Or is it a step too late?

"Help... Help..."

Ning Xiaoxiao turned her head in surprise and looked in the direction of the bamboo forest, as if only the sound of the wind was left in her ears, and the sound of houses being burned to the ground.

The faint cry for help just now seemed like an auditory hallucination.

"Who?"

He dismounted and walked slowly towards the bamboo forest, at this time, the smoke was filled, his vision was unknown, and the sound in his ears was getting weaker and weaker, but he still had a strong premonition.

There are still people alive.

Suddenly hearing a rapid footstep in his ears, he suddenly turned around, and saw a white shadow in a trance, and the faint cry for help in his ears stopped abruptly.

"Who is it? Don't be foolish, come out quickly. ”

Ning Xiaoxiao pulled out the saber at his waist and stepped on the bamboo body, and in an instant, he needed to make two choices, whether to chase the suspicious white shadow, or to continue to look for the seemingly empty cry for help.

In the blink of an eye, he chose the latter.

He raised his arm, covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and rushed into the bamboo forest, looking for the source of the faint cry for help, when the tip of the hanging knife inadvertently scratched the big stone next to him, making a piercing metal grinding sound, he subconsciously lowered his eyes, and his dark eyes were dominated by the dazzling bright red.

Blood soaked the dirt crimson, choking smoke obscured most of his vision, and in the haze, he spotted two men lying on the ground.

"Ahem, are you still alive?"

He crouched down, held back his cough, and probed the nose of the two corpses with his index finger, and there was no breath.

As if by a miracle, the wind blew the smoke away, and he was surprised to find not two but three lying on the ground, and the couple tried to protect the child in their arms and try to escape with him.

Ning Xiaoxiao, who was stunned, stretched out her hand suspiciously and pushed the child, and just when her eyes were about to dim, there was an intermittent coughing sound in her ears.

It's not dead, it's still alive.

"Come, brother will take you out."

It was the last sound heard by a child whose parents had just died, closing his eyes again.

*

The next morning, a carriage hurried in the direction of the main city, and Ning Kawaie, who was tall and slender, was looking out the window, letting Chen You, who had a high fever, and the little bird resting on his shoulder.

"Hmm..."

Chen You, who was reluctant to sleep, secretly raised his eyes and peeked at Ning Cute next to him, and his tired eyes were full of stars.

Is this a dream?

Or did you burn your forehead too much and hallucinate?

It would be better if Ning Cute pillowed on his shoulder, and he would be happy when he thought about it.

Ning Cute just turned his head to see if he was sleeping peacefully, and someone instantly had the stunt of falling asleep in a second, sleeping more well-behaved than a cat.

"Lord Chen, you'll be in the main city soon, have you woken up?" She asked softly.

Tatsuyo closed his eyes tightly, deciding not to open his eyes until he had to.

Suddenly, in the dark, the hot forehead ushered in a touch of coldness, Ning Lovely reached out to reach out to Chenyou's forehead disappreciably, and muttered in her mouth:

"This burn, Fang has obviously retreated a little, why does his forehead seem to be getting hotter and hotter?"

Chen You pursed his lips, and his nose lingered with the fragrance of his daughter around her neck, his breathing gradually became a little heavier, and it became a little difficult to keep his eyes closed and hide his accelerated heartbeat.

"Why are you in a cold sweat?"

The soft fingertips wiped away the cold sweat from the corners of his forehead, causing someone's tingling itch.

"Do you feel cold? But do you have any clothes for you to wear? ”

Someone struggled to resist the urge to nod violently, and a long, white and slender hand put its arm around him, slowly pulling him into his arms, gently rubbing his shoulder.

The bridge of the man's nose was lifted right against her neck, his sleek shoulders inadvertently touched her softness, his red cheeks were steaming hot, and his head was about to spew smoke.

"Tatsu-sama, why did you get a nosebleed?"

The exclaimed Xiao Yu hurriedly helped Chen You wipe his nosebleed, but someone was so ashamed that he almost fainted.

He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes tightly, and silently told himself that no matter what Ning Lovely called him, he couldn't open his eyes at this time, it was too embarrassing.

"Catch big brother, it's almost time to get to the main city." The groom pulled the reins and turned back as he drove the horse.

"I know, please hurry up, this friend somehow seems to be seriously ill, and he has started to bleed."

"That's going to have to hurry." The carriage clung to the reins and whipped the whip, speeding up the carriage.

The galloping horse's legs trampled over the green hills and yellow mud, and rushed towards the main city at an astonishing speed.

Soon after, the carriage was intercepted by soldiers at the city gates.

The woman pulled open the silk cloth, stretched her head out, and said to the soldier: "Trouble is good, hurry up and stamp it, my friend is very sick and bleeding." ”

The guard looked down in surprise, the other party's sleeve was indeed stained with a large amount of blood, he hurriedly pulled open the silk cloth, looked at the carriage, and blurted out: "Lord Chenyou?"

"You know him?"

Ning Kawai was a little surprised, and then thought about it, Lord Chenyou would go out on patrol every day, and it didn't seem strange that the guards guarding the door knew him.

"In the main city, who doesn't know Lord Chenyou? Was he injured and bleeding? ”

"That's right, he contracted the wind chill and had a nosebleed."

Hearing this, Chen You, who was pretending to be asleep, really felt that he was dying, he was about to die of shame, it was not enough for Ning Lovely to know, and now even the guards guarding the door knew that he had a nosebleed.

"Then you hurry up and send Lord Chenyou to the hospital to see the doctor, get out of the way, Lord Chenyou has a nosebleed, and he is also infected with a cold, he is very sick, and he is in a hurry to see the doctor."

