Taking advantage of the quarrel between the two, the maids had long since run away without a trace.
The two young servants bickered for a while. Then, gritting their teeth, they reached out to move the body. The sight was so terrifying that they had to cover the corpse with a headscarf.
Wang Quan Ba Ye helped Churi Huaizhu into the yard. The sun was shining brightly outside. Maybe it could ease the discomfort she felt after seeing that scene.
"Huai Zhu, sit down and take a rest for a while," Wang Quan Ba Ye said as he let her sit in the small bamboo pavilion and patted her on the back.
Seeing that Churi Huaizhu's vomiting had subsided a lot, Wang Quan Ba Ye finally felt relieved.
Churi Huaizhu finally stopped vomiting, but her heart was still heavy. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Wang Quan Ba Ye pulled her into his arms and tried his best to comfort her.
"Huai Zhu, don't go back to that room for now. I'll ask the servants to clean another one up. We'll move to a different room later," Wang Quan Ba Ye said gently.
Churi Huaizhu nodded in his arms. This incident had really hit her hard. She had never thought that someone could hate her so much and even sacrifice their own life.
"Hubby, what on earth did I do wrong? Why do people always want to harm our child?" Churi Huaizhu sobbed.
Wang Quan Ba Ye hugged Churi Huaizhu even tighter. Seeing the tears on her face and her pitiful appearance, his heart ached.
"We didn't do anything wrong. It's others who are in the wrong," Wang Quan Ba Ye comforted the tearful woman in his arms.
After Churi Huaizhu's mood had stabilized a bit, Wang Quan Ba Ye dared to help her back to the room. He stayed by her side every step of the way until she fell asleep at night.
Wang Quan Ba Ye stared at Churi Huaizhu's sleeping face. Only then did he truly feel at ease. With nothing else on his mind, he accompanied her through the long night. As he watched, he also fell asleep peacefully.
Little did he know what kind of images were playing in Churi Huaizhu's mind at that moment. She saw herself sitting in the room peacefully when suddenly she felt the sharpness of a sword. In the back garden, Wang Quan Ba Ye, who was practicing sword - fighting, was pierced through the heart by a sword. She cried heart - rendingly in the dream, feeling so helpless.
Tears slowly slid down Churi Huaizhu's face as she slept. They were crystal - clear and went unnoticed by Wang Quan Ba Ye.
After a while, this nightmare shattered, only to be replaced by another scene. She and Wang Quan Ba Ye were once again in front of the Love - suffering Giant Tree. The two knelt on the ground and sincerely made a wish. Who would have thought that a black object would run out of the Love - suffering Tree? It was surrounded by a dark glow and had the shape of a fox.
Suddenly, this black object got into Wang Quan Ba Ye's body, and his eyes began to change. It seemed that he no longer recognized the world.
Wang Quan Ba Ye turned around and started to choke Churi Huaizhu's neck. His grip tightened, and Churi Huaizhu's neck was squeezed tighter and tighter. She could hardly breathe.
"Ba, Ba Ye, don't you, recognize me..." Churi Huaizhu said with great difficulty. She even kicked the quilt in a mess, feeling as if someone was choking her neck in the dream.
After that, several nightmares came one after another. Churi Huaizhu and Wang Quan Ba Ye were killed by others together. All kinds of bad things began to appear in Churi Huaizhu's dream, haunting her throughout the night.
The same thing happened for several consecutive days. Churi Huaizhu was so scared that she didn't dare to close her eyes and sleep. All the dreams were so real. As soon as she closed her eyes, all the bad things she had experienced would flash through her mind.
On another night, the moon had risen to the top of the sky. It was already past midnight, but Churi Huaizhu was still wide - awake, showing no sign of sleepiness.
Wang Quan Ba Ye, sitting beside her, felt extremely sad seeing that she hadn't had a good sleep for several days. He was even on the verge of getting dark circles under his eyes.
"Huai Zhu, are you still not sleepy? Look, it's so late. Let me sing you a song. Go to sleep, okay?" Wang Quan Ba Ye's tone was almost pleading.
Churi Huaizhu shook her head. It wasn't that she didn't want to sleep, but she was really too scared to. The nightmares of these days made her feel that there was always someone trying to kill them. Their child hadn't even been born yet...
"You haven't had a good sleep for several days. Are you trying to out - wait me like taming a hawk?" There was an uncontrollable smile on Wang Quan Ba Ye's face.
"What did you say? You're the hawk," Churi Huaizhu immediately retorted and reached out to punch Wang Quan Ba Ye's chest a few times.
Another sleepless night. Wang Quan Ba Ye just accompanied Churi Huaizhu and guarded her.
Early the next morning, he called a doctor.
The doctor felt Churi Huaizhu's pulse and examined her for a long time but couldn't find any illness. After listening to her description, he only knew that she had insomnia. All he could do was prescribe some sleep - aiding herbs. For the rest, only a psychological cure could work.
After hearing what the doctor said, Churi Huaizhu drank the herbal medicine for several days. It not only tasted bad but also had no effect. She still couldn't fall asleep at night, nothing like the effect of modern sleeping pills.
"Huai Zhu, what kind of nightmares did you have? You haven't been able to sleep for more than ten days in a row," Wang Quan Ba Ye asked curiously.
"I, I always dream that we two are assassinated, and our deaths are so hideous. All kinds of bad things keep happening," Churi Huaizhu stammered.
Wang Quan Ba Ye reached out and stroked Churi Huaizhu's head. "So that's it. Don't worry. At least we can die together. That's not so bad," he said with a smile.
Churi Huaizhu felt very warm - hearted. Suddenly, she felt that her nightmares were not so scary anymore.
Seeing Churi Huaizhu smile, Wang Quan Ba Ye felt a bit more at ease. They had indeed experienced a lot in these days. It was really his fault that he hadn't fulfilled his duty to protect a pregnant woman from going through so much. He felt a bit guilty.
"Huai Zhu, close your eyes," Wang Quan Ba Ye said mysteriously.
"What? Why should I close them?" Churi Huaizhu looked puzzled.
"Just close them as I tell you. Be a good girl," Wang Quan Ba Ye took out a black cloth strip from behind him. To prevent Churi Huaizhu from peeping, he even covered her eyes.
Churi Huaizhu was puzzled and didn't know what Wang Quan Ba Ye was up to, but she was sure it wasn't a bad thing.
"Yes, that's right. Follow my steps. I'll tell you when to stop," Wang Quan Ba Ye supported Churi Huaizhu and walked step by step. Churi Huaizhu was very obedient. She was also very curious about where Wang Quan Ba Ye was taking her.
"Okay, okay. We're almost there. Hold on a little longer," Wang Quan Ba Ye helped Churi Huaizhu cross the threshold and then stopped.
