Can't speak

The two of them didn't speak during that journey, and they didn't run into anyone from Qin Yueshu again. They just walked through two stone rooms in a row, but they were all exactly the same as the previous ones. In the end, Su Yangui couldn't bear it any longer: "Ning Jane, should we mark it? I think we're still going in circles."

Ning Jian shook his head: "If you leave a mark, it will be easier for Qin Yueshu to find us." He paused, and seeing Su Yangui standing there with an irritable expression, he patted Su Yangui on the shoulder very naturally, "Although we can't make a mark, at least we don't go around in circles, otherwise we would have run into Qin Yueshu long ago."

Su Yangui didn't want to ask why he met Qin Yueshu anymore, he just stared blankly at the shoulder patted by Ning Jian, and laughed after a long while, "Ning Jian, you haven't patted me on the shoulder for three years. !"

Ning Jian froze there, looking at Su Yangui at a loss.Su Yangui still smiled brightly: "To be precise, it was three years and half a month. The last time was my 17th birthday."

"Oh." After a long while, Ning Jian replied honestly, "Let's continue walking."

Su Yangui's smiling face suddenly collapsed, and he followed behind him with a look of frustration, but couldn't help but reached out and touched his shoulder.

"Sure enough, good things will happen if you don't wear clothes."

He was waiting at the gate of the town with his bare arms, but after Ning Jian returned, he ran all the way for his life, and he had no chance to put on his clothes.Now that Ning Jian slapped him, he felt the warmth from Ning Jian's hand remained on his skin, and the rough and warm touch made him almost tremble with excitement.

Ning Jian questioned with an "um", but didn't pursue it further.

Su Yangui followed Ning Jian with a smile, sticking behind him from time to time, and still felt very satisfied when he occasionally took a bite of Ning Jian's elbow.

"Let's go, Qin Yueshu is not stupid, maybe he will find out soon."

Su Yangui's heart moved, and he asked, "Ning Jian, are you familiar with Qin Yueshu?"

"No." Ning Jian only gave him one word, and said nothing more.

Time passed slowly, the physical strength of the body was gradually worn away, and the two of them became more and more silent.

Su Yangui always held Ning Jian's hand and walked ahead, Ning Jian didn't break free, the surroundings were pitch black, only hearing each other's breathing, and the steady and boring footsteps, making people feel like they would never end their journey. a feeling of.

"Ning Jian, are you tired?" Su Yangui's voice had a trace of exhaustion, but there was still a smile.

Ning Jian didn't answer, and he didn't ask any more questions, and there was silence again.

Finally arrived at another stone room, Su Yangui was the first to open the door, the inside was the same as the previous one, the golden ring beside the door could not be pulled.

Finally opened the door on the right, everything was as usual, Su Yangui was a little discouraged, but still smiled and said: "I have to keep going..."

"Take a break." Ning Jian said after being silent for a moment.

Su Yangui was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

Although Ning Jian was injured more severely than him, his martial arts were much higher than him. He never rested during this journey. If it is said that physical strength is exhausted, he must be exhausted faster than Ning Jian.Hearing that Ning Jian said to take a break, he understood that although he didn't get an answer to the question "Are you tired?", Ning Jian still remembered it.

Thinking of this, he felt full of joy, and just as he was about to lean against Ning Jian, he saw Ning Jian staggering.

Su Yangui's expression changed immediately, he supported him with one hand, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ning Jian shook her head, didn't speak, just walked into the door that was still closed.

"It must be a dead end inside, so there is no need to make an effort to go..." Su Yangui persuaded as he followed, but before he finished speaking, he found that Ning Jian had already pulled the golden ring at the end.

Ning Jian turned her head and looked at him, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

Su Yangui opened her mouth halfway, watching the door at the end slowly and silently open, her face was full of astonishment, but she didn't know whether it was because she finally found a different way, or because of Ning Jian's faint smile.

There was no trap behind the door, and Ning Jian waited for a while before breaking free from Su Yangui's support and walking in.

Su Yangui was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly called out: "Ning Jian, you are laughing!"

"Shut up." Ning Jian only replied two words, while looking at the scenery inside the door.

