Chapter 144 Strong Will (4)
Xiao Gu, I can't wait for Xia Xue and the others to come back with the medicine.

The girl only felt that at this moment, her arm seemed to be out of control, and it was so heavy that she couldn't move it. After a long time, she was able to slowly move the hanging arm away from Xiao Gu's still immature face.

He glanced at the gray-clothed old man sitting on the threshold with almost no strength, and said with a sad voice: "Grandpa He, Xiao Gu... can't wait." The moment she turned her head, the crystal clear teardrops followed silently. The corners of the eyes slid down the cheeks, and then quickly flowed over the lips and melted into the tongue. The taste was as bitter as coptis, and it was astringent and blocked the throat.

"What, what? You said Xiaogu..." Dr. He suddenly turned his head, shaking his body violently.

But he stood up suddenly, and then ran towards the bed like crazy.Weiwei stretched out his withered hand, and moved it inch by inch toward Xiao Gu's nostrils, every half minute of movement seemed to use up all the strength in his whole body, the fingers moved in so slowly and heavily.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, cutting through the pouring rain curtain quickly and powerfully like a sharp knife.

"Miss Yu, I brought back the medicinal materials." The voice fell.

Dongfang Yu raised his head with difficulty, just in time to see Xia Xue rushing in in a mess, with the reed root and banlangen she wanted dangling in both hands.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

"It's late!" Dongfang Yu blinked lightly, and the crystal water droplets hanging on the eyelashes rolled down like beads with broken threads.

Seeing her sad expression, Xia Xue trembled all over her body. She froze on the spot and maintained a posture of one foot forward and one foot in the air. She was frozen in the dense rain curtain, letting the rain drip from her face and body. .

The strong wind blew past, bringing up dense water droplets, and hitting Xia Xue's pale cheeks hard, but she felt no pain at all.

Time also seemed to stand still at this moment, Dr. He turned his back to them, his stooped waist could hardly straighten up, and his drooping shoulders kept twitching.

The torrential rain continued, and for a long while, except for the sound of the rain, everyone in the world was crying silently, feeling infinitely sad for the little boy who was only eight years old and couldn't endure another quarter of an hour.

After a long time, Xia Xue gently moved her eyelids, which were nearly numb, and slowly lowered her left foot, which had been in the air for a long time, to the ground.

She gently sat next to the girl whose bright eyes were full of grief, and slowly choked up, "Miss Yu, I'm sorry, it's all my fault... it's all my fault!"

The girl looked up at the misty rainy sky, pulled a wry smile, and said lightly: "What happened on the way?" She had calculated that it would be no problem to come back within an hour with Xia Xue's lightness kung fu, and Xia Xue knew that she was waiting for her. With these medicines to save lives, if nothing else of a serious nature happened, Xia Xue would never have come back half an hour late.

Xia Xue blinked, but turned her head slightly, avoiding the girl's calm and trusting eyes, sighed quietly and said: "At first, I picked Banlangen very smoothly; after that, I went to Wusong Mountain to meet Weiya, and I went to Wusong Mountain When Wei Ya was digging reed roots on the edge of the cliff, when he saw me, he was careless and dropped the reed roots he got."

Xia Xue sighed lightly again, and said: "The second time I dug the reed root, but because of a thunderstorm, his whole body and the reed root fell down together. I had a lot of effort to save him But this time it was even worse, the isatid root on my body was gone; and the third time... I managed to gather both the reed root and the isatid root. As a result, because he was afraid of thunder and lightning on the way back, he panicked and evaded, and sprained. I kicked my feet and knocked the medicinal materials on my body into the nearby ravine."

"I had to find a cave, put him in place first, and then go back to pick up the medicinal materials scattered in the muddy water... Later, I hurried all the way, but I didn't expect that I came back too late, Miss Yu, everything It's all my fault, if I'm more careful, if I try my best to speed up my pace, maybe Xiao Gu won't...he won't be impatient."

Dongfangyu slowly condensed Xia Xue's cold face, that expression filled with endless self-blame, fell silent for a moment, blinked her bright eyes, the brilliance of the eyes was as bright as the sun, and the haze was completely dissipated.

"Xia Xue, it's not your fault. All of this may be God's will. Xiaogu probably didn't want to let Xiaohan go so alone. He was worried that she would be afraid on the road to the underworld, so he insisted on going to accompany her." The girl said lightly. Thinking, I remembered Wei Ya once said in my heart that Xiaohan and Xiaogu played together since they were young, and their relationship is very good.

"Miss Yu..." Xia Xue called out to the girl sadly, then suddenly looked directly into the girl's shining eyes, and said slowly, "Thank you."

Dongfang Yu wiped his eyes vigorously, stood up from the threshold, rubbed the back of his hands, and smiled warmly in his bright eyes, and said softly: "Xia Xue, if I want to say thank you, I don't know how much I have to say to you." Thank you so much."

Her eyes fell on Xia Xue's clothes that were covered in muddy water and grass debris, and she said, "You'd better go down and change your clothes before we talk about it, and I will take care of the rest; remember, you must never show me sick , I cannot leave you at all times now." The girl's bright eyes revealed a sense of dependence.

Xia Xue met the girl's eyes that seemed to be reassuring, and the heavy sadness in her heart due to guilt lightened a little, and she immediately responded: "Well, I'll go down and change my clothes right now, and I will never make trouble for you at this time."

The feeling of being needed made Xia Xue's depressed mood gradually calm down, and she returned to the state of full energy before.

"Xiao Gu, poor Xiao Gu, why don't you wait any longer... Woohoo! It's all useless to Grandpa He."

Dongfangyu watched Xia Xue leave, but suddenly heard Dr. He's murmured sobs in the fading rain.

She made up her mind and stepped forward to comfort her: "Grandpa He, Xiao Gu will be unhappy if you are like this. We have other things to hurry up and do. Xiao Gu's father and sister are still lying in there." .”

"Yes, you're right." The gray-clothed old man raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes, and out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the boy who was not breathing on the bed, and in an instant, he couldn't help feeling sad, and said in an uncontrollable voice: "But Xiao Gu... ..."

"Xiao Gu..." Heart-piercing mournful cries rushed in from the other side, forcibly suppressing Dr. He's sobs.

Dongfang Yu immediately felt a whirlwind blowing in front of him, and then saw a young girl stumbled and rushed to Xiao Gu's bed, half kneeling and half lying on her arms, crying in extreme sorrow, in the choked sound Almost out of breath.

It seems that if the girl is allowed to continue crying, it is estimated that within two quarters of an hour, she will cry so hard that she will pass out.

"Xiaogu...It's my sister who hurt you...It's all my sister's fault!"

Dr. He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, stepped forward and patted the shoulder of the crying girl, and said sadly: "Lina, Xiaogu doesn't blame you, don't do this, it would be bad if your father heard about it."
