When Yu Zijin woke up, she found herself in a sealed carriage, her black hair was scattered, she was wearing a shabby linen clothes, her hands and feet were tied with water-soaked hemp rope, and her mouth was stuffed with cotton cloth, not only could she not move, but even had difficulty making a sound, she touched her round belly, and tried to forcibly lift her internal force without hurting the child in her womb.

The carriage swayed, and she tried to support herself with her arms, her elbows tightly on her abdomen, and she tried to peer out the window through the cracks, but the cart was sealed and she could see nothing. After some time, the carriage gradually stopped shaking, as if it had reached some soft place, and through the cracks of the carriage, she felt the wind and sand flying in.

Desert...... She was shocked in her heart, she was sent to the desert?

She tried to start struggling, but she didn't expect that after waking up from a sleep, she had already arrived in the desert thousands of miles away from Luzhou, did Ah Zheng find out? Does Lin'er know? Will they be in a hurry? Can you find her whereabouts?

The water-stained hemp rope became tighter and tighter, and after a few days and nights of water and rice and bumping on the road for a long time, she soon lost her strength, and she leaned weakly on the carriage, anxiously thinking of a way to escape.

At this time, the carriage stopped, someone reached in and threw her a leather bag kettle and a piece of dry hard pancake, she didn't have time to see the other party's appearance clearly, moved forward a few steps with difficulty, picked up the piece of dry hard pancake and ate it first, a few days of water and rice did not enter, she even if she did not eat the child still has to eat, no matter what the situation is, she must feed herself first.

After eating the pancakes, she wasted a long time before opening the kettle with her tied hands and drinking a few sips of water, and at this time the people outside began to babble, she could hear that this was an exotic dialect of the desert, and she didn't know exactly what she was talking about, and then there was a hunchbacked old man who described her thin as she got into the carriage, she began to guard her lower abdomen and retreated, holding the kettle tightly in the corner of the carriage as a defense.

The hunchbacked old man glanced vigilantly behind him and lowered the door curtain, and Yu Zijin asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

The old man didn't speak, his hands gestured one after another, touching his mouth for a while and touching his ears for a while, Yu Zijin saw that he was a deaf and dumb deaf mute, the hunchbacked old man squatted down and touched the reins that tied her feet, so frightened that Yu Zijin hid his legs, he saw this and gestured for a long time, the people outside the carriage were impatient and began to shout, he pointed out the window, and his fingers made a shushing gesture on his lips.

Yu Zijin suddenly realized, and asked him silently, "You want to help me?" ”

The hunchbacked old man nodded violently, Yu Zijin was no longer guarded, and the hunchbacked old man immediately helped her loosen the reins that bound her hands and feet, but the reins were still binding her, and the old man tapped the wooden plank of the carriage three times in a row, and wrote the word "escape" in her palm.

She asked silently with her lips, "Listen to you knock on the carriage three times and then run away?" ”

The hunchbacked old man gave her a thumbs up and nodded wildly, and then got out of the carriage without delay. Yu Zijin looked forward to watching him leave, her heart was full of gratitude, she let go of her hands and feet and sat nervously, for fear of missing the hunchbacked old man's code, and mistaking the vitality of her and the child in her womb.

The climate gradually cooled down, a few hours later it was already cold to the bone, and the wind gradually rose, Yu Zijin hugged herself tightly and curled up in the car, guessing that it was estimated that it was already midnight outside the car at this time, and the group was probably about to rest, she waited patiently for a while, and sure enough, she heard the sound of the carriage knocking, no more, no less, exactly three times.

She threw away the rope and immediately got out of the car, only to see the quicksand under the stars and moon, and it was really in the desert.

Someone helped her out of the car in time, it was the hunchbacked old man, and the rest of the dozen or so people were dressed in exotic clothes, and were snoring and sleeping at this time, the old man wrapped a thick shabby sheepskin jacket around her body, and put a package containing a kettle and dry food on her body, and pointed in a direction to let her run away.

Yu Zijin burst into tears, nodded heavily to the old man, thanked him again and again in a low voice, and ran desperately in the direction he pointed out, covering his lower abdomen.

