Chapter 25: The Swamp Crisis
The overgrown mountain stream reverberates with the sound of rustling.
The frightened bird reacted quickly, leaving where it had been staying, and hovering back and forth in the air to see what was going on.
A thick branch limped into the ground, so that Cao Wei could have something to rely on and not let his weak body fall.
After the two entered the territory of Buzhou Mountain, they had already walked for nearly half an hour, but the fog in the mountains in the early morning was very difficult to disperse, so Yun Xue ignored Cao Wei's refusal and supported them along the way.
Seeing that the two had not spoken, Yun Xue felt that the atmosphere was particularly awkward, but the two were almost strangers, and they didn't know where to start.
Looking up at the sky, Yun Xue suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and immediately asked with a smile: "Cao Wei, how did you know about this Buzhou Mountain?"
Cao Wei is not the kind of withdrawn character who is not close to people, not to mention that Yun Xue, who puts himself on his shoulder, is a life-saving benefactor, Cao Wei will never respond without a word.
But this question will involve the spirit, Cao Wei thought for a while, took a deep breath, and said, "Shouldn't all the people with abilities know about this place?"
"Uh-huh, no, Master said, Buzhou Mountain is an extremely mysterious place, it covers almost all the races of land demon beasts in the world, if you don't have a family background or a well-informed person, you won't know about it at all. Yun Xue shook her head again and again, her eyes wide as if she was ready to reply.
Cao Wei's life experience is richer than Yunxue's, and he quickly took advantage of what she said to reconcile.
"I see, this news was told to me by a friend of mine, and his background is okay, I thought I didn't know the whole world, hehe. ”
The topic gradually opened, and the strangeness between the two began to fade.
But after putting aside all the topics, Cao Wei is calm on the surface, but there are thousands of waves in his heart.
Ling Ling didn't tell him that there were all kinds of strange demon beasts on this Buzhou Mountain, and the hierarchy between demon beasts was all known from Yun Xue's mouth.
At first, Cao Wei thought that coming to this mountain was probably a simple weight-bearing mountain climb or special training or something, but he didn't expect that Lingling guy to actually fight the rotten idea of gaining experience through combat.
After the sluice opened, the voices of a man and a woman slowly moved in the mountains.
The two inexperienced people had no idea that they were in danger at the moment.
As soon as the large branch that Cao Wei used as a crutch hit the ground, he felt a soft object.
Curious, Cao Wei pulled Yun Xue, who wanted to move forward, with his arm.
But it was such a simple action, but she accidentally touched a certain part of Yun Xue, which frightened her heart suddenly, and because of fear, Yun Xue's nervous body became extremely stiff.
However, Cao Wei didn't know it at all, and this matter was kept a secret by Yun Xue from then on, sealed in the depths of his heart.
Cao Wei, who was about to bow his head, had a more and more ominous premonition in his heart, and the sound of shortness of breath began to become louder, and when he saw the object under his feet, it was too late.
"Hmm, what's wrong with you?" Yun Xue struggled to stabilize her mind before noticing the strange expression on Cao Wei's face.
"Heh, don't you feel it?" Cao Wei looked at Yun Xue who was casual and smiled bitterly.
Following Cao Wei's gaze, Yun Xue looked at the soles of her feet with a puzzled expression. What followed was a rapidly changing expression on his face.
"What should we do, are we going to be swallowed by the swamp?" Yun Xue was crying in an instant, grabbing Cao Wei's hands again and again, and her feet were struggling desperately.
But how can the swamp be so easy to leave?and the more you struggle, the faster you will sink in.
"Don't move, don't worry, there's a way. ”
With such a move, the swamp seemed to have hands, grabbing Yun Xue's feet and pulling her down.
At this moment, Cao Wei only sank into his calf, and Yun Xue was about to be submerged to his waist.
Yun Xue, who didn't even dare to cry loudly, bit her lip in fear, her eyes were closed and she didn't dare to look around.
The sobs ratched his teeth and a little blood flowed out.
