Chapter 69 Promise
Chapter 69 Promise
The Overwatch Council can directly arrest officials ordered by the imperial court, which is feared and resisted by all officials, so some "accidents" are prone to occur. After an assassination, Qi Yu is ready to deal with "accidents" at any time.
Knife, flint, rope... these series of small objects, there is no harm in carrying them with you.
It was the time when the rain was blowing and the wind was blowing, and the bean-sized raindrops hit his body with heavy force due to the density. Qi Yu found a few palm trees in the rain, and cut off a bunch of palm skins with a knife, which was almost enough. Then slowly walked back to the grotto.
Zhou Shuhe curled up on his coat, covered with his own clothes, looking as if he had fallen asleep.
He didn't want to wake her up, so he walked cautiously to the fire and sat on the ground, he stuffed a few pieces of dry wood into it, and in the light of the orange fire, he was a little clumsy, trying to make a coir raincoat.
Calling it a coir raincoat is a little bit reluctant. After all, the tools are limited, and Qi Yu really doesn't have the skills. He just read some miscellaneous books in his spare time. Fortunately, he has the talent of photographic memory. After a long time of tinkering, he finally managed to finish this coir rain cloak.
Almost at the same time that he was done, Zhou Shuhe immediately put on his coat and sat up from the ground, his eyes looked a little pitiful because of his eagerness: "Qi Yu, I'm awake, can we start?"
So Qi Yu understood that she hadn't fallen asleep just now.
He sighed in the bottom of his heart, but didn't say anything more, he only responded with a gentle "yes", put a few wild fruits for hunger into his bosom, took a long branch half the thickness of an arm as a walking stick, and gave Zhou Shuhe put on his coir raincoat, and then his own coat.
During this process, Zhou Shuhe has been very well-behaved, quietly, and only followed him with those wet eyes. Qi Yu was a little sullen at first, but he couldn't get angry seeing her like this. He shook his head and laughed, bent over and squatted down. in front of her.
"Come on, I'll carry you on my back."
Zhou Shuhe paused, her gaze brushed over his shoulder, even though it was covered by the cloth, she could vaguely see a slightly raised swelling, she took a deep breath, and slowly lay down on her stomach.
Qi Yu let out an imperceptible muffled groan from his throat, and Zhou Shuhe immediately tensed his body, trying to make his wound take less force.
The two of them were too close, and all movements were clearly seen. Qi Yu smiled, and the vibration of the chest was transmitted to her heart along the bonded flesh.
"Xiaohe, hold on tighter, there are some potholes in the forest, I'm going to use a wooden stick to explore the way, you have to hug me yourself, don't fall down."
Zhou Shuhe let out a muffled "Oh" and had no choice but to let go of his strength and lean all his weight on his back.
Qi Yu paused briefly, and after getting used to the long pain from the bump, he stepped into the rain.
It was about Yin time, dark clouds and heavy rain covered the sky, and there were no shadows of the stars and the moon. He was leaning on a stick with one hand, with a small Si Nanpei hooked between his neck to find the direction, and the other hand wrapped his arms around the waist of the person on his back. Buttocks, try to keep her steady.
The coir raincoat was tied to Zhou Shuhe's body, covering her from head to tail. The coir raincoat was wide enough to cover the two of them, but the rain was too heavy, and Qi Yu's front was soaked quickly, and his suede boots stepped on the mud. Here, the original color can no longer be seen.
The sound of rain falling on trees, mud, coir raincoats, and soaked clothing is in my ears, crisp, dull, urgent, and gentle, and the sound of rain is chaotic and harmonious.Zhou Shuhe lay on Qi Yu's shoulder, discarded all distracting thoughts, and quietly listened to his slowly becoming heavy breathing.
He is a literati and an eunuch. He was exiled to the bitter cold place in the north of Zhenbei within a hundred days after being hit by the knife when he was young. He ate seriously, his complexion was rosy by her, and his bones were covered with thin meat, but compared to others, he was still physically weaker after all.
Zhou Shuhe thought about what happened before and after waking up, and thought that Qi Yu was going to rescue herself from the river, take her unconscious to find a grotto, find firewood to make a fire, dry branches to make clothes hangers, and fruits to feed her hunger. I went to find a palm tree and made this coir raincoat.
He doesn't seem to be resting all the time.
She had a lot of things she shouldn't, for example, she shouldn't have thought of guarding against him before falling off the cliff, she shouldn't be stubborn to go back immediately after waking up, and she shouldn't use Qi Yu's feelings for her to coerce him after being rejected.
But she should comfort her Sui Sui.
This one should have outweighed the thousands of shouldn'ts to Qi Yu.
Zhou Shuhe suddenly felt that it was difficult to breathe, she couldn't help tightening her arms, and hugged him closer.
"What's wrong?" Qi Yu asked slightly panting.
Zhou Shuhe shook his head, rubbed his head against his shoulder, and called his name.
"Yeah." Qi Yu paused for a moment, his voice was as soft as a spring breeze, "It's okay, don't worry."
Zhou Shuhe didn't know if he was telling her not to worry about anything, don't worry about Sui Sui, he will be fine; or don't worry about me, I'm fine.But in fact, even she herself didn't know what she was worried about.
She only felt that the tip of her heart tightened, as if something densely gnawed at her heart. It didn't hurt, but it was actually being swallowed up. The empty chest was so empty that she couldn't help trembling, as if she could only hold the name in her heart. Only when it is on the tip of the tongue can it feel a little better.
