CHAPTER XIX

87_87272After Su Jiming said this, the air in the courtyard seemed to freeze, and the real cold scraped everyone's skin, except for Xiwu, almost everyone shivered together.

Xiwu's gaze fell calmly on Su Jiming's body: "Death? He took a step closer to Su Jiming, and the brass ring on the scepter made a crisp sound. No way, I know. ”

Su Jiming swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and said in a dumb voice: "He's dead...... I watched him die with my own eyes, you give up......"

Xi Wu's eyes sharpened, wanting to see through his veil: "You, who are you?" ”

His aura was too strong, and people were afraid to retreat, Su Yan had the courage to block in front of Su Jiming, but he couldn't stop bumping his upper and lower teeth, making a gurgling sound.

"Childe, run away!"

It was a real oppression, Su Jiming didn't know whether Xi Wu was manipulating the wind or the cold, the wound on his chest was about to burst, and instinct drove him to turn around and want to escape.

But how did he escape? As soon as Xi Wu's body moved, he instantly forced in front of him, perhaps because he said that Tianya was dead and made Xi Wu angry, Xi Wu strangled Su Jiming's neck with one hand, and at the same time, a harsh wind struck, blowing away the straw hat that Su Jiming used to cover.

In an instant, the two pairs of eyes met without any obstruction.

At the same time that Xi Wu's hand touched Su Jiming's neck, it was also the same time that Su Jiming's painful expression crashed into his eyes. His fingers instantly let go, and instead he held Su Jiming's shoulders in a void, and said incredulously: "Tianya? ”

Su Jiming covered his chest and couldn't speak. With this movement, the wound cracked, and blood quickly trickled down his fingers.

A flash of surprise and regret flashed in Xi Wu's eyes, and he immediately pinned the scepter into his waist and hugged Su Jiming horizontally.

Su Yan pounced: "Put down my son-in-law!" ”

Xi Wu was confused and puzzled in his heart, his eyebrows were tightly locked, his lips were pursed, this was not the time to ask, he gently let Su Yan go to one side. Immediately afterwards, Xiwu picked up Su Jiming and left.

A group of dumbfounded people came back to their senses, some stumbled to catch up, and some shouted for reinforcements. Xi Wu seemed to be walking freely, but the speed was extremely fast, Su Yan chased desperately, but watched him take Su Jiming farther and farther, and gradually disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

After the wound burst, Su Jiming fainted in pain, and when he woke up again, he was already in a strange room.

Xiwu was sitting on the edge of the bed, applying medicine to Su Jiming's wounds. He noticed that Su Jiming had woken up, so he stopped what he was doing and looked at Su Jiming silently with a peaceful gaze.

This kind of look in his eyes is very familiar to Su Jiming. Xiwu is a person who never likes or sorrows, whether he is happy or sad, a light smile or a sigh will pass. His temperament once made Su Jiming not very liking, and felt that he was too cold and hard. However, after seeing Xiwu's true indifferent and cruel appearance before, he actually saw peace in this calm. - Yes, it was not a calm of indifference, but a gentle tranquility.

Xi Wu slowly spoke: "Is the wound painful?" ”

Su Jiming moved, and then gasped. The wound left by Bu Tian was very deep, and it stands to reason that he should have been lying on the bed for ten days and half a month waiting for the wound to heal before getting out of bed and walking around, but he was too anxious, and as soon as the wound stopped bleeding, he fell to the ground, and the wound broke again, which was really painful.

Xiwu gently pressed his shoulder: "Don't move." He lowered his eyes and continued to medicate his wounds.

Su Jiming didn't dare to speak, nor did he dare to struggle. Just secretly observing the place. It's a small and clean house, not like an inn, but like a homestay. I don't know where Xiwu took him, this is not a building of the Wu barbarians, they should not have left Huizhou yet.

"On the outskirts of the city." Xi Wu suddenly spoke, startling Su Jiming. Su Jiming was stunned for a moment, only to know that Xi Wu was talking about where they were, which showed that Xi Wu saw through his thoughts, which made him suddenly feel weak and silently closed his eyes.

Xi Wu gently rubbed the herbs in his hand on his wound, and although the technique was gentle, it was still very painful. Su Jiming grabbed the sheets hard, gritted his teeth tightly, and did not cry out for pain. Suddenly, he felt Xiwu break his fingers that were tightly twisting the sheets and grab his hand.

He couldn't help but open his eyes, only to see Xi Wu put the bowl containing medicine at the head of the bed, put the medicine on him with his right hand, hold his hand with his left hand, and rub it in his palm with his fingertips. The touch from the palm of his hand was numb and comfortable, and it distracted him from many pains.

Xi Wu said in a deep voice: "If you are in Danzhou, there is holy spring water, which can speed up the healing of your wounds." ”

Su Jiming Fang was a little relaxed, and immediately became nervous when he heard this, for fear that Xiwu would bring him back to Danzhou, so he hurriedly said: "No! I don't! I ......" as soon as I exerted my strength, I bared my teeth in pain and panted with weakness.

Xi Wu shook his head slightly, but stopped talking. After taking medicine for Su Jiming, he actually got up and walked out of the room.

