Chapter 37: Mixed feelings

I had been in this water for a day, and I hurried to swim towards John.

I don't know if it's my psychological effect, or if the stupid bird's call is really so peculiar.

When the two returned to the cave, the women were already waiting a little anxiously, and we casually prevaricated the reasons why the women went out.

Only Paul's meaningful eyes kept wandering over us, and when I looked at him, he quickly looked away.

I hadn't eaten for a day, but I didn't feel hungry, I just ate a few bites casually, Ling Han was the first to notice my abnormality and gently leaned over to me.

"What's wrong?" Ling Han asked softly.

"It's okay, what's wrong?" I said, squeezing out a smile.

"That's not how you usually eat. Ling Han said.

"Why, it's all the same, what's wrong with you?" I said.

Ling Han looked at it with a look on his face for a while, I didn't dare to look away, Ling Han sighed and stopped talking.

I hurriedly ate a few more bites, but I couldn't swallow it at all, and even felt a little sick to my stomach, so I resisted the churning of stomach acid and swallowed the food in my mouth.

I stood up and said to the crowd, "I'm sick to my stomach, eat it." ”

After saying that, I went straight to my bamboo bed and lay down on my side, holding my shoulders tightly with my hands, as if it would be more comfortable.

John knew what was wrong with me, but the women didn't, and Paul didn't tell him whether it was successful or not, but now we guessed it.

All the women gathered around me at this moment, and they all looked anxious, but they gave me a lot of comfort.

If I hadn't resolved the matter, the safety of these women would not have been guaranteed, and when I think about it, I seem to be doing the right thing.

"I'm fine, it's just that my stomach is a little upset, don't worry. I said.

"I'll look for the medicine you brought out and see if there's a suitable one. Liu Yue said.

"I'm really fine, those medicines are saved to save my life, but don't move, I may have taken too much yesterday, I didn't sleep well last night, I'll just take a rest." I said.

After all the persuasion of my explanation, the women finally stopped surrounding me, but John and Paul also behaved strangely because the two did not come forward to care for me.

This was impossible before, and now the three of us are like an iron triangle, and since I'm not feeling well, it's impossible for them to ignore it.

Ling Han, who was still smart, discovered the clue first, and at this time, the girls were cleaning up the dishes, and Ling Han came to me again.

"What the hell is going on?" Ling Han asked.

"It's really fine. I said with a smile.

"I don't believe it, you're not feeling well, John and Paul didn't come to care about you, are you making a fuss?" Ling Han asked.

"How is it possible, what kind of awkwardness is there?" I said.

"Then what's going on?" Ling Han asked reluctantly.

I'm not going to tell them what happened today, and if I could, I think it would always be a mystery.

So I shouted to them, "John, Paul." ”

"What's wrong?" John was the first to run briskly.

Paul was slightly stunned, but quickly followed.

"Ling Han said that we had an awkward quarrel, I have an uncomfortable stomach, and you don't care about me. I said with a smile.

"Your body, what's there to worry about if your stomach is uncomfortable, it's definitely because you ate too much yesterday. "John opened his mouth and came up, and he just happened to be in line with my lie.

Ling Han was still not at ease, and looked at Paul, who had not spoken.

"It's just that he has nothing to worry about in his body, it's that he didn't rest well last night. Paul said with a smile.

Ling Han looked at the three of us in turn, stood up and said, "I always feel that you are weird, don't hide something from us if you have something." ”

"No, no, no. The three of us said in unison.

Ling Han turned around and left, and when Ling Han walked away, Paul looked at me apologetically and said, "Yang, I'm sorry." ”

"Don't say such things to your own brother. I said with a smile.

"John told me that I should have borne the pain with you. Paul said guiltily.

"Don't say that, I can understand you, and it's good to have one less person to suffer. I said.

"However, I can't get over it when you bear such a thing alone. Paul said.

"Okay, don't mother-in-law, I'm fine, I can stand it. I said with a smile.

Paul wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth but never said it, in fact, both of them knew how such a thing could be digested so quickly.

"Then you can rest, let's go build a house. John said.

I nodded, and the two of them walked away step by step, and I lay on the bed looking at the top of the cave, the image still lingering in my head.

Maybe I didn't sleep well in the past few days, and coupled with the mental pressure of the whole day, I don't know when, I fell asleep.

But this time it wasn't the cry of a stupid bird that woke me up, it was a nightmare, I dreamed that people were around me, pointing at me and calling me a "murderer", and I was even banished to a cave where hundreds of monsters were waiting for me.

I woke up with a soaking back soaked, accustomed to the darkness for a while, and through the bonfire that had not yet been completely extinguished, I could see the situation around me, John and Paul were still asleep, but I couldn't sleep anymore.

I got up and walked towards the campfire, got some firewood and sat down, taking a piece of venison jerky and putting it in my mouth.

The flesh in my mouth hadn't swallowed yet, but I heard movement behind me, and my hand instinctively touched the dagger on my waist.

"It's me. A female voice whispered.

I followed the sound and looked back, it was like a dream, I withdrew the hand on the dagger, and turned back to stare at the campfire in front of me.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Rumeng as she sat down beside me and whispered.

"Why don't you sleep?" I asked.

"I had a nightmare. Rumeng said.

I almost blurted out that I had a nightmare, but as soon as I opened my mouth, I quickly closed it, but all this was naturally completely seen by Rumeng.

"Actually, that night, I heard you talking. Rumeng whispered.

I looked at her with some surprise, but she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I didn't tell anyone." ”

"What about you—" I asked, a little puzzled.

"I used to think you weren't worthy of me, but now I feel like I'm not worthy of you. Rumeng said.

Before I could get back to my senses, Rumeng continued: "At that time, I saw the captain die in front of me, and my situation at that time was similar to that of you now, I understand your feelings, and I know that you are doing the right thing, because you are not doing it for yourself, and you are indeed killing the person who should be killed." ”

"No one should be killed, no one should be killed, I can't forget his expression before he died. I said with my head down.

"But you also know the consequences of not killing him. Rumeng said.

"How do you know it's me?" I asked.

"Because you're the only one who's acting badly. Rumeng said.

Without waiting for me to answer, Rumeng continued: "Things have happened, your guilt can't solve the current problem, maybe you have to face such a situation, you can only accept the facts now." ”

"It's not killing animals, it's killing people. I said with a wry smile.

"Maybe you're not killing a human anymore. Rumeng said.

After speaking, he looked at me with affection, his eyes were full of tenderness, and for a moment an invisible force pulled me, and I couldn't help but slowly move closer to Rumeng.

The firewood in the campfire suddenly exploded, and the sound pulled me back to reality, and the lips of the dream were right in front of me, but I still controlled myself and hurriedly did it.

"You still can't accept me?" Rumeng whispered with her head down.

How do I answer this question? I've never experienced this, and even if I wanted to, the current situation wouldn't allow it.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Rumeng thought that I had acquiesced, sighed a little sadly, and slowly stood up.

"I'm sorry, I'm not—" I was a little incoherent.

"It's okay, I'm going to rest. Rumeng left a beautiful smile and turned and walked away.

This troubled my mind even more, but the murder had a much smaller impact on my psyche, and now my mind is full of dreams, even women.

I got up and went back to bed and lay down, the beautiful faces of the women kept flashing in my mind.

"What's wrong with me?" I thought to myself.
