Xiao Yao realized that something was wrong with the Old Mistress" eyes and quickly held her hands. Her voice was hoa.r.s.e, as if she had used a lot of strength, "Mother."

An elderly mother woke Old Lady of Xiao Family up. She turned her head and the misty look in her eyes gradually disappeared.

Xiao Yao felt as if he had something stuck in his throat, he just half-knelt on the side of the bed and asked, "Are you alright?"

Old Lady of Xiao Family shook his head tiredly and did not say a word.

Xiao Yao lowered his head, "Mother, I know that you definitely hate me. I also know that I have committed a heinous crime."

Old Lady of Xiao Family tightened her fingers. She wanted to say something, but was unable to utter a single word.

Xiao Yao held her hand tightly, "Don"t be too agitated, if you have something to say, say it to me slowly."

Old Lady of Xiao Family closed his eyes, the corners of his eyes were moist.

Xiao Yao wiped her face, "Mother, you must be angry in your heart, blaming and blaming me. But mother, I have mistreated them for more than twenty years, I do not want to be an irresponsible man."

Old Lady of Xiao Family wanted to retract her hand. Yes, she was so angry that she wanted to retract her hand.

"No matter if you are angry or scolding me, these are all my responsibilities. I want a complete family, where there is happiness, happiness and a family reunion."

"No, don"t, don"t say any more." Old Lady of Xiao Family spat out these words with all her might as her body trembled intensely. She felt that her head was hurting, as if something had cracked open.

"Beep beep beep." Hearing the ear-piercing sound of the police, Xiao Yao panicked and stood up, "What happened?"

The paramedics rushed in through the door.

Xiao Yao was pushed out of the room, and the door closed tightly. In the last crack, he saw the old man"s helpless and desperate eyes, which were filled with tears.

Xiao Yu stood at the side, looking at the flocking crowd, he frowned: "Father, what"s wrong?"

Xiao Yao supported himself against the wall with one hand as he shook his head, "In the end, I did not betray them, or have failed my own mother."

"If grandma truly wanted a family, she wouldn"t make things so difficult for you. She only needs to loosen her mouth and our Xiao family won"t be so cold and quiet for the past twenty years." Xiao Yu said.

"You"re right, it"s all because of me." Xiao Yao"s head slammed into the wall.

About half an hour later, the doctors walked out of the suite in exhaustion.

Xiao Yao chased after him nervously. He could tell from their eyes that the situation was not good.

"Maybe not tonight."

"How could this be?"

"Please accompany her again."

Xiao Yao trembled as he entered the room once again.

The dim light made it hard to see who was sleeping on the bed.

Old Lady of Xiao Family opened her eyes once again. Her vision was blurry and blurry as she said, "She"s here."

"Mother." Xiao Yao kneeled beside the bed.

"Actually, you"re right." The old man struggled to say these words.

"Mother, don"t say anymore, it was your son"s fault."

"No, it"s Mother"s fault." Old Lady of Xiao Family turned his head and looked at him, his eyes red. "I, am too selfish and too proud."

"Mother!"

"You, listen to me, actually, actually thinking about it carefully, Qin Ran and Xiao Jing, were not wrong."

Old Lady of Xiao Family closed his eyes, and his body started trembling violently.

"Be good, child. Remember to be good."

"Mother, let"s keep insisting. I will take you home and I will take you home right now." Xiao Yao thought as he carried the old man.

Old Lady of Xiao Family grabbed his hand, "No need, it"s pretty good here, I feel pretty good these days, you"re not wrong, Qin Ran is not wrong, Xiao Jing is also not wrong, you guys aren"t wrong."

"Mother, your son knows that you hate me. It was I who failed to take good care of this family. It was I who failed to show respect to my father."

"No, just now, the old man, he, he came to see me. He said, I, why must, why must I be so persistent? Children are clearly so happy, but why … why am I, the mother, stopping them? The old man said, I"m too bad, how can I … how can I hurt my child like this?"

"Mother is not you, not you —"

"You … You must remember to live a good life and take good care of the Xiao family. Mother doesn"t blame you or hate you. Take good care of this family."

Xiao Yao looked at the old man"s unfocused eyes, and frantically hugged her hands, "Mother, listen to me, listen to me."

"Tell Qin Ran, I … I acknowledged her as my daughter-in-law, acknowledged both mother and daughter."

Old Lady of Xiao Family struggled intensely for a few moments before her vision gradually turned black and white. It was as if she saw a figure in a pitch-black environment.

Yes, the old man was finally willing to come and fetch her.

She stretched out her hand, wanting to touch the approaching figure.

The old man"s hand closed around hers, and he took her in his arms. "I"m coming."

