Chapter 254

The rain curtain outlines the city with scattered streets and alleys, and in the dark night, dots of light spots spread sparsely.

The sound of "beep boo" sounded, and a ball of sparks flew over the short eaves, and fell into darkness in the heavy rain.Raindrops formed a curtain under the eaves, and the sound of water flowed freely in the dark courtyard.Rain and darkness are the theme of this night, and the torch on the wall is the only light source in this small space, illuminating some places in the wind and rain.

In the heavy rain, except for the sound of the rain, everything seemed very quiet.Without the moonlight and the insects in early autumn, the outlines of the medical hall and academy on the side can no longer be seen clearly.

In the night before, the medical hall was always noisy, the sounds of doctors and clerks coming and going, the sound of boiling medicine in the small kitchen, the sounds of groans caused by various injuries, and the sounds of cursing and swearing. There will be pedestrians coming and going on the road outside the gate of the courtyard. Those who dare to walk at night at this time are mostly soldiers or Jianghu people. They are drunk or have lost a fight, talking nonsense, approaching from far away, and then gradually moving away. .

But tonight, everything was isolated.

The girl exchanged a torch under the eaves.

New torches were built into the walls.The torch that had been burnt to only a small half fell to the ground. In the light and shadow, the girl's figure was a little flustered, and then kicked the torch into the rain. The flame swayed and then disappeared in the water. .

The wall of the house was broken, and the torch was embedded in the breach, illuminating both the outside and the inside of the house.A young man in a scholar's robe is reading a book in the house, occasionally raising his head to speak, and a girl walks through the eaves, and sometimes sits down on the threshold with her chin propped up.It was a simple rainy night, the house was half broken, and the master and servant only occasionally had a simple conversation.

"I washed the dishes just now." Xiao Chan snapped her fingers, "Then I washed the clothes, there is no place to hang them..."

"Ok?"

"So it's still in the basin...will it rain so much tomorrow..."

……

"A few days ago, the grandfather of the Liu family in the medical center said that there is a kind of herbal tea that is good for your injury..." Sitting on the threshold, Xiao Chan suddenly remembered.

"Herbal tea?"

"Yeah, I didn't pay attention at the time, I'll ask Grandpa Liu tomorrow to ask for it, and I'll also go to the medical clinic to help..." The little maid nodded.

……

"Uncle, a lot of people with severed arms and legs were brought into the medical center yesterday, do you think they were wounded soldiers transported back from Jiaxing?" He lowered his voice.

"Probably not, it's too far away."

"Oh, it would be great if it was over there." Xiao Chan raised her head, "When will this battle be fought..."

……

……

The time passed like this, making people uncertain. Maybe it was already late at night, or maybe it would be a long time before it was late at night.Maybe Xiaochan didn't really have the desire to speak, so she opened her mouth, but just used the sound to confirm that she and Ning Yi were still together in some form.

Of course, in the past nights, it was very common for the master and the servant to talk a lot about things, but tonight it was different. Xiaochan wanted to say something, but the words she said were slightly forced, making people have nothing to say but looking for something to say. I don't dare to really talk too much.More often, she still sat on the threshold and looked at Ning Yi, or looked at the roof with a big hole and the raindrops kept falling, or looked for something by herself.As a maid, it is not easy for her to disturb Ning Yi's reading time.I don't know how long it took, Ning Yi raised his head and saw the girl looking over there. After looking at each other for a while, he heard her whisper: "My lord, do you want to miss them?"

Being together in such a situation and environment is actually an extremely depressing thing in many cases.During the war, people are like ants. Since she was caught, Xiao Chan has been with Ning Yi. In the first few days, even when she was sleeping, she had to hold Ning Yi's hand to feel at ease. She thought that no matter what happened, if someone wanted to separate her from her uncle, she might have to die.

This kind of thing didn't happen, but there were doctors, wounded people around, and the two guards were watching all the time, and there might be some kind of people watching them secretly.Even though they said some comforting words to each other, the two didn't really talk too much about the situation in front of them, so as not to let others see their thoughts here or understand the cowardice in their hearts. Xiaochan just told herself that being able to be with my uncle It's good to be together, I shouldn't ask too much about other things, and it's useless to ask, if my uncle has a way, he will always speak up when he needs me, if not, I will just make my uncle troublesome.

