Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 232 May You Know My Heart

The heavy rain showed no signs of stopping, and the raindrops hit the window lattice, making a dense sound like drums.

Shen Yuexi lit the last charcoal brazier, sat down on the floor, propped her wet body back with cold hands, tilted her head and panted, "I got... saved."

Finally, the downpour stopped.Once she relaxed, she felt that all the strength in her body was going to be sucked out.

This room is located on the second floor of the Obscure Inn, and it is one of the best rooms in the entire inn. When Mrs. Li and her mother and daughter came here last time, she booked this room for herself.This time she escaped here on a rainy night, she habitually chose this place again.

And as the only place to eat and stay in the town, she felt that the inn kitchen should be able to find some ingredients.

Three fiery charcoal basins illuminated the originally pitch-black room red.Xiao Zhuo was sitting on the floor like her, with water dripping from his sleeves, steaming under the charcoal fire.The wet black hair stuck to his handsome cheek, and he was looking at her with his head tilted.

Shen Yuexi glanced at Xiao Zhuo, he was still staring at her blankly, and a small flame of anger burst into his heart immediately.

What a man who makes her worry...

In the rainy field, she used all the methods she could think of, but Xiao Zhuo just refused to move a step.

He was very quiet and didn't yell, just looked at her steadily all the time.His dull eyes were a little probing, as if he couldn't recognize who she was, and he seemed to be trying to see some secrets from her face.From Shen Yuexi's point of view, it was a bit like a stubborn student who had encountered a problem and was struggling until he figured it out.

But she didn't have time to explore what Xiao Zhuo was thinking, nothing was as important as saving her life.

In desperation, she thought of a trick.Doctor Hua told her before leaving.

"Don't you want to drink chicken soup?" Shen Yuexi seduced Xiao Zhuo in a coaxing tone, pointing in the direction of Wusheng Town, "Just follow me obediently, and I will make chicken soup for you."

These words really had an effect, probably because he wanted to drink chicken soup so much that he was willing to leave with her.

Shen Yuexi walked in front, and the two of them walked through the muddy road into the Yunsheng Inn, and walked up the creaking stairs to the second floor in the dark.Fortunately, the charcoal basin, flint and charcoal are all available in the room, which saves you the trouble of looking for them.

After being hungry all day and being drenched in the rain for so long, she felt that her belly was about to stick to her back.

Now that I'm tired and hungry, my back is sore and my legs are sore, I won't be angry with him anymore.

She stretched out a small hand in her heart, extinguished the small flame, turned over and got up and said to Xiao Zhuo: "My husband must be hungry, right? You can dry the clothes first, wait for me to clean up the room, and then go to the kitchen downstairs to find some Come eat."

This man is not made of iron. He has an injury on his shoulder and has been drenched in the rain for so long. He must be very hungry.

The charcoal basins in the left and right rooms are all concentrated in this room, and the room is already hot.She opened the window to ventilate first, then took a torch and put it on the charcoal basin to ignite, and lit the lamp on the table in the room to brighten the room.Then tear off the dusty sheets and covers, and replace them with clean mattresses from the cabinet.She must rest here tonight, she doesn't like a dirty room.

Xiao Zhuo didn't open his mouth all this time, watching her busy, suddenly said in a low voice: "Chicken soup."

Shen Yuexi was stunned for a moment, picked up the torch and said in a warm voice: "Okay, I'll go and have a look, my husband is waiting here."

I wanted to say stop being funny, where does the chicken soup come from in this place?He was just coaxing him just now, but this person actually took it seriously.But thinking that Xiao Zhuo was in a daze and was in a daze, she couldn't bear it, so she changed her words.

She carried the torch down the stairs to the kitchen.

In the past, she was very afraid of the dark environment, and only when Xiao Zhuo was by her side did she feel safe.Now she found that she seemed much bolder than before.

The kitchen was empty, with chopped firewood piled under the stove, a small pot on the stove, a few bowls in the pan, and a kitchen knife standing up.

She lowered the torch to see if there were any potatoes on the ground, even if they were sprouts.

I searched for a long time and found nothing.Doing the math, the Jingzhou army attacked here a few years ago, and now several months have passed, and all the ingredients that have been released have rotted away.

Although she was full of disappointment, she still packed up the pots, kitchen knives and other things and took them to the second floor.She was going to die of exhaustion, and she didn't want to go up and down the stairs back and forth.

In the room, Xiao Zhuo was still obediently sitting in front of the charcoal basin, staring at the charcoal fire, not knowing what he was thinking.

Shen Yuexi went to the open window first, washed the dusty pot with the help of the rain, and drank half of the pot of rainwater.Looking back and moving in, I looked at it by light, and there seemed to be many tiny sand grains in the water.You can drink it when it is boiled, but it is not hygienic enough.

