Moonshine & Valentine: His Excellency’s First Love (Love Knot) - Chapter 53
Pippi took care of Helan Jingting for two days in his house on Xianting Street, but his injuries did not improve. The injuries on his arms and legs gradually healed. But the “hole” in the waist still oozes blood continuously, and it can’t be stopped no matter what way. Helan Jingting’s face is getting paler and paler, like albino patient, with light blue blood vessels clearly visible on his face. And his heartbeat is also fast, three times as fast as before.
Yang Qi, Yang Qi, Pippi said to herself, Helan Jingting needs Yang Qi!
The first morning she went out to buy a wheelchair, took Helan to the train station in a taxi, and accompany him in the crowded waiting hall for four hours to “practice”. In the afternoon, they went to the gymnasium and watched the men’s basketball team after watching Class A. Mix in rock concerts and discos at night. In a word, she would take him to any public place with many people she could think of. However, Helan Jingting couldn’t lift the energy, and was too lazy to talk, and fell asleep in the wheelchair most of the time.
The second day is the local cultural festival with a grand parade. Pippi pushed Helan and held the small red flag, and followed the parade from beginning to end. On the way, she kept asking herself where else there are so many people, where else there are so many people… She can’t wait to go back in time and return to the Cultural Revolution, how strong the young Red Guard should be. Thinking of this, she had an idea and took Helan to the No. 1 student canteen of C City University. It was lunchtime, and the canteen was full of people, and the sound was like a flood. But the students ate too quickly, and the large canteen was empty in less than two hours. Looking back at Helan Jingting in the wheelchair, his head tilted to one side, obviously ineffective, he was still in a semi-drowsy state.
Passing by a hospital, I bought some bandages and anti-inflammatories. Pippi was hungry. He bought a few buns by the side of the road and ate at the flower bed.
“Ah, Helan.” She pushed him and he woke up.
“If this continues and the wound cannot heal, will you die?”
He lowered his head and continued to be confused: “No.”
“You lie to me. Your face is as white as paper.”
“Ok……”
“The moon that had been exposed all night yesterday also didn’t improve.”
“Don’t worry…”
“There must be a faster way!” she said, “I have a friend who knows a lot of people. I will ask her if she knows a surgeon. You know the liver can regenerate. I think… if I cut my liver Part of it to you should be no problem. According to the Internet, even if two-thirds of a healthy liver is removed, it can grow back to its original state—”
Before she finished speaking, Helan Jingting’s hand suddenly stretched out and pinched her neck.
“Oh–”
“Pippi, come to my ear, I have something to say to you.”
After swallowing the last bite of the bun, she leaned her head over.
“You are not allowed to mention this stupid thought, or I will disappear and you will never find me again.” He took off his glasses and looked at her blankly with empty eyes.
She was taken aback by his aggressive appearance.
He held her face, forehead to forehead, and said word by word: “Did you hear?”
“Listen, I heard.” Her eyes were red. “But, you have been injured for two weeks, why do you still look so weak and show no signs of improvement?” She looked at the bustling crowd at the entrance of the hospital and was helpless. “I I am really worried about you, really!”
“Aren’t you always taking care of me? I’ll be better.” He said softly.
At dusk, they returned to Xianting Street. The taxi driver helped Pippi get Helan Jingting out of the car. His wound was still bleeding, and there were a few drops on the clean steps. He clenched his teeth and said nothing.
The driver left. Pippi took out the key and opened the door, sending Helan Jingting into the yard.
She was shocked when she entered the door.
A person stood quietly under the huge banana tree.
His face was droopy, his clothes were dusty with wine stains, his trouser legs were wrinkled, as if he had just returned from a distance on a crowded train.
The strangest thing is his eyes.
He kept staring at this door, saw Helan Jingting, and suddenly narrowed into a small gap.
“Hi, Xiuyan!” Pippi yelled happily, “When are you back?”
