At night, the temperature in the cave dropped again and again. The haystacks that Jun Xiaomo piled in the center of the cave were almost burning out, leaving only a few sparks dancing in the dark ashes, emitting a dark red light.
Ye Xiuwen, who was lying beside the campfire, moved his arms and slowly opened his eyes.
"Well..." Ye Xiuwen raised his tired and weak hands and rubbed his forehead. This movement pulled the wound on his shoulder, causing a burst of pain. Only then did Ye Xiuwen realize that there was a strong smell of blood in the cave, and the white clothes on his body seemed to be soaked in black blood. They were covered in large areas of dried blood, which looked shocking.
The scenes before he fell into a complete coma flashed through Ye Xiuwen's mind, and finally settled on a warm embrace and a soft touch on his shoulders.
Yes, when Jun Xiaomo sucked out the poisonous blood from Ye Xiuwen's body, Ye Xiuwen did not completely lose his mind. While he was half-conscious and half-awake, everything Jun Xiaomo did was slowly engraved into his memory. . Although he couldn't tell what Jun Xiaomo had done at the time, seeing the injuries on his body that looked serious but were actually nothing serious, how could he not guess what the other person had done while he was semi-conscious? matter
Ye Xiuwen cast his complicated eyes at "Yao Mo" who was lying on the side. He didn't expect that the other party would do this for him.
Soon, he discovered that something was wrong with "Yao Mo". The thin "young man" was curled up on the other side of the bonfire with a frown on his face. There was a trace of dark red blood on the corner of his mouth, and he was helplessly balled up. A ball, trembling there with eyes closed tightly.
"Yao Mo!" Ye Xiuwen hurriedly sat up. His physical weakness still made it a little difficult for him, but he didn't care so much. He hurried to "Yao Mo"'s side and patted him gently on the shoulder. He whispered again, "Xiao Mo?"
Jun Xiaomo sucked the poisonous blood for Ye Xiuwen. Although most of it was spit out, a small part was inevitably swallowed. The toxin of the blue cloud python is equivalent to being diluted a lot in this case. In fact, it is not a serious problem, but it still hurts for a day and a half. Now is the time when the toxin is taking effect, and the temperature in the cave is too low, making it uncomfortable both inside and outside. Jun Xiaomo's body is naturally a little overwhelmed.
What's more, she still had a fever.
"Squeak!" The little group mouse found that Ye Xiuwen had woken up. He quickly ran to the haystack on the side of the cave, jumped on it, and called out "squeak, squeak, squeak" several times.
Ye Xiuwen understood what Xiao Tuanzi meant. He walked towards the haystack and came back with a large ball of hay. He piled it on the ashes of the already burned hay and lit another bonfire.
The blazing fire burned and instantly illuminated the entire cave. Jun Xiaomo felt the warmth while half asleep, and couldn't help but move towards the bonfire.
But she was so close that even her hair was touching the stars. Ye Xiuwen quickly walked over and took Jun Xiaomo away from the fire. Jun Xiaomo, who was far away from the warmth of the fire, frowned even more tightly and struggled uneasily.
"Keep it patient, the cold will stop soon." Ye Xiuwen comforted Jun Xiaomo by patting him. Then he quickly took out a thick quilt from the storage ring and wrapped Jun Xiaomo tightly, leaving only a delicate little head exposed.
Jun Xiaomo also covered Ye Xiuwen with a quilt before, but the quilt was soaked with the blood on Ye Xiuwen's body. If it was covered with Jun Xiaomo again, it would definitely be very cold, so Ye Xiuwen took out A new quilt was put on Jun Xiaomo.
"Cold..." Jun Xiaomo murmured uncomfortably. Ye Xiuwen had no choice but to hold her tighter, hoping to keep her warm in this way.
"Zhizhi..." Xiaotuanzi glanced at Jun Xiaomo sadly, then glanced down at his little paws and body, and finally turned around and stopped looking here.
