The howling wind blew across the endless grass, and the grass swayed with the wind, gently touching Ouyang He's blown-up cheeks like fingers. Ouyang He's eyes gradually opened under the stimulation of the grass tip, and she found herself lying on a somewhat sloping meadow, which was surrounded by low hills on three sides, and a vast blue lake on the other side. From afar, the vast surface of the lake stretches to the horizon where it meets the sky, and the calm waters of the lake ripple softly between the majestic and vast heaven and earth.

Ouyang He slowly sat up with the support of his hands, and at this time, a couple rode two sturdy horses and slowly approached Ouyang He, and then they gradually stopped in front of Ouyang He.

They didn't notice Ouyang He's presence, but Ouyang He sat beside them and saw their faces clearly. The man looked strong and tall, with a dense beard on his chin, but between his eyebrows there was a bit of youthful and frivolous heroism. The woman was wearing a red and orange Central Plains costume, and on her forehead was wearing a blue and white jade pendant that sparkled in the sun, with delicate facial features, a beautiful face, and a slight bulge in the lower abdomen, as if she was pregnant.

"Han'er, it's been almost a year since we followed Uncle Bayi to the shores of this Sailim Lake, right? Are you still used to life here? The man stretched out his hand to block out the harsh sunlight as he gazed out at the endless Lake Selim in front of him.

"Well, the people in the tribe have treated me very well all this year. There are not so many deceitful people here in the Central Plains, and everyone lives so naturally and purely. The woman looked at the man happily and said with a smile, "Seriously, when I first heard Ji Lang say that he was going to bring me to the Western Regions, I was worried that the people here would be so vicious. Now it seems that I have too much heart. ”

"Hehe, nomads have always been the henchmen of the Central Plains Dynasty, and it is no wonder that the people of the Central Plains will be a little afraid when they mention this kind of nomads." The man sighed a little helplessly, then he turned to look at the woman with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, we will be safe here, and I will protect you two well." ”

"Well, I'll be where Jilang is, and our family will be together forever."

Ouyang He listened quietly to their conversation on the side, and at the same time, she always felt that the woman's appearance was quite familiar, which seemed to be a face that she had been very familiar with since she was born. After a while, it dawned on her that the woman's face was strikingly similar to her own.

When Ouyang He was still staring at the woman, suddenly the blue sky turned blood-red in a blink of an eye, and at the same time, a huge monster figure slowly rose from the water of Sailimu Lake under the shroud of dense fog.

"That's ...... How could this be ......" The man was stunned as he watched the huge figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, and the woman was equally frightened and covered her mouth with her hand.

It didn't take long for the originally vague figure in the fog to gradually take on a clearer outline. The massive monster flapped its massive wings, its entire body resembling a raging tiger with fire burning all over its body, while its thick, powerful tail was constantly flapping at the choppy waters beneath its feet.

Seeing the monster slowly flying towards the two, Ouyang He subconsciously wanted to stand up and help the two of them resist the monster's attack. However, just as she struggled to stand up, a pair of hands that had turned white suddenly grabbed her feet from behind her and knocked her to the ground. Ouyang He looked back, and the sight of skeletons everywhere that had appeared in her dream before appeared in front of her eyes again. Ouyang He struggled desperately in fright, but after she struggled to kick off one of the skeletons, another skeleton followed on top of her, grabbed her feet and dragged her towards a cave that appeared on the ground not far away.

Ouyang He was still struggling, but there were more and more skeletons crawling out of the cave and crawling to her side, and she gradually felt that the strength in her body was rapidly draining.

As she slipped into the hole as the skeletons dragged her, she saw the huge monster not far away swoop down from the air towards the couple, and the man pulled out a sword carved with gold filigree from the scabbard at his waist, and then he swung the blade with all his internal strength, and a huge wind mixed with the dirt around him built a strong barrier around the man and woman.

"That'...... Could it be...... Kirin Knife! Ouyang He's eyes stared at the confrontation between the man and the monster, but soon she was dragged into the bottomless abyss by the huge number of skeletons around her when she couldn't move.

"Ahh With a scream, Ouyang He sat up from the hospital bed sweating profusely. She clutched her heart as she had dreamed of such a horrific sight the last time, gasping for air. Sweat clung to the sides of her cheeks, and the fair skin on her face flushed with a few more bloody blushes under the effect of tension.

"Yo, is the little girl awake?" Zhu Hao walked into the room while pouring herbs.

Ouyang He held her forehead with her hand to settle down, and then she asked Zhu Hao how she got here. Zhu Hao told her that a young man named Meng Yan had carried her here, and that she had been in a coma here for five days, and that Meng Yan had been working on the docks for five days to earn silver taels that could help her heal.

"What? Meng Gongzi, he actually ...... for me" Ouyang He's face showed a little surprise after hearing this, and then she slowly lowered her head and seemed to feel a little sad.

"Hehe, I have been practicing medicine in Chungju City for many years, and it is the first time I have seen such a young man who can give everything for others. It can be seen that this young man is really in love with the girl, haha! Zhu Hao said in a joking tone while checking Ouyang He's pulse.

