Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Treacherous Night
The three of them sat in place and rested for a while, but decided to get here today and get some sleep before leaving. Because if this continues, it is a great exertion for everyone's physical strength, and there will be greater challenges in the future.
At six o'clock in the evening, we felt that our strength had recovered somewhat, got up and found a relatively flat place on the side, sat down for dinner, and it was convenient for the pig's head to run, and Liang Ruoyi and I sat in place and were bored.
Liang Ruoyi took out a small golden bag from his backpack, poured out two jade-white thumb-sized things from it, and some small tools such as carving knives and carving needles, and sat on the side and got busy.
"What's that? Mysterious and mysterious? "I was idle, so I leaned over, and saw that the things in Liang Ruoyi's hand seemed to be two ornaments, which had been completed for the most part, and it looked like two cylindrical ornaments, one carved with a dragon, and the other with a phoenix.
"See?" Liang Ruoyi didn't raise his head, and asked softly.
"Roar!" I was a little surprised: "I didn't expect Ice Beauty to have this unique job?!" I really didn't expect that I always thought you were a very female girl, but I really didn't expect that there would be such a delicate work! Look at this carving, look at this shape, tsk! ”
"Huh!" Liang Ruoyi was amused by my somewhat exaggerated words: "How can it be so exaggerated." Many years ago, when I was training in a closed area, there was nothing in that place, after the training, the commander did not allow us to go back, let alone sleep, this is also a kind of endurance and mental training, there is no way, I can only find some random things, carving and painting, and then slowly I like carving things. After a few years, this carving has been practiced. By the way, do you know what it is? ”
"This?" I stretched out my hand and pointed to the jade-white ornament, looked at it, and shook my head: "I can't see it." What kind of jade is it? ”
"Huh!" Liang Ruoyi smiled and shook his head: "No, this is the cow in the Yashan Sea Palace." ”
"Cow fish?!" I quickly remembered that after the cow fish was killed, Liang Ruoyi cut off his two fangs, but I didn't expect it to be for carving.
"That's right, Cowfish." Liang Ruoyi said, picked up the phoenix ornament that was being carved in his hand, and put it under the flashlight to shine: "Okay! ”
Then, the ice beauty turned her head and handed me the ornament: "Men wear phoenixes, women wear dragons." To give! ”
I was stunned, I didn't come back to my senses for a while, I looked up at Liang Ruoyi for a few seconds, and saw that there was a hint of shyness between her eyebrows, her lips were curled, and there were two blushes on her beautiful cheeks, which made me stunned for a moment.
"Take it!" Liang Ruoyi was a little flustered by me, grabbed my hand, and stuffed it into my palm: "I don't mean anything else, it's just the remaining two scraps, it's a pity to throw them away." ”
"Hey, hey!" My heart was very warm, and I rubbed the ornament in my hand: "Beauty, your explanation, it's really three hundred taels of silver here!" There's no one else here, you say, do you like me? ”
Originally, I wanted to make a joke, but Liang Ruoyi suddenly turned her head to look at me, with a serious face: "Like you?" Then let me ask you, if I really like you, will you give up Su Xiao to be with me? ”
I was stunned for a moment when I asked this, and I was a little stunned, but the answer in my heart was very clear: "No, no, I will only be with Su Xiao in my life." ”
"That's it." Liang Ruoyi's face was still expressionless, and he turned around and continued to carve the dragon carved ornament: "So, don't ask any girls this kind of question in the future." ”
I nodded, I didn't know what to say, there was originally a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere, but I said this, which made the two very embarrassed, Liang Ruoyi was busy for a while, and seemed to be in no mood, so he put the things back in his backpack.
"Well, I'll go see the pig's head, why hasn't that kid come back yet......" I muttered, stood up, and walked in the direction where the pig's head had been.
The light of the flashlight illuminated the surrounding shadows, and there was no sound in the extremely silent mountain. Seriously, if Liang Ruoyi hadn't asked like that, I wouldn't have found that I had such a clear answer in my heart.
