In Hedong Village, a flash of lightning illuminated the inside of the house.

Shen Chou, who had his eyes closed on the kang, suddenly opened his eyes, and his originally gentle eyes were filled with gloom.

"Xiao Chou!?"

"you're awake?"

Yu Dehou's happy voice rang in his ears, and a cold light flashed in Shen Chou's eyes!

Xiao Chou!? This lowly person was incredibly bold, actually daring to call him that. It looked like he really didn't want to live anymore.

"Hey! I don't know if Jingyue has received the call from Ruyue. You said it wouldn't rain early or late, but it rained when Ruyue was on the road."

"I hope the rain stops so my baby daughter doesn't get wet, but I also hope it gets heavier so the drought is alleviated."

"It's so hot this time that even the water in the river is almost drying up."

Yu Dehou's chattering brought Shen Chou back to his senses. He seemed to have some impression, but he remembered that Yu Ruyue's parents were more cowardly than the other. Not only did they sell their daughter, but later they even sold their son. They were completely different from the father in front of him who was worried about his daughter. Could it be that the little devil's parents really followed him?

This way we can’t kill people rashly?

wrong!

He sat up suddenly and asked, "You said this is the first rain of this summer?"

Yu Dehou nodded, "Yes!"

Shen Chou hurriedly asked, "Where is Yu Ruyue?"

Yu Dehou sighed, "She went to Liuzhou Prefecture to discuss something!"

"broken!"

Shen Chou lifted the quilt and was about to go out.

Yu Dehou quickly stopped the man and said, "Xiao Chou, where are you going? You are still sick."

"Hurry! Go back quickly, you'll be fine when Ruyue comes back."

Shen Chou picked up the coat on the bed and put it on carelessly. He ignored the pain in his heart, shook off Yu Dehou's hand and rushed into the rain. "No! It's going to hail soon. I have to take her back."

Yu Dehou was puzzled. "What? Hail? This is clearly..."

"Oh! Lotus! Hurry up and get them all up. Quickly take everything out of the noodle shop. It looks like it's hailstorming outside."

Hehua and the others quickly put on their clothes and put away all the things outside that they were afraid of being smashed.

The hailstones were originally as big as rice grains, but after only half an incense stick of time, they had grown to the size of the tip of a mother's finger.

People were so anxious that they were running around in circles.

"It's been so long, why hasn't Xiao Chou come back yet? Where is he going to find someone?"

"What if you get hit on the head by hail and become stupid?"

Liang Shulan was also very anxious, "I wonder if my sweet baby has found a place to hide from the rain?"

At this time, Yu Ruyue and a few others had already driven the carriage to the small road back to the village, and the horse was neighing uncontrollably.

"It's bad! The hail outside is getting bigger and bigger! Miss! What should we do?"

Yu Ruyue opened the carriage curtain and looked around. "Run! Keep running! In another half an incense stick of time, we'll be home. We're in the middle of nowhere now, and there's no place to take shelter!"

Yu Ruyue and Qin Haowen also removed the wooden boards from the carriage seat, and held two pieces of wood to cover Jingyue's head.

Just ran all the way home.

But as time went by, the hailstones not only didn't get smaller, but grew larger and larger, even growing from the size of a small fingertip to the size of an egg. The hailstones had sharp spikes, and they hit the carriage with a thud-thud-thud sound. Suddenly, with a bang, an egg-sized hailstone directly penetrated the carriage roof and landed inside. At the same time, screams were heard from outside.

"not good!"

"Miss! The horse is out of control!"

Yu Ruyue quickly ordered, "Qin Haowen! Jingyue! The two of you protect yourselves and control the horses. Don't let them run away. It would be bad if they ran into the village and hurt people. If all else fails, just kill the horses."

Qin Haowen and Jingyue hurriedly stood outside the carriage, enduring the pain of hail hitting their bodies, and tried hard to control the direction of the horses.

I just hope I can hold on a little longer. I’m almost home, but the hail is getting bigger and bigger.

The two men watched as the spiky hailstones suddenly smashed down on the first horse's head. Blood immediately flowed down the horse's head. The horse neighed and kicked desperately, trying to break free from the shackles, but it couldn't. When the second hailstone hit its head again, it fell uncontrollably to the other side, bringing the entire carriage to the side.

