When Yun Xiao woke up, there was a vague bonfire jumping in front of him.

In the deep forest, the sound of insects and beasts roaring sounded from time to time, rippling far away in the mountains and forests.

The cold moon overhead invaded people, and the fire in front of them was soaring.

The man in black and the red cherry blossom settled down, and turned his eyes to look at the people who were sleeping in groups around him, they were lying or leaning, there were men, women and children, and they were sleeping very peacefully, and they forgot the sorrow of the world.

In the distance, two men in the form of grown men whispered something to the smaller campfire, laughing once or twice from time to time. It should be a vigil, but look at it and talk at night.

Yun Xiao stared at the sleeping face of a little girl sleeping next to the bonfire, her expression was a little dazed, and she didn't know where she was for a while. The mind is blank.

When it rained arrows, it rained down from above, and there was a "bang" in my head, and I heard the sound of entering the water...... He woke up suddenly, remembering as if it had only been a moment ago.

The man in black and red cherry blossoms suffocated in his voice, and said in a hurry in his heart: Master?!

The man who was sitting on the tree beside the campfire suddenly leaned forward and looked for it in a hurry.

As soon as he moved, he felt a weight on his shoulders.

The man who was already sweating his back turned his eyes and saw that the man with his heart was leaning on his right shoulder, as if he was asleep.

Yun Xiao only glanced at it, and was in a trance for a while...... The person beside her was still as white as snow, slightly stained with forest leaf dust, her hands were lightly tied in front of her lower abdomen, and she knelt diagonally on a few clumps of hay, leaning against the big tree, and resting lightly on her shoulders with her eyes closed.

A peaceful and tranquil look, a quiet and stable appearance.

Yun Xiao felt that his heart was full of heat for a while, and his thoughts, thoughts, loves, and protection were close at hand, and he felt like a dream, and this scene was like a dream, and it was shattered at the touch of a touch.

For a moment, some dementia stared blankly at her pale and weak in the firelight, with her eyes closed......

Listen to her breathing lightly as she leans on her shoulder.

The woman in white who was close to his shoulder suddenly frowned in her sleep, her eyelashes fluttered for a moment, and she called out in a low voice: "Xiao Er......"

Yun Xiao was slightly stunned when she heard this, and her heart was full of softness and wanted to reach out to touch her face.

Just a slight movement of the left hand, I felt the pain of stiffness and pulling.

Yun Xiao turned his head to see that his left arm, which had not healed before, had been re-fixed and bandaged, and the long sleeves of the black clothes were wrapped with white cloth, and the entire left arm was tied straight, neither with force nor bending.

Yun Xiao gently lowered his left arm.

At this time, Fang Youfelt the stinging sensation of pins and needles in the palm of his right hand, and when he looked down, he saw that the place above his right wrist that had been shot by an iron arrow when falling off the cliff had been bandaged by an arrow, and the palm of his right hand was also wrapped with a thin layer of white veil, and he could smell the fragrance of two familiar herbs to remove poison.

It should have been the master who gave him acupuncture poison and then applied medicine and wrapped gauze.

He was originally a strange blood clan, and he could lighten the poison in his body, but at this time, the feeling of poisoning and paralysis in his right hand was long gone, and the poison in his palm should have gone.

Yun Xiao closed his eyes and stared at the internal force for a few weeks, thinking about the current situation, and couldn't help but turn his eyes to look at the woman beside him.

In the past, people with extremely keen five senses and would definitely wake up as long as there were living people by their side, but now they seem to be asleep peacefully around the bonfire surrounded by everyone, Yun Xiao can see her chest rise and fall slightly, breathing lightly back and forth.

The man in black and red cherry blossoms was silent for a moment, feeling the confusion of the bonfire, and couldn't help but turn his head and kiss her hair on his shoulder and on the top of his head.

The bonfires in the deep woods and wilderness are separated, and the long night is silent. The cold moon is like a glow, spreading in this corner of the world and a corner of the mountains.

Yun Xiao was next to her, and she felt that she was stable in this life and had nothing else to ask for. Full of softness.

He reached out and picked up the coarse linen cloth that someone had covered him, clumsily but carefully covered the woman beside him, and then leaned against the tree behind him, and closed his eyes again to take a nap.

Thinking back to the situation at that time, he had already guessed that he and his master should have been rescued by the people in the forest, and they were being photographed by them at this time, treating his injuries while waiting for him to wake up.

