There was a stream in the valley and game in the mountains. The two of them walked along the stream, hoping to find an exit. But along the way they found that the mountain roads were high and low, surrounded by trees, and the road became increasingly lost as they walked. The stream is composed of many forked roads.
When they encountered a fork in the road, they had to rely on intuition to find the way.
This journey with Du Yuze was not difficult. Although he would sleep in the wild at night, with the sky as his bed and the earth as his bed, he was by his side. He collected firewood and caught game, and she was responsible for baking it. The two of them shared the food and ate it.
It was quite enjoyable. When he was tired from walking, he would stop to rest. At night, when the dew in the valley was heavy, he was afraid that she would be cold, so he never forgot to gather firewood and let her cuddle up to keep warm.
During these days, when Nalan Fengjin fell into the valley, she used her internal strength to protect her body. The golden needles in her disguise had been forced out of her body, but she did not push in new golden needles. Originally, Du Yuze had seen her true face, but now she was here
It doesn't matter if you are in a deep valley and there are no outsiders.
Du Yuze never spoke much, but inexplicably he made her feel warm and comfortable. She didn't have to pretend or hide her feelings in front of him. She didn't have to say anything. Even if she occasionally cursed a word or two, it only made him feel funny and a little helpless.
The way he looked at her was always gentle, making Nalan Fengjin feel warm all the time. He actually felt that it would be good to just go on like this. He didn't need anything, it was just fine like this.
Du Yuze also had the same idea, and actually thought it would be great if this road had no end, so when they encountered forks in the road several times, they unanimously chose the road that was least like an exit.
After walking and stopping along the way, with nothing to do, Nalan Fengjin asked Du Yuze why he jumped down after him.
He covered his eyes but did not answer.
She didn't give up and asked him again and again. Although she guessed some of the answers, she wanted to hear him say it himself.
He finally said: "I can't watch you die in front of me."
Nalan Fengjin suddenly thought that he couldn't bear to see Du Yuze die in front of him. After thinking about it, he accepted this answer.
But when I thought about it later, I realized something was wrong. If it was Du Yuze who jumped down first that day, would she have followed suit regardless of her life? This answer remained unsolved for several days. Then she reluctantly asked him if he had any questions.
Anything else? He smiled and asked her, "What else should there be?"
On the third day at the bottom of the valley, Nalan Fengjin found that the temperature of the stream had become warmer, and the surrounding scenery had also changed. The climate was gradually becoming humid, and green bamboos were occasionally seen. It was a little strange, and he hesitated at a fork in the road which way to go.
While walking by, I found a green snake meandering around. There were many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the mountains. It was not surprising that snakes appeared, but this snake happened to be encountered by Nalan Fengjin. Under Nalan Fengjin’s hair, it turned out to be
A rare venomous snake was seen, its venom was precious, so he became greedy, saw the shadow of the snake in the distance, and ran towards it. The snake was very alert and knew that there was danger approaching, so it instantly burrowed deep into the forest.
How could Nalan Fengjin let it go so easily and followed the green snake into the depths of the mountain forest.
When Du Yuze saw her running after a snake, he didn't ask much and just followed her closely.
The snake was obviously a local snake, familiar with the road. It bullied Nalan Fengjin and Du Yuze that they were outsiders. It crawled all the way. Because it was surrounded by bushes and tall grass, Nalan Fengjin and Du Yuze chased it very hard, but they did not give up.
Lan Fengjin turned around and smiled at Du Yuze. They both started to have fun. They actually found chasing the snake to be very interesting and had already forgotten the way they came.
The green snake was about half a foot long and moved very quickly. It was chased by Nalan Fengjin in a hurry, so it found a cave nearby, got into it, and disappeared.
Seeing the green snake disappear, Nalan Fengjin had to stop and turn around and said to Du Yuze: "It's over, it still ran away, it's a good poison."
Du Yuze smiled and said: "The strong dragon will not suppress the local snake, so let's forget it."
Nalan Fengjin chuckled and said, "Okay, what shall we eat tonight?"
Du Yuze said: "Let's find a place to rest for the night and then make plans."
Nalan Fengjin nodded and said: "Okay."
Instead of walking back, they coincidentally looked for a place to rest nearby for the night. It was still some time before the sun set. As they walked, they saw the stream again. They looked at each other and smiled and continued walking along the stream.
