After getting out of the prison, You Qing's first thought was to find Bai Li. He didn't know if Bai Li was caught by the magistrate. Thinking of what the magistrate said, if Bai Li was arrested, someone would definitely come to inform him, and the magistrate kept shaking in front of him, and he never saw anyone come to inform him. Perhaps, Bai Li hadn't fallen in yet. in their hands.
In the dark night, You Qing thought that Bai Li still had a chance of life, so he raised his spirits and groped his way out of the county government through the dim moonlight. The strange thing was that he never met anyone who stopped him along the way. Except for a few prisoners in the prison, not a single living thing was seen. Going out so smoothly, You Qing felt very strange, but he couldn't think of a reason.
While walking on the road, except for some weakness, there was no other discomfort in my body. I subconsciously touched my wrist again, feeling incredible, and touched my face again, but I didn't feel any wounds. I walked to the creek. The dim moonlight illuminated it, and it was really no different from the past, as if the previous pain was just a dream.
After a little delay, he stood up again and hurried home. No matter how incomprehensible things are, it's better than enduring the pain with injuries. The most important thing right now is to go back quickly, and only when you see Bai Li can you feel relieved.
When I was walking on the road and was about to continue on my way, there was a sudden exclamation in front of me: "Aqing!"
You Qing's spirit was shocked. When he raised his head, he saw Bai Li hurriedly running over. Before he could make a sound, he suddenly threw his arms around his neck and pounced on him. His excited voice was close to his ears: "Aqing! Are you alright?"
You Qing was stunned for a moment, then quickly pulled him away, looked up and down, and immediately pulled his face: "Why are you only wearing so much?"
Bai Li looked down at his middle clothes and smiled indifferently: "It's okay, my typhoid fever has gotten better, and I'm in good spirits now!"
You Qing untied the clothes on his body, ignoring his struggle, he just put it on him, grabbed his arm and tucked it into his sleeve, and while struggling with him, he asked, "Are you all right? Has anyone been there today? go home?"
"No." Bai Li shook his head, took off his clothes again, was held down by You Qing, looked up at him with a sullen face, pouted his lips and fastened his belt obediently.
"Why are you out so late? What are you doing here?"
"Looking for you!" Bai Li raised his head, his eyes were hidden in the moonlight, and he patrolled his face nervously, but his tone was extremely relaxed, "It was dark when I woke up, and you haven't come back, I'm worried, I went out to find it."
Hearing what he said, You Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe he had escaped the disaster by running away with the yamen who came to arrest him. I had no choice but to avoid it first, and said warmly, "Go back quickly, we will leave for the capital tomorrow."
Bai Li's heart skipped a beat. He was obviously afraid of going to the capital, but now he knew that You Qing must be worried that the magistrate would make trouble again. Although he had a way to stop the magistrate, he wanted to follow You Qing's wishes. After thinking for a moment, he asked in surprise. Said: "So fast? Don't you still want to sell calligraphy and painting?"
"There are some coils, it is enough for the time being, you can save it while you are on the road."
"Yeah." Bai Li smiled and nodded at him.
After returning, the two simply ate some dinner and went to bed to rest.
Bai Li knew that You Qing had suffered a lot, and he was even more puzzled by the disappearance of his wound. He was lying on the bed tossing and turning, but he couldn't ask directly. When he asked, he would leak the stuffing, and the torture was like a cat scratching his heart. It was very uncomfortable.
You Qing experienced so many things in one day, and naturally he couldn't fall asleep. He lay on the bed and stared at the tent that was not very clear in the dark night. Hearing Bai Li's movement, he turned to look in his direction: "What's the matter? "
Bai Li stood up and looked at him, and asked, "Aqing, why did you come back so late? You didn't even eat dinner. Did the magistrate treat you harshly?"
"No harsh treatment." You Qing smiled silently, "I've been chatting for a while, so I came back late. But he wanted me to be engaged to his daughter, but I refused, annoyed him, naturally he didn't have dinner. came back."
Bai Li listened to this and said the opposite of what the two yamen said. Knowing that he probably didn't tell the truth, he sniffed depressed and lay down again: "Oh..."
Bai Li tossed for a while, listening to You Qing's breathing gradually calming down, wondering if he was asleep, so he whispered, "A Qing."
No one responded, probably asleep. Bai Li squeezed his hand in the quilt, and finally pulled it out uncontrollably, covering You Qing's cheek, with a force as light as a wing, for fear of waking him up. I touched both left and right, but couldn't find anything unusual, and finally I had to sigh and retract back into the quilt with full of doubts.
In the darkness, You Qing suddenly opened his eyes, with doubts mixed with clarity in his eyes. After a long time, he felt that Bai Li had fallen asleep, and then gradually became unconscious and fell asleep.
