Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Millimeter Counts

If anyone knows Lan Qian and Lan Yao better, I'm afraid it's not themselves, but the Lan Ji who should never be on the side, and he is the one who has witnessed all the intersections between Lan Qian and Lan Yao. Of course, this kind of testimony could not bring Rangi any happiness, but only made him feel the pain of being poisoned by the snake, as if his bones had been eroded by poison.

Lan Yao doesn't like to be quiet and active, although she has experienced the danger of being surrounded by wolves, she was scolded by Lan Mu fiercely, and she was not allowed to go out for a month, but she didn't leave any shadow in her heart, and she still likes to travel around as always, or play tricks on the tribesmen, or sneak out of the Jianmu Forest. And unlike before, there is an extra Lan Qian behind her.

Of course, Lan Qian didn't want Lan Yao to encounter such danger again, but Lan Qian's temper was also very different, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Lan Yao doing that, and he didn't go to Lan Yao to make any advice, asking her not to go out so that other clansmen would worry about her. He saw that Lan Yao continued to sneak out to play, and it happened that he was free, so he simply followed behind and secretly protected. Lan Qian's idea was very simple, since Lan Yao wanted to do what she was willing to do, then she would try her best to do what she could.

In this way, the Lan Mu patriarch found Lan Qian, first thanked him for taking care of Lan Yao, but also bluntly reminded Lan Qian that his approach would make Lan Yao more and more bold, and he would get farther and farther out of the Jianmu Forest, and then he was only afraid of encountering unpredictable dangers, maybe not what Lan Qian could deal with, if something bad really happened, then the clansmen, including him, would be sad about it.

When Patriarch Lanmu said these words. The tone is calm and tactful, without the slightest scolding, and it seems to be serious. Lan Qian didn't say anything at the time, but when he followed Lan Yao out, when the time came, he would take the initiative to tell Lan Yao that he was going back, and then he really went back. Lan Yao thought that Lan Qian was joking with herself several times, but later found out that Lan Qian was telling the truth, and he didn't dare to go too far, every time Lan Qian said that he was going back. Lan Yao would know that she should stop. Then obediently go back.

After Patriarch Lan Mu heard about this, he was very satisfied with Lan Qian's approach. But none of them knew that there was actually a Rangie following Lan Yao behind Lan Qian. In what Rangie saw, when Lan Yao went out to play. Lan Qian, who followed behind, never took the initiative to speak. And almost all of them were Lan Yao talking to Lan Qian. Lan Yao said almost anything. As long as it is thought of in the heart, it will be said in the mouth, but Lan Yao has never said that he likes Lan Qian.

Lan Yao is especially playful. As soon as she came out of the Jianmu forest, she had to lean over to smell a flower, and when she saw a butterfly, she had to run over to chase after her. Lan Ji looked at everything in his eyes, and tried to remember what Lan Yao had special preferences for, so that he might be able to do what he liked in the future, but it didn't take long for him to give up, because Lan Yao would show the same surprise and liking for almost everything he saw.

For example, Lan Ji once wanted to know what kind of flower Lan Yao liked, but Lan Yao's expression of surprise was the same for each guess, but it didn't take long for her to throw it on the ground. Sometimes Lan Yao found a small flower, looked left and right, as if she liked it very much, and from time to time fiddled with it and inserted it in her hair, asking if it was good-looking? Of course, Lan Yao asked Lan Qian. Lan Qian's answer was never exceptional, it was a simple and firm good-looking word, and the tone was always calm, and Lan Yao was always a little disappointed with no surprise. Seeing this, Lan Ji secretly rejoiced in her heart, thinking about how she would praise Lan Yao in different ways if it was herself, which would definitely make her very happy.

However, Lan Ji didn't seem to notice, although Lan Qian's answers seemed to be perfunctory every time, Lan Yao began to look a little unhappy, but not long after, she would still take the trouble to ask Lan Qian, as if nothing had happened before.

In addition to these, sometimes Lan Yao would tell Lan Qian about all kinds of things that happened in the clan, and as she spoke, she laughed first. But what she said wasn't funny, and she wasn't making fun of the other Wood Spirits. In Lan Ji's memory, it seems that he has never heard Lan Yao say bad things about the people, and the only one who often makes fun of him is Lan Qian.

When Lan Yao talked about Lan Qian, she would say that he was stupid, stupid, like a stupid bird when he stood on a tree, the stupidest wood spirit in the clan, etc., as if he hated Lan Qian. But Lan Qian was never annoyed, he just listened quietly, occasionally let out an oh sound, and then said, I'm almost done shopping today, I should go back and so on, as if it was him who came out to play, and it was Lan Yao who was accompanying him. Lan Yao screamed in disappointment, and then helplessly went back to Jianmu Forest.

Of course, Rangie wanted to hear his name come out of Lan Yao's mouth, so that he could know what he was really like in Lan Yao's mind. However, what disappointed him was that Lan Yao never mentioned him, even if he didn't mention it specifically, he just didn't mention it. This made Rangie feel extremely disappointed, and he wanted to stop tracking things several times, but for some reason, he never could do it. Whenever the patrol was finished or there was nothing else to do, his first thought was to run to see what Lan Yao was doing, and then every time he was disappointed.

