"Marry me?" Chen Yuanshu was a little stunned. She had thought of countless possibilities, how this tribal boy would apologize to her and beg for her forgiveness. She was even mentally prepared to let go of everything. She really never expected that this tribal boy would say that he could marry her.
Where did the courage and confidence come from?
But the boy's eyes were serious and sincere!
Everything will turn around when it reaches its extreme!
Originally a ridiculous thing, just like a beggar proposing to a princess in distress, this absurd feeling reached its extreme, Chen Yuanshu felt that the tribal boy in front of her was very simple, too simple! It can be said that he has no knowledge and thinks everything is very simple. .
He may have been living in protection.
He has not experienced too many storms.
Perhaps going into the mountains to hunt is the most dangerous thing he has ever experienced.
It is normal for a tribal genius to grow up under protection.
Chen Yuanshu can see that the boy in front of him is really willing to take responsibility.
This is the most sincere way for him to express his apology.
This even made Chen Yuanshu feel a little guilty, because she was 26 years old, and the boy in front of her was probably ten years younger than her. Instead, she felt like a little boy who sacrificed himself to save her.
Jiang Xuan could see that Chen Yuanshu's face was not right, so he said: "I am just willing to take responsibility, if you need it..."
"Enough." Chen Yuanshu interrupted coldly, took a deep breath, and looked at Jiang Xuan with a calm look.
Jiang Xuan shrugged his shoulders and lowered his head to sew the skirt.
"This is an accident." Chen Yuanshu sorted out her thoughts before speaking, "I will say three points."
"You say." Jiang Xuan did not look up.
"First, take back what you just said that you can marry me. We met by chance, and maybe you feel that you have hurt me, but you also saved my life, so you don't owe me anything, and I will not marry you for this kind of thing. We are from two different worlds, and it is impossible." Chen Yuanshu has changed his attitude, although it is still cold.
"Well, then?" Jiang Xuan nodded.
"Second, you saved my life, I am very grateful." Chen Yuanshu's tone was still cold, "I have the Wanjing Order of Tongtian Pavilion in Feixue City in my purse, which has the effect of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and is worth 18,000 medium-grade Yuanjing. Take it, and we will settle our debt."
"Your life is really valuable." Jiang Xuan smiled.
"Third, I hope you can forget what happened last night." Chen Yuanshu looked at Jiang Xuan, "This is our common secret, a secret that will never be told to outsiders, don't tell anyone! Just pretend that nothing happened! I don't want to know who you are, I won't inquire about your identity, and you don't try to inquire about my identity either, and we will never meet again."
Jiang Xuan finally looked up and looked at Chen Yuanshu.
A few breaths of silence.
"I know what you are worried about."
Jiang Xuan smiled, "I was worried that you would go crazy and kill me. You are more clear about gratitude and resentment than I thought. I also understand that you are afraid that this matter will spread and it will be bad for your reputation. Reputation is indeed very important... I agree."
As he said this, Jiang Xuan tore the thread and stood up to shake the skirt.
Fixed.
Throwing the skirt to Chen Yuanshu, Jiang Xuan turned the barbecue on the fire again, and then said: "I will go to pick up some dry firewood. Don't worry that I will peek at you. I have already carefully watched it."
Watching Jiang Xuan walk into the woods, Chen Yuanshu was stunned again.
What do you mean by "I have already carefully watched it"?
This sentence... seems to have no problem, but it is too straightforward, but it also makes Chen Yuanshu let down her guard. After Jiang Xuan's footsteps faded away, Chen Yuanshu untied the blanket wrapped around her body and began to put on her clothes, first wearing the underwear that had been dried on the wooden stake...
After a while,
Jiang Xuan returned to the bank of the stream with some dry firewood.
Chen Yuanshu was already dressed, and when she saw Jiang Xuan coming back, she said, "Your craftsmanship is good." Jiang Xuan's sewing skills are indeed good. If you don't ()..co
.
