Xie Tingzhou slept late last night and it was already bright when he woke up.

The sun is shining brightly today, and the snow is so white that it shines brightly.

Xie Tingzhou didn't see Shigure.

The old man was sitting under the eaves playing with Rhubarb. He threw a bamboo ball and Rhubarb picked it back up.

As soon as the old man saw Xie Tingzhou, he stood up with his legs and said with a smile: "There is still hot rice in the pot, I will bring it to you."

"No need to bother, just wait until lunch and eat together." Xie Tingzhou said.

The old man had already turned his back and walked towards the kitchen, while mumbling: "If you want it, you must eat well. When you were young..."

The old man suddenly stopped talking, realizing that he was nagging him as if he were his own child.

Xie Tingzhou looked more relaxed than yesterday. He was a slow-tempered person, "It's okay, just tell me."

The father-in-law said: "If you don't pay attention when you are young, you will suffer from illness when you get old."

Xie Tingzhou nodded. In fact, he had been suffering from pain for many years. The pain had almost become a part of his body and he had long been used to it.

He looked outside, "Where are the others?"

The father-in-law knew who he was asking and said, "You said Xiaoyu, he went out as soon as the sky cleared, saying he had something to do in the town."

"Oh, that's right," the old man slapped his head, "look at my memory, he told me to tell you, he will definitely come back before dark."

As the sun rose and set, the sun jumped over the mountains and the sky gradually darkened.

Shigure hasn't come back yet.

The father-in-law was worried and said he wanted to look for Shigure along the road. He was worried that Shigure would get lost and that something would happen to him alone on the road, so Xie Tingzhou persuaded him to go to bed.

The moon was high in the sky, and Dahuang pricked up his ears in the firewood pile. After listening for a while, he ran towards the door of the courtyard.

Xie Tingzhou heard the sound. He opened the door and saw a thin figure walking in the moonlight. The moon cast a small shadow under his feet.

Dahuang had already run over excitedly, wagging his tail, rubbing Shigure's legs and walking alongside him.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Shiyu asked Dahuang, "Are you waiting for me?"

Dahuang wagged his tail excitedly, and Sayazi circled around him.

A smile appeared on Xie Tingzhou's lips. It looked like what he said was true. Not only was he lovable, but even dogs liked him.

Unlike Xie Tingzhou, Dahuang would put his tail between his legs and dare not move every time he saw him. In some aspects, dogs are much more sensitive than people. He is indeed not a good person.

Shen Yu walked to the entrance of the courtyard and found someone standing under the eaves.

She asked in surprise: "Why didn't you sleep?"

"Why so late?" Xie Tingzhou asked, returning to the room and lighting the oil lamp.

"There are a lot of things, so I'm a little late," Shen Yu put the bundle on the table and spread it out.

In addition to wound medicine and herbs, there is also a set of clothes.

Shen Yu said: "The material of this dress is rough, so I can only make do with it first."

The graceful and luxurious look on Xie Tingzhou's body was too eye-catching. After all, he was in a village and there were many families who could easily be exposed.

Xie Tingzhou took it and accidentally touched his fingertips, and his tentacles were cold.

"Where did you get the money?"

Shen Yu was slightly proud, "I told you I had a way, but it wasn't stolen anyway."

Xie Tingzhou glanced at him and said, "My father-in-law left some rice in the pot for you."

Shen Yu was hungry, so she hurried to the kitchen, not forgetting to say, "Wait until I come back to give you medicine."

When Xie Tingzhou heard this, he put down the medicine he picked up.

When Shen Yu came in after eating, Xie Tingzhou was still sitting at the table.

She closed the door and walked over to give him medicine, first on his back and then on his arms.

There was no stove in the room, and a gust of wind came through the crack in the door.

Shen Yu looked at the goosebumps on Xie Tingzhou's arms and said hurriedly: "Soon, it will be fine soon."

Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes, saw his eyelashes moving slightly, and then looked away calmly.

The room was too quiet, so Shen Yu looked for a topic, "Do you think I ran away secretly when I came back so late? Or maybe I surrendered to the enemy and tipped them off?"

In fact, such thoughts did flash through Xie Tingzhou's mind just now.

But that's just a habit.

His position means that he cannot trust anyone easily, because too many people want his life, but for Shigure...

He thought for a moment and then looked down at Shigure's face. There seemed to be an inexplicable trace of trust, but his body's instinct was rejecting this trust.

Shen Yu didn't hear his answer. While applying the medicine, she explained to herself: "It was already afternoon when I arrived in the town. After shopping, I went to find out some news, so I came back so late."

"What news?" Xie Tingzhou asked.

Shen Yu said: "Some people who came back from Huaitang County said that the Huaitang County Magistrate is now looking for someone in a big way. I heard that the description should be that he is looking for His Highness. We can go to the county seat tomorrow and then the Huaitang County Magistrate will send someone." Escort to Beijing."

Xie Tingzhou was silent, thinking for a while, and then said: "I can't go."

"Why?" Shen Yu just finished bandaging and raised her head to ask.

Xie Tingzhou said: "The number of people who came to silence us this time is at least three hundred. Huaitang is not a big city. It is impossible for the county magistrate to not know about such a large number of people passing through the county."

Shen Yu was awakened by him, "So you suspect that Magistrate Huaitang is from the other party."

Xie Tingzhou looked down at his arm. It was no longer the rag strips he had torn off before. This time it was replaced by gauze, which was bandaged very well.

"The bandits are rampant in Huaitang County. The government has come out to encircle and suppress them several times, but they have not been completely wiped out. Why?"

He paused and continued: "Every time we carry out sieges, we arrest a few bandits symbolically, which cannot shake the foundation. The bandits and the county government share the spoils, and the county government turns a blind eye. Such people only have interests." Can push.”

Shen Yu nodded, "Then what should we do?"

Xie Tingzhou looked at the moonlight falling in from the window, pondered for a moment and said, "Let's set off after two days of rest, and take a detour to Pingtan."

Shen Yu thought for a while, "It takes a detour of hundreds of miles from Pingtan County. Now there is no means of transportation. Can your body bear it? Your wounds..."

When the dressing was changed just now, the wound looked scary. I really don’t know how he endured it.

"It's okay," Xie Tingzhou stood up and said, "Go to sleep."

Xie Tingzhou was already awake. Shen Yu still remembered that he was the prince of Beilin and did not dare to ask him if I could sleep with you when he was awake.

Naturally, Xie Tingzhou would not take the initiative to invite you to sleep with me, so Shen Yu spent the whole night lying on the table.

During the day, Xie Tingzhou had a few words with his father-in-law, who found a wooden board to make the bed wider.

Shen Yu understood as soon as she saw the bed, "Should I sleep with you tonight?"

Xie Tingzhou stopped taking off his clothes, turned his head and said, "If you want to continue sleeping on the table, you can."

Shen Yu had been tired for a day, so of course she wouldn't have trouble with herself, so she slipped out to wash up.

When she walked in, Xie Tingzhou was already lying on the outside of the bed.

There was still a lot of space inside, but the problem was that if she wanted to get into bed, she had to step over Xie Tingzhou.

Shen Yu hesitated for a moment and blew out the oil lamp.

The light suddenly dimmed, and she had not yet adapted to the darkness in front of her, so she could only lightly touch the bed.

Guessing that she should be at the edge of the bed, she stretched out her hands, trying to get over Xie Tingzhou and support herself on the bed board.

As soon as she put her hand down, she thought to herself: It's over!

Sure enough, the next moment, Xie Tingzhou groaned and asked coldly: "What are you doing?!"

Then Shen Yu's hand was pulled away by him.
