It has been half a month since Zhong Ye left Beijing, and he followed Wei Yining's trail all the way to Saiwai.

The people in this place all live a nomadic life and have no fixed residence, so it is naturally more difficult to inquire about Wei Yining's whereabouts.

Fortunately, Zhong Ye is not the first time to come to Saiwai, and after several visits, he has basically determined the general direction of Wei Yining.

He knew it was dangerous, so he didn't dare to delay.

Every time I went to a high ground, I would stand on horseback and look into the distance, but I only saw the reckless wasteland, and there was no shadow of Wei Yining.

Of course, Zhong Ye was anxious, and his grievances were vented on the wolves when he had nowhere to vent, and those wolves who encountered him were considered to have suffered, except for a few who ran fast and escaped for their lives, the rest were all dead in the wilderness.

On this day, he had arrived in the hinterland of the grassland, and a herdsman here said that a few days ago a young boy had bought a few hunting dogs from him and went to the wolf plains.

Zhong Ye asked for the direction, didn't even bother to drink saliva, stepped on the horse and left.

It was past noon when he came to the wolf field, and he saw a large scorched earth with charred corpses, horses, dogs, and wolves, gnawed to pieces, and scattered with a few human bones.

Zhong Ye was not dizzy, and the scene in front of him made him tremble.

"Yining ------!!!" Zhong Ye shouted, "Where are you?!" ”

All that answered him was the whirring of the wind.

"I'm going to kill you!" Zhong Ye yelled frantically on his horse, although he didn't see it in person, he could also surmise that Wei Yining had a fierce battle with the wolves here.

In the end, he had to set the fire as a last resort.

Zhong Ye suddenly felt that he had killed too few wolves along the way, and none of these beasts should be left!

Several wolves in the distance probed their brains to look at this side, Zhong Ye's eyes narrowed, and the next moment he rushed over like arrows from the string.

Pity the wolves who died in a different place in a moment, and only one cowardly one ran away.

Zhong Ye chased after him and ran over a mountain with the wolf, but when he was about to make a move, he saw two black spots in the distance. Without hesitation, he rushed over, it was a man and a dog.

When Zhong Ye saw Wei Yining, she was only wearing a cotton robe, and the big sweater outside was missing. Covered in scars and embarrassed, his bloodstained hands held the darkiron dagger he had given him.

The eyes that were originally clear were bloodshot at the moment, and the lips were scorched and crumbling.

"Yining ......" Zhong Ye dismounted and came to her, and he didn't even dare to call her loudly, because Wei Yining was so weak at this time, like a porcelain doll that would shatter at the touch of a button.

Wei Yining's spirit was already in a trance, in order to fake her death to deceive those people, she really went around the ghost gate.

That day, if she hadn't cut open the horse's belly and hid it in it, she would have been burned to death by fire if she hadn't been bitten to death by wolves.

Fortunately, there was a nameless corpse on the grassland, although it had been gnawed and broken by the wolves, but it should be able to get away with it after putting on her coat and throwing it in the fire, and after being charred.

But Wei Yining was also exhausted, if it weren't for a loyal hound following her, she was afraid that she would also die in the belly of a wolf at this time.

"Grandpa Zhong......" Wei Yining thought that she was hallucinating, and the reason why Zhong Ye appeared in front of her was because he stood in front of her every time she encountered danger in the past.

"Yining, don't be afraid, I'm here." Zhong Ye stepped forward and hugged Wei Yining in his arms, feeling so distressed that he couldn't breathe.

Wei Yining grinned, blood immediately oozed from her dry lips, and there was a white light in front of her eyes, which was a precursor to fainting.

"Grandpa Zhong...... Take me ...... Hide it...... Hide your ......," Wei Yining muttered, and then passed out.

At this time, it was already dark, and Zhong Ye knew that he had to get out of here as soon as possible.

He unbuttoned his shirt and wrapped Wei Yining in his arms, his figure was so tall, and he was protected by a cloak, no one would find out that he was carrying someone in his arms when he rode on the horse.

Zhong Ye also put the loyal dog in the blanket on his back, and walked more than 200 miles before finding a herdsman's house.

The people here were hospitable, and took the initiative to give up a yurt room for Zhong Ye to live in, and the hostess carefully prepared hot water and dinner for him.

Zhong Ye didn't care about eating, so he unbuttoned his shirt and put Wei Yining on the quilt first, checking if there were any serious injuries on her body.

Although there are differences between men and women, and Zhong Ye has never thought of offending Wei Yining, but now that the situation is special, he has to put these things aside.

Fortunately, although there were many wounds on Wei Yining's body, there were no fatal places, so Zhong Ye cleaned her wounds with hot water and a hand towel and applied medicine.

Wei Yining was having a fever, his whole body was as hot as coals, and he was unconscious.

Zhong Ye fed her a lot of warm water, took a pill to clear heat and detoxify, and wiped her with a cloth towel, so she was busy for a few hours before Wei Yining's body temperature dropped slightly.

Zhong Ye treated the dog's wound again, bandaged it, washed his hands and went to eat the meal that had cooled down.

This night, Wei Yining slept very unsteadily, although she was unconscious, she was always frightened, and the dagger Zhong Ye in her hand had been put away, afraid that she would hurt herself by mistake.

But when Wei Yining was in his arms, he instinctively held the little wooden figure he had been holding in his arms, and held it tightly, never letting go no matter what.

Zhong Ye had no choice but to let her hold it.

"Hongan ......" Wei Yining murmured bitterly: "Hongan ......"

Whenever this happened, Zhong Ye would gently pat her back to soothe, and Wei Yining shrunk into a ball, helplessly sad.

Wei Yining's appearance reminded Zhong Ye of the first time he saw her, curled up in the tomb of Wangchun Mountain to warm the grave of his parents, and she was so helpless and pitiful at that time.

Zhong Ye took her into his arms and let her pill on his chest, and the yurt was not warm at night, so Zhong Ye used his body temperature to warm Wei Yining.

The night passed, Wei Yining was still asleep, Zhong Ye reached out and tried her forehead, it was not so hot.

He remembered that Wei Yining told him to hide her before she fainted, so he didn't let the owner of the yurt know about Wei Yining's existence.

He also wrapped Wei Yining in his arms again like he did when he came yesterday, and he was wearing a cloak on his head.

As soon as he cleaned up, the host went outside and asked him if he was up and it was time for breakfast.

After Zhong Ye had breakfast here, he thanked him diligently, and wanted to take out the silver in return, but he was angrily rejected by the host, the herdsmen on the grassland are hospitable, and they will never say that the guests have money, of course Zhong Ye also knows, so he is not reluctant. Say goodbye to the master and get on the horse, and continue to set off in the direction of the capital.

He still has half a month left on vacation, and he has to return to the capital before the end.

And Wei Yining has to follow him back, both he and Wei Yining have clear grievances, and Wei Hongan's feud must be doubled.

But the most important thing now is to take care of Wei Yining's body, she has been unconscious, maybe instinctively she doesn't want to wake up.

The reality was too painful for her to bear.
