One person and one tiger, facing each other at the narrow corner of this mountain road, a momentum is brave, a fierce does not know how to retreat, a long knife chopping, there is no retreat, the tiger claws tear and shoot, there is no response, the voice is scolded, vigorous and resolute, mixed with the roar of the tiger, echoing in this mountain, as fast as it is, slow to say more than a dozen moves, but listen to a howl, this body in the fight of a person and a tiger, both two-way retreat.
"Uh-huh—"
The giant tiger with blood on his back stared at the people and horses opposite, although he was unwilling, he still turned around and flashed into the forest behind him.
"Alas, alas, let the tiger return to the mountain, how can you make it?" Shen Jiantang let out a strange scream.
"Childe, this tiger is a mother's, and there is a tiger cub in her womb, so you should not kill it."
Yi Yu swallowed another mouthful of saliva, looked at Xiao Fei, who was gentle in front of people, shook off a little blood stain on the long knife comparable to her height, inserted the rope behind her back, and raised her head to Shen Jiantang to persuade gently.
No one should be a disgrace
"Xiao Fei, is it necessary for you to be so hypocritical," Yao Yisheng seemed to be dissatisfied with her actions, and sneered with a smile: "In this way, this tiger stays in the mountains and forests, and I don't know how many lost people's lives have been harmed, why not kill it?" ”
"But what do those people have to do with me?" Xiao Fei glanced at Yao Yisheng strangely, and turned over on the horse.
Whether this is kindness or coldness, the jade is in the bottom of his eyes, but he can't tell the difference.
When it was dark, a group of eight people had already arrived at a three-way fork under the guidance of He Shaozhi, which was regarded as entering the edge of the deep forest of Python Mountain.
"Get off the horse and rest, go inside, I don't know the way, my people will explore these three passes, fortunately in this deep forest to live a life back, I only remember the road here, as for the valley full of rare herbs, I don't know where to go, Yisheng, the road behind this, it depends on your ability."
"A flute." Several people got off the horse, Yao Yisheng called Yao Yidi, and the two walked to the vicinity of each fork together, playing with the grass and trees growing around, or checking the soil under their feet and the stone layers on the mountain wall, and gradually walked in, disappearing.
After waiting for about half an hour, Yao Yisheng turned back and said to everyone:
"I have to go south, there is a stream in the west, there is a dense forest in front, the humidity is very heavy, I am afraid of miasma, it is not suitable to stay overnight, and there are traces of fierce beasts, I see that the sky is going to be dark, I will spend a night at this intersection tonight, and I will move forward tomorrow tomorrow, and strive to catch up before dark, and walk through the wetland."
There was no objection to this professional judgment, so they went to fetch the objects on horseback, prepared to make a fire, set up a simple shed, and lived here for the night.
After a day's journey, everyone was hungry, there were a few pheasants and wild birds on the road, Shen Jiantang asked Yao Yisheng where the creek was, and took Xiao Fei to peel and wash together, He Shaozhi This fat man does not eat white food, holds a pot, and follows the two to fetch water.
The rest of the people were picking up some dry grass and branches not far away to prepare for a fire, Yao Yisheng sat under a tree and played with a knife, and when everyone came back, they saw that Yiyu came back with a pile of dead grass nearby, and stopped her.
"Hey, little thing."
Yi Yu must have known that this was calling herself, Yao Yisheng had a problem with giving people nicknames, such as He Shaozhi was called a dead fat man by him, Shen Jiantang was called a sloppy ghost by her, and even Li Tai was inevitably named a black-faced ghost by her, but a few people obviously didn't care about this trivial matter, and even Shen Jiantang didn't care about it, and separated from her.
"Miss Yao."
Yao Yisheng "giggled" and said, "Don't call me Miss, it sounds boring." ”
In Chang'an City, if you don't add a young lady before calling a woman, it is disrespectful, and there is a hint of contempt, but when you come out, it is obviously different.
"Miss Yao."
"Are you really Chang Si's maid?"
"Hmm." If you don't be a maid, you will be a cousin, then you are still a maid.
"You're also from Kannai?"
"yes, I'm not talking about official words." Seeing that she had a heart to talk to, Yi Yu simply squatted down and picked up the flint and steel to make a fire, while answering her questions.
"Cut, my official words are not very good, but I am not from Guannei," Yao Yisheng sat on the stone with his knees crossed, looked at her, and said, "You look young, how long have you been waiting for Chang Si." ”
"It's been a year." Not counting the first three years, it started from the reunion at Gaoyang's birthday banquet, which was nearly a year. Yi Yu stuffed the lit branch into the grass pile, knowing very well in her heart that the other party was testing her.
"It's only been a year? I look at him and treat you a little differently, and ask you again, are you really his maid? Yao Yisheng's fingers flexibly rotated the knife in his hand, but his eyes narrowed, and there was a hint of danger hidden in his apricot eyes.
