Chapter II: Distress
After Huang Meiniang left, Bai Yimeng stood quietly in the dark for a while, lowered her eyes, and then turned around and walked in, only to meet Fu Yun when she went upstairs after entering.
Fu Yun had been waiting at the inn, and after waiting for a long time, he didn't see the two of them come back, so he prepared to go downstairs to look for it.
As soon as I was about to go down, I saw Huang Meiniang in the corridor upstairs, and when I saw that she was the only one coming up, I asked, "What about her?" ”
"She? Who? White Girl? I guess it's still outside! Huang Meiniang looked at Fu Yun with a light smile.
"What did you say to her?" Fu Yun looked at Huang Meiniang a little nervously.
"Ah Yun, since you are so curious about what I told her, why don't you ask her yourself?"
After speaking, Huang Meiniang walked past Fu Yun and walked to her room.
Seeing this, Fu Yun turned around and went downstairs to look for someone, and just walked to the staircase when he saw someone coming in.
Fu Yun stood at the staircase on the second floor and watched Bai Yimeng slowly walk in, until he reached the staircase on the first floor, he looked up and saw Fu Yun, and smiled slightly.
Fu Yun walked down the stairs quickly to her side, looking at her with a concerned expression: "Why did you only come in now?" ”
Huang Meiniang glanced at them at the door upstairs, walked into the room with a smile and closed the door.
"The wind at night was very cool, and it was very comfortable, so it blew a little longer."
"Are you okay? I see you're a little pale. ”
"It's okay, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired from the journey." Bai Yimeng looked up at him reassuringly.
"What did you all talk about?"
The two chatted as they went upstairs.
"It's nothing, it's Madame who is comforting me, so that I can rest and rest when I get to the Night Country, don't worry about anything else, I'm afraid I'm not used to it, and she also told me some of the customs of the Night Country." Bai Yimeng said softly while looking at him.
Only when facing Fu Yun, Bai Yimeng will have a different look and a different expression, as long as he is there, his world will not collapse, because now she is only him.
"This is the night country, no longer the night country, there will be people around us to protect us, have a good rest tonight, don't worry, we will be able to get to the capital in a few days." When he came to the door, Fu Yun stretched out his hand to push the door open, let Bai Yimeng walk in first and then enter the door, walked to the table, and poured Bai Yimeng a cup of hot tea.
Bai Yimeng took the tea, lowered his head and took a sip, then held the teacup in his hands, looked up at Fu Yun and said, "With you, I'm not worried." ”
"I live next door, call me if there's something." Fu Yun raised his hand and touched her head.
"Well, you also have a good rest, during this time, you are very tired and hard for me, and you have never had a good rest." Bai Yimeng stretched out his right hand and stroked Fu Yun's handsome but slightly tired face, feeling a little distressed.
Fu Yun smiled, got up and went out, paused at the door, looked at her with a comforting smile, and then closed the door and left.
It's just that after closing the door, Fu Yun's face instantly became dark and uncertain, and his eyes were sharp.
After Bai Yimeng closed the door, he sat down at the table with a gloomy expression, and then got up and walked to the bed, and lay down on the bed with his clothes.
During this period of time, I was in a hurry every day, hiding in Tibet, and I didn't have a good rest, I should have been very tired, and I should have fallen asleep soon, but I remembered what Huang Meiniang said to her in the courtyard again, and I couldn't sleep with my eyes open.
The next morning, Fu Yun got up and knocked on the door, no one responded, knocked a few more times, still no one responded, I was shocked, so I pushed open the door and walked in, looking at no one in the room, the quilt on the bed was neat, I bent down and touched the bed, the bed was cold, Fu Yun immediately turned around and ran downstairs, and saw Bai Yimeng standing in the courtyard in a daze at the door of the inn.
He took a deep breath, and his hanging heart gradually let go, and then slowly walked over.
The morning sun shone softly on her beautiful face, like a fairy who was not stained with dust.
When I got closer, I saw her tilting her head slightly, looking at the sky intently, but her face was full of exhaustion.
"What are you looking at? It's so fascinating to see that I didn't even notice it after standing here for so long. Looking at Bai Yimeng, who was in a trance, and didn't even notice that he had walked to her and stood beside her for so long, Fu Yun couldn't help but be slightly worried.
Hearing this, Bai Yimeng retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at Fu Yun, and smiled slightly: "It's nothing, it's just that I got up early and came out to have a look." ”
Fu Yun looked at Bai Yimeng's pale smile and said with concern: "With a tired face, haven't you rested?" ”
"It's a little unaccustomed." Listening to his words, Bai Yimeng still smiled and whispered.
Fu Yun sighed softly, and there seemed to be nothing he could do, so he took her hand and walked towards the store.
"Eat something first, and you'll need to keep going later." Fu Yun took her hand and sat down at the low table, ordering some breakfast.
"Okay."
"Ah Yun, White Girl, you got up so early!" Huang Meiniang saw them on the second floor, walked down the stairs, and before she arrived, she was full of smiles, and while calling them affectionately, she came over and sat down at the table.
Huang Meiniang is already beautiful, and she is also a rare beauty in the night country, with a bright smile, giving people a dignified and generous and informal feeling, which makes people feel very comfortable to get along with.