"Big Bear, make two liters of pure water." She told Big Bear in her heart.

In this way, you can drink clean boiled water.

She raised up the surrounding area of ​​the charcoal basin, sat on the pot, hugged her knees and stared in a daze at the pure water slowly bubbling strings of tiny bubbles in the pot.

Is it too pitiful to only drink plain water when my stomach is growling with hunger?

"That chicken," Xiao Zhuo looked out of the window and said inappropriately, "It's gone."

Shen Yuexi was stretching out her hand to warm herself by the fire, when she heard what he asked, she almost couldn't help jumping up.

It's really a pot that doesn't open.Let alone chicken, there are not even root vegetable leaves in the kitchen.

She didn't want to be angry, so she simply stood up and walked to the open window, wanting to take a few breaths of fresh air to calm down.

The rain fell from the eaves like broken beads, weaving a rain curtain in front of her eyes.

Wusheng Town has long been an empty town, now she and Xiao Zhuo should be safe.Qiang Lin and the dark guard risked their lives to protect herself and Xiao Zhuo, but she couldn't do anything for them anymore. Living well is the reward for them.

Next, they must find a way to return to Xiaogang Village, which is their home.Doctor Hua insisted on staying, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. His son Hua Duoduo was a doctor anyway, so he could prescribe some medicine for Xiao Zhuo...

While thinking about it, suddenly there was a fluttering sound outside the window, as if a big bird flew in and splashed the rainwater all over her face.Instinctively, she knelt down with her head in her hands, and turned to look into the room.

A colorful pheasant landed on the ground with a green vegetable leaf in its mouth. It exploded its feathers and shook the rain, and then flew out from the open door.

Shen Yuexi thought she was dazzled by hunger and was in a daze, Xiao Zhuo pointed to the door: "That chicken left again."

"It's a real chicken!" Shen Yuexi was overwhelmed with surprise, strength suddenly grew in her body, and she picked up the torch stuck in the door and chased it out.

Under the light of the fire, the pheasant was standing on the railing of the aisle on the second floor, tilting its head and combing its colorful feathers.

It's really not a dream.

It is a majestic and mighty big rooster, with round eyes shining sharply, a pointed beak like a curved silver hook, dark green neck hair covering its neck like a soldier's iron armor, and brown and black feathers all over its body. The powerful claws reminded her of the sharp claws of an eagle, and the long brown tail feathers resembled straight spears.

The three big characters "not to be messed with" are written all over the body.

Shen Yuexi suddenly became timid.

She remembered that when she was in the cave with Xiao Zhuo, it was the same pheasant that played her around, and it was Xiao Zhuo who helped her solve it.Later, in Daliang Village, the hens at Mrs. Lin's house... also Mrs. Lin helped her solve it.

If the chicken she met before was compared to a soldier, then the big rooster in front of her is the general, the commander, and the king of chickens.

Obviously she herself is a weak chicken, but she is faced with the situation of needing to catch a chicken again.

But this time no one helped her.

"You...you have to be good, let me catch you." Shen Yuexi stuck the torch on the wall of the corridor, and slowly stretched out her hands, "My husband wants to drink chicken soup, I promised him."

Before she could approach, the vigilant pheasant spread its wings and flew to the counter near the door downstairs.Fortunately, Shen Yuexi closed the door just after entering.Now pheasants can only fly in the lobby on the first floor.

"Husband wants to drink chicken soup," Shen Yuexi yelled while chasing down the stairs, "Since you have delivered it to your door, don't run away."

As long as she can't fly out of this room, she doesn't believe she can't catch it.

When I ran down the stairs, I was in a hurry, and my legs, which were already extremely sore, went limp. Fortunately, I hugged the handrail in time, so I didn't go straight down the stairs.

The pheasant cooed and flew up again, and landed behind the overturned table in the distance.

Shen Yuexi panted down the stairs, stared at the long tail dangling on the edge of the table, and approached tiptoely: "Don't try to run."

Xiao Zhuo was sitting in the house, and heard the crowing of chickens, the sound of flapping wings, the screams of women, and the sound of knocking over tables and chairs, creating a commotion.Later, the woman actually started to cry, and the more she cried, the louder she became.

Who is crying?
Ever since he stepped out of the barracks, he has been in a daze, and his illusory consciousness once enveloped him like a boundless black mist.The crying that came from the ear gradually dissolved the black mist.It was only because of that cry that his heart suddenly ached.

Although the heartache was uncomfortable, it made his dying heart beat again.

