The night in the forest was extraordinarily quiet, without the expected loud roar of wolves and insects, Ye Wuchen set up the big tent brought from home, and called out the big bed that belonged to them. Ningxue and Tongxin, who were tired all day, soon fell asleep lazily. This small space and that familiar bed gave them the feeling of home.
After they fell asleep, Ye Wuchen walked out of the tent and leaned against a big tree not far away. His eyes were slightly closed, and soon his breathing became even and long, as if he had fallen asleep.
The woman who hadn't left opened her eyes and looked at Ye Wuchen's position, she could feel the deep affection between him and the two girls. Ningxue and Tongxin looked at him and told her that it seemed to be a kind of attachment that had been deeply engraved in her heart and could never be severed. Like family affection and not like. She has already lost the feeling of family affection, and only occasionally recollects it silently in her memory.
After a long time of breath adjustment, the injury on her shoulder has healed seven to eighty-eight. She stood up and quietly walked to Ye Wuchen's position, sleeping state is the best time for her to strike, she can be truly foolproof.
When she approached, Ye Wuchen suddenly opened his eyes, raised his head and said with a smile: "Can't fairies fall asleep?"
The woman stopped in her tracks and unconsciously looked away.
"Since we can't sleep, how about we chat? Although the fairy is not weak, if she is alone in the forest, she will always encounter dangers of all sizes. Wouldn't it be better for us to go together and take care of each other?"
The woman hesitated for a moment, leaned against a tree next to him and sat down, still not saying a word. For an unknown number of years, she hadn't spoken to a man outside of her "family".
"It should be the first time for you to travel far." Ye Wuchen folded his hands behind his head, looking at the bright half moon in the sky with his hands on his pillow. These words seem to be asking, but they are said in an affirmative tone.
"If you don't answer, you will acquiesce. No wonder... Do you know why I think so? First, you are very proud and exclusive, and you don't want to communicate with outsiders at all. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are autistic. I have a sister who is very similar to you .She seldom walks out of her own house, even the door of her own room. I think if my sister goes out for a walk for the first time, her performance should not be much different from yours. So, this time it should be you There is some special intention to reluctantly walk out of the house or teacher's door, right?" Ye Wuchen picked up a dead leaf on the ground and said slowly. The shadow of Ye Shuiyao appeared in his mind again, and at some point since then, this woman's figure had been quietly imprinted in his heart, and he often couldn't help thinking of it.
Beauty is a disaster!
In terms of appearance alone, Ye Shuiyao is better than Hua Shuirou, and also better than every woman he has ever seen. He believed that even compared to Shui Mengchan, who was known as the number one beauty in Tianlong, she would not be inferior.
"Secondly, you are too conservative. Looking at your previous performance, not to mention being touched on the body, even looking at your appearance is like killing you. If you are used to walking outside, it will never be like this. Three Come on, your experience in fighting the enemy is obviously inexperienced. Even if you lost to the unicorn before, relying on the cover of the trees here and its clumsy speed to retreat is not difficult, but you were injured and almost died. Fourth, you are also aware that you will encounter various dangers alone, and you are willing to walk with us, but you have hesitated for so long and can't say anything. And... "
"You don't need to say it." The woman finally said quietly, "You are right, this is indeed the first time I have walked so far alone."
"Then dare to ask where the fairy wants to go?" Ye Wuchen turned his face and asked.
The woman hugged her knees with both hands, bowed her head, and bent her body into a soft and charming sitting posture. She hesitated for a while and said in a low voice: "Yanlong City."
Yanlong City is located in the extreme south of Tianlong Kingdom, it is the city closest to Tianmie Volcano, and it is also the place Ye Wuchen must pass through. Ye Wuchen was surprised at first, then smiled and said: "It seems that we and the fairy really have a lot of fate, we just happen to be going to Yanlong City, how about going together?"
The woman was silent, and then replied coldly: "Don't call me a fairy."
Her answer undoubtedly agreed to Ye Wuchen, and he immediately asked: "What is the fairy's name? By the way, my surname is Ye, and my name is Wuchen. They are my younger sisters, Ningxue and Tongxin."
"Meng Zhi." After hesitating for a long time, she said her name.
"Mengzhi... a very good name." Ye Wuchen smiled slightly, savoring these two words carefully: "However, I think Zhimeng seems to be more suitable for you."
Her pupils flickered slightly, but disappeared in an instant.
"Fairy Meng, it's already late at night, don't you just want to sleep outside like this? Come to think of it, you should be the proud daughter of heaven who is used to living a life of rich clothes and fine food. This is the first time you have traveled so far without bringing food. You don’t bring a tent, and the only thing you bring is money. Didn’t your family tell you what to bring before you went out? Remember it next time.”
Meng Zhi: "..."
Ye Wuchen waved his palm, the sword god ring flashed white light, and a similar tent was unfolded directly in front of him, Ye Wuchen retracted his hand, stood up and said: "Even if you are really a fairy, sleeping in the wild Not good. There is a bed in it... Don't worry, that bed is new, no one has slept in it, and there is enough pastry, you should be hungry."
