Concubine

Chapter 72
Night, return to calm.

Yang Qiuchi heard Qin Zhihui sobbing softly.

Startled, he turned her face away, saw Qin Zhihui's face was full of tears, and quickly asked, "What's wrong? Zhihui, did I hurt you just now?"

Qin Zhihui shook her head lightly, and said in an almost inaudible voice: "If it was before..."

Yang Qiuchi didn't hear clearly: "Zhihui, what did you say?"

Qin Zhihui didn't answer, curled up in Yang Qiuchi's arms, sobbing softly.

Late at night.

Yang Qiuchi had a dream.

Qin Zhihui stood on the edge of a high cliff, looking down at the bottomless cliff, she was wearing a snow-white dress, and when the mountain wind blew, her belt fluttered and made a sound of hunting.

Yang Qiuchi didn't know why Qin Zhihui was standing in such a dangerous place, and yelled wildly, "Zhihui! Zhihui!" She tried her best to run up the cliff, but her whole body seemed to be in the water, and every step she took took a step forward. With great effort, Yang Qiuchi shouted anxiously: "Zhihui~! Zhihui~!"

Qin Zhihui turned her head and looked at him, smiling mischievously.

Suddenly, a colorful tiger appeared on the edge of the cliff, with several big holes in its head, bleeding blood. It was the one he killed by the stream. The tiger let out a roar and rushed towards Qin Zhihui .

Qin Zhihui's body floated away from the cliff like a kite with a broken string, and fell into the depths of darkness.

"Zhihui~!" Yang Qiuchi yelled heart-piercingly.

The fierce tiger was also roaring while standing on the cliff, but the sound was a bit like a dog barking, "Wow... woof..."

Yang Qiuchi was startled awake, opened his eyes, it turned out to be a nightmare.But the barking sound didn't stop, but it was the little black dog barking with its head up on the bedside.

Yang Qiuchi blinked and saw the cold moonlight shining into the room.Qin Zhihui was sitting on the bed, leaning over to look at herself, and asked tremblingly, "Husband, did you have a nightmare?"

Yang Qiuchi grabbed Qin Zhihui's hand and said, "I had a nightmare, it was so scary, I was afraid I would lose you~!"

Qin Zhihui said softly: "Husband, do you really... care about Zhihui?"

Yang Qiuchi supported Qin Zhihui's shoulders, and nodded heavily: "Yes! Promise me! Never leave me! Huh?"

Qin Zhihui nodded slightly, but did not answer.

at dawn.

Yang Qiuchi opened his eyes, Qin Zhihui was no longer by his side.

He sat up suspiciously and looked around. The little black dog was still lying on the edge of the bed, looking at him with a small head up. The room was empty.Yang Qiuchi shouted: "Zhihui! Zhihui!"

"Master, you're awake!" Yuechan lifted the door curtain and walked in.

"Where's your second young lady?"

"I went out early in the morning." Yuechan handed the clothes on the stool to Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi asked: "Where did she go? Why didn't you follow?"

"She said she would just walk around the gate of the county government office, and don't want me to follow."

"How long have you been there?"

Yuechan thought for a while: "It's been about half an hour."

Yang Qiuchi faintly felt that something was wrong. Qin Zhihui was newly married, so logically she would not leave her husband to go for a walk on the street alone, and she went out early in the morning. She didn't exercise early, so why did she go so early? The shops on the street were still open. The door opened, and it's been almost an hour.

Yang Qiuchi waved Yuechan to go out, then lifted the quilt and hurriedly got dressed.

At this time, the neatly folded dresses on the round table caught his attention, and when he took a closer look, it turned out to be Qin Zhihui's tiger skin winter coat, and his heart sank.

He hurried over and found a note on the dress, which said "My husband cherishes it, Hui".

ah!Yang Qiuchi felt that something was really wrong, did Qin Zhihui run away from home?

Judging from the note left here, he won't be coming back.

In the past two days, Qin Zhihui's abnormal behavior flashed in Yang Qiuchi's mind, her inexplicable poisoning, her inexplicable words, and Ruolan, that handkerchief with old bloodstains, sitting on the bed late at night and looking at herself, all this shows that , there is a mystery that I don't know yet, and it is a mystery that was almost fatal.

Qin Zhihui disappeared, and Yang Qiuchi's heart seemed to be hollowed out.

Although Qin Zhihui had only been here for two days, Yang Qiuchi found that his nostalgia for her was already very deep.

Now he only has one thought, to get Qin Zhihui back!
Yang Qiuchi shouted: "Xiao Hei, come here!" The little black dog ran to Yang Qiuchi's side, wagging its little tail.

Yang Qiuchi put Qin Zhihui's dress on the round table on the little black dog's nose, and the little black dog immediately understood what the master meant. It sniffed the dress carefully, then turned around the room a few times with its head down, walking all the way Sniffing and going out.

In the courtyard, Feng Xiaoxue asked Yang Qiuchi to have breakfast, Yang Qiuchi waved his hand, and then followed the little black dog out of the courtyard gate.

Feng Xiaoxue was a little used to her husband's mysterious behavior, so she didn't ask much.

The little black dog walked very fast, and soon left the city and walked towards the back mountain.
