so long

Waiting is a long and tormenting process.

That's true for anyone.

The young man couldn't see, so his other senses were instantly sharpened. He could hear the whistling wind from the depths of the tunnel, the sound of leaves shaking outside the cave, and finally, some subtle footsteps. Each one is fast and hurried, as if rushing down the mountain to find something...

The young man was not sure whether those people were looking for him, nor could he be sure whether those people were good or bad to him, so he remained silent, and took out the cool jade bracelet from his chest. The weight on his palm made him He felt a little heavy in his heart. Originally, he didn't feel how slow time passed when he was alone, but now he felt that Yin Chaoren's movements were really slow, and he had waited for a long time...

Why does someone give him a jade bracelet, and he believes that the other party is very important to others?

The young man is not a person who will trust anyone casually, just like he did not let men leave at the beginning. There are very few people he believes in anywhere. He seems to be out of tune with this world, but he really exists. The contradiction is incomparable, but the source of the contradiction cannot be found. The root cause may be that he does not remember what happened before he was 14 years old.

The family who picked him up was surnamed Gu, and asked him his name. When he was a teenager, he was still lying on the hospital bed, holding a wooden stick and writing on the ground. The writing was messy. The couple with the surname Gu recognized a nine-character character, so they named him Wei Gujiu, such a strange name to the people of the Yin Dynasty, is common to the Turkic people.

Afterwards, the young man joined one of the tribes, from the smallest low position, step by step to the present, as if he was born for war, he is a little obsessed with fighting on the battlefield, and like every Turkic, he is obsessed with all the beautiful things in Yin Dynasty thing.

The former Khan was an old man with great talent but powerless. He taught the young people many things. The only thing he remembered deeply was the usual way of their Turkic people, that is, "whatever you want, just grab it." '

That's right, the old Khan is just a slightly more powerful tribe among the five tribes on the grassland. They not only compete for women and food from other countries, but also compete for land, sheep, and strong soldiers from each other. .

Young people are not used to this way at first, but the conditions on the grassland are especially harsh even in winter. If you don’t have enough food, you will starve to death. If you don’t have a warm yurt, you will freeze to death. There is nothing more motivating than death. , The young man gradually learned to live here, he didn't want to just live like this, and he didn't want to watch so many clansmen die in the heavy snow every year, so when an idea formed in the young man's heart, he didn't flinch.

It took him two years to merge the five Turkic branches, but in fact things were not as simple as imagined. Many people wished him to die, and there were also people who wished him to live a better life with the entire grassland. The polarization was not serious. But as long as he goes back injured, the situation will definitely not be good.

When he and Yin Chao, the man known as General Boqi, fell behind the army and fought, neither of them took advantage of each other. When he pierced the opponent's shoulder blade with a sword, that man almost destroyed his eyes...

That's why he was here waiting for his entourage to call the doctor. He needs to be still extremely strong when he returns to the grassland, so that everyone knows that their Khan will not be shaken by half.

Maybe his entourage will come after another hour and a half, but before that...

"I'm back." Suddenly, a faint voice sounded from the side.

The young man looked up, but without opening his eyes, he seemed to be able to see the man walking towards him slowly. He could even smell a strange fragrance from the man's body, and his tense muscles instantly relaxed.

He didn't speak, but he knew that the jade bracelet in his hand was about to be taken away by the other party, so he reflexively clenched it tightly, and put it back on his chest. He was not surprised to hear the man's questioning words, and said, "What's the matter?"

The young man was a little unnatural, he paused, and found a good excuse for his unreasonable behavior, he said: "You have to give me the medicine first, before I can pay you back."

Ning Jingyao's hand was still on the other's hand covering his chest. The two of them maintained their posture for a few seconds, but the man took a step back and said, "Okay, wait a minute."

"En." The young man replied, heard some small movements, and was about to ask what he was going to do, but found that the sun was hitting his face, and his closed eyes suddenly saw that the dark eyelids were brighter.

"I need a little light to clean it up for you, it may hurt a little, bear with it..."

As Ning Jingyao said this, he approached the young man. The young man clearly felt that the other party was very close to him, and the end of the words seemed to linger in his ears, with a feeling of inexplicability.

The man hooked the young man's chin, making him look up, and through the light penetrating through some vines he opened up, he could see the whole picture of the young man clearly.Ning Jingyao's movements were a bit stagnant, but she began to clean up the young man's wounds methodically with the obscene clothes that he had torn into small strips soaked in snow water.

