Wen Fei didn't know what Chu Xi was thinking, so she was able to ride with the other party comfortably.

For some messy reasons, the third child had traveled across the mountain road to Jiangzhou more than once, so he had a good idea of ​​everything on the road. For example, he has already made arrangements for how fast he goes and where he will settle at night. It was just because Chu Xi made a mistake halfway, and was delayed for nearly an hour on the road, and then they had to speed up when they were on the way.

Fortunately, with Wen Fei's backrest, Chu Xi's riding turbulence has been well alleviated, and there have been no mistakes on the road since then. But that's the case, when they hurried to the place chosen by the third child, it was much later than expected.

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

The third child took the lead to dismount, and while leading the horse to walk in, he said to Wen Fei: "This temple is a mountain temple. There used to be a small village under this mountain. The people in the village believed in mountain gods, so they built it. This temple is enshrined. I heard that the incense of the mountain temple was also flourishing at that time, but then the village under the mountain suffered, and the mountain temple was no longer enshrined and gradually declined."

Wen Fei and Chu Xi also got off their horses one after another, and while listening to the third child’s words, they followed him into the mountain temple—the third child’s words were obviously not a lie, because it was such a mountain temple in the old forest. Built with good bluestone slabs. The appearance of the wind and rain is ragged, but it looks complete when it enters the temple. If the temple builders were not pious, how would they be willing to spend so much?

Seeing the two of them looking at the ruined temple, the youngest smiled again: "Although the mountain temple is now dilapidated, it is convenient for passers-by like us. People who come and go so much like me have to give the mountain gods incense. "

As he said, he actually drew three incense sticks from his bag, respectfully worshipped for three times and then enshrined it in front of the dilapidated idol.

Wen Fei didn't believe in strange powers before, but the occasion of wearing books made her scientific worldview shaky, so she maintained a respectful attitude toward ghosts and gods. Neither piety and honesty, nor rude to God.

Chu Xi's attitude was about the same as Wen Fei's, and the two of them just watched the youngest son offer incense and worship. Fortunately, he only worshipped like this, and did not do more after that. Instead, he turned around and looked at the sky, and finally returned to the topic: "Let’s stay here tonight. It’s just that although there are temples covering our heads, this mountain But there are many snakes, insects, and beasts. You have to be vigilant at night, and you have to make a fire."

Hearing what he said, Wen Fei and Chu Xi looked at each other, and both remembered the experience of the night before—the insecurity in this mountain is certain, after all, there are wolves. Fortunately, compared to the unreliable Li Ling, the third vigil must be much more reliable.

Wen Fei nodded immediately and said to the third child: "You are right, then can you and I take turns to watch the night tonight?"

When the third child heard the words, his original serious face suddenly eased. He is a guide, a guide who has collected the money, plus Wen Fei and Chu Xi both looked expensive and not as hard-working. He thought they would let him watch the night alone. Fortunately, the other party didn't faint, and asked to take turns to watch the night, which really made him breathe a sigh of relief.

The two immediately discussed the vigil, and agreed that after Wen Fei relaxed and watched the middle of the night, the third child took the initiative to go out to collect firewood. He took care of the two of them very much after receiving the money, thinking that he had taken the heaviest job, but he didn't know that Wen Fei, who was left by him to make a fire, was entangled with the flint and steel.

She was careless, and when she bought what she needed yesterday, she forgot to buy a new fire book!

Fortunately, Chu Xi was considerate enough. Seeing that Wen Fei was holding a flint to commit a crime again, he took the job of making a fire again.

This is the second time I have troubled the other party, Wen Fei is a little embarrassed, especially now that she has nothing else to do. So she thought for a while and squatted beside Chu Xi to watch her make a fire, planning to learn some tricks secretly.

Chu Xi didn't say anything. After preparing the fluffy grass to start the fire, she started rubbing the flint to make a fire.

Naturally, there are skills in using flint and steel to make fires. For example, although Chu Xi doesn't use many hands to make fires, she has more or less mastery of these basic skills. It's a pity that Wen Fei has been watching for a long time, and she hasn't learned any skills, because her eyes have been attracted by the catkins holding the flint and steel - in the sparks that flashed from time to time, her hands were as white as jade, slender and soft.

Wen Fei is not controlled by hand, but people always appreciate beautiful things. For example, Wen Fei would "superficially" like Chu Xi's beauty, and now he is still attracted by her beautiful hands.

Chu Xi seemed to be totally ignorant of this, so she buried her head and concentrated on making a fire. Accompanied by the sound of "pap" hitting the flint, a little spark fell on the fluffy grass, and then gradually ignited the fluffy grass, which developed from a little spark into a cluster of flames.

"Give me some more fluffy grass." Chu Xi suddenly said.

Wen Fei suddenly returned to his senses, and quickly responded, and handed over more fluffy grass to Chu Xi to start the fire. Then the flame grew bigger and bigger, burning more and more vigorously, a little bit to disperse the darkness after sunset, and also illuminate Chu Xi's beautiful side face.

Seeing the beautiful face illuminated by the fire, Wen Fei was lost again. It wasn't until the third child returned with the firewood that she took back the gaze that fell on Chu Xi's face, and the familiar stunnedness once again appeared in her heart.

Wen Fei, who was caught in her own thoughts, didn't know. At the moment when she retracted her gaze, Chu Xi also looked back.

That look was thoughtful.

