"What?" Xiao Nuan's face flushed, and he immediately shook his head and denied: "Impossible, it is impossible for the Master of the Circle Mirror to say that about me." ”

Huo Liting nodded with a smile: "Well, yes, Master Yuanjing is kind-hearted, of course he won't say it so bluntly." But when I mention your name in the temple, the first thing that comes to mind for the other masters is to eat. They say that every time you go up the hill, when it's time to put out the meal, they have to run faster. Because I'm afraid that after you finish eating, you won't have their share. ”

Xiao Nuan lowered his head and muttered angrily: "I didn't have it, they ate too much by themselves, and they didn't want to share a bite with me." ”

She puffed out her cheeks like a little hamster eating.

With the quiet singing of birds and flowers in the mountains, time seems to have returned to the time when they first met.

Huo Liting lowered his eyes and looked at her, and his blood-red eyes were filled with warmth.

Gradually, the large forces followed.

Zhao Xiaotang and Li Lei, as representatives of the mountaineering team, walked at the forefront of the team.

Looking at the backs of the two holding hands and supporting each other, Zhao Xiaotang muttered in a low voice: "Oh my God, am I crazy? Shouldn't I hate Huo Liting, a scumbag? But why do I feel a little pitiful when I see him so sick now." ”

Li Lei held her backpack and smiled secretly: "You don't pity him, you love the house and Wu." Now you know that Xiao Nuan's heart is still in him, and you know that if something happens to him, Xiao Nuan will definitely be sadder than anyone else, so you naturally hope that he can get better and don't drag Xiao Nuan back. ”

"Really?" Zhao Xiaotang thought about it carefully, as if this was the truth, and she felt at ease: "Well, I'll just say! If I am so soft-hearted to the scumbag so easily, I will really be Xiao Nuan's only best friend in vain." ”

Li Lei looked at Huo Liting's back, and was also a little unbearable, and corrected softly: "Don't be a scumbag and a scumbag all the time, what happened back then may not be what we saw." Besides, we have to give Xiao Nuan some face, don't we?"

Zhao Xiaotang moved his lips in displeasure, but finally swallowed the words back: "Forget it, you are also a man, of course you men help men." ”

Li Lei defended: "Hey, I'm not helping my relatives, it has nothing to do with gender." ”

Zhao Xiaotang took a few steps in disgust to shake him off: "Get out, straight man of steel!"

Li Lei tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Heh, a woman's heart, a needle under the sea." ”

Xiao Nuan and Huo Liting walked side by side, not noticing the laughter of the two people behind them.

While looking at the road, she paid attention to the subtle changes in Huo Liting's body.

Feeling his breathing faintly short, she immediately paused: "You still can't go on like this." It's just such a journey, and the blood vessels in your hands are swollen so much, and if you go on, you have to be violent, so let's use a stretcher. ”

Huo Liting also vaguely felt uncomfortable, some sleeping things in his body seemed to be waking up and active, but he didn't want to be a burden to her.

He steadied his heartbeat and said softly, "It's okay, I'll insist on it." ”

Xiao Nuan frowned, and saw that there was a raised boulder on the side of the road not far away, which was quite smooth, so he helped Huo Liting to rest: "You sit for a while and see if it is because of the increased pressure on the blood vessels due to walking, I will discuss it with them." ”

Huo Liting leaned on the stone, holding her hand and reluctant to let go: "I'm really fine." ”

"It's okay, check first. Xiao Nuan glared at him and beckoned to Wo Gang.

Wo Gang understood, and hurriedly called the most experienced Gu poison expert in the team to go over together: "Madam, what's wrong?"

"He's got some changes, look at it. Xiao Nuan took a step to the side so that they could check.

The Gu poison expert is the son of He Lao, who studied under He Lao, and is the youngest Gu poison expert in the Qingbai Kingdom.

He checked the bulging green tendons on Huo Liting's hands and the bloodshot in his eyes, and shook his head regretfully: "I can't go any further." The Gu poison of his physical energy is already in a semi-awake state, and exercise will accelerate blood circulation, which will speed up the onset of Gu poison. ”

Xiao Nuan nodded, and beckoned straight to Lu Haoran: "Stretcher." ”

After Lu Haoran saw Huo Liting's protection last night, although he was unwilling now, he could only obey Xiao Nuan's words.

