Tie Ning slept until the sun set, Wu Zheng estimated that if the temperature hadn't dropped a little after the sun set, it was estimated that Tie Ning would not have woken up.

"Ah, why did you sleep for so long?"

Tie Ning, who woke up, saw that Wu Zheng was sitting beside him, and he was blocking the slightly cool northwest wind, and his heart couldn't help but soften. hurriedly whispered:

"Thank you. ”

Seeing that Tie Ning meant to stand up, Wu Zheng hurriedly reached out and helped her.

"I want to, I want to ....... ”

Seeing that Tie Ning's face was crimson, Wu Zheng guessed that it should be convenient, so he hurriedly came to the back of a bush, and he avoided it from a distance.

After the sun sets, it will soon be dark.

Wu Zheng didn't know if there were any other towns nearby besides Shuntian City, so he waited for Tie Ning to be convenient before he asked tentatively. I don't want Tie Ning's answer to make Wu Zheng very disappointed.

"I'm not familiar with it either. ”

Shuntian City definitely can't go back, not only that, but the villages and towns within fifty miles of Shuntian City can't go, what should I do? If it's only Wu Zheng alone, it's easy to say, the key is that there are weak girls around him who have not yet recovered, and this really makes Wu Zheng embarrassed.

"Auntie, we'll probably have to live in the wild for days. ”

"I'm not afraid. ”

Although Tie Ning's voice was not high, his tone was very decisive.

It's just that there is one more thing that worries Wu Zheng, that is, he only brought two sets of clothes, one is the blue cloth jacket he was wearing, and now both knees have been worn out in the dark passage. Then there is the gray robe worn on Tie Ning's body. And Tie Ning only has that thin emerald green nightdress, which is barely able during the day, and at night, how can he resist the cold of the north in late spring?

It may be possible to make a fire during the day, but it is absolutely impossible to make a fire at night. Otherwise, it is equivalent to indicating their location to Liufu or Shuntianfu.

There was no other way, Wu Zheng, who had not slept for nearly three days and two nights, had to fight his spirits, find a leeward earth cliff, fold a thick branch, and forcefully dig out a pit that could accommodate two people to curl up, and try to collect dead grass and dry fallen leaves to spread inside.

Even so, when the two of them squeezed in, the cool breeze of the night still made Tie Ning, who was wearing a gray robe, shiver.

Several times, Wu Zheng wanted to reach out and take Tie Ning's petite body into his arms, but he always didn't have the courage, lest he provoke Tie Ning's anger.

On the contrary, it was Tie Ning, who seemed to have discovered Wu Zheng's embarrassment. At the same time, the weak body really couldn't stand the chill in the night wind, so he first took the initiative to put his back close to Wu Zheng's fiery body, then turned around and simply hid in Wu Zheng's arms.

"Yes? I'm your aunt. ”

Tie Ning didn't know why he said that. Fortunately, it was night, and Wu Zheng couldn't see her already hot cheeks.

Even if he was full of warm fragrance and warm jade, Wu Zheng, who was too tired, only had a rapid heartbeat a few times, and then fell asleep.

Listening to Wu Zheng's steady breathing, Tie Ning couldn't sleep for a long time.

Not only because he had just slept in the afternoon, but also because he fell asleep in his arms by a boy for the first time, the reason why it was difficult for Tie Ning to fall asleep was because of everything that had happened since Wu Zheng appeared in the water prison.

It was hard to believe that the body was so thin, and a boy who was only thirteen or fourteen years old contained such a huge amount of energy in his body.

knocked down Liu Jin, the housekeeper of Liufu, in three or two strokes, and ran out of Shuntian City with himself on his back all the way, not to mention eight or nine miles away, how did he do it?

Thinking about it, the scenes after leaving the water prison couldn't help but appear in front of Tie Ning's eyes again.

Who is that twelve or thirteen-year-old girl who got together with more than a dozen women, washed clothes around a well, and looked sweet and beautiful? I heard Wu Zheng once shout "Qinglian", is that the girl's name? How did the two meet?

