The sound of the door being closed sounded in the secret room, Zhang Liu lay on the bed and looked up at the ceiling, there was nothing in his eyes, and his limbs were weak, as if he couldn't infuse a little strength.

But it's true that a bed without love can be physically and mentally exhausting, not to mention that the object is still the biological mother who has raised him for so many years, and he really can't find any reason to be happy and energetic.

Now the only belief that sustains him to live. Probably to understand whether Xie Qingqiu is dead or not.

Zhang Tai swore and said conclusively that she had died in the fire, but he didn't want to believe it from the bottom of his heart. Because that's the one he loves, that's his hero. She is a famous major general in the empire, and she has countless honors in her life, how could she die in a conspiracy and fire?

So he's going to live, he's going to get out alive, to see with his own eyes and hear from her.

Thinking about it, tears unconsciously broke out of his eyes, and he didn't understand why things had developed the way they were.

Of course, he is not innocent, he used unclean and dishonorable means, gained the trust of Qingqiu and a moment of illusory pity, and was even about to get a long-term and stable marriage relationship.

It's just that no one can suddenly accept the fact that his mother who loves him and becomes a thief who covets him.

Thinking that Zhang Tai's love for him for so many years is not a mother's pity for her child, but a master's connivance to her.

He shuddered and sighed.

The bare skin touched the satin-like futon, but it was still painful, and there were bruises on it, and in some places there was a suspiciously dry translucent liquid.

He bit his lower lip, closed his eyes, and began to think in his mind about what he had been thinking about all this time.

Zhang Liu felt that he must go out.

That strange female insect, that is, Qing He, has an imperial divine bird, which Bai Qi found by chance, of course, he didn't deliberately peek, but it was too coincidental at the time.

One day in the middle of the night, he was very thirsty, but that night he happened to forget to put a cup of hot water at the head of his bed, so he could only get up in the middle of the night and go down to the kitchen.

It was a very heavy rainstorm that night, the roads became muddy, the world became wet, and even the air was humid and cool, so the heat that came out of her room was very abrupt and very nostalgic.

He unconsciously leaned closer, thanks to the fact that the sound insulation of this building was not very good, so when he took two steps, he heard a few crisp chirps.

Before coming to Shenniao Village, Bai Qi deliberately did his homework, and also went to watch the one left in the Federation, so he still knew about its habits and appearance.

The comforting heat, the crisp chirping, and the faint flapping of wings in the air all combined to make him almost instantly sure that it was an imperial bird.

In an instant, he felt happy, after all, the purpose of his visit to the Divine Bird Village this time was for this.

But it was unfortunate that he missed the best time to observe the Imperial Divine Bird, and even more unfortunately, it had been raining heavily during this time, and the muddy road made it impossible for him to go deep into the mountains and forests and get close to him.

Just when he was a little disappointed and felt that he was likely to return home, he learned that there might be an empire around him, and said, how could he not feel excited?

But in the next second, when he realized whose door it was, he died down and instantly extinguished that thought.

This is the room of the strange female, the female, the female, the reciprocating kindness, the extremely rude, reckless, vulgar female. How could she be willing to let herself see her little pet?

Although he has made such a conclusion in his heart, he still has some expectations and always thinks about this matter.

Gentle and optimistic people have always been favored by the Creator, so he can be regarded as lucky, he saw it with his own eyes on the third day after discovering that Qinghe had the Imperial Divine Bird, and even touched it.

It was another rainstorm, of course, it didn't rain before he went out, the sky was still clear and the sun was shining, he thought that it was finally clear, so he went out with a kind of luck, not only did he not bring his personal guard, but he didn't even carry a light brain.

Because his definition of this outing at that time was a simple walk after the rain and sunny weather, he counted wherever he went, and then took the initiative to go home when he was tired, so he thought that there was no need for the guards to follow.

After living in high-rise buildings for a long time, he has to admit that such a primitive, quaint and vibrant mountain village is very attractive.

He walked along a trail and gradually walked into a bamboo forest.

The breeze blows gently, and the bamboo leaves rustle against each other, making it feel quiet.

At one moment, he was blessed to open the dense bamboo bushes, and then he heard the sound of the spring water, and a cold air came to his face, and he guessed that there must be a hole in it, so he began to drill into it, and after breaking through the barrier made of the bamboo forest, he found a small stone pool.

The stone pond is clear from the bottom, and only a few green bamboo leaves float on it. The lines on the stones at the bottom of the pond can be seen clearly, and the sunlight hits the water through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, and then penetrates into the bottom of the pond.

This is something that Bai Qi has never seen in his decades of life.

How beautiful, how distant, how like a dream that no one knows, and for a moment he felt a sense of unreality. It seems that in a trance, life is a big dream.

Such a view and such a mood made him stay, he found a smooth stone next to him, and then sat and looked at the sparkling pool and began to be in a daze, in fact, there was nothing in his head, but time slipped away little by little.

Perhaps it was because of the coldness and coldness of the pool, so he didn't notice in time that the weather was slowly starting to get cooler, and the wind was blowing with a wave of moisture and moisture.

By the time he came to his senses, it was already pouring rain, and the raindrops the size of beans splashed on the water, fell on the smooth stones beside him, and returned to the pool.

He panicked and wanted to go back, but he chose the wrong direction and got lost in another pool.

Panic always makes people unable to think calmly, and he wants to go out but goes in a direction that he has never reached. He had completely lost his bearings, so he had to find a place to shelter from the rain for the time being.

But I didn't expect to go farther and farther, and finally I could only hide from the rain in a gap in a rock wall.

