Volume IV Settled Steppe

She crouched down, poked his arm with a finger, and asked softly, "Hey, are you still alive?" ”

The child didn't move, and Taixia sighed, stroked her skirt, sat next to him, and said to herself, "Do you know where this is?" I didn't know what was going on, and as soon as I woke up and got here, I was a little dazed. ”

The child next to him didn't move, but fortunately, Taixia didn't care much about his answer, and said to himself: "It seems that Sikong Yang saved me, but where did he go?" I said I didn't want to live anymore, why save me, anyway, I never got real freedom, and when I die, I'm really free, he doesn't understand me, alas. ”

The little boy's hand fell, but Taixia didn't see it, she sighed again, lowered her head and smoothed the hem of her skirt, there were stains and blood stains on it, indicating what she had just experienced, but was it really just now?

Tantai Xia looked up at the sky and looked at the sun, it was about noon now, about the time to take a nap after eating, but it was obviously evening before her, did she sleep all night?

No, she slept naked all night, she should have had a fever and headache, how could she not feel anything, and she raised her right hand and looked at her wrist.

The redness and swelling from the boiling water were gone, and this was not the most surprising to her, and her ankles were healed.

Tan Taixia didn't realize this matter for a while after taking two steps just now, but now that he thinks about the problem of time, he feels that something is wrong with him.

"It's over, what the hell is going on? How do I feel like something uncontrollable is happening......"

"It's nothing, it's just back to when I was a kid." The little boy opened his eyes unexpectedly and answered, and Taixia was so frightened that he turned his head to look at him.

"You're still alive?"

The little boy couldn't help but roll his eyes, he stood up on his own, cleaned up the dirt on his body, and said, "Didn't you probe my snort?" Still not sure? ”

Tantai Xia lowered his eyelids and whispered.

But there are some grievances in his heart, there are only two of them in such a big place, why did he start scolding her as soon as he woke up, can't he be harmonious and friendly?

No, wait a minute, as a child?

"Are you Sikong Yang?" She covered her mouth with one hand, and pointed at the little boy in surprise with the other, her big eyes sparkling.

"You're sluggish enough." He stood up and didn't pay any more attention to Taixia, he propped his hands above his eyes and looked into the distance.

"How can you be Sikong Yang?!" Taixia is still very puzzled, he has become like a child, what about her? Why is she still an adult?

"Because I brought you here." Sikong Yang seemed to have determined something, ignored Taixia, and walked forward directly, and when Taixia saw that he didn't greet him, he quickly stood up and followed him.

As he walked, he asked, "Where are you taking me?" Do you know this is there? Are we still in the Xuan Demon Continent? As soon as she asked a lot of questions, Sikong Yang didn't even pay attention to her.

Tang Taixia had never been snubbed like this on Sikong Yang, and he was already wronged in his heart, but now he could shed tears in the blink of an eye.

"Why don't you ignore me?" Her accusation began to cry a little, and Sikong Yang had to pause and turn his head to look at her.

"Aren't you thirsty?" As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw her parched lips, and he didn't think about anything else, and began to lead her to the source of water.

“…… Thirsty. Taixia looked at the little boy who was not yet her waist height, her mouth was slightly open, her hand was pinching the corner of her skirt, and there was a strange feeling in her heart.

If she was taken care of by Sikong Yang on weekdays, she would not be good, she has always been a person who can enjoy it, but she was taken care of by a child who was only seven or eight years old and looked like she had many wounds on her body, she was suddenly a little embarrassed.

After all, he is an adult, and there is still shame.

"Do you still have injuries on your body...... she was a little at a loss, wanting to touch him, but she felt that it was inappropriate.

Sikong Yang remembered that he was a little uncomfortable after being reminded by her, he was injured, he didn't care much, frowned, and walked forward: "It's okay, don't care." ”

Tang Taixia lowered his long eyelashes, suddenly took two quick steps, crossed him, stood in front of Sikong Yang with his waist crossed, turned his face, avoided his gaze and said, "You stop, you can't go." ”

Sikong Yang looked up at her, there were still one or two blood marks on his stubborn little face, his pale almost invisible eyebrows furrowed, and his voice was a little urned: "But I'm also thirsty, if we can't find a water source, we'll all die of thirst." ”

Yutai Xia's black eyes rolled around, and after thinking for a while, she walked in front of Sikong Yang, forced him to sit down, looked at his brown eyes now, and twisted and said, "I'll look for it, you sit here, I found it and came back to you." ”

Sikong Yang was a little uncomfortable with such a Taixia, he was almost pressed to sit down and quickly stood up at the same time, disapproving: "No, you have never been to the grassland, once you get lost, you will definitely not find me." ”

Taixia had to sit down again, and said with some force: "I have a mouth, and I can call people, and so are you, we are not dumb." ”

Sikong Yang stopped talking, hanging down his thick curly long eyelashes, as if he was thinking about the possibility of Taixia speaking, and after a while, Tantai Xia turned around and looked at the route and terrain, and he whispered a good word.

