The weather in Death Lake is like that of a baby in confinement. It changes its face at every turn, giving almost no time to react.
Less than half a cup of tea had passed since the first thunder sounded, and big raindrops started falling from the top of the miasma.
Accompanied by lightning and thunder, the rain turned from light to heavy in the blink of an eye.
In the pouring rain, Ye Laizi and Yun Guobao were in a panic.
The inner and outer marshes of Death Lake are like the gap between heaven and earth.
The miasma-shrouded outer swamp is rich in water plants, pools and swamps, and it rains frequently.
It is precisely because of the abundant rainfall that the soil is moist, making it difficult to grow large trees and almost all of them are low trees.
Neize is different. It feels like spring all year round, with lush vegetation and almost all of the trees are towering giants. There was even an ancient sacred tree tens of thousands of feet high.
Ye Xiaochuan and Yun Qiyou were outside in the swamp. They couldn't find a big tree to take shelter from the rain. There were swamps and pools all around, and there wasn't even a half-foot-high earth slope.
Finally, the two drowned rats finally found a plant that looked like a banana tree.
Squatting under the leaves to avoid the wind and rain.
Yun Qiyou had just been seriously ill. She had a high fever this morning and was very weak. At this moment, she was caught in a heavy rain. Not only her cheeks but also her lips were white. She was hiding under the wind-dried leaves, huddled up and shivering.
trembling.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaochuan was very worried that Yun Qiyou's old illness would relapse. If he developed a high fever again, it would be dangerous.
So, Ye Xiaochuan supported the leaves and moved closer to Yun Qiyou, trying to shield her from the wind and rain.
Yun Qiyou felt Ye Xiaochuan approaching her, and she immediately moved to the side, as if she didn't want to get too close to Ye Xiaochuan.
Ye Xiaochuan thought to himself, his life is almost gone, why should he act like a young lady?
So, he approached Yun Qiyou again and moved a big leaf on his head towards Yun Qiyou's head.
Yun Qiyou glanced at Ye Xiaochuan, who had most of the leaves covering his head, while most of his body was exposed to the rain, and a warmth suddenly rose in her heart.
She did not hide away, but she also did not take the initiative to approach Ye Xiaochuan.
She was wondering how long Ye Xiaochuan could persist.
This storm came quickly but went away very slowly.
The heavy rain kept falling, and before he knew it, Ye Xiaochuan had covered all the leaves on Yun Qiyou's head, leaving him completely exposed to the wind and rain.
Yun Qiyou looked at Ye Xiaochuan and saw him closing his eyes and bearing the wind and rain for her. She seemed to understand why she liked Ye Xiaochuan back then and why she still missed this man despite losing her memory.
This man indeed has a charm that makes people want to get close to him.
Gradually, Yun Qiyou let down his guard and moved closer to Ye Xiaochuan.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier.
The bodies of the man and woman in that pair are getting closer and closer.
Not long ago, the two of them beat each other into a giant panda, a national treasure. Now, the estrangement between the two seems to have been blown away by this storm.
Perhaps because it was too cold, Yun Qiyou's head rested lightly on Ye Xiaochuan's shoulder.
The moment the two bodies came into contact, Ye Xiaochuan immediately felt Yun Qiyou's body trembling due to the cold.
Ye Xiaochuan opened his eyes and saw that Yun Qiyou's face was very pale.
Due to his weakness, a large leaf on top of Yun Qiyou's head that was supported by his hands also lost control and fell to the side.
Ye Xiaochuan was shocked.
Said: "You...you don't mind, right?"
Yun Qiyou knocked his head on Ye Xiaochuan's shoulder and shook it slightly.
He whispered: "I'm fine, I'm just a little cold."
If it had been before, Yun Qiyou would not have taken it seriously in the face of this storm.
But now Yunqiyou's eight meridians have been blocked, and he is like a cripple. He has just suffered a serious illness, and his body is very weak.
Ye Xiaochuan couldn't help but stretched out his hand and put his arm around Yun Qiyou's shoulders.
Yun Qiyou struggled for a moment, but soon softened.
To Yun Qiyou, Ye Xiaochuan's warm body was like a cold animal that had found a pile of flames. Yun Qiyou instinctively wanted to blend into this warmth.
Her body gradually blended into Ye Xiaochuan's arms, and finally she curled up in Ye Xiaochuan's arms like a cold cat.
Natural and harmonious.
For the two of them, there was nothing unexpected or awkward at all.
In the wind and rain, Ye Xiaochuan hugged the poor woman tightly with one hand and held up a big leaf with the other to protect her from the wind and rain.
It was just like the storm they encountered a few days ago when they came out of the swamp.
The difference is that the last time the wind and rain came, Ye Xiaochuan used their clothes to shield them from the wind and rain, but this time it was a big leaf growing on the tree.
There is one more difference.
Last time Yun Qiyou was in a coma.
This time, Yun Qiyou's consciousness was always there.
She lay in Ye Xiaochuan's arms, her cheek pressed against Ye Xiaochuan's bare chest.
She kept looking at the face of the man very close to her, listening to his heartbeat.
"You...you said I will die here?"
Yun Qiyou's voice slowly reached Ye Xiaochuan's ears.
Ye Xiaochuan looked down and saw that Yun Qiyou's eyes were blurred, thinking that her consciousness had begun to blur again and she was talking nonsense.
He said softly: "As long as I am here, you will not die. I will definitely bring you out of the dead lake. I, Ye Xiaochuan, have never broken my promise."
Yun Qiyou shook his head gently and said: "You broke your promise. You once told me that the two of us would be together for eternity and face the curse of seven generations of enemies together. Those three prison cows can testify, but you
I broke my promise, you don’t want me anymore, you’re with another woman.”
Ye Xiaochuan's body suddenly stiffened.
Yun Qiyou felt the changes in Ye Xiaochuan's body, and slowly stretched out his hands to hug Ye Xiaochuan.
She murmured: "I once thought that apart from my father, there would be no other man to protect Yun, a girl like me, who is suffering from a strange disease.
I used to think that except for my father, I would not care about any man in the world.
I found out I was wrong.
I can let go of my dignity, personality, and stubbornness, but no matter what, I can't let you go.
I thought I had forgotten everything, but in the end I discovered that I had not forgotten you.
Just lie to you, I don't care, as long as I am in your arms, even if I die, I will have no regrets.
Xiaochuan, hold me tight, I like the feeling of you holding me tight.
It makes me feel that I am not alone or pitiful in this world.
It can make me know that besides my father, there is still a man in this world who can hold me in his arms when I need him most."
Yun Qiyou murmured, gently rubbing her cheek against Ye Xiaochuan's chest.
Ye Xiaochuan was dumbfounded.
He found that Yun Qiyou's eyes were open, and he couldn't be sure whether Yun Qiyou was talking nonsense or the truth at this moment.