When he left, Su Jiming was stunned. He looked around, and he was the only one left in the room, and he immediately thought of fleeing. He was very scared in his heart, the Wu Barbarians were upright and dead-eyed, and his deception and escape were probably betrayal for Xiwu. Will Xiwu treat him like the barbarian who betrayed his wife? But is he injured and can he run away? Even if he runs away, will Xiwu give up?

Just when Su Jiming was at war with heaven and man in his mind, Xi Wu came back with a bowl of medicine. He carefully helped Su Jiming up and fed him medicine. Su Jiming was held in his arms, his heart was like a drum, and he didn't dare to look at Xiwu's eyes at all, and slowly drank the medicine.

"Who hurt you?"

Su Jiming was stunned and didn't answer.

"Except here." Xi Wu touched the wound on his chest with his fingers, "Where else?" ”

Su Jiming hesitated for a moment and shook his head slightly.

Xi Wudao: "Ten days ago, I noticed something. ”

What Xi Wu was referring to should be the time when Su Jiming was seriously ill. Su Jiming muttered, "That's nothing ......"

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xi Wu didn't ask, and took the empty medicine bowl he drank and put it on the table.

As soon as he turned around, Su Jiming dared to raise his eyes to look at his back.

Why, why did Xiwu just care about his injuries, why didn't he ask who he really was? He deceived Xiwu, isn't Xiwu angry?

After a while, Xiwu turned around and sat down on the edge of the bed again, Su Jiming immediately flashed his gaze again, tilted his head slightly, and a strand of hair hung down from his ear, just blocking his vision.

Xi Wu raised his hand, and Su Jiming subconsciously dodged, but quickly froze. Sensing his fear, Xiwu frowned imperceptibly, and then gently hung his hair behind his ears.

"You're not Bu Tian."

Su Jiming bit his lip: "Yes." ”

"You're not a Miao either."

“…… Right. ”

Only then did Su Jiming notice that Xi Wu used the barbarian language when talking to him. Although Su Jiming had learned the Wuman language a few months after arriving in Danzhou, Xiwu still used Miao to communicate with him most of the time. It was Xiwu's quiet gentleness and accommodation, but only now did he know that this accommodation was actually ridiculous.

Xi Wu said slowly: "You lied to me. ”

“…… Be. ”

To Su Jiming's surprise, Xiwu did not get angry, and was still peaceful: "Why? ”

Su Jiming took a deep breath. Now, it is impossible to solve it by escaping, and the feelings in his heart have calmed down. He laughed at himself: "I am a Han person, or an official of the imperial court, I know that you hate Han people, especially Han officials, I just want to live, so I lied." ”

Xi Wu's brows furrowed again, this time frowning more deeply: "In the past year, everything you have lied to us?" ”

"All ......," Su Jiming repeated the word. He instinctively wanted to refute, but it didn't make sense to refute something that was already insignificant, so he smiled slightly wryly and acquiesced to the question.

Xiwu always frowned, this was the longest time Su Jiming had seen him frown, and it was obvious that Xiwu was also embarrassed by the situation in front of him.

Su Jiming was ready to accept Xiwu's questioning and bear his anger, he didn't feel guilty when he lied, because he just wanted to live, but now in the face of such Xiwu, he thought that he should have done something wrong.

However, Xiwu's next question surprised Su Jiming. Xiwu asked, "Why did you say goodbye?" ”

Su Jiming thought that Xi Wu might ask him if he had other intentions, or suspect that all the Yiqiē was his conspiracy, but he never expected that Xi Wu would ask this. He looked at Xiwu worriedly: "I'...... The Central Plains is where I belong, I am Han, I have something to do, I can't stay in Danzhou for the rest ......of my life."

"I'm asking, since you left on your own, why didn't you say goodbye?"

In the more than a month since Su Jiming left, Xiwu has almost turned the entire Hainan Island over. He couldn't figure it out, Tianya only said to go out to relieve him, but he disappeared like evaporation and never came back. For more than a month, he couldn't sleep well every night, and from time to time he remembered the last look he saw on the night Tianya left. He always thought that Tianya was kidnapped by someone, especially the impact on Su Jiming when he was ill made him more convinced of his guess, and he regretted that he had failed to protect Tianya. Therefore, when he found out that Su Jiming was actually Han and his status was not low, his first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief - fortunately, his world was not coerced by others and fell into a dangerous situation. Thank God.

Rao is Su Jiming, no matter how smart he is, he can't understand Xiwu's mood in the rest of the month. He finally understood that what Xi Wu asked was not why he left, but why he chose to sneak away, and he had to repeat a similar answer blankly: "I am Han, I dare not say it, for fear that you will be angry and kill me." ”

Xi Wu stretched out his hand again, gently but firmly forcing Su Jiming to turn his head and look at him: "Do you think I will kill you?" ”

Su Jiming muttered, "Don't you hate the Han people? ”

Xi Wu shook his head slowly: "No." There are all living beings in the world, and there are thousands of postures. We only hate the invaders, not the Han Chinese. ”

This answer once again made Su Jiming stunned. He suddenly felt that although they had been together for more than a year, he and Xiwu did not understand each other at all.

After a while, Xi Wu sighed softly, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes: "It turns out that you are afraid of me. ”。