Within a short distance, there are as many people as enemy countries.Under the atmosphere that seemed to be watched at any time, both of them kept quiet subconsciously.Try to recuperate, work, and live as usual, so that maybe you won't collapse.But it was also in the temporary safe atmosphere tonight, where the whole world seemed to be isolated, that Xiao Chan was able to ask such questions in a low voice.

Ning Yi looked at her for a while, and closed the book: "I think too, I don't know how they are."

"Miss Juan'er and Sister Xing'er should go back to Huzhou, right?"

"Your lady is too stubborn, but..." Ning Yi thought for a while, "She also knows the priority of things. If there is no accident, I think it will be fine."

Xiao Chan nodded, hugged her knees, rested her chin on her knees, after a long while, she looked over again, and said softly, "Guye, can we... can we go back?"

She may have held back this sentence for a long time, knowing that it doesn't make much sense to ask, but after all, the girl still hopes to have a backbone. Ning Yi nodded, just like the previous question, unwilling to be perfunctory: "There is a chance, they We were caught, there is no way to deal with it, there are always opportunities, and besides..." Ning Yi paused, then just nodded, "Don't worry, just like the way we escaped, there will always be opportunities, maybe when It will let me catch the flaw and bite them bitterly."

Xiaochan pursed her lips: "Then young master, don't get hurt again..."

"Heh..." Ning Yi laughed, but his eyes turned cold, "Actually, we were arrested not only because of the people on Fang La's side, but also because of the people on our side."

"Huh?" Xiao Chan's eyes widened.

"According to what you said, Xiao Chan, before we were dispersed, there was vague news that Fang La's army wanted to arrest me. At that time, I was unconscious and didn't know about it, but at that time Fang La's army had already After regrouping, they were beaten again along the way. They sent a large group of people to protect me, and then they were discovered again. It might be Tang Xiuxuan or Chen Xingdu. These people took me as a bait... "

"What, what?" Hearing Ning Yi say this lightly, Chan'er clenched her small fists and stood up from there, "They, how could they do this, my lord, you saved all of them... ..."

Ning Yi looked at her righteous indignation, put down the book with a smile, reached out and took Xiao Chan's hand, and pulled her over.The little girl who was still angry just now blushed, but Ning Yi didn't stop like this. He was originally sitting on the only stool in the room, but at this time he was holding Xiaochan and sitting on his lap. The movement was too natural, Xiaochan shrank her body, not daring to resist, only listening to Ning Yi talking beside her.

"It's not surprising. First, these people have been in power for a lifetime. I have contributed too much. Maybe I can only highlight the incompetence of these people. The situation in the middle is very complicated; second, the background of Liu Dabiao who wants to arrest me should be very good. Hou, they chased after me persistently, and the pressure here is also high. They used me as a bait, maybe it was just a rainy day idea, and it would come true, and I was unlucky... If I didn’t fall ill at the time, I should have taken precautions.”

Ning Yi smiled: "Of course, having said that, if I'm not sick, they wouldn't dare to do such a thing. Heh, in that case, a small team of people will be created to protect me, and they will not be with the army. Once the enemy rushes over, what's the point? They're going back now, and I'm not here, and people like Tang Xiuxuan and Chen Xingdu will take the credit for it, and they won't have the possibility of comparing with me. This is the real perfection Beauty, everyone is happy. After listening to you talk about the situation at that time in the past few days, I can probably understand."

Xiao Chan suppressed her blushing: "They are like this... If we go back, if we go back..."

"I'll talk about it after I go back. It's useless to be angry now. I'm actually a little worried about your young lady and the child in her womb. Someone should come to chat with me in the next few days, and I'll ask him about it. It should... there will be a result. In fact, I already feel that it is a bit late, but the later the better. If possible, Xiaochan, I will send you back, but it is hard to say now. More likely, we probably I'm going to be here for a long time..."

Ning Yi's words were a bit messy. Xiaochan was hugged by him at this time, her head was in a mess, and it was difficult to analyze the problems of chatting, early and late, but the last sentence was always understandable: "I , I...where my uncle is, there is Xiao Chan..."

