Once again, I looked at the man in front of me with admiration. It seemed that he didn't have a good mind and didn't value his life at all!
"Okay, just stay here peacefully. I'll go find him if you want."
Chen Si helped Bai Lan to lie down again, and he was about to get up and go out to take a look. He had no choice but to let a seriously injured person go, right?
He had just taken a few steps when a man shouted: "Brother, please stay!"
Chen Si looked back with some doubts, and saw an unfamiliar man driving a donkey cart towards them. It seemed that he was here to find them.
"You guys come with me quickly. I know your friend named Cheng Ye. He said you are here. The village is quite far away from here. If you leave now, you can get there before dark." Fat Hu saw that he had found someone. Yes, he said happily.
Cheng Ye?
Chen Si thought about it for a while and roughly guessed that Cheng Ye should be Xu Ye's pseudonym, so this person was the one Xu Ye came to rescue them.
"I also have a good friend who was seriously injured. I asked this little brother to lend his hand and help me lift him into the car." Chen Si turned around and prepared to pick Bai Lan out of the ruined temple.
Fat Tiger agreed without thinking. He laughed honestly, raised his heels and walked in behind Chen Si. There was dust everywhere in this ruined temple, and the weeds were growing very high. A man was lying on the ground. On the haystack, his face was pale, and he had an indistinguishable beauty.
The young man's eyes were bright. He lay half-lying and listened to Chen Si's words. Then he nodded and asked Chen Si to get dressed for him.
Fat Tiger was stunned without realizing it. It wasn't until Chen Si reminded him that he suddenly came back to his senses.
Bai Lan nodded slightly, "I'm sorry to bother you."
Fat Tiger squatted down and helped the young man stand up slowly. When he heard this, his ears suddenly turned red and he almost fell top-heavy. When he realized what he was doing, he touched his nose guiltily.
The young man was too beautiful, more beautiful than anyone he had ever seen since he was born, so it was understandable that he was a little embarrassed.
Chen Si and Fat Hu each lifted Bai Lan up and walked towards the donkey cart with difficulty.
After waiting, Fat Tiger felt a little disgusted. How could such a good-looking young man make such a dilapidated donkey cart?
But Chen Si and Bai Lan didn't show any dislike at all, and even their expressions didn't change at all. Bai Lan covered the wound on his abdomen and weakly thanked him.
Fat Tiger rubbed his head shyly and smiled honestly, then happily went to drive the donkey.
Although Fat Tiger was worried about Bai Lan's wounds along the way, he slowed down and dared to eat too much. But the carriage was still bumpy.
Cold sweat broke out on the young man's forehead. He breathed in air-conditioning quietly to relieve the pain in his abdomen. Chen Si leaned over and held him in his arms. Bai Lan struggled for a moment and then stopped moving.
With Chen Si acting as a cushion for him, he finally felt more comfortable.
It was almost dark when they arrived in the village. Fat Hu sent them directly to Zhang Qiuhua's house. Xu Ye was in the bedroom reading a collection of poems that Zhang's father had pulled out for him from under the table. When he heard the sound, he ran out to read it.
"Sir!" Bai Lan pushed Chen Si away and said excitedly.
Chen Si looked at Bai Lan in confusion, and then realized that he was being disliked. He climbed down from the donkey cart resignedly and ignored the place where he was going to live.
"You are finally here. Dinner is already prepared. You can eat directly after cleaning it up." Mother Zhang walked out of the kitchen and said with a smile.
"Aunt, it turns out you live here now." Bai Lan said in surprise after seeing Zhang's mother.
"Xiaolan, I didn't expect that the friend Xiaoye was talking about was you," Zhang's mother also laughed, and frowned again when she looked at the seriously injured boy, "Why are you so seriously injured!"
"Zhang Daniu! Come here quickly, Xiaolan is here! He's still injured, help him in with me!" Bai Xia turned around and shouted to the house, and an old man walked out of it.
They carried Bai Lan down in a hurry, but Xu Ye and Chen Si were idle aside. They looked at each other in shock. Unexpectedly, they found Bai Lan's aunt's house by chance.