Huang Meiniang looked at the breakfast that was served, and seemed a little surprised, and then looked at Fu Yun with a smile on her face, and said, "These are all things I like to eat, Ah Yun still remembers what I like to eat!" ”
"Eat it! After eating, it's good to hurry. Fu Yun said with a faint smile.
After speaking, he took the lead in moving chopsticks and eating.
And Bai Yimeng didn't speak since Huang Meiniang came, and listened quietly to Huang Meiniang and Fu Yun.
After a pause, he also moved his chopsticks to eat slowly, although he had a soft smile on his face, but his heart was like being pulled by someone, and he was a little uncomfortable.
"Ah Yun, how are you doing in the late country in the past few years?" Huang Meiniang looked at Fu Yun with concern.
"Good."
"Are you used to eating? Is there any difference between that and the Night Country? ”
"I'm very used to it, there is not much difference between the Evening Country and the Night Country, probably because the wine over there is stronger, and the wine in our Night Country is not so strong and not so choking!"
"Who are your friends over there?"
Huang Meiniang and Fu Yun asked and answered, as if they had completely forgotten Bai Yimeng.
After chatting for a while, Huang Meiniang seemed to suddenly remember Bai Yimeng, and said, "Bai girl, you see, I was happy with Ah Yun, and I didn't have time to ask you!" The White Maiden won't blame, right? ”
Bai Yimeng raised her eyes and looked at her and smiled: "How come, you haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's normal to talk, how can I blame it!" ”
After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to eat wholeheartedly, as if he really didn't care at all.
Hearing this, Huang Meiniang looked at Bai Yimeng and smiled, while Fu Yun frowned, but didn't say anything and continued to eat.
The three of them finished breakfast in the chatter and laughter between Fuyun and Huang Meiniang.
During the meal, Huang Meiniang kept eating with a smile on the corner of her mouth, talking to Fu Yun, and occasionally raised her eyes to look at Fu Yun and Bai Yimeng when she spoke.
"I've eaten, have you eaten well?" Huang Meiniang wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, took a sip of a cup of tea, put the teacup on the table, and looked at Bai Yimeng and asked.
"I've eaten too." Bai Yimeng put down his chopsticks, took the water on the table and drank it.
"Hmm." Fu Yun also put down his chopsticks.
"Now that we've eaten, let's keep going!"
"Okay."
The group continued to walk for another two days.
In the past two days, the three of them have been dining together and walking all the way as usual, Huang Meiniang is still as enthusiastic as ever, and the relationship between the three of them seems to be getting more and more familiar.
It's just that between Fuyun and Bai Yimeng, sometimes there seems to be an invisible membrane, and the two are becoming more and more polite, or Bai Yimeng unilaterally and deliberately widens the distance between the two.
And when Fu Yun faced Bai Yimeng, he became a little silent, he didn't understand what happened to Bai Yimeng, but she was not used to being in a foreign country.
Huang Meiniang looked at everything with a quiet smile and did not speak.
Walking through the shade of the trees, the sunlight casts dappled light and shadows through the gaps between the leaves, and the quiet forest path can only hear the sound of horses' hooves galloping by.
shout
Suddenly, a feathered arrow came from the side of the team, which was quickly blocked by the reacting guards.
However, in an instant, feathered arrows were shot from the woods on both sides, and the group drew their swords to block, but some were unfortunately shot by feathered arrows and fell to the ground and died, and many horses were shot by arrows and fell to the ground.
A feathered arrow was shooting towards Bai Yimeng.
"Yimeng, be careful." Fu Yun's nervous voice sounded.
I saw Bai Yimeng, who was riding on a horse, bending backwards, and the feather arrows whistled by; A few more feather arrows came, and the horse fell to the ground with an arrow, Bai Yimeng rolled and rolled to the side, avoiding the feather arrows that came from him.
Fu Yun was originally next to Huang Meiniang, holding a long sword, and the two were cooperating with each other to resist the feather arrows, and when they saw Bai Yimeng's horse arrow fall to the ground and Bai Yimeng fell to the ground, he turned around and ran towards Bai Yimeng.
It's just that before he got to Bai Yimeng's side, he saw Bai Yimeng rushing towards the woods on one side like an arrow.
After Bai Yimeng fell to the ground, he quickly half-squatted up, glanced at the direction of the woods, and ran towards the woods while dodging the feather arrows.
"Yimeng......" Fuyun saw Bai Yimeng running towards the woods, and he also ran towards the woods after him, and soon disappeared into the woods.
Huang Meiniang saw Fu Yun running towards Bai Yimeng, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she turned around and threw herself into the battle again.
After a rain of arrows, the black-clothed people in the woods on both sides rushed out with swords in hand, and the guards brought by Huang Meiniang scuffled together, and people kept falling, but there were too many black-clothed people, and Huang Meiniang and the others were completely suppressed, so they could only fight and retreat.
In the woods, in addition to the black-clothed man who rushed out, at least half of the people stayed behind to fight against Bai Yimeng and Fuyun.
I saw Bai Yimeng holding a short knife in his hand, the knife fell in his hand, blood gushed out, and in an instant, several people in black fell to the ground, and snatched each other's knives, with both hands left and right, killing the eyes of the besieging her with horror.
And Fu Yun held a long sword in his hand, his hand stretched and retracted, the sword stabbed and picked, and the man in black continued to fall to the ground.
