Chapter 54: The Bonfire
The branches of the tree shook, Li Xinchen slid down from the tree with his hands and feet, and there was already a quiet in the surrounding darkness, after all, this place had already crossed a mountain from the waterhole they came out of before, even if the array spread out by the Northern Zhou army was large, it would not be possible to spread here, even if it was a scout team, I am afraid it would not spread so far.
However, Li Xinchen still cautiously climbed the tree and carefully observed for a long time before making a gesture to Xiao Shilian under the tree. Xiao Shilian nodded, found a place where the moonlight couldn't find it and the woods were hidden, carefully put the firewood he had collected before, and then took out the flint that was finally cleaned and touched it violently.
I have to say that Xiao Shilian was born in a military family, and these skills that should be learned as a scout are still very proficient.
A wisp of fire slowly rose, and looking at Li Li'er, who was still trembling with her coat wrapped in herself, Li Xinchen sighed softly. My sister is a woman after all, and there is no way to compare her physical fitness with Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian, who also died in the water, Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian just shook the water on their bodies, but Li Li'er sneezed a few times one after another, and her little head was also a little hot, and the whole person was dizzy, and it looked like she was suffering from the cold.
But Li Xinchen had no choice but to try to make a fire to give Li Li'er a little warmth. Li Xinchen didn't want the last loved one he desperately followed and protected to leave him in this way.
"Brother Li, my clothes are almost dry, you can wear mine, it's not a good thing to be naked like this after all, don't freeze yourself." Xiao Shilian also took off his coat and handed it to Li Xinchen.
Li Xinchen waved his hand: "It's okay, a certain rough skin and thick flesh can't be used yet." ”
Xiao Shilian suddenly feigned anger and said: "According to what you say, do you dislike a certain fine skin and tender meat?" ”
With a wry smile, Li Xinchen didn't know how to explain it, but he also understood what Xiao Shilian meant, for Xiao Shilian, who had an excellent family education, of course he couldn't watch Li Xinchen's brothers and sisters freeze, so he would feel uncomfortable.
Li Xinchen simply reached out and took the clothes, and walked straight over to put on his sister who was trembling slightly: "Come, Li'er, put this one on again." ”
While speaking, Li Xinchen carefully tidied up Li Li'er's sleeves, and at the same time reached out and put it on her forehead, couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, and looked up at Xiao Shilian: "Li'er's head is getting hotter and hotter, it can't go on like this, go to the creek over there to get some water, you look at our food, and finally caught a hare, don't roast it on the fire." ”
Xiao Shilian nodded, watched Li Xinchen go away, and looked around vigilantly. At this time, Li Li'er, who was already a little dizzy, said in a low voice: "Water······ Water ······"
Xiao Shilian was stunned for a moment, and he didn't care about anything else at this time, so he reached out and untied his water bag and hurriedly sent it to Li Li'er's mouth. The girl obviously had a high fever and was already burning, but she subconsciously grabbed Xiao Shilian's sleeve, and with great force, her nails were almost pinched into Xiao Shilian's arm, obviously treating him as those damned bandits and Northern Zhou armorers.
Xiao Shilian gritted his teeth and didn't dare to make a sound, he had already greeted Li Xinchen thousands of times in his heart, this guy was really good at picking the time and throwing his sister to him neatly. However, Li Xinchen was not there, and Xiao Shilian couldn't look at Li Li'er like this, his own face was slightly red at first, and he didn't know if it was because of the bonfire burning, or because this was actually the first time Xiao Shilian had such intimate contact with a strange girl.
"Poor girl, I'm sorry for the urgency." Xiao Shilian thought about it and said solemnly, before he reached out and gently hugged Li Li'er, barely pried open her closed lips with a water bag, "Miss Li'er, come, be careful." ”
Although Li Li'er had a high fever, she still had reason after all, and at the moment she seemed to realize that she was not the damn enemy, so she slowly let go of her hand, took a sip of water, and slowly opened her eyes. When she saw that it was not her own brother who came into her eyes, but another young and handsome man, Li Li'er almost widened her eyes: "You! ”
A mouthful of water almost sprayed on Xiao Shilian's body, Li Li'er coughed while coming back to her senses, at this time she recognized in a trance, the person in front of her was Xiao Shilian who brought her out of a desperate situation, but Li Li'er had no more strength, just muttered: "Xiao ······ General Xiao, I'm sorry, there is no ······"
"It's okay, it's okay," Xiao Shilian was in a mess first, the water bag in his hand almost fell, he hurriedly caught it, scratching his head a little embarrassed, "Come on, you can drink a little more, Brother Li went to find water, and he will be back soon." ”
Li Li'er lowered her head slightly: "I ······"
Xiao Shilian was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Li'er with some doubts: "Does Miss Li'er have something on her mind?" ”
"Ah······h Li Li'er's voice was very low, "I'm really sorry, General Xiao, I have affected you and my brother, if it weren't for me, ······"
Xiao Shilian said in a deep voice: "How can you say this?!" Not to mention that you are Brother Li's sister, since Brother Li and Brother Li are called brothers, then you are also Brother Li's sister. What's more, even if it is a meeting in Pingshui, how can a certain Xiao Shilian have a reason not to save him when he dies? ”
Li Li'er was stunned, raised her head with dizziness and discomfort, and couldn't help but laugh when she looked at Xiao Shilian's angry appearance. And Xiao Shilian scratched his head with some doubts: "You······ What are you laughing at, is there something wrong with what so-and-so said? ”
"It's nothing," Li Li'er hurriedly waved her hand, and said with a straight face, "General Xiao's kindness, Li'er must be remembered." ”
Xiao Shilian exhaled lightly, squatted down and handed the water bag to Li Li'er: "I was also offended by me just now, and I asked Miss Li'er not to be surprised." Now that you are weak, you should drink a little more water, if you feel uncomfortable, just say it. ”
Li Li'er snorted and took the water bag, and Xiao Shilian seemed to notice something: "It's still a little uncomfortable from time to time, or I'll tell you a story." ”
"General Xiao still tells stories?" Li Li'er was suddenly a little curious, and barely cheered up.
Xiao Shilian nodded as a matter of course: "Why, you must know that when Daddy asked me to read, I secretly read a lot of miscellaneous books, to be honest, these books are interesting, and the records on them are all some miscellaneous conversations, so I will tell you the story of the rotten Ke people in "The Strange Story······"
Feeling the weight on his shoulders, Xiao Shilian realized that he didn't know when Li Li'er had fallen asleep on his shoulder. The corners of Xiao Shilian's mouth twitched, but he didn't move, he didn't want to wake up Li Lian'er, who was still tired in the end.
While looking at the roaring bonfire and the roasted hare on the bonfire, Xiao Shilian felt the girl's gentle breathing close at hand.
The hard work along the way is really a rare moment of calm.
