Dianxia Qingcheng

Qi Changyi didn't know what was going on outside, he buried his head in Pei Zheng's chest, only the whistling of the strong wind could be heard in his ears, and the exposed nape of his neck was scratched a few times by the hanging wind and sand.

Then a slightly cool palm was pressed against the back of his neck, blocking the wind and sand for him.

Pei Zheng squinted his eyes, and when he opened them a little, he would be dazzled by the flying dust. He tried his best to look up, but he could only see a yellow mist in front of him.

The wind was still getting stronger, and it slowly swept the figures of the two into it.

Confused, Qi Changyi felt dizzy for a while, and then lost consciousness.

I don't know how long it took, and the surroundings became quiet, the kind of quietness that is so still, as if there is no life in the world.

Qi Changyi's long eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing that catches the eye is the clear sky with a few light clouds trimmed with gold.

After the wind and sand passed, even the sky became much clearer.

Qi Changyi moved his fingers and felt that his fingers were firmly entangled with the other hand. He looked sideways and saw another person lying beside him.

Pei Zheng hadn't woken up yet, holding the little man's hand with one hand, and protecting the little man's head with the other.

Qi Changyi turned over slowly, and felt pain all over his body, as if he had fallen from a high place.

He shook off the sand covering his body, then propped himself up with great effort, and looked at the situation of the people next to him.

Pei Zheng closed his eyes, a bloodstain was drawn on his cheek, and the blood was still oozing out, but he didn't seem to feel the slightest, motionless, he couldn't even hear the sound of breathing.

Qi Changyi panicked, stretched out his hand, and gently pushed Pei Zheng's chest twice.

"Wake up"

But the people under him did not respond.

Qi Changyi was anxious and frightened, his eyes were red, and he wiped the blood off Pei Zheng's face with his little hand.

"Wake up, don't have anything to do, you can't have something to do, don't leave me begging you to wake up"

There was no one around, and the endless desert seemed to be the only two of them left.

Qi Changyi was afraid that Pei Zheng would really be out of breath, so he reached over with trembling hands, trying to feel Pei Zheng's breathing.

As soon as the hand moved over, it was suddenly grabbed by someone.

"Why, are you afraid that I will die?"

Pei Zheng's voice was a little hoarse, his tone was light, and he didn't panic at all when he was in a dangerous situation.

After Qi Changyi heard the familiar voice, the tense string in his heart snapped. He was really scared to the extreme at that moment just now, and now tears poured out of his eyes uncontrollably.

The little man fell asleep without speaking, but tears fell like broken beads.

Pei Zheng raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Okay, be good, stop crying. I'm awake, I won't leave you."

I will never, never leave you.

Why does this phrase feel so familiar?

Qi Changyi thought hard, and a figure appeared in his mind, but he couldn't see his face clearly.

"cough cough"

Pei Zheng withdrew his hand, coughed a few times suddenly, followed by a bloody breath that filled his throat, and was suppressed again.

The little man heard that Pei Zheng was coughing, and he looked unhappy, worry and fear gathered between his eyebrows and eyes.

Although he hasn't forgiven Pei Zheng yet, he doesn't want anything to happen to Pei Zheng. His innocence and kindness are engraved in his bones, and this will never change.

And Pei Zheng knew how to take advantage of his soft heart.

"Hand hurts so much," Pei Zheng looked at his hand under the little man's head, "it might be broken."

Sure enough, the little man immediately looked over nervously.

"Move, try, gently"

Pei Zheng moved cooperatively, his hand was not broken, but it was indeed numb from the pressure, a little uncontrollable.

Qi Changyi carefully touched that hand, raised his eyes and asked, "Will this hurt?"

Pei Zheng looked at his watery eyes, and his heart beat twice. He hadn't looked at himself with such eyes for a long time.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts."

Qi Changyi was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand, "I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose, so what should I do, you can't move around, you have to fix your wrist first

of……"

As he spoke, he took off some of the gauze that was used to wrap the wound on his arm, and bandaged it neatly for Pei Zheng.

Pei Zheng stared at his skillful movements, didn't he not remember Shen Jiu's memory?But he can still remember these medical skills.

After the bandage was finished, Qi Changyi asked, "Will it still hurt? Is it better?"

"It seems to be better."

Pei Zheng pretended to move slightly, but now even the numbness has passed.

"But it still hurts badly, unless"

He suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled the little man who knelt down in front of him, so that the little man fell straight into his arms, and then his voice was low and close to the jade-like earlobe.

"...Unless you, let me kiss you."

