Chapter 358: Shadow of the Courtyard

"Angkor, don't ...... Don't leave me behind...... Don't ......" Ju'er spit out a few words intermittently, her voice was a little slurred, obviously not conscious.

Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly leaned over to look, only to see Ju'er's eyes closed and her brows furrowed, as if she was in a deep nightmare, she shook her head and whispered.

Wu Zhiyuan held Ju'er's hand, held it in his palm, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I won't leave you." ”

Ju'er seemed to feel Wu Zhiyuan's breath, and as soon as Wu Zhiyuan's words fell, Ju'er's frowning brows slowly relaxed, and the expression on her face was no longer as nervous as just now. Gradually, her breathing became calm, as if she had struggled out of a nightmare, and she fell asleep again.

Wu Zhiyuan changed the towel on Ju'er's forehead a few more times, and found that the temperature on Ju'er's forehead had begun to drop, and the big stone in his heart was able to be put down. He sat on the edge of Ju'er's bed, not daring to leave an inch, for fear that Ju'er would be afraid if he woke up and couldn't see him.

The flame of the oil lamp on the table became weaker and weaker, and the kerosene in the bottle had burned out, and the fire jumped at some point and finally went out, and Wu Zhiyuan at this time was also tired and fell asleep on the side of the bed unconsciously.

When Wu Zhiyuan woke up, it was already dawn, he slowly opened his eyes, rubbed his arm that was sore and numb, and inadvertently looked up, Ju'er was staring at him with a pair of smart big eyes, Wu Zhiyuan was overjoyed, and asked with a smile: "Ju'er, are you awake?" ”

Wu Zhiyuan didn't ask, but Ju'er's eyes suddenly opened, and large tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, wetting the pillow.

Wu Zhiyuan suddenly panicked, he didn't understand why Ju'er's expression changed so quickly, people said that a woman's face was in June, and I am afraid that the day in June was not as fast as Ju'er's expression on her face at this time.

"Ju'er, what's wrong with you?" Wu Zhiyuan reached out to wipe away the tears hanging from the corners of Ju'er's eyes, and asked softly.

Ju'er's eyes stared straight at Wu Zhiyuan, and she didn't speak, but suddenly sat up, hugged Wu Zhiyuan, buried her head in Wu Zhiyuan's chest, and cried loudly.

At this time, Wu Zhiyuan had probably guessed the reason for the change in Ju'er's expression, presumably she saw Wu Zhiyuan waiting by the bedside all night, so she was moved, so she cried loudly.

"It's okay." Wu Zhiyuan gently patted Ju'er's soft back and comforted, "Don't worry, Brother Wu promises you that he will never leave you alone in the future." ”

Hearing Wu Zhiyuan's words, Ju'er raised her head, looked at Wu Zhiyuan with dependence, and nodded lightly.

At this time, although Ju'er's high fever subsided, her body was very weak, considering that she still needed bed rest and should not get out of bed and walk around, Wu Zhiyuan planned to bring breakfast into the room to feed her.

Continued to comfort a few words, Wu Zhiyuan walked out of the door to the downstairs to get breakfast, he closed the door and just turned around, and collided with Hua Gu and Lai Di, Lai Di snorted coldly, flashed over, Hua Gu looked at Wu Zhiyuan, and then looked at the door behind him, shook his head helplessly, and followed Lai Di downstairs.

Wu Zhiyuan suddenly complained in his heart, it seems that this time he really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away. Although Fang Cai Hua Gu and Lai Di did not speak, the stunned and disdainful eyes of the two of them when they looked at Wu Zhiyuan had already explained a word.

Wu Zhiyuan was entangled in his heart for a moment, knowing that this was not the time to explain, so he didn't pay much attention to it and went straight downstairs.

After feeding Ju'er breakfast, her complexion was much better, but she still had a sense of weakness at the beginning of her recovery from a serious illness. Wu Zhiyuan put away the dishes and chopsticks, Ju'er once again proposed to leave for the road, but Wu Zhiyuan refused stiffly, this time he was willing to go on the road until Ju'er was fully recovered. Ju'er saw that Wu Zhiyuan had made up her mind, so she could only stop insisting.

