The night was as quiet as water, and the river was flowing under the boat, and the boat shook gently, like the cradle of the mother in childhood. Li Kuan sat in the middle of the boat, the bonfire on the shore had been extinguished, leaving only the sparks scattered like fireflies hiding in the grass on a summer night. In the depths of the green hills on both sides, the sound of ape cries came, making the night even deeper. A crescent moon on the horizon, like a longbow, hanging obliquely in the sky, at this time is the last quarter moon, the curved moon is like a longbow, a sickle, a leaf willow eyebrows. The faint moonlight shone on the earth, and on the ground, on the leaves of the plants and trees, pearl-like dewdrops rolled crystallially.

On the edge of the river. A small painting boat, about three zhang long, no more than one zhang wide, in the cabin of the painting boat red sleeves have been asleep, the cabin is not big, two small soft couches are arranged in the cabin. On the damp river, in the deep darkness of the night, she slept unsteadily, and her pretty face showed a hint of haggardness. The willow-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, with a sickly beauty. Xiao Tianxiang was also dozing off on the side, her little hand supporting her little chin with a little baby fat, nodding her head for a while, her originally big eyes were squinted into a slit at this time. But the owner of these eyes tried hard to keep it open, it should be that the master has not slept yet, how can he sleep first.

Li Kuan couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw the serious little girl. This occasionally naughty but most of the time sensible little girl, Li Kuan really doesn't know what to say.

"Xiao Tianxiang, go to sleep first! Master, I still have a lot to think about! Li Kuan commanded softly.

"Master, don't you want Tianxiang to serve?" The little girl stretched out her little hand. Rubbing her confused eyes, she looked at Li Kuan and asked, she was very sleepy. I wanted to sleep very much, but I didn't dare to sleep, firstly because Li Kuan hadn't slept yet, she felt that she couldn't sleep first, and secondly, because she was a little scared and didn't dare to sleep. The sound of an ape's cry, like the roar of a demon, made her feel an inexplicable fear.

"You're going to sleep!" Li Kuan stretched out his hand and rubbed her little head.

"Oh!" The little girl stood up. But because he had been kneeling for too long, his legs were numb, and he stood up all of a sudden. was already unstable, and the boat was still swaying slightly, the little girl's body center of gravity was not grasped properly, and she fell down all of a sudden.

"Ah......h There was a flustered look on his face.

Li Kuan's eyes are quick. suddenly threw herself forward, and her long arm suddenly pulled the little girl and saved Xiao Tianxiang, who almost fell. It's just that the two of them sat opposite each other before, and Li Kuan threw himself directly on the table, and threw the oil lamp in the middle of the table on the table, and the lamp oil in the lamp spilled out at once, flowing all over the table. The brocade robe on Li Kuan's body was also stained, and the dots of lamp oil were smudged on the sky-blue robe. And the wick, which was still burning tenaciously, suddenly ignited the lamp oil on the table. All at once it was on fire.

"Master, I'm sorry!" Xiao Tianxiang panicked all of a sudden, and her little hand was about to reach out to wipe the lamp oil on the table, but she was pulled by Li Kuan: "You girl, don't you want to die?" "If you touch the lamp oil that is still burning, it will definitely get on your hands, and I don't know what the consequences will be.

"Water, water......" Xiao Tianxiang was at a loss for what to do, and subconsciously thought of water. But when the oil catches fire, it can be poured with water.

"Alright, don't make a mess, you just stand!" Li Kuan was a little speechless, why was this girl so confused, took off the long shirt on her body, and the lamp oil on it was also lit, and then quickly covered the table, and wiped off a lot of the lamp oil burning on the table, and extinguished the fire on the table. With the burning shirt in his hand, he walked straight out of the cabin, and threw the valuable shirt directly off the boat and into the surging river.

The lights went out, the cabin fell into darkness, and Xiao Tianxiang suddenly felt a horror spread, enveloping her. Obediently stood in place, not daring to move at all. It's like a bloodthirsty snake in the shadows that has been eyeing her, and the slightest movement will cause the snake to attack. Coupled with the roar of the ape, which became even more terrifying because of the night, the little girl was stunned for a while.

Li Kuan turned back to the cabin, and by the slight light of the day, he saw Xiao Tianxiang standing in the center of the cabin, and couldn't help but step forward and gently hugged the little girl's little shoulder: "Go to sleep obediently, you will be fine tomorrow!" ”

"Master, the slave wants to sleep with the master tonight!" Xiao Tianxiang whispered.

"What?" Li Kuan was a little surprised, what kind of consciousness is this girl? Don't...... Li Kuan didn't dare to imagine, although he knew that this little girl's feelings for him in her heart were not pure loyalty, and there was a little secret promise, but how old she was now, even if she was precocious, it was impossible to think of these things. Li Kuan, a guy with a super big mental age who traveled through later generations, is obviously not pure.