He hurriedly took the stretcher over, set it on the ground, and said coldly: "Sanshao, please!"

There is Xiao Nuan's traditional Chinese medicine orthopedic bone to help him recover in his lower back, and the injury on his face, he still hurts!

Huo Liting's face was colder than his, and he raised his chin arrogantly and said, "My own body, I know it myself, I don't need it!"

"Go up. Xiao Nuan raised her eyebrows in displeasure.

Huo Liting didn't speak, only turned his face away lightly, and didn't look at anyone.

Seeing that something was wrong in front, the people behind all walked a few steps quickly to catch up.

Now a large group of people are gathered on the stone steps, all looking at Huo Liting with wide eyes.

Xiao Nuan gritted his teeth and said with a suppressed anger: "What do you want? If you really want to die, then die quickly, don't waste everyone's time here." We have worked so hard to bring you here, not to see your ability. ”

She didn't want him to die, let alone watch him die!

Seeing that she was aggrieved and angry, Huo Liting's heart softened.

She is, she cares about him!

As if eating a piece of candy, he hooked his lips happily: "Okay, good, I listen to my wife." ”

People are bullying others, and he is clearly bullying people because of illness.

Xiao Nuan rolled her eyes speechlessly, but the situation was urgent, so she could only compromise vaguely: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up." ”

"Yes, my wife. ”

Huo Liting finished speaking without skin and face, and honestly lay on the stretcher.

The people of the first echelon immediately got started, and the four of them worked together and steadily lifted the stretcher.

That's when the team started again.

Zhao Xiaotang and Li Lei explored the road in front, the stretcher followed behind them, and then the large army was behind.

On the slightly wider steps, Xiao Nuan was kept on the side of the stretcher, so that he could take care of Huo Liting at any time.

Where it was narrower, she took two steps forward or two steps behind, until the larger place was merging.

There was not much verbal exchange, but he could personally see his nervousness about Huo Liting.

The crowd did not dare to take it lightly, and they all cheered up with their spirits.

The stretcher passed by a bush half a person high, and Huo Liting suddenly raised his hand and made a stop gesture.

Everyone was startled and hurriedly paused.

Xiao Nuan immediately said nervously: "What's wrong?

Huo Liting didn't speak, he struggled to prop himself up, and reached out to the bush from behind.

Xiao Nuan bent down and followed his movements, and saw him leaning over to pick a small purple flower hidden in the dense leaves.

Huo Liting withdrew his hand contentedly and motioned for Xiao Nuan to come closer.

Xiao Nuan frowned impatiently, but still leaned over: "What do you want to do?"

Huo Liting didn't speak, only smiled softly, and reached out to put the small purple flower hairpin on her sideburns.

He admired it with satisfaction for a few seconds before he said lightly: "The little girl has grown up, she is so beautiful!"

The people around him, whether they understood it or not, laughed ambiguously.

Zhao Xiaotang rubbed his arms, shook off goosebumps, and said in a low voice: "This iceberg has opened its mind, but it's really unbearable." ”

Xiao Nuan was stunned for a moment, then his cheeks turned red, and he said disgustedly: "Childish!"

She turned her head away and told everyone to keep walking, not to look at him again.

But she didn't pick the flower on her sideburns.

Avoiding everyone's gaze, Xiao Nuan lowered his eyelids, and his eyes shone with shallow water.

......

As the mountain rose and fell, the stone steps became narrower and narrower, and everyone walked more slowly and carefully.

Feeling the chill, Xiao Nuan took out a small thin blanket from his mountaineering bag and covered Huo Liting's body, and gently advised: "Don't worry, I'll go up soon." ”

Huo Liting didn't speak, just stared at her and his eyes turned red again.

Xiao Nuan couldn't help worrying, but he only calmly instructed the person carrying the stretcher: "It's okay to slow down, the most important thing is stability, everyone take your time." ”

The voice of peace of mind is in the ear, and the familiar figure is close at hand.

Huo Liting lay on his back on the stretcher, and with the rhythmic swaying, his vision was still blurred uncontrollably.

The greenery became dazzling, the crisp birdsong turned into a cacophony, and even the faint scent of flowers in the air made him restless.

He knew that this was a sign of the attack of Gu poison in his body, he closed his eyes and clenched his fists to suppress it.

