The feeling of being chased is not pleasant at all.
Mo Shuruo seemed to have two feet that were not his own, so he just knew how to run forward.
The moon peeking out from behind the dark clouds barely kept the mountainous area from getting dark, but not far away, she still fell down a small slope, and in the blink of an eye the person holding the torch was chasing her.
This road was really difficult to walk. Fortunately, the slope was not high, so he did not fall badly. Mo Shuruo got up and ran forward without his life. When he ran past a towering tree, he felt something was suddenly wrapped around his waist, and he lowered his head.
Before he could see clearly, the person was pulled up to the top of the tree by a force.
The men stopped under the tree holding torches.
"What happened? He disappeared in the blink of an eye?"
"Everyone, search everywhere carefully."
The group of people stabbed the surrounding grass with swords. Who knew that at the critical moment, Mo Shuruo had been rescued on the top of the tree. And the person who helped her was none other than Yan Jue.
When she was pulled up to the tree branch, she saw his face clearly.
Yan Jue was lying on his back among the tree trunks, and it seemed that he had been resting before. However, when Mo Shuruo came up, he nestled on his chest like an Arhat. Although this was something that did not matter to Yan Jue,
But it was very fatal to her...
To prevent her from falling, Yan Jue's left arm was firmly placed across her waist, and she could even feel the coolness coming from the big hand on her back.
Such a posture is simply confusing!
Thinking of what happened at Xuefeng last time, Mo Shuruo's face turned even redder. He couldn't help but glance at his not-so-big breasts, which were pressed against him without any gaps between one or two layers of clothing.
On her chest, she seemed to be able to feel the hardness of his muscles and... No! Ahhh! She suddenly woke up, what was she thinking! What was she thinking!!
Yanjue turned his head and listened intently to the actions of those under the tree, with a cold expression on his face.
She was walking back and forth in her mind, her hands were frozen at her sides, her whole body was straight, and she didn't even dare to breathe heavier. The footsteps under the tree gradually faded away, but she still didn't dare to move.
This scene! This action!! It’s so...unbelievable...
It wasn't the first time I was held by him, but it was the first time I was so close, so close that his face was right in front of my eyes, so close that I could clearly see his fluttering eyelashes.
The hand around her waist suddenly let go, and she let out a low cry, and rolled directly off of him. She was originally ready to fall flat on her face, but unexpectedly she was caught by him.
Mo Shuruo swayed in the air twice, but the cold grip on his wrist did not last long. Before she could react, he actually let go of his hand again. He landed on his back and fell to the ground, pretending to be dead.
The smell of green grass flowed into his nose clearly, and the sky suddenly became darker. Mo Shuruo looked at his back in a daze.
"What are you doing in Yanya Prison?"
"Ah?" She came back to her senses and confirmed that it was not an illusion. "Oh, um, I...I am..." She muttered for a long time and her mind was stuck, but she couldn't make up a reason.
Yanjue raised his hands to rest under his head, and before she could answer, he interrupted her directly, "I want to rest, you can go."
"Ah?...Oh..." She rubbed her butt and got up.
For some reason, the discomfort she felt because of his distant words outweighed the happiness of seeing him. Regarding Baiyue, she was indeed a little too much, and it was right for him to be angry. Besides, he was the master and she was a subordinate. This
It was impossible to break the relationship. It was her own delusion during those days.
She originally wanted to give him a good explanation after seeing him, but now she was so cold that she didn't even have the chance to say another word. Mo Shuruo took two hesitant steps and finally stopped.
She didn't come here to let him drive her away!
She plucked up the courage and turned around to look, "The story about Yanya Prison's treasure is false, you..." The words that she rushed out of her mouth suddenly stopped. She froze in place, looking at the empty branches with a sad expression. There was nothing there.
Someone was not hallucinating, but that person walked away without stopping the moment she turned around...
She lowered her head, wanting to cry but couldn't.
After a long time, he murmured in a low voice: "Don't go..." The corners of his mouth moved, and after a long time he suddenly said in a choked low voice, "Don't go either..."
He was still standing under the tree dejectedly. The next moment, he got the courage from nowhere and suddenly chased towards Yan Ya Prison into the forest.
Not far out of the woods, across a stream, she finally saw the white figure. On the vast horizon, the moon seemed very close to her, big enough to be bigger than a house. He was walking too fast, and in the blink of an eye he
It seems to be disappearing into the moon.