Her smile quickly disappeared. Xiu’s face was terrible, he ignored her, just looked at Helan Jingting in the wheelchair, and forced him step by step, hissing, “Where is he?”
Helan Jingting didn’t speak. Turning his head and telling Pippi: “I have a few words to say with Xiuyan, Pippi, you go to the study and wait for me.”
“I won’t leave you.” Pippi sniffed a hint of danger from Xiuyu’s voice, but stood still behind him.
The atmosphere is a bit tense.
After a moment of silence, Helan Jingting suddenly raised her head and said to Xiu Yan: “Now you go to him and hit the stone with an egg. – You are not his opponent.”
“Where is he?” Xiuyan roared murderously, “He is injured, isn’t he? Tell me where he is. This is my only chance!”
“Even if he is injured, you are not his opponent.” Helan Jingting coughed lowly, “You have no chance.”
“It’s none of your business!”
“This matter, wait until my body recovers.” Helan’s tone is very calm, calm with majesty.
“You have recovered, and he has recovered. It is difficult for us to find him. You can find him immediately while he is injured and can’t hide his smell. Or,” he continued to approach, “you already know where he is hiding. ?”
“He is in this city.”
“Which district of this city?” Xiu Yan leaned down, twisted the wheelchair with his hands, and the muscles on his face were trembling, almost deformed.
“I can’t tell you, you will be calm for a while.” Helan Jingting stood up calmly and said lightly, “I’m tired and need a rest. You go back first.”
He helped Pippi to walk towards his bedroom.
After a few steps, Xiuyan suddenly said:
“Either you tell me where he is, or I tell her the curse.”
The word “curse” hit him like a bullet. Helan Jingting’s body suddenly stopped. He took a deep breath and said coldly: “Don’t forget that you promised me–”
Pippi looked at them blankly.
Helan Jingting’s face was strange. He was obviously concealing something, and at the same time, there was murder in his eyes.
Xiuyu turned a blind eye and continued to pressure: “I only need to know where he is. I will find him by myself, no matter what the consequences are, it’s none of your business.”
There is a dog lian on the ground, originally tied to a fence beside the corridor. Pippi suddenly asked, “Where is my dog?”
“I ate it.”
“You? Eat it?” Pippi took a step back.
“As soon as I entered the door, it came at me. Miss, what would you do if you were me?”
“This is my cousin’s dog–” Pippi said angrily.
“Pippi,” Helan Jingting said, “please avoid it. Xiuyan and I have something to say.”
“Evasion is fine,” Pippi said sharply, “but you have to tell me first, what curse? Is it about my curse? Did you tell me personally, or did the Xiuyan tell me?”
It turns out that there are more mysteries between them. She held her breath and waited for their answer.
Xiuyan hummed slightly and looked at Helan: “Tell me where he is and I will disappear immediately. Otherwise–”
Helan Jingting sneered: “Do you want to threaten me?”
“I want revenge!”
“I can’t tell you because I can’t watch you go to death.”
“How do you know I’m going to die?” He kicked hard to the porch.
The figure flashed, and Helan Jingting rushed over, clasped his throat with a palm, and pressed him onto the pillar. Xiuji struggled hard, his face flushed, and he could barely breathe.
“Hey! Don’t fight yourself!” Pippi hurriedly pulled.
Helan Jingting’s phalanx was shrinking, with a “click”, let go, and coldly said: “You can’t even deal with me, so why are his opponents? His injury is not as severe as mine, even me. Avoid him.”
Xiu’s face was blue and white, he jumped up suddenly, pulled out a bunch of peony in the yard, and stepped on the ground. Then he went frantically to pluck roses, rose, begonia, magnolia, camellia, primrose… and his figure disappeared.
Pippi looked at his back and trembled: “He went to the garden, will he pull out all your flowers?”
“Of course it will.” Helan Jingting snorted softly, “However, you can plant it again after you pull it out.”
After all, he went to his bedroom alone without looking back.
