Chapter 393: Warmth in the Night
The sky was getting darker, and the afterglow of the setting sun was still leaving the last bit of light on the land that was about to darken, and the dense jungle was gradually darkening, and there was no way in sight at a glance......
Canglong was still resting and recuperating in place, his poisonous wounds had recovered from seventy-seven eighty-eight, but he still didn't stand up. Fang Ying was doubting Canglong's identity today, although she didn't say too much to Canglong in the afternoon, but Canglong's body had the internal power of the Cold Spirit Divine Skill, which made Fang Ying's curiosity about Canglong's identity more and more serious, and she also began to guess that Canglong had any grievances and entanglements with the Tomb Sect, so that her master, Lan Gu, the head of the Tomb Sect, would have a three-point friendship with him.
In addition to Canglong and Fang Ying, the "Three Hip Hop Brothers" spent an afternoon burying the bodies of those brothers and others who were killed by He Tong, while Hongyun, who went to fetch water in the distance, did not come back all afternoon.
Indeed, Hongyun fetched water for an afternoon, and Canglong was a little worried about whether something had happened, or maybe he had lost his way and didn't return. Canglong wanted to get up and go around to see the situation, Fang Ying saw it and stood up, in her eyes, now she had to follow Canglong's side one step further.
Canglong didn't have any objections, after all, Fang Ying was always by his side, so she would be safe. However, just when Canglong turned around and wanted to leave, the "Three Hip Hop Brothers" came back at this time.
Hippie was the first to say: "Big brother, we have buried all the bodies of our brothers, and the same is true of those martial arts people, what should we do now?"
Because Canglong helped the three of them find their long-lost brother today - although they had been brutally murdered - and also saved them from He Tong, the three of them also fulfilled their previous promise. Call Canglong their "big brother".
Canglong didn't object, he only agreed: "Oh, it's dark today. Don't hurry, you three can rest first......"
"Haha, Brother Xie-" The three brothers responded with a smile, and after getting along with them for a while, they could feel that in fact, the "three hip-hop brothers" looked weird on the surface, but they were actually very easy-going in personality.
"Big brother, when are we going to eat? I'm dying of hunger—" haha grumbled, touching his hungry stomach.
"You know how to eat, but the eldest brother hasn't said anything yet. What are you rushing for?" Ado listened and exchanged a few words.
"But then again, we really haven't eaten for a day...... hippie said, holding her chin, "and I met Brother Canglong first." and then entangled with that He Tong for a lot of time. The last afternoon of the burial of the dead brother was indeed a day of hunger......"
Haha was a little dizzy with hunger, and he said in a daze: "What the hell is this place, in winter, there is not even a pheasant in this forest, what can I eat?"
"yes, I don't know how long it will take to get into the city...... Ado added. "This place, as long as it's winter. In the wilderness, people can't sleep in the open, hungry and cold, do you want us to gnaw on the bark?"
Canglong didn't care about eating first, although he was a little hungry himself. "It's strange, Miss Hongyun has been gone for so long, why hasn't she come back?" Canglong couldn't help but ask, his first concern was Hongyun's safety.
"That mother-in-law, it's so slow to beat the water...... haha couldn't help but joke, "It can't be a pockmarked man with a good face, go out and scare people away, right?"
"Who do you say have a pockmarked face?" Just as everyone was greeting, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind Haha-it was Hongyun who came back, carrying a bag full of water and a bag of unknown things.
Of course, Hongyun heard Haha saying bad things about himself behind his back, so he naturally didn't have a good face, and the whole person's eyes looked at Haha with "disdain", showing the appearance of a resentful woman.
Haha was also taken aback, although Hongyun was just a girl, but her face was full of freckles and showed such a disdainful look, which really made the "Three Hip Hop Brothers" a little unspeakably afraid. Of course, they are also joking, although the "Three Hip Hop Brothers" often laugh at Hongyun's appearance, but Hongyun's personality is like a boy, both the calm side of the danger, and the calm mentality of letting go, in the face of the three brothers' "verbal attacks", Hongyun is not the same.
"Sister Hongyun, you're back—" Hongyun came back, and Fang Ying was naturally the happiest. When the good sister came back, Fang Ying suddenly threw away the things she had suspected about Canglong just now, and immediately ran over excitedly.
Canglong was still worried and puzzled, so he asked, "Miss Hongyun, where did you go all afternoon, is it so difficult to fetch water here?"
Hongyun put down the water bag on his body and said unhurriedly: "The water source is a little far away, but I didn't just go to fetch water this afternoon......
"And what else are you doing?" Canglong asked again.
"Hehe-" Hongyun smiled softly before opening another unknown sack.
The sack was opened, and I saw that your face was all sweet potatoes.
