accomplice

Bangzi's village is located in the middle of the mountains, not far from the mountain stream.

Zuo Ji and the others followed all the way, returned to the village, entered an earthen embryo house, and found that the layout was not right.

The stove is placed under the thatched shed built against the wall outside the house.

As soon as you step into the house, you will see the dining table, and further inside is the altar.

There are two rooms on each side of the house, without doors, but with curtains made of wild animal skins.

"I'll clean up for you right now, and you'll sleep in this room."

"Okay." Zuo Ji took a general look at the situation in the house, and asked, "Clapper, do you live alone?"

"Hey." He nodded, thinking about it, flushed on his face, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "We'll be together in a while."

"Two?" Zuo Ji frowned, and finally, after understanding, he said happily, "My boy, are you going to get married?"

Bangzi nodded vigorously, with a sweet face, seeing him like this, as a single dog, Zuo Ji was a little envious.

When will he have a companion?

Thinking of this, Zuo Ji suddenly thought of Li Xi.

He turned to glance at Li Xi, Li Xi was also looking at him at the moment, seeing him looking at him, Li Xi smiled softly.

Zuo Ji's face slammed to the ground, a little embarrassed.

What are you thinking about?

Cursing himself inwardly, he pretended not to care and coughed in embarrassment.

Clapper poured water for them.

After removing all the hunting tools from his body, Bangzi went to fetch food for them.

Zuo Ji didn't have much appetite, saw that Bangzi was going to clean up, so he followed to help, but when he went in, he found that the room was empty.

Clapper worked diligently, swept the floor with a broom, ran outside to move a few long benches, and then, from nowhere, brought three old wooden planks.

The long benches are lined up against the wall, the planks are stretched across the top, straw mats are spread, pillows and small quilts are placed, and a bed is completed.

Clapping his hands, he said, "There is no mosquito net. I'll find someone later to see if I can borrow one."

"No, it's fine." Li Xi came in and saw it, and said to him, "We're just resting our feet and staying here soon, so we can do whatever we want."

"That's good." Clapper nodded, but seeing Li Xi's attire, he hesitated and said, "I'm afraid you are not used to it."

Zuo Ji understood.

One look at the fabric of Li Xi's body shows that he is a pampered and rich man.

Bangzi was worried about his delicate skin and tender flesh, so he fed mosquitoes at night.

"It's okay~" Zuo Ji didn't take it seriously, and said, "They're all big men, they don't lie down anywhere, even if they just spread a straw mat on the ground, they don't wake up at night, so they are afraid of mosquitoes."

The words are very full.

But that was for Bangzi.

Before it was night, Zuo Ji began to feel depressed.

Both he and Li Xi didn't sleep all night. In broad daylight, they ate something casually, talked to Bangzi, and went back to the house to rest.

Mosquitoes are nowhere to be seen.

But the bed was too hard and too responsive, Zuo Ji was obviously very tired, but he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep no matter what.

He was upset, turned over and stared at Li Xi's back: "Li Xi."

"Ok?"

"Li Xi."

"Ok?"

Li Xi just responded lightly and in a low voice, without any other reaction, Zuo Ji felt bored, and turned over again, but Li Xi suddenly turned over and hugged him from behind.

Zuo Ji was startled and struggled to sit up. Li Xi was not surprised by his big reaction, and smiled: "Didn't you just keep calling me?"

"I, no, chat, no way."

Zuo Ji said every word, but realized that he might attract Bangzi if he was so loud, so he lowered his voice, frustrated: "I just can't sleep, so ignore me."

"Since I can't sleep..." Li Xi got up and approached him bullyingly: "Then should we find something to do?"

here we go again……

Zuo Ji clicked "tsk" and pushed him away: "Don't tease me, do you hear me?"

"tease?"

Li Xi was a little puzzled.

Zuo Ji opened his mouth, but thought about it, and felt that Li Xi's words might not mean what he thought. Thinking about it, it might just be that his mind was wrong, so he simply fell asleep and said: "It's okay."

Li Xi raised his eyebrows when he was like this.

