Luan Yue prepared the items needed on the road and prepared everyone to set off the next day.
Gongsun Yu, Gao Yan, Qi'er, Yuzhu, Luan Yue and Zhu Fu set out on the road early in the morning. Along the way, Zhu Fu reminded Qi'er to pay attention to his health many times, and Qi'er often spoke harshly to him.
Gongsun Yu walked quickly in front. He wanted to reach the capital quickly. Since there had been no news from the Secretariat recently, he was really worried. After all, his family was a wealthy family, and Empress Dowager Lou did not dare to move easily. He was worried about the safety of the little emperor, so he had to go back quickly.
Qi'er peeked at Gongsun Yu several times, but she couldn't keep up, and Gongsun Yu didn't even look back at her.
Qi'er comforted herself, thinking that they were not a couple or lovers, so wouldn't it be right for someone to not care about her? She had never been so indifferent to Gongsun Yu, and she felt very uncomfortable.
Yuzhu knew that Qi'er was weak, so he went over and said, "Help me, please?"
Qi'er happily held Yuzhu's arm, "Well, I'm a little tired."
After listening to Qi'er's words, Gongsun Yu unconsciously slowed down even though he didn't look back.
Everyone walked rhythmically, eating and resting on the way. After all, we are on a hurry and cannot rest for too long. Qi'er and Gao Yan were the only two people who couldn't keep up along the way. One was injured and the other was weak.
Every time Qi'er arrives at a resting place, he is the first to sit down and rest.
The sun was in the west. Luan Yue saw that everyone was tired and whispered to Gongsun Yu, "Master, is it getting dark soon?"
Gongsun Yu looked up at the sun in the west. They entered a mountain forest. It seemed that the forest was not small. Seeing that everyone was very tired, he said, "We have to leave quickly. If we don't leave quickly, look at how deserted this place is. There may not be an inn nearby..." "After saying that, I couldn't help but glance at Qi'er and saw that he looked tired...
"Why don't you take a rest first?" Gao Yan was injured after all, and he couldn't hold on and said, "I think everyone is tired too." He also looked at Qi'er as he spoke.
"Then take a rest first..." He said and looked at Qi'er involuntarily.
Qi'er sat down and tapped her legs.
Yuzhu told her that she was much better than when he first met her.
Qi'er thought about how weak and inexperienced she was before, and realized that it was not easy for her to be able to cultivate her body like this.
Gongsun Yu hardly spoke to Qi'er along the way. He just walked coldly and peeked at Qi'er from time to time. In fact, he didn't know whether he had a place in Qi'er's heart. Thinking about what she said on the city wall of Liangzhou that day, I felt even more unsure.
Everyone saw the relationship between Gongsun Yu and Qi'er. After Zhu Fu drank the water, he reminded Qi'er in a low voice, "You must have offended Mr. Yu by what you said on the gate of Liangzhou City. You can find a way to coax Mr. Yu." , if it were that man who listened to his wife saying that no man in the world is good, and the most untrustworthy, he felt uncomfortable."
Qi'er doesn't think so, right? He and I are not a real couple? I won't coax him...
Gongsun Yu seemed to be resting, but his eyes moved involuntarily to Qi'er. He saw her happily sitting next to Yuzhu, admiring the weeds around her with great interest. Suddenly, he saw Gongsun Yu looking at him, her eyes meeting each other. Looking at him, Gongsun Yu asked lightly, "Would you like to drink some water?"
This seems to be the first time Gongsun Yu asked Qi'er today. Qi'er said in an inexplicable atmosphere, "I won't drink."
Gongsun Yu also knew that Qi'er might be angry with him. After all, they didn't talk much all day, so Qi'er's tone was understandable.
Half an hour later, it was getting dark, and the setting sun burned half of the sky red. Gongsun Yu said, "It's time to set off."
"This mountain forest is not small, everyone is exhausted, and we may not be able to go out tonight..." Gao Yan said, his chest hurt a little, and he covered it hard.
Zhu Fu also said to Gongsun Yu, "Qi'er is still pregnant with a child, so she can't be too upset."
