With a "bump", her back hit his solid muscles. Xuanyuan Hao didn't feel much, but Su Tong groaned in pain.
After catching her, Xuanyuan Hao tightened the reins and slowly slowed down.
"Are you okay?" He lowered his head and asked. With such a posture, he couldn't see her expression clearly.
But when he saw that she didn't respond, he couldn't help but worry.
"You get hit, try to see if it's okay!" Su Tong growled, held her waist, and with difficulty left his arms, deliberately pinched his chest, and muttered, "
You didn't install any steel plates on purpose for me to hit, did you?"
She suddenly felt that if she had just flown out and hit the soft ground, it might not have hurt so much!
With a sneer and seeing her yelling angrily, Xuanyuan Hao finally felt relieved and stopped the horse. Then he stepped off the horse gracefully and stretched out his hand towards her: "Come down."
"Aren't you going to chase that chasing wind?" Su Tong was stunned, seeing Xuanyuan Hao's tendency to sit down and camp, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"I think so." Xuanyuan Hao said leisurely, looked around a few times, and said something that made Su Tong almost fall off his horse, "But I also need to know where we are first.
!”
"You don't mean to say...we're lost, do you?" Su Tong's face fell instantly, unexpectedly encountering such a bloody plot! She looked at Xuanyuan Hao helplessly, making a death struggle, "
Isn’t it said that the royal hunting ground is surrounded by a fence?”
In this case, it shouldn’t be very big! How could it be possible to get lost?
"That's wrong. It's surrounded on three sides. The other side is a big forest, so there's no need to arrange people." Xuanyuan Hao smiled slightly, explained calmly, and continued to stretch out his hand towards her, "Come down."
Su Tong curled her lips and felt even more upset - she had chosen the one leading to the forest when it was difficult to walk in any direction just now! Moreover, had she run that far just now?
Looking at Xuanyuan Hao's big palm, Su Tong tilted her head angrily, jumped off the horse with courage, and patted the leaves on her clothes.
There was a sudden light on the sleeves, and when she was patting her clothes, the piccolo hidden in the sleeves accidentally fell out. The shiny flute rolled on the ground a few times, and landed steadily at Xuanyuan Hao's feet.
Xuanyuan Hao was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he squatted down pretending to be calm, picked up the flute, and teased her: "I didn't expect that the princess is really very leisurely. She even brought her with her when she went hunting.
Playing the flute given by this king..."
While speaking, he deliberately emphasized the words "This is a gift from me", which made Su Tong think of what he said that day about "seeing things and missing people".
How embarrassing...
"I'll take it with me if I want!" Su Tong glanced at him awkwardly, snatched the flute from his hand, and stuffed it into his sleeve to hide it.
Xuanyuan Hao didn't speak, but kept observing her movements with a faint smile. Su Tong's little face couldn't help but blush, her evasive eyes wandered around, and when she saw the horses beside her, she finally
He asked fiercely: "How can we go back now?"
There was no compass or GPS in this era, so there was nothing she could do!
"Alas..." Xuanyuan Hao sighed softly and pointed to the sky. Seeing that Su Tong still looked confused, he snorted feebly, "You can look at the sun to determine the direction. Let's go before the sun goes down."
Su Tong felt that the tone of voice sounded like he was calling her a fool...
After saying that, she naturally stretched out her hand towards Su Tong, and Su Tong stupidly stretched her hand up and let him grab it. It was not until the moment when her hands touched that the warm touch made Su Tong come back to her senses in an instant -
—
They actually... held hands?
Su Tong stared blankly at the hands held by the two of them, no matter how strange her thoughts were, Xuanyuan Hao didn't notice it yet and continued to push aside the branches and leaves in front of her and pull her forward.
"We..." Su Tong's eyes were fixed on those two hands, her face turned red for a moment, and a thin layer of sweat broke out in her palms.
Hell, even she didn't understand. What was she nervous about in this weird scene?
"What's wrong?" Sensing something unusual about her, Xuanyuan Hao stopped and turned around to ask.
"We...why don't we ride horses?" Su Tong was startled, looked around casually, and found a topic to talk about.
"This horse belongs to the guard next to me. Its physical strength is not as good as that of Zhui Feng, and its strength is only about the same as that of a young mare. It has been chasing for so long, and if it is not allowed to rest, I am afraid it will die of exhaustion first..."
After Xuanyuan Hao finished explaining, he pulled her forward and continued. Su Tong nodded doubtfully, turned around and glanced at the horse - it was a very loyal horse!
Even without holding it, it followed behind obediently. When it saw the leaves on the roadside, it would occasionally eat a few leaves to replenish its strength...
************************************************
The two of them walked in tandem, but Su Tong's eyes stayed on the hands they held.
"Ahem..." After a long time, Su Tong coughed a few times and felt the need to say something to break the suffocating silence between the two.
"Well, if I said that Zhui Feng was frightened because someone drugged him, would you believe it?" Su Tong carefully considered the words and asked carefully, expecting Xuanyuan Hao's reaction.
He has never trusted her. I wonder if he will believe her this time?
"Letter." Unexpectedly, as soon as Su Tong finished speaking, Xuanyuan Hao blurted out.
"Do you believe me?" Su Tong felt happy when she heard what he said.
After scoffing, Xuanyuan Hao just told the truth: "I told you yesterday that this hunting will not be that simple, and there will definitely be danger... This is unexpected, but it is reasonable."
