The emotions that surged in my heart because of the dream made Ye Xiaoyu uncomfortable.

She tried to get out of bed, but she just tried and gave up instantly. She suddenly realized that her whole body was weak, not to mention sitting up, and she didn't even have the strength to move her arms.

Fortunately, her neck could still move, Ye Xiaoyu poked her head hard at the edge of the bed, only to find two familiar figures lying on the table.

It was quiet, and the sunlight outside the house, through the wooden lattice windows covered with fine yarn, left dappled shadows on their backs.

Inexplicably dry mouth, just saw a cup placed on the chair next to the bed, and couldn't bear to disturb the sleep of the two, Ye Xiaoyu tried a few times, and was finally able to raise his arm. But the chair was still a little far from the bedside, and Ye Xiaoyu used her strength to breastfeed, and finally let her hand touch the cup.

But it was just touched, the outside of the cup was very slippery, and Ye Xiaoyu was tired, so she didn't pick up the cup after a lot of effort. The distance was too far, and she couldn't get out of bed, so she could only probe with her hands, once, twice, until she finally grabbed the cup, and she didn't hold it.

Bang!

The cup fell to the ground, splinters and water splashed.

A bang, like a thunderclap in the daytime, instantly bounced the two people lying on the table in the outhouse from their chairs.

"What's wrong?!"

"What's going on!?"

Zou Youheng and Wang Huaiqing stood up and looked at each other. As if he had thought of something in an instant, he turned around and ran to the inner room.

The two of them walked briskly to the bed, except for the debris and stagnant water on the ground. There is nothing out of the ordinary.

"That, I wanted to drink water and accidentally put the cup ...... Shattered ......"

Ye Xiaoyu's voice was very low, but it still scared the two people standing by the bed.

"Leaf ...... Ye Xiaoyu, are you awake??!!! ”

I couldn't believe my ears, and I was stunned for a while before Wang Huaiqing asked intermittently.

"You...... Ye Xiaoyu...... Are you awake?! ”

Zou Youheng was also stunned.

"Well, I'm so thirsty."

Ye Xiaoyu's voice was weak.

"Ye Xiaoyu, are you really awake!?? Wang Huaiqing, Ye Xiaoyu is awake!! ”

It was as if he had finally reacted. Zou Youheng approached the bedside. grabbed Ye Xiaoyu who was lying on the bed.

"Little Fish ......"

Wang Huaiqing was still standing in place, with a hint of choked in his voice.

"I said, you two...... What's going on? I...... If you're so thirsty, can you give me a glass of water? ”

Ye Xiaoyu was very tired. Every word spoken. She felt that it touched countless nerves in her body. Bursts of pain, she couldn't say a coherent sentence. But seeing the two people with mixed feelings in front of her, she couldn't bear to ignore them.

"Oh. Water, I'll get it right away, you wait......"

Zou Youheng said, let go of Ye Xiaoyu's arm, turned around and ran towards the outhouse. There were so many things in his head that he didn't know if it was a dream or reality.

"Little Fish...... You're finally awake......"

Wang Huaiqing always stood about two steps away from the bed, and was looking at Ye Xiaoyu lying on the bed blankly.

"Hmm."

was so tired, her back seemed to have been hollowed out, if it weren't for her thirst, Ye Xiaoyu felt that she wouldn't wake up.

"I ......"

But judging from Wang Huaiqing's expression, he was obviously not much easier than Ye Xiaoyu.

"Here comes the water."

While Ye Xiaoyu was holding on and waiting for Wang Huaiqing's next words, Zou Youheng walked in with a glass of water.

"I'll help you up."

Zou Youheng said, and he stepped forward to help.

"Youheng, let's let Xiaoyu lie down, she just woke up, let's not move."

Wang Huaiqing stopped.

The beard that saved people has already left, what if something happens to Ye Xiaoyu again?

"How do you drink that? Spoon feeding? ”

Zou Youheng also realized this, so he didn't move forward, but just turned his head to look at Wang Huaiqing.

"Get a spoon."

Wang Huaiqing smiled.

Ye Xiaoyu looks like this, it is safer to still take a spoon and feed it one bite at a time.

During the conversation between the two, Ye Xiaoyu was in a semi-coma throughout the whole process, she was so tired, it was like all the bones in her body had been dismantled and reinstalled, although she knew that Wang Huaiqing and Zou Youheng were chatting about herself, but she didn't want to interject at all.

The spoon was brought, but the question of who was going to feed it was the question.

Zou Youheng naturally felt that he should feed him, but although Wang Huaiqing was not as obvious as he appeared on the surface, he still hoped that he could feed Ye Xiaoyu in his heart.

The two didn't say anything on the surface, but they were still at a stalemate in their movements.

"Come on, I'm a little hungry, go out to the kitchen and get something to eat."

In the end, Zou Youheng gave up.

It's already dawn, and he hasn't eaten properly for a few days, now that Ye Xiaoyu has woken up, it's time for him to go and have a good meal. And he has to go to Ye Xiaoyu's two shops to patrol, there are a lot of things, and he will leave the matter of taking care of Ye Xiaoyu to Wang Huaiqing.

