Wen Fei didn't know what Chu Xi was thinking, so she could ride with him with peace of mind.

Due to some messy reasons, the third child went to Jiangzhou through the mountain road more than once, so he has a plan for everything on the road.For example, how fast to walk and where to stay at night, he has already made arrangements.It was just because Chu Xi made a mistake halfway and was delayed for nearly an hour to rest on the road, and then they had to speed up when they were on the road.

Fortunately, with Wen Fei's backrest, Chu Xi's bumpy riding situation was well relieved, and there were no mistakes on the road after that.But even so, when they rushed to the destination chosen by the third child, it was much later than expected.

In the twilight, a group of people came to a ruined temple in a deep mountain.

The third child got off the horse first, and while leading the horse, he said to Wen Fei, "This temple is a mountain temple. There used to be a small village under this mountain. People in the village believed in the mountain god, so they built it." This temple is enshrined. It is said that the incense of this mountain temple was also at its peak at that time, but later the village at the foot of the mountain suffered disasters, and this mountain temple lost its offerings and gradually declined."

Wen Fei and Chu Xi also got off their horses one after another, and while listening to what the third child said, they followed him into the mountain temple. The words of the third child were obviously not false, because this mountain temple in the deep mountains and old forests is still It was built with good bluestone slabs.The weather-beaten exterior looks dilapidated, but inside the temple, it looks complete. If it weren't for the pious builders, how could they be willing to spend so much money?

Seeing the two looking at the ruined temple, the third child laughed again: "Although the mountain temple is dilapidated now, it is convenient for passers-by like us. Those who come and go a lot like me have to offer incense to the mountain god. "

As he said that, he actually took out three sticks of incense from his luggage and lit them, respectfully worshiped them three times, and then offered them to the dilapidated statue.

Wen Fei didn't believe in strange powers and gods in the past, but such an encounter with Chuanshu made her scientific world view shaky, so she kept a respectful and distant attitude towards ghosts and gods.Neither pious, nor disrespectful before God.

Chu Xi's attitude was about the same as Wen Fei's, and the two just silently watched the youngest offering incense and offering sacrifices.Fortunately, he just worshiped like this, and didn't do more after that. Instead, he turned around to look at the sky, and finally returned to the topic: "We will stay here tonight. It's just that although there are temples to cover our heads, the mountain But there are so many snakes, insects and beasts, you have to be alert at night, and you have to make a fire."

Hearing what he said, Wen Fei and Chu Xi looked at each other, and they both remembered the experience of the night before - it is certain that this mountain is not safe, after all, there are wolves.Fortunately, compared to the unreliable Li Ling, the youngest vigil must be much more reliable.

Wen Fei nodded immediately, and said to the third child: "You are right, how about you and I take turns keeping vigil tonight?"

When the third child heard the words, his originally serious face immediately softened.He was a guide, a paid guide, and both Wen Fei and Chu Xi looked like they were not able to endure hardship, so he thought that these two people would let him watch the night alone.Fortunately, the other party didn't get dizzy, and he took the initiative to ask for a turn to watch the night, which really made him breathe a sigh of relief.

The two immediately discussed about the night watch, and agreed that Wen Fei would take it easy and watch for the rest of the night, and the third child took the initiative to go out to collect firewood again.He took the money and took good care of the two of them, thinking that he had taken on the heaviest job, but he didn't know that Wen Fei, who was left behind by him to light the fire, had a troubled face while holding the flint.

She was careless. When buying what she needed yesterday, she forgot to buy a new booklet!

Fortunately, Chu Xi was considerate enough, Jian Wenfei was in trouble with the flint again, so he took over the job of lighting the fire again.

This is the second time she has troubled the other party, and Wen Fei is a little embarrassed, especially now that she has nothing else to do.So she thought about it, and squatted beside Chu Xi to watch her light the fire, planning to learn some tricks to steal the teacher.