After thinking about it, he felt that he might know what Zuo Ji meant by "flirting" and asked again: "Didn't you flirt with me first?"

After Li Xi said this, Zuo Ji sat up again with a "squeak".

"Are you looking for scolding?" Zuo Ji glared at him.

Li Xi didn't know why he was so noisy.

Seeing the irritability on his face, Li Xi thought of Zhong Sheng.

"Did you come to your senses and regret running away with me?"

Li Xi's question baffled Zuo Ji.

He frowned, looked at Li Xi's eyes, and finally smiled.

"Well, that's right." Zuo Ji wrinkled his nose and nodded to him seriously: "I regret it."

This is false.

Although even as a man he thought Zhong Sheng was handsome, but he was really afraid of him.

It is different from Li Xi's gentleness.

Perhaps because of his background and experience, Zhong Sheng exuded a dark and murderous aura all over his body.

Such a person, if you stay by his side, you don't know what will happen in the next second, okay?

Li Xi also saw it.

Zuo Ji was teasing him.

Zuo Ji didn't want to continue talking about this topic, so he lay down again.

The bed was really uncommonly hard.

Zuo Ji was very tired but still couldn't fall asleep, so he muttered irritably, but unexpectedly, Li Xi lay down and hugged him again.

He moved in, but was hugged tightly by Li Xi.

"Li Xi."

"Ok?"

"Don't hug me, it's too hot."

"This bed is too hard, I can't sleep without a soft one."

"... Hypocritical."

Hearing Zuo Ji's dislike for Baba, Li Xi was delighted.

Although Zuo Ji said so, he didn't push him away.

The two snuggled together like this, and after a while, Zuo Ji's breathing became smoother, and he gradually fell asleep under Li Xi's body temperature.

This time, I don't know how long I slept.

In the dream, I was very frightened.

Being chased by someone, Zuo Ji ran back home and tried to lock the door, only to find that the door couldn't be closed at all.

He panicked, and suddenly someone behind him asked him what was wrong, he threw himself in front of that person, grabbed the other person's clothes, and was about to say something, when he suddenly woke up.

Waking up suddenly, he sat up.

He was a little confused, but the feeling of grabbing the clothes in the dream was very real. He was very scared, wiped his face, heard the voice, turned his head, and found that it was Li Xi talking to Bangzi.

"... When is it?"

He spoke, his voice a little hoarse.

Bangzi's words were interrupted, hearing the sound, he walked around Li Xi and looked at him. Seeing his appearance, he was a little stunned.

The way he looked at Bangzi was a bit inexplicable, and Li Xi who was beside him directly blocked the sight of Bangzi cast on him.

With this block, Bangzi came back to his senses.

Feeling embarrassed, Bangzi smiled and said, "That's it, the meal is ready, I came in just to call you."

Li Xi responded politely: "We'll go out later."

"Okay." Clapper nodded and went out.

As soon as the clapper left, Li Xi said, "You really don't make people worry."

Zuo Ji raised his eyebrows, very puzzled, and asked: "What's the matter?"

There is no one else in the room.

Li Xi must be talking about him.

But he just woke up and did nothing.

But think about it carefully, Zuo Ji understood Bangzi's expression just now.

"You mean my face, right?"

Li Xi smiled faintly, and turned to him: "I'm talking about you."

Does this count as a compliment?

The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, Zuo Ji was a little happy, even a little pissed off.

"Eat, eat."

The mood is good, and people are hungry.

He got out of bed and was about to go out when Li Xi suddenly pulled him back.

He was pulled and staggered, and fell into Li Xi's arms. Just as he was about to complain, Li Xi covered his mouth.

Zuo Ji was stunned, listening to the voices outside, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

It seemed that a lot of people came in at Bangzi's house at once.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, they were quite surprised. They looked around and immediately jumped out of the small window next to the bed.

Nervously squatting against the wall, only to hear in the room: "Look, there are none. I don't have the person you are looking for at all."

The room was very simple, except for the temporary bed, there was nothing else.

"Who slept here?"

When Zuo Ji heard that it was Mo Jia's voice, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe.
