Morning Star

Chapter 402: Sleeping "Death, what is it?"

He stood up and said, "Since you have abandoned her, you are no longer qualified to use the name she gave you. From now on, you will be the master of Cang Hao, and I will be Chen Xi."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared in the snow, leaving behind the Demon God, or the Lord of Canghao, sitting there with his eyes downcast and a calm expression.

In this lifeless land, there is an endless expanse of white, and "snowflakes" are flying in different sizes, neither fast nor slow.

In a few days, Mo Xinglan's injuries had stabilized.

Although Chujiu's injuries have not healed yet, they have improved a lot.

Venerable Qu Ling told Chujiu what to do next, and watched Chujiu do it before leaving the Demon Realm.

In fact, Chujiu didn't dislike Venerable Qu Ling, and even thought he was quite kind. If it weren't for their different standpoints.

But she always felt that something big was going to happen next.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the person lying quietly on the bed.

Her star was hiding a lot from her.

……

The sky in December was filled with heavy snow, covering all the good and bad things under the white snow.

It snowed particularly heavily on December 20th, and at the hour of Mao it was impossible to see the people walking on the road.

Everyone was wondering why the snow this year was particularly strange. Not only was it heavier than in previous years, but it shouldn't snow this heavily in this month. However, the snow was flying so hard that people could hardly see clearly.

At this time, the Shuanghua Courtyard of the Mo family was quieter than usual. Suddenly, a baby's cry broke the silence of the courtyard.

The Qilin Liuyue who was sealed in Chengtan'ao and was originally sleeping suddenly opened his eyes, and a glimmer of light flashed in his green eyes.

"born."

These three words are long and distant.

Jinxi happily came to Bai Yueer holding the baby and said, "Madam, look, this child is so cute."

Bai Yue'er glanced at the sleeping baby and smiled faintly, but there was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

Somehow I always have a bad feeling.

"Madam...are you unhappy?" Jinxi didn't understand.

Bai Yue'er shook her head: "I always feel like something bad is going to happen."

The master and servant chatted for a while, and then they heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Young Madam, the Young Master..."

After delivering this cruel news, the servant retreated.

"lady!"

……

In just one month, the Mohist school underwent tremendous changes.

Not long after the death of Mo Lingfan, the second young master of the Mo family, news came that the head of the Mo family also died due to excessive grief.

At this time, Mo Hengsong temporarily took over the position of the head of the Mohist family.

It was during this period of time that Mo Hengsong secretly found ways to get Bai Yue'er to leave Shuanghuayuan with the child and move to a deserted and dilapidated side courtyard.

Jinxi was so angry that he wanted to find Mo Hengsong to argue, but was stopped by Bai Yueer.

The side courtyard was deserted and sparsely populated, which was exactly what she wanted.

The master and servant moved to the side yard with the child.

The side courtyard used to be called Xuanyu Courtyard, which was also a large courtyard like Shuanghua Courtyard. It was said that something bad happened here, and since then no one has lived here, and no one has come here, so it has become desolate.

As for the other members of the Mohist school, both disciples and servants felt that this courtyard was not clean and gradually moved away from the vicinity of Xuanyu Courtyard.

In order to avoid seeing Xuanyu Courtyard, some people planted trees on both sides of the road leading to Xuanyu Courtyard. After a long time, Xuanyu Courtyard seemed to be isolated and unknown to people, and no one interacted with it.

After so long, there is finally some human atmosphere.

Although Xuanyu Courtyard is very large, many parts of it are in ruins because no one cares about it.

The empty yard was filled with dead leaves that had blown in from outside with the wind.

Fortunately, both the master and the servant are not ordinary people, so it is easy to tidy up the yard again.

Bai Yue'er was holding the child and dragging a plum tree as they stood at the gate of the yard.

"My lord, where is the best place to transplant this tree?" Jinxi looked around.

Bai Yue'er thought about it and pointed to an open space on the right.

"That's fine by me."

Jinxi nodded, dragged the tree and planted it with great effort.

He looked at the plum tree standing in the field with concern, and then looked at the snowy sky: "This snow is really strange, it's already spring and it's still falling. Will it snow all year long? I don't know if this plum tree can survive."

Bai Yueer came to the plum tree and gently stroked the trunk: "Ling Fan said that the plum tree is very strong. I believe it can survive well."

"Yeah, it's really strong." Jinxi looked at the plum tree with admiration, "How can it not be strong if it blooms in winter?"

Afterwards, the master and servant spent some time tidying up Xuanyu Courtyard, making it habitable.

After taking a break, Jin Xi kept staring at the child in Bai Yue'er's arms.

After feeding the baby, Bai Yueer noticed the light in her eyes and handed the baby to her.

Jinxi happily took it and poked the baby's pretty face with her hand. The baby didn't laugh, but she herself laughed.

"My Lord, Xiao Lan is so pretty, so fair and tender. Her red eyes are also so pretty, like a little white rabbit. She also smells sweet."

