It was getting late, and the man watched the blurred green shadow jump off the horse, and helped his body up with great difficulty, blood stained the long blue dress, but he was already unconscious.
Bursts of birdsong reached his ears, the turquoise bamboo of the shed reflected in the slightly open pupils, and his mind went blank, except for the thick sackcloth wrapped around his body that might help him remember something.
He tried to get up, but no matter how hard he tried, it always seemed to be a little bit short.
There was a voice outside the door, and it was a small voice, but it was certain that it was the voice of a strange man.
He shouted a few times, and there was a flurry of panicked footsteps from far and near outside the house, and Ciel rushed in.
I saw her leaning down and pressing the half-seated body of the field back on the straw mat, and said softly: "Brother has picked up a life, don't be reckless, just lie here and meditate to recuperate, and everything will be taken care of by Xi'er." ” Yuan Ye grinned his tense face, took Xi'er's hand in his hand again, looked at the woman's pale face and coughed twice and asked, "Where are the others?"
” Xi'er frowned slightly when she heard the voice, took off her hand and said, "Your palms are cold, I'll go get a bowl of hot water."
With that, he turned around and went out.
At the beginning of the night, the man's steady footsteps and the low voice of self-talk woke up the field, he opened his eyes slightly, measured his body to see, the faint light of the oil lamp on the table was reflecting a small black man, under the face of the flesh was a black fat body, a pair of stupid hands were quickly rummaging through the iron tools and tools on the table, as if looking for something, at the moment of turning around, the domineering triangular eyes quickly swept from the field of the body, and the two looked at each other.
Yuan Ye propped himself up and clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Thank you for saving this big brother, I will be grateful in the future." ” The man made a smirk at the face staring at the field, raised his hand and picked up a wooden plate, pointed at the arrow on the plate, and said, "Look at it, look at it, three arrows, one arrow in the left arm, one arrow in the waist, and one arrow in the leg."
After that, he threw the wooden plate on the table, approached the field and smiled with a dark face: "How do you want to thank me?"
Yuan Ye wanted to respond, but he turned around and took the hammer on the table and walked out quickly.
The pitch-black hut and the field were awakened again, and the shrill cries of a woman echoed in his ears, and he tried to wake himself up as quickly as he could, so that he could make out whose voice it was, and it seemed to be next door.
"Cier!"
The uncertain thought in his mind made him wake up suddenly.
"I saved your man, why not!
Why not?"
"!
I'll show you what I'm capable of tonight."
"Let go of me!
Let go of me!
Bastard" The man's and Ciel's shouts echoed through the dark room, beads of sweat rolled down Yuanye's forehead, and the huge pain caused by his efforts to stand up made him crawl to the ground in an instant, his body was wrapped in sweat and oozing blood, and the corners of his mouth trembled and chanted Ciel's name repeatedly, but it seemed so pale and weak.
He reached for his black dragon sparrow, and the moment he held the scabbard in his hand seemed to give him more strength and courage, perhaps the best way to inspire a warrior's fighting spirit, the knife gave the wounded man a glimmer of hope.
He stood up with the hilt of his knife in his hands, slowly moving his steps to Ci'er's cries for help.
The black man's hands kept tearing on Xi'er's body, and the thick black arms like iron pillars pressed her to the ground fiercely, and there was no room for manoeuvre.
Ciel still resisted meaninglessly, she struggled, screamed, felt that she was gradually losing strength, her voice was lowered, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, when the huge figure overwhelmed her, she felt hopeless, as if all good fantasies were in vain in an instant, she closed her moist eyes, waiting for the misery and desolation of the black cloud to enter.
"Ahh A man's scream made Xi'er wake up suddenly, the bulky body fell from his body, Xi'er gasped and saw the field in front of him, the black dragon sparrow in his hand was stained with blood, and he wanted to say something but suddenly fell to the ground.
The snow cellar was icy, and the cold wind swept the earth wantonly, and the man's hand broke off a small Xiaoice from the branch and slipped it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
He sat under the tree, the woman beside him leaning beside him, her head resting on his shoulder, the black veil of her face trembling in the wind and snow, sometimes revealing the corners of her mouth, the ice crystals knot on her long eyelashes, and did not fall off with the blinking of her eyes, she leaned quietly there, thinking about something.
"Are you cold?"
The man asked, looking down at the woman.
"I'm not cold!"
The woman replied, blinking again, bringing her body closer to the man.
"Does the wound still hurt?"
The woman asked with a slight frown.
"It doesn't hurt anymore!"
The man replied with a light smile.
The woman sat up suddenly, took a piece of ivory from her neck, put it on the man's neck, and quickly stuffed it into her clothes, watching the man smile stupidly.
"What's that?"
The man asked.
"Brother, don't ask, that's a piece of ivory that I have worn since I was a child, and Mrs.
Huang gave it to me to ward off evil spirits and keep me safe!"
The woman must have replied with a little shyness.
"It's warm!"
The man looked at the smiling face and said, and hugged the woman into his arms again.

The snow was heavier, and the man shook the snow off his sleeve, looked at the woman, and said, "Let's go!"
The woman didn't speak, she slowly stood up, struggled to help the man, grabbed the man's arm with both hands, and walked towards the white expanse with her feet deep and shallow.
"Little brother, how far is it to Shuozhou?"
Yuan Ye looked at the tightly wrapped child sitting on the donkey and asked sincerely.
Xiao Tong stopped the donkey and looked at the two of them and replied with a smile: "I am from Shuozhou, and I am still ten days away from here, and I am afraid that the weather like this will be delayed on the road."
He smiled again: "Look at your appearance, you shouldn't be so down-and-out, why are you so ragged and embarrassed?"
” Yuan Ye looked at Ciel and didn't answer his words.
The boy took a cloth bag from the donkey's crotch, threw two dry cakes into the field, and said, "Eat, eat, you must be hungry."
The two of them held the dry cake in their hands and muttered for a moment, and then chewed it with great delight.
Xiao Tong smiled and said, "When I set off, Master told me that if I meet a down-ending man and a woman on the way back, I can divide the food with them, it must be you, eat slowly, I still have it."
With that, he picked up a big cake and chewed it.
Yuan Ye asked while eating, "Who is your master, and why do you guess like this?"
” Xiao Tong said, "Master also said that if that person asks who Master is, don't let him know." ” Yuan Ye smiled: "This is also strange, what else did your master say?"
” The little boy thought for a while: "He has something for me to tell you, he said, twenty years later, you and I will meet each other today!"
” Yuan Ye said: "Twenty years later?
Master and apprentice?
I see that your master is also too worried.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Behold, the boy drove himself forward with the donkey.
