When she walked out from behind the big rock, Tang Xi tripped and fell to the ground due to the messy grass that was mixed together, and she put her hands on the ground, and her knees hit the gravel hard.

Tang Xi groaned in a low voice, almost speechless in pain. She sat down on the ground, and when she looked up, she saw that a large chunk of her white underwear was soaked red.

Tang Xi frowned, forced the pain to lift his pants, a large piece of skin was scratched on his knee, and even pink flesh could be faintly seen.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Hanbei turned around and saw Tang Xi sitting on the ground, his white legs were a dazzling red. At that moment, his heart seemed to shrink and hurt a little.

Walking forward quickly, Xiao Hanbei half-squatted down and took out a small white porcelain bottle from his waist, "Hurt by a fall?" Why are you so careless, this is the best gold sore medicine, do you apply it yourself or will I help you? With that, Xiao Hanbei pulled off the cork and handed the bottle a little towards Tang Xi.

Tang Xi shook his head and tilted his head to the side, "You can help me." ”

Xiao Hanbei didn't say much, and directly tilted the bottle and sprinkled the medicinal powder on Tang Xi's knees.

Tang Xi took a deep breath and almost screamed, it hurt, it hurt even more than when he just fell. This time it's really a big sacrifice, and I hope I won't be suspicious of my identity. Visually, Xiao Hanbei's force value is not low, if he wants to arrest himself at that time, he will definitely not be able to escape, I hope he will not lift a stone to hit himself in the foot

Xiao Hanbei stood up and tore off a piece of cloth from the hem of his clothes, squatted down and bandaged Tang Xi's legs, "Can you stand up and walk by yourself?" ”

Tang Xi stood up tentatively with his hands on the ground, and almost fell on the previous gravel again, but fortunately, Xiao Hanbei helped her in time. However, it didn't take too long to grab her hand.

Tang Xi raised his eyes to look at Xiao Hanbei, and wanted to withdraw his hand with some confusion. The next moment, the body was already suspended in the air and was carried into a warm embrace. Tang Xi grabbed Xiao Hanbei's shirt with a low scream, "What are you doing?" ”

Xiao Hanbei didn't answer Tang Xi's words, just carried her around the woods and walked to the place where the camp was stationed, ignoring the surprised eyes of the other soldiers, and carried her into the largest camp tent, put her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt. "You rest here for a while, I'll come and ask you about the ban later."

Almost at the same moment, Tang Xi felt that her legs had turned into fishtails in the quilt, she looked up and smiled at Xiao Hanbei, her hand tightly grasping the corner of the quilt.

Xiao Hanbei didn't think much about it, and left after speaking.

Tang Xi looked at the tent boringly, although the area was very large, but in addition to this bed, there was only a table and chairs, and there were a few scattered pieces of paper on the table. Tang Xi raised his eyebrows, aren't you afraid that she is here to steal secrets?

The sound of broken footsteps came, and Tang Xi swung his tail with difficulty, burying the whole person in the quilt, leaving only his head outside.

Xiao Hanbei walked in with a bowl of clear porridge, and when he saw Tang Xi lying on the bed obediently, he felt a warmth surging in his heart, and he felt a very inexplicable feeling, which made him a little confused. "Drink some porridge, it will make you more comfortable."

Tang Xi didn't want to get up, and she hurt her leg, why was she comfortable after drinking porridge? But Xiao Hanbei looked serious. She folded her hands on the edge of the bed and barely sat up.

After taking the porridge from Xiao Hanbei's hand, Tang Xi found that the porridge was still hot. She looked at Xiao Hanbei with some doubts, not understanding how she could cook a bowl of porridge in just a few minutes.

Uh, it was probably cooked by the soldiers outside, it couldn't be the small stove that Xiao Hanbei specially opened for her.

Seeming to understand Tang Xi's thoughts, Xiao Hanbei sat on the edge of the bed and explained, "They cooked it, this is tonight's dinner." ”

Tang Xi almost choked on the porridge in her mouth, she swallowed it with difficulty, put the spoon into the porridge, and handed the bowl towards Xiao Hanbei, "Then you eat, in fact, I'm not hungry." ”

Xiao Hanbei put his hand on the edge of the bowl and frowned, "No need." ”

Tang Xi blinked, and after staring at Xiao Hanbei for a few seconds, she felt that she might understand this man's thoughts. Probably, it's cleanliness?

cough cough, and in this era, the difference between men and women seems to be very strict, she honestly took back the bowl and drank it in a few sips.