"etc--"
The cold wind blew and rustled the leaves. In the empty night, the sound of copper bells could be heard.
He stopped and turned around. The two of them looked at each other across the stream. Mo Shuruo stopped at the bank, not daring to take another step, "Are you going to Yan Yayu?"
"yes."
"But!..." She felt a little excited as soon as she said the words. She paused and whispered: "The story about Yanya Prison's treasure is false. I believe grandpa has already reported it. Why..."
"Why am I still coming?"
Mo Shuruo opened his mouth and was speechless. After a while, he said: "You clearly know that it is a trap..."
He turned his back to her, "Some things, even if they are false, must be confirmed by yourself."
What could be more important than her own life! She couldn't figure it out. She had gone through so much trouble to escape because she wanted to prevent him from going to such a dangerous place, not to watch him jump into a trap.
"Don't go..."
But he suddenly spoke out, overriding her attempts to stop her, "Go back, the road ahead is too dangerous."
The moon coated his whole body with a halo. He turned his head, and the outline of his facial features was so hazy, as if he was about to soar suddenly and could no longer be traced.
Mo Shuruo lifted up his skirt and stepped directly into the stream without thinking. The cold water eroded his skin and made his teeth tremble with the cold, "Wait a minute..."
He stopped again, and she stopped too. This situation of having to say no and not leave was embarrassing.
Mo Shuruo looked at his back and inexplicably felt that the distance was too far.
She said wait, but what did she ask him to wait for?
"Let's go back."
He blinked his eyes violently, controlled entirely by his thoughts, and when he climbed onto the shore, his hand grasped a corner of his sleeve tightly in a daze.
I know he can't see but I'm still afraid of his eyes. Even if I don't say anything, I seem to know everything.
She blushed, "...I...take me with you...maybe I can help..." She had already made up her mind, as long as he didn't look back, even if she was rejected, she would
Follow him.
The drums in my heart were beating wildly, and I suddenly heard the rustling sound of clothes fluttering.
Slowly raising her head, his cold fingers were grazing her face. In an instant, she felt thunder from the sky and fire from the earth, and her brain was fried on the outside and tender on the inside.
He took back his hand and said softly: "It's bleeding."
"Ah?" Mo Shuruo touched it with his backhand, and there was indeed a trace of blood, "I ran too fast just now, maybe it was scratched by a branch, it doesn't matter."
He sighed, "I have something to do on this trip and I really can't take care of you. I'll go back..."
"I will take care of myself!" Mo Shuruo interrupted and said resolutely: "You don't have to persuade me anymore. I'm already here and there's no way I can go back. Besides, one more person gives me more strength! I
Although I have no ability, there is always somewhere I can help you..." No matter what the far-fetched reason was, Mo Shuruo had decided to stick to him for nothing.
Yan Jue is speechless.
There has been a war in the northwest recently. Ruanyao went to the Wurong battlefield but did not return. You Jiang followed Yuhua Fuxiang to deal with matters and couldn't be separated. In addition, he was not sure about the Yan Yayu matter, so he took the risk to come to investigate.
Baicai led the way. It was really inconvenient to be alone. If Uncle Mo showed up at this moment, he might be able to really help.
With this in mind, he did not refuse. "If you want to follow, just follow." After saying that, he walked forward again.
Mo Shuruo was so happy that he burst out laughing, "Thank you City Lord!"
The two of them walked forward to an open area and stopped to rest. Mo Shuruo sat under a tree and lit a fire to warm his wet clothes. From time to time, he glanced at Yanjue who was lying on the fork of the tree. Although he didn't say anything, he looked at her.
Now it seems that he should not be angry with her anymore.
Mo Shuruo hugged his knees, his face illuminated by the fire, giving him an indescribable sense of beauty.
She was very happy in her heart and felt that she had a lot of things to say at the banquet.
"Are you asleep?"
There is no reaction on the head.
She said to herself, "I know you're not sleeping."
Then he heard a noise, he turned over and sat next to her, "You haven't answered me yet, why are you here?"
She gave a reason, "The incident at Yanya Prison has spread a lot. There are many people from the Wulin court involved, so naturally the Mohist family cannot ignore it."
This reason is perfect, I can't help but praise myself for being smart.
"Then why are you alone, a disciple of the Mo family?"
Mo Shuruo didn't expect this question. As soon as he asked it, he immediately got stuck, "They... they..."
"Are they still on their way here?"
Mo Shuruo nodded, "Yes!" As soon as he finished speaking, he received a slap on the forehead.