The bodies of the two people outside tilted uncontrollably to the right, and Yu Ruyue inside the carriage was like a rag doll. As the carriage tilted, she uncontrollably crashed into the wall of the carriage.

Qin Haowen heard the muffled groan from inside, and quickly raised his knife to cut the rope connected to the horse, but the carriage still shifted. When the left wheel pressed on the horse's body, the whole carriage fell to the right.

In order to avoid being crushed together, Qin Haowen and Jingyue quickly jumped off the car, rolled on the ground to relieve the force, quickly got up from the ground, and ran towards the crazy horse.

The two of them had no time to hide from the hailstones and let the hailstones as big as eggs hit their heads and bodies. Blood dripped onto the ground and mixed with the mud and water on the ground... In the carriage, Yu Ruyue fell uncontrollably from the left side to the right side of the carriage. She tried hard to support her body, but the horse ran forward like crazy. Her arm, which had just been connected, was stuck in the window close to the ground. She felt a burning pain in her arm.

She tried to pull it back, but it was stuck tightly and she couldn't pull it out. Suddenly, a hailstone came in from the carriage window on the other side and hit her left arm. Blood immediately flowed down her shoulder to her chin.

Outside, Qin Haowen flew directly towards the wind horse with a knife, but was hit by a hailstone in the middle, causing the knife to deviate. It did not pierce the aorta in the neck, but instead pierced the horse's butt, making the horse even more crazy.

Yu Ruyue felt a violent shaking, her head was dizzy, and there was no place on her body that didn't hurt.

Just when she thought she was about to die, the wind horse suddenly neighed, and then fell down with a thud, revealing Shen Chou's gloomy and bloodthirsty face in front of it!

Qin Haowen was surprised. When did this sickly man become so skilled in martial arts?

But he didn't have time to investigate further. He quickly ran to the carriage and tossed the broken planks aside, revealing Yu Ruyue's frail, pale face. He was about to pick her up when a whoosh sounded and he quickly jumped back. A bloody knife landed right where he had just crouched. If he had been a second later, his head would have been chopped off...

He suddenly raised his head and looked towards the source of the knife. He saw Shen Chou, his face covered in blood, walking towards him quickly with murderous intent. He squatted down and gently picked up Yu Ruyue from the ground, as if treating her as a rare treasure. He protected her tightly in his arms, using his body to block the hailstones, and quickly ran back to the Yu family.

Yu Ruyue felt the scent of ink rushing towards her nose, and her heart, which had been lifted all the way, finally settled down. She murmured, "Brother... I'm so glad you're okay."

Shen Chou was so distressed that he held her in his arms again, but he was afraid of touching the wounds on her body, so he could only run forward desperately. Even if the hail hit his head, even if his blood was boiling and he was at the end of his strength, he just wanted to protect the little monster in his arms, this fragile little monster that could only possess people.

Even the soothing voice was shaking uncontrollably, "Little sprite! It's okay! I'm here!"

The person in his arms was too weak. He didn't even dare to think about how boring and hopeless his life would be without this little elf!

The first time he came here, he was betrayed by his most trusted confidant and was seriously injured!

He had lived a very hard life. He was exploited and tortured by his parents and relatives, betrayed by his friends and confidants, scolded by the people of the world, and suspected by the monarch. He couldn't help but want to commit suicide after dealing with the traitors!

But he met the little elf. This was the little sweetness he finally had in his life. Would it be taken away from him?

No!

Not even God can do that!

Shen Chou fought for his life and finally returned to Yu's house. Yu Dehou and Liang Shulan each held a pot lid on their shoulders. Just as they were about to go out to look for someone, they saw Shen Chou covered in blood, holding the dying Yu Ruyue in his arms.

Liang Shulan's legs went weak and she almost fainted. Fortunately, Qin Haowen rushed back and quickly pulled her into the house. The place where they had just stood was hit by a hailstone with thorns, leaving a hole!

As soon as Shen Chou carried the person into the house, he fell to his knees uncontrollably.