Hearing this, the movements of Yi Yu's hand slowed down, her heart was strange, the girl's mind was the most sensitive, she tasted some different flavors from these words, her eyes flashed, and she raised her head to show her a look of doubt:
"Miss Yao is asking this, it's not a maid, what else can it be?"
"He's a person, he's got a bunch of problems, a maid, how could he make an exception to take it with him, and allow you to get close, little thing, it's not good to lie."
With a "poof", she didn't know what to shoot on the grass pile next to Yu Yu's hand, and as soon as she moved her eyes, she saw that the stack of high pile of dead grass was burning a small hole the thickness of a thumb at a speed that was within reach of the naked eye, and there was still a wisp of green smoke on it.
She took a light breath, quickly recognized the smell, and knew that if this fire poison hit the back of her hand, she was afraid that she would be burned and pierced on the spot.
"Miss Yao," Yi Yu froze slightly, retracted his hand, and looked at Yao Yisheng who was smiling and groaning defensively, "I didn't lie, how can the young master treat me differently, if you say something special, then Miss Hu-"
"Huh? What did you say? ”
Yi Yu bit her lip in annoyance, and changed her words: "It's nothing, the young master took me out, but it's just because I'm well-behaved and sensible, and I'm good at picnics." ”
Although she changed her words quickly, Yao Yisheng still heard a "Miss Hu", sneered, and let go of the questioning, leaning against the big tree and pretending to sleep.
Yi Yu picked up the branch and continued to make a fire, secretly rolled his eyes, and made a note in his heart to Li Tai, what Miss Hu, a young lady who talks nonsense, how can she compare to this Miss Yao in front of her, I originally thought that Yao Yisheng had a holiday with Li Tai, but now looking at it, it is another matter.
Dinner is quite delicious, Yu Yu grew up in a poor ravine when he was a child, digging wild vegetables, eating wild food, nothing has been done, his fingers are grinding a layer of cocoons because of picking beans, it is difficult to break it, pay attention not to hurt his hands, and Shen Jiantang, who is good at roasting wild game, tossed a good dinner.
When the pots and pans are cleaned up, the sky has completely darkened, the air is cooler, and there is only the sound of birds and birds fluttering around.
Use branches to build cloth by the tree, set up a few simple sheds to shelter from the wind, a few people discuss the matter of the vigil, the girl's family will be exempted, let Shen Jiantang go to guard in the first half of the night tonight, and Li Tai in the second half of the night, and wait until tomorrow night to change He Shaozhi and Liu Guan.
Four small sheds were surrounded by the fire, Deng Shaozhi and Shen Jiantang were in one place, Liu Guan and Yao Yidi were in one place, Xiao Fei and Yao Yisheng were in one place, everyone knew Li Tai's temper, and when he saw that he did not avoid the little girl he brought, he threw them away.
Yi Yu washed his hands and face with the water from the stream, went to the horse's back to take off a heavy bag, got into the shed, took out the velvet blanket in the bag, carefully spread it on a layer of cloth on the ground, folded a pillow with his clothes and put it on his head, gently patted it loose, turned over and lay on it, intending to try whether it was comfortable.
Li Tai lowered his head and lifted the cloth, and by the bonfire outside, he saw her rolling over and over on the velvet carpet, and he was happy to play alone, his thin lips hooked lightly, and he bent down to get in, sat down beside her, and saw her stiffly turn over to look at him, and said in a low voice:
"Not tired?"
"Huh." Yi Yu laughed dryly, shrank aside, and made a large space in the small shed for him.
Li Tai willingly lay down in his clothes, he was tall and big, so that the shed was full, and the jade was squeezed, so he turned sideways, who knew that he also turned sideways, and the two became face to face and lay on their sides, and they could smell each other's unique breath closely, in this dangerous deep mountains and forests, it was extremely reassuring.
The light in the shed was dim, and only faint figures could be seen, and the lesson of being interjected during the day made Yi Yu know that this group of people had terrible ears, so he could only approach Li Tai, touch the mask on his face, and said in a low voice:
"Can't you take this off, put it back on when you go out."
He raised his hand and took off the mask, put it aside, in the dimness, a pair of eyes were like gems, exuding a faint luster, reflected in her eyes, there was a moment of distraction, her hand had unconsciously touched it.
"It's beautiful." She sighed.
"Beautiful," Li Tai repeated the word, took her little hand that lingered around his eyes, and lowered his voice, asked:
"Don't you think it's strange that you don't feel uncomfortable when you look at me directly?"
Speaking of which, one of the most special things about Li Tai is these eyes, but this is the first time the two have talked about them.
"Hmm..." Yi Yu didn't rush to answer, thought for a while, and then approached him, and whispered: "It's a little strange at first, after all, everyone's eyes are black, but strange is strange, they are all very beautiful, and later, I feel nothing, let alone feel uncomfortable to look at, in fact, black eyes are no different from blue eyes, not all used to see things, only your eyes should be more beautiful." ”
“... It's not raw," Li Tai said softly, holding her soft little hand to his lips, "My eyes, like yours, are also black. ”
