Rebirth of Tao Yao

At sunset, the setting sun was like blood, and the people who had been running around in Xishan all day finally stopped temporarily.

Yan Li chose a slightly flat open space to rest for a while. In fact, he didn't really want to stay on the west mountain.A long night and many dreams, he is afraid that there will be another change in the border town.Second, it is not a wise choice to spend the night in the mountains, because there are always more wild animals in the mountains than in the mountains.

It's a pity that ordinary people are always tired and hungry, so facing the sunset in the evening, some people went hunting, some picked, and some were lighting a fire... Everyone worked together to plan to have a meal first, and then talk about other things after sacrificing to the Temple of the Five Viscera.

After some tossing, the fresh pheasant and hare were finally put on the fire and roasted before the sky completely darkened.

Barbecue always takes time, so after the already hungry people sat down around the fire, they first took wild fruits to eat.The wild fruits picked this time are familiar to everyone. The bright red fruit looks very beautiful, and it is crisp and juicy when bitten, but it is a pity that it is bland.Ordinary teenagers don't like to eat this, but this fruit is the most in the mountain, and it is also good for quenching thirst, so they picked a lot.

Naturally, Rou Jia had never eaten this kind of wild fruit, but she liked it a little when she saw the beauty, but it was a pity that she found it tasteless after eating it.The little princess has been pampered since she was a child, and all the food is the best. Even if she is hungry at the moment, she can't eat for a while.

Under the darkness of night, in the mountains and forests, the flames danced and flickered, illuminating everyone's expressions.

The maid has been paying attention to Rou Jia's expression, or she has always paid attention to Rou Jia, at this moment Rou Jia's brows and eyes slightly frowned because of displeasure naturally did not escape her eyes.If it was normal, she would definitely try her best to please the little princess, but unfortunately there is nothing here, even the little princess is still hungry, but the food in front of her is only bland fruits, and the barbecue is destined to be tasteless because there is no salt.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Even if the maid has the heart, she can't concoct delicious food to feed the little princess at this moment.Her eyes stayed on the bright red wild fruit for a moment, she thought about picking and picking a few, and then cut a piece into her mouth with a pocket knife, and finally chose one that was slightly sweeter among the several fruits. of.

The maid's status is low, and she usually does not speak, so everyone's attention has never been on her.Only Yan Li, who happened to be sitting opposite her, happened to see her picking fruit.

To be honest, this wild fruit is really not very delicious, and Yan Li also dislikes it when he eats it.However, after seeing the maid's actions, his eyes lit up, and he subconsciously wanted to pick something with a better taste, not because he wanted to eat it himself, but because he wanted to choose one for Wen Ziran—Sister Wen always gave it to him He ate the fragrant and sweet pastry, but when it was his turn to give it back, there were only some bland wild fruits.what can he doHe could barely choose a better one among these wild fruits.

Picking and picking, he also took out his dagger and sliced ​​it to taste. The little general finally chose two wild fruits with better taste, and planned to give them to the girl beside him.Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she saw the shadow of a knife flying in the hand of the maid opposite, and in a moment, she carved the plain wild fruit in her hand into the shape of a bunny, and then handed it to Rou Jia as if offering a treasure...

The little princess has seen this trick with maids a lot.She likes to eat peaches, other maids can only peel and cut into pieces, and only this person in front of her can carve already beautiful peaches into something more beautiful.Sometimes it was a flower, sometimes it was a bird, and in her hands the peach would turn into all sorts of little things, and they all came alive.Not to mention that carved peaches are not easy to eat, they are always pleasing to the eye.

At this moment, everyone's situation is not good, and the food they eat is not delicious.But the little princess held the wild fruit that she had only bitten into in her hand, and looked at the "rabbit" that the maid painstakingly carves, and felt a sense of joy in bitterness, and couldn't help but bend the corners of her lips.

She took the "rabbit" handed over by the maid, held it in her hand and looked at it carefully for a moment, then hesitated, and took a bite of it lightly.The crisp taste, the rich juice with a touch of sweetness, is far from a good taste, but the smile on the face of the little princess deepened by two points.She looked at the maid, and whispered softly, "Sweet."

A very soft sound, with sincere joy, came to Yan Li's ears along with the night wind.

The little general looked at the two wild fruits that he had just selected in his hand, and for some reason, he imitated the maid and picked up the dagger to carve them.It's a pity that the result is obvious, practiced and not practiced are two different things, even if the little general is nimble and skillful in swordsmanship, it is obviously not the same thing when it is used for fruit carving.As a result, the two wild fruits, which were in good condition, were completely changed in the blink of an eye.

Yan Li raised his head annoyedly, and glanced across the fire to the other side.I don't know if it was his delusion, his eyes met the maid opposite for a moment, and the other seemed to raise his eyebrows slightly at him... But when he looked again, he found that the maid opposite had already looked away, Lowering his head, he picked the fruit again.

Withdrawing his gaze, Yan Li was still a little puzzled, but before he could continue to distract himself, his arm was lightly touched.

