i want to be by your side

"Where do we go now?" I asked casually as I got off the horse to rest with Yuan Jian in my arms.Seeing the horse pouting beside me, I was glad that I was not a human being, otherwise, after riding a horse for so long, my ass would definitely hurt me to death.

"I don't know." Yuan Jian half closed his eyes, looking a little tired. "Let's get rid of those rogues first."

"Well, let's drink some water and rest for a while." I said, and handed her a bag of water on the horse's back, and then checked the rest of the bag, and found that after removing the bag of water, there was only a little water in it. Dry food is not enough for one person to eat for a day.

He ran away in such a hurry that he didn't bother to take anything.I still have a few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake with me, which I took out of the restaurant the day I left.I don't need to eat in the first place, and the reason why I bring these foods is just to satisfy my cravings and satisfy my appetite.

I put the little dry food in the bag with a few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in my arms, and let Yuan Jian carry the bag.She looked at me with some puzzlement, I walked up to her and squatted down with my back to her, and said, "Let's go, I'll carry you."

"Don't bother, I can go by myself." She frowned, feeling that she was being treated as a burden.

I swear to God, I absolutely didn't mean that, I just thought it would be faster to leave this forest, and I definitely didn't mean to despise her.But in the end—

"Oh, then go on your own." I said dryly.

So I carried the only burden on my back and supported her to move on.The girl Yuan Jian was also stubborn, she insisted on walking for two hours by herself, neither noisy nor troublesome, she did not have the squeamish appearance of a wealthy family at all.

Having said that, are all the princesses of the Yin Dynasty so mighty?I wanted to talk to her, but I could see that she was sweating profusely. She was obviously tired, but she still gritted her teeth and kept walking.

"Take a rest, we have traveled a long way, and the rogues probably won't be able to find them." I persuaded.

"No, let's go for a while." Yuan Jian shook his head and said, "I looked at the trees here, the direction we are walking should be northeast, from the route we escaped just now, we should be in Chenjia Village In the nearby woods. If we go straight ahead, we should be able to reach Chenjia Village without accident."

"How long will it take?"

"Probably...two days?" Yuan Jian said, his eyes darkened for a moment, but soon regained his previous firmness.

"Two days? Are you going to leave like you are now?" I was a little angry, angry with her for being brave, and also angry with myself for not being tough enough.No matter how strong her willpower is, her body still can't bear to walk such a long way!

"I..." She wanted to say something, but a small exclamation came out of her mouth the next second: "Ah——"

I hugged her horizontally without refusing, she struggled a little, but she didn't break free, so she had to be hugged by me obediently.I performed lightness kung fu, and my figure quickly shuttled among the woods. If it wasn't for fear of being difficult to explain, I would have long wanted to use my demon power to fly her out of the woods and go directly to Xiqi.

When it was getting dark, we were lucky enough to find a deserted cave.I gently put her down, helped her to sit on a boulder, and then walked out of the cave with a knife in my hand.

"Shopkeeper Long, where are you going?" Yuan Jian stopped me.I looked back at her and saw that although her expression remained the same, the tension in her eyes betrayed her.

"Before it's dark, go out and pick up some firewood to make a fire, and hunt for something to eat." I said, "If you're hungry, eat something first. There are some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in it. I brought them from the restaurant. They taste delicious." It’s not bad. Your feet are blistered, just sit there obediently, don’t come down and walk around, I’ll help you with the medicine when I get back.”

"Oh, and I'll be back soon, don't worry." I thought for a while and added.

"that……"

"Ok?"

"How...how do you know about my feet..." Yuan Jian asked with some embarrassment.

"I said I smelled it, believe it or not?" I smiled at her.

"What... what?!" She said in shock.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, I seemed to see her face flushed completely in an instant, and my heart became inexplicably happy.

Because I was not around, I could use my demon power freely without being afraid of being discovered, so soon, I harvested a lot of dry firewood and a rabbit.When I came back with a full load, I saw Yuan Jian walking out carefully holding the stone wall from a distance, looking around for my figure.

It was already dark, and unless the other party had night vision, it was difficult to see people in the dark forest.

"How did you come out?" I ran up in three steps and two steps.

Yuan Jian was startled by the sudden human voice, and took a step back. After seeing clearly that it was me, he relaxed his tone.

"You're back." She said with a smile in her eyes.

"I'm back." After I finished speaking, I felt a little weird in my heart—isn't this what the scholar who returned from school and his wife at home would say in the scriptures?However, in this situation, am I not the returning scholar, and Yuan Jian is the wife waiting at home?

Thinking of this, I am inexplicably happy.

"What are you happy about?" Yuan Jian was a little baffled by me.

