"Marry me?" Chen Yuanshu was a little stunned. She had thought about countless possibilities and how this tribal boy would apologize to her and beg for her forgiveness. She was even mentally prepared to let go of everything magnanimously. He never expected that a young man from this tribe would say that he could marry him.
Where did the courage and confidence come from?
But the boy's eyes were serious and sincere!
Everything will turn around when it reaches its extreme!
Originally a ridiculous thing, just like a beggar proposing to a princess in distress, this absurd feeling reached its extreme, Chen Yuanshu felt that the tribal boy in front of him was very simple, too simple! It can be said that he has no knowledge and thinks everything is very simple.
He may have been living in protection.
He has not experienced too many storms.
Perhaps going into the mountains to hunt is the most dangerous thing he has ever experienced.
It is normal for a tribal genius to grow up under protection.
Chen Yuanshu can see that the boy in front of him is really willing to take responsibility.
This is the most sincere way for him to express his apology.
This even made Chen Yuanshu feel a little guilty, because she was 26 years old, and the boy in front of her was probably ten years younger than her. Instead, she felt like a little boy who sacrificed himself to save her.
Jiang Xuan could see that Chen Yuanshu's face was not right, so he said, "I'm just willing to take responsibility, if you need it..."
"Enough." Chen Yuanshu interrupted coldly, took a deep breath, and looked at Jiang Xuan with a calm look.
Jiang Xuan shrugged his shoulders and lowered his head to sew the skirt.
"This is an accident." Chen Yuanshu sorted out her thoughts before speaking, "I'll say three points."
"You say." Jiang Xuan didn't look up.
"First, take back what you just said that you can marry me. We met by chance, and maybe you feel that you have hurt me, but you also saved my life, so you don't owe me anything, and I won't marry you for this kind of thing. We are from two different worlds, and it's impossible." Chen Yuanshu has changed his attitude, although it's still cold.
"Well, then?" Jiang Xuan nodded.
"Second, you saved my life, I am very grateful." Chen Yuanshu's tone was still cold, "I have the Wanjing Order of Tongtian Pavilion in Feixue City in my purse, which has the effect of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and is worth 18,000 medium-grade Yuanjing. Take it and we will settle our debt."
"Your life is really valuable." Jiang Xuan smiled.
"Third, I hope you can forget what happened last night." Chen Yuanshu looked at Jiang Xuan, "This is our common secret, a secret that will never be told to outsiders, don't tell anyone! Just pretend that nothing happened! I don't want to know who you are, I won't inquire about your identity, and you don't try to inquire about my identity either, and we will never meet again."
Jiang Xuan finally looked up and looked at Chen Yuanshu.
A few breaths of silence.
"I know what you are worried about."
Jiang Xuan smiled, "I was worried that you would go crazy and kill me. You are more clear about gratitude and resentment than I thought. I also understand that you are afraid that this matter will spread and it will be bad for your reputation. Reputation is indeed very important... I agree."
As he said, Jiang Xuan broke the thread, stood up and shook his skirt.
It's fixed.
Throwing the skirt to Chen Yuanshu, Jiang Xuan turned the barbecue on the fire again, and then said: "I'll go pick up some more firewood. Don't worry that I will peek at you. I have already carefully looked at it."
Watching Jiang Xuan walk into the woods, Chen Yuanshu was stunned again.
What does "I have already carefully looked at it" mean?
This sentence... seems to be fine, but it is too straightforward, but it also makes Chen Yuanshu let down her guard. After Jiang Xuan's footsteps faded away, Chen Yuanshu untied the blanket wrapped around her body and began to put on her clothes, first putting on the underwear that had been dried on the wood pile...
After a while.
Jiang Xuan returned to the bank of the stream with some firewood.
Chen Yuanshu was already dressed, and when she saw Jiang Xuan coming back, she said: "Good craftsmanship." Jiang Xuan's skill in sewing clothes is indeed good. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell that Chen Yuanshu's skirt has been torn.
"Eat something." Jiang Xuan gestured to the fire.
