After leaving the prison, You Qing's first thought was to find Bai Li. He didn't know if Bai Li had been caught by the county magistrate, but he went around like a headless chicken and found nothing.Thinking about what the county magistrate said, if Bai Li was arrested, someone would definitely come to inform him, and the county magistrate has been waving in front of him, and he has never seen anyone come to inform him, perhaps, Bai Li has not yet fallen into the trap. in their hands.

In the dark night, You Qing thought that Bai Li still had a glimmer of life, so he raised his spirits, and groped the way out of the county office under the dim moonlight. The strange thing is that he never encountered anyone blocking him along the way, to be exact Except for a few prisoners in the prison, no living thing was seen.Walking out so smoothly, You Qing felt very strange, but couldn't figure out why.

Walking on the road, apart from some weakness, there was no other discomfort in the body. I touched my wrist again subconsciously, feeling incredible, and touched my face again. I didn’t feel any wounds. The dim moonlight illuminated it, and there was really no difference from the past, as if the previous pain was just a dream.

After a short delay, he stood up again and hurried home.No matter how incomprehensible the matter is, it is much better than enduring the pain with the wound. The most important thing right now is to go back quickly, and only when you see Bai Li can you feel relieved.

When he was walking on the return road and was about to continue on his way, there was a sudden exclamation from the front: "Ah Qing!"

You Qing's spirit was shaken, and when he raised his head, he saw Bai Li running over in a hurry, before he could make a sound, he suddenly threw his arms around his neck and rushed forward, his excited voice was close to his ears: "Ah Qing! Are you alright?"

You Qing was stunned for a moment, quickly pulled him away, looked him up and down, and immediately turned down his face: "Why are you only wearing such a little?"

Bai Li looked down at his middle coat, and smiled nonchalantly: "It's nothing to worry about, my typhoid fever is much better, and I'm in good spirits now!"

You Qing unbuttoned the clothes on his body, regardless of his struggle, insisted on covering him, then grabbed his arm and tucked it into the sleeve, struggling with him while asking: "Are you all right? Has anyone come here today?" go home?"

"No." Bai Li shook his head, and was about to take off his clothes, but was held down by You Qing, who looked up at him with a sullen face, curled his lips and obediently fastened his belt.

"Why are you out so late? What are you doing here?"

"Looking for you!" Bai Li raised his head, his gaze hidden under the moonlight, and he nervously inspected his face, but his tone was extremely relaxed, "It was dark when I woke up, and you haven't come back yet, so I don't worry. I went out to look for it."

Hearing what he said, You Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe he escaped the catastrophe by running away from the yamen servant who came to arrest him, his complexion eased, although he hated the county magistrate, he also knew that he had nothing to do now. Powerless, I had no choice but to avoid it first, and said softly: "Go back quickly, we will leave for the capital tomorrow."

Bai Li's heart skipped a beat, he was obviously afraid of going to the capital, but now he knew that You Qing must be worried that the county magistrate would make trouble again, although he had a way to stop the county magistrate, but he wanted to follow You Qing's wishes, thought for a while, and asked in surprise Said: "So fast? Don't you still have to sell calligraphy and paintings to save money?"

"I have some pocket money, which is enough for the time being, and I can save it while on the road."

"En." Bai Li smiled and nodded at him.

After returning, the two had a simple dinner and went to bed to rest.

Bai Li knew that You Qing had suffered a lot, and was even more puzzled by the disappearance of his wound. He tossed and turned on the bed but couldn't ask directly, and would miss the answer whenever he asked.

You Qing experienced so many things in one day, so naturally he couldn't fall asleep, lying on the bed and staring straight at the tent in the dark night, and hearing Bai Li's movements, he turned sideways and looked in his direction: "What's wrong? "

Bai Li stood up and looked at him, and asked, "Ah Qing, why did you come back so late? You didn't even eat dinner, did the county magistrate treat you harshly?"

"No harsh treatment." You Qing smiled silently, "We talked for a long time, so I came back late. But he wanted me to be engaged to his daughter on purpose. I refused, which annoyed him. Of course, I didn't eat dinner. came back."

Bai Li heard that this was completely contrary to what the two yamen servants said, and knew that he was probably not telling the truth, so he sniffled depressedly, and lay down again: "Oh..."

Bai Li tossed and tossed for a while, heard You Qing's breathing gradually calmed down, wondering if he had fallen asleep, so he called out in a low voice: "Ah Qing."

No one responded, probably fell asleep.Bai Li squeezed his hands under the quilt, and finally pulled them out uncontrollably, covering You Qing's cheeks, as light as wings, for fear of waking him up.He touched the left and right sides, but couldn't find anything unusual, and finally had no choice but to shrink back into the bed with a full of doubts in his heart.

In the darkness, You Qing suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were clear and mixed with doubts, after a long time he felt that Bai Li had fallen asleep, and then he gradually lost consciousness and fell asleep.

This night, You Qing once again fell into a chaotic dream. In the dream, the smoke was still lingering, and the plum blossom petals swirling wantonly covered the sky and covered the sky, even blinding his eyes. When he closed his eyes, his nose was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and vague human voices wafted from his ears. Voice.

