Chapter 7 Ah Li is gone

Ye Sili looked up at the sky and said with some worry: "It seems that we can't go back today." ”

It would take an hour to get back from here, and even more so than they are now?

"Don't worry." Gu Liwu gently patted her shoulder.

Ye Sili looked up at Gu Li and smiled, showing that she was not afraid.

Fortunately, Mu Jiufeng had prepared a lot of things before setting off, and although the carriage was missing at the moment, these things had already been moved down by them.

"Jiufeng, you've finally done something reliable." Ye Sili turned his head and said to Mu Jiufeng while packing up the quilt.

Mu Jiufeng was terrible, Ye Sili praised him, and his tail couldn't wait to go up to the sky.

"Of course, when did I do things unreliable? If I hadn't been far-sighted, you would have frozen to death tonight, if you didn't starve to death. ”

Xiao Ling glanced at him with disgust, ignored him, and helped Sili clean up the quilt.

Gu Liwu extinguished the firewood that had been burned, looked around and said: "This place is too close to the river, and it is windy at night, and it has rained in bad areas recently, so we spend the night here, I'm afraid it's not safe." ”

Mu Jiufeng got up and patted the ash on his hands, and thought, "Then let's go to the cave where we went in the afternoon, although the depths are wet, we only need to settle at the entrance of the cave and have a shelter from the wind." ”

"Yes." Gu Liwu nodded and agreed.

Although the cave was damp inside, there were no water stains at the entrance of the cave, and the entrance was covered by many weeds, so it was impossible to find it at night.

Gu Liwu looked at Si Li and Xiao Ling and asked their opinions, Si Li and the two naturally agreed, and the four of them packed up their things and walked to the cave.

Rao is Mu Jiufeng brought a quilt and two cloaks, but they couldn't withstand the night breeze in October.

The unique quilt is naturally covered by Sili and Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling ran out secretly, in order to facilitate movement, so he didn't wear a lot of clothes, and it was even colder at night, Ye Sili put the cloak on Xiao Ling again, which was slightly better.

Gu Liwu got up and cleaned up the surroundings a little, then lit the firewood that Mu Jiufeng had picked up, and with a burning fire, the four of them felt that the cave was not so cold.

Mu Jiufeng slept on the outermost side, but he blocked a lot of cold wind for them, Gu Li glanced at it, saw Mu Jiufeng huddled in a ball, and threw another cloak to him in disgust.

"I don't need to, my son is in good health, where is he so delicate? It's better to cover it yourself. Mu Jiufeng didn't appreciate it, and threw the cloak on Gu Liwu again.

Gu Liwu turned his head to look at Si Li who was sleeping on the side, Si Li and Xiao Ling were covered with the quilt and fell asleep.

Gu Liwu got up and threw the cloak on Mu Jiufeng again, and without waiting for Mu Jiufeng to react, he went straight to the fire and sat down, and whispered: "In the wilderness, you don't feel at ease at night, I'm here to guard, you go to sleep first." ”

Mu Jiufeng was about to speak, but Gu Liwu said again:

"It's not such a good thing, you sleep in the first half of the night, and I'll call you when the hour comes."

Mu Jiufeng gave him a blank look, and he was not hypocritical, he put on his cloak and fell asleep.

Even if it is in the cave, you can still smell the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, Gu Liwu sat by the fire, added some firewood from time to time, listened to the slight "crackling" sound of the fire, and looked up at the world outside.

There is no moon tonight, but through the thorn vine above the cave entrance, I can see a few very bright stars, Gu Li looked at the stars in the sky worriedly, and there was a dullness in his eyes that Si Li had never seen before.

After a long time, Gu Liwu lowered his head, and caught a glimpse of the jade pendant he was carrying with him out of the corner of his eye, which was a symbol of the children of the Ye family, seven years ago, Ye Zhongyao told the world that he Gu Liwu was no longer an orphan floating everywhere, but a child of his Ye family, the eldest son of the Ye family, so he wore this jade pendant for seven years.

Gu Liwu turned his head to look at the sleeping Si Li, Si Li slept peacefully, even in the wilderness, as long as there was a place where Gu Liwu was, Si Li slept so peacefully.

On weekdays, if Ye Sili listened to some terrifying words from the outside, he couldn't sleep at night, so he often got up and slipped into his Yulan Courtyard, at first he would always wake up reflexively, holding the jade flute in one hand, with a cautious appearance, his reaction was a little too much, and he often scared Sili.

Later, he gradually got used to it, and when he noticed Si Li entering the door, he would take the initiative to get up and let the bed out and sleep on the couch on one side.

That's it, no matter what terrible words Si Li listened to outside, as long as Gu Liwu was by her side, she always slept peacefully.

Gu Liwu noticed his casual smile, turned his head a little awkwardly, and lowered his head to add firewood without a match, as if he was thinking about something, and as if he was just in a daze.

The night wind suddenly became a little strong, blowing the weeds at the entrance of the cave, Gu Liwu moved in the direction of Ye Siyi's sleep, blocking in front of her, seeing that she only shrank slightly and didn't wake up, Gu Liwu was relieved.

