Li Jiahe was woken up by the wind. She rubbed her eyes and sat up. She found that she was lying on the ruins of the county government office just now. She didn't know if she had caught a cold. She felt sore all over when she moved a little. She got up from the ground using her hands and feet. , before she could stand up straight, she suddenly remembered something.
Where's Wilder?
I didn't seem to see him last night.
Her heart dropped, and she staggered towards Huaide's room.
At this time, the Linshui County government office can be described as "shabby", and Huaide's room was especially miserable. Without caring about any etiquette, she kicked open the door that was stuck by the wall, because With her movement, half of the already shaky wall collapsed.
"oops."
She seemed to hear a scream, and followed the sound towards the house. Before she could get closer, she saw the bricks in front of her move violently, and then, a pair of trembling hands stretched out from the gap. Although it was covered with It's bruised, but it's not hard to see how slender it was originally.
She hurried over to dig bricks and called in a low voice: "Emperor, Emperor? Is that you?"
In fact, there is no need to ask more. The extent of the shaking of this hand just now was exactly the same as when Huaide was begging for food in Canghai County.
After working hard to dig out the person, Li Jiahe finally breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she see that Huaide was covered in dirt and his face had been scratched in several places. However, despite this, the osmanthus cake in his other hand was still there. Didn't throw it away.
He spat on the ground and asked Li Jiahe: "What happened just now?"
Li Jiahe pretended to be stupid: "This happened as soon as I entered the house. Emperor, are you okay? Last night..."
I had to hold back the rest of my words.
Some pictures suddenly flashed before my eyes. Last night, the person in front of me stood quietly in the river, like a god coming to the world. His body was covered with spots of light. The power of coercion filled the space between heaven and earth. He was surrounded by invisible walls and was airtight. It feels so suffocating.
"What happened last night?" Wilder asked while patting the ashes on his body.
"Last night, you...are you okay?"
Huaide raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly: "Xiaocao, you underestimate me too much. I can still bear a mere beating."
"ah?"
Li Jiahe failed to manage his expression. He was beaten last night?
"Have you forgotten? Last night Wang Liu Mazi and his men came to demolish the house, and you were beaten by them because you blocked it. How could I see that you were wronged, so I rushed over immediately."
"Then what?" Li Jiahe still couldn't think of anything else.
"Then I opened my eyes and it's now. Because I was really hungry, I just found some edible osmanthus cakes from the cellar. Do you want some to try?"
Li Jiahe: "..."
She rubbed her temples, and for a moment she seemed to see the scene where she was beaten to the ground last night, with Huaide protecting her in front of her. The old and new scenes were intertwined, and it felt like her head was going to explode.
It looked like a storm was coming outside, and the house in front of her was smashed to pieces. When the wind blew, her head hurt even more.
"Emperor, Shuijun is going to take the exam soon. The county government office can't accommodate anyone right now. Why don't we go to Canghai County to stay away for a few days?"
During this period, she did make some money by selling Huaide's appearance. Otherwise, she could only suggest going to Linshui Mountain to find out if there is a natural cave that can shelter two people from wind and rain. Bad luck, if the cave can only To accommodate one person, she would have to live in the rain for several days.
Huaide nodded, "But I have a request."
"You say."
"Let's take a detour."
Li Jiahe pursed her lips. She knew why he wanted to take a detour. She thought of the piece of candy and her stomach began to feel uncomfortable again.
After simply packing up her things and taking all her belongings with her, she carried a small baggage with Huaide and set out on the road lightly. When she went out, she met Wang Liu Mazi and others who were coming down from the mountain.
The other party had a "really unlucky" expression on his face. Only the bastard Zhao Xiaoer smiled crookedly and said in a frivolous tone: "Hey, where are you, the county magistrate, taking your wife?"
Wang Liu Mazi glanced at him and told him to shut up. He was also disgusted with Zhao Xiaoer's virtue.
Wang Liu Mazi said: "Last night was a lesson to you. Remember, we people in Linshui County are not something you can provoke casually."
When he was talking, Li Jiahe specifically observed his expression. She originally thought she could see fear, fear and other emotions on the other person's face, but no, Wang Liu Mazi had no other emotions except disgust in his eyes. If
The scene she saw last night was real, so Wang Liu Mazi must have seen it too. He couldn't have reacted like this.
Maybe she really had a dream last night, but why the hell did she dream about Huaide? Just because she accepted bribes from his crushes and promised them to take good care of him, so she thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night?
The conversation ended with a cold look from Wang Liu Mazi and others. Perhaps because he had just been beaten last night, Huaide did not quarrel with them this time.
Suicune's exam is about to take place, and heavy rain is coming at any time. Rushing is the only way to save his life.
"You two stay here."
Not far away, Li Jiahe heard someone calling them from behind. When he turned around, he saw that it was Niu Er. He was holding something in his hand and trotted after him.
After seeing Li Jiahe, he paused in his steps and distanced himself from her with a complicated expression.
He cleared his throat uncomfortably and said, "I didn't expect them to attack the county government. After all, this happened because of me. I'm here today to make amends for you."
