His voice was cold, but his tone was slightly trembling. The words spoken in this way were like the frost and snow covering the wilderness on a winter night.
Sure enough it was him.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said softly: "Shen Lie, long time no see."
There was a gust of night wind, and the dusty clouds seemed to be blown away. The moonlight illuminated the clear sky, and the girl's graceful figure condensed into a painting painted over time.
It was only a short moment, just seven words, but Shen Lie felt as if something was in his ears and on the tip of his heart.
Humanity should not be frightened by lovesickness, because melancholy disturbs the mind. When lovesickness is provoked, the cold and rain will turn into violent waves. But if the lovesickness changes and meets each other, it will be like soft green and smoke.
Shen Lie curved his lips and smiled, a thousand words came to his lips, but he said again: "Ah Li."
"Do you know each other?" the big man said.
Xia Zhaoyi glanced at him with a smile, her tone became brisk, and she said to Shen Lie: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's go first. Du Xuan is not here, he is safe."
"...Okay." Shen Lie nodded.

Mr. Liuhe didn't sleep well all day and night.
It was already dark outside, and the evening breeze was blowing against the banana leaves in the courtyard. He held his chin up and looked at the window sash, remembering where he got those books.
Although Duke Ding's mansion was in ruins, his old friend's children were still there, and he didn't want them to misunderstand him at all.
What's more, these books are really unacceptable.
The text in the book and his painting skills clearly show that the author is extremely talented.
How could such a talented person write such evil and sinister things!
Did he really buy it? Where did he buy it?
Suddenly there was a soft knock on the door outside.
Mr. Liu He paused and looked out.
Not outside the yard, but outside his house.
"Uncle Liu!" the girl's crisp cry sounded in a low voice.
"Ali!"
Mr. Liu He stood up quickly and quickly walked over to open the door.
A strong fishy smell hit his nostrils. Mr. Liu He frowned and saw at a glance among the three men in black from head to toe, the big man who was bleeding.
Without asking any more questions, Mr. Liu He took a step back and said, "Come in first!"
Mr. Liuhe likes to collect books, so the library is a separate house in his courtyard, and there is also a side hall in it.
Shen Lie helped the big man to the soft couch. Mr. Liu He filled a small basin of water and asked Xia Zhaoyi to get the medicine box.
An extra lamp was lit in the room. Under the warm yellow candlelight, the wounds on the big man's ribs were extremely ferocious. They were not caused by swords or arrows.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at Mr. Liu He's neat technique, withdrew his gaze, and looked sideways at Shen Lie beside him: "Go and wash your hands in the courtyard."
Shen Lie looked at her, his reaction seemed to be slow, and he nodded: "...Hmm."
The big man groaned very low due to pain on the bed. Xia Zhaoyi walked over and whispered: "Uncle Liu, do you have any clean clothes in your house that are suitable for my friend?"
"Yes," Mr. Liu He said without raising his head, "Yong'er's clothes are still there. They are in the cabinet in his house. They are all clean. You can choose them at will."
"Okay, thank you Uncle Liu." Xia Zhaoyi said.
There are many flowers and medicinal fragrances in the yard, and there is an ancient bluestone well among the clusters of flowers.
Shen Lie fetched water, washed his hands, and took off the gauze on his face.
This small courtyard is located in a remote place, surrounded by cicadas and birds, it is elegant and quiet. Looking at the shadow of the moonlight falling, it is like a dream.
There were footsteps behind him, Shen Lie turned around, and his heartbeat started to beat again after it had calmed down.
Xia Zhaoyi held a set of clean clothes in his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu He has the habit of preparing hot water, which is just right for you to take a bath."
"Well," Shen Lie nodded, paused, and then said, "You wash first, I'm not in a hurry."
"I'll go first. I'll go see if Uncle Liu needs my help. I may need to boil some medicine."
"……good."
Shen Lie took the clothes. There was a very elegant fragrance of flowers on the clothes. He looked up and saw the girl turning to leave. Shen Lie hurriedly said: "Ah Li."
"Huh?" Xia Zhaoyi turned around.
Shen Lie looked at her clear and bright eyes and said in a low voice: "Do you want to keep wearing the cloth on your face?"
"..."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled and raised his hand to take off the cloth: "I forgot."
The girl's fully elongated facial features are very charming, the bridge of her nose has become higher, her lips are brighter red, and on Qishang Saixue's face, a pair of watery eyes are like the most attractive charm in the world.
Due to his outstanding appearance, Shen Lie has always hated appearance since he was a child. He never likes to comment on other people's beauty or ugliness. No matter how beautiful a girl is in front of him, he doesn't look at her differently.
This was the first time that Shen Lie experienced the four words of being astonished.
But he knew clearly that it was not because of this delicate appearance, but because of this flower-like appearance, it was her.
"Ah Li has become more beautiful." Shen Lie said.
"They all said so," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "Du Xuan, Brother Dai, and the young master of the Ji family are all in Lining right now."
"Did you save Du Xuan?"
"Well," Xia Zhaoyi nodded, "It's a long story. You go take a shower first, and I'll tell you slowly."
"good."
Xia Zhaoyi turned around and walked into the room, then paused, turned around, met the young man's eyes that were still looking at her, and smiled: "Shen Lie, you look better too."
"..."
Shen Lie tried his best to maintain his composure, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Well, I understand."
After the girl entered the room, a smile immediately appeared on his handsome face.
He lowered his head and pursed his lips. Unable to hold back, he simply smiled brightly and wildly.
only……
Wait, he blinked, and he answered something.
What does it mean, he knows?
·
The big man almost fainted from the pain, but there was too much necrotic flesh around the wound.
Mr. Liu He has already used some anesthetics, but these will take effect for a while, and now there is no other way but to grit his teeth and endure it.
Xia Zhaoyi boiled the medicine, came back and sat aside, holding her cheek. She looked at it for a long time, but she couldn't help. Finally, she casually picked up a few medicine bottles and smelled the fragrance of the medicine in the bottles.
Looking up, she saw Mr. Liu He looking back at her for the first time, looking like he was hesitating to speak. Xia Zhaoyi said, "What does Uncle Liu want to ask?"
"My dear nephew," Mr. Liu He whispered, "the city has been in a storm these past two days, but does it have anything to do with you?"
Xia Zhaoyi thought for a moment and said, "It should, it doesn't matter."
"should?"
"Yeah, but I don't know if it has anything to do with them."
"He?" Mr. Liu He pointed to the big man on the bed.
"Yeah." Xia Zhaoyi nodded.
"Aren't you and them the same group?" Mr. Liu He said.
"That one outside is my old friend. As for this," Xia Zhaoyi looked at the big man and said, "What's your name?"
Mr. Liuhe opened his eyes wide: "You don't know what his name is?"
"unknown."
The big man was sweating profusely and panting: "Thank you very much, girl, for saving me. My name is Lin Zhonghu."
