Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Lonely Man and the Widowed Man
Ling Hanluo and Xiu Chenyan each rode forward, Ling Hanluo did not often ride a horse, his horse skills were average, but his riding speed was not slow. {
Xiuchen is an unruly person, with a free and easy temperament, and he doesn't care about martial arts, money, and reputation, and he is a prodigal son who is bent on pursuing freedom. Now he hasn't traveled all over the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't have the slightest fame in the rivers and lakes, but he has been stumped, Shengdu is not a martial arts holy land, it is the power center of a dynasty, full of conspiracy and calculation, how many dry bones are buried behind that prosperity?
He thought that this was probably the beginning of becoming a hero, and if he couldn't protect one person, how could he protect the world.
Although Ling Hanluo didn't talk about it on his face, he also knew that Xiu Chenyan would definitely be implicated by him if he followed him so persistently, and he should change his attitude towards Xiu Chen, but he didn't know how to talk to him for a while, but he seemed to be even more indifferent to him.
Xiu Chenyan would probably jump for joy if he knew Ling Hanluo's thoughts, but he always thought that he had made Ling Hanluo angry again.
While he was still struggling with the question of how to keep Ling Hanluo from getting angry, they had been blocked by the falling rocks pouring down in front of them. This is in a canyon, a vantage point for the army, a desperate place from which they cannot break free. At this time, the stone is only being mined, and no one is doing it on purpose. The road ahead had already been closed, but Ling Hanluo and Xiu Chenyan didn't see the signs, and no one stopped them from moving forward.
Coincidentally, a powder bomb had just been activated, and if the two of them hadn't dodged in time, they would inevitably have been smashed, but at that time, it was Ling Han who was walking in front.
It may be that he was a little nervous at the moment of crisis, and he felt a suffocating pain in his chest.
"It's cold, but it's uncomfortable again?" It was only a moment, and the pain was followed by nothing unusual.
"It's fine."
The official on the mountain was startled when he saw a pedestrian entering, and it was not a trivial matter to hurt people's lives.
"Are the two sons injured?" The man who shouted at them was past the age of his sixtieth birthday, with a long beard and gray hair.
"Dare you ask what you're doing here?" Xiu Chenyan looked up at the old man.
"Jade is being mined here, and the government has ordered the road to be closed, so the two sons should take a detour. Didn't the two sons see the notice from the government? ”
"We've come from afar, and we haven't seen any of the signs. Thanks for the reminder, we're leaving. ”
Xiu Chenyan respectfully clasped his fists and saluted the old man.
Legend has it that there is a grandmother's blood jade in this mountain, and the royal government issued an edict to harvest the grandmother's blood jade before it snows in winter, and the time is pressing. Officials hurriedly began to start mining, and some places may not have received notices of road closures. The old man watched the two of them ride away, only then did he shake his head and sigh, and hurriedly started another blast.
If Ling Hanluo and Xiu Chenyan wanted to make a detour, they had to turn back, which might delay them for a day. The place to go ahead is Meizhou, if you take a detour, you don't need to go through Meizhou, you can directly reach Shanghang, and Shanghang has a waterway that leads directly to Shengdu. It's just that the journey is too far, and it will take ten days longer than expected.
"Hanluo, should we take a detour and go directly to Shanghang?" Xiu Chenyan was unsure of Ling Hanluo's thoughts, so he could only ask out loud.
"No, let's take the path around it."
The trail is hidden in the mountains and forests, and many places have been occupied by grass, so it is difficult to find and you cannot go on horseback. It may take a day or two to get around in the forest, and if you are lucky, you can buy a horse in the forest, but if you are unlucky, you can only walk on foot.
Xiu Chenyan saw that Ling Hanluo had already taken care of it, and he didn't ask too much. Unsaddle the horses and let them go, they know the way and will probably go back on their own.
The path is rarely walked, and it is vaguely recognizable. There are many colors in the mountains and forests during this season, red, yellow, and green, and the scenery is very beautiful.
I started to walk and felt fresh, but after a long time, I was tired and panicked.
"Hanluo, are you tired? Let's take a break. ”
The forest Zhongshan Road is rugged, and there are many places with towering ancient trees, towering into the clouds, and the two of them sit under a big tree to rest for a while.
Xiu Chenluo handed the water bag to Ling Hanluo, who naturally took it and took a sip. When Xiu Chenyan handed over the food, Ling Hanluo stared at him for a long time, and the food in his hand was never delivered to his mouth.
"You don't have to be so good to me, I know that you are an unruly man, righteous, brave, you are a person who does great things, and you don't waste your experience on me." Doing something that a servant did, Ling Hanluo didn't feel happy, but felt a blank feeling in his heart.
"If I can't take care of you, how can I do a big deal." Xiu Chenyan does not think that he is humble, and does anything for the people he cares about, this is human nature.
"You don't understand what I mean at all, how can I be so small and compare with the people of the world and the world." Ling Hanluo's love was a little excited.
"I have never cared about the world, how do the people of the world have anything to do with me, I don't know the people of the world, I only know you." Besides, he is not the emperor Lao Tzu, this is not something he should care about.
"Unreasonable."
"You look really good when you're angry. Aren't ordinary people going to lose their temper because they don't get cared for? Luo'er even has a different reason to be angry than ordinary people. Xiu Chenyan laughed, Ling Hanluo was a little emotional, and even his expression became richer, throwing the food in his hand back into Xiu Chenyan's hand, getting up and setting off to continue walking.
When Xiuchen saw him leaving, he immediately chased after him.
"Hanluo, are you really angry?" Xiu Chenyan followed Ling Hanluo's side and apologized vigorously, Ling Hanluo walked faster and faster, Xiu Chenluo chased more and more urgently, and finally both of them used light skills.
