Chapter 33

"The bloodstains disappeared here, carefully look around to see if there is a place to hide."

"Yes."

Qi Su had just been slightly injured by Jian Moyan's machine spring, and Wen Yan and Liu Zhongyi had already disappeared when he led the chase down the narrow and long steep slope. When he looked around carefully, he found intermittent bloodstains from top to bottom. But then disappeared.

Below the steep slope is a path full of large and small rocks, shrubs and vines criss-crossing, and rocks of various shapes on both sides, there seems to be no hiding place.

Qi Su frowned slightly, covered the rock next to the last bloodstain with his hand, pushed with a little force, the rock seemed to have been there for a long time, and had no intention of moving.

Qi Su withdrew his strength, and looked around again. After a while, several subordinates also came back to report, but he didn't find any hiding place.

Qi Su frowned, and said: "Divide into two paths, follow this path to chase."

"Yes."

Everyone took orders and went, Qi Su listened attentively to the movements around, and Fang also went to look elsewhere.

In fact, Wen Yan and Liu Zhongyi did not go far. After falling down from the steep slope, they accidentally found a narrow stone cave.

Wen Yan said that there are many caves near Wangran Mountain, which cannot be seen from the outside, but there are actually caves inside.

Liu Zhongyi found a small stone and threw it into the cave, only to hear a faint echo inside, obviously the place is not small, so he let Wen Yan go in first, then found a stone about the size of the cave entrance, moved it to the side of the cave, and put the stone where it was originally. He covered up the traces of the place, cut his arm and got some messy bloodstains, and then he entered the cave himself, and carefully moved the rock inch by inch to block the entrance, and then blocked the gaps with soil from the inside. Stay inside by yourself.

He could hear the voices outside with bated breath just now, and he also knew that Qi Su suspected that he had reached a nearby stone cave, but fortunately, the man's gaze was confused by those intentionally made bloodstains, so he didn't find the right place.

After the person left, Liu Zhongyi moved his body a little, and moved in from the narrow entrance. After a while, he felt that the cave was much wider, but the cave was very dark, with little light, so it was impossible to see.

There was some humidity on the stone wall, and the air seemed to be filled with water vapor. Liu Zhongyi raised his hand to test it, and walked forward cautiously, and touched the warm body of the man in a short while.

"The owner..."

Wen Yan was much more traumatized than him, and when he fell down the steep slope just now, he bumped and bumped a lot, and he was not sure where the man was injured, so he didn't dare to exert any force on his hands.

Wen Yan covered his hand and said in a low voice: "Are they gone?"

"En." Liu Zhongyi responded, and felt that he was handing something into his hand, groping for a while, and it turned out to be a fire fold, so he uncovered it and slowly ignited it.

When the light of Huo Zhe gradually brightened, Liu Zhongyi realized that his face was very pale, and there was no blood on his lips, so he quickly put Huo Zhe aside, wanting to use the dim light to see his wound.

Wen Yan was originally sitting against the rock wall, but now he bent his right leg, raised his hand to the crook of his leg, and with a little force, pulled out a poisoned hidden weapon.

Liu Zhongyi bit his lower lip, took the blood-stained hidden weapon, looked at it, and said, "I have an antidote for this poison."

There was a slight tremor in his voice, and he lowered his head to look for an antidote almost in a panic, Wen Yan smiled soothingly, and replied, "Yes."

Liu Zhongyi dug out a small porcelain bottle, poured out pills for him to eat, then tore some of his blood-stained clothes, and bent down to examine the wound.

Wen Yan gently pulled him back, shook his head, and said, "It's okay."

Liu Zhongyi turned his head slightly and ignored him, and looked around with the bright light, only to focus on his injuries just now, only then did he realize that there is indeed a cave in this cave, like a huge naturally formed cave, and further inside it is open, full of strange things The stalactites look full of natural charm under low light.

What's even more amazing is that there are shallow rivers in it, and there are almost no surging ripples, but the clear water certainly doesn't look like stagnant water.

Liu Zhongyi walked to the water's edge, tore off a piece of clothing, washed it, and returned to Wen Yan's side to help him clean the wound.After wiping off the blood, he poured out a pill from the porcelain bottle just now, crushed it, and rubbed it on the wound.

