Zhuo Yue's sanity gradually began to blur.

He only felt that his body was constantly bumping up and down, jumping up and down, and running fast.He hadn't experienced this feeling of being out of control for a long time, as if his whole body was floating in the air, and the only lead was in the hands of others.

When he was injured in the big practice before, Li Changxing wanted to hug him horizontally, but he still felt that this kid was overthinking his abilities.

But now...

Are the shoulders of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy so reliable?

Zhuo Yue stared wide-eyed desperately, telling himself not to sleep, wake up, the one who led you away is a child, what will he do if you pass out?

But his whole body was cold and his mind was blurred, as if he was standing in a quagmire and his whole body was falling.

"Li, Li Changxing..." He muttered vaguely, "Talk to me..."

After a brief silence, the boy's panting voice sounded: "Brother Zhuo, are you sleepy?"

"Rough, talk about something else..."

"Are you sleepy?" The young man's soft voice sounded again. He has always had a good singing voice, and his words were particularly bewitching. "Since we got here, you haven't had a good night's sleep."

"..."

"Brother Zhuo, trust me this time. You still have me."

As if stepping on the ground, Zhuo Yue suddenly fell into a dark dream.

The world in the dream was chaotic and thick, as if he had been caught in a massive mudslide, he was helplessly rolling up and down in the darkness.His whole body seemed to be being squeezed and roughly washed. He wanted to open his mouth to shout, but he couldn't make a sound.

After an unknown amount of time, the surroundings finally dimly lit up.He opened his eyes in a daze, but everything was not clear, as if everything had turned into flickering spots, distant and shining but blurred.

He felt that he was standing, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, it was a vast desert, the bright sunlight shone on the light brown soil, and there was a dazzling and bright reflection on the remnant armor.

Then someone pulled his hand.He lowered his head slowly, and saw a dirty, grinning little face crying.

That face made a wailing expression, and the dry and cracked mouth shouted "hungry", but the voice was so vague that it seemed to be wrapped in a ball of cotton.

what happened?He thought, how did I get back to the border of the guard?And you, didn't you starve to death more than ten years ago?

But even though he couldn't hear the sound of that little face crying and crying for hunger, his stomach was burning, as if he hadn't eaten or watered for a long time.

The next moment, he felt himself walking up.He led the little person beside him, and walked all the way to the distance against the dazzling sunlight and along the barren desert of the border.

What are you doing Zhuo Yue?he questioned himself.Haven't you grown up already?Aren't you still on the battlefield?Your chest was cut by the Jagan people and you are bleeding.There is also a half-grown child who was thrown by you in the city of Danji surrounded by wolves.At this critical moment, what are you doing in this boring memory dream?

But he couldn't stop.

He led the villain along the way.

At the end of the light and shadow, a few swaying black shadows gradually appeared. They raised their heads and screamed, and they were excitedly circling around something on the ground.The deep-rooted fear penetrated decades of time, and made him stop, shrinking and clenched the little hand in his palm.

A few shadows seemed to have spotted them.So he briefly gave up the food under his mouth, turned around, and bared his sharp teeth at them.

...Brother, it seems to be mother, let's go there quickly...

...don't go - let's run! ...

...so hungry, bro, I'm so hungry...

stop fighting.He thought with a splitting headache.

...Mom, my brother and I are so hungry, why there is no food, we are starving to death...

……impossible!This Xuanhua ax is a family heirloom of the Zhuo family!Selling it might as well kill me! ...

……mother!mother!We are hungry!To eat! ...

...Okay, mother will find you something to eat, stay at home and wait...

Don't.He closed his eyes painfully.Please, don't go.Let me starve, leave me alone, just don't go.

"……elder brother……"

Stop barking!He roared in his head.Dead, you are all dead!Why are you still calling me!

"...Brother Zhuo..."

What's the point? After tossing around for so long, everyone is dead, even he himself died once.He is so tired, he really doesn't want to continue walking, why does God torture him like this——

"Brother Zhuo!"

Zhuo Yue suddenly opened his eyes.

His head was so dizzy as if someone had touched it, and all the sounds of Weng Ming seemed to be thousands of miles away.He was panting, his back wet with sweat, and the heaving of his chest when he breathed brought the pain back instantly, hitting him like lightning.

Li Changxing was sitting by the bed, bending over to look at him worriedly.Seeing Zhuo Yue's eyes open, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his hand to wipe Zhuo Yue's sweaty forehead with a towel.

"You've finally woken up. You've been talking in your sleep just now." Li Changxing looked at him quietly, "You've been calling 'brother' and your mother... Missing your family?"

Zhuo Yue closed his eyes slightly, letting the burning pain settle down.When he opened his eyes again, his eyes had regained their composure.

"Where is this?" Looking at the surroundings, he seemed to be in a bedroom, and the light outside the room had already darkened.

Before Li Changxing could speak, he heard the door slam, and a girl with a tray walked in.Zhuo Yue's whole body tensed immediately, and the girl was also taken aback when she saw him wake up, then she pursed her lips and smiled, "Oh, are you awake?"

She's not really good looking.He has a long pony face, a broad nose bridge, and only a pair of small cherry mouths that are still charming, but it seems very unsuitable to accompany such a face.It's just that the voice of speaking is soft-spoken, neither hasty nor impatient, very gentle.

Zhuo Yue frowned, feeling that her voice was slightly familiar.At this moment, Li Changxing got up and took the tray from her: "Miss Zheng, thank you."

