The surroundings were unusually quiet, and Yue Tuo's sudden full-body vigilance made the forest in front of him even more weird, and Lan Xi'er had a very ominous premonition. staring at Yue Tuo's back tightly, he felt that his breathing was a big move at the moment. Time stood still, Lan Xi'er's heart was suppressed by this tense atmosphere and couldn't beat, trying to keep her consciousness clear, she knew that she must not just be afraid, she must keep up with Yue Tuo's thinking, only in this way will it not affect him.

I don't know how long it took, but Lan Xi'er finally noticed that there was movement not far away, and she was slowly approaching them. Quietly poked his head out from behind Yue Tuo, and at that moment, Lan Xi'er felt that she really didn't need to breathe, and cold sweat spread throughout her body.

"It turned out to be it, I didn't expect there to be such a stunner in this forest." Although Yue Tuo's tone relaxed, the arm protecting Lan Xi'er's body tightened even more, and he leaned her out of his back and protected her inside. He didn't forget to say a sentence in his mouth: "You can see its bright eyes, it can be seen that the fog in this forest is non-toxic." ”

Lan Xi'er heard Yue Tuo's suddenly relaxed tone, she couldn't care about her fear, and couldn't help but stare at his back, should she relax at this time? It's a wolf. The wolf's eyes emitted a blue light, fierce and domineering, and the hunger in those eyes made Lan Xi'er feel that they were so small and deceitful.

Step by step, the wolf approached them, and finally stopped not far away, not making any sound, but it was certain that it had seen them. Yue Tuo also stared at the wolf deadly, without making any movements, they seemed to be looking at each other, weighing each other's strength.

In this way, the two forces are deadlocked.

Lan Xi'er felt that her brain was congested, and tried her best to think of a solution, but she couldn't run for half a minute, her body was stiff, and her mind was getting more and more dizzy, and suddenly the wolf moved, turned her head, as if she was retreating, and was ready to leave, Lan Xi'er's heart was surprised and happy, and while relaxing herself, she found that her eyes were empty, and Yue Tuo's whole person rushed out with lightning speed. At the same time, a sentence floated over:

"Hide yourself."

"Yue Tuo."

Lan Xi'er shouted in shock, and the wolf turned his head vigilantly, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he ran towards Yue Tuo. When a wolf was about to collide, he saw Yue Tuo's legs suddenly stretched out, one lying flat, and at the speed of running, he rushed directly to the bottom of the wolf, raised the dagger and stabbed into the wolf's body, the wolf was in pain, and it was a howl. The sound of birds in the woods rose everywhere, the whole forest was very terrifying, Lan Xi'er knew that he should hide himself at this time, but when he turned his head to look at Yue Tuo again, he saw that he had been pressed under the wolf, and he was about to bite Yue Tuo with a bloody mouth, Lan Xi'er hurriedly ran over, but saw Yue Tuo quickly raise the dagger, slashed across the air, took advantage of the gap where the wolf dodged, turned over, turned directly behind the wolf, turned around and pounced, and gave the wolf another knife to the hind legs. The wolf howled. Lan Xi'er was overjoyed in her heart, and finally relaxed a little.

It's just that soon, the atmosphere is tense again, and the wolf actually gave up attacking Yue Tuo, and his eyes were fixed on Lan Xi'er. Menacing ran towards Lan Xi'er.

Lan Xi'er's eyes widened, staring at the running body, her legs and feet were no longer obedient, her brain was stiff, but she didn't know how to dodge, seeing that the wolf was about to hit her, Yue Tuo suddenly pounced from the other direction, Lan Xi'er was knocked down and flew out. In a hurry, he couldn't care about his pain, stabilized his body and got up to find Yue Tuo's traces, only to see that he was pressed under him by the wolf again. Yue Tuo raised his hands and supported the wolf's body straight, trying to push the wolf away with all his might, but the wolf howled and intensified his strength, getting closer and closer to Yue Tuo's head.

"Yue Tuo."

Lan Xi'er cried, anxious. When she was at a loss, she caught a glimpse of a cold light shining in the moonlight, and when she looked closely, she realized that it was her dagger, so she hurriedly ran over and grabbed the dagger, and quickly ran to the battle circle between Yue Tuo and the wolf, stabilized her mind, held the dagger tightly, and repeatedly confirmed that it was the wolf's body, gritted her teeth fiercely, and stabbed at the wolf's body. The wolf suddenly wailed continuously, and the whole body stood up, Lan Xi'er was stunned, her eyes widened, and she lost the dagger in her hand, and the person just stood there, without any idea.