The white earlobe instantly flushed red.

Qi Changyi put his hands on Pei Zheng's chest, shoved him shamefully and angrily, then straightened himself up and was about to stand up, but he couldn't stand still and fell back down, only to be helped by Pei Zheng. Hold on tight.

That hand rested on the little man's waist. Although Pei Zheng was injured, he could still firmly support his weight.

"Weak legs?" Pei Zheng narrowed his long and narrow eyes slightly, and smiled lightly with a look of good mood.

In fact, he just wanted to joke with the little man, so that he would not be so nervous and afraid.

Qi Changyi's cheeks were flushed now, she turned her head away, and made up her mind not to talk to Pei Zheng any more.

Pei Zheng clutched his chest and sat up. He had been using his internal strength to protect the person in his arms last night. Originally, his own body had not recovered, but now his blood surged up.

However, you can't do anything in front of the little man, and you can't scare him.

Pei Zheng stood up, collected himself, and looked around.

But there were no shadows of other people in the queue around, and even the sand dunes in the distance did not leave the slightest trace.

In this desert, breaking away from the large army is tantamount to a dead end.

The two of them had no food, no water, and even had injuries. They didn't know how long they could last.

Pei Zheng stretched out his other hand to the little man who was still sitting on the ground, "Come."

Qi Changyi stared blankly at the hand.

Pei Zheng leaned over and pulled him up, then took his hand, and walked slowly on the sand.

Pei Zheng could vaguely remember where the oasis mentioned by the guide might be, so he walked in that direction according to the position of the sun above his head.

Qi Changyi twitched his hands twice at the beginning, but he was only held tighter by Pei Zheng. After walking a few steps, he was a little out of breath, and he didn't care whether he was held by Pei Zheng.

The sun above the head was getting more and more scorching, and the little man who followed behind was blushing, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

Qi Changyi's eyes became more and more blurred, his consciousness drifted away, and his footsteps were vacant. He looked at Pei Zheng's back and reached out to touch it, but suddenly he tripped over a sandpit and was about to fall down. .

Pei Zheng was hit on the back, and he quickly turned around, dragging the little man's limp body.

"Your Highness!"

Qi Changyi's eyes were slightly open, his body was burning hot, and his lips were very dry. At this point, he should have taken the medicine long ago, but now not only there is no medicine, there is no water.

Pei Zheng picked him up.

"Don't sleep, do you hear me? I know you're tired and sleepy, but don't sleep now and talk to me, okay?"

With the little man on his back, Pei Zheng walked on the sand step by step, leaving a string of lonely footprints.

This desert seems to have no end. If you walk through a sand dune, you will find that there are all the same sand dunes in front of you.

Continuous and endless.

Qi Changyi lay softly on Pei Zheng's shoulders and neck, his eyelids were already heavy, but Pei Zheng told him not to fall asleep, so he tried hard not to close his eyes.

"Brother Pei"

With a call in a very low voice, Pei Zheng paused.

He knew that the little man might not be conscious now, so he tried his best to make his voice sound the same.

"Well, I'm here."

"Brother Pei, I haven't seen you for a long time, where have you been?"

The corners of Pei Zheng's lips twitched, "I, I didn't go anywhere. I've been waiting for you at home. It's because you didn't come home."

Qi Changyi pouted, "Didn't I go home? Why didn't I go home? But, but I don't have a home at all."

"Who said you don't have a home? Your home is in the imperial capital, the imperial palace is your home, and the prime minister's mansion is also your home. You have two homes."

Pei Zheng said, "After you are cured, I will take you home, okay?"

Qi Changyi nodded obediently, "Okay but, will you accompany me? I'll be scared if I'm alone."

"Yes, I will accompany you and protect you, no one will dare to bully you again."

Qi Changyi seemed relieved, but as if thinking of something, he asked again, "What about you, Brother Pei, you won't bully me anymore?

"I, no, never again."

"You lied." Qi Changyi's aggrieved eyes moistened, "You, I'm going to marry someone else, I don't want to see you again, I'm going,

It’s so cold on that cliff, it’s so dark and it’s snowing, it’s red snow.”

Pei Zheng stopped, put down the little man behind him who was muttering to himself, let him sit on the sand, and then bent down in front of him.

Looking at those tear-filled eyes, Pei Zheng felt a sharp pain in his heart, raised his hand to gently cover the little man's eyes, and took him into his arms with the other hand.

"Didn't marry anyone else, and never had anyone else."

Pei Zheng took a small hand, attached it to his heart, and said softly, "This is you, it has always been you, and it will only be you in the future."