Night, deep and dark, boundless, her body is heavy and tired, one foot deep and one foot shallow, every time she runs out of a distance, she will always fall into deep yellow sand and kneel on the ground, fortunately the desert is not stony and soil, will not fall to the child, she does not dare to rest, has been running desperately forward, the fetus in the womb seems to know the mother's difficulty, has been obediently, did not let her feel any discomfort, and even obediently did not kick her.

Until the night passed, she watched the rising sun sit down in the desert with tears in her eyes, the corners of her mouth were chapped, her skin was wrinkled, and she was embarrassed, she drank a few sips of water with calm eyes and ate half a piece of bread.

Thinking of the vastness of the vast sea, the unclear ahead, she was eight months pregnant and didn't know when and when she could go out, so she silently put away the food and water in the package, picked up the package and helped her lower abdomen and began to walk forward step by step.

My father said: "Hardships and hardships make you successful." No matter how difficult the moment is, you have to find a way to keep yourself alive, the fatigue and torture of the body is always the lowest suffering, if you can't even survive the little scorching sun and snow, how to become jade into steel? ”

She didn't know when Ah Zheng would find her, but now she had to do everything she could to keep herself and her children alive, her husband and children were waiting for her in Xiyuan, even if she died, she would die by their side, she had already lost one child, and she would never ask God to take the second one again!

The sun rises and sets, and another day has passed, Yu Zijin shook the empty kettle, and could only dry her throat and continue to walk forward, just when she was almost prostration, she suddenly looked up and found a piece of greenery in front of her, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief, it was an oasis, she actually saw the oasis, she looked at the water and grass in a daze, and was very moved, thanking the heavens for her and the child, just when she wanted to go forward, the wind behind her suddenly sent a noise, she turned back in fear, Seeing that the group of strangers who kidnapped her yesterday had actually caught up, her first instinct was to run.

The wind in the desert was getting stronger and stronger, and she struggled to escape against the wind, only to run a distance and accidentally fell into the yellow sand, she began to feel powerless and hopeless, lying in the yellow sand, looking back at the men who drove their mounts after her.

She closed her eyes, and her eyes were so dry that she couldn't even shed tears.

When she looked up again, she saw a verdant oasis, lush green, a snow-clad and white-haired Qingyue figure walked towards her, he was snow-white, noble and proud, like a snow-capped mountain in the clouds, and even the mask was carved from white jade, and for a moment she thought she had met an immortal.

Several white shadows like Bai Lian suddenly jumped up from behind him, and before Yu Zijin could see when they appeared, those white shadows had already swept behind him like the wind, silver light flickered, and screams began, and in just a moment, those foreigners who came in a hurry were already in a different place.

Everything was like a dream, these people were like heavenly soldiers who saved her, Yu Zijin looked at the man in white who walked to him step by step, in a trance, she saw him silently bowing his head and squatting beside him, his face covered by the mask could not see the expression, but his body revealed a tense breath, and he seemed to caress her back with his white jade-like palm...... Gradually, she lost consciousness, she didn't know if it was a dream or reality, she only knew that she was so tired, and she just wanted to sleep like this forever.

When she woke up again, she was in a hut, she suddenly touched her lower abdomen and sat up from the bed, and saw that she and the child had nothing to do before she gasped for breath, at this time she had changed into a clean Yunjin middle clothes, and the scars on her hands and feet that were strangled by ropes were also drugged, she dragged her sore body back to the head of the bed, only to find that there was a throbbing pain in her lower abdomen.

She frowned and looked around, and was noticing the white-clothed and white-haired man standing by the window, he slowly looked back, and said in a voice without waves: "Don't move, you have fetal gas, you may have to give birth prematurely." ”

The voice made Yu Zijin in a trance, her throat moved, she couldn't speak due to severe lack of water, the man slowly turned around, picked up a glass of water and handed it to her mouth, she was stunned to drink with his strength, and inadvertently touched his jade-like white fingertips, the coldness made her instantly shrink her hand.

She smiled gloomily, it was her whimsical that she had mistaken the stranger for him.

His voice is not so cold and unforgiving, and his fingertips are always warm and warm.

