The wind and sand were very strong, making the already dark night even more turbid.
In an isolated town in the northwest, a man and a woman struggled to escape in the yellow sand. Not far behind them, a group of people held torches high and bit them. In the darkness, arrows flew across the yellow sand from time to time, shooting at the man and woman.
"Brother Qingchen! This way!"
The woman suddenly pulled the man next to her and hid in a dilapidated house.
With the darkness and yellow sand as cover, the two of them finally escaped the pursuers.
The sound of horse hooves and shouts gradually faded away, and the two people hiding in the yard breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
After a while, the wind stopped, and even the dark clouds in the sky dispersed. Through the moonlight, the two of them could clearly see everything in front of them.
The small courtyard is very dilapidated and does not look like it is inhabited by people. In fact, this lonely town was mostly empty. In the early years, a river passed by the town. At that time, the town was still very prosperous. Later, when the river stopped flowing and there was no water source, the town gradually became empty. After a few years, even the caravans no longer passed through the town.
Xu Qingchen looked over the low courtyard wall and confirmed that the pursuers had gone away. The archers hiding in the dark didn't seem to notice that they were hiding here, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Who would have thought that just as he felt lucky, Linghan beside him suddenly turned around and punched him in the abdomen.
Xu Qingchen felt pain and couldn't help but bend down.
"Do you know you will kill us?!" Linghan lectured Xu Qingchen loudly, regardless of the danger he had just escaped from, "Why are you so reckless?? Even if you want revenge! Don't you even want to take your own life? My life What?! Don’t want it anymore?!”
The beauty under the moon had an angry look on her face and was trembling with anger.
Xu Qingchen apologized and whispered: "I'm sorry...I was impulsive..."
Hearing his confession, Linghan's anger disappeared. She looked at Xu Qingchen with a distressed look on her face and said softly: "Didn't I tell you? We don't understand the situation yet, so don't take action easily. Who knows? You lose your mind when you see people. If you act like this, let alone avenge the Yao family, it would be better if you don't die yourself."
Xu Qingchen lowered his head and stopped talking.
Linghan knew in her heart that Xu Qingchen could not be entirely blamed for this, after all, anyone could still remain rational in that situation.
The two of them had been here for half a month, and the journey was dusty. After arriving, they began to investigate Qin Zhiyang non-stop.
Qin Zhiyang is not mysterious. He is very famous in the northwest. He lives in Suzhou and his house is very grand. The two of them hid in Suzhou for a few days, during which time they sneaked into Qin Zhiyang's home. Through the information collected from all parties, the two of them quickly determined one thing: the Yao family was wiped out, and it was indeed Qin Zhiyang who commissioned Ye Yu to kill the family. Built.
Xu Qingchen fell into anger after learning the news. The two of them originally wanted to explore Qin's house again tonight and find out how Qin Zhiyang lived before finding a way to take revenge. Who would have thought that as soon as the two of them entered Qin's house tonight, they saw Qin Zhiyang sitting in the yard drinking alone. Xu Qingchen couldn't hold back and went to kill him. Ling Han couldn't hold him back.
Who would have thought that Qin Zhiyang was not defenseless. He had many enemies, and there were people secretly guarding him at all times.
The guards were highly skilled in martial arts, and there were even some archers who were unable to see their tail. The two of them suffered a big loss, and relied on Ayana's experience to not give up.
After stumbling all the way out of Suzhou, I hid in this small town under the cover of night and yellow sand.
Only then did Linghan notice that Xu Qingchen's chest was red.
Ayana exclaimed: "Are you injured?"
Xu Qingchen looked down at his chest and replied, "It's okay, it was scratched by the arrow."
Linghan pulled Xu Qingchen into the house, blocked the doors and windows, and lit up a bonfire.
The room was empty, not even furniture. Fortunately, Ayahan had a lot of experience sleeping in the wilderness. He brought a blanket with him, found some hay, and spread the blanket on it, turning it into a simple mattress.
"sit down."
Linghan was still angry and her words were cold.
Xu Qingchen sat on the blanket obediently.
Ayamata
He took out the wound medicine from the package, turned around and unbuttoned Xu Qingchen's shirt.
Xu Qingchen opened his mouth and wanted to say: The injured place is not an awkward place, he can touch it with his hand, and the injury is not serious, it is just a cut on the skin, so he doesn't need anyone else to look at the injury, right?
But seeing Linghan's complaining expression, he had no choice but to shut up and accept Linghan's help in examining his injuries.
I soaked some water in a handkerchief to clean the wound, then applied wound medicine, and it was done. The wound was in the center of the chest, a diagonal cut, only as long as a finger. If the wound is too shallow, there is no need for suturing or even bandaging.
Ayana stared at the strong body in front of her. At this time, the anger in her heart was completely healed. She said in her heart: If you weren't so good-looking, I wouldn't have beaten you to death just now. It was reckless... But this chest is the same as last time. It seems to be a little stronger than that.
Of course Xu Qingchen noticed Linghan's piercing eyes. He cleared his throat awkwardly and slowly pulled up his clothes.
