After saying this, Xiao Erlang felt that the pressure of the man in front of him became colder and colder, like an ice cube.

He was a little helpless: "Am I okay now?"

Zhou Yue's tone was very calm: "The condition for agreeing to take you out was that the journey would be safe and sound. You promised me."

"Now, you are risking your life."

Xiao Erlang coughed a few times: "Seventeen years ago, didn't you also play with your life? Zhou Yue, you are allowed to gamble with your life, but I am not allowed to do this. There is no such reason."

Zhou Yue turned around and walked to the stove without saying a word. He leaned over and brought the stove closer to the bed. Then he took a hot hand stove and put it into Xiao Erlang's hand beside the bed.

Xiao Erlang pointed to the bed and asked him to sit down.

Zhou Yue didn't move and said calmly: "It's not worth it."

"So what's worth it?"

"Go back to the Xiao family. The Xiao family has famous doctors and countless precious medicines, which will at least allow you to live to old age."

"What about you?"

"..."

Xiao Erlang laughed, but the smile on his face was very light, "You didn't tell me how the Zhuo family treated you back then, wouldn't I ask? After all, you still have two years left."

Zhou Yue suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Erlang, with obvious surprise in his eyes.

Xiao Erlang said lightly: "You got into trouble because you were doing it for me, and I have to take responsibility. To be honest, do you think that in today's world, even the old man of the Zhuo family can't heal you, so no one can heal you? But

No. My aunt's medical skills are actually not inferior to those of Mr. Zhuo. Since she was able to save my third brother and me, I believe she can also save you."

Zhou Yue was silent for a moment, "She is no longer alive."

Xiao Erlang shook his head; "No, my father only received my aunt's suicide note and never saw my aunt's body. If my aunt is dead, why has my father been looking for her all these years? Why did the elder brother go to the capital to become an official for a few clues? Three

Why should I come to Ruyang and live here for many years?"

"I have never stopped searching. Many years have passed before I found out that the person living in Jinling may know my aunt. How could I give up?"

"But you..."

Zhou Yue frowned and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xiao Erlang.

"Now that the third brother is back, he will shock those old foxes in Guanzhong. Nothing will happen to me if I am not here. Furthermore, do you think that father, eldest brother and third brother really don't know that I am out? You have never been away from me, and you are not even in the Xiao family

Now, will I still be here?”

Xiao Erlang looked at Zhou Yue: "I have never left the Xiao family. Now I have finally come out. I want to do something to relax, but you also want to restrain me?"

His eyes were as clear as autumn water, like moonlight, making people feel soft.

Zhou Yue: "...You don't call it relaxing your mind, you call it relaxing your life."

Xiao Erlang covered his face with his hands and coughed weakly a few times. Zhou Yue's brows furrowed even more as he watched. He wanted to reach out but stopped.

"If you want to achieve anything, you must pay a corresponding price. If I want that person to tell me the whereabouts of my aunt, I naturally have to use some method that can make him nod. Don't you understand this principle?" Xiao Erlang said.

Zhou Yue said coldly: "I don't understand."

Xiao Erlang sighed in a low voice: "You don't understand, then do you understand that I am about to die of pain now?"

"..."

"At this time, you still want to argue with me? Are you angry with me? Zhou Yue, you are so cruel."

"..."

Xiao Erlang raised his eyes to look at him, and after a moment he laughed, "If you're not angry anymore, take off your mask. It's just you and me here, and I want to see you."

"The mask is so ugly, I'm not in a good mood to recover from my illness just looking at it." Zhou Yue heard Xiao Erlang complain.

Zhou Yue's heart shrank severely.

He thought that he was about to die, and he would die from the soft knife in front of him without any blood, and then he would be defeated and unable to resist.

The man sighed softly, put his knuckled hands on the mask, and slowly took it off.

A handsome and angular face was revealed.

Xiao Erlang's eyes were fixed on his face.

After a long while, he said: "Follow that little girl on the way to Jinling. Wear the mask and don't take it off."

"Well, okay." Zhou Yue heard himself say this.

…

the other side.

After Lin Xi left, she went back to the room and changed her clothes. When she was disposing of the old clothes, Zhuo Minghe happened to come over.

Zhuo Minghe said that he had prepared a carriage for Lin Xi and was ready to go at any time.

Lin Xi thanked him.

Zhuo Minghe asked curiously: "Lin Xi, what did my second uncle say to you?"

Lin Xi said truthfully: "He asked me to help him take a letter to Jinling, where he knows someone."

"Do you know anyone in Jinling?" Zhuo Minghe was surprised. "My second uncle has never left home before. How come he knows someone in Jinling City in the south?"

"I don't know about that."

Lin Xi saw that Zhuo Minghe was really puzzled and sympathized: "It seems that you don't understand a lot about your second uncle."

Zhuo Minghe frowned and thought, then quickly raised his eyebrows and said: "It's okay, I can just ask Uncle Zhou later. He knows my second uncle's thoughts best. If my second uncle needs help with anything, I can help him. Otherwise,

It’s so pitiful that my second uncle is alone here.”

The corner of Lin Xi's mouth twitched. She didn't see anything pitiable about Mr. Xiao.

He was obviously very forceful and didn't give her a chance to refuse.

Forget it, he was Zhuo Minghe's uncle after all, and since Zhuo Minghe and she were friends... She would charge this account to Zhuo Minghe later and make up for it.

Lin Xi stayed in Zhuangzi until very late, and also went around to inspect various places to see the protective measures taken by people in Zhuangzi, and the protective medicinal soup they drank every day, slightly improved it, and then returned to the room.

As expected, there was already an extra sealed letter on her desk.

Lin Xi stuffed the bag into the bag, carried it to Zhuo Minghe, and asked to leave.

Zhuo Minghe said: "Then I will send you out of Ping County. It is too dangerous for a girl like you to walk at night."

"Isn't there Zhou Ke that you lent me?" Lin Xi said.

Zhuo Minghe said solemnly: "There is Zhou Ke, there is Zhou Ke, it is different from me sending you away. In the future, I can give Brother Shen an explanation."

Lin Xi couldn't figure out what to explain.

But Zhuo Minghe had good intentions, and Lin Xi did not refuse.

So the group of people left at night and went on their way. In order to get to Peixian County as quickly as possible, Lin Xi thought about it again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and gave up the carriage and asked for a horse to pull the carriage instead.

The horse's coat is shiny, tall and majestic, and it looks like a good horse at first glance.

Zhuo Minghe was surprised by this: "Lin Xi, can you ride a horse?"

"Of course."

Lin Xi was an equestrian expert before crossing here.

As the saying goes, it is always better to learn more than having too many foreign skills.

This will come in handy.

Lin Xi gallantly jumped on his horse, flicked his whip, and rode ahead without hesitation.

Zhuo Minghe and Zhou Ke were both shocked and followed suit.

When they arrived outside the boundaries of Ping County, Zhuo Minghe told Zhou Ke: "You must protect my sister Lin Xi. If she loses a hair, I will not let you go when you come back!"

"yes!"
