"Brother Ye, look! There's a pavilion in front of us. Let's go there to take shelter from the rain!" Ning Caichen suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed ahead excitedly.
Ye Xuan looked. There was indeed a pavilion in front of them. He nodded with a smile and urged his horse forward. After a short while, they arrived at the pavilion.
"Aiya, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. Fortunately, we have this grassy pavilion. Otherwise, we would really be like a drowned rat like what you said, Brother Ye." Ning Caichen stood beside the grassy pavilion and said while looking at the rain that was getting heavier outside.
"It's okay. But I think this is a thunderstorm. It won't rain for long. It will clear up soon," Ye Xuan said to Ning Caichen with a smile as he stood beside the pavilion and looked at the sky outside.
"Really? Hehe!" Ning Caichen didn't understand the new words that came out of Ye Xuan's mouth, but he was too embarrassed to ask. He smiled, walked back to the pavilion, found a stone, and sat down. He said, "Alas, it's past noon. Brother Ye, are you hungry? Come, I've brought some dry food. Let's eat together!"
As he spoke, Ning Caichen searched in his book case and took out a bag of dry food wrapped in cloth. He opened it on his knees and revealed a discolored steamed bun.
"Uh, why is there only one?" Seeing only one steamed bun, Ning Caichen frowned and muttered. Then he picked it up and said to Ye Xuan, "Come, Brother Ye, this steamed bun is for you!"
Looking at the steamed bun in Ning Caichen's hand, Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows and shook his head with a smile. "No need, Brother Ning. I've brought my own dry food!"
"Brother Ye, you've brought dry food too?" Ning Caichen looked up and down, left and right, but there was no trace of a bag on Ye Xuan's body or on the horse. Ning Caichen thought Ye Xuan was too embarrassed to eat the steamed bun. He said with a smile, "Brother Ye, you're welcome. Come, I'm a little full this morning. Aren't you hungry? Take this steamed bun first. When I get the bill, I'll treat you to a good meal! "
"There's really no need, Brother Ning, I really brought dry rations!" Seeing how enthusiastic Ning Caichen was, Ye Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he shook his head. Then, he walked to the side of the horse and put his hand into the saddle. When he came out, there was an oiled paper bag in his hand. "Then, you see, Brother Ning, I'm not being polite with you, I really did bring dry rations!"
"There are really dried rations?!" Looking at the dry food in Ye Xuan's hand and then at the saddle, Ning Caichen was a little confused. Why did he hide the dry food in the saddle? Was he afraid that someone would steal it?
Of course, the package was not taken out from the saddle. Instead, it was taken from his storage space.
Opening the package, there were a few pancakes that Ye Xuan had bought on the way. They were still steaming as if they had just been baked.
"Brother Ning. I just bought some pancakes in the last county. Let's eat them together! "Ye Xuan opened the package and handed it to Ning Caichen.
"No. No, no, I have some. I'll just eat the steamed bun, hehe! " Ning Caichen glanced at the steaming pancake in front of him and raised the steamed bun in his hand to his mouth.
Crack!
Suddenly, a slight sound came from Ning Caichen's mouth. Ning Caichen was holding the steamed bun in his hand, but his face showed a trace of pain.
"What's wrong, Brother Ning?" Ye Xuan asked Ning Caichen with a smile at the corner of his mouth. He had noticed the pain on Ning Caichen's face.
"Ah, that, nothing, nothing!" Ning Caichen glanced at the steamed bun in his hand and quickly put it behind his back. He smiled awkwardly at Ye Xuan and shook his head.
Seeing Ning Caichen's embarrassed look, Ye Xuan didn't expose him. He pretended to be ignorant and turned his head to look at the rain with the pancake in his hand.
Seeing Ye Xuan turn around, Ning Caichen heaved a sigh of relief. He took out the steamed bun hidden behind his back and glared at it with hatred. Then, he raised his hand and used all his strength to throw it into the grass in the distance.
Of course, Ning Caichen's actions could not be hidden from Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan had a panoramic view of all of Ning Caichen's actions. Seeing Ning Caichen throw away the steamed bun in hatred, a smile flashed across the corner of Ye Xuan's mouth.
Suddenly, Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look in the direction where Ning Caichen threw the steamed bun.
Seeing Ye Xuan turn his head to look in the direction where he threw the steamed bun, Ning Caichen's face flashed with a trace of panic. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, Brother Ye, I …"
"Kill! — "
"Ha! I'll kill you! "
"Don't run! Let's kill him together!"
Suddenly, a group of strong men with swords and sabers emerged from the grass and ran toward them.
"Ah!" Seeing these people suddenly rushing out, Ning Caichen was startled. He didn't understand. He had just thrown a steamed bun. Was there a need to fight and kill them?
Just when Ning Caichen thought he was in trouble, a burly man with a sword suddenly appeared behind this group of people. This burly man dashed forward quickly and slashed at the first person who ran out.
Clang! Clang! — "
Pfft! Pfft! — "
After the strong man rushed forward, he was like a tiger falling into a flock of sheep. In a few seconds, he killed most of the strong men.
"Sir, spare my life. I'll return your money!" Seeing that the man was so powerful, the remaining strong man knelt down in fear. He took the backpack in his hand and pleaded.
"Give it to me!" The man snatched the backpack from the strong man's hand. Then, he looked at the strong man kneeling on the ground and said angrily, "How dare you steal my money. You deserve to die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man waved the sword in his hand and slashed at the man's neck.
Ye Xuan looked at the strong man who killed people in front of him and raised his eyebrows. He remembered that there seemed to be such a person in the original plot. He seemed to be a swordsman who competed with Yan Chixia for the world's number one. His name seemed to be Xia Houjie. However, this guy seemed to be unlucky. He met Xiaoqian not long after he appeared in the game.
After Xia Houjie killed people and snatched back his things, he looked at the grass pavilion next to him. Then, he looked at Ning Caichen, who was pale with fear, and Ye Xuan, who was calm at the side. Then, he walked in carelessly with his sword in hand.
Seeing that Xia Houjie had killed so many people in broad daylight, Ning Caichen had already regarded him as a bandit and a homicidal maniac. Seeing that Xia Houjie actually walked into the grass pavilion, he quickly walked to Ye Xuan's side with a pale face and looked at Xia Houjie in horror.
Feeling the fear in Ning Caichen's heart, Ye Xuan sighed and thought that Ning Caichen was indeed a weak scholar. However, when he thought about how he dared to venture into the underworld with Yan Chixia for the sake of Xiaoqian, he had to admit that love was really a great thing.
"Brother Ning, come. I can't finish this pancake alone. How about you help me eat a few?" Ye Xuan handed the pancake to Ning Caichen to divert his attention.
Ning Caichen didn't have so many thoughts. When he saw the pancake that Ye Xuan handed to him, he didn't stand on ceremony. He directly took it in his hand and ate it in a few bites.
After Xia Houjie walked in, he glanced at the two of them and put his sword beside his hand. Then, he took out a white steamed bun from his bosom and started to eat it.
After eating the white steamed bun, Xia Houjie didn't stay any longer. He picked up his sword and walked into the rain.
Seeing that Xia Houjie had left the grass pavilion, Ning Caichen heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he looked at the remaining half of the pancake in his hand. Only then did he remember that he had eaten three pancakes in one go. He couldn't help but smile awkwardly at Ye Xuan …
