104 Chapter 104
"After you die, I will remarry immediately."
At dusk, the sun sets in the west, and clouds are entwined in the distant sky, outlining a large area of brilliant red.
The setting sun shines on the water, and the surface of the water is sparkling with golden light.
Xu Qinghe had already taken a nap on the soft couch in the carriage. When he raised his hand to open the curtain, he could not help but be slightly stunned by the beautiful sunset scenery in the wilderness outside.
Wei Che was driving the car himself this time. He drove for as long as she slept.
She pursed her lips, opened the car door and went out.
Wei Che glanced at the girl sitting next to him so openly and said with a smile, "Why did you come out? There's no cushion outside, be careful not to make you uncomfortable."
Xu Qinghe didn't reply, but just asked: "How long will it take?"
Wei Che: "We'll be there by dark. What's the matter? Are you hungry or tired?"
"None."
Xu Qinghe thought about it, sat closer to him, rested her head on his shoulder, and looked at the clouds in the distance.
It was a rare occasion for her to take the initiative like this. Wei Che was so happy that his mouth curled up to the sky. His heart was also filled to the brim. He couldn't help but sigh: "There is no greater blessing in life than this."
Driving to a distant place with the girl you like on your shoulders is definitely a great blessing in life.
Xu Qinghe disliked him: "You are so pretentious."
Wei Che laughed a few times, his shoulders shaking. He only began to calm down after the girl next to him raised her head and glared at him.
The two of them leaned against each other like this, with the warm breeze blowing in front of them, the sound of their lover's heartbeat overlapping with their own in their ears, and they watched the sunset gradually set and disappear from the mountainside bit by bit.
Before long, dusk began to fall.
The carriage was passing through a forest, and birds were chirping in the air. Wei Che said to her, "There are many insects in the summer, and you are usually afraid of them. Go in quickly."
Xu Qinghe naturally didn't want to be bitten by mosquitoes, so he got up and left without any hesitation, leaving him outside alone to feed the mosquitoes.
He had just sat down on the cushion and taken a sip of the drink when he saw the carriage suddenly stop and the sweet drink spilled all over his arms.
Outside, a horse neighed, followed by a strange sound of wind.
Xu Qinghe's heart tightened, and when he was about to push the door open to go out, he found that the car door had been held down by Wei Che from the outside.
"Don't come out."
His voice was so low, it was obvious that something bad had happened.
Xu Qinghe's heart immediately began to tighten, and then he listened to his instructions again: "No matter what happens, don't come out, otherwise you will cause trouble for me."
Xu Qinghe bit her red lips lightly. She didn't know any martial arts, and going out would only cause more trouble. So she had no choice but to take out the dagger that Wei Che had given her from the carriage, and then took out the red jade hairpin on her head. She held it in one hand and leaned against the door with her whole body tense.
There was only the sound of wind outside, and suddenly there seemed to be a swish sound, as if a sharp weapon broke through the air and penetrated into the flesh and blood, making a frightening puffing sound.
He was just driving the carriage and had no weapons in his hands, so he didn't know if he was the one who was injured.
Xu Qinghe tightly grasped the object in his hand. His palms were already covered with sweat, and even his back was covered with sweat.
She couldn't see what was happening outside, she only heard the sound of something being broken, followed by bursts of wailing.
She suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Wei Che's voice was never among those voices.
But not long after, a muffled groan suddenly sounded, as if right in front of the car.
"Wei Che!"
A soft laugh soon rang out from outside through the car door: "Don't worry, it's okay, just stay here and don't worry about anything."
Next, the sounds of sharp weapons sinking into flesh and blood could be heard one after another, but no wailing could be heard anymore, as if the person's voice was strangled in the throat and died before it could come out.
Xu Qinghe didn't know how long he had been leaning against the car in fear. After a long time, the door in front of him was finally opened.
She subconsciously swung the dagger and hairpin in her hand and stabbed forward. Suddenly, there was a loud thunder in the sky and a flash of white light. She realized that the person in front of her was Wei Che, whose half face was soaked in blood.
His hair was wet and stuck to his back.
It turned out that heavy rain and thunder had started outside at some point. The rain fell on the ground, filling the entire forest with a damp wind.
Wei Che grabbed her wrist and raised a weak smile at the corner of his lips.
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Xu Qinghe suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if all the strength in her body had been drained. She slumped to the ground and gasped for a moment, then leaned towards Wei Che who was leaning against the car and reached out to hug him.
The belated fear quickly swept over her. Now, she could only feel at ease by hugging the person in front of her.
However, where her palm touched, it was sticky and hot, and the man's breathing beside her ear became heavier.
Xu Qinghe finally realized something was wrong and quickly let him go. However, although it was raining heavily, there was no more lightning or thunder. It was pitch black all around and she could not see anything at all.
"Wei Che, are you injured?"
She didn't dare touch him carelessly for fear of hurting his wound, and she didn't even notice that her voice had already trembled.
If he hadn't been seriously injured, why would he have remained silent until now?
Wei Che lowered his head and leaned against her shoulder. He gritted his teeth and pulled out an arrow from his abdomen, then reached out and pushed her into the car.
"It's raining heavily outside, come in quickly."
Xu Qinghe dragged him into the car.
She turned on the light in the car and realized that not only was the man's face covered in blood, but his chest and back were also covered in blood and flesh.
