In the 17th year of Yuanlong, the Tusai, Qiding, Weihu and Gaoyantuo tribes of the Tie'e tribe made an appointment to attack the town customs. The Gaoyantuo tribe betrayed their faith and stayed in the north of the miasma leaf forest. The three tribes of Ding and Wei were defeated by Xu Changsheng's army. They abandoned their helmets and armor and fled into the grassland. Gaoyantuo tribe's Khan Bamusa and the high priest Qigu took the opportunity to make a sneak attack and annexed the weak Tusse tribe, and fought with Qiding. , Wei Falcon divided its territory, bluffed and grabbed the biggest piece. It was more than a month later that the Qiding and Wei Hu tribes learned that the Gao Yantuo tribe had suffered heavy losses in the northern part of the miasma leaf forest and that the cavalry had suffered heavy losses.
The man and woman who made Bamusa gnash their teeth and hate them did not return to Kunlun, but stepped into the grassland of the Tiebou people.
Qi Gu used secret techniques to escape. The cavalrymen of Gaoyantuo tribe abandoned the bodies of their companions and dispersed. Only the circling vultures were left on the grassland, spreading the smell of death.
Wei Shiqi brought an ownerless war horse, collected some dry food and put it on the horse's back. He picked up Yu Yao, and the two rode together towards the vast grassland. The long-suffering vultures finally flew down, pushing each other, stretching their necks to devour the internal organs of the dead bodies.
Yu Yao just lost her strength and was not seriously injured. After a while, she slowly woke up. In front of her was the endless grassland, the sky was dazzlingly blue, and the white clouds quietly changed their shapes. She seemed to have made a distant journey. Dream, lazy, my mind is blank.
The wind blew from the north, the grassland undulated like waves, the sound of hoofbeats sounded, and the horses snorted. Yu Yao found herself leaning in Wei Shiqi's arms, and he put one hand around her waist, The other hand held the reins and headed in an unknown direction. She didn't struggle, she just moved his hand away, sat upright, and let the horse take her far away.
The whole journey was silent. At nightfall, Wei Shiqi pulled the reins, jumped off the horse, and reached out to Yu Yao. Yu Yao glanced at him a few times, ignored him, slid off the horse from the other side, folded her arms with her hands, and walked around casually.
There was no one in the surrounding fields, the night shrouded the grassland, the stars were swaying, and the night wind howled, making people cry like they were complaining. Yu Yao breathed a long sigh of relief, put her messy long hair back into a bun, inserted a hosta, looked up at the starry sky, and felt relaxed.
Wei Shiqi lit up a fire, roasted the dry food until soft and put it on the grass. Yu Yao came to the fire and sat down, stretched out her arm, took a piece, broke it into pieces and put it in her mouth. , chewing slowly.
There was no refusal. This was a good start. Wei Shiqi didn't want to push her too hard, so he got up and mounted his horse and ran towards the dark grassland.
Half an hour later, he returned to the fire with a clean and skinned wild wolf, roasted a front leg and handed it to Yu Yao. Yu Yao took it silently and only tasted a little. The wolf meat was too rough to be eaten, so he threw it back to him.
Wei Shiqi was not picky either. He ate and roasted the meat, throwing the big bones into the fire until they burned white, and he broke them to suck the hot marrow.
Yu Yao looked at the jumping fire and said: "Thank you for saving me."
"It's a little effort, you're welcome."
"Around here Is there water?? I want to wash my feet. "
"Not far to the west, there is a stream with very clean water. ”
“Then go ahead, it’s troublesome. ”
Wei Shiqi led the horse over, got on the horse, bent down and stretched out his hand. This time, Yu Yao did not refuse him, took a hand and sat in front of him, bent her elbow on his chest He nodded and said, "Don't get too close, I don't like it. ”
Wei Shiqi kicked the horse’s belly and galloped towards the west. In no time, a bright stream stretched across the grassland, winding southward and disappearing into the distance.
< p>Yu Yao jumped off the horse, sat down by the stream, took off her shoes and socks, and soaked her feet comfortably in the stream. The dried blood gradually faded, and the skin on her feet was as white as jade.Wei. Shi Qi walked upstream and drank some water, wiped his face, poured water over his head and face, shook his head vigorously, feeling cool and refreshing. Yu Yao frowned slightly when she saw his actions, and raised her feet. He lifted it out of the water, waited for a moment, and then carefully immersed it in the water again.
"How does it feel to die once?" "
Yu Yao tilted her head and thought for a moment, then laughed dumbly and said: "I don't know. My heart suddenly became very calm, as if I had let go of something. ”
“Don’t you want revenge? "
Yu Yao bent down and fiddled with the stream, watching her own reflection blurring under the moonlight, and said: "I think, but there is no way, I am just a weak woman, I look very strong, but in fact Not confident at all... Are you still willing to help me? ”
“Why did you suddenly figure it out? "
"The world is so big that you can never find another person to teach you Xiaoyue Kung Fu. If I don't agree to it, you will insist on it. Rather than doing this, it is better to keep a little bit of hope." Hopefully, anyway, the worst outcome is to die all over again, and I'm not afraid at all. "
"Let's make a deal. You teach me Xiaoyue Kung Fu, and I'll help you solve Taiyi Sect. Regardless of whether it can be done or not, just like you said, keep a slim hope. "
"Ha, even the head of Kunlun dare not say that he will solve the Taiyi Sect. You, a new disciple of xiaoxiao, are not afraid of letting your tongue slip when you speak big words. ”
“Xiao Yue Gong is a skill of the Yun Ya Sect. Let me ask you, since the Yun Ya Sect was founded, has anyone made progress better than mine?
Yu Yao glanced at him again and again, took out a handkerchief from the storage bracelet to dry the water on her feet, put on new shoes and socks, and said: "It's not a relative, it's not a friend, it's just empty talk." , why should I believe you? "
Wei Shiqi was speechless. Winning the trust of others is a luxury. Looking back on himself, it seems that he can't find anyone who can trust him without reservation.
< p>Yu Yao knew his reaction well, and she had no intention of embarrassing him. She was about to say something when she suddenly noticed the gray mark on the back of his left hand, which looked like a tattoo, a scar, and a patch.“What’s with the scar on the back of your hand? ”
"I was accidentally scratched by the wild boar's tusks while hunting."
Yu Yao walked up to him, took his left hand, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said flatly: "Liar. ! "
This is the first time Wei Shiqi has seen her look like a child.
