Everything seemed to be real, more like a dream than a dream, because the scene in front of him was so unreal, how could a woman who abandoned him cry for him? But he tried his best to convince himself that it was true, and how good it should be.

"Are you awake?"

The voice is very real, mixed with a magnetism that makes Liu Yue's heart more and more. Xu Xuanzhu wiped his tears a little and wanted to help Liu Yu up, but saw that Liu Yu just moved his lips and didn't speak.

His lips were already chapped, and the light was dim, but he could still feel his pale face. Liu Yu is already dehydrated.

Xu Xuanzhu took out the kettle and opened the lid, handed it to Liu Yu's mouth, and poured out the water lightly, Liu Yumeng was poured a mouthful, and the next water was like nectar, satisfying the most primitive needs of the body, there is nothing more wonderful than drinking water at this moment. Even the budding emotions can only be put aside for the time being.

A bag of water is poured clean intermittently, and there are a lot of sideways, Liu Yue feels that it is a pity, as long as the mouth is a little wider, he can drink more. His consciousness gradually recovered, coughing and wheezing violently, Liu Yue wanted to sit up, his strength was very weak, and the point was that his body was still tied and put in the coffin.

Xu Xuanzhu untied the ropes on his body. Liu Yu needed to hold on to the coffin board to sit up reluctantly, looking around, was it in a dimly lit thatched house, the moonlight had receded, and he thought in his heart for a while, it was still the first quarter moon of April, and the time was already after midnight.

"You...... Why are you here? ”

Liu Yu's body was weak, and he lacked the strength to speak. The coffin was placed on the wooden bed, and Xu Xuanzhu sat on the bed board, and in the dim light, he saw that there were several damages on her body, and there was a smell of blood.

"Hurt?"

Liu Yue wanted to get closer to see clearly, but Xu Xuanzhu avoided it backwards, and said with a bit of sadness: "Don't come here, I am an unknown person, and I will affect you." ”

The theory of ghosts and gods was also a bit too nonsense for Liu Yu, but he could feel Xu Xuanzhu's mustard, and sighed softly: "What about those people? ”

"I didn't have many people with me, and at first I took the carriage down, but I didn't think that they would lead many people, but they were not able to suffer some injuries and cause old troubles, so I asked the guards to carry the coffin into the abandoned house, and let them lead the group away with the carriage!"

Liu Yu didn't expect Xu Xuanzhu to be injured desperately for him, after all, she had just broken her ribs on the battlefield, and the injury was not yet healed. has to take the risk of staying, even if she doesn't have love for him in her heart, she just feels that this affection is enough.

"You can't stay here for long, those people will go and come back."

Liu Yu really regretted that he didn't exercise well this time, he was used to being lazy on weekdays, and his body had no foundation, and his legs were weak after being hungry for a few days. Xu Xuanzhu is not much better, he is still bleeding after being injured, and his rib bones are being pulled, and he will close his eyes in pain when he takes a step.

"each other!"

Liu Yu said a word, regardless of etiquette, and directly held Xu Xuanzhu's shoulder, Xu Xuanzhu's body was shocked, and he didn't care about "whether men and women give or receive kisses" in a hurry, and the two helped each other out of the door. As far as the eye can see, there is only a dilapidated deserted village.

The sweep of the Turkic cavalry this time caused the people of many villages in the north and south of Tongguan to flee for refuge, and there was a chance that people would not be able to return after leaving their homeland, and the whole village was so deserted.

The road is northwest to southeast, needless to say that Liu Yu can also guess that to the southeast is to the direction of the Huai River, and to the northwest is to Guanzhong.

Xu Xuanzhu looked at Liu Yu, everything listened to his ideas, Liu Yu pointed to the guide and said, "Go to the wild." ”

Whether it is to the northwest or southeast, as long as you follow the road, it is easy to be caught up by the Huai Wang people led by Liu Liniang, and although it adds additional risks to the wilderness, you can hide.

