Chapter 314
"In this wilderness, have you ever regretted it, if it weren't for my lack of ability, you and Fan Fan would probably be resting in the bedroom. Mobile phone access m.
Fu Puyue doesn't like Xie Bai to say this, it seems that he will belittle himself worthless, such a decadent atmosphere Xie Bai should not have, in Fu Puyue's heart, Xie Bai should be the kind of strategist, don't pay attention to anything, and will face it with a calm expression.
So she stood up, found a branch, and plucked the dead branch from the fire that had just risen together with the two people in front of her, and the fire "crackled" and burned even more vigorously. When Xie Bai saw her like this, he knew that she seemed to be angry again, so he walked over cautiously and poked her back: "What's wrong with you?"
Fu Puyue ignored him, Xie Bai poked again unwilling to be lonely, and Fu Puyue said with an unhappy face: "When you started the fire, you said that you were going to hunt game, but I haven't eaten a piece of meat until now!"
So he stood up a little helplessly: "Okay, you just sit here, wait for me to come back, don't run around, if something happens, just climb to the tree, if I come back and don't see you, I will look for you in the tree." Then he took his sword and went to the forest to look for game.
Fu Puyue sat boredly in place, poking at the fire in every kind of boredom, until it was about to be extinguished, and then lazily threw a few dead branches into the fire.
Suddenly, there was a trace of movement in the forest, Fu Puyue looked back vigilantly, and found that there was nothing there, and it could not be his own horse, there was a small lake nearby, and the forage by the lake was very delicious, so the two of them had just tied the horses there, after all, they had to hurry the next day, and they had to let the horses be fed.
Since it can't be a sound made by a horse, what could it be...... Fu Puyue was secretly vigilant in her heart, worried that it was her own delusion, so she listened attentively again, and then heard Fang Cai's "squirming" voice again, Fu Puyue didn't know what it was, so she could only hide for a while, and flew up the tree - although the martial arts are not very good, but there are still some martial arts foundations, and climbing a tree or something can be regarded as a piece of cake.
Just after she had just climbed up the tree, the tall bushes parted, and a gray animal appeared, Fu Puyue's pupils suddenly constricted, this turned out to be a gray wolf?!
She had read in a book that wolves were herd animals, and since there was a wolf here, it meant that there would be wolves around here. Maybe we're heading this way. Fu Puyue grabbed the trunk of the tree next to her fiercely, for fear that she would fall down accidentally. If she fights with street thugs, she can still do it, but if she comes face to face with a fierce beast like this, she will definitely suffer.
Fu Puyue was glad that she had just climbed the tree earlier, otherwise she would not be able to protect herself now.
But the strange thing is that Fu Puyue waited for a long time and didn't wait for the wolves to come, the wolf at the bottom turned around near the fire, and didn't find anything to eat, obviously smelling prey, but he couldn't find it.
At this moment, Xie Bai led the two rabbits back, and saw the old wolf wandering around under the tree, so his muscles tensed for a moment, and he threw the two rabbits that had been stunned by himself on the ground, and slashed at the gray wolf with his sword.
The gray wolf is the wolf king eliminated by the wolves, and has just escaped from the territory of the wolf pack, and has not eaten for a long time, and the long-distance travel has made it feel very tired, and it has no strength to chase live prey. Occasionally bite other animals and eat the leftover carcasses, and they will be quickly driven away.
So when Xie Bai's sword slashed to the top of his head, the gray wolf didn't have the slightest defense, and he didn't resist at all, so he was hacked to death by Xie Bai. After hacking the old wolf to death, Xie Bai took a few breaths, and then tentatively shouted: "Xiaoyue?" "Xie Bai." Hearing the response from the tree, Xie Bai breathed a sigh of relief, flew down and hugged her.
"Are you okay?" Xie Bai asked with some concern, raising his hand and touching her arms and legs as he asked, worrying about where she was injured and not telling herself in order not to worry about herself.
"It's fine. Fu Puyue stopped his restless hand with some amusement: "Hey, okay, it's really nothing, I heard movement when the gray wolf came, and I just climbed the tree, so it's okay." As he spoke, he patted Xie Bai's shoulder comfortingly.
Xie Bai was relieved to see that she was really fine, but still said to her: "If there is anything, you must tell me." Fu Puyue nodded with a smile, and then pretended to be very strong and patted her chest: "Don't worry, I'm very strong!" After speaking, the two of them glanced at each other, and then laughed at the same time.
