Chapter 230: Why Fear?

In other words, Xi Zien braved the night, braved the drizzle and carried a torch, and went down the mountain with great difficulty.

Fortunately, they only crossed one mountain and followed a small mountain road into Chagouzi Village.

When I came back, I also returned along the same road, and I can't say how familiar the road was, but I walked it all over again.

Xi Zien didn't want to spend the night in the mountains, and wanted to go back to the tent where he had set up camp on the flat ground outside the mountain.

There are fine wines and delicacies, and there is warm nephrite. Fang Yi felt that it was comfortable, after all, it was raining, and no matter how much he was prepared, he was drenched, and there was no clothes to change into.

The rain tickled his body, and he wanted to scratch uncomfortably.

The soldiers who opened the way for Xi Zien in front of them explored the road with difficulty, and everyone had to be careful in the dark night, because the road they walked was still a bit difficult, and if they were not careful, they might fall into the abyss.

It was okay when I came, because the road was dry, but now it's different, now the road is wet, and after the rain, it's all muddy road, and there is no way to walk, and every step is easy to slip.

Several soldiers in front of him slipped and fell several times in succession, and the people behind him always protected Xi Zien's body intentionally or unintentionally, preventing him from slipping, and it was very difficult to pull.

After all, the mountain trail is too thin.

There are also many people who complain, complaining about why the daughter-in-law has to walk on the road at night, don't you know that it will be very dangerous at night?

Even if each of them had torches in their hands, if they accidentally stepped on some dark place, there would be more than one person who would be unlucky, but probably a long group of people in the whole team.

Even if those people don't complain about the mat, Eun himself has some regrets in his heart.

He shouldn't have been presumptuous and felt that he couldn't stand the conditions of the poor ravine, and insisted on going back.

Now the night is dark and the wind is high, there is no light in the sky, and there is no thought in sight, and the unknown beasts in the mountains are still howling, which makes people feel panicked when they hear it.

My hands and feet felt even more like nowhere to put them.

Xi Zien secretly swore in his heart that next time he would never walk the mountain road again, let alone walk at night.

This is completely self-inflicted, who is so stupid to walk here in the dark and here at night in order to find someone, and take such a dangerous road, if you are not careful, your life will be gone.

Such a drudgery, he shouldn't have been forced to survive in the first place, it was just a joke.

Not to mention, there really are such fools who would be willing to come and find someone.

For example, Qi Qingchu.

It is estimated that the people in the court or those who know Qi Qingchu would not have thought that Qi Qingchu would run out of his heart and impulsively once again.

He took a long leave of absence under the pretext of being ill, and did not return to the court until he recovered from his illness.

It just so happened that Emperor Gao De was reducing his power intentionally or unintentionally recently, and Qi Qingchu felt that he was upset to deal with it, so he simply withdrew and let him toss.

And he didn't want to stay in the court, and there were people he wanted to see, so he simply came out to relax.

He hid from everyone and came to Jinzhou.

It's only three days since Xi Zien came here. However, Qi Qing was still in a hurry at the beginning.

Just like when he rushed to Liangzhou desperately, time was tight, and there was no room for delay. I always feel as if if I delay for a while, and Li Jicai is likely to disappear from this world.

He often had this fear.

Since those great changes occurred at the beginning of the year, Qi Qingchu has never been able to return to his former peaceful life.

If a person suddenly lacks a habit in his life, he will subconsciously look for it and fill it up, even if it is rational or irrational, and it has been planned for a long time out of impulse.

Of course, maybe he can also use this opportunity to experience more world affairs.

Qi Qingchu found countless reasons for himself to look for Li Jicai, but in the end it was nothing more than proof that in fact, he just wanted to see her.

He went down the road of Baoji Mountain, until the court could no longer deal with it, and then he went back.

Anyway, at this time, there is no big turmoil in the court or on the rivers and lakes, the wind is calm and very comfortable.