Yue Tuo seized the opportunity, stepped forward, jumped up and pulled out his dagger, and stabbed the wolf several times more fiercely. After a long time, the howling of wolves and birds in the forest finally disappeared.

"You...... Didn't I tell you to hide yourself?"

Yue Tuo looked at Lan Xi'er angrily. I was angry and scared. He weighed that with his own ability, he could deal with the wolf, but the wolf has always been cunning, if he let it go at that time, when it came back to sneak attack, he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of Lan Xi'er and not be able to protect her, so he let her hide it and deal with the wolf head-on.

shouted at her, and after a while, I saw that she was still standing stupidly. I couldn't bear it in my heart, sighed lightly, shook my head, and said softly: "It's okay, it's okay, if it's hurt, let me see." As he spoke, he dragged her in front of him and looked her up and down.

Yue Tuo's voice finally dragged Lan Xi'er's consciousness back, looked at Yue Tuo, and then looked at the wolf's corpse, shook his head tremblingly and said softly, "No, it's okay." ”

After collecting his attention, he breathed a sigh of relief, approached Yue Tuo for half a step, and asked nervously, "How are you, are you injured?" As he spoke, he raised Yue Tuo's arm and looked him up and down.

"How's your arm?"

I saw that the wound on his arm was already stained with blood. Frowning, he exclaimed:

"It's bleeding again." I was anxious and scared, my eyes were wet, and my hand was gently touching, but I didn't know what to do.

Seeing that she was worried about herself, Yue Tuo was moved in her heart, and said softly with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, this injury is not in the way, don't worry." ”

"What about elsewhere? Are there any other injuries on your body? ”

Lan Xi'er was uneasy and circled around Yue Tuo.

Yue Tuo chuckled and dragged her back to him, and said in a gentle voice, "It's okay, it's not hurt, it's really okay." ”

Yue Tuo's smile was warm and sincere, in the gloomy forest, Lan Xi'er's panic was alleviated, and the infected also laughed, which was the relief and happiness of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and when they looked at each other, the familiarity and trust of childhood seemed to have returned. The grievances and grievances of the past are no longer important in the face of life and death.

Lan Xi'er only felt a burst of heat on her face, lowered her head in a little panic, and suddenly saw the gem on the dagger shining, walked to the wolf's corpse, and wanted to pull out the dagger, but seeing its hideous and terrifying appearance, she didn't dare to pull out the dagger.

Yue Tuo chuckled, stopped beside Lan Xi'er, bent down, pulled out the dagger, wiped the blade on the wolf's body, wiped the bloodstains, put it in the scabbard, put it in his hand and looked at it, raised his eyes and looked at Lan Xi'er tenderly:

"You still have this dagger." I was a little panicked, but also a little happy.

Lan Xi'er was shocked, her face sank, she frowned, snatched back the dagger from Yue Tuo's hand, ignored him, turned around and left by herself.

Yue Tuo's face sank, sighed lightly, shook his head, and hurriedly ran over, took her hand, and walked in the other direction of the forest.

"Where are we going, where are we going?" Lan Xi'er felt inexplicably irritable, with a little anger, trying to shake off Yue Tuo's hand.

Yue Tuo's arm was suddenly dragged, there was a pain, he snorted, frowned, but his hand was held tighter, and he said lightly: "Go to the direction where the wolf came." ”

"The direction the wolf is coming from? Are we going to the wolf's den? ”

Lan Xi'er was obviously dissatisfied, but she was afraid of touching Yue Tuo's wounds, and when she saw him, she didn't let go, and she didn't dare to move again, so she had to let him lead her around.

"It's best to go sleep before dawn, and the wolf's den is a good choice."

Den? Isn't the wolf's den warm and comfortable! Although he complained in his heart, he didn't say anything more. Let him be. I can only follow him.

But fortunately, after walking for half an hour, I didn't encounter a wolf's den, but I met a stream, although the forest was still dark, but the sound of the water made the whole forest have an aura, Lan Xi'er approached the stream and sniffed, and the refreshing breath finally diluted the bloody smell that lingered in the nose a little.

Yue Tuo set up a bonfire, and the two of them leaned against a big tree, and neither of them spoke. There was a creaking sound and warmth in the bonfire, Lan Xi'er's consciousness became more and more blurred, and finally glanced at Yue Tuo not far away, and finally closed his eyes and fell asleep regardless of it.

