The team was divided into six teams, each with fifteen people. Xiao Zhen was in the sixth team and looked at his team. They were all very energetic. The bows on their backs were obviously good bows.

There are enough arrows in the quiver. Looking back, I have an old bow that has been used for several years, with ten arrows. I think that if I can get a reward this time, I will buy a good bow.

Si Mo sat at the top and looked coldly at the crowds of people below. Wuyue was surrounded by mountains. The people here relied on the mountains to feed themselves, and there were many hunters. Therefore, there was such a competition every year. Since he came to Wuyue, he would do it as a routine.

Come and have a look, and then go back to Beijing after watching it.

Hearing the sound of entering the mountain, Si Mo stood up and was about to leave when watching the hunters walking towards the mountain, when a tall figure attracted his attention.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Wu Xin saw His Highness suddenly stand up and look at the hunters entering the mountain.

There is only one figure in the world that he will never admit to being wrong, that is Xiao Zhen. In his last life, he almost grew up watching Xiao Zhen's back, that extremely petite but tall figure, that obviously petite but just let...

People feel that the tall figure has protected him year after year.

Seeing that the back figure was about to disappear, if she disappeared, he would definitely not be able to find her in such a big mountain. Si Mo didn't have time to say anything back to Wu Xin, so he used his Qinggong with all his strength and flew towards Xiao Zhen.

The weather has not been very good these days, and even if there is sunshine, it only lasts for a short time.

Xiao Zhen's team was walking to the north. To the north was a large deep forest. If one stood on the mountain peak, the forest was so deep that one could not see the end of it.

As we entered the deep mountains, it quickly became dark, and the only bit of sunlight disappeared.

Two hours later, the people in their team began to separate and leave.

The familiar ones pulled each other away, while the unfamiliar ones left alone, and Xiao Zhen was also alone.

As we walked further inside, there was already a smell of rotten wood, which was caused by not seeing the sun for many years.

Xiao Zhen took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and opened them again. There was light in her eyes, adding a sparkling color to her black and white eyes. The next moment, she ran towards the left, and after a while she saw

A pheasant suddenly flew out. Xiao Zhen took out an arrow from his waist and hit the pheasant in the chest.

"Very good, dinner is ready." Xiao Zhen picked up the pheasant and threw it into the small basket behind his back.

Xiao Zhen ate the steamed buns her mother made for her for lunch. After eating, she started walking into the mountain again. Every few steps she took, she would mark the tree to help her find her way out.

From time to time, many wild animals would run over, but Xiao Zhen did not catch them until nightfall. Except for a pheasant, she did not take action.

It was dangerous to go out at night, so Xiao Zhen found a cave and planned to use it as a place to sleep tonight. After piling up dry firewood, he found a creek and cleaned up the chickens before entering the cave and lighting a fire.

The sound of firewood crackling and the aroma of pheasant chicken suddenly stirred up people's taste buds.

Just when Xiao Zhen was about to tear off a chicken leg and gnaw it, a figure suddenly broke into the cave.

Xiao Zhen's movements were frozen as she opened her mouth wide and tried to bite the chicken leg in one bite, looking straight at the young master who appeared in front of her.

The young master was still wearing the same dark brocade robe as in the morning. He was panting slightly. He must have been running hastily. A little sweat appeared on his pretty face and forehead. He looked at her deeply and coldly. After a while, he looked away.

Face.

"Young Master?" Xiao Zhen couldn't hide his surprise, "Why are you here? Are you here to hunt too?"

Si Mo hummed softly. When he saw her figure, he followed her footsteps without thinking. He chased in a hurry and didn't care about the calls of Wu Xin and Chen Qin behind him. He just wanted to find her quickly.

She, in this life, does not know martial arts. Although the depths of Jinwan Mountain are not as dangerous as the Emperor, it is enough for a fourteen-year-old girl to have something happen.

"Where are Brother Wu and Brother Chen?" Xiao Zhen glanced outside the cave. There should be no one there.

"Lost."

Xiao Zhen: "Were you walking in such a hurry? Besides, those two eldest brothers are good at martial arts. Is it possible that the young master can move so fast?"

"Here you go." Xiao Zhen tore off another chicken leg and gave it to him: "You haven't had dinner yet, have you?"

Si Mo stared at the chicken leg for a moment, and looked at her with deep eyes. The firelight flickered, making Xiao Zhen's delicate face come alive, especially those black and white eyes, which were clear and gentle, making people unable to help themselves.

Wanting to get closer, this is another side that Si Mo has never seen.