It is not so much a stone room as it is a cave. There is sunlight on the top of the cave shining through the cracks, making the inside of the cave much brighter than the outside. At the end of the cave is a stream of water, which is clear and deep. Although the branches and leaves growing from there are not lush, they still occupy a corner of the cave and are very conspicuous.

Su Yangui sighed, pulled Jinhuan to close the door very naturally, looked back and saw all this, and finally couldn't help sighing: "It doesn't seem like there is a way to go forward..."

Ning Jian walked towards the center of the cave, looked around, and said: "Not necessarily, this place is different from other places, there must be a reason for it. Even if not... It is safer for us to rest here than to rest outside .”

Su Yangui nodded again and again: "You're right! Even if other people walk into the mountain, they may not be able to guess the secrets of the organ, and even if they find out, they may not be able to find that there is a hole here. We can rest and recuperate here first. , I went out and ran into Qin Yueshu or something, and I could have a good fight with them."

Ning Jian ignored him, and walked to the side of the cave and sat down against the wall. After he finished speaking, he said calmly, "What do you eat?"

Su Yangui was speechless for a moment, and then laughed after a while: "Let me see if there are any fish in this pond."

While talking, he really ran to the pool, trying to look down to see if there were any fish.It's just that he was too tired from walking all the way, and he was injured again. At this time, he suddenly leaned forward, and his eyes went dark, and he fell down.

Ning Jian was startled, the person had already flew over, grabbed his shoulder with one hand and pulled him back, throwing him to the ground.

Su Yangui yelled out in pain, looked at Ning Jian with an aggrieved face and called, "Ning Jian..."

Ning Jian didn't even look at him, and just said: "There are fish in the pond, don't jump down to see them."

Su Yangui sat on the ground dumbfounded. Seeing that Ning Jian was still sitting by the wall, she crawled and rolled over, "I'm tired of eating dry food. Wait, I'll catch fish."

Ning Jian nodded, and handed over the dagger in his hand, Su Yangui happily ran to catch the fish, lit a fire, roasted it before sending it to Ning Jian as if to please him.

Ning Jian took it silently, took two bites, saw that Su Yangui was just looking at her, and couldn't help but asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Su Yangui came back from a trance, picked up another fish and gnawed on it, but his eyes were still fixed on Ning Jian's face.

Ning Jian seemed to be used to seeing him too, until he finished eating the fish in his hand, he raised his eyes to look at him: "If you look again, I'll dig out your eyes."

Su Yangui grinned and showed him a row of teeth, her eyes narrowed with a smile.

Ning Jian didn't draw his sword either, but just glared at him, then lowered his head and closed his eyes to rest, but suddenly felt Su Yangui's breath approaching, he opened his eyes suddenly, and Su Yangui had already kissed his face.

The short sword came out of its sheath with a bang, Su Yangui had already left, licked his lips, and said with a smile: "Something is on my lips."

Ning Jian was taken aback, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to touch her face, but only felt slightly wet.

"I couldn't help but licked it off." Su Yangui smiled like a cat that stole the fish.

Ning Jian was silent for a long time before saying: "There are still fish in the pond, if you are hungry, you can eat more."

Su Yangui felt as if a gnat was stuck in his throat, and after a while he managed to say: "I'm so hungry, I can't get full from eating anything."

Ning Jian ignored him, tilted her head slightly, and seemed to be thinking about the meaning of his words, but she just thought about it for a while before giving up, still closing her eyes, and began to adjust her breath with luck.

Su Yangui looked at his side face, his gaze softened little by little.

An occasional stealing kiss, casual or intentional physical touch, staying together all year round, irrelevant conversations...although it seems to have gained a lot, but of course it is not enough.But if you are more greedy, you may have nothing. After you leave this place, you will have nothing.

Consciousness gradually blurred, Su Yangui still couldn't bear to close his eyes until he fell into a dream, dreaming that the person was smiling at him, and couldn't distinguish whether he was dreaming or waking up.

When he woke up again, he was covered with a coat, carrying a certain person's unique breath, but the person sitting beside him had disappeared.

Su Yangui sat up all of a sudden, only then saw Ning Jian squatting in the middle of the cave, frowning at something.

