Chapter 22: Running Away Quietly

Su Xiangxiang thought she was full of momentum, but she couldn't even pull her legs back, she kept a word on the horse, and after a few struggles, she couldn't escape Xiubai's gentle confinement.

Xiu Bai approached, holding Su Xiangxiang's long legs with one hand at his side, and the other hand slowly wrapped around his waist.

Su Xiangxiang's center of gravity was unstable, and she leaned on the hard arm behind her back, unable to push away, and stiffly dodged the approaching handsome face.

"What, you want to challenge the third-order orcs?" The corners of Xiu Bai's mouth twitched with a faint smile, his eyes were like water, and he looked at Su Xiangxiang for a moment.

"No, no need!" Su Xiangxiang stammered, twisted her body hard, and pushed her hands violently.

Xiu Bai didn't expect her to use such a strong force and slip her hand.

Su Xiangxiang staggered back two steps and sat down in the grass.

Xiu Bai hurriedly stepped forward to check, helplessly stretched out his hand, gently pulled Su Xiangxiang up, and kept the distance between the two gentlemanly.

"Did it hurt?" Xiu Bai's eyes flashed with pity that he didn't even notice.

Su Xiangxiang blushed and rubbed her buttocks, it didn't hurt to fall on the soft black soil, but it was just a little embarrassing.

In the blink of an eye, a small ball of red fruit flashed in her field of vision, Su Xiangxiang immediately looked back, her whole body was shocked, her eyes lit up, and the embarrassment just now was immediately thrown out of the clouds.

She crouched down, carefully brushed aside the grass, and carefully held a plant with a red fruit on the top in the palm of her hand to examine it.

He reached out and dug into the roots along the stems and leaves of the plant, revealing the top of the pale yellow rhizome inside.

It turned out to be a ginseng plant!!

The surrounding vegetation is dense and knee-high, obscuring the signature red fruit at the top of the ginseng.

If it weren't for this fall, Su Xiangxiang might have missed this precious ginseng.

Su Xiangxiang's hands trembled excitedly, and she immediately inserted her ten fingers into the soft black soil, but her wrists were held from both sides by a pair of big hands.

Xiu Bai first pulled Su Xiangxiang's hand aside, his broad hand grew sharp nails, pierced deep into the soil, gently pulled out, and the whole ginseng was dug out completely and held in front of Su Xiangxiang.

And the cracks between the knobby nails were stuffed with deep black dirt, and Xiu Bai clapped his hands indifferently.

"Do you like it? There's a lot more over there. Xiu Bai lifted his chin and pointed to the dense grass.

Xiubai discovered these red fruits early on, but he didn't know their effects and didn't care.

Su Xiangxiang was overjoyed in her heart, and immediately followed the direction pointed by Xiu Bai, and sure enough, there were more than a dozen plump ginseng columns, all hidden in the grass.

Xiu Bai followed behind Su Xiangxiang, and just wanted to ask, when he was suddenly tightly surrounded by a pair of excited arms.

That's more than 20 real ginseng trees!

Ginseng can not only replenish vitality and strengthen the body, but also can even achieve the effect of reviving the dead when a person is seriously injured, losing blood or being infected.

It's a walking lifesaver!

Su Xiangxiang had just experienced the magic of the first order, and found a large piece of precious ginseng, she was overjoyed, and excitedly hugged the only thing in front of her, and jumped up and cheered.

Xiu Bai's solid body stiffened slightly, his hands hung in the air for two seconds, infected by Su Xiangxiang's happiness, and a warm smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The two big hands quietly tightened behind Su Xiangxiang's back and gently covered Su Xiangxiang's soft waist.

The warm embrace didn't last a few seconds, Su Xiangxiang's face flushed excitedly, and she slowly discovered that something was wrong, looked up at Xiu Bai in a daze, and jumped three steps away with a snap.

"Sorry wow! I'm so excited. Su Xiangxiang scratched her head and apologized embarrassedly, her face still slightly pink.

Xiu Bai's hand was empty, and he still maintained the posture of holding his waist, shook it unnaturally in the air, and put it back to his side.

"It's fine."

After speaking, Xiubai consciously squatted down and began to dig ginseng with his long nails.

Su Xiangxiang was also embarrassed to look at it, rolled up her trouser legs, and dug with Xiu Bai.

Xiu Bai has a pair of big hands with sharp nails, comparable to an excavator, and one individual ginseng surrenders one after another.

There are a total of twenty-one ginseng plants, three of which Su Xiangxiang dug up, and the rest is all due to Xiubai.

"This is called ginseng, if you eat one when you are about to hang up, you can continue your life!" Su Xiangxiang pinched a ginseng doll and explained to Xiu Bai in a chattering manner.

"For the sake of your hard work, I'll give you half of it." Su Xiangxiang's face, my very conscientious expression.

Xiu Bai chuckled, his eyes were full of pampering, "Okay." ”

In fact, Xiubai didn't plan to take one.

As long as she is around, it is stronger than all panacea.

The two wrapped all the ginseng, turned Bai into a beast form, let Su Xiangxiang lie on his back, and grabbed his hair and returned to his place of residence first.

Su Xiangxiang had already gotten ginseng and wanted to give up the eleuthero next to the snake's nest.

Unexpectedly, Xiu Bai took advantage of her joy to clean the ginseng, and went to the cliff again, not only picked Acanthopanax, but also killed the seriously injured poisonous snake, and carried it back.

In terms of the collection of various herbs and foods, Xiu Bai has always been obedient to Su Xiangxiang.

