I'll take it seriously, you're mine alone.

After resting for a while, Xu You and Wen Ji climbed up the gentle slope and out of the sinkhole, where they sat by the side of the road and waited.

Xu You was a bit worried, "Those bandits aren't still around, are they?"

Before leaving the cave, Winking Art had divined a fortune, and now he said, "There is no danger for the time being."

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, a wood cart came from afar, Xu You immediately waved to stop the cart and took out a few taels of silver, indicating that he wanted to hitchhike.

Xu You didn't put any silver on the carriage that was robbed before, and only brought some on his body, so it's good that those bandits haven't had time to search him.

The nearest direction for this diesel truck to go back is Jianan City, and the driver really said, "It's just as well that I'm also going to Jianan City, so get on the truck."

The wagon was small, and there was a lot of stuff piled on it, wood and grain and wine and things like that.

"Master, do you mind if I move things around a bit?"

Seeing that the driver nodded quickly, Xu You moved the things inward and piled them up a little to make room for the two of them to sit, and beckoned Wen Ji to get on the bus.

Wen Ji has a lot of injuries, high fever has not yet faded, at this time the face is white, thin lips colorless, forehead and some fine sweat, and from here back at least two or three days, I do not know if he can hold out.

Xu You patted his leg, "Why don't you rest on my leg, it's more comfortable."

When the driver heard this, he joked, "The young lady is quite good at caring for people."

Wen Ji lifted his eyelids to look at her, not moving.

Xu You : Hey, before in the cave is still unwilling to let me spread hands, out of the cave on the pure friendship, you're so easy to end up alone ah.

Taking advantage of the fact that he didn't have much strength right now, Xu You directly pushed his head down and rested it on her lap.

Wen Ji moved, just about to say something, Xu You raised his hand and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, he froze and settled down.

Xu You turned his head and said to the driver, "Master, can you hurry faster, he is injured and still has a high fever, his condition is not very good, if you can speed up, I will give five taels of silver again when I get to Jianan City."

Five taels of silver was enough for him to spend for a year and a half, and the driver immediately agreed and asked, "How did you get into this state?"

Xu You summarized it in a few words, and the driver was horrified, "I'll go back to Jianan City with you, and after that, I won't come back here anymore, and I'll look for another way to make a living."

Xu You spoke to the driver again and stopped talking, the firewood cart was much simpler and bumpier than the horse carriage, the road was full of potholes and piles of gravel and sand, she was turned upside down and her face did not look very good.

Smell Art sat up and held the back of her erect neck so that her head rested against his chest.

His body temperature is a little high, his arms are warm, listening to his rhythmic heartbeat, Xu You remembers the days when she used to be a kitten, nestled in his arms, counting his heartbeats.

She didn't know how long it had been, but her consciousness was fading, and with the fact that she hadn't fallen asleep the second half of the night guarding Winking Technique, she had fallen into a deep sleep.

When Xu You woke up again, it was already night, with a silver moon hanging in the sky, the stars hanging low, the snow had stopped, and there was a thin layer of white snow on the road and on the car.

Xu You moved, realizing that she was still embraced by Wen Ji, and that he had unclothed an outer robe and draped it over her body, and that she hadn't stuck to the snow from the top of her hair to her back.

She tilted her head up from his arms to check on him and realized he was asleep, a little snow had fallen on his thin, curly eyelashes and there was quite a bit in his hair.

The wind was bitterly cold, his body was freezing around him, and the car kept lurching, but he slept so peacefully, much more peacefully than he had during the latter part of the night in the cave.

Xu You wants to know what he dreamed about that second half of the night, and what he's dreaming about now.

What he was going through, good or bad, she wanted to know.

--

After three days of driving, I finally arrived in Jianan City, in front of Xu You's house.

Xu You gave the money and thanked the driver many times.

"Come on, follow me home." Xu You helped Wen Ji and walked towards the front door of his house, who knew that Wen Ji's footsteps lurched, "No."

"Why?" Xu You frowned, "You don't want to go back to Sunwonji Temple now, do you?"

After three days of rushing, his high fever had receded a bit, but quite a few wounds on his body were inflamed, and now his face was unusually flushed, his body was sickly and weak, and even his speech was extremely dry and hoarse and strained.

Cultivation is about one step at a time, and as a half Buddhist disciple, he naturally will not let anyone carry him up the mountain, but how can he go up the mountain with this appearance, Xu You are afraid that he will faint halfway up.

Wen Ji coughed twice and slowly said, "Stay at the inn."

Xu You now understands what he means, she is a widow, by the neighborhood talk endlessly, if you invite men to live for two days, it is even more dirty water bucket by bucket.

