Chapter IV
The efficiency of the two of them picking up branches together was very fast, and after a while, the two of them hugged a large stack back, although Ye Changsheng could only be regarded as a small piece compared to Tianjia's. However, it was the first time he had done something like this, and he felt a sense of accomplishment.
Watching Tianjia gather those dry branches and start a fire, he also squatted next to him and watched without blinking. I don't know how Tianjia got it, so I just took a strange stone and clicked two.
"Young master, you warm up here first, and your subordinates will go to find some food, you have to eat something after a long night." Tianjia will burn the fire vigorously, and then stand up to prepare dinner.
Ye Changsheng also wanted to go along, but he also understood that he was a catty, and it was okay to help pick up some firewood, looking for food or something, and if he went, it would only add to the chaos. So he nodded obediently, hesitated for a while, and then pulled the hem of Tianjia's clothes and whispered, "You, you come back early, it's very dark here......"
At this time, it was already dark, and the sky was gloomy and only a little light could be seen, and there were trees all around, so he must have been a little scared alone.
Tianjia watched the fifth young master squatting on the ground with his head up, staring at himself softly with a pair of big black and white eyes, with a little scared and a little shy expression, and suddenly felt that his heart was hit by something, he coughed lightly, and promised a little uncomfortably: "My subordinates will be half an hour at most...... No, it will only take a quarter of an hour to come back, and it will definitely not be long. After saying that, he turned around and ran, for fear that the little young master would drag the hem of his clothes and say something.
If he understands modern buzzwords, then his reaction is probably "cute".
Seeing that Tianjia disappeared from his sight in three or two clicks, Ye Changsheng reluctantly withdrew his gaze, hugged his knees and sat down by the fire again.
It was already completely dark, except for the little light of the fire beside him, there was almost darkness all around, and he turned his head to see only a hazy black shadow, and when the night wind blew, he didn't know whether it was the leaves or branches colliding with each other to make a rustling sound, and occasionally the cries of some unknown birds.
These movements, which seemed to be insignificant during the day, immediately became terrifying as soon as the deserted night came. Especially Ye Changsheng, a petite young master who has never survived in the wild, is even more hairy and upside down.
He leaned closer to the fire, adding a few branches to the fire as Tianjia had done before, making the fire burn bigger, as if this would make him feel safer. At this time, he fully understood what it meant to live like a year, Tianjia had only left for a short time, but he felt as if a few hours had passed.
Mr. Master once said that there are no ghosts or gods in the world, as long as the human heart is upright, there is nothing to fear.
Ye Changsheng tried his best to say this, but the voices in his ears seemed to be getting stranger and closer......
"I saw a bonfire here on the next pass, can I borrow a fire from the little brother?" A cold voice sounded in his ears, and Ye Changsheng was so frightened that he almost screamed.
However, he still didn't call out in the end, and years of family upbringing taught him to maintain his demeanor at all times.
So although he was scared half to death, Ye Changsheng still looked at the person with a pale face.
The moment he raised his head, the person who borrowed the fire on the other side was startled.
The brocade-clothed young man by the campfire slowly raised his face, his face like a crown of jade and a star, better than all the men and women he had ever seen combined. Even in the unclear darkness of the night, he could clearly get a glimpse of the whole picture of the young man.
There is no exaggeration to describe it with the word stunning.
Unexpectedly, he met such a beautiful young man in such a wilderness, Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but touch his nose, and he couldn't help but start to wonder if he had met the legendary mountain spirit.
Ye Changsheng was also looking at him, this person was very tall and straight, wearing a long shirt that could only be vaguely seen in the moonlight and seemed to be blue, because of the backlight, his face was not very clear. However, he still saw the long shadow of the person dragging on the ground, and if there was a shadow, it meant that the person was a living person, not a ghost.
Thinking that he was not a ghost, Ye Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"You want to borrow fire?"
"Exactly, I just want to borrow a fire, after all, this mountain forest is damp and cold, if there is a fire, it is naturally the best." The person came to explain slowly.
Ye Changsheng was still a little alert, "I have a companion who will be back soon." He remembered that Tianjia had told him that there might be pursuers behind him, and he didn't know when they would chase him, and he didn't dare to let people come casually.
Hearing the other meaning of his words, the man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was on guard.
Chu Liuxiang chuckled, the voice was low and magnetic, even Ye Changsheng couldn't help but feel that his voice was very charming, and it was really nice to laugh.
"It's really just a matter of borrowing a fire, sitting and leaving, and it will never hurt you." Chu Liuxiang whispered, and then in order to prove himself, he waved out his two hands, "You see, I don't have a weapon on me, except for this fan, I don't have anything." ”
Ye Changsheng hesitated.
