That was a woman wrapped in cloth. She was lame, and with an aura of despair, she attacked Su Dai like a gust of wind.
Everything happened in an instant. No one expected that the mountain that had been swept by elite soldiers would still be ambushing someone else, a woman——
"Adai!"
Shen Qingjue's eyes were about to burst. The moment Su Dai was pushed off the cliff, he rushed over to hug Su Dai without any hesitation, held her tightly in his arms, and rolled down the hillside.
The moment it fell, Su Dai saw the man's face clearly.
Skinny and sallow, full of signs of abuse.
But Su Dai immediately remembered her name - Song Xuewu!
"master!!"
"Your Highness—quick! Go and save people!"
Song Xuewu was forced to his knees, laughing like a madman.
"Hahahaha Su Dai, even if I die, I will drag you to hell with me!"
"ah!!"
The leading guard couldn't bear it anymore and cut off her arm with a knife.
Song Xuewu rolled on the ground holding her arms in pain, her eyes red, "Kill me, if you dare, kill me! Hahaha, I deserve to be buried with Su Dai and Shen Qingjue!! Uh-"
Yun Song stared at her coldly, his face completely lost the childishness of the past, "You can die, Master and Your Highness are blessed, they will live a long life, but as for you - if you want to die, it's not that easy!
" He strode towards the direction where Su Dai and the others fell, and said: "Detain her temporarily, and then deal with her after the master is rescued!"
"Letting her die like this would be too easy for her! Watch her carefully and don't let her kill herself!"
Song Xuewu's distorted smile froze on her face. She opened her mouth as if she had bitten off her tongue and committed suicide, but her mouth was tightly gagged with a piece of rag, and then her whole body was tied up.
"Uh huh no!!!"
She would rather die like this. With the characters of those two people, if they come back alive, she will definitely be worse off than dead!
It's a pity that she is controlled by others, so she can no longer make the decision in everything.
-
Su Dai woke up here and found herself shaking, and vaguely heard the sound of horse hooves tapping.
She's in the carriage -
"Well……"
Just as she was about to get up, her whole body went limp, and Su Dai fell back heavily.
"Are you awake? How are you? Where else do you feel uncomfortable?"
In the dim carriage, Su Dai didn't even notice the presence of another person. It wasn't until she heard a voice that she raised her eyes in a daze, "Shen Qingjue?"
"Drink some water first."
A glass of warm water was handed to Su Dai's lips. Su Dai's throat was so dry that her voice was hoarse. There was no nonsense. With Shen Qingjue's hand, she drank the water in one breath and regained some strength.
.
But her whole body still felt uncomfortable. Although she didn't feel any obvious pain in her limbs, she was groggy and had a severe fever.
"Where are we going?"
"Imperial Capital."
Shen Qingjue took back the tea cup. Under the dim light, it was difficult to see his expression clearly.
"Imperial Capital?" Su Dai was startled and was about to sit up immediately, but was pushed back down again by a big hand.
The man's voice was gentle, "Be good, do you want to scare me to death? It's too dangerous outside, I'll take you back."
"But refugees—"
"It's almost taken care of. I've left some manpower behind. I'll take care of everything. Don't worry."
"You..." Su Dai's brain was in a daze, and she always felt that she had missed some important information. The words came to her lips, but she forgot them again before she could ask them.
Shen Qingjue gently hugged her into his arms, placing his big palm on her back to comfort her gently, "Be good, go to sleep if you want. I'm with you for everything, don't worry."
The man's gentle voice turned into a jar of fine wine, and Su Dai fell asleep in his arms without knowing it.
When I woke up again, I was given a bowl of medicine.
After eating something simple, Su Dai fell asleep again.
The first day, the second day, the third day...
Su Dai could realize that something was wrong, but she was still in poor spirits.
On this day, Shen Qingjue wanted to feed her medicine again. Su Dai turned her head and dodged away. She pursed her white lips and stared at Shen Qingjue's face in the dim carriage filled with the strong smell of medicine.
"Shen Qingjue, what kind of medicine is this?"
Shen Qingjue paused and smiled, "It's just an ordinary tonic. Have you forgotten that you fell off the cliff that day?"
He handed the medicine to Su Dai and said, "Don't lose your temper. Drink it first. I'll give you candied fruit later, okay?"
Su Dai couldn't bear it anymore. She had already smelled the names of some medicinal materials in the soup.
"Shen Qingjue, do you think I'm a fool?"
Shen Qingjue was silent.
"I've got the disease, haven't I?"
The man's hand holding the soup waved, and although he quickly covered it up, it still didn't escape Su Dai's eyes.
She sat up with half-supported body, raised her hand and gave Shen Qingjue a slap in the face.
It was just that she had been ill for many days and had no strength left in her body. Even that slap was light and airy, not like hitting but more like touching.
Su Dai's hand fell weakly, and was held by Shen Qingjue the moment it fell.
"Don't be angry. I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just a minor illness. As long as you take the medicine, you will get better."
"If you want to hit me, it's not too late to wait until you get better, huh? I will never fight back."
Su Dai wanted to withdraw her hand, but Shen Qingjue held it tightly.
She stared with burning red eyes, "Shen Qingjue, is this what I'm talking about?"
"I'm infected with the epidemic. You know that I'm infected with the epidemic. So what are you doing? Staying in the same carriage with me every day, you don't want to die, right?"
Even if she wanted to drive Shen Qingjue away now, she might be too late.
Shen Qingjue let her scold him, chuckled lightly, raised his head and drank the cold bowl of soup.
Passing the bowl out, he said calmly: "Send another bowl."
"Shen Qingjue!"
Seeing his understatement, Su Dai became very angry.
Shen Qingjue was silent for a moment, and amidst Su Dai's anger, he quietly said, "Su Dai, I'm very worried about you."
"Then you can't-"
"I can."
Shen Qingjue interrupted her, "I promised that I will live and die with you, and I will never abandon you at any time. We have not had contact with other people along the way, and we are walking on remote roads, so we will not be infected.
To others. After all, no matter life or death, I will always be with you."
Su Dai was shocked by the hot emotion hidden in his flat tone. After a while, she uttered, "Shen Qingjue, you are really a lunatic."
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to scare you."
Shen Qingjue's tone was sincere.
Su Dai was so angry that he made her angry. Thinking about her own situation, Shen Qingjue would definitely not be any better than her, but every time she woke up, this man would ask her what she needed very considerately.
It was as if whenever she opened her eyes, the other party would ensure that Su Dai could see him immediately.
This person——
"madman."
Su Dai's eyes were red, and she grabbed the man's collar with her weak hands and kissed him fiercely.
Both of them were in bad condition, and their breath was so hot that it seemed to ignite the air.
Shen Qingjue's eyebrows relaxed, and he allowed the little woman in his arms to bite his lips like a furious little beast, and the smell of blood filled his entire mouth...
