Spoil yourself with Mr. Li next door

Chapter 56 Sapphire Qilin
Old Qiu was hopeful. He thought, he must have heard it wrong. Xue Mingxue was just sick and came home to see a doctor. At that time, Old Qiu couldn't move anymore.

To be honest, he didn't have the courage to go forward, nor did he have the courage to see her cold coffin.

After stopping for a long time, Elder Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, without any joy on his face, he walked towards Xue's house like a puppet.

There was a drum band at the door playing dirge music, old Qiu glanced at them, feeling like a knife was piercing his heart, he only understood at this moment.

When he stepped into the threshold, the white that caught his eyes made his eyes sore, and the tears couldn't stop falling down.

He sniffed and wiped his eyes with his hand, but he couldn't help it.

When the members of the Xue family saw him coming, they didn't mention any rules or irregularities as usual, and handed him three sticks of incense directly.

Holding an incense stick in his hand, his legs weighed a thousand catties, and he managed to get to the coffin. Looking at the name on the tablet, Old Qiu's hands trembled unconsciously.

Lying inside the purple coffin was the woman he had always missed. Even if she married someone else, that was the one he had dreamed about since midnight.

At this time, Mr. Qiu had thousands of words in his heart, but they were all choked up in the roar, unable to utter a single word.

Standing silently in front of the coffin for a while, Mr. Qiu lit the incense and was about to go back, but before his legs crossed the threshold, his eyes darkened and he fell straight down.

When he woke up again, Mr. Qiu only felt that his eyes were pitch black, his forehead still had some pain on the left side, and his eyeballs didn't seem to dare to move at all, and when he moved, it felt like something was gouging him out.

I raised my hand to touch it, and there was a bandage wrapped around my eyes. Only after listening to my parents did I know that I fell at the door of Qiu’s house, and my left eye socket and temple hit the threshold. The doctor bandaged it up.

"I must be tired from working with you for a while. How old is the child? If he can't eat enough and sleep well, how can he bear it? Today, he is lucky and fateful. The child has nothing to do. If there is anything wrong, I will fight you hard!"

Old Qiu listened to his mother complaining, but he didn't make a sound. Only he and Xue Mingxue knew about this matter, and no one else knew about it.

"Who am I for, and I am also for this family. Who would have thought that a young man with full blood would be able to pass out so well."

The two started arguing endlessly, and the arguing old Qiu's head hurt even more. He said something in a deep voice, the two of them were arguing fiercely, and it was useless. In desperation, old Qiu yelled directly.

The old couple were frightened by the sudden voice, they quickly shut their mouths, and all looked at him.

"I'm fine, stop arguing." Old Qiu eased his tone, said something in a low voice, and then lay down with his back to them without speaking.

Old Qiu's parents were at a loss. Although they didn't understand why their son was so abnormal, they didn't continue to quarrel.

On the day of Xue Mingxue's funeral, Old Qiu's eyes were not completely healed. He took off the gauze on his head without telling his parents, and watched the funeral from a distance across the hill until the funeral procession left.

On the west hillside, there is a lonely new grave.

Mr. Qiu dared to go over while everyone was gone. He sat in front of her tombstone, looked at the words on it, and smiled helplessly.

Xue's beloved daughter, Mingxue.

It's ridiculous, obviously married as a wife, but went home to be buried after death, if it wasn't for Xue's family wealth, people around would be afraid, maybe some kind of gossip would spread.

The cold tombstone, without the slightest warmth, is like the heart of Old Qiu. At this time, Xue Mingxue has sunk into the soil, and there is no light to be seen.

From morning to afternoon, from dusk to late night.

I couldn't see my fingers, birds chirped and insects sang, Mr. Qiu leaned on the tombstone, looked at the blurry starry sky, and smiled slightly: "I know you are afraid of the dark, but I can only accompany you until now."

In fact, Qiu always wanted to sit until dawn, but his eyes were blurry. He knew well that the injury to his eyes would not heal quickly. He took the doctor behind his back to remove the gauze and came here just to see his beloved buried in the ground with his own eyes. Send her one last ride.

After returning home, his eyes were blurred and he couldn't see anything clearly. From then on, the problem of his eyes being afraid of strong light disappeared.

His parents kept scolding him for being disobedient, but they didn't take it to heart, because he knew that he had no regrets in his heart, even if he was blind, he would not regret it.

A month later, Mr. Qiu, who was at work, was called away. Looking at the old man of the Xue family, he did not speak.

The old man of the Xue family is a very serious person on weekdays. He is unsmiling and has a lot of rules. He has heard of it before.

"This is what she left for you."

Old Man Xue didn't speak, and raised his hand to hand him a brocade bag, which was waiting, which looked heavy and had some weight.

Mr. Qiu was puzzled, and before he took the bag and opened it, the old man of the Xue family sighed: "Qiu Yu, right?"

Old Qiu didn't expect him to be able to call out his own name, so he was a little taken aback.

"My granddaughter is a poor person. She was doted on by Xue's family at her birth, but she didn't expect to end up unhappy. To tell you the truth, Xue'er never forgets you. The night before she got married, she told you She told me everything about it, but so what, it can't change anything, even if she gave birth to a son in the Du family, she still can't get over this knot in her heart, so she cheated herself for nothing."

Hearing these words, Mr. Qiu's chest was blocked, his brows were knit together, and his hands were trembling: "You...you said...it's true..."

"It's absolutely true, I'm an old man who is dying, why should I lie to you, Xue'er has you in her heart, our Xue family is sorry for her, and also for you."

"Mingxue, she..."

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Qiu vomited a mouthful of blood, half kneeling on the ground and clutching his chest.

"This sapphire unicorn is Xue'er's favorite thing, and she said in her suicide note that she will give it to you."

After Mr. Xue finished speaking, he sat on the chair.

Old Qiu felt a severe pain in his heart. He opened the brocade bag and looked at the sapphire unicorn inside. Xue Mingxue's voice and smile appeared in his mind, and tears blurred his vision.

"Death is like a lamp going out, I hope you can cherish this jade unicorn, Xue'er does not have this blessing."

Old Qiu didn't know how to get out of the gate of Xue's house. He was lost all the way, like walking dead, but he held the brocade bag tightly in his hand...

"Old Qiu, Miss Qin is back."

The voice at the door brought Qiu Lao's thoughts back to reality. He raised his hand to wipe away his tears, put the sapphire unicorn back to its original place, and walked out.
