Li Chengming didn't feel his slightly sore wrists feel better until dinner time.

Because he was unwell, the convoy moved slowly, which delayed the trip.

At night, the group of them didn't feel the county town in front of them, so they could only find a small village nearby to stay.

The village head of this village saw that the prisoner was being escorted by an official, and asked to know that the man in the carriage was a high official from the capital, and the man who was imprisoned turned out to be the well-known Governor of Huainan.

In a hurry, he quickly greeted the person and arranged for the adults to live in his own home.

After that, the village chief's family had a busy meal back and forth, and prepared some very rich meals for these small families.

Zhao Suran accepted it with a smile, but after the meal, Li Chengming gave the village chief some small silver on his back, which was regarded as money for the group's accommodation and meals.

Naturally, the village chief didn't dare to accept it.

But Zhao Suran's words completely silenced what the village chief said.

He didn't dare to do this kind of thing of collecting people's fat and people's anointing, or he would be beheaded sooner or later like the two in the prison car outside!

After hearing this, the village head could only accept the money in trepidation.

Li Chengming ate and drank enough, and ate a few more sour plums.That's why I didn't spit it out again like before.

Fortunately, the things made by the small farmers are light and delicious, although the meat is a bit disappointing.

But it's better than eating dry food and sleeping in the open.

It's just that not long after dinner, Li Chengming felt a little sleepy.

After wiping his body with the water weeds from the call, he went to bed early and lay down.

Zhao Suran had been lying on the side of the bed with his clothes on, at first he was chatting with Li Chengming, but in the end he seemed to be very sleepy, so he calmed down a little and watched him slowly fall asleep.

Zhao Suran looked at Li Chengming, whose breathing had weakened but was very even after he fell into a deep sleep, his eyes were deep and deep, his brows were furrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.Suddenly, he probed and kissed Li Chengming's forehead lightly, got up and went out without a sound.

Zhao Suran went to the next door and called Zhao Suxing out, and the two stood in the farmer's courtyard.

Looking up is the sky full of stars, and the bright moon stands in the sky.

Zhao Suran frowned slightly, and looked at the sky in silence for a while.He suddenly sighed, and looked sideways at his younger brother: "Su Xing, can you escort the prisoner to Beijing with the officials this time?"

"What's the matter? Brother, what else do you not do?" Zhao Suxing was slightly puzzled.

Zhao Suran was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I want to go back to the Wulin League first."

"Wulin League?"

"Yes, I want to see if there is any news from Mother. Or Dad...Dad, has he captured the ancient winter worm from the Demon Cult!"

"Brother, are you willing to recognize your father again?" Zhao Suxing's expression was slightly excited.

"..." Zhao Suran didn't speak, just looked at him coldly.

Zhao Suxing coughed, terrified of being looked at by his elder brother, he quickly changed the subject and asked, "Is it for sister-in-law?"

"Yeah!" Zhao Suran pondered for a moment: "Jiming's abnormalities are becoming more and more obvious now, that Gu Dongchong said in his letter that this Gu would not cause any harm to the human body, now it seems that he is probably lying to me! I have to ask him face to face once!"

"However, when the Wulin League went to crusade against the Demon Sect, good and bad people mixed up every time. Dad might not be able to meet that ancient winter worm..."

Zhao Suran clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves tightly, his face unprecedentedly stern.He interrupted him directly, with awe-inspiring anger in his words: "If Gu Dongchong has not been captured and brought back to the Wulin League, then I will go there myself! Even if the Demon Cult is turned upside down, I must catch him, Ask the real details of this Gu worm!"

"..." Zhao Suxing was slightly stunned, and knew in his heart that his elder brother was really angry this time, so he didn't dare to speak again at the moment, so he obediently accepted the task of escorting the prisoner, needless to say.

Afterwards, the convoy went all the way north, and the carriage and prison cart where Li Chengming was in walked for a few more days before they finally parted ways.