Gu Jiu did not miss the momentary pause of the other party, he asked: "Why, the wound is serious?"

"No." Ning Jingyao said truthfully, "It looks scary, but it didn't hurt the eyes, but it will take a long time to recuperate."

"Then where were you looking just now?" The young man really wanted to ask what the man was thinking just now.

Ning Jingyao wiped off the blood on the young man's face, took out the water bag on his body, told the young man to open his eyes, and said, "You don't look like a Turkic person..."

There was no foreign body in the eyes, it was just a simple cleaning, but it made the young man feel better all of a sudden, the pain was not so bad, so he put all his energy into the conversation with Ning Jingyao, he said: "Then what do I look like?" Countryman?"

After pouring the water, Ning Jingyao did not answer the other party's question, but said seriously: "Okay, close your eyes, I will give you medicine." The wound on the corner of the eye was very scary, And when he went out, he only found a moon sleep grass, and he didn't know if it was enough.

According to common sense, you should use a clean utensil to crush the moon sleep grass, and apply its juice on the wound. Putting the sleeping herb in the young man's hand, he said, "Are you chewing it yourself and then I will apply it for you, or..."

"Help me, it's not convenient for me." The young man blurted out.

Ning Jingyao originally asked this question out of fear that the other party would mind, but now that he thinks about it, he was too worried, and the other party didn't care at all.

Moon sleep grass is tasteless, chewing it will give off a fresh fragrance. Ning Jingyao is inconvenient to use her hands, so she let go of it, raised the young man's face up a little bit, and put it in her mouth with her head down. Herbs are applied on...

It is inconvenient to apply medicine like this alone, so I used my tongue to spread the broken herbs evenly, and at some point, the young man wrapped his arms around the man's waist, and the two got along like an intimate kiss. , No one felt strange for a while.

The young man only felt a soft tongue slipping over his wound, but the wound that should feel tingling was completely ignored by the young man.After feeling that the other party's breath was far away from him, the young man realized that the dressing was over, and there were clean cloth strips wrapped around his eyes...

At this moment, Ning Jingyao realized that she was standing between the young man's legs, almost leaning on the other's body, her posture was too ambiguous, she hurriedly moved away, and the hand on her waist left naturally, Ning Jingyao unexpectedly Tie the strip of cloth into a bow on the young man's head, Ning Jingyao chuckled suddenly, but it was difficult to untie it again, but the awkward atmosphere was broken by the man's chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?"

Ning Jingyao restrained herself, her voice was extremely cold in the empty cave, and said, "It's nothing, I'll go out for a while..."

The young man held the man's hand with a small and cute bow, and said, "Where are you going?"

"My mouth is full of herbs, the water is gone, I need to clean it, otherwise it will be full of that taste, which is very uncomfortable."

"Then you come back earlier."

"……nature."

"You helped me. Come back to the grassland with me. I'll give you whatever you want. It's my reward."

Ning Jingyao's wrist was still being pulled, as if he had to finish speaking before letting him go, she said helplessly, "No need, you just need to exchange my things for me."

The young man let go of his hand and regained the powerful kingly aura when he first met him. He turned his head and stopped 'looking' at the man, and said vaguely: "Then you have to come back quickly."

Ning Jingyao rearranged the vines that he picked up so that no trace of light could penetrate, and then went out while saying: "Come back soon."

But the man's voice of "soon" made the young man wait for several hours, until his entourage called the doctor over early, and when it was dark, there was still no one's footsteps similar to that man's light footsteps. soft.

The followers around him are more anxious than him, and there are many things waiting for him to deal with. If he doesn't show up for a moment, many things will become more troublesome.

Because the barbarians were not completely unified.

The young man used to think that he could solve this problem slowly, and he didn't even care about it. He didn't pay too much attention to the things that would be solved by him sooner or later, but now he felt that these things were extremely annoying, and none of them made him feel relaxed.

When time really didn't allow him to wait any longer, he even realized that the person who applied the medicine to him was imagined by himself, or a certain goblin monster, and the cloth strips on his eyes and the jade bracelet on his chest were all the same. Remind him that this person really exists...

"Let's go." The entourage who had been waiting for a long time with their khan finally heard their king say, "I will find him."

At this time, the sky is slightly bright.
