Ni Chu

I don't know how long it took before Xiang Ye, who was in a coma, woke up leisurely. The sky had already darkened, and the moon sneaked up into the sky at some point, and was pouring its brilliance gently towards the ground.

Chi Xue'e, who was lying under him, hadn't woken up, and there were one or two howls of wolves from a distance. Thinking of the pack of wolves who besieged them, and looking at the scattered corpses and some livestock that hadn't gone far, Xiang Ye Immediately felt that he could not continue to stay here, he had to leave here quickly.

After standing up unsteadily, his stomach rumbled, and he rubbed his stomach, only to remember that he had been in the chaotic scene during the day and never felt hungry.The surrounding area became quiet, and when he was no longer emotionally tense, the feeling of hunger began to hit him.

He staggered and took two steps towards a corpse. The corpse was carrying a backpack. Xiang Ye took off the backpack from his body and sat cross-legged on the ground. He reached into it and took out two handfuls of cooked wheat. Ren began to chew in big mouthfuls.

"Hmm!" After he ate a few handfuls of wheat kernels and burped his full belly, a woman's soft voice came from behind him.

Xiang Ye turned his head and saw that Chi Xue'e had also woken up. After the wound treatment, her complexion was much better than during the day. Under the soft moonlight, her bronze-colored skin was glowing with a faint luster.

"You're awake!" Xiang Ye took out another handful of wheat kernels from his bag, went to Chi Xue'e and handed them to her: "Can you go? If we can, let's get out of here quickly. Spending the night in this wilderness is too disturbing."

Chi Xue'e struggled to sit up, and took Mairen from his hand. The wound on her back no longer hurt as much as it did during the day. Looking at Xiang Ye's pale face due to excessive blood loss, she suddenly remembered the pain during the day. When he was looking for the wound medicine, he held the salty pig's hand on her chest, and his face blushed a lot.

Although Chi Xue'e has sold her body in order to earn more profits from some big merchants and officials, she is a woman after all, and when a strange man puts his hand into his collar and caresses freely, she will also feel ashamed and embarrassed. nervous.

The injury was too serious during the day, and she didn't have the spare energy to take care of her shame at that time, but now that the wound has been treated and the pain is no longer there, her mind naturally flew back to the memory of that salty pig's hand.

"I remember you can talk." Xiang Ye sat cross-legged beside Chi Xue'e, watching her eat wheat kernels in small bites, the feeling of pity for fragrance and jade grew stronger.

Chi Xue'e lowered her head, ate the wheat kernels in small bites, and chewed the food in her mouth, but she couldn't taste the taste at all, her thoughts were all in the memories of the day.

During the day, when the war horse carrying Xiang Ye ran towards the caravan under the chase of the wolves, she thought about shooting the horse and sacrificing one horse in exchange for the safety of the entire caravan.

After Xin Ling and others appeared, she ordered the guards to hold Xiang Ye as a hostage. When Xin Ling didn't care about the life and death of the hostage, she even wanted to order him to be killed.

To her surprise, even so, Xiang Ye chose to save her after she was seriously injured.Not only did he heal her wound, but he also stayed by her side and never left.

When Chi Xue'e thought this way, she was actually a bit wrong. It wasn't that Xiang Ye didn't want to leave, it was just because he had just woken up and hadn't thought about where to go yet.

"Why don't you leave me here and go by yourself?" Chi Xue'e stuffed the little wheat kernels left in her heart into her mouth, turned her head to look at Xiang Ye, her eyes were full of gratitude to him, and at the same time There is still a bit of loneliness in the depths.

Xiang Ye scratched his head, blinked his eyes, and said to her: "You said that if I save you, you will promise me with your body. How can I give up such a good thing so easily!"

After all, he winked at Chi Xue'e, with an extremely wretched expression.

Chi Xue'e shook her head with a sigh of disappointment, and said quietly: "Why are men like this? Apart from desire, can't you find other things in women? Well, the promise I made will naturally I will honor it, and I will give it to you when I feel better, then you and I will be equal!"

Xiang Ye saw the loneliness in Chi Xue'e's expression, stood up with his hands on the ground, changed the subject and said to her: "If you can leave, we should leave here quickly. The pack of wolves during the day seems to have not gone far. After they come back, it is estimated that no one will save us. If you are eaten by them, your body will become a lump, why do I need it?"

"You..." Chi Xue'e was dumbfounded by Xiang Ye's words, she shook her head and said to him: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you can't leave, as long as you bring two mules and horses, we can still get out of here quickly of."

Xiang Ye turned his head and looked at the remaining mules and horses not far away. The war horse that carried him here had gone somewhere, and there were only a few short donkeys and mules left nearby. He smiled wryly , shook his head mockingly, and sighed in his heart: "It seems that in this era, we must not only learn to ride a horse, but also learn to ride a donkey!"

