385 Sealing Herself
He Xu, who was about to say something, opened his mouth but didn’t say anything in the end.
Qin Xi took out Ice Soul Silver Needles and pierced it into Li Mei’s acupoint. Seeing this, everyone gasped. Even Gao Huiren’s eyes widened.
The silver needle emitted a faint cold light that was especially terrifying under the spotlight. Everyone’s hearts tightened and they did not dare to breathe loudly, afraid that they would disturb Qin Xi.
Li Mei fell into a dream.
In her era, marriages were mostly arranged and the couple couldn’t get to see each other before marriage. It was not until the two of them entered the bridal chamber that they met for the first time.
Just like that, Lu Shi and Li Mei got together. Although Lu Shi was taciturn, he doted on Li Mei very much. Although Li Mei was a little shy, as his wife, she took care of him wholeheartedly and his parents.
That day, when Li Mei realized that she was pregnant, she immediately went to tell Lu Shi the good news. Unexpectedly, that day, the gentle old cow suddenly went crazy and hit her father-in-law. There was a bloody hole in his thigh. She was so frightened that she almost fainted. She staggered to call the villagers for help. Later on, the old cow was stopped by the villagers. Some experienced people said that the old cow had eaten a kind of mushroom and was delirious.
The old man was seriously ill and they did not have the money to pay for a doctor. The burden on the family became heavier. Li Mei had no choice but to hide the fact that she was pregnant. She had to take care of her father-in-law and work in the fields. She was overfatigued, which led to a miscarriage. Her father-in-law blamed himself so much that he jumped into the river to commit suicide. The old lady was afraid of becoming a burden to her son, so she ended her life too.
In the blink of an eye, the family was destroyed.
Fortunately, Lu Shi was a responsible man. He knew that his wife had suffered a lot for this family and treated her twice as well. Two years later, they had another child, Lu Chuan.
In order to let the mother and son live a good life, Lu Shi chose to become a miner.
The day before the coal mine collapsed, Li Mei asked Lu Shi to quit his job. Although this job was profitable, it was also dangerous. Li Mei did not want Lu Shi to be in danger, so Lu Shi readily agreed.
However, time could not be reversed, and there was no medicine for regret in the world. Lu Shi still died.
Li Mei felt that the sky was about to collapse. She wanted to cry, but not a single tear could come out. After the funeral was over, her mind completely turned black, and her consciousness collapsed at that moment.
In other words, her heart was dead.
She sealed herself in the black world. There, Lu Shi was still looking at her with a smile. “Mei, you should go back. Our son can’t live without his mother. I’ll wait for you here, forever…”
