Li Rui was thinking wildly, but he also forgot to urge Ouyang Xin behind him to run away, and suddenly, he glanced at the corner and saw a few branches scattered under a poplar tree on the left. The thickest of those branches is the size of a thumb, and the thinnest is the thickness of chopsticks. He thought in his heart that picking up the thickest branch might have a deterrent effect on the vicious dog. However, now that he is more than two meters away from that branch, if he really went to pick it up, the dog would have already pounced and bitten it, and it was too late to pick it up, besides, he went to pick it up, but he sold Ouyang Xin to it, what if it pounced on her? Alas, what can I do?

Suddenly, he thought again, this dog had already approached so closely, but still didn't pounce, did it mean that it didn't have any guts? It was also afraid of himself and Ouyang Xin, two big living people? Otherwise, it would have pounced long ago. As soon as this idea came to mind, he suddenly had the confidence again, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu is a six-foot-tall great husband, strong and powerful, and knows kung fu, is he still afraid of a Shiba dog? If it really starts fighting, Lao Tzu will let it bite twice, and he will kill it alive, thinking of this, he suddenly shouted loudly, and at the same time opened his arm and hit a few sets of punches and kicks, thinking, I am so scared that I can't scare it is like this, if it really dares to pounce, then I will be out today; of course, it is best if it does not pounce, so it escapes, and the two sides are safe, that is a great joy.

He shouted loudly while waving his fists and feet, opening and closing his fists and feet widely, full of might, and the sound of his mouth was also quite powerful. The big yellow dog actually ate this set, and watched him in a daze as this "humanoid monster" showed his strength, and he didn't dare to bark again, and retreated several steps in a row.

Seeing it retreating, Li Rui immediately carried forward the spirit of beating the water dog, and pretended to rush over. In fact, he just wanted to rush two steps and pull it down, if it really forced it to be anxious, it rushed up desperately, and it would be him who was embarrassed. Unexpectedly, the big yellow dog looked tall and big, but his courage was very small, and he was so frightened that he turned his head and ran away with his tail between his legs, and soon went around to the back of the dilapidated house and disappeared.

Li Rui was afraid that it would come back, so he didn't dare to let go, so he ran to the poplar tree and picked up the thickest branch, and slightly sorted it out to make a one-meter-and-a-half long stick for self-defense, his eyes looked at the corner where the dog disappeared, and after waiting for a while, he saw that the dog never came back, so he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his face to look at Ouyang Xin, and saw that Yiren's face was pale with fright, and he stayed in place, just like a wooden man.

Li Rui was amused, walked over, patted her arm gently, and said, "It's okay, let me scare away." Ouyang Xin muttered, "I...... I'm afraid...... Fear of dogs. Li Rui said loudly: "Haha, the dog is afraid of me." After saying this, he secretly said in his heart that he was lucky, his grandfather's, I, Li Rui, are also the most afraid of dogs, but in front of the beauty, how can I say frustrating words? What's more, that big dog was scared away by himself, of course, he has to brag about his performance. Ouyang Xin's mind calmed down for a moment, glanced at him gratefully, and smiled awkwardly: "Thanks to you." Li Rui bragged: "Do you still need to be polite to me? Let me tell you, as long as you follow me, along the way, the dog will block and kill the dog, and the Buddha will block and kill the Buddha, and we will be invincible." ”

Ouyang Xin laughed when he heard this, looked at the direction of the dog's escape worriedly, and said, "I just hope it doesn't come again." Li Rui said: "I just asked you to go back to the car first, why don't you run?" Ouyang Xin said ashamedly: "I...... I was terrified, how could I know how to run. Besides, I've heard that you can't run when you meet a dog, and the more you run, the more it chases. Li Rui nodded and said, "That's the case, beating a dog depends on the might, and if you bark louder than it, it will be afraid." As he spoke, he took out the car keys and handed them over, saying, "You take the car keys, and if there is any danger later, you can run back to the car first." Ouyang Xin looked at him in astonishment, his red lips opened slightly, but he didn't speak. Li Ruijing put the key in the pocket of her sportswear and said, "Take it, don't worry about me." Ouyang Xin looked at him with emotion.

Li Rui laughed and said, "Actually, this dog is also quite interesting, so big, but so small." Well, as if it was here to welcome us, it staged a foreplay for our mountaineering trip. Let's go, go up the hill. Ouyang Xin's face turned red all of a sudden, raised his hand to hit him, and said angrily: "Foreplay, what nonsense?" Li Rui was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had used the wrong word, and said with a smile: "I mean, our mountaineering and spring are big dramas this time, so the little episode staged in front of us is the first ...... It's not the kind of situation you think, it's your own thinking that is too dirty. Ouyang Xin glared at him with a red face. Li Rui smiled and said, "This is called the speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, don't blame me, let's go." After saying that, he patted her arm and went first.

