The night in the woods was quiet, and the occasional chirping of birds and insects did not make the atmosphere lively, and the surrounding scene was still so silent.

This is the case in the woods late at night.

Zhao Yu leaned under a big tree, and the previous scene was still hovering in his mind. He didn't know why Shen Mengting shook hands with him, and even said something incomprehensible. However, at least judging from Shen Mengting's admiring smile just now, it was definitely a recognition.

After the two shook hands, Shen Mengting asked Zhao Yu again if he still had any questions. After Zhao Yu shook his head, he saw the woman's stretching movement. She raised her hands high, and her whole body was like a rushing bamboo pole.

It was also at this time that Zhao Yu realized that Shen Mengting didn't seem to be much different from an ordinary woman. I don't know what this person's personal family situation is, whether he is married, whether he has children?

Hungry! That's right! Zhao Yu realized in a trance that he had received so much information just now, but he had only omitted the specific situation of Shen Mengting. But Zhao Yu was about to ask, but Shen Mengting was ready to rest.

"Since there is no problem, then let's rest early!After all, we have to travel tomorrow!" That is, yawning violently, Shen Mengting sat down in front of a relatively thick tree trunk, "Don't put out the bonfire, let it burn all the time." It can deter the beasts in the woods. ”

With a final remonstrance, she leaned her head to the side of the tree. Looks like she's really tired. It's just that even though she has fallen asleep with her eyes closed now, the giant sword is still firmly held in her arms and not thrown aside at will.

Since the other party is going to rest, Zhao Yu won't ask anything more, after all, there will be more days in the future?

So, the two went from talking before to now resting with each other.

In strong contrast to Shen Mengting, Zhao Yu has not cooled down his heart so far. To be honest, just what he learned this night, I guess he will never forget it in his life.

A few days ago, Zhao Yu would not have thought that he would be involved in this kind of incident.

It's too ...... He couldn't even put into a word to describe such a thing. Country, race, aggression, these words used to be so unfamiliar to Zhao Yu, but at this moment he has to face it.

He looked up at the starry sky, hoping that the dark night scene would cool his mind. However, this is clearly in vain. He quickly shook his head violently.

Oops! It's annoying! It's annoying! How could you get involved in this. Zhao Yu hugged his facial features and slammed the back of his head into the trunk.

The information that Shen Mengting said just now was really like a wave that hit Zhao Yu's brain, wave after wave.

First, he learned that there was an empire named Sauron on the side who was going to invade Saran, and then he knew the strength of the Sauron Empire, and now Sauron also sent four elites to hunt down Zhao Yu and them.

To make matters worse, there is also Zhao Yu's extreme isolation. As far as Shen Mengting said, even the officials in their Saran country couldn't believe it, they were all compromisers. Therefore, they had to act secretly until they came to Kiyose Castle, and then the mission was completed.

The big one talks about a huge imperial threat, and the small one says that there are four more masters blocking it. Even, friends along the way are not trustworthy and must be hidden. This task was simply hell-level, and Zhao Yu began to struggle to rub his body on the trunk of the tree. It's annoying!he thought.

'Can we succeed?' Zhao Yu's mouth moved.

'We', Zhao Yu suddenly only felt a pillar of light flash in his mind.

He instinctively used 'we' to annotate himself and Shen Mengting. In other words, he has already regarded himself and Shen Mengting as a whole.

That's a little strange, Zhao Yu and this woman have just known each other for a long time, how can they have the concept of a whole? This is very trusting of each other, so they will be called like this!

Zhao Yu couldn't help but set his eyes on Shen Mengting, who was resting. Shen Mengting seemed to have fallen asleep, leaning motionless on the trunk of the tree.

Zhao Yu's gaze was a little preoccupied, and some strange thoughts were also generated in his mind.

Now, he was alone in the woods with a woman, and there must have been no one around. For a long time, except for his mother, Zhao Yu has never been in contact with other women. But now it's a situation where he's really in a range with a woman.

