Chapter Twenty-Three: Lu Nian, Is It Sweet?

The two walked up in silence, in the woods, thriving everywhere they looked.

The sunlight falls through the cracks in the canopy, and the air is filled with the fragrance of leaves and grass, which is refreshing.

Many hurried-looking people gradually passed the two of them, and these people did not have a surplus of silver to pay for the expensive sedan chair man's poor family.

The thoughts of wanting to pray were written on his face, and the pace of his feet was quick.

Chi Suihe stared quietly without blinking, and when he saw a woodcutter dressed in coarse cloth and carrying a bundle of firewood on his back, his heart suddenly began to beat faster.

His eyes slid to his slightly bulging waist, and when he caught the little red that was exposed, his pupils shrank suddenly.

While the blood flow became faster and his mouth was inexplicably dry, Chi Suihe kept swallowing to relieve the tension.

Lu Nian sensed that something was wrong with her and approached silently, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Before she could speak, the boy who followed the woodcutter suddenly turned his head to look in their direction.

Seeing the extraordinary vigilance in his eyes, Chi Suihe's eyelids jumped, and Lu Nian reacted and picked her up.

The world swirled, and the exclamation was suppressed in the throat, "Miss, offended." ”

Seeing this, the people around cast their eyes.

Seeing that he was standing upright without squinting and walking up with people in his arms, half of the face of the person in his arms couldn't be seen, he just thought it was an awkward newlywed couple who didn't sit in a soft sedan chair, and they silently retracted it after teasing for a moment.

The woodcutter noticed the movement, looked at the backs of the two passing by, and lowered his voice and ordered the boy beside him, "Hurry up." ”

"Lu Nian, have you seen clearly?"

Lu Nian put her down steadily on a flat ground, saw that she looked nervous, and thought carefully.

"The man walked such a long mountain road without any fatigue, his steps were steady and powerful, and he was a martial artist. If the woodcutter is also excusable, but the wood knife in his back basket is very new and has not yet been sharpened.

There were many good firewood along the road, and he didn't touch it, and his steps were hurried as if he was going straight to something, and he was in such a hurry, but there was a child with him by his side, it was really suspicious, and he still had a very faint smell on him, and he smelled likeβ€”β€”"

"Gunpowder!"

Lu Nian was slightly stunned at her extremely bright eyes, and then nodded silently, "Well, this smell is very familiar, like gunpowder." ”

He was conservative, but Chi Suihe was sure that the woodcutter was tied to a large bundle of gunpowder.

The first plot point of the male and female protagonists in the original book is in this Baisheng Mountain.

Someone set fire to the Baisheng Temple, disturbing the people and alarming the imperial court, but they didn't expect that this was a game of catching turtles in an urn.

The imperial court sent Zhao Jinwu, the male protagonist of the original book, the general who protected the country, the mountain fire was extinguished, and a team of people were also plotted-

Zhao Jinwu was seriously injured and his whereabouts are unknown, Emperor An was furious, and the court was in chaos.

Chi Jiahe saved the male protagonist in such a situation, but was picked up by Xiao Yiyi.

When she saw this paragraph, she didn't understand why the heroine had already helped, and she knew that it was Zhao Jinwu who was saved, so why did she pretend that nothing happened.

Later, I learned that among the people who came to pray for blessings, there was also the prince of the An Dynasty hidden in it, and the people behind the plot could be punished, and the family who was still praying in the temple was listed as a key object of suspicion, and people were panicked.

And the fuse of all this is just a woodcutter who is not good-looking, and it is an unintentional mistake to be found out and bitten to death, and finally the pot is placed on Jin Guo and the case is hastily closed.

"Lu Nian, what do you say he wants to do when he carries a large bundle of gunpowder up the mountain?"

Lu Nian quietly glanced at her, did not say the answer, only said firmly: "Miss already has a plan in her heart." ”

Chi Suihe couldn't say it.

She thought of this yesterday and found an excuse to lose weight on a whim and hiked up the mountain, but she didn't think that she would really bump into this woodcutter by mistake.

But everyone in the book has been arranged for fate, and she just wants to save her life

PC, what can she do?

"Mademoiselle doesn't want to save them."

"I...."Chi Suihe was caught off guard and was exposed, and his face was confused.

Lu Nian nodded, "Then let's go." ”

The two continued to climb up in silence, and the more Chi Suihe walked, the heavier his heart became.

It's true that she is afraid of death, but she can't be indifferent knowing that tragedy will happen, otherwise what is the point of her presence here.

The branches of Baisheng Mountain are lush and the ancient trees are towering to the sky, and a little wind and grass can make the flames of the stars spread throughout the mountains.

Moving with the wind, many people can be burned to death without much effort, and there is no way to escape in the heat wave.

Chi Suihe shook, and his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand on his feet.

Someone touched her lightly from behind, causing her to almost pounce forward, and Lu Nian quickly pulled the person back.

"Son, run slower and be careful of falling!"

The child who ran by smiled and looked back, "Daddy, hurry up!" After picking herbs, I have to pray for A-Niang! ”

His father answered twice and caught up, passing by Chi Suihe's side and swaying, he was helped by Lu Nian and smiled gratefully at them.

"Laughing, my son was a little reckless today, but did he collide with two nobles?"

