Chapter 187: Sneak a peek
Tang Li put the spirit grass in his hand into his satchel, planning to eat it later, so he didn't give it to Xiao Mu.
By the way, she checked how many herbs and spirit herbs were left in her satchel, and if there were not many left, she had to consider adding some back.
At this moment, she flipped through a small bag of things wrapped in white paper, and was stunned for a momentβshe almost forgot that there was still this thing.
This is a few spirit runes that Shui Yu gave her before leaving, saying that she used them when she encountered problems when she was learning spiritual arts, because she was afraid of losing them, she put them at the bottom, and because she didn't have the habit of using spirit runes, if it weren't for this, she would have forgotten it.
Now Xiao Ash is still sleeping in the carriage, and there is still no sign of waking up, although this matter may not really be related to Shui Yu, or even if it is related, she may not answer if asked, it is very likely that a precious sound transmission spirit talisman was wasted, but Tang Li still decided to try.
After talking to Xiao Chen, Tang Li took out a spirit rune, like a spirit jade to convey his guess.
When they returned, Ming Lexue had already caught a big wild boar and roasted it on the fire, and there was still some soup boiling in the pot next to it, and there was a mouth-watering aroma.
These tools are specially brought out in Ming Lexue, although she basically divides everything into two categories, what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten, as long as she is hungry, she will eat it directly, but she usually has good requirements for taste, so her cooking skills can be said to be very good.
When it was done, she served a small bowl to everyone, and a small piece of wild boar, and finally it all went to her own stomach.
The soup was boiled from several wild vegetables, and the Tang pears were all drunk, and as for the wild boar, it was given to Xiao Chen.
After eating, they continued on their way.
When the spirit beast cart continued to move forward, Tang Li always felt as if she was being watched by some kind of gaze outside, she glanced towards the window, and immediately caught a bright yellow figure dangling in the forest.
It was the fawn just now, it actually followed them all the time, it was very fast, and it seemed to be at ease next to the spirit beast cart, without any effort.
But why did you want to follow, could it be to get back the spirit grass just now?
Thinking like this, Tang Li tentatively took out the spirit grass, locked the other party's voice and said, "You want this?"
In fact, she didn't think that she could really get a response, after all, many cubs have not mastered the ability to transmit sounds, and even if there is a inheritance, it will take a certain time to master.
Sure enough, she didn't hear any movement for a while, and she passed on another sentence: "Or I'll just throw it out, you can pick it up." β
Originally, she also thought that the other party would not respond, but this time a voice came straight into her head.
"Don't. β
It was a child-clear voice, and it seemed familiar.
Tang Li asked again, "Then what are you doing here?"
The other party paused for a while, and then replied: "You are not surprised at all, you have already found out that I am not a real fawn?"
Tang Li didn't hide it either: "It's not too early, when you give me the spirit grass." β
The other party was thoughtful: "Sure enough." β
"Since you don't want to return to the Spirit Grass, what are you going to do with you?"
"I'm not following you, I'm just on the way. As if to prove that what he said was right, Xiaolu said again, "I'm going to Yunyan Town, my sister is over there, and it's in this direction for the time being." β
Yunyan Town? Isn't that Xiao Qimen's territory? Could it be that its sister is the war beast of a certain disciple of Xiao Qimen?
Although Tang Li also came back from that side, Xiao Fei was guiding the way all the way, and he couldn't tell whether it was in this direction or not, so he answered casually and asked him to be careful on the road.
At the same time, she suddenly remembered that she had bought a fawn from Orion in Yunyan Town earlier.
It shouldn't be such a coincidence, the fawn feels like an ordinary fawn.
The other party did not answer, nor did he continue to follow the spirit beast car, probably changing lanes.
Since it wasn't ready to take back the spirit grass, Tang Li put the spirit grass back in the satchel, recalled the conversation just now, and suddenly thought that the voice that the child had just made seemed to be a little similar to when she turned into a deer.
However, children's voices are generally brittle, and it is estimated that there is not much difference.
Just thinking about it, Tang Li found that Ming Lexue was looking at her seriously.
"What's wrong?"
"There's a fawn out there. β
"......" Is she wearing Solu radar on her body?
Tang Li was very suspicious that Ming Lexue would talk about venison for a day if she didn't eat venison for a day.
Before nightfall, they found a place to stay.