"Well." Ning Yi nodded, "Then, it's getting late, and it's time to go to bed."

"Uh..." Xiaochan's body tightened suddenly, "but..."

Before she finished speaking, Ning Yi had already hugged her.Xiaochan's head was stunned for a moment, and she was almost huddled in Ning Yi's arms, but she was so stiff that she didn't dare to move, and it was raining outside.

There was only one bed in the room, and she was put on it.

In fact, some things may not be really unprepared, for both of them, since Ning Yi fell from the roof in the afternoon, and her cot could no longer sleep, the little maid may have thought of certain things.

Throughout the night, Xiao Chan's feeling of having nothing to say but not daring to really talk nonsense probably came from this.She is a girl, it is not easy to talk about these things with Ning Yi, and she dare not mention them.Later, Ning Yi talked about his thoughts, including that there will probably be nothing wrong here, there are some opportunities, including that he may live here for a long time, including that he was actually caught by calculations, or let her mind settle down, Either let her think of other things and successfully distracted her attention. At this time, he put her on the bed a little compulsively and a little naturally.

According to Ning Yi's original idea, there should be a formal wedding ceremony and a formal wedding.

But there is no such condition now.

Under such circumstances, they depend on each other for life, and it is impossible to see clearly what is going on ahead.Ning Yi has encountered similar dangerous situations before, but manpower is sometimes poor, which refers to such a situation. Perseverance, heart, and calculation can only increase the survival rate to a certain extent, but the overall situation is out of control, and nothing can be said , he is sometimes unavoidable to be anxious in such a situation, let alone such a young girl.

In fact, there will be more opportunities.

Although I don't know too much about the outside world, what Fang La's army thinks of him, and the intention of guarding him here, but under his design, the situation in Huzhou has been messed up by him, and thousands of people died because of him Among them, the related generals in the rebel army did not know how many died.Under such circumstances, he was not killed, but placed here in such a form, which shows that someone must protect him.

One thing is important, if you kill him, there may be a consensus among the rebels, but if you protect him, conflicts will inevitably arise.There must be people who advocate killing him, even more than half.Under such circumstances, without Xiao Chan, his options would actually be much wider, including provoking both sides after familiarizing himself with the situation, and finding an opportunity to escape from the city on a similar rainy night can be considered, but with Xiao Chan , there is no need to think about these things, and for the time being, we can only wait for the other party to play their cards first.

Of course, there is no need for Xiaochan to know about these things. She has been afraid these days, but she dare not say anything, and can only endure the situation. Ning Yi sees it in her eyes. Now, there are some things that don’t need to be considered. At the end of the day, this is probably the most important thing to do now.

And for Xiao Chan, the whole night, including now, there may be only one thought that should be maintained: anyway, I belong to my uncle, anyway, I belong to my uncle.

So not long after, when Ning Yi went to the bed, he just watched the girl who had passed the cardamom age close her eyes and lay there upright and nervous.Xiao Chan is already 17 years old at this time, and at this time, she has been an adult for a long time. Although her appearance is childish, her body has already grown.At this time, his hands were folded on his lower abdomen, and his slender legs were tightly together.

Soon after, while the rain was still falling, the girl on the bed was stripped of her clothes.This night, in a corner of the city, when countless complicated things are overwhelming in life like a torrent, the two of them printed a sign of mutual dependence in the gap where there was only a little breathing...

******************

The rain stopped silently in the middle of the night.

When he opened his eyes, Ning Yi saw the light of the night pouring down from the opening of the house. The air after the rain was soaked in the light, like cyan amber. Looking out from the huge opening, he could see The flowing galaxy.

No matter what age, there is only this galaxy, perhaps something that will never change. He has seen it many times. In the picture, there are tall buildings, airplanes and ships, and then those simple buildings and courtyards in my mind.

"Uncle, uncle..."

"Uncle, uncle, Xiaochan..."

"My name is Xiaochan..."

The mood when he heard the voice for the first time rose in his mind, and then his thoughts rushed over like a tide, and he hugged the girl in his arms tightly.

It's been two and a half years since I came here...
