Chapter 70: The Mystery of Life and Death (Thanks to tatiana37 for the booklist)
"Childe, there is a forest fire over there now, you can't go over!" Qingpu said with someone beating horses in front of him, the forest fire in front of him is too big, and it is a scorching summer, basically the wind is crazy, like a high wall blocking everyone's way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ruo Ao Yuejiao also controlled the reins of the horse and stepped forward, stopped and stood in front of Ruo Ao Ziyan, looked at the fire and said with a smile, "Why is it difficult to have your lover over there?"
"Who is over there, you know in your heart!"
If Ao Ziyan's sword eyebrows were cold, he always felt that there was someone waiting for him over there, looked deeply at the other side through the fire, and said coldly.
"What do I know? I don't know anything. ”
Yue Jiao stood in front of the raging fire with his arms crossed without fear and said.
Want to catch a job?
Hmph, looking at the appearance of this fire, it would be good to find his charred corpse.
"If you don't order someone to extinguish the fire, if you continue to burn like this, your entire hunting ground in the western suburbs will be gone!"
Ruo Ao Ziyan looked at Ruo Ao Yuejiao and said in a deep voice, then his big hand sank, pulled out the phoenix arrow in the quiver that was hanging immediately, pulled the bow like the moon, the momentum was like a hong, and the arrow in his hand was quickly aimed at a few wild wolves that flew out of nowhere, and the arrows continued to shoot out like a "sigh", shooting at the wolves that escaped from the fire.
In a few moments, at least seven or eight wild wolves died from his arrows.
"Fire, I will naturally extinguish it, so I won't bother you with this matter, second cousin. ”
Seeing this, Ruo Ao Yuejiao's thick eyebrows sank, and at the same time he picked up the wolf bow in his hand and opened his bow to shoot, but his arrow was not aimed at those wolves, but at the arrow shot by Ruo Ao Ziyan.
With a "bump", the arrows of the two collided fiercely in mid-air, bringing up a spark in the thick night, and then forcibly shooting the arrows of Ruo Ao Ziyan at the wild wolf in mid-air.
A wild wolf "whooped" and narrowly escaped under his arrows.
Ruo Ao Yuejiao laughed when he saw this, "These prey, the second cousin can't monopolize them alone." ”
The two of them then were like a game, one shot the wolf, one saved the wolf, one was faster than the other, and then the prey on the trailer brought by Ao Ziyan continued to increase, and Ruo Ao Yuejiao barely increased, and in the end, the two people were no longer archery, the two brothers were like a game, you don't let me, I won't let you.
"Alright, enough prey, let's go back to camp!"
Seeing that the last Fengling arrow was firmly inserted into the wolf's body after avoiding Ruo Ao Yuejiao's bow and arrow, Ruo Ao Ziyan collected the bow and returned to the camp.
"Yes, Childe. ”
When Ruo Ao Ziyan returned to the camp, it was already in the middle of the moon, and the king of Chu had ordered people to raise bonfires in front of the Golden Horde, roasting Ye Xiangru and Situ Nan and Ruo Ao Zike's prey that they had hunted back earlier.
If Ao Ziyan didn't say anything, he saw that there was no figure of the phoenix in the golden tent and frowned secretly, so he ordered Qingpu to hand over the prey, and then retreated and went to their camp behind the golden tent.
In front of the tent, I saw Si Jian Huo Dao and them guarding outside, and when they saw him, they all bowed and saluted.
If Ao Ziyan saw that they were all there, he opened the curtain and walked in with a slight bow, and in the huge tent, he saw a woman's figure looming on the bed behind the jade screen.
When they saw him come in, they immediately came out from behind the screen and saluted, "Donkey!"
"Well, how is the lady today? Can you find Mrs. Xian?"
Ruo Ao Ziyan nodded lightly, and asked thoughtfully, his gaze fell on the woman behind the screen.
"The lady went out in the afternoon to look for Mrs. Xian, but she didn't find it, and then came back, just had dinner, and said that she was tired and went to bed early. Si Qin bowed his head and replied when he heard this.
"yes, I see!"
