and leave

Chapter 123

The two escaped from the den of thieves in the dark, but they were not happy, but heavy.

Shen Wangshu hadn't recovered from the fright of killing someone with his own hands, but Lu Yiqing was distracted by Shen Wangshu - when he was running, the night wind was filled with blood from time to time, which couldn't help but stimulate the mood of Shen Wangshu, the client. There are also many speculations and worries in Lu Yiqing's heart.Guess if she was hurt, guess what happened to her, guess how she is now?

The more I thought about it, the harder it was for me to calm down, so when the two came back to their senses, they realized that they were already in the dense forest.The shadows of the trees are indistinct, and the moon is shining coldly above the head, but for a while, I can't tell the east, the west, the north, let alone where I am.

Lu Yiqing looked around, and finally frowned in embarrassment: "Sister Shen, do you know where this is?"

She is not from Chang'an, she only came to Chang'an for a few months to settle down, and finally got to know Chang'an city well, but she has never been to the barren mountains and wild mountains on the outskirts of the city.Not to mention that it was dark now, and the two of them were running around again, even if the sight was not obstructed during the day, she stood in the den of thieves and probably didn't know where to go down the mountain, and where to go back to the city .

It's a pity that Shen Wangshu couldn't give her an answer. Although she tried her best to calm down and look around, there were not many opportunities for a noble girl to go out of the city.Apart from Xiangguo Temple and the hunting ground where noble girls love to go hunting together, she is equally unfamiliar with other hills.

The two lost their way like this, and couldn't help but looked at each other.

It was still Lu Yiqing who knew a little about life in the wild, so he cautiously reminded: "The night is too dark, and we can't go out without distinguishing the direction. Why don't we find a place to settle overnight, and wait until dawn tomorrow morning before thinking about it."

Shen Wangshu hesitated, pursed his lips and said worryingly: "This place is not far from that den of thieves, what if..."

Lu Yiqing knew what she meant, but in her heart she was glad that they hadn't gone too far. After some consideration, she said: "They may not have the heart to look for us tomorrow morning, but we really can't leave tonight. Sister Shen You, you smell too much blood, and here is the wilderness, so it's hard to say if there are any wild animals in this dense forest. If something happens, we won't be able to deal with it."

Hearing her mention of bloody smell, Shen Wangshu's face suddenly turned pale, but the sky was too dark, even though Lu Yiqing was close at hand, he didn't see it.She remembered the scene of killing people before, and her hands seemed to feel sticky again, so she subconsciously wanted to wipe it off on her clothes.

It's just that Shen Wangshu forgot that her hand was being held by Lu Yiqing at this moment, and Lu Yiqing would naturally feel it when she moved.So Lu Yiqing's unclear voice came again: "Sister Shen, what's wrong?"

Shen Wangshu came back to his senses, curled his blood-stained fingers slightly: "It's okay, you're right, let's find a place to stay first."

How could Lu Yiqing fail to notice her strangeness, but it was not the time to talk too much, so he didn't say anything, just took Shen Wangshu to search in the forest.Not long after, I found a tree hole at Linxi. It looked quite secluded and could accommodate two people, so I planned to nest here in the middle of the night, and only tried to leave and go down the mountain when the morning dawned.

Shen Wangshu didn't have any objections, even though the tree hole looked a little smaller, the two of them would definitely be next to each other if they squeezed in, which seemed inappropriate.But she has experienced too many things today, and she really doesn't care about them anymore.

The two avoided the tree hole, the atmosphere was a bit dull, Lu Yiqing said casually, "Sister Shen, rest first, we have to hurry tomorrow morning."

Shen Wangshu nodded, sat on the side with her knees hugged and didn't make a sound, wondering if she had already started to rest in the dark.

Lu Yiqing has a lot of things on her mind, even if meeting Shen Wangshu makes her happy, but as long as she smells the bloody smell in the air, she can't be happy anymore.And the wound on her body was also very painful. Those thieves were afraid that she would run away, so they were not serious when they attacked.She proposed to stay overnight not only because of the danger of the bloody smell on Shen Wangshu's body, but also because she could not run anymore, let alone escape overnight.

