Chapter 40 (Critical)
There was Shen Mu's deep and hot breath in his ears, and his violent heartbeat on his shoulders. They were only separated by two thin undershirts, and they became a whole under the wrapping of double coats. This feeling...
it was so strange, it was almost outrageous.
Gu Chaochao suspected that she had made a wrong decision. Just as she was about to separate her coats again, another gust of cold wind blew through her bones. She immediately dismissed the idea.
"Master, sit next to me." Shen Mushen calmed down and whispered.
Gu Chaochao paused, and was about to refuse, when he heard him add: "This way, there will be no air leakage."
Gu Chaochao was speechless for a moment, and found that there was indeed some air leakage at the intersection, so he silently moved towards him. When her back rested on her chest, a huge sense of satisfaction rose in Shen Mushen's heart. He fastened his clothes even tighter to ensure that there would be no more air leaks, and then quietly put his arms around Gu Chaochao's shoulders from behind.
Gu Chaochao: "?"
"This is more comfortable." Shen Mushen answered seriously.
His expression was so straight that it was hard for Gu Chaochao to think about it, but when he saw his flushed cheeks through the dim light, he couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Why is your face so red, isn't it a fever?
" After finishing, he reached out and touched his forehead, Shen Mushen's body was a little stiff.
"It doesn't burn, why are you sweating?" Gu Chaochao muttered.
Shen Mushen coughed: "Young man, the firepower is relatively strong." As soon as Gu Chaochao looked up, he saw Shen Mushen staring at her, and couldn't help but wonder about his mood at the moment: "I feel distressed?" "How is it possible, this There is only one woman in the world that will make me feel bad, and that is Master," Shen Mu said sweetly and looked at Zheng Qingqing again, "I just want to see what happens to the person who ruined my life in the first place." Gu Chaochao heard the words and was silent , holding his hand in his shirt. Shen Mu was stunned for a moment, and the cold hatred in his heart was gradually covered by warmth.
Gu Chaochao thought about it too, so he didn't delve further. The two masters and apprentices were close to each other, temporarily resisting the cold air, while the others were not so lucky. They were still shivering from the cold when they gathered together. In the end, they could only learn their way and take off their coats and put them together. , and then cling to each other for warmth.
Wu Wen was in a dilemma between Zheng Qingqing and Wu Cai, Wu Cai scolded: "Useless things, do you want to leave me?!"
Wu Wen gritted his teeth and could only squeeze together with Wu Cai. Zheng Qingqing quietly curled up in a ball, alone, looking a little pitiful.
After a long while, he whispered, "Master, I like you the most."
Gu Chaochao laughed, only acting like a child.
The night gradually deepened, and the cold finally did not intensify, but maintained a relatively stable state, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. And Zheng Qingqing, who had been alone, finally found a female cultivator to warm each other up, and everyone was at peace at the moment.
And after peace, there is sleepiness.
Although the cold wind is still raging, and there are countless unknown dangers deep in the jungle, at this moment, everyone could not resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.
In the silence, Gu Chaochao, who was wrapped in clothes, secretly took a mouthful of steamed buns from the Qiankun bag, and stuffed it into Shen Mushen's mouth when everyone was unprepared.
Shen Mushen: "..."
Gu Chaochao pressed his index finger on his lips, signaling him not to make a sound.
Shen Mushen held back his smile and accepted her feeding seriously. Shen Mushen's eyes instantly turned cold, and after giving her a warning look, he lowered his eyes. In the darkness, Zheng Qingqing, who accidentally got a look at him, gave birth to a secret excitement. The long and tormented night passed quickly. After seeing the hardships of the dark night in the dense forest, everyone rushed much faster, and they stopped after walking for a long time. According to the rules, the rest of the people rested in place, and the first group of people selected earlier went to the jungle to pick fruit. The group has their own division of labor, and it can be considered orderly for a while. In the next few days, the journey was relatively smooth, except that two people who went to pick fruit on the first day were poisoned to death, three were killed in a martial arts fight on the second day, and one was taken away by a fierce beast on the third day. casualties. On the fourth day, everyone had not yet left the jungle, and finally it was Gu Chaochao's group's turn to collect wild fruits. Different from other groups that automatically form a group, when Gu Chaochao and Wu Cai and others walked into the jungle together, the atmosphere could be described as a mess.
After feeding him three big steamed buns in a row, Gu Chaochao hid under his clothes and ate a steamed bun in his arms. After the Qiankun bag lost its function, the steamed buns could not be kept as hot as before. Gu Chaochao, who had been hungry for a day, still found it delicious. He quickly settled the whole thing, and then he slept contentedly on Shen Mu's deep chest.
Shen Mu lowered her eyes, she could see her slender eyelashes from the top angle, and they trembled when the wind blew, and she looked cute and soft. In the dark night, he quietly raised the corners of his lips, and his heart was as gentle as the ocean. When he was looking seriously, he suddenly noticed a line of sight. He raised his head slightly and met Zheng Qingqing's eyes.
Wu Wen is like a wild dog with a facial nerve disorder. He wants to bark at every turn, but when he thinks of Shen Mushen's swordsmanship, he can't help it. After several repetitions, his back skin starts to twitch. Gu Chaochao is really afraid that he will have facial paralysis again. . Zheng Qingqing next to him has been ill for the past few days, and his face is getting worse and worse.