That night, You Qing fell into a chaotic dream again. The dream was still haunted by smoke, and the swirling plum petals covered the sky, even bullying her eyes. She closed her eyes, her nose was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and vague human words floated in her ears. Voice.
"Presumptuous! You can break into this forbidden area at will? To save this thing, you have to pass the grandfather's level first!"
"You have made a big mistake, and you dare to speak madly here, you are really courageous!"
"Child, bow your head and confess your guilt. The old man is waiting for you to come back and play chess with me. Don't be stubborn."
"Little thing, where is it hurt? Let me see it."
"woooooooo..."
"I don't know if you will remember me in the future, but it doesn't matter if you don't. If I can escape, I will definitely come to you."
In the noise, all kinds of human voices disturbed one after another, but strangely, a few words clearly floated into my ears. After a long period of confusion, the chaotic petals gradually stopped, the world fell into chaos, and the white fog became thicker and thicker. The whole person is wrapped around it and squeezed gradually.
The feeling of suffocation followed, and the chest was pressed down like a heavy stone, and every breath was very difficult.
You Qing was awakened by the feeling of suffocation. When he woke up, he was in a trance for a moment. He seemed to remember the scene in the dream, but he couldn't remember it clearly. The feeling of suffocation and suffocation was still maintained, and he glanced down at his chest in doubt, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
At this time, the sky was bright, and Bai Li was like a sleeping animal, lying on top of him. Not only did the weight of his half body press up, but he also rolled up the quilt and pressed his elbows out of the quilt. Grab him and sleep very sweetly.
If it was just people lying down, maybe it would be better, but Naihe added a quilt, and You Qing took a deep breath to fill his chest, which finally eased a lot. His wrists were tucked into the quilt for him. Not wanting this move, Bai Li actually woke up.
Blinking dazedly, Bai Li buried his head and arched it, as if he felt very comfortable, then stretched out his hand and hugged him with the quilt. After hugging for a while, he gradually regained consciousness. : "Aqing, are you awake?"
You Qing smiled, raised his hand and touched his forehead: "It's really good."
"Of course! I'm not going to lie to you!" Bai Li said confidently, but when he turned his head, he suddenly remembered that he was panicking last night. He quickly buried his head to cover his expression, and arched his body happily, thinking about it. You Qing was still lying beside him, although he had doubts in his heart, he couldn't help but frown and laughed silently.
You Qing touched his head, suddenly reluctant to let go of the smooth and soft touch of his hair, and subconsciously touched it several times, until Bai Li suddenly moved away from him before returning to his senses, looking outside. The sun was shining brightly, and the sullen mood last night also brightened, and he said with a smile, "It's time to get up."
Bai Li kept burying his head after retracting his half. He had touched his head several times before. Occasionally, his fingers slipped behind his ears and around his neck. He couldn't control his body from getting hot. I competed, but I didn't hear what he said. It wasn't until You Qing got out of bed and got dressed that he came back to his senses, and then he calmed down and got out of the bed with his eyes down.
After getting up, he boiled water and cooked porridge. While You Qing was washing his face, Bai Li had been squatting beside him, raising his head and staring at his face without blinking.
You Qing looked at his slightly exploratory eyes, a little doubt in his heart, and smiled: "What's wrong? Can you see the flowers?"
"Yeah!" Bai Li nodded, "I can see the flowers are coming!"
You Qing couldn't help but feel amused, and squatted down: "Then you've seen enough."
"Okay!" Bai Li immediately rubbed his hands and raised his hands to hold his face. Seeing a smile in his eyes, he couldn't help but be more courageous. His fingers fumbled around his face again. Looking at him with a smile, "Aqing, your face is prettier than mine!"
You Qing was stunned, the county magistrate's disgusting face suddenly appeared in his mind, as well as what he had said: "I heard that your book boy is so beautiful, I think that the prefect will be very satisfied with this gift. !"
Seeing that his face suddenly changed, Bai Li became nervous: "What's wrong?"
You Qing quickly put aside the chaotic memory in his head and smiled: "It's not necessarily a good thing to look good. When you go out, you have to be more careful about everything, you know?"
"I know!" Bai Li replied cheerfully with a smile.
You Qing pulled him to stand up: "It's time for breakfast, we'll set off after eating."
"What about the chickens behind the house?"
"Please give it to Aunt Zhang."
"Oh!"
On this day, You Qing and Bai Li simply packed up and saluted, greeted their neighbors one by one, and set foot on the road to the capital together.
At the same time, rumors spread at the foot of Yanshan, saying that there was a ghost in the county government office, the county magistrate and the officials were all stimulated, and they went crazy overnight and didn't even know anyone. not understand. The daughter of the county magistrate was so suffocated by this matter that she became bedridden all of a sudden.
After more than a month, a new county magistrate came to the county government to replace the original magistrate, and people in the surrounding villages began to look forward to it, wondering what this new official would do to the land.
