The fresh blood blinded her eyes. Nona stood rigidly on the spot, the warm blood pricking her eyes.
Her mouth opened and closed as if she wanted to say something, but something seemed to be clogging up her throat. She opened and closed her mouth, but not a single sound came out. Tears rolled down his cheeks... His heart felt like it had been ruthlessly stabbed by something …
Doggie!
She wanted to reach out and call out his name, but … But no sound came out of his throat.
"Nona …" I... I was wrong... It's my fault... Not listening to you... Only now … Only now … My Eyes... "Then, just give it to your brother …"
After a very, very long time, these words still lingered in Jiu Niang's ears. On countless dark nights, when she woke up at midnight, the same words would always appear in her mind time and time again. She was worth it. Even if someone were to die, they would live on in their heart forever. And he was that person …
"Nona, Nona …"
"Nona …" "Ninth Madame …"
It was as if someone was constantly calling out his name. It was a very familiar voice. He seemed to have heard it somewhere before, but just when had the mailbox heard it? She tried so hard to see who was calling her, but … However, it even seemed as if it was uncontrollable …
"Nona, Nona is fine, she's fine …" I'm sorry I'm late. Are you scared? "
Covered in blood and panic, Situ Jin looked at Nona apologetically as he held her shoulders with both hands.
For the first time, this was the first time that he was so flustered. He didn't dare imagine what would happen if he arrived a little later. He really didn't dare to imagine … Just now, if he had not rushed in in time, perhaps he would have never been able to see her again.
Thinking of this, Situ Jin felt a stinging pain in his heart.
It was a feeling that he had never experienced before.
"Nona, speak, what happened to you?"
But even after shouting for a long time, she still couldn't get a response from Ninth Niang. Situ Xi was a bit anxious. She thought to herself, 'Is this little girl scared?' He himself didn't know what was wrong with him. In his memory, there had never been someone who could make him worry about her so much. She was definitely the first.
In this period of time, even though he wasn't with her, his heart was always concerned about her, afraid that she would accidentally use a flashlight or something, and worried about her day and night, whether she was alright or not. He couldn't help but wonder just what had happened to him. He hadn't been so excited when he found Situ Xi.
When he heard from Situ Xi that something might have happened to Ninth Niang, he didn't even have time to drink his saliva and rushed out to find her, disregarding everything else.
He clearly knew that his first priority was to protect Situ Xi, but … But he didn't plant the land for any reason …
"Nona, Nona, say something, do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?" "Still hurt, tell me."
He forced Jiu Niang to meet his gaze. Their four eyes met, and their originally clear eyes were now devoid of any luster. They were only staring blankly. That kind of gaze … It was as if she couldn't see anything from her eyes. Situ Xi couldn't help but feel a little anxious. "Jiu Niang, quickly wake up. Listen to me. Everything is fine. Everything is fine." Those people have all been taken care of by us, so they won't hurt you anymore … "
But no matter what he said, Nona did not react at all.
After a long time …
"Nona, you can't let him down … Otherwise... He will... "He will die with grievance …"
In the darkness, Gu Jinyu struggled to her feet and walked towards Nona.
He hadn't been able to see her for days, but he heard her clearly.
If they didn't blame him, it would be impossible. That woman had just said that they wouldn't be able to find him here if they didn't think he was a beggar.
However …
But in the end... In the end, however …
Yes, he couldn't see, so he could say that he was powerless when something like that happened. Because he couldn't see, he had no way … He had already done what he could, but … But he knew clearly in his heart that he was the one who hesitated at the most crucial moment. Just as he was hesitating, he was the one who rushed over and used his body to block a blow for Jiu Niang.
Although he didn't want to admit it, but …
But the truth was like this. At such a critical moment, he could not even compare to a stranger.
She clearly knew that Jiu Niang did it for her. If it wasn't for her, she wouldn't have to get involved in this mess. However … However, in the face of death, he still hesitated. It was precisely because of his hesitation that caused the current result …
"Right, right..." "I can't let him down, I can't let him down …"
Suddenly, Nona, who had been standing stiffly on the spot, came to her senses. Her lips were constantly mumbling, and her stiff eyes became lively. "Get out, you guys get out in pain!"
Nona quickly recovered her composure and urged Situ Xi and the others to leave …
At that moment, she only had one thought, and that was that she couldn't disappoint the lord dog. He was still thinking about giving his eyes to her brother even at the last moment. She couldn't not help him fulfill his last wish. This was his last wish … Right now, the lord dog had just died. There wasn't much time left, he couldn't afford to miss the best time …
"Nona …"
Situ Jin looked worriedly at Jiu Niang, wanting to say something.
