Chapter 51: Coming
"Ah......h
In an instant, the original warmth under the moon was broken, He Zhi withdrew his hand, and Wei Lai frowned slightly. It's rare that both of them unconsciously have a feeling called chagrin in their hearts.
"Little ...... Miss, there are a lot of dead people......" Xi Qiu trembled his voice and moved softly to He Zhi's side. Seeing He Zhi looking back with a little displeasure, she stretched out a finger and pointed to the courtyard tremblingly, her little face was still white, as if she was going to cry in the next second.
He Zhi's heart trembled when she heard this, and she didn't care about complaining about Xi Qiu's fuss anymore - although she had been prepared in her heart, it was the first time for her to face such a real bloody ...... Looking in the direction that Xi Qiu was pointing, He Zhi's face couldn't help but turn pale, and then she quickly looked away. But Rao was like this, and his snort was already filled with the smell of blood in the air.
Wei Lai is not a careless person, seeing He Zhi's expression, he immediately took a step forward and blocked the sight of the two, and then hurriedly explained: "Jinrui rest assured, no one died, but he was injured and fainted temporarily." ”
The courtyard is still the same yard, the blood is still so bloody, and those people who are lying on the ground and don't know whether they are alive or dead are still lying on the ground covered in blood. But Wei Lai's sentence of "still alive" was really effective, at least after He Zhi and Xi Qiu heard it, although they were still uncomfortable with the bloody blood all over the ground, they were obviously relieved, and they were not as frightened as before.
In a few breaths, He Zhi had already regained her composure. Of course, when she turned around, she still subconsciously avoided the bloodshed of the courtyard, and only fell on Wei Lai's white face. It was also at this time that the shrewdness and calmness of the past returned, and she finally remembered the danger before, and couldn't help but look people up and down, and asked, "Wei Lai, are you okay?" ”
Wei Lai smiled, shook his head and said, "It's just a rabble, what can it do?" After speaking, seeing He Zhi's eyes fall on his blood-stained clothes, he added: "Don't worry, Jinrui, I'm fine, it's all their blood." ”
He Zhi only pursed her lips when she heard this, but when she withdrew her gaze, she glared at her. Wei Laizheng felt inexplicable, so he saw He Zhi suddenly step forward and reached out to hold her hand: "It's all other people's blood, so what is this?" ”
The soft softness covered Wei Lai's blood-stained hands, which made people's hearts beat for no reason. However, Miss He at this moment was obviously very strict, and Wei Lai's slightly deviated thinking was also pulled back by that sentence in an instant.
She looked down at the left hand that was held by He Zhi, because the left hand did not need to hold a knife and did not affect the fight, so it was not until this moment that she realized that the original hand had been scratched by someone at some point. The wound was not deep, it was just a shallow cut, and the bleeding had almost stopped at this moment, which was not worth mentioning at all in Wei's opinion, but He Zhi's eyesight was good, and he could see it with the little light in the room.
"It's just a small injury, I didn't pay attention to it, and it's not in the way." Wei Lai smiled nonchalantly, and then changed the topic: "Although the people in this courtyard are not dead, they can't just hang it out, and if they wait, the blood will have to drain." This group of people should be here, so let the few people in the house come out and clean up, and we will set off early tomorrow morning, and send these people to the official by the way. ”
Wei Lai didn't really care about the life and death of these people, although she was not a person who killed indiscriminately, but seven years of battlefield in Northern Xinjiang was enough for her to take life and death lightly. It's just that He Zhi is different from her, Miss He is a serious lady raised in the boudoir, where will she see this? Therefore, for the sake of this thoughtfulness towards He Zhi, Wei Lai would rather trouble someone to put people down and then send them to the official.
But it's a pity that General Xiao Wei's thoughtfulness was not appreciated by another party. Seeing Wei Lai's indifferent look about the injury, He Zhi didn't know why she was a little angry in her heart, so she rarely lost her temper, and the hand that she was holding lightly suddenly used force, and it was pressing on the wound on the back of Wei Lai's hand.
There is a warm, sticky liquid soaked in the palms. He Zhi came back to her senses almost the moment her inexplicable temper came out, but unfortunately it was still a little late, and the wound on the back of Wei Lai's hand that had stopped bleeding gave her blood again. But Rao was like this, Wei Lai didn't take her hand back, and her hand didn't even move.
He Zhi looked up, but saw that the other party was still the same gentle smile as before, and he didn't even blink his eyes, as if the wound that had just been injured twice was not on her at all. It was only at this time that He Zhi believed that Wei Lai probably hadn't noticed the injury on his hand before. It's just that after believing it, I feel a little distressed.
"Your hands are like this, and you're still laughing!" He Zhi let go of Wei Lai's hand, but pulled her sleeve and pulled the person into the room, and the person who has always been demure and calm muttered a rare sentence, and I don't know whether to blame Wei Lai for not caring for his body more, or because he was annoyed that he had done more before.
"It's fine." Wei Lai was still smiling, she really didn't care, whether it was this small wound or He Zhi's inexplicable little temper just now, it was just a trivial matter. Just watched He Zhi take out a handkerchief from her arms to bandage her wound, but her eyes couldn't help but soften a little.
*****************************************************************
On the evening of the second day, Wei Lai and his party stayed at the Fulai Inn in Liujia Town.
They set off early this morning, and they didn't directly bring that group of burdens to the town to send off the officials, but just tied them up in the house, and then notified the officers and soldiers in the town to arrest them. But even so, it was delayed for a long time, and then it was too late to set off again, and it was inevitable that they would sleep in the wilderness again if they insisted on setting off, but after last night's events, they had a little more worries about this overnight or camping, so the group simply delayed in this town for half a day.
This Liujia Town is just an ordinary town, and there is nothing special worth seeing. Coupled with the fatigue of the journey, and the toss last night, Wei Lai and the others didn't rest well, so the delayed half a day of work was simply used to recuperate.
After a good night's sleep, it was not until the sky was dark and the meal had passed, and several people gathered in the lobby of the Fulai Inn hungry.
"After three or five days, you should go to Qizhou, right?" Halfway through eating, He Zhi suddenly asked.
Wei Lai's chopsticks, which were about to pick up vegetables, paused slightly, then nodded and said, "We will leave tomorrow morning, and we will arrive in three days at the previous speed." After a slight pause, he couldn't help but sigh: "There have been a lot of rights and wrongs along the way, and it's finally coming." ”
He Zhi didn't feel so emotionally when she heard this, she just glanced at Wei Lai with a smile: "Wei Lai's hometown is coming, I have come all the way with you, but I am waiting for you to do your best as a landlord." ”
This sounds like nothing wrong, but I don't know if it's an illusion, Wei Lai always felt that He Zhi's tone seemed to be a little different when he said the words "friendship of landlords".
