Chapter 44: Nightmare
Something cold in the dark accompanied the wind on Xi Duyun's face, and a firelight lit up in the distance, illuminating the night.
Through the light of Xi Twilight, Twilight Cloud saw clearly that what had fallen on his face was snow, and it was snowing. Xi Duyun caught the snowflakes, and gently held the flying snow in the palm of his hand and turned into blood water, the wind blew very quickly, and the flying snow danced in the wind.
The faint smell became clear, and Xi Duyun remembered that this smell was bloody, such a heavy bloody gas, I don't know how many people died. The sound of killing was approaching, and I don't know where a fire broke out and was blown to this side.
The fire in front of him was soaring, Qi Lichen stood in front of the moon cave door and didn't know what he was looking at, the firelight stretched his back very long, and noisy voices came from all directions, screaming, crying, calling, and the sound that never stopped, "Lichen, don't go." ”
Fueled by the wind, the fire grew stronger, and in a blink of an eye, the surrounding flames rushed to the sky, the fire burned the lanterns under the corridor, and the lanterns fell to the ground and turned into ashes.
Before the fire rushed to Qi Lichen, Xi Duyun hugged Qi Lichen, and all the noise stopped at the moment when he hugged Qi Lichen.
"Crackling" is the sound of a spark bursting, and when Xi Duyun opens his eyes, it turns out to be a dream. She held Qi Lichen's hand because of the excessive force, leaving a red mark on Qi Lichen's hand, and her palm was also shocked into a cold sweat.
"Nightmares?" Qi Lichen didn't know when he woke up, he sat up with a soft pillow behind his back, and smiled at Xi Duyun.
"He hadn't laughed in a long time." The words of Bai Ye popped out of Xi Duiyun's mind, the tip of his nose was sour, like Xi Duiyu coquettishly to Qi Lichen, he threw himself into Qi Lichen's arms, and choked up, "It's all over." ”
"Hmm." Qi Lichen also hugged Xi Duyun and responded softly. It was supposed to be her who comforted Qi Lichen, but it turned out to be the other way around.
The next day, Xi Duyun proposed to go outside the city to relax, Qi Lichen agreed, and Xi Duyu stayed in the mansion and handed over to Bai Ye to take care of.
When they went out, they met Xu Buzhi, who came to teach in the house, and when they saw them walking out in pairs, Xu Buzhi stood on the side like a snake and scorpion, his back was tightly pressed against the wall, and he looked like he wanted to hide in the wall.
"It seems that I scared Xu Gongzi a lot last time, and scared the serious scholars to this point, my sin is really unforgivable."
As soon as she got into the carriage, Xi Duyun began to speak freely, and there was no remorse between her words, Qi Lichen scratched her nose, and said helplessly: "You are embarrassed to say, you are thick-skinned like a wall, and you are still staring at people." ”
Qi Lichen has a clear understanding of Gu Jianglin's growth and behavior, and the interesting place is here, before appearing in Qi County, Qi Lichen didn't notice Xu Zhi's character, he clearly had a fairy-like face, and his sense of presence was faint and almost none.
Xu doesn't know how to be obsessed with learning books, he is devoted to studying books, and his talent is not revealed in front of others. In order to read a book, I don't know if I can go out of the door and not step into the second door.
is such a difficult person, and he was subdued by Gu Jianglin. Xu doesn't know self-denial, and the love between men and women is the strangest to him.
Any act of intimacy is an overstep in front of him, don't blame his reaction being so excited, Xi Duyun's words and deeds are not shameless in his eyes, but appalling.
Xi Duyun picked a grape and stuffed it into his mouth unexpectedly, grinning from the cold, it was convenient not to freeze it in winter.
"If you look good, look at it twice, you can be eye-catching, and I'll pull you to see it next time." Eh, have you ever admired plums? I haven't done such an elegant thing as cherry blossom viewing yet, and I actually want to see peach blossoms, but the season hasn't come yet. ”
When I went to school, Xi Duyun was mostly part-time when I had time, so I didn't say that it was good to have time to enjoy flowers and sleep when I had time.
