Qinghu drove the carriage quietly, and soon the two of them appeared at the edge of an extremely quiet abandoned dock.
He looked around vigilantly until he was sure that there was no one behind them. Then he immediately jumped out of the carriage and carried Lin Mengya, who had fallen asleep, out of the carriage.
Fortunately, Baili Rui had added some ingredients to the antidote pills that could help her sleep.
Otherwise, Lin Mengya, who had a heavy heart, would not fall asleep so easily.
After looking around, Qinghu confirmed the direction. Then he tiptoed and flew into the air.
He landed lightly on a small boat. Without saying goodbye to the boatman, he bent down and got into the cabin.
On the shore, someone had already come out to deal with the small carriage that they came in.
The boatman nodded, and the small boat immediately floated away in the river.
After a while, the abandoned dock became quiet again. It seemed that no one had ever visited.
"You're awake? Do you want to eat anything? Are you thirsty? "
Lin Mengya didn't know how long she had slept.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Qinghu close to her.
She shook her head. She hadn't had a good appetite recently. Usually, she just ate some plain porridge and side dishes. Now she had no appetite.
"Where are we?"
Her teacher's sedative was really powerful. She almost didn't feel anything when she was brought to the boat by Qinghu.
She looked up and found that the ceiling, which was painted with flowers and birds, was a little shaky.
But the room was extremely spacious, and all kinds of furniture were arranged. It looked like a modern luxury cruise ship.
"We've been walking for a day and a night. You slept well and didn't remember anything. Don't worry, I booked this boat in someone else's name. It's very fast, and he won't know that we'll be so high-profile. "
Qinghu's face returned to his unique frivolous smile, but now in Lin Mengya's eyes, she felt very sad.
Those who didn't know would never face these fears.
But Qinghu was forced to accompany her to experience it from beginning to end.
She only felt sorry for him in her heart.
"I'm sorry for dragging you along."
She stretched out her small hands and hugged Qinghu's neck.
Her cool and smooth forehead was pressed against his. Lin Mengya's eyes were filled with sorrow.
"It's okay, I'm volunteering. In this world, you are my only relative. If I don't accompany you, who will? "
His feelings for her had long been fermented into mellow familial affection.
Lin Mengya was not only his sister, but also his daughter. This was the first time in his life that he had ever felt such a precious emotion.
What he had left behind were too few human emotions. Therefore, he could only give it to her alone.
"Damned fox, I can't cry anymore."
With a helpless tone, a faint voice rang in his ears.
Qinghu immediately grabbed her shoulders, only to see that there was not even a drop of tear in her eyes, which were filled with sorrow to the bone.
"How could that be? Isn't the antidote that Baili Rui gave you still effective? "
For the first time, Qinghu's eyes were filled with anxiety and panic.
Lin Mengya shook her head calmly, as if she was not surprised at all by this result.
"It can be of some use, but it can only delay it. Now, some of the bigger movements, I can still manage to do it. But it seems that I can't do small things like crying. "
Lin Mengya raised her hands, and Qinghu found that her movements were as clumsy as a child.
And her face seemed to be frozen. Except for a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak, even a simple expression was very difficult for her.
"Don't be afraid, we'll be there soon. Don't worry, I'll definitely cure you! "
Tightly, he held her in his arms.
Even Qinghu did not expect that her condition would deteriorate so quickly.
Even the antidote that Baili Rui had carefully formulated could not make Lin Mengya feel better. Qinghu's heart was also in a mess.
"I'm not afraid, so you don't have to be afraid either."
Lin Mengya closed her eyes and felt that her body seemed to be turning into a wooden figure little by little.
What about her life? Would it quietly disappear, or would it eventually return to what it used to be?
She did not dare to think about it, nor did she have the strength to think about it.
Because of Qinghu's existence, the journey was not so difficult.
Compared with their previous tiring journey, this time she and Qinghu seemed to be on a sightseeing tour.
Every day, Qinghu would hold her in his arms and watch the sunrise and sunset outside. He talked to her about the local customs on both sides of the Straits, although she repeatedly said that she could still walk. But one time, when she suddenly lost the strength in her legs and collapsed in front of Qinghu, he resolutely made her a person who did not use her feet when she went out.
