Seeing her smooth face stained with mud, I couldn't wait to get some water.

At night, Fu Xie followed the sound of water to the gurgling stream and found that not to mention the cloth, there was not even a utensil to hold water.

Just dive into the stream and run back soaked.

Gently wipe the mud on Duanmuci's face with her wet sleeves. Why was there mud on her face? It must have been because she fell down many times because she was weak when she came back.

It's okay, I was struck by lightning!

She was struck by lightning and she spoke so calmly. Xie Fu suddenly felt very sorry for her. The man's desire for protection made him want to protect her.

With wiping, Duanmuci's face was so white, and her eyebrows were very long and thin. The combination of the thin eyebrows created a cold beauty, but it gave people a sharpness as sharp as a knife. It turned out that Master Duanmuci was not

When his eyebrows are gentle, he feels so cold.

Except for her long eyelashes, her closed eyelids could not see her gentle eyes.

A little cinnabar between the eyebrows exuded a cool and unearthly temperament, making Xie Fu involuntarily feel like he was looking up at a high mountain.

But she is really beautiful. Her porcelain white and traceless skin makes people want to reach out and touch her with their fingers. Her pursed lips are like a red temptation that penetrates into the heart, making people want to kiss her.

The young man's blood boiled so much that Xie Fu could not restrain himself and gently lowered his head, wanting to kiss her secretly.

When Duanmu Ci's weak breath fell on Xie Fu's face, he woke up from his confusion and turned his head.

Just one face made him unable to control himself, and Xie Fu didn't dare to look anywhere else.

He murmured to himself: "Master Duanmuci, don't blame me for having the idea of ​​offending you. You are so beautiful. I don't think any man will be tempted when he sees your face. I can't help it.

If I don’t do it, that’s..."

While Fu Xie was talking, the image of Master Duanmu Ci's meek features and gentle temperament appeared in his mind for the past day, as gentle as her long hair that hung down to her waist and hips.

Although it only lasts for one day, sometimes it becomes a profound impression that will last a lifetime.

The night passed silently, with Xie Fu watching over him, but his heart was like the moonlight shining on the treetops, swaying and beating with the breeze, like the passage of time and being tireless.

I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly felt hungry and suddenly turned my head to look at the muddy and torn Taoist robe.

She said she was looking for meat. Could it be that she went to some dangerous place and was struck by lightning?

I secretly said in my heart, Master Duanmuci, I am willing to be your apprentice and listen to your words.

In the silence, as soon as the ray of dawn shone into the cave, Xie Fu couldn't wait to walk out of the cave to look for something to eat.

At first, he flew through the mountains and forests trying to find birds and animals, and crossed streams to try to catch a fish in the river. However, this place was full of trees and could not find anything alive at all.

There's really no meat at all.

Xie Fu retreated to the next best thing and began to look for things to eat, wild fruits and vegetables, anything.

He was running all over the mountain, almost unable to find anything and not planning to go back. Suddenly, bursts of thunder in front of him attracted his attention.

Master Xie followed the sound and walked away. Standing on a high place, he looked at the horrifying sight of thunder and lightning in front of him, which was as dense as the Milky Way and rain, but he was shocked in his heart. Master Duanmu Ci must not be walking forward in search of meat.

Xie Fu tried to get closer, but the frightening thunder and lightning flashed down, and his silver eyes could not be opened, but he instinctively felt scared and timid.

Xie Fu tried several times in succession, but all failed. Reason told him that this was impossible and that this would simply lead to death.

The more this happens, the more I feel that Master Duanmuci is so great and amazing that people look up to and admire him.

Perhaps he had been away for too long, so Xie Fu was a little worried and planned to go back first.

While walking through the forest, I suddenly caught a glimpse of green hair hidden in the dense forest leaves.

Xie Fu got closer and saw clearly that it was a wild fruit. He was so happy that he picked the wild fruit as if he had found a treasure.

Holding the wild fruit in my hand, it just feels heavy. I never knew that a wild fruit could be so precious.

Thinking about the yellow and green ones that Master Duanmuci brought out yesterday, Master Duanmuci must have been searching for them for a long time. He was reluctant to eat them, but he ate them all in one go and was even disliked by her.

Xie Fu returned to the cave, but Duanmu Ci was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, his celestial posture as cold as last night, exuding an unearthly atmosphere.

Duanmuci opened his eyes.

Xie Fu saw her eyes filled with clear water like a stream, and then he felt a sense of human emotion from her.

"Master Duanmuci, are you okay? I was worried about you last night, but I didn't know what to do."

Duanmuci smiled: "I'm fine, you did a good job."

Fu Xie suddenly thought of something and quickly took out the wild fruit hidden in his clothes, "Master Duanmuci, look."

