In the pit, the young man was leaning against the stone wall. He reeked of blood and half of his body was buried under the wolf's corpse. He was covered in wounds, but he was still in the mood for romance.
He looked at her with a pair of bright eyes. They were full of surprise, but there was no trace of joy.
He Yan blurted out, "Xiao … Commander in Chief, why are you here?"
At this time, she thought that no one would come. In fact, after thinking about it carefully, the possibility of Zheng Xuan finding someone to save her was very slim. Shen Hong was so timid that she probably wouldn't dare to say anything after a little threat. Since she couldn't count on others, she could only rely on herself. He Yan originally wanted to stay here until dawn and wait for the blood on her body to dry. She wanted to recover her strength and then think of a way to climb out of the pit. She didn't expect that someone would come to save her, and she didn't expect that the person would be Xiao Jue.
Xiao Jue didn't answer her question. She only asked, "Can you come up by yourself?"
He Yan replied, "No."
The pit was crudely made, but it was too deep. She had no strength in her legs and couldn't climb up.
Xiao Jue looked at her, then turned and left. He Yan was confused. What did he mean? He left just like that?
After a while, he came back with a long object in his hand. He Yan looked at it carefully. Wasn't this the bamboo stick that she broke? Although it was broken in two, it just happened to extend from the top. He Yan could hold it.
Xiao Jue half-knelt beside the pit and extended the bamboo stick down. "Hold on."
He Yan was speechless for a moment. She could only accept her fate and hold on. She thought to herself, "That's right. Do you expect Xiao Jue to fly down and carry you out?" She felt a chill just thinking about it.
This person looked like a beautiful jade, but he was very strong. He Yan held on to the bamboo stick, and he pulled it up with one hand. When they were about to reach the exit, he extended a hand to He Yan, indicating that He Yan should hold on to him.
That hand's joints were distinct, slender and beautiful. He Yan was about to reach out his hand, but halfway through, his hand froze in the air. Her hands were stained with blood from the fight with the wolf. She didn't know whether it was wolf blood or human blood, but her hands were sticky. This blood-stained hand, when placed next to Xiao Jue's jade-white hand, was really unsightly.
Xiao Jue loved cleanliness the most. He Yan was a little hesitant. However, the man seemed to be impatient. Without waiting for her to figure out what to do, he reached forward, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her up.
There was no longer the suffocating smell of blood from the pit outside, and the sky suddenly became much larger. Stars filled the sky as if they were about to fall from the sky. Countless bright stars gathered together as if they were about to illuminate the entire world.
She turned to look at Xiao Jue.
The young man stood up, threw away the bamboo stick, and stared at her. After a while, he said, "You killed a wolf?"
He Yan didn't understand what kind of question was this. She smiled. "Yes, I almost died. I didn't bring any weapons, so I was smashed to death with Shi Tou. I was even bitten twice."
Blood seeped out from the young man's sleeves and dyed his originally red robe a dark color. However, her expression was normal, and she asked indifferently, "Why did the Commander in Chief come here personally? Where are the others? "
"It's too late. I came up alone." He tapped his fingers. He Yan saw that there was a horse not far away. The horse was not tied up, and when it saw Xiao Jue's actions, it obediently ran to Xiao Jue's side. He Yan saw its green ears under the moonlight. His heart skipped a beat. Everyone knew that General Fengyun loved to ride a horse. It traveled thousands of miles in a day and chased after the wind and lightning. Its name was Green Ears. He didn't expect to see it here today.
"Then, are we … going back now?" He Yan asked hesitantly.
Xiao Jue looked at her incredulously. "You want to spend the night here?"
"No, not at all." He Yan explained. "I mean, there's no one else here. There's only one horse …" Could it be that Xiao Jue wanted her to follow him all the way? Wasn't that too tragic? Tragic beyond compare!
He patted Green Ears' head, and the horse obediently lowered its head. Xiao Jue looked at her. "Get on."
"Huh … Me?" He Yan was shocked.
Xiao Jue was willing to let her ride this peerless horse? Did she hear wrongly?
Xiao Jue's mouth twitched. "If you want to walk back, it's not impossible."
"No, no, no, I can!" He Yan replied. "I'm just too happy!"
What kind of day was it today? She actually got to ride the legendary Green Ears. He Yan just wanted to laugh out loud. She limped over to Green Ear's side. This horse was extremely tall and mighty. Originally, the act of flipping onto the horse should have been very dashing. Unfortunately, her entire body was covered in injuries. Even if she wanted to be dashing, she couldn't. She could only grab the saddle with one hand and try to climb up.
He Yan's leg was injured. Her arm was bitten by a wolf. When she exerted force, the blood that had just dried up immediately seeped out. In the blink of an eye, half of her sleeve was wet. Her face was as usual. Her face was already pale, but she still had a smile on her face. Big drops of sweat rolled down her forehead and her hair was wet.
This person didn't know how embarrassing she was. Xiao Jue raised her eyebrows slightly.
He Yan was still climbing up with her hands and feet. Suddenly, someone's voice came from above. He said, "Don't you feel pain?"
He Yan was stunned. In the next moment, someone grabbed her waist and pulled her up. Before she could cry out in surprise, she was already sitting on the back of the horse. There was another person behind her, and the faint scent of Moon Qilin drifted over, disturbing her thoughts.
"Sit tight." Xiao Jue said.
He Yan couldn't describe her feelings at this moment.
She really didn't expect Xiao Jue to carry her onto the horse's back … It should be a hug, right? She didn't feel it clearly. It was too fast. But now, he was sitting behind her. He Yan was petite and her head was leaning against his chest. It was like … like she was in his arms.
She was frightened by her own thoughts. Subconsciously, she didn't feel shy, but scared. Xiao Jue wasn't a romantic person. Moreover, she was a man now. Was everything that happened today just a dream?
Xiao Jue urged the horse to leave. He Yan said, "Wait, wait!"
He asked, "What's wrong now?"
"Look at that wolf." He Yan pointed at the wolf's corpse in the pit. "It wasn't easy for me to kill it. It's a pity to just leave it here."
The man replied coldly, "What do you want?"
"Take it with us?" He Yan asked tentatively.
After a while, the young man sneered, "Yes."
"Really?" He Yan turned around in surprise. "Commander in chief, you're such a good person!" She didn't expect much.
He curved his lips and looked indifferent. "Let it come up. You get off."
He Yan was speechless.
She said, "Pretend I didn't say anything."
The horse took two steps and she turned around again. She almost bumped into Xiao Jue. "Why don't I go down and skin the wolf before leaving? It's going to be autumn soon. The weather is cold. Wouldn't it be better to make a pair of wolf skin boots?"
She was answered with two heartless words.
"Shut up."
