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, I found that the mountain road was high and low, surrounded by trees, and the road became increasingly lost as I walked. The stream is formed by the convergence of many forks. When they encountered a fork in the road, the two 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 roasting it. The two of them shared the food and ate it. It was quite enjoyable, and he would stop to rest when he was tired. At night, the deep valleys were heavy with dew, and he was afraid that she would be cold, so he never forgot to collect firewood and let her cuddle up to keep warm.
During these days, when Nalan Fengjin fell into the valley, she used her inner strength to protect her body. The golden needles of 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 There are no outsiders in the deep valley. It doesn't matter.
Du Yuze never spoke much, but he somehow 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 helpless.
The way he looked at her was always gentle, making Nalan Fengjin feel warm all the time. I actually thought it would be good to just keep going like this. I don’t want anything, it’s fine just 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 path 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 I had guessed some of the answers, I 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 Du Yuze had jumped down first that day, would she have followed suit regardless of her life? This answer remained unsolved for several days. Then he reluctantly asked him if he wanted anything else? He smiled and asked her, "What else should I do?"
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 could occasionally be seen. It was a bit strange, when I was hesitating which way to go at a fork in the road, I spotted a green snake meandering along. There are many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the mountains. It is not surprising that snakes appear, but this snake happened to be encountered by Nalan Fengjin. The snake under Nalan Fengjin’s hair turned out to be a rare venomous snake. The venom is 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 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 felt playful. They 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 he found a cave nearby, got into it, and disappeared.
Seeing the green snake disappear, Nalan Fengjin had no choice but to stop and turn back 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."
Without going back, they all started looking 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 continued walking along the stream, but they came to a natural bamboo forest.