As soon as these words came out, the people in the city consciously separated into two columns and patiently waited for Chenyou's carriage to pass by, from the streets to the alleys, but the rumors spread more and more.

"Lord Tatsuyo is infected with tuberculosis and is dying."

"You're wrong, Lord Tatsumi is dead, and it's his body in the carriage."

Chen You was speechless when he heard this, but he didn't dare to open his eyes rashly, for fear that the people around him would think that he was 'cheating the corpse'.

"I'm at the infirmary."

However, what someone never expected was that Ning Lovely would pick him up with one hand and carry him into the hospital under the watchful eyes of the people in the main city.

Someone confessed with weeping in his heart:

I knew that the official would not pretend to be asleep, but now, the majesty is shattered, how can he patrol the streets of the main city in the future, how can he stand up in front of his subordinates.

Doctor, can you prescribe medicine for him, let him sleep for ten days and half a month, and wake up when things are light.

"Doctor, come and show him."

Xiao Yu had just put down Lord Chenyou, and there was a noise of gongs and drums behind him.

She ran out suspiciously, just in time to see a team of relatives carrying eight people from a distance.

"I also want it not to be so noisy, so as not to hinder Lord Chen's rest, if it is a happy event, then there is no way."

"You see, the bridegroom is really ugly."

Ning Kawaii raised her eyes and recognized the groom officer riding a sweaty BMW, but she never expected that the sweaty BMW happened to stop at the entrance of the medical hall.

"I didn't expect it, this son will use eight people to pick you up, but you don't have to be grateful to your father-in-law, treat you as a beautiful woman who sinks fish and geese, and closes the moon and is ashamed, these are all as it should be."

Shi Gongzi grinned at the lips of the fish-like fish of Fushou, stared at Ning Cute and obscenely, and said a love story that he thought was very sultry.

Ning Lovely turned her head, looked at the grandmother who was selling vegetables, and kindly reminded: "This beauty, you want to marry him, don't, this kind of person is not only frivolous and prodigal, but also robs the people's daughters, and he can't marry him." ”

"What do you say, this girl doesn't know him."

The white-haired mother-in-law with braids shook her head and walked away.

"It's not you, so who is he talking about?" Ning is cute.

"The person this son said, of course it's you, Miss Ning, no, lady, come to your husband's sedan chair."

Huh-

Looking at the shaking mole, Ning Lovely resisted the urge to vomit and retreated, shouting: "Don't talk nonsense, when will Ben Zhu become your lady?" ”

"You already are."

As soon as the words fell, Shi Gongzi took out the marriage letter signed by Ning's mother from his arms and handed it forward, Ning looked at the three words on the marriage book suspiciously, and recognized his mother's handwriting.

It must be her mother who made the moth again.

"Ben Catch hasn't written any marriage book, you can tear up the marriage book if you are interested, otherwise, don't blame Ben Catch for being polite."

The woman pressed her knuckles hard, and the gurgling sound was terrifying.

"No, it's useless, this marriage certificate has been stamped by the government, you and I are husband and wife, besides, your mother has already received the dowry of this son and made the ninth concubine of this son, if you insist on refusing to get on the sedan chair, this son will go to the yamen to sue your mother, saying that your mother conspired with you to cheat on the marriage."

Shi Gongzi straightened his waist and said boldly.

"Matchmaker, why don't you hurry up and put on your new young lady in a wedding dress, let her sit in a sedan chair, marry my son, and flower candles in the cave room?"

As soon as the words fell, the matchmaker took a red wedding dress and walked towards Ning Kawaii.

"Ben Catch quickly reminds you, don't come here, this wedding dress, Ben Catch Kuai will never wear it."

Hearing this, a trace of cunning flashed in the scheming eyes, and just when she was about to drape her clothes on Ning Cuai's body, the maid next to her didn't know what to take out of her sleeve and sprinkled a large amount of white powder on Ning Cuai's face.

"It's not that easy to sneak up on this and catch it quickly." She said smugly.

The matchmaker was not so lucky, and after coughing twice, she fainted in front of everyone.

"It's really worthy of being the woman in my son's photo, and it's really a rare heroine." Shi Gongzi looked at Ning Lovely greedily, and did not hide the desire under his eyes.

"It seems that it is useless to reason with you."

Ning Lovely jumped forward, came to the sedan chair, turned around, and looked around, trying to find something more.

"Little baby, are you finally willing to put on your wedding dress and get on the sedan chair?" Shi Gongzi said happily.

"Found it."

The pair of bright eyes looked straight away, raised his foot, kicked the eight people into the air, and the people were stunned to see the sedan chair buckled upside down on the roof of the Spring Festival Building, and their jaws couldn't close for a long time.

provoked a burst of scolding from the woman who hooked the fence.

"Which troublemaker dares to smash through the roof of my house?"

"It's me!" The little catcher at the bottom answered the road in a dignified manner.

"Young man, don't think that you can do whatever you want if you look good, if this roof is smashed through, you will have to pay for it."

"Compensate, go to the Criminal Department to find the youngest Qing Officials Division in history, Ning Xiaoxiao will compensate!"

Hearing this, someone who was leading the team sneezed heavily.

"What's the difference between you letting this girl's old looks compensate and letting this girl compensate!" The woman grumbled coquettishly.

Ning Lovely gently patted her long legs and retracted the legs that were facing the air.

"Now, the sedan chair is gone, your daydream is over, Shi Gongzi, please go back, it's best not to let Ben Zhu see you again."

"Hahahaha... Lady, it's so naïve, how can this son marry a wife, how can he not be prepared with both hands, and come out. ”

Shi Gongzi raised his hands and waved forward vigorously.

Nearly 100 martial arts masters walked forward from behind the welcoming team, holding various weapons and standing beside Shi Gongzi.