Xiao Hanbei took the empty bowl and didn't say anything, just stood up and walked out.

Tang Xi twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking to himself that he wouldn't be back in a few minutes. This tent should be his, do we want to sleep together tonight? Tang Xi sighed helplessly, sure enough, the decision was wrong?

This time, Xiao Hanbei didn't come back as soon as she thought, but didn't come in again all night.

Tang Xi reluctantly lay on the bed and fell asleep, and it was the next day when he woke up. She lifted the quilt and looked at the wound on the fish's tail, and was surprised to find that it was almost healed, but the scales had not yet grown, so it looked a little ugly.

At this moment, the curtain in front of the tent was lifted, and Tang Xi put down the quilt in a panic.

A trace of white light flashed, Xiao Hanbei raised his eyes to look at Tang Xi, and asked with a little doubt in his eyes, "What was that just now?" ”

Eyes so good? Tang Xi was speechless, he really shouldn't have owed it, "Mirror, my hair is a little messy, so"

Xiao Hanbei nodded, with a look of half-belief in his eyes, "What is the ban you said before?" ”

"That's the legend left by the ancestors of our family, it is said that the cave on the cliff is the place where the mermaid race buries its treasures, and if you want to enter, you must be recognized by the mermaid race." Tang Xi thought about it, his face did not change, and his heart began to lie without a beat.

Xiao Hanbei raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Mermaid race? ”

Tang Xi: "Well, but now that the relationship between the merfolk race and humans has deteriorated, it is estimated that the merfolk race will not agree to humans entering the cave." ”

Xiao Hanbei looked at Tang Xi's legs through the quilt with interest, "Then you mean, I have to catch a mermaid before I can enter?" ”

Tang Xi rolled his eyes secretly, is it true that the brain circuits of modern people and ancient people are different? "That's coercion, it's not a mermaid who is willing to do it, okay, it will be punished."

"So? Didn't you say you had a way? Could it be that you're lying to me? Xiao Hanbei narrowed his eyes and looked at Tang Xi with a stern face. It seems that if Tang Xi's answer makes him dissatisfied with the next moment, he will directly pinch Tang Xi's neck.

Tang Xi was frightened by him and hurriedly waved his hand, "Of course not, how dare I lie to you, of course I have a way, but it's inconvenient to sue you." ”

Xiao Hanbei: "Oh? ”

"This is our family's secret, you are not a member of our family, you are not qualified to know." Tang Xi felt that the wording of this sentence was a little wrong, and he didn't know if he would be killed by Xiao Hanbei if he was so arrogant

Unexpectedly, Xiao Hanbei slowed down his expression, "Since that's the case, then if I marry you, can you sue me?" ”

It was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Tang Xi felt like he was going to be scorched, what the hell? There's something wrong with her ears, right? Tang Xi tilted his head and scratched his ears, and asked with some hesitation, "What did you just say?" ”

"I said I'd marry you." Xiao Hanbei said word by word, his tone was very serious.

"But I'm sorry that I already have a husband." Tang Xi replied with twitching eyes.

The light in Xiao Hanbei's eyes dimmed, he raised his eyes to look at Tang Xi, and when he saw that Tang Xi didn't pull his hair up, he couldn't help frowning, "You're lying to me." ”

Tang Xi's eyes widened, and she was a little strange about Xiao Hanbei's categorical tone, but she still replied deadly: "No, believe it or not." ”

Xiao Hanbei glanced at Tang Xi, didn't speak, and walked straight towards the only table in the tent. He sat down in his chair, sorted out the scattered paper and put it in the upper left corner, then took out a blank piece of paper and didn't know what he was drawing.

The tent suddenly became quiet, and Tang Xi scratched his head a little uncomfortably. Has she become the terminator of the topic? But she didn't seem to say anything wrong, who knew that Xiao Hanbei would suddenly propose to marry her.

