Yun Xi paused, glanced back at her, sighed, and moved his arm slightly, as if he wanted to rub it on her head. But remembering the past, he hurriedly took advantage of her inattention, quickly put his hands behind his back, and stopped this thought.

"No need to say I'm sorry."

He walked ahead, but slowed down. Xiao Yezi followed behind him, following in his shadow. He looked back from time to time, for fear that she wouldn't be able to keep up, so he slowed down a little. The two of them returned to the cave one after the other.

Yun Xi changed the clothes for Xiao Yezi, then took out a bunch of bottles and cans from the package, and ordered Xiao Ye to eat it. Xiao Yezi saw that the back of his hand was full of scars, and he didn't know if he was bitten by some insects, so he thought that it was the injury he suffered when he was looking for an antidote for himself. She silently swallowed the medicine, and seeing that he still ignored herself, she had to take the initiative to step forward and say softly, "Thank you, and find an antidote for me." ”

"No need to say thank you."

After living in this cave for so long, she learned the location of the cave's supplies, and hurriedly opened the cupboard to find the medicine box, and said tentatively: "Helper, you see that there are so many wounds on your hands, if you don't clean them......"

"No need for you, there is Lingxuan."

Ling Xuanben stood aside and watched, and suddenly said: "I suddenly remembered that it was time to cook, Sister Xiaoyezi, the helper will trouble you here." ”

After Ling Xuan finished speaking, he left, throwing Xiao Yezi and Yunxi in the cave.

Yun Xi snorted: "...... It's getting more and more presumptuous. ”

Xiao Yezi was busy playing a round and smiled: "She's really busy these days, and she has to take care of me, she's already very tired." You don't blame her. She put the medicine box on the table and smiled, "I eat and live here for nothing, you can let me do something, and I will feel a little more at ease." ”

"So ......," Yun Xi said softly, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Xiao Yezi gently took his hand and put it on the table. was suddenly held by her, and Yunxi's heart jumped suddenly. But no one could see the change in his face, only he secretly complained in his heart - how could he be like a child, startled.

Sensing a slight tremor in Yun Xi's hand, Xiao Yezi raised his eyes and glanced at Yun Xi, and he also felt a little touched. After such a long time, she didn't feel it when she held Yunxi's hand again, after all, there were indelible memories between the two people. Maybe it was because the farce on the dock made her relax, maybe it was because Yunxi didn't force her to do things today, maybe ...... It's not the same anyway. She looked at Yunxi at this moment, and no longer felt that he was as unattainable as in the past.

Maybe...... She really forgave him, so she felt like this, right?

She picked up a cotton swab and delicately applied medicine to his knuckles, looking down at his hand. It turned out to be a hand like jade, but because of her, it became like this. She couldn't help it, so she bandaged him more carefully. She lowered her head and didn't realize that he had been staring at her, and there was tenderness in the depths of his eyes.

After the bandage, she grinned, "Oh, okay." ”

He withdrew his hand and saw her smiling happily, and just wanted to smile back with a gentle smile, but he realized that something was wrong, and promptly suppressed the tenderness that almost overflowed, and said expressionlessly: "Well, thank you." Seeing that he was indifferent, Xiao Yezi didn't want to say anything, so he only smiled slightly and lowered his head to clean up the medical equipment.

At this time, Ling Xuan came to report: "Yang Tianwang and Yun Shaoxia, please meet." ”

Yang Yizhao? The hand that was being cleaned up didn't listen, and Xiao Yezi dropped a bottle of gold sore medicine.

Yunxi glanced at her and said lightly: "He's here to see you." There you go. ”

See her? Yunxi allowed him to come and see her? Are you sure? She smiled and wanted to leave all her chores and run out. But she still suppressed this mood, lowered her head and cleaned up the mess on the ground, and then bowed to Yunxi in a panic and ran out.

She ran all the way to Shanglingyan Wharf, and saw Yang Yizhao leaning on a flower tree that had just drawn an arrow, dressed in red, with eyebrows and eyes as before, dazzling. Seeing her coming, Yang Yizhao pulled the corners of his mouth and slowly opened his arms. Xiao Yezi screamed, laughed and rushed over, crashing into his arms. At this moment, he was reborn after the catastrophe, he hugged her, and felt endless joy and joy, even the bare flowers and trees looked purple and red, and the beauty was extraordinary.

