The night fell, everyone fell asleep, it was already the second half of the night, according to the agreement with Wang Ye, it was Zhou Xingyu's turn to keep vigil in the second half of the night, he sat alone on a raised stone, quietly waiting for the dawn.

He clasped his hands around his chest, his eyes staring at the sky, I don't know if it was an illusion, since his cultivation has been achieved, he always feels that the sea of stars on the other side of the sky is getting brighter and brighter day by day.

Every night when the sky is clear, the stars fall and the stars fall, and the night will be as bright as day, if it weren't for the corresponding heat, Zhou Xingyu would even think that it was daytime.

There was a sound of broken footsteps behind him, and from a distance, Zhou Xingyu asked for a familiar smell, and after knowing that it was an acquaintance, he didn't even turn his head, and still maintained his previous posture.

The owner of the footsteps quickly came behind him, and after the other party stopped, Zhou Xingyu asked, "Miss Qin, don't sleep at night, is there something wrong?" ”

The person who came was Qin Yumian of the Qin family.

For this good-looking eldest lady, Zhou Xingyu's senses are still quite good, not only has a good way to control her, but also sticks to the bottom line, and even risked her life in order to save her relatives, and she didn't flinch when she encountered so many dangers.

"Zhou Shaoxia, can I sit down and talk?" Qin Yumian asked, his voice soft and glutinous, which made people feel good.

Zhou Xingyu nodded, pointed to a stone not far away, and said, "Miss Qin is free." ”

"Thank you!" After speaking, Qin Yumian came straight to Zhou Xingyu's side and sat down almost next to him.

Smelling the burst of fat powder fragrance coming from beside him, and hearing the sound of the other party's breathing that became a little short because of nervousness, Zhou Xingyu frowned, he had already pointed out the place to the other party, Qin Yumian still chose to sit next to him, could it be because it was too dark and the other party didn't see it?

Zhou Xingyu was silent for a while, but finally didn't say anything.

Seeing that Zhou Xingyu had no opinion on his actions, Qin Yumian breathed a sigh of relief and gradually relaxed his heart.

They will arrive at their destination tomorrow, and whether or not they find the fire reishi mushroom, they will have to return to the town.

Zhou Xingyu and Wang Ye and their party will choose to leave and continue their journey.

She herself would also leave Red Medicine Town and try her luck elsewhere to see if she could find the Fire Lingzhi or bring it back to her family.

Zhou Xingyu has a strong martial arts, and along the way, he has encountered a lot of large and small attacks along the way, but he has easily solved it every time. He is so young, he must have come from the Damen sect.

After this period of getting along, she found that the other party had a good temperament and character in addition to not talking much.

She is not young anymore, many women of the same age in the family have children around her knees at her age, and she really doesn't want to miss meeting such a good person.

Although he didn't say much, Zhou Xingyu still chose to move his position, and the embarrassing scene of meat next to meat was changed between the two sides.

"Miss Qin, it's getting dark now, and you have to continue to rush tomorrow, if there is nothing else, you should hurry up and take a rest."

The night was deep, the moonlight was like water, and the stars were bright.

In such a quiet moment at night, with a lonely man and a widow alone, Zhou Xingyu was really afraid of being seen by other people who accidentally passed by.

At that time, he didn't care about himself, at most he was teased by Li Mubai and Wang Ye. Qin Yumian is miserable, and it is estimated that he will be looked down upon because of this.

Hearing Zhou Xingyu's slightly expelling words, Qin Yumian faced Zhou Xingyu with a nervous and resolute expression.

After tonight, she didn't know if she still had the courage to say what was in her heart.

Whether the two sides can meet again in the future is one thing.

"Zhou Xingyu, I ......" She took a deep breath, although she knew that there was not much hope, she still refused to give up easily, and said in a slightly trembling tone: "I like you." ”

After saying this, Qin Yumian seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and his body trembled unconsciously and softened, as if he would fall at any time.

Zhou Xingyu's expression did not change, he just looked at her quietly. His eyes were like deep starry skies, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

Qin Yumian's heart was beating faster, and she was stared at by Zhou Xingyu, and her face couldn't help but turn red, but she didn't choose to retreat, but chose to look at Zhou Xingyu, she clenched her fists tightly, waiting for his response.

finally met a person she liked, and the other party's family background was not weak, she was unwilling to miss this opportunity, and in the future, she would follow the family's arrangement to marry someone she didn't like, and then spend her life gloomily.

Looking at the woman in front of him who chose to look at him and looked at him with such a firm look, Zhou Xingyu sighed in his heart, he used to laugh at Wang Ye, but he didn't expect that it wouldn't be long before he encountered a similar situation.

He pondered for a moment, organized his words, and said in a soft tone: "Qin Yumian, I am very grateful for your kindness to me, and I am honored to be liked by you, but ......" paused, and said in a firm tone: "I can't accept it." ”

A trace of astonishment and disappointment flashed on Qin Yumian's face, although she knew that her confession had a low probability of success, but when she heard it with her own ears, her heart was still panicked.