"You're... quite a coincidence." Chen Si patted his shoulder and said meaningfully.
"I didn't expect that either."
During dinner, they learned the specific situation. In fact, Zhang's mother's full name was Bai Xia, and she was the biological sister of Bai Lan's mother. However, the two sisters gradually lost contact after they got married. Later, Bai Lan's mother died in an accident. Bai Lan started working with Xu Ye, so they didn't see each other for a long time.
It was a coincidence that Xu Ye found Aunt Bai Lan's house this time. Bai Xia was very happy and thanked Xu Ye again and again, saying that he gave her the opportunity to meet her nephew.
"No wonder that man is so good-looking. It turns out it's because he is Qiuhua's cousin." Fat Tiger felt that he had glimpsed something extraordinary. He touched his chin thoughtfully and murmured in a low voice.
Chen Si was starving. He ate the pork vermicelli in a big gulp. The food he had dismissed in the past seemed particularly tempting and delicious. Zhang Qiuhua watched him eat with a smile, and from time to time she would give him some meat with chopsticks.
"Thank you, thank you. Girl, I can just do it myself. Don't worry about me." Chen Si chewed up the food in his mouth and swallowed it, and declined.
"I'll just watch you eat, Si Lang."
Zhang Qiuhua had taken a liking to Chen Si as soon as he walked in. Although his face was dirty and his clothes were in tatters, she could tell at a glance that he was not an ordinary person and must be the son of a rich family.
Moreover, Chen Si looks good, eats well, and enjoys everything he does. This is the person she wants to marry.
Chen Si had no idea that he was being targeted. He only focused on the bowl of rice in front of him and ignored everything else around him.
Xu Ye did see some clues, but he couldn't get involved in this affair.
The three of them had been recuperating in the Zhang family for a few days. The night before they left, Xu Ye used Qinggong to leave on the pretext of having something to do. Chen Si looked at the back of him as he left and knew that he most likely went to the palace just to Go meet that woman.
They were going on this trip with an uncertain future. Xu Ye was probably going to see them for the last time, so he didn't stop them much.
Cheng Xi was sleeping and felt the chill. She turned over with a groan and pulled the quilt over to cover her arms. Seeing this, Xu Ye gently closed the window and then turned back.
[Sister, the villain is coming. ] Little Snowball looked anxious and couldn't help but whisper a reminder.
Now that the villain is here, there is no need for my sister to look for him anymore.
Cheng Xi suddenly opened his eyes and stared straight at the beam without saying a word.
Xu Ye was frightened by her and thought she was having a nightmare, so he cautiously called out "Xixi".
"Um."
"Why did you wake up suddenly?" Xu Ye continued to ask after seeing that she could speak.
Cheng Xi didn't speak for a long time. When Xu Ye thought she fell asleep again, she suddenly sat up.
"Xu Ye, why are you here?" Cheng Xi couldn't believe his eyes. He really said that Cao Cao had arrived. "After the defeat, I was worried about you. How is it? Is everything okay?"
"The current situation is good. We have found the remaining subordinates and are preparing to launch a second uprising. The return date has not been determined. I don't know when we will see you next time." Xu Ye's eyes were very gentle as he said his final farewell.
Cheng Xi has not found any bugs in the plot so far. If Xu Ye wants to launch a second uprising, she cannot be sure whether the villain will fail again. There are too many uncertain factors.
She could be supportive last time, but this time she doesn't have the courage to support him. If something happens to the villain, her mission will be over.
"The second uprising is so hasty," Cheng Xi moved his lips and said hesitantly, "Should we make more preparations?"
"I must revolt, and I must succeed. I have no way out, Xixi." Xu Ye looked at her seriously and said every word.
Cheng Xi suddenly couldn't say any words of rejection. Her mind was very confused and the room was very dark. With the moonlight coming in from outside, she stood up and lit the candle, and Xu Ye finally saw Cheng Xi's appearance clearly.
Because she had just woken up, her long hair was a little messy, and there was still water in her eyes. Just the look she gave her made Xu Ye feel her heart beat faster and her breathing intensify.
