It seems like a long, long time has passed, and it seems as if it has never flowed.

Yu Qin felt her head swell and swell, and her head almost cracked. Her delicate and slender eyebrows twitched a few times, trying to open the corners of her eyes, but in vain.

I took a few breaths of air lightly and felt the humidity in the air, as if my whole body was soaked with water. She remembered the last scene where Xu Huaigu took her into the water, and she no longer remembered what happened next.

A strong riverside breeze blew, carrying a cool breath across her cheeks, sobering her up a little. She finally freed herself from her slump and opened her eyes slightly.

What greeted you was a clear blue sky, clear and blue, cloudless, and excellent weather. But she immediately felt as if she had choked on a lot of water, and her chest was stuffy and painful, and she coughed unconsciously.

The sound of boots treading immediately sounded in her ears, and then a pair of hands helped her up, patted her back gently, and said, "Finally woke up, you have been in a coma for a day." ”

Yu Qin struggled to open her eyes and saw Xu Huaigu in front of her.

The two of them were on the bank of a large river, and beyond the clearing were a man-high blue-green reeds that could not be seen.

The fog on this large river is so heavy that you can't see the other side at a glance.

This is the positive water of a continent in Dongfuyao Continent - Qi Shui.

The wind on the edge of the water was very strong, and the reeds were bent down and rustled in unison.

Yu Qin felt that this scene was like a dream. She trembled and asked, "Tell me, why am I here?" ”

Xu Huaigu replied: "We floated all the way down from the upper reaches of that river, and then you choked on the water and fainted. ”

Yu Qin's face turned pale and asked carefully, "What about my father?" ”

He ...... Carried away by water. ”

Yu Qin said in a daze: "No, it's not true. ”

Xu Huaigu lowered his head and said bitterly, "No, it's true. ”

Yu Qin's face suddenly became ugly, she pushed away Xu Huaigu, who was holding her, struggled to get up, and her tone was unquestionable: "No, you lied to me!" It's fake, I'm going home now. ”

She stumbled, but she was resolute, and she walked towards Qishui, who was so thick that she couldn't see the other side.

The surface of the water covered her ankles, then her knees, and then her waist, and she walked deeper and deeper, but her steps did not slow down in the slightest.

Seeing this, Xu Huaigu hurriedly rushed forward, grabbed her, and said loudly: "Yu Qin, I didn't lie to you!" It's all true, everything you remember is true, stop kidding yourself! ”

Yu Qin looked at Xu Huaigu indifferently, and said in despair: "Then you tell me, what should I do?" I lost my only loved one, what should I do? What can I do! ”

She wanted to shake off Xu Huaigu's hand fiercely, but Xu Huaigu also used enough strength, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free.

Yu Qin's mood collapsed all of a sudden.

She crouched down and cried, "You're all going to bully me!" That group of officers and soldiers bullied me, Yu An bullied me, and even you bullied me! I just want to go home, can't I? ”

When Xu Huaigu heard this, he was silent.

He also squatted down and said softly: "Yu An, he wants you to live, you don't let him down." ”

Yu Qin was still crying: "He's a bastard!" Leave me alone, I have nothing now, it is better to let me die together! ”

Xu Huaigu was stunned.

He quietly approached Yu Qin's ear and whispered, "And me, you still have me." ”

……

Xu Huaigu shuttled among the reeds alone.

It was dusk and it was dark. He walked swiftly among the reeds, looking for something to fill his stomach.

At that time, it was early morning when Yu Qin woke up, and he finally calmed Yu Qin's emotions. But he was still not at ease, and stayed by Yu Qin's side until dusk.

He also knew that Yu Qin hadn't eaten for more than a day, and she must be hungry. Seeing that Yu Qin was finally in a better mood at this time, and would not seek death, she left her and came to the reeds to find something to eat.

The reeds were dense and vast, and he walked five or six miles into them without seeing the end, but getting denser and denser. Fortunately, there was nothing in the reeds, and he found a small nest of quails.

Xu Huaigu drove away the quails in the two nests, and saw that there were several quail eggs inside, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He walked back with a few quail eggs in his arms, but when he was about to reach the river, he suddenly heard the sound of the wind blowing the reeds and seemed to be mixed with shouting, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He hurriedly ran over, and sure enough, he saw Yu Qin being entangled by an officer and soldier who was chasing down, and he suddenly gave birth to a nameless fire.

The officer and soldier were bitten hard by Yu Qin at this time, and he took the long knife in his hand and gestured at her a few times. But because of Qi Wen's order to catch the mouth alive, he only scared Yu Qin, but who knew that he couldn't scare Yu Qin in the slightest.

This officer and soldier was also helpless, fortunately, it was very painful to be bitten by Yu Qin, but as soon as he thought that he could be rewarded as a county order after catching her, this soldier who didn't know a single word was secretly excited.

He made up his mind that when he became the county magistrate, the first thing he would do was to let Dr. Han, who had the best medical skills in that county but charged an extremely expensive fee, treat his mother's tuberculosis, so that her mother would no longer have to cough all day.

He also thought of the half-grown child who usually begged on the street corner, and his sister, who was two years younger than him.

The two children are also pitiful, their parents have long since died, and they can only live on the street by begging for handouts. It seems that the last time the manure pit of the thatched toilet in the yamen gushed out, the smell was so stinking that no one dared to deal with it, it was this kid who worked in the manure pit for most of the day for thirty copper coins.

He felt that it was not easy for everyone to live, and he should also find a good job for that child.

and those neighbors, relatives and old friends in the past, he has to take care of one or two.

As for what will happen to this girl in the future, it's not that he doesn't know, he just doesn't want to think about it.

As soon as his thoughts came to this, a fierce wind hit the back of his neck. Before he could react, his head was cut off by the sword.

Blood splattered.

Xu Huaigu picked up the blood-colored short sword "Cangshui" in his hand and put it in front of him, and the cold light of the sword blade reflected his face.

His face was still as delicate and calm as usual, and he didn't feel anything in his heart.

This is the first time he has killed people today.

When I escaped from the blockade in the morning, I was killed and I was still quite excited and uneasy. But this time, there was no feeling in my heart, as if it was the wolf of Astragalus Mountain who was cut off by a sword.

No, the wolf is much smarter than this stupid officer. They know how to scheming, know how to be vigilant at all times, and know what they can and can't provoke, so Astragalus Mountain will always be a forbidden place for human beings.

Yu Qin looked at Xu Huaigu who suddenly appeared with some shock, hesitated for a moment, and thanked him, "Thank you." ”

Xu Huaigu sighed and said, "It's my fault, I promised Yu An, I shouldn't leave you." ”

Yu Qin did not speak, and the atmosphere was very heavy.

Only then did Xu Huaigu realize his mistake. She couldn't mention Yu An again in front of Yu Qin, which only reminded her of this morning's nightmare.

Xu Huaigu was about to apologize, but saw her stretch out her hand to Xu Huaigu.

Xu Huaigu was a little helpless, thinking that the little girl was really still a little girl, was she hungry?

He took out the quail eggs that he had kept so well, and said, "I only found these quail eggs, so let's make do with them." ”

Yu Qin was as cold as ice and said three words.

Xu Huaigu was stunned.

"Bring the sword."
