Chapter 13: The Dog, the Rabbit and the Goddess

After seeing Yao Zhixia's ability to control dogs with his own eyes, Xue Rin was still afraid of the long-haired dog staring at them under the tree, and he didn't even dare to breathe, he whispered and whispered to Yao Zhixia: "If we go down now, will it pounce on us and bite us?"

"I'm not sure, if you look at the rope around its neck, it must have been domesticated, but now that it's wild, it might be wild. ”

Saying that, Yao Zhixia decided to try it herself, and she tried to slow down her movements as much as possible, moving towards the tree little by little.

"What are you doing? don't go down! it will bite you!" Xue Rin nervously grabbed Yao Zhixia's arm to stop her from continuing down.

"It's okay, I'll take my time, don't make a big move in the tree, and don't shout. ”

Yao Zhixia's voice was unusually calm, she slowly climbed down from the tree, and the moment her feet landed, the long-haired dog excitedly raised her butt and rushed forward a few steps, but still didn't dare to approach immediately.

Yao Zhixia saw that it was always twisting its waist and wagging its tail vigorously, so she put her mind at ease and slowly squatted down directly in place, stretched out her arms towards the dog, and kept staring at the dog's eyes.

Xue Rin, who was holding his breath on the tree, saw Yao Zhixia make such a bold move, his hand quietly grasped a thick branch, staring at the dog intently, thinking that if the dog pounced, he would break the branch and jump down and stab it.

What Xue Rin didn't expect was that the dog swung its head up and down, wagged its tail, and rushed into Yao Zhixia's arms with a brisk pace while barking.

Yao Zhixia couldn't hold it for a while, and was pounced on the ground by this huge long-haired dog, seeing that the dog raised its front paws and was about to pounce on Yao Zhixia, Xue Rin pulled down the branch and jumped down from the tree, shouting at the excited dog: "Don't move! Wow! If you move again, I will kill you!"

Yao Zhixia looked at Xue Rin, who was waving a tree branch while learning to bark to intimidate the dog, worried that Xue Rin would stab the hornet's nest and make things worse, so he struggled to sit up, making a "hiss" sound in his mouth, trying to divert the dog's attention.

As soon as the long-haired dog jumping up and down heard this, he immediately rushed into Yao Zhixia's arms again, opened his big mouth that was still stained with blood, stretched out his tongue and licked Yao Zhixia's face and hair, Yao Zhixia was so smoked by the smell of blood and the smell that he couldn't stand it, so he immediately gave the dog an order: "Be good, sit, sit!"

When the long-haired dog heard this, although he was still reluctant, he had no choice but to flick his big tail like a fox, sit back, stick out his tongue, and look at Yao Zhixia obediently.

Xue Rin was still standing behind Yao Zhixia vigilantly, and asked nervously, "Were you okay just now?" Did it bite you?"

"I'm fine, it didn't want to bite me. ”

Yao Zhixia turned around and saw that Xue Rin had stretched out a hand to pull her up, and at this moment, the long-haired dog barked at Yao Zhixia, then turned around and ran in the direction of the cave, ran a few steps, and then turned back and barked a few times, as if waiting for them to catch up.

"We keep up, it's trying to take us wherever it wants. Yao Zhixia immediately understood.

The long-haired dog stopped and walked back to the cave with them, and led them directly to the cave.

After a few steps the cave came to an end, and by the strong sunlight outside, the whole picture of the cave was revealed, and the cave was surrounded by flat rock walls, and there was a narrow stream flowing between the crevices at the end of the rock wall, and the ground was littered with the bones and hairs of various small animals, and there was a haystack of dead grass leaves.

"Looks like it's inviting us to its house!" Xue Rin said as he looked at the hairy dog that was circling around them in the cave.

"You kid knows a lot, you know who's the boss?"

Yao Zhixia squatted down, and the long-haired dog took the initiative to run over to let her touch it, she turned over the long hair on its neck, and finally recognized that the dog tag holding its neck was engraved, which was engraved with "Pengpeng".

"Puffy, your name is Punpong?"

Yao Zhixia gently confirmed with the long-haired dog, the long-haired dog suddenly became extremely excited when he heard the word "Pengpeng", and wanted to pounce on Yao Zhixia twice, Yao Zhixia happily stroked the hair on its head, and Pengpeng whined like crying.