There is no news of competition between countries, so there is no need to worry about internal and external troubles, and this may be the most idle period since Qi Qingchu entered politics.

There was a late rain today, and Qi Qingchu inevitably got drenched in the rain, and there were clothes in the bag that could be changed, but Qi Qingchu didn't plan to let the two sets of clothes he carried with him get wet, but fortunately, he was lucky enough to find an old cave on his body that had traces of human use, and threw stones and torches into it, and after confirming that there was no danger, Qi Qingchu walked in.

In fact, he is also very worried, he doesn't have much experience in surviving in the wild, and he usually has someone to serve him in his daily life, so he doesn't have to do it at all.

Thinking that he was now experiencing this alone outside, listening to the terrified howls of the beasts outside, listening to the sound of the rain hitting the leaves, listening to the wind whistling outside, and looking at the flickering flames he had lit in the cave, a feeling of excitement and trembling rose in his heart, which was unique in the past.

Perhaps this can be described in two words.

Because it is not on the tuyere, this cave can more or less block most of the wind for Qi Qingchu.

Qi Qingchu took him out of the plainclothes in the package, and then covered his body as warmth.

Two of his guards would arrive in two days, and it would be even more convenient for him to be led by then.

Mainly because these two societies were transferred from other places, so it was more reassuring to meet with Qi Qingchu and transfer from other places, if there was something in the capital, it would definitely be detected, and Qi Qingchu didn't want to take this risk anyway.

I think he is really crazy to do such a crazy move.

Qi Qingchu didn't know what he thought of, but he laughed at the fire, his voice was clear and inexplicably cheerful, which made people feel that he was in a very good mood.

If Li Jicai knew that at this moment in power, there was a man who was looking for her and wanted to rescue her, ah, this person was still the person she hated, I don't know what he would think.

But at this moment, she had no way of knowing that he was facing the evil ghost in front of him.

That's right, for Li Jicai, this person is simply a demon from hell, becoming more and more terrifying every day, more and more evil every day, and more cruel every day.

Li Jicai had never experienced this, and she never imagined that Wu Mian, who was quite calm and self-contained on the way to escape, would do such a brutal thing to hurt her in front of his wife after returning to the village.

When someone pushed the door in, Li Jicai's body trembled subconsciously, she was extremely afraid that the person who came in was Wu Mian, she was afraid of Wu Mian, so she took out the stick without saying a word like before, and then broke her legs.

She was already lying in bed in pain, and if she did it again, Li Jicai felt that her little life would have to be explained here.

When Wu Min came in, the room was quiet, and only the sound of breathing could be heard, shallow, and quiet.

Li Jicai's right hand unconsciously tightened the corner, and she was afraid that Wu Mian would approach her like a ghost and then poison her.

She has no power to fight back now, which is equivalent to fish meat on the chopping board, which is kneaded and pinched flat.

But what Li Jicai didn't expect was that Wu Mian just stood at the door and stayed quietly for a while, and then withdrew without saying anything.

Really exited the room, Li Jicai could hear the sound of the door being closed. Of course, he was also worried about whether Wu Mian closed the door and stayed in the room, but he didn't hear the breathing sound in the room, and smelled the unfamiliar breath, so it was enough to conclude that Wu Mian went out.

But what Li Jicai is worried about is whether Wu Mian is secretly planning something else, and if it is planning something else, the next wave of impact is estimated to be unbearable pain for Li Jicai.

She is really scared now, so afraid that Wu Mian will come to her yin, instead of doing something to her positively.

For Li Jicai, the Wu family is like a snake and scorpion cave, even more terrifying than Jiang Li's cruel abuse of her at the beginning.

She is under house arrest here, and she has to worry all the time whether Wu Min will beat her, take out anger on her, or take revenge on her.

No matter which one it is, Li Jicai finds it extremely unbearable and unimaginable.

Now Li Jicai can only pray that her leg is injured, hurry up, as long as she can find an opportunity, even if it is to die in the mountains, she is willing.