Pippi rushed to knock on the door, and a cold voice came from inside: “Don’t come in, I’m working on the wound.”
She turned and went to the garden.
The garden was really messed up. All the flowers were uprooted and thrown on the road. Even vines and small trees that don’t bloom are not spared.
Pippi distressed the few white peonies and precious orchids that Helan Jingting loved, so he leaned over and picked the flowers that fell on the ground, and put them in a basket for storage. Then went to the kitchen.
She ran into Xiuyan next to the refrigerator.
Seeing him in despair, she could only sigh, “Do you want something to eat? Here are some quick-frozen dumplings.”
He shook his head, Helan Jingting’s fingerprints were still on his white neck.
Pippi sighed in his heart, this fox tribe is inseparable from the underworld, and they fight at every turn, still fighting hand-to-hand.
She took a glass of Coke straight away, unscrewed the cap, and took a big mouthful with her head up.
“You don’t love him.” He said suddenly.
She stiffened, and turned her face pale: “It’s none of your business.”
“If you really love him, I would love to have an operation for you.” He looked out the window and said flatly: “I promise you will die comfortably without any pain.”
She suddenly smiled.
He turned his head and looked at her intently: “What are you laughing at?”
“Whether I love Helan or not, no one has the right to let me give up my life easily. You can’t, and Helan Jingting will not.”
“So, you plan to watch him die like this?”
This is the point.
Her heart jumped sharply, as if being held tightly by an invisible hand.
“He said,” she licked her lips, as if to say something that she didn’t even believe herself, “he will get better.”
“He won’t get better. He had had a fight with Zhao Song when he was in Siberia. Come back to you, you ask him to save people. He is not a god, a dying heart patient, even God is helpless. He can only take himself He’s Zhenyuan went to replace his life. Now, his remaining vitality is no match for a five-hundred-year-old fox fairy, so Zhao Song dormant around. Do you know the consequences of being bitten by a sky fox? He must be There is a hole, right?”
The cold sweat drenched her whole body, and she nodded.
“If you didn’t treat the patient who saw the ghost, the hole would heal in only three days. Now, it’s hard to say in three years unless you are willing to help him.” He stared at her face again, “Could it be you Do you really believe that it will take three years for Zhao Song to find him?”
His eyes were full of pressure, and Pippi said, “I am willing to give two-thirds of my liver. I mentioned it to him. He disagrees.”
“It’s not two-thirds, it’s all. Good things are done to the end and sent to the west.” He approached step by step. “This request sounds cruel. If you really understand the cause and effect, you will thank me. Really. , I am actually helping you.”
“Tell me, what is the cause and effect?” Pippi smiled without anger, “Even if I really want to die, I have to be a ghost, right?”
He picked up an apple from the table and ate it slowly: “Helan won’t let me say it. But you are a smart person, you can guess…”
Pippi thought for a while and said, “So, there is someone’s curse on me.”
His eyes blinked twice.
“For example, curse that I will never fall in love with Helan Jingting.” She thought for a while and shook her head, “This is impossible.”
“It’s possible. You don’t love him because you don’t want to die for him.”
She became impatient, and said loudly: “Xiuyu, let’s make it clear first: Your motives can’t be more obvious. You need revenge, so you need Helan Jingting. In order for him to help you, you Advise me to contribute my liver so that his injury will heal immediately and you have more chances of winning. I fully understand your logic, but there are three things I need you to understand.”
He raised his brow.
“First, I am not a fool, I will not die for anyone easily. Second, Helan Jingting will not want anything from me: never before, not now, never in the future. Third, you I want to persuade a person to die and have her believe your reasons. Your brain is stupid, and your motives are more dirty. Even if I am willing to cooperate with you, please don’t take morality at every turn like the old woman next door. Let’s talk about—”
He ignored this and interrupted her straightforwardly: “Have you heard of Song Yi?”
“My ex?”
He nodded: “She died of fire.”