"I don't care about that." Xu You said.

Wen Ji frowned slightly, obviously not quite agreeing, and was about to say something when a voice interrupted him.

" Xu A , why did you just come back, I've been waiting for you around here for days."

Xu You followed the sound and turned his head to look, only to see a man in rough cloth, wearing a straw hat and a pair of straw shoes, robust, dark skin, obviously a person who labors all year round.

Hearing the familiar tone, Xu You didn't react for a moment, "You're ......."

"I'm your Donghong brother," Donghong Sun said, "and you don't recognize me after only half a year."

Xu You immediately read the original body of the relevant world line, Donghong Sun and the original body is a childhood friend, since childhood quite like the original body, the original body married to the city, he also lost a good period of time, and later heard that the original body has become a widow, then said that he did not mind her identity, marry her back to the village.

The original body has been begging Winking to no avail, and seeing that Winking married Lingling Ye, disillusioned, he went back to the village with Donghong Sun, who was really nice to the original body for some time at the beginning, but after a long time, he showed his fierce face and scolded him at every turn, and the original body gave birth to a child, so he could only choose to endure, and his life is depressed and unhappy.

"Ah," Xu You hangs out a fake smile, "So it's Brother Donghong, it's natural to forget after not seeing him for a long time."

"......" Donghong Sun didn't know how to take her words for a moment, after a moment's pause, he didn't even look at Wen Ji next to him, he hurriedly told Xu You what he thought was good news, "My parents have agreed to me marrying you, so come back with me and let's live a good life."

Xu You: "Do you mind if I'm a widow and married."

Donghong Sun looked sincere: "Of course I don't mind, we grew up since childhood, we know each other, you already know my heart, when you married in the city, I also said that I would never marry you in my life, and now, isn't this exactly what God wants?"

Look at him rashly quite honest, I did not expect to say a set of things, the original body married over, he married two more people, this is a story.

Xu You obviously didn't bother to waste time on him, and directly turned his head to ask Wen Ji, "Does Master want to go to my house, or to the inn, if you are staying at the inn, I will live next door, and it will be convenient to take care of you."

I don't know if it's because he's so sick, but I just think he's looking worse.

Wen Ji's eyes flicked around Donghong Sun's face and quickly retracted, looking towards the door of Xu You's house and said in a faint voice, "If you don't mind the disturbance, then you can go to your house."

Donghong Sun is now upset: " Xu A, who is he, why do you want to go to your house?

Xu You didn't even lift his head and led Wen Ji away.

Donghong Sun's face was red and white, feeling that the words that moved heaven and earth just now had turned into farts, "If you still want to be the one to go back with me, then don't be unclear with other men."

"Wishful thinking or delusion?" Wen Ji spoke, his eyes flirting with the end of his eyes, his lips hooked into a cold smile, "When did you hear that she wanted to go back with you?"

Xu You froze, looked up at him, really rare, used to seeing his indifferent appearance, the first time to see him this mean and calculating appearance.

"You!" Donghong Sun saw that although he was covered in mud and blood, his temperament was extraordinary and the way he looked at people with cold eyes was really chilling, he hardened his head and gritted his teeth, "What's it got to do with you?"

"Heh," Wen Ji snorted lightly, "What does it matter to you what I want?"

Donghong Sun glared, noticing Wen Ji's empty side of his coat, and said with mock sarcasm, "Who did I think it was, but it turned out to be a crippled one."

" Xu A , what good is it to be with a cripple, why don't you come back with me, my parents are still thinking about you too."

After a long journey, Xu You doesn't bother to waste any more energy with him and just bangs on the door to call the servants to come out and drive Donghong Sun away.

Donghong Sun's eyes flicked between the two of them and suddenly said in a conspiratorial manner, "I thought you were having a hard time being a widow, why don't you go back, so it's because of him."

"A widow and a cripple, what a perfect match."

Xu You instructed the courtyard guards, "Teach him a lesson."

"Yes, ma'am."

Seeing that Wenjiao's expression remained unchanged, not caring about the word crippled, she was relieved and went into the house with him.

Who knew that she had just finished ordering her subordinates to prepare hot water, when she turned her head, she saw Wen Jiao pulling out a piece of yellow paper with red runes on it, he scraped his finger and used blood to re-trace the runes on it once more, and then he could set up a blood spell.

Apparently he wanted to curse Donghong Sun.

Wen Ji had just drawn two strokes when his wrist was held by someone, he raised his eyes to see Xu You containing his fingers.

His fingertips met the tip of a warm, soft tongue, and his eyes darkened as he looked at her steadily.

Xu You let go of his hand and casually laughed, "Don't get hurt and bleed again." Placing a blood spell would also backfire on him, so this was really not worth the loss.