Xiu Bai had heard Su Xiangxiang talk about the role of snake gall bladder, but he couldn't figure out the location, so he simply brought it all back and dedicated it to Su Xiangxiang.

Su Xiangxiang was pleasantly surprised today.

Two practical herbs, plus snake skin and snake gall bladder.

In the future, there is a great guarantee for going out to meet danger.

……

That night, Su Xiangxiang and Xiu Bai slept as usual.

The only difference is that Xiu Bai's dinner was secretly added by Su Xiangxiang to gastrodia.

Gastrodia is usually used to improve convulsions, paralysis of the limbs, but it can also be used to improve sleep and boost immunity.

It was night, and Xiubai slept deeply.

Since being changed by the snowy mountain, he has rarely had such a quality of sleep.

Unfortunately, the sleep did not seem pleasant, and a feeling of imminent loss enveloped the whole dream, and it was impossible to wake up.

When the first rays of sunlight shone into the cave, Xiu Bai forcibly opened his eyelids, and his heart thumped.

There was one less person in the cave, but there was one more snow-white figure.

Su Xiangxiang left.

She left behind half of the ginseng and eleuthero, snake gall bladder and snake skin, and quite a bit of air-dried meat.

There is also a snow-white fluffy little guy, it is Xiu Ye.

Xiu Bai walked around the cave with a sleepy mind, and there was no trace.

Su Xiangxiang deliberately covered up her traces with special vanilla chips.

When he returned to the cave and saw his long-lost brother, Xiu Bai always kept his face calm, and his deep eyes were uncertain.

Xiao Xiuye woke up slowly, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar face.

He vaguely remembered that he dreamed of Su Xiangxiang's soft embrace last night, and he had been carrying him for a long time, not knowing where to go.

It's just so comfortable and warm that people don't want to wake up.

"Whew~" The sleepy-eyed little Xiuye happily threw herself at Xiu Bai's feet.

It's good that my brother is okay!!

It's just that......

Although his brother was usually expressionless, Xiao Xiuye at this time obviously felt his brother's low pressure.

"Huh?" Xiao Xiuye asked tentatively.

Brother, are you alright?

Xiu Bai hid his emotions, regained his calm attitude, and squatted down to ask patiently.

"Did Xiangxiang tell you anything?"

"Whoa?" Xiao Xiuye tilted his head in thought, and whined a few times uncertainly.

She said she wanted to give me good things, let me ask my brother for it?

Xiu Bai's eyes sank.

She had already thought about leaving.

"Huh? Is the female not there? Top dog! I'm finally able to see you in the open! ”

A young man's bright and excited voice came from the entrance of the cave.

Xiu Bai got up, his expression returned to calm, and he nodded slightly, "Qiluo"

"Boss, I miss you to death, you are so badly injured, I thought you were ...... before"

Hung up three words and did not exit.

"Do you need to get her back?" A low, hoarse voice interrupted the crow's beak at the right time.

A tall male with thick eyebrows and long eyes was slowly dragged into the cave by two orcs.

Xiu Bai's eyes were slightly condensed, and he stared at the body of the curtain in silence.

In the past, he was one of the strongest orcs in the White Wolf Tribe, but it's a pity......

The atmosphere in the cave was a little depressing, and Qiluo uncomfortably avoided his eyes.

After the second brother was crippled, he became extremely taciturn, and Qiluo didn't know what to say to comfort.

Xiu Bai's steps were heavy, and he slowly stepped forward, raised a hand and put it on the pale shoulder of the curtain top, and looked directly at the curtain top, "I'm sorry." ”

The simple three words between brothers condense countless indescribable feelings.

The curtain also stared at Xiubai, and suddenly chuckled in a low voice, and his chest vibrated with it.

"I volunteered, brother." There is no regret about Xiubai's smile, but it is a little desolate.

Xiao Xiuye looked up at this, and then at that, he really couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere, and curled up his tail and shrank in the corner.

"The brothers have been waiting in the woods for a few days...... So should we find someone first or go back first? Qiluo observed Xiubai's expression and asked uncertainly.

Xiu Bai took a deep breath, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Go home and clean up the portal." ”

The words fell, and the ice-blue eyes removed all the children's private feelings, like a piece of incomparably hard ice.

Several people in the cave were also starring.

On the vast snow-capped mountains, the sky is about to change.

……

Su Xiangxiang took half of the resources and embarked on a new journey.

Along the way, she thought a lot.

The difference with Xiubai is regrettable, but it is also relieving.

Su Xiangxiang didn't want to blindly cut off the freedom to pursue love in the second half of her life in order to get a shelter.

She can't accept polyandry in the beast world.

She is focused on her career and has never looked forward to future love.

But at least, the love in her mind should be a couple for a lifetime.

Maybe in the beast world, it is difficult for her to encounter such a pure and flawless love, so she would rather lack it.

completely broke off her longing for Xiubai, as if she had learned a wish, no matter what the result was, it made Su Xiangxiang feel relaxed physically and mentally.

Along the way, Su Xiangxiang left Xiubai's shelter and lived extremely carefully.

She put on a corset, put a small amount of mud on her face, and spread her hair, disguising herself as a skinny male.

Despite the inconveniences of life, this outfit has allowed her to avoid sinister stray beasts more than once.

On the mainland, I happened to meet a group of brown bear orcs who had relocated, and most of them were arrogant, open-minded, honest and righteous.

Su Xiangxiang pretended to be a little mute, mixed in, and was taken care of by a lot of kind-hearted big brothers.

The careless brown bear males didn't recognize Su Xiangxiang's daughter, and only felt that there was a little more fragrance on the way, and they didn't pay much attention to it.