Look carefully, you can't tell that Chen Yuanshu's skirt has been torn.
"Eat something." Jiang Xuan gestured to the fire.
"No." Chen Yuanshu looked at Jiang Xuan with a complicated look, "After today, you and I will never see each other again." After saying that, Chen Yuanshu disappeared from the spot like the wind.
Jiang Xuan could feel Chen Yuanshu's breath fading away at a very fast speed.
"Is this the kind of passerby in life that Senior Qi Shi said?" Jiang Xuan sighed in his heart, and subtle emotions grew in his heart. He felt that he had suddenly become a person with "experience".
After eating barbecue.
"There are still two days, and it's still time to rush back to the tribe, and I can also look for treasures along the way." Jiang Xuan set off again.
"I should ask him his name and which tribe he is from, so that if he tracks me down in the future, I will know where to kill him. I shouldn't trust the tribesmen so much. They have a barbaric and bloody tradition. How about I go back and ask him now?"
Chen Yuanshu moved very fast in the forest, "Forget it, what am I thinking about? He is only a teenager. I heard that the women in the tribe are very casual. He will not lack women when he reaches his age. He will forget me soon. Damn... Why can't I remember what happened last night at all?"
With a confused mind, Chen Yuanshu ran all the way to the outside of Black Pool Mountain.
Unknowingly, a day passed.
In the night, Chen Yuanshu sat cross-legged by the fire.
"I didn't bring anyone to the agreed location to meet Yuan Zhou. He will definitely bring someone to look for me. It's natural that he will search the place where we were attacked. I just don't know if they can tell that it was Lü Kong who kidnapped me... Yuan Zhou and his men must be crazy, I have to go back early." Chen Yuanshu has been traveling all day without stopping, and now she is using all her strength to restore her innate power.
Two hours later.
Late at night.
Chen Yuanshu decided to take a nap for half an hour before leaving.
Consciousness quickly returned to silence.
A chaotic picture suddenly appeared in Chen Yuanshu's mind: arms clasped together, heat rising from the human body, turbulent streams, heavy breathing, shaking. The picture became clearer and clearer, and more unbearable to look at.
"Give it to——"
Chen Yuanshu opened her eyes suddenly, her eyes wide open, recalling, her eyes flickering.
She dreamed, and remembered... part of it, this or that process.
"What did I do, what did I do..." Chen Yuanshu subconsciously held her face, and the whole person seemed to collapse... Her face was red, it was all her initiative, and she was too active! She even begged!
This even made her panic. She wanted to ask the tribal boy if he was awake in the stream last night. She was afraid that he would remember everything, which would be too embarrassing!
Recalling the early morning, the boy treated her so calmly, without any extra teasing, any offensive and playful eyes, and no strange eyes and attitudes towards herself, Chen Yuanshu even felt a little grateful in her heart.
"It's okay, it's okay, we will never meet again, everything is over! No one knows what happened to me after I was kidnapped by Lu Kong, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter..."
Chen Yuanshu closed her eyes and took deep breaths again and again, continuously.
But soon, her face turned red again. She opened her eyes, blinked again and again, and her eyes gradually fell into memories. She pursed her lips, blushed, and recalled...
On the morning of March 6th, in the Black Cloud Gorge of Black Pool Mountain, the sound of the waterfall roared.
After washing her face under the waterfall, Chen Yuanshu set out again, and her afterimage kept flashing in the forest. Suddenly! Chen Yuanshu appeared on a tree branch two meters high. Looking at the simple mark carved on the tree next to her, she reached out and touched it.
"The mark of our Chen family." Chen Yuanshu was overjoyed.
Following the direction indicated by the mark, Chen Yuanshu soon found the same mark on another tree a hundred meters away.
Half an hour later.
"Who is it?"
"Be careful!"
The two innate guards of the Chen family in the forest felt someone approaching at a high speed, and all jumped to distance themselves, turned around and drew their weapons, with vigilant eyes.
