Alternative Jianghu Adventures

The crackling sound of burning firewood almost resounded throughout the valley.

It took a lot of effort for Qiao Anyue to drag her half-dead body to find some dry wood branches that could be burned by Tan's side, and barely dragged Xia Yun from the water's edge to a dry open space and was already unable to move.

The orange fire flickered in Qiao Anyue's eyes from time to time, and an hour was enough for her to realize the current situation.

In the valley, beside the deep pool, in the dark night.

Fortunately, this place seemed quite secluded, and she checked around and found no paw prints or feces of large animals—let's not worry about the danger of wild animals attacking for the time being.

Qiao Anyue went into the water and caught a few fish. The spice bag she carried had been washed away by the rapids for a long time, so she could only get local materials - simply clean up the fish, take a bunch of branches and hang them in the will It was roasted on the fire.By the way, I also found a stone with pits, took some water and burned it on firewood.

She suddenly remembered the few jokes she had made with Xia Yun when she was acting at the banquet in Feilongzhai, saying that her skills were not inferior to the other party's. She never thought that she would have a chance to show her skills so soon.

... At that moment, I just felt that God's will tricks people.

The fish skin was immediately blackened by the flames, but it would take a while for the fish inside to be fully cooked.Qiao Anyue has been busy for a while, and under the scorching flames, she finally realizes that she and Xia Yun are not only injured but also wet with clothes.

If this continues, not only will Xia Yun's high fever not get better, but she herself may not be able to get sick.

Physicians have always put life, death and health outside of ethics and shame, not to mention that there are people in this area, let alone people, who can't even see a ghost. In addition, they are both women, and they have been entangled since childhood. Without hesitation, Qiao Anyue came to Xia Yun and took off her own and the other's outer shirts. She was about to make persistent efforts to untie the tie of the middle coat when she was suddenly pressed by Xia Yun's hand!

"Who is it!" Xia Yun's eyes suddenly opened, but she still hadn't let go of her vigilance. Her body's instinctive reaction made her lock Qiao Anyue's throat without hesitation. When she gradually came to her senses, The cheetah-like sharpness turned into astonishment and surprise in an instant, "...Yue'er? What are you...doing?"

Her eyes fell on someone's hand about to undress.

Qiao Anyue didn't change her face and her heart didn't beat, she easily pushed Xia Yun's outstretched hand aside, and said concisely: "Cure the disease."

"Ah... oh..." Xia Yun realized that he didn't have any strength to lock Qiao Anyue's claws, and replied dryly: "I will do it myself, I will do it myself."

Qiao Anyue nodded without doubt, then stared at Xia Yun intently.

Xia Yun couldn't help touching his nose, ready to move someone's gaze to the side, and just said: "That..."

"Hurry up." Qiao Anyue interrupted Xia Yun's words in time, solemnly, "Don't dawdle."

Xia Yun was frightened by her abruptly, his hands shook, and he immediately untied the tie neatly.

The plain white jacket began to slip from the shoulders, and it was half open, and the corset strips inside could be vaguely seen. The wheat-colored skin was not very clear under the orange firelight, which well concealed the blush from the inside out. .

...It must be a fever.

Xia Yunqiang tried to calm down and comforted himself.

"Okay, turn your back." Qiao Anyue held down Xia Yun's slipped shirt, and looked at the shoulder blades that were just exposed. She nailed the three golden needles deep inside, and only the tail needles protruded less than half an inch.

"Hold on." Qiao Anyue held her fingers together and sealed several large acupuncture points on Xia Yun's back with lightning speed, and pushed her fingers up and down along Xia Yun's meridians like a dragon. The golden needle suddenly shook violently.

Xia Yun clenched his teeth and controlled his muscles not to be too tense. He only felt his temples protruding, and he almost let out a moan from between his teeth!

The golden needle is stuck in the seam of the bone, and the exposed tail needle is not long enough for people to pull it out directly. You can only use internal force to push the golden needle out from all directions along the meridian.If you don't pay attention, the golden needle will aim at the leak and drill to the place with less pressure during the process of retreat-in case the force is uneven, it will be more difficult for the whole needle to sink into the meridian flatly.

In case of a patient who has difficulty in controlling his body, because of pain, the body moves or is too tense, it is even more difficult to let the needle withdraw without detours!

Fortunately, Xia Yun was well aware of this, so he stood still on the mountain, and his whole back was not even the slightest bit on guard—if you ignore the row of teeth marks she bit on her lower lip, I'm afraid it will really make others feel uncomfortable. Thought the person couldn't feel any pain.

After a long time, Xia Yun dazedly heard Qiao Anyue say "Okay" behind her back, and then felt a cold liquid rush down the wound.

