It was already dark when Ling Che came back. Since he didn't have the habit of eating at home with Gu Yunxi, he basically had dinner outside.
Naturally, he raised his head and glanced at Gu Yunxi's room, only to find that the lights were not on as usual. Ling Che's mood suddenly became gloomy.
"Master, you are finally back!" Mrs. Wang greeted Ling Che with an anxious look on her face. Gu Yunxi had been out for four or five hours, but she hadn't come back yet, and she was extremely anxious.
"What's wrong?" Ling Che frowned and suddenly had a bad feeling.
"The young lady went to the woods to the east of the villa and hasn't come back yet! I..."
"What!" Before Mrs. Wang could finish her words, Ling Che shouted angrily, "Who asked her to go? Don't you know there are poisonous snakes in the forest?"
"I know, but I was really bored when I saw the young mistress, so... I forgot about it at the time. I only remember that the madam said that the fireflies in the forest are very beautiful..." After hesitating, Mrs. Wang was also a little confused. She
Who would have thought that Gu Yunxi would really dare to go alone? By the time she found out, she had already been gone for nearly half an hour. She only left a note saying thank you to her.
"Damn it!" Ling Che glanced at Mrs. Wang and ran towards the gate without even thinking.
Ling Che ran out without driving. Countless terrifying scenes flashed through his mind along the way. When he was a child, he and his father Ling Li had gone to that ancient forest together, and he had seen the power of venomous snakes!
"Gu Yunxi!" Ling Che ran for more than a hundred meters in the forest with a stick in his hand. As he ran, he beat the grass in front of him to drive away poisonous snakes that might appear at any time. His expensive suit had already been scratched by branches.
It looked like this, but he had no time to think about it. His mind was filled with the scene of Gu Yunxi being bitten by a poisonous snake.
At this time, Gu Yunxi had passed through the initial chaos of the forest and came to an open space. This open space was as flat as a green belt covered with turf. Stepping on it was like stepping on cotton, soft and comfortable. The open space was covered with ancient
Surrounded by trees, leaving only a hole in the east. Rare tranquility, rare absence of Ling Che's indifference...
"Gu Yunxi... Where are you? Come out!" Gu Yunxi was enjoying the gift of nature alone, but Ling Che was worried. He didn't know what was wrong with him. The only thought in his mind was that Gu Yunxi couldn't
Something happened.
Gu Yunxi vaguely seemed to hear Ling Che's shout. With a sudden thought, she sat up from the grass. Looking around, she found that there was no one except her.
"It's weird, could it be an auditory hallucination?" Gu Yunxi curled her lips and continued to sit down, admiring the beautiful fairy tale night scene. But the familiar voice was getting closer and closer.
When Ling Che found Gu Yunxi, he seemed to have entered a fairyland. Looking at Gu Yunxi, who was surrounded by fireflies and enjoying himself with his eyes closed, his throat tightened and he suddenly couldn't scream.
Ling Che had imagined thousands of ways to scold Gu Yunxi, but when he actually saw her, he couldn't say a word. Seeing that she was safe and sound, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"It's so quiet and beautiful here!" Feeling the familiar scent getting closer, Gu Yunxi not only did not open his eyes, but instead lay on the lawn more comfortably. It turned out that it was not an illusion, he had really found it.
Gu Yunxi enjoyed this short-term happiness very much, and she felt that Ling Che seemed to be the same as her.
Ling Che sat down next to Gu Yunxi, looking at the fireflies flying in the sky, he couldn't help but feel a strange emotion in his heart. The woman lying next to him looked so peaceful and beautiful under the moonlight, as if it was not real.
"Gu Yunxi!" For some reason, Ling Che suddenly wanted to say this name.
"Shh! Don't talk!" Gu Yunxi slowly sat up, opened his eyes, and greedily looked at the full moon hanging in the sky within reach, Gu Yunxi put his finger on Ling Che's lips.
This action actually caused Ling Che's heartbeat to skip a beat for an instant.
"Are you here to take me back?" Gu Yunxi's eyes were filled with a hint of seduction, and there was indescribable sadness in Gu Yunxi's tone.
But she didn't see it at all. At this time, the expression on Ling Che's face was not the usual indifference, but a trace of deliberately concealed tenderness.
"It's really beautiful here. Can you let me stay a little longer? I'm really tired and want to rest!" Gu Yunxi seemed really tired, and her voice gradually became a little deeper.
Ling Che did not speak, but looked at Gu Yunxi's side face in the moonlight. For a moment, he seemed to have really forgotten everything, and only the beautiful woman as jade remained in his eyes.
"Hiss~hiss~" The rare moment of peace was broken by a strange sound.
Gu Yunxi suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the surrounding environment vigilantly. Although she was not an expert, as an archaeologist, she still had the minimum awareness of crisis and precautionary measures.
Ling Che obviously heard it clearly, and he immediately realized what it was.
The venomous snake will not appear easily unless it senses the invasion of alien beings.
Ling Che suddenly took Gu Yunxi's hand and stared at the direction of the sound vigilantly. "Gu Yunxi, don't be afraid, I won't let the poisonous snake hurt you! No one in this world can hurt you except me.
Half a point!”
Ling Che's unintentional words reached Gu Yunxi's ears, and she suddenly felt a little funny. Even in times of crisis, this man would not allow others to infringe on his ownership of her. Gu Yunxi really couldn't understand, if he didn't love her
, why do you care so much about her belonging, why do you go to such great lengths to imprison her by your side!
After a pause and no words, Gu Yunxi just quietly put his hand into the backpack behind his back.
"This is it!" Smelling a strange smell, Ling Che turned around suddenly and saw that Gu Yunxi was holding a purse-like thing made of gauze in his hand.
"This is filled with sulfur powder, specially used to drive away venomous snakes!" Gu Yunxi took out a small dagger from his backpack unhurriedly, skillfully made a slit in his purse, put on his gloves and started to
Light yellow powder was carefully sprinkled on her and Ling Che's bodies.
Gu Yunxi acted like a professional snake repellent expert, and Ling Che was dumbfounded. He didn't know she had such skills.
"You have forgotten where I come from. Field archeology is all necessary. Otherwise, do you think it is easy to unearth cultural relics? Before they are unearthed, we are likely to have been attacked by these snakes, insects, rats and ants.
It's bitten to death!" After finishing it, Gu Yunxi put everything back into the backpack behind him, glanced at Ling Che, and explained casually.