Familiar and unfamiliar scenes reappeared in his mind: he and that person avoided hunting in the ruined temple, he baked eggs for that person in the cave, that person asked him to climb the cliff on the back of a knife, the two People rolled down the hillside together, that person lost consciousness in the river, hugging him so tightly nearly killed both of them...

That person was a shadowy shadow, which he tried to catch but couldn't.But the cry led him to approach the shadow step by step.

He put his hands around his head.

Consciousness gradually became clear, and the rationality that had gone away returned to his body.

Thinking about it, when he thought he had lost everything and had no intention of surviving, it was that person who came back to him again, letting him know that he didn't have nothing...

It's Shen Yuexi.

He has clearly suffered a crushing defeat, lost his status as prince, lost his army, and lost his subordinates.However, Shen Yuexi still stayed by his side, holding the reins of his mount and galloping together, holding his hand to trek in the heavy rain...

Now, for herself, she is dragging her weak and feeble body to compete with what she has always been afraid of.

She couldn't catch the pheasant at all, and she needed his help.

Xiao Zhuo stood up abruptly, and quickly walked out of the door.Just in time to see the tearful Shen Yuexi walking up the stairs.

He held on to the door frame and looked at her, who gradually became clearer.

Her slender body was wrapped in wet clothes, and her dark wet hair hung loosely against her pale, tear-stained cheeks.Her expression was both happy and painful, and she was muttering words without knowing what she was talking about.The pheasant was held tightly in her arms, with one wing spread out to cover her arm.The pheasant obviously didn't want to be caught, it was kicking its claws wildly, and it kept nagging the back of her hand with its beak like a silver hook.

When he got closer, he finally heard what she was talking about.

"Don't peck my face, just peck the back of my hand... woo woo," she muttered while crying, "Woo woo...it hurts."

It turned out that crying so hard was pecked by a pheasant.

He thought she had failed again and needed his help.However, she gave him a big surprise.

Shen Yuexi also saw Xiao Zhuo standing at the door of the room.

There seemed to be something more in his eyes.The eyes that were once two pools of stagnant water now have ripples.

But she can't take care of observing these things carefully now, the chicken in her arms is too strong, and she has to use all her strength to hug it.What was even worse was that the chicken kept pecking at the back of her hand, not only pecking, but also pinching.

It's too embarrassing for a living person to be bullied like this by a chicken.

"Husband... Husband, you go back to the fire, and I'll make chicken soup for you."

As soon as she said this, the pheasant in her arms struggled even harder, and its two paws kicked her lower abdomen violently, breaking free from her arms.

"Chicken soup!" Shen Yuexi knelt on the ground and exclaimed in surprise as she watched the pheasant flying into the air.

After chasing the pheasant for so long, she was exhausted and had no strength left to chase it.

The pheasant just flew in front of Xiao Zhuo, Xiao Zhuo raised his hand and grabbed the pheasant by the neck.With the flash of the kitchen knife, the pheasant's head and body were separated, and Xiao Zhuo threw the headless pheasant on the ground.

Shen Yuexi was overjoyed, and said to Xiao Zhuo, "Husband, how are you?"

From Xiao Zhuo's way of catching the chicken and the speed of swinging the knife, it can be seen that the Xiao Zhuo he is familiar with has returned.

"Well," Xiao Zhuo turned around and said, "I'll clean up later."

Great joy occupied Shen Yuexi's heart, and in an instant she felt that all the previous hard work had been rewarded.There is nothing worse than heartbreak, as long as her husband recovers, she believes everything will be fine.

"No, sir, you are injured, let me clean it up." She got up and bent down to grab the pheasant on the floor.

Unexpectedly, the pheasant turned over and jumped up, spread its wings and flew into the air, the blood from the broken neck was still spraying everywhere.

Shen Yuexi screamed, and the whole person jumped up.

It was so scary, even though its head had been chopped off, this chicken could still fly.

When she recovered from the shock and opened her eyes, she realized that she had thrown herself into Xiao Zhuo's arms.Her arms were tightly around his neck, and her legs were even more clamped around his waist, completely hanging on Xiao Zhuo's body.

"It scared me to death." She shyly wiped away her tears with one hand.

In order to prove that what she said was true, she took Xiao Zhuo's hand and pressed it on her chest, "Look how hard my heart is beating."

Xiao Zhuo didn't say a word, he walked to the bed with one hand supporting her light body, laid her on it, and roughly tore off her clothes.

Shen Yuexi stared at him blankly, thinking that Xiao Zhuo just didn't want her to wear wet clothes.But it took only a moment for her to react.She clearly saw that the eyes of the man in front of her were ignited with fiery flames again.

She stretched out her hand to hook Xiao Zhuo's neck, and offered her lips...
