The Ugly Duckling Meets the Prince of Dark Horses (7)

didn't follow, Yunxi didn't be idle, picked up some dry branches under the big tree and spread them on the ground, and after a while, Jiang Cheng led a pheasant and two or three hares back, Yunxi looked at him with wide eyes, is the CEO so versatile now, one has no tools and the other is not familiar with the environment, can hunt so many things, Yunxi's surprised eyes made Jiang Cheng very useful, and he threw things to the ground

"Make your own food, make it and call me, and bake the rest into jerky"

Yunxi looked at the animal without a trace of blood on the ground and turned over, could this person be pinched to death directly, Yunxi looked up

"But there is no fire, what should I do" Jiang Cheng directly had a headache and threw out the lighter, but Yun Xi was used to it and couldn't make a fire, and besides, she was going to use this branch as a bed, Jiang Chen directly grabbed it two or three times and raised the fire

"What do you say you're for," she couldn't help but say angrily

"I'll pick up firewood."

"......" Jiang Cheng

There was no water to brush the fur, Jiang Cheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with her and directly found a stream to finish, and in the end, he used a branch to plug it and roast it directly, Yunxi hummed and waited on the side, the gastric juice overflowed and made her saliva drip, Jiang Cheng was doing hard labor with a gloomy face, and he didn't sleep.

The two of them were full of Jiang Cheng and rested for a while and began to hurry, the mountains and forests in the day are beautiful, with natural wilderness, the lush woods are refreshing, this will be the two of them going down the mountain and shuttling in the jungle, Yunxi asked questions and his voice was dumb, and Jiang Cheng only answered one sentence when he asked three sentences, considering that she no longer talked nonsense when she had no water to drink, she gritted her teeth and walked and stopped and entered the night.

In the evening, Yun Xi gathered around the fire to take care of the boiling medicine, Jiang Cheng, who was stronger than himself in this barren mountain, actually caught a cold, and suddenly became so sick that Yun Xi had no choice but to find a few herbs to help him boil medicine, after all, he had no food source when something happened to him, and he still remembered Jiang Cheng's surprised look when she picked herbs.

Boiling Chinese medicine is an energy-consuming job, and it didn't take long for Yunxi to start drowsy, this body is really poor, and it is easy to faint at every turn. The mountain wind at night was fierce, the flowers and plants in the wind were blown whirring, and the rock corner was rolled into a wisp of breeze at some point, and it was swept into the rocks to disperse the rhyme and sleepiness, and Jiang Cheng on the side was also woken up by the cold, both of them woke up and looked at each other, and the cold mountain forest seemed to be difficult to sleep.

Yunxi stirred the medicinal juice, and suddenly felt the itch on the back of his neck and scratched it with his hands, but the tentacles were cold, Yunxi looked up at the sky, is it raining? Jiang Cheng's eyes were not so weird under the firelight, but a pair of half-purple eyes suddenly stared closely behind Yun Xi, this scene made Yun Xi's scalp tingle when he just raised his head, what kind of monster is there? Jiang Cheng's eyes were dyed with fear, neither of them moved rashly, Yunxi's heart trembled, and her voice trembled, "What's wrong with you~?" ”

However, Jiang Cheng didn't reply, the cold night made the atmosphere a little tense, Jiang Cheng must have seen something, thinking about the coolness of the tentacles just now, Yunxi's neck shrank and asked in a low voice, "What is it, is it a bear or a wolf, or a snake?" Where is it, how far away is it?"

Although I know that I will inevitably encounter some dangerous animals in the barren mountains and mountains, it is still frightening to encounter them, and Yunxi thinks of using fire to wonder if she can drive them away. Jiang Cheng's frightened eyes stared at her tightly without blinking, from behind Yunxi to her neck and then to her head, Yunxi only felt a chill and other senses had lost consciousness, could it be a snake? Is she going to finish, Yun Xi was already cold in her heart, Jiang Cheng suddenly asked her in a low and trembling voice, "Can you come over?" Yunxi came back to his senses and walked over? To put it mildly, if it is a snake that doesn't move on its own, will it be over? She couldn't help but suspect that Jiang Cheng had the heart to let her run away on her back, and her eyes were cold

"How can I move, what the hell is it, if the snake comes over and helps me pick up a branch, Jiang Cheng, if you are still a man, don't be so cowardly, if I want to die here, you may not be able to escape"

If it was a snake, he could have run, and if the other two people had to die. Jiang Cheng pursed his lips, his expression was a little anxious, and he didn't know how to explain it to this damn woman. The scene in Jiang Cheng's eyes was far more terrifying than Yun Xi thought, after a while, Yun Xi's legs were already numb, and her eyes stared at this timid man, but the imaginary pain did not come for a long time, and her body seemed to be warmer, Yun Xi decided to turn her head to see whether she was dead or alive, but Jiang Cheng suddenly stepped forward to support the back of her head and "don't look back" Leaving the firelight's eyes were purple, staring at her heart tight

"What the hell is there, don't pretend to be a ghost, okay" The cold wind blew again, Jiang Cheng lowered his head and scolded damn it

"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere, it's not safe here"

Pulling Yunxi and turning around, he didn't care about the medicinal juice that was still boiling behind him, the wind blew, blowing out the jumping fire. Yunxi couldn't see it, she saw that there was nothing behind her, only the continuous peaks, she really didn't know what was behind just now, Jiang Cheng pulled her faster and faster and finally trotted up, the two ran along the path, Yunxi saw that he was so impatient that his forehead was sweating, only to realize that Jiang Cheng was afraid of something, and couldn't help but think of the fact that some big families would raise fierce beasts in ancient times.

