Chapter Seventy-One

"Long time no see."

"Well, long time no see." Wu Ya pulled out the chair opposite Li Yu and sat down.

Early this morning, the little servant of the General's Mansion came to the Xia Mansion to find Wu Ya, saying that General Li asked her to come to Xiaojueju for a small gathering in the afternoon.

"How are you doing? Have you been bullied by the people in the house? Li Yu said with a somewhat teasing tone.

"The people in the house take good care of me." Wu Ya's tone was a little alienated.

"I haven't heard you in a long time, are you angry that I didn't say goodbye to you before I went to the border?" Li Yu's slender fingers caressed the edge of the teacup.

"How so? I just slept too late last night and didn't get enough sleep today. Wu Ya looked at Li Yu with a faint smile.

"There are too many things to do after returning to the capital, and I haven't been busy, so I haven't had time to meet you until now." Li Yu explained for himself.

"Well, that's okay." Since Li Yu returned to the capital, the topics of conversation among the people in Xia Mansion have never left him, and many things will enter her ears even if she doesn't want to know, not to mention that there are some people who have the mentality of falling into the well.

The two were silent for a while, and then Li Yu spoke again, "Ya...... Will the girl come back? ”

Wu Ya raised her eyes and looked at Li Yu, the man had some expectations on his face, this question was exactly the same as he had asked her three months ago, "I don't know." ”

"Is there nothing you can do to get her back?" Li Yu's tone began to be a little eager.

"I'm sorry, I don't know that way yet." Wu Ya half-lowered her eyes.

"Since I can go to your country, I will definitely be able to come back, right?"

“…… Well, she should be able to come back. ”

"That ......"

Wu Ya interrupted him with a smile, "She belongs here after all, so she will come back." ”

She ...... wanted to ask something, but seeing Wu Ya's expression, Li Yu couldn't ask anymore, and only then did he realize that he was a little aggressive, "I'm sorry, I was a little rude just now." ”

"It's okay, I understand, after all, it's about the person you like." I didn't want to say this, but as soon as I opened my mouth, the words popped out.

"No, I ......" Li Yu wanted to explain, but suddenly felt that he didn't know how to explain, or that there was nothing to explain.

Wu Ya saw his hesitation, so she interrupted him, "The Xia Mansion has been very busy recently, I will go to the market in Dongcheng later, although it is a little presumptuous, I will leave first." ”

Saying that, Wu Ya got up, Li Yu grabbed Wu Ya's right wrist, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, and paused for a while before saying, "I'll go with you." ”

Wu Ya shook her head, "No need, you've been quite busy lately, you don't need to take time to accompany me, if I find a way to get the girl back, I'll tell you." As he spoke, he reached out and pulled Li Yu's hand away from his wrist.

"I didn't mean that......"

"Well, I'll go first." Wu Ya ignored Li Yu behind her, and went downstairs and left the restaurant.

After that, Li Yu would ask Wu Ya to go out with him from time to time, and Wu Ya did not refuse, but every time he felt that Li Yu had a feeling of wanting to speak and stopping, but Wu Ya did not break it.

"Why did you run away from the city today?" Early this morning, Li Yu went to Xia Mansion (of course, the back door) to pick up Wu Ya, and after the two finished eating, they took a carriage to the outside of the city.

"It's too noisy in the city, so it's nice to walk outside the city once in a while." Li Yu walked slowly in front, and Wu Ya followed behind her.

"How are we going to go back later?" Wu Ya looked around, it didn't look like there was a place where she could rent horses, she was brought into a woods, right?

"I told the coachman to come and pick us up." Li Yu paused, and waited for Wu Ya to be side by side with him before he took a natural step.

"Oh."

The two of them walked slowly like this, talking with each other, and time passed quickly.

With the rustle of leaves, Wu Ya couldn't help but shudder. When I looked up, it was still sunny and beautiful, but now it has become a dark cloud.

Yes...... It's going to rain a lot, why didn't you notice the weather change before?

"Li Yu, let's go back the way we came, it seems to be raining heavily, and the time should be about the same, uh...... Probably about the same. After Wu Ya finished speaking, a gust of wind blew from behind her, carrying rolled up mud and sand and grass clippings. Wu Ya hurriedly lowered her head and closed her eyes, holding her arms with both hands, but her feet didn't stop, Li Yu turned around, Wu Ya automatically bumped into his arms, Li Yu put his chin on the top of her head, hugged her and turned her around, blocking the flying sand and gravel for her.

