Chapter 54

A little earlier.

Zhongli Chuchu followed Xu Buling and her Master, walking along the col to the depths.

When they arrived at the place where there were traces of enemies, in order to avoid being discovered by the hidden sentries, the three of them did not speak but just moved forward quietly. There was not even a sound in their ears. The atmosphere was so quiet that it seemed a little depressing.

Zhongli Chuchu's martial arts were not very good, and her experience in Jianghu was far less than her Master's, so she could not help them even if she followed them. With two people walking in front of her to protect her, she did not feel nervous. She just pretended to be serious and scanned the surroundings.

They walked through the dense bushes for a long time, and the sky gradually darkened.

Zhongli Chuchu did not know why, but she felt a little sleepy. As she walked, the road under her feet turned into grass, and there were more men and women in animal skins and hemp clothes around her. Some cattle and sheep were tied in the wooden fences in the distance.

Zhongli Chuchu was a little confused. She felt like she was dreaming and did not remember how she came here. She just looked at the familiar but very strange scene around her blankly.

However, before she could clearly see the people around her, a woman wearing a coarse dress appeared beside her. She pulled her little hand and walked towards the tent, saying a few words.

Her accent was very obscure, and Zhongli Chuchu could not understand it. But she understood that it was getting dark and they should go back to the tent.

Zhongli Chuchu looked at the woman who took her hand and found that her hand had become black and dirty. Her sleeves were also gray and hemp, and she was so thin that she looked like a dry twig.

This was …

Zhongli Chuchu stared at the figure in front of her, trying to see the face that she had tried so hard to recall many times.

But no matter how fast she walked, Zhongli Chuchu could only see a back, because the only impression she had when she was young was this back.

Soon, they returned to the small tent. Zhongli Chuchu did not know how she got in, but when she looked up again, the woman had already lifted the curtain and disappeared at the door.

The tent was very small, and the ground was covered with straw and tattered bedding that had been used for many years. There were a few small yellow bowls beside it. The whole world seemed to be only the grass on the ground and her eyes, which had bright colors.

Zhongli Chuchu shrank on the straw, holding her knees, and looked at the light outside the tent. She felt very uneasy, and felt that something terrible was going to happen, but she could not remember what it was.

Soon, the sky darkened, and the uneasiness in her heart grew stronger. Zhongli Chuchu hugged her knees and shrank back, and her eyes became more and more frightened.

Dong, Dong, Dong —

The earth was shaking.

The water bowl beside him was shaking, and the sound of hooves and mournful cries could be heard from outside.

Zhongli Chuchu's face turned pale. The fear that came from the bottom of her heart, a fear that she would never be able to calm in this life, erupted in an instant.

Chuchu cried.

Zhongli Chuchu shouted out in a trembling voice. She wanted to get up and run out to look for that woman, but found that her legs were not listening to her and she could not stand up at all.

Blood and fire, smoke and screams filled the whole world. The gray tent was sprinkled with blood, and the shadows of sharp teeth and claws swayed quickly around.

The shouts and footsteps became more and more intense. Soon, she saw a woman in a sackcloth dress falling at the door. Her body was covered in blood, and her hands were full of scars. She wanted to pull her up, but she fell to the ground halfway and couldn't move anymore.

"Ah — mother …"

Zhongli Chuchu looked at all this in fear. She wanted to escape, but she could not stand up. She could only hold her head, look at the gap of the curtain, look at the bloodstained hand, and cry.

Ta, ta, ta —

The footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Zhongli Chuchu kicked the straw on the ground with all her might. Tears and despair filled her eyes. She wanted to escape, but she could not.

Soon, the curtain was pulled open, and Zhongli Chuchu screamed in fear. She picked up the small bowl in her hand and wanted to throw it, but when she saw the figure coming in, she froze.

Outside the curtain, a man in white ran in with a bloodstained sword in his hand. His eyes were anxious and concerned. His tall body and the sharp sword in his hand seemed to be able to block all the fear and despair in the world.

"Chu Chu?!"

