Let Jiang Zhuo chop the pile of firewood instead of me, and I watched her quietly from the side.

As the saying goes, beauty is delicious, if it had been put in the past, I would have disdained this statement, but when I faced Jiang Zhuo, I knew that this statement was true-otherwise, just looking at her side face, why wouldn't I feel hungry?

After chopping the last log, she shook her wrist, threw the axe into the clearing, turned her face to look at me, and asked with a little concern in her eyes, "Are you hungry?" ”

In fact, after a while, my stomach was no longer too hungry, but I still nodded, looking at her expectantly, waiting for her to surprise me.

"Come with me." She glanced at me lightly, motioning for me to follow—and in the midst of the blink of my eyes, I seemed to see a smile on her face, shallow, but like a pebble cast on the lake of my heart, rippling and difficult to calm down for a long time.

She led me to a small courtyard, and when she sat down in the courtyard, she ordered the boy who was wiping the table to bring some food; The boy looked at us, didn't ask any more questions, nodded and went into the kitchen, and in a few moments brought a few snacks.

After a simple but warm breakfast, Jiang Zhuo was called away by the person sent by Wei Shu, saying that there were a few herbs that she needed to help pick; Told me to go back to the courtyard after eating the snack, and Jiang Zhuo left with the male disciple who had passed the rumor.

Watching her leave in a hurry, I wiped my mouth and walked around the dining place idly - this was a small separate courtyard, which should be a canteen specially used by everyone in Baiyun Valley to eat, and the huge courtyard was full of tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks, only a few steps away from the kitchen where the smell of food wafted from time to time.

Because it was long past the time for breakfast, I couldn't see the other people in the valley, only the young man who had just brought food for me and Jiang Zhuo; At this moment, I don't know where he ran to.

Looking at the leftover leftovers on the table, I adhered to good habits, cleaned up a little, and brought them into the back kitchen.

There was no cook in the kitchen, probably because he was lazy and resting. A large pot of broth is simmering on the stove, and the aroma is tangy; The processed ingredients are placed on the board, and they are in good order; After eating and drinking, I had a good impression of the kitchen floor, and when I looked up, I thought that even the rust on the handle of the iron spoon looked so lovely.

After pouring out the leftovers, putting the dishes in the sink to be washed, and just as he was about to leave, he heard a slightly rough voice humming an unknown tune - following the prestige, it was a handsome young man who was washing vegetables, who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, probably in the period of voice change, and his voice was not moving, and even a little harsh, but he shook his head when he hummed, and the self-satisfied appearance was very interesting, teaching people to ignore the messy voice, and being infected by his happiness, they could not help but smile.

I listened to him hum for a while, and without disturbing his interest, I walked lightly the way I came.

Walking out of the small courtyard of the canteen, there are two forks in the road, one leads to the dilapidated side courtyard where I lived last night, and the other is Wei Shu's medicine house; I didn't want to face him, lest I have to ask for trouble, but I didn't want to go back to the ruined courtyard where there was nothing alone and spend the whole day doing nothing, so after thinking about it, I decided to continue along the path of the medicine house.

I remember that Jiang Zhuo came to the medicine house to find me after going to the morning exercise, so it can be seen that the place where she practiced in the morning must have passed through the medicine house, why don't I go to explore the terrain and go to see her practice swords tomorrow morning!

Moreover, taking advantage of the situation to learn about the entire manor is also killing two birds with one stone - I haven't looked closely at this place since I woke up.

My intuition tells me that there are many hidden secrets here, and it is far from being as simple as it seems; I also want to find an opportunity to find out where Wei Shu's hostility towards me came from.

I made up my mind and walked slowly down that road, listening with bated breath from time to time, lest I run into the rest of the valley - it would not be good if they interrogated me and sent me back.

Fortunately, along the way, I didn't meet half a figure, which shows that what Wei Shu said is true: the disciples in this valley are all self-reliant and perform their own duties, and people like me who have nothing to do and hang out are really rare.

Shaking my head self-deprecatingly, I looked in the direction of the time, but found that I could no longer see the shadow of the cafeteria, but further on, I couldn't see the outline of the medicine house - obviously I had only walked for a while when I followed Jiang Zhuo before, why did I walk for a long time now, and still couldn't touch the edge of the medicine house?

Thinking about it suspiciously, then relieved - yes, when I came with Jiang Zhuo, my heart was full of her, and I only cared about the joy, how could I care about the time and distance?

It is said that the IQ of people in love has declined, so my current cousin is also like a silly girl who fell in love?

Although, I should only be considered a crush......

After walking for a while, there was no end in sight, as if the road was so long that it could never be finished, as if it was never finished, and no matter how dull and trance--I was, I also found that something was wrong - this is lost?

On both sides were half-man-high trees, densely packed like iron fences, with my fine skin and tender flesh, I didn't think about breaking in, and I couldn't see the end before and after, I couldn't hear the insects and birds, and I couldn't see half of the living creatures passing by, as if I was the only one left in the whole world...... The anomalies that I had been taught to ignore popped up one by one, and I could no longer fool myself and comfort myself that nothing had happened.

At this time, I couldn't help but think of what Wei Shu said, the trap in Baiyun Valley - those guards were folded in that trap, so the situation I am encountering now is the trap he said?

It looks like a square technique that can make people lose their way, similar to a ghost hitting a wall...... Isn't that a bluffing rumor, but a real thing?