At that time, when Wu Zheng climbed over the west courtyard wall of Zhen Qingshen's backyard, although he didn't care about the dozen or so women who were washing clothes together, large and small, the iron condensation on his back was found mixed in, and he was almost the first girl to stand up after discovering Wu Zheng, with a shocked face.

What kind of expression was that? surprise, surprise, or disbelief?

Tie Ning even saw the sweet-looking girl of twelve or thirteen years old, running out a few steps behind Wu Zheng, and then there was a shout that made Wu Zheng suddenly stop his body - Qiu Zheng.

Why do girls call Wu Zheng Qiu Zheng?

Tie Ning, who was full of questions, after all, because his body was very weak, finally fell asleep in Wu Zheng's warm embrace, listening to his steady and long breathing.

When she opened her eyes again, the eastern sky had just revealed a trace of fish belly white, and Wu Zheng, who was holding her, was still asleep, and Tie Ning didn't dare to move, for fear of waking up the sleeping Wu Zheng.

"How long has it been since I've enjoyed such a warm embrace?"

Looking at the mountains and wilderness scenery that gradually became clear in the dawn, Tie Ning's thoughts couldn't help but fly back to his eight or nine-year-old childhood. At that time, I had the love of my father and mother, and the love of my sister who was nearly half of my own.

Thinking of her sister who was tortured and humiliated to death by the old thief Liu Shiqing in front of her eyes, she couldn't restrain herself from tears in her slender eyes.

"Sister, sister, it's my sister who hurt you. ”

"Auntie, are you awake?"

Wu Zheng's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Tie Ning stood up from Wu Zheng's arms suddenly, and quickly wiped away the tears on his face, and didn't dare to look back, only lightly agreed:

"Well, just woke up. ”

When Wu Zheng saw the rising sun that had already appeared, he subconsciously said:

"Why did you sleep so deeply today?"

Yes, Wu Zheng, who has long been cultivated as soon as dawn, has never slept so late.

Then he got up, stretched out his arms and legs, which were a little numb, and said to Tie Ning, and then plunged into the bushes and artemisia grass, and went to work for the breakfast of the two.

It's just that when Wu Zheng caught a hare and squatted by the stream to disembowel, he was picked up by Tie Ning.

"Auntie, your body is ....... ”

"I'm fine. ”

Tie Ning didn't look up to look at Wu Zheng, but lowered his head to wash the hare in his hands in the stream. Seeing this, Wu Zheng turned around and picked up some dead branches and rotten leaves, and raised a fire. But then nothing happened to him. Leaning on the ridge on the side, watching the petite Tie Ning in front of him skillfully busy, he couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart.

For many years, one person has been busy with such things. Ever since my father went missing when I was nine years old, I have been taking care of my elderly grandmother and doing everything myself.

"What do you want? It's already baked, is it still to your taste?"

Wu Zheng, who was interrupted by Tie Ning, who came over with a roasted hare, hurriedly sat up, took the hare meat on the small wooden stick in Tie Ning's hand with both hands, tore off a leg and handed it to Tie Ning, and then tore off a piece of rabbit meat and put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

"Well, it's delicious, Auntie's craftsmanship is much better than mine. ”

Although, regardless of tone or expression, Wu Zheng is very serious, Tie Ning still knows that his craftsmanship is not as good as Wu Zheng.

"It's delicious. ”

Since yesterday evening, I have always wanted to ask Wu Zheng what his plans are next, such as where to go to settle down, etc., but Tie Ning has always been unable to speak. Now I felt that it should be an opportunity, so I asked softly:

"Wu Zheng, ...... you?"

Just as he said this, he heard a girl's shout suddenly from the foot of the mountain in the distance:

"Qiu Zheng, where are you?"

"Qinglian?!"

Wu Zhengteng, who was eating rabbit meat, stood up suddenly, raised his feet and ran down the mountain.
