Chapter 61, hello, Xu Zi'an
The starlight in the forest is like water, dyed green by spring, walking among the damp rotten leaves, it is inevitable that the green will be wet on the leaves, in the quiet moonlight, Xu Zi'an looks quite embarrassed.
But his eyes were brighter, brighter than the stars, brighter than the moonlight, and brighter than ever.
It's like two bright gold leaves.
This shows that although he is also tired now, he is very happy, very happy, happy and happy to cover the fatigue of running all the way, and to dye his hard heart, which seems to be invulnerable to wind and rain, with a lot of joy.
Maybe it's because it's a joy to be able to escape from the cliff, maybe it's a joy to find out that you're stronger than when you're afraid of the mountains, or maybe it's just because it's a joy to meet the girl Duoduo.
Rejoicing, being happy, and being together is a very happy thing.
Feeling the breath of the girl on his shoulder, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and the pick was not dominating, it was natural and pleasant.
His Royal Highness Duoduo was actually sober, but he didn't leave Xu Zi'an's shoulders, so he let him carry him all the way into the forest and across the river and over the mountains, which seemed a bit willful, because in the battle of the cliff during the day, Xu Zi'an's physical strength was also consumed, and these practices would bring him a greater burden, but she could feel that the young man was happy to continue to carry her, and she was also very willing to let the other party ......... Carrying.
The boy's shoulders weren't very broad and strong, but how could he be so comfortable when he got on his stomach?
Thinking of this, Duoduo secretly looked at Xu Zi'an's side face, looking at the clean and natural eyebrows, the more he looked at it, the more he felt reliable, the more he looked at it, the more he felt down-to-earth, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that his vision was really not too good.
Unlike Xu Zi'an, she really thought that it was just a coincidence that she met the other party, she happened to pass by the clean river, and happened to want to wash the mud on her face, and happened to see Xu Zi'an, who was unconscious in the river, and saw the other party's clean eyebrows, so she happened to save the other party.
She asked the other party to be her bodyguard, and the other party did not give her a verbal reply, but there is no doubt that the other party did a more perfect job than any bodyguard in the world.
Breaking umbrellas, cutting mountains, jumping off cliffs...... Then he ran between the cliffs, and along the way he walked through the mountains and into the forest, as well as on the way to escape...... Very interesting little trap, the other party seems to have many unknown secrets, she is also very curious, but although she is the noble princess of the dynasty, she is actually very well-behaved, knowing that everyone has some secrets in their hearts that they don't want to know, excessive curiosity and snooping will not increase the friendship between the two parties, on the contrary, it is easy to cause discomfort to the other party.
So she was very quiet along the way, except for a short rest on Xu Zi'an's shoulder when she was tired, she kept her big dexterous eyes open and looked at the starlight in the night in the distance, and the forest leaves that passed by nearby.
Fortunately, the leaves of Nandaoling are like its soft slopes, and they are not very cold when they pass by, but are as gentle as a spring breeze.
What's more, some of the harder branches and mountain winds in front of her have already been cut down and blocked by Xu Zi'an, leaving her with only some thin soft branches and unintentionally withered petals.
From day to night, they had escaped for many miles, Xu Zi'an's clothes and shoes were soaked with rotting leaves and soft mud, and they were a little sticky and cold against his body.
The night in the mountains, at any time, is colder than on the plains.
Looking up at the still distant stars above his head, Xu Zi'an silently calculated in his heart how much trouble those small traps on the road would bring to the other party and how much time they would buy, his heart was slightly relaxed, and his pace slowed down a little.
He is a very good hunter, and he is also a very calm and self-aware teenager, he knows very well that although those traps that are made casually do not seem to have much lethality, it is easy to disturb the judgment of the other party, the strength of the desolate warriors is arrogant, but the mind has never been high, without Qu He's wisdom and leadership, if you want to break those traps, it will definitely be delayed for a long time.
As for whether the other party will lose his direction, he has never had this luxury, the desolate tribe is born with the blood of brute beasts, and the sense of smell and vision are extremely sensitive, although he has been living in remote mountainous areas, and has no experience in dealing with the desolate tribe, but the desolate tribe and Da Li are world enemies, and there are often rumors about the desolate tribe in the streets and alleys, and he knows a little about it.
Looking for a wider place, Xu Zi'an put Duoduo down his shoulders, picked up some dry firewood to make a fire for heating, thought about it, and went into the forest to pick some wild fruits to clean them and handed them to Duoduo, signaling that if the girl is hungry, she can first use green fruits to fill her stomach.
Duoduo took the wild fruit, took a bite and found that the seemingly green wild fruit did not have any sourness, but was exceptionally sweet.
"This is a green orange, the taste is very sweet, but it should not be eaten too much, it is easy to become astringent after eating, and I am afraid of ............ It's rare to see it in the mountains near my hometown, but I didn't expect there to be so many here."
