Chapter 5: Deep Disappointment
Their figures stretched longer and longer on the water, and the sunset behind them illuminated the sky red, Chu Ruyue turned her head to look at the sunset in the west, her fingers brushed the hair in front of her forehead, and there was a faint kind of inexplicable joy in her heart.
Jiang Chen saw a black shadow in the water, not small, and his right hand quickly took out the knife and plunged into the water with a "plop".
The water began to churn, as if something was struggling, and the bright red blood stained the surrounding stream red.
Jiang Chen lifted the knife, and there was a black-backed big catfish strung on the tip of the knife, and its tail was still swaying from side to side.
"Miss Chu, look!" Jiang Chen happily held the catfish in front of her, thinking that their food had fallen tonight.
Chu Ruyue looked at the catfish in front of her, and a lot of water droplets were thrown on her face by it, which was a little cold. She looked down at the smiling man again, blinking her big eyes, and for a moment she didn't understand what he was showing off to herself.
She saw that his eyes had been staring at her, and said in a half-loud voice, "You knife fast!" and said as she raised her hand to wipe the water from her face.
Jiang Chen saw her wiping her cheeks, and hurriedly put it down, blaming himself for being negligent, so he continued to hold the reins in front and look underwater.
She looked at the man's short black shiny and messy hair, gently swaying in the wind, his handsome side face was a little tough, he was the first desolate she came into contact with.
Her hometown is in the west of the Eastern Wilderness, and when she was a child, she often heard her mother say that the Yi people in the Eastern Wilderness drink blood, speak and act vulgarly, have fangs and ugly, and eat people.
When I was naughty when I was a child, I would be scared by my mother: "If you don't obey, you will be arrested sooner or later, and they like to eat disobedient children the most." Every time she heard this, she was so frightened that she cried and begged her father to drive the people away.
Later, when I grew up, I no longer believed in the tricks I used to deceive children in my childhood, but because of the shadow of my childhood, I naturally didn't have a good impression of desolation.
She had also occasionally read books about the Eastern Wilderness, and knew that the Yi people were actually no different from them, although the Yi people mentioned in the books were not as unbearable as the folk rumors, but the words were also full of disdain and contempt, and the main reason was that the overall level of the Desolate cultivation world was much lower than theirs.
However, although his cultivation is not as good as his own, he is not worse than the disciples of those sects in the outside world, and he must be an outstanding disciple cultivated by a certain sect in the Eastern Wilderness.
Thinking of this, she realized that she didn't know what his name was, and just wanted to ask him, but suddenly, her chest was tight, and the sky was spinning in front of her, and she lost consciousness in a moment and fell headlong.
Jiang Chen felt her fall behind him, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick her up, seeing her fainting, he immediately panicked, and the catfish that had just come up didn't want it, so he ran to the shore with her.
Jiang Chendong looked around, and finally found a cave on a high soil slope, hugged her in, and looked at her somewhat pale face and didn't know what to do, so he could only guard her beside her.
This cave is not very big, it seems to be left by bear-like beasts, there are many weeds at the entrance of the cave that are relatively hidden, Jiang Chen collected a lot of dead grass nearby and laid it for her, she is weak now, I am afraid that she will not be able to bear the cold air on the ground.
"General!" Nearly 100 Great Wei guards also followed the hoof prints and chased them to the edge of the stream, and when they saw a black figure standing by the stream, they shouted to worship.
Wang Zuo saw that his subordinates had arrived, and he did not waste time, and ordered: "You immediately search this vicinity carefully, and if you find any clues, send a signal immediately." ”
"Yes!"
The crowd was ordered to scatter and search.
Wang Zuo was puzzled, he had checked all four weeks, and there were no footprints at all, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
The last bit of light of the setting sun disappeared on the distant western horizon, and the night covered the earth again, Jiang Chen in the cave looked at the figure lying on the ground, a little anxious, a little sad, and a little panicked.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a little disgusted that his cultivation was too low, disgusted with his weakness and powerlessness, and a trace of dark joy brought by the sword that came out naturally today also dissipated.
Previously, he had been cultivating desperately to break free from the dark cage. After escaping from there, he continued to cultivate, wanting to become stronger, not to let the previous tragedy repeat itself, and he also wanted to be able to ...... one day , He also has a very hazy idea in his heart, which is a little unrealistic, and now he just silently puts it in the bottom of his heart.
All this seemed too far away to him, and he felt that he still had a lot of time, but now, the sense of urgency was so strong.
"Cold" "Cold"
There was a slight whisper in her ears, and Chu Ruyue rolled up.
Jiang Chen stretched out his hand to visit, and the back of his hand touched her forehead, which was indeed a little cold.
The warm palm was immediately grabbed by her, greedily absorbing the heat on it.
Jiang Chen saw that her body began to tremble slightly, and knew that she must be very cold now, so he lay down on his side and hugged her whole person in his arms.
On the night of late autumn, the temperature was relatively cold, and Chu Ruyue, who had no true qi, was now like an ordinary person, and could not bear such a low cold.
Jiang Chen's body was like a furnace in the cold winter to her, warm and hot, she immediately hugged his body tightly, her delicate body was close to his chest, and her pretty face leaned on his shoulder.
Jiang Chen hugged her waist with one hand, and pressed her back with the other, wanting to convey some true qi to her to ward off the cold.
"Hmm"
With a coquettish cry, he looked down and saw the beautiful woman in his arms frowning, as if in pain.
