I Am Your Father

Thinking of this, Li Zhi finally asked a few important things on his mind, and calmed down temporarily.

Then, listening to the creaking sound of the pine wood wheels constantly running over the dust outside, the atmosphere inside the car was quiet for a while, only the faint light came in through the cracks in the car curtains, which showed that it was not night.

Then his thoughts continued to fly, and when Li Zhi was hesitating to find Chu Yue in the next step, he suddenly felt that Si Jie took his hand back.

Reflexively wanting to follow that trace of warmth, Li Zhi raised his eyes in panic, and saw Si Jie pick up the bamboo tube containing water beside him, scooped out a little with a small spoon, and sent it to his chapped lips.

After being in a coma for two days, he woke up and was so absorbed in thinking about other things that he forgot to ask for water.

And he wanted to drink a few gulps from the bamboo tube to quench his thirst, but he just made a move when Si Jie moved the bamboo tube away, stared at him unquestionably, and signaled him to open his mouth to swallow the small amount of water in the small spoon.

Guessing that he was concerned about his waist injury, Li Zhi opened his mouth obediently. After a few mouthfuls, his throat felt a little comfortable, and he looked at Si Jie intently and said: "Master Si, I seem to be hungry..."

"Only drink water today."

While talking, he didn't even give him any water, Si Jie covered the bamboo tube tightly and said in a low voice.

"..." Seeing his expressionless face, Li Zhi licked away a drop of wetness from the corner of his mouth, and finally remembered that he hadn't explained all this to Si Jie yet.

Sure enough, before he could open his mouth, Si Jie had obviously endured for a long time, his eyes darkened, he put the bamboo tube behind him, and said in a low voice: "If it wasn't for the child's lack of strength, if you went deeper, you would have died."

"I……"

"You already know the damage to the inner cavity of the broken heart lock, but you are still willing to take the risk to exchange identities with Jin Li."

"And you have not only that one knife wound on your body, but also many other wounds, which are left by you breaking into twelve outbuildings alone in order to get Qianjihua." It was not a question, Si Jie said with certainty , and seemed to see that Li Zhi was eager to defend his nervousness, and couldn't bear it, he gently pressed his unconscious shoulder with one hand, his tone slowed down a little, and finally said, "I know Chu Yue will definitely use Yan Xiu and Yun Ai's Life is threatening you, I am as worried about their safety as you are, but if it is at the cost of your life, you at least... have to discuss with me, maybe there are other ways to solve it."

"No," Li Zhi hurriedly said after hearing Si Jie's words, "I'm not what you think this time."

Trying to straighten out his thoughts, Li Zhi said without blinking: "It was my negligence that the Second Uncle Ghost kidnapped Ah Xiu and the brat, but I never thought of sacrificing anyone's life, including myself."

"Then, the heart-breaking lock is really unavoidable. After all, we don't plan to regenerate. I thought... If I could save the little koi's life, it would not be unbearable for me, but I didn't expect that two things would happen. About the pillar."

While talking, he looked at Si Jie's expression, seeing that there was no improvement, Li Zhi added two more words impatiently: "Heaven and earth conscience, I really didn't mean to make you almost become a widow."

He even confessed: "The most inappropriate thing is that when I persuaded the little koi to escape, in order to let him leave, I lied about discussing with you and dragged you into it...but don't worry, none of us Talk nonsense."

While excited, Li Zhi habitually wanted to pat his chest to reassure him, but Si Jie grabbed his hand just in time. He was taken aback, not knowing whether it meant the other party was not so angry or what, he felt apprehensive, and licked his dry lips , looking longingly at the bamboo tube behind Si Jie.

"After talking so much, I'm thirsty again..." He said truthfully.

However, seeing Si Jie sitting silently for a while, he picked up the bamboo tube and quickly opened his mouth, only to find that Si Jie had only taken a sip by himself in embarrassment.

Thinking about what kind of cruel punishment this is, he sighed severely, but unexpectedly, a shadow was cast in front of his eyes, and it was Si Jie who lowered his head and placed a comforting kiss on his lips, and carefully passed the water to him, calming his anxious heart wet.

"Whether you are born or not, you can't do anything."

Following Si Jie's opening, Li Zhi felt warm in his heart, and then he heard Si Jie say: "But according to your opinion, you told Jin Li that you and I agreed to exchange identities?"

"Well, otherwise he won't rest assured..."

"Then why did I meet him when I went back to the inn, and when he saw me, he turned around and ran away?"

What?Still immersed in Si Jie's lingering movements just now, Li Zhi didn't understand the deep meaning of it for a moment, but frowned slightly and grasped another key point: "You...where did you see the little koi?"

--------------------

Happy Holidays with a little belated Christmas candy! [Also, yes, the little koi is black. 】

87. Right or wrong

"Inn."

