Hearing Tang Nian's words, Gu Lin couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

Originally, the Tang Nian he knew was just after the Tang family was born, because he was a woman, so he was not treated by his family, let alone reading poetry and books, maybe eating and dressing was a luxury for Tang Nian.

But he never expected Tang Nian to understand so many truths.

Gu Lin hooked the corners of his lips slightly, raised his hand and gently scratched Tang Nian's upturned nose and said with a smile: "Where did you know this?" ”

Tang Nian knew that he was praising her, smiled, and then said, "What? Aren't you glad that your lady is full of poetry? ”

Looking at her childish energy, Gu Lin only smiled slightly, and then stopped talking.

He raised his head and looked around at the situation, it was already late at night, and the mountain was obviously uninhabited, and there must be many birds and beasts of prey.

Tang Nian saw that Gu Lin's eyes gradually rose a little worried, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" What are you thinking? ”

"Now that the night is dark, this beast must be waiting for an opportunity to strike, but there are many traps on this mountain that cannot be laid by hunters, and it is difficult to see clearly at night, so it must be impossible to hurry."

Gu Lin's tone sank a little, and his eyes were always thinking about what they should do tonight.

Tang Nian looked in the direction he looked at, and the forest was really dark, and the foliage was very dense, which did look a little scary.

Thinking that he had seen those costume dramas in modern times before, Tang Nian suddenly had a clever plan in his mind and said: "Otherwise, let's light a fire first, which can not only warm up the body but also suppress the beast." ”

After that, when she was about to get up, Gu Lin pulled her down.

"No." The man shook his head slightly, raised his eyebrows, and then explained, "At the moment, there are only two of us, if there are many people, then we can also light a fire to keep warm, and the beasts in this mountain are no better than those small things, they are definitely not afraid of fire." ”

Hearing this, Tang Nian had no choice but to sit beside him again, not daring to act rashly.

After all, Gu Lin is an expert in this area, and she doesn't understand this, so she has to listen to what he says.

Tang Nian was bored, holding a branch from the side and drawing indiscriminately on the ground, supporting his chin with his other hand, with a hint of distress in his tone, and said, "Then what should we do?" ”

Gu Linxing probably saw the woman's worries, raised his hand, grabbed the woman's hand, and held the hand that supported the chin, the two of them interlocked their fingers, and said in a firm and comforting tone: "It's okay, just wait for dawn, and we will set off." ”

Tang Nian couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart, but when she looked up and saw this dark place, she couldn't help but sigh, when will it be bright this day?

Now seeing that the woman has been unable to close her eyes, Gu Lin raised a hand, put the woman's head on his shoulder and whispered, "You can rest for a while, I'll just guard it." ”

Tang Nian really felt that her eyelids had drooped heavily, she had only walked for so long, she was really a little tired, nodded and leaned on the man's shoulder, and closed her eyes.

But no matter what, she never fell asleep, and when she opened her eyes, she suddenly noticed a white light flashing in front of her.

Seeing this, Tang Nian's heart couldn't help but tremble, and then he raised his hand, pointed towards his white shadow, and said to Gu Lin: "I seem to have seen something strange just now." ”

Hearing this, Gu Lin's brows instantly raised, and he looked in the direction she pointed, but there was nothing.

"Could it be that you are too tired and dazzled?" Gu Lin looked at the woman sideways and asked with a somewhat pale face.

Tang Nian thought for a moment, it wasn't her hallucination, but since Gu Lin said so, she really couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she had to reply: "I don't know either." ”

"Sleep." Gu Lin said softly again.

Although Tang Nian obediently leaned on his shoulder, he didn't dare to close his eyes anymore.

She really felt that what she had just seen was not a hallucination.

But she waited for a while and didn't see the white shadow just now, and she was comforting herself in her heart, maybe it was really her hallucination, and suddenly appeared again in front of their eyes.

This time, Gu Lin also saw it, the man's sword eyebrows were slightly raised, his expression was nervous, and he stared at the white shadow deadly.

This time the white shadow didn't run to the side, but stood there in a daze, as if staring at the two of them.

Tang Nian was originally timid, but he was naturally scared when he saw this scene, and his body couldn't stop shaking.

Although she tried her best to hide her fear, her body's instincts couldn't fool others, nor could she fool herself.

Feeling the slight tremor of the woman's body in his arms, Gu Lin hugged her tighter and whispered, "It's okay, I'm still here." ”

With that, he cautiously picked up the sword next to him, and once again set his eyes on the White Shadow Mountain, staring at him.

He had vaguely sensed what the white shadow was, after all, he had just seen the same thing when Tang Nian didn't come.

Maybe it's the birds of prey beasts he speaks of.

If he was alone, he might still be able to face the beast head-on, but at the moment he didn't know that there were no other animals next to that herd, and he had to protect Tang Nian.

Because he was too nervous and scared, Tang Nian's voice became a little trembling: "What is that?" ”

Gu Lin gave her a look, motioned her to lower her voice, and finally whispered in her ear: "It should be a beast that lives in this mountain forest." ”

When he heard the word "beast", Tang Nian couldn't help but instinctively shudder again.

She didn't expect that her life was getting better day by day, but she was going to die in this nameless mountain forest.

Thinking of this, Tang Nian's heart couldn't help but chill.

"If you wait for the beast to attack head-on, you can find a place to hide, and leave me alone, I will protect you."

Gu Lin paused word by word, and instructed Tang Nian in an extremely low voice.

"But...... "She finally found Gu Lin, she couldn't just watch him being killed by the beast."

Before she finished speaking, Gu Lin instantly gave her a look, and Tang Nian had no choice but to close his mouth.

Tang Nian gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, and his eyes became firm.