"Be honest."
Mo Shuruo pressed his forehead, "City Lord, I know I was wrong... I came here because I heard you were coming..." He secretly peeked at his expression, then hurriedly lowered his head, "Shu Ruo knew he had sinned and felt ashamed.
It’s too hard, so I came here to beg for mercy from the city lord.”
Yanjue raised his eyebrows, "Begging for mercy? What did you do wrong again?"
Mo Shuruo said weakly: "I made you angry."
Yan Jue was stunned for a moment. He had an inexplicable unhappiness with her in Baiyue. When he returned to Tianmu Peak and thought about this inexplicable unhappiness, he felt even more unhappy. Thinking of the incident at the Snow Summit last time, he felt even more awkward.
Originally, the two of them cared about different things, and they didn't say who was right or wrong. It was just that Yanjue was conflicted in her heart, and her face was frighteningly cold.
Mo Shuruo saw him turning his head away and misunderstood what he meant and thought he was still angry, so he pretended to be aggrieved, took the only headdress on his head and put it in his hand, "I didn't prepare anything good in advance. This silver hairpin
It's my mother's relic. I'll mortgage it to you for now, so don't be angry, okay?"
He was amused and angry at the way she was beating and scolding her. "If you give me an apology for every favor you owe me, then it seems that the Mo family's finances will be in deficit." She looked puzzled, and he was already worried.
He opened his palms and counted them carefully for her to hear, "Look, there were horse scares in the town during the Baiyue period, plus the escape of living corpses, etc. As a subordinate, how many times have you owed me just for saving you, eh? You misunderstood me.
I'm angry, but I'm not a saint, so I can't be angry? Do you think I care about these external things? Just treat me as if I care, but how can you repay me one after another?"
"I..." This Yan Juesheng looks better, and his experience and status are different from ordinary people, but hasn't he always been considerate of his subordinates? This fussing over everything seems stingy.
But after all, it was her fault.
Uncle Mo was in the wrong, and it was rare to hear him talk so much today, so she was still happy in her heart.
He took out the brocade box from his bag, took out the white jade ring and put it in his hand, "I originally wanted to give this ring to you on your birthday, and today I will treat it as an apology."
He held the ring and accepted it as a matter of course, "Since it's a birthday gift, I can't apologize anymore."
"Ah?" She cried sadly. Apart from this old clothes, she really couldn't bring anything else with her. "I went out in a hurry and didn't bring anything valuable, but Shu Ruo's sincerity in apologizing can be seen from the sun and the moon!" Duan Zhengzheng
Kneeling and sitting next to him, Mo Shuruo said seriously: "As long as the city lord no longer blames you and goes through fire and water, Shuruo will never flinch at all."
"I didn't intend to ask for any apology from you, I just wanted to tease you because I saw how honest and honest you looked." Thinking of the Qingding incident, if we really talked about right and wrong, he might have to die to pay for this crime.
Mo Shuruo opened his eyes and said stupidly: "Really! Then you are not angry with me?"
He smiled and said, "I'm not angry anymore."
Mo Shuruo bit her lower lip, feeling happy and aggrieved, but she did not dare to express these emotions.
"It's getting late, and we have to travel tomorrow." He stretched out a hand to hold her head. Mo Shuruo stared at him stupidly, as if he had been stabbed on an acupuncture point, and couldn't move. Just as his heart was pounding,
He held the hairpin in his other hand and put it back on her head, saying softly: "Go to bed early."
After putting the silver hairpin on her, Yan Jue was about to stand up, but she suddenly grabbed her sleeve. He was surprised, "What?"
"I..." Mo Shuruo hurriedly let go of his hand, "I can't sleep... please talk to me."
He turned his head towards the fire in a daze, "What do you want to hear me say?"
"During the day, you heard my ringtone, right?"
He was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and smiled, "What, you want to owe me a favor again?" Mo Shuruo had the courage to look at him directly for the first time, only to realize that he had so many little tricks.
"Okay, I owe everything...I owe it until I pay it back..." The sad look that flashed at that moment never appeared. I didn't know when my hand was raised in the air, and I couldn't help but want to touch his eyebrows, but in the middle
The distance is farther than the Milky Way.
He raised his head and smiled, "If you can't pay it back, then you don't have to pay it back."
Withdrawing his hand, Mo Shuruo hugged his knees and huddled up, burying his face in his arms.
