After a pause, the shadow suddenly moved, and let out a series of heavy coughing sounds.

"It's human!" He Ge cautiously poked out half of his head to look in the direction of the shadow, and asked in a low voice, "Who could it be?" ”

"No matter who it is, in the dead of night, in the wilderness, it is better to be careful." Ke lowered his voice, but his eyes were still fixed on the shadow.

After the shadow coughed violently, it finally stopped slightly, and a slightly familiar voice came: "Hege, is it you?" ”

He Ge reacted immediately and jumped away from Ke's side. I thought there was no one else in this forest, why did I forget Xu Qingxia!

"Qingxia, Xu Qingxia, it's really you!" He Ge was surprised and ran towards the shadow, but was dragged back by Ke.

"Let's take a look first."

The shadow seemed to pause, but still walked towards them, the movement was very awkward, and it took a long time to see clearly, it was Xu Qingxia who came. He limped along, covered in old wounds and new wounds, the flesh of his left ankle turned out, blood flowed, and he was obviously seriously injured.

"Qingxia, what's wrong with you?" He Ge was frightened, and was about to step forward to help him, but Xu Qingxia opened his mouth anxiously first: "Hurry, go quickly." There are wild leopards in this forest. ”

While speaking, Xu Qingxia had already come to the two of them. His eyes swept over Ke, stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed.

"It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, although the leopard is wounded and runs away, it will come back in a while. Let's go! Xu Qingxia urged anxiously.

The wild leopard, an animal that runs like lightning, is no joke, and all three of them are injured at this time, and if they encounter it again, they will never be as lucky as before.

"It's better to go back to the tree hole, there is a fire there, and the place is spacious, so it should be safe." Ke had a calm face, and his words were hurried. Although his face was calm, his heart was also a little anxious.

The atmosphere, which was originally very romantic and dreamy, instantly suppressed the tension. He Ge couldn't care about the "Forget Worry Candle" dancing beside him, and nodded busily. The two of them supported Xu Qingxia on the left and on the right, and hurried away.

Different from the expectations when they came, on the way back, everyone couldn't talk about it, they couldn't wait for the wind under their feet, and they had to take care of Xu Qingxia's injuries, and it was really hard to walk.

At this moment, the morning star of the East has gradually appeared.

He Ge helped Xu Qingxia to lie down on the haystack in the tree hole, just before he got close, he already felt that Xu Qingxia was not lightly injured, and at this moment, under a closer look, He Ge gasped unconsciously and exclaimed. "Why did you hurt so badly!"

I saw that Xu Qingxia's whole body was covered with long scratches, which were very similar to the scars on Ke's body, but they were deeper and longer than Ke's wounds, and blood was gushing from all of them. There were also striking wounds on his neck and face. The arm was also apparently badly injured, and blood was gushing from between the fingers. The whole person was bloody, like a leaky bag, as if blood was bleeding everywhere. It is unbelievable that he did not collapse immediately after being so badly injured.

Xu Qingxia's face was terrifyingly pale, and there was no trace of blood on his lips. His eyes were a little sloppy, but he still tried to remain indifferent. He pursed his lips and smiled at Hege, "I'm fine, don't worry." What about you, are you hurt? ”

"I'm fine, how are you, why are you hurt so badly!" Seeing Xu Qingxia in such a miserable situation, He Ge was both anxious and self-blaming, and distressed, if it weren't for his willfulness, Xu Qingxia might be drinking and dancing with Zhong Hao at the moment, or blowing the wind to the moon, no matter which one is a hundred times better than now. If he hadn't beaten away the wild leopard just now, he and Ke would have been buried in this forest. As for himself, since he met Ke, he has almost completely forgotten his existence, let alone thinking about whether he is safe. How could he be such a person, he is simply a "wolf-hearted dog"!

Xu Qingxia walked all the way, and the sharp pain from the wounds all over his body made him almost faint. He leaned against the hollow of the tree, quietly relieving. When he opened his eyes again, he saw He Ge hurriedly helping him stop the bleeding while crying. Unfortunately, as soon as the wound was bandaged, the blood soaked through. No matter how many clothes He Ge has, it's not enough to rip.