Of course, she knew that Xiao Hanbei couldn't fall in love with her in a short period of time, so she must have proposed this for the sake of the things in the cave. It's annoying to talk about this, when the time comes, she will be a fish, will she be able to win so many people?

Tang Xi let out a depressed cry, lying on his back on the bed and staring at the top of the tent. Just when she was irritable, her stomach gurgled and growled.

Tang Xi's face turned red instantly, she reached out to cover her stomach, and looked at Xiao Hanbei a little uncomfortably. But Xiao Hanbei didn't look at her as if he hadn't heard anything.

Tang Xi was speechless, the person who had just said that he wanted to marry her now ignored her life and death. She only drank a bowl of porridge last night, and it is natural that she is hungry now, but Xiao Hanbei doesn't seem to have any intention of giving her breakfast.

Tang Xi waited for a while, and finally couldn't help but say to Xiao Hanbei: "I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?" ”

"Nope." Xiao Hanbei said without raising his head.

Tang Xi is going crazy, this man is so stingy! She closed her eyes and exhaled a forceful breath of turbidity. She's not hungry, not hungry at all!

Just as Tang Xi was about to fall asleep, the smell of beef wafted into her nose. Tang Xi wrinkled his nose and sniffed, and swallowed quickly.

She opened her eyes, sat up, and followed the fragrance to look over, only to see Xiao Hanbei holding the beef slices and putting them in his mouth with a serious face. Tang Xi licked his lips, his gaze moving with the position of the beef slices.

Xiao Hanbei seemed to have just discovered Tang Xi's burning gaze, he hooked his lips, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you want to eat?" ”

Tang Xi nodded quickly, she could still lie to herself if she hadn't eaten before, but now the food is in front of her!

Just when Tang Xi thought that Xiao Hanbei was going to bring her beef rice, Xiao Hanbei spoke again, "I didn't do your part." ”

If she had a pair of legs now, she would definitely have to go over and give Xiao Hanbei a hundred and eighty knives, how could this man be like this!

Xiao Hanbei saw Tang Xi's cheeks puffing out angrily, and he laughed happily. He stroked the corners of his lips and looked away, how long had it been since he had been so happy?

Ever since his father thought he had a disobedient heart and sent him to guard the border, he never seemed to smile heartily. If it weren't for his father wanting to find the elixir, how would he think of him, I'm afraid that he is still guarding the border.

Tang Xi saw that Xiao Hanbei was absent-minded, and didn't know what he was thinking, so he jumped to the ground holding the quilt, she jumped in front of Xiao Hanbei's eyes, and quickly stretched out her hand towards the beef rice

Just as she was about to touch the bowl, she was hit her hand. Tang Xi retracted his beaten red hand and glared at Xiao Hanbei depressedly, "Stingy!" She turned and continued to stumble towards the bed, not seeing the meaningful look behind her.

The corners of his lips curled slightly, Xiao Hanbei stood up, lifted the curtain and walked over. After half a cup of tea, he walked in again with a steaming bowl of beef rice.

Tang Xi was asleep in his back angrily at this time, and he didn't see this scene. But the aroma of the beef became stronger and stronger, and she couldn't help but swallow a few more mouthfuls of saliva.

Until the afterglow swept to the porcelain bowl with white flowers on a blue background, Tang Xi sat up violently.

Fortunately, Xiao Hanbei reacted quickly and put the bowl back in time, otherwise he was afraid that the rice would have to fall to the bed. "Want to eat?"

Tang Xi didn't miss the teasing in Xiao Hanbei's eyes, she said angrily: "I don't want to eat!" ”

"Oh? So I'm going to pour it out? Xiao Hanbei was about to leave, and the next moment, the hem of his clothes was grabbed by Tang Xi.

Tang Xi looked at him pitifully with pitiful eyes, "Big brother, please, how can I give me food!" You still need my help to get into the cave, you don't want to see me starve to death right now, do you? ”

Xiao Hanbei raised his hand and stretched out his hand towards Tang Xi, stopping only an inch away from Tang Xi's face, he suddenly remembered that she said that she had a husband.

What kind of person can marry her?

Tang Xi snatched the beef rice when Xiao Hanbei was stunned, and she gulped the rice, for fear that it would be snatched away later.

