Master and Bandit Commander

36

The innocence was completely dark, and the moon hung high in the sky. The bright moonlight was softly scattered in the forest in late autumn, as if covering the forest with a layer of tulle, making it even more hazy and beautiful against the backdrop of the night.

However, none of this had anything to do with Ye Changsheng. What he saw from the woods was only a dim light.

Ye Changsheng kept walking like this, not knowing the time or the end, walking alone in the dense forest under the darkness of night.

But human physical strength is limited, and it is even more difficult for a weak young master.

Ye Changsheng couldn't move anymore, the cold wind in the jungle at night made his face hurt, he wrapped himself in a fox fur cloak, and tried his best to shrink himself into a small ball and hide behind the roots of the big tree, trying to use this method in such a way. Bring yourself warmth and security in the terrible night.

Although his fox fur is indeed thick and warm and airtight, it can also prevent him from feeling cold at night like this.But after all, this is the wild forest in the middle of the night in late autumn, and the cold air permeates the bone marrow everywhere, and even every place under the feet can feel the cold air penetrating to the bone.

Ye Changsheng couldn't fall asleep with his eyes open, and he didn't dare to fall asleep.Occasionally, there would be crows or owls calling from the tree above his head, and some creepy screams of animals whose names he didn't know were far away. He was afraid that he would be taken away by wild animals as soon as he fell asleep. up.

Of course, apart from these factors, the most difficult thing for him right now is actually hunger.He had already vomited up the few steamed buns he ate this morning, and was chased and killed before he had time to eat lunch, and then hid here until now. Already hungry is dizzy limbs weak.

Ye Changsheng was wrapped in fox fur with only a small face exposed, looking up blankly at the dark tree layer above his head where no light could be seen, counting the numbers in a low voice in his heart.The second brother once told him that if he couldn't fall asleep at night, he could count silently, and if he counted too much, he would fall asleep naturally.He seldom used this method in the past, because he is the most delicate young master of the Ye family, as long as he can't sleep, there will naturally be a large group of people coaxing him.But right now, he is in such a situation, no one is by his side, so naturally he can only rely on himself.

In fact, Ye Changsheng didn't want to sleep at all, no one could sleep in such a place without distraction.But he knew that he had to rest, because only when he was in good health could he get the imperial edict for his father and brothers, the prince and brother-in-law could become emperor in a legitimate way, and the Ye family would have hope.

So no matter what, for the sake of his family, he must endure until the end.

Maybe counting really played a certain role. Ye Changsheng actually fell asleep in a daze in the middle of the night.

In this quiet and uninhabited forest, the little boy was wrapped into a small ball and leaned softly against the tree roots, with his eyes closed, breathing gently and slowly, sleeping very restlessly, only occasionally mixed with A few whispers, as if he was wronged and said something to someone.It's just that there is no human being around this forest, and the birds, beasts and trees cannot understand his words.

The night passed quickly, and it was not as long as imagined.Ye Changsheng woke up when the first rays of sunlight penetrated through the leaves. He rubbed his eyes and woke up from his light sleep. The trunk stood up.Up to now, he has learned how to face reality.

After a night of tossing, although his stomach convulsions from hunger no longer hurt, the feeling of hunger is still there.He was thirsty and hungry now, and if he didn't eat any more, he feared that he would pass out.

Continuing to move forward in the same direction as yesterday, Ye Changsheng firmly believed that as long as he was firm in his position, he would definitely be able to make it here. Maybe, he would meet Tianjia who came looking for him on the way.

Chu Liuxiang's lightness kung fu is famous all over the world, otherwise he wouldn't have the reputation of being the commander-in-chief of the bandit Tayue Liuxiang, and there are only a handful of people in this world who can rival him.So it was very easy for him to catch up with Ye Changsheng who was just driving slowly in a pony carriage before.At least he did catch up with them by noon the next day.

However, what greeted him was not the joy of reunion, nor Ye Changsheng's soft face.He looked at the dilapidated carriage in front of him silently, his mind couldn't turn the corner for a moment.On the other side, on the open space a little farther away, there were obviously traces left after the fight. He looked at these things with almost no other expressions on his face.

Chu Liuxiang walked over and bent down, picked up the sword that was not too unfamiliar to him, and looked at it carefully.