Suddenly, accompanied by a slightly louder wind, the flute sounded faintly, at first it was intermittent, and then it was like a breeze and flowing water, carrying the night breeze, Gu Li listened carefully, only felt that this tune was very familiar, and had some doubts in his heart, and then looked down at the sleeping three, and then softly looked for the flute and went out.

Gu Li searched for the sound of the flute to the upper reaches of the river, there were barren grass everywhere, and the river was flowing over the pebbles, where was there half a figure?

Gu Liwu slowly held the jade flute on his waist and looked around cautiously, Fang Cai's flute stopped abruptly, Gu Liwu stood in place, empty everywhere, as if everything in Fang Cai was just his illusion.

He felt that something was wrong, and thought that the three people who were still in the cave, so he did not pursue it further, but returned to the cave the same way.

As soon as he arrived at the cave, Gu Li was worried about his feet, and looked at Si Li, who was supposed to lie in the cave and sleep, but disappeared at this moment!

Gu Liwu looked at the quilt that had been lifted, and Xiao Ling on the side was still asleep, thinking that Si Li might have woken up in the middle of the night, so he quietly searched around the cave, but found no trace at all, and then thought of the flute that suddenly appeared, and immediately returned to the cave.

Mu Jiufeng also rubbed his eyes, looked at the anxious Gu Liwu standing at the entrance of the cave, and asked in a lazy voice:

"It's my time for a vigil?"

Gu Liwu glanced at Mu Jiufeng, rarely showed an anxious look, and said, "Ah Li is gone!" ”

Hearing this, Mu Jiufeng immediately bounced up, looked around, stared at the lifted quilt and said:

"Could she be up late?"

Gu Liwu shook his head and said, "No, I have already looked around and there is no one." ”

Xiao Ling was woken up by the conversation between the two, and found that Si Li on his side was gone, so he was startled and asked, "Where is Si Li?" ”

Mu Jiufeng explained simply, and the three of them did not hesitate at all, and immediately looked around for Si Li.

Mu Jiufeng and Xiao Ling searched carefully around the cave, and Gu Liwu ran to the place where they rested during the day, and even searched a long way along the river.

"Ah Li, Ah Li......"

"Si Li, where are you ......?"

"Sili ......"

The sky was gradually getting brighter, and Mu Jiufeng and Xiao Ling ran to meet Gu Liwei.

Mu Jiufeng looked very worried, and said: "I've searched all the neighborhoods, but I haven't found Si Li, where will she go alone?" "Anyway, after thinking about it, Si Li didn't make sense to leave without saying a word, isn't it......

"Could it be that Sili was robbed by someone?"

But Sili rarely goes out alone on weekdays, she is always accompanied by Gu Liwu and Mu Jiufeng, and there is no enemy, besides, if she is robbed, as long as she resists a little last night, Mu Jiufeng and Gu Liwu will definitely notice, and her quilt is obviously lifted by herself.

Gu Liwu was silent, but for the first time there was panic in his eyes, and suddenly, his eyes sank, and he said, "Maybe I know where she is." With that, he ran up the river.

Mu Jiufeng and Xiao Ling followed closely behind.

Gu Liwu relied on his memory to find the flute he was looking for last night, and sure enough, he ......

Ahead, the girl fell thinly dressed by the river, which had already wet her feet and skirt.

"Ah Li!"

Gu Liwu quickly ran over, squatted beside Si Li, his hands just touched Ye Si Li's body, but found that her body was so cold that his hands were piercing, Gu Liwu's face turned white in an instant, and he carefully probed her snort before he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Si Li!"

"Si Li!"

Mu Jiufeng and Xiao Ling were also startled when they looked at Ye Sili who was unconscious.

Gu Liwu hurriedly took off his coat to cover Si Li, picked her up carefully, and found a safe and clean place to put Si Li down.

Xiao Ling glanced at Gu Liwu and Mu Jiufeng, turned his back to the two of them and took off Si Li's shoes and socks, wiped the water on Si Li's feet with his skirt, and then wrung out the water on Si Li's skirt, and took off the cloak on his body to cover Si Li tightly.

"Si Li, wake up! Si Li! Xiao Ling looked at Si Li, whose face was pale, and forced her to cry, calling out to her in a panic.

Mu Jiufeng diagnosed Si Li's pulse, only to say that she had passed out due to a cold, but her worried look couldn't be hidden, and he called her name one by one, trying to wake up the unconscious Si Li.

Ye Sili's whole body was cold, and it did not improve in the slightest because of the cloak on her body, Gu Liwu held her hand, only a trace of residual warmth in the palm of her hand made Gu Liwu feel a little more relieved.

Gu Liwu stretched out his hand to hold Si Li in his arms, holding Si Li's cold hand tightly with both hands, Xiao Ling was a little surprised when he saw this, and felt that Yu Li was unreasonable and wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Mu Jiufeng.

I saw that Ye Sili's pale lips slowly became a little bloody, his eyelashes moved slightly, Gu Liwu slowly withdrew his internal strength, and looked at the person in his arms worriedly.

Ye Sili slowly opened his eyes and looked at the three people in front of him, only to find that he was tightly surrounded by them.
