Chapter 145 Vigil
Chapter 145 Vigil
It turned out to be like this...
After reading the scroll, Xin Youran gently closed it and returned it to the old monster.
"Did I bring Wang Shike here three days later as agreed?"
"Did Lao Li really kill Wang Shike?"
"Also, Old Li said his wife and daughter must have loved this place. I wonder if I helped him bring their bodies here as well?"
“Where are their tombstones?”
"Can you take me to see it?"
"So I'm so powerful, how did I find this place..."
"And do all those villagers know me?"
"That's a stupid question. I was the one who brought them here, so how could I not recognize them?"
“But I have no impression of anyone…”
Xin Youran couldn't help but say out loud what was on her mind, and the old monster felt overwhelmed after hearing it.
I don't tell her many things because I'm afraid she'll ask a series of questions based on a small thing...
I'm really afraid of what will happen.
The old monster laughed hurriedly, "Let's go, we still have to take care of Old Li's funeral, and we can talk about other things later."
"Oh."
Xin Youran was not stupid and could definitely tell that he was obviously trying to change the subject, so she didn't want to answer.
She followed the old monster all the way, not caring where he was taking her. She was still thinking about how to make him answer her questions.
"Don't speculate. I can only tell you that your guesses are correct. Once you finish dealing with Old Li, you'll naturally know everything."
Xin Youran didn't understand why, but she followed him anyway.
She didn't expect the villagers to be so helpful. In such a short time, they moved Lao Li's body to a courtyard in the village, which was a hall specially used for funeral preparations.
Everyone worked together and made arrangements quickly.
When Xin Youran arrived, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at her in unison.
She was so scared that her hands and feet were no longer hands.
"Uh, thank you all for your hard work..."
Seeing this, the old monster coughed violently twice, which scared Xin Youran who had been beside him.
"Are you all right, old monster?"
The old monster waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the weather has been getting cold lately and I just caught a cold."
When Xin Youran looked up again, she found that everyone was busy with their own things.
She even wondered if her eyes were blurry.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night. Xin Youran looked at Old Li's body lying quietly in the coffin. Under the guidance of the old monster, she went forward to burn incense, kowtow, and burn paper money...
Then he just stayed in the mourning hall silently until dawn.
The old monster originally wanted her to burn incense and then go back to the field to rest.
But she insisted on staying.
She had previously accompanied her grandfather to attend the funeral of an elderly person who had passed away in the village, and had a general idea of the entire process.
Tonight, children are needed to keep vigil for the deceased.
Since Old Li died because of her and he had no children, she should keep vigil for him.
The night was extremely long. She knelt quietly beside Lao Li's coffin without any fear.
It was like a movie playing in her mind, filled with the stories of Old Li that she had seen on the scroll.
While feeling emotional, I suddenly thought of one thing, that is, how did Blood Shadow report to [Falling Rain]?
Didn't she already accept the list and take Lao Li's head back to report?
Lao Li has lived in Crescent Valley for two years. Does this mean that Lao Li has failed in his mission?
If the mission fails, [Luoyu] will definitely have some punishment measures, right?
After this matter is over, she will have to ask the old monster for advice.

After Leng Yue was detoxified and her wounds were bandaged by Doctor Qin, she has been in a coma ever since.
Xia Hou Rui stayed by his side the whole time, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
I just kept staring at her face, afraid of missing anything.
She seemed to be having a nightmare, her brows were furrowed and she seemed to be mumbling.
Xia Hou Rui was very curious about what she was saying, so he turned his ear to the side and almost lay on top of her.
"No, don't leave me..."
"Yue'er must be good."
"Can you please not abandon me..."
These few words back and forth almost made Xia Hou Rui's heart soften.
He immediately grabbed Leng Yue's hand, gently touched her head, and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, how could I bear to abandon you?"
"I knew Yue'er would be very well behaved. She's not as difficult to get along with as she seems."
"From now on, I will hold your hand tightly and will not let you leave me!"
Xia Hourui was talking excitedly when he suddenly heard Leng Yue say two more words, "Daddy..."
Xia Hou Rui: ...
So, all I said was for my father.
Humph, sooner or later, you will say the same to me.
At this time, he stared at Leng Yue's lips carefully and found that her mouth was very dry, even with some dry skin. He hurried to pour her some water and wanted her to drink it.
I found that the water poured into my mouth from the teacup flowed out from the corners of my mouth almost intact.
This made him very anxious. It was the first time for Prince Ning to take care of someone, and he was at a loss.
Seeing Leng Yue's lips, which were wet with water and became crystal clear and moist, he swallowed unconsciously.
Looks very tempting...
Xiahou Rui, it's already this late, why are you still thinking about dirty things?
Xia Hou Rui, since she's so tempting, why not try her out? She's unconscious anyway, so she won't know...
When faced with a dilemma, he chose to follow his heart.
He was so nervous that his palms were sweaty, his heart was beating so fast, and his ears were red. He moved closer to Leng Yue little by little until his lips lightly touched her. The icy touch made him tremble all over.
This feeling is so wonderful!
He quickly withdrew.
I was afraid that Leng Yue would suddenly wake up, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Then he found that by doing this, the rare moisture on the other person's mouth disappeared.
He started to struggle with his thoughts again. Since he had already touched her, would it be okay to feed her water with his mouth?
Besides, if you use this method to feed water, it will definitely not flow out again.
You can't just watch her being thirsty like this, right?
Afterwards, Xia Hou Rui began to become uncontrollable. He only felt a sense of stealth when he drank the first sip of water, but after that, he drank the rest of the water more and more naturally...
He hardly slept a wink that night. When the day broke, he could no longer bear it and fell asleep on the edge of the bed, holding Leng Yue's hand.
When Leng Yue woke up, she found someone holding her hand tightly, and she subconsciously tried to shake it off.
But he found that this man was very strong and he couldn't break free without his arm.
The noise was so loud that Xia Hou Rui actually woke up immediately, but he just didn't want to let go, and he also wanted to see Leng Yue's reaction.
He didn't expect the woman to resist so much. Humph, considering her injury, he raised his head in a daze.
"Ok?"
"You're awake!"
"Are there any discomforts?"
"Are you hungry? Are you thirsty?"
When Leng Yue saw that it was Xia Hou Rui, she was about to lose her temper, but she saw that the man looked tired, his hair was not so neat at all, and his clothes were wrinkled.
Did he take care of her here all night?
I opened my mouth, not knowing what to say.
"Let go."
Xia Hou Rui finally realized what was happening and let go of her hand. Then he said unconvincedly, "I have to say this beforehand. You were the one who held my hand tightly and wouldn't let go last night."
"And he kept saying things like, 'I won't leave you, I won't abandon you.'"
"I only allowed you to hold me with reluctance because I saw that you were seriously ill."
"Humph, after all, you're the one taking advantage of me!"
Leng Yue couldn't believe her ears. How could she do such a thing?
Or is she crazy about Xia Hou Rui, the second-generation rich kid?
Seeing how he spoke with such detail and with such disgust on his face, she gradually began to doubt herself. After all, she was asleep and had no recollection of it at all.
Maybe it's just as he said...
"I, I don't remember..."
"You go out first!"
Xiahou Rui thought her blushing face was so cute!
I won't tease her anymore. Even a rabbit will bite when it's cornered.
"Alas, women are the most vicious. They use you and then discard you."
Xiahou Rui left Leng Yue's room full of complaints.
Then he found a maid to help her wash and change her clothes, and then he ordered some light meals from the innkeeper and asked the kitchen to prepare them and send them to her room.
