Yan Xiao was frozen in place. Even if she only revealed her eyes, she could not see anything.

Yan Xiao's lips were pressed tightly together. She did not cry, nor did she feel that he could cry.

Jian Mo's tight embrace moved a little in Yan Xiao's heart. That pair of arms that Yan Xiao had previously felt to be especially powerful were now hugging her tightly from behind. Yan Xiao's throat was a little tight, as she raised her hand to hold onto Jian Mo's arm tightly, unable to say a single word.

Jian Mo whispered into her ear, "You still have me. You have Jian Huan, Jin Yi … You still have people you care about, and you still have a lot of things to do. Just tell me if you're sad.

He didn't know how to react to that. It was just that when Jian Mo said those words, Yan Xiao felt that his eyes were sore, and that they were inexplicably hot and swollen. Her eyes instantly turned red, and a layer of moisture had covered her eyes.

Yan Xiao remained silent. She did not know how to proceed nor how to react.

Jian Mo held his arm even more tightly. His voice was originally light and mellow, and currently, it seemed to carry a kind of thick, low, and pleasant voice that slowly whispered into Yan Xiao's ears. It was so light that it sounded like it was afraid.

His voice carried a kind of tender and protective love and love, but at this time, Yan Xiao was unable to split his thoughts. His heart was slightly sore, as ifhe had felt wronged because of Jian Mo's consolation, and she began to slowly resist.

Yan Xiao kept taking deep breaths, but she was completely unable to suppress her emotions.

The woman was unable to retaliate after being beaten up by Jian Mo, but that didn't mean she couldn't see. At the moment, she was still awake, and seeing the two of them, the woman seemed to be a little stunned. Then, she thought of something and looked at Yan Xiao with a strange expression.

The room in front of him was very small, about three meters in length and width. The floor was covered with cold stones, making it impossible for anyone to live in this room. Putting aside the fact that the four sides were filled with stones, the cold winter, summer and warm living environment, even sleeping outside was better than here.

The furniture on the floor, which was not big to begin with, was pitifully sparse. There were only a few pieces of cloth on the floor, placed messily in a corner. There was no pillow, there was nothing.

On the side of the stone door, there was a stone that was about used as a dining table. However, the stone was small, and its area was similarly small. Sitting on the ground, one would find the stone table short even if they were to sit on it.

Yan Xiao's heart was filled with pain. Jian Mo was afraid that if he were to let go, Yan Xiao would do something. He simply did not dare to let go, and tightly hugged Yan Xiao.

They were obviously sticking so close to each other now, but the thought of eating the tender tofu didn't flash past Jian Mo's mind at all. He only felt a bit of pain in his heart and mouth, and felt a lot of heartache.

Yan Xiao was stunned for a moment. Her eyes had always been moist, but she did not cry.

She thought to herself, this is because I don't have any feelings for my mother.

Yan Xiao self-deprecatingly thought to herself, wanting to break free from Jian Mo's embrace.

However, Jian Mo did not let go at all. Yan Xiao struggled for a bit before saying with a nasal voice, "Let go, I'll go in to take a look."

Jian Mo was silent for a moment, and then he released her, but he was afraid that if anything happened to Yan Xiao, he would not leave her side.

The stone room was too small. It only took him two steps to arrive in front of the skeleton.

The skeleton was not large, and it looked like a woman.

It was even more difficult for him to see what this person was like when she was alive, and Yan Xiao did not have the mood to see it.

Jian Mo said: "What do you want to do?"

Yan Xiao pursed his lips: "Bring him back first."

This is her mother. She doesn't want her mother to stay here after she dies." Bring her back first, bury her mother somewhere, and let her mother rest in peace.

Her mother had suffered so much while she was alive, so she had to find a beautiful place to have her mother sleep in peace.

This seemed to be all she could do.

As for Hong Yan, ah!

Yan Xiao looked at the skeleton, wanting to take it back.

She thought for a moment and took out a large box. She prepared to put the dried bones back according to the size of the body piece by piece. She was extremely careful and was afraid that if she were to make a big move, she would ruin the shape of the body or disturb her mother's peace.

While the act of silently picking up the dried up bones was originally something extremely terrifying, Yan Xiao actually did it in an extremely solemn manner.

The woman outside was thrown on the door and was able to see everything within the stone room. Her eyes flickered a few times, then she lowered her head without making a sound. It was as if she was feeling guilty and quiet.

Because he was being cautious, a long time had passed since Yan Xiao finished doing all this. She thought for a bit, then took out the torn and tattered cloth from the stone room and placed it in a small bag.

When he came out, Jian Mo wanted to hug Yan Xiao, but Yan Xiao dodged him all of a sudden.