()..co
.
"It's me!" Chen Yuanshu's afterimage condensed in front of the two people.
"Miss Yuanshu!"
"Miss Yuanshu, you're still alive!"
The two Chen family guards were extremely surprised and excited, and almost cried! It's not that they have a deep relationship with Chen Yuanshu, but Chen Yuanzhou promised to give a very high bounty for being the first to find Chen Yuanshu, and if Chen Yuanshu died in Black Pool Mountain, then the guards who set out to leave Feixue City together would be executed when they return!
Afternoon, Sunset Valley of Black Pool Mountain, this is already the outer area of Black Pool Mountain.
Black Armor Guard Camp, inside the tent.
"Yuanzhou, don't be impulsive. It's for your own good to let you return to the camp. You also saw the death of the guards around your sister. With that kind of strength and that kind of crazy killing method, your sister must have met Lu Kong! But Lu Kong may not kill her, maybe he will ask the Chen family for a ransom." Xie Hanjie looked at Chen Yuanzhou and said.
"Then why don't you go? What are you doing here?" Chen Yuanzhou shouted to Xie Hanjie.
Xie Hanjie narrowed his eyes slightly.
Chen Yuanzhou's eyes fixed for a moment, then he lowered his head: "Sorry, sir, I am rude!"
"I understand your feelings. I stay here to replace Master Lei Hong and to protect you. The Chen family must not lose two geniuses in a row! This is not only Master Lei Hong's intention, but also my idea."
Xie Hanjie patted Chen Yuanzhou on the shoulder again, "Be prepared, even if I can't be your brother-in-law, we can still be brothers. I can't let you take risks impulsively."
"Master! Master Yuanzhou! Miss Yuanshu is back!" An excited shout came from outside the tent.
In just half an hour.
Lei Hong, who was notified by the compass, rushed back to the camp and saw Chen Yuanshu, who looked good and had no injuries, in the tent. Chen Yuanzhou and Xie Hanjie were also there.
"Did you meet Lü Kong?" Lei Hong saw that she was fine, so he asked directly.
"Yes, sir." Chen Yuanshu got up from the chair.
"How did you get away from him?" Lei Hong asked again.
"There was a red robbery snake chasing Lü Kong. After Lü Kong kidnapped me, he was caught up by the robbery snake and had to leave me behind. Originally, Lü Kong gave me the Sealing Source Pill to make it difficult for me to escape, but he fought with the red snake far away... and didn't come back after several hours!"
Chen Yuanshu spoke fluently. Before Lei Hong came back, she also said this to her brother Chen Yuanzhou and Xie Hanjie, "After the drug effect wore off, I left there."
"Red snake... Good! Very good!" Lei Hong nodded continuously.
As long as the red snake continues to chase Lü Kong... Wanli Black Pool Mountain, tracking a huge robbery monster is much easier than tracking a person!
Half an hour later, Lei Hong, Xie Hanjie, Chen Yuanshu, Chen Yuanzhou, and all the Chen family guards in the camp set off to the outside of Black Pool Mountain. Some Chen family guards were not in the camp and did not receive the news. The black armor guards would notify them.
"Have you found any trace of the three brothers of the Ge family in the past few days?" Chen Yuanshu asked.
"No." Chen Yuanzhou shook his head, "Lord Lei Hong's three hundred black armor guards, more than twenty guards under my command, and thousands of tribesmen under the rule of the Jiang clan... have been searching as much as possible. According to Lord Xie, Lord Lei Hong even launched some secret technique to track down the three brothers of the Ge family, but it was useless... Lord Lei Hong really wanted to save Chief Jiang."
"Chief Jiang helped him search for the three brothers of the Ge family, and something happened, which affected the life-and-death battle. Of course, Lord Lei Hong wanted to make amends." Chen Yuanshu said.