Staring blankly at Ning Jian, thinking about the smile in the dream, it took a long time for Su Yangui to lift off her clothes, get up, and walk towards Ning Jian: "What are you looking at?"

Ning Jian pointed to the ground and said, "These depressions are a bit strange."

Su Yangui looked at what he was pointing, and saw some square depressions on the ground, each of which was as big as a palm, and very shallow, so you can't notice it if you look carefully.These depressions are neatly arranged in four columns, seven in each column, if converted into characters, it is like a poem.

After looking at it for a while, Su Yangui stretched out his hand to poke those depressions, and then said with a smile: "It's not a mechanism, it can't be poked."

Ning Jian tapped his finger with the dagger scabbard, then stood up: "Maybe it's a hint."

"Hints are useless, it doesn't look like there is another way here."

"Yes." Ning Jian answered quickly, "The pond. There are fish in it, which proves that it is living water. Even if it doesn't move forward, it can lead to the outside."

Su Yangui's eyes lit up: "That means we can leave here?"

Ning Jian glanced at him, looked down at the ground again, and said softly after a while: "What I'm looking for is a treasure, not a simple way out."

"Naturally." Su Yangui smiled, as it should be very natural.

Ning Jian glanced at him again, then stood up, walked to the edge of the pool, looked into the water and said nothing.

Su Yangui walked to his side, smiled and said, "I'll dive down and have a look."

"No, I'll go."

"Why!" Su Yangui was anxious, "No one knows what's in the water, it's too dangerous for you to go."

"It's because of the danger, so I'm going." Ning Jian's tone was still flat, unable to hear the force of the words.

"Why?" Su Yangui asked persistently.

Ning Jian looked up at him, then lowered her head, and said word by word: "Because your martial arts skills are poor, your foundation is weak, and you were injured, so just wait for me obediently."

Su Yangui covered his chest in a playful manner, looking hurt, he looked at Ning Jian anxiously: "You are hurt more than me, and my martial arts skills are poor, what should I do if someone breaks in?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Ning Jian jumped into the pool without even looking at him.

"Ning Jian!" Su Yangui yelled, Ning Jian's figure had disappeared into the water, he lay on the edge of the pool for a while, and then smiled slightly, "Actually... you also care about me, right?"

As soon as Ning Jian entered the water, she could feel that the pool was deeper than expected. The water in the pool was clear and cold, even in the heat of June and July, it was still unbearable.

He held his breath and dived deep, feeling that the originally narrow pool gradually opened up, but his surroundings slowly darkened, only a ray of light ahead, guiding him forward.

Ning Jian swam towards the bright place, and began to feel the water flow becoming faster, as if resisting outsiders, and kept pushing him back.

He gritted his teeth and slapped the invisible water. When the water was weaker, he took the opportunity to swipe forward. A fish slid past his body. The slippery and cold feeling made him tremble.

The water began to surround him heavily, unable to move forward or backward, Ning Jian could feel his physical strength weakening rapidly, and his chest became more and more stuffy, as if something was pressing on him.The feeling of suffocation made him want to open his mouth to inhale, but he knew that once he opened his mouth, there might be no way out, so he could only adjust his breath secretly, and began to retreat desperately.

However, there seemed to be a vortex at the bottom of the water, pulling him down, Ning Jian yelled inwardly, and waved her palms several times, but the muddy cow fell into the sea, which had no effect.

At this moment, something wrapped around his waist and quickly led him to swim forward. Ning Jian subconsciously waved her hand and slapped the thing, only to realize that the person hugging him was actually a person.

I couldn't see the man's face clearly in the water, I could only see him moving forward swiftly in the water like a fish, Ning Jian couldn't tell whether he was an enemy or a friend, and the struggle just now had exhausted him, so he could only do whatever he wanted. The man led himself forward, closing his eyes and holding his breath desperately, trying his best to maintain his sanity.

In a daze, it seemed that the man's lips were attached to his own face, sliding down his face little by little, and finally kissed his own lips.

Ning Jian struggled reflexively, and then felt the air flowing from the man's mouth into her body little by little.The instinct of the body was aroused at that moment, he sucked almost greedily, eager to escape from the suffocation.