If it weren't for the fact that the person who was trapped in the obstacle now was me, and Jiang Zhuo, the only person I could rely on, was not around, I would have really been amazed and studied the principle of this formation with great interest.

Now, all we have to do is think about how to get out.

It's just that I tried for a long time, but I didn't have a clue, but I was tired and sweated.

I was in a hurry like a headless fly when I heard a familiar mocking male voice suddenly break the silence; With the sound of his words, the obstacle that had taught me to panic suddenly opened up, and showed its true appearance—it turned out that I was spinning in front of the medicine house.

I breathed a sigh of relief, but at Wei Shu's playful eyes, I felt a burst of pressure again - after all, I was running around on other people's realms, and I broke into the formation by mistake, and I was caught by him, so I felt a little weak.

"Mr. Wei." I said hello to him, and I forced my composure to look at him.

"His Royal Highness King Ling is so Yaxing, what's the matter, interested in my medicine house? I wonder if you've been walking around the front for so long, but what have you gained? He looked at me with his hands on his hands, and the sneer in his eyes was undisguised.

Teaching him to tease him like this, I only felt that my face was flushed, but I couldn't think of a rebuttal, so I had to change the topic stiffly: "This king is just passing by, and he is going back now." ”

"Go back? Where to go back? Do you want to go back to your room and get some sleep? It is worthy of His Royal Highness King Ling, if this is a change of others, seeing Tian'er lying on the bed, I am afraid that the bones will fall apart. The implication of his words is that I am too lazy and industrious, and my body is not diligent.

I knew that I couldn't get a tongue out of him here, and Jiang Zhuo, who could protect me in action, was not by my side, and it was really unwise to deal with him, so I just thought I couldn't understand his cynicism, and turned around and was about to go back the way I came-I can't afford to provoke him, can't I still hide?

"Slow ......down," but he stopped me in a suppressed voice, and quickly took a diagonal step under his feet and stopped me, "I have some medicinal materials here that need to be sorted out, but the disciples in the valley have work on hand, and they can't spare manpower, I don't know if I can ask Your Highness?" ”

He said politely, and there was an unmistakable cold glint in his eyes - I guess: if I refused, maybe he would throw me back into the obstacle.

After weighing for a moment between "being trapped in the formation and calling the sky and the earth not working" and "listening to his dispatch to sort out the medicinal herbs made me dizzy and dizzy and cramping my limbs", I resolutely chose the latter.

Since he intended to make things difficult for me, let it be as he wants.

I only hope that he can really cure the poison on my body for me, and I will not endure it in vain.

So, it wasn't until I was really tired that I was dizzy and my limbs cramped, he sneered, sent a little disciple to lead me back to the dilapidated courtyard where I lived, and after bringing me a bowl of porridge and a cold white flour steamed bun, he didn't care about me anymore.

After devouring a meal, I collapsed on the bed, as if all the bones in my body were falling apart, and I was so sore that I almost fell asleep on the pillow.

When I woke up, it was already completely dark, and I touched my hungry stomach and sighed silently.

It's so late, hasn't Jiang Zhuo come back yet?

After thinking about it and being a little worried, even though my hands and feet were still sore, I still managed to get out of bed and push the door open.

The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, but it's a pity that the person I want to admire with her is not around...... In the dim moonlight, and without the need for candle lighting, I courageously walked cautiously out of the path, driven by the eagerness in my heart.

After only taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered the obstacle formation he encountered during the day, and his steps couldn't help but retreat a little.

I looked at the faint light in front of me and made a secret decision: try walking for a while, and if I noticed something was wrong, I would go back immediately.

Thinking like this, I mustered up the courage to walk for a while again, and suddenly I saw a faint source of light, and I walked a few steps, and found that it was the cafeteria where I had eaten breakfast during the day—it was just that I didn't see it, but when I suddenly saw this cafeteria, my stomach reflexively "growled".

Unable to resist the temptation of food, I crept into the back kitchen and carefully looked around—it seemed, no one?

There was a faint fragrance wafting from the stove, I tiptoed over, lifted the lid and saw that it was a pot of noodles with clear soup and water, smelling like it was boiled out of old soup, and I don't know if it tasted as delicious as I imagined.

I felt that my mouth began to secrete saliva, and my stomach was screaming more happily, and I was about to find a guy to serve a bowl of food, but I heard an exclamation, so frightened that I almost dropped the lid of the pot in my hand: "Who are you!" ”

When I looked at it, it was the boy I met in the middle of the day, who was humming a little tune; Holding two shallots in his hand and pointing at me, the tips of the shallots trembled, lining the young man's heart: "Where, where did the thief come from!" You—don't come here, or I'll call someone!" ”

Being teased by him like this, I laughed in my heart, and I really couldn't help laughing; Seeing that he was still pale and didn't dare to come over, he laughed so much that his stomach hurt.

Seeing that his tears were rolling in his eyes after being frightened, he stepped back in small steps, for fear that he would call someone in a hurry, so I had to rub my stomach, squeeze out a smile that I thought was gentle and kind, raised my hands to show that I had no weapons and no malice, slowly approached him, and whispered comfortingly: "This little brother, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person......

――I just wanted to ask for something to eat.

Before he finished speaking, he heard a soft female voice shouting and asking with a bit of anger, like a thunderclap: "What are you doing!" ”

I turned my head with the young man, and saw Jiang Zhuo standing in the doorway, looking at us with an unhappy expression, his angry gaze swept back and forth between the two of us, and finally settled on my face-the coldness in that look taught me to be confused, but I subconsciously shivered.
