Outside, the rain has stopped.

There was a fire burning in the small cave.

It's another night.

Ji Shu and Su Cardamom had already eaten the dry food they had brought, and they had not yet finished drinking the water they had brought in their leather bags when they set off.

The fire burned merrily, drying their coats.

Under the firelight, you can see the firewood piled up next to it, which seems to have been picked up and prepared before the end of the day.

For life in the wild, Ji Shu is no stranger to after experiencing the Northwest War, and this state is not much stronger than at that time.

Thinking of the days of bloody battles in the past year, uncertain days, and unpredictable returns, at this time in the cave, reflecting the firelight, leaning on the beloved girl by his side, listening to the wind and insects outside, the night and the starlight seem to have nothing to do with themselves, and they seem to be related to themselves everywhere.

The beautiful wants to lighten their breathing.

Su Cardamom snuggled on Ji Shu's shoulder and gradually fell asleep.

After a whole day of climbing mountains and mountains, she was tired.

The girl's sleeping face is quiet and soft, soft and well-behaved, where is there a little heroic shadow?

Ji Shu remembered the senior brother's entrustment before leaving: "Xiao Shu, if it really doesn't work, come back as soon as possible, let's think of other ways." ”

At that time, he smiled and held his brother's hand tightly, giving him an affirmative answer.

Now it seems that as long as there is this girl who accompanies him by his side, all difficulties will be solved. He will regard the difficulties he encounters as a test to sharpen his mind, as a protection and commitment to the girls around him.

He would take all the surprises he had encountered before him for granted.

And be willing.

Thinking of this, he tilted his head, a smile on his lips, and imprinted a kiss on Su Cardamom's forehead.

……

The night passed quietly.

Dawn has come, and the fire is gradually extinguished.

Ji Shu opened his sleepy eyes and found that Cardamom Su was not only awake, but also looking at him intently.

Ji Shu's eyes fell into her eyes, and Su Cardamom blushed slightly and coughed lightly.

Ji Shu chuckled.

"I'm so good-looking?" He asked, "What do you see?" ”

Su Cardamom snorted and turned her head.

"Hugh is going to misunderstand, and I didn't look at you." She looked angry, and then struggled again, "I really didn't see it...... It just so happened. This girl wants to see that you will be above board and undisguised. ”

Ji Shu looked at her appearance of no silver here, hid his smile, and had to say: "Yes, my fault!" Don't speculate and live for yourself. ”

Cardamom Su: "...... Isn't it getting dark outside? When do we depart? ”

Ji Shu handed her the water bag and asked her to rinse her mouth, "When will you eat dry food?" ”

"Not yet." Su Cardamom straightened her head full of green silk, "Let's go out and find a stream to wash your face first." ”

Ji Shu watched her pull up her hair neatly, and then inserted an ebony cloud hairpin on the top of her head, and her fingers moved slightly.

In the future, he will personally tie her hair and insert a beautiful hairpin between her hair.

But when the two walked out of the cave, they were both taken aback.

It's dark outside, where is the shadow of the dawn?

Ji Shu and Su Cardamom looked at each other.

"Did you meet the Si Yu worm so soon?" Ji Shu muttered, "According to what Yunsang said, we may not encounter Si Youworm until three days." ”

Su Cardamom's heart moved.

She was about to reach out, but unexpectedly one hand was caught and clenched by another warm hand.

It was Ji Zhenming's hand.

He held her for the first time.

The feeling of helplessness that had just surfaced was dispersed by this slender, strong, flexible and flexible hand.

"Won't it?" She looked up into Ji Shu's eyes, "Are we so unlucky?" ”

Ji Shu nodded: "It's possible to be so unlucky." ”

"Then let's hurry!" Su Cardamom pulled Ji Shu and retreated towards the cave, "Don't wash your hands and face, we have to eat something quickly and make some preparations." ”

Ji Shu: "......"

I was speechless for a while.

I have to admit that what Su Cardamom said was right.

"Si You Insect is a kind of flying insect unique to Si You Mountain, the size of a fingernail, the body is transparent, and the green and gold wings are abnormally beautiful. Live together. Each of the swarms is too numerous to count, and there is a king of insects. The insect king, without superfluous explanations, is literal, and his size is comparable to his thumb. Si You's insect is beautiful, but its hallucinogenic ability is terrifying. Moreover, Si Youworm is sensitive to popularity, and every time it follows popularity, it almost obscures the sky. ”

Ji Shu remembered Shi Yunsang's words, and his brows furrowed a little.

At that time, he asked, "Is it really so evil?" Then this ghost worm is too smart. ”

Yun Sang sighed before he said: "People say 'the ignorant are fearless', and this is really not to deceive me." Si Youshan is rich in products and extensive, and there is never a lack of vision from coveters, but for many years, Si Youshan is still inaccessible, why? It's all because Si Youyou Insect is too hospitable, chasing everyone who enters Si Youshan. But no matter how powerful the world is, there are always things in his heart that can't let go of the things of reluctant people, and all of these have become his unbreakable demons under the hallucinogenic beauty of Si Youworm. Can the demons in the heart be eliminated without getting rid of them? ”

Ji Shu still asked with a hint of hope: "Is there no way to deal with it at all?" Since Si Youworm likes popularity, isn't it easy to cover up popularity? ”

"Well," Yun Sang grabbed his palm, "It's indeed possible, but it's not easy after all." To tell the truth, the biggest killing thing of Si Youworm is not its elusiveness, but its beauty,—— as long as you look at it, you will be captured by its extreme beauty, and then enter the illusion. But you can't walk with your eyes closed, otherwise there won't be so many vain ghosts in Si Youshan. ”

"Aren't you and your predecessors often collecting medicine in the mountains? What are the best ways you have used to get out of the way? Ji Shu asked.

Yun Sang: "I did go out to collect medicine, but I avoided the active place of Si Youworm, but it was just near this poison medicine valley." So, I really can't help against the Si Youyou. Also, in addition to Si You's insects, there are also a lot of other dangerous things in Si Youshan, are you sure you want to go? ”

"Yes." Ji Shu did not hesitate, "Since I promised the poison doctor senior, I will definitely not go back." ”

……

Inside the cave.

Su Cardamom nibbled on dry food, she gnawed a little fast, and some were unsweet.

Ji Shu looked at her.

As soon as she raised her head and touched Ji Shu's eyes, she immediately caught the emotions in Ji Shu's eyes.

"Snuff out your thoughts!" Su Cardamom swallowed a mouthful of dry food, "Don't even think about it, I won't go back, giving up halfway is not Su Cardamom's style." ”

Ji Shu hadn't yet pronounced the words that he had not yet spoken, and she was cut down by her at the door of the tooth.

He had to smile indulgently, and simply said: "I don't have colorful phoenix wings, and I have a good heart." Little Bean, you have such a sharp eye......"

Cardamom Su was completely unmoved, only looking into his eyes for a moment.

Until Ji Shu was entangled with her guilt and pity, he raised his hand and said, "I promise that no matter what happens, the two of us will face it together and solve it together!" ”

Only then did Cardamom withdraw her condemning and aggrieved gaze and give him a bright smile.
