"Little one, this king asks you something. Ye Luqing's eyes looked at the position in the center of the hot spring pool, he was going to leave directly, but the lingering back in his mind made Ye Luqing stop.

The absent-minded Ji Liuli didn't hear what Ye Luqing said. "Huh?"

Ye Luqing took two steps to the edge of the hot spring pool, and the heat rising from the hot spring pool was like a plain white veil, blinding Ye Luqing's sight. In order to see the outline of the hot spring pool more clearly, Yeluqing's eyes were slightly empty.

Trying his best, failing to see through the illusory heat, Ye Luqing withdrew his gaze and looked at Ji Liuli, who was standing stupidly on the side. "Have you ever seen a woman in this hot pool?"

"Woman, what woman?" Ji Liuli looked at Ye Luqing inexplicably, where did the woman come from in this hot spring pool?" "I stayed by your side all night, and no one came in, how could there be any woman." ”

"Really?" said to the first thing in his life that he doubted what he saw with his eyes. "Is it the king's body that longs for a woman? In a half-dream, half-awake, he has the illusion of a woman bathing in a hot spring pool. ”

"!!" Ji Liuli raised her head in a panic and looked at Ye Luqing, it turned out that the peeping sight she noticed in her bath was indeed from Ye Luqing.

"Let's go, little one, go back to camp. Ye Luqing, who really regarded the woman in the hot spring pool as an illusion, raised her feet and walked towards the only passage in the cave. "In another hour the sky will be light, and the king does not want others to see this king. ”

Walking behind Ye Luqing silently, Ji Liuli knew that she had escaped by luck, and she was a little weak-hearted, so she didn't take the initiative to talk to Ye Luqing again.

Quiet, uninterrupted dense woods.

One in front and one behind, two figures.

The man in front of him was tall and muscular, handsome and dashing, his steps like flying, and his light black hair fluttering in the wind, as perfect as a god walking out of those famous paintings.

Woman in the rear...... No, it's a man, thin and petite, raged clothes, and only the bright hair and unblinking eyes can compare with a man.

Suddenly, the thin man behind him stopped, looking nervous.

"Wait......" Ji Liuli called Ye Luqing, she seemed to smell a very familiar smell...... Like ...... Wild wolf!

Ye Luqing, who turned to face Ji Liuli, saw the frightened expression on Ji Liuli's face, thinking that something had happened to Ji Liuli, and her heart went up and down, "What's wrong?

Taking a deep breath, Ji Liuli approached Ye Luqing, grabbed his sleeve, hid behind him and kept looking left and right, worried that the wild wolf would appear in front of them in an instant. "I smell the wolf smell of the wolf. ”

"Wild wolf?" calmed down and listened in all directions, Ye Luqing, who had deep internal strength, accurately probed the number and location of the wild wolf. "Seventeen heads, a mile away......"

"Seventeen heads?" Ji Liuli's legs were weak, and she sat on the ground, she didn't expect to meet wolves when she came out on this trip, and she didn't carry the embroidered sachet used to drive away the beasts, how could this be good?

Before she had time to think, Ye Luqing bent down and pulled Ji Liuli and pushed her under the thick locust tree on her right, which was three meters tall, but it was the tallest and safest tree in the vicinity. "Little one, you climb up the tree. ”

In the spirit of dedication to the injured, Ji Liuli asked the injured Yeluqing to climb the tree first, and if the wolves came during this period, she could still resist for a while. "You are the wounded, you first. ”

"This king is going to clean up this herd of brutes. Ye Luqing, who knew that the wolves were getting closer and closer, stood in front of Ji Liuli, urging Xiao Bu'er. "Little one, go up quickly. ”

Ji Liuli decisively rejected Ye Luqing's kindness, although Ji Liuli is a woman, but she will not understand what the word 'righteousness' is, not to mention that as a doctor, it is impossible for her to leave an injured patient to face the wolves alone for her own life. "No, you have a wound, I can't leave you alone. ”

"Out of the way. Faced with Ji Liuli's worries about his injury, Ye Luqing chose a way that Ji Liuli couldn't refuse.

Ye Luqing's right hand wrapped around Ji Liuli's waist, and on tiptoe, he jumped on the branch.

"Ahh Ji Liuli let out a low roar in hindsight, wrapped her hands around Ye Luqing's bewitching neck, turned her face sideways and looked down at the ground, and then quickly retracted her head and buried it in Ye Luqing's chest, ignoring the bare skin on his chest. "Yeluqing, what are you doing?"

"Don't move. Pulling down the two hands of the little one, Ye Luqing gently pushed Ji Liuli away. "I'll go back as soon as I go. ”

Jumping off the branch, Yeluqing was ready to deal with the surprise attack of the wolves at any time.

The wolves are cunning, the IQ is not lower than that of normal adults, and they are good at group combat, and Yeluqing, who is single-handed, has to be cautious, cautious, and cautious.

"Yeluqing, come up, the wolves will return to their dens at dawn. Ji Liuli persuaded Yeluqing to return to the branches to avoid the wolves, the wolves' activities are limited to night, and they will return to their nests when the sky is slightly bright.

Ji Liuli didn't want Ye Luqing to risk his life to slaughter the wolves, this approach was nothing more than asking for his own death.

"I'm on the ground to protect your life. A wild wolf came into Yeluqing's line of sight, and Yeluqing quickly turned sideways to avoid the wolf's pounce. "Little one, the wild wolves here, they are extremely fierce, they have strong jumping power, and they are even more ruthless when it comes to belly food, not like the tame wild wolves you have encountered. ”

As if confirming Yeluqing's words, the wild wolf that rushed over his head jumped around and opened his bloody mouth at Yeluqing. "Roar. ”

Yeluqing has led the troops to garrison this place for three years, and he knows very well the habits of these wolves in the woods, if he goes up the trees together, then ...... Both of them will surely die.

"......" At the moment, Ji Liuli was speechless, and what echoed in her mind was Ye Luqing's words that made her feel safe.

He, on the ground, was there to protect her life???

He, on the ground, was there to protect her life......

He, on the ground, was there to protect her life!!

That's right, saving Ji Liuli's life is Ye Luqing's responsibility, this is Ye Luqing's promise, this is Ye Luqing...... The truest thoughts from the heart.

He didn't want Ji Liuli, his cute little bit, to be hurt in the slightest.

Absolutely not.

Fight for his life, he will protect Ji Liuli's thoughtfulness, protect Ji Liuli's carefreeness, and protect Ji Liuli's smile.

It's just that...... Why? Why did he think that way?

Protecting Ji Liuli is his unshirkable responsibility, but Ji Liuli's carefree and smiling face, what does he do?