Perhaps, Xiaoxiao and I, who have been separated for several months, will not go back to the past after reuniting, but no matter what, I only have her in my heart.
This is God's test for both of us......
After walking for a while, I suddenly smelled a foul smell, and then I remembered that I had come to look for the pig's head, and hurriedly looked around, and found that there was a piece of poop in a corner, but the pig's head was gone!
"Hey! Pig?! Where did you kid run away again?! I screamed in the darkness, and the echo came back, but there was no response from the pig's head.
I frowned, and was about to shout again, when I suddenly felt a chill in the back of my head, and I was shocked: It's bad, the pig's head can't be killed, right?!
I stood still, reached out and stuffed a piece of blood stone into my mouth, then drew the dagger, and slowly walked back - I was not so bold to save the pig's head by myself, at least, to call Liang Ruoyi, a master.
A few minutes later, I tiptoed back to the original place, saw Liang Ruoyi looking through a book, and hurriedly said: "Beauty, the pig's head is gone, I ...... just now"
Before I finished speaking, I heard a familiar snoring sound, and I took a flashlight to shine it, and saw that the pig's head didn't know when it would come back, and Zhengxiang was lying on the ground sleeping.
"Back, back?!" My eyes widened: "Why didn't I see him?" Besides, I just felt something evil around me! ”
As I spoke, I touched the back of my head behind me and found that the coolness had disappeared, and there should be no evil in this area...... Weird, how could it be?!
"Oh, don't shine it......" The pig's head was annoyed by the light of my flashlight shining on his face: "I saw you just now, and when I saw you with your head down and a serious face, I thought you were thinking about something, and I was afraid of disturbing you, so I didn't greet you." ”
"Damn!" I scolded, walked over to Liang Ruoyi and sat down, leaned against the stone wall, and turned off the flashlight: "Sleep!" ”
The atmosphere of this night was a little weird, and after the conversation I had with Liang Ruoyi, I always felt that there was an extra layer of estrangement between the two, not like before.
Thoughts flew in my head, and I didn't know when, I fell into a deep sleep.
In my sleep, I suddenly heard a faint sound of chattering, I thought it was a dream at first, but then I felt more and more real, so I woke up from the dream, slowly opened my eyes a little heavy, glanced at the luminous watch, it was already more than four o'clock in the morning.
The snoring of the pig's head was still there, and Liang Ruoyi was crooked on the stone wall on the side, sleeping soundly.
I wonder a little, Liang Ruoyi's vigilance is very strong, she would wake up as soon as there was a sound before, why didn't she move this time?
In the dark, I fumbled for the flashlight on the ground, and was about to turn it on, but I felt that the sound disappeared, it was really like hearing it in a dream, and when I woke up, the sound was gone.
I held a position for a moment, smiled wryly, felt a little nervous, my eyelids were still heavy, and I leaned back against the stone wall, ready to sleep a little longer.
My eyes were just about to close, in a trance, I seemed to see a black shadow passing in front of my eyes, I hurriedly subconsciously touched the back of my head, everything was normal, but the black shadow was indeed real, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye......
Second uncle? Cloth bag monk? Or are they the seventh master or the fifth chai?! Or, Xu Zeming's people?
I couldn't sleep anymore, staring at the endless darkness in front of me, and my heart began to tense for no reason. has already come here, it should not be far from the Tianshan Medicine Garden, the people who came this time, just like Liang Ruoyi said, may have begun to fight for speed, whoever arrives at the Tianshan Medicine Garden first, who has a greater chance of getting the treasure.
I'm not worried about the Sun Moon Lotus I want, after all, the second uncle is here, and he is more eager than me.
After observing in the dark for a few minutes, I did not dare to come out, but no black shadow passed in front of my eyes.
Alas, I don't know what evil I created in my previous life to get involved in such an action...... I smiled bitterly in my heart, and wanted to stand up and move, but I saw the pig's head not far away, slowly sitting up in the dark......