The night was very quiet, and as soon as the two of them entered the grass, they heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance from far to near.

Directly south was not full of weeds, and there was a hut under the cover of trees. In such a hurry, the grass is not a good place to hide, so I had to go into the thatched hut first, as soon as I entered the door, I felt a strong smell of dust, the house was surrounded by four walls, and there was only one "cabinet" surrounded by wooden planks to hide, Liu Yue first helped Xu Xuanzhu in, retreated by himself, and closed the plank.

The two sat close together, unable to see each other clearly, trying to calm their breathing.

The sound of horses' hooves stopped on the official road not far from the hut, and a man asked, "Childe, why do you want to turn back?" Boss Yi, they may not be able to deal with that group of girls! ”

"Don't understand this? Childe was afraid of their plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. ”

"Childe! The coffin we brought out was found in the house. ”

Then the sound of horses' hooves went in the direction of the hut from which they had come.

Everything returned to calm again, Liu Yue knew that this calm was short-lived, Liu Liniang and they found that no one in the coffin would definitely search around, and it would be difficult to fly at that time. But at this time, being able to be with someone he loved, there is also an indescribable peace in his heart.

People often do not fear death per se, but only the loneliness and sadness when people are about to die.

"If you refused to marry, why did you risk your life to save me?"

People are dying, Liu Yu wants to know the answer. Although the answer may not be what he wants to hear.

"I ......" Xu Xuanzhu at this time did not have the arrogance of being dominant on the battlefield, and said, "I never thought about getting married, and I didn't want to hurt anyone, especially after knowing that the person in Lu Dao was you, let alone not." ”

Liu Yu smiled bitterly, what a logical sentence, what is "especially knowing that the person is you", is it someone else she married?

"For what?"

There are only three simple words, but Xu Xuanzhu seems to have a lot of courage to squeeze out a few words: "Because...... I like you. ”

These are three words that make Liu Yu feel complicated, a woman who regrets marriage and rejects the woman who made him extremely disappointed but riskes death to save him, and a woman who says "I like you" when the two may be waiting for death, an answer that he has been looking forward to for a long time but can't cry or laugh.

Liu Yu also thought about it before, even if Xu Xuanzhu married obediently, it would be good for the two to cultivate a relationship after marriage, but he never thought that he was not married yet, and he would be unwilling to entrust her for life because she liked herself.

"Then why did you walk away so resolutely by the river that day?"

Xu Xuanzhu had already said the deepest hidden words in his heart, and the rest didn't feel ashamed: "That day Chu'er brought back your painting, I had your shadow in my heart, and later when I learned that the person who saved me was you, my heart couldn't let go." I never dared to expect to have relatives, because I would hurt everyone around me, and I didn't want you to marry someone you didn't want to marry. ”

Liu Yue understood a little, it turned out that the invisible gap between him and Xu Xuanzhu was Xu Xuanzhu's psychological defense line. For a woman who lost her loved ones since she was a child and was said to be a bad woman, her low self-esteem and autism have made her think that everyone is disgusted with her.

Liu Yu couldn't help but want to scold herself for being stupid, she talked and laughed with herself by the river that day, indicating that she still had a good impression of him. Later, even though he knew his identity and left in a hurry, the most reluctant person couldn't help but look back at him. How can a ruthless person look back?

"If I had no intention of you, how could I have seen you in danger on the battlefield that day, and went to save you like crazy. People who have lived for two lifetimes think that they can see everything, but they can't let go, just like an old friend of mine said, I am too persistent. It is not that Lang is ruthless and concubine is unintentional between you and me, it is precisely that Lang has a concubine and is also intentional, but the other party does not know what to do, but he still has to blindly consider each other. Isn't that tragic, you say? Liu Yu smiled, and then his tone became firm, "Don't worry, this time, even if the Heavenly King Laozi comes, I won't give up on you again." ”

Xu Xuanzhu didn't expect to get an almost promised answer from Liu Yu at this time, although he couldn't see each other clearly in the dark, he could still feel each other's affection. Liu Yu stretched out his hand, grabbed the trembling Xu Xuanzhu's shoulder, and slowly hugged her body to his side. The two of them leaned together, enjoying a moment of warmth.

