Chapter 20: A Cool Night

"Again?"

"Oh, by the way, my brother stayed there to save himself, I have to go and see if he's still alive." Although I think Li Yang is more than lucky, I still have to confirm it, what if I don't die and still be saved?

"Senior brother?"

I nodded, "yes, that's a long story, but I'm now an apprentice in a medical hall. ”

Chu Zhilan's eyes sank, "Medical hall? Which clinic? Sorenkan? ”

"Yes, yes, you can guess accurately."

"Because Zongren Pavilion has always been responsible for providing diagnosis and treatment and medicinal materials to the Min Wang's Mansion," Chu Zhilan picked up the dagger that I accidentally dropped when I fell just now, "Qingyi, I don't know what you heard from Bai Tingyu, but you should know that he can't be trusted." ”

I lowered my head and patted the hem of my clothes stained with dead leaves, "I know, I don't care if what he says is credible or not, I want to confirm even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance." "I took the dagger from him," Bai Tingyu said that you gave me the dagger, what? This sentence is also not credible? ”

"No, pick it up for you."

"Let's go, let's see if my unlucky senior # brother is still alive."

"Qingyi, don't you want the mule?"

I looked at the place where Chu Zhilan was pointing, "The mule belongs to the medical hall, and it must be brought back, but it is too strong." "I stepped forward to pull it, because I was frightened just now, and this animal #sheng is even more reluctant to go." You see, I can't pull it. ”

Chu Zhilan leaned over, glanced at the beast, and said unhurriedly: "If you can't pull it, you can slaughter it." ”

The mule grinded its hooves twice on the spot and followed on its own.

When the sun sets, the light is dim, and only a broken hair crown remains on the cliff side of the mountain road. I took Chu Zhilan's hand and leaned over to probe under the cliff, but found nothing.

"It's over, it's over, it's so high! Chu Zhilan, my senior brother probably won't survive. ”

He took my hand and pulled me away from the edge of the cliff. "Not necessarily, I know the people who are chasing and killing you, they are all masters, if he dies, he will be killed by one move and die in place, what they want is that someone will die in front of him in vain, and he will not be pushed down.

"Them?"

"It's two people, I've been looking for them for a long time, and I was going to kill them."

"That's what you call 'going to a place I don't know and doing something that has nothing to do with me,' right?"

Chu Zhilan nodded.

I sneered, "Okay, it's about me now, they want to kill me." ”

"It's okay, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to find them now."

I looked down at the hands of the two of us tightly # clasped together, and kept convincing myself inwardly: I like him, I like him, I like him......

"Qingyi, your face is ugly."

I raised my head angrily, but Chu Zhilan was laughing.

"Chu Zhilan, do you really like me?" A person who once wanted to kill me with a dagger, played missing many times, and attacked me with a poisonous tongue every time they met, I really can't see that he likes me.

Chu Zhilan held the mule in one hand and me in the other, "Guess." ”

"I guess you like it to death!"

......

......

"Ruoying, what about that Langzhong?"

Ruoying grabbed Cui Zhao's arm, "Are you injured?" He tore Cui Zhao's clothes, and the fine sword wounds made him tremble. Deadly ghosts? ”

"It's okay, it's not fatal, I ran away." Cui Zhao put on his clothes and avoided Ruoying's gaze, "I'm just curious why he wanted to kill me as soon as he came up." Because of him, I couldn't solve the little follower who was walking with Langzhong. ”

"It seems that this mission has encountered a tricky problem, and Lang Zhong has also run away." Ruoying took out the golden medicine to stop bleeding, and couldn't help but press Cui Zhao on the seat. "That Langzhong is not simple, he is a secret master, I can't see his moves."

"I think you've always been right, Childe is too underestimated. Bai Tingyu is really not a simple person to deal with. Cui Zhao's eyebrows furrowed, "Ruoying, tap." ”

Ruoying reduced the strength of his hand, "Heh, he has always been like that, conceited to the point of pity and pathetic." ”

Cui Zhao hurriedly reprimanded: "Ruoying! ”

Ruoying used the palm of her hand to prescribe the medicine, "If you yell at me again, I will use my strength!" ”

......

......

"Do you think I am short of wood in my life? Otherwise, why do I sleep in the mountains and old forests every time? ”

Fortunately, the mule didn't run, and I took out the brocade that was originally going to be used to seal the red scene as a quilt, and the dark night in the mountains in autumn was very cold. I spread out the brocade forging, and two jars slipped out of it, and I scrambled to pick them up.

