In front of the North Gate

Lou Huaiyu couldn't adapt to the darkness very quickly, his eyes couldn't see anything, and he could only feel someone pulling him up with great strength.

Others were not fully awake, a little slow, and when they reacted, they had already put on their coats.

"Where are you going?" Lou Huaiyu asked belatedly while being caught out of bed.

Shi Jichang quickly pushed him out the door, and replied, "Don't you want to go out?"

The moonlight outside the door came in, full moon, very bright.

Lou Huaiyu even squinted his eyes, and finally saw Shi Jichang's appearance clearly. There was a long scar from Shi Jichang's forehead to the eyebrow of his left eye, and he could only see the length, not the depth.

Lou Huaiyu couldn't help frowning, and he wanted to take a closer look, but before he could ask questions or move, Shi Jichang had already dragged him to the wall.

Shi Jichang said: "I walked a few times and found the shortest way, but I still feel a little tired."

Lou Huaiyu still didn't understand what he was talking about, but felt that his thigh was being grabbed by someone, and his eyes were quickly raised in the next second.

Lou Huaiyu was supported upright by Shi Jichang, half of his body crossed the wall, and caught off guard to see the densely packed houses in the courtyard, and the mountains in the distance also showed a rough outline under the moonlight.

Lou Huaiyu's scream was stuck in his throat, and he digested it after a while before he lowered his head and asked, "What are you doing?!"

"Go up," Shi Jichang said, and he couldn't help but lift him up a little bit more, "Hold the wall with your hands, and step on it to stand firm."

Saying that, Shi Jichang took a small step forward by himself, getting closer to the wall.

Lou Huaiyu was shaken slightly, and almost cried out again, subconsciously supporting the wall with his hands.

Shi Jichang urged him in a low voice from below: "Put your feet up."

Lou Huaiyu had no choice but to lift one foot up slowly as Ji Chang said.

The Fan family is a big family, and the walls are very thick, but they are narrower than a normal man's foot.

Lou Huaiyu's feet were small, and she barely stood still.Fortunately, he is an opera singer, and he has been practicing kung fu recently. He is very flexible and can squat down while supporting the wall.

But just like that, standing on a wall more than two meters high is still scary.

Lou Huaiyu was almost sweating as he grabbed the edge with his hands, but he didn't dare to make a loud noise, so he closed his eyes and lowered his voice, "And then!"

Shi Jichang didn't know how to do it, and when he spoke again in the blink of an eye, he was already over the wall: "Come down, I'll follow you."

When Lou Huaiyu opened his eyes, he saw Shi Jichang with his arms outstretched.

Shi Jichang was tall enough to reach Lou Huaiyu's ankle.

Lou Huaiyu was afraid when he only looked at the ground, but he was very close to Shi Jichang. He only paused for a moment, then obediently sent his hand out, and embraced Shi Jichang.

The air was very cold, but Shi Jichang was very angry. The first second Lou Huaiyu came into contact with him, he was almost scalded.

He has never been so close to the ground with Shi Jichang, his whole head is buried in the other's neck, skin to skin, and he can feel the beating heart in the other's chest.

Lou Huaiyu smelled an unpleasant salty smell, probably sweat, and also had some familiar aromas.

Before he had time to distinguish, Shi Jichang had already let him go.

Shi Jichang said, "Okay."

Lou Huaiyu turned his head to look, and the two landed on the edge of the bamboo forest that Shi Jichang had mentioned.

"There are about ten more walls like this to climb," Shi Jichang said freely, "and then we can go out."

Lou Huaiyu felt his legs go weak for a while.

Shi Jichang was already walking, he pulled Lou Huaiyu forward and told him, "Go this way."

That night, the Fan family compound was still quiet, dead silent, and everyone was in danger, but there were two more people who were not afraid of death and slowly climbed over the wall in the middle of the night.

Lou Huaiyu was terrified at first, but later he became more at ease. Only the last wall almost met the peacekeeping team and almost fell. Shi Jichang yanked him to the ground safely.

He spit it out in one breath, feeling like his heart was beating like a drum, and then turned his head to look at Shi Jichang, his face didn't change.