"No." Chen Yuanshu looked at Jiang Xuan with a complicated look, "After today, you and I will not see each other again." After saying that, Chen Yuanshu disappeared like the wind.
Jiang Xuan could feel Chen Yuanshu's breath fading away quickly.
"Is this the kind of person that Senior Qi Shi said, a passer-by in life?" Jiang Xuan sighed in his heart, and subtle emotions grew in his heart. He felt that he had suddenly become a person with "experience".
After eating barbecue.
"There are still two days, and it's still time to rush back to the tribe. I can also look for treasures along the way." Jiang Xuan set off again.
…
"I should ask him his name and which tribe he is from, so that if he tracks me down in the future, I will know where to kill him. I shouldn't trust the tribesmen so much. They have a barbaric and bloody tradition. Otherwise, I will go back to him and ask him clearly now?"
Chen Yuanshu moved very fast in the forest. "Forget it, what am I thinking about? He is only a teenager. I heard that the women in the tribe are very casual. He will not lack women when he reaches his age. He will soon forget me. Damn... Why can't I remember anything about last night?"
With a messy mind, Chen Yuanshu ran all the way to the outside of Black Pool Mountain.
…
Unknowingly, a day passed.
In the night, Chen Yuanshu sat cross-legged by the fire.
"I didn't bring people to the agreed place to meet Yuan Zhou. He will definitely bring people to find me. It is natural to search the place where we were attacked. I just don't know if they can see that it was Lu Kong who kidnapped me... Yuan Zhou and his people must be crazy. I have to go back early." Chen Yuanshu has been traveling all day without stopping. At this moment, he is fully practicing to restore his innate power.
Two hours later.
Late at night.
Chen Yuanshu decided to take a nap for half an hour before setting off.
Consciousness quickly returned to silence.
A chaotic picture suddenly appeared in Chen Yuanshu's mind: arms entangled together, heat rising from the human body, turbulent stream water, heavy breathing, shaking. The picture became clearer and clearer, and more and more unbearable to look at.
"Give it to--"
Chen Yuanshu opened her eyes suddenly, her eyes wide open, recalling, her eyes flickering.
She dreamed, and remembered... part of it, this or that process.
"What did I do, what did I do..." Chen Yuanshu subconsciously held her face, and the whole person seemed to collapse... blushed, it was all her initiative, and she was too active! There was even begging!
This even made her panic. She wanted to ask the tribal boy if he was awake in the stream last night. She was afraid that the other party remembered everything, which was really too embarrassing!
Recalling the early morning, the boy treated her so calmly, without any extra teasing, no offensive playful eyes, no strange eyes and attitude towards herself, Chen Yuanshu even felt a little grateful in her heart.
"It's okay, it's okay, we will never meet again, everything is over! No one knows what happened to me after I was abducted by Lu Kong, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter..."
Chen Yuanshu closed her eyes and took deep breaths again and again, continuously.
But soon, her face turned red again. She opened her eyes, blinked again and again, and her eyes gradually fell into memories again. She pursed her lips, blushed, and recalled...
...
On the morning of March 6th, the sound of the waterfall roared in the Wuyun Gorge of Heitan Mountain.
After washing her face under the waterfall, Chen Yuanshu set off again, and the afterimage kept flickering in the forest. Suddenly! Chen Yuanshu appeared on a tree branch two meters high. Looking at the simple mark carved on the tree next to her, she reached out and touched it.
"The mark of our Chen family." Chen Yuanshu was overjoyed.
Following the direction indicated by the mark, Chen Yuanshu soon found the same mark on another tree a hundred feet away.
Half an hour later.
"Who is it?"
"Be careful!"
The two Chen family innate guards in the forest felt someone approaching at a very fast speed, and they all jumped to distance themselves, turned around and drew their weapons, with vigilant eyes.
"It's me!" Chen Yuanshu's afterimage condensed in front of the two.
"Miss Yuanshu!"
"Miss Yuanshu, you are still alive!"
