Chapter 23: Spider silk

Views:

After staying in the tent for two nights, everyone found a big inn in the rainforest and moved in one after another. Tang Zhuo looked at the fruit tree outside the window and was greedy. He ran out to pick the biggest fruit on the tree. He was so beautiful that he was about to leave, but his heart moved.

Wouldn't it be too obvious if he only gave it to him? So I went back and picked a basket and dragged it back.

Tang Zhuo ran into the yard with a few big fruits he had picked in advance, and saw Xuan Ziyuan passing by upstairs from a distance, and quickly shouted: "Xin Ziyuan!!!"

Upstairs, Xuan Ziyuan turned around, but there was no one on the corridor. Turning his head and walking away, the voice chased after him and sounded again: "Senior!!! Look down at me!!!"

Sure enough, when Xuan Ziyuan looked down, Tang Zhuo was standing in the yard and looked up at him. At this time, he stepped back a few steps to see him more clearly. He waved happily, "Senior!!!"

Xuan Ziyuan said calmly, "What are you doing?"

Tang Zhuo held up a big fruit and said as if offering a treasure: "This is from the fruit tree outside our house, but I picked it for you. Do you want to eat it? It's delicious."

Xuan Ziyuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Throw it up."

Tang Zhuo estimated the distance between the two upstairs and downstairs at the moment, and said: "I'm sorry! I can't throw it up! I'll go upstairs for you-"

Before he could finish speaking, Xuan Ziyuan actually supported himself with one hand and turned downstairs directly.

He walked very lightly, stepping across the grass, his blue hairband fluttering slightly with the pace.

After returning to the room, Xuan Ziyuan stared at the big red fruits that were reflective and seemed to be thoughtful.

"It's from the fruit tree outside our house, but I picked it up for you..."

After staring for a while, I finally made up my mind to taste it. At this time, a series of footsteps sounded.

When Xuan Ziyuan looked up, he almost turned into a stone statue.

I saw several teenagers from the Xuan family walking in talking and laughing. The red fruit that everyone was carrying was extremely eye-catching in Xuan Ziyuan's eyes, round and full, and the dew was not exhausted.

Everyone chattered: "Tang Zhuo and the others really eat wherever they go. When they come to the inn, they have to pick up the fruit trees outside. But this time, the sun is really coming out of the west, and they have to send so many. Give it to us, don't be embarrassed."

Xuan Zikang lowered his head and gnawed wildly, noticing that Xuan Ziyuan's face was not right, he said to Xuan Ziyuan vaguely while chewing, "Zhi Yuan, why don't you eat birds on your pillow?"

Xuan Ziyuan twitched his lips and said expressionlessly, "I hate sweets."

"..." Xuan Zikang raised his eyebrows and said, "But you have never eaten it. This fruit is sour—"

Hyun Jae-yeon got up and walked out.

Xuan Zikang turned his head to look at his back, and Xuan Zilin asked, "What's wrong with Ziyuan, doesn't he seem to be in a bad mood?"

Xuan Zikang said, "I'm not too worthy, maybe because he ate too much fruit, he looks sour."

Tang Zhuo was in a good mood talking to a few teenagers in the yard, when he suddenly saw Xuan Ziyuan approaching, and he wanted to wave his hand in an impromptu manner, but he saw that Xuan Ziyuan's face was terrifyingly dark and aggressive, as if he was looking for him. After reckoning, he shrank his hand back all of a sudden.

When several female disciples saw Xuan Ziyuan approaching, they hurriedly shouted shyly, "Young Master Xuan! What are you doing here—"

Xuan Ziyuan was expressionless, ignored them, grabbed Tang Zhuo by the collar without saying a word, and dragged him away. Tang Zhuo was dragged all the way into the room by him, threw it to the front of the case, closed the door with his backhand, and slapped a few mellow red fruits on the case, and the fruits spun around. Xuan Ziyuan said expressionlessly, "I, don't."

Tang Zhuo was stunned, and said anxiously: "Why don't you???"

Xuan Ziyuan said in a flat tone: "If you don't want it, you don't want it."

Turn around and leave. Tang Zhuo caught up a few steps and pressed it into his arms: "I'll give you what you want, this is my special—"

Xuan Ziyuan immediately interrupted him and said, "No."

Tang Zhuo said: "... what?"

Xuan Ziyuan said: "You said that it was only for me, but obviously everyone else has it, so I don't want it."

Tang Zhuo said: "No, it's different! You wait, listen to what I have to say-"

The door closed with a bang.

Tang Zhuo stomped his feet, slapped his forehead with an angry slap, rolled on the ground, and thumped the tunnel: "It's just a pig, a shame for Siyin Pavilion!!!"

