When I was woken up, it was already late at night.
The rain has stopped.
The forest was eerily quiet after the rainstorm, and there was no sound at all.
Ji Yuqi was dreaming that she was sitting in the restaurant of the Imperial Mansion, feasting on delicious, tender and glutinous braised pork. When Pei Yucheng's stern voice rang deep in her ears, her drowsy brain could not distinguish between reality and dream. She muttered subconsciously, "Pei Yucheng, there are still three pieces of braised pork that Aunt Liu helped me pick up!"
Pei Yucheng was silent for a while before responding, "Hmm~, we'll continue eating when we get back to the capital."
Ji Yuqi sat up and took a long time to fully understand that the meal he had just had was just a dream. However, he still felt aggrieved: "Can't you wait until I finish eating those three pieces before waking me up?!"
"The docks have always been a key area for inspection. Not to mention that I cut off the ear of the second-in-command of the Military Control Commission. I'm afraid he won't stop until he finds me and kills me. So, we must find a contact before daybreak."
Ji Yuqi naturally understood the truth.
But.
She had no strength left in her body.
I don’t know if it’s because I woke up suddenly from a dream and my body functions haven’t fully recovered, or... after being caught in the rain for two consecutive times, my body finally couldn’t take it anymore.
She was so dizzy that she couldn't even walk steadily.
at last.
Pei Yucheng still carried him on his back.
Ji Yuqi lay on his back. In the clear moonlight that came down after the rainstorm, she saw that Pei Yucheng's face seemed a little pale. She belatedly remembered the wound on his abdomen and immediately wanted to slide down.
She hadn't eaten much these days, so Pei Yucheng naturally didn't eat either.
She couldn't believe that she was so weak all over, but Pei Yucheng still had endless strength.
What's more, he was injured and bled so much.
I'm afraid he's even weaker than her.
result.
Just as Ji Yuqi was about to exert force, Pei Yucheng's voice sounded, "Don't move."
"..." Ji Yuqi bit his lip and hesitated for a few seconds before speaking, "I'm quite heavy. Will it cause your wound to split if you carry me on your back all the time?"
Pei Yucheng said, "Helping you walk will probably take more energy. If you step on a snake, it will jump onto me, which will make my injury even worse."
“…” Ji Yuqi.
Is this impossible?!
Whenever I get the chance, I'll scold her.
That's too much of a vengeance.
Ji Yuqi didn't say anything else.
One is to conserve energy.
Second, there is nothing to say.
When we were looking for a place to shelter from the rain, Pei Yucheng had clearly said: We are not far from the pier.
But.
Ji Yuqi felt that Pei Yucheng was carrying her on his back and walked in the forest for a long, long time, but there was no end in sight. She was about to ask: "Did we go in the wrong direction?"
after all.
The terrain of the forest is similar, and without any instruments to help identify the direction, it is very normal to get lost.
Aren't they going in completely opposite directions?
Just when I was extremely worried, suddenly an extremely angry roar was heard.
Ji Yuqi's back stiffened.
Before she could figure out what was going on, she felt herself sinking. The next second, Pei Yucheng's voice rang out: "Ji Yuqi, come down!"
Ji Yuqi got off Pei Yucheng's back swiftly.
Then, Pei Yucheng led him forward for about three hundred meters, and the light of a burning torch came from the bottom of the slope in the distance.
Sure enough, just as Pei Yucheng guessed: he would not stop until he was killed.
