Chapter 52 Chapter 52 "Do you want me to kiss you?"...
He can't see anymore.
Shu Yun was in a panic. The warm blood on her fingertips turned cold. She took out the handkerchief with trembling hands and wiped the blood off the man's face.
The sound of silk tearing suddenly rang out. Shu Yun stood on tiptoe and covered the man's bleeding eyes with the silk cloth torn from her dress.
Shu Yun tore off another piece of cloth to bandage the cut on Xiao Ye's back. Her height just reached the man's shoulder. The cut ran diagonally down from the shoulder and was as long as a palm.
The blood quickly soaked the bandage.
Shuyun felt a sore nose and looked up at the man who came to save her.
Xiao Ye smelled her breath and reached out in the darkness, feeling the top of her hair from memory. He took a step forward and held her in his arms. His palm fell on the back of her neck, and his fingertips gently stroked her. He asked nervously, "Did he hurt you?"
Shuyun's wrist was rubbed by the rope and was bleeding, but compared to the injuries Xiao Ye suffered, it was nothing.
"No." Shu Yun shook her head, extremely worried about his injuries.
Li Ce was dead, and all the remaining rebels in the cave were captured. Xiao Ye ordered Fufeng to count the number of the remaining rebels.
Xiao Ye held Shu Yun's hand and said, "Sister, be your brother's eyes."
His eyes were injured and he couldn't see. Shu Yun held his cold hand and led him out of the cave.
A human-like horse came over, but Shuyun didn't know how to ride a horse. Now Xiao Ye was blind and injured, so how to go back became a problem.
She was holding the man's hand, and suddenly his arm was across her waist. In the blink of an eye, Shuyun was sitting on the saddle with one arm in his arms.
Xiao Ye groped and grabbed the reins, and stepped on the stirrup several times before he finally got it to rest. He climbed onto the horse, sat behind Shu Yun, and rode the same horse with her.
Xiao Ye said, "This horse understands human nature and knows the way back."
The horse carrying two people went down the mountain. Xiao Ye held the reins. Shu Yun was petite and sat in his arms. She looked at the subordinate leading the way in front and told him to go that way.
The valley was chilly, the grass and trees damp with fallen frost. Yet, the man's arms were warm. Thinking of how he had tried several times before finally getting his foot in the stirrup, Shuyun felt a pang of discomfort.
As the horses rode through the forest, Shuyun asked her friend, "Brother, Lin Yunxi is gone. How did she die?"
Xiao Ye said, "Li Ce sent people to abduct her to Huainan. When the King of Huainan rebelled, Miss Lin was abducted. Later, when I was chasing the remnants of the rebellion, I found Miss Lin in the Huainan Palace. She delayed Li Ce and let him escape. Later, she committed suicide."
Shuyun sobbed, tears falling from her eyes.
How could Xiao Ye kill Lin Yunxi? It was all Li Ce's slander and provocation. If Li Ce hadn't kidnapped her, Yunxi would not have died.
Xiao Ye patted her shoulder gently, "My condolences."
Shuyun's eyes welled up with tears. How could she mourn? Such a good person was gone just like that.
It was almost dawn when Xiao Ye returned to the house from the mountains. His lips had turned pale due to excessive blood loss, and the bandage on his back was stained red with blood.
Fufeng hurriedly sought out a doctor from the county town.
The doctor first treated the cuts on Xiao Ye's back. The man lay on the bed, took off his bloody shirt, and saw the whip wounds on his back. Shu Yun's pupils constricted, and her heart suddenly ached.
"Yun'er." Xiao Ye's pale lips moved. He didn't hear Shu Yun's voice for a long time. He was panicked and worried that she would take advantage of his injury and blindness to escape.
"I'm here." Shu Yun felt uncomfortable. She sat on the edge of the bed and held his hand with her cold fingers. "I'm here."
Xiao Ye covered his eyes and shook her small hand back.
The doctor frowned and cleaned the wound. "Thank goodness the knife wound didn't hit the bone, sir. The wound is deep, you need to recuperate well."
The doctor sutured the wound, took out hemostatic medicine from the medicine box, sprinkled the powder on the wound, and Xiao Ye held Shu Yun's hand tightly.
