Chapter 64
Long Jiu's words gave Yun Xi the illusion that he existed for her.
How is this possible?
She was inexplicably favored by God and was able to be reborn in another person, but she did not lose her self-knowledge because of it.
Yun Xi smiled quietly: "Some people say that the most basic principle of being a friend should be honesty. What do you think, Brother Long?"
"Of course, honesty is relative. But I believe that Miss Yun is just like me, a person who only looks at the future and doesn't ask about the past."
Yun Xi looked at the man with a magnanimous face and felt that his words had some meaning.
Thinking of her origins, she felt a little guilty, and she was even more unsure whether he was simply refusing to reveal his past to her, or whether there was something behind his words.
"Since when did Miss Yun like snow so much?"
Long Jiu seemed to ask casually, but Yun Xi's heart tightened after hearing it.
his words……
Thinking of the original owner's fear of the cold and the feeling of being seen through the soul, is it really a coincidence or an illusion?
Yun Xi's brain was in chaos, and she didn't dare to answer this question easily. It was very likely that she would put herself in an abyss.
A cold snowball suddenly exploded on my head. It didn't hurt, but it was really cold.
Cool enough to calm her down quickly.
Long Jiu met her astonished look, raised the fist-sized snowball in his hand and smiled evilly.
"Aren't you going to have a snowball fight?"
At this moment, Yun Xi looked at the man with the same eyes as Yun Long and let go of the doubts and defenses in her heart.
What he said is right, regardless of the source, regardless of the past, only look at the future.
Good or bad, she recognized this friend!
After making the decision, she felt relaxed.
Yun Xi looked at the snowball in the opponent's hand that was ready to go. Instead of hiding, she quickly made a snowball using materials on the spot and threw it at it.
Long Jiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the man who had regained his energy.
Deep down, he couldn't help but feel glad that he made the right bet, thanks to her not continuing to ask about his origins, otherwise he would have been really afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on and reveal his identity all at once.
The two people, each with their own secrets, had a snowball fight in the vast world and on the broad road like children, regardless of whether you came or not.
Suddenly, Long Jiu stood still with a solemn expression.
Yun Xi, who didn't notice anything unusual at all, smiled and made a beautiful sneak attack from behind him.
The snowball spread out on the back of Long Jiu's neck, but he seemed not to feel it, and Yun Xi realized something was wrong.
Although no one wants to stay outside in such cold weather, the surroundings seem to be too quiet.
She was careless, and she became defensive almost instantly.
At this time, there was a faint rhythmic sound of footsteps in the distance, Long Jiu suddenly moved, and he quickly ran to Yun Xi.
Without bothering to explain too much, he half-hugged her in his arms and took her flying up to a big tree not far away.
Yun Xi's heartbeat accelerated in vain. She said nothing and looked nervously at the person wearing a yamen guard uniform who suddenly appeared below.
At the end of the line, a military officer dragged a man dressed as a waiter and ran to the front.
"Boss, he was about to run away but I caught him."
When the waiter heard this, his legs immediately softened and he knelt down with a plop.
"Master Jun, I'm sorry. I had a bad stomach yesterday. I was just in a hurry and wanted to find a place to go."
On the thick tree, Yun Xi saw a familiar face, her pupils shrank sharply, and a bad premonition exploded in her heart.
The arms around her waist tightened, and at the same time the man's warm breath hit her ears: "Don't move."
"Didn't you say people are coming this way? Where are the people?"
A rough and slightly hoarse voice sounded from below, and the bad premonition in Yun Xi's heart became more and more serious.
Because the familiar waiter was the clerk of the inn where she was staying, and she had met Long Jiu when she went out.
He was feeding the horses at that time and even greeted them specially.
Another officer held several portraits and spread them out in front of him.
"You can see clearly. Are you sure you are talking about the person in the painting?"
Yun Xi stood in the tree and saw clearly, and her heart suddenly became cold.
What was painted in that painting was clearly her, Long Jiu, Yun Hu and others dressed in men's clothing.
Naturally, Long Jiu also saw it, and felt the trembling of the little man in his arms, so he tightened his arms again.
"Master, I'm sure it's them. They're the same as the one you just arrested. Before you came, they had just left not long ago, and it was less than time for a cup of tea. They were in this direction."
The leading yamen officer looked around at the footprints on the ground and narrowed his eyes slightly: "The footprints only end here. He probably didn't lie. He probably couldn't have gone far. Search!"
Dozens of knife-wielding government officials dispersed instantly, and the waiter was also taken aside and controlled.
Long Jiu only knew that Yun Xi in his arms was scared and worried, but it was not safe here. The top priority was to leave here quietly as soon as possible.
"Miss Yun, we have to get out of here before they find us."
After hearing what he said, Yun Xi suppressed her worries about Yun Hu and Qin Mufeng, turned around and put her arms around Long Jiu's neck.
Long Jiu's breathing was suffocated for a moment, and he quickly adjusted himself. He took a deep breath, lifted it up, and flew up towards the roof with his feet.
Although he tried his best to be gentle with his feet, the sudden falling snow on the trees still attracted the attention of the government officials.
Almost as soon as he and Yun Xi landed on the roof, he was discovered by the other party.
"Over there, on the roof, give chase."
Long Jiu didn't dare to delay. He used Qinggong and carried someone in his arms. He jumped several times but still couldn't get rid of the pursuers below.
And because he had been seriously injured while rescuing Yun Xi, his energy had not yet recovered, and his mobility became more and more restricted, and his face became paler.
Yun Xi was a little worried about his body. In order to reduce his burden, she was almost hanging on his body.
Seeing how he gritted his teeth now, she felt a little distressed and also felt a little inappropriately guilty.
She felt guilty for dragging him down, and even more guilty for doubting her before.
Feeling that the mood of the little man in his arms seemed a little wrong, Long Jiu pretended to be relaxed and said: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Yun Xi felt her eyes were a little hot and her nose was a little sore.
They met by chance, and he risked his life twice to protect her for her. No matter what his purpose for approaching her was, intentional or unintentional, she felt that he would not blame him.
Long Jiu seemed to be aware of her thoughts and spoke first with a smile: "I will not abandon you."
Yun Xi wanted him to put her down and go alone, but it was stillborn and she could no longer say it.
If it weren't for the open look in his eyes when he looked at her, she would have suspected that he was in love with her.
Suppressing the random thoughts that popped up in her mind from time to time, she began to observe the situation around her and try to find an effective way out...