When he opened his eyes again, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the two men who were keeping vigil and chatting in the distance were looking at him, as if they were aware of his awakening, and were looking at him.

Yun Xiao glanced back at the two of them, and realized that they were tall and had curled foreheads, and they should belong to the Qiang people.

After his heart was slightly chilled, the man in black and red cherry blossoms nodded to the two quietly, his face showed warmth, and he thought of being rescued, with some gratitude on his face.

The two of them were stunned for a moment when they saw the gratitude on Yun Xiao's face, and then looked back shyly and nodded without looking at him again.

"Green ......"

Hearing the unconscious whispering in the mouth of the person beside him, Yun Xiao's heart was shocked, and he turned his head to look at her.

I saw the woman leaning lightly on her shoulder, her eyes trembled in her sleep, and two tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, slowly flowing down her cheeks, wetting the black clothes on her shoulders.

Yun Xiao looked at her, looked at her, and his heart ached slightly.

The next day, the sound of birds singing in the forest, the neighing of horses, and Yun Xiao woke up again.

Later, he stared at the person beside him in a trance, and slowly closed his eyes, feeling the tiredness of the serious injuries on his body that had not healed and added new injuries, and after closing his eyes again, he became drowsy again.

Because of the Yin and Yang Gu, the day and night in his body are reversed, the yin and yang are reversed, the body is cold during the day, and the body is warm and ironed at night, and he doesn't feel cold when he sits in the forest and sleeps.

At this time, the sky was slightly white, the sun and the moon intersected, and Duanmu was kneeling in front of him to check on his injuries.

The man in black and red cherry blossoms opened his eyes, and Xue Wa'er, who was shrunk in Duanmu's arms, poked her head out and looked at Yun Xiao with big black eyes, and called softly: "Giggles." ”

Duanmu Xiaoxian immediately raised his eyes: "Xiao Er is awake?"

Yun Xiao saw the flash of comfort in her empty eyes, and knew that her five senses were weak, so she immediately let out a warm "um" sound: "Xiao'er is awake." Then he also stretched out his right hand to check the woman's pulse, and checked her body.

Duanmu didn't stop him, let him hold his hand between her pulses, and said softly: "I'm fine...... It's just that the days are numbered, and the remnants are the same, and you know it...... Then you don't have to worry too much. ”

Yun Xiao leaned against the tree and listened to her words, his eyes calm and soothing. After a while, he said a soft "um" again, and at the same time leaned closer, stretched out his right hand to hug the woman, and whispered to her: "Hmm...... I know. ”

Duanmu Xiaoxian was stunned by him, and then came back to his senses in an instant, and Fang remembered what he said to him in the heavy rain that night.

In hindsight, it seems that they are no longer a pure master-apprentice relationship......

The woman's heart couldn't help but jump for a moment, some were jealous, some were panicked, some were palpitating, some were empty, and some were relieved.

The man in white hesitated for a moment, then reached out and hugged Yun Xiao back, snuggled lightly on the side of his chest and neck, and said softly: "This is already the case with my body...... But you have a strange Gu in your body, and the days are cold and the nights are warm, and although the injury heals quickly, it still makes me feel worried......"

Duanmu Xiaoxian couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows slightly, and asked him lightly: "This Gu is really harmless, it's just a medicine Gu that Senior Sister gave you to strengthen your body?"

At this time, the sky is gray.

Most of the bonfires that had been burning in the forest all night had been extinguished, and wisps of light smoke mixed with a thin mist swirled around the two of them.

Most of the sleeping Qiang people around have not yet woken up.

Yun Xiao hugged her in his arms, slowly lowered his head to find her lips and kissed her, and a soft response overflowed from his mouth: "Hmm." ”

Duanmu Xiaoxian was worried, and when the young man's snort sprayed on her face, she was stunned, and then the two lips touched, and Duanmu Xiaoxian couldn't help but be kissed by him.

Feeling the warmth of the person beside her passed through the lips of the two of them, she was slightly shocked at first, and then her ears were red...... When he thought of the many Qiang people lying beside him, his face was dark, and he hurriedly turned his head to avoid Yun Xiao's lips.

Duanmu Xiaoxian pushed him away vigorously, lowered his head and said, "You, you have passed out for two days...... But, do you feel hungry?"

Yun Xiao was avoided and pushed away by her, not annoyed at all, only looked at her with warm eyebrows, and the sinking Xiao in his eyes flashed as he wished, avoiding the woman's previous question.