Xiao Hanbei looked at her helplessly, shook his head and returned to the table after a long time.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Hanbei announced that he would go up the cliff after resting. As for Tang Xi, her legs were inconvenient, so Xiao Hanbei carried her on her back.

When the other soldiers heard the news, they all began to oppose Xiao Hanbei's suggestion, after all, this is not a joke, such a high cliff, how convenient is it to carry a person?

Moreover, what can Don Creek do? Why go up with a woman with limited mobility?

"She can help us unlock the restrictions outside the cave, and none of us can get in without her." Xiao Hanbei tied Tang Xi, who was covering the quilt, to his back and said expressionlessly.

The soldiers were in a mess, and they naturally knew the fate of those who came here before, but the emperor's order could not be violated. "General, does she really have that ability?"

Xiao Hanbei didn't speak, just coldly glanced at the soldier who had just spoken.

The soldier was shaken by his gaze, and did not dare to refute it anymore.

Xiao Hanbei walked in the front with Tang Xi on his back, although he had light skills, but he was not so easy to do after carrying people. As he tugged at the bulge, he crawled towards it little by little.

Tang Xi leaned on his back, only feeling warm in her heart, so close, she could smell the faint scent of soaphorn on his body, it was obviously a very unfamiliar smell, but it made her feel a little familiar.

She lowered her head and leaned close to Xiao Hanbei's ear, wanting to see if there was a mole behind his ear.

The warm breath sprayed on the back of his neck, Xiao Hanbei trembled, and almost slipped and fell down. He clenched the stone under his hand so hard that the palm of his hand was scratched by the broken lines on the stone, and the blood stained the stone red.

Tang Xi frowned, there is no mole, isn't it a lover? Also, if it was a lover, she should have recognized it at first sight, and it couldn't have taken so long to find out, maybe it was just someone who had something in common.

Tang Xi raised his eyes and looked up, but was stabbed in the bright red that greeted his eyes. She clenched her fists and took a deep breath. It's not a lover, this person just wants to take advantage of her, there's nothing to worry about.

When he was still more than ten meters away from the cave, Tang Xi noticed that Xiao Hanbei's scratched hand was trembling slightly. She closed her eyes and forced herself not to look. But it didn't work, and that scene kept coming out in front of me

Tang Xi bit his lip tightly, trying not to put all his weight on Xiao Hanbei.

Xiao Hanbei seemed to realize something, he tilted his head slightly, and chuckled, "Don't worry, I can take you to climb up." ”

Tang Xi replied lightly, and his gaze swept over Xiao Hanbei's injured hand. "Have you ever forgotten anyone?"

"Huh?" Xiao Hanbei asked a little puzzled, he wanted to turn his back to look at Tang Xi, but the weight of his whole body was on the stone in front of him, and he couldn't do it at all.

"Nothing, I'll just ask." Tang Xi sighed in disappointment, and when she got the Gathering Spirit Refining Pill, she went to find her lover.

Xiao Hanbei was a little concerned about Tang Xi's tone, but in this situation, it was not easy to speak. He climbed up with all his might, forgetting the burning pain in his hands.

Half an hour later, Xiao Hanbei and Tang Xi crawled to the vicinity of the cave. "Open the ban, mermaid girl."

Tang Xi paused, and the hand that pulled out the fish scales stopped for a moment, but she didn't speak, just gritted her teeth and continued to pull out a piece of the fish scales on the fish tail.

She raised her hand and held the scales towards the mouth of the cave, and there seemed to be a fluctuation in the air, and then the whole mountain began to shake.

Just when Xiao Hanbei thought that there would be stones falling like last time, he regained his calm. He reached out and grabbed Tang Xi's hand holding the scales, and the blood in his palm fused with the blood on her fingers. "That's how it works?"

Tang Xi pulled his hand back a little uncomfortably, "Hurry up and climb up, otherwise it won't be fun to fall now." ”

Xiao Hanbei put the scales in his palm into his clothes before continuing to climb up. When they entered the cave and looked over, they found that the soldiers following below had all fallen into the river because of the shaking just now.

Fortunately, there is a river below, otherwise if you fall so high, you will definitely die.