Miss Zheng!

Zhuo Yue suddenly widened his eyes.His gaze swept around the room, and then fell on the girl's autumn-colored jacket and skirt, and he recalled it instantly.

Isn't this the Zheng's house that he and Li Changxing visited during the day!And the woman in front of her is the lady of Zheng Zhai!

Seeing Zhuo Yue staring blankly at him, the girl from the Zheng family couldn't help but blushed slightly, she hurriedly lowered her head and said softly "I'm going out", and left in a hurry.

"Are you crazy?" As soon as she went out, Zhuo Yue immediately sat up and frowned, "The whole yard of the Zheng family is full of lackeys! You took me here to hide, why not just jump into the moat!"

Li Changxing gently pressed him back on the pillow: "Brother Zhuo, it was the Zheng family who saved us."

Zhuo Yue was taken aback.

"I took you to run from the eaves, and I came to Zheng's house without knowing it. I thought it would be dark under the lights, and I would take you to hide here to avoid the limelight, but who would have thought that as soon as I came in, I would be discovered by the guard. But then The master of the Zheng family didn’t hand us over, he let us hide here and gave us the wound medicine. Now the whole city outside is searching for our traces, and the Zhagan people have come to knock on the door three times, and it was all helped by Master Zheng. .”

Zhuo Yue was really a little confused.

The position of this family is really strange.The front feet are diligently helping the Zagan people to forge iron and sew cotton-padded clothes, and the back feet help them again.

Is it a weed?

He was anxious and suspicious, but he didn't want to show too much uneasiness for Li Changxing to notice, and immediately whispered: "It's still not safe here. Now that the guards in the city are dead and the letter bird is destroyed, it's okay for us to stay here It’s better to leave now.”

Li Changxing frowned: "Brother Zhuo, you are so injured, how can you leave?"

"I can't go, but you can. Do you remember the culvert we came up in, and go down there—"

"No!" Li Changxing said without thinking, "I will never abandon you."

Zhuo Yue was so angry that he hissed: "You bastard, what kind of hero are you! Why are we waiting here to die together? Are you rushing to cook together!"

"Don't talk nonsense." Li Changxing's eyes cooled down.His usual obedient and soft expression faded away, and what emerged was an undeniable hardness and coldness.He looked down at Zhuo Yue from a height, and the flickering candles in the room danced on his deep face, which was a bit frightening.

"This time, I will never leave alone."

Zhuo Yue was taken aback by him.He subconsciously wanted to swear, but he didn't know if he was injured and weak, or because he had just saved his life, so he murmured for a while, and finally said: "What did you say 'this time'..."

You've never left alone before.

Li Changxing frowned, turned around and handed the bowl of medicine that Miss Zheng brought in to his mouth: "Drink the medicine."

"I will do it myself--"

As soon as Li Changxing raised his hand, he poured the medicine into his mouth.

what happened!Zhuo Yue gulped down, feeling extremely depressed.Why did I just pass out for a short while, and the soft sheep turned into a ferocious wolf!

At this time, the door was gently pushed open again, and someone came in and called, "Master Jun?"

When Zhuo Yue looked up, he saw a middle-aged man with a slightly fatter figure and a small cap with melon skin coming in. It was Zheng Fuhu they had seen on the wall during the day, followed by his daughter Miss Zheng.

"Master Jun is awake?" He walked a few steps closer in surprise, and sighed, "Fortunately, the barbarian didn't cut deep, and now he only hurt the flesh. I guess it will take a few days to recover."

Zhuo Yue frowned at him and thanked him in a low voice.

"Is there any mission for Mr. Jun to enter the city?" Zheng Fuhu Xu Xu sighed, "Why did two people come in? This is too dangerous. Why don't you stay with me for a few days, and leave the city as soon as the limelight passes—— "

"Master Zheng." Zhuo Yue interrupted him, "It's one thing for me to thank you. But in the past two days, you have forged iron and sewed cotton-padded clothes for Zakan people. I have already seen you."

Zheng Fuhu's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at Zhuo Yue in surprise, his mouth half-opened as if he didn't know what to say.The girl from the Zheng family stood behind him somewhat awkwardly, rubbing her sleeves, and bowed her head in silence.

Zhuo Yue said calmly: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to blame you. It was the Central Plains Army who lost Danji City first, and the people always had to make some sacrifices in order to survive. But I am a soldier, and our border guards The soldiers don’t know how many people died of freezing because of wearing single clothes, and I can’t ask for help from a person who sews cotton clothes for Jagan people.”

There was a moment of silence in the room.

"Father." The Zheng girl called out tremblingly.

Zhuo Yue looked at Li Changxing: "Let's leave in a while."

Li Changxing pursed his lips and looked at him with an unpredictable expression, and remained silent.

"If the Zhagan people find out here, they will say that I coerced you." Zhuo Yue barely supported himself, "You have made great contributions to them in armaments, and they shouldn't make things difficult for you."

Zheng Fuhu's lips trembled and he clenched his fists.

"Father!" The girl from the Zheng family yelled again, this time with complaints in her voice.

Zheng Fuhu frowned tightly, suddenly slapped his knees, stood up suddenly and raised his voice: "Come on, bring a cart of cotton clothes!"

The author has something to say: I got home late today, a little late~

Brother Zhuo is also a poor man, with a very poor life experience, but in the future he will have little Li to care about him!
