sin of nature

Early the next morning, everyone packed their bags and set off again.

Riding on the horse, Jin Buhuan looked at Kuang Yu who carried the deer into the carriage, and sighed to Xiao Ming, "Master Ming Shui, you see, we are dragging our families, and we don't want to move our family."

Xiao Ming was disturbed when he heard the words 'tow the family with the mouth', and saw Yao Guang Yuma coming this way, he hurriedly dodged deliberately, he didn't know what he thought of, and resisted, "What drags the family with you?" Master Huan Shui, don't make jokes casually!"

Jin Buhuan froze on the spot with a blank face, very puzzled, and murmured, "What did I say?"

Along the way, Xiao Ming didn't dare to talk to Yao Guang, since the two of them accidentally kissed last night, he was very disturbed.On the one hand, it was because the incident was originally an accident, but my own reaction was so strong. It was a bit too much to go back to the hospital alone without waiting for Yaoguang last night, as if I had been taken advantage of, but in fact Even people don't want to have such contact with you at all.On the other hand, after thinking about it, he still felt that he must have heard it wrong...how could Yaoguang ask such a question...it was himself, not because of some ulterior motives I heard it wrong for some reason...

Xiao Ming intentionally or unintentionally kept a certain distance between the horse and Yao Guang, and also uncharacteristically did not talk to the other party...but when he saw the other party's face, he would think of what happened last night, which was really embarrassing.

For two days in a row, the two did not speak more than two sentences.

The place they came to this time is the easternmost city-state of Yingguo, named Pingshan.

Although the name of the place contains the word mountain, there are no tall mountains along the way. The tallest ones are just one or two small hills that you may encounter on the road.

The farther east you go, the fewer and fewer people you can see, and the richer the vegetation, there are many different kinds of flowers and plants that are not good at raising.The sky became clearer, showing a translucent blue, the temperature became colder, and the wind made my cheeks ache.

Finally, they arrived at a town with densely populated households. They sat down in a clean-looking inn, ate and rested, and inquired about news along the way.

All the arrangements are very simple, a bit deserted, there are only a few tables of guests, all of whom seem to be regular customers, and are doing homework with the guys in common clothes.

The only clerk in the store saw a few people coming in, so he hurriedly greeted them, and greeted them very enthusiastically, "Are you here for the first time? Do you want to stay at the top or stay in the store?"

Jin Buhuan immediately asked, "Do you have anything delicious here?"

The guy hurriedly reported the names of more than a dozen dishes, but they were all ordinary dishes, and even Jin Buhuan couldn't whet his appetite.Seeing this, the buddy quickly explained to Yuanchang, "Pingshan is indeed no different from other towns. It is very cold all year round, and the fields can only grow potatoes. The vegetables I reported to you just now are all shipped from other towns. Please bear with me. Yes! Our beef here is very good. They are all raised in our own home. How about cutting a few catties of beef for you, making special potato chips, and warming up with some wine? I see that you are all dressed thinly The very... ”

After getting the answer, the buddy first served hot wine to everyone, and stood aside talking to a few people.

Xiao Ming asked, "Is there a place called Peak Jianjian near here?"

When the man heard the name, he smiled clearly, "You must have come to enjoy the wonders of the mountain stream! Let me tell you why you came all the way to our place—"

Everyone only knew that the peak-to-peak stream was a place name given to them by Emperor Kaiyang, but they didn't know what was so wonderful about it, so they asked curiously, "What wonders does this peak-to-peak stream have?"

The guy set out the stewed beef and freshly fried potato chips for everyone, and then said to everyone, "It can be said to be a spectacle in our area. You guys came all the way, didn't you see many mountains?"

Not really.

The guy continued, "We only have two high mountains here, which are within five miles east of this town, close to the border. These two mountains are very close to each other, and there is only a stream between them, so they become a stream between the peaks. Even It's freezing outside, and the stream won't freeze and stop flowing. What's even more amazing is that every day when the sun rises, there will even be a ray of golden light bursting out of the river, which is really unique. "

Xiao Ming sighed, "If that's the case, it's really a miracle."

The clerk said, "Yes! But it's getting late today, you might as well stay here first, and set off before dawn tomorrow morning to catch up."

Although they didn't come here to enjoy the spectacle, it was indeed very late now, and everyone had been on the road for a day, and they might not be able to find an inn any further, so they planned to stay.

But Xiao Ming felt a little strange, always felt that the guests at the other tables in the inn had been looking at them since they came in, and the bamboo-woven sealed round belly panniers placed under their tables looked very suspicious.

