Chapter 119: Desperate
Only the last two fruits were collected, and the dry branches covered with large leaves were all lost and soaked in water.
There was no trace of sadness on the little girl's face, just coldly watching the heavy rain outside form a line of water, crackling and smashing on the ground, splashing one after another.
Suddenly, she felt someone push her in the back, and when she turned around, she saw Phil's big face, which had lost a lot of weight, staring directly at the two fruits on the ground, and the sound of Abba Abba came out of his mouth.
Lin Yun touched his stomach, gave both fruits to Phil, and grabbed a few hard grains, put them in his mouth and ground them a little bit with his teeth, and swallowed them into his stomach.
These dozen grains were the only food she had today, but watching Phil gobble up, the corners of her mouth still curled.
As a result of this heavy rain, the water of the waterfall has skyrocketed, and the river not far away has already submerged all the sand, and it is only a short distance of more than 20 meters from their cave.
The sound of an even louder waterfall drowned out the faint call in the distance.
Jones wiped the rain from his face and said to Matthew, "It's raining so much, they can't hear it even here."
It's better to find a place to avoid first, your injuries haven't fully recovered, and you can't get sick anymore.
The rain will stop tomorrow at the latest. ”
Matthew didn't care about his pale face, shook his head and said: "There are more than a dozen tributaries in this waterfall group, and now only half of them have been found, let's work harder and strive to find them all today." ”
With that, he plunged into the rain again.
Paul glanced at his brother reproachfully, followed without saying anything.
Although they are twin brothers, they have the same heart and mind and cooperate tacitly, but their personalities are very different.
The brothers also adored and loved the old Earl Brad, and were proud and loyal to be the Lion's internal guard.
But the elder brother Jones is more arrogant and self-motivated, and among the two Matthew brothers, he is faintly inclined to the heir Francis.
Paul himself, on the other hand, did not have such great ambitions and did not have any inclinations, but only did his own things seriously.
One thing, which only he knew, was that a few days earlier, outside the campsite, Hampton had approached the brothers and made a suggestion, but the brother had disdainfully refused.
Only the brothers and the Hamptons were present, so Paul didn't say a word about it.
He didn't dare, and couldn't, want to bury this secret in his heart forever.
It wasn't until he saw Hampton's broken body at that small cliff that Paul first felt that it was time to separate from his brother and follow his own path.
In the valley, Lin Yun swallowed the last grain, and faintly heard the sound of hitting water from the surging river outside.
She looked out, trying to find the source of the sound through the dense rain lines.
Suddenly, more than 20 meters away, the waves rolled, and a black one
The shadow surfaced, struggling to swim this way.
Lin Yun's heart sank, she was no stranger to that shadow, she had seen it many times in the past ten years, and she was deeply impressed.
It was a gray-black cat, a natural hunter in the jungle, agile, cunning and greedy.
It likes to hunt small animals the most, and it is also ideal for young children.
The cat in front of me is not about two feet long, not a tail, it is not big, it should be a female cat, probably accidentally swept into the flood and washed down from the waterfall.
Lin Yun glanced at Phil behind him, tied the dagger firmly to his right hand with a rope, and quietly guarded the door of the cave.
The cat was probably a little dizzy from the huge impact that fell from the sky, and the rain also blocked its sensitive sense of smell, and for a while it didn't even notice two small ones not far away.
Just climbed onto the shore with trembling feet, shook the river water on his body, and flicked his long tail behind him, looking a little weak.
Instinctively, it walked towards the heights, getting closer and closer to Lin Yun and them.
Suddenly, it stopped, and the cat-faced sniffed the air in confusion, as if unsure, and took a few more steps towards the cave.
Finally, a man and a beast met in the pouring rain.
Lin Yun subconsciously leaned back, seemed to think of Phil in the cave, and stopped again.
But from beginning to end, her eyes never left the figure of the cat.