"Let's make more porridge in the kitchen."

Glancing at Ye Xiaoyu, Wang Huaiqing said.

After being in a coma for so many days and eating a small amount of food, Ye Xiaoyu estimated that she was hungry for a long time.

"I know."

Zou Youheng said and walked out of the house.

*

In the south of March, the weather is already showing heat. Especially during the daytime, the temperature rises instantly, making people feel the urge to put on a single shirt.

It's hot in the sun just wearing a coat, let alone wearing a wig and a beard. So as soon as he got out of the city gate, Sunny found a place to take off the curly wig and beard on his head.

A breeze blew by, and I felt a lot more refreshed.

This trip to the south was more dangerous than expected, but fortunately, he was able to solve it. He was just passing through Rongzhou on the way back, but it happened so that he saw the notice posted outside the city gate.

Sunny is not a zealous person either. The reason why he was willing to come to Zou Mansion was because he saw the words "Ye Xiaoyu" on the notice.

Be unsure. After much hesitation, he finally knocked on the door of the Zou Mansion in the middle of the night.

This trip south was far more dangerous than his previous mission, so he brought with him a set of medicines to heal serious injuries, these medicines came from strange sources, but the effect was unusually good. There are some things in the world that are really unpredictable, and the things that were originally prepared for themselves were accidentally used on Ye Xiaoyu's body.

In the spring of March, even if it is a desolate official road, the scenery along the way is infinite.

But the indifferent young man on horseback was not on this at all. Thousands of miles away in Yuejing. Rongzhou City, which is close to and constantly moving away. Once a person has too much other people's things in his heart, he will not have his own thoughts.

*

After swallowing a few mouthfuls of warm water fed by Wang Huaiqing, Ye Xiaoyu fell asleep again. By the time she had just drunk the water, she had already remembered why she was lying in bed. I also remembered why I felt like my back had been hollowed out.

Just when she used her body to block it. The man stabbed him in the back with a dagger. I didn't feel much pain at the time. But he didn't expect to trigger such a strict consequence.

Ye Xiaoyu was so tired, so before she fell into a coma, she only recalled so much. It's not even time to worry about your shop. I fell into a deep sleep.

*

"What's your name?"

In the prison of the Rongzhou Mansion, Guo Ming was sitting in a precarious position, interrogating the prisoner on the iron pillar with a majestic face.

This prisoner was none other than trying to put poisonous scorpions in the shop on the day of "March 3", and then stabbed Ye Xiaoyu to press that person.

According to the law of the Great Cause Kingdom, if a prisoner is captured, he must first be interrogated by the Imperial Historical Observatory, and not all captured prisoners must go to court, as long as those who have sufficient evidence, the Imperial Historical Observatory will write a complaint and transfer the prisoner to the Yamen.

Therefore, the interrogation of this person naturally fell on the head of the Yushitai.

"Does it matter?"

The prisoner smiled, not intending to answer.

"Torture Instruments."

Guo Ming quickly commanded, without a little hesitation.

The reason why he was able to give the order so quickly was because he would not really use a heavy punishment on this person at all. You must know that in the country of Daye, it is not possible to use punishment against a prisoner who has not been tried in court, not even a slight finger pinch.

"Don't scare me, sir."

The prisoner grinned.

"The so-called torture instrument, you can only talk about it, if you really want to use the punishment, I'm afraid you have to bury me too, right?"

"Whether you accompany the funeral or not, it's all an afterthought. Do you think I really value this so-called little official position? ”

Guo Ming also laughed.

Every difficult and serious case is in his hands, but his position is always the same. Every time he looks at Zou Yu, who was once in the same batch and is now in the prefect's mansion, Guo Ming is full of bad feelings. So he really doesn't attach so much importance to this humble position.

"I'm good at everything, but I hate criminals playing tricks with me the most. I don't think you're an ordinary person, the last time a prisoner provoked me, I directly chopped off all ten of his fingers, I guess you should have heard of it, right? ”

Seeing that the prisoner was silent, Guo Ming continued to speak lightly.

Of course he hadn't done anything like that, but it wasn't that complicated to tell a lie.

Hearing this, the prisoner's face moved, but then he laughed again.

"Sir, do you think I'm a three-year-old? If you tell a story or something, you should also use dim sum. ”

"Put a tiger hood on him."

Guo Ming didn't pay attention to the prisoner anymore, but turned his head and said to his subordinates.

Tiger head coverings, i.e., head rings made of thick pure iron, on which iron nails are worn every few short sections. Put this on the head of the prisoner, and when the torture is used, it is like turning the iron nail on the tiger head like a screw, and the iron nail will be pierced into the prisoner's head like a screw when stressed, but it will not immediately cause a coma for a while, which is something left over from the previous dynasty, and it has hardly been used since Daye formulated a new law, but when it comes to Guo Ming, it is used by him.

Of course, he never really used this on the prisoners, but he just used this tiger hood to scare people every time. (To be continued......)
