"..."

"Because, looking back lazily at the flowers, I am half destined to practice Taoism and half destined to be a king."

Qinghan opened his eyes slightly and looked at me: "Light."

"Qinghan, you are the one who is destined to suffer."

"..."

"No matter how good it is, I don't want it."

"..."

"I only want you."

"..."

Hearing this sentence, he didn't say anything more, he just looked at me for a long time, his eyes were a little red, and finally slowly raised his hand and stretched out to me, with a low and hoarse voice: "Come here."

I gritted my teeth and put my hand into his palm. It was immediately held tightly. With just one pull, I fell into his arms and felt the solid and gentle chest rising and falling violently.

, I grabbed his shirt tightly: "Qinghan."

He didn't say another word, he just hugged me hard, and when his slightly trembling lips pressed against my forehead, the hot touch seemed to be marked with his mark. It will be his for the rest of his life.

I had the urge to shed tears. I put my hands around his thin waist and hugged him hard, as if that was the promise between me and him, just for a moment, and then forever.

At that moment, I really thought it would be forever.

However, at this time, I forgot to put my brand on him...

The weather is slowly starting to get hotter.

Even the dense shade of trees above the head cannot block the scorching temperature brought by the sun. The scattered light spots pour on the river, which is almost blinding.

Fortunately, the ever-flowing river water still has a warm and cool breath, which makes us two "savages" who almost drink blood like hair and blood feel much more comfortable.

After I just caught two fish and grilled them, I still couldn't bear to put on my shoes and socks. I sat on the bank and soaked my bare feet in the river water. The cool river water flowed around my snow-white ankles, and occasionally there were small fish playing.

He swam over and rubbed my feet, causing bursts of itching.

I couldn't help laughing and reached out to touch the fish. The fish was also clever. As soon as my fingertips entered the water, it swished away and disappeared with a splash.

Qinghan saw it from the side and laughed: "You are so small, you are willing to catch it?"

"I'll just play for a while."

"These small fish are the most clever. They can feel when someone is in the river. They are difficult to catch."

I looked at him curiously: "I remember that you used to catch small fish by the river and bring them back to make soup. How did you catch them?"

Qing Han smiled: "Although these small fish are smart, they are only sensitive to danger. If the surroundings are peaceful and quiet, they will have no sense of crisis at all. Therefore, we often use stones to build a small pond in shallow water.

It is lower than the water surface, and if you sprinkle small sandworms or something in it, they will swim in and eat it. When the river water recedes, these small fish will not be able to get out."

"Oh..."

I nodded and looked down at the little fish that swam back and played between my ankles. I couldn't help but smile bitterly at that picture of a person who didn't know the feeling of sorrow and only wanted peace and happiness.

It turns out that being trapped is just how you get trapped.

Qinghan sat next to me and took off his shoes and socks. I immediately said: "Be careful of catching a cold."

He smiled and said: "How can I be that weak? It's okay."

After saying that, he dipped his bare feet into the river, and a few small fish swam over and nibbled on his toes, having a great time.

Our feet were close together, which highlighted his dark skin even more. My ankles were as white as snow. I couldn't help but smile and stepped on his feet with my bare feet: "Look at how dark your feet are."

He couldn't help but choke me: "It's just you."

"It's whiter than you." I said and stepped on it again: "How long has it been since you washed your feet? They are so dirty."

"Nonsense, I wash it every day."

"It's still so dark."

"This is innate."

"So you are called evil, but you still don't admit it."

……

Facts have proved that even two of the most sensible adults are sometimes more childish than children when they are together. The two of them just step on me and I step on you, causing water to splash. My skin is white, and the insteps of my feet are not.

He was stepped on red after two times. I was not convinced and stepped on his instep so hard that it made a crackling sound, but his dark skin did not turn red no matter how hard I stepped on it.

Suffered a loss...

The two laughed and joked for a while, and he said: "Okay, is it a tie? I want to eat some fruit."

I patted his knee hard: "You really are an uncle!"

He sat there and looked at me with a smile, and I couldn't help but laugh: "Wait until I go over there and look for it."

After living in this valley for such a long time, I have almost picked most of the fruits around me. When my strength is better, I can pick the fruits on the trees. But it is not autumn now, and in the end I am just sitting on nothing. I will go to the side.

