Chapter 21: The Forest Man

"Then would you like to try more blood?"

"When we rest later."

"Okay."

"That's right." After being quiet for a while, Pei Ye suddenly said, "You just asked if it was the shadow or the gift, but in fact, in the dantian, the two of them are not very separated. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Originally, the shadow was at the bottom of the dantian, but after Yulu broke the seed, the shadow went upstream, and now it is very close to Yulu. I wonder if there is any connection between them. ”

I don't know."

"Well, it's nothing out of the ordinary anyway." Pei Ye didn't care too much, and suddenly he frowned, "Is our horse slowing down?" ”

He bowed his head.

"Whew! ——”

"Whew! ——”

"Whew! ——”

A huge panting sound like a bellows sounded from under his crotch, and Pei Li's body was still jolting sharply, but at some point, the frequency was no longer a leopard, but a boat in the waves.

Rise and fall slowly.

Only then did Pei Ye realize that the horse's body was already sweating like rain, and when he reached out and wiped it, the skin was hot and the palm was slippery.

Leaning over and looking down at the horse's head, a horse's face was like dying, how could there be any majesty.

β€œ.” Pei Ye inexplicably remembered the words "easy to be poor" in "Heroic Bones".

It's only been two or three quarters of an hour!

No wonder the groom wanted to return two taels to Master Chang, and he returned five taels less.

The whole thing is a silver-like pewter head.

Pei Ye was speechless and pulled the reins, told it to stop running, and began to walk slowly in small steps.

After doing this for more than half an hour, the horse eased up, and Pei Ye clamped the horse's belly and galloped for a while.

From Fenghuai to Bowangzhou City, you must first cross more than 100 miles of uninhabited mountain roads, and then you can be regarded as getting out of the "Peach Blossom Spring" and entering the real human realm.

Then you can pass through a small village, and here you have reached the boundary of the county. Seven or eight miles further into the village, is Anxin Town, in addition to the people who go in and out of Fenghuai often settle down here, people from Xugu and Shao County also occasionally pass through here, which is a small traffic intersection.

But at this time, it is still not considered to be out of the mountain, and you have to walk for half a day on the mountain road, until you are about to go out of the county to the plain, and out of the county, it is the boundary of the state city.

Pei Ye originally intended to go to Anxin Town in one day, but at this time, he was about to walk fifty miles after half of the day, and the further back he went, the worse the horsepower became, and he would definitely get dark.

The good news is that it's getting dark late these days.

At noon, he rested a little under the tree, ate some dry food, and then got on his horse again and hurried away.

Running all the way to stop and stop, maybe the stage of "running" is really fast enough, and when the sun shadow is dark, it has also walked more than a hundred miles.

But at this time, even the speed of "running" is less than half of the beginning.

Waiting for the sun to fall on the West Mountain, at the beginning of tomorrow, when the light changes from orange to cold white, there is still a mountain to turn over from the word Anxin Town.

And the horse couldn't walk anymore anyway.

Pei Ye sighed, simply turned over and dismounted, and led it to find a vacant place on the side of the road.

As soon as the salute was unloaded, the mighty jujube red horse fell to the ground.

Looking at this sweaty and panting horse, Pei Ye pulled hard, and said helplessly: "You wait and lie down, I'll lead you to the bottom, there is water and grass." ”

Ma Youqi glanced at him weakly, drooped his head, and would rather die than move his nest again.

Pei Ye had no choice but to give up, let it lie on the side, and twisted his legs by himself, moving his waist and hips that were stiff from riding for a while.

Then he sat down on the stone and poked the black cat next to him, tilting his head to show his neck.

The black cat jumped onto his shoulder and took a clean bite.

"Shhh He felt the pain in his neck, and suddenly frowned and said, "No, if you inject blood into me, shouldn't you cut a cut on you, I just need to hold you and suck it with my mouth." ”

The black cat biting his neck raised a blue eye and thought about the picture, and said, "After all, you still want to eat me." ”

β€œ.” Pei Ye was just about to speak, when he suddenly pressed the dantian and exclaimed, "I feel it!" ”

"Huh?"

"I feel a little more stuff coming out of the dantian." Pei Ye felt it intently, "I also feel the blood you injected in, they are converging towards the dantian."

The blood in the dantian seemed to have condensed under the aggregation of the shadow of the mantis, and even grown. Pei Ye could feel it accumulating and solidifying little by little, like molten iron being injected into an invisible mold, and slowly the shape of the bottom came out, as if it showed an irregular spherical shape.

A steady stream of heat poured from the neck and merged into the dantian, Pei Ye's feeling of it became more and more obvious and clear, and he was a little fascinated to "watch" the shape of this thing cast little by little.

This "ball" is very small, about the same as a small branch of the meridian tree.

Pei Li was watching intently, and was suddenly stunned, and the heat flow stopped.

He turned his head blankly: "Go on, why is it gone?" ”

The black cockroach was silent for a while: "My blood is limited, Pei Liquid." ”

"Oh."

Pei Ye touched his lower abdomen with some uncertainty, feeling that at this rate, it would take at least four or five times: "Then when is the next time?" How long are you going to rest? ”

The black cat looked at him whimfully: "For a long time. ”

"Okay." Pei Ye flicked his fingers twice again, imagining a brilliant ghost fire flying out of his fingertips.

Then he unwrapped the package, took out the dry food and dried meat, and began to swallow it, tearing a wisp from time to time and feeding it to the black cat.

Halfway through eating, the black cat suddenly looked up and looked at the woods behind him.

The next moment, Pei Ye also heard the sound of the disturbance of the trees.

He immediately grasped the hilt of his sword and frowned.

Five or six feet away, shrubs and branches were being squeezed by something.

Pei Ye stood up and stared. If it is a tiger or leopard, it should be found farther away, and then hide its tracks and lean over to hunt. Walking so unabashedly, it was as if he didn't even know that there were people here.

Getting closer and closer, when it was three or four feet away, the bush suddenly stopped disturbing, as if it had spotted this man and a horse.

But it did not immediately run away like a deer deer, nor did it stand and observe like a tiger or leopard, but after a few pauses, it continued to come this way.

Soon "it" revealed its true formβ€”first a raged leg of cloth poked out of the bush, then stretched out one hand to grab the trunk of the tree, and finally one leg and one leg forced, bringing the whole body out.

So a disgraced boy stood in front of a man and a cat.

His hair was unkempt, with sticky broken leaves and dead branches, and yellow mud that was clumping. The clothes on his body were originally blue, but now they looked black and yellow, and the sword on his back was already crooked.

Further down, half of the bare legs were exposed under the pants that had been torn a few cuts, and there were several scratches of different lengths on them, some of which had scabbed, and some of which could still be seen to be bloody.

The boy had a well-born face, but at this time it was also full of dust and sweat stains, especially the two blackened eye sockets were deeply sunken, and his eyes were dull and dull.

Pei Li recognized this sluggishness, it had nothing to do with the brain or personality, it was purely because he hadn't slept for a long time.

Pei Ye looked at the person who came and slowly let go of the hilt of the sword.

The two looked at each other in silence for a while, until Pei Li finished chewing the food in his mouth. He swallowed, raised his hand and took another bite of the dried meat.

Then I saw the young man staring straight at his mouth.

Pei Ye looked down at the food in his hand, and tried to hand it forward: "Do you want to-"

"Robbery." The boy said.