Moistening her throat, she asked in a hoarse voice: "Thank you for saving your life, dare to ask who your Excellency is?" ”

He seemed to be laughing, not knowing whether it was a sneer or a light smile, "Maybe we should be old friends!" ”

"The deceased?" Yu Zijin asked rhetorically, at this time, a person entered the room with a soup bowl, she looked carefully, and was surprised to recognize that it was Xiao Qi, who had a relationship in Shangluo Palace, and she said to the man in surprise: "You...... Are you Jin Yinmo? ”

He chuckled lowly, acquiescing.

Xiao Yu brought the medicine to her side and said with a smile: "Miss has fetal gas, let's drink the fetal medicine while it is hot, the doctor said, the little boy may be born prematurely, your current body can't get out of bed and walk around, you have to stay in bed to recuperate, just in case of accidents, you have to be careful." ”

Yu Zijin nodded seriously, solemnly thanked the young man, took the medicine bowl and drank it all, the bitterness of the decoction made her frown deeply, and she coughed after drinking, someone handed her a paper bag at this time, she looked up at the white jade mask, and was about to thank her for saying that she didn't eat sugar, but found that there were some candied sour fruits in it, she thanked him, took a plum and put it in her mouth to relieve the bitterness.

The man didn't speak, just like a white jade carving standing in front of the window, seeing that he had been cold and indifferent, there was a question Yu Zijin hesitated for a long time, and was struggling whether to say it, Xiao Qi, who saw her thoughts, smiled and asked: "Miss is worried about King Yingcheng and the little prince." ”

Yu Zijin nodded deeply at this knowledgeable young man.

Xiao Yu pursed his lips and looked embarrassed, when a gust of wind bounced open the door, and someone had already broken in.

"Daughter, where's my daughter?"

"Oh daughter, how are you? But I'm worried about dying as a father! ”

"What did Nishihara do with that Yuwen Zheng? The world has spread him to be like a god, how can he not even protect his own wife, and cause you to suffer such a great crime! I've called back all the people who sent him the letter, and you won't be allowed to come back to him!" Father-in-law will protect you in the future! ”

……

Yu Zijin was stunned to look at this old man who was already gray-haired but childlike like a naughty child, he was not like the straw sandals and broken hat at the beginning, he had already changed into a clean robe, and his hair was combed tightly and orderly, but his temperament still remained unchanged, and it took a long time to interject and call out "father-in-law", she was about to ask him about his recent situation in recent years, but Jin Yi has been endlessly complaining about Yuwen Zheng's incompetence, she said helplessly: "Oh, father-in-law, I don't blame Ah Zheng for this, it was my momentary negligence that I suffered from the way of the wicked, You stopped people from going to Luzhou to report your daughter's whereabouts, did you want to kill Ah Zheng and Lin'er? ”

"I don't care! I said no, no, no! Even if he kills all the people of the Yuan clan, you are not allowed to go back, and honestly go back to the South China Sea with us, and no one dares to touch you if you are kept there! Jin Yi flicked his sleeves magnificently.

Yu Zijin heard that it was wrong, "What do you mean that you are not allowed to go back even if you kill all the people of the Yuan clan?" ”

"You don't know yet?" Jin Yi was stunned for a moment, looked at Jin Yinmo and Xiao Yao, and told Yu Zijin what happened a few days ago.

Yu Zijin was like a thunderbolt after hearing this, she didn't expect that her distress would be done by Lechang, and she didn't expect that Ah Zheng would actually kill her in Shangluo, at this time he must be crazy, and Lin'er, their father and son must be in a hurry.

"No, I want to go back to Luzhou, I want to see Ah Zheng!" She lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, when there was a sudden sharp pain in her abdomen, her face changed, she was sitting on the bed and couldn't move in pain, and her lower body was damp, only to find that the amniotic water was actually broken, Jin Yi knew that she was speechless, and she was busy with Xiao Yu to help her on the bed, and Jin Yinmo had already gone out like the wind, and immediately brought the doctor and Wen Po to her bedside.

All night, she struggled with life rather than death.

It wasn't until dawn, when a baby's dawn cry echoed through the morning, that she closed her eyes tiredly.

This sleep was a day and a night, and when she woke up, the first rays of light of the morning spilled into the window and fell on the man in white clothes in front of the window, who gently patted the lightly sleeping baby in his arms, and the force was rhythmic and soft, obviously very skillful. Although the mask obscured his expression, the love was palpable to anyone.