Wen Ji didn't know that she knew about the blood spell, but there was still a restrained feeling in his heart, "You care about him?"

"I do care about you."

Facing the light, her eyes full of translucence, she looked at him, her voice soft and sincere.

Without realizing it himself, Wen Ji's brow stretched open, the corners of his lips curved slightly, and he put away the piece of yellow paper.

Xiang He walked in, "Madam, the hot water is ready."

"Did you get the doctor?"

"Already on its way."

"Good," Xu You said to Wen Ji, "after you have washed and changed your clothes, you will see the doctor."

After thinking about it, she added, "Do you need me to help or send an underling to help you bathe." Seeing that he had injuries and was still sick, she was not quite at ease.

"I'll be fine on my own."

Xu You didn't give him a hard time and went to his room to take a bath himself.

Soaking in the wooden barrel, the water warm and bubbling, the exhaustion and coldness slowly dissipating from his body, Xu You took the time to have Seven-Eight check the trust value.

Seven Eight shivered hot and sour noodles as he said, "Trust value 60, blackened value 40."

"60?!" Xu You said incredulously, "Is there something wrong with your system, how can it be only 60?"

She'd brushed up to 60 the month before, and since then she'd been stuck at that value, like the feeling of passing a college final exam with 60 points, with any extra point being a luxury.

After a one-night trip to the cave, the two of them were close to worshipping heaven and earth, the trust value had to be at least 80, and she had to be 100 to complete the task, the 60 gap made her remember the fear of the scum being dominated by her grades.

Nanashi threw down his chopsticks, refreshed them, and added, "That's right, it's really 60."

"......" What exactly went wrong with the link.

This time the bath could not even be a relaxing one, Xu You scratched his hair, rather annoyed, simply washed it twice, put on his clothes and went to find Wen Ji.

Just as soon as the door was opened, he saw Wen Ji just tied his belt, his hair was wet and spread out, his eyes were moistened by water mist in general, dark and slightly liquefied, the original cold white cheeks because of the heat slightly red, colorful as peach blossoms.

Wen Ji raised an eyebrow at her, "What?"

Xu You had a breath of air stuck in his heart, hard tempted by his appearance of a beauty out of the bath, froze and spoke directly, "Can you be pleased with Miss Ye?"

Winking Art sat down at the table and shook his head.

Xu You followed suit and sat down, "Then why did you allow her to approach you before?"

Wen Ji poured a cup of tea and took a light sip to moisten his throat, "Because of the radish."

"......"

He put down his teacup and said lightly, "Miss Ye's stir-fried radish is very similar to the one my sister made when she was alive."

Xu You was stunned, and his heart throbbed.

How much despair did he have to go through to be able to speak in such a flat tone of those unforgiving past, his parents died early and he was dependent on his sister until he was ten years old, who knew that she had also gone.

Those in the village would only say that he was a grimace and a pest, but they didn't know what he had endured for it.

How he longed for the kind of affection that ordinary people could have, the kind of affection he should have grown up with, but instead he suffered pain and setbacks at that age.

No wonder in the worldline, he disliked Lingling Ye, yet he returned to the custom to marry her, only because of the flesh and blood in her belly, because of that little tug of longing for kinship.

Xu You squeezed the teacup in his hand, unable to speak.

Wen Ji abruptly said, "What about you, does your heart please him?"

It's hard for him not to mind that when Xu You went to take a bath earlier, he used her birth date to do a fortune telling and found out that she and Donghong Sun were related by marriage, of course he didn't get Donghong Sun's birth date, and the fortune telling wasn't always accurate, but it was enough for him to experience an emotion - jealousy.

Like tiny gravel laced into his veins, it flowed with his blood, rubbing out the pain at all times and making his whole body uncomfortable.

Meeting his serious gaze, Xu You suddenly had the feeling of kindergarteners exchanging candy with each other, you for my blueberry flavor, I for your watermelon flavor.

No wonder he answered so honestly, Xu You was trying to beat around the bush before.

"You like him?" Seeing Xu You hesitate, there was a subtle emotion in his tone.

"Of course not." Xu You decisively said.

Wen Ji frowned in relief as a warm palm covered the back of his hand.

He raised his eyes, only to see her brow arched as she said softly, word for word, "Master, I said-"

"It doesn't matter if you're missing an arm, I'll hold you and I won't let go."

Wen Ji's eyelashes gently trembled, backhandedly holding her, lacquered eyes sullenly said, " Xu You , I will take it seriously."

So no matter what happens in the future, you won't be able to let go, and I won't allow you to.

You're mine.

I smell art for one.