Wen Yan found out the hemostatic medicine and handed it to him, and he took it cooperatively and applied it a little.

After treating the wound, Liu Zhongyi looked at the blood on his body and said, "Take off your clothes."

Wen Yan was stunned for a moment, understood what he meant, chuckled lowly, and said, "The rest of the wounds on my body are fine. Since you have suffered internal injuries, you should adjust your breathing properly."

Liu Zhongyi frowned slightly, but didn't say anything else, she raised her hand and loosened the belt on his body, helped him up a little, and went to take off the blood-stained clothes.

Wen Yan is actually because the poison was too domineering just now, and half of his body was a little numb due to the poison. Although he took the antidote, it might take a while before he fully regained consciousness, so now he can only sigh, let him fiddling.

Liu Zhongyi took off his shirt, only to see that the jade-like flawless skin was stained with bright blood, and because of the fall from the steep slope, there were bruises on the shoulders and back.

Wen Yan had suffered several sword wounds just now to save him. The deepest wound was on the back, a long and narrow gash, the blood still hadn't stopped, it looked a bit shocking.

Liu Zhongyi bit the corner of his lips, and helped him clean the wound as before, and applied the wound medicine. When the wound on the back was treated, although his hands were steady, his breathing seemed to be a little disordered.

Wen Yan knew what was on his mind, so he comforted him: "This injury doesn't hurt, it will be healed in a few days."

Liu Zhongyi returned the medicine bottle to him, and said calmly, "The poison in you has a paralyzing effect, so naturally it doesn't hurt now."

Wen Yan took the medicine bottle, but didn't let go of his hand, he clasped it lightly in his palm, and asked in a low voice, "Angry?"

Liu Zhongyi shook his head, stared at him without saying a word.

Wen Yan said: "I know what you mean." After a slight pause, he continued: "Zhong Yi, I know you don't want me to be hurt because of you, but you are very important to me, I think, about as I'm the same as you. Since you don't want me to be like this, then... have you ever thought about what I was thinking when you asked me to go first? "

Liu Zhongyi seemed to be stunned, his eyes were lowered, and he didn't answer for a while.

"Whether it was in that stone room, at the Gate of Asking Swords, or on the chain bridge of the Mingsha Sect, you were always used to putting yourself in danger."

Wen Yan clasped his hands slightly, Liu Zhongyi even felt that his phalanx was pinched by him, but he didn't struggle, wanting to hear him finish his sentence.

"It seems that you always calmly make the decision that hurts the least, but in fact..." Wen Yan raised his hand and gently raised his face, meeting his eyes, "You always refuse to value yourself."

Liu Zhongyi slightly opened his eyes and looked at him, as if he wanted to say something, but Wen Yan shook his head slightly, leaned closer, pressed against his forehead, and sighed softly: "Maybe I can't blame you... I have been so indifferent these five years Treating you so well may make you get used to thinking that you are not important to me... In fact, these days I have been feeling like I am in a dream. I treat you like that, and you are still willing to be with me..."

"The owner..."

Liu Zhongyi looked at him for a moment, with complicated emotions in his eyes, which seemed to be at a loss, but there was more affection that he had not spoken.

For a moment, Wen Yan felt unbearable pain in his heart, closed his eyes, and slowly put his forehead on his shoulder, before continuing: "Zhong Yi, no matter what, no matter what happens next time, don't be the same as before. Easily ignore yourself."

Liu Zhongyi was a little at a loss for his weak appearance, so he could only let him lean on him, motionless.

"Even if there is something dangerous, we can still be together, can't we?" Before hearing his answer, Wen Yan squeezed his hand again: "Promise me."

Liu Zhongyi was silent for a moment, then agreed softly, raised his other hand, avoiding the wound, and gently wrapped his arms around his shoulders, like a promise.

Wen Yan whispered: "Even if you can't change it for a while, just remember that I still have a 'red line'."

Liu Zhongyi pursed his lips and said, "Villa Master, is the 'red line' really unsolvable?"

"En." Wen Yan responded, but thought in his heart, even if there was, he would never tell him. Only in this way, this person would probably be more scrupulous.

Liu Zhongyi embraced him quietly, and after a while, as if she had made up her mind, she said, "I remember."

After receiving his answer, Wen Yan finally felt a little relieved, and the two cuddled together to rest for a while, Liu Zhongyi said: "Xie Miao must know something, I'm worried..."