The sun rises in the east, driving away the darkness and diluting the fog, and sprinkles the earth through the branches, and a fresh smell spreads through the forest, making a new day refreshing. Yesterday's horror, nervousness, and heart-wrenching finally faded in the fragrance of birds in the forest. The water of the creek sparkles in the sunlight and is very beautiful.

Lan Xi'er raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, then looked at the black clothes on her body, and subconsciously looked at the place where she last saw Yue Tuo last night. There was no one, and he was frightened, but he saw that the owner of the clothes was standing by the stream, holding a wooden fork in his hand, as if he was going to catch fish by the stream.

Seeing Yue Tuo's serious appearance, Lan Xi'er played, put down her clothes, tiptoed behind Yue Tuo, raised her hands and pushed Yue Tuo's back hard, and in an instant Yue Tuo's back seemed to have eyes, and suddenly on the side of her body, Lan Xi'er had already noticed that she was in the air, but her body was out of her control, and she secretly thought that it was not good, but she couldn't do anything, waiting for her miserable situation. Suddenly, his body stopped moving, and he didn't feel wet, and he found that he had been held in Yue Tuo's arms. But I saw him looking at himself with a smile. I was shocked in my heart, I was stupid. It's been a long time since I've seen this smile.

"You're awake."

Yue Tuo's eyes were full of tenderness, and his tone was surprisingly gentle, Lan Xi'er was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses, her face turned red, she pursed her lips, and finally avoided Yue Tuo's arms, stabilized her heart, which had been beating faster, exhaled lightly, took a few steps along the side of the stream, and glanced at the crystal clear water. Incredulous asked:

"Can there be fish in such a clear stream?"

"Who said I was catching fish? I just saw a water snake. Yue Tuo didn't care when he saw her dodging, he still had a smile on his face, and raised the wooden fork again after speaking.

Lan Xi'er looked at the crystal clear stream again, looked at Yue Tuo with a serious face, walked silently to Yue Tuo along the side of the stream, bent down and dialed the water, slowly raised his hand, and splashed at Yue Tuo with lightning speed.

Yue Tuo was caught off guard, obviously surprised, looked at Lan Xi'er, saw her smiling, and his heart warmed, but he was still expressionless and neither angry, but he didn't pay attention to her. Seeing that she was bored, Lan Xi'er glared at Yue Tuo, pursed her mouth, and turned around to walk back to the tree.

"Hey, you're leaving." Yue Tuo's faint voice looked at Lan Xi'er's back, but his smile became stronger and stronger.

Knowing that Yue Tuo wouldn't really be angry with her, he turned back disappreciatively.

"What? …… Yes...... You? ”

She was originally lazy, but in an instant, she was frightened by the things in Yue Tuo's hand, and the whole person became energetic.

But I saw that he was holding a green snake in his hand, swaggering in front of his eyes, and kept approaching. The green snake spat out the letter and stared at her, and Lan Xi'er felt a buzzing in her head. In a panic, he ran in the direction of the creek.

"Hahaha, what are you afraid of, you killed a wolf yesterday." Yue Tuo said, still refusing to give up approaching Lan Xi'er.

"Go away!" Lan Xi'er didn't care about anything else, and ran directly into the creek and poured water on Yue Tuo.

Yue Tuo saw her standing in the water, put the snake behind him with one hand, and dragged her back to his side with the other, and walked ashore.

"Alright, alright, the stream is so cold, don't go inside." Yue Tuo said, and hurriedly set up a bonfire.

Yue Tuo went to work alone, Lan Xi'er's heart finally calmed down, but the breeze blew, her heart trembled, and she couldn't help but feel excited.

"Ahh

"Come here, roast the fire, it's all wet." Yue Tuo also made a fire, but still held the snake in one hand.

"What are you still doing with the snake, you won't let it go." Lan Xi'er had walked a few steps, and when she saw the snake in Yue Tuo's hand, she stopped again.

"What's the matter with it, this is our breakfast, so it's like this today."

"What do you say, we're going to eat snakes?" Lan Xi'er's eyes widened and she looked at Yue Tuo in disbelief.

"My cousin Gege, look at this barren mountain and wilderness, it's already delicious in the world that we can have snake meat to eat."

Lan Xi'er shook her head, unconsciously took a few steps back, and looked at the huge forest.

"Give me your dagger." Yue Tuo looked at her tense appearance and smiled lightly.

Lan Xi'er saw Yue Tuo's smile at this moment, and her heart was irritated for no reason, so she raised her hand and threw the dagger directly to him.

