"Hmm... Don't think about things you don't understand, you can't figure it out after thinking about it, it's better to put it down for a while and do something else. Xuan comforted.

Mo Shuang took a deep breath and nodded, "I'll call someone to fetch water to take a bath, and you stay in the room." So he went out.

Xuan sat on the bed boredly, looking at the Hui Yun bag and rune paper that Mo Shuang gave him during the day, and his heart was moved but he frowned. He took out two long thorns from the sac, one he had held and one from the hole, and placed them side by side on the table, staring blankly at the one with a gap somewhere.

He remembered that Han had broken his vertebrae when he had fled with him for his life, caused by him accidentally rolling down a hillside many years ago when they were hiding from hunters.

In the lush forest, the noisy chirping of summer cicadas comes and goes. Two thin teenagers were running in the woods, sweating profusely, looking panicked, they were out of breath, but they were still willing to expend their energy to keep looking back.

This was followed by a roar behind them, and the opposite of the teenager's panic was their excitement.

"There! Ran over there, chase!"

"I see it, there!"

"Release!

"Hound dog, go over!"

......

That's it, being chased. Dodge behind and sometimes [shoot] out of the crossbow [arrow; Race with hounds... The two of them have been running for a day and two nights.

"I can't do it anymore... I can't run. I... I really... I can't run..."The cold panted and put his hands on his knees, feeling like he was about to die.

Xuan's state was also not much better, but he didn't say a word, and pulled Han up.

"Let's go!" Xuan let out a loud shout, dragged the cold and ran forward, but the soil was slippery, and the two of them were exhausted, one accidentally stepped on the air, and then only heard two exclamations, and the two of them rolled down the high slope at the same time. And this roll is the darkness of rolling.

"They're down there!" The pursuing hunters still had no intention of sparing the two teenagers, and after a moment's hesitation, they ordered the hounds to pursue them while they began to slow down.

It didn't take long to roll on the high slope, and the two of them felt that their bodies were beginning to take off, and they felt dizzy, only to feel that they had lost their dependence, floating in the sky, but this feeling was not wonderful after their minds cleared up a little, because they were falling, and below was an abyss, how deep it was, they didn't know, the fog was very thick, and they couldn't see clearly.

With the ensuing exclamation, the two disappeared into the dense fog under the cliff.

The expressions of the people who came down as the hounds pursued them were annoyed.

"Boss, I'm afraid they'll fall, we can't chase it," a hunter asked, touching the sweat on his head, looking at the clouds and mist under the cliff.

The leader glanced around at the surrounding mountain scenery and said in a deep voice: "Let Cui Huo go down first, and explore the depths!"

So the person next to him immediately picked up two Cui fires and lit them and threw them down the cliff.

In an instant, Cui Huo's bright yellow light penetrated the thick mist and shot down the cliff, only to gradually extinguish after a short time.

"Boss, it depends on the situation, it's not too [deep!] The person who shook Cui Huo said with certainty.

The leader nodded, and said to the people behind him, "It's not deep enough for them to drink a pot." Brothers! We've been looking for more than a month, and now we're all in our hands! Everyone, work hard, come down with me!"

Everyone agreed in unison. Subsequently, the group of people gathered ropes, hooks, and other objects, and descended the mountain one after another.

I don't know how long it took, Xuan woke up slowly, and when he woke up, he only felt that he was pressing something, and he moved his body, and there was some pain. As he gritted his teeth and got up to look around, he finally noticed the cold that was crushing him under him.

Han's face was pale, and the corners of his mouth were oozing blood.

"You... You okay... I... I didn't mean to, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" As he spoke, Xuan wanted to pull him.

Han shook his head slightly, and said weakly and sadly: "You run... They're coming down... Leave me alone. ”

Xuan listened to it and said in horror, "I'll carry you, I'll carry you with you!"

However, when Xuan helped Han, he found that there was a sharp convex stone under his waist.

"Don't... It's laborious... My leg... Unconscious. I'm going to drag you down, you go!" Cold and difficult road.

Xuan, did not give up Han, he still tried hard to carry him, but he was exhausted, and he couldn't carry the thin boy in front of him no matter what at the moment.

"If you do this, we will all die!" Han seemed to suddenly gather the strength of his whole body and roared: "You go quickly... I'm here, and they're taking me... If you catch it, you may not be cared for anymore! They didn't catch anything, and they'll keep looking for us... Don't you understand the truth that hunters never return empty-handed!"

"But... But you!" Xuan tears rained down, feeling that a natural disaster was coming, but he was powerless and pitiful and hateful.

"If you can escape one is one, you go... If... There will be a chance in the future... Join the Rebels... Get rid of this life..."Han seemed to resign himself to his fate, lying quietly, and his eyes began to become hollow.

"You—" Before Xuan could say anything, he heard footsteps coming this way. After being in a dilemma for a moment, he still gave up on the cold and fled alone.

In the foggy night, a thin young man lay motionless on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. When the hunters followed the hound to it with torches, it quietly closed its eyes and waited for death to come.

"Shhhh And one of the hunters, looking around with a torch.

"Don't look for it, you must have run away. The other hunter wiped his sweat and said, "But one is fine, anyway, a sum of money has been received, and the brothers can rest for a month." ”

The leader nodded and said, "The big guy is also tired, tie up this class, and rest separately, and go back tomorrow!" turned to a black-faced man and said, "Lao Chang, come and take charge of the goods." ”

After that, Lao Chang came over, carefully observed and turned Han's body, knocked and groped on him from time to time, and after looking at a cup of tea, he said to the leader: "You can't do fine carving, you can barely do rough carving." Ling bone spurs can be used, but if you knock the tip of the stone, there may be a little flaw. ”

"Hey, I've been chasing for so long, I'm an inferior person!" Several hunters became dissatisfied, and there was a burst of scolding.