The morning sun is getting brighter and the sun is rising.

After a short time, the Qiang people who had been sleeping in the forest all got up and moved, and when they saw Yun Xiao wake up, they all showed joy.

Yun Xiao felt how simple their faces were, and the busy people who came and went were Qiang people in coarse cloth and short clothes, curled foreheads, and black and yellow faces, including men and women, about dozens of people, like a small village where the whole family moved to go, there were horses and ox carts, and a big carriage with a black curtain was parked not far from the forest. It should be full of clothes and quilts.

I didn't know it at night, but at this time, Yun Xiao patrolled one or two more, and he also saw more than a dozen Han people from the Central Plains who looked closer to him and his master, had straighter hair, and had whiter faces.

They spoke fluent and stumbling Qiang, and were busy with the Qiang, occasionally with children running around their laps to help out with small favors.

Yun Xiao thought that among those Han people, men should have married Qiang women, and women married Qiang men.

All for the family.

In this forest, they wash and dry their clothes, or bake and eat, or cook corn steamed cakes, or sew and mend clothes, or organize their bags, as if they are about to rest temporarily on a long journey.

Duanmu Xiaoxian took the corner of the clothes of one of the Qiang women with one hand, and she led it to Yun Xiao's side, and then groped to sit down beside him.

Yun Xiao knew that she had crossed most of her five senses like ordinary people because of Yuan Li, so he immediately reached out to help her.

The Qiang woman spoke in a Qiang language that Yun Xiao didn't understand, and reached out to Yun Xiao to hand a bowl of fish soup, and at the same time stuffed two buns and two cakes for him.

Duanmu Xiaoxian translated: "If you don't feel enough, you can call her again." ”

Yun Xiao nodded and thanked the woman.

The Qiang woman looked at the two of them with a smile, turned and walked away.

"Master, can I have breakfast?"

Duanmu nodded gently: "She led me over to drink some corn soup and rice porridge, and then led me back to you." ”

Yun Xiao listened to the warmth between his eyebrows, and ate the buns and cakes in his hand with the fish soup, then closed his eyes and then pranayama, and ran his internal force for Zhou Tian.

The woman's voice was a little confused, and she said slowly beside him: "They said that they are the Qiang people in the area of Ningzhou Frogs, because of the Xia Qiang war, they were bullied by Han officials in the territory of Great Xia, and it was difficult to survive, so they moved the village to the north of Frogflies...... I want to go along the shore of the Frog Water to the Yuewang County that has fallen into the hands of the Qiang pawns...... There was a person named Kyushu Xu, the son of the Han and Qiang people, and the Qiang people who returned to the Han land very much, and many Han and Qiang people voluntarily gathered around him to make a living. ”

Yun Xiao heard her silence, and couldn't help but open her eyes and look back at the woman: "What is Master thinking?"

The woman's eyes were empty, half silent, half mournful, half sad: "What do I think...... It is the right and wrong of Xiqiang and Xia. ”

The woman looked in the direction where Yun Xiao was, and said lightly: "Do you know that the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, beheaded all over the house, and the first two Ningzhou assassins Xu Huai and Zhou Lang who were exiled by the family...... In the eyes of the Qiang people and most Han people in the land of Ningzhou...... Are they all good officials who love the people like sons......?"

Yun Xiao was slightly stunned when he heard this.

The woman's voice suddenly became far away, revealing endless sorrow: "The Qiang people have been bullied when they enter the Han Dynasty, and only in Ningzhou, which is close to Xiqiang, can they live in peace because of the history of assassination. When Xu Huai was in office, Ningzhou was the only state that regarded the Qiang people and the Han people as equals...... Here, the Qiang people and the Han people have been integrated...... But in addition to other boundaries, the Qiang people are being bullied when they enter the Han Dynasty, so more and more Qiang people who enter the Han Dynasty have come to Ningzhou, and more than seventy percent of the people in Ningzhou have been Qiang people in the past hundred years, and even Xu Huai's wife and mother are also Qiang people...... It was only because a large area of Han land did not tolerate the Qiang people, and after the Xia Qiang war, the Xia Qiang people were even more abused, so Xu Huai raised troops to fight against the Xiqiang ...... He and Zhou Lang both wanted Ningzhou to be included in Xiqiang, so that the Qiang people here would not be bullied again. ”