However, the moment he opened his eyes again, the suppressed tyrannical aura still broke out of his body.

His eyes were red, and there was a terrifying aura all over his body.

He suddenly sat up, and the four people carrying the stretcher were unprepared, and under the heavy pressure, the stretcher "clanged" and took off.

Xiao Nuan was the first to react, and almost reached out to grab the stretcher as soon as it fell.

But her hand was empty, and Huo Liting even fell on the steps with a stretcher, and rolled down the narrow steps.

"Huo Liting!" Xiao Nuan exclaimed in surprise, and chased after him.

When everyone saw something rolling down, their instinctive reaction was to dodge, and when they realized what was happening, it was too late to stop it.

Xiao Nuan was anxious and chaotic, his eyes followed Huo Liting's figure, and if he didn't pay attention, he stepped into the air, and the whole person fell down and rolled down.

"Xiao Nuan!"

Zhao Xiaotang screamed, and almost stepped into the air when he turned back, but fortunately, Li Lei grabbed her in time.

It all happened so quickly and so suddenly that most people froze in place.

Lu Haoran and Bai Yu wanted to help, but the bluestone steps that no one had passed by all year round were narrow and slippery, and when there were many people, they became even more chaotic, and no one dared to run in stride, and their speed naturally slowed down.

The Gu poison eroded Huo Liting's consciousness, and he could barely feel the pain of the bump, allowing himself to roll on the stone steps.

It wasn't until he saw Xiao Nuan stepping into the air and heard Zhao Xiaotang's sharp call that he suddenly woke up.

His heart ached sharply, and his consciousness instantly cleared up.

He stretched out his hand to reach the stone steps, to reach the bushes by the roadside.

He knew that Xiao Nuan could only stop if he stopped first!

Fingers scratched at the hard stones and sharp branches again and again, and the nails were torn and blood was dripping.

He finally grabbed a raised mountain rock and stabilized his figure.

In the next moment, he saw Xiao Nuan rolling closer, and he hurriedly reached out and held her firmly in his arms.

Xiao Nuan was smashed into that solid and hot embrace, and her body and heart fell to the ground at the same time.

"How are you? Are you alright?"

She didn't care about the pain on her body, and was busy checking his pupils and blood vessels.

The thoughts of killing and bloodthirsty roared wildly in Huo Liting's mind, and when they touched the scars on the back of Xiao Nuan's fair-skinned hand that were scratched by the steps, they reached their peak directly.

The piercing scarlet fell on his eyes, staining his entire pupil blood.

The urge to tear apart everything in heaven and earth almost rushed out of his chest.

He hurriedly relied on his remaining reason and pushed Xiao Nuan away with difficulty: "Go, go, leave me alone!"

The suppressed voice seemed to be squeezed out between the teeth, and every word revealed the pain of forbearance.

Xiao Nuan grabbed his hand and shook his head desperately: "No, I'm not leaving." Huo Liting, you look at me, you look at me! You listen to me, take a deep breath, calm down, calm down again!"

Huo Liting's body trembled uncontrollably, no matter how he suppressed it, something seemed to burst out of his body.

The veins on his face and hands swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye, terrifying like a demon from hell.

The bloodthirsty desire almost drowned out his reason, he shook off Xiao Nuan's hand and said in a muffled voice: "Hurry up!

Xiao Nuan's heart hurt to the extreme, and his eyes were full of hot enthusiasm.

She clenched his hand and shook her head vigorously, "You won't kill me, you won't!"

She paused, then gritted her teeth and added, "Even if you really die here immediately, I will bury you with my own hands!"

This is a commitment, an obsession, and a determination to live and die together!

"Ahh

An inexplicable huge force poured into his chest, and Huo Liting suddenly raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar.

Like an angry lion, he suddenly turned sideways and picked up Xiao Nuan, got up and rushed towards the top of the mountain.

His skin was like red-hot coal, covered with raised green tendons, which made people shudder.

His arms were as stiff as iron and as strong as an ox, and he stepped on every step with great vigor.

Everyone hadn't recovered from the previous fright, they only felt that a gust of wind swept in front of them, and Huo Liting had already rushed to the front with Xiao Nuan in his arms.

