The forest at night is unusually silent.

A bonfire was lit in front of it, and the damp wood was burned.

Although the voices of those people were deliberately low, they were still clear in the ears of the two of them.

"Yang Ye, there are people over there, should we go over?"

Tang Xinyu heard the sound of human activities, and although she was excited, she did not relax her vigilance.

"Listening to the voice, there should be a lot of people. ”

Yang Ye's eyes were slightly condensed, standing in the dark, looking at the dancing flames in front of him, and there was some hesitation in his heart.

If it's the good guys, then they might be saved tonight, but if it's the bad guys, or the people who are chasing them, then they're going to be caught in the net.

"You hide here first, don't make a sound, I'll go and take a look. ”

After a moment of silence, he commanded Tang Xinyu, and without waiting for her to answer, he immediately lowered his voice and sneaked towards the group.

Tang Xinyu looked at his back, her lips moved, and she didn't say anything after all.

The corners of her mouth were slightly curved, and there was a shallow happiness in her dark eyes.

"Ah Hu, you guys should make more traps around to prevent us from being attacked by demon beasts when we sleep at night. Aaron, you are responsible for leading people to stand guard, don't doze off......"

As soon as Yang Ye came to the front quietly, he heard a middle-aged man in the lead, telling several young people to pay attention to at night.

The middle-aged man was tall and rough-looking, his eyes were shining, and the muscles of his whole body were bulging high under the wrapping of his clothes, almost breaking out.

As he walked, he walked with great momentum, and he was obviously a martial artist with a high level of cultivation.

And those young people were all strong and strong, with a resolute look on their faces, and they were very respectful to the middle-aged man.

"Okay, everybody got moving, set up tents, barbecued meat, and cooked. ”

After the young men said yes and were busy, the middle-aged man commanded several people behind him who were weaker.

"Judging by their clothes, they shouldn't be people from Xiangzhou City, but like people from a family or village outside the city. ”

Yang Ye secretly observed, his heart was slightly relieved, and when he was thinking about how to communicate with them in the past, there was a sudden burst of shouting behind him, and then several strong winds hit quickly.

"Who dares to peep here!"

The five young men were holding short knives, and without saying anything, they slashed directly towards Yang Ye.

And the middle-aged man also snorted coldly and forced him from the front.

Yang Ye's eyes froze, he turned his hand and took out the jade flute, resisted it slightly, hurriedly took a few steps back, and arched his hand: "Everyone, I'm not a bad person, just a student trapped in the forest. ”

"Students?"

The middle-aged man came closer, raised his hand, stopped the five young men from continuing to attack, squinted and looked at Yang Ye's whole body, and nodded slightly: "Seeing that you are ragged and scarred, it really doesn't seem that you are deliberately lurking here to disadvantage us." ”

"But how dare you, a mere scribe, trespass into this dangerous place, and what proof do you have if you say you are only a student?"

The night was dark and the wind was high, and this was an extremely dangerous place, so he naturally wouldn't easily believe Yang Ye.

When Yang Ye heard this, he smiled bitterly, and said: "My companion and I came together because we were curious about the demon beasts here, and we wanted to take a look, but we got lost in the forest, and the farther and farther we went, we were trapped here." As for how to prove that I am a student, I have no way to do it now, except after I go out. ”

"Oh, you have a companion?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at the five young people, who were just about to act, but heard Yang Ye say: "Uncle don't be nervous, she is just a girl, and she is not a threat to you." ”

At this moment, Yang Ye could only pin his hopes of getting out of the forest on these people, and these people didn't seem to be bad people.

He turned his head and shouted into the grass not far away, "Xinyu, come out." ”

As soon as the grass moved, the five young men looked stunned, and their eyes immediately showed a hint of vigilance.

However, I saw a slender and weak girl, slowly walking out of it, with a beautiful and intimidating temperament, which made the five people's eyes suddenly brighten.

Tang Xinyu came behind Yang Ye, nodded at the middle-aged man, and said, "Uncle, we are really not bad people, we just got lost in the forest, and I want you to help us." ”

The middle-aged man glanced at her, frowned, pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, since it's not for us, then you can leave now." As for the rest, I can't do anything about it. ”

When Tang Xinyu heard this, she immediately said urgently: "Uncle, you can help us once, and after we go out, we will definitely give you a reward." ”

The middle-aged man looked indifferent, glanced at the two of them, and said, "We don't need to be paid, and we don't want strangers to be in our team, if the two of you hear clearly, let's leave now." ”

Tang Xinyu frowned slightly, looked at the rich night, and pleaded cheekily, but saw Yang Ye holding her and said to the middle-aged man: "Then the uncle will allow the two of us to stay for one night, how about it?"

Tang Xinyu also said: "Yes, uncle, it's so late, there are demon beasts in the forest, we really don't know where to go." ”

"This is your business, it has nothing to do with us, even if you die in the forest, I will not have any mercy. ”

The middle-aged man showed impatience on his face, beckoned to the five young men, and said, "Let the two of them leave now, if they don't will, they will definitely have ill intentions towards us, then don't be polite, just kill them." ”

With that, he turned around, no longer glancing at the two of them, and prepared to leave.

The five young men were about to agree, but in the darkness behind the bonfire, a young girl's somewhat cold voice came: "Second uncle, I know that young man, he is indeed a student of the Xiangzhou City Seminary, you can keep them for one night." ”

"Oh?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he stopped, turned to look at Yang Ye, and didn't ask any more, and said directly: "Okay, you two can stay, but you are only allowed to stay for one night, and you must leave the next day." And you must not run around at night, nor look around, or you will be expelled at once. ”

Yang Ye and Tang Xinyu glanced at each other, and they were secretly puzzled in their hearts.

"Uncle, can you tell me who the girl is over there?"

Yang Ye glanced at the dark place over there, but only saw a tent, but no one was seen.

When the middle-aged man heard this, he sneered and said, "Boy, leaving you behind is already an exception, I hope you don't think about it anymore." ”

"Wishful thinking?"

Yang Ye looked at him in surprise, puzzled.

Isn't it just to look at the girl, since the other party knows him, maybe she is a student of the seminary, or his classmate?

How can this be called wishful thinking?
