Volume 1 Origin Chapter 392 The Best Choice
The lonely evening breeze blows through a deserted forest, and the trees that follow the law of growth are chaotic and dense, and piles of dead leaves are buried in the snow, and only when you step on them, you can feel their quiet presence.
The curtain of darkness has been opened, and the whole heaven and earth are tightly sealed, and in the boundless darkness, everything sleeps.
But suddenly, a faint light of fire swayed, slowly stabilized, and then burned more and more, until the whole hole was finally illuminated red, and the shadows of the branches of the trees that were danced by the wind outside overlapped in the firelight, like a phantom walking at night, weird and grotesque.
In the cave, Rong Ruo looked down at the ten fingers that wore out the skin of his fingers, and sighed in his heart, it turned out that it was really not easy to drill wood to make fire.
When the fire was born, she piled up the dry branches she had picked up in advance to make the fire more stable, and then took off her coat and used a wooden stick against it against the stone wall to bake.
Rong Ruo felt that she had dragged Mu Beichen here from the edge of the cold pool, and she had used up her desolate power, and she collapsed at the moment, and she didn't want to move, but if she didn't move, she could only sleep in wet clothes.
When she took off only the most intimate underwear, she glanced at Mu Beichen, who was lying on the ground with her eyes closed, and after thinking about it for a while, she squatted over and undressed him again, which was much more difficult than undressing herself.
It took a lot of effort, and he looked at Mu Beichen who was wearing obscene clothes and pants on the ground with satisfaction, and thought bitterly, at this time, this man can be at her mercy.
Rong Ruo rested against the stone wall, and occasionally threw a log into the fire, which could not only dispel the cold, but more importantly, she would not have to worry about foraging beasts coming over at all times.
People are good at working with the light, and once they stay in the dark for a long time, they will have a strong panic.
Tired to the extreme, or there is no sleepiness, Rong Ruo is in this situation, she remembered the situation of checking Mu Beichen's pulse by the waterhole, and her brows furrowed involuntarily.
It turned out that Mu Beichen fainted because of the sudden onset of poison in his body. Maybe he had a seizure when he fell from above, and using his internal force to scoop himself up from the water undoubtedly accelerated the reaction of the poison in his body, but he still chose to save people.
Rong Ruo turned his head sideways and looked at Mu Beichen by the light of the fire, his cold face was alienated in his sleep, like the ice that covered his face all year round could not melt even if it was a hot fire, but those cold eyes could not be seen, and the indifference of his whole body was a little less.
Rong Ruo remembered that Mu Beichen often used his indifferent look and thin lips to spit out the most merciless sarcasm, especially for her, he was not convinced, and poked Mu Beichen's face with the wooden stick in his hand, telling him to sneer again!
This moves, Rong Ruo can't stop, moves his body and leans over, lowers his head and looks at it without any pressure, this man is undoubtedly graceful and noble when he is awake, Tsinghua is gorgeous, cold from the inside out, and even makes people wonder if he has no heart, but when he falls asleep, he is still that restrained and extravagant, under the rendering of the firelight, he is sprinkled with emotion.
Maybe some people are born to be kings on the top, Rong Ruo poked his eyebrows with his fingers, hooked his lips and smiled, if he will always be so docile like a rabbit...... It seems that she can't stand it either.
"What a contradictory person......" Rong Ruo's low sigh turned invisible in the crackling sound of sparks, she sat back, her hands on her knees, her chin pressed on her arm, thinking to herself, I don't know if this sentence was said to herself, or Mu Beichen.
In the second half of the night, the clothes were finally dried, and Rong Ruo also felt sleepy, she got dressed first, and didn't want to spend any more effort to help Mu Beichen dress, so she simply covered his robe directly on her body.
When she was ready to straighten her waist, Mu Beichen suddenly grabbed Rong Ruo's wrist, Rong Ruo thought he was awake, and shouted twice, but saw that he was still in a deep sleep, and couldn't help but shake his head, this person is in the late stage of persecution paranoia, that is, the body is in a coma with conditioned reflexes.
Rong Ruo was going to pull it out of his hand, but he didn't want to be too tight, and he couldn't move at all, "Forget it, let's just make up for one night tonight." When he was thinking about it, as soon as he lay down, he heard Mu Beichen shouting something, and Rong Ruo leaned over: "Huh? What did you say? ”
"No, I'm going to go......" After several times, Rong Ruo finally heard Mu Beichen's whispering clearly, and looked at Mu Beichen very solemnly and said, "It can't be that you miss your mother, right?" "It is said that when people are hit hard or seriously injured, they seek refuge from their mothers.
Especially Rong Ruo remembered the painting of Mu Beichen's mansion, a melancholy and beautiful woman, and also had a very nice title - Yunman, she thought, a portrait can be so haunting, if Mu Beichen's biological mother is still alive, she must be the best-looking person she has ever seen in her life.