I almost forgot, it was the wine that the shopkeeper gave me when I stayed in a tavern outside the city, and I thought that maybe I could use it when I went out to buy medicine, and it was good to give it as a gift to the pharmacist or drink it myself on the way. Not far away, Chu Zhilan had already burned the bonfire, and I took the wine jar over to roast the fire, and my cold body quickly warmed up.

"Can you go hunt rabbits again? I've got wine here. ”

The moment I found the wine, I secretly thought about how comfortable it would be to eat roast rabbit meat and drink Yunjiang's wine!

Chu Zhilan picked up his sword, "I'll go back as soon as I go, you just don't move around where you are." ”

I nodded, opened the sealed jug and sniffed it. This tempting aroma of wine is really top. This taste is different from ordinary wine, and I think it is also, Yunjiang's wine must have some medicinal herbs in it. I originally wanted to wait for Chu Zhilan to come back and drink together, after all, eating alone is not my style. But I couldn't resist the aroma of the wine, and I was a little thirsty, so I tasted it first, and I couldn't stop tasting it.

What kind of elixir jade dew is this! It's so delicious, I don't think I've ever drunk such delicious wine in the first half of my life as a princess of a country. The long and thick taste has a hint of sweetness, and the tip of the tongue is slightly numb after drinking, but it does not stimulate the spicy throat at all. The stomach is like a small stove lit, and it doesn't feel cold at all in the middle of the night in the mountains and forests.

I took small sips for fear that I would drink it all before Chu Zhilan came back. After all, my father once said, "Good wine should be drunk with the beauties you love." ”

I heard footsteps behind me, and when I turned around, I saw Chu Zhilan coming back with something in his hand.

"Beauty~Come and drink~"

Chu Zhilan walked over and bent down to stare at me for a long time, and I looked at him and let him look at me. I don't know if I'm a little drunk, but he's so good-looking now, and even the scar on the left side of his face I feel a different kind of charm. Well...... How so? Like a slender willow leaf.

My ghost sent a god to reach out and stroke his scar, "You are like a thin willow leaf." I looked into his eyes again, and I was even more glad, because I knew very well that those eyes were looking at my sweetheart. I touched the corner of his eye from his scar, "And here, too, like a thin willow leaf." ”

"Qingyi, you're drunk."

Am I drunk? It seems like a little. "Chu Zhilan, I'm hungry."

A wolf snake hung in front of my eyes, and my wine was half awake......

I subconsciously stepped back, "What's this?" ”

"It's a wolf snake." Chu Zhilan replied.

I gradually broke down, "Of course I know it's a wolf snake. ”

"This is a snake unique to Yunjiang, and it is often used in medicine to ......"

"Often used in medicine, it has the effect of relieving pain and removing stasis, dispelling dampness and detoxifying." I have a smooth mouth on my mouth, but my heart is dead.

Chu Zhilan hung the snake in front of my eyes, he definitely did it on purpose!

"I didn't expect you to learn so well."

"Thanks for the compliment, but can you take it away from my eyes first?"

"Qingyi is afraid of this?" He approached me with a wolf snake, and I subconsciously dodged back, but he grabbed me with one hand. "Fire in the back, be careful."

"Chu Zhilan, if you do this again, I will jump into the bonfire and set myself on fire!" I said indignantly.

He stood up with the snake in his hand, "Well, the wine is sober." He coiled the wolf snake around and strung it together, "It just looks ugly and scary, and it tastes good." ”

"Deep in the mountains and mountains, do I have a choice for a little woman who has no power to restrain chickens?" I handed him a jar of wine, "This wine is also very good, let's drink it together." ”

After the wolf snake is grilled, the aroma is overflowing, it tastes like a kind of delicious fish, and the wine is mellow, which is a perfect match! I don't know if it's easy to get intoxicated, but I took two sips and felt fluttering.

I watched Chu Zhilan beside me open another jar of wine and take a sip, and asked, "How is it?" It's delicious! ”

He put down the jar and glanced at the wine thoughtfully, and I was dissatisfied, "What? Do you suspect it's poisonous? Don't worry, this drink was given by the tavern Xiao Er where I live outside the city, and I have been hiding it by my side, and no one knows. ”

"Hmm." He nodded, didn't say anything, and took a drink.

I've eaten all my meat, and I'm gone, but I don't feel full.

I stared at the meat and wine in Chu Zhilan's hand, especially the wine. When people drink, they will show some expressions more or less, or they will be stimulated by the spicy wine to frown, or they will be comfortable because of the delicious taste of the wine. But Chu Zhilan drank with an expressionless face, and you would even wonder if he was drinking water.

The wine was swallowed with his rolling Adam's apple, and I could see that my lips and tongue were dry. I sat next to him, put my hands around his neck, and watched him drink up close.

Chu Zhilan didn't even look at me when I did this, and still ate meat and drank wine in my own way. When he was drinking, I got up and looked up to find his lips.