The group rested in this inn for a day and two nights, during this time, Wu Zhiyuan has been taking care of Ju'er's room, and even fell asleep on Ju'er's bedside at night. Since he has been misunderstood by Hua Gu and others, he can no longer avoid suspicion, after all, taking care of Ju'er's body at this time is the most important thing.

In the early morning of the second day, Ju'er insisted on eating breakfast by herself, but Wu Zhiyuan couldn't be stubborn, so she could only follow her wishes, Ju'er slowly got out of bed by herself, walked to the table, and solved the breakfast by herself. After the meal, Ju'er once again proposed to set off, and Wu Zhiyuan saw that Ju'er had recovered, so he had to nod and agree.

In fact, Ju'er insisted on getting on the road as soon as possible, mainly for Wu Zhiyuan's sake, and she could feel the feeling of returning home, although she had never had a similar experience. A reasonable and thoughtful woman often thinks of much more things than others, and Ju'er is such a woman.

Sun Haozi was going to prepare enough dry food again, but after asking the shopkeeper of the inn, he knew that if he took the path and went straight to the east, he would be able to reach the boundary of Longshan at noon, so there was no need to prepare dry food at all, only the water to drink on the road.

Hearing the shopkeeper's kind admonition, Wu Zhiyuan's heart was both excited and nervous, the so-called hometown timidity, probably said this feeling.

The people did not waste any more time, got into the carriage and set off immediately, and followed the instructions of the shopkeeper on an eastbound path that deviated from the official road. Wu Zhiyuan seems to have some impressions of this path, when he drove the corpse from Yonghe Yizhuang to Jinan west, he took this road.

After a day of replenishment and rest, the horses were all full of energy at this time, and as soon as they got on the road, they galloped wildly, and although the path was not as smooth as the official road, the horses were not hindered in any way, and they were moving fast with the speed of the crowd.

There was no pause on the way, and near noon, a towering mountain in the distance was clearly presented in front of everyone, and the smoke at the foot of the mountain was obviously a village.

"Brother Wu, isn't that village in front?" Sun Haozi shook his horsewhip while turning back and shouting at Wu Zhiyuan.

Wu Zhiyuan lifted the curtain and saw the familiar mountain at a glance, the mountain is steep, the strange rocks are craggy, it is Longshan, and the village under Longshan is Wujia Village.

"Brother Sun, it's the village at the foot of the mountain!" Wu Zhiyuan responded overjoyed.

Although he was away from home for only a few months, Wu Zhiyuan felt like he was in the middle of three autumns, and at this time he couldn't wait to give birth to a pair of wings and fly to his parents immediately.

While pondering, there was a sudden bump in the carriage, Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly held Ju'er, and at the same time heard Sun Haozi shouting "Huh", which seemed to be reining the horse's reins. Wu Zhiyuan then remembered that there was a stone road under the big banyan tree in front of the village, and the carriage was afraid that it would overturn if it was too fast, so he hurriedly reminded Sun Haozi.

A few months ago, Zhang Zefang, who was traced to Yisu, walked through Wujia Village on this stone road, and happened to be stopped by Wu Chengxi, who was waiting under the big banyan tree in front of the village, and finally achieved the fate of Wu Zhiyuan and the Maoshan faction.

The three carriages swayed through the stone road to the big banyan tree, and Sun Haozi and the wild ox got down the stake to tie the carriage. At this time, Wu Zhiyuan had already returned to his heart like an arrow, and before the carriage could stop, he jumped off the carriage and walked straight in the direction of his home.

Seeing the smoke coming out of the chimney of his house from a distance, Wu Zhiyuan's heart suddenly rose with a burst of warmth, at this time, his parents should be cooking on the fire, right? I don't know what kind of food they cook. The kang in the house must be warm again, and it must be very comfortable to lie on it.

Just thinking about it, Wu Zhiyuan had already come to the gate of his house, and the courtyard door was hidden, Wu Zhiyuan reached out and gently pushed open the courtyard door with some nervousness.

With a slight "creak", the courtyard door was pushed open. Wu Zhiyuan saw a slender figure in red walking towards the house, and when she heard the sound of the distant door, she suddenly turned around and saw Wu Zhiyuan standing at the gate of the courtyard, and the vegetable pot in her hand fell to the ground with a "clang".