"You"re finally willing to see me."

Old Lady of Xiao Family slowly closed her eyes, the corners of her eyes were wet. She still remembered that year when she was dressed in blush and bliss, that year when she was ten li away from the alley, that year when the gongs and drums rang in the sky, that year when husband and wife paid their respects to each other, that year where they promised to go through thick and thin …

Late at night, the sounds of a string of firecrackers were amplified in the darkness.

Qin Ran subconsciously sat up from the bed when she heard the voice. Due to the end of the year, it was normal for everyone to release firecrackers, but why did she hear this voice as if it was from the Xiao Family?

Only the Xiao family could set off firecrackers. This was a villa far away from the city, so how could there be another family?

Qin Ran anxiously crawled up from the bed, and just as he pushed open the door, he saw Xiao Ye"s expression rush up the bed.

Xiao Ye"s expression turned serious and only said one sentence: "Grandmother has gone."

Qin Ran"s heart skipped a beat. He didn"t care if he didn"t put on his jacket as he ran downstairs.

The entire hall of the Xiao family was in a mess. It was as though everyone was running and everyone was busy everywhere, not knowing what to do.

Qin Ran stood in the middle of the living room, the light from the lamp shone on her body, on the 28th of December, it was so cold that it was hard to stop it from freezing.

Xiao Jing heard the sound and also ran down from the second floor. She was wrapped in an army overcoat, and asked: "Mom, what"s wrong?"

"The madame has pa.s.sed away." Qin Ran"s voice sounded a little desolate as she looked at the child behind her. "Go back to your room and pack up.

"I know."

Xiao Jing walked back to his room.

Shen Cheng Feng had already dressed neatly and put on his army hat, "Don"t worry, I"ll go with you."

Xiao Jing changed into a set of dark clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

When Old Lady of Xiao Family was young, he was a hero. Although he had retreated, he was still a respected figure in the capital.

The moment the news of her sudden death spread, the entire capital fell into an uproar.

It all happened so suddenly. Everyone in the capital was stunned. Was this really true?

Early morning of the second day, Xiao Yao personally announced the news that Old Lady of Xiao Family had died around 2 o"clock this morning.

Qin Ran stood beside Xiao Yao. Looking at his extremely haggard face, he knew that Xiao Yao must have not slept for the entire night.

Xiao Yao stood beside the coffin and watched his mother sleeping peacefully. His nose felt sore, his eyes turned red, and he knelt down powerlessly, sighing out loud, "Mother!"

Qin Ran knelt down beside him, "Master."

"It"s my fault, it"s my fault, no matter what I say, it"s my fault. Qin Ran, Mother was angered to death by me, she was angered to death by me." Xiao Yao helplessly patted the coffin, his fingers caressing the sides of the coffin, his fingernails split apart, as though there was blood flowing out.

Qin Ran held his hand and comforted him, "Old master, this matter is not right or wrong, the old lady might be regretting it, but she will not blame you."

"I saw the despair in her eyes. She was questioning me."

"Master!"

BOOM! The tightly shut door was forcefully pushed open from the outside.

Xiao Chen"s body was covered in rain. She panted as she looked at her mother, who would no longer wake up in the coffin, and staggered forward. Originally, she thought she should cry, but she did not know why, she wanted to laugh at this moment.

"Hahaha, hahaha."

"Xiao Chen." Xiao Yao stood up from the ground in anger.

"Marshal Xiao Yao, are you scolding me?" She pointed at the man who had his head held high and his chest puffed up, mocking, "I feel that Old Lady of Xiao Family is truly a legendary woman. My son is unfilial, my daughter is unfilial, and in the end, he was angered to death by his own pair of children.

"Xiao Chen, if you still have a little bit of conscience, you should not have come at this time to disturb Mother"s Undead." Xiao Yao pointed to the direction of the door and said, "Go out."

"I came to disturb Mother"s Undead? Then what are you doing here with this woman? You clearly know that your mother hated them the most when she was alive, but why do you insist on whispering things to her here at this time? Do you think it"s not enough to punish your mother for dying from your anger? " Xiao Chen smashed the gla.s.s window in front of her, causing it to tear through her flesh. Blood dripped onto the ground drop by drop; it was resplendent.

"She is my wife. It is only right that she should keep watch for my mother." Xiao Yao replied without hesitation.

"Then I"m still my mother"s daughter. Why can"t I stay here?"

"We are the most unqualified siblings here." Xiao Yao raised his head, "We do not need to quarrel here, go out, immediately go out."

Qin Ran tugged at the corner of Xiao Yao"s clothes, and shook his head, "Talk to her properly, I"m going out."

"You don"t have to go." Xiao Yao held her hand.

