Chapter 4 (2)

Nangong Xue said "um" and said again: "We won't talk about this anymore. But there is another question that bothered me very much. Do you think Menglin and the others have hidden a lot of things from us?" Li Yijie said: "How do you say this?"

Nangong Xue said: "Although everyone has been inseparable these days, they have never really opened their hearts. They are all secretive about their own background. Just talking about Miss Yun, do you think she is really because of famine? I said she must be the lady of a wealthy family, and even if it is famine, it should not affect her. If she takes a step back, she should be with her family. If her parents are willing to make sacrifices, they will starve to death, what can they help Miss Yun?"

Li Yijie said: "It is much easier to go to the royal palace to join the palace alone than to go to the whole family. Even if it is a famous family, the current situation is now chaotic and the family suddenly declines. Yun'er is a lonely and helpless weak woman, why should you always target her?" He felt indescribable pity for Shen Shiyun. When he tried his best to explain to Nangong Xue, he was also convinced himself.

Nangong Xue sighed and said, "Since you have already determined that Miss Yun is a good person, it is useless to say more. But Liechen and Menglin are too enthusiastic about Duanhunhui. They have long exceeded the scope of "interest", so don't you feel suspicious?"

Li Yijie said: "Menglin wants to see the tears of soul-breaking souls. Girls are always more interested in accessories!" He is free and cheerful by nature, and never cared about the subtleties. Nangong Xue was very delicate and said: "You don't understand, they always speak the word "get". And that look is nothing different from those decent greedy people - it is clearly the expression that wants to take it for themselves!"

Li Yijie was speechless for a while. Nangong Xue knew that he had always valued friendship the most. Just now, these words were indeed a bit too much. Thinking that when he was arrogant, he would comfort him with kind words, but at this moment he was thinking randomly. Tu Zeng's senior brother was upset and apologized. He gently held his hand. Li Yijie held her back and looked at her side face. He looked more beautiful under the moonlight. His eyelashes drooped, but his expression was very sad. He also seemed to be covered with a layer of water mist, which was intertwined with Shen Shiyun's beautiful figure in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

Nangong Xue was also looking at him. The two of them looked at each other, and their faces turned red, and they all turned their heads away. Li Yijie looked up at a bright moon in the night sky, while Nangong Xue was staring at the shadow of the moon in the water. At this moment, the lake and mountains were shining, and the water was lingering. The two of them only felt the temperature of each other's palms silently, hoping that time would stay at this moment.

In a daze, Nangong Xue screamed "Ah," she threw off his hand, jumped up and said, "Why is my clothes wet?" Li Yijie was about to laugh at her girl who was interested in these trivial matters. Suddenly, a huge hole was broken in the middle of the ship, and water was pouring in from it. In a flash, the ship was filled with water. Li Yijie shouted, "Shipman! Shipman!" But no one answered. Nangong Xue had already run to the bow of the ship, but where was the trace of the Shipman?

Li Yijie suddenly woke up and said, "No, we have fallen into the trap! This boatman must be the subordinate of Lord Cao. He was wary of someone robbing the robbery, so he arranged for people to drive a boat to wait on the shore. If the boatman did have this idea, he would drill through the boat and teach us to bury them all in the river."

Nangong Xue said: "This person is very meticulous, so what should we do now?" Li Yijie said: "I can't help but think of a way to fill the hole first, and then scoop the water in the cabin!"

However, the boat was empty, but there was nothing to replenish. Just as the forehead was in full swing, the sky suddenly rolled again, like a huge iron pot pressing down, which made people breathless. A dazzling lightning flashed through the sky like a sharp sword, a huge thunder roar, and a heavy rain poured in. It really responded to "the house leaked and rained all night long". In the vast sea, how could this dilapidated boat withstand such wind and waves? Seeing that it was about to sink, Li Yijie suddenly thought that Shen Shiyun was still resting in the cabin, and was shocked and rushed into the rescue.

The strong wind blew the waves and hit the boat heavily. After a while, the boards were broken everywhere. Li Yijie held Shen Shiyun and leaned on a crossbar, and suffered several big waves in succession. His physical strength was no longer enough and he gradually lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, I was in a dense forest, with towering ancient trees around me, and some light shone through the cracks of the trees. I thought I had floated here with the crossbows of the trees last night. Although I had arrived at a deserted island, I was finally not buried at the bottom of the sea. It was a blessing. Although the heavy rain seemed like a different life, Li Yijie still felt scared. He turned around and saw Shen Shiyun lying beside him, resting on a flat grass, with long wet hair spreading on his shoulders, pale face, breathing was still even, and he seemed safe and sound, and his heart was calm.

Walking alone to the deep forest, a fire was raising to dry the wet clothes. At this moment, I knew that my life was not hindered, so I felt hungry and thirsty. Seeing that some wild fruits were born on the tree, I didn't care about anything else, I used my light skills and jumped up to the tree. Anyway, it was a masterless fruit, so I didn't need to avoid it, and I took it to fill my hunger. The entrance was extremely sweet. Li Yijie hurriedly picked some more and put them in his arms, and then turned around.

After a while, Shen Shiyun had woken up and asked, "Brother Li, where are we?" Li Yijie briefly said the danger last night, stuffed another fruit into her hand, and comforted her, "It's okay now!" Then he thought that Nangong Xueshang's life and death were uncertain, so he couldn't help but secretly scold himself for being confused. Shen Shiyun was very understanding, and saw through the reason for his troubles and said, "Brother Li, go and find Miss Xueer, it's not a big deal for me to be here alone."