Bai Yu was already approaching just now, so he hurriedly turned around and chased up: "Sanshao, you wait for me!"

Zhao Xiaotang was so anxious that he cried out, shouting while chasing: "Scum, Huo Liting, you put down Xiao Nuan, you put her down, you quickly put her ......"

Xiao Nuan was also taken aback.

Her body rose and fell with the strength of the mountain, almost instinctively hugging Huo Liting's neck.

His skin was hot, his breath was short, and he was in a state of complete madness.

Xiao Nuan took a deep breath and calmed down, and reassured me over and over again: "Huo Liting, I'm fine, you let me down first, I can go by myself." Huo Liting, did you hear me......

However, no matter how she persuaded her, Huo Liting didn't seem to hear it.

He held his head high, his scarlet eyes staring straight at the end of the stone steps, as if he would not stop until he reached the top.

Xiao Nuan's eyes were red and red, and she pursed her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying.

Run, run, run, even if she falls with him again, she will also have no hesitation!

I don't know how long it has been, everyone has been left far behind, and Xiao Nuan can't hear the shouts of Zhao Xiaotang and the others behind him at all.

Huo Liting suddenly stopped when he strode onto a slightly wider stone platform.

His gaze melted almost instantly, and his body went limp and knelt directly on the platform.

But his arms were still as steady as steel, and it wasn't until he put Xiao Nuan on the ground smoothly that he fell to the ground with his head tilted.

"Uncle!" Xiao Nuan exclaimed, tears welling up in his eyes.

She didn't care about wiping it, and was busy helping him lie down, probing his nose, listening to his heartbeat, and checking his pulse......

After a few minutes, after confirming that he had only fainted with all her strength, she leaned back on the stone steps and let out a few breaths.

She looked at his side face, and her heart was sour and astringent.

Uncle, why are you so troubled?

In order not to hurt me, is it worth it for you to torture yourself like this?

Xiao Nuan stayed by the side and wiped the sticky sweat off his body for him.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Zhao Xiaotang, Li Lei and Bai Yu to catch up first.

"Sanshao grandma, how is Sanshao doing?"

Bai Yu looked at the man lying on the ground, as if only breath in and out was left, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to step forward to touch it.

"He's fine for the time being, it's just a wasted transition! Xiao Nuan lightly reassured.

Zhao Xiaotang wiped his tears and pulled Xiao Nuan's arm to check left and right: "Are you okay?

Seeing the abrasions on her skin, Zhao Xiaotang immediately took out the emergency medicine in her bag to help her treat the wound: "You just rolled down, I was going to be scared to death?"

Xiao Nuan tugged at the corners of her mouth and gave Zhao Xiaotang a reassuring smile: "The injuries are definitely injuries, but they are all skin injuries, and they are not in the way." ”

Zhao Xiaotang glanced at her with annoyance: "Smile and smile, you still have a face to smile, are you a fool? If he is crazy, you will also be crazy! If you really fall out of a good way, see if I don't stab him to death with a knife!"

"Okay, good, I was wrong. Xiao Nuan pulled her arm and coquettishly: "I won't dare next time, okay?"

"Bah, I believe you're a ghost!"

Zhao Xiaotang took care of the wound and confirmed that she was indeed fine, so he shook off her hand in disgust: "Get out, it's covered in moss, and it's dirty." ”

As a few people spoke, the large army behind them also followed.

Wo Gang and the others took turns to check Huo Liting, and they all confirmed Xiao Nuan's examination results.

Lu Haoran took out the stretcher: "Then let's take advantage of him to faint and carry him up with all our might!"

"That's all I can do. Wo Gang echoed and added: "Tie him this time, so as not to suddenly wake up again." ”

Everyone nodded, and they all felt that this was the safest way to do it.

Xiao Nuan also knew that there was no way out, but he still couldn't bear to turn his head.

He is such an arrogant person, he doesn't even want to be carried up, and now he has to be tied up, he must feel embarrassed in his heart!

Just as everyone was about to make a move, a loud sudden sound came from the sky, and it was getting closer and closer to them.

Soon, they saw a helicopter appear in the sky, and the descending helicopter blew out the surrounding trees.

Everyone was puzzled, and Xiao Nuan's mobile phone rang.