"Thanks……"
She suddenly said such touching words, and she felt great joy and sorrow in her heart. What was joyful was that she actually had a place in his heart and was not just a subordinate. What was sad was that after this incident, she could never see him again.
The surrounding gradually became quiet again.
Suddenly I heard him say: "I'm sorry about Qingding..."
Mo Shuruo raised his head. He never expected that Yan Jue would take the initiative to mention it. She originally wanted to pretend it never happened.
"That day I drank and practiced martial arts and lost my mind. It was completely unintentional."
"..."
"Speaking of apologies, it's my turn to apologize to you."
"..." Mo Shuruo's lips trembled, "You... remember everything?"
"Yes."
"..." She took a breath and rolled her eyes, "So when you just said that you don't have to pay back what you owe me, was it because I felt it was rude and you apologized to me?"
He thought for a while and said, "So be it."
Mo Shuruo couldn't laugh or cry, "You are really good at calculating..." She had completely misunderstood, right?
"Perhaps, I will be responsible..."
"Huh?" Mo Shuruo tilted his head and looked at him. "What did you say?"
Perhaps because he realized what he had said, he was a little at a loss, but in the blink of an eye he acted like nothing was wrong, "I mean, as long as I'm here from now on, I will definitely protect you."
This explanation really makes people unhappy at all...
Mo Shuruo lay down on the spot, not wanting to continue, "Thank you City Lord for your kindness, it's too late, go to sleep."
She didn't sleep well that night. When she woke up in the morning, she was awakened by a nightmare. In the dream, Yan Jue left her in the dangerous night and left without looking back. She was so scared that she looked around when she opened her eyes. Morning fog
Inside, Yan Jue was standing not far away, combing Baicai's mane. Mo Shuruo looked in a daze and slowly stood up with a sigh of relief.
Hearing the noise, he turned to look at her and said, "Wake up. There are fruits next to the fire. Eat them quickly if you are hungry. Get ready to go on the road."
Mo Shuruo picked up the two fruits and gnawed them, and couldn't help but walk over them slowly.
This time, the two of them were truly traveling together, with no outsiders. She felt both happy and melancholy at the same time. It was the first time they had gotten along well in several months, but she was a little uneasy, fearing that she would be exposed.
"Why don't you say anything?" Yanjue continued to take care of the cabbage. Under the careful care of the owner, the intelligent horse snorted happily and swung its tail.
"No, I was thinking about a question." The misunderstanding was cleared up last night, which meant that the next headache for her was that she knew that Yan Yayu was dangerous. What was the reason why she had to go? She couldn't bear the thought of this.
Then he asked, "What is the reason why you went to Yanya Prison?"
"I can't tell you this."
Well, since we don’t know what the problem is, it seems impossible to stop him from the brink.
Mo Shuruo complained: "Ah, I have a headache..."
Hearing the sound, he immediately stepped back and walked up to her, "Have a headache?"
Seeing him suddenly reaching out to support her head, she stepped back with her eyes widened, "What are you doing..."
"do not move."
The gentle words, which were not like commands, instantly made her forget to move.
Cold fingers gently pressed his temples on both sides. Mo Shuruo closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling nervously.
"Don't let the wind and cold worsen because your clothes were wet last night."
Mo Shuruo slowly opened his eyes.
Is he caring about her?
Such a close distance, such a clear taste of him. If the fingers hanging by her side were not numb, she might hug him desperately.
If this continues, maybe something will change again.
She gritted her teeth and her mind was very confused.
Suddenly she felt a weight on her arm, and before she reacted, she grabbed the clothes on her arm.
"What's wrong?"
"I..." She breathed unsteadily and said with difficulty: "I'm fine, I can set off, let's go."
He was surprised, "Your voice is weird. Do you want to take a rest?"
"No!" She said firmly: "I'm fine, don't worry about me at all."
He put down his hand and said, "Don't show off if you feel unwell."
She nodded, "I'm really fine."
But he whistled to call the white horse back, hugged her on the horse's back, and said, "Stay good." He took the horse and started to set off.
Under the long white mist, golden light shone in the woods, and the wind blew from all directions. She seemed to smell the fragrance of plum blossoms again.
I wonder if the plum blossom in the house has failed? I wonder if Xiang Jingyi in Baiyue is well?
She abandoned the Mo family and followed Yan Jue to Yanya Prison. Now looking at his back, she felt a sense of relief. For just this moment, she lied to herself that he also liked her.