Thinking about everything today, and thinking about the current situation, Lu Yiqing was also sitting in the tree hole with his knees hugged, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.I don't know how long it's been like this, suddenly there was a heavy weight on her shoulder, and when she turned her head to look, she found that Shen Wangshu had fallen asleep leaning on her shoulder at some point.

The bloody smell in the nostrils became stronger, but under the bloody smell, there seemed to be a girl's unique fragrance hidden.

Lu Yiqing was in a daze for a moment, adjusted his shoulders slightly, and did not change his posture all night after that.

****************************************************************************

Time passed unknowingly, the light outside the tree hole gradually became brighter, and the people in the tree hole fell asleep at some point.When he woke up, the sky was already bright, but his whole body was sore when he moved a little.

Lu Yiqing gritted her teeth in pain, and subconsciously wanted to raise her hand before realizing the weight on her shoulders, so her movements froze and she turned her head to look, only to see Shen Wangshu was still leaning on her shoulders and hadn't woken up.She paused, looked at the sky outside, and then called softly: "Sister Shen, Sister Shen, it's dawn, we should find our way back to the city..."

She called three times in a row, but the person on her shoulder didn't respond at all, and Lu Yiqing finally realized that something was wrong.She raised her hand to push Shen Wangshu, still calling "Sister Shen", but the force of pushing was getting stronger and stronger.

It wasn't until Shen Wangshu couldn't lean on her shoulders at last, and his whole body fell to the other side, that Lu Yiqing was really startled.

"Sister Shen, what's the matter with you?!" Lu Yiqing pulled him back, hugged him in his arms and asked anxiously.It was also at this time that the sky was bright, and she finally saw Shen Wangshu's condition clearly - her brows were furrowed, her face was pale, her forehead was full of fine sweat, she looked sick at first glance.In addition, her face and clothes were stained with a lot of dried blood, which was smeared all over her face indiscriminately, and she looked even more embarrassed.

With just one glance, Lu Yiqing's heart ached, and she hurried to touch Shen Wangshu's forehead, only to find that she had become hot at some point.For ordinary fever, you can find a doctor to see it. There are no doctors here in the barren mountains and mountains. Except for those bandits, I'm afraid you can't even find a person.

Thinking that he brought someone to this tree hole to spend the night last night, perhaps because of this, he caught a cold and had a fever, Lu Yiqing felt a little bit more guilty in addition to being distressed.However, she couldn't go back to the city in time, and she couldn't do it because of the lack of doctors and medicines here.Several calls failed to wake him up, Lu Yiqing then remembered that there was a stream nearby, so he hurriedly put the person down and put him down, and then ran out.

With pain all over his body, Lu Yiqing bared his teeth and ran to the edge of the stream, but he didn't dare to delay.While looking for broad leaves and rolling them up to fill with water, he took out a handkerchief from his bosom to wet it.Originally, she planned to soak the handkerchief and put it on Shen Wangshu's forehead to cool down, but her handkerchiefs were made of thin silk cloth, which was not enough to apply to her forehead, so she tore off a piece of cloth from the clean underwear and wet it again. I took it back.

Shen Wangshu was still lying on the original place, but his body was slightly curled up and his arms were tightly hugged.It seems to be feeling the cold, and it seems to be protecting oneself. It always makes people feel distressed.

Lu Yiqing hurried over, hugged her into her arms, first carefully fed her some water, and then folded the wet cloth and put it on her forehead.I don't know if someone took care of me after drinking the water, or simply absorbed the warmth from Lu Yiqing's arms, Shen Wangshu leaned in her arms and gradually stretched his eyebrows, which made Lu Yiqing feel a little relieved.

The sun outside is getting higher and higher, and the sun shines on the ground through the dense forest branches and leaves, bringing a little bit of light and warmth.

Lu Yiqing guarded the people, looked at the sun, and gradually felt hungry, but Shen Wangshu was sick and she dared not leave.So he had no choice but to turn his attention back to Shen Wangshu. Seeing that her face and hands were covered with dried blood, he took a handkerchief and wiped it off for her little by little.

