Rebirth was attacked by scum and stalked to death

Chapter 8

The rain pattered until dawn.

He Chuiyi was not sleepy at first, but in the middle of the night, Emperor Wu's body was as hot as a stove, and he fell asleep vaguely at the comfortable temperature.

When he woke up, his limbs were almost numb, and his body was still locked in Emperor Wu's arms. He frowned, trying to break free from Emperor Wu's arms, but when he moved his arms, Emperor Wu suddenly opened his eyes, still in shock looking at himself.

He hugged He Chuiyi even tighter in panic, his body was still trembling, and he murmured: "Give...I'll give it!"

"Release." He Cuiyi said against his chest.

Emperor Wu froze, raised his head slowly, his eyes fell on He Cuiyi's expressionless face, he let go of one hand to caress his face, but was stopped by He Cuiyi halfway.

"I'll give you all."

"I don't want it." He Chuiyi pushed Emperor Wu away and sat up. He got up and took Emperor Wu's clothes, and said, "Put on the clothes first."

He Cuiyi threw the clothes to Emperor Wu, but he suddenly grabbed his injured wrist. He Cuiyi gasped in pain and said angrily, "Let go!"

He glared at Emperor Wu, but his scalp was numb from the latter's furious eyes. Emperor Wu pulled him closer, his expression extremely terrifying, and he uttered a few words between his teeth: "Don't you dare?"

He Chuiyi looked at him silently, and said word by word: "I, no, yes."

Emperor Wu's breathing tightened suddenly, and he grasped his hand harder, the blood soon soaked through the white cloth, staining the white sleeves bright red, when he saw the blood stains, he suddenly calmed down, and let go as if his hands were burning.

"Sorry, I had a dream, in the dream..."

"I'm not interested." He Chuiyi said indifferently.

"Thank you last night..."

"You're welcome, you help me first." He Chuiyi packed up his bags and left some cold clothes for him, "You're caught in the cold, go back to the capital. I can go back to Luozhou City by myself."

After tidying up his clothes, Emperor Wu washed his face with the rainwater accumulated at the entrance of the cave, turned around and wiped the water drops on his face, and said to He Chuiyi, "You can't go back."

He Chuiyi raised his eyebrows indifferently, "I know the way."

Emperor Wu pursed his lips helplessly, and said, "You're going in the wrong direction."

"..." He Chuiyi glanced at him hesitantly, and suddenly asked, "Then how did you find me?"

"I'm just guessing." Emperor Wu put on the cloak He Chuiyi gave him last night, and packed the other things for him, "Let's go, I'll take you there."

Seeing him avoiding his eyes, He Chuiyi knew it well but didn't expose it.

Guess?Can you guess the direction you are going by guessing?

There was light rain in the sky, and Emperor Wu wanted to wait for the rain to stop, but He Cuiyi disagreed, so the two had no choice but to walk in the rain.

Facts have proved that He Chuiyi really went in the wrong direction and turned off on the way to Luozhou City. If Emperor Wu hadn't found him, he would not be able to return to Luozhou City even if he walked for ten and a half months.

The two of them ate dry food and hurried on the road. He Cuiyi's actions were really not agile. The two-hour journey dragged abruptly until halfway through Shenshi. When they arrived at the gate of Luozhou City, He Cuiyi stopped and looked slightly sideways at the person behind him. Emperor Wu pointedly said: "Here we are."

Emperor Wu froze and asked, "Are you there?"

He Chuiyi turned around, pursed his lips, and the bloody mole at the corner of his mouth was hidden in the shadow, he said: "Emperor, don't forget what you promised me."

"What are you going to do in the city?" Emperor Wu asked with a gloomy expression.

He Chuiyi answered patiently, "Looking for someone."

"Looking for Zhong Xiaoshi?"

"Yes."

Emperor Wu stood with his hands behind his back, clenched his fists hidden behind his back tightly, stared at He Chuiyi with his black eyes half a smile, and said in a light tone: "Do you really remember him?"

He Cuiyi tilted his head, and the long braids hanging down to his ankles swayed in the air. It was obvious that he didn't want to answer this question.