The long and deep wound must be painful. Beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead. Shuyun held his hands with both hands.
After bandaging the cuts on his shoulders and back, Xiao Ye sat up. The doctor opened his closed eyelids and carefully examined the condition of his pupils.
The doctor's brows furrowed even more tightly, and Shuyun felt uneasy.
"It's a little difficult, but it's not completely impossible to restore my sight. I'll give it a try."
After applying the compress to Xiao Ye's eyes, the doctor went to the table and prescribed some medicine. Fu Feng took the prescription and went to the pharmacy to get the medicine.
After the doctor finished treating the most important patients, he saw that the girl at the table had a wrist injury and said, "Miss, it's time to apply medicine to you."
"What's wrong with her?" Xiao Ye asked nervously, reaching out to look for Shu Yun. After searching around but couldn't find her, he got up from the bed in a hurry.
The doctor was anxious. "Get down! Get down! We just stopped the bleeding. Don't tear the wound open."
Shu Yun quickly returned to the bedside and helped Xiao Ye lie down. "It's a minor injury. The skin on the wrist was broken. It will be fine after applying some medicine."
Worried that he would get up again, Shu Yun comforted him, "I'll go to the table to get the medicine."
Shuyun applied the ointment and sent the doctor away.
The room became quiet. Shuyun returned to sit on the edge of the bed. Xiao Ye held her hand, as if he could only feel at ease with her around.
Xiao Ye put her hand to his lips, felt the white cloth wrapped around her wrist, and blew gently, "It was my brother who didn't keep a good eye on you, which gave the thief an opportunity to take advantage of you."
Some hot breath fell on her wrist. Shuyun looked at the blind and injured man, and the sour feeling in her heart could not be suppressed.
He was really annoying. He treated her so badly, but sometimes he treated her very well, so well that it made her feel very upset.
Xiao Ye couldn't see, so he naturally didn't know that tears were welling up in Shu Yun's eyes. "You must be tired after all this trouble. Now that we're safe, go to sleep, sister."
Shu Yun pursed her lips and looked at the bed he had occupied. She hesitated for a moment and whispered, "This is my bed. I want to sleep next to you."
She let go of the man's hand, took off her embroidered shoes, crawled from the foot of the bed to the head of the bed, and slept on the inside.
Xiao Ye turned his head to face her, his eyes covered with a piece of white cloth covered with medicine. His handsome features were so close to her, but the eyes under the white cloth were very beautiful.
Shuyun watched, fearing that he would lose his sight forever. The doctors in the county might not be able to cure him, but Wenrong might be able to. With her superb medical skills, she would definitely be able to restore Xiao Ye's sight.
Shu Yun was worried about his eyesight and couldn't sleep. She asked, "I saw it all. How did you get that injury on your back?"
Xiao Ye was silent for a while, then said, "My sister was whipped the night she fled the capital, and was punished in the ancestral hall in the mansion."
Shu Yun was slightly startled. Mrs. Cui was so fond of Xiao Ye that she couldn't wait to punish him with family rules. It was obviously someone else.
What mistake did he make to be beaten like this?
Xiao Ye reached out and held her in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, saying, "It's all in the past, let's not talk about him."
Xiao Ye gently stroked her back, "Rest, sister."
Shuyun nodded. She was not sleepy at first, but as she snuggled in his arms, her nerves, which had been tense all night, relaxed. She gradually became sleepy and fell asleep.
…
Shu Yun was awakened by a noise in her sleep. Xiao Ye was no longer by her side. He got out of bed and groped around the room. A stool fell to the ground, and he must have tripped over it.
It was bright outside and the man was walking with difficulty in the house. He didn't know if there was any obstacle ahead, so he reached out his hand tentatively and felt around. After confirming that there was no debris, he took a step forward.
He groped his way to the table, touched the kettle on the table, picked up the teacup and poured water. The water poured onto the back of his hand. Xiao Ye paused and adjusted the position of the kettle. It was still a little off and spilled onto the table. He adjusted it again, and finally there was water in the cup.
Shuyun's eyes turned red. She lifted the quilt and got out of bed in her slippers.
"Is my sister awake?"
Xiao Ye had excellent hearing and looked over when he heard the sound.