Because every time Lan Yao is behind her, she always follows Lan Qian. As the captain of the guard, Lan Qian has so many things to do every day, not only arranging for the escort team to practice archery, but also leading a group of building wood spirits to build various ravines and defenses against mountain rats. Compared to Lan Ji, he was much busier, but every time Lan Ji followed Lan Yao, Lan Qian was always there, and he was never there, which made Lan Ji puzzled and distressed. Later, Lan Ji found out that it was not Lan Qian's coincidence, but that Lan Yao would only go out to build a wooden forest to play when Lan Qian was free, and it was she who followed Lan Qian, not Lan Qian who followed her, so naturally Lan Qian was there every time.

Lan Ji finally understood that although he was following them, he was always like being invisible, and he had never entered Lan Yao's heart at all. In other words, not only in Lan Yao's eyes, he is invisible, but also in Lan Yao's heart. All kinds of traces show that there is only one Lan Qian in Lan Yao's heart.

When he realized this, Rangie gave up following Lan Yao for the first time and returned to his residence in despair. He grabbed the Jianmu bow and shot three hundred Jianmu arrows in one go, each arrow hitting the center of the target, and all of them pierced through the target. Dozens of arrows later, the target was shot to pieces, and the arrows were directly inserted into the building wood behind the target. Bright red juice flowed from the wood.

In the Jianmu family, there is no rule that arrows are not allowed to shoot Jianmu, but the essence of Jianmu itself is born and multiplied from Jianmu, and Jianmu is regarded as his own body, more like his parents, and will not shoot arrows for no reason. It is only after the old man dies that he is cut down and used to build houses and make wooden bows or arrows. Even if it is a Jianmu arrow shot out, because each one is refined by mana, it is as hard as iron, so the Jianmu clan also cherishes and cares for it, and every time after fighting with the mountain rat, they will try to retrieve the arrows they shoot, clean them and reuse them.

After shooting hundreds of Jianmu arrows in one go, Rangiwu kept moving, but his body gradually changed, he felt as if he was in the ice and snow for a while, and his whole body was unconscious, and for a while, he felt as if he was under the scorching sun, and even his skin was hot. Eventually, he was so exhausted that he collapsed on the edge of the house and fell asleep.

Rangi slept all day, only to miss the moment when the convoy was on patrol. This was a great event, so Lan Qian personally went to look for him, and happened to meet Elder Lan Hong on the way to visit Lan Ji. So they came to the hut where Ranji lived, and found Rangie lying outside the hut and sleeping, and still holding a wooden bow in his hand, the arrow target in the distance fell to the ground, and it had been shot to pieces, and a building tree behind the arrow target was densely packed with wooden arrows.

Seeing this, Elder Lan Hong thought that it was Rang Ji who practiced archery all night, so he was so tired that he fell asleep. So he pleaded with Lan Qian, hoping that he would not punish Lan Ji. You must know that in the Jianmu clan, the most important thing is to resist the mountain rat clan, and the escort team is responsible for the lives of the whole clan, and the duty is insignificant. Each member of the escort has important arrangements, and it is possible that such a rash person like Rangi will lead to extremely serious consequences.

Lan Qian looked at Rankie who was lying on the ground, and then at the arrow target in the distance, he didn't answer Elder Lan Hong immediately, but walked under the building tree and looked at the arrows planted all over the tree, and half of the body of each arrow was inserted into the trunk. Do you need to use so much force to practice arrows? Lan Qian stretched out his hand and touched the sap of the Jianmu tree that had condensed on the tree, frowned, and then walked back to Elder Lan Hong's side and sighed. Then he leaned down a little on Rankie's forehead and pressed his finger on the center of his eyebrows, and the red sap on his hand suddenly left a red dot on Rankie's eyebrows.

Lan Ji was suddenly awakened by this press, and the moment he opened his eyes, he saw Lan Qian's extremely sharp gaze, which seemed to have pierced a qiē. Rangie's heart was beating wildly, and he was stunned for a moment. Lan Qian withdrew his finger and said, "There is no next time!" he said, got up and left.

Seeing Ranji's stunned face, Elder Lanhong persuaded Ranji not to practice arrows so hard in the future, and forgot the duties of the escort team. Although Lan Qian is strict, it is also for the good of the Jianmu family, so that Lan Ji must not have any other ideas. Elder Lan Hong thought that there was no next time for Lan Qian, but that if something like this happened to Lan Ji again, he would be removed from the escort team.

But Lan Ji clearly felt that there was a kind of horror in Lan Qian's eyes just now, as if all the secrets in his heart had been known by Lan Qian. Could it be that he knew that he was following Lan Yao?Lan Ji listened to Elder Lan Hong chattering in his ear, but this thought in his heart bit his heart like a poisonous snake!