He paused for a moment and did not continue, but Wen Yan understood what he meant, and said: "Although Xie Miao's actions were extreme and ruthless, it can be seen in the Snow Valley that day that he would not kill Zhong Qing, and Zhong Qing is now... At least there is no danger of life."

Liu Zhongyi nodded, but his brows were still furrowed. After a moment of silence, he said: "We must find a way to notify Senior Yuan, and... I don't know what Mr. Jian is doing now..."

"Although Qi Su used a killer move on you just now, he never hit Mr. Jian hard. Presumably Mr. Jian is not in danger for the time being." Wen Yan sat up a little and said: "Besides, listen to what he just said, On the contrary, Qi Su seems to owe him something."

"The person Mr. Jian mentioned should be the woman we saw on Muyue Cliff that day," Liu Zhongyi said: "At that time, he said that he was injured by a poisonous palm five years ago and has been in a coma until now... It turned out that he was hurt by Xie Mun, no wonder Mr. Jian is willing to help brother."

Wen Yan sighed: "I can't think of a [-]% chance, she still didn't survive."

Both of them were silent for a while, Wen Yan said: "At that time, she was trying to save Qi Su, but she didn't know...why Xie Miao wanted to kill Qi Su at that time."

"Five years ago..." Liu Zhong wondered for a moment, and seemed to think of something suddenly, and said, "Probably... it was because of my brother. Xie Mu knew the identity of his brother, so he would naturally know... down our business."

He paused for a moment before continuing: "Anyway... Even if he really wanted to kill me just now, he still saved my brother and me."

Wen Yan clasped his hand and said in a low voice: "...I understand."

Liu Zhongyi raised his eyes to look at him, and said quietly: "Master, don't worry, I promise you, I will not give my life to others easily."

Those eyes were calm and firm, but Wen Yan understood the forbearance and affection under those eyes, so he couldn't help but get closer, and kissed the lips that said the words that made his heart tremble, not provocative or frivolous, but comforting. Just like confirming, be careful and serious.

It was only for a moment, but Liu Zhongyi closed his eyes slightly because of his gentleness, and let go of his heavy and restless mood for the time being.

"Zhong Yi," Wen Yan called him in a low voice after both of them calmed down, and said, "Have you ever thought about what will happen after these things are over?"

"Huh?" Liu Zhongyi seemed a little puzzled, and looked up at him.

Wen Yan raised his hand to touch the end of his eyebrows, wiped away a little blood that had been inadvertently stained there, and said, "After this incident, you shouldn't go back to the ghost building again, right?"

Liu Zhongyi thought for a moment, then nodded.

Wen Yan looked at him, his eyes were bright but soft as water.

Knowing that he wanted to hear what he had to say, Liu Zhongyi pursed his lips slightly, and said, "I want to travel with the owner...to travel around, and hang the pot to help the world."

Wen Yan bent the corners of his lips and said, "You must marry me first."

Liu Zhongyi didn't expect him to mention this suddenly, he was startled for a moment, and replied not to be outdone: "The owner of the villa promised me, don't forget."

Wen Yan knew that he was referring to the hijab, so he replied without changing his face: "Naturally." After thinking for a while, he added, "Although I often go out for medical treatment, I still have to stay in the village for a few months a year to handle some affairs. , if you are free, how about I teach you medical skills?"

Liu Zhongyi's eyes lit up slightly, and said, "Okay."

Wen Yan couldn't help but chuckled, and kissed the end of his eyes, full of tenderness.

Liu Zhongyi held his hand tightly, and said in a low voice: "Too many murders have been committed in the past five years. Even though those people have committed some evil deeds, I still feel that I am not a good person. I remember the villa owner I once asked, do I believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, if there are really ghosts and gods in this world, I would not want to go to hell after death... never to be able to meet the owner again."

He seldom said such direct and explicit words, but Wen Yan felt half joy and half pain in his heart when he heard it. He raised his hand and hugged him tightly, and said in his ear: "No, a lifetime is so long, I will teach you Medical skills will definitely wipe out all the evils of the past..."

"En." Liu Zhongyi responded, gradually feeling very stable in his heart, and at the same time, began to look forward to the imaginary uncontrollable future.

It would be great if there was such a day.