Jun Xiaomo's teeth were still chattering slightly, but they were much better than before. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she still looked uneasy even in her deep sleep and coma.
In fact, she was dreaming, having bloody nightmares. The nightmares from her previous life broke out in her subconscious again when she was vulnerable, making her inevitably trapped in this series of memories. middle.
"Senior...Senior Brother...I'm sorry..." Jun Xiaomo groaned in pain, with tears leaking out of the corners of his eyes.
This little bit of water was not obvious in the darkness. Ye Xiuwen didn't see "Yao Mo's" tears, but heard "him" whispering.
Senior brother? Didn't "Yao Mo" mean that he was just a casual cultivator and had not entered a sect? Why is there a "senior brother"
The doubts in Ye Xiuwen's heart were just fleeting and he didn't go into details.
But then, Jun Xiaomo unconsciously uttered a low cry again, like a sob, with a small nasal voice: "Senior Brother Ye... I'm sorry..."
Ye Xiuwen's body stiffened suddenly, and he looked down at "Yao Mo" in a daze.
At this time, "Yao Mo"'s head was still buried in his arms, with only a small back of his head exposed. The "boy's" dark hair was spread out and looked as soft as black satin.
Ye Xiuwen didn't realize until now that "Yao Mo" not only behaved very much like his junior sister, but even his figure and back were exactly the same.
If "Yao Mo" and his junior sister were standing together, with the same hair styled and their backs to him, Ye Xiuwen was really not sure that he would be able to tell them apart.
Ye Xiuwen's heart beat rapidly twice, then slowly calmed down.
is it possible? Ye Xiuwen smiled mockingly, feeling that he must be crazy - how could he think "Yao Mo" was Jun Xiaomo? You know, the junior sister has only practiced fire spells during the Qi training period before. How has she ever come into contact with formations, puppets, talismans and the like? Not to mention using them flexibly to deal with Ke Xinwen.
Ye Xiuwen's eyes darkened, and he continued to hold "Yao Mo" tightly in his arms, while looking at the top of the cave... There, there was a cave entrance that led directly to the outside, narrow and dark, and the starlight outside If it cannot be penetrated, the situation inside cannot be conveyed.
Ye Xiuwen's eyes became profound and long. At this moment, no one could tell what the first disciple of Lintian Peak was thinking.
On the other side, since Jun Xiaomo and Ye Xiuwen did not return to the camp for several hours, the disciples of the Xuyang Sect had to split up to search for their whereabouts - they did not care much about the life and death of "Yao Mo", but Ye Xiuwen after all He was the first disciple of the master of Xuyang Sect's Lintian Peak, so losing him was a big deal.
At least, if they want to see people alive or dead, these people must give Lintian Peak an explanation.
However, after searching for a long time, not to mention the human figure, not even the corners of clothes were found. They only saw a huge wild boar lying there, and the marks on its body looked very much like those left by Ye Xiuwen's wind blade.
"Strange, why did Senior Brother Ye kill the wild boar but not take it away? Where did he and Yao Mo go?" One of the disciples said in confusion.
"Who knows, I think Senior Brother Ye is always elusive." Another disciple said with a hint of dissatisfaction. He felt that Ye Xiuwen always had different opinions from most of them. Just like when it came to treating "Yao Mo", they were obviously members of the same sect, but Ye Xiuwen had to turn his elbows outward. Hanging out with that "Yao Mo" of unknown origin.
Has Senior Brother Ye forgotten how much humiliation that "Yao Mo" brought to the Xuyang Sect? ! It can be seen that the sect has raised a white-eyed wolf.
Ke Xinwen looked at the blood stains left at the scene and couldn't tell whether it was Ye Xiuwen or other animals' blood. His eyes flickered and the corners of his lips curled up unnoticeably.
Even if he is likely to be reprimanded by Qin Lingyu for accidentally killing "Yao Mo", so what? Being able to kill the two people he hated most in his heart made him feel happy.
