dust song

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Lichen was still sleepy on the bed, and Shao Lin didn't close his eyes all night, but he went to the town's market early to buy some food and went home.

When Siwen woke up and went out of the room, he saw Shao Lin busy decocting medicine in the kitchen. He hesitated in place, thought for a while, and then walked forward with downcast eyes.

"You didn't sleep all night, why don't I help you watch for a while..." Siwen's voice was a little hoarse, as if he didn't sleep well.

"No need." Shao Lin lifted the lid, glanced at the concoction in the jar, without raising his head, "There is something to eat on the table in the back room."

Siwen opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something in his heart, but in the end he just responded in a low voice, then turned and left.

......

The sound of water, the sound of wind, and the feeling of falling from a high place surrounded him from all directions.

Countless people who couldn't see their faces laughed wantonly in their ears, and in a blink of an eye they turned into claws, dragging their thin bodies into the abyss.

At the end of the darkness, Di Qing's mocking words were still in front of his eyes; his heartbroken smile turned into blood red coldly.

The green jadeite flower pendant, the green jadeite flower pendant that the prince gave him is gone, and I can't find it no matter what...

The beating heart in the chest seemed to be tightly held by someone, constantly tightening.

"No...don't..." Chu Lichen whispered in his dream in fear, he opened his eyes suddenly, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

There were faint candles burning around, and it was a completely different silence from the dream.

Chu Lichen, who had had a high fever for several days, finally woke up under the care of Shao Lin day and night.

Seeing the closed eyelids slowly opened, Shao Lin, who had been sitting by the bed, jumped up from the stool immediately, and asked excitedly: "Xiao Chenzi, you woke up, do you want to drink water? Are you hungry?" Is there any discomfort?"

The movement was so loud that it instantly woke up Siwen who was resting on the table behind him. He blinked his dry eyes, got up quietly and left knowingly, walked into the kitchen, filled out the medicine that Chu Lichen wanted to drink, and then Holding a bowl, he waited outside the door.

Chu Lichen frowned weakly, he turned his head in confusion, his lips moved a few times, as if he wanted to ask a lot.

Seeing this, Shao Lin immediately leaned over and put his ear close to Chu Lichen's lips, but all he heard were a few hazy and indistinct mutterings.

Shao Lin knew that Chu Lichen's voice was not good before, and it was normal for him to be speechless for a while after the fever subsided, and he also knew what Chu Lichen wanted to say in his heart.

Shao Lin gently raised his hand to check the temperature of Chu Lichen's forehead, and said softly, "Little Chen, you have been in a coma for five days. This is the East Village outside the city. No one is safe. No one will come to hurt you again."

Chu Lichen's eyes shone brightly, as if they were already moist, he couldn't speak, so he could only respond through his nose, "...um..." Then he became excited again, and coughed several times, the frightened Shao Lin hurriedly Helped Chu Lichen to pat his back.

The moment his fingertips touched his body, Chu Lichen subconsciously tensed up to escape, but suddenly remembered something, and finally relaxed and leaned into Shao Lin's arms.

Siwen saw that the time was almost up, so he stepped in, stretched the medicine bowl to Chu Lichen's eyes, and said with a slight smile, "Since you're awake, drink the medicine while it's hot."

Chu Lichen stared blankly at Siwen, then pursed his lips and remained silent for a while, before he had time to ask why the two of them were there that day.

So he tremblingly raised his finger to point to Siwen, then to Shao Lin, and after several gestures, Shao Lin finally understood.

"Little Chen, don't worry, he and I were kicked out by the prince, and we won't go back in the future, so we will stay here to take care of you."

Shao Lin comforted him with a smile, but he didn't explicitly say that he and Siwen would take care of Chu Lichen together.

Chu Lichen pointed at himself in a panic, his eyes full of self-blame, "Ah... um..." Is it because I hurt you because I went outside the city without permission that day?

Although he didn't say a word, Shao Lin still understood, "Don't think too much, it's not because of you."

Chu Lichen nodded suspiciously, his open pupils were big and black, but there was no purity and innocence like water in it, only a dark patch reflected the bitter medicine in the bowl, he pulled his lips weakly The corners of his eyes couldn't hide the overwhelming sadness and despair in his expression.

Shao Lin was secretly startled at the side, seeing Chu Lichen's appearance, he probably didn't know that the lord had accepted the concubine, he thought timidly, if one day Chu Lichen suddenly asked him about the lord, he would How to answer.

After drinking the medicine, Chu Lichen slowed down for a while, and finally he was able to speak. He just curled up in Shaolin, and asked quietly: "These days...it's always...Brother Lin is taking care of... Um...me?"

Shao Lin hesitated for a moment before sighing, "Yes..."

When he spoke, his chest vibrated, causing Chu Lichen's ears to itch slightly.

Sure enough, it was because I was confused that I mistook Lin Ge for the prince.

Chu Lichen's face was pale, and the blood on his lips finally faded away. He kept his head down and didn't speak, and the room was silent for a while, almost suffocating.

Just when Shao Lin was anxious to ask, Chu Lichen suddenly half-closed his eyelids and laughed.

By the way, the prince is already married, so he doesn't want to be himself, it's like throwing away a discarded plaything, and he doesn't have the slightest sympathy at all.

Now that Chu Lichen finally realized how stupid he was back then, he not only kept in his heart every bit of tenderness that Murong Chengdu gave as he wished, but even thanked Dade for all his love.

The sudden laughter made both Shao Lin and Siwen a little confused. Therefore, Shao Lin felt faintly uneasy, and he suddenly lowered his head and hugged Chu Lichen tightly, "Little Chenzi, are you okay! Is there some pain in your body again?"

Chu Lichen was stunned, and then squeezed out an unknown smile on his face, "I...well...it's okay...Brother Lin, I'm hungry..."

"Okay, you lie down, brother Lin will cook a bowl of porridge for you."

Shao Lin responded softly, reluctantly entrusted Chu Lichen to Siwen, and then walked into the kitchen. Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of pots and pans being played outside.

Seeing Chu Lichen leaning against the head of the bed with a dejected expression, Siwen scratched his nose and didn't know what to say. Knowing the sound of boiling water coming from outside, Siwen carefully lowered his voice and asked: "After you followed Di Qing out of the palace, What happened? Why did you end up on the West Street with injuries all over your body?"

Thinking of what happened that day, Chu Lichen's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he couldn't say a word because of the pain in his heart. He shook his head vigorously, as if he didn't want to recall any more.

Siwen had a bad feeling, and immediately asked, "Did Qing do something to you?"

As soon as the words fell, Chu Lichen took a deep breath, and said with difficulty: "He wants...to kill...ah...me..."