Gongsun Yu glanced at Qi'er and saw her tired face. She was so choked up by Zhu Fu's words that she didn't know what to say.
Yuzhu knew Qi'er's atmosphere and patted her hand twice. Qi'er naturally knew that Yuzhu comforted him.
Gongsun Yu saw that everyone looked tired and said, "Since everyone can't walk, let's find a wider place to rest. There are dense rocks here, but it is not suitable for sleeping at night. Can we only spend the night here tonight?" He Talking around.
Everyone had just rested for a while and were not in a hurry. They slowly looked for a suitable place to stay for the night.
He soon found a wide and flat place. Although it was surrounded by trees, Gongsun Yu said, "The terrain here is flat and suitable for sleeping at night."
Everyone looked around and felt it was suitable, so they each put down their baggage. At this time, Qi'er's stomach rumbled, and Qi'er opened her bag to see if there was anything to eat. I heard Gongsun Yu say to Qi'er, "It's cold at night in the mountains. You guys prepare some dry firewood, and A Yue and I will pack some game."
Zhu Fu also said, "Hey, shall I come with you?" Then he followed.
Qi'er, Yuzhu, and Gao Yan were preparing to collect firewood. Qi'er looked at Gao Yan and kept covering his chest, saying, "Either Yuzhu and I go. You are seriously ill, so you should take a rest."
Gao Yan was indeed tired. Hearing Qi'er's words, he was naturally happy and asked Qi'er and the others to be careful.
Gongsun Yu didn't go far at all. Hearing Qi'er's concern for Gao Yan, a trace of jealousy flashed across his face, but his face was calm and no one else could see it.
Gao Yan sat down to rest, thinking about Qi'er's words, and felt warm in his heart, but he knew that Qi'er was not as good to him as she was to Gongsun Yu... Thinking about her and Gongsun Yu's visit that day, he felt unhappy.
Gao Yan was still thinking when he heard Zhu Fu say, "Fortunately you thought carefully and brought a bow and arrow. Otherwise, how would we have caught so many people? Ah Yue, you are so good at shooting. You can always hit the mark with your arrows. We are in for a treat tonight." "The sound came from far to near.
Gao Yanshun went out and saw Gongsun Yu and the others carrying two wild rabbits, three pheasants, and a large bundle of firewood in Zhu Fu's hand.
Gao Yan was surprised and asked, "So fast?"
Zhu Fu answered quickly, "After walking a few steps, I saw two rabbits. Ah Yue shot one with an arrow. The pheasant was shot by Mr. Yu... Hey, they haven't come back yet?" He threw a large bundle of firewood on the ground.
Gao Yan said, "They are the girl's family. Please wait. We bake them first and they can eat them when they come back later."
Zhu Fu said again, "There is a lot of firewood over there. I only have so much firewood. You can roast it while I pick up some more firewood."
Luan Yue said, "I'll go with you."
Gao Yan and Gongsun Yu made a fire, skewered the game and roasted it on the fire. They were busy with each other without saying a word.
Gao Yan thought about the last time they invited Gongsun Yu to hunt, but Gongsun Yu didn't even move a finger, and said with emotion, "I'm honored to be able to eat the prey that Gongsun Yu caught."
"I won't mind if you make it up to me when you get the chance."
Gao Yan knew that Gongsun Yu had always been so cold, so he sneered, "You dare to say... why not... let's go hunting together in Ulsan when we have time?" he asked tentatively.
Gongsun Yu naturally knew that Gao Yan wanted to win over him, so he deliberately said, "Your Highness also knows that I never like the excitement."
At this time, Qi'er and Yuzhu also came back. They put down the firewood, and Yuzhu said, "It's all baked so quickly?" He sat down with Qi'er.
Luan Yue and Zhu Fu also came over to put down firewood one after another. Qi'er asked in surprise, "You got so much firewood?"
Luan Yue said, "It's just a firewood base over there, with firewood everywhere."
Everyone gathered around the bonfire, the firewood crackling, watching the flames roasting the game. Occasionally, there would be oil dripping on the fire, making a sizzling sound.