"Presumptuous! You can break into this forbidden place at will? To save this thing, you have to pass through Grandpa first!"

"You have made a big mistake, yet you still dare to utter wild words here, you are quite courageous!"

"Child, lower your head and confess your sin obediently. The old man is waiting for you to come back and play chess with me. Don't be stubborn."

"Little thing, is there any injury? Show me quickly."

"Woooooooo..."

"I don't know if you will remember me in the future, but it doesn't matter if you don't remember, if I can escape, I will definitely come to you."

In the noise, all kinds of people's voices were disturbing, but there were a few words that floated into my ears strangely and clearly. After a long time in a daze, the chaotic petals gradually stopped, the sky and the earth fell into chaos, and the white mist became thicker and thicker. The whole person is wrapped in it and gradually squeezed.

A sense of suffocation followed, and the chest was pressed down like a heavy stone, and every breath was very difficult.

You Qing was awakened by the feeling of suffocation. When he woke up, he was in a trance for a moment. He seemed to remember the scene in the dream, but he couldn't remember it clearly. He just felt confused. The feeling of suffocation and suffocation still persisted, and he lowered his eyes to his chest in doubt, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

It was broad daylight at this time, Bai Li was like a sleeping animal, lying heavily on his body, not only the weight of half of his body was pressed on him, but also the quilt wrapped in him was rolled up and pressed on him, his elbows stuck out of the quilt, Hold him and sleep very soundly.

It might be better if it was just a person lying down, but he added another quilt, and You Qing took a deep breath to fill his chest, and he finally recovered a lot. He couldn't bear to wake him up, so he just held on to His wrists tucked him under the covers.Unexpectedly, Bai Li woke up unexpectedly.

Blinking his eyes in a daze, Bai Li buried his head and arched his head. He seemed to feel very comfortable, and stretched out his hand to hug him even under the quilt. After hugging him for a while, he gradually regained consciousness, smacking his lips, looked up and laughed. : "Ah Qing, are you awake?"

You Qing smiled, and raised his hand to touch his forehead: "It's really good."

"Of course! I won't lie to you!" Bai Li said confidently, and suddenly remembered that he had just flinched last night, so he quickly buried his head to cover his expression, and then pampered him with enjoyment, thinking You Qing was still lying on his side, although he was puzzled, he couldn't help laughing silently with his eyebrows bent.

You Qing touched his head, suddenly he was reluctant to let go of the smooth and soft touch of the hair, and subconsciously touched it several times, until Bai Li suddenly moved away from him before regaining consciousness, looking outside The sunny day brightened up the depressed mood last night, and said with a smile, "It's time to get up."

After retracting his side, Bai Li kept his head buried. He had touched his head several times before, and occasionally his fingers slid past his ears and neck. He struggled with himself, but didn't hear his words. It wasn't until You Qing passed him and got out of bed first to get dressed that he came back to his senses, settled down again, and then dropped his eyes and got out of the bed.

After waking up, he boiled water and cooked porridge. While You Qing was washing his face, Bai Li squatted beside him, staring at his face without blinking, looking very seriously, even more serious than when he was practicing calligraphy.

You Qing looked at his slightly probing eyes, felt a little puzzled in his heart, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Did you see the flowers?"

"En!" Bai Li nodded, "I can see the flowers!"

You Qing couldn't help but find it funny, and also squatted down: "Then you can see enough."

"Okay!" Bai Li was gearing up immediately, and raised his hands to hold his face. Seeing the smile in his eyes, he couldn't help being more courageous. He groped around his face again with his fingers. After groping, he retracted his hands and hugged his knees. Looking at him with a smile, "Ah Qing, your face is prettier than mine!"

You Qing was stunned, the disgusting face of the county magistrate, and what he had said suddenly appeared in his mind: "I heard that your book boy is so beautiful, I think the magistrate will be quite satisfied with this gift !"

Seeing his sudden change of expression, Bai Li became nervous: "What's wrong?"

You Qing quickly put aside the chaotic memories in his mind, and smiled: "Looking good is not necessarily a good thing. When you go out, you should be more careful in everything, you know?"

"I know!" Bai Li responded readily with a smile.

You Qing pulled him to stand up: "It's time for breakfast, and we'll leave after eating."

"What about the chickens behind the house?"

"Please leave it to Aunt Zhang."

"Oh!"

On this day, You Qing and Bai Li simply packed up and saluted, greeted each other one by one with their neighbors, and then set foot on the road to the capital together.

At the same time, rumors spread around the foot of Yanshan Mountain, saying that there was a ghost in the county government office, and the county magistrate and a group of government officials were all stimulated. They went crazy overnight and didn't even recognize anyone. not understand.The daughter of the county magistrate's family was so depressed about this incident that she became bedridden with illness.

After more than a month, a new county magistrate came to the county government to replace the original county magistrate, and people in the surrounding villages began to look forward to it, wondering what the new magistrate would do to this land.
