Chapter Forty-Six: Come, I'll Carry You
"What, are you still thinking about the pendant?"
"Hmm." As night fell, the temperature became colder and colder, and Zhong Caini, who was only wearing a long dress, had to shrink her body into a ball and squeeze into Wu Ming's arms. "This necklace was a birthday present from my mother for my birthday last year. However, I can't recall anyone I ever came into contact with. ”
The two left the location of the off-road vehicle and insisted on walking less than fifteen miles, cold and hungry, and Zhong Caini, who had just been tossed in the car and was sore, said that she couldn't walk anymore. Suffering from the fact that there is no mobile phone signal on the prairie, I can't call for help. So the two of them could only hide in the artemisia grass for a while, and then get up and walk for a while after they couldn't stand the cold at night.
"Naturally, it's the people who are close to you who do it while you're asleep." Zhong Caini, who was listening intently, turned her head and watched Wu Ming wait for him through the faint skylight, but heard Wu Ming say: "For example, the boyfriend who lives together ......." ”
"Nonsense!" Zhong Caini stretched out her hand and pushed Wu Ming hard, and said angrily: "I haven't talked about love, where is my boyfriend?" is still living together, it's really a dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth. ”
"So pure?"
"Go, ignore you."
"Okay, let's just believe it." As he spoke, Wu Ming readjusted his body and pressed his chest tightly against Zhong Caini's back. He also said to Zhong Caini promptly: "You can think more about the purpose of their doing this, maybe you can think of something." ”
"...... purpose?" Zhong Caini pondered for a moment and suddenly turned her head, because the upper bodies of the two were so tightly together that her lips almost touched Wu Ming's chin. Instinctively tilting her head back, Zhong Caini said in a tone full of doubts: "No, their target is you, and I am affected by you, right?" ”
"Do you think it's possible? How could a person like me, who had no quarrel with the world, invite death? ”
"No, I'm the one who really has no quarrel with the world." Immediately, Zhong Caini analyzed slowly: "You see, after graduating from high school, you have been a soldier for two years, and you have never done serious things again. But you have such extraordinary skills in just over a decade...... ”
"How do you know I learned this skill after graduating from high school?"
"Not only do I know, but my classmates know it. When you were in high school, you were honestly like an elm pimple. ”
"You know what, that's called a real person not showing up. To tell you the truth, I came from a martial arts family. Since beating grandpa's grandfather......"
"The devil believes." Zhong Caini interrupted Wu Ming's defense and continued: "Besides, although you look like a gangster, you have never harmed good people, and you have never even taken the initiative to pursue any girl. ”
"It's also worth the fuss? Didn't you just say that you weren't in a relationship? ”
"Can you compare with me? I put all my energy into my studies. And you, either you have a ghost in your heart, or you have a physical problem. ”
"Hehe, why don't we try it now?"
"Get out!" Zhong Caini pushed Wu Ming's chest again and said, "Also, why do you, who only rely on odd jobs to make a living, rent a two-bedroom apartment with a monthly rent of no less than 2,000 in the city center?" ”
"You've inquired very carefully, but have you checked who owns that house?"
"Why, you're not going to tell me that your uncle and aunt lent it to you, are you?"
"It meant to be. It was my father's cousin, my cousin's house. The family is uncertain when they will return after they go abroad, so they don't want to sell it or rent it to outsiders, so they leave it to me to take care of it for the time being. ”
"You don't think the world is less intelligent than you, do you?"
"At least most of them are not as tall as you."
"Come less." Zhong Caini looked at Wu Ming's close, angular face, and always with a faint evil smile, and for a moment she had doubts about her analysis just now. So he shut his mouth and simply stopped talking.
Howl ——, howl——。
Suddenly, one wolf howl after another came clearly from a distance, and Zhong Caini subconsciously squeezed into Wu Ming's arms.
"Don't worry, we're at least twenty miles away."
"Is more than twenty miles a long way for a wolf?"
"Not far. But have you forgotten that there was a ready-made supper next to the car that had been prepared for them a long time ago? ”
It's okay not to say this, as soon as she heard this, Zhong Caini almost retched. He hurriedly stood up and said, "Let's go a little longer." ”
"Okay, let's go later."
After walking less than ten miles again, Zhong Caini couldn't hold on anymore.
Wu Ming is not afraid of the elusive wolves on the grassland. At the same time, he was not sure that only one of those people had been sent today. Therefore, you must always be on guard against being attacked.
As for the identity of the sneak attacker, Wu Ming can basically determine that it should still be the same group. That is, the professional killer he met in Lion Rock, and the gang behind Zeng Cheng. So Zhong Caini's guess is correct, she is just affected by herself.
So, Wu Ming, who was feeling sorry, squatted down and said to Zhong Caini, who couldn't walk, in an almost commanding tone: "Come, I'll carry you." ”
Seeing this, Zhong Caini couldn't help but hesitate for a while. One is that a girl by himself was carried on his back by a young man, which was completely different from the scene just now when he was squeezed into his arms with his back to Wu Ming. The second is that Wu Ming should be tired enough today, and he is a little reluctant to go. However, the howl of the wolves not far behind him did not allow Zhong Caini to think too much, and finally obeyed Wu Ming's wishes.
Suddenly, through the squeezed and deformed plumpness on his chest, he felt the temperature from Wu Ming's body, which made Zhong Caini in the dark blush involuntarily.
was carried by Wu Ming like this, neither of them spoke again, and walked silently for nearly half an hour, Zhong Caini obviously smelled the smell of sweat coming from Wu Ming's neck. So, I couldn't help but say something full of concern and very gentle: "Tired, aren't you? It's better to let me down. ”
"It's a little tiring, but it's enough to have your words."
"You ......."
Zhong Caini, who was already getting more and more shy, heard Wu Ming's words and wanted to bite him. However, just a few words were spoken, and there was no more follow-up.
For a long time, perhaps to break the embarrassment in front of her, Zhong Caini asked without words: "Why are you so much older than us when you were in high school?" ”
"How? He was only three years old. ”
"Three years old is still young? High school is only three years. ”
"Didn't I tell you that I came from a martial arts family. Because he was a child who was dedicated to practicing martial arts, he delayed his time to go to school. ”
"It's a lie again."
"Hey, did you hear that?"
"I'm not stupid."
"I'll tell you the truth, I was frail and sickly when I was a child. Although he also went to school at the age of six, because of his health, he always fished for three days and dried nets for two days, so that when he entered junior high school, he was three years later than his peers. ”
"Are you making excuses for going to elementary school for nine years straight?"
"Whatever you want."
"Giggles, I finally know why you were so honest in high school."
"Why?"
"It turned out to be because of a deep inferiority complex in my heart."
Zhong Cainijiao smiled and just said this, Wu Ming suddenly pulled her off her back.
Just when the two of them fell into the artemisia grass at the same time, Wu Ming ignored Zhong Caini's head, leaned into her ear and said eagerly: "Stay here, don't make a sound, let alone move." ”
