Volume 2: Cinnabar on the Heart Chapter 196 The Strange Man

Seeing Shangguan Jingyu smiling and not answering, Li Yi's face tightened, and he felt an unnatural embarrassment. He smiled, "I'm just asking casually, you don't think you have ulterior motives, do you?" ”

Shangguan Jingyu didn't speak, and looked at him with a smile.

is so silent, but it makes Li Yi look a little embarrassed. This girl...... It's not easy!

"Rest early, recharge your energy, and have the strength to go out tomorrow." She let out a shallow breath and didn't say much, in the current situation, she was alone with him, and there was no need to provoke and question. Some words are too clear, which will inevitably make each other's situation more awkward.

To put it mildly, even if she had doubts, it shouldn't be now.

You must know that the person in front of you, even if she kills her here, no one knows.

Rather than this, it is better to protect yourself.

Because of the fire, even if it was cold at night, I could barely get through it. However, Shangguan Jingyu didn't dare to sleep, even if he closed his eyes, he would wake up and sleep for a while, for fear of change.

At night, she heard something strange around her, and her delicate eyebrows frowned slightly.

Footsteps came closer and closer, and then stopped beside me.

Smelling that breath, there is no doubt that Li Yi should be beside him.

What does he want? What is he going to do?

As soon as her heart tightened, Shangguan Jingyu's hand in her sleeve had already grasped the handle of the short blade, as long as he tried to do wrong, she would not hesitate to fight to the death. But...... But he didn't move.

A hand touched her ankle slightly, and the pain made her gasp, but she still didn't move.

The footsteps faded away.

Her eyes finally opened, and there was no trace of Li Yi beside her, this person ...... Where will it go? Who the hell is he? Just a curious charlatan?

She didn't believe it!

Standing up and glancing at his ankles, Shangguan Jingyu frowned. About an hour or so, I saw Li Yi go and return. She could only continue to pretend to be asleep, pretending not to know anything.

Li Yi returned to her as usual, but this time, he directly held her ankle.

When it was too late, Shangguan Jingyu suddenly opened his eyes, and the short blade was instantly unsheathed, stabbing at his throat with unmistakable accuracy.

"Hey!" Li Yi let out a low snort, and his eyes quickly grabbed her wrist.

When the tip of the knife was only a millimeter away from his throat, it finally stopped, his eyes were red, and he was as cold as a blade, "I'm healing you!" ”

She looked down, and sure enough, she saw the mashed herbs in his hands, and on his hands, there were a few shallow scars from the thorns. Her pupils narrowed slightly, she pursed her lips, slowly withdrew her hand, and put the short blade back into its sheath, but she didn't say a word.

"Bear with me." Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "It may hurt a little." But your feet are swollen like this, and if they don't go down, I'm afraid that they will suppurate and turn into water. ”

"I'm fine." She said softly, not as cold as she had been before, "Thank you." ”

Li Yi looked at the herbs in his hand, "You don't want me to go out with you on your back tomorrow, right?" ”

She frowned slightly, if she was really seriously injured, it was indeed difficult to walk.

Seeing that she was silent, Li Yi took off her shoes and socks regardless of it, and was so startled that she hurriedly said, "I'll do it myself." ”

"Watch your eyes!" Li Yi snorted, tore a piece directly from the corner of his clothes, applied herbs to her ankles, and then wrapped them around the cloth strips. Suddenly, his eyes tightened in shock, as if he could see the soles of her feet......

"Alright." Shangguan Jingyu shrank his feet in pain, and the long trousers quickly covered his snow-white and flawless feet, "Thank you." ”

Li Yi was stunned, in the firelight, the beautiful woman's complexion was overwhelming, but with a coldness that rejected people. Except for the slight redness of the cheeks, there is no extra expression. She seems to have suppressed all her emotions in her heart, whether it hurts or hurts, she bears it all by herself. In front of outsiders, she wrapped herself tightly and did not allow anyone to come close to her world.

She quickly put on her shoes and socks, and never looked at him again.

Seeing this, Li Yi walked back to the side under the big tree, leaned against the trunk of the tree casually, and sat quietly. When he pinned his head to her, Shangguan Jingyu seemed to notice something, and turned his back directly, leaving him with a trace of his back.

Except for Joong-seok, she didn't want any man to touch her body. Even if she was injured, she didn't want to get too close to Li Yi. She only does herself, no matter what Li Yi thinks, she just resists.

I don't know where Li Yi found this herb, it's cool and cool, and it's very comfortable to apply to the wound. She squinted half-asleep until dawn.

The night was uneventful.