It took a lot of effort, and after a battle of wits and courage with the mules and horses, he led a donkey and a mule towards Chi Xue'e.

That mule was okay, Xiang Ye pulled the rope, and it followed obediently.But the little donkey was not so obedient. Xiang Ye led it, and it kept shaking its head, trying to shake off the rope, and took a few steps back from time to time.

It took Xiang Ye a lot of effort to lead the two animals to Chi Xue'e. When he reached her, he held the rope in his hand and said to her, "Would you choose to ride a donkey or a horse?"

"Horse?" Chi Xue'e looked at Xiang Ye in confusion, and then at the mule and donkey behind him: "Where is there a horse to ride?"

"This one!" Xiang Ye turned his head and pointed at the mule and said to Chi Xue'e: "You'd better ride a horse, this big-eared horse is quite obedient, unlike that little donkey, I'll lead it, Not only does it not go forward, it goes backwards!"

"Pfft!" Before he finished speaking, Chi Xue'e couldn't help laughing, her smile immediately touched the wound on her back, and she almost shed tears because of the pain.Although the pain disturbed her, she still covered her small mouth with her hands and laughed non-stop.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?" Xiang Ye gave Chi Xue'e a gloomy look, and said with some dissatisfaction: "If you don't like riding a horse, then I will ride, and you can ride a donkey."

"A horse? You say it's a horse?" Chi Xue'e ignored Xiang Ye, and kept laughing while covering her mouth. After a while, she pointed to the mule and said, "That's a mule, what kind of big-eared horse? What are you doing?" You don't even know a mule?"

"Oh oh oh oh!" Xiang Ye repeated several times in embarrassment. It was indeed the first time he had seen a mule when he grew up. Living in the city, he knew horses and donkeys by accident. How could there be such a thing? Chance to meet mules.

"Hmm~~ah~~" Xiang Ye yelled several times. The little donkey behind him thought he was going to stop him, so he raised his hoof and found that he hadn't moved. Long Kang's protest.

The little donkey suddenly let out a high-pitched cry, which startled Xiang Ye. He jumped forward quickly and turned his head to look back.

When he jumped forward, he ignored the ropes that tied the donkey and mule in his hand. When he turned his head, the two animals happened to come towards him under the pull of the ropes.

The little donkey was obviously easy to be frightened, Xiang Ye turned his head abruptly, startled it, it took two steps forward abruptly, stretched out its head and arched it into Xiang Ye's arms.

Xiang Ye was kicked by the donkey, staggered a few steps and sat down on his buttocks, just sitting in the arms of Chi Xue'e who was laughing and trembling.

"Uh!" The two groaned in pain at the same time, and fell to the ground.

"Stop making trouble, we are all hurt!" After a long while, Xiang Ye got up grinning and said to Chi Xue'e: "Let's go quickly, or it will be dawn if it is later!"

"En!" Chi Xue'e nodded after getting up, and stood up with Xiang Ye's support.

In the end, instead of riding the mule, she sat on the back of a donkey.

After Chi Xue'e settled down, Xiang Ye ran to the pile of dead people to look for some wheat kernels, pulled a piece of cloth from a corpse and put it in his arms.I don't know how long the road ahead will be. Without dry food or with less dry food, I am afraid that it is impossible to reach the destination alive.

"Change your clothes! If you still wear this clothes when you get to the front, I'm afraid you will be killed if you can't even get through a city!" When Xiang Ye walked towards the mule holding a few bags full of dry food Chi Xue'e, who was riding on the donkey's back, lifted his jet-black blouse for the second time.

Xiang Ye looked up at her in bewilderment, for a long while he didn't understand how this dress could be related to his life.

But in the end he still chose to trust Chi Xue'e. After all, on the road ahead, without him, she would not have much hope of surviving after being seriously injured.

Taking off the clothes from a relatively clean dead body and changing them on, Xiang Ye held the black short suit and handed it to Chi Xue'e.

Chi Xue'e took the suit without looking at it, threw it on the ground, shook the rein of the little donkey and said to Xiang Ye: "Let's go!"

Riding on the back of the mule, Xiang Ye turned his head to look at the clothes lying on the ground and still reflecting light faintly under the moonlight from time to time.It was such a nice piece of clothing that Chi Xue'e threw it away so casually.

The night was getting darker, and from time to time there were a few autumn insects chirping on the side of the road, adding a bit of vitality to the quiet night.

"Where are we going?" Xiang Ye, who was riding on the mule's back, leaned over to Chi Xue'e and asked in a low voice.

"Xingyang!" Chi Xue'e looked forward, and there was only a vast night in front of her. She said to Xiang Ye in a low voice: "Li You, the governor of Sanchuan County, and I are acquaintances. I want to ask where I am." He sent someone to help me track down who was behind the scenes instigating the people from Wuyue Sword Tomb to take my treasure!"
