The night was like drunk, and suddenly there was a voice in the quiet mountain, which was inevitably extraneous, he blew out the lantern in his hand, dodged and hid behind the tree, and after a while, he saw Lotus Song and Xu Qingxia talking and laughing.

The moonlight hit Hege's face, lining her pink and soft white, and her two crooked eyes when she smiled, bright and delicate. She seemed to be a little tired, walking and stopping, her forehead hair was sweating on her face, and she was still holding a thick wooden stick in her hand, which looked a little funny. In the next second, Xu Qingxia reached out and grabbed her hand very affectionately, and gently arranged the hairpin for her. And Hege has always been obedient and quietly let him do it, always with a smile on his face.

Ke saw it in his eyes, and suddenly remembered that the first day of the new year, which was forever muddy, was different only this year.

Her hand was soft, soft, with a sweet fragrance that seemed to be absent, and she fastened his cloak for him, and carefully sorted out the edges and corners. The cloak was also stained with her scent, as well as the rookie lotus pattern.

Why did such a well-behaved lotus song appear in the forest in the middle of the night with other men. Ke was a little displeased, his feet moved slightly, and he stepped on the dead branches on the ground, making a crisp sound of "pop". The two of them were startled, and they all looked back in his direction, but fortunately, his position was blocked by the shade of the tree, and they couldn't see it at all. But they were in an open place, and they clearly saw Xu Qingxia holding Hege in his arms.

When the two of them were far away, he could have turned around and went back, but the ghost sent him to follow. Fortunately, he followed and saved Hege.

Ke remembered that in order to dodge, Fang pushed her harder, and I don't know if she was injured, "Where are you hurt?" ”

The man in his arms cried: "I'm fine." What about you? I know you must be hurt, where is it? Is it serious? As he spoke, he reached out to soothe his wound.

"Don't move, don't move." Ke gasped lowly, and the wounds all over his body were burning and painful. He knew that this place was a dense forest in the hinterland of Heming Mountain, with rugged roads and deserted people, and no one would come to help. If you want to get out of trouble, you have to rely on yourself.

Right now, although they can hide behind this pile of thick ancient trees, they can only live in peace temporarily, and the fierce beasts outside are still patrolling, waiting for an opportunity to find a breakthrough. It was getting impatient, its claws flapping against the wood.

Enduring the pain all over his body, trying to concentrate on finding a way out, he suddenly felt that the person in his arms trembled slightly, this realm of life and death, this sense of despair, made him involuntarily fall into the whirlpool of memories.

"Qingfeng, don't be afraid, there is a brother."

"Hmm." The girl in her arms replied with a trill, disturbing Ke's spiritual platform.

Outside, there was the sound of chaotic shouts, the sound of sharp swords piercing flesh, the sound of bodies falling heavily. The heavy smell of blood permeated the nasal passages and was suffocating.

The girl's hair was disheveled, and her childish face was full of horror. He lowered his head and stroked the messy hair in front of her forehead in distress, and took her into his arms. comforted: "Don't be afraid, with me, I will definitely protect you." ”

The girl's hand grasped the corner of his coat tightly and buried her face in his arms in fear.

Suddenly, the curtain of the car was lifted, Ke instinctively drew his sword out, and pointed at the person who came, and the person who came exclaimed, "Young master, it's me." ”

Ke Cai saw clearly that Mr. Gu with a bloody face was in front of him, followed by Fu Zhe, and the tip of the sword was still dripping with blood.

"Young master, come with me, the situation is not in our favor, you and Feng'er must go separately!"

"Nope! Feng'er is too small, I can't leave her! Ke dropped his sword and hugged the girl in his arms tightly with both hands.

"Young master, now that the situation is compelling, they have too many people, if we don't separate, we all have to die!" Mr. Gu said anxiously, waving his hand and beckoning a tall warrior, "This is Wan Kui, my henchman, you hand over Feng'er to him, and he will lead him to break through." We'll get back in touch after we're done. Young master, there is still a way to live when you are separated, stay here together, you will definitely die! ”

Ke raised his eyes weakly, and through Mr. Gu's group, he saw that there were constantly fighting figures outside in front of the car, and their defense circle was shrinking. Although he was only a teenager at the time, although he was holding his most distressed little sister in his arms, he still had a clear mind. He knew that what Mr. Gu said was the truth, and they were desperate and had no choice. However, who knows if we can really see each other again.

He personally tied the shoulder strap of the cloak for the little sister, patted her back gently, and slowly and softly comforted, "Don't be afraid, don't you love galloping horses the most?" In the past, I was afraid that you would be injured and would not let you ride, but today I made an exception and asked General Wan Kui to take you for a run. Remember only one thing, if you are obedient, your brother will come to you. The thin, trembling girl had tears in her eyes and nodded with her mouth in her mouth.

Even after many years, Ke still vividly remembers the blue cloak fluttering in the wind as the horse's hooves kicked up. That picture was still so dazzling, so distressing to him.

He can't protect a small person, so what a big cause!