"Young Master Xu …"

Zhongli Chuchu felt like she was grasping at the last straw of hope. She reached out and tried to grab the man in front of her.

The man in white quickly walked in front of her, squatted down, and hugged her.

The warm embrace was very real, even more real than when she was pulled by the woman. She was carried out of the tent, but the outside had turned into a boundless desert. There were no enemies or blood.

Zhongli Chuchu hugged the man's neck tightly, and said something incoherently, but she did not know what she wanted to say. Tears filled her cheeks, and she cried loudly, venting the fear and relief in her heart …

"Wu wu …"

…

"Chu Chu, it's okay, I'm here …"

The sky was dark. Under a small stone cliff in the mountains, Xu Buling leaned against the stone wall, hugged Chu Chu tightly, and comforted her softly.

Zhongli Chuchu was the weakest, and she was the least guarded. Obviously, she was unable to extricate herself from the Ecstasy Fragrance. Her eyes were full of tears, and she hugged Xu Buling and sobbed, and her tears wet her clothes.

The little sparrow stood guard on a branch, and Zhongli Jiujiu used the branch to cover her tracks. She also sat in front of him, and put the little green snake into a wooden box.

The Ecstasy Fragrance was obviously concocted by an expert from the Insect Swarm Valley, and it was very strong. No matter how strong Xu Buling's body was, it was difficult for him to recover quickly, and he could only use the pungent smell to forcefully refresh himself. But the smell was too strong, and after a long time, he instinctively began to hold his breath, and then he began to be absent-minded.

Xu Buling was already invincible in the world, and he subconsciously did not lack a sense of security, and there was nothing to be afraid of. Even if he was absent-minded, the hallucinations that appeared were not scary. He either saw Jiujiu playing with her tail, or saw Chu Chu undressing in his arms, and sometimes the master and disciple came together, which made the fire in his heart burn.

Fortunately, he had smeared the pungent medicine under his nose, and breathing was instinctive. When he was absent-minded, he would naturally take a breath, and once he took a breath, he would wake up, and he did not do anything out of line.

Zhong Li Jiujiu really could not stand the pungent smell of the medicine, but with Xu Buling in front of her to protect her, she did not force herself to suffer. She just closed her eyes and tried to bear it, waiting for the effect of the medicine to pass.

Unfortunately, it did not last long, and Zhong Li Jiujiu began to hallucinate. She began to move closer to Xu Buling, undid the cloth buttons on her lapel, and even untied Chu Chu's belt.

Zhong Li Chuchu was confused, as if she had drunk too much. She recognized who the two people in front of her were, but she could not think for herself at all, and could only react based on instinct.

After the fear of childhood was suppressed, Zhong Li Chuchu fell into the dilemma of the person she loved being taken away by the person closest to her. At this time, she was holding Xu Buling, and her face was pressed against Xu Buling's chest. When she saw her master's hand reaching over, she was obviously a little resistant, and wanted to push her master away. But when she raised her hand, she could not bear to do so, and could only murmur faintly,

"Master, how can you do this? You know I like him … You like me the most, how can you do this … "

When Zhong Li Jiujiu heard her words, she came back to her senses a little, withdrew her hand, and comforted her softly,

"Chu Chu, wake up."

Unknowingly, Xu Buling was hugging her left and right. Both master and disciple were not well-behaved, and both of them were rubbing against him. If it were any other time, he would have accepted it obediently. But now, he had to pay attention to the movements outside, so he could only shake his silly wife.

"Jiujiu, wake up first. Why are you taking off your clothes?"

Zhong Li Jiujiu was at a loss. She knew that she could not withstand it with just her willpower, so she could only take out a small porcelain bottle, wipe her nose, and apply some on Chu Chu.

"Uh …"

Zhongli Chuchu leaned against Xu Buling's chest, and was imagining the sweet scene of the two of them sitting in the sea of flowers. Then, an indescribably pungent smell rushed to her head, and the world in front of her was shattered into pieces.

With such a stimulation, Zhongli Chuchu naturally woke up. Her eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and her body was tense. Her fingers almost scratched Xu Buling's neck, and she held it for a long time before she could breathe again.

