The road back to Lining went against wind and water, and the disaster the Ji family caused at Du'ankou made the situation in Songzhou, which was already heavily guarded by troops, even more serious. Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie decided to bypass Songzhou and walk along the ancient ancient road in the east. Xia Shanshan went to Guangzhuo first.
Both of them were very good at running in the wild. They chose roads that avoided roads and waterways, and either took them through mountains that covered the plains, or through long forests that had not been visited for a long time.
We talked very little along the way, mostly communicating. Once we stopped to rest, we had a tacit understanding to divide the work.
Xia Zhaoyi took care of the injured tiger in the forest, or made a fire to boil water to make soup.
Shen Lie is responsible for hunting, climbing mountains and rivers, and is very skilled.
Lin Zhonghu imitated Xia Zhaoyi's technique of building wooden frames, and occasionally made fires together, or went to chop wood and chop firewood.
Five days later, a torrential rain blocked their way. Xia Zhaoyi found a dilapidated temple in the middle of the mountain in advance, just enough to rest for a night.
The heavy rain filled the sky and wild fields, raising huge tidal mist. After the tiger in the forest cleaned up the horses, he couldn't help but stop at the door when he came back, looking up at the falling rain in the sky.
Thick dark clouds were floating in the sky, and the darkness spread toward the horizon. From time to time, lightning tore through the sky, but there was not even a sound of thunder.
A gust of wind blew outside the eaves, but since it was a leeward slope, it had no effect on him. He was still feeling refreshed despite such a heavy rainstorm.
The tiger in the forest sighed softly, secretly thinking that this girl is really a wonderful person.
There was some movement behind him, and Lin Zhonghu turned around, only to see the girl leaning against the dilapidated altar, her eyes closed. Shen Lie was gently lifting her up, protecting her head with one hand to prevent her from knocking on the corner of the altar.
Lin Zhonghu said nothing, watching Shen Lie help her onto the soft blanket on the ground, and gently cover her with his coat, before saying, "You two handsome men and beauties are really well suited for each other."
Shen Lie paused slightly and raised his eyes.
A pair of dark eyes that show no emotion or anger, even after being together for several days, still makes Lin Zhonghu unable to guess.
But inexplicably, Lin Zhonghu was surprisingly courageous today.
"You, you like this girl Xia," Lin Zhonghu said again, "but you dare not say it."
Shen Lie was silent for a moment and said coldly: "What does it have to do with you?"
"Miss Xia also likes you," Lin Zhonghu continued without fear of death, "but she does not like you as a man and a woman. If you don't tell her, she will always regard you as a friend. If this continues, what will you do?"
"..."
"I don't even dare to touch her even when she is asleep. I stay out of sight of her and peek at her every now and then. Do you know that there are many heroes in the world, and how many people would like a beauty as smart and smart as her?" Lin Zhonghu said again. .
Shen Lie withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes to look at the sleeping girl.
Her breathing was shallow, her face was plump and plump, beautiful and fair, she had a small slap face, her eyebrows were stretched, she must have slept well.
Shen Lie had never thought about how many people would like her, but he knew that in her previous life, when she was famous all over the world, the people who loved her were like the crucian carp crossing the river.
She deserved it, she deserved it, no matter her past life or this life, Shen Lie didn't feel any sourness. It was ridiculous and bizarre for her, who was as bright as a star, not to be loved and pursued by others.
As for him, he naturally wants to be her lover, if...she is willing to fall in love.
It was extremely difficult for Shen Lie to imagine that she would fall in love one day. Perhaps she was too unworldly and pure, even if he put her in the softest place in his heart, never forgetting her and thinking about her day and night. , but he couldn't even imagine the scene of holding hands with her in this world, talking about the end of the world.
This unparalleled girl in the world, what she has in mind is the wild world, not the love in the world.
The heavy eyes unconsciously became gentle. After realizing, he turned away his eyes. This was inappropriate.
"...If you don't dare to say it, I can help you test it," Lin Zhonghu said in a low voice, "We are all men, I understand you."
"You talk a bit too much," Shen Lie looked at him coldly, "Have you forgotten who you are?"
"You, you really don't know who is good or bad." Lin Zhonghu said.
Shen Lie said no more, stood up and walked out.
Along the eaves corridor of the ancient temple, Shen Lie stopped under the eaves.
The field of view is extremely broad. In the distance, in the Tianjiang River, a long stretch of company camp is spread out on the horizon.
That was Guangzhuo's Zhuyuan Camp. Like Qiuyu Camp and Keishi Camp, before the military reform of the Daping Dynasty, they were all Han Shenying camps under the command of King Xunping Jin Hongkang.
Compared to Qiu Yu Camp and Deishi Camp, the one that truly retains the main force of the Han Shen Camp is the Zhu Yuan Camp.
Shen Lie was not surprised to see them here.
But this time they were just passing by. After the weather cleared, they would go northwest and avoid Guangzhui far away, so they would not go there.
Shen Lie's face was calm and calm, his black eyes were deep and distant, and he looked quietly at the barracks in the misty rain. The evening wind carried the rain and fell on him, making him feel cold and chilly.
Xia Zhaoyi only slept for about an hour. After waking up and taking a moment, Lin Zhonghu pointed outside and whispered to her that Shen Lie had been standing outside.
Xia Zhaoyi went out, and the young man's tall figure stood in the dim sky. Just looking at his back, one could tell that he was very worried.
"Shen Lie." Xia Zhaoyi said.
Shen Lie paused for a moment, turned around, saw her thin figure, and hurriedly came over and said, "You just woke up, it will be cold when you come out."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled, looked towards where he was looking just now, walked over and said, "What are you looking at?"
There were cold clouds overhead, and the company camp at the end of the sky was ablaze with lights.
Xia Zhaoyi nodded and said: "Because of Guang Zhui's incident with the Ji family, those aristocratic families may not have a good time."
"The same goes for Qiu Yuying," Shen Lie said.
Thinking of Deputy Lieutenant Lin, he looked sideways at Xia Zhaoyi.
Xia Zhaoyi also remembered this and turned to look at him.
Their eyes met, and a smile appeared in Xia Zhaoyi's eyes: "Looking at your expression, you already know that the death of Deputy Lieutenant Lin from Qiuyu Camp is related to me."
Shen Lie also smiled and looked into her dark, watery eyes: "Yeah."
"I was the one who killed him," Xia Zhaoyi looked back into the distance and sighed. "The Ji family is so useless that he let him swing the knife at his own family. If I hadn't gone, those female relatives might have been killed." Kill them all."
"Perhaps for these aristocratic families, some so-called family members can be sacrificed." Shen Lie said lightly.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled, did not answer, and stretched out his hand to catch the rain falling from the eaves.
The rain fell on her slender fingers in an orderly manner, and the ticking sound could be heard clearly, but the scene seemed to be quiet.
"Ah Li, it will be cold." Shen Lie said.
"Li Shi has always wanted to kill me," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "From now on, Song Zhiyi's people will always be chasing you, and Li Shi and Song Zhiyi are incompatible with each other, and they are incompatible with each other. You see, really These are troubled times."
Shen Lie turned to look at her jade-like delicate profile and said seriously: "Ah Li, where do you aim?"