Before Zhao Suxing left, Zhao Suran told him again, saying, if you are near the capital, don't go in.Let Zhao Suxing go to the Shangshu Mansion in the capital to find his housekeeper, and let the housekeeper find a man named Gao Sheng.

After contacting Gao Sheng, hand over Yan and his son directly to him, and Gao Sheng will take care of it.

Zhao Suxing listened attentively and remembered it in his heart.

Afterwards, Zhao Suxing made it easier for them to separate, and he followed the official mission to escort Yan's father and son to Beijing.

On Li Chengming's side, the situation is getting worse and worse.

At first, Li Chengming ate something, and he could eat a few sour plums to suppress his nausea.

But then slowly, it became so serious that I vomited whatever I ate, and I couldn't stop it.

Zhao Suran saw many doctors for him along the way, but they were all at a loss, unable to find out the symptoms.

Gradually, Zhao Suran discovered that although he was the person he was with day and night, he could feel that Li Chengming was getting thinner and thinner day by day.Later, even his appetite became worse, and he could only lie weakly on the bed every day.

Zhao Suran's face became colder every day, but in front of Li Chengming, he never showed any clues.Only after Li Chengming fell asleep more and more frequently did Zhao Suran dare to show the worry and helplessness in his heart.

Zhao Suran gently kissed Li Chengming's face that was getting thinner day by day, with never-before-seen tenacity shining in his brows.

Sincerely... I will never...

At this time, the season is approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival.As soon as Zhao Suran arrived at the border of the Wulin League, he was taken aback by the joyous atmosphere that filled the streets.

The only thing I thought about was that it turned out to be Mid-Autumn Festival, no wonder...

Zhao Suran suddenly sneered, it was obviously the first Mid-Autumn Festival with him, but God wanted to play a joke on them like this.

"with distinction……"

Zhao Suran was pushing the car door open, staring at the street in a daze, thinking, but there was a faint voice calling from behind.

Zhao Suran turned his head away in an instant, but a smile had changed on his face: "Are you awake?"

Li Chengming nodded slightly, as if he didn't even have the strength to speak.

Zhao Seran's heart twitched when he saw it, and he grabbed his chest severely.Still smiling, he leaned over and kissed Li Chengming's eyelids, and carefully carried him off the carriage.

Zhao Suran carried Li Chengming to the inn room, put him gently on the bed, and carefully covered him with the quilt.

Looking up at his pale complexion, there seemed to be a flash of pain in his deep eyes.But he forced himself to ask with a soft smile, "How is it, are you hungry? Do you want to eat?"

Li Chengming looked sideways and thought for a while, as if he was really thinking seriously: "Well..."

Zhao Suran sat by the bed, holding Li Chengming's hand, not urging, but patiently waiting.

After a long time, Li Chengming looked at Zhao Suran, smiled softly, and said, "I suddenly want to eat the kind of candied haws bought on the street. The skewered hawthorns are covered with shiny sugar shells, and my mouth is watering just thinking about it... "

Upon hearing this, Zhao Suran's eyes showed some joy, and he hurriedly said, "Okay! I'll help you buy it right away."

"Wait..." Li Chengming stretched out his hand to hold him, obviously using very light force, but Zhao Suran stopped immediately.

"what happened?"

"Forget it..." Li Chengming shook his head slightly, speaking in a soft and slow voice: "It's getting dark now, where can anyone buy candied haws? Don't let you make another trip in vain."

Zhao Suran listened to him patiently, frowning slightly.But he patted Li Chengming's arm reassuringly: "Why not, look carefully for sure! I'll go and I'll be right back."

After Zhao Suran finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed Li Chengming's slightly cold lips, and murmured softly, "Wait for me!"

After speaking, he got up directly and walked out in two steps.

It's just that Zhao Suran didn't see that after he turned around, Li Chengming raised his arm slightly, but finally put it down weakly.