However, when he met her resolute eyes, he could only quietly swallow the words that were about to leave his mouth.
"Get out, all of you!"
With a wave of his hand, everyone quietly left the room, leaving behind only the two heads of Ninth Mother and Gu Jinyu, as well as … And Lord Dog...
"Nona …" "Sorry …"
Only he and Nona were left in the room, Gu Jinyu finally had the courage.
He knew that at that moment, his heart had been shaken, and that he … He had even … She even felt some resentment towards Jiu Niang … If it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have been left behind if he said that he wasn't hungry and was still in the Gu family. Perhaps … He even thought about it. If it wasn't for Jiu Niang, perhaps that woman would have already died. Furthermore, everything would have gone unnoticed. If this happened … So what if he couldn't see it? He was the only boy of the Gu family.
However …
"Big brother, you don't have to worry. This is just a minor operation. There won't be a problem." As if she hadn't heard Gu Jinyu's words, Nona was only mechanically comforted, her hands quickly busy with her own things, as if she was not prepared to stop at all.
"Nona …"
Everything around them was dark, but … However, why did he suddenly feel cold? He had never felt such a feeling before.
Gu Jinyu called for Jiu Niang in a low voice, with an indescribable helplessness in her tone, but … However, in the end, he could only silently shut his mouth …
He knew that if something happened, he wouldn't be able to go back, so he thought about it.
Perhaps …
"Sigh!" Sighing lightly, Gu Jinyu obediently shut her mouth and silently lay down. He knew he was wrong, but … However, not all mistakes in this world can be corrected, and one can turn back …
"How is it? How is it? Are you alright? "
Four hours later, Situ Jin stood silently at the door, not even half a step away.
Several times he wanted to rush in, but he forced himself to put up with it.
It wasn't easy for him to see Ninth Mother coming out of her room, so he immediately went up to her.
She sized up Jiu Niang from top to bottom. When she was sure that there was nothing wrong with her other than her pale face and tired look, she put down some snacks.
"There's something I need your help with." Gently pushing Situ Jin away, Jiu Niang forced herself to look at Situ Jin with an expressionless face, a trace of helplessness flashed across her eyes.
If you can... If she could, she definitely wouldn't want to beg Situ Jin …
However … But right now, he really didn't have the ability to do so.
"Say it. Say it. No matter what it is, as long as you say it, I will definitely do it for you."
Facing Jiu Niang's politeness, Situ Jin did not care at all.
To him, as long as Ninth Mother was willing to speak to him, nothing else mattered. In the end, it was enough for him if she was willing to speak. What he was most worried about was that Nona would remain silent like a lifeless puppet.
He had never felt such fear before. It was as if … It was as though nothing was left in that instant.
"Help me find Gu Yu's house and then … Then, I'll hand him over to Gu Yu. "
Taking a deep breath, Nona slowly voiced her request.
She thought for a long time and finally decided to give Gu Jinyu to Gu Jinyu. No matter what, Gu Jinyu was Gu Jinyu's mother, and she believed that she would take good care of her, whether it was for Gu Jinyu or herself. Thus, as long as Gu Jinyu was by his side, he wouldn't have to worry about her …
"What?" You... You mean... Could it be that you … Aren't you going with them? "
Situ Jin was stunned. He never thought that Nona would say such a thing.
From his point of view, Gu Jinyu was very important to Nona. He didn't even think that she would separate from him. But now it seemed like she was wrong. Nona couldn't wait to be separated from them … In the end … What had happened that he didn't know about?
"That's for the best."
When Situ Jin rushed in with his men, everything had already happened. He didn't see Gu Jinyu push him out at the most crucial moment. What he saw was that the lord dog had used his body to block the fatal strike, but … However, he didn't know what had happened earlier …
She kept telling herself that her brother did not do it on purpose, that she could not see with her eyes. In that situation, it was worth forgiving if he did something inappropriate in his panic. However … However … Her heart couldn't bear it. This matter was like an ugly scar, deeply imprinted in her heart.
If she abandoned him, she wouldn't be able to do it.
But... But if he stayed by her side to take care of her … If that was the case, then he would be letting the dog down …
"Alright, I'll leave this matter to you."
Taking in a deep breath, Nona was unwilling to continue this topic. She was not someone who was good at words, and especially not someone who was good at explanations. Especially when something like this happened, how would she explain it to herself and how would she explain it? Anyway... Anyway, now his eyes... He had done what he could …
"Then his eyes …"
Speaking of which, this was what Situ Jin was most concerned about.
He wouldn't enter the winemaking if he wasn't allowed to, but he was still very concerned about it.
"I can see it after half a month after the first incident. I've finished writing down what I should take note of. Find Madam Gu and hand it to her."
