Although men and women did not sit at the same table when they were seven years old, and they did not kiss each other, in order to rush on the road at this moment, Xiao Yan wrapped his robe around Xi Hui. The reputation of his daughter's family should not be neglected, and the two of them rode horses towards Jingzhou City.
They didn't stop along the way, and soon it was getting dusk. Xi Huixu's face turned pale because of the bumpy journey that day.
"It's getting late, let's find a place to rest in the forest, and we'll continue on our way at dawn tomorrow morning." Xi Hui didn't respond. The life in the boudoir all year round has made her physique quite weak, and the wind and sun are really a bit frail. Too much to take.
Xi Hui stretched out his slender hand, and Xiao Yan helped her get off the horse. He was about to collect firewood and let Xi Hui warm himself by the fire. Xi Hui called out to him, "Third brother, don't go..." The fear in her eyes didn't dissipate for a long time, and she pulled Xiao Yan's sleeve.
He nodded dullly and sat down beside her.
"We met by chance. I shouldn't ask more questions, but with your identity, how could you end up here? I'm afraid Master Xi doesn't know about it, right?" Xiao Yan looked at Xi Hui calmly.
The pearl is covered in dust, but it also has its own delicate look. Xi Hui murmured, "Third brother, have you ever heard of the theory of Feng Ming?"
He raised his eyebrows, "Could it be..."
"I don't know why, and our Xi family has no intention of climbing the dragon and clinging to the phoenix." She looked at Xiao Yan, her eyes were clear, and it was obvious that she was a woman with a rift in her heart. "Not long ago, there were rumors in the market that I was destined to be a phoenix, and the emperor was hanging on me. Pity, so many people wish for it, but I know very well that it is a cage that will be locked up by the palace wall for the rest of my life."
Xiao Yan said nothing and listened quietly to the woman's confession.
"Your Majesty summoned my father. In order to escape, I had to make Ji sick so that the Tian family could rest. Who could have expected that the partisan disputes in the court would still push me, a woman, to the forefront. Your Majesty would order people to come and inquire from time to time. My illness could not be concealed for a long time. I was also afraid that my father would be hated by the Heavenly Family for my fault, so I had no choice but to fake my death and sneak out of the house with my maid. The gold and silver treasures I brought with me were already there. I was intercepted by bandits on the mountain road. I originally wanted to go north to find my father's teacher and seek protection, but I never imagined that I had never traveled far alone. I was robbed by bandits and fled all the way. I took the wrong direction and ended up here. And then... You know it all." Her voice was soft, downplaying all the suffering, but Xiao Yan still read the Gujing Wubo in her eyes.
When life encounters great changes, not everyone can adapt to the changes. The world is difficult, let alone a frail woman, even more like a piece of duckweed. Even if she is a noble woman, she has all kinds of alternatives.
"At least, you still have family members who are willing to risk the world's injustice for you. For them, you have to live well." Xiao Yan couldn't help but admire the Xi family, the mainstay of the Southern Dynasty.
Xi Hui smiled lightly and chatted while the woman leaned against the tree trunk and fell asleep unconsciously. She was really tired. Xiao Yan knew that the most dangerous time was at night. He was not sure whether there would be another zombie attack, so he could only pick up some firewood wherever he could see it, ignite it, and sparks would rise. Sporadic fire points would scatter everywhere. He saw Looking at the beautiful woman sleeping soundly next to him, he remembered the young emperor's incompetence and ignorance again, thinking in his heart, with the same blood, why Liu Zhen'er is not so unreasonable, and I don't know how Brother Tao can be safe now Okay, where is the person?
He half-squinted his peach blossom eyes, and the unhealed wound on his body ached. He took off his shirt, took out the powder and sprinkled it on the wound. The burning sensation made him groan in pain.
About two hours later, Xi Hui fell into a deep sleep, as if disturbed by a nightmare. Cold sweat broke out on his temples, and he muttered two words in his sleep, "Caiwei... no... don't... I won't marry..." She His lips turned blue quickly, and his whole body curled up with some trembling, but he was not yet awake.
Xiao Yan shook Xi Hui, but she still couldn't wake up. His heart sank. Could it be that he was also poisoned by corpse poison?
"Miss Xi, I'm taking the liberty." After saying that, he looked at Xi Hui's limbs and explored the wounds. The girl's neck was as slender as jade. When she looked at her right shoulder, the cyan tooth marks left by the teeth had turned black due to corpse poison. Xiao Yan said that he was careless. He didn't expect this girl to be so determined and ride like this without saying a word. Traveled for a day.
Xi Hui made no sound at this time and was completely unconscious. For this plan, he urgently needed to help Xi Hui detoxify. Although he didn't know if it would be useful, he could only give it a try.
Xiao Yan quickly extinguished the bonfire, hugged Xi Hui's fragile body, got on his horse and looked for a hidden cave in the forest. They had to avoid encountering zombies tonight. If they could get on their way early tomorrow morning, they would be able to reach Jingzhou as soon as it gets dark. If there are still poisons left, there are famous doctors in Jingzhou city who might be able to save them.
This mountain forest is a shortcut from Jiankang to Jingzhou Prefecture. Originally there was no road, but as people walked more, paths in the forest were formed. Perhaps for this reason, when they went deep into the forest, they soon discovered a cave covered by layers of shade trees and vines.
Xiao Yan first took out the fire stick. The weak firelight shone in the dark forest and threw it suddenly into the cave. The fire danced in the darkness, illuminating the interior of the cave. No trace of the beast was found in the cave, so Xi Hui was settled in the cave.
