Chapter 282 Unprecedented
From the moment they stepped into Ailao Mountain, everyone seemed to have stepped into another world.
The setting sun shines through the dense canopy of trees and casts dappled light on the ground.
The surroundings were filled with the smell of damp earth and rotting leaves. With every step Xie Fengyue took, the fallen leaves would rustle, as if creatures deep in the forest were whispering.
The surrounding trees were tall and dense, and their crowns intertwined to form dark corridors. Occasionally, the wind carries an indescribable smell, and the leaves will roar, which makes people shudder.
There were at least one hundred and sixty-seven people in their group, and they all fell silent from the moment they entered.
Under this situation, when Xie Fengyue spoke again, it was particularly clear: "The road is still easy to walk now. When the sky is clear, be sure to pay attention to safety. If you are in danger, save it."
Her words were just a reminder, and she didn't expect a reply from others.
However, the people left now are those who are mentally tough or trust her wholeheartedly.
As soon as Xie Fengyue finished speaking, the refugees wearing old coats all replied: "Here."
This reply caused the birds in the forest to scatter in all directions, and also made Xie Fengyue's heart tighten.
For the first time, she truly felt that she was controlling other people's lives at this moment.
You Heng seemed to feel something and looked sideways at her with a particularly gentle expression: "Don't worry, it's safe."
Xie Fengyue pursed her lips and nodded.
Although the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, she will never give up as long as she is determined.
The group of people walked silently through the faint light, and did not stop until they could no longer see their fingers.
The government soldiers were well-trained and began to make fires to cook with local materials. Xie Fengyue sat by the campfire with a focused expression, using the firelight to confirm again whether there were any mistakes in the marching route.
You Heng gently handed the baked soft pancake to Xie Fengyue. The hot steam on the pancake lingered in the cold air, exuding an alluring aroma.
Only then did Xie Fengyue realize that her stomach was empty. She smiled slightly and stretched out her slender fingers to pick up the pancake. Unexpectedly, the remaining warmth on the pancake was still a bit hot, and her fingers were instantly burned and turned slightly red.
She frowned slightly, then pinched her earlobe, as if she wanted to relieve the pain in her hand.
The bonfire jumped under the night cover, reflecting on Xie Fengyue's face, giving her jade-like skin a faint blush. The firelight flickered in her eyes, as if there were stars flowing in them.
When You Heng saw this, his heart tightened, and he quickly took out a handkerchief from his arms, gently wrapped it around Xie Fengyue's hand, and blew it with a gentle expression, trying to relieve her pain.
Xie Fengyue looked up at him, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, and she pulled her hand back directly: "You will get burned if your hands are too cold. It's none of your business."
You Heng's softness around his fingers was instantly defeated by these words. He held his hand and froze in place. For a moment, he could not speak, nor could he not speak.
He just thought that Miss Xie's appearance just now was very, very beautiful and delicious, so he acted boldly and wildly. He didn't expect that she would misunderstand that he was feeling guilty.
You Heng coughed awkwardly several times before replying: "I'm not careful enough."
The confusion on Xie Fengyue's face gradually grew. She simply put down the pancake and the map, sat upright and looked at You Heng and said, "Why do you feel that your red spots are getting bigger today?" "Ah?" Half of You Heng's body was numb, he subconsciously said He put his hand to his cheek and asked: "Is there any?"
"Why are the red spots on your temples today?" Xie Fengyue suppressed her urge to take action and continued to ask.
Under You Heng's calm expression, the storm had already broken out. He tried hard to calm down and answered in a very helpless tone: "Hey, Madam discovered it after all. In fact, this red spot is not a birthmark, but a poisonous spot." Signs of hair.”
"Poison?" Xie Fengyue did not stop asking after hearing the family secrets. Instead, she patted the gray layer on her clothes and looked at him with a look of listening.
You Heng
He just made up the reasons in a hurry. Why is this girl not as knowledgeable as before? She used to stop asking questions when she heard such secrets.
He could only make up the story: "The poison was caused by my father's brother-in-law. He poisoned my nanny's food. I was just a crying child at the time. By the time I discovered the poison, it was already too late. At first, This erythema was only about the size of a finger, and it began to gradually expand as I grew older. I think it was because I was running around these days and didn’t take medication properly, so the erythema expanded a little.”
After listening to Xie Fengyue expressionlessly, her eyes continued to slide over the red spot on his left eye and she replied faintly: "My husband has a bad fate. It's really hard work."
You Heng's heart was almost in a mess. What did Moon Girl mean? What she said sounded pleasant, but her expression clearly showed disbelief.
Just as he was suffering, Songshan, who was not far away, noticed the hand gestures he secretly made behind his back and came to rescue him.
He ran over in a hurry, panting and saying, "Lang Jun, it's time to take medicine."
Xie Fengyue's eyes immediately fell on Songshan. The inquiring look in her eyes made Songshan feel like a light on his back. He wanted to turn around and leave. However, due to the look from Lang Jun, he could only bite the bullet and continue to speak casually: "Lang Jun Are you feeling dizzy? It must be because you are too close to the bonfire. I helped you sit in the shade behind."
He did what he said, and immediately stood up and pretended to help You Heng and walked back. When both of them breathed a sigh of relief, Xie Fengyue said leisurely: "Husband, your veil fell off."
You Heng just woke up from a dream.
Handkerchief! Handkerchief!
His handkerchief is an imitation of Xie Fengyue's design when he was in Chenjun, with butterflies embroidered with curved water ball patterns on it.
This is an embroidery technique unique to Pei County, Chen County. Because of its complexity, this embroidery technique has not appeared in other places.
His turning movements seemed to be slowed down a thousand times, and You Heng seemed to be able to hear the sound of every joint in his body.
"Don't go through my things again." Xie Fengyue reminded her coldly.
For the first time in his life, You Heng felt like he was going to hell and then to heaven.
He just thought it was because the human skin mask had not been repaired these days and had gone wrong. And with the evidence of this veil, this attentive girl realized that something was wrong.
It turned out that she thought he was a thief and had gone through her things without her permission.
You Heng just wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three hundred times.
He clenched his fists to pretend to be ashamed, but in fact he blocked the raised corners of his mouth: "It's my fault, I'm sorry."
Seeing that he had a good attitude in admitting his mistake, Xie Fengyue didn't want to argue with this sick man anymore. She picked up the handkerchief and stuffed it into her arms, then stopped talking to him.
It feels like what I wrote yesterday is like SHI, and I have revised it a bit.
There will be an update recently, and I want to see if there is a chance to limit the number of words again. I heard from other authors that there is a chance that around 600,000 words will be captured by the operation, so I still want a chance to rescue data.