As he said that, he put the things he was carrying into Huaide's hands, "I don't know what you are going to do, and I don't know if you will come back in the future. This is a cake baked by my wife. You can take it with you, no matter what.
How about this? I beg you, for the sake of this bread, please don’t embarrass Linshui County."
Niu Er was not very knowledgeable, and he was a tall and thick man. It was very difficult for him to finish these words, and he looked very embarrassed.
Li Jiahe originally knew that the people in Linshui County were united, but at that time it was only a superficial understanding. When this man who usually looked at her with stern expressions came to show his goodwill for his fellow villagers, "unity" came into being.
The words already had concrete images in her mind.
After bidding farewell to Niu Er, Li Jiahe asked Huaide: "Emperor, do you think this heavy rain will wash down their house? What if they are also homeless?"
Huaide was tearing up the biscuits and stuffing them into his mouth. The weather was a little cold, and his mouth was filled with steam as he spoke, "Some houses are built to fall down, and some houses fall down to be rebuilt."
Li Jiahe nodded.
Can't understand.
Before it got completely dark, the two of them finally crossed the border of Canghai County. According to Huaide's wishes, he wanted to find a high-end inn to relax, but unfortunately all his belongings were in the hands of Li Jiahe, and she couldn't bite him to death.
With a sufficient budget, Huaide couldn't do anything to her.
He couldn't afford to stay in a high-end hotel, but he couldn't just find one to wrong him. After all, if he took the benefits of his crush, he had to be at least decent in all aspects.
The two of them found a decent inn, and when they went up the steps, they caught up with the waiter coming out to close the door.
After seeing the two of them, he warmly welcomed them, "It's a coincidence that these two distinguished guests have arrived. If you were a step later, the shop wouldn't be able to accommodate them."
Li Jiahe was curious and asked: "Why not entertain?"
This inn doesn't look very grand, but I didn't expect it to be quite small.
"Your Excellency, look at the weather outside, and see if there are any other restaurants open on this street?"
Li Jiahe looked outside cooperatively.
She was in a hurry just now, so she didn't notice the color of the sky. After being reminded, she realized that the already gloomy sky was now so dark that she couldn't even see her fingers. The strong wind was rolling in the dark clouds, like an invisible whip lashing the cotton.
Above, the air already carries the smell of earthy moisture.
It seems that Suicune is finally getting an upgrade.
The waiter closed the door and came over to entertain them.
"You two distinguished guests are really lucky. There is just one room left in the shop. Please take it."
"One, one room?"
Li Jiahe was surprised.
"Dear guest, the weather has been like this these days. Many distinguished guests are afraid to continue their journey. A room is now hard to come by. Besides, you husband..."
"Thank you." Wade interrupted.
Passing by the lobby, there were still some used plates and bowls on the tables, as well as leftovers that had not yet been cleared away. It seemed that there were many people eating just now, and the waiter's words were indeed reliable.
Entering the room, Li Jiahe took the initiative and said very sensibly: "Emperor, you must be tired after walking for so long. I will leave the bed for you. I can sleep on this small couch."
Huaide glanced at the small couch covered with a thin quilt and hesitated for the first time. He said, "It's been cold these days. It must be very cold at night, right?"
Li Jiahe felt as if she was suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, and Wilder's casual concern moved her to tears.
Without waiting for her to answer, she saw him walking to the small couch and looking at it for a while, then rolled up all the mattresses on it and put them on the bed.
"It shouldn't be cold now."
Li Jiahe: "..."
I don’t know if it was because it was the first time she slept with a man, but Li Jiahe slept very uneasily. In the middle of the night, there was a sudden thunder outside, and the sound seemed to hit her ears. She woke up with a start, and when she got up, she was still covered with blood.
Can't stop shaking.
A gust of wind happened to pour in from the window, and scattered raindrops even hit her face. She looked at the window.
The white window screen was blown by the wind and danced in strange arcs in the night. Behind the window screen, there was a figure sitting, as straight as a pine tree, but submerged in the wind and rain.
"Emperor?"
She was startled and hurriedly got up and walked towards the window. When she got off the ground, she realized that she had fallen asleep on the bed at some point.
"Emperor?"
When she came closer, she called out softly again, but Huaide had no response.
There was another thunder explosion outside, and lightning instantly illuminated the sky. When there was only a trace of light left in the lightning, Li Jiahe discovered that Huaide's body was emitting strange light spots again.
She dared to touch his shoulder, and found that he was as cold as a piece of thousand-year-old ice, and his body seemed to be frozen stiff. She swallowed, and shook his shoulder slightly harder.
"Emperor, emperor?"
Suddenly, the silvery-gray light spots on his body quickly spread to her, and the frost eroded her whole body in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, the silver light bloomed in front of her eyes, and the biting cold enveloped her. Her upper and lower teeth were chattering with the cold, and her body gradually froze.
There was a layer of ice, and the last bit of warmth in her chest was wrapped in the ice. She opened her eyes wide and was no longer conscious. This chapter has been completed!