The early morning light fell through the treetops with difficulty, hitting her face, rippling with a delicate and transparent luster. The eyelashes drooped, and the shadows were mottled in the sunlight.

Opening his eyes, Shangguan Jingyu straightened up, stunned to find that Li Yi had already stood in front of him at some point. Stunned in his eyes, Shangguan Jingyu said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Where do you think it's better to go? So many roads? Li Yi looked at the three-way intersection in front of him in embarrassment.

When I came in last night, it was already late, and Shangguan Jingyu couldn't tell which way it was. Because each road looks very similar.

"Then go one by one, and there will always be one way out." She struggled to her feet.

"Do you still have your feet up?" Li Yi asked.

Shangguan Jingyu smiled and pointed to the road on the left, "Let's go this first." ”

Li Yi nodded, and then walked ahead.

Overgrown with weeds and thorns. Li Yi slashed the thorns with his sword as he walked forward. When he turned around, he saw Shangguan Jingyu holding a stone and carving something on the trunk of the tree, and couldn't help frowning, "What are you drawing?" ”

"If the road isn't right, we can go back the way we came." Shangguan Jingyu carefully carved a pattern on the trunk with a short blade. This pattern ......

"What are you drawing?" The light in Li Yi's eyes deepened a little, and his fingertips gently stroked the pattern she had just carved.

The pattern is very simple, with a circle on the outside and a triangle on the inside.

"Zongzi!" She glanced back at him, "Can't you see this?" ”

Li Yi was stunned, but she limped forward past him. Seeing that he was still stuck in place, looking at his pattern, Shangguan Jingyu frowned, "Don't leave yet?" Do you want to wait until it gets dark? ”

Hearing this, Li Yi narrowed his eyes, let out a long breath, and reluctantly pulled his lips and smiled, "You still know a lot." ”

She didn't say anything, she just walked on.

"Looks like you're very experienced in walking around the woods?" He asked.

Shangguan Jingyu turned his head to look at him, then shook his head, "I rarely go out." ”

"But you know how to make a mark." Li Yi looked a little excited.

She frowned at him, "Isn't that weird?" When you're away from home, it's common to make a mark. ”

That being said, but ......

Li Yi looked at her and continued to carve the pattern, and said, "This zongzi ......"

"Ugly?" She frowned and looked at him with a slight displeasure.

Li Yi pulled his lips and smiled a little shyly, "It's good-looking." ”

"False." She scoffed and walked on.

"Why don't I carry you?" He hurried forward.

Shangguan Jingyu was a little puzzled by his sudden courtesy. What's the matter with this man? Is it deliberately to please her and want to get closer? His words last night were clearly tentative, as if he was checking on her or some people around her. But now, it doesn't seem to be a spy.

Seeing that she was stunned, Li Yi smiled, "I'm just afraid that your legs will hurt and you won't be able to walk after a while, and if you delay the hour, it will be even more difficult to go out when it gets dark." I've been stuck here for so long, and I really don't want to stay any longer, don't get me wrong. ”

She nodded, only two words, "Let's go!" ”

Concise and to the point, no half-word nonsense.

Li Yi stood behind and looked at her slender back a little distracted. is so clear and weak that people want to hold it in their hands and take care of it, but there is unimaginable stubbornness in their bones.

"What are you looking at?" She paused and looked back, seeing that Li Yi was still standing in place, and she didn't care about him anymore, just continued to walk forward. But further on, it is a cliff, and there is no way out.

sighed lightly, it was the wrong choice.

She turned around and walked back, Li Yi didn't speak again, and followed her silently. Shangguan Jingyu didn't care about him anymore, just walked by himself, carving marks all the way.

Returning to the three-way intersection, Shangguan Jingyu sighed lightly, looked at the remaining two roads, and looked at the sky again, as if it was going to rain. It's damn weather!

She scolded in her heart, but she could only bite the bullet and pick another way.

But do you go forward or right?

Let's try to the right first.

She was just about to take a step, when Li Yi behind her suddenly grabbed her wrist, "Go forward!" ”

Shangguan Jingyu was stunned, "How do you know?" ”

Li Yi didn't tell the difference, he directly picked her up horizontally and walked forward quickly.

"You let go! Let me go! Shangguan Jingyu stretched out his hand and slapped a loud slap on Li Yi's face, and his eyes were almost red, "Put me down, let go!" ”

Maybe she was struggling too much, or Li Yi was stunned for a while, Shangguan Jingyu finally jumped out of his arms and limped forward.

"Without me, you can't get out of the goose and can't return." Behind him, Li Yi's voice was cold, but he said it categorically.
