Starting again, Gao Xi walked in front of him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoFirst, it was to explore the way so as to ensure the safety of Gao Ran, who was closely behind; second, it was also to regain the initiative -- if he led the way, then the few people behind him, especially Dong Tianyi, could only follow him obediently! He wanted him to know that he was on an equal footing with him, and that he would never succumb to him!

Although Gao Xi himself felt that he was really naïve to do this!

It can only be said that it was not until the "rival in love" really appeared in front of his eyes, and the other party really made him feel threatened, that he really understood the gap between imagination and reality! It seems that the real situation is: it is really difficult for him to remain calm!

As a matter of fact, from the moment he confirmed Dong Tianyi's true identity, there was always a fire burning in his heart! This feeling made him very vigilant! He always had a feeling: It seemed that as long as he relaxed a little, this fire could erupt at any time regardless of the occasion and irrationally!

But obviously, he himself knew that the current situation did not allow him to act so casually! Otherwise, Gao Ran would definitely be disappointed in him.

"Alas!" Gao Xi couldn't help but sigh lightly. In fact, compared to his current patience, in his heart, there is actually something that has always troubled and entangled him at this moment. He wanted to get rid of that thought, but the more he tried to get rid of it, the more he was entangled in that thought!

As a result, unconsciously, Gao Xi, who was in charge of finding and leading the way in front, drove his horse faster and faster! At last, as if he had completely forgotten that there were people following him, he suddenly rode his horse without warning!

When Gao Ran saw them, he thought that he had discovered the clues of the water source closest to them, so he ran straight without saying hello. Therefore, seeing that he was running away soon, in order not to lose him, they could only hurriedly drive their horses to chase after him!

But fortunately, although Gao Xi was only distracted and lost in his own thoughts for a while, and then as if to vent the depression brought about by the thought in his heart that was now tightly entangled in almost all of his thoughts, he instinctively wanted to vent this depressed emotion in his heart as soon as possible through the sense of speed brought to him by galloping his horse!

Had it not been for the fact that the horse had trampled on the wet, fluffy mud of the waterbank, and insisted on stopping to drink and raising his head and neighing, thus waking him up from his thoughts, he would not have known how long he would have galloped?

It was only at this time that Gao Xi finally realized what he had just done?!

Although he himself was astonished at such a rare aberration, he knew that now was not the time for him to lament this! he knew that he had made a mistake, and that if he did not get it right, the consequences would be serious—at least, it would be troublesome to make up for it: for they would probably not be able to catch up with him if they suddenly galloped without saying hello, as he had just done!

"Ran'er!" Thinking of what was most likely and what he was most afraid of discovering at the moment, Gao Xi immediately turned his horse's head anxiously and looked back.

Had it not been for the faint hearing of the sound of horses' hooves approaching him in the direction he was looking back, Gao Xi would have driven his horse back at once, hoping to meet them again before they had completely deviated from the direction! Otherwise, it would not have been easy to find their traces again in this vast grassland! -- after all, he did not know whether there were other people here besides them, and whether the other party was friend or foe, it was not known! Since he would be cautious and vigilant, then Gao Ran and his party would naturally be cautious and vigilant, in this way, if they were really separated, then if he wanted to find them again, it would become even more difficult!

Although Gao Xi was anxious to hurry back at the moment, he knew that he had to be patient for the time being! He had to wait until he confirmed the true identity of those who were getting closer and closer to him, whether it was Gao Ran, or some other stranger, before he could decide his next move according to the specific circumstances of the time!

So, he deliberately dismounted, and quietly hid himself and the horse in this thicket of grass that was obviously more lush and tall than the one where they met Dong Tianyi before!

And at this moment, Gao Ran, who had barely managed to catch up here, found that she could no longer hear the sound of horses' hooves when Gao Xi galloped ahead, and she couldn't see him at all, she immediately guessed vigilantly: he had probably stopped! But somehow, he didn't make even a little sound like a "signal" to inform them of his specific location......

"What's going on?" Gao Ran couldn't help frowning slightly, and the whole person couldn't help but be more vigilant than before.

