dangerous up there. "
Her tone was filled with worry for Lou Shaotang. Lou Shaotang and I looked at each other again without batting an eyelid, giving each other a look that only we could understand.
Zheng Keer replied obediently, walked to my side and began to turn the handle that controlled the iron rack's rotation.
I was nervous, but I had a relaxed, natural smile on my face.
Slowly, I was turned back to the roof. I saw that the ground was only half a meter from my feet, and my hanging heart was halfway to the ground.
I looked ahead, Heng Heng had already been saved by Lou Shaotang, and was crying as he threw himself at Lou Shaotang. I raised my gratified smile, and felt my feet on the ground. In a blink of an eye, I looked back at Zheng Keer, whose hand had just left the handle that was used to adjust the rise and fall of the iron frame.
I couldn't help but exhale. Only then did I realize that my shirt was already soaked through with sweat and stuck to my body. But I didn't care. Because I was still tied up, I wasn't completely relieved.
Seeing Zheng Keer on her tiptoes, struggling to untie the rope, I signalled to the scissors on the ground, "Don't untie it, take the scissors and cut it."
Zheng Keer stopped and nodded, then went to pick up the scissors.
Lou Shaotang ran over to us, his expression was not relaxed either. When he got to my side, Zheng Keer had already picked up the scissors.
Lou Shaotang reached out his hand to her, "Let me do it."
Just as Zheng Keer was about to give him the scissors, her face suddenly changed, and she asked in shock: "You, how did you all come up?"
Her eyes bulged, and she snarled at us, both hands gripping the shears and pointing the sharp end of the knife at us in a state of attack.
Crap!
My entire body shivered, my heart tensed up again. Looking at Lou Shaotang, he did not panic at all, he was actually calm.
"Zheng Keer, put down the scissors!" He glared at her viciously and snapped.
Zheng Keer turned a deaf ear, her face instantly becoming sinister: "Tu Ying, I'm going to kill you!"
She raised her scissors and rushed at me.
My breath caught in my throat, my eyes widened, and I felt my heart stop.
Lou Shaotang's big and sturdy body blocked in front of me, and when I saw that the scissors was about to stab into his chest, I didn't even have time to cry out in alarm, when I heard Heng Heng's heart-wrenching scream from the front.
"Mother!"
His voice cut across the sky and echoed in his ears for a long time.
As if someone suddenly pressed on his acupoint, Zheng Keer's body suddenly froze. Lou Shaotang took the chance and grabbed the scissors in her hand, raised his leg and kicked her down to the ground.
When I was finally saved, I cried tears of excitement and hugged Lou Shaotang tightly, "Hubby!"
Lou Shaotang also hugged me back tightly, comforting me while stroking my back, "Alright, everything's fine now."
I could hear from his trembling voice that he was also very excited and scared.
Yes, we were almost separated by life and death.
"Mommy ~"
Hearing Heng Heng's nervous voice, I let go of Lou Shaotang's embrace and looked at him.
Heng Heng squatted beside her and wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. He wiped the tears off his face and tried to pull her up.
"Don't touch me!" Zheng Keer very disdainfully pushed him away heavily.
Heng Heng fell backwards and sat on the ground.
After saying that, she lowered her hand, tightly holding onto the clothes on her chest. She was extremely excited, and her entire body was trembling, "For you, I lost a leg, I lost an entire beautiful life. Lou Shaotang, the person who loves you the most in this world is me, it's me! "
Her voice was filled with the dampness of grief, and her thoughts were exceptionally clear.
I was confused. Was she really crazy?
That's right, from her series of fluctuating emotions just now, I determined that Zheng Keer was probably schizophrenic.
