The Ugly Duckling Meets the Prince of Dark Horses (6)

The moon is hidden and the stars are sparse, the shadows of the trees are mottled, and in the dead of night on the hillside is the figure rushing back and forth, surrounded by tents of different sizes, a slender man is snuggling by the campfire and smoking, his casual trousers and jacket are covered with dust, his eyes are picked by the firelight, his lazy posture contrasts with the busy people around him, he took another puff of cigarette "It should be almost there" The voice is different from the clear appearance of the appearance,

Behind him, a burly man in a suit walked up

"I just called, and I'm at the bottom of the mountain, sir."

Jiang Xu threw the cigarette butt into the fire, turned over and got up quickly, "Let's go, let's go and greet it, it's another terrifying night, hehe." The two of them walked down like a flying mountain.

In the car, Yunxi sat next to Jiang Cheng, the atmosphere was frozen under the dim lighting, and he could only hear the long and rapid breathing of the people next to him, and Yunxi felt a trace of tension. She didn't know why the place she was coming to was on the hillside at night, but she had already chosen to retreat, the mountain road outside the window was undulating as if it would never come to an end, and the car stopped in a drowsy way, Yunxi raised her eyes to see that the surrounding scene was no longer a mountain road, but a brightly lit avenue, not far away around the campfire tent, Jiang Cheng beside him had opened the door and walked down, Jiang Xu bent down beside the car

"Sister-in-law, get out of the car, I'm waiting for you"

He has a warm and friendly tone, but Yunxi feels inexplicable, and he is not familiar with him. The mountain wind blew through the skin with a trace of cold moisture, and the wind rose in the cold mountain, Yun Xi gathered the knitted shirt on his body, and followed the pace of Jiang Cheng into the most central tent

The white weaving lamp in the tent is strong, and a big table is placed in the center under the illumination of the light, and all kinds of meat, vegetables and fruits are placed on the table, which is delicate and attractive. With doubts, Yunxi stood beside Jiang Cheng, the strange and strange combination of the decaying tablet and the tent made Yunxi feel a little gloomy, how could the ancestral land of the Jiang family be on a barren mountain?

Hearing Jiang Xu shouting outside, the people who came in the tent walked in twos and threes, and the people who came were all calm, not young, and wearing uniform Tang costumes as if they were going to perform some ceremony. About a dozen of them stood still and began to hit the instrument in their hands, there were words in their mouths, Jiang Cheng lowered his eyes and listened, no one explained anything to her, Yunxi's head buzzed suddenly, different from the Xuanyin that he heard when he accompanied the nobles to the Buddhist temple, this sound exploded in her head, and she fainted.

Jiang Cheng looked down, turned his head and continued to listen with a normal expression, Yunxi was groggy, and his consciousness kept echoing the timbre of Nafei fans, and when he opened his eyes, he suddenly met a pair of deep eyes, which were cold and focused, making Yunxi feel furious

"Are you awake? Do you want to rest again?"

The cold tone was Jiang Cheng's voice, Yun Xi had not eased up, and looked blankly at the surrounding tent, which was no longer brightly lit, the surrounding weeds were overgrown, the tall trees did not see a trace of light, and in the darkness, only the sound of insects chirping and the shining eyes of the people beside him could be heard. Yun Xi almost screamed, the creepy crystal made her nerves tense, and she looked at Jiang Cheng nervously, Jiang Cheng lowered his head and coughed

"Ahem, don't be afraid, my eyes are born like this, the darker it is, the more obvious it is, if you have a good rest, we will start to hurry, I forgot to tell you that this is the Jiang family's test for me, as long as we find the way back to the camp, we will pass"

He coughed a few times in a low voice, Yunxi found that his momentum was weaker than usual, and he spoke kindly, Xu was a stranger in a strange and dark environment, but the first time he saw him, he was also in the dark.

Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, a pair of eyes was nothing to be afraid of, and sighed, "How did I faint, where is this." How are we going back, why do you still have to take me with you for your family's test, what kind of test? ”

Yunxi was now full of questions, but Jiang Cheng ignored her and stood up on her own, a pair of eyes came over again, I have to say that a pair of ghostly eyes in a dark place are really terrifying

"This is our Jiang family's land, every Jiang family's heir has come here to pass a test, everyone's test is different, you are my destined person, I naturally have to take you, so I don't know the content of the test."

