Under such gaze, Qi Return to Origin walked to the stream and sat down with a depressed face. He took off his shoes and fished up his trouser legs, soaking his feet in the cool running water. He placed the sword beside him within reach.

“I have a little dried fruit, do you want to eat it?”

After squinting his eyes and breathing out a long breath comfortably, Qi Return to Origin took out a bunch from his sleeve Mouth a small cloth bag.

“Dried fruit?”

Is it eaten? The girl who asked in this way had never heard anything from the other person.

“Damn it, do you want to start from here?!”

“I’m sorry.”

“You simply don’t mean anything, right?”

Gazed at the expressionless girl, Qi Return to Origin couldn’t help but spit out. “Really!” He muttered, and untied the cloth bag. The colorful dried fruit inside immediately printed on the purple eyes, like a star under the gleam of the moon.

“These all are made with fresh fruits that I picked from the mountainside. They are sweet and taste good. I am still a little confident in my craft. How about it, do you want some “

“Is it candied fruit?”

The ears moved, and the little fish stared at the dried fruits intently.

Huzi once shared something similar, the sweet and sour taste girls are still unforgettable.

“Wow, do you know candied fruit?” Qi Return to Origin twisted out a piece of dried fruit and threw it into his mouth. “Actually it is almost the same, but it is still a bit different. These dried fruits have not been pickled with honey. It’s just dry. Um… There is no sweetness, but the taste is more natural. I prefer this.”

The youth shook the bag up and down, and the dried fruits collided with each other and made a slight noise.

“How about? Come on.” He asked twice.

The girl looked at the young man’s hearty expression, and then at the dried fruit in the bag. The little warning left in her eyes finally disappeared, leaving only a faint expectation.

The young man who sees everything smiles to himself, thinking that although the girl is armed and strong on the surface, she is actually a child that’s all attracted by food. If she deliberately deceives her, she may be fooled no matter how many times. Right.

As expected by the young man, Xiaoyu approached tentatively.

She stared at the dried fruit and hesitated for a while, then cautiously reached out and took out a small piece of dried fruit that was red on the outside and yellow on the inside. She chose hawthorn and put it in front of her nose and smelled it. smell.

She might be suspicious of poison, but can that really be distinguished by smell? Qi Return to Origin sighed.

After persuading herself to try a little, the girl threw the dried fruit into her mouth.

The taste of dried fruit is quite elastic. When it falls on the tongue, the texture is obviously dry, but after the mouth water is sufficiently moist, it emits bursts of sweet and sour taste. A little bit of chewing and sweat overflow. A deep aftertaste remains between the lips, teeth and tongue.

Yummy! The girl’s eyes widened with surprise burst into dazzling light.

With only one attempt, Xiaoyu fell in love with this kind of food, and immediately showed a desire for “more”, and his eyes fixedly peeked into the bag.

Even if she didn’t speak, Qi Return to Origin would understand her meaning only from her reaction.

“I can’t finish it, you can take it all if you like it.”

Qi Return to Origin, just throw out the bag full of dried fruit.

Xiaoyu’s eyes have been nailed to the bag, and when the bag was thrown out, her gaze also instinctively chased after her. It took a long time for her to return to her senses, and put her palms firmly together before the bag hits the ground. then.

I don’t know what magical technique Qi Return to Origin used, but none of the dried fruit in the bag was thrown out.

“Can it be?”

Is it really okay to just give me such a delicious thing? Xiaoyu asked in a daze because he was too surprised.

“It’s not a good thing.”

Qi Return to Origin reluctantly rolled the eyes, and then took out only a small cloth bag from his sleeve.

Some dry food.

Looking at the young man chewing something similar to jerky, Xiaoyu fell into a moment of silence, but in the end it was not enough to resist the temptation of dried fruit. After all, it was the best food she had ever eaten. thing.

She grabbed a handful of dried fruit and stuffed it into her mouth, her cheeks bulged.

The similar but inconsistent fruit flavor spreads in the mouth, and the small fish seems to be forgetful, even the corners of the mouth are stained with dried fruit debris.

It is too early for her to say she is out of the “childish” stage, and the young man laughed unconsciously.

“What are you laughing at?”

The little fish frowned and tilted his head. His serious expression made people feel like a ghost.

Qi Return to Origin wanted to tease her for a while, but if he really said his inner thoughts, he didn’t know it would cause this girl—a girl who looks strong, but is actually sensitive and slender—and so on Such a reaction, so I had to give up.