Chu Xi didn't say anything. After preparing the velvet grass to start the fire, he began to rub the flint to make a fire.

There are naturally skills in lighting a fire with a flint and steel. For example, although Chu Xi didn't make a fire much, he still has a certain degree of mastery of these basic skills.It's a pity that Wen Fei watched from the sidelines for a long time, but didn't learn any skills, because her eyes were already attracted by the pair of catkins holding the flint - in the sparks that flashed from time to time, those hands were as white as jade, slender and soft.

Wen Fei is not controlled by hand, but people are always appreciative of beautiful things.For example, Wen Fei would fall in love with Chu Xi's beauty "superficially", but now she is still attracted by her beautiful hands.

Chu Xi seemed unaware of this, and focused on lighting the fire.Accompanied by the sound of "popping" on the flint, a little spark fell on the velvet grass, and then gradually ignited the velvet grass, developing from a little spark to a cluster of flames.

"Pass me some more velvet grass." Chu Xi said suddenly.

Wen Fei came back to his senses, quickly responded, and handed over more velvet grass to ignite the fire for Chu Xi.Then the cluster of flames grew bigger and burned more and more vigorously, dispelling the darkness after sunset little by little, and also illuminating Chu Xijiao's beautiful profile.

Looking at the beautiful face illuminated by the firelight, Wen Fei lost his mind again.It wasn't until the third child came back with the firewood in his arms that she withdrew her gaze from Chu Xi's face, and the familiar sense of loss also surfaced in her heart again.

It's just that Wen Fei, who was caught in her own thoughts, didn't know that at the moment she looked away, Chu Xi also looked back.

That look, thoughtful.

****************************************************************************

Traveling is very tiring, especially when they had a difficult time before.

After lighting the fire, he roasted some dry food to eat, and after filling his stomach, he felt tired.Wen Fei still had to watch the night, so there was nothing to say, and the third child immediately went to sleep as soon as he was waiting for the shift, leaving Chu Xi a little sleepy, and felt that he couldn't sleep well after eating.So she decided to cheer up and accompany Wen Fei, and when the time was later, she would be able to sleep peacefully until dawn.

It was just getting dark at this time, Wen Fei was naturally not in a hurry to persuade Chu Xi to rest, but instead took out a piece of cake, baked it and handed it to Chu Xi.Chu Xi took the hot pastry and blinked, then heard Fei say, "Eat more."

Chu Xi has suffered a lot these days, and she has lost weight visibly to the naked eye. People can't help but want to feed them when they see her.

Chu Xi was already full, but she didn't refuse Wen Fei's kindness.She gladly took the pastry and ate it one bite at a time. A piece of pastry lasted for fifteen minutes, which was more like killing time than eating.

As the night deepened little by little, the two guarding the fire were bored.Wen Fei glanced at the third child who was already asleep, and finally opened his mouth to find a topic: "We will be able to arrive in Jiangzhou in two days, and I will probably stay in Jiangzhou for a while, so I might bother you. Chu Girl, you have an older brother who works as a driver in Jiangzhou, who is it? How is your temperament? Could you tell me about it?"

The purpose of Wen Fei's trip to the south was not originally Jiangzhou. In order to avoid Chu Xi, she didn't even plan to stay in Jiangzhou.But from time to time, not to mention the subtle feelings she had for Chu Xi after getting along with her these days, even with the situation where her bodyguards are scattered, she has to stay in Jiangzhou, and then wait for the surviving bodyguards to arrive confluence.

There is also the problem of flooding.Now she is alone and has to take Chu Xi around, and when she can't take care of herself, she naturally ignores the flood outside.But when she arrived in Jiangzhou, how could she turn a blind eye to this disaster in her capacity?

What's more, even if she is willing to turn a blind eye, those people in the Jiangnan officialdom will not rest assured that she is a close minister of the emperor!

