Chapter 13 Yanjing
a long time.
Dong Se silently listened to the story of Bai Shu’s parents, but seemed even sadder than Bai Shu.
An unspeakable emotion spread in the carriage. Bai Shu couldn't stand the depression in the carriage, so he asked Dong Se carefully, "Why don't you talk anymore?"
"I'm thinking about things."
"What do you think?"
Dong Se bit his lips and thought for a while before saying, "The jade bones and ice muscles are gifted by Tian, and he is dedicated to Dao Jian Wushuang. Will a person like your mother be willing to stay in a small village with you for so many years?"
Dong Se couldn't figure it out, but Bai Shu just shook his head and said, "When you have a child in the future, maybe you will understand."
Dong Se looked at Bai Shu, coughed silently for a while, and said nothing.
Bai Shu suddenly realized why Dong Se was silent because Dong Se was in poor health. She had no chance to get married and have children, so she naturally would not understand this problem.
No matter how delicate Dong Se is, she will not understand what a mother's feelings for her children at such an age. What's more, Dong Se lost her mother since childhood and had never received her mother's care. She has no idea about such things.
Bai Shu quickly changed the subject and asked Dong Se, "Do you know Miao Li? Didn't you call him Uncle Miao before?"
Dong Se nodded and said, "Uncle Miao looks good on the surface, but in fact he has the most lives. Many people say he is a ruthless executioner."
"But Uncle Miao is very nice to me. During the period when I was locked up, Uncle Miao was not in Yanjing, otherwise I would be 80% sure that he would come to save me."
Bai Shu frowned slightly and asked, "Since he is cruel and ruthless, why do you still believe that he will save you?"
"I can't explain it clearly. In short, Uncle Miao is a very strange person. I guess no one except me will say good things about him. When my father was the sect leader, he did something shameful for my father. Now that Meng Zong is the sect leader, he is still doing those things, as if he doesn't care at all. Who is the sect leader of the Demon Sect?"
Bai Shu continued to ask, "Then is he doing good to you?"
Dong Se was stunned for a moment, turned his head and thought for a while before speaking, "It's Uncle Miao's look at me, it's very gentle, like my father's look at me, and sometimes even spoiled me more than my father. As long as I said I would do, Uncle Miao responded one by one and asked his subordinates to help me."
"Although Uncle Miao's men are all outlaws, they have one advantage, that is, their work efficiency and never talk much."
Bai Shu frowned and asked, "Does he know your mother?"
When Dong Se heard Bai Shu’s question, his face turned cold. He stuck out his hand, pinched Bai Shu’s waist and said, “What are you thinking?”
Bai Shu smiled awkwardly. He was quick-talking for a moment and ignored the cleverness of Dong Se. However, Dong Se said that Miao Li's eyes looked at her were as gentle as his father's eyes, which made people unable to help but associate.
Bai Shu was even more curious about Miao Li.
The wind was calm along the way, and another half month passed in a blink of an eye.
In the past half month, the closer we are to Yanjing, the colder the weather is. Dong Se's body is getting worse day by day. In the past half month, Dong Se has coughed blood three times.
"It's not a solution for you to continue like this. Even if you arrive in Yanjing, you can't save your master and you can't find your father."
Dong Se was speechless and didn't want to say a word, but just shrank his body and kept coughing.
Bai Shu sighed and said, "Why do I call my senior sister over and let her help you see."
When Dong Se heard this, she finally reacted. She supported herself and sat up, looked at Bai Shu and said, "That's your senior sister, not my senior sister. Why should I owe her? If you think I'm in trouble, you can leave too, don't quarrel in my ears."
After hearing Dong Se's words, Bai Shu knew that Dong Se's body must be very unhappy now, otherwise Dong Se would never have said such words.
"Okay, okay, I won't quarrel at you anymore. You should lie down and I'll feed you something."
Dong Se then lay down, but still pushed Bai Shu's hand away and was unwilling to eat anything. And Dong Se vomited all the things he had eaten before.
Bai Shu had never seen such a tormenting poison.