"Well, I just thought of something funny, and I'll tell you later." I put down the things in my hand while talking, turned around and carried Yuan Jian back to the boulder, and then quickly turned back to light a fire.The cave was suddenly lit up by the fire.

I took out a dagger in my arms, put the blade on the tongue of fire and licked it a few times, roasted the front and back with the fire, and squatted down in front of Yuan Jian to help her take off her cloth shoes.

"Be patient, it will be all right, I'll be there soon."

I held her ankle and approached with a dagger in my right hand.I noticed that the other party's subconscious retreated a little, and I knew that the princess was a little nervous. After all, she had never suffered such hardships before, and it was expected that she would be afraid of pain.

"Don't be afraid, relax." I comforted softly, holding the five fingers of her ankle while gently kneading the acupuncture points at that position. "By the way, didn't you just ask me why I suddenly became happy?"

"Why?" Yuan Jian knew that I was diverting her attention, so she asked cooperatively.

"That's because I thought of..."

I told her about the scholar who returned home from school and his wife, and then I still teased her: "If you add the word 'Xianggong' before you say it, then the sentence will be exactly the same as the one in the script. "

"Sister-in-law, wife, what are you thinking about all day long?" Yuan Jian was speechless. "What's more, you and I are both women, how can we be called husband and wife? Don't talk nonsense anymore."

"Could it be okay to just make a joke?" I sincerely asked for advice, but without any hesitation in my hands, I neatly popped the blisters on her feet. When the other party reacted, I was already on the bed. medicine.

"You are really..." She stopped after speaking halfway.

"What?" I looked at her suspiciously.

"It's nothing." Yuan Jian turned her face to the side of the backlight, so that I couldn't see her expression clearly.

At dawn the next day, I set out on the road with Yuan Jian on my back, followed by a rabbit.After I captured this rabbit alive last night, I wanted to roast it and eat it, but for some reason, I gave it to Yuan Jian in a flash of my brain.But this rabbit was so stupid, Yuan Jian looked disgusted, but because of the etiquette he had learned before, he accepted this stupid rabbit against his will, and planned to get up in the middle of the night and let it go secretly.Who would have thought that when we got up early this morning, we found that the rabbit didn't run away, but followed us all the way with a stern face.

Yuan Jian didn't say anything, and obediently lay on my back, and I let the rabbit follow, as long as it didn't reveal our whereabouts.

"How far?" I asked.I sat her down on a fallen tree trunk, and then I sat next to her and took a drink of water.

"It shouldn't be far away." Yuan Jian touched the tree under him, looked carefully at the nearby trees, and then pointed to one of them and said to me: "Look at the tree over there, there is an ax on the trunk." There are also traces of trees that have been cut down, indicating that woodcutters often come here to cut firewood. As long as we continue walking in this direction, we should be able to see the village before the sun goes down.”

"It's amazing! I didn't even notice this." I exclaimed, surprised at how careful the other party was about the surrounding environment.But I can’t really blame me for this, I’m not a human being, I’m not afraid of having nothing to eat, and I’m not afraid of being discovered, so I’m not particularly sensitive to these traces of human activities.

Yuan Jian froze for a moment, then squinted his eyes and looked me up and down: "Tell me the truth, are you really a killer? Not only do you not have vigilance when you sleep, you don't even have the observation skills that a killer should have. How did you escape?" Chased and killed?"

I hesitated and asked her, "When you first saw me, did you think I was a killer?"

"...Not like that. Rather, she looks very much like those boudoir ladies who have never seen the world, with a pure and straightforward personality, lively and active."

"So you see, you don't feel like it yourself, who else thinks like it?" I said, "And I am very powerful. I killed those who wanted to kill me. How could someone come after me to kill me? ?”

"I've lived for so long, and this is the first time I've seen such an immodest person." Yuan Jian seemed shocked by my thick skin, "How can anyone say that they are amazing? Those who say that they are amazing are all defeated in the end." The reason is because they are too arrogant and think that they are invincible."

"But I am indeed very powerful, but I am not the most powerful one in the world."

"I don't think I can communicate with you."

"Oh."

"..."

Just as we were silent, a roe deer suddenly sprang out from the grass in front of us, and then a sharp arrow flew out with a "swish", hitting the roe deer accurately.Then, a half-human-tall hound rushed out, barking around the prey.

I got up and stood in front of Yuan Jian, in case the big dog rushed over to bite someone suddenly.The grass over there moved, and the next second a woman carrying a bow bag appeared in front of her eyes.

"Stone." The woman called.

"Wow!" The big gray-haired dog barked, wagging its tail, and walked to the woman's feet with its prey in its mouth.At this time, the woman bent down and touched its head, only then did she notice that there were two other people here.
