1785 Cherish
....
Gu Xin looked at Lu Zheng and suddenly felt a little sad. She did not know why she was sad, but she just felt very uncomfortable.
Moreover, tears started flowing out of nowhere.
Lu Zheng was frightened. Xinxin, don’t cry. I’m telling the truth. We’ll be good in the future, and I’ll fulfill the promises I’ve made to you in my dreams and in reality. We still have a lifetime to live. Give me a chance and let me fulfill it, okay?”
Gu Xin pounced into Lu Zheng’s arms and hugged him, wailing loudly, ” “Brother Yuanyuan, I don’t know why I’m crying either. I just feel like crying. I just feel that it’s not easy for us to be together, and I want to cherish it. Big brother Yuanyuan!”
Lu Zheng hugged her and ran his fingers through her hair.”Yes, be together and cherish every day you have together. Don’t cry, we still have a few decades. I won’t let you cry. Xinxin, believe me. ”
Gu Xin cried and cried until she was tired and fell asleep in Lu Zheng’s arms.
Lu Zheng laid out the dry gra.s.s and placed Gu Xin on it, letting her sleep well. He then started a fire around her to warm her up.
Although the two of them were already in love with each other, he did not take off Gu Xin’s clothes to dry them. Instead, he lit a fire around them so that her wet clothes would dry faster.
After doing all this, he sat beside Gu Xin and watched the fire, in case the dry gra.s.s caught fire and burned this silly girl.
……
On Peng silang’s side, after the waves had receded and the sea breeze had died down, he had been searching for her on the sh.o.r.e. At dawn, Xue Qianyu and Cheng huaijin had also brought their men over. Peng ze was not around, so only the two of them had brought their soldiers.
Xue Qianyu had previously taken over the Navy soldiers. This time, there were also navy soldiers among the remaining troops of the Yun Hai Army. Hence, Xue Qianyu brought this group of people over.
“Where’s your general lang?” Xue Qianyu didn’t see anyone when he arrived, so he asked one of the great Zhou soldiers who had remained.
“General Xue, general lang went that way, and a portion of them went the other way. Your subordinates were waiting for you here.” The soldier replied.
Xue qianxun nodded and split up with Cheng huaijin, each leading their own people in two different directions.
The soldiers they brought with them were from the Navy, and if they needed to enter the water, they could be put to use. The soldiers from quicksand Gotz and salin basically did not know how to swim.
At this moment, Peng ze, who was in King Cloud Sea, also received the news. He immediately sent people with food, water, and clothes to reinforce them. Gu Hui heard that Gu Xin and Lu Zheng were in trouble and personally led the way.
Gu Hui’s intuition had always been accurate. If she didn’t think that anything serious had happened to Gu Xin, it meant that they could find her. Hence, she brought Gu Xin a lot of family items for the ladies. It was quite inconvenient for her to bring all the men in the group.
The sky brightened and Gu Xin slept all the way until noon. The fire beside her was only a small flame and her clothes, hair, shoes, and socks had all dried up.
She sat up and saw that Lu Zheng was nowhere to be seen. She was so frightened that she quickly stood up and shouted, ” “Brother Yuanyuan! Brother Yuanyuan! Lu Zheng, where are you?”
After a while, a voice was heard, ” “I’m picking fruits. Xinxin, wait! I’ve found the direction. I’ll bring you back in a while!”
Gu Xin was relieved to hear his reply. She lowered her head and pulled her s.h.i.+rt to check on her wound. It was much better now. She pressed on another Jade bead and spat on it to melt it before applying it to her wound.