Dong Se slowed down for a while and said, "It's about three more days away to reach Yanjing. When I arrive in Yanjing, I naturally have a place to live, take medicine, and someone will help me with it. You don't have to worry."
Bai Shu had no choice but to make the fire in the car warmer.
At night, the two of them lived in the car. After more than a month of traveling along the way, they lived together for most of the time and had long been familiar with each other's breathing.
Tonight, Dong Se forced himself to cough and tried hard not to make any noise, for fear of disturbing Bai Shu.
Bai Shu suddenly got up and took the kettle from the fire, poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Dong Se and said, "Cough if you want to cough, don't bear it, drink some water first. If you feel sad and can't sleep, I'll talk to you for a while."
Dong Se took the water cup, took a sip of water, stared at Bai Shu and asked, "Why are you not asleep yet?"
Bai Shu shook his head and said, "I will go to bed when you go to bed."
When a person's body is the most fragile, his feelings are the most delicate.
Dong Se squinted his eyes and looked at Bai Shu, and suddenly said, "Do you feel pity for me?"
Bai Shu smiled bitterly and said, "I can't do anything for you."
Dong Se suddenly coughed so hard that Bai Shu hurried forward to pat Dong Se on the back.
"Bai Shu, I have drunk your blood. When I first left Lanxi, you carried me and walked all night. When you were in the cave, you and I ate the same dry food. You have actually made a lot for me. But when you left Yannan, why didn't you go with your senior sister?"
Bai Shu was a little silent, but Dong Se continued, "You look pretty good when you smile, but unfortunately I haven't seen you laugh much. When you look at me, you just keep frowning."
"So I didn't look in the mirror and I realized that I lost weight again. My face must be so white. I am no longer a little princess of the Demon Sect. I am a wasteful person who lives in vain. I can't even die as freely as Long Nuli. The more sympathy you have for me, the more wound I feel in my heart."
"I would have known you earlier."
As Dong Se talked, his consciousness gradually blurred. Not long after, he fell asleep, followed by an increase in body temperature, coughing and nonsense all night.
No girl who cherishes her appearance can be seen ashamed of anyone frowning at her frequently.
Dong Se sle slept for three days. During this period, she woke up once and said only one sentence, "Don't always think about looking for your senior sister. I don't want others to see what I am now."
Although Bai Shu was anxious, he had no choice but to thankfully, Yanjing City finally arrived.
This vast city standing proudly in the extreme north exudes a luxurious atmosphere in the wind and snow, as if it has always been like this for thousands of years.
Bai Shu's carriage entered the city without any obstruction. He entered Yanjing from the southern city gate, and the first person he saw was the Suzaku Avenue.
Xuanwu, Qinglong and White Tiger Avenue are located in the north, east and west of Yanjing. The most central location of Yanjing City is the Yanwang Palace, while the Demon Sect is located at the junction of Baihu Avenue and Xuanwu Avenue. The famous Yanbei Tower is located on Xuanwu Avenue.
According to Dong Se, Miao Li lived in a place called Sanli Lane in the west of the city.
Before his death, Ling Wen'er told Bai Shu to find Miao Li. Miao Li was a credible person to Bai Shu. Moreover, after hearing Dong Se's description, Bai Shu knew that Miao Li was good at Dong Se. He believed in Dong Se's judgment and prepared to take Dong Se to find Miao Li directly. He was the deputy leader of the Demon Sect. He always had some solutions to this Qianye Bai Lingzi, at least he would not be as helpless as Bai Shu.
The city of Yanjing was not allowed to ride a horse, so Bai Shu had to get off the carriage and lead the horse, asking all the way, and searching for Sanli Lane west of the city.
At this time, the city was bustling, but Bai Shu didn't have time to stop and watch.
When Bai Shu found Sanli Lane, it was already dusk. He drove his horse to the alley. Before he could enter the alley, he was blocked by two men in black.
One of the older men said, "Little brother, have you taken the wrong path? Do you want us brothers to help you point me in the way?"
When Bai Shu saw these two secret whistles, he realized that he had really gone to the right place. He immediately said, "I'll both brothers tell me, and I'll say that the son of an old friend asked to see Lord Miao Li."