The two Chen family guards were extremely surprised and excited, and almost cried! It's not that they have a deep relationship with Chen Yuanshu, but that Chen Yuanzhou promised to give a very high bounty to the first person to find Chen Yuanshu, and if Chen Yuanshu died in Black Pool Mountain, then the guards who set out to leave Feixue City together would be executed when they returned!
...
Afternoon, Sunset Valley of Black Pool Mountain, this is already the outer area of Black Pool Mountain.
Black Armor Guard Camp, inside the tent.
"Yuanzhou, don't be impulsive. It's for your own good that I asked you to return to the camp. You also saw the death of the guards around your sister. With that kind of strength and that kind of crazy killing method, your sister must have met Lu Kong! But Lu Kong may not kill her. He may ask the Chen family for a ransom." Xie Hanjie looked at Chen Yuanzhou and said.
"Then why don't you go? What are you doing here?" Chen Yuanzhou shouted to Xie Hanjie.
Xie Hanjie narrowed his eyes slightly.
Chen Yuanzhou stared for a moment, then lowered his head: "Sorry, sir, I am rude!"
"I understand your feelings. I stay here to replace Lord Lei Hong and to protect you. The Chen family must not lose two geniuses! This is both Lord Lei Hong's intention and my idea."
Xie Hanjie patted Chen Yuanzhou on the shoulder again, "Be prepared, even if I can't be your brother-in-law, we can still be brothers. I can't let you take risks impulsively."
"Master! Master Yuanzhou! Miss Yuanshu is back!" Excited shouts approached quickly outside the tent.
In just half an hour.
Lei Hong, who was notified by the compass, rushed back to the camp and saw Chen Yuanshu, who looked good and had no injuries, in the tent. Chen Yuanzhou and Xie Hanjie were also there.
"Did you meet Lu Kong?" Lei Hong saw that she was fine, so he asked directly.
"Yes, sir." Chen Yuanshu got up from the chair.
"How did you get away from him?" Lei Hong asked again.
"There was a red snake chasing Lü Kong. After Lü Kong kidnapped me, he was caught up by the snake and had to leave me behind. Lü Kong had given me the Sealing Source Pill to make it difficult for me to escape, but he fought with the red snake far away... and didn't come back after several hours!" Chen Yuanshu said fluently. Before Lei Hong came back, she had also said this to her brother Chen Yuanzhou and Xie Hanjie, "After the effect of the medicine wore off, I left there." "Red snake... Good! Very good!" Lei Hong nodded. As long as the red snake continues to chase Lü Kong... It is much easier to track a huge monster in the Black Pool Mountain than to track a person! Half an hour later, Lei Hong, Xie Hanjie, Chen Yuanshu, Chen Yuanzhou, and all the Chen family guards in the camp set off to the outside of the Black Pool Mountain. There were also some Chen family guards who were not in the camp and did not receive the news. The black armor guards would notify them. "Have you found any traces of the three brothers of the Ge family in the past few days?" Chen Yuanshu asked.
"No." Chen Yuanzhou shook his head. "The three hundred black armored guards of Lord Lei Hong, the more than twenty guards under my command, and the thousands of tribesmen under the rule of the Jiang clan... have been searching as much as possible. According to Lord Xie, Lord Lei Hong even launched some kind of secret technique to track down the three brothers of the Ge family, but it was useless... Lord Lei Hong really wanted to save Chief Jiang."
"Clan Chief Jiang helped him search for the three brothers of the Ge family, and something happened, which affected the life-and-death battle. Of course, Lord Lei Hong wanted to make amends." Chen Yuanshu said.
"Even Lord Lei Hong couldn't find the three brothers of the Ge family. Is it possible that they were killed by Jiang Xuan?" Chen Yuanzhou suddenly said a possibility.
"He can't possibly kill the three brothers of the Ge family!" Chen Yuanshu shook his head. "Even if the three brothers of the Ge family join forces, you can't be their opponent even if it's Yuan Zhou. Do you think Jiang Xuan is stronger than you?"
