Chapter 136 Hope is shattered
On the jagged and strange rocks in the stream, a few fish jumped up and down and hit the stones, making "bang" and "pop" sounds.

Fu Xuan and Xie Zhan squatted down together, head to head, staring wide-eyed.

After a long while, Fu Xuan finally broke the silence: "You mean, you didn't bring a fire book?"

Xie Zhan nodded.

Fu Xuan tentatively asked: "Then, make a fire by yourself?"

Xie Zhan touched the tip of his nose, "There is no fire sickle or flint."

Fuxuan said again: "To make fire with flint wood?"

Xie Zhan straightened up and said slowly: "There is no flint wood here. What about next to it, willow trees are used in spring, jujube and apricot trees in summer, and oak trees in autumn. I just checked around and there is no oak wood."

Fu Xuan was still squatting on the ground, looking at Xie Zhan's big white feet, full of resentment.

Co-authoring, giving her full hopes, are all empty?
When he shot fish one by one out of the pool, she was so excited that her heart jumped up to her throat, and she happily took them one by one from his hand. Mustering up her courage, she held down the dying fish with both hands, and then struggled to catch them. They moved to the rocks on the shore.

Now, he told her, there was no fire!
Really, the feeling of having hope and then being shattered is extremely bad.

The round and white toes were all within easy reach, and the resentment in her heart was uncontrollable. A flash of inspiration flashed in Fu Xuan's mind, she raised the cane she had been playing with in her hand, "swiped", and swipe it up on Xie Zhan's toes.

"Ah—" There was a dull cry of pain.

Fu Xuan did something bad, turned around and ran away.

She ran behind a tree, hugged the tree trunk, saw Xie Zhan holding his feet with his hands, jumping on the spot, his expression twitched, completely lost his usual coldness, his face looked like an ordinary person, she grinned and held her belly, bent over laugh.

He looks like a human being.

Hearing her hearty laughter of "hahaha", Xie Zhan hugged his feet and said angrily to her, "Don't let me catch you!"

"Hmph! Who told you to keep your word!" Fu Xuan laughed back and replied.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Zhan immediately put down his foot, bent down and grabbed something, and threw it violently in her direction.

Fu Xuan widened her eyes.

The next moment, a muffled "ah" sounded behind her.

Sensing that the rear was in danger, Fu Xuan only felt creepy, her neck was so stiff that she didn't dare to turn, and she didn't dare to glance at it out of the corner of her eye.

In an instant, Xie Zhan grabbed the long sword and rushed to her side, grabbed her arm, and pulled her behind him.

The long sword was unsheathed, and Xie Zhan held her wrist firmly with one hand.

Fu Xuan was now in a panic, and raised her eyes to look at the big tree just now.

Among the forest trees, several black shadows flashed out, their long knives were cold, and rushed towards them one by one without allowing anyone to react.

"Hold well."

With a deep and cold sound, Xie Zhan turned sideways, immediately hugged Fuxuan in his arms to protect him, and fought fiercely with the sword in his other hand.

Fu Xuan was led by him to spin around suddenly, advance and retreat suddenly, erratic.

Quietly and obediently, she hugged his waist tightly, like a piece of clothes growing on his body, not moving, not talking, not causing trouble for him.

Several black shadows fought with Xie Zhan. Although the opponent was vicious with swords and knives, they were still unable to attack Xie Zhan.

Xie Zhan's skill and face are both calm and unhurried, but the speed of the long sword is particularly fast. The sword's light and sword are shining in the sun, and because of the collision of the swords, there is a piercing sound echoing in the mountains.

Not long after, with the smell of blood wafting out from the face, fewer and fewer black figures were still fighting.

Under Xie Zhan's calm aura and formidable skill, the last two shadows did not dare to force themselves any longer.The two looked at each other, retracted their knives together, and retreated into the depths of the forest.

After the fight was over, Fu Xuan raised her head and withdrew from Xie Zhan's arms.

Before she could speak, Xie Zhan held a long sword in his hand, bowed forward, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.

"Are you injured?" Fu Xuan asked, checking Xie Zhan's body, only to find a long bloody wound on the back of his shirt.

After the inspection, Fuxuan looked at Xie Zhan and said, "Why is it on your back? You said you have been hurt here several times."

The tone was rather accusatory.

Xie Zhan frowned, and looked at Fu Xuan coldly.

Can he still choose?

Knowing that she made a slip of the tongue, Fu Xuan smirked, "I mean it's good to hurt this place, at least it's not life-threatening. You sit down first, and I'll find herbs for you."

**
A while later, Fuxuan found herbs and tore long strips from the inner skirt of her skirt. Drawing on the experience of Geyang County, she wrapped up Xie Zhan's wound.

Xie Zhan lost blood, and had to wait for the blood on the wound to congeal, so he couldn't move anymore, so he sat on the ground weakly leaning against a tree, watched as Fu Xuan went to soak the handkerchief in water, and when he returned, he squatted at his feet beside.

Fuxuan has never taken care of anyone before, so she is inevitably at a loss.

Seeing that she was looking at his feet for a while and still looked helpless, Xie Zhan said: "Don't move, I will come by myself later."

Fuxuan clenched her fingers tightly and said courageously: "I can learn it. Animals can't be touched, but people can."

"Why can't animals?" Xie Zhan asked.

In Fuxuan's narration, Xie Zhan finally realized the special side of his girl.

Fuxuan was born unable to touch animal hair, as long as she touched it, she would sneeze constantly.She also had some small animals in the past, but the care and feeding were all done by people.If they were injured, my uncle would bandage them up, and the maidservant would do everything else.

People, the more they can't do something, the stronger their desire to do it.Since she was a child, she has secretly hugged kittens and puppies, but without exception, in the end she made herself ask for trouble and suffered endlessly.

This obsession did not fade away until he got the horse.

In the end, Fu Xuan regretted: "The only thing I can bear is probably the horse. But last year the white rabbit died of illness, and this year the jade rabbit gifted by Brother Duanwang is gone."

Xie Zhan replied: "Maybe it's because the name can't be taken as 'rabbit'."

He was so upright, as soon as he heard that tone, Fu Xuan almost believed his words.

She raised her eyes in a daze, and it was Xie Zhan who looked at her with a half-smile.

What else does she not understand?
Fu Xuan snorted coquettishly, "The next horse is still called 'rabbit'!"

The two argued again, and then Fu Xuan carefully cleaned Xie Zhan's dirty bare feet.

Every time she wiped it, she made a soft "hiss" sound, as if the foot was her own.

Seeing this, Xie Zhan laughed hoarsely, and said in relief: "Don't worry, it doesn't hurt."

Fu Xuan raised her eyes, and her eyes met.

She saw what he meant to comfort her.

Just now he could still vividly remember the way he was bouncing around with his feet in his arms, but now his feet are covered with scars, how could it not hurt.

Fu Xuan lowered her eyes, saw the red marks she had made on his feet, and also saw the wooden thorns pierced in. She relaxed her strength and tried to pull out the small thorns for him.

In this way, she had to grab his ankle with one hand, and the fingertips of the other hand would inevitably touch Xie Zhan's feet, touching and separating from time to time.

Warm, soft, and itchy.

The numbness came through the soles and insteps of the feet. Xie Zhan stared at the girl's bright and serious face, and smiled contentedly.

Fu Xuan was focused on cleaning the patient's wound, but did not see the tenderness in Xie Zhanqing's cold eyes.

Without raising her head, she asked, "Who are they? Why did they come to assassinate us in broad daylight?"

"Looking at his skills, he should be a dead man from a family."

 Thank you for all the tickets!