Li Yijie said, "Okay, be careful." Wuxiao was polite to her and went to search for her. Fortunately, she was not far away and saw Nangong Xue leaning against a big tree sobbing, throwing a long sword broken into two pieces on the ground. Li Yijie was overjoyed and rushed forward to hold her shoulder. He said, "Xue'er, you're fine! I'm relieved!" Nangong Xue waved her arms and said coldly, "Is there anything I have to do with you? I've died long ago, so what are you doing now?"

Li Yijie knew that she was extremely unhappy, so he raised his hand and slapped himself heavily, and said, "I was bad last night, so I'll apologize to you!" Nangong Xue said angrily, "Who wants you to compensate me, right? Let me ask you, if Miss Yun and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?" Li Yijie said, "I, this, naturally..."

Nangong Xue sneered, "Can't you answer? But you have told me with your actions that you chose her at the critical moment of life and death. You only have her safety in your eyes. You don't care about me, so I'm drowned!" As he said that, he felt sore in his nose and almost burst into tears. Li Yijie apologized in every way, and Nangong Xue always said, "What are you talking about with the dead?"

It is still unknown whether she can survive in the Central Plains for no reason. Listening to her unreasonable complaints, even if she has a good temper, she will be unable to bear it. Li Yijie gradually lost his patience and said, "Xue'er, how long will you make a fuss? Are you happy to be dead?" With a "swish" sound, Nangong Xue was shocked and hurriedly pressed the hilt of his sword and said, "What are you doing? You want to prove your feelings to me, but you don't have to kill Miss Yun! I... I'm not such a vicious person."

Li Yijie said laughing and cryingly: "Who said I want to kill Yun'er? I mean that if you die, I will not live alone. I will commit suicide to accompany you!" Nangong Xue liked him very much, but she still pouted and said angrily: "Who wants you not to explain it clearly! Humph, I can only say something nice to make me happy. Hey, give me the sword, and I will also cut down the tree."

Li Yijie said that she had already coaxed herself to her anger, but she had a child's temper again. She said helplessly: "You want to vent your anger, just come and cut me down! The tree didn't mess with you!" Nangong Xue said angry and funny: "You think my anger is too small. I want to build a raft, otherwise I will stay here for the rest of my life?" Li Yijie realized it immediately and smiled and said, "I am confused." Nangong Xue snorted and said, "That's not your fault. Who makes your mind think about Miss Yun, and you can't tolerate anything else!"

Li Yijie's face turned red and he argued strongly: "You should say that I have far-sighted thinking. If you have the deep internal strength of a master, you just need to pat it gently, which is no problem. But if you and I have insufficient cultivation, cutting trees with brute force is tantamount to hitting stones with eggs. The long sword must be cut off!" Nangong Xue glanced at the two broken swords on the ground, and felt bitter in her heart, and said: "Who can't speak vernacularly! If you have the ability, come up with a way that works!"

Li Yijie said, "Let me think about it." He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to meditate. At this moment, he wanted to atone for his sins, but his mind was filled with various thoughts. He thought, "There are many trees here, all of which are great materials for building rafts. But this is like a mountain of gold and silver placed in front of you. It is a waste of time to put your eyes on it, but you can't take it away. Alas, the magic weapon that cuts iron like mud... Where can I find it now? It takes time for internal skills to achieve it, and it cannot be achieved overnight, so what should I do?"

Suddenly, Nangong Xue said, "Hey, what are you doing?" His tone was extremely irritable. When he saw Shen Shiyun walking, he said softly, "I am worried about Miss Xueer, so I came to see you now." Nangong Xue glared at her and squeezed out from the gap of her teeth, "Thank you!" The voice was completely unhappy.

Shen Shiyun only did not realize it, and said, "It's all because of me that everyone has fallen to this point. Yun'er is really a shame." Nangong Xue said coldly: "You don't need to worry about it. We are just to cut off our souls, not for you." Li Yijie advised: "Xue'er!" Nangong Xue said angrily: "What are you doing? Have you figured out the way?"

Li Yijie thought of it and said, "Yun'er, we have a difficult task now that we are troubled. You are smart and must have an idea!" He said that he wanted to cut wood and build a raft but had no choice but to do it. Shen Shiyun pondered for a moment and said, "I have an idea, but it is not known whether it is feasible or not. There are many sharp stones here, so we polished Brother Li's sword into a saw, turning strength into clever force, which should avoid the disadvantage of insufficient internal strength."

Li Yijie said happily: "It's good! In this way, even a child who knows martial arts can cut wood. In the future, I will become famous with this sawing sword, and I will be awarded the title of "Sword Saw Hero". That's all your credit!" Shen Shiyun only smiled slightly.

Last night, when the boat sank in the storm, Jiang Liechen and Chu Menglin were on the large ship of the escort agency. Chu Menglin told Li Yijie and others that when they arrived in Chang'an, they would take action before they could stabilize the three of them, so that they could sneak onto the boat in the middle of the night and take the Broken Soul Tears to reply. As for the escort of Shen Shiyun, it had nothing to do with him. However, being inside the escort ship was several times larger than what they saw on the shore, and the cabin was divided into "upper cabin", "middle cabin" and "bottom cabin". The bottom cabin was mostly a place for piles of miscellaneous things, but the two of them dared not relax and searched one by one. How could they know that the old escort leader Long had a long-term plan and would not mix the escort box into the miscellaneous things and cover it up?
