Chapter 177 Alive
The backyard of Xu's house was covered in blood. The bodies of the six killers were lying in a circle. Jiezi's body was no longer intact, and Youyou and Fu'er had also lost too much blood.
For a moment, it looked a bit like the tragic scene of hell on earth.
The lanterns along the way finally lit up, illuminating the courtyard that was usually full of laughter and joy, making it seem a bit desolate.
Somewhat unreal.
Xu Shu heard the news from the children and hurried over.
But the moment she saw Fu'er and Youyou's bodies, she didn't dare to take another step forward.
"Fur!"
Her cry was like that of a hoarse-throated duck, filled with heart-wrenching sorrow.
Her usually healthy body seemed to be drained of strength at this moment. She felt as if her heart was being stabbed again and again, and pools of blood were flowing out.
These are the two youngest children, and they are also the ones who bring her the most joy...
Her calloused fingers curled up, the sensations from her body reminding her that she was still in this grief-stricken and collapsing world.
The group of children behind her also stopped abruptly when they saw the scene in front of them.
The two little sisters who usually loved to pull them and act coquettishly were now lying on the ground, looking lifeless.
Did she, they, die like those three companions?
There was a gasp of horror, and the children were too frightened to move.
After a while, bursts of low sobbing were heard.
Waves of fear washed over Lu Xuan, who only felt thankful.
Fortunately, she rescued them.
Fortunately, God did not punish her this time.
She had consumed a large amount of energy in a short period of time, and she had only recovered for two days, so her body was already very weak.
Leaning on Qingdai to steady herself, she used all her strength to shout towards Xu Shu, "They're not dead!"
A tremor came from the body.
But it came from the indigo she was leaning on.
Qingdai was indeed worried.
The two children had their necks slit by the killer and lost so much blood, how could they not die?
She was now afraid that the princess had been stimulated and her mind was out of control.
After all, the look of her going crazy towards the mustard seeds just now still filled her memory.
Lu Xuan half-closed his eyes and raised his right hand to wave, "They are really not dead..."
Her voice was not loud, but the people standing nearby heard it.
When she rescued the children just now, Sang Luo and the others were fighting with the killers. In addition, people could not see souls, so they did not know that the two children had been saved by her.
Sang Luo has always believed in Lu Xuan. Her pupils lit up and she immediately ran towards the two children.
When she arrived in front of the two children, she stroked their noses and chests with trembling hands. The skeptical expression on her face turned into incomparable surprise in the moment of confirmation.
"Not dead! The two children are really not dead!"
Even his voice trembled with joy.
Xu Shu still couldn't believe it. Even after he stopped crying, his tears were still flowing.
She strode towards the two small figures, but the further she walked, the more nervous she became.
It was as if a huge rock was pressing down on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe, and he gradually developed a vague feeling of suffocation.
"Miss Xu, you try it!" Sang Luo stood up from between the two children, made room for her, and motioned Xu Shu to feel her pulse.
Xu Shu squatted down, his fingers trembling as he moved closer. When he touched the small hand that had only a tiny bit of body temperature, his heart trembled.
She moved inch by inch towards the pulse, and when she touched the faint rising and falling rhythm, she was startled and suddenly retracted her hand.
"In the end, in the end..."
She murmured, but her hand didn't actually touch anything.
She just felt that the little hand was a little cold, and she was afraid, so she didn't dare to explore it any further.
She looked at Sang Luo in disbelief, until Sang Luo looked at her encouragingly, then she picked up the little hand she had just thrown away and touched it again with trembling hands.
Two breaths of time seemed particularly long at this moment.
She first felt Fu'er's pulse, then calmed herself down and quickly felt Youyou's. For a long time, she confirmed again and again until the temperature of the two children's hands gradually returned to normal. Finally, she couldn't control herself and frowned.
But the tears kept flowing more and more.
"Not dead, really not dead!"
She looked at the children who were following her and shouted hoarsely, "Your sisters are all fine, they are just injured. Don't cry anymore!"
For a moment, the children suddenly became quiet.
The crying gradually stopped, and then they all started to make noise and ran towards the two children, surrounding them in a circle with joy.
Yuan Shu's eyes were still glistening with tears, and he murmured in dissatisfaction: "It was obviously you who cried first, so we couldn't hold back..."
Xu Shu wiped away his tears, but couldn't help but smile. He hurriedly called out, "Go call Granny Zhang and the others, and take Youyou and Fu'er back home to recuperate!"
Everyone's bright eyes were illuminated by the dim candlelight, making the courtyard look like it finally had a little human warmth.
Lu Xuan looked at this scene and felt his heart was almost filled with warmth.
She gestured for Qing Dai to help her walk towards Xu Shu: "Take the two children back and let them lie down first. They have my talismans on them, so they will be fine. They just need tonic medicine to recuperate. Qing Yuan will go back to the palace to get it later."
As she spoke, she went over to hold Xu Shu's hand and said in a low voice, "Our most important task now is to deal with the bodies of all the killers in this yard..."
Xu Shu paused for a moment, and only then did he have the spare time to look around. He found that so many people had died.
In an instant, the joy in her eyes was replaced by hatred, and her voice became cold and deep: "They were the ones who killed those three children! Why keep them alive? If it were you, I would cut them into pieces and throw the bones to the dogs!"
She was furious, her face flushed purple, and the resentment in her heart made her breathing heavy.
Lu Xuan suddenly chuckled, his eyes shimmering with an unclear light. "Who said we should keep them? Tomorrow, we need to use these corpses to exchange for some excitement!"
"Lively?" Xu Shu was skeptical.
Lu Xuan smiled calmly, "Sister Xu, come closer and listen..."
……
The killer is dead, Ji Qingyan fell into the water, and the funeral of the three children can finally be handled.
That night, Lu Xuan was busy until midnight before leaving Xu's house.
The sound of clappers rang out countless times, and the night fell overwhelmingly.
He made all the arrangements and gave a lot of silver to Xu Shu to ease his guilt.
The sound of carriage wheels rolling on the streets of the inner city was particularly clear.
Originally, Lu Xuan didn't want to go back to the palace today, but his body couldn't help him...
I'm afraid it will take some time to recuperate before I can fully recover.
Otherwise, if you keep dragging it on like this, you may never recover from the deficit in the future.
But now, she is also a little worried.
With my body in this condition, I'm afraid it will take at least half a month to recover.
I don’t even have the energy to pack my luggage.
I haven’t received the divorce papers from Jiang Xing yet.
I did all these things recently without informing him.
But since both of them are like that, it is still a bit awkward for them to get along with each other.
Seeing that they were almost at the palace, Lu Xuan ordered the groom in a dignified voice: "Don't go through the Duanli Gate, go through the Guangzhi Gate."
Duanli Gate is the front gate of the palace and is also the gate with the most people entering and exiting on weekdays.
But that door would require passing through Cunxin Palace to return to Jinyuan, and she didn't want to.
Now that you have made up your mind, you can't drag your feet.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the driver's voice came from outside: "Princess, we're here."
Sang Luo had an injured arm, and Lu Xuan had to be half-hugged by Qingdai to have the strength to walk.
Just as he was about to step into Jinyuan, a slightly hoarse and clear voice came from a few steps behind him through the dim moonlight: "Are you back?"
