Chapter 695 Let Me Be A Step Ahead Of You

The husband and wife rode away quietly the next morning in good spirits.

By the time King Rong and the others reacted, these two people had already disappeared!

And when Su Ran and Li Er came back, it was already a month later.

The returning Su Ran had a smile on her face and a pink face.At a glance, there is a bit of shyness of a young girl in her body.As for Li Er, he held his head high and held his chest high, with a hint of satisfaction in his deep eyes.All these years of depression caused by King Rong Quan's brother An Ge'er appearing in turn disappeared.

When he saw King Rong again, he even turned the corner of his mouth up towards him, and hummed triumphantly.

King Rong saw it, and he almost yelled for a knife to kill this man!

In the end, of course, nothing happened.

A few days later, Su Ran and the others discovered that Rong Wang and his wife had disappeared, and then Quan Geer and his wife, An Geer and his wife, and Mr. Yuan and his wife also disappeared.A month later, everyone came back one after another, all looking satisfied.

Now that we've all gone out to play, we've evened out each other, so we continue to live together lively and lively.Bickering and poking each other's hearts every day, life is still so lively and happy.

It's just that the joy this time didn't last long before it came to an abrupt end.Because, Li Er fell down due to a recurrence of an old injury.

As the king of Zhenxi, he has led troops into battle countless times, chasing enemy soldiers in high temperature or severe cold weather, chasing them for days and nights, and even his hardened body couldn't stand it.In the process of fighting against the Dashi army, he will inevitably be injured, and he almost lost his life several times!Although his wounds healed slowly after being rescued by military doctors, there are still countless shocking scars on his body until now.

Now that he is older, he even ran out with Su Ran to have a hard time, and some old injuries that were not fully healed at that time seized the opportunity to do evil on him again.

But this time, he was not able to resist the attack of the disease.

On this day, after the imperial doctor took his pulse, he walked to the front, and saw Su Ran and Brother Quan rushing over.

"How is it?" Brother Quan asked in a low voice.

The doctor shook his head. "King Zhenxi is too old, and his body is not as good as before. When he was injured, he was in a very dangerous situation. Thanks to his strong body, he was able to survive. But now, he no longer has such a strong body to fight."

Su Ran's body softened suddenly, and she almost passed out.

Rong Wang and An Ge'er quickly supported her by themselves.

Seeing this, the imperial physician shook his head and sighed: "King Zhenxi should be here in a few days, everyone should prepare for the funeral first!"

Su Ran closed her eyes immediately, and two tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

At this time, footsteps were heard from the front again, and the grown-up Miao sister came out from inside.

"Grandma, grandpa said he wants to see you, alone." The little girl said crisply.

"Okay, I see." Su Ran quickly wiped away the tears and walked in slowly.

In the room, the man who had made her rely on so many times in the past was lying there powerlessly.When Su Ran came close, she found that he also had a smile on his face.

It's rare, he hasn't laughed a few times in his life.Now at this time, he thought of laughing!
Just seeing him like this, Su Ran suddenly felt better, and she unconsciously smiled.

"You're here." The man nodded at her, and hurriedly pointed to the edge of the bed, "Sit down!"

Su Ran sat down.

Immediately the man put away his smiling face and frowned.

"It hurts." He whispered to her, "I wanted to laugh for you. But after laughing for a while, I still feel uncomfortable. I don't want to laugh now."

"You bastard!" When Su Ran heard this, her heart was sour and astringent, and she suddenly couldn't laugh.

"Don't cry, don't cry." The man hastily reached out and wiped her face clumsily.Then, taking advantage of the situation, he leaned his head against her again, "Can you hug me? I'm so tired."

Is it really uncomfortable?Now there were only the two of them, so he spread the fragility and softness deep in his heart in front of her without any scruples.

Su Ran quickly reached out to help him move, letting his head rest on her lap.

The man heaved a sigh of relief in satisfaction, and the look on his face was a little more relaxed.

"It's still the most comfortable way." He whispered.

"You!" Su Ran wanted to scold him.But thousands of words reached the throat, and finally turned into a sigh, "You know that your body is no longer suitable for tossing around, why do you want to toss around with me?"

"Actually, I felt a little unwell long before we went out," the man replied.

Su Ran was taken aback. "so early?"

"Yeah!" The man nodded, "At that time, I was thinking that I might not be able to survive this time. However, I was thinking about how to tell you, but the court came to reward you, and you offered to ask us to Let's go for a walk together. It's also out of a little selfishness in my heart. I don't want to leave in such a miserable way. Even if I really want to leave, I have to go happily. So, while I still have the last bit of energy, and You went out together and went crazy."

Then he smiled wryly. "This also exacerbated my physical discomfort. I have only been back for a long time, and I can't hold it anymore."

Su Ran blinked, she looked at the man in front of her, she didn't know whether to beat him up angrily, or shed a few tears and cry wantonly.

After the man finished speaking, he took the initiative to hug Su Ran's waist with both hands.