One night passed, those dried blood stains were already stubborn, and Lu Yiqing wiped them again and again, only then gradually Shen Wangshu's fair skin was revealed.Lu Yiqing did a simple inspection, once again making sure that Shen Wangshu was not injured, and that the blood was not hers, so the corners of her tightly pursed lips relaxed a little.It's just that she still doesn't know what happened last night and can only guess by herself.

With a heavy heart, Lu Yiqing has been trying his best to take care of Shen Wangshu, not daring to relax at all.It wasn't until the afternoon that the sun slanted into the tree hole and fell on Shen Wangshu's face, which slowly woke her up.

Lu Yiqing was really happy to see her wake up, and hurriedly asked, "Sister Shen, how are you doing? Are you feeling better?"

Shen Wangshu had been having nightmares for a long time, and at this moment he was still in a daze. He opened his eyes and stared blankly at Lu Yiqing for a while, before finally realizing that he was actually sleeping in her arms.Subconsciously felt that something was wrong, before Shen Wangshu could answer Lu Yiqing, she struggled to get up, but she was obviously not as flexible as she thought when she was sick.

Lu Yiqing hurriedly reached out to pick it up, and when Shen Wangshu fell down, she also subconsciously reached out her hand to support him, but she immediately pressed on Lu Yiqing's chest—the palm felt soft, with slight ups and downs, which was unusual Looks like a boy.

Just as doubts arose in Shen Wangshu's bewildered mind, Lu Yiqing groaned softly, as if in pain.

Subconsciously withdrew his hand like an electric shock, Shen Wangshu supported the ground to calm down, and then asked: "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Yiqing covered his chest with one hand, blushed a bit, but said nothing embarrassedly: "I'm fine. How are you, Sister Shen? I don't know when you started to have a fever last night, but it's been burning for most of the day today. "

Shen Wangshu stretched out his hand to touch his forehead upon hearing this, and he didn't know if he couldn't detect the difference or the fever had subsided now, but he didn't feel anything.So she shook her head, and was about to say "nothing", but she caught a glimpse of the slanting sunlight from outside the tree hole, and Lu Yiqing's previous words, which made her suddenly realize something, and hurriedly asked: "What time is it now?" ?”

Lu Yiqing pursed her lips, and also glanced outside the tree hole: "Probably it's almost time to apply."

It was already mid-afternoon, and it was only an hour or two before the sun went down. They still didn't know how long it would take to go down the mountain from this dense forest, and how far it was from Chang'an.It was obviously too late to start again at this time.

Shen Wangshu pursed his lips angrily, feeling that he had delayed the schedule, hesitating whether to go down the mountain today.

Lu Yiqing saw her thoughts at a glance, and hurriedly said: "Sister Shen, you just woke up, and your illness is not fully recovered. I'm afraid you won't be able to go down the mountain at this time. It's this time today, I'll go out to find some food, why don't we Wait another day, let's go tomorrow."

Shen Wangshu wanted to object, but his body was so weak that he couldn't breathe, let alone going down the mountain by himself, even if he got up and walked out of the tree hole, he didn't know how much effort he would need.The real predicament made her acquiesce in staying. Seeing that she woke up, Lu Yiqing felt relieved. He tried her forehead and found that the burn was indeed gone, so he happily ran out to find something to eat.

Seeing Lu Yiqing's back disappearing outside the tree hole, Shen Wangshu took a while to look away, and looked down at his hands again.At this moment, her palms were clean, even the blood stains on her nails were wiped away by Lu Yiqing carefully.She just stared at her palm in a daze, and moved her fingers slightly for a long time. She didn't know if she was thinking of the killing last night, or something else...

****************************************************************************

Shen Wangshu fell ill in the mountains, which immediately delayed the trip of the two of them going down the mountain.In addition, the two of them didn't know the way, and when they went down the mountain, they took a lot of wrong roads in a daze. When they returned to Chang'an, it was already three days later.

