CHAPTER XXIII

I don't know why, looking at this firm look, Xu Yi inexplicably surged with a wave of trust.

"Okay."

After the young man finished speaking, he turned his head and went deeper into the forest, Xu Yi didn't dare to fall asleep at the moment, and the experience of several days made her have to be vigilant at all times.

Not long after, the boy came back with some water from a smooth leaf and handed the leaf containing the water to Xu Yi.

"Drink."

After all, he had been exposed to the scorching sun for so long, and Xu Yi was naturally thirsty at this moment, holding the leaves, Xu Yi drank it without hesitation.

The dry throat was finally soothed at this moment, and Xu Yi sighed in satisfaction.

The boy also sat down slowly against a big tree at this moment.

The sunlight passed through the wide leaves and thick branches, leaving only a few small patches of light on the ground, and just as a gust of wind blew, the wide leaves were blown to a rustle, but in such a quiet environment, it brought people a kind of peace of mind for no reason.

Xu turned his head sideways, and the young man who sat down bent one leg, his hand drooped on his knee, and the other leg was placed on the ground at will, tilting his head slightly, his eyes were already closed.

At this moment, he seems to be alone, a chivalrous man walking the rivers and lakes, cold and arrogant and lonely.

After watching it for a while, Xu Yi finally couldn't resist his tiredness, closed his eyelids, and fell asleep.

Quiet space, quiet two, Er, a few bird calls came from nowhere, but they didn't disturb the two at all, at this moment, the two seemed to belong to this place, without the slightest abruptness.

I don't know how long I slept.

"Hmm......" As if something was smashing at him, Xu Yi, who was sleeping, was suddenly awakened.

I saw that the young man was holding the cyan fruit and throwing it on himself, and Xu Yi, who was still awake and still had wet eyes, raised his head with a little doubt, as if he was considering whether to ask the young man what he thought.

Before Xu Yi could speak, the young man seemed to feel something.

"Eat the stuff and keep walking."

"Oh." Xu Yi, who was only fully awake at this moment, replied while picking up the fruit that had slipped from his body from his leg, rubbing it on his body casually, and sending it to his mouth.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Yi still spoke: "Will they still chase after them?" ”

After all, they've come a long way, and if those people can't catch up with them, they should be able to walk slower.

"Yes." The answer was yes, but Xu Yi was not so worried.

As long as they find a home, they can connect with people, and if they reach people, they will definitely be able to get out.

Not daring to delay, Xu Yi quickly finished solving the wild fruit in his hand, then stood up and patted his clothes. "I'm all right."

Seemingly satisfied with Xu Yi's attitude, the young man squinted at Xu Yiyi

Eye.

"Hmm."

After speaking, he threw a long stick to Xu Yi.

"Pathfinder." With that, he walked forward.

Xu Yi took the stick and flicked it, and then followed the young man with the stick.

Sure enough, the deeper he went, the more weeds there weeded, the denser they became, and they were already able to cover Xu Yi's knees in the back.

Use a long stick to brush aside the thorns hidden in the weeds, and accidentally get a hot pain from the skin that hangs on it.

Xu Yi didn't say anything, after all, it was just a skin injury, and what was more important than this was to escape from the palms of those people first.

The sun was setting as we kept hurrying, but before evening, there were a few rumbling noises in the sky, mixed with a few bolts of lightning.

After a while, dark clouds were thick, as if heavy rain was about to fall in an instant.

The young man's face was gloomy and he cursed, so he had to speed up his pace and find a place to shelter from the rain and spend the night.

Going around and around, the two finally found a shade before the rain fell.

It was a large hollow tree hole, and there was still some space left after the two of them hid, and the entrance to the hole had long been blocked by a few wide leaves to prevent the rain from drifting in.

But because of this, there was not a single light in the hollow.

The rain outside the tree hole rattled.

As if he wanted to reduce his uneasiness a little by speaking, Xu Yi, who was hesitating, finally spoke: "Why are you in this place?" ”

This place is obviously so remote, and even every household is so rare, Xu Yi doesn't understand why the boy is here.

Time ticked by, and just when Xu Yi thought that the young man would not answer her, a flat voice suddenly sounded: "Here, it used to be the place where my grandfather lived when he was a child. ”

"He said he wanted to come back and see."

Xu Yi's eyes lit up: "Then he's here too?" ”

"He's gone."

"So I came to see it for him." The boy's tone was calm, as if there was no emotion.

But Xu Yi could feel the sorrow lingering around him.