"Of course Jiang Xuan is far inferior to me, that's a pity." Chen Yuanzhou sighed, "I wanted to learn the ninth style of "Chasing Wind Blade", but it seems there is no chance."
"Tomorrow is the seventh day of the first lunar month, right?" Chen Yuanshu looked at his brother and asked.
"Yes, the seventh day of the first lunar month, tomorrow morning there will be a life-and-death battle."
Chen Yuanzhou said, "In the past thousand years, the tribes that have been annexed by Black Pond Mountain are all small and medium-sized tribes, and the ten major tribes have never changed. Tomorrow morning, we will witness history, and it can be said that our trip to Black Pond Mountain is not in vain."
"Well." Chen Yuanshu responded with a nasal sound, and then said, "Then let's go back to Jiang's earth city first, and wait until tomorrow noon, when the other guards come back from the mountain, we will leave together."
That night, Lei Hong and others returned to Tucheng of the Jiang clan.
The news that the three Ge family brothers and Jiang Xuan were not found soon spread throughout the Jiang clan.
****
On the morning of the seventh day of March, the Jiang clan's Tucheng martial arts training ground.
"Jiang Xuan is indeed missing!"
"Hahaha, I heard that I met the three brothers of the Ge family in Black Pool Mountain!"
"God favors our Shentu tribe!"
On one side of the ring, dozens of Shentu tribe warriors had changed from the bitter hatred of the past six months. They were all very excited, pointing at the Jiang tribe team on the other side, and some even stared and gestured like wiping their necks. .
Only Shen Tuyu looked calm.
After Shen Tu Lie's death, Shen Tu Yu's life was very difficult in the tribe. Without her father's protection, as a girl, it was difficult for her to have a status in the tribe. Some tribe members began to look at her with strange eyes, and some resented her father for launching He started a life-and-death fight, then resented her, insulted her in public, and even worse, once drunkenly broke into her room with evil intentions.
Fortunately, "Uncle Yan" arrived in time and killed the tribesman with a knife.
There are still powerful elders who take care of her, but they also care about the feelings of other tribesmen. They only ensure her safety, and other than that, it is difficult to give her more.
They were ostracized, abused, ate the worst food, did the dirtiest work, and were even slapped in the face by the older women in the clan.
Shen Tuyu silently endured everything.
She thought that this kind of life would last until the day when the men of the Shentu tribe died and were annexed by the Jiang tribe. Sometimes, she even hoped that that day would come soon.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xuan unexpectedly died in Black Pool Mountain.
Victory still belongs to the Shentu tribe!
Shen Tuyu knew that she should be happy. Her father-killing enemy was dead and the tribe was about to win, but she didn't feel that ecstatic.
"Uncle Yan, after you win, can you stop partying?" Shen Tuyu asked beside him.
Shentu Yan turned to look at Shentu Yu, paused, shook his head slowly, and said, "This is our tradition. The warriors of our tribe should be rewarded."
"No wonder people in the city say we are barbaric." Shen Tuyu laughed at himself.
…
On the other side of the ring, the team of the Jiang clan was in a gloomy mood. Especially those clan members who had returned in the past six months had the word "regret" written on their faces. Someone ran away for the second time last night. Today, the Jiang clan can participate in the battle. of men, less than ten.
call!
Shen Tuyan jumped onto the high platform!
Now he is the deputy chief of the Shentu tribe. Originally, he would not take action. Until the last moment, it is not his turn to go to the ring to die. But if Jiang Xuan is dead, then he will no longer go to the ring to die, but to reap! He will kill all the men of the Jiang clan in this arena today!
"Who from the Jiang clan is going to fight?" Lei Hong asked from the high platform.
The few men in Jiang's team looked at each other. They lacked the courage to go to the ring and fight to the death, and they still lack it now.
"Coward! Hahahahaha! The Jiang clan are all cowards!" There was a roar of ridicule from the Shentu clan.
"Shut your stinky mouth!" The afterimage flew into the martial arts training ground.
Flashing, appeared in the ring.
The scene was silent at first, and then there was a sound of shock, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the figure.
