Small wood

They rested in the inn for one night, and packed their things and set off the next day.

Four people, four horses, A Mu, Gu Lin, Zhou Xingping, and Qian Sheng.

Amu was very curious about Qian Sheng. The national teacher of a big country, not to mention the rags, was able to leave as soon as he said, and followed them to the North Kingdom.

Qian Sheng rode closer, and smiled at him: "After knowing my identity, do you think I am in admiration?"

Amu stared at him for a while, and asked quietly: "Are you really the national teacher?"

Qian Sheng curled his lips and raised his eyebrows: "Not like it?"

Amu didn't answer him, but instead asked: "Does the national teacher have a salary?"

Qian Sheng didn't expect him to ask this question, he smiled and didn't speak, but stopped his horse, and Amu stopped when he saw him stop, and looked at him.Unexpectedly, he suddenly stretched out his hand and fished Amu over.Ah Mu let out a sound, kicking his two calves in the air, but Qian Sheng didn't know how strong he was, so he pushed him onto his horse's back effortlessly.

Maybe Yun Duo felt that his back was getting lighter, so he looked over with wet black eyes, snorted curiously, pawed the ground, and stopped to eat grass in a good-tempered manner.

"Why did you stop?" Zhou Xingping also stopped his horse and asked Qian Sheng.

"It's about to rain, find a place to rest." He replied.

Amu looked up at the sky, it was blue, without even a cloud, it didn't look like it was raining.But Zhou Xingping said: "I'm going to find a place to stay." After saying that, he rode away.

Amu was uncomfortable being hugged by Qian Sheng, so he also got off the horse, and led Yun Duo to Gu Lin's side.

Zhou Xingping found a big tree with thick and huge leaves. Under the tree, there was a place almost the size of a house to hide from the rain.As soon as they got under the tree, the rain began to fall.

The rain in spring is not so cool, but very gentle, continuous, and even the voice is soft.Amu spontaneously went out to look for food. Zhou Xingping was shocked when he saw the pile of weeds and fruits that Amu brought back, and when he saw Amu proficiently lit a fire and roasted the rabbit, he laughed heartily, and put the package on his back on the ground. Throwing it on the ground: "Young master is a secretive person. My big bag of dry food seems to be leucorrhea. This fresh rabbit is much more delicious than dry cakes."

Amu also smiled, his eyes sparkling, and he was happy that he could do something. He didn't bring any salt, so he wrapped it in sweet grass and baked it. After a while, the oil squeaked, and the sweet grass was almost burnt black. After absorbing the rabbit oil, it softened again, sticking to the rabbit skin, and the sweet juice seeped into the rabbit meat.

When I went out to look for food earlier, my body was covered with rainwater, and my hair was also wet, soggy and curled up.After Amu roasted the rabbit, he tore off the rabbit's legs and gave it to Gu Lin. Gu Lin shook his head with a smile, and raised his hand to wipe Amu's hair with his sleeve. The dry cloth absorbed the rainwater from Amu's hair. After a while, it turned into mottled gray.

Amu looked at Gu Lin, a little dazed, with red ears.

The four men ate a rabbit. Fortunately, the wild rabbits in the forest were big enough, otherwise, like those meat rabbits raised in the town, it would not be enough for him to eat alone.

After eating the rabbit, Amu roasted the mushrooms he found, skewered them on the branches and stuck them in the soil, turning over from time to time.Because it was raining, the smoke couldn't rise up, and it circled around the tree mistyly.Qian Sheng was baking buns next to him, and the big white buns were baked black by him. He looked at them over and over, and couldn't believe that he had baked them, so he handed the buns to Amu: "Wood, bake it again for me." .”

Amu looked at the black bun, held back a smile and threw it back: "It's very well baked, eat it by yourself."

Qian Sheng smiled, hooked his neck and stuffed the buns into his mouth: "You have already agreed, then you can eat, you are growing up, right?"

Amu struggled and refused to eat, so Qian Sheng went to tickle him. Amu was about to choke back tears, and pushed him hard, laughing uncontrollably.

Gu Lin coughed lightly from behind.

Amu was taken aback, and tried his best to get out of Qian Sheng's arms. He ran to Gu Lin's side in three steps and two steps, and raised his hand to touch his forehead: "Young master, why is he coughing? Are you okay? Is it cold? Or is it this?" Smoked you?"

Gu Lin didn't speak, his gaze was hidden under the thick eyelashes, Amu couldn't see it.

Amu was impatient, he bent down and put his head in front of Gu Lin's eyes: "My lord?"

Those eyes were faint, and there was a faint smile. He just looked at Amu warmly, then reached out to touch the face in front of him, and said in a low voice, "I'm fine."

Amu was taken aback, realizing that he had overreacted.He straightened his waist and gave a fake cough.

Qian Sheng stood aside, his slender eyes squinted, so gloomy and complicated that even his eyes were dark, and there was no smile on his face. He just looked at them, didn't speak, and didn't joke with Amu anymore, but It was leaning against the trunk, as if sleepy.

"Young master really cares about you." Zhou Xingping said, his brows were frowning, his face was a little weird.

