The country is the most important thing, but you must be happy too.

After saying this, she slowly stood up. I saw that her body was so hunched that she could hardly stand up straight. However, she still tried hard to make herself stand upright, like a pine and cypress that was suffering from wind, frost, rain and snow, but never broken.

She looked up at me and waved her hand: "Let's go."

"No……"

I cried and shook my head, and wanted to return to her, but Pei Yuanhao behind me had already understood everything, so he pulled me and turned around and walked back.

"Mother!"

I cried like a child, trying hard to reach out to her, but my mother kept wavering to me: "Let's go."

Just as I moved forward step by step, a dull noise suddenly came from outside. Immediately afterwards, the ground under our feet was shaking slightly, and Pei Yuanhao staggered and almost couldn't stand steadily.

I hurriedly wanted to break free from his hand, but my mother walked up to me and reached out to push my shoulder: "Go!"

There might have been reluctance on her face before, and there might have been sadness in her heart, but now she was overwhelmed by a firm determination. I seemed to be back when I was scolded by her when I was young. When I was taught, no matter how I acted coquettishly or even cried and begged, she would not relax at all.

At this moment, she pushed me hand in hand, and I staggered step by step, like a helpless child, crying and begging her: "Mom..."

She looked up and saw the faint light coming into the stone gate. She looked at me again. Under the faint, almost extinguished candlelight, a trace of painful struggle flashed in her eyes, but in the end, she still reached out and pushed me heavily, pushing me staggered and exited the stone gate.

In an instant, she and I seemed to be in two worlds.

She stood inside, and the last little dark light was fluttering, sprinkling a large shadow on her face, but when I saw her eyes, it was brighter than ever, and even with a pleasant smile that I had never seen before. After looking at me for the last time, she stretched out her hand and the stone door slowly closed.

"mother!"

I cried bitterly and knelt in front of the stone gate with a plop.

Why is this happening?

Why is God so cruel to me, why did he let me find you, and why did he let you leave after I found you?

Can't the person I love really stay with me?

Seeing me crying and losing voice, Pei Yuanhao also fell silent, but after only a short period of time, the stone wall behind him made another loud noise, as if someone was hitting the stone wall. He gritted his teeth and came over to pull me.

"Light, get up quickly!"

"mother……"

I couldn't listen to anything anymore and just knelt down in front of the stone gate and cried bitterly.

Another loud bang, with the roar coming along the surrounding stone walls, sand and dust scattered above my head. Pei Yuanhao looked up and felt something was wrong. He pulled me hard by my arm and pulled me up. When I was about to struggle to push him away, he slapped me in the face.

With a "pop", my face immediately became red and swollen. I was beaten by him and my face turned toward me, and my ears were roaring.

He said, "You want to stay here? Do you want to die here?"

“…”

"Your mother is staying here, is it because you can die here with her?"

“…”

"She can do so many things, why can't you think about it as her daughter?"

I couldn't speak, and I didn't even have the strength to respond, and I just let tears pour down like a flood that broke the dam.

He looked at me, was silent for a moment, but came over again, grabbing my trembling shoulders with both hands.

“Light.”

“…”

"Although she is your mother, she knows very well that she has other identities."

“…”

"She is being herself."

“…”

"Are you, after so many years and after so many things, still stubbornly sticking to the identity of 'her daughter'?"

“…”

"You-you don't even think about Miaoyan?"

I suddenly trembled, turned my head to look at him with tears in my eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Our daughter, she is still in Wuwei. She stayed there to find the antidote for Liu Qinghan. Do you not even think about her? Don't you want to find her?"

I couldn't speak, only tears fell down my face.

Looking at my trembling look, he slowly carried me into his arms and said, "I know that you have suffered a lot in your life, and some of them are given to you. You want someone to rely on, and I hope you can tell me, I understand."

“…”

"As a child, the one he wants to rely on most is his own parents."

“…”

"I understand, I—and have experienced it."

I had no way to push him away, so I could only let him gently embrace me and whisper in my ear: "But you should also understand that at this point, she has no other choice. By today, she has been exhausted!"