The two returned to Chang'an in a state of distress, but before entering the city, they were spotted by the servants of the Lu family who were waiting at the gate of the city.The latter was surprised and delighted at once, pulled the young gentleman to look left and right, and was so excited that he almost burst into tears: "It's good that the gentleman comes back, but the master is very anxious these days. Everyone in the family has been assigned to go out to find people. I just stayed at the gate of the city and waited, but I didn't want to wait until the Lord came back first."

Seeing her family members, Lu Yiqing was also relieved, exchanged a few words of pleasantries and briefly talked about the past few days, then turned to ask Shen Wangshu, "Sister Shen, take a closer look, is there any family members around here?"

Shen Wangshu had already seen it, and she wasn't very surprised that she didn't see the Shen family.

Lu Yiqing waited until she didn't respond, so he guessed seven or eight points, so he turned to invite: "Sister Shen's family members may have gone to the suburbs to look for them, so they didn't wait at the gate of the city. Now you and I are in a mess , you can’t just go back like this. It’s better to go to my house first, freshen up and change clothes before going home, so as not to frighten the parents at home.”

Meng Lang's invitation was a bit too much. Personally speaking, Shen Wangshu must think that she has bad intentions and is an apprentice.But the person who spoke was Lu Yiqing, and Shen Wangshu couldn't feel any resistance in his heart, after thinking about it, he really nodded in agreement.

The servant of the Lu family heard the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but feel a little moved - although it was not in the etiquette for the young man in the family to invite the girl home, but the girl agreed, so naturally there was no room for him to comment.On the contrary, Mr. Xiao Lang is now fourteen years old. Although he is younger, it is normal to know Mu Shaoai, not to mention the situation of the two of them, it is clear that they have just experienced a lot of joys and sorrows.

Thinking of this, the servants of the Lu family looked at Shen Wangshu more, and then walked to the front to lead the way.

At this time, Lu Yiqing didn't think too much about inviting Shen Wangshu home, even when he asked the servant to buy a ready-made dress for Shen Wangshu to replace, it was out of kindness.It's just that she never thought that what she did would actually make things worse for Shen Wangshu.

It was only half a month later that Lu Yiqing found out that Shen Wangshu's situation was not good after returning home, and he kept complaining about his illness but kept silent about it, and all kinds of gossip gradually spread from the elite circle.She only listened to it, and then she was so angry that her heart was stuffy, as if Shen Wangshu was taken away by bandits that day, it was a thousand mistakes, and she deserved to die outside and not come back to ruin the reputation of the Shen family.

Still young, and loved by her family since she was a child, Lu Yiqing couldn't understand the cruelty of the Shen family——Sister Shen came back with a full body, and she didn't suffer or be humiliated in that den of thieves. How could the Shen family be like outsiders? Doubt look at her? !

Lu Yiqing didn't believe that Shen Wangshu didn't explain after returning home, but after she told Yu Qian about her doubts and followers, Yu Qian looked at her without words: "Mr. Although my lady escaped from the den of thieves early, she spent several days alone with you in the mountains. This is a passover, and it will also bring a bad reputation if it is spread."

Indeed, no matter what Lu Yiqing's background is, she is always a man in the eyes of outsiders.

Lu Yiqing was stunned, and then thought of the fact that he invited Shen Wangshu home that day, and suddenly felt that he couldn't escape the blame.She bit her lip, and ran to climb over the courtyard wall of Shen's house that night. After all the adventures, she actually made her touch Shen Wangshu's boudoir...

In the middle of the night, the door knocked lightly, and the knock on the door awakened the dazed people in the room.

After Shen Wangshu regained her senses, she didn't bother to think about who would come at this time, she didn't even move her eyes, and said lightly: "Come in."

The door was pushed open with a "squeak", but Lu Yiqing didn't go in immediately. He first peeked inside the room, and saw that there were no maids in the room except Shen Wangshu, so he rushed in, and then opened the room. The door is closed.

Shen Wangshu, who heard the movement from the beginning to the end, did not look back until a familiar voice came from his ear: "Sister Shen."

Shen Wangshu was taken aback, almost thinking that he was an errand.Surprised, he finally turned around, and the moment he saw the person coming, he couldn't hide the astonishment on his face: "Why are you here, who let you in?!"