Li Chengming closed his eyes, there seemed to be a tear in the corner of his eyes, but there seemed to be nothing.

Only after a while, the door was pushed open again, Li Chengming turned his head to look in doubt, but it was Zhao Suran who came back again.

"what happened?"

Zhao Suran strode over and lifted the quilt.Pick up the cloak on one side, wrap Li Chengming around, and slowly hug him up: "I don't worry about you being alone, let's go together."

"But, if you hold me, you will be tired..." Li Chengming said softly.

Zhao Suran took a deep breath, the weight in his arms was almost nothing, how could he be tired?

But in his mouth, he only smiled lightly and said: "Holding you, I will never be tired."

When Li Chengming heard this, he stopped objecting and leaned on Zhao Suran's shoulder with a slight smile.

Why didn't he want to be with him all the time.If you really will...

Then now, don't waste a second!

In this way, such a scene appeared on the street.

A handsome and dignified man was holding him firmly in his arms, walking down the street step by step.

The man lowered his head with a gentle look on his face, looking at the person in his arms like a treasure.

The man in his arms was wrapped in a wide cloak, but his face could not be seen clearly.

Many people around looked sideways at these two people, but the parties seemed to be unaware of it.

It's just that the person who was held in his arms suddenly raised his head slightly, looked around, and then slowly shrank back.

Everyone was surprised, that man turned out to be a handsome young man.

Zhao Suran walked on the street with Li Chengming in his arms like this, feeling the fullness of being in a tight embrace.

As the sky gradually darkened, many hawkers along the street cleaned up their stalls. They walked for a long time, but they didn't see a single person selling candied haws along the way.

But both of them didn't mention the matter of going back, they seemed to be experiencing the unique tranquility exclusive to the two of them at this moment.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival..." the man in his arms whispered.

"yes……"

"It's good to be with you..." The man in his arms seemed to let out a sigh.

The footsteps of the person holding the person paused slightly, and the face could not be seen clearly under the dim light.

But immediately, he slowly stepped away again.

In this way, the two behaved strangely and walked on the street for an unknown amount of time, until they actually met a seller of candied haws.

Zhao Suran's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over with Li Chengming in his arms.

There were only two scattered candied haws left on the shelf, and the boss probably wanted to buy these two before going home.

"Boss, I want these two candied haws!" Zhao Suran said eagerly, his tone was unprecedentedly excited, and the happy expression on his face was like a child who finally found a secret treasure while playing a game.

Li Chengming's heart moved when he saw it, and he tugged at the fabric of Zhao Suran's front: "Suran, let me down."

"you……"

"It's okay, let me down." Li Chengming insisted.

Zhao Suran had no choice but to let go and put him down firmly.

The boss had already handed over the candied haws.

"Two candied haws, a total of six dollars!"

Zhao Suran gave the copper plate.He took the candied haws and handed them to Li Chengming.

Li Chengming only picked up one, and looked at Zhao Suran with a smile on his face: "I'll give you one for today's festival. One for you, one for me, just right!"

Zhao Suran was slightly stunned, but did not refuse, and replied with a slight smile: "Okay."

Zhao Suran watched Li Chengming put the candied haws in his mouth, took a bite of one, and then he raised the one in his hand and put it in his mouth.

In fact, he doesn't like to eat these things at all.

But now I feel that the candied haws are covered with a thin coating of sugar, which is crunchy in the mouth, mixed with the waxy and soft hawthorn, sweet and sour, and articulate.

But why is my heart bitter.

Li Chengming looked at Zhao Suran, he was obviously smiling, but still couldn't hide his slightly frowning brows.

Slowly raised his hand, trying to smooth his frown.

It's just that before the fingertips touched Zhao Suran's eyebrows, he suddenly lost his strength and fell down.

"Jinming!" Zhao Suran caught Li Chengming's falling body and shouted in panic.

Suddenly, there was a shout of joy in the distance: "Zhao Suran! Zhao Suran! I finally found you!"