Chi Suihe shook his head, "Uncle, this is taking the child to the Hundred Sages Temple to pray for blessings?" ”

"Yes, the child has been sick in bed for a long time, and after receiving the doctor's prescription, she has come to the mountains to collect herbs every day, and the disease has finally improved, and now she can get out of bed. Don't you rush to bring children to pray for blessings, I have to say that this Hundred Holy Mountains are really spiritual. ”

Uncle raised his eyebrows and gave a thumbs up.

Chi Suihe was infected by his emotions, and unconsciously raised his lips.

"Daddy, let's go! A-Niang is still waiting for us at home, A-Niang should be in a hurry when it's late! ”

"It's coming!" The uncle nodded to the two of them and sped up his pace to climb up, and he was full of energy when he looked at the back.

Chi Suihe watched silently, exhaled heavily, and lowered his eyebrows.

A cool wind came through the gap in the mountains and forests, Lu Nian stood beside her and felt it quietly, and suddenly spoke: "Miss can do anything." ”

Chi Suihe suddenly came back to his senses from his trance, and the young man's starry eyebrows and eyes were close at hand.

Seeing with his eyes, it seemed that all his thoughts were revealed, and he suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.

The lip flap moved slightly and wanted to say something, but Yu Guang saw that the woodcutter was following from a distance, and as if he had made up his mind, he pulled Lu Nian and continued to go up.

I don't know how long I walked, but I felt that the mountain road seemed to have no end, and finally stopped outside the temple.

As soon as Chi Jiahe saw her, he greeted her, and saw that she was sweating and was very helpless, but she couldn't blame her, so she wiped her stiffly.

Qian Lan handed her a kettle and fanned her distressedly, "We have only arrived in a sedan chair for a while, why did you rush like this?" What about Lu Nian? ”

"Lu Nian is still behind, I'll ask him to help me pick flowers."

Chi Suihe gobbled up the water and said casually, this reason seemed like something she would do, and the two didn't say much.

Tons drank most of the pot of water, wiped his mouth casually, and saw that Chi Jiahe's delicate lips were a little dry, so he pushed the kettle to her.

"It's dry, and my sister needs to drink more water."

Chi Jiahe licked his lips and looked uncomfortable, but took the kettle but did not move.

Chi Suihe was puzzled and looked at Qian Lan.

Qian Lan sighed lightly: "The little monk who carried water today is sick, and there is a shortage of manpower in the temple, and the water in the temple is not enough. Now I can only hold on to the water brought from the house, but the temple has already been arranged, and there are still so many people waiting for drinking water to rest. ”

Not enough water? How could it be such a coincidence?

Chi Suihe's eyelids jumped wildly when he heard this, and his heart was as anxious as if a hundred claws were scratching his heart.

Returning to the room, he paced back and forth anxiously, and after a few turns, he finally waited for a knock on the door, "Miss." ”

opened the door and pulled Lu Nian in, and couldn't wait to ask, "Lu Nian, what's wrong?" Didn't find out, right? ”

Lu Nian shook his head, lowered his head and untied his robe, and poured the explosives he picked up on the table, "Except for the man's body, everything he buried all the way is here." ”

The smell of extreme choking spread, Chi Suihe sneezed a little, greatly relieved, and his eyes were full of smiles, "Lu Nian, you are amazing!" ”

Lu Nian coughed uncomfortably and handed her the bamboo pipe that had been holding steadily in his hand.

"On the slave road, I heard that there was a shortage of water in the temple, so I brought some back when I passed by a mountain spring, and the young lady moistened her throat."

Chi Suihe looked at the handful of clear spring handed to him, and the freshness that moistened his heart and spleen came to his face, and he seemed to be able to taste the sweetness before he drank it.

There is a shortage of water in the temple, and the nearest spring water must have been snatched up, and he doesn't know how hard it took to "pass by" to find this clear handful.

Chi Suihe stared at the sweat on his forehead, pushed the bamboo pipe back, and whispered, "Lu Nian, you drink it yourself." ”

Lu Nian paused, cautiously moved, and was a little at a loss.

"But did the slave get back late and make Miss angry?"

Chi Suihe paused, distressed and angry for a while, sat down with him, took the bamboo pipe and carefully held it to his dry and slightly cracked lips.

Lu Nian looked at her and subconsciously opened his mouth, and the cool spring water slid into his body like a conscious speed, ironing the whole restless heart.

Chi Suihe maintained a posture and watched his swallowing movements, inexplicably feeling like he was feeding small animals, staring at his gradually moist lips one by one.

muttered: "Lu Nian, is it sweet?" ”

Lu Nian brushed her hand away, twisted away a red face, coughed earth-shatteringly, didn't dare to look at her, and nodded silently.

The heat around him floated, and he stood up and rolled up a bundle on the table, dropped a sentence of "slave go and deal with these things first" and hurried away without looking back.

Leaving Chi Suihe standing silently with a blank face, all he could think about was Lu Nian's rosy lips.

His eyelashes trembled, and the ghost envoy raised the bamboo pipe in his hand and took a small sip.

The sweet taste penetrated deep into the bone marrow, Chi Suihe's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but take several sips.

Lu Nian, who turned around and came back and had something to say, happened to have a full view of this scene, and the heat that had finally dispersed swept over his head again, making his head dizzy.

Flee.

Chi Jiahe took the pastry and happened to bump into him, and said suspiciously: "Lu Nian? ”

Since no one answered, the person who was stopped only nodded and ran as fast as he could.