"Appreciated, the former palace...... The plum blossoms in the garden are blooming very well, and I will pick the first plum blossom of each year and send it to my mother. ”
Qi Lichen took out a handkerchief to wipe the water stains from the corners of Xi Duyun's mouth, and helped her straighten out the placket.
"The first time you've told me about your mother." Xi Duyun was upright, noticing that Qi Lichen's gaze had been on her neck, and she silently pulled the placket higher, and in order to cover the bruises on her neck, she chose the one with the highest collar in the wardrobe.
"You said it yourself, and you will say it when the time comes, and I think now is the best time to say something." Qi Lichen's eyes moved away from Qi Lichen's neck, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Xi Duyun had a plan, pulled Qi Lichen's head back, let him face him, and said with bad intentions: "Where is Lang Jun staring at me?" Excuse me? ”
Not to mention anything else, if you want to talk about being serious, Xi Duyun is a first-class absolute. Qi Lichen's face was different, and she took Xi Duyun's hand away, but she was like an octopus, and her hand was tightly "glued" to Qi Lichen's face.
"Lang Jun's face is very hot, and it is more comfortable than a hand warmer, which is strange and strange." Xi Duyun blinked his innocent eyes, and pinched Qi Lichen's cheek with his hand recklessly, unable to tell whether it was teasing or waiting for an opportunity to "retaliate".
"Don't mess around, the woman who hasn't been out of the cabinet says these indecent things all day long, it's not decent, and the injury on her shoulder isn't healed, and she doesn't know how to stop." Qi Lichen pressed Xi Duyun into his arms and let her sleep in his arms.
"You have to walk a little way out of the city, so get some sleep, and I'll wake you up when you get there." Qi Lichen hugged Xi Duyun and shook gently, like a mother coaxing a child to sleep.
Xi Duyun knew that he was still blaming himself for hurting himself, so he stopped bothering him and obediently lay in Qi Lichen's arms.
The carriage was quiet, and the carriage walked on the smooth street, after all, the wooden wheels were a little bumpy.
In the cold weather, staying in a warm place is the most likely to get sleepy, Xi Duyun closed his eyes and after a while, drowsiness swept over, and when he was about to fall asleep, the carriage tossed upside down, shaking Xi Duyun's sleepiness out of the clouds.
Xi Duyun was lying on his side, and his breath was full of the light cold fragrance on Qi Lichen's body, which was reassuring. The corners of Xi Duyun's mouth hooked, the word fate is really magical, she never thought that she would one day go to another world and become attached to a peerless beautiful man.
That's something that only happens in dreams.
"Actually, I didn't think I would actually marry you." Xi Duyun's lips opened slightly, and he picked up a piece of Qi Lichen's clothes and played with it in his hand. His clothes were carefully ironed, and there was nothing wrong with them.
"Huh?" Qi Lichen patted Xi Duyun's back, raised his eyebrows, and answered quietly.
"I worked hard to run the Sugar Heart Pavilion, just to save some silver taels, enough to support me and Xiaoyu, and when Xiaoyu marries in the future, I can give her a considerable dowry, and I can support her for a lifetime if she doesn't get married."
Before moving to Xinfu, Xi Duyun didn't plan Qi Lichen for his future. The only plan is to find a suitable opportunity to solve the marriage between them, Qi Lichen is not a thing in the pool, and neither is she, unfortunately the two are not all the way.
"How did you change your mind?" Qi Lichen took a wisp of Xi Duyun's green silk and pinched it in his hand, and asked with a smile.
Xi Duyun did not hide her resistance to this marriage, Qi Lichen was not surprised when she said this, as long as she didn't directly open her mouth to withdraw from the marriage, she said that Qi Lichen would be able to deal with it safely.
Xi Duyun sat up, looked directly into Qi Lichen's eyes, and squinted.
"Later I found out that you were genuine to me, and I was unknowingly in love with you. Since liking is not the words of the matchmaker of our parents, we are in one place because we really like it, not because of my father's dying will. ”