It's good now, everyone is still worried about hunger, and now Hongyun has brought so many sweet potatoes, which is simply a charcoal in the snow. Haha can't care so much, when he saw that there was food, he immediately pounced, and said hurriedly: "You said there was something to eat, give it to me, I'm dying of hunger-"
Who knows, Hongyun's hand can be regarded as agile, and with a pull of the handle, he dragged the sack over, haha and directly pounced. Hongyun still said with a straight face: "Are you hungry, are you hungry, eat sweet potatoes raw?"
"It doesn't matter if he's cooked or eaten, give it to me—" Haha didn't pounce just now, and one stumbled to the ground, and he raised his head and stretched out his hand to ask, which was ridiculous.
Fang Ying saw the funny scene in the back and couldn't help laughing, even Canglong, who had always been calm, couldn't help but smile, after all, now that he was sure that Hongyun was back safely, he had nothing to worry about.
Hongyun saw Haha's appearance, rolled his eyes, glanced up and said, "You ...... just now How can you say that I am here behind my back, saying that I have a pockmarked face and scare people away?"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong. Hurry up and give it to me—" Haha finished speaking, and got up again and pounced on the sweet potato in Hongyun's hand.
Of course, the result can be imagined, and it is still a no-brainer. Haha, who was hungry and faint, simply didn't care about any face, and after this time he pounced, the whole person fell to the ground again. Hongyun withdrew the sweet potato in his hand, and said in a mocking tone with his back face: "You want to eat dinner just after burying the corpse?
Hongyun's tone is also strong enough. doesn't know any martial arts, but can clean up the "Three Hip-Hop Brothers" well, and the three of them don't dare to go up and talk back. Fang Ying saw it. smiled and said: "Sister Hongyun is really fierce, it is estimated that hippie and haha Uncle will not dare to trouble Sister Hongyun in the future——"
Canglong didn't laugh too much, and saw that Hongyun could bring so many sweet potatoes, so he asked, "Miss Hongyun." These sweet potatoes ...... Where did you get that?"
Hongyun heard that it was Canglong who asked himself. His tone softened suddenly, "Oh, it's all over the woods, and I spent an afternoon digging ......."
"No wonder you went all afternoon and didn't come back, it turned out that you went digging sweet potatoes......" Canglong replied softly.
When Hongyun saw Canglong, she thought that Canglong was still injured, and he asked him to fetch water, so she immediately cared: "That's right, Brother Canglong." You don't have any injuries, do you? I went to fetch water for an afternoon, and I didn't ...... Delay your injuries, right?"
Canglong smiled and said, "It's okay." It's just a small injury, and the poison is not fatal. When you come back from fetching water, the main thing is to use water to accelerate the effect of detoxification, and there is no big problem......"
"That's good......" Hongyun was relieved to see that Canglong's injury was fine.
However, the most unbearable loneliness is the "Hip Hop Three Brothers", who are hungry and now eager to eat immediately. But looking at the sweet potatoes brought back by Hongyun, there are not many sweet potatoes, six people eat them, and everyone can eat enough. Ah Duo thought for a while, walked up to Hongyun and pleaded: "Miss Hongyun, you said that the sweet potatoes were dug in the forest near here...... We're going to dig ...... Anything else?"
Hongyun could see their thoughts at a glance, these brothers must be hungry. Hongyun thought for a while, and then said: "Yes, yes, anyway, the sky hasn't completely darkened yet, go now, maybe you can dig a lot of ...... here."
"Then Miss Red Cloud, take us there—" Ado said excitedly, "I will take it as if we helped you on behalf of Miss Red Cloud, and apologized to you." ”
Hongyun saw that although the "three hip-hop brothers" often laughed at their looks behind their backs, they were not malicious, and sometimes they were very silly and cute, so Hongyun nodded with a smile: "Hmm...... Okay, but as compensation, I'm not going to do it, you dig yourself-"
"It's okay, it's okay, just have something to eat—" Haha listened, and stupidly agreed.
Hongyun saw Haha's stupid look, and smiled again, and the expression of complaint just now disappeared at once.
When Fang Ying saw it, she also followed and said, "Dig sweet potatoes, are you?" Eh, I'm going too, I'm going too-" Fang Ying couldn't change her innocent and lively side, and ran over with a smile.
"Sister Ying, you have to go too...... Dig sweet potatoes?" Hongyun couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, yes, don't underestimate me, when I was a child, I went in and out of ancient tombs, and I often dug sweet potatoes......" Fang Ying said with a smile, "Don't underestimate me, you may not be as good as me in digging sweet potatoes-"
"yes, then I'd like to meet ...... too," Hongyun replied with a smile.
So, Hongyun led everyone to dig sweet potatoes in another part of the forest, and watched the group of people get together so quickly, but Canglong, who stayed in place, couldn't help but smile......
At night, everyone can be regarded as having a good harvest, and Fang Ying did not brag, the sweet potatoes she dug were the largest and the most, which made the three "Hip Hop Three Brothers" impressed, and gradually began to like to play with Fang Ying. Fang Ying herself is purely fun, and she doesn't care if her hands are full of mud, and the whole person shows her innocent and lively side. To be honest, for Fang Ying, who has not had family affection for eighteen years and has lived in the ancient tomb all year round, she has never been so happy for a long time.