"Master, slave afraid!" Tianxiang said embarrassedly. Red Sleeves was uncomfortable, so it was originally planned that the two of them would sleep together, but now it seems that they can't get warmth from Red Sleeves, so Xiao Tianxiang, who was scared, had to shyly ask for help from his master, Li Kuan.

"Afraid?" Li Kuan was a little puzzled, although when he went to chop wood before, this little girl seemed to be very strange, but it didn't come to this point, right?

"Well, that strange scream outside, it's terrible, what kind of monster is making a terrible sound? Is it a monster, will it eat people? Xiao Tianxiang rubbed her little body into Li Kuan's arms, leaned her little head against his chest, and muttered. Although the little face could not be seen in the dark, Li Kuan could also imagine the frightened expression on the pretty face now.

"This ......" Li Kuan secretly regretted in his heart, he really shouldn't have told too much about the story of Journey to the West, this would not be a disaster for Xiao Tianxiang, and the ape's calling voice was regarded by her as a man-eating monster.

"That's a monkey calling, not a youkai!" Li Kuan explained.

"Is it Monkey King? Will he use a golden rod to beat a slave? Xiao Tianxiang's little face rubbed the master's chest, like a kitten lying in the master's arms.

"Haha......" Li Kuan smiled a little heartily, this little girl is really cute. Those are ordinary monkeys, there is no Monkey King! The Monkey King is a story, not a story. ”

"But the slave is still afraid!" Tianxiang, whether she is sensible or a teenage girl, ran out with Li Kuan this time and went south by boat, it was the first time in this unfamiliar environment, and the first time she heard this poignant voice, it was indeed inevitable that there would be this kind of feeling.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a monkey summoning companions, they are like the master asking Tianxiang to do things, they have no other meaning, and they won't come to eat Tianxiang." Li Kuan continued to comfort this weak little girl, Li Kuan had deep pity in his heart. He never thought that Tianxiang would be so sensitive, and he always felt that this was a strong little girl.

"Well, but Sister Red Sleeves is uncomfortable, Tianxiang is not like squeezing with her, let Sister Red Sleeves sleep alone, then she will be more comfortable." The little girl still didn't give up the idea of sleeping with Li Kuan. And the reason given this time was very sufficient, which made Li Kuan fall into a dilemma for a while.

"Okay, you will sleep with the master tonight!" Li Kuan thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, master!" The little girl was happy.

"However, before going to bed, the master has one more thing to do." Listening to the sound outside the boat, Li Kuan's brows furrowed slightly, and then he said.

"What's the matter? Master! Tianxiang broke free from Li Kuan's arms, raised her head and asked.

"You come with me!" Li Kuan pulled his little maid, walked out of the cabin, jumped off the boat, and headed to the shore.

"Master, are you trying to untie the ship? Then we will drift far downstream that night. Tenka held the fire fold in her hand, illuminating a small area around her. Looking at what Li Kuan was doing, he couldn't help but ask.

"No, just put the boat farther away and don't lean against the shore, or I'm afraid some animals and beasts will run to the boat at night." Li Kuan explained, releasing the reins tied to the bush. Under the action of the flow of the river, the boat slowly slid towards the center of the river.

Li Kuan tied the rope, and when he turned to look at the boat again, he found that the boat had slipped out a long way.

"Not good!" Li Kuan exclaimed, then suddenly started, copied Tianxiang, who was standing on the side and looked at him, hugged her horizontally and ran in the direction of the boat.

The little girl exclaimed, and the fire fold in her hand almost fell, but fortunately she grasped it relatively firmly, although it swayed, it did not fall in the end. The little hand grabbed the fire fold with one hand, and the other hand wrapped around Li Kuan's neck, and the head rested on his shoulder, listening to the whirring wind in his ears, a sweet smile flashed on his little face after a flash of panic.

"Hold on!" Li Kuan said in the little girl's ear, and then felt a lot more strength in her neck.

Running to the river, the painting boat has floated out no more than a zhang away, and the width of the shore is about one zhang and two zhang, and the surging river water is surging endlessly.

Li Kuan, who was straight, did not pause at all, rushed straight over, and then jumped up, this time like a Pegasus soaring into the air, and like an impala fit between the forests. But more often than not, it is like a vigorous ape, holding a person, and just soaring into the air, alternating its feet in the air back and forth, as if it were just on an invisible staircase.

The body was raised higher and higher, and quickly chased after the small boat that was already offshore. The leap was nearly one foot two feet long and nearly six feet high. Like a small boat chased over, and then with a bang, it landed straight on the deck of the boat, but at this time, Xiao Tianxiang had not reacted, and looked at the night behind him in a daze, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.