Ouyang Xin glared at him with disgust, and muttered something in a low voice, but his little face turned even redder.

At the foot of the mountain, there is actually no need for Ouyang Xin to lead the way, because the ready-made mountain road is right in front of you - a narrow and winding road up the mountain that is obviously walked out by people, extending all the way to the top of the mountain, and following this mountain road to the end, you will climb to the top of the mountain. If this mountain road is suddenly interrupted after reaching the mountainside, then you can still find a path that can be climbed according to the slope and terrain, and you don't need Ouyang Xin to lead the way.

Li Rui walked forward, did not forget to turn around and greeted Ouyang Xin again, and wiped the cold sweat that had just appeared on his forehead. Iren let out a sigh and hurried to follow.

The two walked to the back of the house where the dog had fled, that is, between the row of courtyards and the foot of the mountain, Li Rui glanced inside, and saw that it was dilapidated, full of leaves and dead branches, and it was spread along the foot of the mountain far away, and he couldn't see his head at a glance, and he didn't know where the dog was hiding, and he didn't bother to look for it, just concentrating on climbing the mountain.

The two of them walked up the narrow mountain road before and after, and it was easy to walk dozens of steps in front, and the rough stone steps opened up artificially under their feet were gentle, and the angle was not high. However, when you climb to a quarter of the mountain, the slope rises sharply, and the road is no longer a relatively smooth stone step, but a mountain stone road scattered with large and small stones, and the surface is hard and slippery. Fortunately, the leather shoes Li Rui is wearing today are of a casual nature, the soles are flexible and non-slip, and it is not difficult to walk this kind of mountain road, while Ouyang Xin is wearing sneakers, so naturally there is no problem, but even so, because of the slope and the hard and slippery ground, it is still a little difficult for the two to climb up.

Li Rui crawled for a while, stopped, and turned to look at Ouyang Xin. Ouyang Xin was already a little struggling, her upper body was pressed forward as much as possible, her body was slightly bent, and her arms were spread out to keep her body balanced, so that although she could ensure that her body was in a walking state with a low center of gravity and would not fall, it could not make her climb a little easier.

Li Rui coughed, causing Ouyang Xin to look up and say to her, "Ouyang, give me your hand, I'll pull you to climb." Ouyang Xinwan smiled and said, "No, I can still climb by myself." Li Rui feigned anger and said: "Why don't you want me to hold your hand? You're not so old and feudal, right?" Ouyang Xin smiled: "I'm willing to let you carry it on your back, how can I not want you to hold my hand?" I think I still have the strength to climb up, so I use my own strength first, and when I can't climb anymore, and then let you take care of it, which can be regarded as saving you effort first." Li Rui turned his anger into joy and said, "Okay, then continue, and talk when you can't crawl anymore." ”

The two continued to climb, and as the mountain under their feet became higher and higher, the mountain path became narrower and narrower, and by the end, there was no decent mountain road in front of them, and the climber could only choose a direction to climb.

After Li Rui waited for Ouyang Xin to come to his side, he picked a slope that looked like fish scales and climbed up. This kind of fish scales, in fact, is a variety of pits formed on the slope, some are drenched by the rain, some are formed by the corruption of the rocks, and some are dug out by rats, ants, insects and beasts, the existence of these pits is convenient for footholding, but also conducive to climbing, as long as the center of gravity of the body is kept in front, it will never slip.

The two climbed up more than ten meters, and Li Ruier heard the beauty behind her panting, so he stopped and asked her, "Do you want to rest for a while?" Ouyang Xin was already sweating on his forehead, but he shook his head and said, "No, let's climb for a while." Li Rui asked strangely: "Why don't we have any wild vegetables on this hillside?" Ouyang Xin explained: "Most of the wild vegetables are ferns, fungi and sprouts, and they mostly grow in the shade. Our hillside is facing the sun, and the wild vegetables are naturally not visible. Li Rui asked again: "Then what about the wild vegetables that we saw all over the mountains in the car before?" Ouyang Xin said: "I will see it when I climb to the top of this hillside." In fact, they grow on a shady hillside above, but the relationship between the mountain and the angle seems to be facing the east and the sun, but in fact it is facing the north. Li Rui said: "Okay, then climb for a while." When you are tired, tell me, let's rest and rest. ”

The two climbed again, and just a few steps after climbing out, Ouyang Xin suddenly let out a soft shout. Li Rui looked back and saw that her right leg was still arched on the slope, but her body had already pounced on the slope, and it seemed that her left leg had slipped off, causing the whole person to fall to the ground. Li Rui looked at her in pain, and his heart was also very distressed, so he hurriedly turned around and walked down a few steps, stood firmly on her side, and helped her up from the slope. Just helped her up, but saw her raise her left hand and put her palm in front of her eyes to look. Li Rui was slightly puzzled, and leaned over to look, but saw a ground thorn the size of a soybean grain in her palm, and the wound was already bleeding, red, shocking.
