Killer Pretty Queen

Xiao Li and Huangfu Yunlan walked back and forth, Xiao Li walked a bit slowly because of the child, and Huangfu Yunlan took good care of her along the way.

After Xiao Li and Huangfu Yunlan walked for a long time, the sky gradually began to darken, and night began to fall.

"I'm afraid it's going to rain this day, we have to hurry up." Huangfu Yunlan looked at the darkening sky and said to Xiao Li, and he quickened his pace.

After Huangfu Yunlan walked a few steps, he found that Xiao Li and the others had fallen far behind, so he hurriedly turned back.

The originally gloomy sky became even more depressing and terrifying as night fell. Huangfu Yunlan looked at the weather, then at Xiao Li, couldn't help frowning, looked at them with a little worry, and said nothing. He hugged the child in the servant girl's hand, and said to Xiao Li and the servant girl, "I'll hold the child, the most important thing is to go as soon as possible."

The maid, Qin Jian, was holding the child, but she was exhausted after a day's journey, let alone speeding up her pace. After the child was carried by Huangfu Yunlan, she finally relaxed a little.

Although Xiao Li also knew that if she didn't walk faster, it might rain this day, but her physical exhaustion made her feel powerless. Seeing Huangfu Yunlan walking in front, now turning back to wait for them, she even hugged her After giving birth to the child, she was very grateful in her heart, slightly smiled at Huangfu Yunlan, and said "Thank you."

Xiao Li knew that it was not at this time to say unnecessary words, the most important thing now was to find a place where he could spend the night.

The three of them stepped up their pace and continued on their way, before they walked not far away, it started to rain after holding back for a day, the rain was not heavy at first, but it soon turned into bean-sized raindrops and began to hit the ground. on them.

Huangfu Yunlan looked down at the child in his hand. In order to prevent the child from being caught in the rain, he tore off the cloak on his body and covered it thoughtfully on the child. He turned around and told Xiao Li, "Let's find a place to hide from the rain as soon as possible. Well, otherwise, if you wet your clothes, you will easily catch the wind and cold."

"En." Xiao Li was already drenched by the rain, with a few strands of hair sticking to her face, looking a little embarrassed, she nodded to Huangfu Yunlan.

The path they walked on did not lead to any villages or shops, and there were no farmhouses or tea shops nearby. There were woods next to the path, which looked eerie and terrifying on a rainy night.

The three people on the way were silent all the way, only the sound of wind and rain could be heard along the way, the road became muddy and difficult to walk due to the washing of the rain, Huangfu Yunlan was fine, Xiao Li and the servant girl Qinjian had a bit of a hard time walking, and beat a few staggering, but luckily supported each other so as not to fall into the mud.

After about a cup of tea, I finally saw a dilapidated temple not far away.

Huangfu Yunlan protected the child in his hand with one hand, wiped the rainwater from his face with the other hand, turned his head and said to the two people behind him: "I think we can only spend the night in the ruined temple in front tonight."

Xiao Li nodded, the rain is so heavy, now she just wants to have a place to hide from the rain, it is not a time of picking and choosing, the rain beats her so hard that she can barely keep her eyes open, she just wants to find a place quickly The eaves shelter from the rain, regardless of whether it is a ruined temple or a ruined house.

The three finally arrived at the ruined temple. Although it was ruined, they could hide from the rain anyway, Xiao Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Li and the servant girl wanted to find some dry wood to start a fire, but their clothes were already wet.

Huangfu Yunlan took off the cloak that was put on the child. Although Huangfu Yunlan had always been careful to protect the child, the rain was so heavy that it was inevitable that the child would also be exposed to the rain.

The child fell asleep on the road just now and didn't make a sound, but now that Huangfu Yunlan took off the cloak, he was awakened and started crying.

Xiao Li found a fire book in the baggage and came out to start a fire. When she heard the child crying, she hurriedly hugged and coaxed him, patted the child gently, and comforted him softly: "Be good, baby, don't cry."

But how could the child understand her words, instead he cried even louder.

"What can I do? Qin Jian, please help me! Is he hungry or cold?" Seeing the child crying so much, Xiao Li became a little nervous. It is just right for the child to have a fever. Sick, how can such a young child stand such a toss, Xiao Li frowned.

"Miss, don't worry, I'll start the fire right away." Qin Jian said and started to light the fire.

Huangfu Yunlan saw that Xiao Li didn't care about herself for the sake of the child, "Xiaoran, your clothes are still wet, be careful of catching a cold, child, I just used a cloak to protect him from the rain, it shouldn't rain much, you Be careful to freeze yourself."

"I'm fine." Xiao Li was only concerned about the nervousness of the child, and had no time to care about herself. Her fair face was already a little pale due to the rain, but she didn't realize it at all.

Huangfu Yunlan saw it in his eyes, and felt a little distressed in his heart.

At this time, Qin Jian had already lit the fire, "Miss, come here and warm up for a while, maybe the child will stop crying after drying the wet clothes."

Xiao Li walked to the fire with the child in her arms, but her hands were still lightly holding the child and she comforted the child softly.

I don't know if it was because Xiao Li's whispering made the child quiet, or the warmth of the bonfire made the child quiet. In short, after a while, the child finally stopped crying, gradually calmed down and fell into a dream again. Under the reflection of the bonfire, her tender little face was flushed red and exuded a soft light.