Ruo Ao Ziyan chuckled, secretly laughed at his suspicion, then turned around and walked into the warm couch behind the screen, sat on the warm couch, and glanced at the woman who was asleep with a silk quilt on the couch, only to see that there were a few red marks on her exposed jade neck that seemed to have been bitten by insects, frowning slightly, and then her eyes were on the extinguished incense burner, and she said in a deep voice to Si Qin, "Now in the wild, there are many mosquitoes, why don't you even light the spices for insect repellent?" The snakes, insects, rats and ants outside here are very vicious, what if you encounter any poisonous insects and poisonous snakes?"
"It's a mistake on the part of the painter, please punish the horse!"
Hearing this, Si Hua hurriedly got up to confess, and then quickly walked to the long case on the side, opened the lid of the three-legged white jade small incense burner, dug a spoonful from the spice box with a silver spoon, put it into the incense burner, and re-lit it with a clear fire.
No matter how gentle the movements were, Mi Huang hadn't woken up yet, and couldn't say anything, so he opened his eyes slightly and looked at the man beside the bed, "When are you coming back?"
Ruo Ziyan chuckled, put the jade bottle back into the medicine box, and replied, "Just now!"
"By the way, when you were looking for Mrs. Xian, you didn't go to the mountains and forests behind, did you?" Ruo Ao Ziyan said casually.
"No, what's wrong? I just walked around the big tent, I was too tired, so I came back early, still waiting for news from them. Mi Huang slowly sat up with the quilt, looked directly into his gaze, and replied softly.
If Ao Ziyan suddenly lowered his head when he heard this, his eyes slowly narrowed, "You didn't find Cheng Xian'er, when Cheng Jia came back, how would Cheng Jia explain to him when he came back?"
Hearing this, Mi Huang showed a helpless expression, pulled the silk quilt on her body, and replied helplessly, "It's not that I deliberately lost Cheng Xian'er, it was she who wanted to go out, and I also sent someone to find it, but now I can't find it, what can I do, and it took a lot of effort, and now I'm tired to death." ”
When the man heard this, he looked at the woman with a tired face, not as if he was cheating, he grabbed her and pressed her back on the pillow, and chuckled, "Then let's reply to him like this, in short, we have done our best, perhaps, Cheng Xian'er accidentally walked into the mountains and forests, and has been buried in the forest fire!"
"Wildfires?"
Mi Huang frowned slightly, and sat up again with a surprised expression, "When did this happen? Then Cheng Xian'er won't run into the forest!"
Ruo Ao Ziyan shook his head when he saw this, "Then maybe, when Ruo Ao Yuejiao and I were hunting before, I don't know if the weather was too dry and caused the forest fire, or if someone deliberately set the fire, in short, now Yuejiao is fighting the fire!"
"No, then I have to send someone to take a look, in case something really happens, it's really hard to explain. ”
Ruo Ao Ziyan shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I've already sent someone to stay over there, if something really happens, it's useless for you to rush over now." And for Mrs. Xian, this is not a relief!"
After speaking, Ruo Ziyan sighed quietly.
"I just don't know if Gongzi also died in this fire, otherwise it's a pity today, all the plans are in vain!"
Ruo Ziyan's eyes were deep, his voice was low, he stretched out his hand to press Mi Huang back on the couch again, and said softly again, "Okay, you continue to rest, I'll go to the front of the golden tent, by the way, wait for the news, what's the situation, I'll tell you again when I come back later! The weather is hot, you fan the lady, don't get too hot." Then he got up and walked out.
"Yes, colt. ”
Si Qin and Si Hua sent Ruo Ao Ziyan all the way out, and when he took people away, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was almost scared to death just now, but I didn't expect a small incense burner to almost reveal the filling!"
Usually, if the master was in the house, the insect repellent incense would be lit all the time, and she was obviously not there, so naturally no maid dared to use such an extremely expensive spice to repel mosquitoes.
But Mi Huang is not as optimistic as they thought, just if Ao Ziyan's words, it seems to be inadvertent, but every sentence has a meaning, looking at the man's figure gradually disappeared in the deep night, Emei gradually wrinkled, if Ao Ziyan walked out of the tent far away, finally paused, his eyes deepened, "Mi Huang, why did you lie to me again?"
"You set that fire, right?
"Qingpu, call the frightening wind, they take a good look at the scene after the fire. ”
"Yes, Childe. When Qingpu heard this, his heart froze.
After a night, the forest fire was finally extinguished, but no one found the body of Gongzizhi or Ruo Ao Ziyan, and no one found the trace of Cheng Xian'er, and the two of them were like being burned to ashes by the fire, and evaporated from the world.
