Little by little, the darkness faded from the pane. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe night of Huizhou City is coming to an end.

Thorn got up in the faint morning light and went out to get some water to freshen up. Last night, she learned that her father would soon be free, she was in a much more relaxed mood, and when she came back from Qinglong Valley, the fatigue of running for two days took over her body and mind, and she fell asleep without saying a few words to Jun Li. And now, the girl in the mirror has regained her vitality, she thought about going to Jun Li so happily, she unconsciously bent the corners of her mouth and smiled at herself.

The door was suddenly pushed open. She was taken aback, and quickly got up, "Brother Junli......" When she saw that it was him, she breathed a sigh of relief but pouted in confusion. Even if it's Jun Li, he should knock on the door before coming in.

Jun Li stood in the door and looked at her. She wore a long white dress, and she had not had time to add a blouse, and her unpowdered face was purer than jasmine at the beginning of autumn, fresher than the dew in the morning. But there was a layer of sweat floating on his face, and he was a little gray. The mask that was removed, the robe that was torn off, and the white silk and red silk that had been torn for some reason were all wrapped in a ball by him, and crumpled in his hand with the sword.

Of course, the thorn was immediately aware of it—he had never just gotten up. He had just returned from outside. It had been three watches since they had returned here from Qinglong Valley last night, and Jun Li had promised to let her go to rest when she slept, but he seemed to have broken his promise.

"What's going on?" she thought he was looking odd and stepped forward to take something from his hand. "You're out?"

Unexpectedly, Jun Li had already thrown away all the fat in his hand first, only freed his right hand, and hugged her head-on. Thorn was stunned for a moment. Jun Li had hugged her so many times, but this time, she didn't remember those tender moments. He lowered his head and leaned against her neck, so that she was a little struggling for a while, as if she couldn't bear him—she even remembered for a moment that on the slope outside Meizhou City, he who had been attacked by the "Qingyun Hand" and was seriously injured and dying, had also been so helplessly pressed on her shoulder.

"You, what's wrong with you," Thorn was a little suspicious, "you, don't think that if you hug me, I won't ask you anything." Where have you been, tell me quickly!"

"Well, I ...... I went to Qinglong Valley again. It seems that only by relying on can Jun Li gain the courage to speak.

"You're going back again, why?"

"I'm going to see your father, and I want him to promise us. ”

His tone was sluggish, and his voice was low, but this sentence still made Thorn's face red, and he whispered for a while: "You...... You don't even talk to me...... What did Daddy say?"

Jun Li was silent and did not say anything more. The thorn only said that he didn't hear his question clearly, stretched out his hands to gently touch him, and was about to ask again, when he suddenly felt a wet piece of his shirt on his back. The familiar but unusual touch made her feel that something was wrong, and she raised her hand suddenly, and the bright red color of her palm only made her shudder.

"You're hurt!" she screamed in panic as she wrenched herself from his arms, "show me!"

The injury was not too serious, Jun Li had already tried to bandage it with that piece of white silk, but the sword was penetrated from behind, and it was not convenient to deal with the wound by himself, plus he wanted to come back before dawn, and once ran in the forest, the blood could not be stopped, and when he looked at the stab, he saw that the clothes on his back were fainted and red, and he seemed to be seriously injured.

"How can this be? Have you made someone find out? Who dares to hurt you?" "You lie down here first, and I'll go get the medicine." ”

Jun Li was pulled to the edge of the couch by her and sat down suddenly. Probably because there was still poison on the sword, the wound had been painful - so painful that he couldn't forget the moment when he was pierced by the blade. The shadow of the thorn rushing back and forth seemed very blurry and trance-like in his eyes for a while. He still remembered the self who had left the Blue Dragon Valley last night - he had never been so eager to see Thorn as he had been last night and this morning, but he had never been so afraid of seeing her as he had been last night and this morning. At last, the urgency to see her made him rush back—to push open her door without hesitation, thinking that it would be good if only she was here.

His gaze turned to "Lingding", who had been abandoned to the ground by himself. "Lingding" should not have been brought out of Lin'an, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to leave it in the Suzaku Mansion, he was seen by Suzaku or Yiyi and remembered what Song Ke had done, and he was angry in vain. Looking back now, it turns out that everywhere Lingding went, he never escaped the word "betrayal" - the "ominous" of this sword can probably be seen. But then again, if it hadn't been for the fact that Thorn felt that its scabbard was closer to the shape of the black sword and insisted that he replace it with "chasing blood" when he changed his appearance, maybe he would have really lost his life in Qinglong Valley last night.