Just as one person and one dog were enjoying this rare warm time, Xue Rin suddenly shouted loudly: "Pengpeng!

Yao Zhixia turned around for some reason, only to see Xue Rin standing on the edge of the haystack, holding an old bone he had picked up from the ground and throwing it into the distance outside the cave.

Peng Pengzhen followed the direction in which the bones were thrown and chased outside.

"Run!" Xue Rin pulled up Yao Zhixia, who was still squatting on the ground and wondering, and dragged her to run in the direction of the waterfall.

"What are we running, what's wrong?" Yao Zhixia was dragged forward by Xue Rin and asked breathlessly.

Xue Rin pulled Yao Zhixia along the way down the mountain for a while, and only stopped to catch up after turning around to make sure that the dog hadn't caught up.

He stretched out his hand, which he had been holding behind his back, and saw that it was a bloody hare.

"You! where did you get that? you stole it from the dog hole?" asked Yao Zhixia in surprise.

Xue Rin gritted his teeth and replied confidently, "Isn't this the reception boss...... Anyway, it doesn't mean, doesn't it?"

Yao Zhixia looked at the waterfall, and could faintly hear some dog barking, she felt ashamed and helpless, "It trusts us so much, it's sad to die now." ”

"Don't blame yourself too much, it's a dog after all, and its hunting ability is better than ours, otherwise how could it survive until now. ”

Xue Rin also felt a little despicable when he saw Yao Zhixia's expression, but right now, living is the first priority, and integrity is not worth eating!

Yao Zhixia also understood the situation of the two now, after all, they hadn't eaten for two days, and they had climbed the mountain road for so long, it was really unbearable.

She nodded to Xue Rin and continued down the mountain in silence.

"When we have food, we'll give it a gift in return, okay?"

Xue Rin caught up with Yao Zhixia, who was walking with his head down, put the hand holding the rabbit behind his back, and tentatively proposed the idea.

"Well, I'll have to return two of them then. Yao Zhixia replied solemnly.

"Oo......oo

A mobile phone ringtone rang in the room, Gong Yan opened his eyes, felt a splitting headache, he rubbed his sore eyes, and wanted to sit up from the sofa, but at the moment when his waist was forced, he felt that his spine was about to break, and the sofa really couldn't sleep!

He looked at the pink blanket of the hello Kitty cat on his body, lifted it and prepared to get up, but suddenly saw a glass of water on the coffee table, and a note pressed underneath.

He picked up the cup and took a long sip of water, and at the same time picked up the note to see what was written on it.

"Mr. Gong, good morning, thank you for your company last night, the 50 yuan on the table was specially left for you, I went out to buy breakfast, if you have something to do, you can leave at any time, thank you!"

Before Gong Yan could swallow the sip of water, it was directly squirted out!

At this time, he found that on the messy coffee table, there were two 20 yuan bills and a 10 yuan bill neatly stacked, he reached out and picked up a 20 yuan banknote, stared at it for a long time, and then gritted his teeth and said, "When I am a duck?"

Gong Yanzheng was angry, but there was a sound of the key turning on the other side of the door, and he raised his head to see Liu Piaopiao carrying buns and soy milk into the house.

"Mr. Gong, are you awake? I'm sorry, I wronged you to let you sleep on the sofa last night, I bought the best-selling meat buns we have here, I don't know if it suits your appetite, you can taste it!"

Liu Piaopiao walked to the coffee table, put the breakfast in front of Gong Yan's eyes, and broke the disposable chopsticks and put them on top of the soy milk cup.

Gong Yan was angry here, he saw Liu Piaopiao like he was fine, and couldn't help but speak: "What does this money mean?"

"I am very grateful to you for sending me home yesterday, and for accompanying me through my most difficult time, buying me wine, which is half of my money, and I can no longer take advantage of you. Liu Piaopiao explained to Gong Yan sincerely.

Gong Yan smiled bitterly, not knowing how to respond, it rained heavily last night, and the two of them collapsed to the limit after learning that their best friend was shipwrecked.

Gong Yan originally just wanted to send Liu Piaopiao home, so he went to Xue Huaiyuan's house to plead guilty, but halfway Liu Piaopiao suddenly proposed that she wanted to go to the bar to buy drunk, Gong Yan didn't worry that she was a girl going to the bar alone at such a vulnerable time, so she had to go to the convenience store to buy a few bottles of wine for her and let her go home to drink.

