You are back

Chapter 22

"Go!" Zhou Wen yelled fiercely, Zhou Rui shivered, and rushed out of the cell door, covered his face, and stumbled out of the courtyard door.

Huang Shoulian came out after Zhou Rui, locked the courtyard door, and trotted in front of Chen Yanfeng.

The two guys left long ago, Chen Yanfeng put one hand on Li Yan's shoulder, pushed her gently, and followed Huang Shoulian all the way forward, Yushu let the distraught Zhou Rui walk in front, and he followed at the end, pushing her from time to time. With his hand, the group of four walked out of the small door. Huang Shoulian stood in the door, kept bowing to send Chen Yanfeng away, and re-locked the door, and the sound of tinkling keys gradually faded away.

After leaving the alley, Chen Yanfeng glanced at Zhou Rui and said, "It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Let's leave the city now." After a pause, Chen Yanfeng looked at Zhou Rui and said, "The execution will be carried out at noon tomorrow. Do you want to wait?"

Li Yan was stunned, Yushu turned his head away with a face full of unbearable, Zhou Rui's bloodless face turned white like snowflakes in an instant.

"Let's go, let's go now." Before Zhou Rui could answer, Li Yan suggested in a low voice.

"I..." Zhou Rui shook, stretched out his hand to support the wall next to him, half supported and half pushed on Yushu, "Our eldest lady is right, let's go quickly."

Zhou Rui didn't move, Chen Yanfeng looked at him slightly, "Your elder brother is right, it's not easy to live alone. You have to think about it. It's still too late to go back now, but it doesn't matter. In your current situation, it will be difficult to survive in the future." , it’s easy to wish for death.”

Zhou Rui's hand supporting the wall kept shaking, and for a moment, that hand pushed away forcefully, Zhou Rui looked directly at Chen Yanfeng, his body shook slightly, he opened his mouth, opened his mouth again, and managed to say two words, "Let's go. "

Chen Yanfeng hummed, turned around, pulled Li Yan's sleeve with one hand, and flicked the other sleeve back and forth, turning around in alleys, and soon left the city from the other side of Yichun City. Door.

From the car to the boat, then from the small boat to the big boat, and changed to the big boat the next evening, the four of them left the boundary of Yichun and continued to go up the river.

Leaving the border of Yichun without incident, Li Yan heaved a long sigh of relief, and looked at Chen Yanfeng with admiration.

To be able to act like this is simply to take away the prisoners who were executed by the imperial court in a grand manner, which is not something ordinary people can do.

In the past three or four days, whether in the car or on the boat, Zhou Rui had been huddled in a corner, barely eating or drinking, and almost not defecating. When the boat left Yichun, Zhou Rui was still in the same place as the previous few days. In the dark corner, sitting for a whole day is like clay sculpture and wood carving.

Li Yan paid attention to Zhou Rui all the time, but she didn't know how to persuade him. She also understood that there was nothing to persuade him.

As for Chen Yanfeng, after getting along with him for nearly a month, she knew at least one thing about him: Chen Yanfeng really only followed his own heart.

He said that Pei Qing had a deep mind, and there was nothing to guess, but Li Yan felt that compared to him, Pei Qing's mind was much easier to guess. A person like Pei Qing is nothing more than weighing the gains and losses. The law can be imagined.But Chen Yanfeng, a so-called cultivator, doesn't care about gains or losses, and he doesn't care if he loses face. The common things in the world are probably not in his heart. How can she guess the mind of such a person?Where to please?

Anyway, there was no other way, Li Yan simply gave up, as long as he was the rain from the sky, if he liked it, if he didn't like it, then he wouldn't.

The sun was setting, and the boat was moored in the calm river bay. After dinner, the boatmen carried water to wash the front and back of the boat, went down to rest, and the boat became quiet and cold.The rushing sound of the river hitting the side of the ship, and the howling of wild beasts from nowhere in the distance, spread to the ship more and more clearly.

Li Yan held a jar of wine and held two cups in his hands. Standing in front of the cabin, he stared at Zhou Rui who was huddled under the mast for a long time. He stepped heavily, walked up to Zhou Rui, and kicked him. "Take this over."

Zhou Rui slowly looked up at Li Yan, and stayed for a moment with the wine jar in Li Yan's arms, then stood up and took the wine jar.

"Sit here." Li Yan circled around the bow and found a place that was relatively sheltered from the wind. He sat down against the pile of cables and patted the side to signal Zhou Rui. Zhou Rui hesitated for a moment and hugged the wine jar. , sat down next to Li Yan.

Li Yan moved the wine jar from his arms, uncovered the seal, and signaled him: "You pour it, I'll spill it all over the place."

Zhou Rui picked up the wine jar and poured wine into two cups. Li Yan handed a cup to Zhou Rui, "It's too cold to drink tea, drink it warmer. You can drink with me. How old is this year?"

"Nineteen." Zhou Rui took a sip of his wine and answered two words.

"Oh." Li Yan took a sip and tasted it first, then raised his head and drank the wine. In the cold air from all directions, Li Yan was a little distracted, and for a moment, he let out a long sigh, "Call me sister, although I don't know if I am older than you."

Zhou Rui was startled and looked up at Li Yan. Li Yan shrank back coldly, wrapped himself tighter, stretched out his cup, gestured to Zhou Rui to pour the wine, and drank another gulp, seven or eight gulps in a row. Cup, then I felt the smell of wine coming up, and my body felt a little warm.

Li Yan stretched out the cup again, Zhou Rui hesitated, "A lot."

"I know, it's too cold. It's much better now. Pour me another glass." Li Yan answered, and Zhou Rui poured her another glass. This time, Li Yan bit the rim of the glass and sipped slowly. After sipping half the cup, he turned to look at Zhou Rui, "Why don't you ask me how old I am?"

"How old are you?" Zhou Rui asked with his arms resting on his bent knees, looking out of focus at the vast night.

"I don't know." Li Yan sighed.

Zhou Rui turned to look at her.

"I don't know how old I am, I don't know if my surname is Li, and I don't know my origin." Li Yan sighed, pushed Zhou Rui, and motioned him to pour wine, "There is a big camphor tree outside Yuzhang City. , there is a large piece of ruins where not a single blade of grass grows, have you heard of it?"

Zhou Rui nodded, "My second brother and I..." Zhou Rui's throat tightened when he mentioned his second brother, "I went to see him once."

"Well, Chen Yanfeng said that the reason why there is no grass growing in that place is that there are legends that monsters lived there and were struck to death by lightning. Because it was the place struck by lightning, there was no grass growing. Yushu said, that is our home, and I love it. It's like living there."

Zhou Rui was stunned, frowning and looking at Li Yan. Li Yan motioned for him to pour the wine again, biting the rim of the glass and sipping the wine slowly, "I always feel that I am that monster."

Zhou Rui burst out laughing. His smile just bloomed and then stopped abruptly.

　The update is scheduled to be released at 2 pm, but there is a time difference in the place where I am now, and I am a little unclear about the actual release time. Fortunately, it is only about two hours.