"This dagger is blessed, yesterday it was fed with wolf blood, and today it is drunk with snake blood." Yue Tuo said, while raising the knife in his hand, the snake has been divided into two sections.

There was a smell of blood, and Lan Xi'er, who was already sitting by the bonfire, moved her body out again.

Yue Tuo saw that she could bake the fire, and his heart was relieved. Skillfully remove the snake's skin, cut the snake into several sections, skewer it with the thin branches it found, and lift it to the campfire and roast it. Soon, the smell of cooked food wafted up, and Lan Xi'er unconsciously turned her head to look at the snake string in Yue Tuo's hand.

"Wait a little longer, you will be able to eat soon." The light breeze on Yue Tuo's face made Lan Xi'er frown again.

"No need. I'm not hungry. ”

"Not hungry? How can you not be hungry, yesterday it was another wolf and a runaway. Yue Tuo was originally roasting snake meat, but suddenly looked at Lan Xi'er with a surprised face and a serious face.

"Oh, I know, does Xi'er like to eat wolf meat, this is easy, that wolf should still be there, when I finish roasting this, I'll go get you some." That wolf meat is enough for us to eat for a few days. Yue Tuo sniffed the meat skewers as he spoke.

"No need, no need, wolf meat and snake meat cousin, you better enjoy it yourself." Lan Xi'er hurriedly waved her hand at Yue Tuo.

"Xi'er, if you don't eat or drink, you won't even be able to run out of this forest." Yue Tuo suddenly looked at Lan Xi'er with a serious expression.

This sentence was said by Yue Tuo to the point, the key is that she escaped, and there was no direction where she could escape. Lan Xi'er's face sank, and she looked at the bonfire quietly. It's just that when Yue Tuo handed over the snake meat, she had already unconsciously received it in her hand, raised it to her mouth and sniffed, feeling that the taste was acceptable, and looked at Yue Tuo again, and saw that he had almost finished eating a bunch, and finally took a bite, and then swallowed it quickly.

"Actually, even if you get out of the woods, where can you go?" Lan Xi'er looked at the snake string, but her eyes were stupidly staring.

"You can go wherever you want."

The firmness in Yue Tuo's eyes made Lan Xi'er feel a wave of warmth and some expectations in her heart. Looking at him, his heart was a little flustered, but soon the charm in his eyes disappeared again, and the corners of his mouth smiled bitterly, avoiding his eyes.

Yue Tuo also knew that he was reckless, and stabilized his emotions. also smiled faintly.

"Well, it's not bad, eat more, it's still there." As he spoke, he really handed over another string.

Seeing her hesitation. chuckled: "Actually, I won't sue you that this is snake meat, you can eat it as chicken." You should be the Han people's mountain chicken, and the difference between it and ours is it. ”

"You can't tell it, I'll just have a bunch, cousin can keep it for himself." Lan Xi'er pursed her lips and glared at Yue Tuo. I didn't want to, but I gently took another bite of the meat skewer in my hand.

"Did you eat pheasant and rabbit?"

"What rabbit meat, pheasant?"

"No, nothing."

"Yue Tuo."

Lan Xi'er stood up and looked at Yue Tuo with a sudden realization, on the way to get married, she was coaxed by Su Ya to eat wild mountain chicken for several days, although she also doubted it, but Su Ya was determined, and she didn't want to question it anymore.

"Yue Tuo, you ......" Lan Xi'er said as she raised her hand and threw the meat skewer in her hand at Yue Tuo.

"Look at it, if you eat some meat, you will have the strength to lose your temper." Yue Tuo dodged the meat skewers slightly, but there was a smile on his face.

Looking at his smile, Lan Xi'er became even more angry, picked up another branch casually, walked towards Yue Tuo, suddenly stumbled under his feet, and was about to come into close contact with the bonfire, an arm was strong and protected himself in time, and a warm embrace replaced the raging fire.

"Be careful." Seeing her standing firmly, Yue Tuo hurriedly let go of her and shook his arm.

"It looks like my arm is going to be ruined." Yue Tuo glanced at Lan Xi'er, but his tone was soft.

Lan Xi'er's face was full of apologies, and he hurriedly raised his arm to look left and right.

"How's that, isn't it bleeding again?"

Fortunately, there was no bleeding, put his mind at ease, glanced at it, but saw something at Yue Tuo's feet, raised his eyes and looked at Yue Tuo, and saw that his face was sunk, Lan Xi'er bent down and picked it up and put it in his hand to look at it, Yun looked at Yue Tuo lightly and asked softly:

"This ...... Is this a flare?"