"There's nothing around here, let's wash it down with water first, and go back and get the herbs before processing." Qiao Anyue's voice of explanation came later, Xia Yun nodded, and then heard "Zla", the fabric was torn the sound of.

She looked back inexplicably, and just caught a glimpse of Qiao Anyue tearing off the sleeve of her jacket into a clean piece of cloth—because it was close to the fire, this small piece had already dried out—and was caught by Qiao Anyue. An Yue scolded: "Turn your head away. It's not easy to bandage like this."

"Oh."

Xia Yunchi paused, obediently let the cloth wrap around his wound, and after a while, he heard Qiao Anyue's steady voice: "Okay, put on your coat, come here and drink some hot water, and warm yourself by the fire." Warm up. Oh yes, watch some fish, don't let it burn."

Xia Yun, who has been serving the pretentious Miss Qiao for a long time, did not expect Feng Shui to turn so quickly—although now she knows that Miss Qiao's character is mostly fake, but the reality still makes her feel a lot of emotion.

It feels so good to be looked after.

The smell of fish floated into Xia Yun's nose along the wind, she thought like no one else, it's no wonder Qiao Anyue chose such a personality before!

Xia Yun couldn't help laughing lowly, holding back the smile on his face so as not to let himself be too arrogant, focused on the stone in front of the water, and tried to break off a plant with an empty tube to drink some Water, the slack mental energy finally gradually gathered from all directions, and felt that the head that had been drowsy due to the high fever was much clearer.

... This finally made her notice something was wrong.

Xia Yun suddenly turned to look at Qiao Anyue——

On Qiao Anyue's white clothes, large red bloodstains spread from the abdomen.

As if nothing had happened, she unbuttoned her shirt, revealing the three bloody cuts inside—it was injured by Gen Shan when she was holding the knife for Xia Yun earlier.

The flying knife was much larger than the lily needle, and the water flow was so fast that it had been washed away to nowhere.It's just that such a rampant, originally a good blade, but also in the process of falling off the flying knife, messed up in random places, which looks quite ferocious.

However, fortune and misfortune depend on each other. Genshan's blade originally contained highly poisonous poison. Although the torrent widened the wound, it also washed away the poisonous blood. He died of poisoning on the way.

But this is not what Xia Yun cares most about.

"Yue'er, what's wrong with you?" Xia Yun asked hesitantly.

"I can live." Qiao Anyue responded casually, handled it roughly, but the movement of the hand did not slow down, and she simply pulled half of the sleeve on the other hand, calling Xia Yun, "Come and help Bandage, I can't reach the back."

Xia Yun hurried over to take the cloth strip.

The amount of fabric for the sleeves is not enough at all. Xia Yun tilted his head and pondered for a moment, then decisively pulled half of the clothes off his upper body, wrapped up the hideous wound layer by layer, and then continued to ask seriously: "Qiao Anyue ,What’s wrong with you?

Did you... forget something?No, do you remember... what happened before? "

Weird, so weird.

After Xia Yun woke up, whether Qiao Anyue was dealing with Xia Yun's wound or her own, she maintained this expression from beginning to end.

Calm, stable, with no expression of emotion or anger, like an emotionless monster, with only the same face from beginning to end.

Yue'er wouldn't do that at all, no matter if it was "Sixteen" or "Miss Qiao", she would show her intolerance towards Xia Yun, but the person sitting in front of Xia Yun now was completely impenetrable. It clearly says "don't get close to strangers", but it also clearly exudes an atmosphere of "absolute alienation".

The alienation is not only the body temperature, but even the voice is naked indifference.

Xia Yun has traveled all over the world for so many years, and has only seen two kinds of people who show no emotion or emotion: one is the group of killers of Shilijian, whether they are disguised or born, they give people a cold feeling like a cold blade; Lian Qiu is so calm and detached from the world.

Either way, there will always be something that moves both types of people.Whether it is money, or power, or love that is hard to find... For everything in the world, as long as a person is alive, there will always be an object of concern.

But Xia Yun's sixth sense told her that Qiao Anyue was neither.

This is a kind of indifference that puts herself as a "bystander". Since it doesn't matter, there is nothing that can move her.

"No." Qiao Anyue looked back at Xia Yun with a cold face, and pointed to her head calmly, "I have remembered everything that should be remembered, everything from Yue'er to the present, All are clearly imprinted in my mind.

Xia Yun, I have never known who I am more clearly than now. "

"Then you..." Xia Yun was dumbfounded.

Qiao Anyue's tone remained unchanged, "Xia Yun, Yue'er is just one of my age groups, and when it passes, it will pass. The me now is what I should be."

"What do you mean?" Xia Yun was puzzled.

Qiao Anyue stared fixedly at Xia Yun's confused eyes, and asked back, "Do you know about the blood of the Qiao family?"