Moreover, she did not know where this guy got the news from, but he actually used a kind of medicinal oil to massage her limbs every day.
She had to admit that the teacher's antidote had greatly eased the signs of her body gradually becoming stiff.
She knew that Qinghu was not feeling well, so she tried to ask some lighter questions. So that the atmosphere between them would no longer be filled with sadness.
If she really passed away, at least she could leave everyone a happy memory.
"Qinghu, will we reach Yang City tomorrow morning?"
At night, the river was quiet, and only the sound of the oars moving on the water could be heard.
Lin Mengya leaned against the window and looked out at the big round moon with fascination.
"Yes, we will arrive at dawn. At that time, we will disembark to buy some things. What about you? Do you want to come with us? "
Sitting in front of her, Qinghu was massaging her calves with his warm palms.
These were the things that he had to do before going to bed for the next few days.
Although he knew that Lin Mengya's condition was not good, he still felt that he should do something.
"Of course I want to go. I heard from Baizhi that there are many delicious food in Yang City. That girl wanted to come here to eat to her heart's content when she was young. As a foodie, she treated this place as a holy land. "
Thinking of the greedy and cute Baizhi, Lin Mengya smiled with her eyes curved.
They had grown up together, and Baizhi had suffered a lot for her.
Later on, when life became better, that girl did not want anything, as long as she bought a lot of delicious food for her.
It was so good to have such a simple and true wish.
"Then I will bring you to have a taste tomorrow. You can bring them here in the future. Sigh, why do all the people in your courtyard love to eat so much? It must be because you are not a good master. "
After the massage, Qinghu's eyes were smiling, but his hand landed gently on an acupoint on Lin Mengya's calves.
His fingers pressed down hard. A few days ago, Lin Mengya would feel some pain, but now there was no reaction at all.
Once again, his heart was filled with worry. If this went on, it seemed that whether she could make it to the Kingdom of Dongxia was a problem.
"Alright, go to bed early. We will disembark early tomorrow morning."
He quietly put Lin Mengya's calves back and carried her back to the bed.
Lin Mengya was a little tired. The moment her head touched the pillow, she fell into a deep sleep.
Looking at her sleeping face with a complicated expression, Qinghu could not take his eyes off her for a long time.
In his heart, he made up his mind. No matter what the price, he must save her!
His ears seemed to have picked up some movement. He got up warily and in the blink of an eye, he appeared outside the cabin.
He looked warily at the figure on the deck, who was not there just now. A cold aura exploded from his body.
However, the black figure was not moved at all. Instead, he stood there quietly, like a night owl.
"I don't want to fight with you. Don't worry, I have no evil intentions towards the woman in there. I'm just here to bring you a message. "
The voice under the black robe was unexpectedly hoarse.
However, Qinghu did not relax because of the person's explanation.
"Why did you come here?"
No matter how well the person hid, it could not escape Qinghu's eyes.
The person was not surprised at all, but he had no intention of revealing his identity.
"I'm here to tell you that the Third Elder has noticed the secret of the woman in your house. However, the President is in seclusion, so he has not been informed. If you really care about her, you'd better run away with her to a place where no one can find you. Perhaps, you can save her life. Otherwise, do you think you can protect her? "
Qinghu's pupils contracted slightly in an instant.
He did not expect that the secret, which he had covered up for so long, would still be known.
In an instant, his long eyes were filled with anger. When he looked at the other party, his gaze was also tainted with a hint of killing intent.
"Don't look at me like that. I did not do it. Moreover, I am not stupid enough to use this information to gain their trust. Perhaps there's a mole by your side. But don't worry, I have covered up this matter for you. After all, a legend is just a legend. No one knows whether it is true or not. You'd better behave yourself. "
Before the last sentence could dissipate in the wind, the black shadow disappeared.
Apart from Qinghu, no one else saw that figure, and no one knew what they meant by what they said.
"What's coming is finally coming?"
If it was possible, Qinghu would not let Lin Mengya know that secret for the rest of his life.
It was a cruel and bloodthirsty secret.
However, if this matter were to be known by the President, it would likely lead to a reign of terror.