This man also looks strange and pitiful, this place is so scary, he must be very scared without even a fire.
But what if he's really the bad guy?
Ye Changsheng thought about it, but after all, the kind young master who was ignorant of the world had the upper hand, "Then, you come and sit." ”
Finally got the permission of the master, and Chu Liuxiang walked out of the darkness step by step.
Ye Changsheng could also see the person's appearance clearly.
What a handsome man, with a straight nose and handsome eyebrows, and a good-looking mouth with just the right smile slowly walked over in the moonlight.
I didn't expect this person to be quite good-looking.
Ye Changsheng watched the man walk in front of him and sat down diagonally across from him.
Seeing that this little boy was looking at himself with those particularly good-looking eyes, Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but smile at him, he was always gentle with beauties.
Ye Changsheng retracted his gaze embarrassedly, he knew that it was rude for him to look at others like this, but he didn't expect this boy to have such a good temper, so he didn't get angry.
"In Xia Chu Liuxiang, I don't know what the little boy's name is?" Chu Liuxiang sat down and felt that the two of them were a little bored sitting opposite each other, so she simply opened her mouth and reported to her home.
"Oh...... My surname is Ye. Ye Changsheng nodded calmly, he felt that he had a heart and knew that he couldn't just say his name when he went out, so he only said his surname.
Seeing his calm expression, Chu Liuxiang raised her eyebrows a little unexpectedly. It's not that he is arrogant and arrogant, it's just that no one in the rivers and lakes has not heard Chu Liuxiang's name, whether it is a chivalrous warrior with unique skills or a small vendor selling tons on the street, they will show all kinds of expressions when they hear his name.
But no matter what kind of expression he looks, he will not be as cold and indifferent as the teenager opposite.
Chu Liuxiang touched his chin, if it is excluded that the red sleeves did not investigate the recent ranking of the rivers and lakes, and his reputation has not declined, then this young man must be the kind who almost never goes out.
He refused to say what his name was, so Chu Liuxiang didn't ask any more, but just asked again: "Why did Ye Gongzi come to such a desolate place?" ”
I don't want to come either......
Ye Changsheng lamented in his heart, but said on his lips: "I followed my family and came out to do business." This is the rhetoric that his second brother taught him.
It turned out to be a businessman.
Chu Liuxiang nodded knowingly on the surface, but his eyes slowly skimmed over the young man's ordinary but absolutely expensive silk brocade robe, and he was noncommittal.
A merchant would never be able to raise a person with such a bearing.
And this young man obviously doesn't lie, how can anyone deceive people and have an expression of fear of being exposed. Chu Liuxiang smiled, but he didn't plan to say it, anyway, the two of them met in Pingshui.
The two of them were relatively speechless, Ye Changsheng grabbed a handful of dead branches and wanted to put them in the fire, but was stopped by Chu Liuxiang: "This can't be put so much at once, it will be extinguished." He gently took a few sticks from Ye Changsheng's hand and threw them into the fire, and then said.
Ye Changsheng nodded embarrassedly, honestly retracted his hand and stared at the fire in a daze with his knees hugged.
I don't know when Tianjia will come back, I'm a little hungry.
As soon as he thought this, Tianjia's voice sounded.
"Who are you?"
Then there was the sound of the sword being drawn.
Before Ye Changsheng could say anything, Tianjia had already rushed over with his sword. Chu Liuxiang also didn't expect that someone would suddenly cut without saying a word, but fortunately, he was extremely fast, not only avoiding the sword, but also quickly counterattacking.
Tianjia deserves to be ranked first in the shadow guard, although he can't hurt Chu Liuxiang for a while, he doesn't let him please him. Chu Liuxiang dodged his sword and explained: "There is no malice in Xia, it's just that I just want to borrow fire from here, if Brother Tai is unwilling, I can leave here." ”
Ye Changsheng also hurriedly said at this moment: "That's right, Tianjia, he ...... He's a hurryer, and he didn't hurt me. ”
Tianjia stopped the move in his hand and protected Ye Changsheng behind him, but he still maintained the posture of pointing his sword at Chu Liuxiang: "Even so, it is indeed inconvenient for us to entertain this prince here, so you better leave by yourself." ”
Knowing that she was very unpopular, Chu Liuxiang touched her nose helplessly, "Okay, anyway, I've been warming up for a while, and my body is much better, since Brother Tai doesn't like me to stay here, then I'll leave." ”
"Thank you for your kindness." As soon as he finished speaking, the figure disappeared in front of them.
Tianjia stared at the direction he left for a long time, making sure that the man would not come back, before turning around and retracting the sword from his waist.