After picking up a lot of firewood and coming back, Xiao Chen looked at Tang Li: "Later, the three of us will take turns to keep vigil, and you and Ming Lexue will go to the carriage to rest." β
Hearing this, Ming Lexue was startled, plucked up the courage and said, "No, I also have to keep vigil." β
Zheng Yuan looked at her with disgust: "What are you making a fuss about." β
Ming Lexue replied: "There will definitely be fierce beasts around here that smell people." β
Zheng Yuan nodded: "Yes, you don't quite understand, in order to avoid being suddenly attacked, we have to keep vigil." β
Ming Lexue looked serious: "So I also have to keep vigil, it's rare that food will be automatically delivered to the door, how can I go to sleep!" she thrust her giant knife into the ground next to her, "I must wake up until dawn." With that, she swallowed.
Crowd: "......"
Zheng Yuan laughed "poof" and said mockingly: "Stinky mouth, can you think of anything else in your mind besides catching food?"
Ming Lexue thought for a while: "Can you still think about it...... How to eat?"
Seeing her answer so seriously, Zheng Yuan was even more speechless: "You don't have to answer my question, I didn't think of asking you to answer." β
Ming Lexue looked at him like a fool: "Then why do you still ask me?"
"......" was stabbed by her eyes, Zheng Yuan silently moved away and ignored her.
Liang Ye glanced at him sympathetically, and said to Ming Lexue: "You accompany Tang Li to sleep in the carriage, if there is really a fierce beast coming out, I will call you immediately." β
Hearing him say this, Ming Lexue agreed: "Okay, then you must call me, definitely." β
"Well, definitely. β
Tang Li thinks that Ming Lexue is quite cute, obviously she is a character set by herself, but this will look very unfamiliar, except for eating this, there is still a big difference from the outline setting.
It's better that way, and it's better that it won't never be like in the outline.
After dinner, everyone rested, and Tang Li and Ming Lexue stayed in the carriage.
She looked at Ming Lexue, who was wiping the blade, and asked, "Lexue, how did you and Xiao Chen meet?"
"Liang Ye brought me here. Speaking of this, Ming Lexue's expression suddenly became a little complicated, "I was lost by my father, thinking that they might regret taking me back, so I waited for a long time at the entrance of the village, and then one day, when I met Liang Ye, I left with him." β
Tang Li: "......"
With such a big heart, how can you go with someone so casually?
From here, the plot is already wrong, obviously it should have been taken away by the bandits, but now it has become a collision with Liang Ye, what is the origin of this Liang Ye?
After thinking about it for a while, Tang Li asked again: "Then how did you meet Xiao Chen?"
"One day I saw a fawn and couldn't grab him, and then Liang Ye called my name, he seemed to have heard my name, let us follow him for the time being, anyway, we had nowhere to go, so we followed until now. β
Really......
Although this encounter sounds casual, it is not difficult to guess that Xiao Chen should have learned about Ming Lexue's existence from Ayu, but he didn't know why he invited Ming Lexue, whether it was to confirm what Ayu said, or because they also had a bad inheritance.
After thinking about it for a while, Tang Li gave up, and it was strange to guess like this, so he was tired of it, so he didn't have to find a chance to ask Xiao Chen directly.
After wiping the blade, Ming Lexue lay down directly and prepared to sleep, Tang Li also lay down and closed her eyes, but after a while, Ming Lexue was already asleep, and she was still very awake.
It's usually easy to fall asleep, maybe it's because I've been thinking too much about it lately.
She simply got up and got out of the carriage, and soon saw where Xiao Chen was, under the tree not far from the spirit beast car.
This would be Liang Ye keeping vigil, and when he saw her come out, he hurriedly made a gesture to silence.
Tang Li walked to his side lightly, lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Xiao Chen has been sleeping very lightly, he will just fall asleep, and he will wake up with a little movement, don't go over if you have nothing to do. β
Tang Li nodded hurriedly, and couldn't help asking, "Has he always been like this?"
Liang Ye replied: "It's been like this since I knew him, Zheng Yuan has known him for a longer time, and listening to him, it seems that it has always been like this." β
Tang Li glanced at Xiao Chen, thought about it, reached out and caught Shi Qing who was guarding the side, and said, "Shi Qing, come over for a while." β
Shi Qing was resting on a tree, and after receiving Tang Li's order, he immediately followed her to the side.
"About this, boss, you should also know that Boss Xiao Chen used to be like this. β
Indeed, it used to be in Gaoli Mountain, as if it had been vigilant, but it was obviously not as serious as it is now.