Wen Fei thought a lot these two days, and with Chu Xi's intelligence, he naturally thought of these too.She is from the Chu family, and the Chu family's ancestral home is in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many members of the family who are officials in the south of the Yangtze River.However, regardless of the distant branches, at least the direct branches have the vision and bearing of aristocratic families. Even if they want to collect money, it is absolutely impossible to collect money from such important livelihood matters as building dams.

Chu Xi was not at all worried that her second brother would have anything to do with the flood, even if it did, it would definitely be implicated.So in the face of Wen Fei's inquiry, she didn't hesitate, and directly recommended her second brother to him.

The two were talking softly, the voice was not high, and the "crack" sound of the flame burning wood was clearly audible.

Suddenly, Wen Fei raised his hand to stop Chu Xi's words, and the latter immediately stopped talking tacitly, and then looked at Wen Fei with a questioning look - no way, they have experienced too many accidents and dangers these days, when Chu Xi saw Wen Fei This action raised my heart.

Wen Fei tilted his head slightly to listen for a moment, and frowned slightly: "Someone is coming. There are quite a few of them, riding horses and carrying weapons." She heard the sound of horses' hoofs, and also heard the clash of swords and swords when the horse was jolting. It was all very familiar to her.

Chu Xi has been really unlucky recently, and when he heard this, he didn't think well: "Could it be a bandit?!"

Wen Fei was silent, and wanted to say that in the middle of the night, it was still in the deep mountains and old forests, which bandit would come to a ruined temple to rob in such a free time?And the third child never mentioned that there were bandits here before, and when he fell asleep, he only reminded them to be careful of snakes, insects and wild animals.But she changed her mind and thought about Chu Xi's "Heroine Halo", and suddenly she was not so sure, and even believed Chu Xi's guess a little bit.

Xu Shi saw that her complexion was changing, Chu Xi felt even more empty, and asked in a low voice: "Shall we hide for a while? But I'm afraid we can't hide with a burning fire, or we should call the guide first."

The flames were so obvious in the dark night, since the outsiders came towards the ruined temple, they must have seen it.

Wen Fei took hold of his newly bought knife, got up and called the third child, and told Chu Xi first: "No matter who comes, I and the guide will deal with it. You go to hide behind the statue first, and I will give it to you when you get it." Your dagger."

Chu Xi is very self-aware, knowing that if she encounters a gangster and shows up by herself, it will be a drag.So she didn't say anything to refute, just took a deep look at Wen Fei and said "be careful", and then hid with a dagger.

Seeing that she was hiding well, Wen Fei walked up to the third child lightly and pushed him awake.

When he was away from home, the third child slept very vigilantly. Not only did he wake up when he was pushed, but he didn't make a sound when he woke up. He only asked Wen Fei with his eyes.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Wen Fei lowered his voice and said to the third child: "Someone is coming outside."

When the third child heard this, his tense body immediately relaxed. Jian Wenfei was nervous and comforted him: "It's okay, although this mountain road is difficult to walk, but now the official road is flooded, there are always people passing by. Most of them are with us." The same, also come to stay."

After listening to the third child's judgment, Wen Fei relaxed a little, but thinking that everyone who came here was wearing a sword, it made people not completely at ease.So she thought for a while, and then asked: "Then I don't know, are there any gangsters like bandits gathering around here?"

Seeing that she was so vigilant, the third child didn't make fun of her or feel annoyed, but felt that this was the attitude she should have when going out.But he still shook his head and said to Wen Fei: "Guest officer, don't worry, the road from Shuangxi Town to Jiangzhou is very clean. There are no bandits. If there were bandits, I wouldn't dare to take the two of you on the road like this." .”

Seeing that he was so sure, Wen Fei felt relieved, and immediately turned her eyes to the gate, maintaining her last vigilance—there were no bandits nearby, and the only variable now was Chu Xi's bad luck. ?

The author has something to say: Wen Fei (difficult to say): Ms. Chu's luck really makes people hopeless.

Chu Xi (tired): Although I feel disgusted, I can't refute it.
