Chapter 6: Picking Stars
On a high ground near Chengyun Village, Shao Suyi sat with his back against a big tree, rubbing his injured ankle while following Duan Ziyi's figure with a good gaze. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Even with his back to Shao Suyi, Duan Ziyi seemed to be able to sensitively detect the gaze that fell on his back, focused and serious, making his face a little hot. Fortunately, he walked around by observing the terrain, and it was dark, so he didn't have to worry about Shao Suhui seeing the blush on his face.
Because they were afraid of being discovered by the mountain bandits who searched for them everywhere, the two only found a leeward place to rest, and did not dare to light a fire to keep warm. Shao Suhui hadn't eaten since noon, and after being active for so long a day, he had long felt hungry. Sitting here now, the silence all around him made his stomach growl very clearly. Seeing Duan Ziyi turn around when he heard the sound, Shao Suyi's ears turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him again.
Duan Ziyi picked a big stone opposite Shao Suyi and sat down, but there was no leisure to joke about Shao Suyi. Just now, he took a closer look at the situation in Chengyun Village, and there was a strangeness in the tranquility, as if something big was brewing. When they escaped from the stockade just now, those bandits chased after them very vigorously, and they looked like they would not give up, but now they have quieted down, which is really abnormal, and they have to be more vigilant.
Seeing Duan Ziyi looking down and thinking about something, Shao Suyi didn't bother him, and while moving his ankles, he got up and looked at the trees around him. Fortunately, he didn't hurt his muscles and bones when he fell into the trap, and after kneading it a few times, it didn't hurt much, and there was nothing wrong with walking carefully. There is a canopy of trees overhead, and the moonlight is already very thin. Shao Suhui searched for a long time in his pocket before he found a pearl that could be illuminated, and he checked around for a while with the light, and finally found a fruit tree with mountain dates.
Climbing to the tree in three or two, Shao Suyi took his shirt and wrapped two handfuls of dates and a few wild fruits, and picked an unknown small flower, and then happily ran back to Duan Ziyi's side to offer treasure. "Ziyi! Give you fruit. Picking a makeshift place on the not very clean rags and rubbing the wild fruit, Shao Suyi smiled and handed the fruit to Duan Ziyi, "I tasted it when I picked it, it was all ripe, it was quite sweet." ”
Duan Ziyi, who was thinking about how to sneak into Chengyun Village again to hunt for treasure, had just come back to her senses, and looked at the wild fruit held up in front of her, and couldn't help but be stunned again. Although he was abandoned by his parents freely, he was adopted by his master Ning Xilou when he was still an infant, and he has been growing up in the palace of the neutral force known in martial arts. On weekdays, practicing is more indulgent and hard, but it can also be regarded as pampered in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is better than the princely merits, and there are also more than that, how can there be a time to eat this mountain and wild fruit to satisfy hunger. However, looking at Shao Suyi, who had picked the fruit, looked expectant, Duan Ziyi had no choice but to swallow it back if he refused, took the wild fruit and tried to bite it.
"How? Sweet or not? Shao Suyi hurriedly asked, and when he saw Duan Ziyi nodding, he relaxed and sat aside to nibble on the dates. The orphanage where I lived when I was a kid, well, is where we take orphans specially, and there's a hill behind the house. When we were hungry and had nothing to eat, Ah Ran and I secretly ran up the mountain to find something to eat. If you're lucky, you'll be able to pick delicious fruits and pick up some mushrooms and go back to the kitchen to exchange some food. It's not that I'm bragging to you, I can always find sweeter fruits, much better than Ah Ran! ……”
His ears were filled with Shao Suyi's chattering voice, but Duan Ziyi made an exception and did not feel upset, but was a little stunned and sad, that inexplicable closeness to Shao Suyi seemed to be sympathy and resonance. Because Ning Xilou, the master who adopted him, did not care about him or inquire about him, Duan Ziyi had been very lonely since he was a child. It's not without his peers around him, but those teenagers who train with him can't escape the end of fighting each other to survive, and there is no friendship at all. And the two junior brothers who can be close to him, one is the prime minister's most beloved youngest son, the younger brother of the queen of the dynasty, and the other is the only son of the martial arts alliance leader, where can he experience the pain of being fatherless, motherless and parasitic under the fence. Now that he saw Shao Suyi, who had a similar experience to him, and what Shao Suyi had done before did not annoy him, Duan Ziyi naturally had a little more affection for this boy, and the expression on his face became more and more gentle.