Lu Yiqing was taken aback by the question, and touched his forehead a little embarrassedly: "No, no one, I climbed over the wall and got in by myself."

Shen Wangshu was silent when she heard the words, but when she said such an outrageous answer, her reaction was calmer than before.It seems that Lu Yiqing's climbing over the wall to enter the house is not a big deal, but it is more worrying that someone let her in.

After he calmed down for a while, Shen Wangshu collected his mood and asked Lu Yiqing again: "It's so late, what are you doing over the wall?"

Lu Yiqing was a little embarrassed, but he still tried his best to maintain a straight face: "I'm worried about Sister Shen, so I want to come and see you." He paused here, and then said a little dejectedly: "I don't have enough status, I just want to see you." If you want to send a greeting card, no one will pay any attention to it. Besides, I don’t want to cause you any more trouble now. I just don’t worry, I have to come and see you, don’t blame me for being reckless.”

Seeing her sincerity, Shen Wangshu was silent for a while, then smiled wryly and shook his head: "It's okay, it's good to see you at this time."

Lu Yiqing seemed to always be aware of Shen Wangshu's thoughts, and immediately sensed that she was in a different mood, and immediately frowned and asked: "What's the matter, did something happen?"

Shen Wangshu didn't want to say it at first, but besides Lu Yiqing, she seemed to have no one else to talk to.

She picked up the teapot and poured Lu Yiqing a cup of tea, but the tea was actually cold, but neither of them had much thought about it.After Shen Wangshu invited Lu Yiqing to sit down, he said: "It's nothing, but if you come two days later, you won't be able to see me."

Lu Yiqing's hand trembled just as he picked up the teacup, and the cup fell immediately, splashing a piece of tea on the table.

Those things in the rich and powerful families, whether they have money or power, are actually the same.Although the Lu family has no moths due to its simple population, Lu Yiqing has heard a lot about other people's insidious affairs.For example, like Shen Wangshu, if an unmarried girl ruins her reputation, there are usually only three endings.One is to marry low and far away, the other is to twist her hair to be an aunt, and the third is to have only one dead word.

Compared with the latter two, marrying low and marrying far is actually the best choice, at least the family still loves their daughter.But no matter which choice he chooses, just thinking about it makes Lu Yiqing feel very flustered, as if he is about to lose something very important.

Lu Yiqing was in a trance, unconsciously wiped the piece of tea on the table with his sleeve, and then raised his head and asked, "Where are you going?"

Shen Wangshu did not look at her with downcast eyes, but only stared at the teacup in his hand: "Father said that he will send me to live in a village outside the city."

When Lu Yiqing heard this, he couldn't understand, and couldn't sit still, he got up and took Shen Wangshu's hand, and said: "Come with me, don't stay here, your family is going to eat people! "

Shen Wangshu thought her description was interesting, but he couldn't laugh, and didn't follow her up: "I can't go, you can go."

Seeing her like this, Lu Yiqing almost burst into tears: "Aren't you going to stay here and wait to die?!"

Of course Shen Wangshu knew what it meant to go to Zhuangzi, although the sisters used to occasionally go to Zhuangzi to live for a while, but there was obviously no comparison between then and now.Once she leaves, she will never come back, and if she wants to survive, she will naturally have to fight for it.But she was a little disheartened, because her family members only cared about running for their lives back then, and because her family members were pressing her every step of the way, and because her biological mother was unwilling to say a word for her.

Her living seemed to be a sin, and this sin must be washed away with blood.

Shen Wangshu felt a little tired, the depression from childhood made her even have the idea of ​​committing suicide at this moment.If Lu Yiqing hadn't happened to come tonight, maybe she wouldn't have waited to go to Zhuangzi, so she would have died on her own.

Lu Yiqing didn't understand this, the Lu family was not as powerful as the Shen family, but the Lu family gave Lu Yiqing enough warmth.She grew up under the sun, so naturally she doesn't understand Shen Wangshu's hard struggle, but fortunately she can always read something from her eyes.