Only then did he remember that the more the poison in her body encountered the true qi, the more powerful the attack became. He immediately let go, and could only use his true qi to make his body hotter.
She was in her arms, a little soft, a little cold, it was the first time he hugged a woman like this, of course, he had never touched a woman's body before today, his heart was a little itchy, a little throbbing, and he secretly thought: "Is a woman's body like this, soft and fragrant?"
He thought of the red figure again, and he didn't know if she was like this, and suddenly his heart sank, and he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with him now, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't find anything wrong there.
In her arms, she moved her body, rubbing her face against his shoulder, and changed to a more comfortable place. He could feel the delicate smoothness of her skin, looked down at her innocent appearance, remembered her bandaging her wounds, remembered her tenderness, his heart was hot, he gently hugged her body, he liked the feeling of holding her very much, and thought in his heart how good it would be if he could always hold her like this in the future.
The previous excessive blood loss made his body tired for a long time, and with the indescribable comfort, gradually, his eyelids began to droop.
Just as the two people in the cave fell asleep, Wang Zuo in the distance was thinking hard about the bonfire, and he was in an irritable mood, and there was no trace of the search that had just expanded the scope of the area, and he felt powerless for a while, but his intuition told him that they were not far away.
Early morning. A few rays of sunlight shone into the not-so-spacious cave.
Chu Ruyue slowly opened her eyes, she hadn't slept so peacefully and soundly like last night for a long time, if it weren't for the strange appearance from her body that woke her up, she could sleep a little longer.
The first thing I saw in my hazy eyes was a man's face, very close to him, with sword eyebrows and big eyes, and an artificially carved face, handsome with a bit of toughness, and a little wild in masculinity.
Chu Ruyue was taken aback, only to find that the person in front of her was holding her firmly in her arms with both hands, and she was still holding his body and leaning on his chest, she hurriedly pulled out her hands to support his chest and wanted to separate, but she was pitiful with little strength, and she couldn't separate his arms at all.
Busy and wriggling her body, trying to escape from his arms, such intimate contact made her a little flustered, and her face was red with shame.
She had never been so intimate with a man when she was so old, and she had fantasized that one day a handsome hero would suddenly appear in front of her, but it was only an occasional fantasy, and it was obviously not the bare-chested desolation in front of her.
Suddenly, his hands tightened behind his back, and he hugged her back firmly and pressed her tighter, looking up at him as if he was enjoying it.
Chu Ruyue had no choice but to honestly let him hold him so strongly, with his hands on his chest and his head down, his ears were hot, thinking that he had chosen to believe in him before, and felt that he was simple and interesting, and he could be relied on. For a while, shyness, panic, annoyance, and a strong disappointment came to his heart, and he couldn't help crying silently on his chest.
Jiang Chen was troubled by her, and he also woke up, feeling a hot liquid dripping on his chest, Chu Ruyue's body in his arms trembled slightly, and he looked down to see that she was crying with a pair of charming eyes, and tears kept pouring out and dripping on his chest.
Jiang Chen didn't know why she was like this for a while, and subconsciously stroked the hair on the back of her head with his hand, and said comfortingly: "What's wrong?"
Chu Ruyue was touched by him, and suddenly a warmth flowed through her body, and her heart was even more flustered, and she was at a loss for a while, raising her head to look at his eyes, her brain was a little blank.
Jiang Chen was also looking down at her, the tears contained in the big watery eyes would fall at any time, the previous tears left two lines of marks on her face were clearly visible, and there was a trace of blush in the sickly paleness of the pretty face, which was pitiful, and his heart was touching, and he had the urge to take care of her for a while.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little frozen.
Chu Ruyue suddenly lowered her head and bit his shoulder, just above the wound she bandaged him yesterday, Jiang Chen's wound was slightly painful, and he didn't understand why she suddenly bit herself, and looked at her with some confusion.
Chu Ruyue bit hard, her mouth was sore, but she didn't hear his scream, and bit harder, so she let go of it when it was really sore, and glared at him fiercely.
Looking down and seeing some blood oozing from the white cloth that bandaged the wound, he recalled that he was still worried about him yesterday, and now he showed his prototype and showed his tail, taking advantage of his weakness to despise himself, coveting his beauty, but he didn't expect him to be like that.
Suddenly, all the grievances and pains in my heart could no longer be stopped like a flood that burst the dam, and tears poured out in a stream, and my body convulsed and cried loudly.
Jiang Chen sat her up and leaned into his arms and sobbed, and asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?"
Chu Ruyue cried even more sadly when she heard this, she was bullied by him like this and asked her what was wrong, and she was even more aggrieved in her heart. Gradually, crying harder and harder, she wanted to pour out all the sorrow and pain in the past six months.
"You go away" Chu Ruyue cried, pushing his chest with both hands, she didn't want to see him now.
Jiang Chen felt like she was venting the grief in her heart, maybe her current strength was lost, just like an ordinary person, her heart was also much weaker, and the negative emotions she had accumulated before found an opportunity to vent at this moment.
Jiang Chen looked at her pitiful appearance of the rainstorm pear blossoms, and felt a little distressed, but seeing that she didn't want to stay by her side, he got up and walked out, leaving her alone and quiet for a while.
Chu Ruyue didn't expect him to really walk out so happily, she was stunned in her heart, and then scolded in her heart: "What kind of upright gentleman are you pretending to be now? The hypocritical big-tailed wolf, a womanizer, is not a thing." ”
