The orange sun slowly sinks towards the western mountains, the clouds on the horizon are reflected in the fiery red, the endless mountains sound unknown bird cries from time to time, the mountain road is covered with waist-high grass, and a white horse is leisurely picking up the tender grass and chewing.

"Why hasn't she come back yet?" Xu Shaofeng, who was sitting on the side of the road and pretending to sleep, opened his eyes and looked into the mountains and forests for the first time, feeling impatient.

He originally saw Lu Xiaohua riding a horse uncomfortably, and kindly asked her to rest on the side of the road for a while, but she said that she wanted to go for convenience, but she ran into the mountains and forests, and there was no one for half a day.

It can't be lost, is it? It's so troublesome, so I have to go into the mountains to find her. Xu Shaofeng stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and walked towards the woods with a calm face.

In the mountains and forests, the branches of the trees are thick, and they look darker and darker under the increasingly insufficient sunlight. Xu Shaofeng traced the traces left by Lu Xiaohua all the way, but found that she didn't stop and went deeper and deeper.

Weeds grow unscrupulously, and a few thorns full of spikes appear in front of her from time to time, this is not a road that people can walk at all, where is she going to run! Xu Shaofeng's ice face became cold.

Vaguely, the voice of Lu Xiaohua speaking came from the depths of the jungle. Xu Shaofeng looked at it carefully, and seemed to hear her say softly: "This is mine, I can't give it to you." ”

Drawing his sword to cut through the branches and leaves in front of him, he walked briskly in the direction of the sound.

Through the shadow of the tree, vaguely seeing Lu Xiaohua's back, Xu Shaofeng breathed a sigh of relief. I was curious again, who is she talking to in this deep mountain and old forest?

As he got closer, he heard more clearly.

"I caught it first, you can't snatch it. Lu Xiaohua turned her back to him, seemed to be holding something tightly, facing a huge black shadow in front of her, and spoke softly.

A black bear! She was actually talking to a black bear! When Xu Shaofeng suddenly discovered what the black shadow opposite her was, he couldn't help but gasp, and immediately held his sword in his hand and swept over.

The sword light flashed, and the Cold Iron Star Sword struck towards the black bear's chest with a cold sword aura.

With a "plop" sound, the Cold Iron Star Sword accurately hit the black bear's chest. However, the black bear's skin was rough and thick, and the sword only pierced an inch, but it did not inflict fatal damage on the black bear.

The black bear was in pain, and was so excited that he roared violently with red eyes, and raised his fan-like palm to face Xu Shaofeng.

Xu Shaofeng dodged away, but out of the corner of his eye, he found that Lu Xiaohua behind him was standing in place dumbfounded. He hurriedly turned around, picked her up by the waist, and rolled dangerously towards the bushes beside him. The black bear's giant palm brushed against his arm, leaving several blood marks.

Taking advantage of the time when the black bear raised his palm again, Xu Shaofeng quickly stood up, protected Lu Xiaohua with one hand, and urged the internal force with the other hand, pressing towards the hilt of the sword inserted in the black bear's body.

With his surging strength, the Cold Iron Star Sky Sword "snorted" into the black bear's body and stabbed the black bear's heart.

The black bear roared wildly, its whole body standing upright, and with the last of its strength it lunged at him. Xu Shaofeng pushed away Lu Xiaohua, who was still in a daze, and turned the hilt of the sword to lead it to the other side.

The black bear misses the blow and collapses between the two. Xu Shaofeng held the hilt of the sword and strengthened it again, until the Cold Iron Xingxiao Sword completely pierced the black bear's body, and then he stopped.

The black bear roared again, struggled for a while, and slowly died.

Brushing away the cold sweat on his head, Xu Shaofeng ruthlessly pulled out the Cold Iron Star Sky Sword from the bear corpse.

"I didn't expect you to be so powerful that you can beat a black bear!" Lu Xiaohua came back to her senses and looked at him with round eyes, her eyes full of adoration.

"Are you crazy?" Xu Shaofeng asked word by word while wiping the blood from the sword while grinding the socket of his back teeth.

"No, I don't. Look, I caught a rabbit!" Lu Xiaohua held up the gray rabbit that had been held tightly in her arms and proudly showed it to him.

Staring at the smiling and joyful little face in front of him, Xu Shaofeng only felt a nameless anger rushing to his head. He reached out and grabbed it, and threw the gray rabbit aside.

"What are you doing, I caught this with great difficulty!" Lu Xiaohua was taken aback, hurriedly leaned over to chase after her, and caught the gray rabbit back.

"I don't care about you anymore!" Xu Shaofeng's eyes became even colder. With a purse of his thin lips, he put away his long sword, turned and left.

"What the hell are you angry about?" Lu Xiaohua hugged the gray rabbit and chased after him. This man walked in great strides, causing her to lose her breath.

"Don't you want to die, dare to compete with a black bear for a rabbit!" Xu Shao said without looking back. Thinking of the danger just now, his heart was filled with fear. If she was one step late, this girl would be buried in the belly of a bear. How did you get into such a troublesome girl?

"Don't you know? Animals in the mountains and forests will not attack people unless they are really hungry. Lu Xiaohua panted and chased after her, while patiently explaining, "Besides, I have been standing close to the tree, but I can't do it, as long as I go up the tree, the bear won't be able to catch me." "Is he angry about this? What's there to be angry about, this man is too angry!

Xu Shaofeng remembered that she seemed to be standing under the tree just now, and the boredom subsided slightly, and when he heard her rapid breathing, he couldn't help but slow down.