Qin Ran shook his head, "Master, what Madam Xiao Chen said is right. The person the old mistress did not want to see is me.

"She said she would accept you before she died."

"I know. She doesn"t want to see you feeling guilty for her sake, and I certainly don"t want to see you feeling embarra.s.sed for my sake."

Xiao Yao did not speak, and could only watch as she turned around and left.

Xiao Chen smiled coldly and squatted down to light the incense stick, "Do you know what mother told me before she fainted?" She does not hate him. She only resents him for not taking her with him and leaving such a sorrowful Xiao family to her. "

"We are all sinners."

"Yeah, I"m sure you won"t be able to go to heaven after death, so I"m not going to say any kind words to you. In my heart, you"re just like me, unworthy of being forgiven." Xiao Chen stood up with a burning gaze.

Xiao Yao lowered his head and did not say a word, his fists slowly clenching tightly.

Xiao Chen closed his eyes; there was something burning hot rus.h.i.+ng out of them. She said in despair, "I just want to beg for her forgiveness. She is unwilling to tell me even in death that I am her own daughter, and she is unwilling to forgive me even in death."

"Go back." Xiao Yao turned his back.

"Yes, I will go back. I will take one last look at her, one last look."

Cold wind blew on his face, and drops of rain fell from the roof.

Qin Ran stood in the empty corridor and stayed silent for a long time.

"Don"t take the words that I said in the mourning hall to heart. I was wrong." Xiao Chen stood behind Qin Ran and similarly looked at the string of rain beads.

"I know you"re just in a hurry, you"re not bad."

"I don"t understand. A reasonable woman like you, why doesn"t my mother like it that much?"

"Maybe she doesn"t know me."

"No, she wants to understand that you don"t need to get along. She"s just jealous."

Qin Ran kept quiet and frowned uncontrollably.

Xiao Chen laughed bitterly to himself, "I can"t think of any other reason. Isn"t it good to have a family as a whole?" Why did he have to break it up before being satisfied? She had been acting on her own for so many years, didn"t she feel lonely? "How can the flashy Xiao family be warm?"

"No matter what, the dead are big." Qin Ran looked at the beaded raindrops and did not say a word.

Xiao Jing, dressed in a black suit, walked out from the end of the corridor with Shen Cheng Feng following behind her.

"Is everything ready?" Qin Ran counted the items that Xiao Jing was holding, which was considered complete.

Xiao Jing looked at Xiao Chen and stood up, bowing, "Madam."

"If someone were to treat me like this for over twenty years, after she dies, I would definitely raise my head and laugh out loud. I am rather narrow-minded, and cannot do what you all have said. I will repay the kindness with virtue." Xiao Chen opened up his umbrella and walked down the stone path, "I also hope that you can maintain your original intentions. Actually, it is not a bad thing to live so innocently."

Xiao Jing looked at the figure that left and frowned, "Did mother say anything to you?"

"It"s nothing much. Let"s go and send the madame back to the military camp." Qin Ran walked along the empty corridor.

Xiao Jing nodded, "If you need anything, just give me a call."

"What can I do for you?" Qin Ran walked up the steps, "On the other hand, the two of you, be careful when you"re training, don"t hurt yourself."

"Mom, are you treating me like a small soldier? I am the leader of a team. I am already a leader. " Xiao Jing patted his chest confidently.

Qin Ran pointed to her head, "Alright, you better stop showing off your military achievements in front of me. Mommy only thinks that you have a fair and square conscience, those military merits and glory, I do not understand, I only want my child to be healthy and safe."

The mourning hall came to an end with a curtain of sighs.

The car was on the highway.

The rain outside the window was gradually getting heavier, the warm wind was blowing on his face, Xiao Jing pulled up his jacket.

"Are you sleepy? "If you"re tired, then sleep for a while, and we"ll be at the camp very soon." Shen Cheng Feng turned on the music, and the cla.s.sical piano music resonated throughout the carriage.

Xiao Jing looked out the window, "officer, do you think that there"s really reincarnation after death?"

"Do you believe that?"

In the past, I didn"t really believe him, after all, when he died and his eyes were closed, it was unknown if he fell asleep or if his soul was gone. Now, I really want to have reincarnation, and this way, I might encounter the officer again in my next life. Xiao Jing turned his body, and looked at the person in front of him with his burning gaze.

Shen Cheng Feng gently stroked her little head, "What nonsense are you thinking about? You still have so much time in your life to look forward to your next life?"

Xiao Jing held onto his hands, "Isn"t that so? I"m afraid that the Heavens aren"t sincere about me, so I need to burn a fragrant incense every day so that the Heavens will see my innocence." "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh …"

"You are a soldier, how can you believe this superst.i.tious thing that would mislead a child?" Shen Cheng Feng pinched her cheek, "Go to sleep, I"ll call you when it"s time."