"Bodyguard people, injuries are common, don't worry." At this moment, Xu Qingxia still spoke softly, and she lost her "son" demeanor at all. "I have gold sore medicine in my right pocket, you can help me take it out." As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Ke's body, who had been silent on the side. "It seems that Gongzi Ke is also injured, Hege, you take it and put it on Gongzi Ke first."

Although Ke has always been close to Zhong Hao, there are not many opportunities to get along directly with Xu Qingxia. Xu Qingxia obeyed Zhong Hao's orders and never had much contact with others. Therefore, these two people are not actually acquainted.

"My injuries are out of the way, so I don't have to worry about it." Ke replied politely.

"Qingxia, Ke's words are good, I have taken care of his wounds, you should care about yourself first. With such a serious injury, it doesn't matter. He Ge's eyes turned red again as he spoke.

"People who practice martial arts are not so delicate." Xu Qingxia didn't finish a sentence, but coughed sharply. He Ge hurriedly stepped forward to give him a smooth stroke. After the breath was a little smoother, Xu Qingxia opened his mouth and continued: "This time, it is still to blame Qingxia for not being thoughtful. will take you into the mountain rashly alone, otherwise you will not suffer such a big sin. ”

Xu Qingxia completely took the responsibility on herself, and she didn't even have the slightest intention of complaining. The more he did this, the more guilty He Ge felt.

"It's naturally my fault this time, you don't have to hide it for me. When I return, I will accept any punishment. Right now, your injuries are the most important. He Ge said as he took out the gold sore medicine and carefully applied the medicine to Xu Qingxia.

"I really didn't expect to meet Gongzi Ke here. Why did Gongzi Ke enter the mountain late at night? Xu Qingxia saw that He Ge blamed himself and felt guilty, and he couldn't say anything more, so he changed the topic.

While adding firewood, Ke asked steadily: "Why are you?" ”

"He Ge has always wanted to see the Forget Worry Candle, so I brought her here."

"Oh, what a coincidence."

Xu Qingxia was a little surprised when she heard Ke's answer, "Gongzi Ke is also for this?" ”

"So what do you think?"

Xu Qingxia's name is not unheard. As soon as he reached adulthood, he inherited his father's authority, and he was able to control his subordinates in a clever way. The Songmen dart game is now under his hands, not just a small dart game, but also a strong party. He himself is Zhong Hao's right-hand man, although he has a foreign surname, he is an important person in the Song family. The reputation of "Qingxia Gongzi" is even more well-known in the rivers and lakes. Both black and white are tenable. is young, but has such achievements, such a character, his mind should not be underestimated.

Even if Zhong Hao is shrewd, there is no lack of free and easy refreshment, but this Xu Qingxia has a polite demeanor and a calm mind. Ke admires such an outstanding talent, and thanks him for saving his life, but he is unwilling to give him half of his trust.

At this moment, facing Xu Qingxia's question, Ke just answered lightly, he wanted to see how this Qingxia prince would answer.

Xu Qingxia smiled with relief, "He Ge has been complaining that no one has accompanied her to see it before, but it seems that Gongzi Ke still has a heart." ”

Xu Qingxia's answer was very unusual. Ke asked with interest, "Oh? What does that mean? ”

"Didn't Gongzi Ke go into the mountains to find fireflies first for the sake of Hege? It is said that Qingxia is too reckless, if she can go into the mountains to investigate the situation first like Gongzi, she will not break into such a big disaster and affect her. Gongzi Ke is more careful than Qingxia after all. Xu Qingxia said quietly, her eyes suddenly a little lonely.

He Ge's medicine hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, and she didn't believe her ears. Although Xu Qingxia's words were plain, the meaning was still clear. If it is really as he said, Ke entered the mountain for him, and sacrificed his life to save her, then Ke's heart, did he miss a lot in the past? He Ge suddenly had an irrepressible smile welling up, and she quickly lowered her head and continued to take the medicine. But her smile did not hide from a pair of eyes.

The thrilling night is finally over. The morning star grew brighter and brighter, and occasionally a birdsong or two echoed faintly among the rolling hills.