Fu Puyue was holding two rabbits in her hands that were trembling after she was not easy to wake up, probably because she was scared by Xie Bai, and she didn't dare to run, Fu Puyue was a little crying and laughing, what did Xie Bai do to make these two reviews so scared.
Xie Bai saw that she really liked it, and she didn't plan to roast the rabbit, she skinned the gray wolf next to her and then roasted it on the fire, and when she was free, she looked at Fu Puyue, who was teasing the rabbit next to her, and was silently relieved in her heart, although she was worried about Fanfan, she still didn't want to see Fu Puyue depressed for Fanfan's things, and now she was her own favorite.
After Xie Bai finished the meat, Fu Puyue was a little reluctant to touch the hair on the rabbit's head again, and then put the two rabbits on the grass, the two rabbits first turned around in place a few times, and saw that Xie Bai no longer moved, so he "swished" into the grass.
Fu Puyue walked up to Xie Bai and took a small piece of calf that had been cut from him, this wolf is probably a perennial exercise, so the meat on the leg is very chewy, although there is no condiment, but Fu Puyue feels that it is still very delicious.
After eating, the two of them sat snuggled up for a while, and Xie Bai hugged Fu Puyue: "Let's take a good rest now, maybe in a few days, I won't be able to find such a good place to live." "If the weather is colder by then, it will be very lucky to be able to find a broken temple to live in.
"Uh-huh. Fu Puyue's mouth should be there, she also knew that when she was a ghost, she liked to look around, and the most people were frozen to death when it was cold, and it snowed all year round in the north, if the weather was colder, those two people really didn't know how to get through, let alone Fanfan.
"Then we will hurry up tomorrow?" Fu Puyue knew in her heart, so she said: "If the days go by faster, the sky should be cold." Xie Bai frowned and nodded, the two of them should hurry up. After all, the later this kind of thing drags on, the worse it will be.
When they were about to sleep, the two of them extinguished the torches, and Xie Bai climbed the tree with Fu Puyue in his arms, looking at her with some amusement on her face full of excitement: "The first time you slept on a tree?" Fu Puyue looked left and right, touching the thick trunk from time to time, although she had climbed the tree by herself, but it was the first time to sleep on the tree like tonight, and I didn't know how Xie Bai found this section of the trunk, the thick trunk was crisscrossed, and there was a place that was just enough for two people to lie in together, and even through the layers of leaves, you could see the infinite starry sky overhead.
Xie Bai looked at her with some fascination, and said with some amusement: "If you like this kind of starry sky, then take a good look, once you get close to the north, if the weather starts to deteriorate, then it is rare to see such a beautiful starry sky, but occasionally when it is clear, the stars on the northern snow field are much more beautiful than now." ”
Hearing him say this, Fu Puyue immediately began to imagine, his face was full of yearning, but soon found that something was wrong, obviously he had never been to the north, how could he know what the stars in the north were? Thinking of this, Fu Puyue couldn't help but look at him suspiciously.
Xie Bai seemed to know what he had missed, put one hand into a fist to his mouth, coughed dryly, and said, "I saw this in a book, that person has been to many places, the north, the south, and even the world outside here." Fu Puyue was successfully diverted by him, imagining the boundless sea that he occasionally saw in the south, imagining what kind of magical world there was beyond there.
Xie Bai hugged her and told her a lot about the outside world, and Fu Puyue seemed to be addicted to it and soon fell asleep. Xie Bai sighed, raised his hand and smoothed out her hair hanging next to her cheek, and then hugged her.
When she waited until the next day, Fu Puyue woke up but didn't find Xie Bai's figure, so she was suddenly a little anxious, Xie Bai had always been reluctant to take her to the north, this time she finally persuaded him to take her, but now that the person is gone, she is worried that Xie Bai will secretly leave again, so she has no one to lead the way, so she can only return to the royal city in desperation.
All of a sudden, Fu Puyue began to get anxious, and was about to climb under the tree in a hurry. Xie Bai was carrying two dead rabbits in his hands, and as soon as he arrived near the tree where the two of them were sleeping, he saw Fu Puyue holding the tree and sliding down in a twisted posture, probably because he really had no strength, and he stopped there not long after climbing, grabbing the branch with one hand, holding the trunk with the other, and rubbing the trunk with his feet, trying to make his body more stable.
"Poof-" Xie Bai laughed out very unsympathetically, Fu Puyue turned her head when she heard this, and saw Xie Bai straight and straight not far away, looking at herself with a smile on her face, so Fu Puyue was instantly anxious, she knew how awkward her posture was, so she couldn't recognize it and said angrily: "You hurry up and get me down!