"Childe, that kid hasn't eaten or drunk for a few days, and he can't go far if he is carried. We follow the road and chase it is easy to catch up. ”

Liu Liniang snorted coldly: "Where to chase?" Southeast, Northwest, you show the way! ”

"This ......," the man hesitated, "we didn't meet along the way, we should be going southwest." ”

Liu Liniang sneered: "That kid can bury tens of thousands of ferocious iron wolf guards in an unknown way, and can you still make your stupid guess about his fancy intestines?" Searching around, maybe he didn't run away at all, and he was hiding to listen to the excitement! ”

Devil! This is Liu Yu's most intuitive feeling. If Liu Liniang wasn't so smart, it would be nice to chase people out.

"There are a few more rooms in the south, go in and search them!"

Liu Liniang's voice approached. As the door opened, Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu in his arms calmed down.

"Ahem! Cough! "Everyone came in and choked on the dust and coughed.

"How long has this house been unoccupied!" A man complained, "I don't even have a decent piece of furniture, and I still say that the people of the Holy Son of Heaven are rich in clothes, phew!" ”

"It smells of blood, and there's a few planks over there."

Liu Yu's heart tensed slightly, and the footsteps gradually approached, and even Xu Xuanzhu in his arms raised his head to look at him, waiting for the final result to come.

"Squeak!" A piece of wood was lifted, and light leaked in, and it turned out that it was dawn outside.

Liu Liniang sideways into the small half of her face, when she saw Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu, she was stunned at first, but when she saw the two people hugging each other, she smiled again, and the smile was meaningful, not a sneer or a sneer, but like a sister who saw her younger brother with a heartfelt comforting smile.

In short, this smile made Liu Yu not understand very well.

"Not here." Liu Liniang retreated and shouted, "It should be going to the southeast, if you can't catch people before the officers and soldiers, you will fall short." Don't take the horses of the dead and wounded with you, travel lightly, don't delay any longer! ”

Liu Liniang's words were very good, she said that no one would come forward to check if she didn't. The group went out the door, and the footsteps were followed by the sound of horses' hooves, which gradually faded away, and finally disappeared.

"She didn't see us just now?"

Xu Xuanzhu with a puzzled face, and Liu Yu helped out, leaving a "dead and wounded" horse on the side of the road, as if Liu Liniang specially left for them, immediately there were not only horse whips and weapons, but even dry food and water.

"Let's go."

Liu Yu helped Xu Xuan to build a horse, and he also jumped up, and the two rode together, not only like jade in their arms, but also grinding their ears and temples, not like they were in a hurry, but as if they were in love.

Xu Xuanzhu was also surprisingly demure, although the reins were held together, the center of gravity of his body was completely leaning on Liu Yu's arms. Let Liu Yu hold her body in his arms.

Along the way, Liu Yu couldn't help but think about Liu Liniang's meaningful smile, as a spy and spy of King Huai, it was her mission to work for her master, but she could give up her principles for a man who had never spoken coldly to her or even bothered to speak. Could it be that this is a real Liu Liniang?

On the wilderness of dawn, many torches could be seen in the distance, and Xu Xuanzhu said a little excitedly: "It's the reinforcements of the daughter army...... Ah, it hurts! The excitement touched the wound, but it didn't show too painful expression, on the contrary, there was a little shame on his face.

"Drive!"

Liu spurred the horse more and more, he shouldn't have thought about Liu Liniang anymore, but the image that should have been excluded from his mind, like a fusion of angels and demons, was remembered in the deepest part of his mind.