Jian Mo was taken aback, but his voice became a little cold: "I … There might be corpse poison in your body. "

Jian Mo shook his head, then patted Yan Xiao's head: "Do you think that my strength is afraid of these small matters?"

From the moment he picked up the dried up bones, Jian Mo had already felt that Yan Xiao's body was growing colder and colder. Even if the words Yan Xiao said now were unpleasant to hear and even if the words were bone-piercing cold, he still could not leave. He had a premonition that if he followed Yan Xiao's words and distanced himself from her at this time, then he would never be able to approach Yan Xiao again.

Furthermore, what Jian Mo said was the truth, and he was indeed not afraid of all these.

Yan Xiao's eyes were still cold and filled with chilliness. She looked at Jian Mo quietly, as if he wanted to make him retreat in the face of danger.

Jian Mo withdrew the hand he used to rub Yan Xiao's head. Yan Xiao's cold and heavy eyes did not change, but they seemed to have become colder by a bit, and he also seemed to feel a sense of loss?

However, in the next moment, Jian Mo reached out and hugged Yan Xiao halfway, and said softly: "There's a hint of coldness in this stone room, I feel uncomfortable, can you let me lean on you a little?"

Was Jian Mo really afraid of the cold?

It was obvious that the person had approached him to give him warmth.

Yan Xiao could feel a cold feeling constantly surging from within his body, so cold that her four limbs started to stiffen, and his frozen face became expressionless. The coldness that caused her mind to start to close up, and he was slowly being entered by the warm spots of light that looked like they couldn't even see each other. Then, as if he was infected, the warmth started to slowly expand.

Her body wasn't as stiff as before, and her face was warm. She was able to think inside her head, as if she couldn't do anything without being frozen.

Yan Xiao raised her head and looked at Jian Mo. Jian Mo seemed to be embarrassed, even if he could not see anything, Jian Mo's eyes had a pleading look, causing his heart to beat faster. Why did he make such an expression? Was he really afraid of the cold?

Yan Xiao didn't know, but her mood was a bit better.

Jian Mo silently followed her out. When they passed by the entrance of the stone room, they saw the unconscious man and the woman who was leaning against the stone room with her head lowered in repentance.

Jian Mo and Yan Xiao both ignored the couple and slowly walked out. The woman's eyes clearly lit up when he saw Jian Mo and Yan Xiao walk away, but he was afraid of attracting their attention. He immediately lowered his head.

Jian Mo frowned, no one knew what he was thinking.

They walked out of the corridor and returned to the couple's bedroom without stopping.

The couple lived in a normal house, with a small yard behind them and a room through the door. This room could be used as a guest room, and beside the room were two other small rooms, one for storage and the other for the kitchen. The bedroom at the back was the first room.

After they left the bedroom, they came to the first room that served as the living room. There was a person lying on a chair in the living room.

This person was the mute slave that served the couple.

Jian Mo and Yan Xiao didn't do anything to the couple, not to mention a pitiful, unspeakable servant. Just now, Jian Mo was afraid of this dumb slave, so he only restricted her movements temporarily and placed her on a chair, before bringing the man out.

As for Jian Mo and Yan Xiao, the couple that Yan Xiao left behind, they were not afraid that they would find Hong Yan and tell others about him. Yan Xiao was still worried that she would not be able to see Hong Yan, if Hong Yan took this opportunity to look for her, that would be what would happen to Yan Xiao.

While walking, Yan Xiao held the box that held her mother's corpse, his hand could not help but gently touch it, her expression was complex, she thought for a bit, then suddenly emptied his hand and kept the box.

Jian Mo accompanied him quietly, and the two of them quickly left the great hall.

Jian Mo felt that something was wrong and looked back.

Yan Xiao silently took off the cloth that was covering her face. Previously, she had covered her face, afraid that someone would see her face and harm his, but now, she didn't care at all.

Hong Yan didn't know what they looked like, which was troublesome, but since she was already out, Yan Xiao didn't want to go back. After all, she wanted Hong Yan to find her and there were other ways, but after coming to this place that caused her mother's death, she didn't want to turn back at all.

When she turned around to go in, she found that she couldn't move her legs at all.

At this moment, Jian Mo suddenly stopped. He was half-embracing Yan Xiao, so Yan Xiao naturally stopped as well.

Jian Mo suddenly asked: "Yan Xiao, are you sure that skeleton is your mother?"

Yan Xiao was startled. "You … "What do you mean?"

Jian Mo pursed his lips and shook his head: "I can't say. It's just that I feel that something is strange, but I can't really say what's wrong."

Just now, she was too preoccupied with her sadness, and Yan Xiao even lost her usual consideration and cleverness: "You're saying, that woman could have lied to us!"

Without waiting for Jian Mo to speak, Yan Xiao turned and ran in, looking for the lady to settle the score!

Her mother might not be dead, not yet!