"What a pity." Chen Yuanzhou sighed, "I wanted to learn the ninth style of "Chasing Wind Blade", but it seems that there is no chance."
"Tomorrow is the seventh day of the first lunar month, right?" Chen Yuanshu looked at her brother and asked.
"Yes, the seventh day of the first lunar month, and there will be a life-and-death battle tomorrow morning."
Chen Yuanzhou said, "In the past thousand years, the tribes that have been annexed by Black Pond Mountain are all small and medium-sized tribes, and the ten major tribes have never changed. Tomorrow morning, we will witness history, and it can be said that our trip to Black Pond Mountain is not in vain."
"Yeah." Chen Yuanshu responded with a nasal sound, and then said, "Then let's go back to Jiang's ().co
.
Tucheng, and wait until tomorrow afternoon, when the other guards come back from the mountains, we will leave together."
That night, Lei Hong, Chen Yuanshu and others returned to the Jiang clan's Tucheng.
The news that the three brothers of the Ge family and Jiang Xuan were not found soon spread throughout the Jiang clan.
******
On the morning of the seventh day of March, the Jiang clan's Tucheng martial arts training ground.
"Jiang Xuan is missing!"
"Hahaha, I heard that he met the three brothers of the Ge family in Heitan Mountain!"
"God bless our Shentu tribe!"
On one side of the ring, dozens of warriors of the Shentu tribe changed their bitter hatred in the past six months and were all very excited. They pointed at the team of the Jiang tribe on the other side, and some even stared and gestured to wipe their necks.
Only Shentu Yu seemed very calm.
After Shentu Lie died, Shentu Yu had a very bad life in the tribe. Without the protection of her father, it was difficult for her to have a status in the tribe as a girl. Some tribesmen began to look at her with strange eyes. Some people resented her father for launching a life-and-death battle, and then resented her and insulted her in public. What's more, some people broke into her room drunk with bad intentions.
Fortunately, "Uncle Yan" arrived in time and chopped the tribesman with a knife.
There were still powerful elders who took care of her, but they also took into account the feelings of other tribesmen, just to ensure her safety, and beyond that, it was difficult to give her more.
Exclusion, abuse, eating the worst food, doing the dirtiest work, and even being slapped in the face by the older women in the tribe.
Shentu Yu silently endured everything.
She thought that this kind of life would continue until the day when all the men in the Shentu tribe died and were annexed by the Jiang tribe. Sometimes, she even hoped that day would come soon.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xuan died unexpectedly in Heitan Mountain.
Victory still belongs to the Shentu tribe!
Shentu Yu knew that she should be happy, her father's murderer was dead, and the tribe was going to win, but she didn't feel that ecstatic.
"Uncle Yan, can you not celebrate after winning?" Shentu Yu said to those around her.
Shentu Yan turned his head to look at Shentu Yu, paused, shook his head slowly, and said: "This is our tradition, and our tribal warriors should be rewarded."
"No wonder people in the city say we are barbaric." Shentu Yu laughed at himself.
On the other side of the ring, the Jiang clan team was gloomy, especially those who returned in the past six months. The word "regret" was written on their faces. Someone ran away twice last night. Today, there are less than ten men in the Jiang clan who can participate in the battle.
Huh!
Shentu Yan jumped onto the high platform!
Now he is the deputy patriarch of the Shentu tribe. Originally, he would not take action. It would not be his turn to go to the ring to die until the last moment. But Jiang Xuan died, so his going to the ring was no longer to die, but to harvest! He will kill all the men of the Jiang clan on this ring today!
"Jiang clan, who will fight?" Lei Hong on the high platform asked.
The few men in the Jiang clan looked at each other. They lacked the courage to fight to the death in the ring at the beginning, and they still lack it now.
"Cowards! Hahahaha! The Jiang clan are all cowards!" A loud laugh came from the Shentu clan.
"Shut your stinky mouths!" The afterimage flew into the martial arts training ground.
Flashing, appeared on the ring.