"It will take at least four to five hours to get back to Iron Eagle from here. If I don"t talk to you, what if you fall asleep with the car on?"

"This is my entire world sitting here, how could I dare to slacken my sleep?" Shen Cheng Feng used his hands to cover her eyes, "Alright, go to sleep."

Xiao Jing gently pulled a corner of his hand away and laughed, "I just want to see officer fall asleep and be mesmerized by your beautiful beauty."

Shen Cheng Feng looked at her, "I will allow you to do that."

"officer, why are you so beautiful?"

"Born." Shen Cheng Feng proudly touched his bald head, he felt that this hairstyle was rather handsome-lately.

Xiao Jing noticed that his head, which seemed especially bright in the rainy night, and could not help but say with a smile, "He must be a natural born beauty."

The car pa.s.sed a puddle and splashed.

BOOM! A strange sound came from the bottom of the car.

Shen Cheng Feng subconsciously stepped on the brake, the car instantly lost its balance due to the sudden stop, and slid for a few meters before coming to a stop.

Xiao Jing"s body pounced forward once due to the inertia, and then was pulled back by the safety belt. She looked at the front of the car in surprise, the sound of the rain sc.r.a.ping against the window could be heard.

Shen Cheng Feng unfastened his seat belt and looked at the heavy rain outside the window, "I"ll go and see if there"s a flat tire, you can stay in the car."

Xiao Jing turned around and instinctively looked at the figure who was squatting behind the car and inspecting it. The rainy night was extremely quiet, and the entire surface of the ground seemed to be filled with the sound of rain.

Shen Cheng Feng stood up and just as he opened the trunk, his gaze darkened. A very clear bullet mark entered his vision and his hand swept past it without leaving a trace.

The carriage suddenly shook, Xiao Jing raised his head, and saw that their officer had already jumped up onto the roof, and in the next moment, he slid down from the roof and hid in front of the carriage.

"Bang, bang, bang." Bullets rained down from all directions and shattered the winds.h.i.+eld. The entire car was covered in bullet marks.

Xiao Jing laid down and took out his sniper rifle from under the carriage.

Shen Cheng Feng noticed the car that was already covered in wounds, without hesitation, he ran out from the front of the car, and the bullets started to attack his exposed body more and more violently.

Xiao Jing kicked the door open and shouted, "officer!"

Shen Cheng Feng jumped and hid behind the stone block.

Xiao Jing slid the AK in his hand across the ground.

The gunshots stopped.

Rain fell onto Xiao Jing"s face coldly as she held onto the spear with both of her hands and carefully observed her surroundings.

The cold wind blew, and the entire night seemed to have returned to its initial tranquility, without any accidents.

Shen Cheng Feng listened attentively, and the sound of rain covered most of the sounds heard, but he could still clearly hear the intermittent sounds of footsteps. According to the voices, the opposing party must have at least ten people, to be able to attack in such a short period of time, and even have such a powerful weapon, he seemed to have already guessed who was ambus.h.i.+ng them.

Xiao Jing stuck her head out, her eyes looking around, she picked up a small stone from her tiptoes, and threw it out high.

BOOM! The bullet pierced through the center of the rock, causing it to explode in the air, filling the air with dust.

Xiao Jing squinted his eyes, just as he was prepared to shoot, another gunshot came out.

Shen Cheng Feng caught sight of the sniper hiding in the shadows under the rainy night. The bullet was like a giant dragon flying into the sky, with its sharp fangs opened wide, it completely engulfed the prey in darkness.

Xiao Jing slowly moved her feet, and without making a sound, she climbed over the other fence. She lowered her body and carefully walked towards it, step by step.

With great difficulty, he had infiltrated the Hua Nation and planned this sneak attack meticulously. However, he seemed to have forgotten something, could the army that could easily kill his own brother be an ordinary army? Could a person who could destroy both the viper and the scorpion in one go be an ordinary person?

Sweat was pouring out of his forehead. He clenched his teeth, raised his hand high and then swung it down. At this point, all he could do was fight to the death.

Xiao Jing heard the clear sound of footsteps. Yes, the other party was attacking again, and before she could react, waves of gunshots broke the silence of the night.

"Bang, bang, bang." The bullet hit the ground, splas.h.i.+ng the wet mud.

Xiao Jing threw herself forward, dodging the incoming bullets. The sound of gunfire filled the entire night, she panted as she leaned back against the rocks, opening her palm, revealing a touch of red.

F * ck you, you can"t play games. At least respect a king like her.