Xie Bai finally couldn't help it, and began to laugh, and then flew over while laughing, holding Fu Puyue in his arms and placing it safely on the ground. Looking at the playful smile on his face, Fu Puyue couldn't help but not slap the wooden stick that hadn't burned out last night on his face.
Xie Bai laughed enough, and finally stopped laughing: "Why can't you even climb a tree? If I don't come back in time, won't you fall to the ground?" Fu Puyue gently bumped him with her elbow, and said angrily: "I thought you were going to leave me alone, but I didn't get it done in a hurry." ”
Xie Bai looked at her expression and thought... Just now she was in an awkward tree-climbing posture, so she almost laughed out loud with another "poof", but she managed to hold back. However, Fu Puyue, who was sitting next to him, could still detect this movement, and looking at the smiling expression on his face, he knew what he was thinking, so his calm expression that had finally become angry again.
"Hey, why are you so boring?" This kind of thing only needs to laugh once! Keep laughing because you want to make a fuss?!She angrily pinched Xie Bai's arm: "You hurry up and forget what just happened for me!"
Xie Bai reluctantly held back his laughter, then nodded, and went to clean up the rabbit he had just brought back, Fu Puyue looked at his shoulders that were still shaking, and went to clean up his things with some tears and laughter.
After the two of them finished eating together, they planned to leave the river to find the horses that the two men had tied to the tree yesterday, but when they arrived at the river, the two found that the horses were gone, and the rope tied to the tree was gone, and the two looked at each other, and Qi Qi frowned.
It is impossible for the horse to disappear suddenly, and even if it breaks free from the rope, there will be traces, but in this situation in front of him, it is obvious that someone deliberately untied the horse rope and deliberately let the horse go, but who could it be?
You don't have to think about it at all, it looks like the people of the Eighth Prince did it, since that's the case...... The faces of the two people are even more ugly, and the whereabouts of the two people have been known by the people of the Eighth Prince, so almost all the things that the two of them have done in the past few days The Eighth Prince.
But this is not what should be considered now, the first priority is to find the horses and have the tools to walk. Fortunately, the grass by the river was very fertile, and the two men followed the river and found two horses grazing upstream.
Sure enough, as they guessed, the horse was still tied to the rope, and there was no damage at all, if it was just to let them lose the horse, then just cut the rope, but the people of the Eighth Prince chose such a way, and the two of them frowned in unison, then there was only one possibility, the Eighth Lord just wanted to give them a warning, telling them that they could simply kill the two of them when they were unaware.
"Lower three indiscriminate!" Fu Puyue frowned, obviously thinking of this, and actually warned!
The two of them got on their horses and continued to walk towards the other side of the forest, but in order to prevent the people sent by the Eighth Prince from doing it in private, the two of them made some detours and marked the direction to avoid getting lost, there was a lot of game in the forest, and the two of them were not afraid of being hungry, if they weren't worried about the lack of time, the two of them would have enjoyed the scenery along the way.
Maybe because the two people were more careful on the next road, so they didn't encounter anyone making trouble along the way, and they continued to walk safely and steadily along the way, because the road in the forest was not particularly easy to walk, although the two people didn't have a lot of time to rest, but it still took a month, the more north the forest became, the more barren it became, and even the rain began to rain frequently, because the two people were ready to leave, so although it was a little difficult, they didn't encounter any danger.
In the afternoon, the sky suddenly darkened, accompanied by the whirring wind, the sky was dyed dim yellow, the horses pulled by the two people were a little uneasy, struggling to escape, Xie Bai calmed the horses, Fu Puyue looked up at the sky, and then leaned towards Xie Bai in a little panic, this kind of weather made her have a bad premonition.
"No, I'm afraid there's going to be a rainstorm, and we can't go any further in this weather, so we need to find a cave where we can hide quickly. "It's close to the northern snowfields, and the terrain is strange, with a big mountain, and on the other side of the mountain there is a vast expanse of snow, and on the other side of the mountain is a nearly dry forest.
Because it was still early, the two of them hurriedly found a dark cave, Fu Puyue stood in front of the cave and hesitated, the height of the cave was just right, but the cave was pitch black, and she couldn't forget it at a glance, so she couldn't help but feel furious, and pulled Xie Bai's sleeve who was about to go in with some hesitation: "Let's not go in for the time being, in case there is a beast inside......