"Sister Ying, look at your dirty hands, remember to wash your hands before roasting sweet potatoes-" Hongyun looked at Fang Ying's muddy hands and reminded with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes-" Fang Ying was a little crazy, the whole person was very lively, not only dug up so many sweet potatoes, but also personally found a stand for roasting sweet potatoes. Even making the fire herself does it, it seems that Fang Ying is a girl who is full of optimism and enjoyment of life, it is hard to imagine. Eighteen years without family affection, and living in an ancient tomb that has not seen the light of day for a long time, it is not easy for Fang Ying to have such a cheerful personality and liveliness. But thinking about Fang Ying's growth without family affection in the past eighteen years, from behind the happiness, I can sigh her silent bitterness in the past eighteen years......
A fire was lit, and six people sat around the campfire. Eating the sweet potatoes dug by hand, although the taste is not very good, the atmosphere is extremely warm. The "Three Hip-Hop Brothers" who have been separated for many days. It's been a long time since I've had dinner with my friends like this, Canglong and Hongyun seem to have infinite memories in the face of Xiaoye's warmth, and Fang Ying is not to mention, this is the first time she has eaten dinner with her friends so harmoniously. For ordinary people. This is nothing, but for her who has not been cared for by her relatives for 18 years, she cherishes the preciousness and warmth incomparably......
After teasing the "Three Hip-Hop Brothers" in the afternoon, Hongyun became quieter in the evening, finished his meal, and looked at the hot water in his hand alone, and the water in the bowl reflected his face, as if he was touched......
"Brother Canglong. Your injuries should be fine, right?" Fang Ying finished eating and sat back beside Canglong. Asked with concern.
Canglong didn't care about what happened this afternoon, he was still very close to Fang Ying and said, "Well, it's okay, Miss Fang, the poison injury is basically healed, and it won't be a big problem to travel tomorrow......"
"Hey, you haven't eaten enough, hurry up and give it to me-" The "Hip Hop Three Brothers" suddenly came from the other side of the commotion, it turned out to be a large amount of food, and they ate a lot of sweet potatoes at once, which made Ado, who had not eaten enough, unable to stand it, Ado kept complaining, "Dead fat, grow so fat, eat so much, I'm not afraid of dying-"
"Didn't you eat a lot too, why did you rob me too?" Haha didn't want to let go of his rations, and swore not to let go.
"Give it to me, give it to me-" Ado was short, and he couldn't grab the sweet potato in Haha's hand, and the two of them even fell to the ground and snatched it for the sake of rations.
Seeing the funny appearance of the two, Canglong and Fang Ying also laughed out loud on the other side. But Hongyun didn't look up, but still looked at the water in the bowl alone......
Suddenly, due to the "fierce scramble" of the two, the sweet potato in Haha's hand disappeared.
I saw that the sweet potato threw a "beautiful" arc, and it hit the head of the red cloud who was pondering on the other side impartially. The sweet potato hits Red Cloud on the head and then falls into Red Cloud's bowl, and the water in the bowl is splashed up, splashing Red Cloud in the face.
"Uh...... Sister Hongyun is going to be angry......" Fang Ying was a little stunned when she saw Haha and Ado "getting into trouble".
Sure enough, Hongyun, who was "sneak attacked", raised his head slightly, and cast a cold look like a resentful woman, so frightened that Haha and Ado didn't dare to be born again, and they didn't even dare to look at Hongyun.
However, Hongyun didn't say anything, just raised his head slightly, and then lowered his head. Suddenly, she noticed the reflection of the water in the bowl, and there seemed to be something strange on her face, and she inadvertently let out a soft "oops-" sound.
"What's wrong, Red Cloud Girl?" Canglong noticed and couldn't help but ask.
When Hongyun heard that it was Canglong who asked him, he seemed to have some entanglement in his heart, and covered his face with his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay......"
"What's wrong with your face?" Canglong asked when he saw that Hongyun had been covering his face.
Hongyun hurriedly responded: "No, it's just ...... The hot water splashed on my face just now, and it burned to ......"
"Look at it, I've caused trouble for Sister Hongyun again...... Fang Ying said with a smile to Haha and Addo who were "in trouble" on the other side.
Needless to say, these two brothers were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak out for a long time, and it is estimated that they didn't dare to provoke Hongyun casually for a long time.
However, Hongyun didn't seem to put her mind on this, she covered her face and stood up, and then said to everyone: "I'll go over there for convenience, you can eat first......"
After saying that, the red cloud covered his face and ran into the depths of the forest......
Everyone didn't put their minds on Hongyun, and they were used to it. Only Canglong glanced at the red cloud, which was a little evasive, with an eye that was not surprised, and seemed to have something in his heart...... (To be continued......)
