At night, they stayed at a farmer's house and lied that they were going to the north to join their families. When they got lost, they turned to the woods.
The farmer thought they were husband and wife, so he only prepared a room for them. The night in the mountains was very cold. Xie Jingyu still kept his promise and slept on the ground with his clothes, just like a gentleman.
In the morning of the next day, the morning light penetrated through the mountain fog and lit up the small farmhouse. The thin light penetrated through the window. Looking hazy, Xie Jingyu stretched himself and sat up quietly.
The light is still dim, and Miaoman's figure can be seen in the account. He rubs his eyes, and suddenly feels that something is wrong. This morning is too quiet.
They used to spend the night in the farmer's house. People in the mountains get up early and work when they get up, chopping firewood, burning fire, bailing water, the sound of boiling water, the sound of steaming steamed bread in the pot, the sound of coughing, talking, and even the sound of birds. This morning, there is no sound at all.
It was so quiet outside that people were worried. He stood on tiptoe and quietly looked at the window. He couldn't really see anything in the narrow gap. He only saw a flash of cold light, and his heart sank, knowing that things were not good.
He turned to look at the bed, and Shi Yingying was still sleeping. In fact, he couldn't guess her. Along the way, she didn't resist. She gave her food, she ate it, let her sleep, and she slept. But she didn't say much. She didn't satirize him, scold him, and didn't mention Du Changfeng, and didn't mention going back, just like she was willing to go with him. But he knew that before the fire, she didn't really depend on him.
He sat there with his head down, his face buried in his palm, sitting in that posture all the time, like a statue.
It was about when the sun came out that the light in the room suddenly brightened. He was stiff. He looked up and saw Shi Yingying turn over.
He crept to the bed and asked softly, "Yingying, are you awake?"
Shi Yingying, with a hum, sat up in the account and asked for her clothes.
Xie Jingyu stood outside the account, rubbing his hands, a little hesitant.
Shi Yingying finally realized that it was wrong and asked him, "what's the matter?"
"Someone's out there."
"Who?"
"I don't know," he said, hesitating for a moment. "Maybe it's officers and soldiers."
Shi Yingying didn't speak. She just put on her clothes in silence. After a while, she picked out the bill and said, "what are you going to do?"
Xie Jingyu told the truth, "I don't know," he pondered for a moment, then raised his head, "go, I'll take you out."
Shi Yingying was very surprised. She didn't expect that he would send her out like this. When she heard that the officers and soldiers were outside, her heart was already in a mess, but her face was still calm.
"Are you really willing to let me go?"
"Remember what I said yesterday?" Xie Jingyu asked her, "I said, for you, I can put my life out."
Shi Yingying was a little stunned. She opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say?
Looking at her standing still, Xie Jingyu smiles. He goes ahead and opens the door of the wing room. The door of the main room is open. Standing in the dark behind the door, he sees the golden sunlight casting a large spot on the ground. There is a faint light flashing. He knows that it's the reflection of the soldiers' silver armor and the sword in their hands. Needless to say, it must be encircling here He can't get away with it. Don't rush in, just because Shi Yingying is with him.
He walked into the sun with his head held high and hid for such a long time. For the first time, he felt that his breathing was very smooth.
The terrace in front of the house was full of soldiers in armor, holding spears or swords, standing silently and solemnly, as if waiting for a major ceremony to start.
One of them was tall and burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His eyes and cheeks were sunken, and his chin was covered with stubble. He looked haggard, but his expression was resolute. He stood like a God among the soldiers. When he saw Shi Yingying, there was water in his eyes.
Xie Jingyu looked back at Shi Yingying, "general Du has come to pick you up. Go back with him."
Shi Yingying didn't speak. She walked forward and passed him. Suddenly, a strong force pulled her back. One arm was around her waist, the other arm was across her neck, and the dagger on her hand was close to her soft skin.
"Xie Jingyu!" Du Changfeng said, "don't mess around. Let her go. Don't you know how to repent when you are dying?"
Xie Jingyu said with a smile, "Du Changfeng, let her go, I will really die." Then he explained to Shi Yingying in a low voice, "don't blame me. I can't help it. I don't want to die. Yingying, I really like you. I can give up anything for you, but there is only one life. No one wants to die. If I die, there will be nothing
Shi Yingying doesn't panic. She knows that this is the real Xie Jingyu. He just said that for her, he could give up his life, but now he put the knife on her neck. He didn't really like her, he only loved himself. These days, Xie Jingyu is trying to play a gentle, considerate and reformed man. He wants to get her favor, move her and make her love him. He plays very vividly, maybe even he believes it. But she always knows that it's not the real Xie Jingyu, just a proud Xie Jingyu who wants to make her give in.He never changed. He was still the little man who used to be good at disguise.
She said, "Xie Jingyu, do you really want to kill me?"
"I can't bear to kill you, but if I can't get out, I can only take you with me," Xie Jingyu said. "I've never been as devoted to any woman as you. I can't get what I can't get. No one can think of it. But Yingying, you shouldn't cheat me. I'm so kind to you. Why are you still so unfeeling? If I ask you to go, will you really go? What shall I do when you are gone? "
Shi Yingying is a little strange, "when did I cheat you?"
"These days, you have always been very obedient, quiet and obedient. I thought you would have some affection, but it's all fake..."
"I've never cheated you," Shi Yingying looked at Du Changfeng. "I'm obedient, just to live longer and wait for my husband to save me."
Xie Jingyu is stunned. Along the way, he has been speculating about Shi Yingying's intention. She looks so clear and cloudless that he can't understand her. He thinks she wants to confuse him, and then he takes the opportunity to escape. Or, she has a little affection for him, so he doesn't resist. But originally, she just wanted to save her life.
"Do you think Du Changfeng will come to save you?"
"Of course." Shi Yingying's expression is full of firmness, "on the poor blue, down the yellow spring, he will."
Du Changfeng did not speak, just quietly looking at Shi Yingying, the couple's expression is the same firm.
"Unfortunately," Xie Jingyu said suddenly, "it's useless to find it. I won't let you be together. Du Changfeng, let me go, or I'll kill her! "
Du Changfeng seems to be hesitating. He hears Shi Yingying shout, "Du Changfeng, have you forgotten your arrow?"
He looked shocked, but no longer hesitated, took off the bow, pulled the arrow string, aimed at Xie Jingyu.