The spilled water flowed down from the table. Shuyun came to his side and wiped the water off the back of his hand. "It's me, brother."
He even made such a mess pouring a glass of water.
Shu Yun's voice was a little choked. "Brother, let's go back to the capital. Doctor Wen will definitely be able to cure your eyes."
Xiao Ye said: "Return to the Marquis' Mansion."
Shu Yun was silent for a while, then nodded, "Okay, let's go back to the Marquis' Mansion with my brother."
She really couldn't bear to see him like this. It would take half a month to get from Jinyang County to the capital. His eyes needed treatment as soon as possible and there was no time to delay.
Since she had decided to leave, Shuyun gave the two maids their indentures and restored their freedom.
That night, Shu Yun changed the dressing on Xiao Ye's back. Seeing the whip marks made her feel uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but caress them with her fingertips, imagining how serious his injuries were.
No wonder her escape was so smooth that time.
Shu Yun asked, "Brother, where is my mother's maid?"
Xiao Ye didn't need to hide it from her anymore. He didn't want to make things awkward after finally easing the relationship. "I didn't make things difficult for her. I let her go. She's already in Nanzhou."
Shuyun felt relieved. After bandaging his wound, she put on his pajamas.
The next morning, Shuyun helped Xiao Ye get on the carriage to the ferry.
The cold wind blew the curtains. Shuyun looked outside and saw that they were getting farther and farther away from the county town.
She heard that Zhao Mucheng had resigned from his post and didn't know where he went.
The carriage stopped. Xiao Ye, blindfolded, sat beside Shu Yun and asked, "Have we reached the ferry yet?"
"I'll help my brother down."
Shu Yun had been acting as Xiao Ye's eyes during this time, helping him out of the carriage.
"Be careful of the steps." Shuyun reminded him and took him on board.
This large passenger ship was chartered by Xiao Ye. It went directly from Jinyang County to the capital, and it would take fourteen or fifteen days to travel day and night.
The sun was shining brightly, the boat set sail and sailed on the wide river. Shuyun stood at the bow, looking at the sparkling river surface with mixed feelings, and she went back.
After running away for a while, he finally returned to the original place.
My parents and brother are in the capital. The enemy has passed away and the grudges of the previous generation have been settled. Will there be any further entanglements in the next generation?
Shuyun was feeling confused when she suddenly heard a loud noise behind her. She turned around and saw Xiao Ye coming out of the cabin with a cloak in his hand. However, because he didn't pay attention to his feet, he tripped and fell to the ground.
Fu Feng hurriedly helped him up. The man's silver crown was crooked and his clothes were a little messy. He didn't care about his appearance, but was very concerned about the cloak in his hand.
Xiao Ye brushed off his cloak and spoke in Fufeng's ear. Fufeng looked at Shuyun and supported him as he walked over slowly.
Shu Yun saw his embarrassment again and walked towards him.
"Brother, I'm here." Shuyun had already reached the man and signaled Fufeng to leave.
"The river is windy and cold."
Xiao Ye said calmly, he touched Shu Yun's shoulders, put the cloak on her shoulders, and tied the laces with his slender fingers.
The cloak was warm, still carrying the warmth of his embrace, but it was tied crookedly. Shu Yun straightened the cloak, her eyes a little sore, and said, "I'm not cold."
"Brother, let's go in." Shu Yun helped Xiao Ye into the boat. Passing by the place where he had just tripped, she reminded him, "There are steps, be careful."
The brazier in the cabin was burning brightly and it was very warm.
Xiao Ye sat down. Although he couldn't see, his hearing and sense of smell were extremely sensitive at this moment. Shu Yun's breath lingered in his nostrils, and soon the smell of citrus came.
"What is my sister eating?"
Shuyun peeled an orange and just as she ate a slice of the flesh, he asked aloud.
Shu Yun replied: "Orange, brother, do you want to try it?"
"good."
After getting a response, Shuyun broke off a piece of orange flesh and fed it to the man's mouth.
Xiao Ye opened his mouth and ate the orange she fed him. Even though he was blind, his movements were dignified and he ate slowly and leisurely.
"It's sweet." Xiao Ye said after eating.