But they had nothing to be afraid of, and ordinary people couldn't do anything to them, so they ordered the staff to prepare a few rooms for them.

After a few glasses of wine, everyone warmed up a bit. Although the food in front of them was ordinary, it was also very delicious. With the mellow wine, the fatigue on their bodies gradually disappeared.

After everyone finished eating, the clerk took everyone upstairs, walked to the end of the side, and then said, "I forgot to tell you just now that our inn originally only had five rooms, and two of them have already been reserved." After getting off, there are only three rooms left, and you may have to squeeze together—the bed is very spacious, and two people can sleep on it.”

Everyone: "........"

Kuang Yu didn't hesitate at all, and rushed to the room at the end by himself, and closed the door with a "bang".

The remaining four people looked at each other in blank dismay: "......"

After experiencing Jin Buhuan's questions of "do you want to sleep with your daddy" and "you want me to sleep with your daddy", he also resolutely took Jin Buhuan into the room on the left.

In the end, Xiao Ming and Yao □□ □ atmosphere were left standing in place subtly.

"Hmm..." Xiao Ming pointed to the room on the right with a headache, and said helplessly, "Let's go...it's so cold outside."

Yao Guang responded and followed him into the bedroom.

The man said from outside the room, "I'll bring up the stove for you later."

Not long after, the man came up with a charcoal fire and a stove.

Xiao Ming sat on the side of the bed, watching the clerk turn the stove upside down, Yao Guang sat at the table in the middle of the room, he didn't know where he was looking, his back looked a little lonely.

The clerk was tinkling the charcoal fire, and the room soon became warmer. Xiao Ming secretly hoped that he could do it for a while, so that he could temporarily escape the embarrassment of being alone with Yao Guang.

But the man quickly lit the fire, "This charcoal fire is enough to burn the whole night. It is very cold at night. Without it, I will freeze to death." He poked his head out and asked, "Do you two want to take a bath? Our hot water is quite enough... There is also a bathtub."

Xiao Ming immediately jumped up when he heard the word 'bathing', and said repeatedly, "No, no, no, no."

"Okay, those two need to call me anytime."

The door was closed lightly, and that sound seemed to knock on Xiao Ming's heart, making him restless.

The bed is really wide, and there are two quilts, so they won't disturb each other.

Isn't it just sharing the same bed?Why is he nervous........ I have known Yao Guang for so long, and I have known Li Ran for so long. It is a fateful friendship. Why am I being so shy here.

Xiao Ming, who scolded himself severely in his heart, took a deep breath, and just about to speak, Yao Guang who was sitting at the table got up and looked at him, with a very calm expression, and said, "I'd better go out."

"Why are you going out?" Xiao Ming immediately got up and stood in front of him.

Yao Guang avoided his gaze, and said lightly, "I don't need to rest."

Xiao Ming was startled, and pulled his sleeve, "It's so cold outside, don't go out—"

Yao Guang turned his head and met his gaze.

"sorry"

"Feel sorry"

Both of them were startled when they said it at the same time.

"No, no, no, let me talk first!" Xiao Ming quickly took over the conversation and said sincerely, "What happened that day was just an accident, we didn't think about it, but I acted as if I was taken advantage of by you, In fact, I didn’t think about it in my heart, but I was at a loss for a while, and there was no other meaning.”

The person in front of him looked at him quietly, his eyes softened and filled with incomprehensible complex emotions. After he finished speaking, he only responded lightly, more like a sigh.

Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief, the boredom of the past few days was swept away.

Yao Guang nodded to him and said, "I know."

Xiao Ming thought to himself, then why are you apologizing.But he didn't ask, for some reason, he always felt that Yao Guang looked a little lonely, very similar to the look he had when he sent him away more than 100 years ago when he left Li Ran to find the truth in the God Realm.

He felt a little uncomfortable for no reason, and wanted to remove that look from Yao Guang's face.

Is it.....

"Don't you think I took advantage of you that day?" Xiao Ming looked at the other party in disbelief.

Yao Guang was startled, and just about to deny it, he suddenly felt his collar being pulled, causing him to lower his head slightly, and a soft thing stuck to his lips.

Xiao Ming tilted his head slightly, closed his eyes, left with just a light touch on his lips, and murmured, "Let's even it out."

He let go of Yao Guang's collar, turned around and threw himself on the bed, buried his face in the quilt, and said loudly, "You still said you were going out, and your mouth was icy—" Turned around on the bed like a child, shrunk inside, laughed twice, "I want to sleep inside."

Yao Guang obviously hadn't recovered from the kiss just now, he stretched out his hand to touch his lips in a daze, suddenly there was a small storm in his heart.