After not seeing him answer for a long time, Emperor Wu's eyes became colder and darker, "What do you want him for?"

He Chuiyi just wanted to send him away as soon as possible, so he said honestly: "Ask him something."

"Is there anything you can't ask me?"

He Chuiyi took a deep breath and said helplessly, "You are nothing to me, I can't believe what you said."

"It's nothing?" Emperor Wu lowered his head and chewed on this sentence, his plain tone was filled with creepy coldness.

"Then what is he?"

"benefactor."

Emperor Wu was silent, and let out a muffled laugh for a long time, "I promise you, let's go."

He Chuiyi really turned around and left, as if he didn't want to stay for a moment, and after a few steps, he turned back and asked, "Where are you going next?"

This sudden concern did not ease Emperor Wu's expression, he narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Worried that I will follow you?"

He Chuiyi nodded noncommittally, looking at him with contempt in his eyes: "Didn't you do it?"

Emperor Wu paused, deliberately ignoring his eyes, and said: "There are still matters in the capital waiting for me to deal with, and I will return to Beijing... for a while."

After getting the answer he wanted, He Chuiyi nodded and said goodbye.

The light rain in the sky is still there, He Chuiyi's thin figure slowly walks away, the eye-catching red clothes are still reflected in Emperor Wu's eyes even after walking to the end, his eyes are like a hungry beast, wishing to transform into the red shadow of a centipede general Fell under him.

After a while, Chi Ying disappeared, and he looked away lightly, then turned and walked towards the road he had come from.

After entering the city, He Cuiyi bought a veiled hat and put it on. He went to the notice and looked at it. He was relieved when he saw that there was no arrest warrant on the notice. Then he walked to the prefect's mansion from memory, detoured several times and did the same. He couldn't find the way, so in desperation, he lowered the brim of his hat and casually stopped a passerby to ask for directions.

"May I ask how to get to the prefect's mansion?"

The passer-by looked him around in surprise, waved his hand and said, "You made a mistake, Nayin is still a few days away, you came early."

"Nayin?" He Chuiyi murmured puzzledly, and continued to ask: "Then do you know Zhong Xiaoshi?"

A passer-by said in surprise: "How can I not know Young Master Zhong? He is a good man from all over the world. You want to find him a job?"

He Chuiyi coughed and said in a low voice, "Yes."

The passer-by nodded clearly, and pointed out a way for He Chuiyi, "It's just a mile ahead."

"Thank you."

Thanks to passers-by, He Chuiyi walked in the direction he pointed, and as expected, after walking a mile, he saw the gate of the prefect's mansion.

He asked the servant of the prefect's mansion where Zhong Xiaoshi was going, but was told that Zhong Xiaoshi left Luozhou City yesterday and his whereabouts are still unknown.

He found an inn near the Taishou's mansion and waited. During the period, he listened to others talking about the fact that the last member of the Wugu clan was beheaded by Emperor Wu four days ago by the Jin River. The feud between the Jin Dynasty and the Wugu clan was finally settled. Yi's state of mind is full of mixed feelings, Emperor Wu's attitude towards him is really unbelievable, and all he can do is stay away from Emperor Wu as much as possible.

As night fell, Zhong Xiaoshi still hadn't returned home, so He Chuiyi had no choice but to find a doctor's office to bandage his wound, and then returned to the inn to rest for the night.

If Zhong Xiaoshi doesn't come back tomorrow, he will leave.

When he returned to the inn, he glanced in the direction of the prefect's mansion. The front door of the mansion was wide open, and a few lanterns were dimly lit. As soon as he stepped into the inn, he was rushed into his arms before he could look away.

The dusty breath filled his mouth and nose, and He Cuiyi's whole body trembled, and he pressed down on the man's life gate with his hand, and asked coldly, "Who?"

"It hurts!" Shouting pain in his mouth, he hugged He Cuiyi's waist but never let go.

"Why is he willing to let you back?" The one who was so reckless was Zhong Xiaoshi, a benevolent man from ten miles and eight towns.

Although Zhong Xiaoshi is not very old, he is not small in stature. He is a little taller than He Cuiyi, but at this moment, he lowered his body and put his arms around He Cuiyi's waist. He threw himself into his arms and raised his head slightly, feeling extremely surprised looking at him.

