The world is a bitter sea, and people struggle within it.
Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 439 The Prostitute's Waiting (6)
"Little cat." Shi Yi gently applied the medicine to her, and occasionally touched her nose.
Huo'er thought about how she had just fallen and attracted so many people's attention. She couldn't help but blush. She grabbed the young lady's sleeve and whispered coquettishly: "Fortunately, Huo'er has the young lady, otherwise I would have been laughed at for a long time."
She sat on the stairs crying and crying in a mess. It was the young lady who pulled her up, changed her into her own clean clothes, and personally fetched water to clean the wound on her palm.
"I'm glad to know, little cat." Shi Yi applied the medicine to her and didn't forget to pinch her face.
Originally a skinny little girl, she had gained some weight in half a month.
"Young lady, have I gained a lot of weight?" Huo'er also raised her hand to touch her face. It was fleshy and elastic. In the past, she would never have dared to think that she could gain weight in this chaotic world. At that time, her biggest wish was to have enough food.
"It looks better now. It's juicy, like a peach." Shi Yi turned around to wash her hands, but she was reluctant to
part with the child. Huo'er didn't notice her strangeness, and was still thinking about General Fu, so she asked, "Miss, what did you say to General Fu?"
"Nothing." Shi Yi picked up the basin and walked out.
"Nothing, why does it feel like General Fu's face looks strange?" Huo'er raised her newly bandaged hand and touched her forehead, always feeling that this matter was not as simple as the young lady said.
Soon, she realized that her intuition was right.
After Fu Jian returned to his room, he kept thinking about Liu Shiyi, thinking about every intersection between him and her, thinking about every word he said to her, thinking about the tacit understanding between him and her on the battlefield... The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt.
In the second half of the night, he suddenly thought of her words "choose a day to leave", and he felt even more uncomfortable.
He didn't actually mean to drive her away.
In the current chaotic world, no matter where you go, you can't be safe. Besides, she is a weak woman, where can she go if she leaves?
He wanted to find another opportunity to be frank with her, but he had to give up when he thought of the emperor's will. He would escort the prince back to Dongdu in two days. His future was uncertain. If he implicated her, wouldn't he feel guilty?
Because of what happened during the day, Huo'er didn't sleep well all night, and it was already late at night when she fell asleep. This also caused her to not get up in time the next day.
Shiyi wanted to say goodbye to Huo'er properly, but she slept so soundly, so he had to give up. Before leaving, he couldn't bear to leave, so he took off his personal jade pendant and placed it on her bedside.
The two of them met, which was more or less fate. It's also good to leave the jade pendant as a thought. In this way, there will be one more person in the world who misses Liu Shiyi.
Shiyi left silently on purpose, so naturally no one would know where she was going. But after leaving the inn, he couldn't help but look back.
On the stairs behind her, Fu Jian was looking at her steadily.
She looked at him, chuckled and left.
Fu Jian went back to his room. He hadn't been able to sleep well last night because he thought she would leave. He waited here out of his intuition, but he saw her leave. He actually wanted to keep her, but he didn't dare to. In the troubled times, he, as a general, was just living with his head tied to his belt, living from today to tomorrow. If he kept her, it would hurt her. At this time, he probably didn't understand his own feelings.
When Huo'er woke up, the sun was already shining on her butt. She almost jumped out of the bed, and then she began to look for the young lady everywhere. She searched the room several times but didn't see her figure. After putting on her clothes, she went out and searched up and down several times. On the way, she met Deputy General Wei who was going back to his room to rest, and was stopped.
"Like a headless fly, what are you looking for?" Deputy General Wei saw that he couldn't stop her, so he simply stretched out his legs to stop her from leaving.
"Get out of the way. I can't find the young lady." Huo'er's face was full of anxiety, as if the young lady was not missing, but was about to die.
"It's just that I can't find her. Why do you look so sad?" Vice General Wei couldn't help complaining to her.
"Don't you understand? In such a chaotic world, Miss Liu is as beautiful as a flower. If she leaves alone, what good will happen to her?" Huo'er grabbed his sleeve and wanted to carry him away. She was anxious to find her again. She didn't want that terrible result.
Vice General Wei thought about it. Isn't this true? Miss Liu is so weak that everyone wants to bully her. But he had seen her so majestic on the battlefield. If she really left here, she would be able to protect herself. But no matter what, Miss Liu is just a woman, and a beautiful woman. It is too dangerous to go alone in this chaotic world.
"Don't stop me. I will go find it myself." Seeing that she couldn't push him away, Huo'er simply bit his arm. Vice General Wei felt pain and let her go.
"No need to look for it." The movement of Vice General Wei and Huo'er made it difficult for Fu Jian to ignore. His gloomy face made both Vice General Wei and Huo'er understand something. They immediately became as obedient as quails and waited quietly for him to continue speaking.
"She has left." Fu Jian didn't want to accept the inquiring eyes of the two, so he turned and went downstairs. In
this chaotic world, who is not pitiful?
After he went downstairs, Huo'er cried out "wow".
"I know, I know..." She kept repeating this sentence.
"What do you know, just tell me." Vice General Wei looked at her anxiously, waiting for her to tell what she knew.
Fu Jian suddenly turned her head and looked at Huo'er. Huo'er stopped crying, but didn't dare to speak.
She should have known yesterday that General Fu's livid face must be because of the young lady. He must have driven the young lady away. Otherwise, why would the young lady leave when she lived here well? But she didn't dare to say anything, and couldn't say anything. She hadn't found the young lady yet. If she was driven out of here again, she would have no way to survive.
Fu Jian turned back just to see what was happening behind her, not knowing that because of this look, he had inexplicably become a bad guy.
Deputy General Wei looked at Huo'er, who was crying silently beside his legs, and then looked at General Fu who was walking out. He seemed to understand something. But he was too weak to say anything. After thinking for a while, he squatted down and gently wiped the tears from Huo'er's face.
"No matter what, I will protect you in the future. Don't be afraid."
Huo'er could no longer hold back the grievance in her heart, and burst into tears in his arms.