"Qi Yu, Qi Yu."
The heavy rain was about to stop, and she kept calling him repeatedly, waiting for someone to answer but not speaking, calling again and answering again later, after doing this several times, Qi Yu suddenly let out a soft sigh.
"Or, let me sing you a song."
Zhou Shuhe was astonished, and said in amazement: "You can sing?"
Qi Yu has been very strong since he was a child. Whenever he is questioned by others, although he can pretend to be humble on the surface and accept reasonable criticism gently and politely, he is ruthless in private and redoubles his efforts to study. Express it freely, talking about giving and giving, but in my heart I am happy.
Poems and songs are the six skills of a gentleman. Later, he followed Zhou Shuhe to climb trees, touch fish, swim in the water and watch theatre.
So her subconscious questioning tone made Qi Yu a little embarrassed. What was originally a casual suggestion turned into a talent show that had to be proved by herself.
"Know a thing or two." He cleared his throat and said seriously.
However, the song was never sung.
In the deep mountains, there are only winding trails stepped by the feet of the predecessors. It was the time of the leak, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the moon half-obscured to guide the way forward. Qi Yu kept exploring the road carefully with that wooden stick. Something But in the end it is hard to guard against.
It was a tiger-tooth trap that hunters hid under the fallen leaves in the mountains and used to catch animals.
Tiger tooth clips are generally used to hunt large livestock such as wild boar and elk. There is a circle of large and sharp sawtooth inside. After the pedal underneath feels the gravity, the iron teeth on both sides tighten instantly, and the force is so strong that it can shatter ankle bones.
Qi Yu felt something was wrong as soon as he stepped on it, but the machine was activated much faster than a human's reaction, his calf was bound, and his forward momentum stopped abruptly, his head was hit by the sudden burst of pain, and he couldn't stop falling forward.
There was a downhill ahead, and he only had time to turn around to protect Zhou Shuhe in his arms before rolling down the rugged mountain road.
Until it hit a big tree in the middle of the ramp.
With a huge impact on his back, Qi Yu's throat was sweet, and he vomited a mouthful of blood, his eyes turned black, and even his consciousness was in a trance for a moment.
When he woke up from the brief coma, Zhou Shuhe was kneeling in front of him in a very awkward posture, slowly retracting his hands into his sleeves, showing an unusual calmness.
"You're still alive." She said slowly.
Qi Yuwen was stunned for a while before realizing that she was sniffing at him just now.
Zhou Shuhe lowered his eyes, with the calm to indifferent expression on his face, without even the slightest fluctuation in his eyes, and said lightly: "I thought I was going to kill you again."
The evening wind blew across her face, and her long, disheveled hair moved with the wind, but her eyes seemed to be filled with a pool of stagnant water without ripples.A sharp needle-like pain ripped through Qi Yu's heart. He didn't have time to think about what "again" meant, so he hurriedly grabbed Zhou Shuhe's shoulders and hugged him.
"It's okay Xiaohe, I'm okay, don't be afraid."
Zhou Shuhe nodded silently, put his chin in the socket of his shoulder, and slowly rubbed against him like a cat.
"But you vomited blood just now."
"It's congestion, it's much more comfortable to spit it out."
"You still fainted."
"Just for a while, my brain just fell into a daze."
"You never rested..."
"It's okay, I sleep very lightly, and I used to stay up all night, so today's is nothing."
Seeing Zhou Shuhe buried on his shoulder and not speaking, Qi Yu raised his hand, patted her vest lightly, and said with a warm smile, "Xiaohe, don't blame yourself, I'm fine, you didn't do anything wrong. I I remember you said before that you can use some extraordinary means to survive, but you can’t use children as a tool for self-protection. You see, you did it, you are a great mother and a very powerful girl.”
"Yesterday when I sent Yue ran to say that you were going to hunt down the thief who took His Royal Highness away, I just received a secret report from the capital that I knew about Chu Huaizhang's escape. I followed the trail and found that he has been following our team. After comparison, I found that he was the one who kidnapped His Royal Highness."
"I was really worried at the time. You, a weak woman, tried to protect a child from an adult man with martial arts. How could this be possible? I was afraid that you would be impulsive and die instead of saving a man, but you just defeated He, Chu Huaizhang is dead, but you are still alive, you are really powerful, I can't even do such a thing."
Zhou Shuhe curled his lips and interrupted him: "Nonsense, you can clearly do it. If it were you, you would definitely be able to do it better than me."
Qi Yu laughed: "Do you trust me so much? Uh--that's right, I heard from your elder brother before that the fifth sister always thinks that people who can write articles and are proficient in arithmetic are very remarkable. To be honest, Xiao He, do you admire me a lot? ?”
Zhou Shuhe snorted, opened his mouth and bit the side of his neck threateningly, picked up a small piece of skin and rubbed it, which made Qi Yu stiff, and he begged for mercy repeatedly before he would give up.
"Don't be so stinky, it's because you pretend to be humble, I hate it, I just want to expose you, you are obviously amazing, you can do anything, you can do it better than anyone else, but you will do it for me..."
But he will lose his life for me.
Zhou Shuhe held back the choking in his throat, sat up from his arms, clasped the shoulders of the person in front of him tightly with both hands, and said solemnly: "Qi Yu, if I or Sui Sui make a request to you that will hurt you in the future, don't worry about it." The previous promise is made, you can refuse."
"You will live a long life for me, this is a new promise."