Sweat was still dripping from Zhong Xiaoshi's temples, and the deep worry in his eyes made He Chuiyi bend his lips, and said in a soft voice, "Release first."

"I don't!" He rubbed his sweaty face against He Cuiyi's red jacket, his voice full of grievances, "As soon as I let go, you left again."

"How old are you? Still acting like a baby."

"Eighteen, you haven't reached the crown yet, you can act like a baby."

"At eighteen, you can marry a wife and have children, not too young."

"It's fine to marry a wife, but forget about having a child. I'm afraid he won't be able to give birth." He raised his brows at He Chuiyi strangely, and the latter sighed, "Go to the room, I have something to ask you."

His body froze for a moment, lowered his eyes, and asked, "Do you remember?"

"Go back to the room and talk."

The two returned to the room prepared in advance, Zhong Xiaoshi followed behind He Cuiyi, obedient like a child who has done something wrong.

"What do you want to ask?" Zhong Xiaoshi asked anxiously.

"Have we met before?" He Chuiyi asked straight to the point.

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoshi was stunned for a moment, then happily said: "You didn't remember?"

He Chuiyi was speechless: "I don't remember why you are happy?"

Zhong Xiaoshi lowered his head and did not answer.

What are you happy about?Glad you don't remember him, glad you're back, even if you don't remember me either.

"Answer me." He Chuiyi frowned.

"We've seen it before."

"when?"

"three years ago."

The two asked and answered, He Chuiyi hesitated for a moment, then asked again: "Did you lie to me?"

Zhong Xiaoshi suddenly raised his head, staring fixedly at He Cuiyi with a depth that didn't match his age, "I will never lie to you."

He Chuiyi didn't take it seriously, "How did we meet?"

Zhong Xiaoshi said: "Three years ago, there was a heavy rain in Luozhou City."

When he said this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across Zhong Xiaoshi's face, but it was only fleeting, and even He Chuiyi didn't catch it.

"That torrential rain was the biggest rain I've ever seen in my life. Jinjiang is a big river. After the heavy rain, the water rises, and the terrain of Luozhou City is much lower than that of Jinjiang. The rising river water is all poured into the city. At that time, you happened to be in the city."

"I do not remember."

"It's okay, I'll tell you."

Zhong Xiaoshi continued: "I was 15 years old that year. At that time," he paused and looked deeply into He Cuiyi's eyes, "my legs couldn't stand up and walk."

"Then you now?" He Chuiyi asked in surprise.

"You don't remember, I have bruises on my legs, blocking the circulation of Qi and blood. I can stand up because of you."

"I?"

"Well, you know how to control Gu, and helped me clear up the blood on my legs."

"You know my identity?"

"know."

He Chuiyi pondered for a while and asked, "Why should I help you?"

"I don't know either, maybe I feel pitiful, maybe I see your own shadow in me."

Pitiful?Will He Chuiyi lend a helping hand to a person just because he feels sorry for him?

He will not.

He Chuiyi didn't delve into this question, he hesitated for a while, and asked reluctantly: "Am I really a eunuch?"

Zhong Xiaoshi nodded and said, "Yes."

He Chuiyi's face was stiff, "But I..."

"Pfft! Don't worry, the emperor will not let you die." Zhong Xiaoshi laughed.

"If what you said is true, what's the difference between staying by his side and cutting off children and grandchildren?"

Zhong Xiaoshi laughed so hard that he couldn't open his eyes, "That's true."

"Wait," Zhong Xiaoshi grabbed his hand suddenly, "You mean, you won't go back?"

He Chuiyi shook his head, "I've never met him before, what are we going to do when we go back?"

"Then you stay in Luozhou City!"

He Chuiyi still shook his head: "No, there are still many places I want to go."

"I go with you!"

"No, I want to go by myself."

Either he was afraid that Zhong Xiaoshi would continue to pester him, or He Cuiyi wanted to know from the very beginning, so he asked Zhong Xiaoshi: "Do you know why the emperor and I met? Why did I... stay in the palace?"
