No wonder she said at that time, only two branches and leaves were taken.
I see.
Xiao Yuan nodded with sudden realization and said happily: "I didn't expect that you, a saint from the Snow Clan, would also participate in the struggle between the rivers and lakes."
"I just want to take two leaves and study the pharmacopoeia." Mu Lianying said softly.
Xiao Yuan understood, stood up and stretched out his hand: "Can we leave? Let's leave here as soon as possible."
This action made her face blush again.
But as soon as he pulled her up, Xiao Yuan used a little force to bring her into his arms, and put his arms around her waist.
"You!" She was caught off guard, her soft and warm breath was right in front of her, and when she lowered her head for a moment, her lips could touch hers.
Before she could say anything, Xiao Yuan asked with a smile: "Tell me the truth, have you ever thought about me."
"No...no..." Mu Lianying panicked all of a sudden, her heart racing, and she even forgot to push him away. She only dodged her beautiful eyes, not daring to look at him, and her face turned red.
Seeing this cold beauty who didn't eat the fireworks of the world, looking like this now, Xiao Yuan smiled warmly and said: "You are lying."
"I, I didn't."
She denied it and continued to be evasive.
Xiao Yuan stopped talking, lowered his head slightly, and kissed her lips.
Her eyes widened for a moment before she realized what she was doing and pushed him away with all her strength.
How could it be possible for the two of them to not have any feelings for each other from the time they first met to getting along with each other?
Xiao Yuan had no choice but to put away King Qin's sword and handed the jade flute to her, "Let's go."
"Shameless." She said in a low voice, the blush on her face getting more and more attractive, but she still didn't dare to look at Xiao Yuan, she took the jade flute and left the cave as if running away.
Seeing that the cold beauty who used to be so calm and unconventional was now flustered, Xiao Yuan couldn't say how happy he was.
He put on his coat and followed Mu Lianying out of the cave. He looked at the surroundings side by side and held her little hand again, "Let's go this way."
"You, please let me go." She struggled, her face red.
"Don't let go." Xiao Yuan wanted to break her iceberg: "Why should I let go when I'm with the person I like, huh?"
He said seriously, looking at her with warm eyes.
"You..." Mu Lianying was flustered. She only looked at him for a moment, then quickly dodged.
He held her little hand and began to look for a way out.
There were thick trees all around and it was difficult to tell the direction. Xiao Yuan could only judge a general direction based on the feeling when he came.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they still didn't see the cliff. It was obvious that they had gone astray.
Fortunately, the surroundings are no longer those deep mountains and wild forests, but there are some traces of pedestrians.
"There is a road here. We should be approaching a nearby village soon." Xiao Yuan observed for a moment: "Can we still walk? Why don't we take a rest first."
"No need." She shook her head gently, her little hand still being held by him, her beautiful eyes flowing, and she couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yuan.
The two of them followed this well-trodden path, winding downwards. Half an hour later, they reached the foot of the mountain, and the front suddenly became clear.
Not far away, there is a house with a civil structure and some hay on the roof.
The two came to the house, and Xiao Yuan raised his hand and knocked on the old wooden door.
"Who is it..." Not long after, a woman's voice came from inside, and then the wooden door was opened.
Standing inside was a village woman, young, in her twenties, with an apron tied around her waist. She was obviously taken aback when she saw the two of them.
Xiao Yuan is a handsome young man dressed in brocade clothes, with hair tied in jade hairpins, while Mu Lianying is dressed in white clothes like snow, with graceful hair ornaments, and is extremely beautiful.
A King of Qin and an otherworldly girl. Although they had just come out of the mountains and were somewhat embarrassed, they could not stop their own temperament.
There was only one family in the neighborhood. The woman probably didn't expect such two people to come. After being stunned, she wiped her hands on her apron at a loss, "You two are..."
"Madam, don't be surprised." Xiao Yuan cupped his hands and said with a smile, "It's only because the two of us got lost in the mountains that we came here."
After hearing this, the woman understood and said with a smile: "Oh, what kind of lady am I? You city people are so polite, please come in."
"It's really annoying." Xiao Yuan said politely.
The house was not big, but farmers at that time had yards. After entering, the woman began to shout into the house: "Daniu, we have a guest..."
"Who is it?" Following a male voice, a man missing his left arm walked out of the main room.
Seeing Xiao Yuan and the two of them, he was also stunned. He seemed to be confused that he had no such relatives at all.
The woman quickly stepped forward and explained to him.
After hearing this, the man nodded as if he suddenly understood, "It turned out to be a lost person, I guess it must be a couple."
"Aren't you talking nonsense? They are like a golden boy and a beautiful girl. Of course they are a couple made in heaven." The woman rolled her eyes at the man.
Mu Lianying's pretty face was slightly red, and she lowered her head shyly, but she made no excuse.
Xiao Yuan took advantage of the situation and said: "Indeed, my husband and I accidentally got lost and finally got out of this deep mountain. We did not mean to cause trouble."
"Hey? Brother, what are you talking about? As the saying goes, you are a guest from afar. There is no need to bother you." Although the man was one-armed, he was very bold. After speaking, he also said to his wife: "Hurry up and get ready. Some food and wine, I think this big brother and this girl have been hungry for a long time."
"Oh, I'll go right away." The woman responded.
After they left, the man invited Xiao Yuan and Mu Lianying into the main room. While pouring some tea, he said: "It's really easy to get lost in the deep mountains nearby. Since we met, it's fate, and the two of you also There’s no need to be too formal, it’s just that as a mountain person, I don’t have much to entertain distinguished guests, I only have simple meals, so I’m afraid I’ll be neglectful.”
"Brother is too polite." Xiao Yuan smiled kindly and secretly took the broken silver handed over by Mu Lianying, "I'm sorry for bothering you, but I hope I can accept it."
When he saw the money, the man pushed his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, I can't accept this. You said you were lost. How can I not entertain you when you come to my house? This is the foundation of human nature. I dare not forget it."
The farmers in the mountains are simple and honest.
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but look at Mu Lianying, and instead of forcing it, he put the money on the table, then subconsciously looked around, and saw a sword hanging on the wall.
"Have you ever been a soldier?" He couldn't help but ask, because he was so familiar with the sword and it belonged to the Qin army.
"Yes." The man sighed and looked at his left arm: "This arm was lost on the battlefield. At that time, I killed several ghost soldiers!"
"Then you should be a meritorious soldier, why are you still living here?" Xiao Yuan frowned secretly.