Shen Wangshu didn't speak for a long time, but Lu Yiqing felt a sudden pain in his heart.She loosened Shen Wangshu's hand, then tightened it: "I won't watch you die, if you don't leave today, I'll come back and take you away in two days."

These words obviously had some deep meaning, Shen Wangshu also realized this in a trance, and finally asked: "What are you going to do?"

When Lu Yiqing heard that she finally spoke, a look of unnaturalness flashed across her face, and then she became firm again when she thought of something: "I will come to propose marriage in two days." Before Shen Wangshu could speak, he said again: "My family If you have money, I will come here with gold and silver. Your parents will definitely marry you to me. I have seen it when I came here. Although your courtyard and pavilions are magnificent, the details have not been repaired. They must be short of money. .”

Shen Wangshu's heart was shocked when he heard her first sentence, but after listening to her words later, he couldn't laugh or cry.She finally smiled, and she couldn't tell what it was like: "Mountains of gold and silver, I'm not worth it."

Lu Yiqing was not happy when she heard her belittle herself: "I say it's worth it."

The young man's eyes were burning with true emotion, even though Shen Wangshu was disheartened, his chest was ignited by the scorching heat.She didn't know what to say for a while, the hand held by Lu Yiqing slowly clenched his fist, and the palm grabbed a little of the other's sleeve intentionally or unintentionally.

Lu Yiqing didn't notice this detail, she made a decision on her own, and even thought about how to persuade her father when she got home—Shen Wangshu saved her life from those thieves, and the grace of saving her life was shown by her body. Xu, isn't it a matter of course?If her father refused, she would cry and quarrel and beg at the ancestral hall, after all, to make him let go.

Patriarch Lu always loved his daughter, and Lu Yiqing felt that "persuading" him was not a big problem, it was just a matter of time.After thinking about all these, Lu Yiqing's feverish mind cooled down a little, and finally thought of another crucial question.

Shen Wangshu saw that one moment Lu Yiqing was full of ambition, but the next moment he was suddenly discouraged.Before she had time to think about her mental journey, Lu Yiqing glanced at her secretly, and then said in a soft voice: "By the way, Sister Shen, there is something I forgot to tell you."

She looked guilty, making one suspect that she was about to go back on her word.

However, Shen Wangshu still looked very calm, as if it wasn't her who was holding on to a little sleeve as a straw: "Say it."

Lu Yiqing gritted her teeth and lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Shen Wangshu, she seemed even more guilty.I held back the words that came to my lips for a long time, until I couldn't hold back anymore, I said: "Sister Shen, I am actually a woman. I just said that I asked to marry you. I was not joking. If you mind, let me get away for you. In the future, you If you meet someone you like...don't worry about me."

After saying the last sentence, Lu Yiqing felt stuffy in his heart for some reason, as if blocked by a stone.Her pupils also drooped lower and lower, as if she was afraid of looking at Shen Wangshu again, her pupils could not help but glisten.

Shen Wangshu was startled when she finished speaking, but then smiled: "I know what you said."

Lu Yiqing didn't expect such an answer, she was stunned for a moment, looked up at Shen Wangshu and saw the smile on her lips.After staring blankly for a while, Lu Yiqing didn't understand what Shen Wangshu was thinking, and was sent away in a daze.

It wasn't until she climbed over the wall and left Shen's house again that Lu Yiqing leaned against the wall of Shen's house and thought for a long time before she vaguely realized something - Shen Wangshu knew her secret from the very beginning, but when she asked to marry, the other party didn't He didn't stop annoyed because of this. Does this mean that the other party doesn't mind?

Just thinking of this guess, Lu Yiqing felt a lot of joy in his heart.As soon as she stood upright, she finally took a look in the direction of Shen's house, and then ran home briskly.

She had to go back quickly and ask her father to discuss it, and after the marriage was finalized, he came to rescue Sister Shen from suffering.

The author has something to say: It should be almost the same with so many episodes, and it will be completely over here.

PS: Xinkeng's "The Concubine is Reborn" will be released, and it will be opened in about two days. If you are interested, you can go and see it.