Xie Bai was obviously a little hesitant, but he looked back at the dark yellow sky behind him, and then said, "If you want to look for it again, if it rains heavily in a while, we will be in danger." "When it rains, you can't hide from the trees, and when you encounter danger, you have nowhere to escape.
Fu Puyue hesitated a little, and then gritted her teeth: "Then let's go in first, but we have to be careful......" Xie Bai smiled, stretched out his hand and scratched her nose: "That's certain, this is a naturally formed cave, but you see that there is no animal feces around, it should be that no animals have passed here for a long time." It is close to the northern snowfields, and the weather is unpredictable, so there should be no ferocious beasts. ”
After listening to his analysis, Fu Puyue breathed a sigh of relief, led the horse and walked into the cave, the cave was dark, Xie Bai went out in advance to find dead branches before it rained, and reported a large pile next to the cave, and the two of them just came back from picking up the branches, and the wind began to blow in the forest, and the raindrops of beans began to fall.
The wind squeaked the branches, Fu Puyue was curious and wanted to stick her head out to take a look, but she didn't expect the sound of a tree breaking above her head, Xie Bai's face changed, and he quickly stretched out his hand to pull her back, and as soon as his head retracted, a thick branch fell down, Fu Puyue's face turned white with fright, and she quickly took a few steps back and sat obediently next to the fire.
Xie Bai saw that she was so easy to behave, so he smiled and sat next to her, the entrance to the cave had been half covered by branches, the sky outside was dim, and neither of them spoke, only the sound of the wind blowing.
Fu Puyue shrunk her neck and shrunk herself into a ball, whether it was in this life or in her previous life, it was the first time she had encountered this situation, and then looked at Xie Bai next to her, with an indifferent look, did she use a branch to pluck the fire so that the fire burned more vigorously.
"Why are you so calm?" Fu Puyue moved in his direction: "You look at the sky as if it's about to fall." Xie Bai calmly passed a hare to the top of the branch and roasted it: "What are you afraid of?" Later, when we go to the northern snowfield, the weather there is even worse than here, and we can only use snow when we want to rest, and there are few people there, but if we are lucky, we will be treated if we meet the people of the snowfield clan." ”
Xie Bai calmly explained to her, took a slow sip of the kettle - and then got up to get the kettle and put it outside to catch the rain.
Fu Puyue was stunned in place for a long time, and only then couldn't help but think about what the people of the Snow Plains Clan looked like, watching Xie Bai go to fetch the rain to drink, and quickly ran to him, and began to ask East and West: "What do you say the people of the Snow Plains Clan look like?"
Xie Bai had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was busy piling branches at the entrance of the cave in his hands - if the two of them want to rest for a while, they have to cover the entrance of the cave first, otherwise if the two of them have to rest and encounter any fierce beasts, then the two of them will not be able to go back here. People are not afraid, at least there is movement, if it is those fierce beasts that are good at predation, Xie Bai must not let all kinds of things happen to me.
Seeing that he didn't care about himself, Fu Puyue poked the fire with a branch a little depressed, and looked at Xie Bai's busy figure at the entrance of the cave from time to time, muttering that she didn't know what she was talking about, it was really boring, but Xie Bai didn't come to accompany her, so she could only entertain herself for a while, and finally fell asleep against the cave wall because she was too tired.
When Xie Bai came back from receiving the rain, he saw Fu Puyue leaning there and sleeping soundly, chuckled, and picked up Fu Puyue, who was sleeping with her head tilted, and put it in his arms, probably because he was too tired, Xie Bai didn't wake her up when he held her in his arms.
Fu Puyue nestled in his arms, rubbed in his arms and found a comfortable place to continue sleeping. Xie Bai squinted his eyes at the forest outside where it was still raining, if the rain still didn't stop, then the time for the two of them to set off would be postponed again. It's not early, and I'm afraid it will be even colder in the north in winter.
At midnight, Fu Puyue frowned a little uncomfortably, twisted her body again, and continued to sleep, but Xie Bai was very sensitive when she slept in this kind of place, and her little action tossed Xie Bai, Xie Bai squinted, the rain outside the window was still falling, and the fire was about to go out, Xie Bai put Fu Puyue aside, and planned to add some firewood to the fire.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of branches rubbing at the entrance of the cave, because the fire was about to be extinguished, so it was not clear whether it was a human or a beast at the entrance of the cave, Xie Bai suddenly clenched the sword at his waist vigilantly, intending to stab it if there was a slight mistake.
