When they came ashore, they had no means of transportation and no horses.

After walking for a while, Qin Zhiyan looked at Ruan Jiaojiao, whose cheeks were red: "Are you tired?" It's better for me to carry you. ”

Ruan Jiaojiao: "No need, I've been lying on the boat for so many days, and I'm trying to move my muscles." ”

"Oh." Qin Zhiyan was slightly disappointed.

The guard walking behind them smiled and poked his partner next to him, who was throwing an expression you know.

This barren meadow is so large that it takes about half a day to walk through the entire forest. The sky was gradually darkening, and Qin Zhiyan decided to take Ruan Jiaojiao to stay at the edge of the forest for one night first, and then enter the city early tomorrow morning.

The two guards went to the woods to chop firewood and see if they could get some game.

Qin Zhiyan took Ruan Jiaojiao to open up an open space where she could spend the night.

Ruan Jiaojiao wanted to help, but Qin Zhiyan looked at her white and soft hands and said with a smile: "You can do these rough jobs." ”

As a modern person, Ruan Jiaojiao feels that she is not so delicate, and she can stand aside and watch others work with peace of mind. What's more, Qin Zhiyan is a noble prince on weekdays.

Ruan Jiaojiao smiled and helped him move the stones on the side and built a simple stove with him.

Qin Zhiyan looked at Ruan Jiaojiao, who was working, and felt that the woman he chose was gentle and not squeamish, and she was more sensible than before.

The guards had beaten two hares, and when they brought them back, they had already processed their furs and roasted them directly on the fire.

Ruan Jiaojiao looked at the dancing flames, and then looked at the dark forest around her. My heart is very entangled.

Tonight was a good time to leave, but she was timid. Although there are no fierce beasts in this forest, what if she runs into a villain after she leaves alone? Not to mention that she still has so many silver tickets on her.

A golden crispy roasted rabbit leg was handed over, "What do you want?" So distracted. ”

Qin Zhiyan couldn't help but interrupt her thoughts when he saw her worried look.

"Oh, I'm thinking about the future." Ruan Jiaojiao said casually.

Qin Zhiyan suddenly leaned over and hugged her: "Don't worry, I have prepared a villa for you in Yunzhou, and the stewards and servants in it are all personally selected." You can live there with confidence. I will send another group of good people to do nursing homes, don't go out during this time......"

Qin Zhiyan began to babble and began to tell her about the future arrangements, and he really put his heart into it. But Ruan Jiaojiao thought that the future was not the same as him.

"Woo~Woo~" The strange cry of the night owl came from the forest, and Ruan Jiaojiao shrank a little. Qin Zhiyan smiled: "You have always been timid, are you afraid of spending the night in the woods?" Don't worry, I'll keep a vigil for you tonight. ”

Ruan Jiaojiao: Don't! He keeps vigil, how can she run?

"You haven't slept well in the past few days, so let's make up for it. I'm not too sleepy. Ruan Jiaojiao excused herself.

Qin Zhiyan smiled gently and didn't argue with her, but when it was time to rest, he spread his cloak on the hay and said to Ruan Jiaojiao: "You come over and sleep on my lap." ”

Ruan Jiaojiao was stunned, in the past few days, Qin Zhiyan could be regarded as restrained and polite. But young people can't help but make some intimate movements when facing the woman they like.

Ruan Jiaojiao has been "irresistible" by him several times, and now she goes to sleep on his lap, how can she run at night?

"Jiaojiao?" Qin Zhiyan looked at her hesitant appearance and thought she was shy.

Ruan Jiaojiao could only walk over slowly, pillowed her head on Qin Zhiyan's lap, the clothes on his body were very slippery, and I had to say that it was quite comfortable to lie down and touch the skin.

At first, Ruan Jiaojiao was a little stiff, but slowly sleepiness hit, she thought that it was better to sleep first and then run, so she fell asleep......

The sound of the "crackling" firewood woke Ruan Jiaojiao up, she moved her stiff body slightly, and found that she was still leaning on Qin Zhiyan, while he was propped up on a piece of dead wood with one hand, and breathing steadily with his eyes closed.

A word popped up in Ruan Jiaojiao's mind: "Run." ”

She slowly raised her body, trying not to wake Qin Zhiyan up. When he got up, he looked at the two guards again. The two of them were also half-leaning against the fire, as if they were dozing.

Ruan Jiaojiao's heart beat faster and faster, looked at the dark night, and picked up the package on the ground.

She walked very slowly, and even if she was discovered, she thought of a rhetoric and said that she was going to relieve herself.

In the silence of the night, there was a slight "click" sound when the footsteps stepped on the dead grass.

Ruan Jiaojiao was startled, paused, and looked back at the three people who didn't wake up. She sighed and continued her walk deeper into the woods.

When her figure was gone, Qin Zhiyan sat up slowly, and the corners of his mouth stirred with firewood twice.

As soon as Ruan Jiaojiao moved, Qin Zhiyan woke up, but he thought that Ruan Jiaojiao was tiptoeing like this to relieve his hands. She is timid and thin-skinned.

And the other two guards didn't actually sleep to death, and they had already heard Ruan Jiaojiao's footsteps. Because of the same thoughts as Qin Zhiyan, they were also pretending to be asleep.

Ruan Jiaojiao walked farther and farther, and the trees in the forest were already obscuring the light of the campfire. She began to take a deep breath and run.

Before entering the woods, she had identified the direction and kept running south.

But the forest was so lush with vegetation that even the moonlight was obscured, and Ruan Jiaojiao ran out of a short section before she was hooked by a branch and fell.

She didn't dare to scream in pain, and scolded Qin Yuezu for the eighteen generations in her heart. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't be here.

Just as Ruan Jiaojiao got up and was about to continue running, a warm voice suddenly came from behind her: "Jiaojiao, why did you run so far, can I come over?" ”

Ruan Jiaojiao...... She was desperate.

"I'm fine," Ruan Jiaojiao's voice looked aggrieved because of the pain, "Don't come here yet." ”

Qin Zhiyan stood still and didn't move, "Be careful." ”

Ruan Jiaojiao stood up and deliberately dusted off her clothes. Then he limped in the direction where Qin Zhiyan was.

"Jiaojiao?" Qin Zhiyan immediately stepped forward to hold her hand, but when he saw the package on Ruan Jiaojiao's body, his eyes couldn't help but sink, and the hand holding her was a little tighter.

The forest was dim, Ruan Jiaojiao didn't see Qin Zhiyan's expression clearly, but her heart was beating like a drum. She followed Qin Zhiyan and walked a few steps, feeling a faint pain in her knee, probably from a fall just now.

Qin Zhiyan noticed that Ruan Jiaojiao was limping when she walked, and hugged her without saying a word.

"Eh......" Ruan Jiaojiao felt that Qin Zhiyan's mood was wrong, but she couldn't refuse because of her weak heart. He could only carry him out of the woods with trepidation.

Seeing that Qin Zhiyan had been gone for so long, the two guards were standing in place looking into the woods, and when they saw Qin Zhiyan coming out with Ruan Jiaojiao in his arms, their expressions relaxed, and they sat down by the fire and pretended to take a nap.

Qin Zhiyan carefully put Ruan Jiaojiao where she was sitting, stared at the package in her hand and asked, "Jiaojiao, what are you doing in the forest in the middle of the night?" ”