“No, Helan told me she was drowning.”
“That’s not true. He doesn’t want you to know how terribly she died. That day, there was a power outage, and someone slept and forgot to put out the candle. The building she lived in burned, and she was burned alive.” He said, “That She was 22 years old a year.”
“This is an accident.”
“Song Yi’s predecessor was called Qin Lu, and she died in a car accident. She was twenty-three years old. It was not that she was accidentally crossing the zebra crossing at a red light and was hit by a truck driver on the road.
Her face turned white little by little.
He continued: “Qin Lu’s predecessor is Tian Wanting. Once she was walking with Helan in the rain. There was a lightning bolt in the air, and she was struck by lightning. She was only twenty that year and knew Helan for less than two months. Do you want to hear more examples?”
She was sweating all over and said nothing.
“As far as I know, all of your predecessors died very miserably and bizarrely. They were not over twenty-five years old before they died. Miss Guan, do you think you are luckier than them? Or, you can create a better life Longer record?”
Unconsciously, her voice began to tremble: “What you said is true?”
He took a long sigh, avoiding her eyes: “I have to teach my son, there are many ways to do it. But such a deep hatred between father and son is really rare.”
“It was Helan’s father who put a curse on Shen Huiyan? Cursed that all her reincarnations would die prematurely and die? Why did he do this!”
“I don’t know. No one knows. Maybe he hates Helan for splitting with his relatives for a woman. Maybe he just wants to see how determined Helan’s will is and how deep his love for this woman is.” He Looking at the apple in his hand, “If I were to perform the operation on you, even though it was a premature death, at least you would die comfortably without any pain. Tell me, am I helping you by doing this? Is it killing two birds with one stone?”
He tossed the apple in his hand like a blue ball, waiting for her answer.
Pippi sat down.
She suddenly forgot what year she was born, how old she was this year, and she couldn’t think of it. The Pippi family has no habit of celebrating a birthday, so that every time she fills out the form, she will ask her parents: “Dad, when were you born?”; “Mom, when is your birthday.”
A number suddenly appeared, and she suddenly realized that whether it was an imaginary or real age, she had already passed 23 this year.
So Pippi quickly made a choice: either, she believes in this curse, which means believing that she can only live for another two years at most. Either she doesn’t believe in this curse, so she has a future somewhat. Although it may be the future in quotes.
She doesn’t even want to believe that there is a fox fairy in this world, or that there is an afterlife in her life.
“You said—” She opened another glass of Coke and poured her head up. “Will Helan find the wrong person? Why is he sure that the person he found is Huiyan’s reincarnation?”
“The soul has a smell.” Xiuyan said, “The person you have loved, when she passes by you in the next life, you will find her. And your body also has a memory. You have died because of him. When your body touches him, it will produce strong rejection, reminding you not to approach this person.”
The soul has a smell! This is the second time she has heard this sentence.
She couldn’t help remembering that the first day she met Helan Jingting, she vomited endlessly. Does her body really have memories, will she really reject this fox fairy who has entangled her for hundreds of years?
Thinking of this, she suddenly smiled bitterly: “Xiuyan, you came so far to tell me this story? Tell me what happened in my lifetime? As a friend of Helan, why don’t you persuade him to give up looking for me? It is better to forget each other than to forget each other.”
“Why didn’t I persuade him? From the first day I learned about it, Kanei and I have been persuading him. He did so absurdly and ineffectively, only to deepen his pain and hatred. He used to be drugged by drugs. Himself, he once committed suicide, he slashed his wrists with a single knife. He trudged through the mountains to find you, he madly retaliated against his father… You can’t imagine what life he has lived for so many years. You disappear again and again, He searched again and again. He tried to get close to you and find a chance to get to know you. He didn’t know when you would die, so he could only hope to find you sooner, and do his best to ensure that the days before you die are happy. Then, he once again Once again I received the news of your sudden death, buried you with your own hands, stepped on the last handful of soil on your graveyard, patted the ashes on your hands, and started the next journey… the cycle is endless. You don’t think you should Help him end this absurd behavior? Don’t you think that his long life should have other scenery and other meanings?”