Her first instinctive judgment was: Didn't Gao Ximo encounter some danger, so he deliberately concealed his whereabouts?

Thinking like this, Gao Ran patted Dong Tianyi's hand, Dong Tianyi immediately lowered his head and looked at her consciously, and then immediately quickly pulled the reins in his hand and kicked Mi'er, who immediately slowed down his speed and walked slower and slower, and finally stopped at all.

And Zhao Yi, who was following them, immediately slowed down the horse's movement when he realized that they seemed to be intending to stop, but at the same time, he deliberately let the horse gradually catch up with them, and finally, when they finally stopped completely, he also happened to walk to their side and stopped together.

At this moment, although Gao Xi and Gao Ran were actually only separated by less than 100 meters, they were not sure whether the other party was friend or foe, so they both "tacitly" chose to stand still first. But it is clear that such a situation cannot and should not last long......

In the end, Zhao Yi, who was still experienced, opened his mouth first: "Oh! I seem to hear the sound of water! After running all the way, we can finally rest for a while! Besides, it's getting dark this day, so let's just rest here for a while!"

Zhao Yi's words not only literally made the other party understand that they were just passing travelers; more importantly, when he said this, he deliberately used four layers of internal force! This made him, even if he only whispered a few words to the person next to him a hundred meters away, as if he was unintentionally, but he could make the other party a hundred meters away easily hear every word he said! At the same time, he also clearly knew the threat he might have!

And Zhao Yi's purpose was to deliberately say this to the other party, just to say "hello" to the other party and let the other party know: "We have no malicious intentions, but we are not easy to mess with!"

Therefore, the four layers of internal force he deliberately used will not hurt the listener in the slightest, but it can let anyone with a little experience in the rivers and lakes know that he is by no means an object to be provoked! Therefore, no matter whether the other party is friend or foe, it is not difficult to understand that the wisest choice he can make at this moment is to live peacefully with them for one night.

"Senior Zhao! It turned out to be Senior Zhao! Hahahaha, it turned out to be a false alarm! I am Gao Xi!" After responding to Zhao Yi's "greeting", Gao Xi generously let the horse stand up again, and jumped on the horse.

In this way, Gao Ran and his party could naturally easily see Gao Xi, who was only a hundred meters away from them!

"Hmm?ah!ha......ha It's a shame to say! But it's funny!

And Gao Ran couldn't laugh. She only sighed a little depressedly, but at the same time she finally dared to breathe a small sigh of relief.

And Dong Tianyi, who was sitting behind her, was immediately keenly aware of her small mood swings. So, he tapped her shoulder twice at the right time, and then gently attached himself to her shoulder—neither intent on moving away, but also not completely pressing the weight of his palm on her shoulder, with just the right amount of force.

Although he didn't say anything, his small action made Gao Ran feel inexplicably reassured! This made even her own feel very surprised! But she couldn't deny it: the moment he patted her shoulder with his warm, wide hand, she really realized that even if she really encountered possible danger, she would not be alone! He would be by her side! And when he lightly attached his hand to her shoulder with just the right amount of force, she did feel the temperature slightly higher than hers coming from his palm, and the moderate heaviness that he deliberately applied to her shoulder, she did feel a feeling of "she was protected by him"! And also has this strength to protect her to the greatest extent!

The sense of security that Dong Tianyi conveyed to Gao Ran through such small actions made her inadvertently remember for a moment the feeling he felt when she said goodbye to him more than four years ago, and he hugged her - he could always make her feel an inexplicable "sense of belonging" because of him: this feeling would always make her believe that no matter how far she went or how long she walked, as long as she wanted, there would always be a place in this world that she could always go back to-that was by his side.

Although more than four years have passed, although she has not had such a feeling for a long time, and even so long that she has almost forgotten such a feeling, when Dong Tianyi appeared again, she still had this feeling again because of him!

This fact made Gao Ran clearly realize and face it up to it for the first time: it seems that for her, this inexplicable "sense of belonging" and this inexplicable sense of security can only be given to her by Dong Tianyi in the whole world!