Duanmuci smiled softly, lowered his eyes slightly and continued to adjust his breathing. His lips moved slightly: "After eating, go and practice. I will rest for a while and then go find something to eat for you in the afternoon."

Xie Fu handed over the wild fruit.

Duanmu Ci's lowered eyes were slightly surprised. Looking at the enthusiastic face in front of him, his heart warmed, but he said calmly: "You can eat it."

Xie Fu got angry and said loudly: "I found this specially for you, but you don't appreciate it at all. I think you don't regard me as your apprentice at all. If you don't regard me as your apprentice in your heart, then I will

I might as well stop being your apprentice."

After Xie Fu finished speaking, he felt a little worried. When Duanmuci saw his childish look, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Of course I regard you as my disciple in my heart."

Xie Fu said happily: "In that case, just take it."

The wild fruit was held in front of her with both hands, but Duanmuci was dignified and self-possessed, not even moving his body.

"Do you want to eat or not?"

"eat."

Duanmuci's voice seemed to be coaxing him in return. She raised her hand to take the wild fruit. Looking at the emerald green peel, it was so green that her heart felt like it was like spring flowers blooming.

Xie Fu said: "I have washed it."

Duanmuci looked at him with expectant eyes, and as if to satisfy him, she opened her red lips slightly and took a bite with her white teeth. The particularly sweet juice soaked her mouth and moisturized her lips and corners at the same time.

Xie Fu looked at her eating in small bites as if admiring a crane drinking water. She ate very gracefully and slowly, as if she could eat this wild fruit for the rest of her life.

In the silence, the sound of chewing teeth could be heard softly, and the atmosphere felt inexplicably mutual.

The sound of cooing came at the wrong time. Duanmu Ci looked up at Fu Xie upon hearing the sound, his eyes filled with warmth.

Xie Fu smiled awkwardly.

Duanmuci waved: "Come here."

Xie Fu approached: "What are you doing?"

Duanmuci took one of Xie Fu's hands, handed the remaining half of the wild fruit to Xie Fu, and said calmly: "Don't starve."

After Xie Fu stared blankly at the wild fruit that left tiny tooth marks, he looked at Duanmuci in astonishment. He saw that she had closed her eyes and was speechless. Only her lips, which had been moistened by the juice and became glossy and red, could prove it.

She did eat just now.

The master didn't treat me as an outsider at all. This was an indescribable intimacy.

When Xie Fu ate it, the wild fruit seemed to be filled with a special aroma. He ate it very slowly, as if he was savoring this unbridled feeling.

The only sound in the quiet cave was the soft chewing sound, and Duanmuci's eyelashes seemed to be trembling slightly when he closed his eyes.

"Master Duanmuci, I don't want to eat meat anymore, so don't take any more risks."

"Let's go practice."

…

Xie Fu concentrates on practicing Qigong every day, but Duanmuci always disappears every day. Xie Fu can only see her during certain fixed time periods.

I guess I should be looking for food. The process of looking for food is just like making a living.

Isn’t it true that people live just to have three meals a day?

This place is simply weird, and edible things are hard to find, so Xie Fu cherishes it very much.

Of course, Duanmu Ci could not make Xie Fu full, but it would not make him hungry either.

Master Xie once asked her, Master Duanmuci, you are so kind to me, but I don’t know how to repay you.

Duanmu Ci responded to him, as long as you practice hard, you will repay me.

Although Xie Fu didn't know why Duanmuci only had such requirements for him, it didn't matter how good he was in training.

But he kept this instruction in mind and practiced Qigong with great concentration.

There was no calendar day in the mountains, so more than a month passed in silence.

Xie Fu finally couldn't help but wonder what Duanmuci was doing when he disappeared, so he put aside his practice and went to look for it secretly, and also to see what food he could find.

I was wandering around the mountains for an unknown amount of time when I suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure crouching in the dirt and grass. There was a trace of black hair like a ponytail hanging down to the ground behind her. Xie Fu recognized her back at a glance.

In fact, except for the two of them, there is no one else alive here.

Xie Fu approached silently, Duanmu Ci seemed to be doing something with his heart and didn't notice.

Her black hair was clear, and the two glistening streaks of snow-white on both sides of her hair also caught Xie Fu's eyes. They were a pair of small ears sticking out of her temples.

It is as sharp as a mulberry leaf but not as sharp as a fox's ear. It has a more rounded outline, the ear piece is soft, and the ear muscle is as white as a piece of jade that has been nourished by mountain springs all year round.

It wasn't until today that Xie Fu discovered that her ears were so beautiful, and that every part of her body was a treasure of heaven and earth.

Xie Fu licked his lips, as if he saw delicious food and wanted to take a bite.
