Chapter 1625 Why are you blushing?
Late at night, everything is quiet.
Only the sound of the wind could be heard from time to time in this vast wasteland, sweeping up gusts of snow and mist, making this already sparsely populated wasteland even more mysterious.
There is a tiny spark in the wilderness.
It can only illuminate a small area, but it keeps burning, adding a bit of warmth to this quiet and cold night.
Gu Yiyou opened his eyes in this warmth.
After running all day, he was exhausted. He and Tong Sinian surveyed the area for a long time, but they could not run anymore as soon as the sun went down. Although the wilderness was covered with ice and snow as soon as it snowed, the temperature would drop sharply as soon as the sun went down.
At this time, the best choice is to guard a bonfire.
They did indeed light a bonfire. Those who needed to sleep and rest slept, while those who needed to keep watch kept watch. When he opened his eyes, he saw two soldiers still sitting on the other side of the fire.
But there is nothing around me.
Where is Tong Sinian?
Gu Yiyou shuddered and hurriedly sat up from the woolen blanket on the ground. The two soldiers immediately said, "Master Gu."
Gu Yiyou asked, "Where's Tong Sinian?"
"Mr. Tong? He just got up and went over there."
As they spoke, the two men pointed in one direction.
It was seen during the day, in the direction of the canyon.
However, on such a dark night, the bonfire in front of me can only illuminate a small area around it. If it is farther away, nothing can be seen clearly.
But Gu Yiyou still stood up, put on the black fox fur cloak he wore during the day, and walked in the direction the two soldiers pointed.
In his hand, he held a torch.
Fortunately, it didn't snow at night. The flickering firelight illuminated the footprints in front of him. He walked forward carefully along the footprints.
This walk took us nearly a mile.
Looking back, I could no longer see where they had set up camp.
He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should continue walking forward to look for Tong Sinian. He was worried that he might have wandered out in the middle of the night and gotten lost. But if he continued like this, he would never be able to find his way back.
Besides, it’s the middle of the night now.
Wolves love to come out to hunt for food at this time.
The most important thing is that there is a very strange sound coming from the wind, like the howling of a wild beast.
Moreover, they occur one after another and vary in distance.
But what kind of wild beast could roar so loudly in such a wilderness?
Thinking of this, he stopped and walked back, muttering to himself: Si Nian, if you die in the wolf's belly, I will definitely find the best temple and some of the best monks to chant sutras for you.
Having said that, he turned around and went back.
But he was so busy thinking that he didn't notice that there was a slope under his feet. His foot slipped and he fell down.
"ah--!"
He let out a scream and fell into a snow pit.
I thought I was going to fall badly, but when I fell in, I found that the ground below was not only soft but also a little warm. I just heard a muffled sound from the snow nest: "Ugh!"
"well?"
Gu Yiyou opened his eyes wide and looked down, and unexpectedly, a face appeared from the snow.
"Si Nian?!"
Tong Sinian, whom he had been unable to find, was actually lying on the snow. He was wearing a white fox fur coat, which blended in with the snow, so he could not be distinguished at all.
Gu Yiyou was dumbfounded: "You, what are you doing here?"
“…”
Tong Sinian looked at him expressionlessly: "Shouldn't you get up first before talking?"
"Ah? Ah!"
Only then did Gu Yiyou realize that his entire body was pressing on him.
He hurriedly stood up from Tong Sinian in a panic. Tong Sinian also stood up, only to see that there was a deep snow pit under him. He didn't know how long he had been crawling there.
Gu Yiyou patted the snow foam off his body.
He asked, "Why are you here so late at night instead of sleeping?"
Seeing him frantically busy, Gu Yiyou reached out and brushed off the snow foam from his hair, then said, "What about you? What are you doing here?"
"I haven't seen you in the middle of the night, so I came out to look for you."
"you--"
Tong Sinian frowned and said, "Why, you can't even sleep without me."
“…”
Gu Yiyou was so angry at his words that he rolled his eyes and waved the torch in his hand: "Stop talking nonsense and talk to you seriously. What are you doing here? I thought you were feeding the wolves."
Tong Sinian smiled.
He also reached out to pat the snow foam off his body, but he was wearing a white fox fur cloak, so the snow foam was not obvious. It was Gu Yiyou who held up a torch and shone it on him, helping him to brush off a lot of it.
Tong Sinian said, "I came over to listen to the wolf's howl."
"Wolf howling?"
"That's right."
"Where's the wolf howling?"
"Come here and listen carefully."
As he spoke, Tong Sinian pulled him to lie on the snow. Both of them held their breath and looked at the pitch-black area ahead.
There was only the sound of the wind whistling past.
Gu Yiyou frowned: "Where does the wolf howl come from?"
"Just listen carefully."
“…”
It was quiet for a while.
Still nothing.
Gu Yiyou was a little impatient and said, "Where's the wolf howling? Are you just trying to coax me?"
Just as he finished speaking, suddenly, a "woooo" sound was heard from the dark night sky in the distance.
Gu Yiyou's eyes suddenly widened.
This does sound a bit like a wolf howling, but the sound is coming from a very far distance, and the sound of a wolf howling cannot possibly travel that far.
So this is—
A smile appeared on Gu Yiyou's face, and he murmured, "Interesting."
After saying this, he held his breath again and continued to listen carefully to the sounds coming from the darkness ahead. Although they all sounded similar, if he listened carefully, he could still hear the differences in the distance, pitch and depth of the sounds.
He smiled and patted Tong Sinian's shoulder vigorously: "You are really amazing!"
Tong Sinian groaned when he slapped him.
Although the two people didn't say anything, after years of interacting with each other, many things have become tacit understandings.
The two men lay on the snow. Although it was freezing cold and their hands and feet were almost stiff, they seemed particularly comfortable at this moment.
Gu Yiyou said: "Si Nian."
"Um?"
"You said that we are like this now, the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine——"
"shut up!"
Before he could finish his words, Tong Sinian interrupted him. In the darkness, one could see that his dark face seemed to be a little red. He said, "Don't say anything indecent. You don't know, at this time - what else can the emperor and the imperial concubine do!"
Gu Yiyou said unhappily, "I mean, the two of us have worked so hard, can the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine understand? Look at you, what are you thinking about?"
“…”
"Why are you blushing?"