The burnt firewood rolled to the ground along the other firewood stumps with a "click".The firelight imprinted a false warmth in Qiao Anyue's eyes.

After Qiao Anyue explained concisely, Xia Yun looked at the fire without saying a word.

Naturally born with drama, emotion is extremely cold, watching everything in this world with cold eyes, ruthless and desireless, it is really not a thing to be happy about.

More importantly, none of the parties involved will realize how sad this matter is.

It just happened.There is no cause and effect, after Qiao Anri's death, it appeared on Qiao Anyue's body.

"...can you repeat that...exceptional example just now?" Xia Yun stared at the fire for a long time before he found his voice again.

"I'll only show some emotion to a few relatives and people I've known since childhood." Qiao Anyue didn't think about it, "but the possibility is extremely small."

"That's it!" Xia Yun raised his head suddenly, and looked into Qiao Anyue's eyes seriously, "We've known each other since childhood, right?"

"so what."

"That's the breakthrough." Xia Yun said firmly, "Qiao Anyue, I don't believe your words!"

"..." Qiao Anyue guessed that maybe the fever and the blow were too severe, and even interfered with Xia Yun's judgment.

However, Xia Yun said with certainty as if he had mind-reading skills: "I'm very sober now! Qiao Anyue, I thought you must be dead after I picked up your jade pendant from a corpse in a mass grave five years ago , but now you have appeared in front of me... This is an iron-clad fact! Nothing is absolute or impossible."

"It just happened to be a mission and left the jade pendant there unintentionally. It doesn't explain anything." Qiao Anyue explained.

Xia Yun ignored him, just paused, and continued: "I don't believe that you can throw all the emotions you had when you were young into Java. Even actors and operas have to empathize with you. I don't believe that a person without any emotions can empathize with you. There are so many people lying around."

Qiao Anyue pulled out a warm arc, her tone finally fluctuated, "Impossible, huh?"

"...I didn't say that your tricks are bad," Xia Yun said sullenly, "Qiao Anyue, let's make a bet."

"What are you gambling?"

"Bet on your heart." Xia Yun poked his neck and said, "Just bet that I can make you laugh again. Deep down in your heart, there is definitely something you are nostalgic for! Bet you can't laugh, but just forget How can I express my emotions correctly! If I lose, I, Xia Yun, will definitely slap my ass and leave immediately. I won’t make fun of myself in front of you, a wooden man. If you lose..."

"What if I lose?"

"Hey, then..." Xia Yun thought for a while, but couldn't think of any good things to do, so he had a froze face, "I will accept one condition in the future, no decline! No cheating! How about it?"

"Yes." Qiao Anyue nodded, thinking that it's good for the two of them to forget about each other.

Qiao Anyue thought that Xia Yun was obsessed with Yue'er who would only follow her around when she was a child. Now Yue'er is just a memory for her. Logically speaking, Xia Yun should not be bound by this past.

When Xia Yun understands that there are some things she cannot change, maybe she will withdraw from this entanglement by herself.

Qiao Anyue thought so.It was better than her leaving as if nothing had happened.

"Agreed?"

"It's a word."

As soon as Qiao Anyue finished speaking, she heard Xia Yun sneezed three times in a row. After relaxing the long speech that she had held her breath just now, she became listless again.

Her eyes fell on Xia Yun, who tore off half of his jacket. He was already suffering from a fever, but in the end, he made his clothes like this for bandaging, so it's no wonder he wasn't freezing?

Stretching out his hand to try the toasting outer shirt, Xia Yun's was not completely dry, Qiao Anyue pulled his own and threw it into Xia Yun's arms expressionlessly, and said coldly: "There is no wind-cold medicine here, don't want to Put it on when you're burnt."

Just after finishing speaking, a gust of cold wind blew by, Qiao Anyue was covered in goose bumps, and couldn't help but sneezed herself.

……

"How about... let's sit closer?" Xia Yun asked cautiously. Seeing that Qiao Anyue didn't respond, she immediately sat down next to someone with her coat in her arms.

Qiao Anyue could almost feel Xia Yun's hot skin pressing against her, even though she was separated by a thin layer of fabric, the unnatural heat flowed along.

The next moment, just as Xia Yun put his coat on the two of them, Qiao Anyue's sensitive nose smelled a burning smell.

"Oops! Yuyuyu!" Xia Yun hurriedly took the grilled fish off the fire, and just went to talk, who cares about the burning fish!

She was holding the grilled fish that was already black outside, and after a while, she handed it to Qiao Anyue for a look, "That, do you want to eat?"

The disposition carried from the depths of the soul will not change with the disposition.Even if the emotions are indifferent, the extremely strong basic physiological needs will not be affected in the slightest.

Qiao Anyue: "..."

She might as well grab a few more and bake them again.