After a while, the branches at the entrance of the cave were removed, and the rain suddenly blew in when the wind came in, completely extinguishing the fire that was about to be extinguished.
"In this wilderness, have you ever regretted it, if it weren't for my lack of ability, you and Fan Fan would probably be resting in the bedroom. Mobile phone access m.
Fu Puyue doesn't like Xie Bai to say this, it seems that he will belittle himself worthless, such a decadent atmosphere Xie Bai should not have, in Fu Puyue's heart, Xie Bai should be the kind of strategist, don't pay attention to anything, and will face it with a calm expression.
So she stood up, found a branch, and plucked the dead branch from the fire that had just risen together with the two people in front of her, and the fire "crackled" and burned even more vigorously. When Xie Bai saw her like this, he knew that she seemed to be angry again, so he walked over cautiously and poked her back: "What's wrong with you?"
Fu Puyue ignored him, Xie Bai poked again unwilling to be lonely, and Fu Puyue said with an unhappy face: "When you started the fire, you said that you were going to hunt game, but I haven't eaten a piece of meat until now!"
So he stood up a little helplessly: "Okay, you just sit here, wait for me to come back, don't run around, if something happens, just climb to the tree, if I come back and don't see you, I will look for you in the tree." Then he took his sword and went to the forest to look for game.
Fu Puyue sat boredly in place, poking at the fire in every kind of boredom, until it was about to be extinguished, and then lazily threw a few dead branches into the fire.
Suddenly, there was a trace of movement in the forest, Fu Puyue looked back vigilantly, and found that there was nothing there, and it could not be his own horse, there was a small lake nearby, and the forage by the lake was very delicious, so the two of them had just tied the horses there, after all, they had to hurry the next day, and they had to let the horses be fed.
Since it can't be a sound made by a horse, what could it be...... Fu Puyue was secretly vigilant in her heart, worried that it was her own delusion, so she listened attentively again, and then heard Fang Cai's "squirming" voice again, Fu Puyue didn't know what it was, so she could only hide for a while, and flew up the tree - although the martial arts are not very good, but there are still some martial arts foundations, and climbing a tree or something can be regarded as a piece of cake.
Just after she had just climbed up the tree, the tall bushes parted, and a gray animal appeared, Fu Puyue's pupils suddenly constricted, this turned out to be a gray wolf?!
She had read in a book that wolves were herd animals, and since there was a wolf here, it meant that there would be wolves around here. Maybe we're heading this way. Fu Puyue grabbed the trunk of the tree next to her fiercely, for fear that she would fall down accidentally. If she fights with street thugs, she can still do it, but if she comes face to face with a fierce beast like this, she will definitely suffer.
Fu Puyue was glad that she had just climbed the tree earlier, otherwise she would not be able to protect herself now.
But the strange thing is that Fu Puyue waited for a long time and didn't wait for the wolves to come, the wolf at the bottom turned around near the fire, and didn't find anything to eat, obviously smelling prey, but he couldn't find it.
At this moment, Xie Bai led the two rabbits back, and saw the old wolf wandering around under the tree, so his muscles tensed for a moment, and he threw the two rabbits that had been stunned by himself on the ground, and slashed at the gray wolf with his sword.
The gray wolf is the wolf king eliminated by the wolves, and has just escaped from the territory of the wolf pack, and has not eaten for a long time, and the long-distance travel has made it feel very tired, and it has no strength to chase live prey. Occasionally bite other animals and eat the leftover carcasses, and they will be quickly driven away.
So when Xie Bai's sword slashed to the top of his head, the gray wolf didn't have the slightest defense, and he didn't resist at all, so he was hacked to death by Xie Bai. After hacking the old wolf to death, Xie Bai took a few breaths, and then tentatively shouted: "Xiaoyue?" "Xie Bai." Hearing the response from the tree, Xie Bai breathed a sigh of relief, flew down and hugged her.
"Are you okay?" Xie Bai asked with some concern, raising his hand and touching her arms and legs as he asked, worrying about where she was injured and not telling herself in order not to worry about herself.
"It's fine. Fu Puyue stopped his restless hand with some amusement: "Hey, okay, it's really nothing, I heard movement when the gray wolf came, and I just climbed the tree, so it's okay." As he spoke, he patted Xie Bai's shoulder comfortingly.
Xie Bai was relieved to see that she was really fine, but still said to her: "If there is anything, you must tell me." Fu Puyue nodded with a smile, and then pretended to be very strong and patted her chest: "Don't worry, I'm very strong!" After speaking, the two of them glanced at each other, and then laughed at the same time.
