Chapter 428: Dragonfly skimming the water
Xiao Yeyang held the rice flowers in his arms, hid behind a huge rock, and listened carefully to the movements in the distance.
Daohua didn't dare to move. She looked at Defu and Wang Maner who were hiding in the bushes not far away with a vigilant look on their faces, and silently took out the slingshot and pills she carried with her.
"There are not many people in front, probably only four or five." Xiao Yeyang frowned and said in a low voice. At this moment, he regretted bringing Daohua out. If she met people from the Jiang family and Prince Duan, she would be in danger.
Daohua lowered her voice and asked, "What should we do now?"
Xiao Yeyang: "Wait! Wait for the secret guards to come with their men, capture them, and then we can pass."
Daohua nodded, waited for a while, and couldn't help asking, "Why are your people even slower than us?"
Xiao Yeyang: "Because they are all looking for gold mines everywhere, it will take some time for the secret guards to notify them."
Daohua was silent, and once again felt the inconvenience of communication in ancient times. If she had a mobile phone, she could be notified in minutes.
After a while, Daohua felt her legs a little numb and she couldn't help but move her body. Unexpectedly, as soon as she moved, her head was pressed in Xiao Yeyang's arms.
"Don't move." Xiao Yeyang lowered his head and said, "Someone is coming this way."
Hearing this, Daohua didn't dare to move. She leaned quietly in Xiao Yeyang's arms, letting him hold her tightly.
This was the first time the two of them were so close. Daohua could clearly feel Xiao Yeyang's strong chest and powerful arms.
Although they might encounter enemies at this moment, she inexplicably felt at ease and safe.
Daohua couldn't help but look up at Xiao Yeyang, her expression was dazed for a moment.
Before we knew it, the little boy who was once kidnapped by human traffickers has grown into a young man who can be relied upon.
"Plop~"
At this moment, the sound of someone falling into the water reached the ears of Xiao Yeyang and Daohua.
After a while, the two heard the sound of people emerging from the water again.
"Nagaze, I dived to the bottom of the riverbed, and there's nothing!"
Another voice sounded, coming from far away and getting closer: "Impossible, I've explored the terrain here, and the gold I picked up before must have rushed out from here. Let's look for it carefully."
Immediately afterwards, there were several more sounds of people falling into the water.
After the sound disappeared, Xiao Yeyang and Daohua looked at each other quickly.
One of them looked up and the other looked down. Because the distance was close, Xiao Yeyang's lips brushed directly against Daohua's forehead.
For a moment, both of them were stunned.
At this moment, time seemed to be paused. Both of them stared at each other in a daze, each other reflected in their pupils. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
It was not until the sound of leaves being trampled in the distance did Xiao Yeyang come to his senses. He quickly stuck his head out to take a look, and when he saw that it was his people coming, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. When he lowered his head again, Daohua had also come back to her senses.
Seeing that Daohua's cheeks and ears were all dyed red, and her eyes were wandering and she didn't dare to look at him, Xiao Yeyang's heart beat faster.
Thinking of the light touch just now, although I felt a little embarrassed, my heart was also filled with sweetness.
That feeling is more refreshing than drinking honey juice, and it is so memorable.
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua awkwardly, hesitating whether to say anything. At this time, his men started fighting with the previous few people.
There was no other way, so he could only say, "You hide here for now. I'll go out and take a look. Don't come out without me calling you. Got it?"
Seeing Daohua nod, Xiao Yeyang signaled Defu, who was not far away, to protect Daohua well, and then he quickly stood up and walked out.
As soon as Xiao Yeyang left, Daohua immediately breathed a sigh of relief, stuck her head out from behind the rock, and saw that Xiao Yeyang's people were in an absolute advantage. Her expression relaxed a little, and after retracting her gaze, she leaned against the boulder and quickly stretched out her hands to cover her cheeks.
Her hands were a little cold because they had been exposed to the cold air for a long time. When she touched her cheeks, she clearly felt how hot her cheeks were.
“Plop, plop~”
Feeling her heart pounding, Daohua quickly clapped her hands.
Wasn't it just an unexpected kiss?
It’s no big deal, just calm down.
"Don't worry about emergencies, don't worry about them."
Just as Daohua was muttering to herself, Wang Maner and Defu ran over with their bodies bent over.
"Girl, do you have a fever too?"
As soon as Wang Maner got closer, she saw that her girl's cheeks were red, and she immediately asked anxiously.
Daohua twitched the corner of her mouth awkwardly and shook her head, "It was the cold wind that blew it."
At this time, Defu said excitedly: "Miss Yan, the master has captured all those people, let's get out quickly."
Daohua felt the burning heat on her face and didn't want to go over now. She smiled uncomfortably and said, "You go first. My legs are a little numb, so I need to go slowly."
Defu had no doubts, nodded, and said with a smile: "Then I will go over and take a look first."
After Defu left, Daohua pulled Wang Maner up.
Wang Maner saw that Daohua couldn't even stand up straight, so she immediately said, "Miss, let me rub your legs for you."
Daohua waved her hand and said, "No need, it will be fine after a while." As she spoke, she swung her legs and fanned her face with her hands, trying to quickly get rid of the heat on her face.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Xiao Yeyang's voice suddenly came from behind. Daohua, who was swinging her legs, staggered and fell backwards.
Daohua subconsciously closed her eyes. Just when she thought she was about to have an intimate contact with the cold, dead leaves, her body fell into a strong embrace.
Daohua slowly opened her eyes and saw Xiao Yeyang's slightly helpless face.
"What can I say about you?" Xiao Yeyang hugged Daohua and carefully helped her up.
Daohua stood up, broke free from Xiao Yeyang's support, and said stubbornly, "My legs are numb and I can't stand steadily." Seeing Xiao Yeyang move uncomfortably, she immediately asked, "Did you pull the wound?"
Xiao Yeyang pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's okay." Seeing Daohua looking at him with some self-blame, he smiled at her legs and said, "Are your legs still numb? Do you want me to rub them for you?" After saying that, he pretended to squat down.
Daohua quickly reached out to stop him: "No, it's not numb anymore."
Xiao Yeyang glanced at her and saw that her cheeks were still red. Knowing that she was embarrassed, he didn't continue.
Daohua looked around evasively and abruptly changed the subject: "Have you caught that person? Where is he? Let's go check it out."
Xiao Yeyang nodded and naturally reached out to pull the rice flowers.
Daohua quickly took a step back and turned around quickly, letting Wang Maner support her, then limped towards the crowd.
Xiao Yeyang watched from behind, his hands still frozen in mid-air. He shook his head helplessly, and finally followed with a smile.
Dear book friends, Happy New Year’s Eve!