The cat was also startled, the pupils of its eyes dilated instantly, its back arched, its mouth let out a low roar, its sharp claws dug deep into the mud, and it looked at the human on the opposite side vigilantly.
Lin Yun also lowered his body, his sharp dagger pointed straight ahead, and his mouth also let out a low roar, as if he was intimidating the other party.
Neither man nor beast seemed to be sure of killing with one blow, but they were just hesitating and confronting each other.
Time passed minute by minute, although it was a little cold, Lin Yun's forehead was oozing sweat, staring at Lin Mao's eyes, without blinking.
The cat seemed to retreat, moved backwards, and paced left and right a few steps.
Suddenly, a drop of rain fell into Lin Yun's eyes, blurring her vision and forcing her to close that eye.
I saw a cat jumping up, stepping on the branch of a small tree, and pounced towards the cave.
Lin Mao's movements were very fast, and his sturdy body crossed a sharp arc in the air, and he saw a phantom figure coming to Lin Yun's body.
The sharp claws were less than half a meter away from Lin Yun's pretty little face, and the little girl was about to be pounced.
Suddenly, Lin Yun let go of his left arm, which was the slender branch they had used to fish before.
The branches are soft and flexible, and the other end is always trampled under Lin Yun's feet.
The fractured left arm could only be barely immobilized, bending it into a large arch.
The moment it was released, the long-accumulated tension made it pop out violently and pump directly
Hit the cat in the head.
The two female creatures, one large and one small, each issued their own long-planned killing move in just one second.
The cat is indeed a natural hunter, and the unique sensitive reaction of the feline family allows it to avoid the attack of the branches at the last moment.
It turned slightly sideways, and with a twist of its waist, it let the branches follow its smooth fur and disappear into the rain.
But its claws also had to be retracted, changed angles, and continued to grasp Lin Yun.
The attack failed, but the little girl did not panic in the slightest, and her tense little face even showed a snicker, and she stabbed it with a dagger in the face of the black shadow that had plummeted in speed.
I don't know where I got in a hurry, the cat let out a terrible scream, and its heavy body threw the little girl to the ground.
For a while, a man and a beast hugged each other and fought together.
After a minute of fighting, the small cave was already in tatters and a mess.
Gradually, Lin Mao and Lin Yun stopped moving, and they didn't know who won and who lost, maybe they lost both.
Only Phil crouched in the innermost part of the cave, looking at the scene in front of him with curiosity on his face, and a silly smile on his face.
On the mountain wall where the cave was located, Matthew stopped a few people around him with gestures and listened attentively: "Listen, is there any movement down there?"
Paul listened and replied, "Like a wild beast." ”
"With such heavy rain, where will the beasts come out, let's go down and see. Matthew ordered.
"Yes. The crowd replied in unison.
When Phil opened his eyes again, he was alerted to something that was wrong.
It was no longer the meadow of the valley, but a rather familiar bedroom, which he recognized, and finally returned to the Castle of the Wild Lion in Gaokan City.
Saved?
He closed his eyes, and after a while, he opened them again, and the scene in front of him remained the same, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Although he has the soul of an adult man, the ups and downs of the past month or so and the experience of life and death still make him feel palpitations.
Wait, what about Yun'er?
Phil turned his head to look, except for Blair, who was dozing off, he didn't find the figure of the elf-like girl, and he chuckled in his heart.
"Are you awake?" Bhullar looked at the little master on the bed in surprise, the whole family was in a bad mood for more than a month, and she was even more so.
"You wait, I'll call Madame. Before Phil could ask what was in his mind, Bhullar had already taken three steps and two steps and ran out of the room.
"It's still so frizzy, it hasn't changed at all. Phil muttered.
Catherine pounced on her, like a hungry she-leopard, holding the little fat man tightly in her arms, as if she was unwilling to part for a second.
Phil also hugged Catherine tightly, and when he saw it for the first time, he couldn't believe that the thin and haggard woman in front of him was the bright and noble mother he remembered.
