My game even includes ancient times

Yunzhou is truly beautiful in late summer and early autumn. The green grass is like waves, the trees form forests, the sky is high and blue, and pure white clouds float in the air. It's as beautiful as a scene from an animated movie.

But He Yu had no time to appreciate it. She dared not open her eyes completely, nor did she dare to close them completely. She could only half-close her eyes and let He Shi control the direction. She felt as if her heart was about to fly out of her mouth.

The horse streaked across the emerald plain like a red lightning bolt, then slowly slowed down and stopped by a stream in front of a grove of trees.

He Yu slowly dismounted, his back straight and relaxed, displaying a composed and unhurried demeanor. However, when his toes touched the ground, his legs almost gave way and he could not stand.

She calmly steadied herself by holding onto the back of the saddle for a moment before letting go and taking a few steps back. She placed her slightly trembling hands behind her back, and a gentle breeze caused her pure black conical hat and the hem of her dress to flutter in the air, exuding an air of superiority.

Beneath the gauze curtain, where no one could see, her expression was ferocious, her teeth almost grinding to powder.

He Shi nimbly jumped off the horse, led it to a large tree by the river, tied it up, and let it graze and drink water on its own.

Then he took out two water jugs from his satchel, walked over to He Yu, and handed her the bamboo one.

He Yu had recovered by this time. Apart from still feeling a little dizzy, she had no physical discomfort and her thighs were not sore or painful at all.

She took the water bottle from He Shi and found that it looked very similar to the outdoor water bottle she had given to He Shi, and even had the same pattern wrapped in fine linen.

He Yu opened the stopper and took a sip.

The edge of the spout was polished to be very smooth. The slightly cool water flowed into my mouth, carrying a faint bamboo fragrance, which completely calmed my racing heartbeat after riding a horse at full speed.

Put the stopper in, turn the kettle upside down, and it doesn't leak at all.

He Yu glanced at He Shi in surprise.

Although her face was covered, He Shi seemed to see the question on her face and said with a smile, "I made this based on the kettle you gave me."

He made more than a dozen in total, ruining a small section of the bamboo grove in the village. The finished products either leaked or didn't look right. Only this one was presentable.

He Yu sincerely praised, "You have such skillful hands."

He Shi smiled sheepishly: "I just did this casually when I had nothing else to do. I'm glad you don't mind."

He Yu took another sip of the sweet water, then sat down on the ground.

She held the teapot in her right hand, supported herself slightly on the ground with her left hand, bent her right leg, rested her right forearm on her knee, felt the breeze carrying the scents of flowers and grass, and gazed contentedly at the distant scenery.

Seeing this, He Shi also sat down on the ground like her, looking into the distance, with a distance of more than a foot between the two.

After sitting quietly for half an hour, He Yu felt that her soul had been cleansed by the pure and refreshing scenery, becoming very peaceful and gentle. The gloom brought on by what happened in the shop during the day also disappeared.

She turned her head to look at He Shi's profile and found that he also seemed to be lost in thought, his thick, long eyelashes trembling slightly in the wind, his gaze fixed on the distance.

This kid usually puts too much pressure on himself. Now that he's out having fun and relaxing, it's good for his mental health. Look, isn't he just letting his mind go?

He Yu withdrew his gaze, thinking this with a sense of relief, when he heard He Shi's voice beside him: "Two groups of people on the other side are fighting."

?

He Yu looked closely and saw that there did indeed appear to be a small black dot wriggling on the distant hillside.

"who?"

"There are three people on one side, two men and one woman, who look very young. There are five people on the other side, who also don't seem to be very old. Unfortunately, they are too far away, so I can't see their faces clearly."

"..."

He Yu strained his eyes to see, but could only make out a tiny, wriggling black dot.

She gained a clearer understanding of He Shiyuan's extraordinary vision.

At this moment, He Shi suddenly stood up: "They're coming this way!"

He Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and stood up from the ground. He decisively said, "Let's go. If we go through the woods and walk another two or three miles, we'll reach the main road. Once we get on the main road, we won't be far from the post station. We can rest there."

He Shi naturally had no objections. The two mounted their horses and headed straight into the woods along the path.

After entering the woods, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed. He Yu gripped the reins tightly. Before she had run a few steps, a red dot suddenly appeared in her field of vision. Judging from its location, it was on a tree not far ahead.

He Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously pulled hard on the reins. The red horse raised its long neck and charged forward a few more steps before slowly coming to a stop.

She pulled He Shi into her arms, shielding him, and stared intently at the red dot.

He Shi was bewildered by her series of actions, and sat stiffly in place, not daring to move at all.

The red dot remained still, hanging silently above the field of vision, its glaring red light instilling a deep sense of unease.

I was so careless. I thought the area around the Chu family was relatively safe. Now look what's happened. I don't know martial arts. How am I supposed to protect He Shi?

While pondering a countermeasure, He Yu kept a close eye on the red light, in case the other party suddenly launched an attack.

A short while later, He Yu seemed to hear chaotic voices approaching from this direction, and she looked down at He Shi.

He Shi's gaze had been fixed on her since the beginning. When he saw the silent black curtain slowly lower, his eyes trembled, and he said in a low voice, "It's those two groups of people we just saw."

He Yu nodded in agreement.

In the short time it took to say just two sentences, the three disheveled teenagers rushed into the woods. When they saw the chestnut horse standing in the middle of the road and the man in black on it, they paused, then simultaneously turned slightly to pass by the horse.

One of the boys, who was leading the group, shouted, "Hey, you guys in front, get out of the way!"

As he shouted, he mustered his last remaining internal energy, secretly guarding against the black-clad man's sneak attack.

Suddenly, a person and a horse appeared in the middle of the road in the deserted woods. Something seemed wrong. Could they be lying in ambush?

The man in black didn't move at all after hearing his shout, not even turning his head. Was he deaf?

Just as the boys rushed to the back of the horse and focused their attention on the man in black on the horse, the branches of a large tree in front of them suddenly swayed, and a green shadow swooped down at an extremely fast speed, almost in the blink of an eye, about to pass by the man in black.

At the same time, he raised his left hand, and a curved blade, like a half-moon, sliced ​​through the air, aiming for the neck of the man in black sitting on the horse.
