Chapter 35: Shock

On this day and night, whenever she saw Du Bai's face, she would involuntarily recall a scene in her mind that would never be forgotten.

In the darkness and loneliness, he stretched out a warm hand that pulled her out of the boundless despair, giving him the security he needed most.

On this day and night, whenever she couldn't stand the sleepiness and fell asleep, I don't know how many times she dreamed that Du Bai really couldn't wake up, and every time she woke up with tears in the corners of her eyes, she hurriedly looked back and saw him on the bed whose chest was still undulating, but she was never able to sleep peacefully, so she simply held on until she took a short nap just now, but was immediately awakened by Du Bai.

Du Bai just gently stroked her shoulder, but suddenly felt that the breath of the person in his arms gradually calmed down. He looked down, but was a little amused and a little touched to see that she had fallen asleep in his arms.

From his point of view, the light eyelashes between his closed eyes trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth had a sweet smile, as beautiful as a butterfly, which made him unbearable to wake up.

He got up, gently put Su Wanmiao on the bed, and folded the quilt for her, while he himself walked to the table, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.

Suddenly, the burning dry mouth just now was relieved a little, and even the body seemed to have recovered a little, but there was still an incomprehensible soreness on the body, although it did not affect the movement, but it was also very uncomfortable.

His clothes hung beside the bed, and he put on his own clothes rarely, and combed them in front of the mirror quite unaccustomedly, although his face was still morbidly pale, but it was still difficult to hide the handsomeness of his own appearance.

"This is probably the little white face......

Du Bai smiled a little self-deprecatingly.

Looking back, Su Wanmiao was still sleeping soundly, he pushed open the door and walked out.

Outside the door is a corridor, where people from the Su family and a few strange guests pass by. This should be an inn or something, and he is staying in a guest room on the third floor at this time.

Coincidentally, outside the door, Ying'er was carefully walking over to this side with a basin of water, and when she saw Du Bai at the door, she was stunned, and then her face was full of surprise: "Uncle!" Uncle, you're finally awake! ”

Except for Su Wanmiao, Ying'er and the others didn't know what kind of terrible monster they had faced, they all thought that he was just too weak and fainted because of the rain.

Du Bai nodded and smiled: "My body is fine, how can I not wake up!" ”

"Uncle...... You don't know yet, but Mademoiselle is so worried about you, she doesn't have an appetite for the food we brought you when you are unconscious. And we have to come in person, and we maids can't get involved......"

Ying'er seemed to be inviting credit for Su Wanmiao and said carefully, but turned around and asked suspiciously, "Hey, where is Miss?" ”

Du Bai's body just blocked her vision, so she didn't see Su Wanmiao who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

"She's resting, and it's been hard for her all day and night."

Du Bai sighed lightly, feeling that the fetters in his heart were a little heavier.

Ying'er nodded, and after entering the room lightly and putting the basin of water, she hurriedly called Xiao Er to come over and prepare some light side dishes to fill Du Bai's stomach.

It's no wonder that people don't go hungry day and night.

Du Bai was led by Ying'er to sit in the lobby of the inn, and even the tea was poured for him by herself, as if he had returned to the previous style of the rich young master, everything was so calm, and the gods and ghosts before seemed to be just illusions.

“…… At that time, it was Uncle Chen who first discovered that the eldest lady was carrying you towards the convoy, so everyone hurried to help......"

"Then we hurried out of that strange place, and drove all night to the town......"

"It's just that the eldest lady has not been at ease, so she has been delayed here for an extra day. But now that you've woken up, Uncle, we'll be able to set off again! ”

"The coachman said that this place is about a day's journey from the old man......"

When Du Bai was eating, although Ying'er didn't eat, her mouth was not idle, and she finally found a suitable person to talk to after being depressed for a long time, and told him everything that happened after he fell into a coma.

Du Bai was thoughtful.

It seems that after he fell unconscious, the so-called fake river god did not continue to chase after him, and he may indeed have been blinded by himself. But it's also possible that the other person is restricted from leaving that particular area.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately grabbed Su Wanmiao to force himself to go back.

Thinking about it like this, he was a little curious about the other party again. But it was obviously impossible for him to venture back again.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of cars and horses stopping outside the door of the inn, and then more than a dozen strong men dressed in black suits poured into the inn.

Du Bai casually glanced at it, and saw that the horse-drawn wagons outside the inn that were being led by his subordinates to graze were piled up with boxes of goods wrapped in white cloth, and he probably guessed the identity of this group of people.

"The dart board that escorts the goods?"

He didn't really pay much attention to this, and he was about to get up and leave when his stomach was almost full, but when some of the words spoken loudly by the group of people while drinking reached his ears, he made him move a little and not hurry away.

"What a bad luck! I should have arrived at the predetermined place to change people to rest......" A big man drank a bowl of spirits, and when the wine swelled, he smashed the table angrily, and said unhappily, "But this flood came too coincidentally, so we had to take a detour and delay our trip for another day!" ”

"Yes...... We're fine, but Suwon Village is a pity......" The other chimed in, sighing slightly.

Du Bai's heart moved, and he suddenly asked, "A few big brothers, are you talking about the Suwon Village by the Suwon River?" ”

"Exactly!"

Although it was a little strange how to talk suddenly, most of the people walking the rivers and lakes were bold, and the strong man didn't think much about it and immediately replied, "We didn't expect that there was a flood over there, so we had to make a detour to pass through here......

"That's a coincidence." Du Bai knew in his heart that the village over there really couldn't survive, it had been flooded, and this was probably the evil done by the river god, so he inevitably felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he sighed lightly and said, "We only passed there two days ago, but I didn't expect it to ...... every other day."

"This little master, aren't you talking in a dream......"

Hearing Du Bai's words, the other party looked at each other strangely, as if looking at him a little strangely, and said, "We heard that Suwon Village was flooded as early as a month ago. How could you have passed through there two days ago......"

"Smack......

The chopsticks in Du Bai's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and the shock on his face was beyond measure. It's just that he quickly reined in his mood, but his hands were still trembling slightly, indicating that he was not at peace in his heart.

"A month ago?!"