Xiao Zhen stuffed the chicken leg into Si Mo's hand and gnawed it one bite at a time. When he finished one chicken leg, he saw the young master still looking at him blankly. When their eyes met, he lowered his head and bit into the chicken leg.

This person is really elegant when it comes to eating, looks good, and moves well, but his temperament is a little weird.

"Go back." Si Mo suddenly said.

"Do you want to go back?" Xiao Zhen took the chicken carcass and gnawed on it. The pheasants in the mountains were all small and thin. Previously, she felt that one chicken could not satisfy her appetite, so tonight she gave a thigh to the young master, who was not full.

"I mean you. Go back." Si Mo looked at her and spoke firmly.

"Why?"

"It's dangerous in the mountains."

Xiao Zhen was stunned for a moment, then his eyebrows widened and he looked at him with a gentle smile: "Are you concerned about me? Thank you, I promised Wang Yuanwai to participate in the hunting competition, so naturally I can't break my promise, and as a hunter, I can pull out

It's a great honor to be in first place."

"I'll give you the lead."

Xiao Zhen was stunned again and shook his head: "No, what you are given is not considered top priority, and people will talk about it."

Si Mo frowned: "If anyone dares to speak, I will not spare him."

"Young master, you are only ten years old. Don't talk so old-fashioned." Xiao Zhen looked at the child interestingly: "Also, don't frown at all. The two doctors said that day, if you worry too much, you will be worried again.

If this continues, it will be bad for your health."

Seeing that Xiao Zhen didn't take his words seriously, Si Mo felt a little anxious, took her hand and walked out: "I don't allow you to go hunting, it's too dangerous."

Xiao Zhen felt strange. She didn't understand why this young man who didn't even want to be given a ride by her and her brother suddenly cared about her so much.

"It's raining." Si Mo, who walked to the entrance of the cave, saw that the weather that was fine just now was now drizzling. Although the rain was light, it would fall when you hit the trees while walking in the forest. The rain would not be as powerful as a heavy rain.

"Fortunately, I have already brought the hay into the cave. It is enough for the two of us." Xiao Zhen took Si Mo back to the cave: "We will rest in the cave for one night. Brother Wu and the others should be able to find this place tomorrow."

Come."

There was no sound from behind. Xiao Zhen turned around and saw the child staring at her holding his hand in shock.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Si Mo looked up, and an enlarged face suddenly appeared in front of him. His face suddenly turned pale, he shook off her hand and sat on the haystack alone.

This young master had a weird temper, so Xiao Zhen didn't take it seriously, and fiddled with the firewood to make it warmer so that it wouldn't get too cold.

I don’t know how long it took, but when Xiao Zhen looked at Si Mo again, he found that the child had fallen asleep leaning against the cave wall. His little face was too beautiful and delicate. He didn’t know how handsome he would be when he grew up. If he was

This face could be more rosy

Xiao Zhen looked at the young master's pale face and quickly touched his forehead with his hand. He breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have a fever.

Si Mo felt that it had been a long time since she had such a peaceful sleep. Her body was warm and her heart was at ease, as if she had found her home. She slowly opened her eyes, only to find that she was being held in Xiao Zhen's arms. When she looked up again, she saw

Sleeping face.

Every part of this woman's facial features exuded a sense of heroism. When she opened her eyes and smiled, she was gentle everywhere. On the battlefield, she was also decisive in killing. She regarded him as her brother, her king, and her family.

Even more than his own life, and what about him, how did he treat her?

He killed her.

He pushed her away and sent her into the arms of another man.

Now, he promised her that they would not get entangled or meet each other in the next life, but he appeared in front of her repeatedly. He also changed the beginning of his fate. She could not come to the capital, and she and Han Ziran would not be able to see each other again.

She is his, even if she no longer loves him, she is still his, and he will never give her to any man again.

He is still selfish, still small-minded, and still the emperor she would choose to leave.

She wouldn't like him like this.

He doesn't like being like this either, but he can't change it.

Xiao Zhen, who was sleeping soundly, slowly opened her eyes. She was always very alert and would wake up at the slightest disturbance. The young master in her arms was shaking slightly. Was he crying?

I don’t know who said it, but silent crying means that the sadness cannot be resolved.

What kind of thing happened to a ten-year-old child that made him so sad that he couldn't resolve it?

There was a chill on my shoulders, and the chill gradually grew.

The child is really crying.

Xiao Zhen thought for a while and didn't speak. He just started patting his back gently.