Yan Li turned his head and saw the red wild fruit held in Wen Ziran's white palm, and immediately heard the girl beside him say with concern: "Brother, you haven't eaten anything all day today, let's eat a fruit pad first." Pad your stomach."

Girls are born beautiful, although they are still young, they have already seen their beauty.She spoke in a soft voice, although her eyes were dim and lacking in spirit, she seemed to have a natural smile, people who didn't say anything laughed first, if you pay attention when you speak, you can see a small dimple on her cheek... There are so many people and good looks, facing such a girl, there are few people who don't like it, Yan Li is especially easy to soften his heart.

He reached out and took the wild fruit handed by the little girl, put it to his mouth and took a bite.I don't know if Wen Ziran has chosen it before, or if she is so lucky, the entrance of this wild fruit is actually sweet.

Yan Li couldn't help softening his brows and eyes, and his tone of voice was much gentler than usual: "Well, it's quite sweet."

Wen Ziran smiled happily when she heard the words, as if Yan Li's words must be a compliment.Yan Li, however, looked down at the two carved wild fruits in his hands, thought for a while and passed them over cruelly: "Zi Ran, you should eat some, too. There is no water source nearby, and we have to rely on wild fruits to quench our thirst. A fruit should, should be okay."

The two fruits that were carved beyond recognition were naturally given away, and it was fortunate that Wen Ziran could not see them, otherwise Yan Li would have been embarrassed to give them away.However, Wen Ziran took the obviously peeled wild fruit, and asked suspiciously: "Brother, this fruit..."

Yan Li's guilty eyes fluttered, and he said calmly: "Oh, I think the skin of this fruit is not tasty, so I peeled it off."

Wen Ziran didn't doubt that there was him, so he took an ugly wild fruit and started to eat slowly - both fruits were sweet, obviously carefully selected by others, the little girl because of the rare meticulous care of the people around her Happy.

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

After eating a tasteless dinner and resting for a while, everyone walked the mountain road for an hour or two in the dark.This time, it wasn't all about traveling, but because the smell of barbecue might attract wild animals at night.The people who had been tossing for a day were already exhausted, and they really didn't want to spend too much time guarding against the beast, so they simply walked away to avoid it.

The detour had gone for more than half of the way, and it was almost at the climax of the moon that the group found a shelter from the wind again.Then a bonfire was raised, and people were arranged to watch the night in turn. The exhausted people quickly found places to rest.

The guard took off his outer shirt and spread it on the floor, Roujia had no choice but to lie down on it, closed his eyes and complained to the maid: "Today I sweated all over, and I went to bed without washing, I'm about to stink!"

However, after the words fell, the little princess could not wait for the maid to react or respond, and fell into a deep sleep as soon as she closed her eyes-in the past ten years, this was probably the most exhausting day the little princess had ever experienced, so that even a moment I can't maintain my sobriety.

Roujia was not the only one who was exhausted, there was nothing to do with sleeping in the wilderness, and everyone who didn't have to keep vigil soon fell into a deep sleep.

Wen Ziran slept next to Roujia, and on the other side sat cross-legged Yan Li who was the first to start the vigil.Naturally, she did not have the considerate care of the guards and maids, but the little general was also very considerate and stood by her side, and helped her block the still cold night wind in the summer night mountains.

The tongue of fire licked the dead branches, the bonfire crackled and burned, and time passed unconsciously.

The night in the mountains is silent. Yan Li leans against a big tree and sits cross-legged. From time to time, he picks up a piece of dead branch and throws it into the fire, so as not to burn out the bonfire without knowing it. ——Vigil In fact, it is quite boring, especially when the body is very tired, watching the fire light beating is like hypnosis, making people's eyelids become heavy without knowing it.

Unconsciously, his head lowered a little, and Yan Li, who had almost fallen asleep, woke up immediately.He looked around vigilantly, and he was slightly relieved when he didn't see anything unusual, but he didn't dare to sit quietly anymore, stood up and walked around a few times before barely regaining his energy.

It was already late at night, and there was a circle of people lying around the campfire, but only Yan Li was still awake.

At some point, Wen Ziran's steady breathing began to become short, her delicate brows were furrowed, and her delicate face was full of struggles, as if she had fallen into a nightmare.

Yan Li, who had already got up and walked around, didn't notice until the small whispers sounded in the quiet environment.When Yan Li noticed the difference and returned to Wen Ziran, the little girl woke up in a cold sweat, shouting "Brother" and "Mother" at other times.

Yan Li hurriedly picked him up to comfort him, he thought that Wen Ziran was shocked by what happened during the day, after all, no matter how calm he was, there were indeed more than [-] barbarians who died in front of Wen Ziran today.She couldn't see it, but she could always smell the smell of blood, and it was natural to be frightened, but her composure during the day was more like a strong support.

Wen Ziran's originally dull gaze seemed to become more and more dull at this moment, she just subconsciously grabbed a corner of Yan Li's clothes and held it tightly in her hands.Then, under the constant patient comfort of the young man, he gradually calmed down.

After a while, Wen Ziran said in a crying tone: "Brother, I dreamed that the city was broken, and something happened to my mother..."