Bai Yueer smiled and said, "Don't you see who gave birth to her? How can she not be beautiful?"

"hey-hey."

Jinxi would giggle and tease the child, and the child was happy, and she herself was happy too.

"Xiao Lan is so well behaved, she doesn't cry or make a fuss, and she looks so pretty when she smiles."

"He's already full and satisfied, why is he still crying?" Bai Yue'er was speechless.

In the blink of an eye, two months have passed and Mo Hengsong has officially become the head of the Mo family.

He began to secretly eliminate the Mohist disciples and elders who supported Mo Lingfan and opposed him.

Bai Yue'er has always known about this, so she naturally would not do as he wished and also secretly transferred those people.

Every time she went out, she would leave her child in the care of Jinxi.

She went out that day, bringing her child with her as usual, but her eyes were alert.

Because there are countless people lying in ambush in secret.

Mo Hengsong finally couldn't wait to kill them, but she wouldn't let them do so.

It didn't take long for the secret people to take action. Their goal today was to kill Jinxi and the child.

Time passed quietly, and Bai Yue'er realized something was wrong before she even entered the yard.

I walked in cautiously and saw blood all over the floor and a cold, hard corpse.

After searching for a while, I came to the bedroom and found Jinxi sitting on the edge of the bed, quietly watching over the sleeping child.

"past and present!"

Bai Yue'er let out a soft cry, and her tense heart relaxed.

The flickering candlelight shone on Jinxi's face. Jinxi turned around and raised her finger to her lips: "Xiaolan has fallen asleep. Let's go out and talk."

The two of them went out and sat at the table.

"How are you now?" Bai Yue'er looked her up and down.

Jinxi shook his head and looked a little tired: "My Lord, please listen to Jinxi for the next words."

Bai Yueer had already guessed what was going on when she heard this. Her hands and feet felt cold, and she was trembling slightly: "...Okay."

She's been through so much, she's accepted it.

Jinxi told her what happened during the day.

"I searched their memories and deduced that someone was helping Mo Hengsong behind the scenes. It is very likely that the son-in-law was killed by that person who was helping Mo Hengsong behind the scenes."

"I am very fortunate to have met the Lord and to be able to stay with him. For the rest of the journey, I will not be able to... accompany you. Lord... Lord..."

"past and present……"

Jinxi died, leaving only her and a three-month-old child.

She sent Jinxi's body back to the Demon Palace, handed it to Fang Hao, and returned to Xuanyu Courtyard.

After that, she would always set up a barrier when she left, preventing anyone from coming in and finding the child.

The cold days go by day after day.

Babies used to go from crawling on the ground to learning to walk and then to running around the yard, and from babbling to being able to speak fluently.

……

As far as he could remember, his mother had been the only person in his life, and he had never left Xuanyu Courtyard.

He often came to the gate of the courtyard, and when he stretched out his hand, he saw a barrier.

He looked up and saw a bird flying across the sky. He could sense that the bird was very happy.

"What is Lan'er doing here?"

"Mom, what's outside? Why are there so many trees? Can I go out and take a look?"

"Be good, Lan'er, don't go out. There are a lot of bad people outside."

"Bad guy?"

"Yeah, a very bad person." She hugged him, "The world outside is very dangerous, just stay in the yard."

"..."

Are there really bad guys? But he has never seen anyone come here.

"But I didn't see anyone coming here." He really wanted to go out and take a look.

Perhaps his mother saw what he was thinking, so she picked him up and walked back to the house: "Lan'er, if you are discovered by others after leaving the barrier, you will die. Do you understand?"

His mother was very serious when she said this, but he couldn't understand it or hear it clearly.

"Death, what is it?"

"To die means that you can no longer see the people you want to see, and can no longer do the things you want to do. When you die, you have nothing."

"Oh." He seemed to understand something.

He doesn't want to die.

He wanted to see his mother every day, eat the candy his mother bought, and eat the meals his mother cooked.

But mother always leaves.

That day, his mother was leaving again. He held her legs and refused to let her go: "Mom, can you please not leave? Lan'er doesn't want to be left alone at home."

"Lan'er, be good. Mother has something important to do. You just stay home and I will buy you some candy, okay?" She squatted down and rubbed his hair.

He shook his head vigorously: "Lan'er doesn't want candy, Lan'er doesn't want mother to leave."

"..."

Mother didn't answer him, but looked at the sky and frowned.

Without saying a word, she picked him up and walked into the bedroom, placing him on the bed. She quickly turned around and left, closing the door.

He cried and shouted in the room, trying to open the door but it wouldn't open, and his mother didn't come back either.

As far as he could remember, his mother had often been away, and this time she hadn't come back for two days.

At first he cried and yelled, but gradually he realized that his mother would not come back, so he stopped crying and yelling. He wiped his tears and sat on the bed in a daze.

He waited for a whole day, and when his mother didn't come back at night, he pulled up the quilt and went to sleep.