She was so shocked that she could hardly breathe. She frantically searched for the medicine she had prepared in advance. Her whole body was shaking, and she couldn't even hold the box in her hands.
Wei Che raised his hand and grasped her wrist, both of them feeling cold.
He smiled weakly and said, "Don't panic, it's just a minor injury."
Xu Qinghe cut open his torn clothes while scolding him, "Can this be considered a minor injury? In your eyes, as long as you're not dead, it's just a minor injury? You used to brag about how powerful you were, but now you're like this after facing a few assassins. Stop talking nonsense for a while."
The medicine was sprinkled on the wound, causing immediate burning pain.
"Hiss... that's not my fault. I'm really powerful, but someone just did something bad to me."
Xu Qinghe ignored him and just lowered his head to treat his wound.
Wei Che forced himself to look at her. Fortunately, she didn't cry. If she had been scared to tears, he really wouldn't know what to do.
After bandaging his wound roughly, Xu Qinghe placed him on the couch, opened the car door and drove away. However, he did not expect that the horse, which had been very calm amidst the flash of swords and sabers, suddenly raised its tail, neighed, and ran forward madly.
Xu Qinghe grabbed the car door in time and was not thrown out of the car.
Since the horse had gone mad, she had no choice but to fumble for the dagger she had just used and slowly cut the reins.
The horses suddenly left, and the carriage fell to the ground with a clang. Wei Che inside had already fallen asleep, and both of them rolled on the ground full of mud and sewage.
Xu Qinghe got up from the ground, wiped the rain off his face, and groped his way to find Wei Che, but he touched several cold corpses in a row, and even a headless corpse of someone unknown, with a cold and bloody neck.
She forced herself not to vomit, and after groping for a long time, she finally found Wei Che who still had the strength to hold her hand.
The cold fingertips in the palm of my hand moved, and his faint voice, almost hidden by the heavy rain, rang in my ears.
"The rain is too heavy, and I'm seriously injured. The town is half an hour away. Can you leave first and find someone to come back and rescue me?"
Xu Qinghe didn't believe his nonsense. He helped the man up and leaned him against himself, moving out step by step.
"By the time I come back with someone, you'll have bled dry and turned into a corpse. Why would I come back to look for you?"
At this moment, he actually still had the mind to laugh out loud: "Then don't look back, just keep going. Tomorrow morning, when there are many people around, go to the other courtyard and find the Chen brothers. They will tell you everything, and then come to collect my body."
Only after learning the whole truth was she willing to return the body to him.
At this moment, Xu Qinghe didn't bother to figure out the meaning behind his words. She just said, "Collecting your body? You're dreaming. If you die, I won't collect your body. I'll naturally turn around and remarry."
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, splashing on the ground with a loud noise. Xu Qinghe's face was covered with water and he could hardly see the road ahead.
One can imagine how painful the wound he had just bandaged must be.
Wei Che was silent for a long time before he continued, "Remarry...Who are you going to marry?"
Xu Qinghe deliberately said: "Who else could it be? Of course it's Wei Ming. You know I liked him before."
Wei Che felt wronged: "You clearly said that you only like me."
Xu Qinghe said, "I was just trying to trick you."
It was pitch black in front of her eyes. She could only rely on the sound of rain to make out that there were no trees blocking the way ahead. However, she could not see the bumpy gravel under her feet. She was suddenly tripped by the stone and they both fell to the ground.
Xu Qinghe hurried to find Wei Che, but someone grabbed her wrist and pressed her to the ground. When a white light appeared in the sky again, she saw his red eyes.
He said: "Xu Qinghe, you are not allowed to--"
He didn't finish the rest of his words and collapsed on her.
Amidst the sound of heavy rain, the man's broken voice was heard.
"Well, if you want to marry... then marry."
"I'm sorry, I lied to you again..."
The sound of rain was everywhere, drowning out the calls.
**
He seemed to be running in a dark corridor with no end in sight. The surroundings were pitch black and he could not see anything, so he could only run instinctively.
Suddenly, a small light flashed in front of him, and a bright girl came with her backlight, calling him with a smile: "Xie Qi, why did you come just now?"
Before he could answer, he saw a cold figure appear beside the girl. The girl frowned and said to him, "Wei Che, you are so slow."
He suddenly froze, facing the two people in front of him, and suddenly didn't know which one of them to approach.
At this time, a question rang in his ears: Is he Xie Qi or Wei Che?
——Who is he?
"Xie Qi, I'm Xie Qi... Xie Qi..."
He suddenly opened his eyes, like a poor man who had just struggled out of the water, grabbing the air at his lips in big gulps. As his chest rose and fell, he accidentally hurt the wound on his body, and the pain made him sweat coldly.
Amidst the waves of pain, he quickly remembered that he was fighting with someone on a rainy night. For some reason, he suddenly felt weak all over and fell victim to many attacks. In the end, he managed to subdue everyone with great difficulty.
What about Qinghe?
He suddenly stood up and struggled to get out of bed.
At this moment, the door was pushed open with a creaky sound, and Xu Qinghe came in with a bowl of medicine. Seeing that his wound was about to break, he hurriedly threw the bowl away and rushed over to subdue him.
"Wei Che, you're crazy with such a serious injury!"
But she saw the person in front of her staring at her blankly, and after a while, he reached out and hugged her.