The oil is gone and the lamp is gone!

These four words made me feel heartbroken. When I recall the lamp we walked in and kicked down, the only little lamp oil left, the faint light seemed to be the incarnation of my mother. She illuminated my life and dispelled the darkness at the last moment, but that was also the end of her.

"Light," Pei Yuanhao hugged me hard and said, "You should live her part and do what she can't do well in this life, and fulfill her wish that she can't fulfill in this life."

“…”

"Light, your life is her continuation!"

Hearing his words, I finally pulled out of the endless pain. Although the pain in my chest had not faded, and even tears were rolling down uncontrollably, when I turned back and looked at the closed stone door, I finally gritted my teeth and said hard: "I understand."

Pei Yuanhao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard me say this.

At this moment, the stone wall behind us once again made a deafening roar. When we looked back, a crack appeared on it and slowly cracked to the four sides, as if someone was hitting the stone wall outside.

Who is it?

Is it Du Yan, Wen Hu and Wen Bao, who are the guards who protect us?

still--

Just as I was nervous and tense my breathing, there was another heavy impact. The stone wall finally couldn't bear it. It shattered with a rumbling sound, and several huge gravels were hit and flew towards us. Pei Yuanhao hurriedly hugged me and turned around.

The gravel splashed and hit him, and I heard him cry in a low voice.

The smoke and dust dissipated, and everything seemed to be calm again. I raised my head in his arms, looked at him frowning with a painful expression, and said softly: "You——"

He looked down at me, his face showing a deep outline of gritting teeth, but after hearing my voice, he immediately relaxed, and just as he spoke, he was a little nervous: "I'm fine."

“…”

I couldn't speak for a moment, but immediately, I heard footsteps coming in from outside the stone wall.

When I looked up, the person who was slowly walking in the smoke and dust turned out to be Qinghan!

He commanded the man to break the stone wall and couldn't wait to walk in, his body was even stained with dust. However, when he reached out and waved the smoke and dust in front of him and saw the situation inside clearly, he was stunned.

"Qinghan?!"

I looked at him in surprise, and in a daze, I lowered my head again, only to find that I was still being held tightly by Pei Yuanhao.

I hurriedly pushed him away.

Pei Yuanhao was not angry. Even after being pushed by me, he barely stood firm. There was no more expression on his face. He just looked back at Qinghan, and Qinghan also looked at him. The two of them looked at each other, and there seemed to be something in their eyes fluctuating faintly, but I didn't care at all, so I hurried to him: "You, why are you here?"

“…”

He was silent for a moment, withdrew his eyes, and said, "I received the message you gave me, worried that something might happen to you, so I rushed over."

As he said that, he looked down at me: "Are you okay?"

"I--"

Just as I was about to say something, several people followed him. It was Du Yan and Cha Bixing who were outside before. Su Su couldn't wait to push away the person in front of me and hugged me tightly: "Miss! Miss, are you okay? I'm scared to death!"

I was staggered by her, but I could barely stop: "I'm fine."

Although I talked to her, my eyes never left Qinghan.

He also looked at me, but his eyes were already very calm, as if nothing had happened, and said, "Since nothing is wrong, then we'll--"

Before he could finish his words, I said, "Don't leave! My mother is still here!"

"Your mother?"

He looked at me in surprise: "Your mother is here?"

Everyone around them also showed a look of shock, but just when everyone was a little panicked, suddenly, Chabixing frowned and said, "Hmm?"

His voice made everyone look back at him and asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Chabixing looked up at us, or rather, at the secret door behind us. I thought he was going to say something, but the next moment, a very fear suddenly appeared in his eyes and he shouted: "Go away!"

Everyone was stunned. Before they could react, he had reached out and grabbed the people around him and retreated outside the stone wall.

"Go away! Go away!"

I turned around in panic, and at the moment when I turned around, a deafening loud noise came from the depths of the secret door. Then, the entire dam began to shake. The stone wall that had been knocked open by them shook again, and sand and gravel fell down one after another.

Pei Yuanhao also looked back and said loudly: "This place is going to collapse, go quickly, go quickly!"