“Drink some water.”

With a slight change of topic, Qi Return to Origin coughed slightly, and handed out a leather water bag.

This water bag is still transformed from his sleeve.

How many things are there? The little fish couldn’t help being curious, but still hid the problem in his heart, and reached out to the water bag. After unplugging the plug, she leaned close to the water bag and sniffed it vigorously. Maybe she suspected it was wine.

Qi Return to Origin knows that she may not be suspicious of what she is, it is very likely that she is just being persecuted and causing suspicious that’s all.

Probably figured out that it was water, she took the narrow mouth of the bag and drank it almost violently, so as to smooth the thirst and itchy throat.

Well, what happened today made her thirsty for a long time.

Not only the throat, but also the heart.

However, water can’t nourish people’s hearts, and she can’t drink enough water.

The young man looked at her silently, the bright red of the girl’s skin stained red and white made his thoughts complicated.

After a while, the girl drank the water in the water bag and hiccuped quietly. She seemed a little embarrassed about it, her tail curled into a ball.

It’s almost there. Qi Return to Origin estimated that the time was almost right, so he raised the question “Will you not sit down?” and pointed to his side at the same time.

“I…”

The girl hesitated for a while without moving.

After hearing Qi Return to Origin pretending to be injured, saying that she had eaten that many things of herself, but refused to comply with her little request, she finally hobbled away Sit down next to him.

She didn’t lift up her skirt, so she went to Return to Origin and soaked her dirty and cut little feet in the water. The skirt became wet in an instant.

The girl’s blood immediately stained the water.

With the flow of water, a long bright red is drawn out of the stream. She—this little girl just dragged the feet of the pair of riddled with scars, chasing the youth for an hour.

Isn’t she in pain? The young man’s heart softened, and his feelings of pity could not help overflowing.

It may be an anomaly to have compassion for Wu Yao, but Qi Return to Origin has been an outlier from birth. An outstanding existence different from ordinary people.

And he has long been accustomed to the distinctive look of the outside world.

──Do what you want to do as much as possible.

This is his attitude towards the world until now.

So, the next thing becomes as it should be by rights.

“Come on, let me handle it for you.”

As he said, he bent over and grabbed Xiaoyu’s ankle and lifted it to his thigh.

Xiaoyu was taken aback by his sudden behavior, struggling subconsciously, but he was not as strong as a young man, unable to break free, and fell into a situation where he could do nothing for a while.

In fact, she can restore the demon body. The reason she didn’t do this was purely because somewhere in her heart she didn’t want to hurt the youth.

“What are you going to do?”

The little fish stared at Qi Return to Origin and asked in a cold voice, as if his voice was forced out from deep in his throat.

The alert look of baring fangs and brandishing claws at any time carries a sense of bluffing, and the eyes faintly flash with fear that can’t be hidden no matter how concealed.

Her feet are shaking and her body is stiff.

Well, the girl who knows she is no match for the youth is just trying to do her best, trying to arm herself as much as possible.

“Don’t move, I’ll help you treat the wound.” Qi Return to Origin repeated.

He used a serious tone, mixed with a little guilt.

If she hadn’t ignored the girl all the time and walked forward each minding their own business, she would not let the blood flow without processing. This is what Qi Return to Origin thinks.

“You… bleed a lot of blood, right?”

His eyes stayed true to the wound on the girl’s slender leg. They vary in size, but they are equally conspicuous on the snow-white skin.

“…Basically stopped.”

Before answering, Xiaoyu had a short silence. Although faint, her body did relax slightly.

“I still need to clean it a little bit.”

Qi Return to Origin raised his eyes quickly, and after staring at the fish for a while, he emphasized.

However, Xiaoyu still shook his head.

“It’s okay–“

“If you want me to protect you, you have to listen to me.”

The young man’s unexpectedly strong speech was scared The little fish jumped, and the bag with dried fruit leaned aside, and the things spattered and fell into the water.

The frightened eyes strongly call people’s desire for abuse.

And she must have known this, she quickly turned her eyes away, reaching out to pick up the dried fruit that fell on the stone, but she was held on her shoulder by the youth.

“Sit down.”

Wait for any response from her, Qi Return to Origin maintained the position of pressing Xiaoyu’s right foot on his thigh with one hand, and the other He took up some clean water, and washed it diagonally on the glaring wounds.

Seeing that this is the end of the matter, Xiaoyu no longer resists, letting the youth do whatever it takes. Her body is still a little stiff.