After saying that, Yun Xi avoided his eyes, "You will always know what you will encounter, you always have to tell me, I won't hold you back in case of danger, and you haven't told me what the test is, I have to add conditions"

I know that it's not just as simple as coming to a place, the Jiang family is really cold-blooded, and they are all dragged to the test, and they don't worry about dragging down the heir? Or maybe this is what Jiang Cheng meant? Yunxi's eyes swept over, Jiang Cheng glared at her, and a trace of worry flashed in her purple eyes

"Now that you're resting, let's go on the road, follow me, it's none of my business to fall off the road"

Strode forward directly, only the place where Jiang Cheng went was a little bright in the dark night, and the wind was blowing. Yun Xi hurriedly followed, this person really didn't want to say more, since he let himself come with him definitely for a purpose, his life mattered, Yun Xi hurried to fall far behind him, the two of them walked for almost two hours, and they hadn't walked out of this mountain forest, the dim space magnified people's senses, Jiang Cheng was walking like flying in front, but Yun Xi was about to lose half of his life, the roar of insects and beasts increased people's fear, and her body was really unbearable to travel quickly at night.

Yunxi raised his voice and shouted, "Hey, I can't walk anymore, Jiang Cheng, do you want to rest and go down, find a place to lean on, wouldn't it be better to find a way during the day?" ”

Okay~Okay~Okay~ There was a hollow echo in the mountains and forests, and the tone of a woman's gentle sigh became low, giving people goosebumps. Jiang Cheng stopped, turned his head and swept towards her with a pair of purple lights, but was shaken for a moment but saw him suddenly waving to her and running over, Yun Xi stood still and then felt the cold wind on her back, Xu is Jiang Cheng's panicked behavior prompted her to turn her head slowly, thinking that she was unlucky to encounter some fierce beast, and was ready to flee for her life, but when she turned around, she saw that it was just a stump standing alone behind her, Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief, her wrist suddenly cooled, and she ran forward quickly with one hand, but it was Jiang Cheng, Yun Xi wanted to break free but was staggered by running away, unable to say a word, only a rapid gasp

If you want to find the camp, shouldn't you run down the mountain, Jiang Cheng took her to run up the mountain, and was carried away from the avenue, and finally fainted in the grass because of his lack of physical strength, Jiang Cheng didn't stop and picked her up and continued to run, and he didn't know what was behind him, in the dark jungle, he was like a cheetah, running with Yunxi on his back for almost a night, his face was not tired at all, and even his breath was very long, and finally he came to a thick tree through the grass, he put Yunxi down, and he sat aside and closed his eyes to recuperate.

The sky was bright in a blink of an eye, a touch of purple light in the grass was fleeting, Yunxi was awakened by the bright light, her eyes were dazzling, the sun had risen in the middle of her leaning against the tree, and she remembered that she fainted last night. Turning his head, he saw Jiang Cheng leaning against the tree with his eyes closed, and his sore legs were a little melancholy under Yunxi's activities. Thinking back to his previous lives, he had never been so sad, although there were difficult times, but it was not like now that everything was controlled by others, the endless grassland in front of him seemed to be far away from the woods last night, and he didn't know what Jiang Cheng ran last night, only when he woke up and asked, Yunxi was a little hungry, and the habit of eating on time that she had developed in several lifetimes felt extremely uncomfortable when she was not on time, but she didn't know where to find food in this barren mountain and wild range.

So she moved to the side and pushed Jiang Cheng, "Hey, hey Jiang Cheng, wake up" A pair of deep eyes opened leisurely, without the haze of waking up at all, looking at her coldly, waking him up Yunxi didn't feel a little guilty

"Jiang Cheng, what should I do if I'm hungry?" Jiang Cheng was so angry that he was already a little helpless

"Hungry and not dead, endure"

"But if I'm hungry, I'm going to die" Yunxi touched her stomach helplessly, Jiang Cheng really couldn't stand this difficult woman

"You can't let me sleep a little longer, I'm also tired after running all night last night; Trouble is dead, wait, I'll find you something to eat" said and stood up angrily and walked towards the woods next to the grass, "Hey" Yunxi wanted to call him to go with him, but this person disappeared in three or two clicks, how did he get food on this barren mountain, and he could at least recognize the non-toxic wild fruit by following him.
