The two talked about appreciating the moon, but were afraid it would be too cold, so they went back to the woodshed where it was warmer.

Xiao Ziyi pulled a bench and sat down, smiling and patting the seat next to him, "Come here."

"Hehe." Jiang Yun sat next to him with gritted teeth and yawned, "Xiao Ziyi, I have discovered that even though we have traveled to this place, not everything goes smoothly."

"On the contrary, there are more things that are not going well. And there is no mobile phone to make calls or video chats. I miss Brother Yun."

Xiao Ziyi stretched out his hand and pressed his head against his shoulder, comforting him, "Don't you still have Brother Xiao here to accompany you up the mountains and down the rivers? That's not enough."

"And Arong, he spoils you to the point of being lawless and without any bottom line. I suspect that even if you kill someone or burn something, he will help you."

Jiang Yun chuckled, "He really dotes on me. Hehe, are you envious?"

"Yes, yes, I envy you, I envy you."

She raised her hand and pulled his clothes to tighten them, "Don't be too anxious. Ling Yun will be back when things are almost done."

"What you should be thinking about now is, what are we going to do tomorrow?"

"We've already been up the mountain today, how about we really go down to the river tomorrow?"

Jiang Yun smiled and nodded, snuggling into his arms again. Although the woodshed wasn't cold, it wasn't as warm as the house. "Okay, we can try ice fishing and come back to make soup."

Xiao Ziyi hugged him tightly, "Are you cold?"

"Kind of."

"Pfft." Xiao Ziyi suddenly laughed, "If your husband saw this, he would probably be jealous again."

Jiang Yun also laughed, "Brother Yun has treated you much better than before. He was really jealous before."

"Hahaha, after all, I've been delivering letters to you two for a few months, so I do have some credit."

“Great credit.”

The two chatted casually. Jiang Yun yawned continuously. Her eyes could no longer hold back their sleep and she was about to fall asleep in Xiao Ziyi's arms.

Xiao Ziyi looked down at him, the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously, he tilted his head slightly and stopped when the corner of his lips was about to touch his red lips, then turned and pressed a kiss on his forehead.

Xiaoyun, I will always protect you.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Ziyi closed his eyes drowsily.

"Clap."

Hearing the sound of firewood falling, Xiao Ziyi opened his eyes and saw a man in black sneaking into the woodroom, picking up the firewood and walking out, accidentally kicking over a piece of firewood.

He suddenly covered his mouth, then immediately covered Jiang Yun's mouth. They were sitting in the woodshed, far away from the firewood pile, and the man in black probably couldn't guess that someone was in the woodshed in the middle of the night.

After several trips, a lot of firewood was moved out, and the movements were quick and hasty, so no one noticed them.

Jiang Yun opened her eyes with some discomfort as her mouth was covered, and looked at the people coming in and out, thinking that it was Ah Sheng who got up in the middle of the night to add firewood to the kang bed.

Seeing that he woke up, Xiao Ziyi leaned close to his ear and whispered softly, then pointed at four or five dark shadows outside. He didn't dare to say anything, so he could only write on his hand, "Killer".

Jiang Yun was so frightened that all her sleepiness disappeared. She shivered with fear and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Then there was a burst of flames, accompanied by a burning smell. Jiang Yun's eyes widened, "Brother, my brother is still in the house."

Xiao Ziyi hugged him tightly and covered his mouth for fear that he would make any sound. It was not until the fire could no longer be controlled and there was no movement in the room that the black shadows left.

After waiting for a while and making sure that no one had returned, the two ran out of the woodshed.

Seeing the raging fire, Jiang Yun's eyes were red from crying. She ran to the water tank to scoop water to put out the fire. She poured water one bucket after another, but there was no movement at all. She couldn't help crying and shouting, "Brother, brother, please come out quickly..."

“Xiao Yun, don’t scream, or you might call back those men in black.” Xiao Ziyi came over and covered his mouth, advising him anxiously. Seeing him nod, he continued to put out the fire.

When the water tank was empty, Xiao Ziyi hurried to the well to fetch water.

The men in black poured oil all around the house and the fire was very big. The two of them could do nothing about it.

Xiao Ziyi suddenly dropped the bucket, pulled Jiang Yun and ran. Sure enough, the next moment, several men in black climbed over the wall and chased after them with swords in hand.

The two were forced to retreat to the front of the burning house. The flames burned their skin and reflected their panicked and frightened faces.

The leading man in black pointed to the burning house and said, "I'll give you two choices. Either go in by yourself, or I'll chop you up and throw you in."

Xiao Ziyi held Jiang Yun in his arms and calmed himself down. "Everyone, I am the cousin of King Chen An. I don't know where I have offended you, but you want to kill me."

Why haven't the guards he brought with him arrived yet? He needs to delay time.

The leading man in black pointed his knife at Jiang Yun in his arms, and his meaning was very clear.

Jiang Yun was so scared that she was shaking and bit her lower lip. Since it was because of him, she couldn't hurt anyone else. She wanted to break free from Xiao Ziyi's embrace, but the latter refused.

"Xiao Ziyi, their target is me. I have already killed my brother and Brother Asheng. I can't hurt you again."

"Your target is me, don't hurt him, let him go."

The men in black looked at each other and shook their heads, "If you don't remove the roots, they will grow again in the spring breeze."

"Don't think anyone will come to rescue you. The guards you brought with you have all been poisoned by the smoke."

Xiao Ziyi was shocked. Is he going to die here today?

I looked down at the person in my arms. He clearly said he would protect you, but he was slapped in the face so quickly.

"Xiao Yun, are you afraid?"

Jiang Yun shook her head with red eyes. The tears on her face had long been dried by the flames. She felt guilty and afraid, and she missed Ling Yun. What would he do if she died?

He turned to look at the man in black, "Can you let me be clear? Who wants to kill me?"

The man in black remained silent and did not answer, but just took another step forward.

Jiang Yun was a little overwhelmed and pushed Xiao Ziyi hard, "I beg you, let him go, I won't run away, I just beg you not to kill him."

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Xiao, please go ahead." The man in black raised his sword and refused to compromise.

Jiang Yun's dried tears burst out again, and she broke down and cried, "Xiao Ziyi, I'm sorry, I hurt you."

"Wow, Xiao Ziyi, if only I hadn't dragged you here, you wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing."

Xiao Ziyi wiped the cigarette ash and tears from his face and smiled calmly, "Don't talk nonsense. It's worth it to die with you."

"Xiao Ziyi..." Jiang Yun looked at him with tears in her eyes. She suddenly took a step forward, hugged his waist, and buried her head in his arms. "I'm sorry. It's all my fault."

He suddenly raised his head and glared at the man in black fiercely, "You bunch of lackeys, bastards, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost."

"Hahahaha, good scolding." Xiao Ziyi laughed calmly, not looking like a dying man at all.

With trembling fingers, he held Jiang Yun's face, his throat rolling, and he lowered his head to gently kiss her slightly pale lips, and then separated them, "Xiao Yun, don't be afraid, I'm with you."

After saying this, Jiang Yun was shocked. She directly took his hand and rushed into the house facing the fire.
