After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

After hearing her words, Si Jiu also fell into deep thought.

"It was said that it was because of the heavy rains in the spring and summer this year, and many crops were damaged by water. The roots of the seedlings that were planted were soaked and could not germinate and mature normally."

Si Jiu told Wen Baizhi the report he saw in the memorial.

Wen Baizhi said, "But Jinzhou has always had so much rain. In the past, it rained a lot every year. Why wasn't the loss as serious as this year? Besides, the farmers are all experienced farmers. How could they not have experience with these natural disasters?"

Si Jiu's suspicions were the same as hers: "But these are just our guesses. Perhaps a lot of coincidences came together this year to form the current situation."

Wen Baizhi closed the state journal and said, "So I think we need to go to those fields that are said to have poor harvests tomorrow and inspect them with our own eyes."

Si Jiu smiled when he heard this: "That's exactly what I was thinking."

After all, no matter how well the official document is reported, it is seen by others, not by himself.

He would go and see the real situation for himself anyway.

But he added, "But I don't plan to take you with me."

Wen Baizhi frowned: "Why don't you take me with you?"

Si Jiu explained in a gentle voice: "Right now, in addition to the poor harvest in Jinzhou, there are also countless mobs causing trouble. I am worried that you will be in danger if you go out."

After all, he didn't bring many people with him this time.

If something really happened, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to protect her.

Wen Baizhi patted his shoulder: "I thought it was because of this. Then let me ask you, you said I might be in danger if I go out, so you won't be in danger if you go out?"

Si Jiu said: "It's different."

Wen Baizhi asked: "What's the difference?"

Si Jiu said seriously: "It's just different. I am me and you are you. We are just different."

If he were to encounter any danger, he would not be afraid.

But if it was Wen Baizhi, he would probably feel like going crazy if he encountered even the smallest danger.

Seeing that Si Jiu's idea was about to reach a dead end again, Wen Baizhi prepared to pull him out again.

"But Zijin, I am the same as you."

Wen Baizhi said as she held his cold hand, trying to give him some warmth.

"We are all mortals, we are all injured and bleed. I can, and you can too."

"Zijin, you said you were worried about my safety, so why shouldn't I be worried about you too?"

"You know how dangerous it is to come to Jinzhou this time, and I know it too."

"If you leave me here alone, I will definitely be restless all the time, thinking about your safety. I won't be able to eat if I don't see you come back safely. You know, I eat the most."

Hearing this, Si Jiu was amused by her.

Wen Baizhi continued: "So Zijin, do you still think that leaving me here instead of going out with you is a good choice?"

She had said so much, so Si Jiu was naturally not someone who would not listen to her advice.

He also wanted to be with her all the time.

His body and soul had long been accustomed to having her by his side.

Even if he just saw her, he would get great comfort.

"Okay," he finally agreed, "but when you go out with me, you must not run around. You must always stay by my side. Although I didn't bring many people with me this time, I still assigned some secret guards to follow. It's safest to stay with me."

When Wen Baizhi heard that he agreed, she stood up excitedly and hugged him.

"Don't worry, Zijin. I will definitely be with you. Wherever you go, I will go. I will definitely not run around."

Si Jiu was held by her and didn't dare to move. He was like a frightened little rabbit with only his eyes open.

All the problems were solved, and Wen Baizhi was going to bed.

She let go of Si Jiu's shoulders: "It's getting late, let's go to bed early. We still have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

Si Jiu swallowed and said, "Go to sleep."

After the two lay down, Si Jiu discovered that Wen Baizhi, who usually turned off the lights, did not turn off the lights tonight.

"Aren't you going to blow out the lights?" he asked.

Ever since Wen Baizhi found out in her dream that Si Jiu was afraid of the dark, she never turned off the lights every night when she was with him.

But she couldn't let him know that this was the reason.

So she made up an excuse: "This isn't my first time here, I'm not familiar with the place, the lights are on, if I need to get up at night, it's safer with a light."

Si Jiu had no doubts: "That's right, if you want to go out at night, you'd better ask me to go with you, or at least bring Cuizhi or Ping'an with you."

His worrying habit came back again.

Although Wen Baizhi didn't feel annoyed, she actually enjoyed his concern.

But not right now.

At least not at this moment when she was particularly sleepy.

She turned over and put her hand directly over Si Jiu's mouth.

"Alright, alright, Lord Dugong, I'm very sleepy. I've written down everything you said. Shall we go to bed now?"

Si Jiu had his mouth covered by her, although he could easily take her hand away.

But Si Jiu was reluctant to let go of any opportunity to have such close contact with her.

So he hummed twice to indicate that he understood.

Wen Baizhi then took her hand away from his mouth with satisfaction.

Si Jiu felt a little lost.

But soon, he felt Wen Baizhi's hand on his abdomen again.

"Go to sleep."

Wen Baizhi has developed the habit of keeping track of Si Jiu's physical condition at all times.

Si Jiu has a bad stomach, so he needs to be especially careful.

Wen Baizhi slowly fell asleep, but Si Jiu still couldn't sleep.

Sometimes he felt that Wen Baizhi coming to him was all a dream.

The best dream you could ever have.

Otherwise, why would she be by his side, hugging him and comforting him when he was in pain?

Even when he was crying, she would hold him in her arms and comfort him without reservation.

He never dared to think about such a Wen Baizhi, or such a Wen Bai.

He wouldn't even dare to dream of such a scenario.

But he tried several times.

Whether it is asking about safety or whether the lady is still in the house.

Or you can pinch yourself and feel the real pain.

What's more, every time Wen Baizhi came into contact with him, he felt the warm touch coming from her body.

These are all evidence that he is not in a dream.

Si Jiu turned slightly and placed his forehead against the shoulder of the sleeping Wen Baizhi.

He had already become more and more addicted to contact with Wen Baizhi without realizing it.

Whether it's the corner of her clothes or her hands, any part of her.

As long as he can touch it, he will touch it with a grateful heart.

Because only in this way could he know from her real touch that she really existed.

He was not dreaming.

The nightmare that lasted for three years seemed to be over.
