After the lightning, the sky and the earth roared again, and the muffled sound of thunder could be heard faintly. But a moment later, heavy rain came, and the scenery outside the cave was covered under the rain curtain.

Under the heavy rain, everything that remained was washed away, including the traces left by Wang Yi and Xiao Wenxuan.

The rain rustled the leaves, the rain fell on the ground, splashing mud, the wind blew the trees, and it was no longer possible to distinguish between east, west and north between heaven and earth. A heavy rain washed away everything.

Inside the cave, Wang Yi and Xiao Wenxuan were hiding from the heavy rain at the entrance of the cave. The rain curtain was vast, and the rocks began to shake slowly under the wash of the violent storm, with a terrifying sound.

On the top of the cave entrance, water drops fall on the ground from time to time, making a tinkling sound, melodious and sweet.

Xiao Wenxuan was in a daze beside the bonfire. Wang Yi looked back at the quiet cave and did not dare to enter. After all, he did not know what kind of snakes and insects were inside. If there was an accident, it would make the current situation even more difficult.

As a result, the cold wind blew at the entrance of the cave. Xiao Wenxuan hugged her body tightly and sat closer to the bonfire again. Fortunately, Wang Yi had found a lot of broken branches and leaves before, which was enough for two people.

Xiao Wenxuan seemed to be unable to bear the cold wind, and suddenly sneezed. Wang Yi looked over, and Xiao Wenxuan frowned, grabbed his clothes again, and glanced at Wang Yi sheepishly.

In the process of escaping, Wang Yi fought repeatedly, but Xiao Wenxuan did not rest for a moment. He helped Wang Yi from the side. In addition, his body had not fully recovered before, and now he was still tired. He fell on the stone beside him and fell into a deep sleep.

Wang Yi was speechless. He gently took off his coat, walked slowly to Xiao Wenxuan, put his coat on Xiao Wenxuan, turned around and walked to the cave, with his back to Xiao Wenxuan, looking at the mountains under the heavy rain.

Startled and lost in thought.

Xiao Wenxuan opened her eyes, glanced at Wang Yi sitting there, and then fell asleep with a smile on her face.

After a long time, Xiao Wenxuan woke up again and found the clothes on his body. He glanced at Wang Yi, who was sitting at the entrance of the cave and dressed in white. He added a few dead branches to the bonfire, then propped his mouth and stared blankly.

Looking at Wang Yi's back.

Wang Yi's white clothes inside had been cut by sharp objects, stained with mud and blood, and looked very bleak.

This is the first time that Xiao Wenxuan has really observed Wang Yi so carefully and up close. How could this man who suddenly appeared in her life, a man in his twenties, be so lonely? What kind of Jin Yiwei is this guy?

The first seat of the imperial edict sounds like a good official position, but why is he so lonely? There is nothing for the young man to rely on.

After looking at it for a long time, Xiao Wenxuan suddenly heard Wang Yi say: "Are you awake?"

Xiao Wenxuan blushed, handed the coat in her hand to Wang Yi, and said with some embarrassment: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for the clothes."

Wang Yi smiled lightly and said, "Miss Xiao, you're welcome."

There was another moment of silence as I interacted with girls

Wang Yi was not good at it. Then Li Shuyue, Ye Yao from Yejiazhai, and now Xiao Wenxuan.

"Can I call you Wang Yi?" Xiao Wenxuan was cautious, fearing that Wang Yi would say no.

Wang Yi smiled calmly, "Of course."

Xiao Wenxuan was a little happy when she heard Wang Yi's answer, and then said: "Then just call me Wenxuan."

Wang Yi looked at Xiao Wenxuan, who looked delighted, but didn't know how to answer. Seeing that Wang Yi didn't answer him for a long time, Xiao Wenxuan threw the branches into the bonfire in anger.

Wang Yi spoke again: "Xiao Gu, Wen, Wen Xuan."

Xiao Wenxuan heard Wang Yi's name and said happily: "Wang Yi."

Wang Yi stood up, spread the remaining dead branches and leaves not far from the bonfire, then spread the coat that Xiao Wenxuan had just returned to Wang Yi on the dead leaves, and said slowly: "Wen Xuan, please lie down.

It will take many hours before dawn comes."

Xiao Wenxuan was a little worried and asked: "What about you?"

"I'll be at the entrance of the cave, keeping watch."

Xiao Wenxuan wanted to say something else, but seeing that Wang Yi's words were a little firm, she stopped talking. She took off her coat, sat on the clothes that Wang Yi had laid out, stretched her waist, and her graceful figure was exquisite.

.

Wang Yi had no choice but to turn his head away and pretend not to see it. Upon seeing this, Xiao Wenxuan smiled slyly, lay on it, and slowly fell asleep.