As Si Jie's determined words fell, Li Zhi stared at him in astonishment, his eyes full of surprise.

Not to mention that he only told Jin Li to go to the cave near Guitou Village to wait for him. He never mentioned their residence to Jin Li. It's right to pass others, how do you know the inn where he stayed temporarily?What are you going to do again?Why did you run away when you saw Si Jie?

"..." This series of questions made Li Zhi's heart beat very fast. He wanted to find a suitable reason for this. After all, judging from everything after he reunited with Jin Li, Jin Li was only thinking of him, so he had no reason to doubt him.

However, no matter what, he couldn't connect these things in a reasonable way. He really couldn't explain clearly. He just looked at Si Jie and didn't know how to proceed.

"The worst outcome," Si Jie said at this time, "is that since he was arrested at the beginning, he has discussed the countermeasures with the person behind him. This time, all factions and Guitou Village will suffer losses, which is also within his expectation. , even... Even you have become part of the plan."

"It's impossible. I told him that the man was using him to take revenge. There was another reason for his master's death—"

"Are you sure, he really doesn't know this?"

Li Zhi raised his eyes suddenly: "What do you mean?"

But he stopped answering, Si Jie forced to maintain a calm expression towards Shang Li Zhi, paused for a while, and then said slowly: "Since you can't accept some things, you don't need to think about them, after all, they have already happened."

Apparently, this time Li Zhi heard what Si Jie's words meant, and tossed and turned in his heart, but he couldn't think of a rebuttal. After a while, he only emphasized with difficulty: "He won't plot against me."

"En." With a low reply, Si Jie suddenly fell silent.

Seeing that Si Jie's lowered eyebrows and eyes seemed to be deliberately avoided, as if he was sure that he would not agree with his conjecture, so he didn't want to talk to him anymore, Li Zhi's heart tightened, and he couldn't help it. Explained: "His master Fu Han... together with Shen Han, died to protect me back then, so no matter what the facts are, I... I..."

Before he finished speaking, Si Jie frowned, and looked up at him again.

"This time the various factions are fighting with Guitou Village, even if he deliberately provoked it to reap the benefits of the fisherman, it has nothing to do with you. I will not force you to express your position on this point."

After thinking for a while, Si Jie continued: "But I want to ask you, if he really conspired with the person behind him for some reason, the purpose of going to the inn was actually to deal with Yan Xiu or Yun Ai while you and I were both busy. Unfavorable, it just happened that they were taken away by Chu Yue first, and I suddenly appeared again, so he ran away with a guilty conscience when he saw me, and the knife you took for him really took your life, you... also You won't regret it, will you?"

Unexpectedly, Si Jie suddenly put all the seemingly outrageous but most possible inferences in front of him in a deep voice, and Li Zhi's bloodless face suddenly became a little paler.

"I didn't want to mention this matter to you again. You have been with him since you were a child, so it is understandable to choose to believe him, but if you still feel that you owe him something because of the deaths of the other two, you can give up the bottom line for him. Difficult to recognize."

Seeing Si Jie speaking in such a blunt tone, the most entangled corner of his heart was whipped mercilessly, and he frowned sharply, subconsciously wanting to argue with him, but when he thought of the impulsive indiscriminate words in the past, he was afraid No matter how the trouble got out of hand, I had to force myself to calm down, and wanted to express my true thoughts to him urgently.

Unexpectedly, Si Jie's voice softened a little, and he seemed to realize that the atmosphere was too dignified, so he spoke hoarsely first.

"However... I have never experienced your past. Although I don't agree with it, I will respect your decision."

"..."

I really didn't expect that Yi Sijie's temperament would back down so far this time. Li Zhi stared dumbly at his steady gaze without any hesitation, and was stunned for a long time, until the carriage seemed to be passing through a very rough mountain road, and it suddenly bumped violently a few times. Li Zhi was thrown to one side, but at the same time, his unbalanced body was forcefully embraced.

"It was my mistake, I didn't think carefully." He didn't hesitate any longer, and grabbed Si Jie's cloud robe tightly in an intimate position leaning against Si Jie's arms, and said in a low voice.

He only felt the palms on his waist move slightly, and when the carriage drove through the uneven road, he heard Si Jie respond softly: "You are not wrong, you are just better than many people..."

"You, listen to me..." Now Li Zhi was amused by the praise, and then felt guilty, not daring to be too happy, so he stammered, "Actually, there is one more thing, I I just ignored it on purpose and didn't tell you."

"……what?"

"It's Uncle Ghost, he, he should simply think that Jin Li was caught in order to avenge the Jiuji Sect, so one of the conditions in exchange for them is to rescue Jin Li and ask me to bring him to him within seven days .”

"One of the conditions?" Obviously hearing the most critical message in the words, Si Jie asked sharply.

"As for the other thing, yes, it is to kill you, but also to chop off
