Hua Ling stood up, brushed off the leaves and dust on his body, put on the clothes he had taken off when Lu Yu applied the medicine and bandaged them, and waved to Lu Ya. Lu Ya landed on Hua Ling's shoulder.
Lu pressed against his master and lowered his head guiltily.
"Are Gu Xiangqiu and the others looking for me now?" Hua Ling asked Lu Ya, who nodded.
"Looks like we have to find a way quickly." Hua Ling walked towards a certain direction in the jungle, "I don't know who is bandaging me."
"ah!"
Lu Ya suddenly shouted, seeming to ask Hua Ling to stay.
"What's going on? Do you want me to wait for him here?"
Hua Ling looked at Lu Ya who was dragging her back in confusion, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and finally stayed under the tree and fell asleep leaning against the trunk.
The sun rises at Mao hour the next day.
Lu Yu brought herbal medicine and washed cloth to Hua Ling to change his dressing, and found that Hua Ling not only changed his sleeping posture but also put on his clothes.
"Did you wake up in the middle of the night?" Lu Yu muttered to himself.
Lu Yu turned his back to Hua Ling, preparing herbs and gauze, when he suddenly heard a voice from behind: "Hello?" He turned his head in fright.
Lu Yu saw Hua Ling looking at him. The man's eyes were reddish, showing some confusion and confusion.
"Wake up...don't move yet!"
Hua Ling was stopped just as she was about to stand up. Lu Yu ordered Hua Ling to sit down, put the prepared herbs aside, stepped forward and removed the cloth from Hua Ling's body, and wiped away the herbs left on Hua Ling's body.
When Lu Yu checked the wound on Hua Ling's chest, he found that it was clearly a wound that penetrated the chest, but the wound on the back had only scars left.
Only when the medicine and bandage were being applied did Lu Yu calm down and talk to Hua Ling.
"My name is Lu Yu, what's yours?"
"Hua Ling, Zi Wushuang."
"Wushuang? It sounds very good."
Lu Yu smiled and repeated Hua Ling's words, and what appeared in his brows seemed to be the joy of finally chatting with a living person after not talking to anyone for a long time.
"Why are you here, Lu Yu?"
Hua Ling looked around. There were trees and weeds everywhere in the canyon, and occasionally a few inconspicuous flowers came into view.
"Because I am a 'monster', I live here alone." Lu Yu bandaged Hua Ling and stroked Hua Ling's strong back muscles. The girl's gentle touch between her fingers calmed Hua Ling.
"Monster?" Hua Ling, who caught the keyword, turned back and looked at Lu Yu.
Lu Yu showed off his fox ears, looking like a "fox demon".
Hua Ling was stunned, and then asked: "Hela?"
Lu Yu was also stunned: "How do you know this name?"
At this time, Hua Ling suddenly changed back to the appearance of a girl, and her whole body shrank, but the bandage still wrapped the injured area docilely.
Hua Ling looked down at herself who suddenly turned into a woman, and smiled sheepishly at Lu Yu: "I am Qitian, Fang Qitian."
…
Fortunately, Hua Ling's body shape has not changed much, and her clothes can still be worn well without dragging the floor.
Lu Yu listened to Hua Ling's talk about the arrival of the gods and the affairs between countries, and accepted this setting with a smile.
Hua Ling stood up and waved to Lu Ya, who was parked on the branch, and stretched out her arm for him to stay: "Lu Ya."
Lu Yafei came down and flapped his wings a few times and stood on Hua Ling's arm. He didn't seem to care about Hua Ling's sudden change from a man to a woman.
"Is this your pet?" Lu Yu asked curiously when he saw Lu Ya obeying Hua Lingyan.
"It can't be called a pet, my friend." Hua Ling poked Lu Ya's beak with her finger to tease him, and Lu Ya also pecked Hua Ling's head with his beak.
Lu Yu stared at Lu Ya for a while. Last night's scene came to mind. Lu Yu suddenly came to Lu Ya's side and grabbed Lu Ya. He lifted up his tail feathers to check what was going on.
Lu Yu's idea was soon verified when she saw Lu Ya's third claw hidden under his tail feathers.
"This is the three-legged golden crow."
"Three...ah?"
Hua Ling was surprised and took over the irritable Lu Ya from Lu Yu's hands. After returning to Hua Ling's hands, Lu Ya calmed down. Hua Ling also saw the hidden claw that Lu Yu had found.
"When I first came here, the nearby animals told me that the legendary Golden Crow is nearby, but I have never seen it." Lu Yu made a face at Lu Ya, who stared at him fiercely, "It seems that he
like you very much."
"It's obviously just an ordinary crow." Hua Ling touched Lu Ya's head. Lu Ya was so close to him that he couldn't tell that he was a sacred beast that should be aloof.
"Ah!" Lu Ya fluttered his feathers.
"Not to mention that all mythical beasts can talk. Crows have been trained to make sounds that humans can understand. Are you afraid that Wushuang will dislike you so you don't speak?" Lu Yu looked at Lu with contemptuous eyes.
Press, Lu Ya responded with a vicious look.
Lu Ya and Lu Yu stared at each other. Hua Ling helplessly blocked their intertwined gazes and sighed: "Okay, why bother with this kind of thing?"
"Did you get the name 'Lu Ya' for him, or did he already have it?"
"He has never spoken in front of me, and I don't know if he does."
Lu Yu nodded in agreement, confirming that Lu Ya recognized Hua Ling as his master and was so intimate with her.
Hua Ling asked Lu Yu if there was a way up to the cliff nearby, but Lu Yu pointed Hua Ling to look at Lu Ya on his shoulder.
"He can fly and can definitely take you up. The power of a beast like him is infinite." Lu Yu explained, "My power has become significantly stronger since I accepted the identity of the 'fox demon'."
Hua Ling and Lu Ya looked at each other. Lu Ya flew to the ground and turned into a big boy, and spread his huge wings: "Okay..."
Seeing that Hua Ling had been looking at him, Lu Ya asked strangely: "You don't believe me?"
Unexpectedly, Hua Ling turned around and asked Lu Yu: "Do you want to go up together? To Rui Country."
While Lu Ya was surprised, Lu Yu agreed to Hua Ling's invitation. Lu Yu pulled Lu Ya's hand, and Hua Ling was held by Lu Ya with one hand and flew up the cliff.
"I hate foxes..." Hua Ling heard Lu Ya muttering to himself during the ascent.
"I haven't held you accountable for hiding your identity yet. Don't always think about treating others badly." Hua Ling said in a volume that was difficult for Lu Yu to hear but could be heard by Lu Ya.
After reaching the cliff, Lu Ya transformed into a crow and landed on Hua Ling's shoulder, burying his head in Hua Ling's hair sadly.
…
Last night, military camp.
During dinner, Gu Xiangqiu discovered that Hua Ling was not there. He would tell her to go anywhere and come back before evening for dinner.
In so many days, Gu Xiangqiu has never seen Hua Ling not active in eating, but this time he came late, which shouldn't be the case. But he thought that maybe he had gone too far just once or twice, and he should be back soon, so he didn't
over thinking.
It wasn't until he finished eating and was about to wash up that Gu Xiangqiu realized that he hadn't come back yet and Lu Ya wasn't here either. Something happened. Something must have happened.
