Ye Sili poured water for herself and Xiao Ling respectively before taking a rest.
"Guess what we just discovered?" Xiao Ling and Sili said in a mysterious tone after they met each other.
Gu Liyou and Mu Jiufeng shook their heads in unison, and Mu Jiufeng asked:
"What else is there in this wilderness? Could it be that you have stumbled upon the scene where the body was dumped? Then we have to leave quickly to avoid murder and silence later."
Xiao Ling trembled slightly, gave Mu Jiufeng a blank look, and said:
"Among the four of us, you are the only one who will be thrown away!"
After saying that, he put down his teacup and pointed to the other side of Guilin, and said enthusiastically: "There is a big, big cave just in front of that."
Mu Jiufeng made a "cut" sound and said: "Isn't it normal for there to be caves in this barren mountain?"
Ye Sili and Xiao Ling looked at each other again, suppressing the smiles on their lips, and Gu Liyou laid out the food one by one.
Xiao Ling lowered his head and said slowly: "Indeed, it's not a big deal to have a cave in the wilderness, so..."
"It's normal to have a snake!"
After saying that, Xiao Ling threw out a small snake with black stripes from behind.
"Ahhhh!" Mu Jiufeng jumped two or three meters away, quickly hid behind Gu Liyou, hugged Gu Liyou tightly, and looked at the snake in Xiao Ling's hand warily.
Xiao Ling pinched the seven inches of the snake with one hand, and the whole snake appeared softly in Mu Jiufeng's eyes. Mu Jiufeng only felt his scalp numb.
Xiao Ling looked at the motionless snake in his hand, and then at Mu Jiufeng, whose face turned pale, with a look of surprise on his face.
"So you...are really afraid of snakes? Hahahaha..." Xiao Ling held the snake in his hand and looked at Mu Jiufeng's rare cowardice, laughing so hard that he couldn't stand upright.
"Are you going to smile so obscenely?" Mu Jiufeng looked at Xiao Ling smiling so happily. He felt ashamed for a moment, as if he was looking at a pervert. He raised his finger and pointed at Xiao Ling, with an unreasonable look on his face.
, said angrily:
"Are you sick? What kind of bad taste are you doing?"
After that, he looked at Ye Sili again, as if he had been betrayed, and said complainingly:
"Sili, you caught this snake, right? Did you betray me?"
Ye Sili shrugged and said innocently:
"I just accidentally mentioned to Xiao Ling that you were afraid of snakes, and I didn't want to catch them. However, you maintained your image as a handsome young man so well. Xiao Ling didn't believe it, so I could only prove it to her.
"
After saying that, Ye Sili blinked twice innocently.
"How can there be women as weird as you two!" As soon as Mu Jiufeng finished speaking, he saw Xiao Lingyu throwing the snake in his hand. He was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Gu Liyou and grabbed Gu Liyou tightly with both hands.
Liyou only stuck out half of his head, stared at Xiao Ling, and said unfairly:
"Xiao Ling! You are a princess of a country after all, can you look a little bit gentle? Look at you now, how can you not look like a princess at all!"
When Xiao Ling heard what Mu Jiufeng said, she didn't care at all. Instead, she thought seriously for a while, and then asked in confusion: "Did you just meet me today? This princess has always been kind-hearted. Didn't you always do it before?"
You say it’s not good for me to put on airs, but why do you dislike me for coming here these two years?”
After saying that, Xiao Ling turned her head to look at Ye Sili next to her, handed the King Jin Snake in her hand, and asked seriously: "Sili, isn't it good for me to look like this?"
Sili quickly shook her head and denied, "No, Ayou always said that people should live their whole lives to be at ease. To be happy in life, you must have all the fun. Why do you care about so many worldly etiquettes?"
Xiao Ling felt that Si Li was right, so she turned her head and looked at Mu Jiufeng.
Mu Jiufeng felt a headache and looked at Gu Liyou resentfully. Gu Liyou didn't seem to notice the look in his eyes. He only looked up at Ye Sili when she was speaking, and then fiddled with the things in his hands.
Mu Jiufeng really had nothing to do with these two people, so he patted Gu Liyou and complained:
"Gu Liyou, what kind of messy thoughts have you instilled in Sili all day long? She used to be a very cute person, but since she met you, she has done everything from fighting, climbing trees, climbing over walls, catching chickens...
You did it, and now you’re catching snakes with your bare hands just to mess with me! When did you teach her this?!”
"When you don't know." Gu Liyou replied calmly.
"..."
Si Li looked at Mu Jiufeng and explained seriously:
"Jiu Feng, I didn't fight."
After that, he got up and walked to the river to wash his hands.
Mu Jiufeng said angrily: "Yes, you didn't fight, you were only responsible for causing trouble."
When was it not the mess he and Gu Liyou had to clean up?
The midday sun shone sparsely on Ye Sili through the surrounding trees. Sili took the handkerchief from Gu Liyou, wiped the water on her hands, peeled a banana, and took a bite.
"Ayou, how long does it take? I'm hungry."
"Right away." Gu Liyou picked up a pile of dry branches and placed them on the ground.