This time, the two stopped talking to each other for three or four days in a row.

Spring outing begins to return. Tang Zhuo and Shi Jin set up the tent, and then carried the wooden barrels to find ingredients to eat.

When he came to the small river, Shi Jin rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs, and went down the river with the sword in hand. Tang Zhuo also rolled up his trouser legs and sleeves, and went into the water with his sword in hand. He stared at the river with his brows fixed, and suddenly saw a fat fish swimming in front of him, and immediately said, "Look at the sword!!"

But this thorn stabbed in the wrong direction, not only did not stab the fat fish, but also accidentally stabbed a big rock in the river. The tip of the sword brushed against the stone, taking away the center of gravity. Tang Zhuo was unsteady and fell into the water with a "thump".

Shi Jin: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!"

Tang Zhuo climbed ashore in embarrassment and fled with water dripping all over his body.

Tang Zhuo walked around with a wooden barrel and bowed his head dejectedly, when he suddenly heard voices coming from the front. Peeking through the leaves, a sword light flashed and a burst of water splashed, and with one sword, three fish were provoked and thrown into the wooden barrels on the shore.

Xuan Zilin wiped his sweat and said, "Ziyuan, there are already eight, enough!"

Xuan Ziyuan took back the silver luan and waded on the water to the shore.

Tang Zhuo immediately retracted behind the leaves. I just heard Xuan Zilin say again: "Let's go elsewhere to see if there is anything else to eat. Please, Ziyuan, take this bucket of fish back first and wait for us at the camp."

Hearing the footsteps of the miscellaneous fading away, Tang Zhuo finally exhaled, pushed aside the leaves and walked out. Xuan Ziyuan was bending over to lift the wooden barrel, and the fish's tail stirred up the water. Tang Zhuo hesitated for a moment, then stepped up and said, "...Senior!"

Xuan Ziyuan was stunned and looked at him subconsciously, but his expression changed, and he was about to leave, Tang Zhuo quickly stopped him and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong last time, I apologize to you. , just talk to me."

Xuan Ziyuan said, "...what are you doing?"

The word "again" made Tang Zhuo cough a few times in embarrassment. Tang Zhuo said: "Look at my wooden barrel, it's still empty. The last time I had to find something to eat, I only picked up a few mushrooms and the like, and I was poisoned after eating it. You are good, have pity on me. Well, just give me a fish, the thinnest, smallest and most unpalatable one will do, please."

Xuan Ziyuan was silent for a while, then silently caught two fish from the barrel and put them into Tang Zhuo's barrel. Tang Zhuo's eyes lit up and said happily, "Thank you, thank you!!"

Xuan Ziyuan hummed, "Is there only 'thank you'?"

Tang Zhuo's expression froze, and he said nervously: "What more..."

Xuan Ziyuan said, "Invite me to dinner."

Tang Zhuo hurriedly hugged his small wooden barrel and waved his hands again and again: "No, no, there is no reason to give half of the things that are sent out??"

"..." Xuan Ziyuan's face darkened again, as if he wanted to say something, but he was stuck for a long time without saying anything, turned his head and left.

Tang Zhuo said: "Hey!!!"

Tang Zhuo quickly flattered him: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just made a joke with you. Would you like to come to us for dinner today? I'll just talk to Shi Jin and the others."

Xuan Ziyuan's face turned even darker, and said, "I don't like to eat with other people."

Tang Zhuo widened his eyes and said, "Then why do you want to eat with me??"

Xuan Ziyuan was speechless and struggled: "I mean—"

Suddenly, there was a rapid "rustle" sound from nowhere.

Tang Zhuo also heard it, and immediately stopped and looked back. Xuan Ziyuan restrained his expression, protected Tang Zhuo behind him, and said, "Something is coming."

Tang Zhuo immediately remembered the ghost hunt that night, and his heart lingered in fear. Suddenly, the woods on the side trembled, and a huge black shadow roared out!

The sword light exploded!

The black shadow screeched and rolled to the ground, its four twig-like slender legs twisting constantly, it was actually a spider monster as tall as a person!

Xuan Ziyuan immediately threw down the wooden barrel and said, "Run!"

Tang Zhuo hurriedly dropped the barrel and ran. The spider monster stood up and shook its head a few times, and then it opened its mouth full of fine teeth and caught up with the wind!

Yin Luan continued to attack from behind, and the offensive was fast, but he couldn't resist the footsteps of the spider monster. Running and running, there was a steep slope in front of him. Tang Zhuo turned his head and saw that the spider monster was about to catch up!

Tang Zhuo paled: "What should I do??!"

Xuan Ziyuan said, "Jump!"

Tang Zhuo said: "I'm afraid!!!"

Xuan Ziyuan grabbed him and said, "It's okay, just follow me!"