Talking about the old things in the orphanage in his previous life, Shao Suyi's thoughts drifted farther and farther away, and he didn't notice the subtle changes in Duan Ziyi. Duan Ziyi looked cold, but Shao Suyi couldn't help but want to get close to him, talk to him, get along with him, and shorten the distance between the two people. Besides, compared to Liuyin, who took him back to the Ice and Snow Shaohua Valley to teach him martial arts, Duan Ziyi was already a gentle enough person. He can handle Liuyin, and in the face of Duan Ziyi, Shao Suyi is even more handy. As long as Duan Ziyi was willing to listen to him and didn't leave impatiently, Shao Suyi was very satisfied.
However, speaking of Liuyin, between Duan Ziyi's eyebrows and eyes, it is really similar to Liuyin. However, if these two people were really allowed to stand together, no one would confuse them. Because compared to the cold and sparse beauty of Zhi Liuyin, Duan Ziyi's purple eyes are a little more innate charm and enchantment, like a seductive and deep mountain spirit, teaching people to be in a trance.
"Ziyi, you haven't told me yet, what are you looking for in Chengyun Village? If we know what it is, it's easy for us to find it in a while. Shao Suxuan said something that he didn't have, and after eating most of the mountain dates, he felt that the Five Organs Temple had stopped a little. In fact, according to his thoughts, he was going to rush to the stockade now, take his things and run, but he didn't know what Duan Ziyi was waiting for.
Slowly wiping the unnecessary dust on his hands, Duan Ziyi looked at the sky, but he didn't see Shao Suyi's anxiety, and said leisurely: "Have you heard of Jiuye picking star rings?" ”
Hearing the five words "Jiuye Picking Star Rings", the somewhat drowsy Shao Suhui was in good spirits. He has traveled to the little baby of this otherworldly continent for nearly nine years, and he basically knows the situation here. In today's rivers and lakes, in addition to the martial arts league known as the righteous and the demon sect despised by the righteous path, as well as the small gangs attached to these two major factions, there is also the only neutral force that has the strength to compete with the two major forces of good and evil, called the Yang Wei Palace. With his subordinate Xingxing Pavilion, which specializes in intelligence, and Jingyaohui, who specializes in commerce, they serve as the secret guards of the royal family of Rongshao Kingdom, supporting the clan for generations and coordinating martial arts.
And the Nine Wild Star Rings are made of clear beads polished from nine different materials of gemstones, including black jade, white jade, jasper, topaz, tourmaline, opal, sapphire, ruby and amethyst, and are connected in series with nine round pearls of general size, which is a token passed down from generation to generation by the master of the Star Pavilion. Shao Suyi can understand it this way, firstly, because his biological father has a great relationship with the Yang Wei Palace and the Rongshao Imperial Family, and secondly, his friend Feng Yinran, who traveled to this world with him in his previous life, is now the ruler of the Xingxing Pavilion. Therefore, Shao Suhui not only knew that Jiuye picked up the star ring, but also saw the magic of this thing with his own eyes.
"Ziyi, what you are going to Chengyun Village to find, could it be Jiuye picking up the star ring?!" Could it be that Ah Ran encountered danger and lost the token? Shao Suyi immediately became anxious, and couldn't help but blurt out.
"If this is really the case, I'm afraid that the Star Pavilion has already been dispatched." Duan Ziyi smiled and shook her head, "What I'm looking for is a scroll that is closely related to Jiuye's Star Ring. ”