Gradually, he could feel that person carefully poking his tongue into his mouth, but he couldn't refuse, so he could only let the tip of the tongue pry open his teeth little by little, and let it sweep in his mouth.

However, Mingming was desperately trying to breathe, but the breath seemed to be taken away by that kiss little by little. Ning Jian could no longer struggle and could only accept it passively.Feeling that his consciousness was gradually fading, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fear and panic, together with many things he couldn't explain clearly, seemed to be gradually disappearing, and they would no longer weigh on his heart.

At the end when his consciousness was about to disappear, Ning Jian suddenly heard a loud sound of water, and then suddenly, there was a wind blowing towards his face, and he was slightly startled, only to realize that he was out of the water.

There is still a cave on the shore, the cave is open, but not big, with light shining from the head, although there are still branches and leaves growing in the corner, but the surroundings are empty, and it is clearly not the cave before entering the water.

He frowned slightly, and felt someone emerging from the water beside him, splashing on his body, he turned his head suddenly, and saw Su Yangui grinning at him beside him.

"You..." Ning Jian only said one word, and her lips were blocked again.

Su Yangui pounced on him like a big dog, with both hands tightly around his waist, the moment his lips touched, he drove straight in, that kind of crazy plunder, as if he wanted to take something from him, with an eagerness to Ning Jian was so nervous that she even forgot to refuse.

The two were still in the water, following Su Yangui's movements, the surrounding water surged, and the two were ups and downs in the water. The uneasy feeling made Ning Jian reach out and grab Su Yangui subconsciously.

As if he had received a hint, Su Yangui's kiss became deeper and deeper, and the feeling of suffocation became more and more obvious, but he never let go.

Ning Jian's breathing became short of breath, and finally she couldn't help it anymore. Holding her breath, she struggled away, grabbed Su Yangui's arm and sent her to the shore, only then half-floating on the water, she gasped for breath.

Su Yangui was thrown on the shore, and it took him a while to get up, looking at him with an aggrieved expression: "Ning Jian..."

Ning Jian slightly turned her eyes away, and while getting up along the bank, she said, "Why are you following?"

"I said, it's too dangerous to stay there. I didn't show my head after seeing you in the water. As soon as I got scared, I jumped off."

"Didn't I tell you to take care of yourself?"

Su Yangui smiled, full of pride: "If I stay there, you will die in the water."

Ning Jian was slightly stunned, and then remembered everything in the water just now. If Su Yangui hadn't led her to swim through the whirlpool, she might have died in the water.

Seeing that Ning Jian was silent, Su Yangui smiled even brighter, and moved to his side: "Ning Jian, I saved you again, do you want to promise me with your body?"

Ning Jian's short sword came out of its sheath with a clang, and was laid across Su Yangui's neck, but Su Yangui seemed to be unable to see anything, still looking at him with a playful smile, his eyes were slightly bright.

After a while, it was Ning Jian who withdrew the sword himself.Seeing him slowly returning the sword into its sheath, Su Yangui moved closer: "Ning Jian, you were in the water just now, and your reaction was so positive."

"Positive what?"

"Kiss."

The sword that was not fully sheathed was drawn out again, Su Yangui didn't dare to move immediately: "Ning Jian, even if you feel embarrassed, you don't need to kill me, right? If you kill me, how will you find the treasure?"

Ning Jian stared at Su Yangui steadfastly, and finally drew back the sword, and the rope hanging the jade pendant around Su Yangui's neck snapped, so frightened that Su Yangui quickly reached out to catch the jade pendant.

"Ning Jian, this is my family heirloom!"

Su Yangui yelled, but Ning Jian didn't seem to hear him, so he stood up and walked towards the center of the cave without looking at him again.

Su Yangui yelled for a while, seeing that he still ignored her, so she got up disgruntled, tied the rope again, walked to the end of the cave, broke off some branches and leaves, piled them up, and squatted in a corner to light a fire.

Ning Jian walked around, returned to him, and said, "This cave is cleaner than the cave just now. There is nothing there. It seems that we have gone the wrong way."

