"A-choo! A-choo!"
"Brother, your clothes are all wet."
Yu Xiaotian felt full of guilt when he saw Situ Ye getting wet all over and sneezing constantly because he came out to look for him.
"I'm fine. It's very late at night, we have to go back early. Your third brother has also gone out to look for you. When we get back, we will light the lantern at the door of the shop. When he sees it, he will come back."
"good."
The rain had stopped at this time. In the pitch-silent night, the two of them quickened their pace towards Caiyun Street, immersed in the dim moonlight and the occasional light from lanterns on the roadside.
“Ouch!”
Yu Xiaotian suddenly felt a pain in his calf and almost collapsed. Situ Ye, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, raised his hand in time and held him firmly.
"Xiaotian, can you still walk?"
Situ Ye was now soaked all over, and he didn't want to carry Yu Xiaotian on his back, so as not to get Yu Xiaotian's clothes wet too.
"no problem."
Although Yu Xiaotian had been wandering around the streets for more than two hours because he had gotten lost before, and his legs and feet were now very sore, he still gritted his teeth and insisted on continuing walking, not wanting to hold Situ Ye back.
However, in order to accommodate Yu Xiaotian, Situ Ye had to slow down his pace. At this time, their walking speed was obviously much slower than before.
"Xiaotian, the black mud and white stones reflect the water. When walking at night, you have to pay attention to your steps and avoid stepping on small stones and puddles to avoid falling and getting your shoes wet."
Tian Lang had been on the march and fighting for years, so he naturally knew a lot about the things to pay attention to when walking outdoors. Although he was Situ Ye's previous life, in fact, their personalities were completely different.
Tian Lang is a rough-and-tumble soldier who lives in the military camp. He is unconcerned with trivial matters and is bold and generous. Situ Ye is the proud and arrogant son of the Prime Minister's family. He is delicate and unruly. One is resolute and courageous, the other weak and suspicious.
Situ Ye, who possessed Tian Lang's memories, was initially conflicted, but now, he has merged the two memories into one. Tian Lang is him, and Situ Ye is him, but they complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, becoming a more perfect Situ Ye.
The journey that should have taken them two quarters of an hour ended up taking Situ Ye and Yu Xiaotian a full half hour. Finally, around 4:30 PM, they arrived back at Caiyun Street.
"Second brother, has third brother returned yet?"
Seeing that red lanterns had been hung at the door of the shop in front of him and candles were lit in the shop, Yu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel happy.
"Well, I guess so."
However, Situ Ye still harbored a secret suspicion. After all, he and Han Yichen had agreed to return before the next morning's Chenshi hour, and it wasn't even past the Choushi hour yet. Even if he had found Xiaotian, he certainly wouldn't be able to find him there. Given his personality, he wouldn't do things halfway...
"Third brother, third brother..."
Yu Xiaotian endured the pain in his calves and quickened his pace to run towards the store entrance. Situ Ye followed with his long legs. However, Han Yichen didn't see her. Instead, they saw an unexpected figure from behind, and next to her was a goat and Xiaobai.
"Where have you been, staying up so late?"
Hua Qingcheng, who was standing in front of the counter, had a cold face and slowly turned around.
Hua Qingcheng was worried that the store would not have raw materials tomorrow, so after saying hello to Mu Lige, she drove a cart of sweet potatoes and potatoes to Yunshui Town overnight.
At around three quarters past midnight, Hua Qingcheng arrived at Jinghuayuan Snack Shop, but found that the husbands who were supposed to be resting in the backyard had all disappeared.
It was raining heavily, and the rain had washed away all traces of the men's footsteps. Little White Tiger was unable to follow the scent to find Situ Ye, Han Yichen, and Yu Xiaotian. Hua Qingcheng had been waiting for them in the shop for over three hours.
"Qingcheng..."
"My wife..."
The moment he saw Hua Qingcheng, Yu Xiaotian's grievances, which had been appeased by Situ Ye, suddenly surfaced again. His brows furrowed slightly, his eyes filled with joy, his lips pursed, and crystal tears began to fall.
"Erlang, Xiaotian, what happened to you?"
Hua Qingcheng, who was originally full of anger, saw Situ Ye, who was soaked all over, and Yu Xiaotian, who was wearing a light purple robe, had a pale face and was crying. Suddenly, she lost all her anger. At this moment, she looked at these two men with only heartache.
Without waiting for them to come over, Hua Qingcheng quickly stepped forward and hugged them both, one in each hand.
Yu Xiaotian lay on Hua Qingcheng's shoulder and sobbed. Situ Ye didn't care that he was wet and let Hua Qingcheng hold his waist.
"Xiaotian went out to buy embroidery thread in the evening and got lost. My third brother and I went out to look for him. Qingcheng, don't blame them. It was me who didn't keep an eye on Xiaotian. If you want to blame someone, blame me."
"Blame you? Blame you for what? Blame you for being too responsible as the second brother, right?"
Hua Qingcheng felt both distressed and guilty. She pretended to be angry, released her hand from Situ Ye's waist, clenched her fist slightly, and punched him lightly in the chest.
But what shocked Hua Qingcheng was that she only hit Situ Ye lightly without using any strength, but he suddenly turned pale, his eyes rolled back, and then fell backwards.
"Erlang!"
“Second brother!”
Han Yichen searched for Yu Xiaotian inch by inch on Caiyun Street. When he didn't find him, he planned to go back to the store and ride his horse to a farther place to continue searching.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped through the door, he saw Situ Ye fainted, and Hua Qingcheng had also arrived, while Yu Xiaotian was worried and crying beside him. Not caring about his soaking wet body, Han Yichen hurried forward.
Seeing this, Hua Qingcheng quickly let go of Yu Xiaotian, then quickly supported the unconscious Situ Ye, picked him up by the waist, and quickly ran towards the backyard.