He's cold.

Males are not as strong in their bodies, and in the eyes of most people, they are synonymous with vulnerability.

His rain-soaked clothes clinged to his body, and he shivered as the rain fell heavier and the wind blew cooler and cooler. He tried to fall asleep in a daze, but was awakened the next moment.

After taking several naps, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Qinghe standing in front of him with an umbrella.

*

Xie Qingqiu's face is really not good-looking, probably pregnant, so she is also very pale and fragile, and after finding out that he is here, her expression is not much better.

"Why come out when it's raining?" Both had to admit that her tone was complaining and reproachful. "Your guards have been looking for you, but they can't find you, they suspect that I kidnapped you, I said no, and then they asked me to help find you."

Xie Qingqiu simply explained a fact, and more or less brought some emotions in it, Bai Qi didn't like to listen to it, but he did know that it was his distraction that caused the embarrassing scene now.

"I'm sorry, it was still sunny when I came out, and I missed the time just after a daze."

Xie Qingqiu waved her hand at him, she didn't really want to blame him for anything, after all, it wouldn't cost her much effort to come out once. And the other party did help him.

"Let's go......" As soon as she wanted to open her mouth and let Bai Qi go back with her, she suddenly felt a cramping pain in her lower abdomen, almost crushing her stomach and intestines.

The strength of her body was completely lost in a moment, and she could no longer hold the umbrella, so the heavy and wide umbrella slammed into the ground, and even broke one of the umbrella bones when it collided with the hard stone.

She clutched her abdomen, trembling. His face became even paler, and his whole body was like a piece of A4 paper that had been crumped, fragile and fragile.

"What's wrong with you?" Bai Qi was frightened by her sudden change, and quickly walked to understand Qingqiu's side, supported her, and then used all his strength to help her to a place where she could shelter from the rain. "Is it a stomachache? Is it uncomfortable? ”

His words were suspicious of knowingly asking, but Xie Qingqiu still answered him generously.

"My stomach hurts suddenly." She had some difficulty speaking, and the words she spat out were all staccato words. "It hurts."

"Okay, okay, I know, don't talk about it." Bai Qi was very at a loss, he had never encountered such a situation.

Hurriedly helped Xie Qingqiu to sit down in a dry place, and then he didn't know what to do.

After turning around helplessly several times, seeing that the expression on Xie Qingqiu's face was still very painful, and there was no sign of relief, he decided to go back to the guards first, and then let the guards come to help bring her back.

"I'll go back and call someone first, you wait here, bear with me for a while."

Xie Qingqiu no longer had the strength to answer him, and of course he didn't need that answer.

But just as he was about to turn around and leave the place, and return to the hut to call for someone, the clod of earth on the hillside in front of him suddenly collapsed.

Bai Qi knew that this thing was called a mudslide, but he didn't expect to encounter it on his back like this, or at such an urgent moment, sometimes his luck is really not very good, he has to admit it.

The only easy way to get in and out has been thickly covered with sliding stones and dirt. Trying to climb over it is as difficult as climbing over a hill. Everywhere else is unknown and dangerous, and it is really difficult for him.

Even Xie Qingqiu, who was in severe pain, was attracted by this loud noise, and she took the opportunity to see the embarrassment and helplessness on Bai Qian's face, so she endured the pain and said to him: "It's okay, it's okay for a while, don't go out, it's very dangerous, and I don't know if it will collapse again." ”

Of course, Bai Qi knew that what she said made sense, if it collapsed again and he was unfortunately covered by a mudslide, then even if fate was merciful, he might not be able to survive with sound limbs.

But Xie Qingqiu is now sick and uncomfortable, in this barren and wild place, it is still raining so heavily outside, he can't even make a fire to keep them both warm and feel better.

Bai Qi felt very powerless.

At this time, Xie Qingqiu released her imperial divine bird.

I saw that she took out a small round ball from her body, and the small round ball was gently pinched by her and a gap was opened. Many light particles floated out of it, and after floating in the air for a while, they condensed into an entity, an Imperial Divine Bird that was as red as a flame.

The divine bird circled in the air, let out a few crisp chirps, and then stood on the shoulders of Qing He, who was curled up and still shivering.

But it only took more than ten seconds for it to come out, and Bai Qi clearly felt that the air around him had become much warmer and drier, and more exaggerated, the clothes on his body seemed to be gradually dried, and this heat would not burn people.

"Is this the Imperial Divine Bird?" When he saw the creature he had loved for a long time, he forgot what his current situation was like, and began to unconsciously sigh at this magical sight.

Xie Qingqiu didn't have much strength either, but he still nodded politely to him, and then handed his shoulder outward, as if to allow him to make more excessive movements, such as touching this divine bird.

This divine bird is very well-behaved and obedient, it has been standing on Xie Qingqiu's shoulder without moving, as if it has received a message from its master.

So when Bai Ji reached closer, it didn't leave.

Its appearance was so vigorous and proud, and its long tail feathers swayed slightly on Qing Qiu's shoulders. When it saw Bai Qi's obvious admiration, its big eyes seemed to reveal a look of pride and pride.

Bai Qian didn't know if this was his imagination.

He stretched out his index finger and carefully touched it, and the wings of the bird were so soft that it made people feel like they were touching a fine silk.

After releasing it, both of them felt a lot better, and Xie Qingqiu gradually recovered from that pain, and the expression on his face was finally not so painful.

Bai Qian also breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at it.

"Be careful!" However, after a few minutes, Bai Qi heard a reminder of Qingqiu.
