Chapter 6: A Pot of Jianghu Wine (5)

The darkness in front of him gradually faded, and consciousness slowly returned, and Liu Xuan let out a groan of pain from his throat in the blur.

Just instinctively moving his body brought a sharp tearing pain.

When he opened his eyes, Liu Xuan found that the sky was already bright, and the early morning sunlight shone on his face through the canopy of the trees.

Why did you fall to the ground? Why does my whole body hurt so much?

The memory in his mind was still very vague, and Liu Xuan took two breaths of breath in a groggy manner and began to recall.

I just remember yesterday...... I thought I could walk to Chungling, but the footsteps of the two of them were too slow, so they could only sleep in the woods for one night.

Then, it seemed that he was going to the woods to find food, and asked Ah Xiu to wait here obediently.

What was found? There seem to be two birds...... A nest of birds' eggs...... And also...... A rabbit?

That's right, that's it. After finding the food, he went back to find Ah Xiu...... And then......

Liu Xuan's heart beat violently.

In a blur, he recalled the scene he didn't want to recall last night.

Ah Xiu !!

He hurriedly rolled over in one breath and looked to the side in a panic.

Fang Cai's action made Liu Xuan's whole body feel an almost unbearable pain.

What came into view was the small body of Liu Xiu lying on the ground beside him, his eyes were closed, and his face was calm.

"Ah Xiu! Ah Xiu!? ”

Liu Xiu didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly crawled to the ground, screaming and hugging Liu Xiu's body tightly.

"Brother......

Liu Xiu slowly opened her eyes and looked blankly at her brother who was almost in front of her face.

Liu Xuan's eyes widened, he froze in place, and then frantically pulled his brother's head open and looked at his neck.

There, amazingly-

Three bars appear on it.

This horizontal strip seems to be revealed from the skin, and under closer inspection, it seems that there are ancient runes circulating in it, like a fetal mark but not like a fetal mark, Liu Jiu even felt a sublime intention attack.

He reached out and touched it, but it was so clean that he couldn't see even half of the scar.

And the tooth marks left by the poisonous snake last night have disappeared without a trace at this moment.

He remembered that his younger brother had no fetal marks since he was a child!

Liu Jiu shook his head and blinked hard, but the picture in front of him remained the same. The younger brother was looking at himself strangely with his dark eyes open.

"Ah Xiu...... You...... You're not dead? ”

Liu Xuan withdrew his leaned body, sat on the ground and asked blankly, but only received a puzzled look from his younger brother.

"Huh?" Liu Xiu shook his head inexplicably, stretched out his little arm and waved it twice: "No...... Brother, Ah Xiu is still so hungry......"

Liu Xuan looked around, dozens of steps away, the bird's nest and hare he found last night were still in place.

"Hmm...... Brother, I'll give Ah Xiu a barbecue to eat! ”

Liu Xiu pinched his thigh twice to confirm that he was not dreaming, and then he stood up and went to collect branches to light a fire and wash and peel rabbit meat.

Maybe...... The last memories of last night, those about snakes...... It's just a dream, or a hallucination.

Not to mention being bitten by the mountain wind, there is absolutely no cure. Even those two tooth marks could not have disappeared after just one night.

But those three marks. and was struck by a lightning strike......

Liu Xuan turned the hare and wild birds on the fire half a circle, and while carefully moving the eggs a little farther away, he lowered his head and looked at his body carefully.

There was no trace of burns, except for the pain that remained on his body, and he couldn't even tell that he had been hit by a thunderbolt.

Not to mention, the younger brother, who was putting his head on his knees and looking at the rabbit meat with expectant eyes, saliva was running down the corners of his mouth, and he didn't bother to wipe it. It looked like he had just had a good night's sleep.

"Ah Xiu, does it hurt in your body?"

The two wild birds were already at the end of the fire, dripping with grease and emitting a charming aroma. Liu Jiu handed it to his younger brother with the branch and asked with concern.

"It doesn't hurt!" Liu Xiu shook his head while hurriedly bringing a roast bird to his mouth. Even though he didn't even have salt, he still ate with a mouthful of oil.

"Eat slowly, be careful of scalding." Liu Xuan reached out and touched his brother's head, looking at his wolfing appearance, his heart gradually relaxed.

It seems that last night ...... It's really just a nightmare, what are the three marks that appear out of thin air, and the most important thing is that my brother is okay.

When the hare was also roasted, and the two of them ate cleanly, Liu Xiu lay on the ground on his back and screamed loudly.

"Let's go, Ah Xiu, I'm going to Chungling today."

Making a fire and grilling meat, Liu Jiu stretched out his hand, took his brother's hand, and tried to drag him up.

"Lie down a little longer, ...... a little more"

Liu Xiu shook her head and shouted coquettishly, her eyes were gradually closing again.

Sighing, Liu Xuan simply leaned down helplessly, picked up his younger brother again, carried him on his back, and walked towards the outside of the forest.

Last night's dream, although it was not true, still made him feel a little more distressed for his younger brother.

As soon as he picked up his younger brother and walked two steps, Liu Xuan's feet were hit by a stone.

It was supposed to be an ordinary thing, but his heart suddenly moved, and he turned his head to look at his feet.

Among the grass, under his footprints, there was a severed snake head.

The shape is peculiar, from the skull downwards, suddenly enlarged but flattened.

That's a ...... Over the head of the mountain wind.

Liu Jiu stood in place stunned, his eyes no longer missing the snake head.

On his back, there was a sudden shiver and chill.
