Chapter Eighty-Three: Disputes
The day passed three poles.
At this time, the winding path under the feet of the two of them became narrower and narrower, and the branches of the trees reached the side of the road from time to time.
Gu Xijun stretched out his hand to open the cork, raised his head and drank the last drop of water in the bamboo tube, and his dry lips were suddenly slightly moisturized. Out of professional habits, she played with the empty bamboo tube in her hand, and saw that a layer of scale had accumulated on its inner wall, which had obviously been used for a long time.
"Huh?" Plugging the wooden stopper, she said in wonder: "Bamboo is a rare thing in Yunnan, and there is your special bamboo in the grass house!"
Moreover, this bamboo is yellowish, and even has a reddening appearance, and it will take more than ten years to see how old this bamboo is! This kind of hard bamboo that can be used as a utensil is even rarer! I am afraid that it can only be obtained in your Mushi Villa. ”
"So, I decided that this place should be not far from town. According to common sense, we should have walked for so long, we should have already left the mountain. Mu Juechen was also puzzled.
Because of the so-called path in front of you, weeds and sentient beings, it has been abandoned for a long time. But compared to the tall bushes on both sides, it is barely a road.
Gu Xijun subconsciously rubbed her sore shoulders, the humid and hot weather made her extremely depressed, "You say, if this is a cloud to the west, why are there mountains? If there are clouds, shouldn't it be a plain? This is simply a tropical rainforest, poisonous insects, wild beasts, except for water, there are a lot!"
Looking at the increasingly towering mountain, she began to suspect that the route led by Mu Juechen was wrong.
"Isn't this the realm of the firmament? In this way, everything has to wait until you find a populated place before you can ask where this is!" Mu Juechen muttered to himself, and casually picked up the moon and marked it on the trunk of the tree beside the road.
Gu Xijun, who was walking in front, stopped, turned his head to look at Mu Juechen, and wanted to express his opinion, "Then what should we do now?"
Mu Juechen aimed at her red little face, and then looked up at the sun in the sky, judging the direction, and still maintained a square and elegant position. Resolutely spoke: "Continue to the west for another five miles, and try it." ”
"Ao!" Gu Xijun wanted to refute, whether to go back the way he came. But looking at Mu Juechen's conceited demeanor, it seems that he has no intention at all.
"I can't imagine that this Mu Juechen's character is more stubborn than me. ”
After a little thought, she decided not to fight him. It's a big deal to sacrifice your life to accompany the gentleman, so obediently obey his words.
However, an hour later.
"Oh, how far do you have to go?" Gu Xijun wiped the layers of sweat on his forehead with the corner of his sleeve, opened the collar of his shirt to the maximum, and gradually felt physically exhausted.
Although Mu Juechen couldn't sense the heat, he was also covered with dust, a little embarrassed, and his expression became more and more solemn. He took out the fruit from the bag and gave her two. Shen Sheng said: "Replenish your physical strength first." ”
Gu Xijun was sleepy and tired, in order to conserve his strength, he took the fruit and did not speak, and ate the fruit in two bites until only the core remained. It seems that it is not the fruit that is biting, but Mu Juechen. Obviously, she was holding her breath in her heart, and it was not good to attack him.
After climbing another small hill......
Gu Xijun couldn't help but explode after all.
She sat on the ground like a fool, didn't want to take one more step, stretched her little face, and asked anxiously: "Mu Sheng, do you notice that something is wrong?"
Mu Juechen took a look, and there were big trees above his head, and the fat leaves had already blocked the sun. He threw a few long handfuls of hair hanging down from his chest behind him, pursed his thin lips, and did not answer.
Believing in himself, he began to silently think about whether he really chose the wrong direction!
Seeing that he hesitated, a series of questions slipped out of Gu Xijun's mouth.
"We've been walking for almost a whole day, how come the more we walk, the more we feel like we're going deep into the mountains, and it's almost no way out? The most important thing, haven't you noticed that the beasts you encountered along the way are bigger than the other? Don't you really think that it was your own judgment error?"
Gu Xijun thought of what he had just seen, a long-haired brown bear that had crossed and mutated of an unknown breed, and there was a circle of flowing white hair on its neck!
If Mu Juechen hadn't taken her off in time, it is estimated that she would have been almost digested this time! So now that I think about it, I am still very afraid, this thing is much more ferocious than Soul Eater!
It was noticed that she was short of breath after speaking, and her physical strength was clearly depleted.
Mu Juechen showed a slightly worried look and decisively said: "Before it gets dark, let's hurry up and find a place to stay." Climb to the top of the mountain tomorrow morning and make plans again. If not, we'll go back the way we came!"
Gu Xijun wiped the sweat dripping from his chin, and when his breathing calmed down, he tilted his head listlessly and asked, "Mu Sheng, can I ask something?"
"Hmm. ”
"Are you also blind?"
“...... Some. Mu Juechen didn't look over, a little embarrassed. After the resurrection, his body was crippled, and some of his spiritual senses were no longer as good as they had been.
But Gu Xijun didn't know the reason, and after hearing him admit it himself, he was a little dumbfounded, and choked a few mouthfuls of saliva.
"Ahem, can I say another word?"
"Hmm. ”
"You're a real pit!"
Gu Xijun said angrily, stood up, patted the dust attached to his clothes, and continued to walk inside.
“......。 ”
Mu Juechen was powerless to refute, watching her walk sweating profusely, her back shirt clinging to her skin, so she hurriedly chased after her and asked, "How is it, do you feel tired?" Shall we take another break?"
"It's rare that you Mu Dagongzi only took into account the feelings below! Yes, but fortunately, I'm used to being wild, and this little distance is nothing. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry. ”
Mu Juechen also realized at this time that she was indeed too self-conscious before, ignoring her feelings.
It seems that he is not so unkind!
Gu Xijun thought so in his heart, he still had no heart on his lips, deliberately changed the topic, and teased the handsome guy regardless of the occasion, "Then if I say that I am very tired, do you want to fly with me again?"
Mu Juechen ignored it, bypassed her and hurriedly continued to explore the way. For her low-level provocation, he can deal with it with ease!
Besides, it was getting dark at this time, and it was very tricky to have a large beast in sight. So, he's really not in the mood to joke!
When the two saw the mark left on the trunk of the tree by Shuyue again, they immediately glanced at each other, and they both saw a solemn look on each other's faces.
Gu Xijun stepped forward, touched the brand-new scratches, and asked weakly, "Mu Sheng, are we lost?"
Zheng!
The white cold light immediately flowed faintly around the two of them.
Mu Juechen didn't say much, and suddenly raised Su Yue, blocked in front of Gu Xijun, and said coldly: "No, a roadblock has been set up here." We've fallen for it!"