That's kind of ...... I'm sorry! Zhao Yu scratched the tip of his nose with his hand.

I have heard his good friend Liang Chaowei say that when a woman will be alone with a man at night, it can show that the woman trusts the man very much. That is, if there is this prelude, there will be many shy things afterward.

Having said that, what often happens when a woman is alone with a man? Zhao Yu had heard from a few classmates who had been in love. Anything like hugging and kissing can make his heart 'pound'.

So, with this woman named Shen Mengting, will this kind of thing happen?

Zhao Yu's gaze wandered around Shen Mengting. Although this girl is a little old and very fierce, her image is actually quite good. The face was also slightly marked, better than many of the women he had seen before. Somehow, Zhao Yu actually swallowed his saliva unconsciously.

But at this moment, Zhao Yu seemed to realize something. He quickly shook his head violently, and quickly put his hands on his face.

'No, no. How can I be so filthy! I'm a very upright and pure person! My mother told me before that a man must be upright. How can you casually think about a woman? No, no'.

Zhao Yu's strength to touch his cheek increased. Not only cling, but also the strength to knead the meat on it. Shouting the word 'no' to his heart, he almost crumpled his cheeks into mud.

"Hey, you kid doesn't rest at night, what are you messing around there?"

Just when he was extremely at a loss, Shen Mengting's penetrating words suddenly came to him.

This frightened Zhao Yu and clinged to the trunk of the tree behind him. After his breathing was a little easier, he found that Shen Mengting had opened his eyes.

Although the action of leaning on the trunk of the tree did not change, Shen Mengting's eyes were firmly fixed on Zhao Yu's side.

"Can't sleep, or are you bored and have nothing to do?"

Zhao Yu scratched his head embarrassedly. There was only a stream of heat at the door of his head, causing his cheeks to burn.

"I'm telling you, don't rest well now, and wait until tomorrow when you're drowsy and don't have the energy to go. I'm not going to bother you then, do you hear me!

Zhao Yu shrunk his neck, he no longer turned his face to Shen Mengting's side, but hid behind the trunk.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"

Zhao Yu nodded cowardly.

"Really, I don't even know what's going on in your head?" Shen Mengting twisted her body angrily, she changed her lying position and fell asleep again.

Zhao Yu noticed that there was no movement around him, so he dared to look at the woman. She seemed to be asleep again, and though she was not yet able to make out her face, it was evident from the two sunken wooden frames that her eyes were now closed.

So, Zhao Yu pressed his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really unlucky, how could you think about that kind of thing, Zhao Yu kept blaming himself.

It's better to stop thinking nonsense, hurry up and go to bed! After all, we still need to hurry tomorrow! Zhao Yu had to relax and lean on the trunk of the tree.

He tried to sleep with his eyes closed. However, no matter how relaxed he was, he didn't feel a trace of sleepiness. It's no wonder that with so much going on, he couldn't have calmed down so quickly.

Zhao Yu had no choice but to open his eyes. The surroundings were still so quiet, and even the bonfire in front of me was no longer burning so brightly.

Alas! Zhao Yu licked his lips and looked up at the sky.

If that hadn't happened, he thought that he should still be lying on his own bed! Mom was still alive and would prepare a meal for Zhao Yu the next day. And after that, he will come to the proving ground as always, and then chat and play with his friends!

But now, everything has changed. To say that the source of this upheaval is still in that suburban trial. The things that followed were just a bond that came from falling off a cliff.

If Zhao Yu hadn't been naughty that day and listened to his mother's words and could be careful, he wouldn't have fallen off the cliff. If you don't fall off the cliff, you won't be swept away by the river, you won't meet the old man named Yang Jiening, you won't accept his instructions to take the documents, you won't be hunted down by the people of the Sauron Empire, your mother won't die, and you won't escape miserably to this wood, eating and sleeping in the open.

Alas, everything must have changed since that fall off the cliff. If he hadn't had that accident, he would still be an ordinary young man in Vortex Town!