Lou Huaiyu temporarily forgot all the recent events in the tension and excitement, and only sighed sincerely: "Aren't you afraid?"

"Shh." Shi Jichang fell silent, stretched out his hand to stop Lou Huaiyu Xuxu, leaned against the wall and carefully probed around the corner.

Lou Huaiyu's heart beat faster, and she hid behind Shi Jichang tremblingly, watching him observe carefully but calmly.

Shi Jichang whispered: "Don't talk now, there are still many patrols nearby."

Lou Huaiyu responded softly with an almost non-existent voice.

Shi Jichang observed for a while before signaling that he could move on.

The two boldly crossed several deserted streets, and more often shuttled in dark alleys.

Shi Jichang seems to be very familiar with the terrain here, even the frequency of patrols, where to stop and where to run, he is very familiar with it.

During the whole journey, Shi Jichang's arms were always around his side. When Lou Huaiyu turned his head to look at a certain street, he couldn't help but think of Shi Jichang's words, "I walked a few times, and I found the nearest road. way".

How many times?

Lou Huaiyu couldn't help counting in his heart.

Shi Jichang hasn't come to give any gifts for four days, so that's four times?Or more than once a day?

And before... Every time Shi Jichang came, he had to avoid so many dangers and climb over so many walls, just to give him a small gift?

Even if he wanted Lou Huaiyu to help him, what could Lou Huaiyu do to help him? Is it worth risking his life every day?

Before Lou Huaiyu could figure it out, Shi Jichang had already pulled him towards him, and the two of them walked into a very secret and dark path. The eaves on both sides almost covered the entire sky, leaving only a thin line.

Shi Jichang said, "It's safe."

His voice was a little louder, and he said, "I'm used to it."

Lou Huai reacted for a moment, only to realize that this was a response to the question Ji Chang was afraid of when he blurted out just now.

He followed Shi Jichang and continued to walk forward, not knowing where the end point was. After the fear passed, he left a lot of doubts, as well as the excitement and joy that Lou Huaiyu himself could not deny.

This is the first time Lou Huaiyu has come out in three years, and the air outside seems to be different from that in the courtyard.

The two walked through a dark and narrow path, and the exit suddenly became clear. Lou Huaiyu stepped out, and the moonlight reflected by the river almost made his eyes shine.

He covered it up and saw clearly that it was a small river channel. Some of the snow on both sides of the river had melted, and some of it became more and more glistening under the moonlight. The sound of running water.

Shi Jichang led him to continue walking, and suddenly asked him: "Is it cold?"

Only then did Lou Huaiyu feel the low temperature by the river, but he was worried all the way, walking and running quickly, his whole body was steaming, and he didn't feel cold for a while, so he shook his head.

Shi Jichang said that was good, and led him down a small path by the river, the two of them passed through a small bush, and finally came to a big locust tree by the river.

"Now I can speak loudly." Shi Jichang said.

Lou Huaiyu didn't quite know what to say.

He looked around for a while at a loss, and then asked Shi Jichang: "Why...bring me here?"

Shi Jichang was also taken aback, and asked him instead: "Didn't you want to come out?"

"I gave you those things before, don't take it easy," Shi Jichang said, with a rare expression on his face, as if he looked at Lou Huaiyu with embarrassment, fear, and expectation, "You said you saved me back then, didn't you For these, I thought about it, and you seem to want me to take you out."

Lou Huaiyu looked around again, and the expression on his face was not the happiness that Shi Jichang expected, but panic.

Lou Huaiyu panicked, he wanted to come out, but he never thought that he would come out so unprepared and in a hurry. Lou Huaiyu didn't even take a tael of silver around him, and he was still wearing pajamas and a coat.

Lou Huaiyu couldn't control the volume, he almost shouted: "Did we just come out like this?!"

Shi Jichang was puzzled: "Yes."

Lou Huaiyu was even more frightened.

"Then...then what then?" Lou Huaiyu looked at Shi Jichang helplessly, "Then you don't care about me? Or do you want me...I to fight with you?"

Lou Huaiyu was about to cry. He remembered the gunshots he heard in the yard, and said in despair, "I can't shoot."
