After entering the barren land, Situ Yan really understood what the innkeeper meant by "barren". Out of Gaoping County, at first you can still see woods, meadows, streams, and even smoke wafting from the villages. But such a good scenery has only been gone for one day, and there is not even a single human figure, and even the animals are pitiful, so she has to buy more chickens and rabbits, otherwise the snow wolf will have to eat vegetarian food in two days.

Seeing that it was already dark at this time, Situ Yan took out a bundle of firewood from the ring, set up a fire and lit it, removed the feathers of the chicken he bought, washed it, and roasted it on the fire with steamed buns. ”

Snow Wolf: "Woo! Whew! screamed for a long time, as if she was protesting with Situ Yan, she abused good little animals, "Hahaha!" It made her hug the snow wolf and laugh for a long time, if it weren't for the fear of attracting some unclean things, Situ Yan would have planned to laugh for an hour!

"Snow wolf, you said that we have been chasing for so many days, but we haven't caught up with the eldest brother and them, in terms of foot, it is impossible for them to go so fast, it can't be the same as us, riding in a car, right?"

In fact, it really made Situ Yan guess that Li Youzhu's care for Wu Jin made Situ Yan's pursuit of relatives much more difficult, and the day of reunion with Wu Jin was delayed for a few months.

And Duanmu Xuan and his entourage rode horses, although they left a day later than Situ Yan, they also followed, "Young master." There is a fire in front, so my subordinates will go and see it first! ”

"It's okay, let's go together! It's dark all around. Even if you get close, you won't be able to see anything! Mo Feng glanced around, except for the torches in their hands, he couldn't even see the shadow of a tree in the four corners. Nodding his head, he whistled behind him to remind the guards to be careful, and then followed Duanmu Xuan towards the firelight. He was so careful. I am also afraid that this fire is a trap set up to lead the young master past. In fact, Duanmu Xuan still understood that if someone really targeted him, even if it didn't pass at this time. There is nowhere to hide in such a barren place, and it is better to be generous in the past, the so-called soldiers will block, and the water will flood.

Several people rode closer and closer. Finally, I saw that there was only one person by the fire. Judging by his figure, his age should not be too big, but he couldn't see it clearly from a distance, but Duanmu Xuan still saw a wolf standing next to this person, bowing down, and making a gesture to pounce on them.

"Little brother, our master and servant are passing by here for the first time, and they haven't prepared firewood and grass, so they want to borrow your fire for warmth?" This wasteland after nightfall. The temperature plummets if there is no fire to keep warm. It's really cold.

"Whatever!" Situ Yan just glanced at these people, it was too dark to see clearly, she just felt that this person spoke politely, so she didn't care, anyway, if these people wanted to be unfavorable to her, she just wanted to escape It was too late. What she thinks in her heart is the same as Duanmu Xuan, since she can't hide it, it is better to face it head-on, maybe there is still a glimmer of life. What's more, if these people want to do it, I'm afraid they won't have a relationship with her, they would have done it directly, after all, according to the number of people, it is obviously not good for Situ Yan. She patted the snow wolf and continued to roast the chicken in her hand, she didn't want to eat the roasted chicken.

Duanmu Xuan heard this voice for a while, then got off the horse, walked to the fire, first glanced at the snow wolf, only to find that this was a Tibetan mastiff, not a wolf, then relieved to look at Situ Yan who was roasting chicken, although the body shape has changed a little, and even the appearance on his face is different from his impression, but he still remembers the voice, so he asked tentatively, "Little brother, we meet again?" ”

His voice not only attracted the attention of Mo Feng and others, but also moved Situ Yan's gaze from the roast chicken to him, Situ Yan's memory naturally would not lose to Duanmu Xuan, and this Duanmu Xuan was not as easy as her, so after only one glance, he had already recognized this person as the rich young master who guessed the lantern fan to win her lantern two years ago. But she didn't take this person to heart, she just glanced at it, then at Mo Feng and the others, and then concentrated on roasting the chicken in her hand.

"Little brother, you won't remember me, will you? Two years ago, we had a relationship in Xinchang County! "Encountering an old acquaintance in a foreign country, and this person is still someone he is interested in, which makes Duanmu Xuan even more excited. sat on the ground and kept talking to Situ Yan.