The owner of this sword fought with him a few times more than two months ago. Even though there was no outcome at that time, it can be seen that the man is a hero.

But now, this sword has been abandoned in the wild, but its owner is nowhere to be found.

Anyone who is good at using swords knows that a sword is as important to a swordsman as his life, and sometimes even more important than his life.So unless he was dead, a swordsman would not just throw his sword in such a desolate place like this.

This is Tianjia's sword.

Chu Liuxiang clenched the saber in his hand, allowing the sharp blade to scratch his hands, and he seemed to feel no pain at all, allowing the blood to slide down drop by drop.

The sunshine in the autumn afternoon is the most comfortable and pleasant. It should be warm when it shines on a person's body, but Chu Liuxiang didn't feel the slightest warmth.

The current situation is very bad, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the scene where Chang Sheng met an accident, he can't help but think about the worst possibility - he came a step late.

But he was Chu Liuxiang after all, after forcing himself to calm down, he forced himself to think differently.

For example, although he picked up Tianjia's saber, he didn't find his body. This may be considered a good thing, maybe Chang Sheng has been taken away by him.

Chu Liuxiang's mind moved slightly, and his feet moved immediately. Regardless of whether this was the case or not, he had to search the entire area.If they really ran out, they would definitely go in opposite directions, and two walking people should not run very far.

Hopefully, his intuition, which has always been sensitive and proud, will be equally useful this time.

Ye Changsheng raised his head, and swallowed at the tall tree full of colorful fruits, his stomach rumbled even more, and he felt even more hungry that he was about to turn into a thin sheet of paper.

If Chu Liuxiang was standing in front of him at this moment, he would not be able to believe that this dirty little round ball in front of him was the white and tender Ye Changsheng whom he had always treasured and raised.

You know, when Ye Changsheng was still at home, he didn't wear any clothes for more than two days. Even if he couldn't keep up with Chu Liuxiang when he was outside, he would have to change into clean clothes after three days at most. Not a speck of dust.

But now, after spending two or three hours in the bushes, and sleeping in the wild all night, stumbling and crawling all the way, Ye Changsheng is already a little clay figurine, from face to hands to body , almost no place is clean.

Of course, this is not what the spoiled Ye Changsheng cares about at the moment, he is staring at the fruit on the tree, his mouth is watering.

After all, the desire to eat got the upper hand. After Ye Changsheng wandered around under the tree for a long time, he still boldly walked forward, intending to climb the tree to pick it.

No one has ever taught a young master how to climb a tree. Ye Changsheng thought about his hands and feet and tried to hug the thick|big tree trunk, moving up little by little. He should be thankful that he is usually raised well, although he hasn't been there for a long time. Eat, but the body can still retain some strength, such a clumsy method can actually make him go up a bit.

It's just that there are many rough and rough old bark on the trunk, because Ye Changsheng's hand was scratched because he grabbed it too hard.He kept breathing in pain, but he still didn't let go and tried hard to climb up, trying hard to survive.

In this way, he pushed upward bit by bit, getting closer to the target bit by bit, stubbornly refusing to let go.I don't know how long it took before he finally climbed to a distance of nearly two meters from the ground. His whole body was terribly tired. Ye Changsheng turned his head to look at the ground guiltily, and then quickly turned his head to continue climbing.

But it was a pity that his hand hadn't grasped the bark firmly, and he fell from the top all of a sudden.

When his butt hit the ground, Ye Changsheng burst into tears from the pain.

He clutched his buttocks that were so painful that they seemed to be turned into several pieces and couldn't get up for a long time, so he had to roll on the ground to relieve the pain.In this way, the fox fur on his body, which was already so dusty that the original snow-white color could hardly be seen, became even more dirty.

It took a long time before the pain in Ye Changsheng's butt got better. He sat on the ground with tears in his eyes, looked up at the tall tree, and at the red and big fruit. He gritted his teeth and struggled to get up. Changed to go up the tree again.

His persevering behavior of climbing the tree quickly attracted the attention of the monkeys on other trees around him.They chirped together curiously, watching that little idiot dressed in strange clothes who looked nothing like their kind was clumsily climbing a tree to pick fruit, watching him keep falling down and screaming, watching with relish, While eating the bright red fruit, she laughed at him.