"I miss you so much." He lowered his head, ignored the guards around him, and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

Xiao Yezi was tickled by him, her heart was wronged and caring, and she cried out: "You...... Are you feeling well? ”

"Okay, don't worry." Yang Yizhao gently hugged her waist, smiled and pinched her chin and rubbed it. He originally had a stomach full of things to say, but when he saw her like this, he couldn't help but feel nostalgia and pity, so he only gently hugged her, stretched out his hand and gently stroked her long hair, and never spoke. It wasn't until he saw that Xiao Yezi had cried enough and gradually calmed down that he teased in a joking tone: "I'm afraid you are the only one who has cried so unceremoniously since the establishment of the Heavenly King Gang." ”

"The Messenger of the Lamp?" Xiao Ye was confused, "Me? ”

Yang Yizhao nodded: "Just this morning, the Ling Xuan Acting Gang Leader informed the whole gang and abolished the original system of ten close servants and ten musketeers. Gang Leader Xiao only retained a lantern messenger and a sword-wielding messenger, and his status and power were above the Four Heavenly Kings, and he directly obeyed the orders of the gang leader. In this way, the two messengers are equivalent to the personal representatives of the helper, and the meaning is different. Just now I have already told you about the candidate for the envoy of the lantern, and as for the messenger with the sword, Yun Huan will replace Ren Qingquan as the envoy. ”

"What about you?" Xiao Yezi asked anxiously, she felt guilty, after all, she still took the initiative to let Yang Yizhao give up the idea of her ancestral business, and she owed a little bit of a debt to it. Yang Yizhao touched his head: "I, thanks to you, I am already a free man." ”

"What about the Leaver Pavilion? Who cares? Xiao Yezi asked.

"With Chai Song, you don't have to worry." Yang Yizhao smiled, "Actually, I wasn't suitable to be this pavilion master. has dominated this position for so many years, and it is time to give way to Xian. ”

"It's all because I came up with a blind idea that your ancestral business is gone...... I'm sorry. Xiao Yezi lowered his head and said guiltily.

Suddenly, she was tightly screened by Yang Yizhao and embedded in her arms.

Yang Yizhao put his chin on the top of her head and said seriously: "If a woman risks her life to save a man, and this man can't give up these things outside his body for her, how can he be qualified to bear this feeling?" Besides, I know that you made this suggestion just to keep me safe from strife. At that time, your life was in danger, and you still wanted to seek a way out for me, and exchange a title and the treasure of a house for my freedom and peace for the rest of my life. I can't be moved yet, so how can I resent you? ”

When he said this, he sighed: "And I do owe something to Gang Master Xiao. He cut me off my job and asked me to go to southern Xinjiang to do work, which can be regarded as a punishment for being late. ”

"Southern Xinjiang?" Xiao Yezi was puzzled, "Why did you go to Southern Xinjiang?" Where is that? ”

Looking at her puzzled and confused look, Yang Yizhao touched her head dotingly and said with a smile: "...... Well, how to say it? It's just south of the Leaver Pavilion. Not far. ”

"Not far?" She grabbed his lower arms with both hands, forced him to stand upright, and put a look of doubt on his face, "Then according to the horse, how many days will it take?" ”

"If you want to go there, you can't ride a horse." He scratched her nose and looked thoughtful, "You'll have to cross the sea by boat." ”

"Crossing the sea?!" The little leaf almost jumped.

She knew that Yunxi would definitely send Yang Yizhao out, but she didn't expect it to be the distance from the ends of the world, she thought that she could reunite at this moment, but who knew that it would suddenly become a life separation.