Fu Puyue was holding two rabbits in her hands that were trembling after she was not easy to wake up, probably because she was scared by Xie Bai, and she didn't dare to run, Fu Puyue was a little crying and laughing, what did Xie Bai do to make these two reviews so scared.
Xie Bai saw that she really liked it, and she didn't plan to roast the rabbit, she skinned the gray wolf next to her and then roasted it on the fire, and when she was free, she looked at Fu Puyue, who was teasing the rabbit next to her, and was silently relieved in her heart, although she was worried about Fanfan, she still didn't want to see Fu Puyue depressed for Fanfan's things, and now she was her own favorite.
After Xie Bai finished the meat, Fu Puyue was a little reluctant to touch the hair on the rabbit's head again, and then put the two rabbits on the grass, the two rabbits first turned around in place a few times, and saw that Xie Bai no longer moved, so he "swished" into the grass.
Fu Puyue walked up to Xie Bai and took a small piece of calf that had been cut from him, this wolf is probably a perennial exercise, so the meat on the leg is very chewy, although there is no condiment, but Fu Puyue feels that it is still very delicious.
After eating, the two of them sat snuggled up for a while, and Xie Bai hugged Fu Puyue: "Let's take a good rest now, maybe in a few days, I won't be able to find such a good place to live." "If the weather is colder by then, it will be very lucky to be able to find a broken temple to live in.
"Uh-huh. Fu Puyue's mouth should be there, she also knew that when she was a ghost, she liked to look around, and the most people were frozen to death when it was cold, and it snowed all year round in the north, if the weather was colder, those two people really didn't know how to get through, let alone Fanfan.
"Then we will hurry up tomorrow?" Fu Puyue knew in her heart, so she said: "If the days go by faster, the sky should be cold." Xie Bai frowned and nodded, the two of them should hurry up. After all, the later this kind of thing drags on, the worse it will be.
When they were about to sleep, the two of them extinguished the torches, and Xie Bai climbed the tree with Fu Puyue in his arms, looking at her with some amusement on her face full of excitement: "The first time you slept on a tree?" Fu Puyue looked left and right, touching the thick trunk from time to time, although she had climbed the tree by herself, but it was the first time to sleep on the tree like tonight, and I didn't know how Xie Bai found this section of the trunk, the thick trunk was crisscrossed, and there was a place that was just enough for two people to lie in together, and even through the layers of leaves, you could see the infinite starry sky overhead.

Hearing him say this, Fu Puyue immediately began to imagine, his face was full of yearning, but soon found that something was wrong, obviously he had never been to the north, how could he know what the stars in the north were? Thinking of this, Fu Puyue couldn't help but look at him suspiciously.
Xie Bai seemed to know what he had missed, put one hand into a fist to his mouth, coughed dryly, and said, "I saw this in a book, that person has been to many places, the north, the south, and even the world outside here." Fu Puyue was successfully diverted by him, imagining the boundless sea that he occasionally saw in the south, imagining what kind of magical world there was beyond there.
Xie Bai hugged her and told her a lot about the outside world, and Fu Puyue seemed to be addicted to it and soon fell asleep. Xie Bai sighed, raised his hand and smoothed out her hair hanging next to her cheek, and then hugged her.
When she waited until the next day, Fu Puyue woke up but didn't find Xie Bai's figure, so she was suddenly a little anxious, Xie Bai had always been reluctant to take her to the north, this time she finally persuaded him to take her, but now that the person is gone, she is worried that Xie Bai will secretly leave again, so she has no one to lead the way, so she can only return to the royal city in desperation.
All of a sudden, Fu Puyue began to get anxious, and was about to climb under the tree in a hurry. Xie Bai was carrying two dead rabbits in his hands, and as soon as he arrived near the tree where the two of them were sleeping, he saw Fu Puyue holding the tree and sliding down in a twisted posture, probably because he really had no strength, and he stopped there not long after climbing, grabbing the branch with one hand, holding the trunk with the other, and rubbing the trunk with his feet, trying to make his body more stable.
"Poof-" Xie Bai laughed out very unsympathetically, Fu Puyue turned her head when she heard this, and saw Xie Bai straight and straight not far away, looking at herself with a smile on her face, so Fu Puyue was instantly anxious, she knew how awkward her posture was, so she couldn't recognize it and said angrily: "You hurry up and get me down!