She took out her mobile phone and saw that it was Hong Lie's phone, and quickly picked it up: "Ah Lie." ”

Hong Lie poked his head out of the helicopter and waved his hand at them: "Nuan Nuan, the helicopter can go directly to the top of the mountain, but the location is limited." I'll put down the sling immediately, and you take Huo Liting up first. ”

"Good, good. Xiao Nuan didn't bother to ask him why he came, and hurriedly agreed.

Soon, the sling was lowered.

With the help of everyone, Huo Liting and Xiao Nuan were quickly sent to the helicopter.

Zhao Xiaotang watched the plane heading towards the top of the mountain, and couldn't help but sigh: "At a critical time, Ah Lie is still reliable! It's that he hides his identity as the prince of Qingbai from us, and he is a little annoying." ”

"It's Xiao Nuan's business to hate it or not, so don't make a mess with it. Li Lei patted her bag: "Let's go! Go up early, maybe you can help them." ”

"You know a lot!" Zhao Xiaotang glared at him, but he didn't say much, tightened his backpack and began to walk up.

The group cheered each other on, set off again down the stone steps, and approached the top of the mountain.

Helicopter.

Xiao Nuan and Hong Lie sat opposite each other, Huo Liting was half-lying on the chair next to Xiao Nuan, and opposite him, a strange young man was sitting.

Hong Lie introduced: "Nuan Nuan, this is Jia Xi, another assistant of mine. He grew up in this neighborhood as a child and is more familiar with his surroundings than we are, and he will guide us when we confirm the location. ”

Xiao Nuan's eyebrows showed fatigue, and he said softly: "Thank you, Ah Lie, or you are thoughtful." ”

"Mr. Huo is an ambassador, and if something happens at the palace banquet, I also have responsibility, and I should do my best. Besides, even if it's for you, I'm going to have to get him better quickly. ”

Hong Lie smiled softly: "As for Yuntian, you don't have to worry, I'll send him to the queen mother." With a queen mother to take care of him, it's absolutely fine. ”

Xiao Nuan nodded: "Thank you, you have thought it through." ”

As he spoke, the helicopter had reached the top of the mountain.

With a loud roar, the plane landed on a fairly flat green field.

Several people worked together to lift Huo Liting, who was still unconscious, down.

Xiao Nuan looked around, only to realize that this place was completely different from the bottom of the mountain.

This season's Qingbai Country is already late autumn, and they can see a lot of yellow leaves and residual flowers along the way, and the temperature is getting lower and lower.

But the temperature here is warmer and more comfortable than under the mountain, and the flowers are red and willow green, full of spring.

Jia Xi pointed to the large peach forest next to the clearing and said, "Your Highness, madam, after passing through this peach forest, there should be the courtyard where the Gu God lives alone." ”

The pink peach blossoms are in full swing, and they are so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off them.

With victory in sight, Xiao Nuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's wait for them to come up, and then let's go over together!"

Hong Lie nodded: "Okay." It was windy at the top of the mountain, so we moved him into the woods first. ”

He took matters into his own hands and carried Huo Liting under a lush peach blossom tree with Jassy.

Xiao Nuan sat on the ground next to the stretcher, and checked Huo Liting's pulse.

Sure that his heartbeat was a little steater than before, she felt a little more steady.

Her brows unconsciously furrowed, and her eyes sparkled with warm expectations.

A gust of mountain wind blew, and pink peach petals fluttered and fell.

The rain made Xiao Nuan's facial features more and more exquisite, as if he was in a beautiful picture of a closed moon and shy flowers.

Hong Lie couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and record this beautiful moment: "Nuan Nuan, come and see this side and smile." ”

Xiao Nuan looked for a sound, and subconsciously raised his hand to block his side face: "Don't make trouble." How can I feel this way now? ”

Hong Lie adjusted the angle while softly reassuring: "If you have a good mentality, your luck will be good!" we have come this far, and we will be able to find the Gu God soon, don't worry, he will definitely get better." ”

Xiao Nuan lowered her eyelids silently, still sideways to avoid it.

Hong Lie reluctantly put down his phone and instructed Jassy: "You bring your tools, go to explore the road first, and see if it is far away." Wait for them to come up later, and we'll go straight over. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

Jassy opened his backpack, took out a rope and a compass, and saluted the two of them before heading towards the depths of the peach forest.
