Chapter 16: Lost contact
Hovis did not return for a long time, and the book he left clearly told them that they would return in three days. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But Hovis is gone, and it's been the sixth day. At first, Edith was able to calm down and persuade Lindsay not to be in a hurry and to trust Hovis. However, after a long time, even he couldn't persuade himself, and he became worried with Lindsay.
Lindsay kept walking around the room, and Edith looked at Lindsay walking around and couldn't help but say, "I know you're in a hurry, but you're turning around like this, it's almost dizzying." Sit down and rest, and wait for the day, if Hovis doesn't come back, we'll go get him back. ”
"Is there any news from the imperial capital?"
Edith shook her head: "Lindsay, you're too anxious. Imagine that this is the border, and the fast horses of my own soldiers will not be able to go back and forth in the next few days. Waiting......"
Lindsay gritted her teeth, anxiety made it impossible for her to calm down, unable to think. A heart is messy......
The city lord didn't dare to appear in front of Lindsay and Edith after they had a nose on their side. Just told Lindsay every day that the innkeeper where they were staying must give the best hospitality, and Lindsay told them to keep their identities secret, they didn't want to be too ostentatious.
The city gates were still tightly closed, and the refugees who had fled were all running into walls at the gates. Every day, there are groups of refugees who come to the city gate to negotiate with the city gate guards, Lindsay sees this, feels sorry for them on the one hand, on the other hand, is also very worried, if these refugees are really let in, then once a person in Sinoe City is infected with the plague, then it will really be a large-scale disaster.
At this moment, Lindsay felt that there was a difference between himself who had this kind of thinking and this selfish old city lord who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
Death, she is not afraid. But she was afraid that it would affect the people of the city...... If only Hovis were here at this time. In this way, you can also listen to the advice of this ace imperial doctor......
However, he is not there, and his life and death are still uncertain, let alone where he is now. No news......
After a few more times, Lindsay still didn't expect Hovis to appear. Waiting for it, it was indeed an unexpected person......
When the visitor stood in front of Lindsay, Lindsay couldn't believe his eyes. Just stared at him blankly......
"You ......" for a long time before Lindsay squeezed out such a word.
"I'm coming." The visitor smiled and bowed slightly to Lindsay and Edith.
"Dick?!" Edith looked at Dick's incredulous words, and Dick stood in front of the two of them in a dusty manner: "The information guard here has already helped the guard who conveyed the message to the imperial city, and I believe that the news will be transmitted back in a few days." ”
"Edith, let people prepare meals! Dick, be hungry! ”
Edith nodded and walked out the door, and Lindsay pulled Dick over and looked him up and down, "Dick, why did you suddenly appear in Sino City!?" Now the surroundings of Sino City, including this city, are not safe, why are you still running here since you got the news?! ”
Dick shook his head: "Since you left, I have sent the guards to each town to inquire about your news, and when you entered the border, the guards spread the news to every town where the guards are handled. I left for this place early because I wasn't worried, and I learned that you had arrived at Cyno. ”
"Dick!" Lindsey hugged Dick's waist, and Dick hugged Lindsay tightly and kissed her on the top of the head.
"Your encounter with Usain Bolt has been picked up by the Secret Guards...... That's why I can't hold my breath. Still, I'm relieved to see that you're safe and sound. ”
Lindsay let go of his hand and sighed: "No one thought that this kind of thing happened, and Isel also paid the price for it." ”
"Isel? What happened to him? Dick looked at the dark circles under Lindsay's eyes distressedly, and Lindsay sighed helplessly: "Disfigured by Amos." ”
Dick's body trembled slightly: "Sure enough, no one can offend Ling Baiyi...... Next time, don't leave me alone to wait, okay...... After I learned the news, I was worried every day, and I didn't dare to delay for a moment on the road, for fear that you would be in danger...... I only listen to you once, and next time, no matter what you say, I will not leave you. ”
Lindsay nodded: "Okay...... Take a break and eat something for a while. Dick, you shouldn't actually be here...... There is danger here at any time, and although it is not a war, this time it is more terrible than war. ”
"That's why I'm here, I've missed it once, and this time, I'm going to be with you, no matter what the danger! Even if I die, I'm going to die by your side......"
"Dick!" Lindsay hurriedly covered Dick's lips and looked at him disapprovingly: "No one is allowed to die, no one is allowed to leave me!" I've lost Fasel, and I can't afford to lose you! All live well! ”
Dick's eyes were filled with a gentle smile, and he nodded, he took Lindsay's hand and landed a gentle kiss on her palm: "Lindsay, what's wrong with you?" It feels like you're worried about something! ”
At the mention of this, Lindsay immediately looked sad: "It's Hovis!" ”
"Imperial Doctor? Did something happen to him? ”
Edith pushed the door in, followed by two guards, walked in with a plate, looked at the two and said, "Wait and tell me what to say, Dick will eat first, and talk while eating!" ”
The three of them sat around the dining table, Lindsay and Edith were drinking, and Dick looked at the two of them after eating: "What happened to the Imperial Doctor?" ”
"I'll show you this!" Lindsay huffed and slapped Hovis's book on the table, and Dick looked at Edith across from her, who shook her head slightly. Dick picked up the letter and looked at it, he frowned: "Could it be that the Imperial Physician went to the epidemic area alone?!" ”
"Well, I said that I would come back in three days, but after that, it has been more than ten days. Lindsay tried to go out of town several times to find Hovis, but he didn't know where Hovis was going or where. Several small villages and several small towns around the current Sino City have become dead cities because of the ravages of the plague, and Hovis wanted to go before, but was stopped by us. But no one expected that Hovis would sneak away by himself, and there would be no news as soon as he went! ”
It was Edith who answered Dick, and Lindsay was already angry and didn't want to mention it. Dick put down the letter: "I ......"
"You are not allowed to go anywhere !! you" With a bang, Lindsey slapped the table. Edith also said: "Hovis was like this before, Dick, we know that you want to go out of the city to find out the news, but now in this extraordinary period, in order not to let Lindsay worry about you, you still have to protect Lindsay's safety in the city~ We have other things to ask you to guard." ”
Dick looked at Lindsay, who was looking at Lindsay, who gritted her back molars and said, "Don't go anywhere!" ”
"Okay, I got it! So, I'll do what I can ......" (To be continued. )
