Practical teaching: Starting from the soul traveling through Dragon Garden

Chapter 315 Barbatos' Assist

When I opened my eyes again, I saw a sour face.

"why you?"

Ryuuen felt the pain in his arms and noticed that he was lying on a bed made of weeds and wolf skins.

"We took turns standing guard, and you just happened to wake up when it was my turn."

Ling Xiaolu replied to Ryuen expressionlessly.

"That's really hard on you."

Ryuuen tried to stand up. He only had an injury on his arm, and there was nothing wrong with his legs.

With the help of Ayanokouji, Ryuuen was able to stand up and stretch his muscles.

Ryuuen looked at the gauze wrapped around his arm, which was tied with a bow. Ayanokouji had the same bandage on his arm before, so Ryuuen immediately guessed that it was Sakayanagi who bandaged his wound.

"Where's Horikita?"

Ryuuen no longer remembers what happened after he fainted. Although the wolves had retreated by then, he was still a little worried about Horikita's condition. She shouldn't be injured, right?

"She's not very well."

Ayanokouji seemed to be hesitant to speak, and judging from his movements, one could tell that he was probably threatened by Horikita.

"That's good."

Ryuuen breathed a sigh of relief. Horikita still had the mind to threaten Ayanokouji, which at least showed that there was no major mental problem with her. But she was definitely a little emotional. Before he fainted, the look in Horikita's eyes was filled with sadness and guilt. Horikita must be feeling very guilty now.

Ayanokouji naturally didn't understand why Ryuen said that, but he didn't plan to ask more questions. Horikita's instructions to him were not to talk too much, especially not to talk too much about Horikita himself.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

"Two days."

"Less than I thought. OK. Where are the others?"

"Nanyun and Kiriyama are building a house, Ichinose is picking fruit, Horikita should be catching fish, and Sakayanagi is boiling water."

Ayanokouji was scorned by Ryuen after he finished speaking: "You are the one who has it the easiest. Everyone else is so busy, and you are just standing here watching me sleep?"

"We'll take turns. I'll only be in charge of the morning, and it'll be Nanyun's turn in the afternoon."

"...Luckily I woke up early. I would feel uncomfortable thinking about you watching me sleep."

"Girls will stare at you sleeping. I'm not that boring."

Ayanokouji also complained that his true feeling was that it would be better to go out and work than to stay here.

Although Ayanokouji is an energy-conservationist, he doesn't want to stay next to Ryuen at all. He has discovered that Ryuen is a very strange person. Ayanokouji can neither understand nor agree with him. Staying next to Ryuen will make his calm heart become irritable.

This is not Ayanokouji's problem. Ryuuen is too contagious. Anyone who is around him will be influenced by him to some extent, which can be for good or bad.

Long Yuan didn't plan to stay here to recuperate. Although he should rest after being injured, Long Yuan was in no mood for that.

"Which direction is Horikita catching fish in?"

Ryuen asked Ayanokouji, and Ayanokouji pointed to the east. He did not stop Ryuen's plan because he also wanted to walk and move around, so he followed Ryuen.

After walking a few steps, Ryuuen turned around and said, "Ayanokouji, when did you become a follower?"

"I'm just protecting you in case anything happens to you."

"Do I need your protection?"

"You are injured now, objectively speaking, and need it."

"Then I will answer you subjectively. No, and I am going to spy on Horikita swimming. Do you want to go too?"

The corners of Ayanokouji's mouth twitched, and he stopped, watching Ryuen walk away step by step.

Long Yuan walked along the coastline, listening to the waves lapping against the shore, watching the seagulls flying and the fish leaping, and his mind was empty.

Ryuuen saw Horikita's clothes, found a random rock next to her clothes and sat down, staring at the intersection of the sea and the sky in a trance.

Suddenly, a head emerged from the sea, with wet black hair.

Horikita also saw Ryuen on the shore, and Ryuen waved the gauze on his hand and greeted her. Horikita swam directly to the shore with a flat fish in her hand.

Gradually, the body hidden by the sea water slowly emerged: shoulders, chest, waist, hips, legs, until Horikita's feet stepped on the sand, Ryuen finally saw Horikita's full appearance.

"I thought you were going to swim naked. What a waste of time."

Ryuuen's tone was flat, or rather weak, and he didn't have the energy to make an exaggerated expression.

"You came here just to watch me swim naked?"

Horikita threw the fish at Ryuen's feet and twisted her hair with her hands, trying to squeeze out more water.

"What if I tell you something?"

Although Ryuuen wanted to help, his hands really wouldn't allow it.

"Then you are really boring."

Horikita rolled her eyes at Ryuuen, but she didn't look angry at all. If it were in the past, she would have probably started to scold Ryuuen.

"I didn't expect you to go into the sea without a swimsuit and directly in your underwear. Now your underwear is wet, what are you going to do?"

Ryuen was less than one meter away from Horikita. If he looked more carefully, he could have glimpsed the spring scenery, but at this moment Ryuen was not paying attention. He looked into Horikita's eyes while speaking.

Although Horikita had been talking to Ryuen since she came ashore, she didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"I brought some fire and some firewood so I can dry my hair and underwear right after I catch the fish."

"You still need to take off your underwear, there's no point in going into the sea in underwear."

Horikita has nothing to say about this. She goes into the sea wearing underwear because she doesn't want to expose her body. But when drying the underwear, she does need to take it off. So there is really no point in going into the sea wearing underwear.

"My pleasure."

Horikita, contrary to her usual practice, did not reason with him, but spoke directly from his heart.

Ryuuen was actually quite happy to see this happen. Girls are cute when they are a little willful. Of course, they are not cute if they are too willful.

"Okay, you can turn around now. I'm going to start a fire to dry my underwear. Don't look back!"

Ryuuen turned around and heard the crackling of burning wood and the rustling sound of Horikita changing clothes, but he didn't feel much romantic in his heart.

"Aren't you afraid that I might peek?"

Ryuuen was chatting with Horikita with his back to her.

"You can look at it openly."

Horikita said and sat down next to Ryuuen.

It turned out that she had taken off her underwear but put on her school uniform.

But it is still empty, giving people endless imagination.

"Your eyes have turned obscene."

Horikita frowned and clamped her legs tightly around her skirt, fearing that she would be exposed.

Long Yuan smiled and shook his head: "What about the most basic trust between people?"

Horikita was silent.

Then, Ryuuen also fell silent.

Neither of them mentioned what happened that night, as if nothing had happened, but the reality was that neither of them knew how to start the conversation.

It would be better if this matter was just ignored, Ryuuen thought.

But Horikita didn't think so. She hesitated for a while in silence, and then, as if she had made some kind of decision, she stood up and kissed Ryuuen's forehead.

"I fulfilled my promise."

Long Yuan was a little confused. The sea breeze blew over, lifted the girl's skirt, and brought a salty taste.

Both of them widened their eyes at the same time.