The drink was in my throat, and I didn't dare to retreat, so I had to wait for him to let go.

The softness of the touch, the stimulation of the slight numbness of the wine, made my mind dizzy, my limbs were weak, I sat backwards, and was stopped by Chu Zhilan and hugged in my arms.

Everything came suddenly but logically.

"There's something wrong with this wine." I am now lying in Chu Zhilan's arms, with my head resting on his forearm on his lap.

Chu Zhilan said unhurriedly: "Immortal Fruit Wine is often used to make joint wine in Yunjiang. As he spoke, he took another sip, "It will also be used in some flower buildings." ”

I lay in his arms, watching him drink indifferently, as if I was being scratched by a cat. I suppressed the urge in my heart, "Why didn't you say it sooner?" ”

Chu Zhilan looked down at me with a smile in the corner of her eyes, "What is there to say, it's just a little rushing." Medicinal liquor with emotional efficacy only.

Where is this just a little? It's like ......

"I'll be fine." Chu Zhilan looked down at me for a long time, and the smile on her face was warm.

My heart is itchy but unwilling, "You tune." Play me? ”

Chu Zhilan lowered her head and whispered in my ear: "You hit a rake." The soft breath and the smell of wine fell on my ears, challenging my self-control. This guy definitely did it on purpose!

Since this is already the case, I don't want to lose face, what are I doing suppressing myself? Directly break the kettle and sink the boat, break the jar and break it! I sat up and hooked his neck, eager to find the corner of his mouth.

There was no refusal, no breaking free. The warm palm on my waist gently patted my back again and again, calming my hot heart.

I stopped.

"What? Need to catch your breath? He asked nonchalantly, his fingers pinching my earlobes and rubbing them gently, "Are your ears red?" ”

Damn, I'm sure, this guy is tuning. Play me! It's still a serious tune. Play! But it doesn't matter, when you meet me Xu Qingyi, who will suffer is not necessarily!

I grabbed the hem of his shirt with both hands, "Don't be arrogant, you ...... today"

"How am I today?" He took my wrist in one hand and looked at me as he looked at me, his eyes glowing a strange red in the light of the campfire, and a smile raging in it.

"You will lose yourself to me today!"

He didn't show the slightest flustery or shock at my crazy words, but just snorted provocatively in my ear: "Qingyi, you can't do it." ”

…………

Chu Zhilan, a man, snickered beside me quite energetically.

"You let go of me!"

"You haven't fulfilled your vows yet."

"Okay, okay, you're right, I can't do it, so I won't do it, mother, you let me go!" I got angry and bit down on his hand, he snorted in pain and let go of his hand for a moment, and I took the opportunity to break free only to be picked up by him from behind.

He smiled triumphantly, "Don't leave me." ”

I collapsed: "Then you give it to me!" ”

"No."

"Then you let go of me!"

"Not loose."

……

What is despair! Deep in the mountains and mountains, the love is bound, but the concubine is ruthless! Whenever I was in love, the hand that stretched out to Chu Zhilan's shirt or belt would be pulled away by him. Every time!

"Chu Zhilan, are you not good?"

"I can, you can't."

"Why can't I?" I was so angry that I kicked him and was caught by his legs, I hit him with my hands and he grabbed him with my hands. In the end, I was like a rabbit caught by him, with my hands and feet tied.

As soon as my scalp was loosened, the crown of hair on my head was removed, and the slender hair fell out to cover my eyes. He brushed away the hair in front of my eyes and pinned it behind my ear.

"You don't have any, how can you do it?"

"Huh? What do you mean? "I didn't react for a while, but then I realized: I've always been menswear.

His lips pressed to my ear and he asked solemnly, "Do you have one?" ”

Big brother, can we not ask this kind of question with a serious face? Also, you should thank me for not having it, I'm afraid that I will scare you if I do.

I was so exhausted that I had to stop struggling, disarm, and surrender. Chu Zhilan gently ran her fingers around my hair, and tiredness hit me.

"Qingyi?"

"Huh?" I responded vaguely.

"Sleep in peace."

"You."

What do you do without sleeping? Serious business? Do you give?

The warm breath wrapped around the side of my neck, and my heart moved: Isn't it, again? I turned over, but I saw Chu Zhilan's dark eyes looking at me bottomless, and I reached for his belt and didn't see him stop me.

I stopped, flipped back and turned my back to him. The person behind him seemed to be getting farther and farther away, and the warm back was getting colder.

"Chu Zhilan, I'm cold."

Not long after saying this, it was as if my whole body had suddenly fallen into the medicine furnace, and the warm embrace made me feel extremely reassured.
