The daily routine of wearing a book and abusing literature to cultivate a scholar and Xiaoxianggong

Chapter 46 The Lady's Nightmare

"Mister? Mr. Mr.?"

In the darkness, Li Xiaodao was looking for the figure of Mr. Xianggong. Mr. Xianggong agreed to meet at this intersection at this time, but she searched all around but there was no figure of him.

Gradually, cold raindrops fell from the sky, and it didn't take long before it turned into a downpour.

"Xianggong—!" Li Xiaodao was in a hurry, Xianggong was never late and never broke his promise, something must have happened so he has not been seen until now.

She couldn't see the surrounding scenery clearly. She tried to open her eyes wider, but she couldn't.

In the torrential rain, she could only run forward, calling for her husband while running, but the surroundings were dead silent, and no one responded to her.

But why does she keep running?Then she remembered that someone was chasing her from behind.

To run faster!The people behind are about to catch up!

Hurry up!
But what about the husband?Where the hell is he!

As she ran, a small wooden house gradually appeared in the distance. Li Xiaodao didn't care about stepping on the muddy water. The heavy rain had already soaked her, and her trouser legs were covered with mud. She was cold and hungry, but she still kept running forward.

She's almost at the cabin, so she can take shelter from the rain, maybe her husband is waiting for her inside!
But the closer she got to the cabin, the mud under her feet seemed to get thicker, and it became more and more difficult for her to lift her feet.

When she was about to reach the door of the wooden house, she felt that she had no strength left.

"Master, where are you—" She stood in the mud and shouted desperately.

"Miss..."

Suddenly, a familiar and faint voice came from the cabin.

Hearing Xianggong's voice, Li Xiaodao raised her feet with all her strength, and finally overcame the sticky mud under her feet. She came to the door of the wooden house and gently opened the door.

She saw Xianggong lying on the floor of the house, looking at her with a pale face and a weak smile.

Li Xiaodao rushed over and knelt beside Xianggong, "Xianggong, what's wrong with you? We made an appointment to meet at the intersection, why didn't you come?"

Xianggong didn't speak, but looked at her weakly, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Li Xiaodao's hands lightly rested on Xianggong's chest, but she touched something sticky. She raised her hands and saw that it was bright red blood!

"Sanggong! What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you!" She cried out.

Xianggong lying on the floor finally spoke, his voice was very soft and intermittent: "Lady... take the child... run... run as far as possible... in the future... take care..."

child?Where is the child?No kids here?
"My husband, there is no child, we have no children, you will not die, my husband! You wait here, I will go to the doctor!"

The husband's weak voice stopped her: "No need... madam... it's too late... madam... let me see you again..."

Li Xiaodao cried and shook his head, "Master, don't die! No! No—"

……

At the inn in the early morning of Yibai County, Li Xiaodao was struggling in his sleep, with a very painful expression on his face.

Suddenly, she sat up abruptly, her face was covered with tears, and she yelled "No—!"

After shouting, she found that the wooden house just now disappeared, and she was dry and not exposed to rain, on the ground... She glanced to the side, and found that the husband was not on the ground, but seemed to be woken up by herself, and he just sat up at this time.

She took a deep breath and came back to her senses.

It was a dream.

Scared to death... When she thought of the scene in her dream, her tears still couldn't stop streaming down her face.

"My lady? What's the matter with you, my lady?" Pei Zhiqi sat up straight, seeing her crying all the time, worried and didn't know what happened.

Li Xiaodao cried and said, "I dreamed...I dreamed that you were lying on the floor of a wooden house...with blood all over your body...and said you were going to die..."

The more he talked, the more sad he became, Li Xiaodao couldn't restrain himself, sobbing softly.

Pei Zhiqi hurriedly got out of bed and lit the oil lamp, and the room was brightened up immediately. He hurriedly took the cloth towel and went back to the couch, patted the lady's back with one hand, and wiped her tears with the other: "Look, lady, I'm here to take care of you." , I'm fine, don't be afraid, lady..."

While shedding tears, Li Xiaodao said, "Msanggong...or let's go back...we won't go to this provincial capital...I'm afraid...Sanggong, I'm afraid..."

Pei Zhiqi comforted softly: "My lady must have seen swords and swords during the day and was frightened to have such a dream. It's okay, it's okay... Don't you think I'm fine? And I'm not right now. Now that you are unarmed, you can resist one or two bad guys, don't be afraid, lady..."

After comforting for a long time, Li Xiaodao finally recovered from the energy in his dream, and gradually stopped crying.

She leaned against the head of the bed, pulled up the quilt, twitched the floor, took her husband's cloth towel, and wiped her tears.

Pei Zhiqi also sat back, talking to the lady distracted her, so don't keep thinking about things in her dreams.

"When I settle down in the provincial capital, I will practice sword every day, and I will never slack off. Even if I enter the academy, I will exercise every day. Don't worry, my lady."

Li Xiaodao hummed.

"When I finish the provincial examination, we will go back to Baima Village, and we will never stay in the provincial capital. Regardless of whether we fail the middle school exam, we will go back to Baima Village, okay?"

Li Xiaodao nodded and hummed again.

"The lady is smart, understanding, and sensible. She is much more mellow than me in dealing with people. I will learn from my lady in the future. If I enter the academy, I will live in harmony with everyone and do not cause trouble or hatred. Let my lady feel at ease, so my lady Don't worry anymore, everything will be fine."

Li Xiaodao twitched his nose and hummed.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door, and Liu Xin's voice came from outside: "Mr. Pei? Miss Li? What's the matter? I seem to hear Miss Li's voice?"

"Lady, lie down first, I'll open the door and explain to Brother Liu." Pei Zhiqi supported Li Xiaodao to lie down under the blanket, wiped off the newly appeared tear stains with a cloth towel, then got up and got out of bed, put on some clothes and opened the door .

"Brother Liu, I'm sorry to disturb you. The lady had a nightmare, so she yelled out, everything is fine here, nothing happened."

Seeing that Pei Zhiqi opened the door and confirmed that nothing happened, Liu Xin was relieved. He nodded, "It's fine. Then I'll go back and sleep. Miss Li has worked hard these two days. After tomorrow, I will arrive the day after tomorrow. Hold on a little longer."

Pei Zhiqi nodded, "Thank you Brother Liu for your concern, go back and continue to rest, I wish Brother Liu a good sleep."

After saying goodbye politely, Liu Xin went back to his room, Pei Zhiqi closed the door, left the lamp on without turning off the oil lamp.

After returning to the couch, he found that the lady was still waiting for him with her eyes open.

He took off the coat he was wearing, went back to the couch and lay down on his side, and said to the lady with his arms on his pillow: "The light will not be turned off tonight, it's still early, the lady can close her eyes and rest for a while, if she can fall asleep, she won't be able to fall asleep." It's okay, I can't sleep and I will chat with my wife."

Li Xiaodao finally regained her strength at this moment, and she said with some embarrassment: "It's my fault, it caused both you and Brother Liu to sleep badly. It's just a dream, and dreams are all reversed, all illusory , it will definitely not come true. I'm fine, Mr. Xianggong, you should go to bed early."

Pei Zhiqi smiled and shook his head: "My lady has this kind of dream because she is worried about me, what's wrong? Then let's cover the quilt together, close our eyes, and see who can fall asleep first?"

As soon as she talked about competing with Li Xiaodao, she got excited, she hurriedly covered herself with a quilt, and closed her eyes tightly: "Okay! If anyone sleeps late, tell an extra story in the carriage tomorrow!"

Pei Zhiqi smiled and said, "Okay, it's a deal."