The lotus song in his arms sobbed quietly, and he couldn't say a sentence. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have listened to you, I shouldn't have gone to this deep mountain to see some fireflies, I'm too willful, you don't want to have anything. ”

Ke was silent for a moment, then stretched out a hand and gently patted her shoulder, "Don't be afraid, with me, I will definitely protect you." ”

He felt the hand of the person in his arms tugging at his clothes tighter, so he lay down lightly and comforted her in her ear: "I'm fine, I didn't expect you to want to see it so much, and when I find a good day, I'll accompany you." The words are calm, and the tone is also comfortable, which makes people's hearts warm. As if there were no terrifying beasts at the moment, but the moonlight was cool, and the evening breeze was drunk, and the two were sitting idly in the courtyard of the library, discussing the itinerary for the coming day.

He Ge leaned on Ke's arms and let him coax him, and sure enough, he gradually stopped sobbing.

The beast outside had been wandering around for a long time, and now it was no longer patient, and suddenly began to hit the wooden body fiercely, and tried to jump several times. The hearts of the two of them rose to their throats again, and the dead wood in front of them was not solid, and they were hit by the tiger, and they couldn't support it when they saw it. Dust and leaves kept falling.

With a sigh, the dead wood behind him rolled down, revealing a mountain road, the branches were not very dense, and a little mottled moonlight fell to the ground. You can see a small downward slope. The two were stunned. Ignoring the severe pain of the wound, he stood up, grabbed Hege's hand, and stumbled towards the small slope. As soon as he ran a few steps, he heard the dead wood collapse with a thud behind him, and the beast roared, and the sound of running sounded behind him.

Ke tightly held Hege's hand and ran wildly on the night road. He Ge remembered that when he usually taught calligraphy, he would occasionally hold her hand and teach her hand by hand. At that time, his hands were warm and soft, the strength was neither light nor heavy, and a few random strokes looked good. At this moment of life and death, his hands were hot, and even pinched her a little.

She looked up and saw Ke's face hidden in the dim moonlight, bright and clear. A few blood stains crossed his cheeks, and he could no longer see his usual calmness. He had several scratches and bites from fierce beasts, which was shocking. He Ge felt as if these wounds were all hurt on his heart, otherwise why would his heart hurt so much.

The roar behind him was closer, and He Ge could already feel the breath from the beast's mouth. She can't run, and Ke will be affected by herself with her. If he is the only one now, he may still be able to earn a glimmer of life.

He Ge looked at Ke, and his heart turned over and over. Her life was originally saved by Ke, he saved her twice, and she should return him once. It's a pity that she doesn't have time to say anything, which may be what people often say about missing a chance.

That's fine.

He Ge's eyes were misty with tears, she endured the sore pain in her heart, and reached out to break Ke's hand, but he didn't expect him to hold it tightly with great force, and he didn't even turn his head, "Don't think about it, I will never give you up." ”

He Ge was stunned for a moment, and tears flowed down his cheeks, "Let go of me, Ke, I can't run, I'll hurt you." I was a person who had nothing to do with you, and you didn't need to take your life for me. ”

"Who said it doesn't matter." Ke turned his face sideways, his eyes hit He Ge's face sharply, and his tone was categorical, "Since I saved your life, you should always repay the favor." There are so many things in the library, how can I deal with myself without you? ”

"But weren't you ...... before," He Ge was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Ke.

"The new lotus in the pond is just blooming, didn't you say that when you have lotus seeds, you will make lotus seed soup for me?"

"Yes, but now ......"

"In winter, you say that my cloak is too thin, and in autumn the wind will catch a cold, and if you want to make a new one for me, I will wait. The windows and doors in the library are old, and they are still waiting for you to cut a new batch. With so many things, you don't have to break your word. ”

Ke's words surprised Hege, and she had indeed said them to him. But the daytime is idle and chattering. When He Ge said this, Ke was mostly either indifferently grinding ink and writing, or drinking tea and reading books. When she said it, he often didn't even react at all. He Ge always thought that he didn't care about these things, but he didn't expect to be able to say it so clearly one by one today, but now it seems that he has never really understood him.

The two of them were exhausted, and they were about to reach the end of their rope, when suddenly their feet were empty and they fell into a tree hole. At the same time, the beast behind him jumped up, but it was a scream, as if it had fallen somewhere.

There was an instant silence all around, and the hole in the tree where Ke and Hege fell was not deep, and there were thick fallen leaves, but it played a good protective role, and they were not injured again. The two listened attentively to the movement outside, and for a long time, there was no movement. Enduring the pain all over his body, while comforting Hege, he leaned out to check outside the cave. He Ge grabbed the corner of Ke's clothes tightly in worry, and as he poked out his head, he looked out of the cave.

Outside the cave is a starry sky and a bright moon, and the sound of water is heard not far away. Looking ahead, there was a cliff, and the beast had fallen down the valley.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, they had just run all the way, but now they suddenly relaxed, and the pain of tearing flesh and skin all over their bodies and the dizziness of blood loss all came up together. Before the three words "It's okay" were finished, Ke tilted his head and lost consciousness.