"I'm really a selfish person." He whispered again, "When I was a child, I used to do things for my own happiness, and I didn't care how painful others would be after being hurt by me. This time, I also wanted to walk on In front of you. I have already sent away so many relatives. Now I don’t want to send you away. I want you to send me off. Although I know that you will be very sad if you do this, I just can’t help it. After all, it’s not you who are sad , I am the one who is sad! Since this is the case, let me make you sad!"

"You..." Su Ran looked at him speechlessly, and found herself speechless again.

The man talked so much, he was also tired.Leaning in Su Ran's arms, he slowly closed his eyes. "If you want to be angry, you can do it. If you want to hit me, you can do it. I deserve it. As long as...you don't push me off of you. I want to die in your arms."

Su Ran was unable to close her eyes.

"Actually, if you don't tell me, I also hope that I can leave you one step later. It's so great that you are several years older than me!" She said softly.

"Really? Then I'm relieved!" The man nodded immediately.

After the words fell, both of them were speechless for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a sudden soft patter in the silent air, and a tear slipped from Su Ran's chin and fell on Li Er's face.Tears continued to slide down his cheeks, but unknowingly slipped to the corner of his mouth.

The man who was in a light sleep was awakened.

He subconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, then frowned again. "so bitter."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly opened his eyes wide. Su Ran, who was quietly weeping, also lowered his head and looked at him in disbelief.

"So you were crying secretly, I told you!" the man whispered, and then reached out to wipe her face indiscriminately, "Don't cry, your tears are really bitter. I cried myself I didn't feel bitter all the time, why do I feel so bitter about your tears?"

As he spoke, he put his finger, which was stained with her tears, into his mouth and sucked it, his whole face wrinkled into a ball immediately. "It's really too bitter!"

Su Ran suddenly burst out laughing. "You bastard!"

She gave him a soft push.

The man hugged her tightly. "I'm really tired, let me sleep next to you - don't cry anymore, I don't want to wake up again."

"Okay!" The woman nodded helplessly.

The man buried his face in her soft belly again, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

He fell asleep and never woke up again.

The funeral of King Xi of the old town was held in a grand manner.Brother Zhuang, Brother Bian, Sister Xiao, and Sister Zhu all came back, as well as their children, as well as people sent by the court to mourn, officials and gentry from all over the place. Similar villages are crowded and congested.

However, those have nothing to do with Su Ran.

Ever since Li Er completely closed her eyes, she acted like a normal person, dressed in sackcloth and mourning, and thanked everyone who came to express their condolences.It's just...she didn't shed a single tear.

49 days after we were sent to July [-]th, the next day was the day when Li Er's coffin was buried.

That night, Su Ran went to the kitchen to cook for herself. She made a plate of stir-fried Chinese cabbage, mixed a portion of shredded radish, and then made some cakes with ready-made noodles, and placed these things in front of Li Erling.

"Brother Zhuang, I will accompany you to eat this last meal." After finishing the things, she said softly to the dark coffin, "Do you remember? The first time I cooked for you was do these things."

After that, she picked up the chopsticks, picked some food for him first, then gave herself a chopstick, and started eating like that.

She talked to herself alone, give him a bite, and take a bite herself.In this way, a meal was eaten clean.

Brother Zhuang and his children stood far away watching this scene.Sister Xiao couldn't help it, covered her mouth and began to sob.Brother Zhuang quickly and quietly patted her on the back, comforting her in a low voice.

It wasn't until the meal was finished, seeing Su Ran start to clean up the dishes, that Brother Zhuang stepped forward to help her.

Simply put the dishes and chopsticks back, and Li Er's share was placed in front of his spirit, Brother Zhuang whispered: "Mother, it's getting late, you can go back and rest! You are tired enough these days .”

"I'm fine." Su Ran shook her head, "You are the ones who are really tired. Go out and rest first, I will accompany your father while I still have some time."

Brother Zhuang tried a few more words of persuasion, but Su Ran refused to listen.He could only come out alone with the food box.

"Big Brother..." Brother Bian hurriedly called, but Brother Zhuang made a silent gesture to him, "Let Mother stay with Dad for a while longer! Let's all go."

The children also left quietly.

Hearing the sound of light footsteps going away, Su Ran slowly walked to the side of the coffin.She sat on the ground and leaned her body towards the coffin.

"Li Yuanpu, you are such a bastard! Selfish bastard!" She gritted her teeth and cursed in a low voice, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, but two tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

Then, a gust of wind blew, the candles in front of the coffin flickered, and the mourning hall immediately returned to silence.

Early the next morning, the sun jumped out of the horizon, shining the first ray of sunlight on the earth.

Brother Zhuang came over quietly.

Walking into the mourning hall, what he saw was that her mother was gently pressing against her father's coffin, her eyes were slightly closed as if she had fallen asleep.The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, as if she had a good dream.

"Mother." He walked over slowly and spoke softly to her, "It's dawn, it's time to get up. Today is an auspicious time in the morning, and Dad's coffin will be carried out for burial in a while."

Su Ran didn't move.

Brother Zhuang yelled again, but she still didn't respond.

Brother Zhuang couldn't help reaching out and pushing her.

"Mother, mother—"
