Lin Xiaozhu thought so, but Yuan Tianye thought that she had no strength when she went ashore, and now that she had walked for so long, she must have been extremely tired, so she didn't insist, put Shen Ziyi off her back, sat on the ground, and then looked at the wet grass and trees everywhere, sighed and said, "Where can I find dry firewood to roast the fire?" ”

"Wet wood can also be burned, but the smoke is bigger." Lin Xiaozhu said. In the past, when I was at my uncle's house in the mountains, I was sometimes beaten out by my aunt and hid in the mountains, even when it rained, she would burn a fire to roast game. Thinking of those days, she sighed. If she hadn't met Yuan Tianye, she would probably have been sold to the mountains to be a child daughter-in-law. Rao is no matter how clever she is, when she encounters a lot of strength, she can't run at all. Whether it's dead or alive now, I don't know.

From her words, Yuan Tianye obviously remembered her life at her uncle's house. Although he didn't know what kind of life she had lived before, he saw her aunt's performance and the reaction of the people in the village at the time, and knew that she must not be doing well, otherwise she would not have sold herself. From the fact that she has always wanted to redeem herself, she knows that if she is not desperate, she will never sell herself.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Lin Xiaozhu with a little pity.

Lin Xiaozhu didn't see his gaze, and after saying that, she looked around, and finally saw a big tree in the distance. When it rains, there are large trees in the way, and the underside of the trees will not be as wet as outside, plus there are dead leaves on top, and there should be some half-dry branches underneath. She walked over and picked up the leaves on the ground with a twig, and sure enough, she found some half-dried branches.

"I'll come, you go back and rest." Yuan Tianye's voice sounded behind him.

Lin Xiaozhu turned around, smiled at him, and said, "Let's go together." "If it had been before, she would have redeemed herself. In their eyes, she is still a subordinate, and these things should naturally be done by her, Yuan Tianye just sits there and waits for the fire. But now. Yuan Tianye didn't sit there and wait, nor did he come to help, but felt sorry for her. I want to do things for her. This kind of change, although it is a very small thing. But it can also be seen that her status has changed in his mind. Between them, it is no longer the relationship between the master and the subordinate, but the relationship between the man and the woman.

She is naturally happy to see this change in Yuan Tianye. So they didn't shirk, and the two of them did it. Together, they picked up the dead branches.

"It's drier here than other places, so you can carry Wing Gongzi on your back." Pick up enough branches, Lin Xiaozhu said.

"Okay." Yuan Tianye got up and went over and carried Shen Ziyi over.

Since Lin Xiaozhu arrived in this ancient period, because he has no home, he has no sense of security, and he has always liked to bring all his belongings with him, and the flint that can make a fire to cook and survive is naturally no exception. She touched her body and took the flint out of her bosom, when she was suddenly stunned. Only then did she remember that when she was swimming to the shore, she no longer had any strength at that time, and the silver taels on her waist made her feel heavier and heavier. To stay alive. With a gritted tooth, she untied her belt and threw both the silver into the river. I was exhausted just now and didn't have time to think about this. Now that I think about it, her heart is really painful. That's more than a hundred taels of silver that she has worked hard to accumulate for several years.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly touched the corner of her clothes. I felt a piece of slightly hard paper still in the corner of my clothes, and my heart suddenly relaxed. According to the principle that she can't put her eggs in one basket, the one thousand taels of silver ticket that Shen Ziyi gave her, she sewed it tightly into the corner of her clothes, and she didn't put it with the silver. Fortunately, the paper of the silver ticket was special, it was soaked in water, and it was still in the corner of her clothes, otherwise, she would really want to cry without tears.

Fortunately, it's okay, I went to the small head, and the big head is still there.

Lin Xiaozhu breathed a sigh of relief, and it took a long time to light the fire with dead branches and flints. And Yuan Tianye also helped Shen Ziyi to sit down here. He glanced at Lin Xiaozhu, took off his robe, checked a branch, spread out his clothes to dry, and gathered beside the fire.

Although in modern times, I have seen a lot of men wearing only a pair of underwear in the swimming pool, but in ancient times, Lin Xiaozhu was more or less influenced by some etiquette, and knew that even if Yuan Tianye wore extremely tightly wrapped obscene clothes, it was not something that a woman like her could see. At that moment, he turned his head a little unnaturally, stood up and said, "I'll go over there and raise another fire." ”

"Don't leave yet, I'll help him force the cold out, so you can stay here." Otherwise, if there is anything, I won't be able to take care of you at once. Yuan Tianye said.

Lin Xiaozhu saw that Shen Ziyi had his eyes closed, and there was a trace of unnatural flushing on his face, knowing that he must have had a cold and fever just now, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you can do your luck, I'll be guarding by the side, and I won't run around." ”

Yuan Tianye stopped talking nonsense, turned Shen Ziyi around, sat with his back to him, and began to use his exercises to help him heal. After a while, mist began to emerge from Shen Ziyi's body.