In the suburbs of October, accompanied by the attractive fragrance of osmanthus, you can listen to the jingling sound of the river not far away. The sun is not as hot as in summer. The warm sun is accompanied by the breeze, and the birdsong is accompanied by the fragrance of flowers. How pleasant it is!
After the four of them finished eating and drinking in a leisurely manner, Xiao Ling and Si Li took Mu Jiufeng and Gu Liyou to see the cave they discovered in the morning. The cave was not small and very dark inside. Ye Si Li originally wanted to go in.
Look, Xiao Ling grabbed him. As a result, the two people were still unwilling to give in. Since they were afraid, they pulled the two brothers together.
The four of them walked through the sweet-scented osmanthus forest and saw the rolling mountains. Not far away was the cave that Xiao Ling and the others were talking about. The cave was still a bit secretive. The entrance was covered by some thorns and weeds. However, now they could clearly see it.
The thorns and weeds next to the stone wall were pulled apart, and some were trampled directly to the ground, just enough for a person to get stuck in.
Gu Liyou glanced at Si Li, who smiled at him.
"You two can do it. You usually keep your fingers clean, but you always surprise me every time you go out." Mu Jiufeng looked at the thorns and weeds that had been pulled away, and he had to admire these two people.
Ye Sili carefully passed through the thorn vine without saying a word, and Gu Liyou followed closely. Xiao Ling patted Mu Jiufeng, pointed at a big stone, and motioned for him to look at it.
"What?" Mu Jiufeng didn't understand.
Xiao Ling felt that Mu Jiufeng was always a little stupid, and said with disgust: "When we were eating just now, didn't you ask me where I caught the King Jin Snake? Well, it was under the big rock.
."
Mu Jiufeng flashed and squeezed in between Gu Liyou and Si Li, far away from the stone.
Gu Liyou glanced at him with disgust, but Mu Jiufeng didn't care and asked, "Are you sure you want to go in?"
"Otherwise, why are we here?" Ye Sili nodded and said.
Xiao Ling looked at Mu Jiufeng with a smile, "Are you afraid?"
"How could I be afraid? I'm just worried that if there's any python or something here, it won't be good if I scare you." Mu Jiufeng patted his clothes and said.
Gu Liyou and Ye Sili walked in front. It was pitch dark inside. Gu Liyou took out the fire sticks he carried with him and lit them, telling Si Li to be careful where he steps.
There were water drops inside the cave, and the ground was naturally wet. Si Li and Xiao Ling originally went in with an adventurous heart, but after walking around for a long time under the guidance of Gu Liyou, they discovered that this was indeed a cave.
It was an ordinary cave, but because it was too humid inside, Gu Liyou didn't want Sili to stay for a long time, so he took them out.
Xiao Ling said in despair: "There is nothing here. I thought we had discovered some kind of training place for an expert from outside the world. I wanted to come and broaden my horizons."
Mu Jiufeng breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Let me just say, there must be nothing in here. Oops, I've been here for so long, let's go out first and then talk about it."
The four of them wandered around the area, playing around. Xiao Ling was a little thirsty. Gu Liyou looked at the sky and felt that it was time to go back, so he slowly walked back.
Xiao Ling held up the teapot in one hand and the teacup in the other, and drank several cups in a row.
"It's considered drinking water." Xiao Ling put down the cup with satisfaction.
Ye Sili looked around and asked doubtfully: "Where is our carriage?"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Liyou and Mu Jiufeng came over slowly, searched around, and found that the carriage... was indeed missing.
Mu Jiufeng raised his hand and placed his index finger slightly on his mouth. A loud whistle sounded, which spread so far in the empty suburbs. Mu Jiufeng looked in the direction he came from. There was no trace of the horse at all.
I blew twice more, but in the end, there was still no response.
Gu Liyou knelt down, pinched some mud on the ground with his fingers, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it carefully, his eyes flashed slightly, he stood up and clapped his hands.
Mu Jiufeng came over and said angrily: "Which ignorant boy dares to steal my master's horse? If I catch him, I will kill him!"
Xiao Ling was also a little at a loss and asked: "Could it be that the horse was not tied tightly and the horse ran away on its own?"
"Do you think that the young master who just whistled for a while was performing acrobatics?" Mu Jiufeng said naturally and unconvinced: "The horses of our Muye family have been professionally trained. Even if the horse rope is not tied, it will be impossible.
Run away by yourself."
This is indeed the case. Although the Marquis of Ning'an is not a general with a large army, he is the prince of a country after all. There are always some private soldiers under his command. Of course, this is an open secret in the court. Who is a little more capable?
If the minister doesn't keep some retainers and has some private soldiers under his command, then there will be no sense of security.
Of course, private soldiers are naturally the most taboo thing for those in power, but as long as you act responsibly and arrange the guys under you more securely, you have to have some numbers in terms of quantity and strength, right?
In this way, anyone who wants to cause trouble will naturally turn a blind eye.
The elders of the Ye family are the founding fathers and important ministers of the country. In such a family of military generals, not to mention the maids and servants in the house, even the flowers, plants, birds and fish are not allowed to be in the slightest, let alone a horse.