Pippi looked at him, and saw his chest surging and did not say a word for a long time. At the end, she asked: “You let me end this matter. Tell me, how to end it? Can it be over if I die now? Is this curse released?”
“There are only two ways to untie the curse: one, if the person who issued the curse dies, the curse will naturally disappear. Second, if you meet the requirements of the person who issued the curse, the curse will also disappear naturally.”
“Requirement? What requirement?”
“As long as Helan Jingting takes your liver and the entire liver, he will not only hope to restore his eyesight, but he will not be able to find you in your future reincarnations. If he can’t find you, he will gradually forget you and start a new life. .-Don’t you think this is a very happy ending?”
“What about me? Even if he can’t find me, will I still die before the age of twenty-five?”
“Yes. Mr. Aoki thinks this is the retribution you deserve. Unless he dies and his true essence is shattered, this curse can be completely resolved.”
“So the life and death of my next life will not matter to you.” She has developed a sense of humor so absurdly.
“Humans and foxes are different, and each has his destiny.”
“I’m sorry I went to the bathroom.” She said.
He stopped her: “When are you planning to operate?”
“Oh.” Seeing that he was still throwing the apple, she snatched it over, “When did I say that I was planning to have an operation? No. I don’t donate my liver.”
“Every reincarnation of Huiyan is more selfish than her, and you become the ultimate.”
Pippi looked straight at him with piercing eyes: “It’s not your youth, your love, or your destiny. Mr. Xiuyu, on what basis do you judge me, and why do you say that I am selfish?”
She came out of the bathroom and went straight to Helan’s bedroom.
He fell asleep quietly. It seemed to be painful, and his body curled up.
There is a ball of gauze on the little table in front of the bed. Fearing that she would see the horrible wound, he changed the medicine in the dark.
She sat down and held his hand.
It may be the instinct of animals. Helan Jingting will be very alert in this usual situation. In the middle of the night, he would jump up from the bed for any abnormal noise and check around. But Pippi suddenly entered the room and held his hand, as if picking up a branch from the ground, he did not respond.
His breathing is very hot, and his chest is also hot. She went to the kitchen to fetch ice cubes and found that Xiujin had left at some point.
Night fell quietly.
Helan Jingting was still asleep. Pippi went to clean the garden, sweeping the messy branches aside. She meditated for a while on the stone chair and decided to call Su Mei.
The phone went through soon.
She told Su Mei that Helan was injured. Ask her what way. She said, “Pippi, you have to find Qianhua. Qianhua can help him.”
Pippi quickly asked: “How can I help?”
“The matter between the vixen, Pippi, don’t ask.”
“That’s fine, call me Qianhua, and I will invite her right away.”
He hesitated over there: “Qianhua has no phone. Helan must rarely mention Qianhua to you, right?”
Pippi was stunned: “Yes, I haven’t mentioned it much.”
“Qianhua is a strange person, no one can touch her heart. She is the only amphibious fox in the fox world.”
“Amphibious?” Pippi thought of the amphibian.
“She lives in the zoo most of the time. She only becomes a person when she wants to play or relax. If you want to find her, you can only go by yourself, at night. She is not very talkative.”
“Will she be willing to come with me?” She was a little worried.
“Of course you have to give her something.” Su Mei said, “Don’t tell her that you gave it, just say Helan gave it.”
“What is it?”
“Clothes, candles, rouge, rings, pillows. The quality must be good.”
Putting down the phone, she ran back to the room. Find a piece of his pajamas in Helan Jingting’s closet, and pull out a belt from it. Candles and pillows are readily available. It was sold in the mall at the foot of Rouge Mountain, but the ring was not found for a while. Pippi was ruthless and took off a gold ring that grandma gave him.