Lin Xiaozhu thought it was amazing at first, and it was very interesting to watch. But her whole body, even her hair, was wet. I didn't feel that I was busy before, but now I sit down and be blown by the cool autumn breeze like this, which is cold and wet, and it is very uncomfortable! After a while, she felt that her nose was itchy and wanted to sneeze, in order not to affect Yuan Tianye, she exhaled desperately, and finally couldn't help it.

She looked at Yuan Tianye and them and sighed secretly. With them here, she couldn't have taken off her clothes and dried them. I can only beg heaven not to let her catch a cold at this time. Having a Shen Ziyi is enough to worry about, if she is also sick, what should Yuan Tianye do alone?

After thinking about it, she turned in one direction and sat with her back to the fire. When she was deep in the mountains, she saw a child catch a cold, and the adults in the family would burn a pile of straw and use the fire to dry the child's back. Slowly burn the pile of straw and warm the back, and the child's wind chill will be cured.

With his back to the fire, Lin Xiaozhu slowly felt his body warm up. Even if you wear wet clothes on your chest, you don't feel cold. She stretched out her hand and flipped Yuan Tianye's robe over, allowing the fire to roast where it hadn't dried. I don't know what this robe is made of, it's extremely soft and easy to dry. After only a short period of effort, it was already half-dry.

After a cup of tea, Yuan Tianye let go of the hand that was attached to Shen Ziyi's back, made a gesture, and slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing Lin Xiaozhu sitting with his back to the fire, looking up into the distance, his long eyelashes blinked, and he didn't know what he was thinking. The wet and wet hair was scattered on her back, and the oil was on the ground, lining her skin more and more like clotted fat, and her skin was like white jade. The wet clothes clinged to the body, outlining a graceful curve.

Thinking of the sweet taste in her mouth and the hug in the river, Yuan Tianye only felt his heart fluttering and his mouth was dry. He quickly removed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and then walked up to her and said, "Come, I'll help you drive away the cold." ”

"How are you?" Lin Xiaozhu turned her head in surprise, saw Yuan Tianye sitting behind her, shook her head and said, "I'm fine, I don't need to drive away the cold." "Yuan Tianye has been tired for so long, and he helped Shen Ziyi drive away the cold, he should have been tired for a long time. If she helps her with her luck, she is worried that he will not be able to bear it. And just now, she roasted her back, and the chill on her body had subsided.

Yuan Tianye was not at ease, took Lin Xiaozhu's hand, gave her a pulse, and saw that she was really fine, so he relieved himself. But he was reluctant to put her hand down, and slowly wrapped her little hand with his big palm, and called softly: "Xiaozhu." ”

Feeling that the big hand was strong and firm, Lin Xiaozhu's heart was like hitting a deer, she lowered her head and said "um", which was considered a promise.

Yuan Tianye was about to speak, but he heard a sound from Shen Ziyi. When he turned his head, he saw that his originally sitting body moved, and it seemed that he was about to open his eyes in the next moment. I had to reluctantly let go of Lin Xiaozhu's hand, reached out and touched the robe next to the fire, and said softly: "You find a place, change my outer robe, take off the wet clothes and dry them." ”

"yes, okay." Lin Xiaozhu stood up with a slightly red face, picked up the robe, and walked to the other side of the tree to light a fire. Then after hesitating for a while, seeing that Yuan Tianye had walked to Shen Ziyi's side and talked to him, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the position where the two were sitting was facing away from her, she quickly ran to a bush, changed her wet clothes with her hands and feet, and put on Yuan Tianye's robe.

Although Yuan Tianye kissed her twice impulsively, and his actions just now were quite ambiguous, she believed that he was a decent gentleman and would not take this opportunity to force her. At this time, keeping your body from getting sick is the most important thing, and if you are shy or something, you can't care about it.

Yuan Tianye was tall, his robe was naturally long and big, and Lin Xiaozhu wore it on his body, empty, and dragged it to the ground. She folded the excess a few times, tied it tightly with her belt, and then lifted her garment to the branch and set it up by her fire.

Finally dried the clothes, and then changed back, stretched out her head to see that Yuan Tianye had dried and put on all the dirty clothes on her body, so she returned there with peace of mind, and said happily: "Yi Gongzi, are you okay?" ”

"Alright." Shen Ziyi turned his head and smiled, "This time, thanks to Lord Yi." He added, "Lin Xiaozhu, am I particularly useless?" ”

"You haven't suffered since you were a child, so you're naturally different from us." Lin Xiaozhu smiled and handed the robe to Yuan Tianye.

"Alas......" Shen Ziyi sighed, looking very devastated.

"Alright, let's go. Hopefully I can find someone before dark. Yuan Tianye took the robe and put it on, and stood up.

Shen Ziyi also stood up, and looking at his face and movements, he knew that he was completely well. (To be continued)