After a night of tossing, the three of them were a little tired. Xu Qingxia leaned against the hollow of the tree, the dizziness of excessive blood loss had gradually subsided, and most of his spirit had recovered. By the fire, Hege leaned on Ke's shoulder and dozed off slightly, and Ke also sat quietly and closed his eyes to recuperate. Xu Qingxia curled the corners of her mouth and smiled.

A night's hard work is not in vain, Xu Qingxia breathed a sigh of relief, closed her eyes slightly and wanted to rest for a while, but her thoughts surged uncontrollably.

The rain was pouring down, and the mountain roads were so muddy that it was almost impossible to walk. They unknowingly walked into Heming Mountain from the official road. The branches and leaves in the mountains seem to be a little lighter. Finally found a flat place to stay, and everyone was so tired that they could almost fall to sleep. He had a cold before he set out, and he thought that this errand was only a short errand, and that he would be able to make a round trip in two days, but on the way back he encountered such a heavy rain.

The rain drenched him all over, and as soon as he stopped, he developed a high fever, and even the others were a little dazed. But he couldn't let anyone see that he was sick, and at that time he had just inherited the dart door, and many people bullied him for his young age, and they were all eager to replace him. At such a moment, he must not let people see the slightest weakness. Fortunately, this time he came out with Zhong Hao. They grew up together, and their feelings have always been different. In this world, he can disbelieve anyone, but he will never disbelieve Zhong Hao. What's more, this time Zhong Hao followed them, ostensibly to come out for a walk, but in fact, he knew that Zhong Hao was to help him with the people under the town.

He was burned and aching, but he still held on to command everyone to place horses and goods, and set up tents to shelter from the rain. Zhong Hao is a son, so naturally someone has already served everything. When he was done with everything, as soon as he stepped into Zhong Hao's tent with one foot, it was dark in front of him, and he planted it straight down.

When he woke up again, he was lying on the inside of Zhong Hao's bed, covered with a thick brocade quilt, and the brocade quilt was covered with a mink quilt with a shiny coat. Zhong Hao was lying on the outside of the bed, holding a book and studying it intently, his black hair was not tied up, and it was scattered casually behind his head. The fire burning in the center of the tent bakes the whole tent as warm as a sunny spring day. All the wet clothes on his body have been changed, and he is wearing Zhong Hao's satin bedgown at the moment.

According to Zhong Hao's preference, all the bedding is taken out after incense. The heat in the quilt was mixed with the aroma, and the faint smell of wine on Zhong Hao's body was steaming. Xu Qingxia felt that it was a little too hot. He stretched out his hand to pull the quilt off a little.

"Don't move, it's burning so badly, you need to cover it more." Zhong Hao sensed the movement on his side, put down the book in his hand, and turned his face to look at him, as if he was a little angry.

"I'm much better, and I'm lighter. It's too hot in this quilt. Xu Qingxia said, and wanted to pull the quilt, but his hand was held by Zhong Hao.

Zhong Hao lowered his head, and his long hair hung down to Xu Qingxia's neck and shoulders. "I said I wasn't allowed to move. How dare you go against my son's wishes? Zhong Hao pretended to be angry, but there was a smile in his eyes.

Xu Qingxia was suddenly amused. "Okay, okay, I'm not moving. But how long have I been asleep? If it is known by people outside, I am afraid it will not be good. ”

"Afraid of what? In the final analysis, they still have to eat my Song family's food, and if they dare to be disrespectful to you, I will never spare them. Zhong Hao said, raised his hand to lift the quilt on his side, got out of bed, and turned around to carefully tuck the quilt for Xu Qingxia. You kid, you faint so suddenly, and spill a pot of good wine that I have just scalded. I'll have to give you the medicine. ”

Xu Qingxia felt a slight pain in her arm, thinking that she had just been burned.

Zhong Hao came back with the ointment, and handed it to Xu Qingxia with a cup of hot wine, "Na, drink a cup of hot wine, it's the most chill-repellent." Don't worry about it, I'm here. ”

Xu Qingxia obediently took the wine glass and drank it all. The wine seems to have a faint fragrance of roses, and the mellow wine flows down the throat into the abdomen, like a hot spring, with the fragrance of rich flowers, and on the tip of the tongue, in the body, and on the heart, there are incomparably gorgeous flowers.

To this day, he still remembers this taste very clearly.

Xu Qingxia took a deep breath and spit out again.
