Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 636: Abandoned Child (40)

The man used all his strength to hug the delicate woman in his arms tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear in the next second. He only heard the woman say in a voice as small as a mosquito: "It's right here."

At this moment, they were under a honeysuckle tree. Clusters of fireflies flickering with faint light danced in the air, like stars falling into the mortal world, illuminating a small piece of the surrounding world.

The man carefully held the woman in his arms and slowly sat down, but before he could sit firmly, the person in his arms suddenly began to twitch violently.

She closed her eyes tightly, frowned, her face full of pain, and tears fell uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes. Drop after drop of crystal clear tears fell on the back of the man's broad hand like pearls that had broken off the string.

"Xier, don't be afraid! I...even if the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, even if it costs a lot, I will definitely find a way to detoxify you!" The man held the woman's trembling hands tightly, his voice choked slightly, his eyes instantly reddened, he tried hard not to let the tears fall, and quickly turned his head to the side.

Gu Yuxi shook his head slightly, and said in an extremely weak but firm tone: "No need, this is an untreatable poison. I am in this condition now, I am afraid that even Hua Tuo would be powerless to save me."

As she spoke, she raised one hand with difficulty, gently stroked the man's face, and then slowly took off the veil covering the man's face.

With the faint light from the fireflies, Gu Yuxi finally saw the true appearance of the man in front of her. She stared into the man's eyes and asked softly, "Now, can you tell me, are you Ying Cheng or Wu Chengyin?"

The man was stunned for a moment. He knew that Gu Yuxi had always treated him as a master and servant and that he still hated him, but he didn't want to lie and nodded.

"Xi'er, I'm really sorry. Please forgive me. I didn't mean to deceive you."

Wu Chengyin's face was filled with guilt and regret. He stared at Gu Yuxi, whose face was as pale as paper, in front of him, his voice full of pleading.

However, at this moment, Gu Yuxi had no mind to listen to his explanation. She only felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, which was as unbearable as if thousands of arrows pierced her heart.

She subconsciously stretched out her hands and covered her stomach tightly, her brows furrowed, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.

Seeing this scene, Wu Chengyin suddenly panicked and hurriedly used the deep internal strength in his body to help Gu Yuxi calm down his disordered breath.

He placed his palms on Gu Yuxi's back and continuously injected his internal energy into her body, trying to relieve her pain.

But disappointingly, even so, Gu Yuxi's condition did not improve at all, but became worse.

"Promise me..." Gu Yuxi endured the severe pain and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth with difficulty.

But before she could finish the rest of her words, the pain intensified again, and she could no longer hold on, and she collapsed to the ground.

"Okay, okay, let alone one thing, even if it's ten or a hundred things, as long as you ask me, I will agree to everything. Xi'er, tell me what it is."

Wu Chengyin said anxiously, and at the same time quickly squatted down and hugged Gu Yuxi in his arms, his eyes full of concern and heartache.

Gu Yuxi breathed heavily and after a long while, he finally regained some strength.

She raised a trembling hand and slowly reached into her arms to feel for something...

After a moment, she carefully took out a yellowed book and handed it to Wu Chengyin with great solemnity.

"Wu Chengyin, I don't want to... I don't want to see that villain Ketu unify the world. This person has ulterior motives and evil intentions. He is not worthy of ruling the country, let alone taking on the responsibility of governing the world."

As Gu Yuxi spoke, he stared into the distance with a look full of resentment, as if Ketu was right in front of him at this moment.

Wu Chengyin nodded heavily upon hearing this, and replied with gritted teeth: "Xi'er, don't worry, when I find an opportunity, I will personally chop off Ke Tu's head to avenge you."

Unexpectedly, Gu Yuxi shook his head and said weakly: "No... don't kill him..."

Wu Chengyin was stunned at first, and then he secretly laughed at himself in his heart. He thought that this woman still had pity for Ke Tu!

However, when he heard what Gu Yuxi said next, he couldn't help but change his mind, and even began to think that she knew Ketu too well.

"All we need to do is to destroy his martial arts and the foundation he worked so hard to build, so that he will never be able to stand up again. In this way, I can avenge my blood feud without causing the people of the world to suffer more."

After Gu Yuxi used up his last bit of strength to say these words, he closed his eyes and was about to faint.

"Xier, I promise you." Wu Chengyin said as he shook the woman's body, and she opened her eyelids with difficulty.

"Wu Chengyin, I am not a good person, and it is difficult for me to be reincarnated. This place has a nice view. If possible, please... please bury me on the top of the cliff. I like the sound of the wind here."

The woman's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally Wu Chengyin finished reading the last sentence through lip reading. He only saw a tear flow across the woman's eyes, and then she slowly closed her eyes.

The low sobs echoed, like the honeysuckle covered with morning dew, unable to raise its head, yet unwilling to let go of the dew.

Wu Chengyin hugged Gu Yuxi tightly in his arms, as the temperature in her body gradually died down. Fireflies flew around him. He buried his head in the woman's neck and began to caress her skin with his lips.

Love flies around with the fireflies, and it is no longer possible to restrain it. A firework blooms not far away, breaking this silent confession.

The morning sun had just fallen, soft and warm, but it had a fierce dispute with the remaining night breeze. They entangled and pushed each other in the air, as if fighting for control of this world.

On this cliff, a brand new coffin stood alone, eroded by last night's wind and mottled, as if carrying endless vicissitudes and stories.

At this moment, a jackdaw perched on a nearby branch and suddenly let out a shrill and mournful cry. The sound echoed through the valley, making people feel creepy.

"Xi'er, the army is now facing a great crisis. As a general, I cannot sit idly by. I don't know whether I will live or die, but please believe me, I will come back to visit you after the situation in the world stabilizes."

Wu Chengyin looked at the woman in the coffin with a face full of guilt, his eyes filled with affection and reluctance.

After saying this, the man slowly took out a square, crystal clear jade from his arms, gently placed the jade in the woman's cold palm, and then carefully closed the coffin lid, fearing that he would disturb her sleeping soul.

After doing all this, the man took a deep breath and lightly stepped on the steep rocks on the cliff.

He never dared to look back at the coffin, because he was afraid that if he looked back, he would no longer have the courage to leave this place...
