There is not much difference from what Wu Shiyi expected.

The rain rained for about an hour before it stopped.

The two of them managed to escape the heavy rain, but the two horses that followed them were miserable.

Although it was tethered under a tree, it was still drenched with water droplets.

They took the cloth they had brought with them and wiped as much water as possible from the horses.

After a little rectification, he rode on his horse and continued on his way.

Along the way, the horse that Shen Ciwei was riding seemed to be emotional.

It ran for a while, and then began to walk slowly. After walking for a while, he began to lie on the ground again.

No matter what method Shen Ciwei used, it just lay on the ground and didn't move anyway, as if it was deliberately trying to oppose Shen Ciwei.

Wu Shiyin turned around, glanced at the horse's condition, and said, "I'm afraid it won't be able to catch up with us." ”

Wu Shiyin touched the horse's nose, looked at its eyes again, and said, "Just like people, after the rain, my body is weak and sick. ”

"Huh? Sick? Shen Ciwu hurriedly got off the horse's back, stroked the horse's head, and complained: "What should I do? Why don't you treat it first? ”

Wu Shiyi's face was black, "Niangniang, please respect my profession." I'm a healer, not a veterinarian. ”

Shen Ci worried: "Aren't these two similar?" ”

Wu Shiyin: "Niangniang said that you are similar to a horse, or is a horse similar to you?" ”

"Eh" Shen Ciwu was a little embarrassed, "Then what do you say now?" You can't just let it lie on its stomach here, can you? Shall we wait by the side for it to get better before leaving? ”

"Not really." Wu Shiyi took Shen Ci's package from the sick horse's back, he checked it, and then asked Shen Ciwu, "Niangniang, what is in this package?"

Shen Ci said worriedly: "It's just some clothes, dry food or something." ”

Her package was half the size of hers, and it was a lot of trouble to carry.

"Do you women need to bring so many clothes when you go out on a long trip?" Wu Shiyi shook his head, and after complaining, he said, "You choose a dress to carry with you now, and you will lose everything else." ”

As he spoke, Wu Shiyin opened his package, leaving only a pair of clothes, and threw all his belongings on the ground.

Shen Ci looked at the contents of the package, those are his favorites.

Now that she has lost it, she is really reluctant to give it up.

So she asked Wu Shiyin, "I lost all this luggage, and then what?" ”

"Then you rode with me on a horse, and then you set your way. As for the horse, it was left here and released. When we got to the next place, we bought new horses. ”

"But I don't want to lose it, what should I do?"

Wu Shiyi shook his head, "If you take it with you, this horse that is not sick will also be exhausted to death by you, are you planning to walk the next road with your feet?" ”

Compared with the hard work of hiking, Shen Ciwu would rather give up some clothes.

After throwing away the superfluous, the two rode lightly on the same horse.

At the beginning, it was Shen Ciwu who sat in the front, while Wu Shiyi sat in the back, hugging her and holding the horse rope.

This is the normal operation of taking a person on horseback, but in this way, it is impossible to avoid a skin-to-skin relationship between two people.

Wu Shiyi's arm always touched Shen Ciwu's waist intentionally or unintentionally, she felt a little embarrassed, so she said, "Can your hand be a little more restrained, can you not touch me?" ”

Wu Shiyin: "Huh? Did I think I wanted to touch you? Isn't that unavoidable? ”

As he spoke, he tightened his waist even tighter.

Shen Ciwu shouted loudly: "Stop, stop! Dismount! I'm in the back, you're in the front! ”

"Oh, okay then."

Wu Shiyi grabbed the reins, and changed positions after dismounting with Shen Ciwu.

This time, it was he who sat in the front, and Shen Ciwu sat in the back.

And the reins are still in Wu Shiyin's hands.

Shen Ciwei grabbed the saddle behind his buttocks with both hands, trying not to have physical contact with Wu Shiyi.

And what about Wu Shiyin?

He always has a lot of bad ideas.

As he rode faster and faster, the road he chose became more and more bumpy, and Shen Ciwu was no longer able to sit on the horse just by holding the saddle with both hands.

She exclaimed, almost subconsciously put her hands forward, and tightly wrapped her arms around Wu Shiyin's thin waist.

"Wu Shiyin! You did it on purpose! ”

"Huh? What did you say~? ”

Wu Shimi's speed on his horse became faster and faster, the sound of the wind whistling past his ears, he pretended not to hear what Shen Ciwu was saying, and could only feel her hugging him tighter and tighter.

"Wu Shiyin! Slow down! Are you crazy!? ”

"Ahhh Wu Shiyin! You give Hongu a stop! Hongu is going to kill you! ”

"Wu Shiyin! This palace is going to be vomited by you!

Although she kept shouting and cursing, she never let go of the hand that held him. ”

Later, when I was tired of shouting, I simply accepted my fate.

After a two-hour journey, we finally arrived at the next village.

As soon as Wu Shiyin's speed slowed down, Shen Ciwu let go of the hand holding his waist, and instead pinched his ear from behind, "Wu Shiyin! Are you looking for death!? ”

"Ahhh Pain, pain, pain! Niangniang spares her life, I'm not afraid of delaying things, so I accelerated the progress of the hurry? Did it scare the mother? ”

Shen Ciwei felt a little speechless.

She ordered with a cold face: "You stop the palace!" ”

Wu Shiyin obediently stopped the horse, Shen Ci dismounted and walked in front angrily, while Wu Shiyin kept walking the horse and followed behind.

"Niang Niang is angry? Why is the mother angry? ."

"Shut up!" Shen Ciwu turned his head and glared at Wu Shiyin, who realized that her cheeks were blushing and red, like ripe apples.

He smiled, "Niangniang shouldn't be shy because she hugged my waist just now, right?" ”

"Will this palace be shy about this kind of thing?" Shen Ci was worried, "I haven't seen any strong winds and waves in this palace, and I will be shy because of such a little thing!?" Neuropathy! ”

Later, Wu Shiyin kept teasing Shen Ci's worries.

She also changed from being depressed at the beginning to laughing later.

The two men went to the bazaar, bought a new horse, and then went to the inn to stay overnight, ready for a good day's rest.

However, what they didn't expect was that things didn't go as smoothly as they imagined.

That night, the small city where they were located closed its east and west gates, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

After careful inquiry, I found out that there was a death in the small town, and in order to fear that the murderer would escape, he chose to close the city gate and investigate the matter thoroughly.