"It's more serious now," she said. β
Shi Qing nodded approvingly: "Yes, that's true, it seems that after meeting that Qiu Yufeng three years ago......"
Shi Qing recalled that at that time, because of Lan Shengyan's spiritual skills, he and Chen Lanyu had been separated from Xiao Chen for a moment, and after that, Xiao Chen seemed to deliberately refuse to sleep, and kept holding on.
Sometimes I will sleep for a while when I am very sleepy, but I wake up immediately, and every time I wake up, it looks very scary, as if I have changed a person.
Afraid that Tang Li would be worried, Shi Qing said again: "But now it's much better, and I will sleep well at night, but I sleep relatively lightly, maybe I have a habit." β
Speaking of which, it was a little depressed, in fact, it could more or less guess the reason why Xiao Chen was like this.
It also told Boss Xiao Chen countless times that it would protect him well and let him sleep at ease, but the effect was very small, and Boss Xiao Chen still didn't believe in its strength.
After hearing it, Tang Li frowned.
Changed a person?
What does that mean?
Did you hear something from Ayu, so you can't sleep all the time?
No wonder Xiao Chen could know as soon as she moved last night that she couldn't sleep well, and in that case, it was normal to not be able to sleep.
Could it be that I haven't been able to fall asleep yet?
Thinking so, Tang Li ignored Liang Ye's silent stop, and walked towards Xiao Chen carefully, she had already tried to use the lightest movements, but with about ten steps left, Xiao Chen opened her eyes.
Tang Li stopped in front of him and asked, "You can't sleep?"
"I woke up when I heard someone approaching. Xiao Chen sat up, "Why did you come out?"
"I can't sleep, or I'll sleep outside, and it's easier to absorb the aura. As soon as Tang Li said, he suddenly caught a glimpse of his slippery black hair, and suddenly had an urge to touch it, it must feel very good.
Xiao Chen hesitated slightly, hesitated slightly, and finally gave up some positions.
When he acquiesced, Tang Li immediately sat down happily beside him, with some hay under him, and sat softly.
She turned her head to look at Xiao Chen, and saw that he was indeed in a bad state, so she proposed: "Xiao Chen, you continue to sleep, I will guard by the side." β
Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel a little funny when he said this, and he repeated it again: "Are you guarding?"
"That's right. Tang Li nodded, "You go to sleep quickly, or you won't grow tallβ"
But now this is not convincing, only four years later, Xiao Chen has grown a lot taller, and when a boy reaches a certain age, the speed of growing taller is incredible.
She'll probably have a few more years, but she's getting sooner, and hopefully she'll grow taller.
"Anyway, you go to sleep. Tang Li couldn't think of any better reason for a while, so she simply pressed him back domineeringly, "Sleep, sleep, sleep." β
Knowing that she was worried about herself, Xiao Chen followed her wishes and lay back: "You can sleep too, otherwise you will really not grow tall." β
Thinking of Tang Li, who is now tall: "......"
He must have done it on purpose.
Tang Li glared at him angrily, and happened to meet his eyes, the firelight swayed in his eyes, extremely charming, and there seemed to be something condensing in the depths of those eyes, giving people a burning feeling.
After looking at it in a daze, Tang Li suddenly came back to his senses, and immediately said sternly: "Close your eyes quickly." β
Seeing Xiao Chen obediently close her eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief.
In the spirit grass that I picked in the secret realm, it has a calming effect, and there is no need to take it, and it has an effect when you put it aside and smell it.
Before he walked over, Tang Li let Xiao Mu spit it out and put it in the satchel, which would put the satchel on Xiao Chen's side, hoping to have some effect.
After that, she stared at Xiao Chen for a while, thinking that he should be asleep, so she lay down opposite him, and by the way, she couldn't help but raise her hand and touch the long inky hair that fell on the hay.
It feels really good.
The corners of Tang Li's mouth couldn't help but smile, and he decided to absorb the aura for a while, but after closing his eyes, he fell asleep unconsciously.
When it was time, Liang Ye got up to call Xiao Chen, found that he slept more soundly than usual, and sat back down.
He threw a few branches into the fire, preparing to wait for Zheng Yuan to come over.
The light is faint.
What sound came from her ears, Tang Li rubbed her eyes, and as soon as she opened them, she saw Xiao Chen staring at her with an extremely complicated look.