The water is cold, and it hurts a bit when it touches the wound.

Then, there was a slight itching. She felt that the burning sensation on the wound had subsided, and the brows that had been frowned by the pain immediately relaxed.

Tentatively cleaned up the wounds on the limbs, Qi Return to Origin took out a small porcelain bottle-he still took it out of his sleeve. He first explained that it was Golden Skin Medicine, lest the girl had any weird suspicions, then he pulled out the cork, the medicine of assaults the senses refreshed the girl.

“It may be a little bit painful, but bear with me.”

Hearing Qi Return to Origin’s brief reminder, Xiaoyu is nodded as if there is no place. The other party then praised her as a “good child”, she showed an unnatural expression, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

However, next moment she frowned again.

“Woo…”

The medicine powder in the porcelain bottle fell on the wound, and the severe pain that followed caused the little fish to produce a fire that burned the wound. illusion. She bit her lower lip and tolerated, still unable to restrain the scream that surged to her throat.

The pain subsided quickly, but the slight burning sensation remaining on the wound was still unbearable.

This process was repeated several times.

After returning to Origin, all the wounds on his hands and feet were treated with medicine, and after he unwrapped the bag and took out a spare cloth to bandage, the girl realized that the corners of her eyes were already covered. Tears, so he reached out to wipe the tears.

“Good child.”

Qi Return to Origin laughed and praised Xiaoyu again.

This time, he touched the girl’s head, but she did not resist the palm of Hegemon who could almost cover her head. The young man’s hands are not as rough as Xiaoyu imagined. The life of long-term sword practice seems to have not at all left many marks on him.

“Next, you can only deal with the wounds on the body by yourself…”

It is a return to origin who does not care much about the common customs. Can’t help but show embarrassment.

“Well, is my boyfriend giving or receiving…” He scratched his head to explain why.

After all, I have been with the villagers for a period of time. The little fish who is not very familiar with the world still understands the meaning of Qi Return to Origin, knowing that the private parts of women’s bodies cannot be seen casually by men.

Seeing the girl nodded signaling that she understands, Qi Return to Origin relaxed with relief, and then “Fortunately, I didn’t want me to help you…” so he said.

“Are you going to help me?”

As soon as Xiaoyu asked, Qi Return to Origin coughed a few times as if choking.

“no no no, I’m not interested in little girls–cough, let’s do it yourself. I avoid it, and I just happened to collect some firewood to make a fire.”

After standing up with the long sword in a panic, Return to Origin looked around all around, seeming to observe the surrounding environment.

“tsk tsk, by the water anyway, let’s spend the night here tonight.”

He touched the chin and made the decision quite satisfied.

“…Don’t you need to protect them?”

The little fish who got up pointed to the small flames in the distance, and threw this abrupt question.

For a girl who is born with excellent eyesight, it has long been beyond the visible distance of ordinary people’s eyesight, and it is not worth mentioning. Even if she is in the dark, she can still See it clearly.

Those moving fire sources are actually several torches, and the same number of holders and their companions wear clothes similar to those of Qi Return to Origin, the only difference is None of them have outer jackets. Based on this, the girl judged that those people were all companions of Qi Return to Origin, so she asked this question.

“Hey, if you want…but it’s only a minimum protection! Too close, there is no sense of experience.”

Little fish seems to understand. “Oh” said.

“I will give you the things first.”

Qi Return to Origin stuffed Xiaoyu with the remaining medicine and cloth strips, and then another thing came to mind.

“Will the medicine work?”

“Yes.”

The girl also saw Qi Return to Origin just now, and the method used was different It’s not difficult, if you can’t remember this, it would be too insulting to your IQ.

“Oh, that’s good.”

Relax the originally tense shoulders and snap your fingers together in Return to Origin.

“Then I will collect firewood sticks first, can you help me look at my baggage?”

Speaking, he pointed to the baggage next to him, why Making this request is expressing a kind of “I will not run away on excuses”.

“I see.”

The little fish who knows it well is nodded.

“Wait for me here.”

After speaking, Qi Return to Origin walked into the forest without looking back.

The girl who stayed in the same place looked at his leaving back for a while without moving.

When the other person’s silhouette disappeared into the darkness of the forest, she realized that there were some tears in her eyes.

──So warm.

Without a trace of falsehood, and no need to find ways to cater, the tenderness that she can still get from others, this is probably what she has been longing for.