She doesn't want to stay in the Wu family anymore, really, this place is even more terrifying than Abi Hell, she really can't live anymore.

After making sure that Wu Mian would not come back after walking away, Li Jicai secretly whimpered and cried in the bed.

This is the first time since she crossed over to feel so humiliated, so painful, that she cried out in sadness, no one can understand her mood at this moment, desperate, unable to see a ray of light, but still painfully groping and struggling.

She really felt that she was about to run out of things, and it was obvious that those officers and soldiers had come to look for her today, but they didn't know her.

They just touched the scar on her neck and found that she couldn't move her legs now, thinking she was a cripple, and just let her go by mistake.

Li Jicai wanted to speak, wanted to tell them that he was the person they were looking for, but because he was too weak, he couldn't even pronounce a single tone.

Li Jicai tried for a long time, trying hard to speak, trying hard to express her emotions, but her best efforts may seem to others to be just lazy, weak, soft, turning over and raising her hands or just fiddling with her posture at will.

She couldn't even see how many people were coming into the house, she could only see this small area in front of her.

It's just a small part of the place.

The officers and soldiers came here and searched casually for a while, and then left, although they had some doubts about her identity, but after all, they didn't know that it was because of the weighing and consideration that they left her behind, and did not take her away. Li Jicai was actually extremely disappointed, she had a chance to leave here and get out of the clutches.

Missing such a great opportunity, Li Jicai felt very sorry in his heart.

However, Li Jicai felt that it was because she didn't talk nonsense, so when Wu Mian came back, he didn't punish her and got temporary comfort.

If Li Jicai showed a strong sense of survival in front of those officers and soldiers, and even talked nonsense, but those officers and soldiers regarded her as a madman and did not take her away, Wu Mian would come back, and Li Jicai would face his monstrous anger, and the price of this anger was definitely unbearable for Li Jicai.

However, even this temporary comfort did not make Li Jicai feel at ease, Li Jicai knew in his heart that this was definitely not an end, but a beginning.

The fact that the officers and soldiers were able to come here shows that they are still continuing to track down her whereabouts, and that she is still unsafe in the Wu family, and that Wu Mian will not put her under house arrest after that, either by transferring her to another place, or ......

Those officers and soldiers left, and the possibility of coming back was extremely small, and Li Jicai had to rely on himself to escape. In this small mountain village where no one knows anyone and no one knows anyone, no one can rely on anyone but on their own.

Before Wu Mian arranged his life again.

Get out, you must get out.

Li Jicai knew that because of Wu Mian's wife's actions, she had now become a person in the village and recognized as Wu Mian's daughter-in-law.

Wu Mian definitely didn't plan to do this at the beginning, from what he said to his wife at the beginning, the tone of explanation can be heard, Wu Mian never thought of treating her as a daughter-in-law at all.

I don't know if Wu Mian's daughter-in-law will help her, Li Jicai feels that the most important thing now is to anticipate when Wu Mian's next move will happen, even if it is unexpected, you must take precautions in advance, and the most important thing is to protect yourself.

Wu Mian and his wife don't feed her now, and just put some porridge at the door every time, and Li Jicai has to climb down from the bed little by little if he wants to eat.

Like a Rippy dog.

But there is no way, in order to survive, Li Jicai must do this.

But every time I do this, I will affect the injuries on my body, and I will grin in pain, which is very painful.

But it was in such a difficult environment that gave birth to Li Jicai's sense of survival.

Until this time, Li Jicai did not give up, she still thought about escaping, if there was a chance to survive, then why not survive?

It is said that it is better to die than to live, and it is better to survive in the world than to be buried in the soil.

Although it is said that life is joyful, and death is not afraid, but for Li Jicai, such a humiliating death is definitely not what she wants.

Of course, one day, if she goes back, she will definitely have to pay a terrible price for Wu Mian. If Wu Mian doesn't kill her now, it will be Li Jicai herself who will kill Wu Mian in the future!