Tangtai Xia was not surprised in his heart, even if Sikong Yang said more other things, he must not go out to find a water source now, and Tangtai Xia would come up with other words to convince him.

"Then sit here obediently." She was very satisfied with Sikong Yang's sensibility, turned around and patted him on the shoulder, and praised him.

Sikong Yang was a little awkward.

Shantai Xia can't manage so much, it's rare for her to have the feeling of taking care of others, and it is a moment of pride in her heart.

She didn't think too much about it, and walked around the grassland at will.

Because she had smelled water vapor in the wind, she determined that the water source must not be far from her.

Her judgment was correct, and after only a few dozen steps, a small lake appeared in her sight, and the surface of the lake was quiet and clear reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, which was very beautiful to look at.

A burst of joy welled up in her heart, and she ran to the front of the lake with a dash.

It's just that she was a little stunned as soon as she ran here, for no other reason, there was a fence around the lake, and there were several dogs that looked very tall and mighty tied to the fence, and a pair of green eyes stared at the Tantaixia who looked like an intruder, making her wonder whether these were dogs or wolves.

It's really strange, Taixia took two steps back, subconsciously raised her hands and said that she would never do anything, thinking suspiciously, obviously she didn't have these when she saw it just now, how did she run in front of her and suddenly there were so many things.

However, it was these two steps back and gestures that made the originally quiet dogs start to howl one after another, and Taixia was startled, reflexively covered her ears, and then turned to run.

"Oops." She had barely taken two steps with her head shutting down, when her forehead hit something hard, and it felt warm to the touch, like a chest.

She covered her forehead and took two steps back, her waist was suddenly surrounded by a circle of heat, she looked up suspiciously, and saw a man with slightly dark skin and deep eyebrows, his eyes were beautiful amber, deep as if he could freeze people in them, his thin lips raised a smile, looking reminiscent of the sun in the sky, he didn't look big, only seventeen or eighteen years old, with an indescribable youthfulness in it.

She shook her head almost subconsciously, she was too easily confused by beauty, and besides, she had never seen it before, like a wild boy in this world.

"Are you alright?" He quickly withdrew the arm that was holding Taixia's waist, took half a step back, and took the initiative to keep his distance.

She knew that the young man was kind enough to hold her and not let her sit on the ground, but she was still a little shy, lowered her head, and whispered back: "I'm fine, thank you." ”

The boy's smile widened a little more, "Are you here to find water?" ”

After he reminded her, she quickly raised her head, looked directly into the young man's amber eyes, and said with some eagerness: "Yes, it's just ...... here."

"I'll take you to get it." The boy took the initiative to bypass her and walked ahead.

Tantai Xia quickly turned around and followed his footsteps, and asked as he walked, "Why are you so vigilant?" ”

Without looking back, the boy replied, "Because this is the source of water for our tribe." ”

He didn't reveal much information, Yutai Xia nodded clearly, the young man looked like a good talker and not very scheming, but in fact, he was cautious to what time it was, and he didn't want to say much information.

It just so happened that Taixia didn't want to know so much, anyway, she didn't belong here, so she didn't ask, just followed him silently.

When she walked in front of the fence and the dogs, the dogs that were glowing green in front of the young man were as well-behaved as real dogs under the young man's hands, and her eyes widened in surprise, and it was at this time that she believed that these things were dogs and not wolves.

"They, are they really dogs?" Although he told himself in his heart not to ask more, he still couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked more.

The boy touched the dog, and the other one hummed and chirped in an attempt to get his attention, but the boy had to touch them one by one, and the dogs were satisfied and lay on the ground, very well-behaved.

He heard Taixia ask, and nodded: "This is a unique breed on the grassland, which is born from steppe wolves and wolf dogs/mating/mating, they have more wolf nature than ordinary wolf dogs, and the dog nature is extremely low, and they only recognize one owner." ”

Tang Taixia understood at once, looking at the young man's familiarity with this group of dogs, he must be their master.