"I don't know!" Situ Yan didn't want to have anything to do with this person, so she replied coldly.

"I'm not good at anything else, but this memory is better than ordinary people. Although the appearance of the little brother has changed slightly, I will never remember the voice! ”

"If you are deliberately trying to share my chicken, you don't have to, I'm just this chicken, and I don't have enough to share it with others!"

"Hahaha! You don't want to admit it yet, and it doesn't matter. But you're as sharp as you were back then! Duanmu Xuan didn't care about Situ Yan's indifference, and smiled happily, but Mo Feng couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward and drew his knife and slashed at Situ Yan.

"Mofeng, stop!" Before Mo Feng's knife fell, Duanmu Xuan roared, and Mo Feng hurriedly restrained the strength of the slash. In fact, Mo Feng is like this, he also believes that the young master will never admit his mistake, this person must be the kid back then, if it is him, then this person has kung fu, so he has most of the ingredients of this knife temptation, and he does not intend to hurt people, so as soon as Duanmu Xuan shouted, he stopped. But the other guards were not so calm, after all, Mo Feng's knife was only less than an inch away from Situ Yan's head.

"I kindly let you keep warm, but I don't want to lure the wolf into the house!" Situ Yan only snorted, she didn't even dodge, from the moment Mo Feng swung the knife, she already felt that this knife did not carry killing intent, although this person did not have malicious intent, but Tai Sui's head broke ground, and she was not a vegetarian.

"I'm sorry! Little brother, it's my men who offended. Duanmu Xuan hurriedly got up and apologized to Situ Yan.

"Forget it, don't make me eat!" At this time, the roast chicken in Situ Yan's hand was just roasted, and the golden aroma of the roasted roast chicken wafted out several miles away, not to mention Duanmu Xuan, even the guards around him drooled vigorously.

"Whew!" The snow wolf was even more anxious to circle around Situ Yan. Wagging his big fluffy tail like a rattle, "Snow wolf, you won't eat it again, will you?" Let's talk about it. The wings and drumsticks are mine, and the rest is yours, and you can't finish eating! ”

Situ Yan put the roasted chicken on a piece of cloth, directly tore off the chicken wings and chicken legs, and threw the rest to the snow wolf.

This kid just said that he didn't have enough to eat and wouldn't give it to him. But in a blink of an eye, he gave the roast chicken to an animal, could it be that his dignified son was not even as good as an animal, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. This time, he ignored Situ Yan, and asked Mo Feng to take the wine bag and drink the wine directly.

Duanmu Xuan can endure it, but Mo Feng can't help it. "Why are you like that? He's just a beast! You have chickens and buns here. There is no division of people, but it is given to one animal? ”

When she met Duanmu Xuan here, Situ Yan was in a bad mood, if Mo Feng just spoke disrespectfully to her, maybe she could still bear it, but she couldn't bear it if she was unreasonable to the snow wolf.

"Sometimes people are inferior to animals. Even animals will not do anything that will take revenge! Situ Yan's words obviously referred to Mo Feng's knife cutting her just now, so much so that Mo Feng couldn't even speak. With his hand pressed on the knife, he just waited for Duanmu Xuan to give an order.

"Mofeng, forget it!" Duanmu Xuan saw that Mo Feng was humiliated. I was even more angry in my heart. But the chicken is not his, and even if they don't give it to him, there is nothing to blame. And it was indeed Mo Feng's provocation just now, so he had to endure this breath.

"Young master!" Mo Feng was unwilling, it can be seen that the young master insisted, where did he dare to go against the master's wishes, so he had to sit aside unwillingly and help Duanmu Xuan roast the steamed buns.

Situ Yan didn't even raise her eyelids, as long as these people didn't trouble her, she was happy to be quiet.

After drinking for a while, Duanmu Xuan became more unwilling the more he thought about it, and came to Situ Yan's side again, "Little brother, as the saying goes, there is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, and there are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, why don't I toast you with a cup, how about we laugh and enmity?" ”

"Your status is precious, I'm just a flat-headed commoner, I can't be your brother, not to mention that there is a saying that you have forgotten, you don't know each other without a chance, and you don't speculate for more than half a sentence, this saying can't be taken out of context, right?"