Xiao Li vacated a place, spread some dry straw on the ground, then gently put the sleeping child on the ground, and covered the child with a blanket that he brought with him.

Seeing the sleeping child, Xiao Li felt relieved a little, only then did she realize that her clothes were not completely dry, and it was extremely uncomfortable to be half-dry and half-wet stuck to her body, so she hurriedly approached the fire.

Huangfu Yunlan had already dried the cloak just now, and he handed the cloak to Xiao Li: "Take off the wet clothes and dry them faster, this cloak is already dry, you can put it on first, I'll go outside I'll come in after your clothes are dry."

Xiao Li suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and it was rather cold outside and she felt sorry for Huangfu Yunlan going outside alone, so she quickly declined: "Thank you, no need, it's too troublesome."

"Take it, be obedient!" Huangfu Yunlan stuffed the cloak into her hands, her tone not allowing her to refute.

Huangfu Yunlan turned around and walked out, closing the dilapidated temple door.

"Miss, this Mr. Yun is quite careful. Miss, let me help you take off your wet clothes, or you will catch a cold." The servant girl Qin Jian said from the side.

Xiao Li really felt that the wet clothes on her body were uncomfortable. Since Huangfu Yunlan had already gone out, she didn't need to squirm. It was better to dry the clothes, but she said to Qin Jian: "You still have to help me block."

"Okay, I'll block it for you, but miss, don't worry about an honest gentleman like Mr. Huangfu, he won't peek!" Qin Jian and Xiao Li joked.

"Qinjian! What are you talking about!"

"Okay, Miss, I was wrong." Qin Jian muttered, obediently shielding Xiao Li.

After putting on the dried clothes, Xiao Li went to open the door, "Young Master Yun, you can come in."

Huangfu Yunlan glanced at her, Xiao Li had combed the hair that was scattered just now, and she looked gentle and graceful.

Xiao Li caught Huangfu Yunlan's eyes unintentionally, and was startled in her heart, the enthusiastic eyes looked so much like someone, she was in a trance for a moment.

Huangfu Yunlan coughed lightly.

Xiao Li came back to his senses, "Young Master Yun, hurry up and warm up by the fire, it's windy outside."

The two sat down around the campfire.

Huangfu Yunlan looked at the sleeping child, thought for a while and said, "Xiaoran, I think it's not convenient for you to take the child on the road after all."

"Then what can I do, I will not abandon this child." Xiao Li's tone was very firm.

"Xiaoran, that's not what I mean. What I mean is that a child is too young to travel long distances. Taking him with you will put him in danger. Think about how he got sick and got caught in the rain along the way. Let's take him like this. Going on the road is not for his benefit, it might be for his harm." Huangfu Yunlan analyzed the pros and cons for her.

Xiao Li felt that Yun Lan's words were right, but she didn't know what to do. It would be impossible to ask her to abandon the child, and she didn't want anyone to hurt the child, but she was also afraid that she would hurt the child instead. For a moment, Xiao Li felt helpless.

Huangfu Yunlan's words made Xiao Li fall into silence.

Seeing that Xiao Li stopped talking, Huangfu Yunlan knew that what he said just now had been heard by her, so he continued: "I have a way to keep the child from being hurt by others."

"What way?" Xiao Li regained her spirits all of a sudden, it would be great if the man in front of her could solve her problem.

"Actually, it's not difficult, that is, I'll send someone to send the child to a safe place, so that we can find your brother in peace, and don't worry about the child." Huangfu Yunlan gave the answer that he had been brewing in his heart for a long time. To be honest, he saw Xiao Li suffer a lot for this child along the way, and he felt sorry for her.

"Send it to a safe place..." Xiao Li muttered to herself. She also thought about sending her child to a safe place, so she wanted to go to her brother, because she didn't know where the child was safe. Listen now Yun Lan said so, does he have a safer place?

Xiao Li began to hesitate, should he give the child to Yun Lan?

"Xiaoran, you and the child have endured a lot of hardships along the way. I can see that you care about this child, but I hope you will consider the child. He is still too young. If you bump all the way to your brother at the border, maybe What problems will you encounter along the way?" Huangfu Yunlan continued to enlighten her.

Xiao Li hesitated for a long time, she thought, Yun Lan should be a trustworthy person for Yun Lan's help to her along the way, instead of letting the child go bumpy and suffer all the way with her, it is better to let Yun Lan send the child to a safe place The place.

"Well, then I will hand over the child to you, Yunlan thank you." Xiao Li finally figured it out and agreed to Huangfu Yunlan's suggestion.

Huangfu Yunlan was originally afraid that Xiao Li did not trust him enough, but he did not expect that Xiao Li still trusted him. He would never let down Xiao Li's trust in her, so he swore to Xiao Li even more firmly: "Xiao Ran, don't worry , I swear by my personality, I will stay with you until you find your elder brother, and when you return from the border, I will return the child to you safely, and I will ensure the safety of the child."

Seeing Huangfu Yunlan's swearing appearance, Xiao Li smiled.

Huangfu Yunlan's work efficiency is still very high. When Xiao Li woke up the next morning, he saw a strange man standing at the gate of the temple. Bowing: "Young master, what are your orders? The villain came here overnight after receiving the signal last night."

Huangfu Yunlan waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to be too polite, then turned to Xiao Li and said, "Xiaoran, you can leave the child to him, and he will take the child to a safe place."
