The branches rustled, and Li Xingchen slid down from the tree quickly. There was silence in the darkness around him. After all, this place was already across a mountain from the pool they came out of before. No matter how large the array of the Northern Zhou army was,
, it is impossible for it to spread here, even the scout team probably won't spread so far.
However, despite this, Li Xingchen still cautiously climbed up the tree and observed it for a long time, and then made a gesture to Xiao Shilian under the tree. Xiao Shilian nodded, found a place hidden by the woods where the moonlight could not be found, and carefully placed the
He put together the firewood he had collected before, then took out the flint and steel he had finally dried and touched it violently.
It has to be said that Xiao Shilian came from a military family, and he is quite proficient in the skills that a scout should learn.
A wisp of flames rose slowly. Looking at Li Lian'er who was still shivering in his own coat, Li Xingchen sighed softly. After all, his sister is a woman, and her physical fitness cannot be compared with that of Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian.
In comparison, Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian, who also had a narrow escape from the water, just shook the water off their bodies, but Li Lian'er sneezed several times in succession, and his little head also felt a little hot, making him feel dizzy.
It was obvious that I was suffering from the wind and cold when I went up there.
But Li Xingchen had no choice but to light a fire and give Li Lian'er a little warmth. Li Xingchen didn't want the last relative he desperately followed and protected to leave him in this way.
"Brother Li, my clothes are almost dry. You can wear mine. Being naked like this is not a good thing after all. Don't freeze yourself." Xiao Shilian also took off his coat and handed it to him.
Li Xingchen.
Li Xingchen waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm a rough-skinned and fleshy person, so I don't need it yet."
Xiao Shilian immediately feigned anger and said, "According to what you said, do you dislike a certain person's thin skin and tender meat?"
With a wry smile, Li Xingchen didn't know how to explain it, but he also understood what Xiao Shilian meant. For Xiao Shilian, who had an excellent upbringing, of course he couldn't watch Li Xingchen's brother and sister freezing, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable.
Li Xingchen simply stretched out his hand to take the clothes, walked over and put them on his trembling sister: "Come on, Lian'er, put this one on again."
As he spoke, Li Xingchen carefully adjusted Li Lian'er's sleeves, and at the same time stretched out his hand to put it on her forehead. He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and looked up at Xiao Shilian: "Lian'er's head is getting hotter and hotter.
, This can’t go on like this. I went to get some water from the creek over there, and you watched us get some food. We managed to catch a wild rabbit, but don’t burn it on the fire.”
Xiao Shilian nodded, watched Li Xingchen go away, and looked around cautiously. At this moment, Li Lian'er, who was already a little dizzy, said in a low voice: "Water... water...
···”
Xiao Shilian was stunned for a moment, and he didn't care about anything else at this time. He reached out and took off his water bag, and hurriedly brought it to Li Lian'er's mouth. The girl was obviously suffering from a high fever, so she just subconsciously grabbed Xiao Shilian's sleeve and used a lot of force.
His nails were so big that they almost dug into Xiao Shilian's arms. He obviously mistook him for those damn bandits and soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Xiao Shilian gritted his teeth and did not dare to say anything. He had already greeted Li Xinchen a thousand times in his heart. This guy really knew how to choose the right time to leave his sister to him. But Li Xinchen was not here, and Xiao Shilian couldn't look at Li Xinchen.
Lian'er's face turned slightly red when he was like this. He didn't know whether it was because of the burning bonfire or because this was actually the first time Xiao Shilian had such close contact with a strange girl.
"Miss Lian'er, I'm sorry for the emergency." Xiao Shilian thought for a while and said solemnly, then stretched out his hand to gently hold Li Lian'er, and barely pried open her closed lips with a water bag, "Miss Lian'er
, come on, be careful."
Although Li Lian'er had a high fever, he still had reason after all. At that moment, he seemed to realize that he was not arresting the damn enemy. He slowly let go of his hand, drank water in small sips, and slowly opened his eyes. When
When he saw that the person who came into view was not his brother, but another young and handsome man, Li Lian'er almost widened his eyes: "You!"
A mouthful of water almost sprayed on Xiao Shilian. Li Lian'er coughed and came to her senses. At this time, she recognized in a trance that the person in front of her was Xiao Shilian who brought her out of the desperate situation. However, Li Lianer
Lian'er had no more strength and just murmured: "Xiao...General Xiao, I'm sorry, no..."
"It's okay, it's okay." Xiao Shilian was confused first and almost dropped the water bag in his hand. He caught it hurriedly and scratched his head in embarrassment, "Come on, drink some more. Brother Li went to find water.
, you’ll be back soon.”
Li Lian'er lowered his head slightly: "I..."
Xiao Shilian was startled for a moment, and looked at Li Lian'er with some confusion: "Is Miss Lian'er worried about something?"
"Ah..." Li Lian'er's voice was very low, "I'm really sorry, General Xiao, for causing trouble to you and my brother. If it weren't for me..."
Xiao Shilian said in a deep voice: "How can you say this?! Not to mention that you are brother Li's sister, since I call brother Li brothers, then you are also my sister. What's more, even if we meet by chance, what will happen to Xiao Shilian?"
Is there any reason to ignore death?"
Li Lian'er was startled, holding back her dizziness and discomfort and raised her head. Looking at Xiao Shilian's angry look, she couldn't help but laugh. Xiao Shilian scratched his head in confusion: "You...what are you laughing at?
Is there something wrong with what I said?"
"It's nothing," Li Lian'er waved her hand hurriedly and said seriously, "General Xiao's kindness, Lian'er must remember it in his heart."
Xiao Shilian breathed a sigh of relief, squatted down and handed the water bag to Li Lian'er: "I have offended you just now, please don't take offense, Miss Lian'er. You are weak now, you'd better drink more water, if you feel uncomfortable
Just say it.”
Li Lian'er hummed and took the water bag, while Xiao Shilian seemed to notice something: "I still feel a little uncomfortable from time to time. How about I tell you a story."
"General Xiao can tell stories?" Li Lian'er suddenly became curious and managed to cheer up.
Xiao Shilian nodded matter-of-factly: "Why, you know when my father asked me to study, I secretly read a lot of gossip books. To be honest, these books are more interesting. They are all about ghosts and ghosts.
, then I will tell you the story of Lan Ke in "Shu Yi Ji"..."
Feeling the weight on his shoulders, Xiao Shilian realized that Li Lian'er had fallen asleep leaning on his shoulders at some point. Xiao Shilian's mouth twitched but did not move. He didn't want to wake up, but in the end he couldn't resist the exhausted Li Lian.
Son.
While looking at the blazing bonfire and the roasted hare glistening with oil on the bonfire, Xiao Shilian felt the girl's gentle breathing close at hand.
After fighting and fighting all the way, it was a rare moment of peace.