Amu didn't know how to reply to him, but just looked at him, gave another acknowledgment, turned around and pulled out the grilled mushroom skewers, and shared a skewer with each of them.

The rain continued to fall, but it didn't fall heavily. They drove for a while, and found a narrow and shallow cave when it was dark.

Zhou Xingping patted the rainwater on his body, but no matter where he took it, it had already seeped in. The cloth was saturated with water, but no water came down after squeezing. He blocked the entrance of the cave with his luggage and horses, lit a fire, and asked for money. Sheng: "When will it rain? My body is too wet. An egg in my pocket can hatch a chick."

Qian Sheng looked up at the sky, and said with a smile: "It won't be able to stop at [-]:[-] tonight. If you're lucky, you can stop tomorrow."

Zhou Xingping sighed, sat on the stone at the entrance of the cave and wiped his saber.

At night, the rain got heavier, and it crackled on the muddy floor at the entrance of the cave, and the wind picked up again. The cave was not deep at all, and the wind that came in turned and blew out again, and everyone was a little cold.

Worried about Gu Lin's body, Amu turned over and slept towards the entrance of the cave, thinking of protecting Gu Lin from the wind.

Although Gu Lin has not been sick for a long time, taking care of Gu Lin is like Amu's instinct. From the time Gu Lin came to Amu's room in the forest, Amu never stopped caring.

As soon as he moved, Gu Lin woke up and looked at him.

Afraid of wild animals, a fire was lit in the cave, and Gu Lin's face was bright and dark under the firelight. He took Amu's hand and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Amu was afraid of waking up others, so he lowered his voice: "Young Master, I'm sleeping outside." He understood that if he directly told Gu Lin that he slept outside because he wanted to protect him from the wind, Gu Lin would definitely not agree, so he Said, "Stay closer to the fire."

Gu Lin gave a low grace and let go of his hand.

Amu hurriedly turned over and slept outside, holding his back sideways to block the wind outside.But he didn't expect that Gu Lin followed suit and turned over to block Amu's side.

Amu was startled, and before he could speak, Gu Lin stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his shoulders, and touched his forehead with the nape of his neck.

"Young master?" Amu poked his head out of Gu Lin's almost impenetrable embrace.

Gu Lin covered Amu's body with his robe, gently pushed his head back into his arms, and whispered, "Go to sleep." Because of the close proximity, Amu's cheek could even feel the light touch between Gu Lin's neck when he spoke. tremor.The soft and warm skin is just under his lips, exuding a fresh and soft scent of hair and skin.

Amu understood immediately.

Gu Lin, I misunderstood.

He thought he was cold, so he let him near the fire.

But Gu Lin is too close to the fire, won't he get burned?

Amu hastily stretched out his hand to wipe Gu Lin's back, but luckily the fire had already been extinguished, leaving only the fiery glow and a few wisps of seedlings, although it was a bit hot, it was still tolerable.

Now it's impossible to turn over and lie outside Gu Lin, I'm afraid he will lie directly on the fire.

Amu pursed his smile, curled up for some reason, curled up into a small ball and nestled in Gu Lin's arms, his heart was beating fast, his throat was sour, and the warm water was flowing back and forth in his eyes, An incomprehensible trembling went straight to his heart, making him want to sit up and yell twice, or jump twice, he didn't know if it was happiness or what, but he liked this feeling, very much.

Gu Lin felt that Amu was trembling slightly, so he tightened his hands and hugged him as much as possible.

Amu grabbed Gu Lin's robe and pressed his face against it, wanting to see Gu Lin's face, but he didn't want to disturb Gu Lin with his movements, so he closed his eyes and listened to his steady and gentle breathing. Then, he also gradually fell asleep.

He didn't even notice it himself, even when he was asleep, there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Early the next morning, he was woken up by the sunlight. He didn't dream all night and slept very comfortably.He was so warm that he yawned, and his mouth was full of tears.

"Yo, you're awake." Someone's hand squeezed his face, so heavy that he drowsy and ran away.

Amu rubbed his eyes to see, but saw that Qian Sheng's face was only an inch or two away from him.

He backed away with a groan, but he didn't succeed, he was hugged by someone, and his movements were very light.

Only then did Amu wake up, and found that Qian Sheng and Zhou Xingping were all staring at him. The things on the ground had already been packed, and they seemed to be waiting for him.

He panicked, jumped up quickly, grabbed his hair and didn't know what to do, his body spontaneously moved towards Gu Lin's side.

Gu Lin stood up, his robe was a little wrinkled, and the fabric on his chest was twisted together.

Amu blushed when she saw it, and hurriedly reached out to flatten it.

"Slept very comfortably." Qian Sheng poked his head: "Xingping and I slept on the rock all night, and you fell asleep on your young master, drooling all over the floor."

Amu's face was so red that it was about to smoke, he couldn't say a word, he just straightened Gu Lin's clothes.

Zhou Xingping said suddenly: "Let's go after washing up, the sky is clear outside." His brows were tightly frowned, and he looked at Amu with strange eyes.

Amu hurriedly responded, and hurriedly went to wash up. After finishing, he found that even breakfast was prepared.He gnawed on the baked pie, his face was still red.
