In front of the North Gate

Chapter 05

On the second day after escaping from the dungeon, Shi Jichang suffered from insomnia.

Whether it was the scent of fragrance or the overly soft bed, Ji Chang felt uncomfortable when he was used to sleeping on the wooden plank bed. Instead, his whole body felt strange, and he lay stiffly for a long time before sitting up from the bed.

Beside him was a male concubine whose origin and purpose were unknown, whose identity and dress looked weird.

I don't know if the name is real, but I said it was Lou Huaiyu.

Lou Huaiyu was very strange, he was the kind of person Shi Jichang had never met.

He looks innocent and innocent as if he doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, but he is very good at acting coquettishly and flattering other men to achieve his goals; he seems to be spoiled and spoiled by snobbery and worships money, but he wants to escape from this exquisite and comfortable gentle town, even at the expense of Injure yourself on purpose.

Lou Huaiyu rescued him, protected him, covered up for him, wanted to feed him medicine, but insisted on pulling him to sleep on the bed together.

But Lou Huaiyu also took advantage of his fate, as long as he wanted to, Shi Jichang could be recaptured in minutes.

Shi Jichang turned his head to look, but unfortunately tonight is not a moonlit night, there is almost no light in the room, and he can't see anything, he can only hear the long and regular breathing of the other party, which is different from the sleepless him.

Shi Jichang is rarely as unmeasured as he is now. He is used to relying on himself, and rarely relies on others for his overall plan like this. Besides, he is still a person who cannot be sure of safety, so he is always a little uneasy.

But it's useless to be uneasy, because Shi Jichang has no other way.

The wind in Pingcheng is always very strong, blowing from morning to night, flapping the windows and wooden doors disorderly, and occasionally making some sharp air friction sounds.

Shi Jichang stared at the darkness in the void in a daze, and after an unknown amount of time, the people around him suddenly moved, babbling like a child.

Shi Jichang saw that he seemed to be about to turn around, but without thinking much, his body and brain were about to lie down.

After Lou Huaiyu groaned a few times, she turned around and rushed towards Shi Jichang.

Shi Jichang sat for a while, the temperature of his upper body was lower than the temperature of the bed, Lou Huaiyu put half of his body on him, let out a dissatisfied hum from his throat, and said softly: "It's cold."

After finishing speaking, he didn't know why he didn't back away, but squeezed up, and even wrapped his arms around Shi Jichang's chest.

Shi Jichang froze a little.

Lou Huaiyu's body was unnaturally soft, and her hair was thin, sticking to Shi Jichang's cheeks, which was very itchy.

At this time and this posture, it would be too embarrassing to wake people up.

Shi Jichang had no choice but to hold on for a while, and then slowly raised his free hand to remove the hair from his face.

I don't know which one of them pulls the whole body, and Lou Huaiyu hums dissatisfiedly, and he rubs against Shi Jichang's body even more, leaning his cheek against Shi Jichang's shoulder.

For a moment, Shi Jichang thought inappropriately, Lou Huaiyu's face looked so small, where did the soft flesh come from.

He didn't dare to move any more, he lay stiffly and stared into the darkness, and fell asleep instead.

In the middle of the night, Shi Jichang had a long dream.

In his dream, he first dreamed that when he was very young, he was studying with many elder brothers in private schools. The elder brothers taught him, "Tao is governed by government, and equal by punishment, and the people are free from shame." It is governed by government, and it is punished by punishment, and the people are spared and shameless."

Not a word.

The brothers praised him for being smart, picked him up and tossed him a few times, but no one caught him the last time.

Shi Jichang fell to the ground, before he could breathe out the pain, he suddenly heard the deafening sound of cannons.He stood up, already in the middle of the fire, the sound of guns and exclamations continued, like purgatory on earth.

Suddenly, someone grabbed him forcefully and protected him under his body, and then warm liquid flowed down, surrounding Shi Jichang warmly, as if returning to his mother's womb, ignorant and at ease.

The cannon fire stopped, the fire stopped, and the screaming stopped.

Shi Jichang was doused with cold water.

The man with fat head and big ears asked him in non-standard Chinese: "Do you want to talk?"

A weak smile appeared on Shi Jichang's face, and he said, "What are you talking about, I don't understand what the dog said."

That angry face was ferocious, and after punching and kicking Shi Jichang, he walked to the side angrily.

Perhaps in the dream, Shi Jichang didn't feel the pain.

When he came back, he still had a red-hot soldering iron in his hand.

"You are not afraid, I wonder if he is afraid?"

When Shi Jichang looked down, he realized that Lou Huaiyu was leaning on him. His hands and arms were so fine and white that they seemed to have no fluff, and they lay softly on his body.

And the soldering iron approached him, Lou Huaiyu's sleeping face was peaceful, ignorant, and his eyelashes trembled slightly with his breathing.

Shi Jichang wanted to wake him up, but he couldn't speak no matter what.

One second before the soldering iron touched Lou Huaiyu, Shi Jichang suddenly opened his eyes.

He took a few heavy breaths and saw the intricate carvings on the top of the bed.

The light was dim, because the bed curtain was lowered by Lou Huaiyu, and the pink veil was gently swaying.

Shi Jichang lifted the quilt and sat up, fearing that there would be someone outside, so he gently raised the bed curtain to look out.

Lou Huaiyu can wash up normally today. He is sitting in front of the dressing table, pulling up his loose black hair and fixing a loose bun with a comb.Lou Huaiyu had small eyes, big eyes, and fair skin, and a face that was indistinguishable from male and female was reflected in the mirror.

He seemed to see Shi Jichang's movements in the mirror, turned around and smiled: "You're awake."

"I see you are very tired. I wanted you to sleep more, so I didn't call you." Lou Huaiyu showed that expression of asking for credit again. I usually fold the quilts by myself.”

Shi Jichang completely opened the curtain and prepared to get out of bed.

Lou Huaiyu groaned and told him to wait.

After a while, Lou Huaiyu came back with a big burden.

"I asked Xiaodong to buy it yesterday." He handed over the things. The bundle was not tightly packed, and when Shi Jichang got it, it fell apart. Inside was a whole set of winter clothes for men.

Lou Huaiyu added: "However, there are not many opportunities for Xiaodong to go out. It may take a while for him to get what you want."

Shi Jichang originally wanted a newspaper, pen and paper.

Lou Huaiyu observed his expression and explained: "I thought, clothes are more important in winter, and you still need to recuperate..."

Shi Jichang interrupted him: "Understood, it's all right."

After a pause, he added, "Thank you."

Lou Huaiyu was happy and told him to change it.

The package contained a set of underwear, padded trousers, a mandarin jacket, and a jacket.

Shi Jichang was so hot that he almost sweated when he put it on.

However, the clothes fit well. Shi Ji Changsheng was tall and tall, and he wore a dignified appearance. He looked completely different from him the day before yesterday, very decent.

Lou Huaiyu waited outside the bed to look at him, boasting exaggeratedly: "Wow, you look so good in your clothes, walking on the street, everyone else has to go to a tailor to make a suit."

He ran to hang the curtain, Shi Jichang smiled lightly where he couldn't see.