Her eyes were red, but her hands were clenched tighter, and tears were pouring down: "Then can you take me with you?" ”

"Silly girl...... You are a messenger of the lamp, how can you go to the end of the world with me as a free man......" Yang Yizhao's eyes were hot, and he smiled hurriedly, "But don't worry." As long as I achieve something over there, I'll be able to come back and pick you up. I'm waiting for you to marry me, silly boy. ”

Xiao Yezi cried even more fiercely, she lowered her head, sobbed and asked, "...... I'll miss you then, what should I do? ”

Yang Yizhao lifted his sleeve to wipe her tears, and his eyes were red, but he still smiled and let Xiao Yezi lean on his heart. Xiao Yezi heard his heartbeat, one bang, one bang, one bang and one sound, fast and powerful. She looked up at him. He lowered his head and smiled at her, "Then you find a quiet place and listen to your heartbeat." No matter where I am, my heart is beating with it. ”

“…… When are you leaving? ”

Yang Yizhao said: "The day after tomorrow, the handover with Yunhuan Chai Song is clear, and it will be ......" Before the words fell, he had already been hugged by the neck of the small leaf that pounced up. I only heard her snuggle up to his chest, crying, and swearing as firmly as an oath: "You wait for me, you wait for me, I will definitely find a way to let you return as soon as possible!" I want you to take me with me to the Western Regions, to the Northland, to the East China Sea, to all the places I haven't been! Even if you've been there before, you'll have to take me again! I'm going to dance with you on the side of the road to earn money, and I'm going to learn how to draw fakes with you, and I'm going to do a lot of things! You must wait for me honestly, don't cut off contact with me, don't fool around with other beautiful women, and don't fool around with beautiful men! Yang Yizhao, did you hear that? ”

Yang Yizhao was amused by her promise, and a smile appeared in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows like peach blossoms. He leaned over her ear and bit her earlobe gently: "Then I remember, on the shore of Dongting Lake, someone owes me a lot of money, and it is estimated that she will have to sell her art for a lifetime before she can pay it off." ”

"And your Yujue, even if you mortgage my dowry, if you dare to ......" Before Xiao Yezi's words fell, Yang Yizhao had already lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

In an instant, heaven and earth had become nothing, only his heat and her tenderness remained.

Yang Yizhao kissed and still didn't forget to laugh a few words: "At that time, I refused to occupy the mountain as the king, and now I regret it, right?" Xiao Yezi twisted him, and responded more enthusiastically to this beautiful moment.

I don't know how long it took, but only to hear a cough, the two of them returned to the world. Xiao Yezi blushed, hid in Yang Yizhao's arms, and peeked over, but Yun Huan didn't know when he found this place. Yang Yizhao hugged Xiao Yezi, but it was very natural, and said with a smile: "I can hand over this little thing to you, you take good care of her for me, there is one hair missing, I will come back and blow your head." ”

Yun Huan's face turned slightly red, and he snorted arrogantly: "One day, you can come back and do it yourself." I can't handle this kind of goods. ”

"Whoever is the goods, you are the goods." Xiao Yezi snorted and threw out a big white eye.

"How do you talk to Master?" Yun Huan also gave her a roll of the eyes, and then she returned to her normal shape and said to Yang Yizhao, "It's not too early, let's go." ”

Xiao Yezi grabbed his hand and said eagerly: "You wait for me!" ”

Yang Yizhao glanced down at Xiao Yezi, and reluctantly kissed again, then let go of his hand, bent over and whispered in her ear: "You have to wait for me, my ...... Lady-to-be. ”

Xiao Yezi nodded firmly, and watched the two of them get on the boat and go farther and farther.

Sending Yang Yizhao away, Xiao Yezi was still nostalgic, thinking about Yang Yizhao leaving for a while, he couldn't help but shed a few tears, and for a while he thought of his gentle reins before leaving, and a heart in love throbbed like the first love. She thought about it, but she forgot to go back to the cave to do business, and walked up and down the beach alone, and before she knew it, she was strolling until evening.

Ignoring the slippery water, she sat on the rocks in the mudflats, letting the lake wet her red dress. She touched the corner of her skirt and smiled. Since she went to Yingxiaju, Yang Yizhao has bought a lot of dresses for her as a replacement, all of which are red, and the red dress on her body is also one of them. I still remember when I was shopping for clothes, Xiao Yezi asked him what color looked good, and Yang Yizhao decisively chose red. She also asked why, and Yang Yizhao smiled and kissed her: "Little fool, this is the color of the wedding dress." She smiled and acquiesced to his explanation. After all, this red was also the color he wore when he first saw her, so how could she not like it.

