Chapter 16: The Vigil
Zhang Fan and the others, walking all the way to rest, stopped at dusk and found a suitable place to set up a tent, Leng Xingyun began to arrange the vigil.
Since Zhang Fan's injuries have not healed, of course, he does not need to participate in the vigil in turns.
But when he heard that Feng Wanyue was arranged to keep vigil, he looked at Feng Wanyue, who was dirty and tired, with a little distress, and put forward his opinion: "She has taken care of me very carefully these days, and she is already very tired after another day of traveling." So, I wanted to keep vigil in her place. ”
"Zhang Fan, thank you." Feng Wanyue smiled softly: "I am willing to accept the vigil arrangement." ”
"But you ......" Zhang Fan was interrupted by Feng Wanyue before he finished speaking.
"It's okay, the main thing is that your injuries haven't healed yet, and you should rest more." Feng Wanyue saw that Zhang Fan seemed to be about to say something again, and immediately interrupted: "In today's society, everyone is talking about the issue of equality between men and women.
Although I am a woman, I can't help you much in terms of physical strength and ability, but as a partner on the expedition with you, I will only be excluded from keeping watch for two hours and nights, how dare I say that men and women are equal in the future? ”
Zhang Fan felt that what Feng Wanyue said was reasonable, so he didn't dissuade him anymore.
Then, several people started a bonfire, and Leng Xingyun went to catch two small hares, washed and peeled them, brought them back into large pieces, and each sat around the bonfire to roast rabbit meat.
By the time you were full of food and drink, it was already dark.
Except for Leng Xingyun, who sometimes stared at the bonfire and sometimes looked at the starry sky in a daze, the other four chatted happily, especially Zhang Fan and Feng Wanyue, who chatted very happily.
After a while, Leng Xingyun estimated that the time was almost up, so he asked them to go back to the tent to rest.
Then, Leng Xingyun got into Zhang Fan's tent and asked, "Why do you want to help her keep vigil?" ”
"Last night, I saw that her face was very bad and her palms were in a cold sweat, so I asked her." Zhang Fan said a little shyly: "She secretly told me that she ...... That one came, and I was very unwell. That's why I offered to help her keep vigil. ”
Leng Xingyun frowned slightly, and said with a slight reproach: "You and her, started dating?" ”
Zhang Fan didn't hear Leng Xingyun's tone at this time was slightly different from usual, and he smiled even more shyly and scratched his head: "You think too much, I didn't start with her, I just think she is very good, gentle and considerate and good at taking care of people, well......"
"Do you like her?" Leng Xingyun didn't want to listen to Zhang Fan's ambiguous words, he just wanted to know the result, so he asked bluntly: "Do you feel that she likes you?" ”
"......" Zhang Fan was stunned, opened his mouth with a complicated expression but didn't say anything, and finally shook his head and sighed in frustration: "I don't know what to say, I am six years different from her, how does she feel about me...... I can't say it, but I seem to have a strange and indescribable feeling about her......"
"Hey! Why am I telling you this? When it comes to fighting, you are good at kung fu and quick to see a wide range of things, and you are better than us. But things between men and women ......" Zhang Fan looked at Leng Xingyun and sneered: "Even we haven't understood something, you're only sixteen years old, I don't believe you know much!" ”
When Leng Xingyun heard this, his originally deep and bright eyes suddenly dimmed, and he was sad: I was frozen in the skin of sixteen years old as early as a thousand years ago, and I have experienced love in the world, whether it is true or false, how can I not understand?
How can you not see that she is deliberately arousing your interest in her? I thought you wouldn't respond to her, but I didn't expect it to be tonight.
But tonight, it's my time and shes......
"Cold Nebula?" Zhang Fan saw that his expression was gloomy, and asked tentatively, "What's wrong with you?" Got something on your mind? ”
"Nope." Leng Xingyun turned and left the tent.
"This person is really ......" Zhang Fan couldn't find a suitable adjective for a while, so he had to squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth: "Inexplicable!" ”
He then lay down in a sleeping bag.
Leng Nebula, on the other hand, sat in front of the campfire and watched the first night.
Since Zhang Fan wanted to accompany Feng Wanyue to keep vigil, he never slept, his heart was like an invisible cat's paw scratching, and his ears were always paying attention to the movement outside, until he heard Feng Wanyue go to replace Leng Xingyun.
Zhang Fan left the tent at this time, sat down next to Feng Wanyue, and chatted excitedly.
Time passes in minutes and seconds.
Zhang Fan didn't seem to feel sleepy, and he always had endless words to Feng Wanyue, which made Feng Wanyue inadvertently reveal an anxious look.
"Wanyue, you have a ...... expression" Zhang Fan wondered why she seemed a little strange with Feng Wanyue just now, so she asked tentatively: "Which of my words was wrong, or do you have something on your mind?" ”
Feng Wanyue didn't answer, rolled her eyes and thought about it, then leaned her head lightly on Zhang Fan's shoulder, and said softly: "Do you know that a woman who has no home, no matter how good her work is, is equivalent to wandering in loneliness, loneliness and cold.
Sometimes, I really want to find a shoulder to lean on and feel the warmth. But I'm a bit introverted and don't like to over-socialize with anyone. But after getting along with you, you give me a very special feeling, like my long-lost brother, and like I haven't seen him for a long time...... Important people. ”
Zhang Fan's heart trembled slightly, stretched out his arm to hold Feng Wanyue lightly, and smiled shyly: "You, if you like it, my shoulder can be lent to you at any time." ”
"Thank you." Feng Wanyue said, took out a silver bracelet watch from her pocket, and whispered softly and apologetically: "I'm sorry." ”
"What?" Zhang Fan didn't hear clearly, so he saw Feng Wanyue holding the strap and shaking left and right in front of Zhang Fan's eyes.
"Zhang Fan, look at the center point of this watch, look at it, look at it...... Wherever the movement is, your eyes follow. Feng Wanyue bewitched Zhang Fan with a soft, slow and seemingly magical voice.
Zhang Fan's expression was sluggish, and his eyes looked at the watch movement swaying from side to side in a daze.
"Very good, Zhang Fan, remember, just sit still and don't move, don't talk, don't think about anything, can't hear any sound, and can't see anyone other than me in your eyes. You're like a statue that only blinks and breathes, you're a statue, a statue ......"
Feng Wanyue finished speaking slowly, put the watch on her wrist, then took off the switchblade on Zhang Fan's body, looked apologetically at Zhang Fan like a statue, and tiptoed towards Leng Xingyun, who was used to sitting under a tree not far away, sleeping against the trunk.
Leng Xingyun, who was awake for seven minutes of sleep, knew that Feng Wanyue was coming, and pretended to be asleep quietly on the surface, and was secretly ready to capture her.
When Feng Wanyue walked to Leng Xingyun's side with a knife, she did not hesitate as she did last time, but started very simply.
At the moment when the sharp blade was about to stab at the side of Leng Xingyun's neck, the wrist holding the knife was suddenly grabbed by a hand, and Feng Wanyue, who was in pain, let out a soft cry and couldn't help but let go of her hand.
The knife fell to the ground in an instant.
Leng Xingyun opened his eyes and got up, and strangled Feng Wanyue's throat with his other hand.
Before he had time to question, he heard Feng Wanyue say quickly: "I'm dead, and Zhang Fan can't live!" ”
