Chapter 39: The Trap of Ooten
Ji Xuan'er arched her hand to Sang Ai and said, "I didn't expect that we would stay here for a while, and the girl arranged everything for everyone, it's really a labor girl." ”
Sang Ai heard Ji Xuan'er praise her, smiled shyly, lowered his head and said, "It's just that I have been living in the sea of trees in Aokihara, so I have more experience in living in the mountains and forests." Childe, Miss Wen, come with me, I'll take you to the hut. After saying that, he walked ahead and led the way.
Ji Xuan'er and Wen Yixian followed behind, walked through the hill in front, and sure enough, they saw a thatched hut in the col under the hillside, the three of them walked to the thatched hut, only to see that the outside of the thatched hut was full of cobwebs, and the door panel was also broken, and the other door panel was full of cracks, Ji Xuan'er picked up a dry branch from the ground, cleaned up the cobwebs on the door, and asked Wen Yixian for the night pearl on her body, and illuminated the inside of the thatched hut. It's almost disgusting.
Ji Xuan'er saw that there was a stone pit in the house, a wooden table, and a few stools, clean it up, and it would be okay to spend the night here, so he said to Wen Yixian and Sang Ai: "I'll go get some water and come back to clean this place, and you two go find some firewood and come back, clean up here, and stay here for one night tonight." ”
Sang Ai listened and said, "Don't worry, Childe, Sister Wen and I will definitely find more firewood and come back." With that, Lawen Yixian walked into the woods together, and Ji Xuan'er went to fetch water.
Sang Ai and Wen Yixian picked up a bundle of firewood in the woods, and when they were about to go back, Sang Ai said to Wen Yixian: "Sister Wen, when Gongzi saw you fall down and rescued you back, he must have strained his arm. ”
Wen Yixian heard it and felt that it made sense, so the two of them each held a bundle of firewood and looked for Wugu vine in the forest for a while, but unfortunately they didn't find a single one, Sang Ai said: "It's really strange, this kind of grass should be everywhere, Sister Wen, I think Gongzi he must have already fetched water and gone back to the hut, he will definitely worry about us if he doesn't see us go back for a long time, why don't you go back with firewood first, I'll stay and look for it." ”
Wen Yixian shook his head when he heard this, handed the firewood in his hand to Sang Ai and said, "It's better for you to go back with firewood, and I'll stay and find it." ”
Sang Ai agreed: "Okay, then I'll go back first, Sister Wen, some snakes like to hunker down under the ancient vine the most, you have to be careful." The moment he turned around, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Sang Ai's mouth, I'm sorry, Sister Wen, who made Gongzi care about you so much? In fact, it is not that the poisonous snake likes to coil under the black vine, but the ancient vine likes to grow around the poisonous snake's nest the most, and she is afraid that she will find the black bone vine, and she will not take it away.
When Sang Ai returned to the hut, Ji Xuan'er had already returned the water to clean the tables, stools, and stone pits in the house, and the musty smell in the house was also swept away. On the way back, Sang Ai remembered that there was a clay pot with flower arrangements in the house, so she pinched a handful of wild flowers on the way, yellow, red and purple, thinking that it must be beautiful to take it back and insert it in the clay pot.
Without that woman to disturb her and Childe's two-person world, her mood suddenly improved.
She saw that Ji Xuan'er was sitting on the stone pit meditating, closing her eyes and recuperating, so she gently put the firewood on the ground, walked in with a smile, stood in front of him, sent the flower to Ji Xuan'er's eyes, and said with a smile: "Childe, do you think this flower looks good?" ”
As soon as Ji Xuan'er heard Sang Ai's voice, he immediately opened his eyes, he had been waiting for the two of them in the house for a long time, seeing that the two of them had not come back for a long time, he was afraid that something would happen and wanted to go out to find him, and he was afraid that the two of them would come back and not see him, so he also went out to find him, so he decided to meditate on the stone pit and wait, if he waited for another incense time, he would not see the two of them come back, and then go out to find the two of them.
Who knew that when he opened his eyes, he saw Sang Ai alone, but Wen Yixian was gone, he was worried, and asked Sang Ai: "Sang Ai girl, why are you alone?" What about Miss Wen? ”
Sang Ai was a little unhappy in her heart, even if the woman was not there, how could the prince think about her in his heart, but he smiled softly: "Miss Wen said that she still wanted to find some fruit to eat, and asked me to come back first, and she will come back later." ”
Ji Xuan'er nodded, she must be hungry, and said with a smile: "When I was fetching water, I caught three fish by the way, and I still raised them in that bucket, we washed them out and roasted them, and when Miss Wen came back, there was something to eat." ”
Sang Ai smiled and nodded, washed the fish with Ji Xuan'er, raised a fire in the open space of the thatched hut, set up the three fish and roasted them, and the two talked for a while, Ji Xuan'er is not a person with a lively temperament, most of the time Wen Yixian is asking him to answer, just talking about some old things in Wuji Palace, how the snow on the mountain is white, how the trees are cold-resistant, and how the brothers and sisters work hard.
The two of them chatted easily, but Wen Yixian was still looking for black bone vines in the woods with a fire fold alone, and the grass was pulled out one after another, and she didn't find the kind of grass described by Sang Ai, and she had walked a long way in the woods unconsciously, she wanted to give up, but thinking about the injury he suffered after all, she was injured to save her, and her expression when she caught him was obviously painful, although she didn't read much, but even the girls in the first square knew who was more kind and worried about whom, didn't she even know how to repay her kindness?
In any case, let's find the grass for him!
At this time, she suddenly heard a sound in the grass, looked down, and saw a small snake with black and white spots all over her body crawling quickly from the grass, she suddenly remembered what Sang Ai said, some snakes like to coil under the ancient vine, as long as they follow the snake, they may find the ancient vine, so they followed the snake all the way, chased for a mile, and saw that the snake suddenly disappeared into a pile of vines.
Wen Yixian looked closely at the vines, the trumpet-shaped leaves, the gray-green rattans, and the safflower the size of a grain of rice, with a faint fragrance, and his eyes lit up, isn't this the ancient vine that Sang Ai said? I finally found myself.
Happy, she stepped over in one step, ready to pull out one or two plants and bring them back, but when she pulled out the rattan and saw the things under the rattan, she had goosebumps all over her body, and under those rattans, there was a nest of black and white small snakes, one by one, and the roots of the rattan were enclosed, and she noticed that the rattan was moved, as if the ancestral house had been demolished, all of them were erected, spitting snake hyacinths, and threw themselves on Wen Yixian, Wen Yixian screamed, jumped away, and there were still a few snakes that pounced on her, She only felt that she had been bitten on her neck, calf, and arm, and then she fainted.
