After an unknown amount of time, she woke up.
When she woke up, she found that the clothes had been put on again, and the belt had been fastened again. They were arranged very well. There was not even a grass clipping, and there was not even the slightest trace of fleeing overnight. Under the clothes, she could clearly feel the presence of the bandage. She didn't know how the wound was treated, and the pain was much relieved, and she seemed to be able to move slightly.
She opened her eyes wide, looked at her arms, felt the extent of the bandages, and imagined the scene in the weed pile before, with a dazed expression.
After a while, she turned her eyes with some difficulty, looking for the figure of Zhe Xiu.
Zhexiu squatted on the edge of the water plants, which was the farthest place from her in the grassland. The hem of his clothes was torn off, and his legs were exposed. His posture was ugly, like a dog.
The torn hem of the skirt should have become a bandage between her chest and abdomen.
She looked into her arms again, not knowing why she felt very wronged, and thought: "How can you take off people's clothes without their consent?"
It's strange to say that after she no longer needs to hide her gender, she seems to start thinking like a little girl, such as calling herself "herringbone" instead of me, but she hasn't become a family yet.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved, especially since Zhe Xiu never turned around, which made her even more sad... Wow! She cried out.
Hearing the cry, the back of Zhe Xiu, who was squatting beside the water plants, trembled slightly.
After a while, he found that the crying did not stop, he walked over following the crying, sat in front of her, and said as gently as possible: "Don't cry."
Qi Jian's crying stopped for a while, and tears were all over his little face.
Zhexiu paused, and then said: "... Otherwise, it will be troublesome to provoke those monsters."
This is still nothing to say.
Whether it is an adult or a teenager, in short, men have never understood that looking for something to talk about at such a moment is often tantamount to looking for trouble for nothing, which is tantamount to looking for death.
Qijian was startled, and then cried again. She remembered that she didn't make a sound, so she looked even more pitiful.
Zhexiu was silent for a while, then explained: "You know, I can't see anything now, so..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Qijian cried even more sadly, thinking incomparably, although you couldn't see it, you touched his whole body, don't you want to admit it? Don't you want to be irresponsible
Zhexiu felt a headache. He had lived and fought for more than ten years. He had encountered many terrifying monsters and demons on the snowy field. He had seen countless lives and deaths, but... he had never seen such a situation. I thought what should I do? If you continue crying like this, what should you do if you hurt the wound
Hearing Qijian's sobs, he was very uneasy and a little puzzled, thinking that as the closed disciple of the head of Li Shan, you have such a high realm, you have already passed through the middle realm at a young age, and your swordsmanship is so strong, even Guan Feibai may not be your opponent, he is good at enlightenment every day, and he saw the third stele directly in the Mausoleum of the Book of Heaven. No matter how you look at it, it is very remarkable, why is he so... like to cry
Not knowing how to solve it, he had no choice but to sit silently aside, but he didn't know that this coping method coincided with the most important principle of how men and women get along.
The emotional problems of girls can only be solved by time. Many times, they just feel sad and want to cry, so you just let them cry, just accompany them, and pass the handkerchief when they need it. Don't be polite when you need to dedicate your shoulders, and you don't need to be around to comfort and talk. When they haven't really calmed down and don't want to make trouble, anything you do is troublesome.
Sure enough, the crying gradually subsided, Qi Jian lowered his head like a frightened bird, and said shyly, "You... Did you already know?"
There are two meanings hidden in this question, and it is very difficult to answer - if he knew it in advance, then the many physical contacts that happened afterwards, especially the previous scene, can have a more negative explanation. Fortunately, Zhexiu is really not good at talking, so he remains silent—silence can have many meanings, Qijian can choose the interpretation that makes her feel most comfortable.
In fact, Zhexiu really didn't expect it.
In the process of fleeing before, there were a few times, especially when he was carrying her across the mountains and listening to her softly hum, he had some vague thoughts, but those thoughts were fleeting, and he didn't think about it deeply at all. Because he never imagined that the closed disciple of Li Shan's head, the most beloved junior in the Seven Laws of the Kingdom of God, the young genius who was high on the Qingyun list at the age of twelve... was actually a girl.
At this time, when I recalled those scenes in the hut in the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books, I naturally had a completely different interpretation. At that time, the seven of them lived under the same roof, Zhexiu, Chen Changsheng, and Tang Sanshiliu occupied the inner room, and the four sons of Lishan Sword Sect lived in the outer room. Gou Hanshi, Guan Feibai, and Liang Banhu were crowded every day when they were sleeping. Together, but leave a large space for Qijian, the most important thing is that Qijian has a separate bedding. Back then, Zhexiu and Chen Changsheng thought that Gou Hanshi and the others were too spoiled by Qijian, a junior, or that the closed disciple of Li Shan's head had some special status, but now he realized that it turned out that there was only a difference between men and women.