Su Yangui was still digging wood to make fire, after hearing what he said, she didn't say anything, just smiled and pointed to her side: "Then sit down and dry your clothes first."

Ning Jian glanced at him, stood for a while, and then squatted down, took the branch in his hand, rubbed it in his hand for a while, sparks were born, and soon burned completely.

"You're still amazing."

Ning Jian didn't reply, just reached out and took off the hair crown, and began to undress slowly.

"What are you doing!" Su Yangui blurted out subconsciously.

Ning Jian was stunned for a while before saying: "The clothes are wet, take them off and dry them."

Su Yangui was stunned for a moment, then let out a cry, Ning Jian was startled by him, stopped and looked at him.

Su Yangui quickly waved his hands, and said with a smile: "It's all right, you can take it off."

Ning Jian looked at him for a while without knowing why, and then continued to untie her clothes: "Stop messing around."

"No nonsense." Su Yangui responded casually, while reaching out to touch Ning Jian's clothes, "Ning Jian, have you lost weight?"

Ning Jian dodged sideways, grabbed the short sword in one hand, and raised it in protest.

"Ning Jian, I can't help it if you take off your clothes in front of me."

"Can't resist what?"

"I'll think you're tempting me." Su Yangui said, reaching out to touch Ning Jian's waist.

Ning Jian knocked hard with the hilt of his sword: "What nonsense!"

Su Yangui took a deep breath from the knock, shook her hand but stretched it out again: "You know I like you, if my sweetheart undresses in front of you, I can't help it..."

His voice became smaller and smaller, seeing that Ning Jian's movements slowed down due to hesitation, he suddenly leaned over and kissed him on the ear.

Ning Jian subconsciously slapped Su Yangui. She thought Su Yangui would dodge, but she didn't expect that he would not dodge. When Ning Jian realized it, it was too late, so she forcibly withdrew seven successes, but still pushed Su Yangui away. on the ground.

"Ning Jian, you are so cruel." Su Yangui yelled, baring her teeth, but still had a playful smile on her face, "If you beat me to death, what will you do?"

Ning Jian didn't answer, but hesitated for a while, buttoned the clothes again, walked to him and squatted down, reached out and touched his chest: "Does it hurt?"

Su Yangui should be obedient: "It hurts."

"Where does it hurt?"

"Everywhere hurts, here, here," Su Yangui smiled and pointed to several places, and finally pointed to the heart, "It hurts the most here."

Ning Jian sighed softly, rubbed his chest twice, and said after a while: "You can mess around, you deserve it if you get beaten, how old are you?"

"I'm not fooling around." Su Yangui looked at him.

Ning Jian didn't look up, but just looked at his wounds, and responded indifferently: "He said he wasn't messing around."

Su Yangui looked at the person in front of him, the downcast eyes were filled with unreasonable tenderness, which made him tremble slightly and he was unable to react.

Ning Jian also kept quiet all the time, after rubbing for a while, she was about to withdraw her hand.

Su Yangui grabbed his hand subconsciously, seeing Ning Jian opened his eyes, hesitated for a while, and then repeated: "I'm not messing around."

Ning Jian looked at him, and after a long while, he withdrew his hand and patted Su Yangui's head hesitantly: "Good boy." Before Su Yangui could respond, he had already stood up and walked towards the fire past.

Su Yangui gritted her teeth and sat there, and after a while, she slowly threw the branch in her hand into the fire.

Many years ago, treasure hunters from afar came to this border town and captured the only child who knew the secret of the treasure. They tortured him hard and softly for more than half a year, but it only left the child with a serious illness.

In the few days before the adoptive father's death day, the child couldn't hold on anymore and fell ill. The treasure hunter boiled medicine to feed him, and hugged him day and night, without sleep.

Until one night, when the child woke up and burst into tears with a mouthful of porridge in his mouth, the treasure hunter just kept silent and never let go of the hands that hugged him.

He hugged that person's neck and cried all night, and at dawn, it was the same. The hand that stretched out patted his head and said, good boy.

It seems that with just one sound, all grievances and grievances, right and wrong, will be written off, and he will be obedient and never hold grudges.
