The fire crackles from time to time, dispelling the coldness of late autumn and bringing some warmth.Zhan Zhao added some twigs to the fire, leaned against the trunk tiredly and closed his eyes to rest his mind.He hadn't had a good rest for several days in a row, and the injuries on his body made him feverish intermittently, and he was extremely exhausted.Now, it's hot again.Breathe out a mouthful of turbid air, and drink all the water in the water bag in one gulp—I will arrive at Kaifeng Mansion in three days. Thinking of this, my brows are slightly relaxed, and I can take a good rest tonight.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he heard small footsteps approaching, opened his eyes vigilantly, and shouted in the direction of the person: "Who is it?!"

The person who came paused for a while, and then slowly walked out of the darkness. It was a woman.Zhan Zhao looked at her calmly, and although the woman was a little embarrassed, she also looked at him.Surprise flashed across her eyes, then she frowned, and finally she smiled flatteringly: "Hehe, sorry to bother you. I'm just... passing by, I'm not very familiar with this area, I'm a little dizzy, you know how to get out of the forest ?"

Zhan Zhao saw that the woman was dressed strangely, her words flashed, and she was walking alone in the wild late at night, so he couldn't help becoming wary of her, and asked, "I don't know where the girl is going?"

The woman took a few steps forward, squatting down in front of the fire to keep warm, the fire reflected on her face, Zhan Zhao saw her face clearly - the woman was born extremely bright, her eyes were lively, her lips were ruddy, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned; In the blink of an eye, the style is naturally revealed, and I only feel a smile on the corner of the eye and brow.The woman warmed up, breathed a sigh of relief, and replied, "I didn't go anywhere, I just wanted to come to this forest."

Zhan Zhao withdrew his gaze, and said lightly, "The road at night is dangerous."

As if to verify his words, the howling of wolves came from the forest. The woman was startled, looked around in horror, and asked, "What's that sound?"

Zhan Zhao also heightened his vigilance, saying, "Howling wolves."

The woman moved to his side, lowered her voice, and said, "Wolf? Are you sure? Is it calling you hungry?"

Zhan Zhao turned a deaf ear to it, and stood up with his sword in his hand. The movement of getting up affected the wound, forcing him to frown.This journey was in a hurry, and there was no time to take care of the injury. The wound had not healed for a long time, and now it was torn again.Seeing his complexion, the woman wanted to ask, but she was afraid of the sword in his hand, so she picked up branches from around and added them to the fire, muttering: "Beasts are afraid of fire, maybe you can make the fire hotter..." The words didn't stop. Luo Luo, only felt a touch of blue flashing in front of her eyes, Zhan Zhao was standing in front of her, the sword was out of its sheath, shining coldly.Through the blue skirt, the woman saw a wild wolf staring at them coldly not far away.Suddenly, she felt cold all over her body, and her mind went blank.

The wild wolf bared its teeth, let out a deep roar from its throat and jumped into the air. Zhan Zhao held his breath and concentrated, and he clenched the giant gate to meet him.The woman couldn't bear to look directly, half-closed her eyes and peeped through the gaps between her fingers to see the blue figure soaring into the air, flexibly dodged the attack, pierced the wolf's abdomen with a sharp sword, and landed safely.After that, there was a dead silence.

Zhan Zhao knelt down on one knee, propped his body up with a huge que, his chest heaved violently, the wound on his back was completely torn, and the blue shirt was stained with blood.The accumulated fatigue and the menacing high fever made him a little dizzy, and he closed his eyes tightly to adjust his inner breath. Fortunately, he could bear this injury.After a while, he straightened up, retracted Juque's sheath, glanced at the wild wolf's body, turned back to the woman and said, "It's all right for now."

Only then did the woman regain her senses, and glanced in the direction of the wild wolf, her expression of relief became tense due to the blood on Zhan Zhao's back: "You are injured!"

"It's just an old wound that's ripped open, it doesn't matter."

"Is it okay to bleed so much?" After the episode just now, the woman is not as cramped as she was at the beginning. "Take off your clothes, I'll give you some Yunnan Baiyao to stop the bleeding."

Zhan Zhao was in a bit of a dilemma. It would be best if the wound could be re-bandaged, but the other party was a woman, so it was inappropriate, so he declined, "Thank you for your kindness, but..."

The woman had already found the medicine, and hurriedly urged: "Hurry up, you think you are sweating?"

But, at her insistence, Zhan Zhao could only accept her kindness.She talked a lot, rambling on, and he listened silently without expressing his opinion.It wasn't until she tied the gauze that she asked a question he could answer: "My name is Su Lin, what about you?"