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

Hurrying is very tiring, especially for some time before they had a hard time.

After making the fire, I roasted some dry food to eat, and when I filled my stomach, I felt tired. Wen Fei had to watch the night, naturally, there was nothing to say. The third child waited for the shift and immediately rushed to sleep, leaving Chu Xi a little sleepy, and felt that she couldn't sleep right after eating. So she decided to cheer up and accompany Wen Fei. When the time was later, she could feel at ease until dawn.

At this time, it was just getting dark, Wen Fei was not in a hurry to persuade Chu Xi to rest, instead he took out a piece of cake and bake it and handed it to Chu Xi. Chu Xi took the hot pastry and blinked, and then heard Fei say: "You eat more."

These days, Chu Xi has suffered a lot, and he has become thinner visible to the naked eye, making people want to feed after seeing it.

In fact, Chu Xi was already full, but faced with Wen Fei's kindness, she did not refuse. She happily took the cake and ate it without a bite. A piece of cake can be eaten for a quarter of an hour, which is more like killing time than eating.

The night darkened a little bit, and the two guarding the fire were bored. Wen Fei glanced at the third child who was already asleep, and finally started to find a topic: "We will be able to reach Jiangzhou in two days. I will probably stay in Jiangzhou for some time, so I can't even bother. Chu. Girl, you have an older brother who works as a driver in Jiangzhou. I don’t know who it is? What is his temperament? Maybe tell me?"

Wen Fei's purpose of going south was not Jiangzhou. In order to avoid Chu Xi, she didn't even plan to stay in Jiangzhou any more. But now and then, not to mention the delicate feelings she has for Chu Xi after these days of getting along, is the situation where the guards are scattered now, she also has to stay in Jiangzhou, and then wait for the surviving guards to arrive. Converge.

In addition, there is also the problem of floods. Now she was alone and still had to take Chu Xi to run around. With no time to take care of herself, she was naturally indifferent to the floods outside. But after 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 Jiangnan officialdom will not be assured that she is the emperor's close minister!

Wen Fei thought a lot in the past two days, and with Chu Xi's intelligence, naturally he also thought of this. She belongs to the Chu family, whose ancestry is from Jiangnan, and there are many clansmen who are officials in Jiangnan. However, regardless of the far-flung side branch, at least the direct branch has the vision of the family.

Chu Xi didn't worry at all that her second brother would have anything to do with the flood, even if it did, it would definitely be implicated. So facing Wen Fei's inquiry, she did not hesitate, and directly recommended her second brother to the other party.

The two talked softly, their voices were not high, and the "crack" of the flame burning wood was clearly audible.

Suddenly, Wen Fei raised his hand to stop Chu Xi's words. The latter immediately stopped speaking tacitly, and then looked at Wen Fei with questioning eyes-no way, they had experienced too many accidents and dangers these days, and Chu Xi saw Wen Fei. The heart of this action was raised.

Wen Fei tilted her head to listen for a moment, and frowned: "Someone is coming. There are a lot of people, riding horses, and armed with weapons." She heard the hooves of horses and the collision of swords when riding a horse. They are all very familiar to her.

Chu Xi has been really unlucky lately. When she heard this, she didn't think for the better: "Could it be a mountain bandit?!"

Wen Fei was silent, wanting 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 and robbery when he was so idle? And the youngest had never mentioned that there were bandits here before, and only reminded them to be careful of snakes, insects and beasts when they fell asleep. But she turned to think about Chu Xi's "Aura of Heroine", and suddenly she was not so sure, and even a little bit believed Chu Xi's guess.

When Xu saw her face changing, Chu Xi felt more guilty, and asked in a low voice, "Shall we hide? But I'm afraid I can't hide from a fire, otherwise we should call the guide first."

The flames in the dark night are so obvious, since people outside are coming towards the ruined temple, they must have seen it.

Wen Fei took the newly bought knife and got up to call the third child before telling Chu Xi: "For a while, no matter who is here, I will have my guide and me to deal with. You go to hide behind the idol and take it to me. Your dagger."

Chu Xi is very self-aware, knowing that if he encounters a gangster, he will be dragged down. So she didn't say anything to refute, she only looked at Wen Fei deeply and said "careful", then hid with the dagger.

Wen Fei saw that she was hiding, so he walked gently to the third child and pushed him to wake up.

While away from home, the youngest slept very vigilantly. Not only did he wake up with a push, but he didn't make a sound when he woke up. He only asked Wen Fei with his eyes.

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

When the third child heard this, his tight body immediately relaxed. Seeing that Wenfei was nervous, he calmed down and said: "It's okay. Although this mountain road is difficult to walk, but now the official road is flooded, people always pass by. Mostly follow us. It's the same, it's also a place to stay."

Wen Fei listened to the youngest's judgment and relaxed a little bit, but the thought that everyone came with swords in his hands made people feel uncomfortable in the end. So she thought for a while, and then asked: "Then I don't know, are there any bandits and other gangsters gathered around here?"

Seeing that she was so alert, the youngest didn't make fun of or annoyed her, 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 are bandits, I would not dare to take the two of you on the road like this. ."

Wen Fei was relieved to see that he was sure. She immediately cast her gaze to the door, keeping her last vigilance-there are no bandits nearby, and the only variable now is probably Chu Xi's unlucky luck. ?

The author has something to say: Wen Fei (it is hard to say in one word): Miss Chu's luck is really disappointing.

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