Shuyun frowned slightly, broke off a slice of orange and took a small bite.
The taste remains the same, slightly sour.
The river surface was smooth without strong winds, and the passenger ship was stable. It soon passed Nanzhou and arrived at the border of Huainan.
Xiao Ye's eyes hurt from time to time, and sometimes he couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked Fu Feng to boil a dose of painkillers prescribed by the doctor.
Shu Yun didn't know about this matter at first. She accidentally overheard the conversation between the master and servant. She vaguely remembered that during those days, Xiao Ye looked a little heavy, probably because of the pain in his eyes.
Why didn't he tell her? Was he afraid that she would worry? But if she was worried, shouldn't Xiao Ye be happy? After all, she cared about him.
Shuyun lowered her eyes, feeling depressed.
At night, Shuyun helped Xiao Ye change the medicine on his back. A scab had formed on the long wound, and it was this scar that looked scary.
Everything was inconvenient on the passenger ship, so the two of them simply washed up and went to bed.
Xiao Ye falls asleep holding Shu Yun in his arms every day.
The clear moonlight shone into the cabin, and Shuyun heard the sound of the river outside. It might take another six or seven days to reach the capital.
As the night deepened, Shuyun felt the man's chest behind her gradually harden, and his body became firm and hard.
His breathing became disordered, but he still endured it.
Shuyun slowly opened her eyes and looked at the two people's shadows. She poked her head out from under the quilt.
After thinking seriously for a while, Shu Yun turned around from Xiao Ye's arms, and the top of her head just brushed his chin, and the man's breath stopped.
Shu Yun looked up at him, "Brother, do you want me to kiss you?"
Xiao Ye was not asleep. His Adam's apple twitched. He did not answer her, but just held her arms tighter.
Shu Yun touched Xiao Ye's Adam's apple with her fingertips, and the man suddenly held her hand.
"Don't make trouble, sister." Xiao Ye's voice was a little hoarse. He held her quiet hand and suppressed the surging desire.
The night was long, and the woman he loved was in his arms, warm and soft. He was a normal man, and he had the normal desires.
Shu Yun suddenly broke free from Xiao Ye's hand, put her arms around the man's neck, and leaned over to gently bite Xiao Ye's protruding Adam's apple.
The man groaned and pressed down on her lower back. His senses were extremely obvious despite his blindness.
Xiao Ye said in a low voice, "Yun'er, think it through."
He lowered his head to touch Shuyun's brow, his hot breath pouring down, "You were the one who teased me first tonight, don't regret it afterwards, and don't make trouble again."
Shu Yun's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she hugged his neck tightly with her arms. She confessed, "Brother, I'm very confused."
Shu Yun raised her head and kissed him on the lips. The closer they got to the capital, the more confused she became. She didn't know what her parents would do if they knew she was with Xiao Ye.
Seeing Xiao Ye injured like this, Shu Yun felt distressed. Her messy mood made her very troubled and she didn't want to think about it anymore.
The beauty threw herself into his arms, and Xiao Ye did not hold back any longer. He placed his big hand on the back of her neck, taking the initiative and deepening the kiss.
He couldn't see, but this body was very familiar to him, and he knew exactly what she liked and what made her happy.
There was a candle burning by the bed, and the brazier was filled with plenty of charcoal, filling the room with warmth, which soon became hot.
The nightgown fell to the side of the bed, covering the two pairs of shoes.
Shu Yun sat on Xiao Ye and hugged his neck in fear. This time was different from the horse riding that night.
Xiao Ye held her waist with one hand. Shu Yun leaned softly on his sweaty shoulder and said softly, "Brother, I have no strength left."
Shu Yun almost put all her weight on Xiao Ye, put her arms around his neck, and rubbed her soft cheek against his face, "Brother, kiss me too."
Her voice was soft and sticky, and her breath was even and sticky. Xiao Ye held her snow-white neck, held her tender lips in his mouth, and entangled his lips with hers.
Xiao Ye blocked her lower mouth, his arms were bulging with veins, he gripped her slender waist tightly, and followed her breathing, moving slowly away.
The moonlight was cool and the passenger ship they were on was moving steadily, leaving traces on the water. The waves hit the hull and splashed spray.
