"Come on, you two young heroes, try it and see how it tastes." The man smiled and brought two pieces of roasted and cut wolf meat to Wang Zhongsheng and Li Yuanhe.

The two of them smelled the aroma of the meat and swallowed uncontrollably. Li Yuanhe glanced secretly in the direction of Xi Lingyue and saw that she seemed to be talking to Yu Shiqi, and quickly took the barbecue from the man.

"You two seem to care about that girl very much." After dividing the meat, the man sat down next to Li Yuanhe and asked in a casual tone: "Who is she to you?"

"There's nothing we can do about living under someone else's roof right now." Li Yuanhe chuckled, "That's the young innkeeper, and we're all guests in the inn."

"Is there an inn nearby?" the man asked curiously.

"It takes about half a day's journey on horseback."

"In which direction?"

"We don't know the details. We are taking another way back now, but don't worry, brother, the young shopkeeper knows the way. We can't lose it with her leading the way." Li Yuanhe answered a little vaguely because he had barbecue in his mouth.

Unclear.

The man showed a thoughtful expression and asked: "What about the young man next to the young shopkeeper? Is he also a guest with you?"

Wang Zhongsheng answered: "That's right, but he seems to be helping out in the inn because he can't afford food and lodging."

"I see." The man smiled, "Then what did he do? Do you two know?"

"He is a painter." Li Yuanhe replied, "I heard that he came to the Western Wilderness just to paint the famous scenery of Xiyuequan and Tianque Peak, but he was trapped by the wind and snow."

"Oh...you two, please take it easy here, there is still a lot of meat, I will also send some to the painter brother." He stood up and left the two of them, walking towards Yu Qi and Xiling Yue.

Wang Zhongsheng and Li Yuanhe didn't care. The warmth brought by the campfire and the delicious taste of the barbecue made them feel lazy and comfortable. Neither of them wanted to move now.

"Young shopkeeper, brother painter, how about you try the meat that's been roasted down here?"

Yu Shiqi turned around and faced that smiling face, his expression was a bit stiff, and he reluctantly moved the corners of his mouth to form an ugly smile.

Xilingyue did not hide her displeasure at all, lowered her eyes and said angrily: "We won't eat."

"I understand," the man still smiled and said to Yu Shiqi: "I heard that the painter brother is now working for the young shopkeeper, so the young shopkeeper's thoughts represent your wishes. It's a pity... This meat is

It's fragrant and tender, brother, you can't bear it."

Xilingyue turned around and stamped her feet: "I'm not that overbearing. It's up to him to eat or not."

When the man heard this, he diligently handed the meat wrapped in a handkerchief to Yu Shiqi.

Yu Shiqi took a step back: "Thank you for your kindness. I accept it."

"You're welcome."

"You're not polite." Yu Shiqi shook his head, "Although they are wild beasts, they also have family affection. I can't forget the look in the female wolf's eyes when she left. I really don't want to enjoy it."

The man was a little surprised: "I didn't expect that my little brother could be so compassionate. I was the one who was abrupt. In this case, it doesn't matter if I don't eat the meat, can you give me a step to speak?"

Yu Shiqi didn't know what his purpose was in asking him to take a step to speak. He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Xilingyue's side face, and found that she seemed noncommittal about it.

"Okay." Yu Shiqi agreed and followed him to the side.

After walking more than ten steps, seeing that the man had no intention of stopping, Yu Shiqi couldn't help but call out to him: "Is that enough? Brother, you can say whatever you want. We are the only ones here who can hear it.

.”

The man turned around when he heard the sound, walked slowly in front of Yu Shiqi, walked around half a circle, and looked at him strangely.

Seeing his strange behavior, Yu Shiqi became quite wary, and his eyes became sharp unknowingly.

"Alas..." The man sighed first and then smiled: "Then I'll get straight to the point. But before that, I don't know what your name is, little brother? My name is Yao Guangcheng, and I'm from Linzhou.

peddler."

A strange color flashed in Yu Shiqi's eyes. He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and tried to keep calm: "Yu Shiqi, the unknown painter."