Xie Bai finally couldn't help it, and began to laugh, and then flew over while laughing, holding Fu Puyue in his arms and placing it safely on the ground. Looking at the playful smile on his face, Fu Puyue couldn't help but not slap the wooden stick that hadn't burned out last night on his face.
Xie Bai laughed enough, and finally stopped laughing: "Why can't you even climb a tree? If I don't come back in time, won't you fall to the ground?" Fu Puyue gently bumped him with her elbow, and said angrily: "I thought you were going to leave me alone, but I didn't get it done in a hurry." ”
Xie Bai looked at her expression and thought... Just now she was in an awkward tree-climbing posture, so she almost laughed out loud with another "poof", but she managed to hold back. However, Fu Puyue, who was sitting next to him, could still detect this movement, and looking at the smiling expression on his face, he knew what he was thinking, so his calm expression that had finally become angry again.
"Hey, why are you so boring?" This kind of thing only needs to laugh once! Keep laughing because you want to make a fuss?!She angrily pinched Xie Bai's arm: "You hurry up and forget what just happened for me!"
Xie Bai reluctantly held back his laughter, then nodded, and went to clean up the rabbit he had just brought back, Fu Puyue looked at his shoulders that were still shaking, and went to clean up his things with some tears and laughter.
After the two of them finished eating together, they planned to leave the river to find the horses that the two men had tied to the tree yesterday, but when they arrived at the river, the two found that the horses were gone, and the rope tied to the tree was gone, and the two looked at each other, and Qi Qi frowned.
It is impossible for the horse to disappear suddenly, and even if it breaks free from the rope, there will be traces, but in this situation in front of him, it is obvious that someone deliberately untied the horse rope and deliberately let the horse go, but who could it be?
You don't have to think about it at all, it looks like the people of the Eighth Prince did it, since that's the case...... The faces of the two people are even more ugly, and the whereabouts of the two people have been known by the people of the Eighth Prince, so almost all the things that the two of them have done in the past few days The Eighth Prince.
But this is not what should be considered now, the first priority is to find the horses and have the tools to walk. Fortunately, the grass by the river was very fertile, and the two men followed the river and found two horses grazing upstream.
Sure enough, as they guessed, the horse was still tied to the rope, and there was no damage at all, if it was just to let them lose the horse, then just cut the rope, but the people of the Eighth Prince chose such a way, and the two of them frowned in unison, then there was only one possibility, the Eighth Lord just wanted to give them a warning, telling them that they could simply kill the two of them when they were unaware.
"Lower three indiscriminate!" Fu Puyue frowned, obviously thinking of this, and actually warned!
The two of them got on their horses and continued to walk towards the other side of the forest, but in order to prevent the people sent by the Eighth Prince from doing it in private, the two of them made some detours and marked the direction to avoid getting lost, there was a lot of game in the forest, and the two of them were not afraid of being hungry, if they weren't worried about the lack of time, the two of them would have enjoyed the scenery along the way.
Maybe because the two people were more careful on the next road, so they didn't encounter anyone making trouble along the way, and they continued to walk safely and steadily along the way, because the road in the forest was not particularly easy to walk, although the two people didn't have a lot of time to rest, but it still took a month, the more north the forest became, the more barren it became, and even the rain began to rain frequently, because the two people were ready to leave, so although it was a little difficult, they didn't encounter any danger.
In the afternoon, the sky suddenly darkened, accompanied by the whirring wind, the sky was dyed dim yellow, the horses pulled by the two people were a little uneasy, struggling to escape, Xie Bai calmed the horses, Fu Puyue looked up at the sky, and then leaned towards Xie Bai in a little panic, this kind of weather made her have a bad premonition.
"No, I'm afraid there's going to be a rainstorm, and we can't go any further in this weather, so we need to find a cave where we can hide quickly. "It's close to the northern snowfields, and the terrain is strange, with a big mountain, and on the other side of the mountain there is a vast expanse of snow, and on the other side of the mountain is a nearly dry forest.
Because it was still early, the two of them hurriedly found a dark cave, Fu Puyue stood in front of the cave and hesitated, the height of the cave was just right, but the cave was pitch black, and she couldn't forget it at a glance, so she couldn't help but feel furious, and pulled Xie Bai's sleeve who was about to go in with some hesitation: "Let's not go in for the time being, in case there is a beast inside......
Xie Bai was obviously a little hesitant, but he looked back at the dark yellow sky behind him, and then said, "If you want to look for it again, if it rains heavily in a while, we will be in danger." "When it rains, you can't hide from the trees, and when you encounter danger, you have nowhere to escape.
