Jiang Ying'er was locked in her room.

There was no light around and the room was cramped. She hugged herself quietly and curled up in the corner of the bed.

Jiang Ying'er's eyes had been swollen with tears long ago, and now she couldn't shed tears. Her heart was dry, and her expression was numb.

Every day, when the meal arrived, her mother would bring her food, which was much better than what she usually ate, but she no longer had the slightest appetite.

In the dark, she couldn't tell the time, only by the time of the delivery.

Sometimes Mrs. Wang would come and discuss the dowry with her parents, and she listened to their voices of discussion, and her heart became colder and colder.

Another day, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, she thought it was Mrs. Wang again, but when the man spoke, it was a voice that was very familiar to her.

- It's Qin Zhao.

Jiang Ying'er's heart trembled, and she immediately got off the bed and came to the door. In such a hurry, she fell out of bed and broke her knee.

Jiang Ying'er couldn't care about this, her ears were close to the door, and she listened carefully.

Hearing Qin Zhao ask her parents why she had disappeared recently, she had tears in her eyes and desperately slammed the door with her hands, making a sound.

Qin Zhao also heard it, and he seemed to want to come in and have a look, but was stopped by his father.

What they said again, Jiang Ying'er didn't really hear it. I only knew that in the end, Qin Zhao's voice also disappeared.

He left.

He doesn't want to be himself.

Jiang Ying'er felt sore in her heart, her eyes were already dry, and for some reason she was bleeding water again. She felt that she seemed to have shed all the tears of her life during this time.

She was not in good health, so she was tired and nerve-wracking, and her body couldn't hold it. Her consciousness grew more and more blurred, and she eventually fell into a deep sleep.

In the dream, it seems that it was the first time I met Qin Zhao.

At that time, he was not very old with himself, and he sat alone by the stream. This is her rare leisure time that belongs to her alone.

Don't take care of her brother, don't pay attention to those endless trivial things, only at that moment, she belongs to herself.

When Qin Zhao appeared behind her, she had already noticed it. I saw the boy throw a snake in front of her, and she felt bored and funny in her heart, and stepped on it fiercely. Jiang Ying'er looked at the boy in front of her and reacted, his expression was very interesting.

He seemed to be surprised, but he had been doing rough work since he was a child, and he was not the kind of eldest lady who was delicate and protected, which couldn't scare her.

Later, Qin Zhao handed her a steamed bun.

It was the best steamed bun she had ever tasted.

She looked at the boy next to her and saw that he was not so unpleasant.

Jiang Ying'er was floating in her dream, but was awakened by a small voice.

She snapped her eyes open and wondered, could it be a thief who had slipped in?

Qin Zhao's voice came from the window.

"Ying'er, can you hear me?"

She was stunned at first, then reacted immediately, hurried to the window, opened the shabby curtain, and Qin Zhao's handsome face appeared in the night.

"You ......"

"Shh Qin Zhao made a silent movement, and he said softly, "Ying'er, are you willing to go with me now?" ”

Jiang Ying'er had tears in her eyes and nodded vigorously.

Qin Zhao put his hand on the iron rod in front of the window, and actually bent it alive.

He looked up and said to the surprised Jiang Ying'er: "Ying'er, you come out, I'll catch you." ”

……

Jiang Ying'er and Qin Zhao walked forward in the rainy night.

Qin Zhao's speed was very fast, and gradually she was a little physically exhausted.

In fact, Jiang Ying'er felt that there was no need to rush so much, because her parents found out that she must be tomorrow morning, if she was usually gone, at most she would complain and scold a few words, and then leave it behind.

After the incident of Zhang Xianshi, it is estimated that someone will be sent to look for her, but in the end, if she can't find it, it will only be gone.

It was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see my fingers, and occasionally I could hear the sound of rustling.

There was a light rain in the night sky, her hair was wet, and the wind was blowing her shabby robe.

Jiang Ying'er always stays in the village on weekdays, and rarely has this opportunity to go out. On weekdays, I am exposed to my parents' ears and eyes, and I have a faint inferiority complex deep in my heart. She is cautious and accustomed to going against the grain. This was the first time she had rebelled against her parents in a positive sense.

This feeling gave her a faint excitement in her heart.

The rain in the sky fell down, Jiang Ying'er's clothes were half wet, she was cold, and her little face was pale, but she didn't notice it.

Qin Zhao said softly: "Ying'er, are you cold?" ”

Jiang Ying'er was stunned: "I'm fine." ”

Qin Zhao took her hand, and Jiang Ying'er found that even on such a rainy night, his hand was hot.

Jiang Ying'er curled her lips and smiled, although she was cold, her heart was indeed warm.

I don't know where I went, and the shadows of the houses gradually disappeared around me, except for the surrounding trees, which were mounds of different heights. The mountains in the distance became a silhouette, and it was impossible to see them really.

Jiang Ying'er was a little worried: "It's so late, and we can't see the surroundings clearly, will we go the wrong way?" ”

Qin Zhao looked at the scenery in the distance and said seriously: "No, I have checked the route before." The road is right, but it is a little far. We've only walked a fraction of the way now, and by the time we actually get to town, it's probably almost dawn. ”

"So far away......" Jiang Ying'er muttered.

Qin Zhao: "No way, the location of the village is too far away, and in the past, when I went to the town to buy things, I had to go out very early in advance." ”

Hearing Qin Zhao say this, Jiang Ying'er relaxed slightly. But she also had a faint worry in her heart, how should they live when they arrived in a new place? Qin Zhao is okay alone, if he brings her again, will he cause trouble?

She pursed her lips slightly.

After a while, we came to a fork in the road.

Qin Zhao said: "These two roads can lead to the town, and one road is closer, but there are many woods around, and I heard that there are also violent spirit beasts." ”

"What about the other one?" When Jiang Ying'er heard the violent spirit beast, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

"The other one is farther away, but more open, and normally there is no danger. And you will pass by a pavilion halfway through.

It's late at night, and it's raining again, so I can rest there for the night and leave tomorrow morning. ”

"Then this one." Jiang Ying'er quickly made a choice.

"Well, I also think that there is no need to rush this time now, safety is important." Qin Zhao said.

The sound of rain around me gradually drowned out some of the other sounds, and the wildflowers on the roadside were scattered.

Qin Zhao put his outer robe over the heads of the two to cover the rain. It's a pity that the effect is somewhat minimal, and most of the rain drifts in from the front, drenching the two of them to the cold.

At this moment, a white shadow suddenly flashed in front of him.

Jiang Ying'er was already a little scared in her heart, but when she suddenly saw a shadow, she couldn't help but exhale softly.

"It's okay, it should be someone else." Qin Zhao approached her slightly and whispered comfort in her ear.

"But it's so late, and it's raining, who but us will be in a hurry at night?" Jiang Ying'er has always been cautious, she frowned slightly, and spoke softly.

At this moment, the shadow in front of him stopped.