Such helpless memories were revealed, and Zhao Yu felt a sense of exhaustion. He closed his eyes and stopped thinking about it.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Shen Mengting's eyes were closed for a long time, but because she couldn't sleep, she was fortunate to open her eyes and remember what was on her mind. In fact, her heart was also extremely turbulent, but in order to show a calm appearance in front of Zhao Yu, she pretended to be asleep.

When there was no more movement on Zhao Yu's side, Shen Mengting realized that she didn't have to continue pretending. She leaned over in a moment. In this way, because of the relationship with her back to Zhao Yu, she would not let the boy see his face clearly no matter what.

Shen Mengting pursed her lips and sighed. The death of Uncle Yang Jiening instantly increased the burden on her shoulders. Saran's only person who can wrestle with Sauron's master is gone, and Shen Mengting doesn't know where the future of their country is?

Although she also understands that no matter how sad or regretful she is, Uncle Yang Jining will not come back from the dead. However, Shen Mengting still covered her chest, feeling mournful.

Suddenly, there seemed to be movement behind him.

Shen Mengting, who has always been alert, turned her head in an instant. There was nothing unusual around, there was still only Zhao Yu and herself.

So......

Shen Mengting soon realized that the movement was made by Zhao Yu, and the man was lying on his side in front of a tree trunk with his back to her. I saw that Zhao Yu's body was twitching and making a strange sound.

What's wrong?Shen Mengting straightened her upper body, and she tilted her head to stare at Zhao Yu.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" asked triedly, but Zhao Yu didn't respond. Shen Mengting rolled her eyes and raised the volume of the inquiry, "Hey, I said what's wrong with you?"

Shen Mengting was a little irritable. She couldn't figure out what was going on with this man, and she was making a strange noise for a while, and now she was making a strange noise.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, you say?"

Zhao Yu still didn't react, but the twitching of his body stopped.

Shen Mengting was a little uneasy, so she stood up. Staggered towards Zhao Yu, her face was only full of boredom.

Really, how old is the child? Shen Mengting breathed deeply.

"Hey, I'll tell you! We're in a very, very dangerous situation right now, and if we don't get some rest and refresh ourselves, we'll probably be killed by the enemy. So, you give me a little bit of a break, and don't look for trouble......"

Shen Mengting was about to say something, but suddenly closed her mouth. Because Zhao Yu's current appearance was a little strange again, his body began to tremble again. Also, there were some 'whine' sounds coming from his back.

"Zhao Yu, are you okay?"

Shen Mengting quickly approached Zhao Yu. However, facing the boy's back, she felt at a loss for what to do.

"Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu!"

shouted anxiously one after another, until Zhao Yu's vision became more and more obvious. At this time, Shen Mengting couldn't let go at all. She quickly pressed Zhao Yu's shoulder and pulled his face in front of her.

Zhao Yu's face was obviously wet, and even in the dim environment, he could feel two lines of tears flowing under his eyes.

"Zhao Yu!" called out the name gently, and Shen Mengting stared at it for a while.

Zhao Yu was secretly crying, which caused his body to twitch weirdly.

"Zhao Yu!"

"I ...... I...... I ......"

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"My mother ......" As soon as he finished saying this, he burst into tears as if he couldn't hold back his sadness, "She...... She really had to go. She's gone, and I can't see her again. ”

"Zhao Yu!" Shen Mengting's heart also rose.

"That's the real thing, not the fake. My mom really has to go. I've always wished I could ...... It can be fake, it's just a dream. But no matter how I closed my eyes, when I opened them, I realized that it was reality. My mom really has to go...... Whining...... Woohoo......"

"Zhao Yu!" Shen Mengting increased the force on Zhao Yu's shoulder, "Don't think about these things anymore!"

"How could I not want to. My mom is gone, and she's been killed. She's gone from me forever, you know?"