Unfortunately, they ended up lost in the mountains.
The two rich sons stood under the big tree with a dirty face, and there were the same big trees in all directions, with lush branches and leaves, blocking the entire sky.
Getting lost in the mountains and forests is a very dangerous thing, and even repairing the dust feels very tricky.
He knew that this area was steep in mountains, and there were many wild beasts in the mountains, and there were also many hidden dangers.
"Grand Master Ling, what now?" Just now, the two of you chased me all the way, and I didn't know when I took the fork in the road, and when I stopped, I realized that I had deviated far from the original route.
"The raccoon will come to me on my scent." I just don't know how long it will take.
Xiu Chenyan was full of curiosity about the little fox and how smart a fox could be.
"Does that fox really have such skills?"
"There is everything in this world, and the little fox has a mind."
Xiu Chenyan stood beside Ling Hanluo, holding a weed that he didn't know when he pulled it up, and kept shaking it in his hand.
"You're not going to say your fox is a sperm, are you?" Xiu Chencai didn't believe that there were goblins in this world, especially fox spirits.
"Maybe." Ling Hanluo said it seriously. The little fox has been by Ling Hanluo's side for many years, no one knows its age, only that it suddenly appeared when Ling Hanluo first arrived in the Purple Bamboo Forest, it only listens to Ling Hanluo's words, and is well-behaved and sensible. Ling Hanluo treated it like his own child, there was a deep bond between them, and after more than ten years of life, the little fox had been with him for the longest time.
It soon darkened, and deep in the mountains and forests, it was pitch black. It was as if I had entered the land of death, and only the wind was whirring. From time to time, there were a few black bird screams, and a majestic wolf howl.
"I think we should make a fire, if not worry about the forest burning." Although he was worried about the danger of starting a fire, he quickly lit a fire. It is not easy to find an open space in this mountain, and the dead leaves and dry branches on the ground are covered with patches, accompanied by the wind, and it is easy to break out wildfires.
"I'm hungry, I'm going to hunt a pheasant." Xiu Chenyan is obsessed with pheasants, he thinks that pheasants have a light fishy smell and taste delicious, Ling Hanluo will not reject them if he doesn't like them. Ling Hanluo looked at him with the firelight, reaching out and grabbing his arm. Xiu Chen's footsteps were slightly unsteady, and he rushed towards Ling Hanluo.
Xiu Chenyan wanted to say that this was also an accident, but it could be seen that Ling Hanluo was pressed under him, his eyes were at a loss, his lips were slightly open, revealing his red tongue, Xiu Chenyan seemed to be bewitched, leaning over and kissing him on the lips.
Ling Hanluo's eyes widened, and the subtle sensation on his lips made his brain blank.
There seemed to be countless things flickering in Xiu Chen's mind, but he couldn't see anything clearly, he only felt a sweet breath in his mouth, and he wanted to absorb more, soft and hot.
When dry wood encounters a raging fire, a little bit will really burn.
It took a long time for Ling Han to come back to his senses, his brows furrowed slightly, and he flew Xiuchen out with one palm.
Xiu Chenyan was defenseless, and hit the ground heavily, one hand was pierced by a dead branch on the ground, the pain came quickly, and blood flowed out like a flood.
"Chilling."
Xiu Chenyan hugged his injured hand. The palm of his hand was pierced, and the pain made him break out in a cold sweat, and Ling Hanluo's expression was delicate at this time, his eyes were full of anger and humiliation, and the fire flickered in his eyes.
"I ...... I didn't mean to, so what...... If you hold me, I'll fall on you. …… "Xiu Chen's face was distorted by pain, one hand grabbed his wrist tightly, looking at the miserable appearance ......of his palm, he felt that he had really suffered retribution.
What a ghost!
Hearing Xiu Chen's cry of pain, Ling Hanluo noticed the injury in the palm of his hand, and his expression loosened slightly.
"You...... I also learned a lesson, and I fell cold, and I died of pain. Xiu Chenyan shouted.
Wolves have a very sensitive sense of smell and are even more sensitive to blood. Such a big movement woke up the wolves in the forest.
The sound of rustling came from all around, and Ling Hanluo and Xiu Chenyan both knew that the situation was not good.
Ling Hanluo used internal force to remove the dead branches on the ground and pile the fire even bigger, the wolves were afraid of the fire, so they didn't dare to approach. He saw Xiuchen standing pitifully in the distance, and said loudly.
"Come here."
Xiu Chenyan thought that Ling Hanluo was going to beat him, and he was both afraid and reluctant to approach.
Ling Hanluo just grabbed his injured hand and walked into the fire and sat down slowly.
“…… Luo'er, I didn't mean to, I apologize to you for what I did. ”
"Shut up."
Ling Hanluo said what Xiuchen said, and let out a roar, telling Xiuchen to shut up obediently. The dead branch he held in the palm of Xiu Chen's hand was pulled out before he could react, so fast, in one go. Xiu Chenyan screamed and almost fainted in pain.
Xiu Chenyan lay down softly, his mind buzzing. Ling Hanluo cleaned his wound with the only amount of water, then took out the wound medicine on his body and applied it to the wound, tearing off a strip of cloth from his clothes and bandaging it. As fast as he pulls out a dead branch, fast, fierce, and ruthless.
Fortunately, the meridians in the hands were not injured, and if the people who practice martial arts hurt the meridians, they would be like a waste if they could not perform their martial arts. Ling Hanluo was trembling in pain when he saw him, and no matter how angry he was, he couldn't get out.
That's it, it's a tie, and the two don't owe each other.
Xiu Chenyan calmed down his spirit and didn't dare to speak again. It was definitely revenge just now, so fierce, so strong.