"Thorn ......," he looked at her vague shadow, "you...... Saved me one more time. ”

"What are you talking about?" Thorn took the medicine, and had already rushed back to the bed, seeing him sitting like this, he didn't know what to say, and he really didn't know whether to feel distressed or angry. "I'll save you, whoever wants to save you, I just want you to don't worry me so much one day!" she said, not caring about any precautions, reaching out to untie his shirt, helping him to lie prone on the couch, telling him not to move, this time I could see clearly, the side ribs on the back were a two-inch-deep sharp blade penetrating the wound, the blood was still gurgling, and there were still slight corrosive marks at the crack.

Surprised, she took the cloth and dipped it in the wound. "It's still poisonous, who is ......?"

"Rest assured, the toxicity is weak. Jun Li turned his head to look at her, and his voice was also weak. "I've put the antidote with those bottles of yours, you can take some and put them on my wound. ”

"Y-you have an antidote?" Thorn searched through his baggage, and sure enough, he found an unfamiliar bottle, "Is this it?"

Jun Li nodded. This bottle is actually the fragmented powder that was not used to make the antidote pill for Suzaku at the beginning, and it was collected now, and now the toxicity of Lingding is slight, and it is shallow when it is poisoned, so it is enough to detoxify it when this powder is applied externally.

The stabbing carefully picked out the corroded flesh of his wound with a needle, sprinkled some medicinal powder on his wound, and then applied the medicine to stop bleeding, but at the end he was still not very relieved, and touched a pill, stuffed it in his mouth, and said, "After you take it, you will feel much better." ”

Jun Li smelled the fragrance of the pill with a blade of grass, vaguely the comfortable feeling he had smelled when he was seriously injured in the past, and swallowed it as he said.

The thorn softened slightly, dipped the cloth in the net, and carefully wiped away the blood around his wound. "What the hell happened, who hurt you?" she asked.

"If I had said it, you would not have been happy. Jun Li said in a low voice.

"That's it, I'll go to the man to settle the score. The stinger said angrily.

"Actually--it was me--I stabbed myself with my sword in order to show your father my heartfelt promise to us......

After Jun Li said this, he turned his face sideways and looked at the thorn a little sneeringly.

Thorn was stunned for a moment. "What?"

"Really. Jun Li said seriously.

"You...... Why are you so stupid?" Stinger stood up. "How can you ......"

She was a little at a loss for what to say. Jun Li, whom she knew, shouldn't have done such a thing. She always felt hard to believe it for a while, but when he said it, she remembered that the wound was indeed the wound of the broken blade, and she couldn't believe it.

"If you stab yourself with a sword—how can you hurt yourself in the back?" she wondered.

"Because ......" Jun Li tried to reach out and gesture at the time, "There is a prison bar in front, I pulled out the sword on my back, and I ...... it with my backhand."

"All right, fool. The thorn didn't really want to hear him talk about the horrible details, interrupted him, sat down, said no more, threw the bloodstained white cloth in his hand into the basin of water, and gently washed it.

Jun Li listened to her tone and believed it, and he was a little speechless for a while, and after a while, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, and the stinger wiped the blood from his wound again.

"If you do such a stupid thing again, even if my father agrees, I won't marry you. She bit her lip and said softly.

"Good. Jun Li responded.

"'Okay'? I said I won't marry you, so you should be 'good'?"

"I said, 'Well, I'm going to stop doing such stupid things.'" ’”

Such a serious response made Thorn's heart suddenly slam into a deer, and she felt that her heart shook more than any kind of sweet words. She suppressed her distraction and remained silent, took another piece of cloth to wrap up his wound, covered his body with a thin quilt, and then got up and said, "You can rest for a while." ”

"I don't want to sleep. Jun Li turned to the side and reached out to hold her, "I think...... Talking to you. ”

"You have to sleep if you don't sleep. Thorn leaned down and whispered. "You haven't rested all night, you've been injured and poisoned, and you still won't be at peace?"

Jun Li really felt a little tired, and most of the pills he had just given him were with a calming effect. But he was still reluctant to let go of the thorn's hand. "And what about you? will you be here with me?"

"I'm here, and I don't feel at ease if I leave you here. The stab replied.

Jun Li was a little relieved, and leaned his head on the pillow. In the end, it is impossible for him to tell her the truth. But in the end, I still don't know what to do next. The more tired he grew, he felt that everything could only be made after waking up and when he was completely calm. And at this moment—he just felt like he couldn't leave her—he couldn't leave her for a moment.