I only felt that her nose was sour and her eyes were astringent, she held back the tears that came out of her eyes, lowered her head and said, "Zhou Shaoxia, I'm sorry." ”

With that, she stood up, hid her face and left.

Looking at her distant back, Zhou Xingyu stretched out his hand, but didn't say anything in the end.

Qin Yumian likes him, but he doesn't like the other party, the long pain is better than the short pain, it is better to be resolute at the beginning, not to give the other party any hope, so as not to delay the other party.

I was actually confessed by a girl, the world is really wonderful, Zhou Xingyu's mood at this time is a little complicated.

Day 2.

Everyone got up early in the morning, and after a night's rest, everyone was in good spirits, except for two people.

Zhang Xia looked at Qin Yumian, who was walking in front of him in a trance, his eyes were red and swollen, and asked worriedly, "Miss, what's wrong with you, so haggard?" Are you sick? ”

Qin Yumian shook his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, I had some insomnia last night, I just woke up, and I haven't come back to my senses yet, it'll be fine in a while." ”

After that, she quietly glanced at Zhou Xingyu's location, her gaze lowered, making it difficult to see.

Qin Yumian's expression was sluggish, not only Zhang Xia saw it, but Wang Ye also found out, sensing Qin Yumian's gaze at Zhou Xingyu, Wang Ye increased his speed, came to Zhou Xingyu's side, shrugged him with his shoulder, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Ah Xing, Qin Yumian, what's wrong?" ”

Zhou Xingyu asked angrily: "How do I know, if you want to figure it out, ask him yourself?" ”

This kind of thing is related to the reputation of the girl's family, even if Wang Ye is his best friend, he will not say anything to him.

If this is spread out, one will be ten, ten will be hundreds, and one hundred will be thousands, and in the end, everyone will know it, and the three of them will become tigers.

"Huh." Wang Ye sneered disdainfully: "You still put it on with me, last night I found out that the two of you secretly stayed together in the middle of the night, Qin Yumian was still a little crying when he came back, you kid wouldn't have done anything hurtful to the other party last night, right?" ”

couldn't hide it anymore, in order to avoid Wang Ye's misunderstanding, Zhou Xingyu had no choice but to say: "Don't guess, I have nothing to do with Miss Qin, I ...... last night"

Zhou Xingyu roughly told him about last night's events.

"Xingyu, what's the matter with you? Why didn't you accept her confession? I think Qin Yumian is very good, she is beautiful, and she is also knowledgeable, and at first glance she is a woman with a good wife and mother. Wang Ye asked with a puzzled expression. They walked side by side in the woods, the sun shining through the gaps in the leaves above them, the breeze blowing.

Zhou Xingyu bowed his head and was silent, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes. He said frankly: "Whether I accept her confession or not, it's two different things to be good with her, I don't have a relationship with her, it's better to refuse early than to look good in the future." ”

Hearing Zhou Xingyu's words, Wang Ye remembered his own situation, sighed, didn't say anything, and reached out to pat Zhou Xingyu's shoulder.

The scene fell silent for a moment, and neither of them spoke, just quietly followed the team forward.

Tie Yun and Hu Feng didn't pay much attention to what was happening behind them, the two of them walked in front, holding firewood knives in their hands, constantly chopping the dense things blocking the road.

Boom!

A knife cut off a wrist-thick branch, and a huge basin appeared in front of him, looking at the scene below, Tie Yun and Hu Feng glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Tie Yun turned around, walked in front of everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, we have reached our destination, and I don't know what danger is next, in short, everyone be careful." ”

Arriving at the destination of this trip, Tie Yun felt a sense of relief in his heart, the task he promised everyone was completed, and whether he could gain something after that had little to do with him had little to do with it.

Hearing that he had arrived at his destination, Zhou Xingyu walked forward in one step, looked at the scene below, and was suddenly stunned in place.

Yellow sand, below is an endless piece of yellow sand, he really couldn't imagine that there is such a place in the medicine mountain, standing at the edge of the basin, Zhou Xingyu instantly felt a thick heat wave coming from below.

The expressions of the others were similar to Zhou Xingyu's.

After a short period of shock, Zhou Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief, with the existence of this desert, the certainty of finding the fire lingzhi was even greater.

Zhou Xingyu and Wang Ye led everyone down the hillside, under the scorching sun, slowly moving forward, everyone passed through a desert jungle, and finally reached the edge of the desert. In front of their eyes, a field of golden sand dunes shimmered dazzlingly in the sun, like an endless golden ocean.

The heat wave slapped on everyone's faces, and the air was a little hotter, in stark contrast to the temperature on the mountain.

The miracle of creation shook the hearts of all people.