"Ah, sir, think too much, let's ...... It's not that kind of relationship...... Ouyang He was still very moved by Meng Yan's help, but maybe for some reason, she felt a little uneasy and helpless in her heart at the moment.

"Haha, I won't get involved in the affairs of you young people, in short, your body is basically fine now, what you need to do now is to have a good rest, don't let down the young man's hard work for you." Zhu Hao finished speaking earnestly at Ouyang He's bedside and then left to do something else.

Ouyang He lay back on the bed thoughtfully after seeing Zhu Hao leave, and she kept thinking about what Zhu Hao had just told him about all the things Meng Yan had done to cure her, and her mind was disturbed. At this time, although she was very grateful to Meng Yan for her deep affection and righteousness, she didn't know how Meng Yan viewed the relationship between them. So, in this anxious state of mind, Ouyang He, who grew up in Yufeng Villa and was not familiar with the world, didn't know how she should get along with Meng Yan, who had paid so much for herself.

"Hehe, what's wrong with me, I've been with Meng Gongzi for so long before, and he has also paid so much to save me, but I'm thinking about his heavy friendship here, I really feel a little ridiculous." Ouyang He laughed at herself with a little shame in her heart, and then she turned sideways on the bed and fell asleep again.

After a long night, Meng Yan finally returned to the hospital after a busy day. When he trotted all the way into Ouyang He's room, two egg cakes drizzled with honey were multiplied into a plate and placed on the table in Ouyang He's room.

"Meng Gongzi, you're back." Ouyang He walked out from behind the screen in the room wearing the coarse cloth clothes he had changed into in the medical hall, holding a handkerchief soaked in hot water in his hand and handing it to Meng Yan.

"European ...... Miss Ouyang, you're awake! This...... That's great! Meng Yan felt a little ecstatic when he saw Ouyang He, who was standing in front of him and his complexion had recovered a little. It's just that somehow, whenever he looks face-to-face at Ouyang He, who is as beautiful as a fairy in his mind, he always seems to feel a little uneven breathing, his heart beats faster, and his speech becomes a little slurred, even if he still knows his mutilated body now.

"Here, this is the egg cake that the little woman made for Childe, Childe must be a little hungry after a busy day outside. It's just that there aren't many ingredients left in the medical hall, and all the little woman can think of is doing this, and I hope Childe doesn't mind. Ouyang He smiled and handed the chopsticks to Meng Yan's hand.

"This ...... Thank you...... Thank you, Miss Ouyang, in the next ...... It's been a long time...... I've never eaten anything so good. Meng Yan said shyly and deliberately avoiding Ouyang He's gaze, and then he carefully picked up a small piece of cake under Ouyang He's gaze and quickly stuffed it into his mouth with his hand.

"What does Meng Gongzi think? The little girl's cooking skills are not good, please forgive Meng Gongzi. Ouyang He stared at Meng Yan with his eyes closed and chewing, and asked tentatively.

"This is the most delicious food I've ever eaten in my life." Meng Yan said to Ouyang He happily, "If in the future, I can often eat the meals made by the girl, it will be a blessing for three lives!" ”

"Hehe, thank you for your love, as long as you like it, you can often come to the villa as a guest, and the little girl will definitely cook and entertain your son." After Ouyang He heard this, he covered his mouth with his sleeve and laughed happily with Meng Yan.

After a period of frolicking, after Meng Yan had gobbled up the cake, Ouyang He mentioned Ling Rui to Meng Yan, and by the way, he also briefly recounted to Meng Yan some of the things that had happened to her since she came to Xudu.

"In this way, Brother Ling made a special trip from Chengdu for the girl's safety, and it was really the Ling Rui I knew before, haha!" Meng Yan praised Ouyang He for Ling Rui's personality on the surface, but in fact, deep down in his heart, he may have vaguely sensed his good brother's feelings for Ouyang He.

"Well, it's just that since I fell off the cliff, Ling Gongzi's life and death are still uncertain, plus Xin'er's death, I sometimes really ...... I really feel like I can't bear it anymore. Ouyang He recalled what she had experienced in the Ghost Castle, and her clear eyes were once again flickering with tears.

"Miss Ouyang......" Meng Yan took out the blue handkerchief that Ouyang He had left on his body from his arms and gently wiped away the tears hanging from the corners of Ouyang He's eyes.

"I'm sorry to make Meng Gongzi smile." Ouyang He forcibly held back the tears that were about to overflow in his eyes, and the bitterness and sorrow in his heart were also pressed back into her heart again. Seeing that it was getting late, Ouyang He said goodbye to Meng Yan, and Meng Yan also left the room where Ouyang He was after greeting with concern.

The next day, not long after Meng Yan said goodbye to Ouyang He, who was still recuperating from his injuries, and went to work on the dock, a group of people claiming to be disciples of Lieyang Sect suddenly appeared in Zhu Hao's medical hall and ordered Zhu Hao to hand over Ouyang He to them immediately, it turned out that some of their subordinates had seen Meng Yan carry Ouyang He into this medical hall. Zhu Hao was afraid that they would be outnumbered, so he had to take them to Ouyang He's room in a huff. However, when everyone opened the door, to their surprise, the room was empty at the moment.