"I've met wolves in the mountains several times before, and you just have to look at it in the eyes and talk to it, and it will understand. Lu Xiaohua took a breath and continued to explain. Whew, I've finally slowed down, I'm tired!

Maybe this wild girl really has some skills for dealing with wild beasts, or she wouldn't have lived alone in the mountains for so long. Thinking like this, Xu Shaofeng's inexplicable fire finally gradually extinguished.

Lu Xiaohua caught up with him and walked side by side with him, and when she saw that his face was a little pale, she suggested with a golden glint in her eyes: "Let's go and get the bear's paw back." I've heard it's worth a lot of money!"

"No!" Xu Shaofeng flatly refused, "I still have to hurry, and I don't have time to do those idle things." "Hmph, don't say that you're okay anymore, don't think about it!

"Oops!" Lu Xiaohua suddenly exclaimed.

What's wrong?Xu Shaofeng frowned and looked sideways at her.

"Your arm is bleeding!" Lu Xiaohua shouted as she covered her mouth and pointed to his right arm.

"It's just a small injury. Xu Shaofeng didn't care.

"You rest here, and I'll come when I go. After Lu Xiaohua finished speaking, he stuffed the gray rabbit into his hand and ran quickly into the forest.

"If something happens again, I don't care about you!" Xu Shao shouted angrily.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine, I'll be back right away. Lu Xiaohua shouted as she ran, and when she shouted the last sentence, she was already submerged in the jungle.

What a wild girl! Xu Shaofeng stared at her back for a while with a dark face, and finally sighed, hugged the gray rabbit and found a tree to sit down.

I really shouldn't have taken this trouble on the road. She should have been left with the "stick" in the first place. I don't know what stupidity I made at the time, but I actually brought her out. Anyway, this place is not far from Jiangge Town, take her to the city and send her back. Yes, that's it! Xu Shaofeng decided.

"Look what I found!" After a short time, Lu Xiaohua ran back with a smile on her face, holding a handful of mushrooms in her arms and a few weeds in her hands.

Xu Shaofeng glanced at her and ignored her with a cold face.

"I didn't think there was a thorn in the woods. Lu Xiaohua smiled as if she had received a treasure, and raised the weed in her hand to his eyes.

She smiled so brightly that her red lips went all the way to her cheeks, revealing a pair of small, cute canine teeth. Xu Shaofeng lost most of his anger for some reason, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the baby she held up in front of her.

"Be careful with your hands. Lu Xiaohua didn't let him touch it, "Wait a minute, I'll get it for you right away." She took out a handkerchief embroidered with small flowers from her bosom and carefully wrapped the weeds. Then he ran to the side and placed the handkerchief bag on a large flat rock.

Xu Shaofeng turned her head curiously, not knowing what she was busy with.

I saw that she found a smaller, flat stone and slapped it on the handkerchief for a long time. Then he carefully opened the handkerchief, and the weeds inside had been crushed into green pulp.

"Okay!" Lu Xiaohua happily held the straw in the handkerchief and squatted down beside him, "Come, stretch out your arms." ”

"What are you going to do?" Xu Shaofeng didn't move like a mountain, looking at the sticky green grass and frowning.

"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt too much. Lu Xiaohua said, pulling up his injured arm and putting it on his lap, and then gently rolled up his cuffs, and tied the grass pulp to his wound.

After tying up the slurry, the bleeding quickly stopped.

"Who did you learn this herb from?" asked Xu Shaofeng. Although he didn't care about these small injuries, he was still quite curious about her ability. When she was recuperating at her house, the herbs she made did work.

"Wei Langzhong in the pharmacy in Jiangge Town. I used to give him herbs, and every time I would help him sort the herbs, and then I slowly learned. Lu Xiaohua said as she spoke, and finally tied the handkerchief tightly around his arm.

"It's done!" Lu Xiaohua smiled and clapped her hands.

Looking at her smile, Xu Shaofeng's heart moved slightly, and a strange feeling gradually sprung up. Her face looked a little funny when she accidentally rubbed the grass pulp, but her smile was flawlessly unadulterated, like a stream so clear that the bottom could be seen as far as the eye could see.

"Don't you like mushroom rabbit broth? I'll make it for you later." Lu Xiaohua put down his arm, went to clean up the mushrooms he had just picked, and raised his face and smiled at him as he did it, "I've been using your money all the way, I should thank you well." ”

Xu Shaofeng's heart was shocked, and his face suddenly became hot. "I'm going to bring the horse over. He got up hurriedly and hurried out into the woods.

On the side of the mountain road, the white horse is still leisurely eating grass. Xu Shaofeng untied the reins, and when he looked down, he just saw the handkerchief embroidered with small flowers on his arm.

To him, it was just a small injury that couldn't have been smaller, and she made such a big splash. The corners of his lips curled slightly, and a faint smile was drawn.

Since he was a child, no one has ever bothered about what he likes to eat, even the senior sister who takes the most care of him will not ask about such a trivial matter. There was a rare tenderness in his cold eyes, and something unknown was quietly sprouting in his heart, as if a cool light rain happened to fall on a land that had been dry for a long time.

Looking up, the sunset is colorful, the sunset is intoxicating, the distant mountains are ethereal, the trees near are verdant and green, and a gorgeous chickadee flies from the forest. He suddenly realized that everything around him was so beautiful!

Feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, he pressed his sword to stabilize his mind, pulled up the white horse, and walked back slowly.