What to do next? Zhexiu was silent, Qijian didn't know what to say, an awkward atmosphere lingered between the boy and the girl.
At this moment, a faint tremor came from the depths of the grassland, followed by a deep and thunderous roar. Zhexiu's expression changed slightly when he heard the sound, and he listened for a while, confirming that it was an extremely terrifying and powerful monster. Not caring too much, he took out the powder used to eliminate the smell, scattered it towards the grass, and at the same time turned around and squatted down in front of Qijian as he did during the day and night.
In the past day and night, they have repeated this process many times. Logically speaking, they should be very proficient, but perhaps because they confirmed that Qijian was a girl, the movement of folding the sleeves seemed a bit stiff, stretching back Qu's hands were a little stiff, looking like a duck that was about to be stewed.
Seeing his appearance, Qijian burst into laughter, patted his back lightly, motioned him to squat lower, and then slowly bent down, wrapping his arms around his neck naturally.
It may really be a psychological factor, Zhexiu felt that the feeling from the back became much softer.
In the grassland more than ten miles away, the land under the weeds kept rising, and there was a terrifying low noise like thunder. I don't know what was moving at a high speed. The sunlight at this time was very blazing, penetrating through the water pool at the bottom of the grass, illuminating the figures of countless monsters, as if a tide was following them, and it was extremely shocking to watch.
At the forefront of the beast tide, Zhexiu and Qijian waded through the water facing the rising and brightening sun. She is still his eyes, and he is still her legs.
"Which direction are you going?"
"There seems to be a large meadow in the southwest. The terrain is higher, or go and have a look? The sound is coming from the east, and you may need to hurry up."
After the conversation ended, there was a long silence, only the sound of water being stepped on, water splashing, and weeds getting taller.
I don't know how long it took, Qijian asked softly, "Are you surprised?"
Zhexiu was silent for a while, then said, "Yes."
She hugged his neck, leaned on his shoulder, smelled the familiar smell from her nose, and continued to ask softly: "What do you think?"
Zhexiu didn't answer, because he didn't know how to answer, thoughts? what idea? Thoughts as your fingertips slide over your slightly trembling body? No, the mind of the wolf boy at that time was blank, without any thoughts.
She thought to herself... Does silence mean unhappy? After a while, she asked in a softer voice, looking a little nervous: "Then do you think I'm better as a man or a woman?"
This question is not to criticize the heart, but to the point.
Zhexiu thought about it, since yesterday you have been hugging yourself tightly all the time since yesterday, if you are a man, this picture is really not beautiful, so he said: "Hi, girl."
Qijian was slightly ashamed, and said in a soft voice like a mosquito: "It's good for women to be together. Is that what you mean?"
Zhexiu thought that it is generally not good, you are not acting as grandly as before, why is this
…
…
There is a folk story in this continent, it is a story about a pig demon carrying his wife on his back.
Yes, no matter the story or reality, most of the time, it should be the man carrying the woman on his back, and it is hard to imagine the reverse.
So in this vast grassland, Zhexiu carried seven girls on his back, and on the other side of the grassland, Chen Changsheng also carried a girl on his back.
I have trekked in the grassland for a long time, and I am still in the wetlands. It is extremely difficult to walk, and the scorching sun shines on the reeds and unknown weeds in the water, as if to turn all the green plants into gold and silver sculptures. But he didn't shed a drop of sweat, the cold air constantly exuding from his body dispelled the scorching heat and resisted the sun.
Xu Yourong closed her eyes, leaning on his shoulder, without blinking her eyelashes, pursing her lips from time to time, it seemed that with Chen Changsheng's natural curling stone, she slept soundly.
Until now, there was no sign of Nan Ke chasing after him. Chen Changsheng thought that the demons probably didn't want to venture into this grassland, and they should have given up, so he felt relieved. Once his spirit relaxed, his injuries and fatigue suddenly seemed to be as strong as before. The water was gushing like a tide, and it trapped his feet like mud, making him no longer willing to take a step forward.
Surrounded by wetlands and weeds, there was no place to sit and rest at all. Chen Changsheng looked at the grass branches taller than a person, and had no choice but to continue walking with Xu Yourong on his back. It's just that instead of walking forward, he kept going around in circles, trampling down all the reeds and weeds around him, and gradually, a flat land made of green branches appeared in front of him.
With the cover of reeds and weeds, it is difficult for people outside to see the scene inside, and if someone can look down from the sky, they will see a small circle made of grass about several feet in radius. Xu Yourong hugged her knees and lay sideways on the green grass pile, looking very weak and pitiful, like a newborn child.
Sitting beside her, Chen Changsheng looked down at her face for a long time with a very serious expression, as if he had discovered something.