The leader waved his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet: "Recently, the class is not so easy to catch, even if it is low-grade goods, the price of black market shipments is not low." It's enough for my brothers to eat for a month or two. Lao Chang, after I go back, let's see how to divide it, Ling bone spurs are sold alone, bile is used as medicine, and the skin of the body is stripped off and sold, in short, try to divide it as much as possible, and earn one more point is one point!"

"Don't worry, boss!" Lao Chang nodded, and looked confidently at the motionless class on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Xuan only felt a strong hand pinch his shoulder. He snapped back to his senses and wiped the tears that had fallen from the corners of his eyes.

"It's okay... Big brother, thank you for what you gave me during the day..."Xuan looked at Moshuang's angular and handsome face, and inexplicably felt a trace of relief, "I... I want to give you something too. ”

Ink Frost put down her hand and said with some surprise, "What is it?"

Xuan turned around and picked up the Ling bone spur he had used before on the table, handed it to Mo Shuang, and said sincerely: "Please don't dislike it... This is the highest thank you in our class..."

Mo Shuang looked at the Ling bone spur in front of him carefully, but did not take it, he shook his head slightly and said, "This is your backbone." ”

"Yes, but it's also the highest thank you gift for my clan. We will extract the backbone of our deceased loved ones and bury the rest of them, because we believe that the spine is the source of life, and only with it can the protection of loved ones not leave. ”

"Then you still give it to me" Ink Frost was puzzled.

"Because... I want to protect this for you..."Xuan pursed his lips for a long time before he spat out these words.

Ink Frost was silent, and after a moment he took the thorn and thanked him.

He carefully put the thorn into the Hui Yun bag, looked at the young man, and then looked at the thorn on the table, sighed lightly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't think too much about the past." Rest early. ”

With that, he went to bathe in the room.

However, after bathing, I still saw that the boy was motionless.

Mo Shuangqi said: "Not sleepy"

“... It's not..."Xuan turned his head, a little wooden, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I... Where to sleep..."

"Sleeping naturally in bed. Ink Frost replied without hesitation.

"That's... Big brother... Where are you sleeping?" Xuan asked again.

"I also sleep in bed. Ink Cream looked at the very spacious bed, and without waiting for Xuan's reaction, she went to bed by herself.

"......" Xuan looked at the man who had finished taking a bath and was wearing single pants like this, lying on the bed naked. Thinking that he finally didn't have to sleep on the cold ground, he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy, but he was inexplicably a little shy when he looked at Ink Cream.

"Hey... What am I afraid of... I'm not a big girl...," Xuan struggled in his heart, "but I'm not a man. Big brother is so good, and he won't do anything to me... Besides, the identities are different, and it is impossible to... Oh! What are you thinking? Didn't you see it all in the Idle Villa! He's a man who doesn't know anything about men and women... What do I have to be nervous about!" Still thinking about it, I only heard the sound of slightly heavy breathing and remembered, thinking that Ink Cream was really tired and already asleep.

...... Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and after washing, he gently climbed to the inside of the big bed, and after helping the ink cream cover the quilt, he lay down and looked sideways at the man who was sleeping peacefully, with a little sadness in his eyes.

The next day, the two got up early in the morning, and after having a hasty breakfast, they went to the street to buy some food and various utensils, and put them in Huiyun's bag to prepare for departure.

"Hui Yun Bag, are you used to using it?" Mo Shuang walked in front and asked Xuan behind him with a slight tilt of his head.

"Well, thank you, brother. Xuan said sincerely, after hesitating for a moment, he walked a few steps quickly to catch up with the tall man in front of him, pulled the hem of the man's clothes, and pleaded a little: "Big brother... The towns and tribes in the back have all raised breeders..."

Ink Frost dragged Xuan to walk a few steps before stopping, and said slowly after a moment of silence: "Do you like that?"

"Hmm" Xuan looked up and looked at the man's deep eyes with his big blue eyes.

"Do you like to be like them, being led, leashed, and grabbing pet food with cats and dogs?" said Ink Frost with a bowed head.

“...... No class would like it. Xuan's hand holding the hem of the ink frost clothes tightened, avoiding the man's gaze, and sighed softly: "However, many people think you are very strange along the way, and I am also very strange." It's not good to be too ostentatious. ”

Until now, during the time when the two were talking, there were still many people paying attention to the two people.

"I don't like to treat you like a dog. After dropping a sentence lightly, Ink Frost turned to leave.

Xuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately got up to catch up after reacting. He only felt the sharp and hot gazes of the hundred and ten people, which made him a little unbearable. However, he can not care about such a gaze, but Mo Shuang, who looks quite status, should not not care!

When he arrived in a slightly secluded alley, Xuan stopped Ink Frost again.

"I'm thankful to Big Brother. It's just that I can ignore other people's gazes, but you can't!" Xuan looked at the man and said firmly, "That boss is right, there are many people with ill intentions, if you want to spread rumors and make trouble, and lean you on the rebels, it will bring you and your family a big [trouble!]

Mo Shuang glanced at Xuan and said lightly: "I said, I don't like it; ”

"What do you mean," Xuan said strangely.