Fu Puyue hesitated a little, and then gritted her teeth: "Then let's go in first, but we have to be careful......" Xie Bai smiled, stretched out his hand and scratched her nose: "That's certain, this is a naturally formed cave, but you see that there is no animal feces around, it should be that no animals have passed here for a long time." It is close to the northern snowfields, and the weather is unpredictable, so there should be no ferocious beasts. ”
After listening to his analysis, Fu Puyue breathed a sigh of relief, led the horse and walked into the cave, the cave was dark, Xie Bai went out in advance to find dead branches before it rained, and reported a large pile next to the cave, and the two of them just came back from picking up the branches, and the wind began to blow in the forest, and the raindrops of beans began to fall.
The wind squeaked the branches, Fu Puyue was curious and wanted to stick her head out to take a look, but she didn't expect the sound of a tree breaking above her head, Xie Bai's face changed, and he quickly stretched out his hand to pull her back, and as soon as his head retracted, a thick branch fell down, Fu Puyue's face turned white with fright, and she quickly took a few steps back and sat obediently next to the fire.
Xie Bai saw that she was so easy to behave, so he smiled and sat next to her, the entrance to the cave had been half covered by branches, the sky outside was dim, and neither of them spoke, only the sound of the wind blowing.
Fu Puyue shrunk her neck and shrunk herself into a ball, whether it was in this life or in her previous life, it was the first time she had encountered this situation, and then looked at Xie Bai next to her, with an indifferent look, did she use a branch to pluck the fire so that the fire burned more vigorously.
"Why are you so calm?" Fu Puyue moved in his direction: "You look at the sky as if it's about to fall." Xie Bai calmly passed a hare to the top of the branch and roasted it: "What are you afraid of?" Later, when we go to the northern snowfield, the weather there is even worse than here, and we can only use snow when we want to rest, and there are few people there, but if we are lucky, we will be treated if we meet the people of the snowfield clan." ”
Xie Bai calmly explained to her, took a slow sip of the kettle - and then got up to get the kettle and put it outside to catch the rain.
Fu Puyue was stunned in place for a long time, and only then couldn't help but think about what the people of the Snow Plains Clan looked like, watching Xie Bai go to fetch the rain to drink, and quickly ran to him, and began to ask East and West: "What do you say the people of the Snow Plains Clan look like?"
Xie Bai had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was busy piling branches at the entrance of the cave in his hands - if the two of them want to rest for a while, they have to cover the entrance of the cave first, otherwise if the two of them have to rest and encounter any fierce beasts, then the two of them will not be able to go back here. People are not afraid, at least there is movement, if it is those fierce beasts that are good at predation, Xie Bai must not let all kinds of things happen to me.
Seeing that he didn't care about himself, Fu Puyue poked the fire with a branch a little depressed, and looked at Xie Bai's busy figure at the entrance of the cave from time to time, muttering that she didn't know what she was talking about, it was really boring, but Xie Bai didn't come to accompany her, so she could only entertain herself for a while, and finally fell asleep against the cave wall because she was too tired.
When Xie Bai came back from receiving the rain, he saw Fu Puyue leaning there and sleeping soundly, chuckled, and picked up Fu Puyue, who was sleeping with her head tilted, and put it in his arms, probably because he was too tired, Xie Bai didn't wake her up when he held her in his arms.
Fu Puyue nestled in his arms, rubbed in his arms and found a comfortable place to continue sleeping. Xie Bai squinted his eyes at the forest outside where it was still raining, if the rain still didn't stop, then the time for the two of them to set off would be postponed again. It's not early, and I'm afraid it will be even colder in the north in winter.
At midnight, Fu Puyue frowned a little uncomfortably, twisted her body again, and continued to sleep, but Xie Bai was very sensitive when she slept in this kind of place, and her little action tossed Xie Bai, Xie Bai squinted, the rain outside the window was still falling, and the fire was about to go out, Xie Bai put Fu Puyue aside, and planned to add some firewood to the fire.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of branches rubbing at the entrance of the cave, because the fire was about to be extinguished, so it was not clear whether it was a human or a beast at the entrance of the cave, Xie Bai suddenly clenched the sword at his waist vigilantly, intending to stab it if there was a slight mistake.
After a while, the branches at the entrance of the cave were removed, and the rain suddenly blew in when the wind came in, completely extinguishing the fire that was about to be extinguished.