"Zhao Yu, it's useless for you to think about this now, this can't change reality. ”

"I know that. But I just feel guilty. I...... I'm not a good son. Zhao Yu lowered his head, and he cried even more miserably, "I'm really a useless person." When my mother was around, I was ignorant and always made her angry. I'm not going to do anything, and it must have made her very worried. Even...... Even...... I couldn't even pass the beginner swordsman exam. Really, I've been worrying her...... I'm a no-brainer. ”

"Zhao Yu!"

"If only I had been sensible sooner. She had been telling me to test the swordsman in the first place, but ...... But...... I've been lazy and perfunctory with her. Woo...... If I had been given another chance, I would have told her that I would try. But now that she's gone, there's no more chance. ”

Shen Mengting looked at the crying man sadly, and she didn't know what to say.

"Woooooooooo......oo I'm left with one now. I...... I do not know...... I'm really ...... I'm wondering if I'm going to die too. ”

When Shen Mengting heard this, she was immediately angry. "Hey, what are you talking nonsense?" she immediately scolded, "If your mother hears you like that, she will probably be mad." How can you say such irresponsible words?"

"Let's be angry! Just let her be angry! Anyway, she's gone. ”

"Zhao Yu!"

"Don't you bother me about anything? That's my mother, she was killed half a day ago. Can you understand how I'm feeling now?" Zhao Yu suddenly roared. He still wiped his eyes with the back of his hand.

Shen Mengting was stunned, she stared at Zhao Yu but didn't know what to say. Zhao Yu was still crying, and that cry was even more desolate in the wilderness woods.

After a long time, Shen Mengting decided to say: "Well, your mother is gone, but you are not alone now." You have to know, you still have me! From now on, I will take care of you!" With that, she directly hugged Zhao Yu hard.

Zhao Yu's crying did not stop, but there was a tendency to worsen. Now, he has completely vented all the emotions that have accumulated before.

Let's just cry a good time! It's better to cry than to hold back the illness in your heart! Shen Mengting moved her mouth.

Zhao Yu's hand also moved, and he followed and hugged Shen Mengting tightly. The two hugged each other for a long time.

Shen Mengting could feel that Zhao Yu's chin was pressed on one of her shoulders, and tears were falling from time to time. But she didn't want to stop anything, and she even reached out to stroke the child's head.

"In just half a day, you must have suffered a lot of blows! Since you are crying, you have to vent it!" Shen Mengting hugged Zhao Yu on her chest.

"Woo...... Mom, goodbye......" Zhao Yu said indistinctly.

As a result, neither of them had a good rest that night, nor did they sleep.

About the time dawn, Shen Mengting still felt a little dizzy. But she didn't want to blame Zhao Yu for anything, she could understand the other party's feelings.

Zhao Yu also looked sluggish, his eyes were deeply sunken, full of low haggardness.

Maybe it's just dawn, and the whole forest is covered with mist.

Shen Mengting was anxiously packing her bags, she checked the package on 'Nasa''s body, and after confirming that it was correct, she decided to leave.

"Hey, get ready to go!" she nodded at Zhao Yu, who was still sitting on the ground.

Zhao Yu immediately glanced at Shen Mengting before slowly standing up. He lowered his head and approached Shen Mengting, and it wasn't until he walked in front of her that he said uneasily:

"That...... About last night......"

"Alright, don't say any more pointless things. We're leaving. Shen Mengting turned around and said.

Zhao Yu shrunk his neck, and the word 'oh' was vaguely revealed.

"Get on the horse!" Shen Mengting urged cleanly.

Zhao Yu walked to Nasa's side and pressed his hands on the back of the white horse.

Shen Mengting knew that he couldn't get on the horse on his own, so after shaking his head, he went up directly and exerted his strength. She pushed Zhao Yu down with one hand and helped him jump onto the horse.

After looking around to make sure that nothing had fallen, Shen Mengting also stepped on the horse.

"Nasa, let's go!" grabbed the horse's reins with both hands, and Shen Mengting shouted.

So the white horse trotted through the trees until he came to the road outside.

The road meant that there was nothing to bind it to, so the white horse picked up speed and galloped wildly in the direction of the north.