The man who called himself Yao Guangcheng raised his eyebrows: "Brother Yu, are you interested in the charming young shopkeeper?"

Yu Shiqi narrowed his eyes and did not answer. He was thinking in his heart what this person wanted to do.

"Don't be embarrassed, I can see it." Yao Guangcheng showed a smile like "I understand you", "Unfortunately, little brother, you are just an unknown painter. You are so poor that you can't afford room and board, so you can only help in the inn.

Work, your status is different, the young shopkeeper may not like you, am I right?"

Yu Shiqi showed an irritated and unhappy look, and he had already vaguely felt that the guy in front of him was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Yao Guangcheng saw his expression in his eyes, feeling proud and excited. He felt that what he just said was exactly what Yu Shiqi wanted.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Yu Shiqi asked.

"I feel sad for you, brother. The young shopkeeper is bossing you around, isn't she? I just came over and I see she doesn't have a good attitude toward you either. Hey, don't rush to refute yet." Yao Guangcheng stretched out his hand to stop her.

gesture.

In fact, Yu Shiqi didn't want to refute him at all, she just wanted to see what tricks he was playing.

"I guess you may be a little angry now, because what I said is indeed offensive. You may think of the times when the young shopkeeper was nice to you, and then you naively thought that she was also interested in you, right?" Yao Guangcheng's face was filled with emotion.

He was as confident as an old man. He looked at Yu Shiqi with undisguised contempt, "Little brother, you are too young and don't understand women. This is normal. Why don't you listen to me and act like the young shopkeeper?"

Even if a person usually gives you some small favors, she still can't treat you as an equal in her heart."

When Yu Shiqi heard this, his heart changed from angry to funny. The man in front of him not only lied without blinking an eye, but was also good at telling stories. This was the first time in his life that he had met such a person.

"Brother seems to know how to understand people's hearts and take advantage of the situation." Yu Shiqi said calmly.

"Thank you, little brother, your concentration is so high that I have rarely seen it in most of my life." Yao Guangcheng raised his eyebrows, "Now we are in the hinterland of the Western Wilderness, far away from Chenlin, surrounded by vast and uninhabited snowfields.

Whatever you do, you can try to follow your own will. In that case, why not give yourself a chance to face the desires in your heart?"

"Face the desires in your heart? What do you mean, brother? I don't understand."

"You think, if you return to a safe place, that delicate flower will return to the high mountains that are out of your reach, and you may never have the chance to kiss it in your life." Yao Guangcheng's eyes were full of temptation.

Yu Shiqi already understood what he was trying to say after talking so many words and going around and around, and this guy was actually plotting against Xiling Yue.

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, little brother, if you are willing to work together with me, what's the difficulty in subduing a mere woman?"

"Really?" What Yu Shiqi was thinking about was how Xilingyue would let this liar die if he knew this.

"When we return to Chenlin, you will still be a painter and I will still be a businessman. We are far away from each other. No one knows what we have done in Xihuang." Yao Guangcheng licked his lips as he spoke.

"What should we do with the two people over there?" Yu Shiqi asked.

He thought that with Yao Guangcheng's scheming attitude, it was impossible to leave Wang Zhongsheng and Li Yuanhe alone. At this moment, he saw that they were still sitting by the bonfire and looked normal, and he couldn't help but feel doubtful.

"You ask them to try?" Yao Guangcheng encouraged meaningfully.

Yu Shiqi was startled and shouted toward the bonfire: "Hey! Brother Wang! Brother Li! Are you okay?"

Wang Zhongsheng and Li Yuanhe were sitting stiffly beside the bonfire. Although they could hear Yu Shiqi's shouts, their bodies were numb and they could not move, and their mouth and tongue could not make a sound.

"I put the anesthetic I brought back from the Yuezhi Kingdom into the barbecue I gave them just now." Yao Guangcheng explained, "Don't worry, no matter what we do now, they can only watch."

Yu Shiqi's eyes turned cold: "You also wanted to use this trick on us just now."

Yao Guangcheng was not embarrassed or ashamed at all when he revealed his previously unsuccessful tricks. Instead, he had a proud smile on his face.