Yes...... Why come to this sparsely wooded coniferous forest, you can't even block the wind. Wu Ya complained in her heart.

After the wind stopped a little, Wu Ya raised her head from Li Yu's arms, "Let's go quickly." ”

"Hmm."

The two returned the same way, and after walking in the wind for a while, the raindrops the size of beans fell from the cumulonimbus clouds, and Li Yu raised his hand and used his wide sleeves to block the rain for Wu Ya. But the rain became heavier and heavier, and it was mixed with ice particles like broken rice, hitting the trees and the ground, and it was very lively.

"No, we'll have to find a place to shelter, it's going to hail." Li Yu sensed that something was wrong, grabbed Wu Ya, and said loudly in her ear.

The sound of the rain hitting the trees and the ground became more and more urgent, and Wu Ya could only hear Li Yu's words intermittently, but she also probably guessed the meaning, "Okay!" But there doesn't seem to be much shelter from the rain in the vicinity. ”

"Let's go to the other side of the mountain, and if we're lucky, we might find a cave to shelter from the rain." After Li Yu finished speaking, he squatted down in front of Wu Ya, "Your feet are slow, come up quickly, I'll carry you." ”

Wu Ya didn't hear what Li Yu was saying, but looking at his posture and the action of patting his back with one hand, he didn't dare to hesitate to waste time, so he simply lay on Li Yu's back and asked him to carry himself. Li Yu picked up Wu Ya on his back and ran towards the mountain not far away. Sure enough, the hail began to fall, and each one was almost longer than a knuckle, and it was already painful to hit the body. Li Yu carried Wu Ya to the foot of the mountain and found a cave that could accommodate him, this cave is not natural, but more like it was dug artificially.

"I've heard that the weather here is a little weird, but I didn't expect it to be so weird." After lighting the pyre, Li Yu blew off the firecracker, "It looks like it should have been dug by nearby hunters, but fortunately there is dry firewood here." ”

Wu Ya nodded and approached the fire. The hail was still falling outside, and I didn't know when it would stop.

Wu Ya saw Li Yu turn his head to the side, his face was uncomfortable, and he looked at himself from time to time as if he was about to say something, "What do you want to say?" ”

Li Yu scratched the back of his head, his face was a little red, I don't know if it was because of the fire or the rain, "Wet clothes are easy to get sick on the body, let's take off our robes and bake them." ”

Intuition told Wu Ya that what Li Yu really wanted to say was definitely not this, but when she looked down at herself, her clothes were wet and sticking to her body, and she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Wu Ya immediately stood up and began to undress without saying a word.

Li Yu looked at it in a daze, he didn't expect Wu Ya to be so unscrewed.

Wu Ya took off her clothes to only her middle clothes and middle pants, but her middle clothes and pants were also wet, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to her body, and she was not in a good mood and was about to squat back in front of the fire with her wet clothes, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Li Yu's face flushed, staring at herself blankly, still neatly dressed in the drop of water, frowning, and looking at herself along Li Yu's line of sight, her face immediately turned black and red, how to forget about the fact that the white clothes will become transparent after they are wet.

With a dry cough, Wu Ya hugged her wet clothes in front of her and squatted back to the fire, "You can take off your wet clothes quickly." ”

The position where Li Yu was squatting was a bay of water. Li Yu got up and took off his wet clothes three times and divided them by two, and even took off his middle clothes.

Wu Ya looked at the wheat-colored upper body with perfect muscles, and the few scars on it added an indescribable wildness to this body, and couldn't help but look away, although she didn't mind, but the ancient people were so open, shouldn't the correct thing to do in this situation be to take off the middle coat and pants?

Li Yu noticed that Wu Ya was a little uncomfortable before he realized that he had done something he shouldn't have done, and hurriedly put his middle coat back on, "I'm sorry, I took it off accidentally." ”

"Take it off, take it off, don't wear it back, it's not comfortable to be wet and close to your body, but you get closer to the fire, in case you feel the wind and cold, it's terrible."

Li Yu obediently squatted by the fire with wet clothes, but after a while, he found that this position was not very comfortable, and Wu Ya stood up and shook his legs. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the hay piled up on the wall of the cave, so he walked over and took some over, divided half of it for Wu Ya, and kept half for himself, laid out the hay, and the two sat down comfortably.

The two sat facing each other and did not speak, the hail outside had stopped, but the rain was still falling and hitting the trees noisily.