"Hahaha, it's me who looks at it, little brother, whether you drink it or not, I respect you for this cup!" Duanmu Xuan's pride, if it were a different era, would be appreciated by Situ Yan, but now in ancient times, talking about background and dignity is not what she wants, so she knows that there is no result, she will never be contaminated.

But after all, this person had no ill will towards her, and after thinking about it, he still took out a dead chicken from the car and threw it to Mo Feng, "I'm going to sleep, you guys roast it slowly!" ”

"Little brother, this long night is long, wouldn't it be better for us to talk at night, I haven't had time to ask, where is the little brother going?"

Situ Yan frowned, this person drank wine and became a chatter, it was really troublesome. "Yumen Pass."

"Great! I'm also going to Yumen Pass, we can go the same way! ”

"Young master, can't you?" Mo Feng had already made Situ Yan's attitude angry, where was he willing to let her follow.

"Mo Feng, why don't I know when I am in charge of this place?"

"The subordinates don't dare!"

"Then go roast the chicken, where did you get so much nonsense!"

"Little brother, you don't have to worry about him, why don't we go together?"

"No need, I'm afraid of noise!"

"No, I must not talk much!"

"Thank you for your kindness, I like to be alone!"

"It's okay, it's okay, anyway, this is the only way to Yumen Pass, and we will always encounter it!"

Duanmu Xuan's words attracted Situ Yan's attention, if she didn't want to go with this person, I was afraid that she would have to rush at night to escape. As soon as she thought that it was obviously this person's problem, but she was going to suffer from it, the glimmer of good feeling that had just risen disappeared in an instant.

"Little brother, how did you escape from Xinchang County, why did you go to Yumen Pass?"

"Looking for relatives."

"Who are you, parents? Brothers? Or is it a daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door? Duanmu Xuan drank wine at this time, and this person showed his uninhibited true face again.

"Brother." Situ Yan didn't want to answer him, but this person's ease and ease were not so annoying, so he responded casually.

"Oh, I don't know what your brother's name is, I can look it up for me?"

"Thanks, no."

"You can't toast and don't eat, but you can't be punished for drinking?" Mo Feng was on the side, listening to the young master's flattering accosting, but this kid not only didn't appreciate it, but also looked like he was ignoring, where could he bear it.

"The toast and punishment also depend on who gave it, since we can't talk anywhere, please be quiet!" Situ Yan was worried that she couldn't get out, so with the help of Mo Feng's words, she got up and went back to her boxcar, telling the snow wolf to keep vigil, and she slept directly under the cover.

"Mo Feng, what's going on with you today? I see you silently on weekdays, why are you talking so much today? ”

"Young master, this kid is too much, we just borrowed his fire to roast the fire, but he has a face like how much money we owe him, and it makes people angry when they look at it."

"Yes, young master, Captain Mofeng is right. Why don't you go down and teach that kid a lesson? ”

"This matter was originally rude to us, and this man has no ill will towards us, but his character is like this, you must not be rude to others!"

"Subordinates take orders!" Where can Situ Yan sleep, just close his eyes and listen to them, Duanmu Xuan's words added a lot of points to him.

After eating roast chicken, Mo Feng and the guards set up tents, Duanmu Xuan came in a hurry all the way, and the people drank again, and their hearts were happy, so they slept more heavily than usual.

When there was no sound outside, Situ Yan got up, looked at the sky, and when it was near, there were only two guards by the fire who were keeping vigil, Situ Yan ignored these two, and directly set up the car, called the snow wolf to explore the way, and continued to rush north.

She didn't want to go with these people early the next morning, she was slow, so she would wait for dawn first, and then find a place to rest, so that she could stagger with Duanmu Xuan, who was on the road early in the morning.

The two guards who were keeping vigil also saw Situ Yan leaving, but they didn't have a good impression of this person, and when they saw that the person was gone, they didn't leave any persuasion, and they were even more happy in their hearts, they didn't want to rush with Situ Yan.

It wasn't until the next morning that Duanmu Xuan got up and realized that the little brother had already left, so angry that he scolded the two guards who were keeping vigil, didn't even eat breakfast, turned over and chased straight north.

Maybe God is tired of seeing the two always pass by like this, maybe the time has come, in short, these two have finally intersected, although their hearts are still far apart, but at least the two are no longer strangers. It's just that whether this encounter is good or bad depends on how many knots the old moon has to tie on the red line. (To be continued......)