"Cao Wei, I'm afraid. I still want to take care of Master, I don't want to die. Although Yun Xue had her eyes closed, her body had already felt obviously.
There is no control at all from the waist down, and there is even a strong feeling of pressure coming from the feet.
Cao Wei had seen a lot of this kind of swamp when he was doing tasks before, and if he had the experience of self-help, he would naturally not be afraid.
In the face of this situation, first of all, the person should not move, and then immediately take off the shirt, which can play a role in reducing gravity, and second, spread the clothes on the swamp surface, which can temporarily play a supporting role.
However, Cao Wei's clothes had already been beaten to tatters during the battle with the chimpanzee, and the holes that could be seen everywhere could not form a closed area at all.
In desperation, Cao Wei had no choice but to look at the clothes on Yun Xue's body.
Gently put his hands on Yun Xue's two shoulders, and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he felt a strong tremor coming from his hands.
"I didn't expect her to be so scared, she has a big personality, but she is weaker than a child. Cao Wei couldn't help but think in his heart.
At this moment, a thousand words of comfort are not as simple as a sentence that has a way.
So Cao Wei doesn't plan to comfort anymore, it's better to do it in one step.
"Yunxue, listen to me, I need you to cooperate with me, understand?"
In fact, Cao Wei didn't notice that after accepting the task of protecting Lin Shiyu, his personality had undergone earth-shaking changes, and he began to consider the feelings of others.
Seeing that Yun Xue didn't answer nervously, just looked at herself with crying red eyes, Cao Wei said: "I need to take off your cloak and long skirt, don't worry, I won't think about you, and you should have a base coat inside, I can't see it." ”
What Cao Wei meant by not seeing, of course Yun Xue knew. But the first time I came into contact with a man, I was already very shy, but I didn't expect to take off my long skirt in front of a man, just fantasizing about the picture had already made Yun Xue's whole body red.
"Okay, okay, you promise me that you can't ...... me that"
"I promise you. ”
Subsequently, under Yun Xue's timidity, Cao Wei slowly faded off the cloak and long skirt on his body, leaving only a thin base.
In this situation, even if Cao Wei is calm in his heart, he still can't escape the vulgar thoughts, especially the shoulders and neck that have become red because of shyness, which makes Cao Wei have to think about it.
However, Yun Xue seemed to feel something, even if she closed her eyes nervously, and at the moment when Cao Wei stopped moving, she said, "You just promised me." ”
This sentence made Cao Wei sober up, fortunately, Yun Xue's weight was not too high, and because she was too weak, her weight was not much stronger, so the sinking speed of the two was not very fast.
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, when Cao Wei was about to spread the long skirt on the swamp, Yun Xue continued: "Just, even if you have that idea, can you escape first?"
As soon as he settled down, Cao Wei became angry because of a sentence, if he hadn't been in a quagmire at the moment, Cao Wei would have been a bad guy.
"What? Is it okay to escape?" In order to divert his attention, Cao Wei tried his best to restrain himself, joking while taking care of the escape method.
"I ......"
"Alright, you climb up first. ”
Cao Wei interrupted Yun Xue's words, which just saved her from the embarrassment in her heart.
As she moved to the edge of the long skirt little by little, Yun Xue once again sped up her sagging. But even if her stomach is already over this time, Yun Xue is no longer afraid.
I don't know why, Yun Xue looked at Cao Wei's eyes and had a very safe feeling.
After finally supporting Yunxue and sending her back to land, Cao Wei was only left with his head and raised hands outside.
"Wait a minute, I'll come to you right away. Yun Xue's expression was still a little dazed, but after seeing Cao Wei's situation, she was no longer allowed to have time to breathe.
Yun Xue picked up a small wooden stick next to her, stretched it out to Cao Wei's hand, and under Cao Wei's command, she pulled Cao Wei out of the swamp with two light strokes and a fast rhythm.
"Whew!"
The two of them lay on the grass leaning against each other, looking at each other covered in mud, and couldn't help but laugh.