Zhan Zhao smiled, "I'm Zhan Zhao."

The woman's hand just stopped and stopped in front of his chest, with disbelief in her eyes, she stared at him blankly, unable to recover for a long time.Although Zhan Zhao had doubts, he didn't ask too many questions, it was just a chance encounter.

It wasn't until many years later that he accidentally heard that "the heart is like a double silk net, with thousands of knots in it." It dawned on him that she was the one of those thousands of kalpas.

Last night's rest was not good, but fortunately, the wound was bandaged again and the medicine was taken again. Now the high fever has subsided, and the wound is no longer painful.After tidying up, Zhan Zhao smiled at the woman, and said, "Thank you for giving me the medicine last night, I should thank you, but Zhan is still on business, so it's inconvenient. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can go to Kaifeng Mansion to find Zhan Zhao. Will do my best to help.”

"Master Zhan, where are you going?"

Zhan Zhao looked up at the sky, and said in a distant tone, "Return to Kaifeng Mansion to report." Because she was delayed for a long time, it was time to set off.

She nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly raised her head and smiled at him: "Master Zhan, I have always admired Master Bao, but I have no chance to see Master Bao's true face, can you let me go with you?"

That bright face was facing the light, full of smiles.He turned against the light, concealed his emotions, and remained silent for a long time.She was not in a hurry, her smile didn't decrease any more, on the contrary it became more dazzling.Zhan Zhao lowered his eyes to avoid her light.Although he couldn't figure out her intentions, he didn't refuse, smiled slightly and said, "In that case, let's go on the road together." She used Mr. Bao as an excuse for her strange appearance, so it's better to bring her with her to find out the details, so as to solve it Take precautions.

Zhan Zhao led the horse up the path, she followed, and asked, "How far is it from here to Kaifeng Mansion?"

"Fast horse for three days." While speaking, he got on the horse.Seeing her sneeze a few times, he took out his cloak and handed it over. "Girl's clothes are thin, let's put on this cloak first."

She took it with a strange expression, and took a long time to clean it up.Zhan Zhao had a relaxed face, but he was a little anxious in his heart, and he wasted a lot of time.When he looked at the sky again and bowed his head, he found that she stretched out her arms to him. He tilted his head slightly, looked at her inexplicably, and made a single sound, huh?

She looked at him, and said with a half-smile: "Master Zhan, please bother me to get on the horse, do you want me to run behind you?"

Zhan Zhao froze, speechless for a while.It's not that he has never seen a bold-tempered Jianghu woman before, but the woman in front of him is charming and sly, with a playful look in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a nice curve, she actually looks like a spoiled child!This made him very unhappy, he coughed, not knowing how to deal with this embarrassment.Seeing that she was still waiting, he sighed secretly, that's all!It won't work if you don't give her a hand. It's been delayed for a long time. It's better to go on the road earlier, just let her speak without words.

He bent down, hugged her waist, and was about to get up, but was frozen by her hands around his neck——her breath lightly fell into his ears, warm and tickling, and he even heard her smile Voice.Quickly leading her to the horse, the displeasure on Zhan Zhao's face could no longer be hidden, this woman displeased him.Before he could convey his displeasure to her, she became flustered because it was her first time riding a horse, and even the horse became anxious.Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, he had no choice but to suppress his displeasure for the time being, and comforted him: "Don't panic, girl, just sit still."

He walked very hard this way, she approached from time to time, and he tried his best to keep a distance.Looking at the woman who kept snuggling into his arms because of the cold wind, the corners of his mouth were tight and his body was stiff, it was really inevitable!This half day's journey was almost finished all the way with a stiff body, so that when passing by the tea stall for a rest, Zhan Zhao only felt that all the bones in his body were stiff.

The tea stand only has tea and simple food.Seeing that she could hardly eat, he persuaded her, "The tea stall is simple, the girl will just settle down."

Her always smiling face was wrinkled, and the cold steamed bun in her hand was deformed by her, but she said in her mouth: "I'm not picky eaters, but you have injuries on your body, how can you just eat these? It must be meatless! "

The appearance of her insincere words lightened Zhan Zhaojue's long-suffering mood, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Miss, I'm fine."

She didn't really care about how well he ate, so she quickly changed the subject.He leaned forward with a smile on his face again, and said, "Master Zhan, can you lend me some money?"

Zhan Zhao looked down at the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the cup, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, and said, "How much does the girl need?"