Qi'er didn't feel ready yet, so she held her belly and waited. Yuzhu whispered, "I saw there were wild fruits over there just now. Why don't you go and pick some?"
"Should I go with you?" As they said this, the two of them walked and chatted with mysterious smiles, and went to pick wild fruits.
Gongsun Yu's eyes were on the roasted game. He saw Qi'er and Yuzhu leaving from the corner of his eye. He immediately turned around and saw that it was already dark. He watched Qi'er leave with a little worry. Then he thought about it, Yuzhu was with her. It'll be okay.
Gongsun Yu has been looking at the place where they disappeared since Qi'er left. A quarter of an hour has passed, and two quarters of an hour have passed. Why haven't they come back yet? Even though he knew that Qi'er had Yuzhu by his side, the mountain road was difficult to walk, and Gongsun Yu couldn't help but worry.
Finally, Qi'er and Yuzhu came back. They wrapped some red fruits in handkerchiefs. When Qi'er and Yuzhu came back, they divided the fruits. Qi'er said, "Everyone eat Dian Dian first. This fruit is sour and sweet. Before dinner It’s an appetizer, it’s already been washed, feel free to eat.”
Zhu Fu said, "This game smells delicious. I can eat a lot without appetizing it." After saying this, he laughed silly.
Qi'er finished his performance and handed it to Gongsun Yu. Gongsun Yu took it without raising his head and ate it without saying a word. Qi'er really wanted to snatch it from him instead of letting him eat it.
The game was ready and everyone shared it. Gao Yan broke off a rabbit leg for Qi'er. Qi'er was already hungry, so he took it with thanks and started eating.
Gongsun Yu took the rabbit leg in his hand and saw that Qi'er was happy that he had something to eat. He thought about it and then started eating it himself.
Everyone ate game, admired the night above their heads, and enjoyed the silence of the night, which was also very pleasant.
After Qi'er was full, he looked around at the shady scene and said, "I don't know if it's safe here at night? Are there wolves, lions, tigers and leopards?"
Zhu Fu smiled and asked, "Looking at your fear, I know you have never slept in the mountains. There is fire here, and those wolves, lions, tigers and leopards dare not approach."
Qi'er glanced at him and said, "It's normal for me to be worried. There's not even a shelter from the wind around here. If you fall asleep, you won't know if it's taken away."
Yuzhu smiled and said, "There are so many people, what are you afraid of?"
"You guys don't know how hungry you are when you're hungry. Which one of you doesn't know kung fu? I don't have the strength to tie a chicken. If I were bitten in the throat, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to scream." Qi'er touched his neck and said, He quickly moved his body again and stayed close to Yuzhu.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw her scared look.
"Actually, I really dreamed of traveling all over the world and seeing all the mountains and rivers. I didn't have the chance to go out before. This time I have the opportunity to touch the mountains and rivers. I didn't even take a close look at the mountains and rivers. I walked as if I was reincarnated. I was so exhausted. I'm done!" He said, rubbing his legs.
Zhu Fu said, "You are actually very good. You can keep up with us even though you are pregnant. I was afraid of you all the way..."
"That's enough! Stop talking. My only goal now is to get to the capital as soon as possible." Qi'er thought that if she couldn't see Zhu Fu in the capital, no one would talk about her pregnancy, so she gave Zhu Fu a hard look. You are the topic stopper.”
Zhu Fu also felt aggrieved and said, "Actually, it's just the three of us who have a few words to say. Those three didn't talk much along the way."
Zhu Fu pointed to Gongsun Yu, Luan Yue and Gao Yan. The three of them were originally talking about being young, but now they have no reason to say anything.
No one spoke, just listening to the bonfire burning branches and making occasional crackling sounds.
Everyone was probably tired from the journey, so they all fell asleep soon. Qi'er lay down on a big rock next to Yuzhu to sleep. Gongsun Yu knew that it was cold late at night, so he took off his robe and slowly put it on Qi'er. Seeing the tiredness on her face, I couldn't bear it.