Even if Qin Lingyu would punish himself for this, he would admit it! Ke Xinwen thought proudly, but when he thought of Qin Lingyu's control over him, he felt resentful again.
Ha, when he thinks of a way to get rid of Qin Lingyu's control, he must make him look good!
Qin Lingyu also followed everyone, searching for the whereabouts of Ye Xiuwen and "Yao Mo" without saying a word. To be honest, he didn't really mind that "Yao Mo" was killed. Anyway, what he wanted to capture was just the contents of "Yao Mo's" storage ring. But the prerequisite for seizing it was to find the location of "Yao Mo". If "Yao Mo" was eaten completely by the spiritual beast, where would he go to find that little ring
Therefore, no matter what the reason was, he would take the disciples of Xuyang Sect to search the woods several times.
"Senior Brother Qin, it's getting late, do we still want to continue searching?" One of the disciples of the Xuyang Sect asked breathlessly.
They had been searching the forest for most of the day to find Ye Xiuwen and "Yao Mo". I had been traveling for several days, and I stopped today to make some repairs. Unexpectedly, I was disturbed by Ye Xiuwen's disappearance.
Among this group of people, several disciples looked unhappy and were full of resentment towards Ye Xiuwen and "Yao Mo".
"Forget it, let's go back." Qin Lingyu ordered, "We'll wait another day tomorrow. If we can't wait for anyone, we'll leave."
-Although I really want to get the storage ring in the hands of "Yao Mo", the sect's mission is more important. If it is delayed for too long, the sect's mission may be difficult to complete, which is obviously not worth the gain.
What's more, if Ye Xiuwen and "Yao Mo" didn't come back after another day, they might really be buried in the belly of the beast.
The others breathed a sigh of relief and followed Qin Lingyu and Ke Xinwen back to the camp along the original route.
A peaceful night passed quietly, and the morning light from the horizon illuminated the entire earth and penetrated into the dense woods.
Ye Xiuwen and Jun Xiaomo still stayed in the cave. Although they could not see the sun shining on the earth, they could roughly calculate the current time.
Jun Xiaomo finally survived a night of alternating pain and cold, and his body gradually recovered. Ye Xiuwen wrapped her too tightly, and after her body no longer shivered, Jun Xiaomo felt a little stuffy in a daze, so he took out two slender arms from the quilt and hugged Ye Xiuwen's strong body. Her strong waist rubbed against his arms.
Ye Xiuwen: "..."
For some reason, after having the thought that "Yao Mo is probably Jun Xiaomo", he felt that being close to "Yao Mo" became awkward. Even though he repeatedly warned himself that "Yao Mo" could not be Jun Xiaomo, the similarities between the two in details still made Ye Xiuwen's mental construction fail time and time again.
Just like now, the plush back of the "boy's" head is facing her, and her cheek is buried in his arms, like an attached little beast.
In this situation where he couldn't see his face, Ye Xiuwen would always have the "illusion" that the person in his arms was none other than Jun Xiaomo.
Ye Xiuwen closed his eyes and once again eliminated this unrealistic "illusion" from his heart.
But sometimes, once the trap of suspicion is opened, it is difficult to close it. Sooner or later, Ye Xiuwen will find more similarities with Jun Xiaomo in "Yao Mo".
"Well..." Jun Xiaomo groaned and moved in Ye Xiuwen's arms. Ye Xiuwen lowered his head and looked at Jun Xiaomo. At this moment, Jun Xiaomo's eyelashes also moved.
Slowly, Jun Xiaomo opened his eyes.
Jun Xiaomo looked at the blood-stained white clothes in front of him with a confused look, then followed the white clothes and looked up, first at the chest, then at the neck, and finally, he met a pair of deep eyes.
Well... what's going on now? When Jun Xiaomo first woke up, his slow brain suddenly became stuck again.
