Entering the northwest boundary, obviously desolate, Shi Yingying felt surprised when she saw the desert at first, and then gradually felt nothing, this side is very different from the Central Plains, the place is big, there are few people, you can't be like before, you can play in the inn or post station every day, she and Du Changfeng began to sleep in the wild.

It was dusk, the sunset was bright red, the fire was erected, and the white smoke was soaring. ”

Du Changfeng glanced at her in surprise, and Shi Yingying was a little proud, "Why, think I haven't studied?" ”

Du Changfeng smiled noncommittally and added firewood to the fire.

Shi Yingying was puzzled, "It's not cold, why do we have to make a fire?" ”

“……”

"Is it because you have to make a fire to cook? We brought steamed buns and beef in sauce, which can be eaten without heating. ”

“……”

"Du Changfeng, you can say something!"

“……”

"Actually, that day in the desert, you want to leave me behind, right?"

Du Changfeng slowly raised his head, "...... No. ”

"Don't dare to look at me, be a thief," Shi Yingying snorted, "Don't think I don't know, if I don't have heat stroke, even if I call my voice hoarse, you won't come out." ”

Du Changfeng looked at her for a while, "Are you pretending to have heat stroke?" ”

"Who pretends to be a puppy," Shi Yingying squinted at him, "This girl runs a restaurant and has countless people, can I not know your little fancy intestines?" To be honest, I'm really afraid that when I wake up, you'll be completely gone, and it's okay that your conscience hasn't been eaten by dogs. She paused for a moment, and lowered her voice, "Du Changfeng, we can be regarded as sharing weal and sorrow along the way, relying on each other for our lives, you don't have the slightest idea about me?" ”

Du Changfeng grabbed a branch in his hand and scratched on the sand, and was about to speak, when Shi Yingying shouted, "Think about it clearly!" ”

"I think very clearly," Du Changfeng raised his eyes to look at her and said with a serious face, "No." ”

Shi Yingying knew that this was the result, and she was not surprised at all, holding her legs, resting her head on her knees, sighing sadly, and muttering to herself, "I'm so good, why don't you like it?" But I think you'll regret it one day. The latter sentence gave her inexplicable confidence, she cheered up, and stared at Du Changfeng with bright eyes, "Remember my words today, one day you will regret it!" ”

Du Changfeng said, "I remember, but you will be disappointed." ”

"No, I'm confident." Shi Yingying smiled and watched the sunset fall into the horizon, "Du Changfeng, you haven't told me yet, why do we have to make a fire?" ”

"Because it's getting dark here, the jackal is going to appear."

"Hu, jackal?" Shi Yingying's heart jumped: "Is it a wolf?" ”

"Well, a kind of wolf that roams the desert and grasslands."

"I've heard that wolves like to pile up, and when they come, they're a group, so we're not going to be so lucky, right?" She pretended to be calm and smiled dryly.

Shi Yingying has always been fierce in front of him, and it is rare to be weak at times, he didn't feel funny, and deliberately teased her, "Maybe it's a jackal, that kind of thing is very ghostly, it quietly came to you, and you didn't even notice it." ”

No matter how bold Shi Yingying is, she is also a girl, and it is the first time to spend the night in such a place where there is no village and no store, which is a challenge for her, plus there are ...... Wolf.

The vast land looked far away, the undulating sand dunes in the distance, the grass in the distance, the twilight sank, the sky was so high, the earth was so wide, the sand dunes became black shadows, she looked around, and always felt that something was swimming in the darkness.

Du Changfeng opened the burden and handed her the steamed buns, "Eat, even if you meet a jackal, you have to eat a full stomach before you have the strength to run." ”

Shi Yingying didn't say a word, took it and ate it in a big bite, the dry steamed bun, she swallowed her stomach in three or two clicks, and reached out to ask for it again.

Du Changfeng said, "You eat leisurely, be careful of choking." ”

As soon as the words fell, Shi Yingying stretched her neck and hiccuped, and then the hiccup couldn't stop anymore, she covered her mouth and looked around in panic, like a panicked little rabbit.

"Don't worry about playing boldly, the jackal doesn't rely on listening to sounds, but by smelling through its nose, it has to be nearby, and it has long smelled you." He handed the kettle over, "Drink some water." ”

Shi Yingying covered herself in discomfort, heard him say this, let go of her hand, hiccuped a few times, saw Du Changfeng's strange eyes, smiled embarrassedly, "It's much more comfortable." ”

She took a few sips of water, "You know the direction, let's not get lost here, we can't get out if we get lost in the desert." ”

"No, I'll leave early tomorrow, and I'll be able to get to Chiba Castle at noon, and when I get there, I'll change my horses, and I'll be there on the road." Du Changfeng swallowed the food in his mouth, lay on the ground on all fours, and looked at the dark blue sky.

Shi Yingying slowly stopped her hiccups, lay down like him, and stretched her waist a lot, "It's so comfortable." ”

The sky is so high, the stars are so bright, and they are shining, like black velvet studded with pearls.

Neither of them spoke, lying quietly, the sky was high and wide, majestic and quiet, as if time had stood still, and people were as small as a speck of dust, lying in the long river of time, not knowing where they would be taken in the next moment.

The cold moon, the lonely sand, and the boundless desolation made Shi Yingying have a kind of ground as a bed, and the sky was heroic, she let out a long breath and slowly closed her eyelids. Hearing Du Changfeng's clear voice, "Yingying, when you arrive in Chiba City tomorrow, you can stay." ”

Shi Yingying opened her eyes suddenly: "Why?" ”

"Chiba Castle is a big city in the northwest, prosperous and lively, if you stay, there will be a place for you."

Shi Yingying blinked, "My place of use is you, you're not here, what else am I tossing?" ”

"Are you trying to toss me?"

Shi Yingying smiled happily, "Do you want to toss here once?" I've heard it's quite wild! ”

Du Changfeng's face turned green, and he turned his back and ignored her.

Shi Yingying laughed loudly, he was wary of her all the way, he couldn't rub any oil, and it was good to take advantage of his mouth.

Lying down, his eyelids were heavy, and he was hit on his leg not lightly, "It's cold at night, go to sleep in the car." ”

Shi Yingying sat up obediently, "Are you going?" ”

Du Changfeng's face darkened, "I want to guard the fire." ”

"Then I won't go," Shi Yingying lay down again and rubbed beside him, "Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, where you are, I will be there." ”

Du Changfeng couldn't cry or laugh, "You obviously know that we can't count the ...... when we get married."

"Who said not to count, I am the daughter-in-law of your Ming Media is marrying, worshipping heaven and earth, and the villagers from all over the country have come to drink the wedding wine," she said with a cold face, "Du Changfeng, I can do other things without effect, but if you don't admit our family affairs, I won't follow it!" ”

She smiled plainly, it was rare to sink her face, the firelight was imprinted on that pretty face, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and her pink face was sinister, so Du Changfeng chuckled in her heart, but she didn't dare to speak again.