Linghan finally came back to her senses, raised her head and stared into Xu Qingchen's eyes: "Brother Qingchen, do you really want revenge?"
Xu Qingchen nodded: "I really couldn't help it at the time... Why is their only way to solve the problem is to kill people? Is there anything we can't talk about? Business is nothing more than who makes more and who makes less, it doesn't matter. It was discussed. Why? Besides, he found someone to kill the entire Yao family, how could he still live with peace of mind? I don’t understand."
Xu Qingchen's expression was very serious. People with an innocent heart cannot understand the dangers in the world and always think that everyone in this world is reasonable. Even though he had been in the world for a while, and even though he had seen the dangers in the world, he couldn't convince himself, couldn't accept these people's peace of mind, let alone forgive them.
A person like Qin Zhiyang could have a nice drink before going to bed and still look like he was at peace with his time, which made him very unhappy.
Linghan could see the sadness in Xu Qingchen's heart, and gradually understood his anger just now.
Linghan hugged Xu Qingchen, leaned her head against his chest, and said softly: "The more you can't understand, the more calm you have to be. You are so impulsive, and you can't accomplish anything. Now let's If you still have a chance, you have to promise me that you won’t do this again in the future.”
"Well... Ayagami, I'm sorry for asking you to follow me and take risks."
"I'm not afraid of dying with you, I'm afraid of not dying worth it. Do you understand?"
"I see."
"Hey...does it still hurt?"
Xu Qingchen shook his head: "It doesn't hurt. It's just a broken skin. Even if no medicine is applied, scabs will form in a while."
"I mean, did it hurt when I punched you?"
"pain."
Ayana straightened up and punched him again, but this time she didn't use much force.
This punch was not thrown casually, there was a reason.
Ayana kept feeling along the way: Did she stick too much?
He took the initiative to express his feelings and threw himself into her arms, but Xu Qingchen... couldn't be said to be unmoved. He accepted all Linghan's overtures, but he never took the initiative to do anything.
Starting from Tongguan, Linghan spent the night in his room. After that, Linghan would sneak into his room every night, trying her best to avoid Li Fenglan and others. Of course, this matter was exposed in the end and was discovered by Li Fenglan.
A girl takes the initiative to sleep with you every night. Even an eight-year-old child can understand this meaning. But Xu Qingchen was surprised to be able to do it: sleep with me? Okay, welcome. Then he gently held Ling in his arms and slept all night, never going too far.
There were a few days when Ayana even felt that she was unattractive? Or are you really fat?
She observed herself carefully while taking a shower, and was sure that she didn't have any extra fat on her body, and she was still so graceful.
So what's the problem? I heard my sister-in-law say before that some men are not attracted to women.
Is Xu Qingchen not such a man?
How else can we explain it? The meat is ready and brought to your mouth. You glance at it and pour it back into the pot. You
Are you really not hungry? Doesn’t that mean you don’t like eating meat?
Of course Xu Qingchen understood what Linghan meant. From the first night - not Tongguan, but the deserted village at the foot of Jingjimen Mountain, he had already understood Linghan's intention.
Ayahan's body usually looks thin and fragile, but the thick and soft touch coming from one side of her ribs every night cannot be deceived. For normal men, this is a form of torture called torture.
Who doesn't love eating meat? Isn’t the reason why you don’t eat it just because you want to save such delicious food for later?
A few years ago, Linghan traveled alone in the world and often slept in the wilderness, which made her develop the habit of falling asleep at any time, but sleeping very lightly. After taking care of Xu Qingchen's wounds, Linghan fell asleep soon. As usual, half of her body was pressed against Xu Qingchen, her head resting on his shoulder, and her hands and feet were like a golden monkey holding a tree trunk.
Xu Qingchen raised his head slightly and looked at Linghan's profile. She seemed. He slept soundly, occasionally murmuring in his sleep.
He gently stroked Ayana's hair, thinking about what happened during the day, and thinking about what to do next.
The campfire nearby was crackling, and the wood was almost burned out. He wanted to stretch out his hand to add firewood, but his movement was too big and he woke up the girl in his arms.
Ayana opened her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I'll add some firewood."
Linghan stood up and threw two pieces of firewood into the fire. The loose underwear fell down with gravity, and the neckline was rippling with spring light. Xu Qingchen turned his head hurriedly. Linghan saw Xu Qingchen's turned head and noticed her "indecentness".
She clenched her collar, with a look that was half shy and half angry. She turned over and lay down with her back to Xu Qingchen, taking away most of the blanket.
Xu Qingchen hurriedly explained: "I... didn't see it on purpose..."
Is that a matter of intentionality or not? That's obviously a question of whether you want to watch it or not.
If you don’t want to see it, don’t.
Linghan turned her back to him and remained motionless, as if she didn't hear what he said at all.
Xu Qingchen asked softly: "Are you angry?"
"No!"
Really angry.
"I'm sorry..."
Linghan murmured: "It looks like wood. I thought you were enlightened, but who knew it was still a lump of wood. If you put the meat in your mouth, you will spit it out."