Xiao Wenxuan curled up slightly, resting her fragrant head on the crook of her arm. She felt the slightest warmth coming from under her body, and was feeling sleepy. The sight of Wang Yi, sitting at the entrance of the cave, became increasingly blurry.

In the cave, someone sighed slightly. Wang Yi looked at the world under the rain curtain, and the stars on his body slowly flowed, slowly recovering from his injuries.

The next day came quickly. Xiao Wenxuan was attracted by the smell and opened his eyes. He saw Wang Yi sitting on the same spot. He had caught a rabbit at some time and was slowly roasting it on the bonfire.

Xiao Wenxuan's clothes slowly slipped off, he squirmed lazily, yawned, and slowly sat up.

Wang Yi glanced at Xiao Wenxuan and said softly: "Wenxuan is awake."

Xiao Wenxuan gathered her hair, took a nap, stood up and walked to the entrance of the cave. She found that the heavy rain outside yesterday had disappeared, and there was a slight fragrance in the air.

Xiao Wenxuan walked to a low-lying area at the entrance of the cave, washed herself with the rainwater accumulated inside, and then returned to Wang Yi, sat down, and slowly enjoyed breakfast.

After taking a short rest, the two walked out of the cave. After identifying their direction, they both hurried down the mountain.

The breeze was gentle, the sky was blue and cloudless, and it was a rare good weather. Water drops slowly slid down the trees in the forest, and Wang Yi and Xiao Wenxuan flew down the mountain.

After a long time, the two came to a small town called Shuhe Town. Although the town was not big, it had everything, including a medical center, an inn, and a silk shop.

Satin shop, shop, pawn shop.

When Wang Yi left Chang'an with a piece of money in his arms, he exchanged the jade pendant he carried with him for silver taels at a pawn shop, went to an inn and ordered two bowls of plain noodles, spent some silver taels with the waiter, hired a carriage, and talked with the locals.

After inquiring about the location of Yongchang City, we set off on the road again.

Shuhe Town turned out to be to the west of Yongchang City, quite a distance away from Yongchang City, so after eating plain noodles, Wang Yi and Xiao Wenxuan quickly hit the road.

Xiao Wenxuan had a delicate appearance, so she bought a piece of gauze to cover her face, and sat outside the carriage chatting with Wang Yi, looking at the surrounding scenery, feeling contented.

It was calm along the way, with no obstacles and not many assassins and pursuers. Dozens of miles to the east, you will see a stone bridge. After crossing the stone bridge, walk a little further and you will see the gate of Yongchang City.

.

Under the stone bridge, there is the largest river nearby, called Shuhe. This is also the origin of the name of Shuhe town. If you want to cross the river, besides the stone bridge, there are ferries parked by the river, but the ferries are extremely expensive.

It was expensive, so the cash-strapped Wang Yi and Xiao Wenxuan could not afford the fee, so they had no choice but to walk across the stone bridge and cross the Shuhe River.

When we came to Shuhe River, the water was clear, reflecting the white clouds in the sky. There were many ferries on the riverside, but they were docked on the shore. A few aquatic plants were exposed in the shallow water, and a few wild ducks were playing in the water.

Wang Yi drove the carriage and talked with Xiao Wenxuan about the beautiful scenery around them. They were very happy.

At this time, a voice came from under the old tree nearby, "My guest is exhausted after walking all the way. It would be great to stop and have a rest."

Wang Yi followed the voice and looked, and there was an old man next to Shuhe. He was dressed in white, had silver hair and a silver beard, and had a pair of penetrating eyes, as if he could see through the hearts of people and penetrate their souls.

Wang Yi was silent for a moment, got off the carriage and came to the old man. Seeing this, Xiao Wenxuan grabbed Wang Yi's clothes and followed closely.

Wang Yi looked at the unique mark on the old man's waist and asked, "A member of the Jiang clan?"

There was a desk in front of the old man, and there were two dice on the desk. The old man sat on the ground, with his back leaning against the old tree, leisurely. When the book boy saw Wang Yi coming, he bent down and saluted.

Wang Yi sat opposite the old man, touched Xiao Wenxuan's delicate hand, and said not to worry. Xiao Wenxuan nodded, but never let go of Wang Yi's hand that grabbed the corner of Wang Yi's clothes.

"Master Wang knows a lot."

The old man spoke slowly, not surprised that Wang Yi could see his identity. After all, he was wearing a jade pendant and did not want to hide his identity. If he saw it, he would recognize it, it was fate. If he saw it, but he didn't recognize it, it doesn't matter.

"It's hard not to know. After all, this is the unique symbol of the Northern Qi Imperial Master family."