The cave is extremely simple, with no extra furnishings. There are only moss on the stone walls and occasional drops of water. The place is filled with a moist atmosphere, as if it is the traces of time on the stone walls.
Xi Hui's face was still as pale as snow and bloodless. He carefully positioned Xi Hui, letting her lean against one side of the cave, while he also leaned against the stone wall on the other side, trying to shield her from the cold wind outside as much as possible. Xiao Yan looked at her silently, with complicated emotions flashing in his eyes. He bit his lower lip hard, as if trying to suppress the turbulence in his heart. Then, he said softly: "Miss Xi, I am here to save you. Nothing in this world is more important than life. If you intend to blame me after you wake up, Xiao will let you be punished!" His voice was low, as if pouring out from the bottom of his heart. feelings.
His hands were shaking slightly, but he still held the woman's waist firmly. After saying that, he seemed to have made up his mind and carefully took off the woman's clothes. The flawless beautiful jade in front of him made his throat dry and his eyes turbulent. His fingers inadvertently traced the woman's skin, which could be broken by a blow, and the skin was better than snow. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xi Hui again, his eyes reflecting the beauty of the woman. His heart beat even harder, he took out the water bag used for marching, put his mouth close to the wound on the woman's right shoulder, and sucked out the corpse poison one by one. Every suck made his heart beat, and he kept reminding himself that he was saving people. His eyes were fixed on Xi Hui's eyebrows, paying attention to her every change.
Watching the wound gradually turn from black to green, after inhaling the corpse poison, he rinsed his mouth with water several times. Even so, Xiao Yan's face began to turn pale, and his physical strength seemed to be exhausted. This was the only treatment he could do in the wild, but he was not sure whether she could fully recover, so he could only wait by the woman's side, not daring to take it lightly.
The pain gradually came over him, and he knew it was his body's protest against the long period of no rest and the recurrence of old injuries. Although he was very tired, looking at the woman lying on the ground who had not yet woken up, Xiao Yan forced himself to stay awake and alert.
After an unknown amount of time, he saw the slight twitch on her face and the frown on her eyebrows begin to relax. This was a reaction inside her body. Xi Hui's fingers moved slightly, then her elbows and knees. Xi Hui is gradually regaining consciousness.
Xiao Yan's heartbeat began to slow down and he felt relieved. He knew he had passed the dangerous threshold.
He had never worn clothes for a woman before. Seeing the complicated way of wearing them, he froze in place and thought about it for a long time. The woman's body fragrance was still spreading between the clothes, which made him even more uneasy.
After a long time, I only learned a rough idea. He carefully picked up the clothes and helped Xi Hui put them on one by one. The woman's body was as delicate as jade. His clumsy hands gently buttoned each button with meticulous movements. Finally, he worriedly covered the woman's body with his robe to ensure that she would not catch the cold. Although the two met by chance, it was the first time that Xiao Yan had such a close moment with a woman. An uncontrollable emotion exploded in his heart, and he could not calm down for a long time. He held Xi Hui's soft and slender jade fingers, and his tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he felt tired.
He was half leaning against the stone wall, and the jade-like face made him feel happy. A slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, as if he had found peace deep in his heart. Unknowingly, his consciousness gradually blurred and he fell into sleep.
*
Xi Hui's wound had not fully healed yet. She endured the pain and slowly opened her beautiful eyes. What caught the eye was the skylight reflected into the cave through the gaps in the tree branches. The morning light reflected Xiao Yan's handsome profile as he held her hand and fell asleep beside her. His face was pale and he was obviously extremely tired, but he still held her hand uneasily and guarded her.
The next second she looked around, then looked at her dress, thoughtfully...
The look in her eyes was complicated. As soon as Xiao Yang turned around to wake up, he saw the woman staring at him faintly. He then remembered what he had done at night, and all his sleepiness disappeared instantly. He wanted to explain, but Xi Hui spoke first, "I know you were trying to save me." Her voice was very low, and she was very shy.
Seeing that she believed him, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "Last night, I had no choice but to do so, but I...I haven't married yet. If Miss Xi is willing, I will act as a matchmaker and I will not let the girl know her innocence in vain!" "
Seeing that he was serious about his matter, Xi Hui was deeply touched. His pretty face turned red, and he gently leaned his head on Xiao Yan's shoulder, "It's such a fate. From now on, Hui Niang will rely on third brother."
Xiao Yan's heart warmed when he heard this. He put his arms around Xi Hui and looked at her affectionately, "Mother Hui, when we arrive in Jingzhou, I will write to the elders in the family and formally propose marriage to your family."
The two of them cuddled together quietly like this, letting the love grow and spread in their hearts like crazy, unable to help themselves. Xiao Yan finally kissed Xi Hui's eyebrows, and his eyelashes slowly moved down to the woman's lips. The breath was like orchid, making his heart beat faster. He moved his throat slightly and traced her outline carefully with his lips and tongue, then pried open his lips and teeth, sucked and entangled her, leaving a deep imprint on every place his tongue passed.
Xi Hui couldn't help but let out a soft hum, put his hands on his shoulders, and let him take whatever he wanted. Her heart was beating faster. It was a feeling she had never felt before, making it almost impossible for her to think.
Xiao Yan picked her up easily and called her vaguely, feeling extremely affectionate. His kiss was gentle, like the spring breeze blowing over the lake, or like the sweet summer rain, falling and blending into the earth.
Only the deep love between the two moved, echoing in the mountains and forests for a long time...