But when she arrived downstairs at her house, Liu Piaopiao's sentence "Do you want to drink?" was like a spell, which made Gong Yan, who had almost zero alcohol, go.

Regarding the absurdity of last night, Gong Yan only remembered that Liu Piaopiao was gnawing on braised pig's trotters, and said inarticulate with a runny nose: "This is Sister Zhixia who gave me braised pig's trotters, she knows that I love to eat braised pig's trotters, woo......"

Liu Piaopiao seemed to talk to him a lot last night, but Gong Yan, who had a surprisingly bad amount of alcohol, couldn't remember it.

"Mr. Gong, eat quickly! It will be cold in a while. Liu Piaopiao saw that Gong Yan was stunned, so he urged.

"Well, thank you! By the way, I'm going to the Coast Guard in a moment, do you want to go with me?"

"Can I go? If I can, I'm going, Sister Zhixia has no family, I don't want her to be alone, I want to go." Liu Piaopiao said and choked up again.

"Well, you have to have faith that they still have a chance of surviving. ”

Gong Yan still had a weak heart when he said this, after all, when he called Xue Huaiyuan last night to inform him of this bad time, he couldn't hold back his sadness and cried.

Xue Rin is the only buddy he has played with since he was a child and has nothing to talk about, he has long believed that Xue Rin is his own brother, and he never thought that Xue Rin, who is blessed with a great life, would encounter this kind of thing.

When Xue Rin and Yao Zhixia returned to the campfire on the beach, it was already dark, and the water and sky were dyed with a thick layer of orange and red, and the blue-black sea was still calm.

Yao Zhixia was so tired that her calves couldn't suppress the trembling, but she still endured and picked up some firewood nearby.

Xue Rin covered his mouth and nose with his apron like a mask, groped with a stone knife to peel off the skin of the rabbit that was stolen from the dog's mouth, cut the rabbit meat, skewered it on a sharpened branch, and used the firewood collected by Yao Zhixia to make a fire, and set the branch on the bonfire to roast.

From the moment the fire was on the shelf, both of them were silent, staring at the string of bright red rabbit meat.

Xue Rin waited anxiously, while recalling the feeling of dismantling the rabbit just now, this was the first time in his life to dissect an animal, the son of the Xue family who had never even turned on the kitchen stove before, but now he was reduced to snatching food from the dog's mouth, it was really a good reincarnation!

Xue Rin helplessly rubbed his messy hair and touched his chin with a green beard.

After a long wait, the rabbit meat finally turned black and red, although it looked really hard to swallow, but at the moment the two people who were so hungry that they were already blackened in front of them couldn't care so much, Xue Rin forked a piece of rabbit meat and put it on the banana leaf and handed it to Yao Zhixia, and dried another piece for himself.

Yao Zhixia took the rabbit meat, hesitating and not knowing how to take a bite, "Mr. Xue, have you ever eaten rabbit meat?"

"I've eaten French food before, it's not weird, don't call me Mr. Xue, whoever has a bad smell like me, just call me Xue Rin." ”

Xue Rin himself couldn't stand the smoke of the body covered by this diving suit, not to mention Yao Zhixia, but after getting along for a few days, he knew that she was an empathetic woman and took everything to heart.

When Yao Zhixia heard what he said, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, and then, she took the first bite of rabbit meat with confidence.

But as soon as she chewed it twice, the expression on her face became distorted and complicated, and Xue Rin saw her reaction like this, and she also picked up the rabbit meat and took a bite.

When the taste of rabbit meat spread in his mouth, Xue Rin only felt a burst of vomiting in his throat, he forced the nausea to swallow the first bite of meat, and then immediately grabbed the freshly opened coconut and rinsed his mouth.

"This, the rabbit meat I used to eat was fake!" Xue Rin really couldn't imagine that without seasonings and special treatments, the originally delicious and tender rabbit meat would become so fishy.

Yao Zhixia didn't say a word here, she stared at the piece of rabbit meat, bit her lip, and then quickly bit down on a piece of meat, swallowed it, and so on, eating the whole piece of meat as quickly as possible, she chewed the last bite, and snatched the coconut from Xue Rin's hand to rinse her mouth.

Xue Rin looked at this tragic scene blankly, and an inexplicable sense of admiration rose from the bottom of her heart, she was not a goddess of life, she was a goddess of war.
