After being abandoned, Tofu Xishi broke off the relationship

But after making the plan, he found out that Su Fangfang had an affair with Zhou the Butcher and was no longer innocent.

But it doesn’t matter. He asked Su Fangfang to bite her finger and pretend to go up.

By the time Mr. Zeng woke up in the morning, the matter had already been settled. His wife had wanted to sell Su Fangfang.

But Master Zeng glanced at Su Fangfang, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and let her stay.

Su Xiaoqiang glanced at Huo Yan not far away, only to see that he was talking to a man in constable's clothes and was not paying attention to this side, so he straightened his back.

"Humph, you never thought that you and that captain of the police stood by and watched someone die, but I turned out to be blessed in disguise."

"As for you, you have been suffering from bad luck since you severed your relationship with the Su family. Your lame brother..."

"what……"

Before Su Xiaoqiang could finish his words, a horsewhip with a gust of wind had already hit his face.

He reached out to touch it, but his face was covered in blood.

"Brother...are you okay?" Su Fangfang looked at the bloodstain on Su Xiaoqiang's face and shrank her neck.

She remembered this man. He appeared in Su Ruanruan's room more than a month ago.

Su Xiaoqiang pushed Su Fangfang away and said harshly, "You dare to hit me?"

Mr. Zeng gave money to Lord Bai, but he didn't expect that guy would not be persuaded and instead exiled the only son of the Zeng family, thus becoming a grudge against Mr. Zeng.

Mr. Zeng is a local squire and knows many officials. Once he has arranged everything, he will definitely bring down Bai Bai. By then, he will still be a worthless police chief.

Huo Yan simply gave him a cold look, his eyes were as cold as the weather in deep winter, making people shiver.

With Su Ruanruan still looking a little confused, he carried her on his shoulders and put her on the horse's back.

He then swiftly mounted his horse and rode away.

Ziwu looked at the horse's figure getting farther and farther away with some worry.

Alas, my master really has a hard life.

The wind was blowing fiercely, and Su Ruanruan recognized that it was the direction of Daohua Village. She felt heavy in her heart and had a bad premonition.

She spoke with difficulty, "What happened?"

Huo Yan looked ahead from behind him, "Your brother... is gone."

"Xiaoxi..."

"How could that be? Did you lie to me like Su Xiaoqiang did? He was fine when I left Daohua Village last time."

Huo Yan said, "It's true."

Su Ruanruan couldn't believe it. She looked up at Huo Yan's expression behind her, trying to find any signs that he was lying.

But Huo Yan was tall and had his head slightly lowered, and when their eyes met, his hot breath sprayed on her face.

"Your brother strayed into the mountains and was eaten by wild beasts. When we found him... it was too late."

"Xiaoxi..." Sadness followed, the wind blew through my whole body, and even breathing was painful.

Although she had only known Xiaoxi for a few months, she really treated him as her own brother.

She hadn't even started to lead him to a good life yet, so why did he leave?

Su Ruanruan dug her palms tightly with her nails. She must be dreaming.

But the pain in her palm could not be faked. She slowly closed her eyes, her pupils trembling uncontrollably.

When they arrived at Daohua Village, the villagers on the road stopped and looked at Su Ruanruan on horseback.

There was a complicated look in his eyes.

There was heartache, sighs, and some people secretly wiped away tears.

When Su Ruanruan knocked on her uncle's door, the room was also gloomy.

In the yard where there used to be laughter and conversation, there is no more Xiaoxi's laughter, and no one will throw themselves into her arms and call her "sister" anymore.

Everyone looked at Su Ruanruan, and even Duan Sanzhu got up from the ground crying.

"Cousin, my cousin is gone. Woo..."

Su Ruanruan's eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.

She walked into the house and saw the brand new spirit tablet at a glance.

Su Ruanruan's fingers trembled, and she gently stroked the three words Su Xiaoxi, choking and saying, "I'm sorry, Xiaoxi, sister... I'm late."

"Sister asked you to study hard, why did you go to the mountains?"

Duan Sanzhu wiped his tears and said, "That's because..."

"Sanzhu!" The new sister-in-law Wen shook her head slightly and interrupted Sanzhu.

Sanzhu lowered his head and hid aside and started crying again, "It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of Xiaoxi. Woo... I don't have a brother anymore."

"The dead cannot be resurrected, so please don't be sad anymore, cousin. I heard that you just rushed back from another place, and you must be very tired. Why don't you go back to your room and have a rest first?" Wen said.

Mrs. Liu also came up to support Su Ruanruan, her voice hoarse from crying, "You entrusted Xiaoxi to me to take care of him, but I didn't take good care of him. I am sorry for you."

Su Ruanruan raised her eyes to look at her newly married cousin-in-law, and then looked at Liu whose eyes were red and swollen.

"Aunt, cousin, I want to go see Xiaoxi."

"I can't wait for you. Xiaoxi has already been buried."

"It's too late today. It's not too late to go tomorrow. You should have a good rest first."

Su Ruanruan shook her head. "How can Xiaoxi leave peacefully if she can't see me..."

"I'll take you there." said my uncle Duan Zhuan, who had been silent all this time.

"No, I can just go by myself."

Duan Zhuan glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting dark."

Su Ruanruan pointed at Huo Yan who was leading a horse outside the door, "Don't worry, uncle, he's here to accompany me."

Liu said worriedly, "I heard that Scholar Mu didn't come back after the autumn examination. You go to Lingzhou to find him. You..."

Su Ruanruan's eyelashes trembled, "There is no possibility for him and I anymore."

Liu turned her head away and did not ask any more questions. She just wiped her tears and said, "Forget it... you two are not destined to be together. Your grandmother and her family did not allow Xiaoxi to be buried next to your parents. We can only bury him with your grandparents, so that we can... take care of each other."

"okay, I get it."

……

Su Runrun sat on Su Xiaoxi's grave, quietly looking at Duan Sanzhu who was abducted from home by Huo Yan.

"cousin……"

Su Ruanruan touched his head and said, "Don't be afraid, cousin won't hurt you, I just want to ask you something."

Sanzhu looked at the crooked characters on the grave and choked up, "Cousin, I didn't protect my brother Xiaoxi well. Hit me now!"

Su Ruanruan just mechanically touched his head again, "Why did you go up the mountain after school? Are you going to play?"

Sanzhu was silent for a while before shaking his head.

"Then why do you want to go to the mountains to play?"

Sanzhu stopped talking again and lowered his head.

Su Ruanruan said again, "Sanzhu, do you want little brother Xiaoxi to be reborn into a good family in his next life?"

"Yes, of course." Sanzhu suddenly looked up, his eyes red.

"Then is my cousin Xiaoxi's closest person?"

"My cousin is Xiaoxi's elder sister, so it naturally counts. Cousin, go ahead and hit me and scold me!"

Su Ruanruan shook her head, "Why should I hit you or scold you? If you feel bad, you should tell your cousin why Xiaoxi went to the mountains."

She coaxed him again, "You know Xiaoxi can't cross the Naihe Bridge in the underworld, let alone find a good family."

"Why?" Duan Sanzhu's face turned pale and he asked excitedly, "Cousin."

"Because his elder sister doesn't know why he went up the mountain and why he was eaten by wild beasts, she will be obsessed with him. If he keeps hearing his elder sister calling him, he will refuse to move forward."

Duan Sanzhu was surprised and quickly looked at Huo Yan who was standing beside him, but Huo Yan was looking at Su Ruanruan.

"Captain Huo, is what my cousin said true?"