Holding his face and looking at the sunset on the horizon, he fantasized about Yang Yizhao's return to his courtship, and when he thought of it, he couldn't help but sigh, and his face was as red as the twilight clouds on the horizon. She leaned down, picked up a red shell, and threw it towards the lake. Just a few pops, and the shells were like frisbees, paddling across the water level of the lake, splashing a few times.

She leaned over again, pinched two dolls with the soft mud on the beach, and picked them up one in one hand and compared them for a long time. The two dolls seemed to have life in her hands, and a courtship drama was staged in her dubbing.

“…… Little Xianggong, are you willing to marry this girl and be the husband of this girl? ”

“…… Little lady, aren't you forcibly robbing your relatives? Since ancient times, the husband has been the wife, and you have reversed the rules and respected the woman, and you must not. ”

“…… You call me a lady anymore, aren't you my husband? ”

“…… The husband is the husband and the husband, which means that the husband is the wife, and this is the king of the monarch. ”

“…… No, no, no, the king of the husband is the king of the gentleman. A humble gentleman, such as cutting and learning, such as pondering, is what it means. ”

“…… The little lady is only eight buckets high, and she admits defeat in the next. ”

“…… In this way, the little minister and go home with me, let's worship heaven and earth and go into the cave room. ”

“…… Yes, sis. ”

As her fingers flew, two little clay figurines kissed each other and turned into a cloud of wet mud.

"Poof......" It seems that someone can't help but laugh behind his back.

Who? She was startled and jerked her head back. But I saw Yunxi in a plain purple robe, standing not far behind her. In the twilight, his pale face was reflected in the color of red, but it did not affect the touching warmth between his eyebrows and eyes. Her face flushed - the scene of self-inflicted affection just now, wouldn't it be enough to close Yunxi's eyes? She hurriedly threw the wet mud in her hand behind her back, stood up in a panic, and muttered, "...... How did the helper come. ”

"I've walked back and forth a few times, and you haven't noticed me." Yunxi said lightly, "It can be seen how deep you are in the play." ”

“…… I was lazy, I was wrong. Xiao Yezi flattened his mouth.

Yunxi snorted: "It's really lazy." But...... Never mind. He walked to the edge of the tidal flat, faced the lake, and smiled: "People can't always be tense, there must be a moment of leisure." ”

The breeze swept by, and the green silk with the tide also fluttered in the wind.

Xiao Yezi was surprised to find that the cyan silk on his head was gone, and it was replaced by a red braided rope to tie his hair.

"You...... The head rope you tie your head ......"

Yunxi glanced back at her and said lightly: "Oh, the head rope is old, so it will be replaced with a new one." ”

It seems that he has let go of Ren Qingmei. The corners of her lips twitched, and she smiled slightly: "Red with purple, it's pretty good, much better than green." ”

Yunxi turned his back, Xiao Yezi couldn't see the expression on his face, and only heard him say lightly: "It's very good-looking." ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "Recently, the war has been tight, and tomorrow I will set off for Cloud City, and you, as the messenger of the lamp, need to go together." ”

Xiao Yezi responded: "Well, okay." ”

He turned his head to stare at her, "Why don't you ask why?" ”

"Didn't you make me a messenger of the lantern...... Work only, why ask? Xiao Yezi was a little puzzled.

Yunxi glanced at her and said lightly: "You have this awareness, it's good." He turned his back and said, "Although I have made you the messenger of the lamp, it is only a name." You don't have to serve me in the same way that you used to serve, and you don't think that you will gain any power because of the reward. You are just a hostage for me to control Yang Yizhao, a tool, do you understand? ”

"Yes." Xiao Ye answered.

Yunxi couldn't help but look back at her again, and saw that she was very well-behaved standing in place, and couldn't help but feel soft, but her mouth was still cold and hard: "...... I won't take care of you for some reason, and no one else will, you know? ”

"Understood." Xiao Ye answered.

“…… It's good to understand. Yun Xi flicked his sleeves and turned to leave. Xiao Yezi hurriedly followed.

——In order to welcome Yang Yizhao back as soon as possible, she will definitely work hard. For Yang Yizhao, but also for himself.