After finishing speaking, he turned and left, and entered the tent that belonged to him and Ningxue Tongxin. When he pulled the tent up, he smiled at Meng Zhi who was a little absent-minded... It was an encouraging smile.
The night was as cool as water, and a gust of cold wind blew by, bringing a slight chill. Meng Zhi subconsciously hugged herself tightly. She had just been injured, her body was already weak, and she only knew how to move forward, completely unaware that there was no one in the large area ahead, she hadn't had a drop of water all day, and she was very hungry. After all, she is just a woman traveling alone for the first time, and she thinks many things too simply.
Hunger, cold, and tiredness hit at the same time, she finally gritted her teeth, let go of her reserve, and entered the tent.
As Ye Wuchen said, there is a big and soft bed inside, with a light fragrance, without any smell that makes her sick. The bed sheets, quilts, and pillow covers are embroidered with exquisite phoenix embroidery, and it looks like a woman's incense couch. There was a small table next to the bed, with a bag of water on it, several boxes of different pastries, a few pieces of fruit, and a neatly roasted rabbit leg, presumably he left it on purpose before.
Meng Zhi stood there blankly, momentarily confused, not knowing how to express her feelings. She didn't know how long it took before she came back to her senses and walked in slowly, but her heart no longer had the peace it had before.
The next day, this woman named Mengzhi walked with Ye Wuchen and the three of them all the way, she still said very little, Ye Wuchen didn't bother to make fun of herself, only Ningxue kept asking her all sorts of strange things excitedly. The problem.
The poor bay red horse didn't know where to flee or become the dinner of some ferocious beast yesterday. The four of them walked on foot, and none of them seemed anxious.
"Brother, tell a story." The tired Ningxue said while lying in Ye Wuchen's arms, wrapping her arms around his neck. Listening to the funny stories told by her brother every day has long been a great enjoyment in her life. Tong Xin's eyes were also shining brightly, looking at him eagerly.
"Okay, what story does Xue'er want to hear?" Ye Wuchen asked. With his current physical strength, he wouldn't feel tired if he carried Ningxue for a whole day, let alone Tongxin. As for Mengzhi... Whether she can bear it or not has nothing to do with him for the time being.
"I want to hear... the story of the Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood." Ningxue shouted excitedly.
Ye Wuchen's face was slightly stagnant, and he said with a smile: "This story has been told many times, my brother will tell you another... a story about a fairy, okay?"
"Fairy? Yes, yes, I want to listen."
"Ahem." Ye Wuchen pretended to clear his throat, then sneaked a look at Meng Zhi, who was expressionless, and said solemnly: "Once upon a time, there was a very beautiful fairy in the sky. , she has long hair and snow-white clothes. One day, she suddenly wanted to see the world, so she secretly descended from the sky alone. As a result, since she left home for the first time, she didn’t know how long the sky was. He was so tall, so he accidentally didn't control his face to land on the ground first when he lowered, and his face was smashed. Therefore, this poor fairy can only cover her face with a white veil every day, and dare not let others see her. to her face."
"Ah? This fairy is so pitiful. Did she recover later?" Ningxue asked with concern. Meng Zhi, who had been silent all this time, stiffened a few times.
"Later... after the poor fairy fell, it rained heavily, almost drenching her. She had to find a small thatched hut to shelter from the rain. But the rain didn't stop, and some bad guys rushed into the little thatched hut again When they saw the fairy with her face covered, they thought she was beautiful, so they wanted to snatch her home to be their wife, but the fairy had great powers, so she gave them a hard lesson, and they couldn't help themselves in the little grass hut. So she ran southward, and finally ran into a forest by accident. Naturally, there are many beasts in the forest. This fairy thought that animals in the world are easy to bully, so she had no defense at all, but was killed by a long She was wounded by a tall and big beast with a horn on its head, and was almost eaten by her. Later, three kind-hearted people passed by, and they knocked down the beast and saved the fairy. The fairy Not only did they not thank them for their life-saving grace, but they were so cold-faced that they didn’t even bother to look at them, and they spoke indifferently.”
"Well, this fairy is so impolite... Eh? Brother, why do I always feel that I have heard this story before? Brother, have you told this story before?" Where have I heard this story.
"Later, that fairy found out that the world was so scary, and she was very frightened. She wanted the three kind-hearted people to protect her, but she was too embarrassed to say it. Beds and a lot of food... What the well-meaning people didn't expect was that the slender-looking fairy could eat so much. She ate more than the three of them in one night. The sheet of the bed was dirty a lot." Speaking of this, Ye Wuchen finally couldn't help laughing.
Meng Zhi's face became more and more red, even though there was a veil separating her, a blush could still be seen that had spread to the base of her ears, and she secretly clenched her hands, but she couldn't attack.
"Ah! Brother, I remembered. The fairy you mentioned looks like Sister Meng." Ningxue suddenly realized, and looked at Meng Zhi who was feeling uncomfortable all over.
"No...it's not me." Meng Zhi shook her head as if frightened, facing Ye Wuchen's expression of suppressing a smile, she snorted coldly, gritted her teeth firmly, and even had the heart to burrow into the grass by the side of the road . It can only be blamed that she was really hungry yesterday, unknowingly finished all the food prepared by Ye Wuchen... still not satisfied.