After a long walk, I finally saw a clump of low trees with clusters of small coral-red fruits. I hurriedly picked them and walked back.

As soon as I walked not far from the cave, I heard the sound of gurgling water. I walked around a forest and took a look. I saw Qinghan standing naked/upper body in the middle of the river, scrubbing slowly.

He had his back to me, and I could see his back at a glance.

His figure is slightly thin, not as tall as a martial artist like Shen Xiaokun, but a lean and strong physique tempered by years of hard work. His lines are tight and beautiful, and his dark skin is covered with a thin layer of water.

Reflecting the sunlight, it reveals a honey-colored luster, like a large piece of beeswax.

However, those hideous stab wounds on the back, running across the dark skin, looked a bit shocking.

His recovery from his injuries is not bad. After all, he is a young man and has survived from the most difficult place. Naturally, he can withstand these injuries better than some delicate and expensive people.

Although these injuries don't matter now, just like the painful memories of the past, I can one day talk about it with a smile. But when I think of the tragic situation at that time, I still can't help but be afraid, because maybe if the knife goes deeper,

If it gets any heavier, I might lose him. He also knows that, so he puts me away from me when applying medicine to my body in the past few days, and he does it himself.

At this time, he had finished scrubbing and carefully wiped the water off his body with his clothes. When he turned around, he saw me walking over. He hurriedly put on his clothes and smiled at me: "You'd better hurry up."

I handed the fruit over: "Here, eat it."

He took it with a smile, sat on the ground and ate it, and handed one to me. I shook my head and didn't take it. I just sat next to him and leaned lightly on his shoulder. He ate it for a while, then turned around.

Seeing my somewhat sad look, he said softly: "Are you still scared?"

"..."

"Didn't I say it? It's okay."

"..."

"It just looks a little ugly, but it doesn't hurt at all."

As he said that, he seemed to want to amuse me and said with a smile: "I also want to be an uncle in the future and have a wife to rub my back. How can you do this?"

"..." I finally couldn't help it and rolled my eyes at him, and he laughed.

But when he smiled like this, my heart was no longer so heavy. I just looked back at his back and said softly: "Is it really okay?"

He nodded: "The wound is almost healed, but sometimes there is throbbing pain inside. It always feels like this when it heals."

I stretched out my hand to caress his back. Through a layer of wet clothes, I could feel the uneven scars and ravines under my palm, which were rising and falling slightly with his breathing. It seemed that it really didn't matter.

I thought for a while and said: "Qinghan, since you are almost healed——"

"Huh?"

"Let's go."

"Let's go?" He was stunned for a moment and said: "You mean-"

"You promised to come with me. We have to leave here, leave everyone here, and go find Li'er."

This time, he did not refuse or hesitate. After being silent for a while, he put a handful of fruit into his mouth, chewed it, swallowed it, and said, "Okay!"

Once the two of us made up our minds, things went much faster. I caught a few more fish, grilled them, and took them with me. I also found some wild fruits to make dry food with. When I fell from the top, there were still a few things on my head.

The pearls and greens given by Chang Qing have not fallen off. It will be easier to handle when there are people around. But if you are walking on the grassland, food is particularly important.

Although Qinghan's injury was no longer serious, it could not be compared to when he was completely fine. After the two people left the cave where they temporarily lived, they walked upstream along the river, stopping and walking for nearly two days.

, I heard a loud thunderous noise coming from ahead.

It's the sound of waterfalls.

The waterfall was like a silver ribbon, hanging high on the river valley. The huge impact pushed out a deep pool below. The water splashed up as high as a person. The diffuse water mist reflected in the sunlight.

The seven-color rainbow is particularly beautiful.

This was Qinghan's first time seeing this waterfall, and he was stunned, standing there unable to walk.

I said loudly: "Qinghan! Qinghan!"

After shouting for a long time, he finally came back to his senses and turned to look at me blankly. I said loudly: "Why are you in such a daze!"

The sound of water almost covered my voice, and it took several repetitions for him to hear it clearly. He swallowed and said something to me, which I couldn't hear clearly. When I asked him what he said, he said loudly: "Light."
To be continued...