Rong Ruo put a hand behind his head, thinking with interest, if Mu Beichen shouted, "Don't go, mother." That's really dramatic, enough to make her laugh at him for a whole year, look, don't pretend to be forced all day long, it's not a shouting mother when you're injured, it's not much different from a milk doll that hasn't been weaned. 29GG
"Don't, don't go......" Rong Ruo turned her head sideways and lay down, waiting for the two words of the mother, but unexpectedly, the two words that came out of Mu Beichen's mouth made her really stunned for a long time-
He said, "Don't go...... Rongruo. ”
The next day, the snow that had begun in the second half of the night had not stopped until dawn, making the world under the cliff even quieter, and listening to the tranquility of the snow falling.
Rong Ruo ran outside in the snow, and when she came back, the whole person was covered with snow, shaking off a lot at the door of the cave, patting the snowflakes on the top of her hair, and when she walked in, she accidentally faced a pair of cold eyes, and somehow, last night's words suddenly exploded from her mind, making her heart skip a beat, "Are you awake?" Eyes away from each other, he walked to the fire and spilled what he was carrying on the ground.
In addition to some herbs that can be picked nearby, there are also a few wild fruits and a nest of bird eggs, and I could have caught a few birds, but I am afraid that it will be delayed for a long time, if some animals break into the cave, Mu Beichen has not woken up yet, it will be very dangerous.
Mu Beichen's clothes were already worn, his face was still a little weak, he sat next to the stone wall, watching Rong Ruo clean up the herbs first, then deal with the wild fruits, and finally put the bird's eggs in the fire to roast.
Rong Ruo handed a fruit washed with snow water to Mu Beichen, and seeing that the other party didn't take it immediately, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Why, Lord Wang, you always dislike it if it's not clean, this kind of place is almost good to drink urine, it's good to have something to eat." ”
Mu Beichen glanced at her lightly with cold eyes, took it silently, and when Rong Ruo took two mouthfuls of the fruit and was chewing, he suddenly spoke: "You took off my clothes last night?" ”
"Poof-" Rong Ruo didn't prepare for him to have a hot topic as soon as he spoke, and glared at Mu Beichen with hatred in his heart, wondering if he did it on purpose, "Lord Wang, don't worry, it's not me who covets your body, are you willing to sleep in wet clothes?" ”
Mu Beichen took a bite of the fruit elegantly, raised his eyes and said, "Yes." ”
"Uh......" Rong Ruo rolled her eyes, what else could she say, "It's good if you're happy." ”
After eating something, Rong Ruo crushed the processed herbs into juice and fed it to Mu Beichen, and diagnosed him again, "Why does the poison in your body attack early?" ”
Mu Beichen straightened his sleeves, lowered his eyelids, and said without raising his head: "I was injured once in the palace before. ”
Rong Ruo thought about it for a while, and knew which time it was, it was she who heard Mu Beichen coughing, and then Mu Beichen mocked her that cheap night, it turned out that he was ...... because he was injured
"Why didn't you tell me?" Rong Ruo didn't care about that for the time being, and said seriously with a twisted eyebrow.
Mu Beichen leaned back, bent his knees, and his elbows naturally hung down, even if the robe on his body was stained with a lot of dust, it still couldn't hide his natural elegance and nobility, "It's fine, but yesterday I encountered poisonous powder, which made the poisonous hair." ”
Rong Ruo's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at his side face with burning eyes, "Why did you jump down?" At that time, although it was chaotic, Rong Ruo knew, but if Mu Beichen was willing, he could throw her off and go up, and even the two of them didn't have to fall off the cliff together.
In particular, Rong Ruo still remembered that on the way to the cliff, Mu Beichen also pulled Rong Ruo to change his position slightly, so that they could just fall into the pool, at least there was no danger to their lives.
"You know there's a waterhole under the cliff, and we're not going to die, are we?" This thought turned in her mind all night, of course this idea was crazy, because Mu Beichen had no reason to come down and suffer in vain, but when she saw that Mu Beichen woke up, as if she took all this for granted, this thought in Rong Ruo's heart couldn't help but pop up again.
"Because it's the best option." Mu Beichen's eyelids opened upwards, the fire in the cave was not extinguished, it was still burning with scorching firelight, the light of the fire made his dark eyes particularly deep and quiet, the cluster of light under his eyes jumped, and his eyebrows crossed a sharp cold tone, "I need a reason to leave the capital." ”
Rong Ruo subconsciously asked, "Why?" "After going through it in my heart, now the situation in the capital is obvious, after the events of Chinese New Year's Eve, King Duan retook charge of the 100,000 forbidden army, and also got the chip to confront the prince, and the prince's side, although it seems to be rejected by the emperor, but in the end, the emperor has never issued an edict to abolish the prince, as King Duan's ambition grows, the prince firmly occupies the position of the prince, and whoever is the king of Duan, I am afraid they will not be convinced.
Thinking of this, Rong Ruo's heart moved, and he couldn't help but say: "Are you saying that there is bound to be a big dispute between the crown prince and King Duan, and then you don't want to be involved in the period?" ”
Mu Beichen's dark eyes didn't show any emotion, his fingers on his knees tapped lightly twice, his gaze turned to the outside of the cave, and said, "This is one of them." ”