"It smells so bad. What … what's wrong …"

Zhongli Chuchu felt as if she was suddenly awakened from a dream. She looked at Xu Buling in front of her blankly, and her master, who was fitting clothes, in front of her. After a while, messy memories came into her mind, and she realized that she had been drugged.

Zhongli Chuchu sensed that something was wrong, and quickly took a deep breath, but she almost fainted because of the pungent smell.

Xu Buling looked at Chu Chu's naive look and chuckled softly. However, when he took a deep breath, he was also choked by the pungent smell, so he quickly held his breath.

After Zhongli Chuchu recovered, her hands were still around Xu Buling's neck. Perhaps the experience just now was too terrifying, so she did not dare to let go. She was afraid that if she let go, she would fall into the unforgettable despair and fear of her childhood. She even reached out and held Zhongli Jiujiu tightly.

"Master, are you all right?"

Xu Buling looked calm. "I'm fine. I was accidentally hit. I'll be fine after a little rest."

Zhongli Jiujiu's eyes were full of concern. She leaned against Xu Buling's arms and held Chu Chu's hand.

"Chu Chu, what did you see just now? You were so hysterical that you seemed to be scared silly. "

Zhongli Chuchu pursed her lips. She did not want to recall what happened in her childhood at all. She had thought that she had long forgotten it, but after experiencing it again just now, she understood how desperate it was to be abandoned by the whole world.

Compared with the fear in her childhood, the dissatisfaction, confusion, embarrassment, and so on were even a very good feeling. At least this feeling showed that she was still a living person.

Zhongli Chuchu looked at her Master, then looked at Xu Buling who was beside her. She hesitated for a moment, then muttered in a low voice:

"Nothing. It's just … I suddenly found that you were gone."

Xu Buling shook his head and held her a little tighter.

"Relax. The effect of the drug should be gone soon."

"Okay."

Zhongli Chuchu put her arms around Xu Buling's neck, thought for a moment, and leaned her cheek back against Xu Buling's chest. At the same time, she also put her master's hand in her arms and held it tightly.

Zhongli Jiujiu blinked. When she saw that Chu Chu was suddenly not shy, she was naturally secretly happy. She also leaned her head on Xu Buling's shoulder, closed her eyes, and smiled.

The three of them had a pungent drug under their noses. When they spoke, they had to breathe, and when they breathed, they had to breathe. In order to avoid suffering, they did not speak.

Xu Buling held the two beauties in his arms. Under the effect of the drug, he inevitably felt a little restless. He pinched the waist of the master and disciple. When he came to his senses, he quickly took a breath and became sober.

Zhongli Chuchu was sober. She noticed that Xu Buling was pinching her, but she did not have any reaction. She even looked at Xu Buling and said faintly,

"Touch if you want … Anyway, it's like this."

This sentence could be considered as a compromise.

Xu Buling looked at the green eyes in front of him. Although he did not understand the reason, he knew that Chu Chu did not care about the relationship between the three of them. He thought for a moment and said with a smile,

"Don't talk. The longer you hold it in, the less pain you will suffer."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and blocked Chu Chu's mouth.

"Um …"

Zhongli Chuchu's body was slightly stiff, but she did not show her usual embarrassment. She just stared at Xu Buling and slowly closed her eyes.

Zhong Li Jiujiu leaned on the side, watching her disciple and her husband hugging and kissing each other. At first, she was silly, but after watching for a moment, she gradually felt uncomfortable and a little redundant.

Zhong Li Jiujiu pursed her lips and felt sour. After a moment, she gently squeezed Xu Buling with her shoulder, indicating that Xu Buling should share the rain and dew …

The night was quiet and beautiful, and the mountains were quiet.

The little sparrow stood alone on a branch outside the cliff, seriously acting as a sentry.

Strange sounds came from behind. The little sparrow turned around and found that its masters, who had accidentally fallen into the trap, still had the time to be intimate. It felt a little helpless and looked up at the moon in the sky, as if saying,

Bird's heart is bitter …
