Chapter 43: Calm?
The fiery red sun gradually sank in the west, and the sun gradually changed from golden yellow to orange yellow, dyed in the sea of grass, and from time to time there were birds chirping and singing in the woods.
In the vast grassland, outside the door of a small wooden house, three young men were evenly distributed and working hard, a woman was weaving something, a man was cutting bamboo, and another was digging a dirt pit.
Ye Yan first cut off the bamboo section by section, and used a dagger to cut out a sharp shape at one end, but he was accidentally lightly scratched by the spike.
Ye Yan's index finger appeared in an instant, the blood flowed, Ye Yan found out, put his index finger in his mouth and sucked it, blew it gently, and didn't tell Wang Xiaoying and Wang Lou, Ye Yan was afraid that they would worry, it was not a big deal, so he hid it in his hand.
This small accident highlighted how sharp the bamboo thorns Ye Yan was cutting, Ye Yan nodded himself with satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise.
Wang Xiaoying didn't notice Ye Yan's abnormality, but just wrapped it in bamboo skin skillfully and weaved the sharp bamboo thorns that Ye Yan had sharpened.
Wang Lou was also panting and digging out potholes one after another, and the small pit could accommodate half a person.
Gradually, the moon took the place of the sun, and it was another gloomy night, and although the nights were cooler and not as dry than the day, they were full of dangers.
On the dangerous grassland, the three of them did not slack off, weaving bamboo thorns together, putting them into the small soil pits, and then covering them with simple branches, leaves, and grass.
Ye Yan straightened up, moved his muscles and bones, sighed slightly, and said.
"That's it, alright, let's eat. ”
Inside the house, there was a happy scene, as if a family was eating dinner and chatting together, and there was a touch of warmth in this cruel rule.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, where is your home?
Ye Yan put down the earthen bowl in his hand and asked.
"Maple Grove Valley. ”
Wang Xiaoying and Wang Lou said in unison, the two glanced at each other and smiled lightly.
Ye Yan is still short-sighted, and he probably only knows that he has a very famous family in the nameless town, but he has no power at all in Suzhou City, which he just met.
Ye Yan recalled the days when he was quite carefree in the family, even if Ye Miao argued with him, he didn't feel lonely.
However, Ye Yan has a new goal to strengthen his family, but curing Ye Qing in front of him is more important than anything else, and the matter of his father and mother is on the agenda.
Seeing Ye Yan in a daze, Wang Lou pinched Ye Yan's shoulder and shook it, and shouted in Ye Yan's ear.
"Brother Ye Yan!"
Ye Yan was frightened, his body trembled slightly, and he detached from his thoughts to reality.
"What's wrong with you?"
Wang Xiaoying asked.
Ye Yan shook his head, touched the jade pendant he was hiding on his waist, and asked tentatively.
"You know there's a gang whose first word is streaming? or people. ”
Wang Lou rolled his eyes, thought about it, snapped his fingers, smiled slightly, and replied.
"I know!"
"What?"
"I think it's the Flowing Cloud Sect, but if it's a human name, it's too much. ”
Ye Yan held his chin with his fist and fell into deep thought: ...... Isn't there a horizontal stream on top of the clouds?
Ye Yan thought to himself: Nine times out of ten, it is this Liuyun Sect, but what is the Maple Forest Valley where the two sisters and brothers are in front of him, alas!
Ye Yan sighed, drank the remaining bowl of soup, rubbed his stomach, and sat on the bed.
But after a while, Ye Yan felt that something was wrong, and said in a slightly calm voice.
"Why didn't we move tonight? Didn't we use any of our traps? Or ......?"
After saying that, Ye Yan hurriedly got out of bed, came to the wooden fence door, slowly poked his head out, and looked left and right for a while.
Ye Yan found that the silence around him was a little terrifying, and he could only faintly hear the sound of the breeze blowing in his ears and the sound of his own breathing slowly, and there was no big movement.
Ye Yan felt a little strange, why there was no movement at all, although it was a good thing that there was no movement, but this silence was terrifying, which made Ye Yan a little frightened, and he always had a bad premonition.
Wang Lou's curiosity drove Wang Lou to take a look, and a trace of worry appeared on Wang Lou's face, and he looked at Ye Yan for a while.
Wang Xiaoying's eyes watched Wang Lou and Ye Yan's every move, felt a little surprised, and asked.
"What's wrong? Isn't it a good thing that there's no movement? ”
Ye Yan looked at Wang Xiaoying complainingly, put his index finger in front of his mouth, and made a small gesture to close his mouth.
In the dark sky, the dark clouds beside the moon carried some red clouds, gradually overshadowing the moon, and then, the moon seemed to be dyed, turning blood red.
Wang Xiaoying immediately shut up, and also felt that something was not good, and this strange scene was the first time she had seen it.
Ye Yan closed his eyes and listened carefully to the sound of sesame dots, the leaves of the forest in the distance slowly fell, and when he looked back, a black shadow suddenly flashed!
Wang Xiaoying was taken aback, and she collapsed directly on the ground, this kind of reaction was unexpected by Ye Yan.
The three-day interaction made Ye Yan's view of Wang Xiaoying feel strange every day, sometimes serious, perhaps because of the responsibility of a sister, but sometimes timid, but the nature is kind, and when Ye Yan first met Wang Xiaoying, Ye Yan at least understood that this person was kind-hearted.
At this point, Ye Yan appreciated Jin Xin's character of daring, brave, and not afraid of strong enemies, Ye Yan shook his head helplessly, helped Wang Xiaoying up, and stared around.
Outside the wooden house, several dark shadows seemed to surround the small wooden house, and the figures flickered, and several black shadows disappeared outside the house.
Ye Yan took out a dagger from his waist just in case, gently bypassed his bamboo thorn trap, and stepped out of the wooden house.
Ye Yan always went out and found that there was no movement outside, and the black shadow disappeared, there was no trace at all, and seeing that there was no danger, he made a gesture to signal Wang Lou to come out.
Wang Lou understood, nodded, and also took out the dagger from the table, and from outside the house, the breeze came slowly, blowing Ye Yan's bangs.
Ye Yan was surprised to find that this time the wind was even more rapid than when he had just poked his head out, and there was some strange smell.
Ye Yan hurriedly pulled over the Wang Lou and hid in the house together, Ye Yan really couldn't understand a little, his trap had no effect on those black shadows, he thought carefully about the reason, and came to a result, the black image was a human, not an animal's shadow, so he didn't fall for it.
"Squeak~"
Suddenly, the wooden fence collided with the wooden house, making a crunchy sound, and Ye Yan shouted.
"Be careful!