As for Shen Mushen, he was also vigilant against the Qingfeng Sect and kept Gu Chaochao by his side at all times. Since entering the jungle, his and Gu Chaochao's identities seem to have changed. The little apprentice who needed to be protected in the past is now the big wild wolf that everyone fears.
Gu Chaochao, then enjoy the apprentice's 'filial piety' with peace of mind. "Wait a minute," Wu Cai stopped her, "the forest over there is deeper, I'll wait." After giving Wu Wen a wink, Wu Wen and Zheng Qingqing immediately followed. "Father, you said that the trees here are deeper, why do you want to go this way?" Wu Wen was puzzled. Wu Cai glanced at him: "Gu Chaochao is the most cunning and knows this secret realm. The location she chose must be the safest." With a sway, he fell directly to the ground. Wu Wen was startled when he saw this, and quickly helped her up: "What's wrong?" "I... feel uncomfortable." Zheng Qingqing's face was bloodless, and it was extremely difficult to speak. Just as Wu Wenzheng was about to continue to care, he heard Wu Cai said impatiently: "I didn't let you follow me just now. Who do you blame for coming here? Go back before you go far." Zheng Qingqing pursed his lips, timidly agreed. Wu Wen wanted to accompany her back, but after meeting Wu Cai's gaze, he immediately put out his thoughts and told her to be careful when she went back alone. Zheng Qing gave him a pitiful look, turned and left without saying anything. "Father, didn't you like Junior Sister Qing very much? Why have you treated her so badly recently?" Wu Wencai asked suspiciously after she left.
In the midst of a stalemate, Wu Cai took the initiative to speak: "Sect Master Gu, no matter what the grievances were in the past, we are now grasshoppers on a rope, and we hope to work together to pick wild fruits and go back as soon as possible.
" I think it's more convenient to act separately," Gu Chaochao turned around and left with Shen Mushen.
Wu Cai sneered: "I didn't know that before, she has such a vicious mind."
After that, he looked at Wu Wen again, "You should be on guard against her, don't trust her too much, otherwise your little junior brother will end up like Your end."
"...Didn't you kill my little junior brother? What does it have to do with Qing junior sister?" Wu Wen whispered, but fortunately, Wu Cai, who is over seventy years old, was dizzy at the moment and didn't hear it for a while. What did he say, otherwise there would be a scolding.
On the other side, Gu Chaochao and Shen Mu walked slowly. After walking for a while, Shen Mu Shen gathered up his courage and reached out his hand: "Master, hold me."
After speaking, as if afraid of Gu Chaochao's rejection, he added, "There are too many rubble on the ground, if you fall, you will definitely break your skin."
"Explain what to do with so much." Gu Chaochao glanced at him and took him directly. up his hand.
A soft touch came from her fingertips, Shen Mu gave a deep cough, and then she held back her laughter, clenched her hand tightly and walked forward slowly.
"Master." He called to her.
Gu Chaochao: "Well."
"Master." He called again.
Gu Chaochao: "Yes."
"Master!" Shen Mu raised his lips.
Gu Chaochao: "...If you give me nonsense again, I will feed you to the beast."
Shen Mu smiled deeply, revealing a row of neat teeth. Gu Chaochao was amused, and he stretched out his hand to give him a beating: "What about when autumn tour?" While
speaking, he came to a small secluded place, Shen Mushen looked around, and immediately said: "Master, You sit down and rest, and I'll go pick the fruit."
"Well, let's go." Gu Chaochao's balance was not good, and he would fall at every turn in this kind of woodland. Hearing that, he didn't show any kindness to him, so he just found a stone and sat down.
Shen Mushen went to the depths of the dense forest alone, Gu Chaochao picked up a leaf at will, and tore it into strips one by one.
"Is this picked?" she asked without looking up.
No one answered.
She paused and raised her head, just a flash of silver light flashed, she subconsciously blocked it with her arm, and then a sharp pain came.
Gu Chaochao was in so much pain that a layer of cold sweat broke out from his back, and he kicked up with a sharp breath. The person who was kicked fell directly to the ground, still holding the dagger in his hand.
Gu Chaochao clutched his bleeding arm, gritted his teeth and looked at Zheng Qingqing who was mad: "What do you want to do?"
"If I kill you, he will hate me forever." Zheng Qingqing smiled softly.
Gu Chaochao: "..." Perverted.
"Sect Master Gu, don't worry, it doesn't hurt for me to kill someone." After she finished speaking, she stabbed Gu Chaochao again.
Gu Chaochao gritted her teeth and turned her head away, but unfortunately she is not good at walking in the woods, she would fall once after a few steps. Although Zheng Qingqing was still ill, she quickly caught up.
When she fell down again, Zheng Qingqing appeared in front of her with a dagger in front of her. Gu Chaochao was desperate for a while, but he still didn't give up and shouted: "Even if you kill me, it's useless, he didn't take you seriously at all, he will kill you at most. Revenge, but after revenge is done, it is impossible to remember you for the rest of your life as you wish."
"Impossible, he likes you so much, he will definitely hate me for the rest of his life." Zheng Qingqing's expression was a little distorted.
Gu Chaochao gritted his teeth: "He won't."
"He will!"
"He won't."
"He will!"
Gu Chaochao: "..." Although the situation was critical at the moment, she still felt that she was arguing with Zheng Qingqing like a mental retardation.