As soon as the two jumped up, the spider monster opened the silver luan and rushed over, spit out a large mouthful of white silk, and wrapped the two of them. Tang Zhuo and Xuan Ziyuan fell all of a sudden.

The spider monster danced its eight long legs on the slope and saw that the white silk ball rolled all the way into the green forest and disappeared. He wandered around the slope for a few laps, and finally climbed back with long legs.

The two were wrapped around the white silk for a while and rolled back to back for a while before they stopped, and suddenly hit the tree, and Tang Zhuo let out an "ouch". Xuan Ziyuan struggled a few times but did not break free, and said, "Yin Luan!"

Yinluan flew from a distance and slashed at the spider silk, but the spider silk was surprisingly flexible and could not be cut with a sharp weapon. Tang Zhuo said: "I think the sun is going down soon, why don't we find a place to sleep first, and then think of a way."

So the two of them climbed up from the ground with difficulty. They had just taken two steps, but their steps were inconsistent. Tang Zhuo suddenly crooked, and the two climbed up again with difficulty, and finally staggered away.

But Tiangong was not beautiful, and before the residence was found, a rumbling thunder was heard, and it began to rain heavily.

Tang Zhuo had fallen into the water while fishing and was soaked all over, but when it rained heavily, he became a jerk, and his eyes were almost blinded by the rain. Xuan Ziyuan was also drenched from head to toe, but he didn't look embarrassed at all, on the contrary, he was exceptionally good-looking. Tang Zhuo glanced at him secretly. Xuan Ziyuan said at this time, "There is a tree hole over there."

Tang Zhuo followed Xuan Ziyuan's gaze, and there was indeed a big tree hole not far away, and there was no problem with Rong Jin and the two of them.

The two walked over quickly, Tang Zhuo was so tired that he sat in the tree hole first, and when he looked at his shoes, there was wet mud everywhere. Tang Zhuo sighed and fell on Xuan Ziyuan's body as if he had lost his bones. He called out, "I'm so hungry, so hungry... I haven't eaten anything yet..."

Xuan Ziyuan thought for a moment, then said, "Try, can you burn the spider silk with fire?"

So Tang Zhuo pinched a fire trick. Sure enough, the spider silk was slowly broken the moment it was touched by the flame.

Tang Zhuo finally collapsed into the cave all at once, got up after a while, picked up a few long branches outside the entrance of the cave, and put them on fire.

Xuan Ziyuan took off his robe and put it on the branch. Tang Zhuo didn't move for a long time, and finally took off his clothes and put on a branch, then silently shrank to the corner and fell asleep on his knees.

After a while, Hyun Ziyuan also fell asleep.

The warm fire light half illuminated the tree hole, sparks and the sound of rain kept jumping, and there was a crackling sound of fire.

Tang Zhuo secretly opened his eyes and looked at Xuan Ziyuan. Seeing that he seemed to be really asleep, he slowly rubbed against Xuan Ziyuan and whispered, "Senior?"

no response. He called again, "Xin Ziyuan?..."

"Young Master Hyun?"

"Ziyuan?"

"Paper kite?"

"Brother Yuan?"

"Xiao Yuan?"

"Sister Xiaoyuan??"

So Tang Zhuo was finally completely relieved, sitting next to him holding his face and starting to look at Xuan Ziyuan's sleeping face.

Xuan Ziyuan usually looks cold and indifferent, and frowns from time to time, but after falling asleep, his face looks extremely soft under the firelight.

Tang Zhuo couldn't help poking his face, then withdrew his hand, continued to hold his face in a daze, and began to smirk. Finally, the sleepiness gradually came up, Tang Zhuo yawned, then froze for a while, carefully leaned up and kissed Xuan Ziyuan's cheek, then leaned on him contentedly and fell asleep.

When he woke up, Tang Zhuo was covered in a silver-patterned blue shirt. Rubbing his eyes, he saw Xuan Ziyuan walk in from outside the tree hole and said, "It's time to go."

Tang Zhuo let out an "oh" in a daze, and grabbed Xuan Ziyuan's clothes and went to get his own clothes. Who knows, when he touched it, he found that his clothes were not yet dry.

Tang Zhuo couldn't help but sneezed. Xuan Ziyuan said, "You can also wear mine."

Tang Zhuo took his clothes and said, "No need, I—"

Xuan Ziyuan came over and took his own clothes to put on for Tang Zhuo. Tang Zhuo saw that the clothes were a bit too big for him, but at the same time, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, and blood rushed to his face.

Xuan Ziyuan walked in front with Tang Zhuo's clothes, while Tang Zhuo silently walked behind. The two didn't speak the whole way, and they didn't know how long they walked before returning to the camp.
