Chapter Forty-Eight: Night by the Lake

In the next few days, Li Ling learned from the pain, and had an idea in his heart, how to kill Li Xu, and let out this evil breath...... Gradually, he began to eat well and would nourish his body.

On a hot day, Su Wu and Mei Ga ran around all day, and when they returned to the two herdsmen, it was already dark, close to the polar day circle, and it was not very dark in the summer night, and there was a semi-circular moon in the sky.

They were in a hurry to go back and took the wrong road on the grassland, and after more than two hours, the road was blocked by large rocks and clear water.

The two stopped their horses, Su Wu looked at the surrounding situation, carefully discerning the direction, it turned out that this was the southwest side of the Baikal Sea, and their home was due south.

"After the beginning of spring, my uncle and I set off from the coast from the place where we went to Haizi in the morning, and it took more than four hours to arrive here. Su Wushou touched the big stone platform on the shore to block the water and said.

"Is it the time you went back at dawn?" asked Mega.

"Yes, I got lost that night. Thanks to Uncle Ebba leading the way, I was able to return home at dawn. He thought about it and said, "I feel that we were walking in circles that night!"

"Do you remember the Tao?"

He shook his head and said, "It's hard to be on the same land everywhere this night. ”

Mei Ga remembered that at the beginning of spring, when the Battelles had just arrived, she had gone to visit them.

Sister Uma told her that her maiden family was on the east side of the Baikal Sea, and when she married here,

Her father sent her off on horseback, and she walked for nearly twenty days before arriving here.

She asked her: "Sister Uma, is Baikal big?"

"I heard that if a person beats a horse and gallops, he won't be able to run for three months!"

In the haze, the blue sky and the water, the sky and the water are the same color, and you can't see the edge. On a large mountain next to the water, it was dark and the leaves could not be seen, and the leaves of a large birch tree on the side of the road were motionless, and even the birds were sleeping, and the silence around was terrifying.

"What can I do now?"

"Looks like we can't go out tonight!"

"You mean, live here?" she said, horrified.

"Yes, that's the only way!" he said, seeing her frightened look, "and now it's dark, and we can't figure out the situation, whether we can go back or forward." Aren't we still carrying the food given by the shepherd, so let's eat and rest on the spot. ”

"In the wilderness?"

"Yes, in the wilderness! This water's edge is a clean slate, better than a place for people

Safety!You trust me!" Su Wu said calmly.

She absolutely believed in him. He tied the two horses to a birch tree by the meadow beside them, and the horses began to eat the grass under the tree before they heard the sound.

The two of them ate some food from the shepherd. He took a few handfuls of dried leaves under the tree, laid them on the big open stone slab on the shore, took off his clothes and laid them on them: "I will sleep here tonight." ”

"Then you don't freeze to death?"

"Come and touch it!"

She felt the warmth on the slate.

He said, "The stones are full of sunlight during the day! Make sure it's not cold at night! You sleep here!"

"And what do you do?"

He took the scepter from his horse and sat down on the edge of the stone: "I am here to watch the horses and keep watch!"

"If you don't sleep, I won't sleep!" she sat beside him.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound in the sea.

"Ahh Meiga screamed and threw her arms around him.

He felt her tremble, "Don't be afraid! ”

Then, a black creature in the water came ashore and crawled towards them. Mei Ga jumped up in horror: "What is this?"

Su Wu leaned down and looked carefully, it turned out to be an animal with fins, a small round head, shiny eyes, and a round body. Could it be that there are seals here?

When his father was in Daigun, in early autumn, he accompanied his father to the East China Sea and saw seals.

Mei Ga hugged his arm tightly and snuggled up to him and looked at it in horror, only to see it crawl over and slowly climb up the stone slab and lie motionless on it.

Hey, so this is its turf!

Mei Ga looked at it, which was black and smooth, nearly two feet long, and hugged Su Wu even tighter. Her lips trembled, "This, what, beast, hurt?"

He patted her arm and said, "It's an animal of the sea, a seal." The body is not big, it hurts people, but which of us is not bigger than it. Brown bears have a good relationship with us, we can be afraid of them!"

Hearing him say that, she was right to think about it. We are two big living people, we can be afraid

Still, she was worried: "You say, what if it, it bites?"

"Look at me!" Su Wu walked over to the stone slab and lightly hit it with his scepter. It moved, its little bright eyes glaring at them, and it said angrily, "Bah!"

Mei Ga hurriedly ducked behind him, poking her head out to look at it in horror.

"Get out!" Su Wu said in a low and majestic voice.

It still stared at them, with no intention of leaving.

Mei Ga looked around, there was no place above the ground to rest except for this large stone slab. Lalasuwu: "It takes up space, what are we going to do?"

Su Wu tried to sit on the edge of the stone slab and look at it. It saw that he had no intention of harming himself, and fell on the stone slab again.

Su Wu patted her side and said to her, "Come and sit here!"

She looked at him, too timid to sit down. He gave her a pull, and she sat on his lap. He moved towards the slab and sat more comfortably. She snuggled up into his arms and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Except for being close to his mother when he was a child, and later being close to his wife, although Su Wu is a man in a wealthy family, he has never been like this with other women.

A hot current surged in his heart, and he secretly warned himself with a scepter in his hand: Su Wu,

You can't be distracted! You must not have the idea of being wrong! He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, thinking about his home and his mother......

The seal looked strangely at them and was not of the same kind, and soon slipped out of the slab and into the water.

Mei Ga watched it go and shook Su Wu: "Brother Su, it's gone!"

Su Wu opened his eyes in shock: "What did you say?"

"It's gone!"

"Who's gone?"

"It's back in the water!"

Only then did Su Wu understand, look at the stone slab, the little seal was gone. He got up with her open hand, wiped the water from the slate with a dry leaf, and said to her, "Go to sleep first!"

"I don't, let's sleep together!" Mei Ga frowned.

"No, what if they all fall asleep and wolves and bears come?"

He comforted, "You go to sleep first, I'll keep watch!"

"Then you will sit next to me!" she lay down next to him. Usually at home, in front of the old man Yu Yiba, I don't have much to say, today is a good opportunity, I'm one

Determined to convince him, she grabbed his hand.

"What are you doing this?" he said, withdrawing his hand.

She sat up, grabbed it and said, "Brother Su, I love you!"

He wrenched her hand and stood up. She jumped off the stone slab and hugged his waist, whimpering aggrievedly.