Suddenly remembering the identity of the other party, Xu Zi'an didn't say the word "Fear of Mountain", not that he was still wary of the girl, but that there were some things that did not allow him to be more cautious.
Fortunately, Duoduo was fighting the fiercest battle with Qingcheng at this time, and she didn't notice Xu Zi'an's small abnormality.
After eating several green oranges in a row, Duoduo was satisfied with the sweetness that happened to arrive on the tongue bud, looked at Xu Zi'an with a smile, and said suddenly.
"I can't see that you are such a person"
Such a person......... What kind of people? simple good guy or bad guy, or more complicated good guy with hypocrisy or bad guy with good nature?
Xu Zi'an, who was stirring up a few wild potato pieces in the fire with a wet firewood, was stunned for a moment, looked at the girl, and thought that what he said was inexplicable.
Duoduo narrowed his eyes, and half of the full moon was obscured, and the other half of the moonlight was like a wolf's tooth, but it was much better than the wolf's tooth, and continued.
"...... between the cliffs Belch... Exceptional"
After a pause, Duoduo found a word that was quite appropriate
"Those confused traps on the road that I have a headache when I look at them, little boy, I didn't expect that although you look honest and simple, your heart is very bad and bad."
Duoduo said with a smile, while stretching out his finger and pointing at Xu Zi'an, a little old-fashioned, and the last word was pulled far away, very cute.
Xu Zi'an was dumbfounded, thinking to himself that you are just a little girl, call me a little boy, is it appropriate?
Carefully calculated, Duoduo is actually smaller than Xu Zi'an.
"These things......... Somebody taught me."
Xu Zi'an picked the bonfire more vigorously, and the flames lined his eyes very brightly, like a pool of autumn water in the moonlight, with occasional ripples, but those ripples were also fleeting.
Duo Duo looked at the sparks reflected in Xu Zi'an's eyes, thinking to himself how could this person's eyes be so clean, even the flames could be reflected so clearly, thinking about this, Duo Duo opened his mouth and laughed.
"The guy who taught you must be a very bad guy."
Xu Zi'an smiled, thinking about the dream-like rocking chairs, peach blossoms and small courtyards, the night of the town and the gazebo, gently untied the small yellow umbrella beside him, wiped away the frost and grass clippings floating in you, and said with a smile.
"He's a fuck off, and he's the kind of guy who's wilted to the bone, shameless and lawless, but he's a good guy."
After listening to Xu Zi'an's description, Duoduo laughed, sniffed the aroma of the potato wedges in the fire that were gradually roasted, and the dimples filled with the sweetness of green oranges resurfaced on his face, just like two small wine bowls full of rich wine.
Maybe it was the girl's sweet smile like an orange that made Xu Zi'an's hard heart a little drunk, or maybe it was because the starlight at this time was too quiet, and the warmth of the fire also loosened his consciousness a little, Xu Zi'an suddenly raised his head, looked at Duoduo with some embarrassment, and said apologetically.
"I've been on the road and haven't had time to tell you my name, huh......... My name is Xu Zi'an."
I don't know if it's deliberate, or if it's really easy for him to forget the other party's noble identity, Xu Zi'an didn't use your honorific title, which is more in line with the identity of a girl, but used your flat title, and the tone was not very respectful, very plain and sincere, just like two good friends talking over a bonfire.
Duoduo noticed this detail, but she didn't care, since birth, she is the noble princess, her father dotes on her, the royal brothers love and tolerate her, set thousands of favors in one, often disturb the entire capital is not peaceful and helpless, even the five candidates in the hottest temper of the Changgong Hou and the national teacher Zhuang Lao and other central ministers can only smile bitterly, that time is very beautiful, she is very happy, but it is very short.
Because at the age of seven, when she was discovered by the lord of Cinnabar Zhai with the Tianze Pivotal Method, she knew very clearly the burden on her shoulders in the future, although everything around her was the same, and her father and brothers were even more spoiled by her, but she could feel the heavy expectations and responsibilities behind this spoiling.
As the princess of the dynasty, she has to take on the important responsibility of the dynasty.
Since then, the playmates around her have gradually become estranged, this alienation certainly does not refer to the superficial alienation and respect, no one dares to have any snubbing or disrespect for her, this alienation refers to the awe and restraint and heat and admiration because of the difference in status, which makes her feel very boring, and similarly, it also makes her feel a little lonely.
This feeling of loneliness was even stronger in the difficult time two years ago when I left Beijing alone and went to the long snowy region to find the bloodline inheritance.
She could feel the kindness of the young man in front of her to her, and she liked it very much, which made her feel relaxed and comfortable.
So she also stretched out her hand like a friend for the first time, looked at herself reflected in the young man's eyes, gently pulled the hair strand like a flower blooming on her head, and said softly.
"Hello, Xu Zi'an"
(Hello, Mr. Tree, ha, I finally wrote this out, I found that I still prefer to write about this kind of little boy and little girl's little tangled little emotions, otherwise, go back and change to a vest to mix girls? ha)