His face changed and he quickened his pace and ran after him, what scared him must have been something very threatening. The two of them hurried all the way to the big tree where they rested during the day before stopping, and they didn't know why they came to the same place twice, but Yunxi believed that it must not be a coincidence, could it be that Jiang Cheng did it on purpose, maybe this is a place where fierce beasts can't come? Yunxi is physically exhausted, and his head can no longer think of problems

The two leaned on the side of the road panting, Jiang Cheng was still looking around vigilantly, Yunxi sat down directly, picked up the dead branches of the day and prepared to make a fire, Jiang Cheng turned around and grabbed her

"Don't make a fire" voice was low and hoarse

"Why?" Yunxi looked at him strangely, what would it be like to live in the cold at night

"It's easy to attract beast poison when you make a fire, just listen to me" Did he hear it wrong or did he say it wrong, beasts love fire? What did the human ancestors rely on to drive away the beasts, Yunxi was speechless. After thinking about it, I put down the branches

"Yes, listen to you, you know better, then may I ask if we both catch a cold at night and wait for death together tomorrow?" Yun Xi threw the branch and crossed his waist, Jiang Cheng was no longer able to care about her attitude, he looked around very cautiously

"It's okay, we'll sleep on the tree tonight, it won't be cold, just don't make a fire"

Yunxi looked up at the branches above his head, it was the height that he could reach, forget it, sleep on the tree, if you encounter a beast, you won't be eaten at once, and I believe that Jiang Cheng must have done research before coming, he is a very life-saving person, maybe the beast just likes fire and can't climb trees, it's not strange that the habits of beasts in human captivity are abnormal, and the test of the Jiang family is really cruel.

Yunxi has heard many secrets in ancient times, and there are many people who die in the family test of the intrigue heir, and the so-called test may also be a life talisman, so it is better to be careful in everything.

The two of them climbed to a high place in three or two, Yunxi quickly fell asleep, but Jiang Cheng couldn't sleep, his purple eyes stared at the sleeping Yunxi, and it was very strange in the dark. Jiang Cheng, who had stayed up for half the night, woke up refreshed, and most of the cold was cured, on the contrary, Yunxi had a sore back, and he didn't know if it was because he was too burp on the sleeping branches or because he ran too much yesterday, so after finishing breakfast with jerky, the two started their trip again.

According to Jiang Cheng, there are still two mountains from the camp, each mountain has to walk from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and it is considered to be passed when it reaches the foot of the mountain, and each mountain has a different test waiting, there will be danger, but it is not fatal.

Yunxi made a bitter face, it is really strange that there is such a strange way to choose an heir in modern times, isn't the enterprise now the most economical, this makes it like choosing the head of martial arts, only the first mountain is going to run away with half a life, I don't know how many strange things are behind, I don't know if this is to choose an heir or to survive in the wild.

She really wanted to pick her son and leave, but she could only think about it, now she can't leave Jiang Cheng, and she probably can't get out, and there are beasts, fortunately, her parents have no worries when they are sent out in this body, and she will not make Jiang Cheng feel better if she has three long and two short, businessmen are calculating, no wonder they agreed when they talked about the conditions, it turned out that they had to follow if they didn't follow.

The two of them finally climbed the second mountain before evening, this mountain was bare compared to the lush greenery of the previous one, and the land was full of burnt yellow leaves and charcoal, Jiang Cheng said that a few months ago there was a fire here that burned the whole mountain, and I don't know if it was true or not, this fire burned so that there were no sprouting plants on the ground, there was no green everywhere, and it was extremely depressing under the heavy sky.

Yesterday the sun was shining, but today it was cloudy, Yunxi passed by the scorched black land and couldn't help but speed up the pace, the two of them had nothing to say all the way to the dark, except for the rocks on the hillside is the scorched grass, many trees are dry and standing aside, the ruins are like the last struggle of the forest fire, because they know that there must be no food in this scorched mountain, so both of them are trying their best to move forward.

After walking for most of the night, this time I didn't find any beasts, and in the middle of the night, Yunxi slept on a dead tree as usual. She didn't sleep very well tonight, not only was the branch too brittle for fear of falling, but also the wind was whistling and her body was also frozen, and a loud roar suddenly woke up the night, Yunxi sat up, turned her head and saw Jiang Cheng looking at herself, stunned for a moment, and asked him

"Did you hear anything?" Jiang Cheng sat motionless on the tree, and Yunxi couldn't see his expression clearly in the dark

"Hey, speak, did you also hear something, there are fierce beasts on this mountain in your house?" Yunxi began to move towards him, if he was in danger, he would have to drag him to death, the scorched branches were trampled on and crackled, Jiang Cheng suddenly turned his head and looked at Yunxi who walked to his side, "It's okay, you are sleeping well next to me, I'll guard" uh!! Yunxi stayed for a few seconds, he had such a good heart? I have to be vigilant

"Why don't you sleep, is there any danger?" "Noise" Jiang Cheng whispered, "Listen to me, sleep, otherwise we will all be trapped here if you can't walk tomorrow, as long as you know that you are still in the test, I won't harm you, your life is not so valuable"

, the old lady is not more valuable than you, I am not afraid of being a victim of your test, you can't say a word if you don't make noise for a long time, Yunxi muttered in her heart and really fell asleep, Jiang Cheng's bright eyes kept staring at the bright light in the distance.

"Wake up, wake up, Cheng Xiaoyin, wake up"
