C43 In the Wilderness Again
Qin Xin thought for a while and finally secretly sighed and said somewhat helplessly, "You did not make it clear beforehand. Who knows if you are curious or have ulterior motives like this?"
Du Qi wanted to know the details about Qin Xin so that he could arrange the trip to avoid danger. However, seeing that Qin Xin seemed to be unwilling to cooperate with him, he was too lazy to ask and did not respond.
Seeing Du Qi's gloomy expression, Qin Xin's heart trembled for some reason. She said, "My master has never been in contact with the outside world. My relationship with her is also very secretive. There should not be any outsiders who know about her."
Du Qi thought about it and said, "Since those people were waiting to catch you before you went to Xiangyang, it means that they knew you would go to Xiangyang. It could be seen that your relationship with your master is no longer a secret. It is for the sake of safety. Right now, we have to be careful. If we don't have a choice, we can't enter the town. We can't go to the branch of the clan to seek help, nor can we go to your master's place. "
Qin Xin said with a smile, "Is it that we can only advance and retreat together with you in this mountain? We will never be separated?"
Du Qi said with melancholy, "How would I dare!? I am just thinking about your situation and speaking based on facts."
Seeing Du Qi's indifferent expression and lazy tone, she had already lost the joy and joy she had when she first met him. Qin Xin suddenly felt that her heart was at ease and said angrily, "Du Qi, did I provoke you that much?"
Du Qi suddenly laughed and said, "Does Xin make people hate her? Why did I not notice?"
Qin Xin said angrily, "I hate your glib tongue the most! You are incoherent and self-righteous! Since you don't hate me, why do you always want to be separated? " Not allowing Du Qi to reply, Qin Xin immediately asked again, "Don't tell me what you said doesn't count?" At the same time, she moved her feet as fast and steady as flying, walking on the steep mountain path. No one believed that she would almost fall off the cliff twice in a row. It was all because Du Qi risked his life to save her that she was able to survive.
Du Qi said, "I have said a lot of things. I wonder which sentence you are referring to?"
Qin Xin did not take Du Qi's attitude as the meaning. She smiled and said, "Didn't you swear that day, Xin, don't be afraid. With me, no matter what happens, don't be afraid. I will think of a way to ensure your safety and then send you to the place you want to go '? Do you regret it now? If you are, then just say it clearly. I know how much trouble my family is in. Anyone will stay away from me. It is reasonable for you to leave me now. I won't mind. You don't have to think of any reasons or excuses."
Du Qi said lightly, "The Camel Horse Gang has always had a beginning and an end. I, Du Qi, promise that I will never break my promise. For the sake of my help and my personal reputation, I will do whatever I can to send you to the place you want to go. So you can rest assured. "
After a moment of silence, Qin Xin suddenly said softly, "Du Qi, I'm sorry!"
Du Qi was surprised and said," You did not do anything wrong. Why did you say you are sorry? "
Qin Xin suddenly stopped and turned around, looking at Du Qi who followed her and stopped. Qin Xin's nose slightly moved, under her long eyelashes, there were two clear springs. She seemed to want to immediately open her eyes and quietly circulate. She said with a bitter tone, "Du Qi, the matter has come to this point. No matter how you look at me, no matter what I think. Please accept my sincere apology, alright? "
Recalling the two times Qin Xin knocked down the cliff, Du Qi secretly swore in his heart: No matter what, he had to strengthen his vigilance and keep a distance from Qin Xin. He had to think of a way to send her to the place as soon as possible and no longer had any connection with her. Although he was very concerned about Qin Xin's beauty, he was more concerned about his own life.
But at this moment, looking at Qin Xin's tearful appearance and her apologetic and self-blame expression, Du Qi's heart could not help but feel a twinge of pain. After that, his heart softened, and the oath that he had just made was thrown to the back of his mind. The embankment that had just been built collapsed for a moment, and the idea that he had just made vanished in an instant. All the doubts and doubts were melted away by the ice and snow, and all the grievances and worries were gone. His broad heart and endless feelings were all restored to their original state.
Looking at Qin Xin's moving eyes, Du Qi once again felt her gentleness and guilt. He could not help but feel a wave of confusion and agitation. He went forward and put his arm around Qin Xin's small waist. He held her and continued to walk forward. At the same time, he comforted her, "Xin, it's all my fault. I made you angry. The sky is almost dark. Let's go."
Qin Xin gently stayed in Du Qi's arms. Without any hesitation, she lowered her head and wiped the tears that had been nurtured on Du Qi's shoulders for a long time without falling. She did not resist leaning on Du Qi's shoulder and allowing him to hug her and walk forward. "What should we do now?" she asked casually.
Du Qi said, "We have to take things one step at a time. It is best to find a place to settle down first before we act according to the situation. Ha, look!"
The sky was already dark. Fortunately, the two of them had finally walked out of the steep mountain path. Qin Xin looked in the direction Du Qi pointed and saw a small cottage on a small hill to the left in front of her. She could not help but be overjoyed and quickly ran forward with Du Qi to take a look. But she could not help but feel disappointed.
It turned out that this small thatched cottage was only a thatched hut. It might be the temporary shelter of the hunters in the mountain. There was only one thatched hut. The wind on the four walls had long since dried up. Du Qi went forward and briefly examined it. He saw that the frame of the hut was still considered strong, and the roof was still intact. There was a layer of straw on the floor of the hut. Besides that, although there was nothing else, it could protect him from the wind and rain. It was many times better than sleeping in the wild. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and decided to stay here for the night.
The two of them ate the wild fruits that Du Qi picked and chatted for a while. Qin Xin did not need Du Qi's instructions and she called out to him to lie on the side of the bed without hesitation. It was obvious that she left the other half of the bed to Du Qi.
Du Qi did not dare to lie down with Qin Xin and sleep together again. Seeing that Qin Xin had slept well, he found a protruding stone block outside the house and leisurely sat on it with his legs crossed. He looked at the distant night sky in front of him and seemed to have sunk into deep thought.
Qin Xin had just laid on the bed when she found that the smell of the straw was extremely unpleasant. It made people nauseous and the mosquitoes that disturbed people were endless. In addition, Du Qi was not in the house, so she did not know if he was still outside. Would he leave her behind and go alone? Qin Xin couldn't help but wonder where she could sleep, so she could only climb up and crawl out of the thatched hut. She saw Du Qi sitting on a tall rock in the distance, and he actually seemed to be floating under the cover of the night. She couldn't help but be infatuated with him. She stood in front of the thatched hut for a long time without moving in the slightest.
Although Du Qi's back was facing the thatched cottage, he seemed to be able to see the scene here. He suddenly sighed in his heart and called out, "Since you can't sleep, why don't you come over and have a seat?"
Qin Xin suddenly woke up when she heard this and suddenly felt that her face was hot. After hesitating for a moment, she walked to Du Qi's side and found a slightly flat stone surface. She imitated Du Qi and sat down.
