Chapter 7: Lost
Ma Xiaoyao held Gu Li's ass with both hands, and a softness suddenly came from his palm, which made Ma Xiaoyao's heart flutter: "Of course I left here behind you." With that, Ma Xiaoyao strode forward.
"You...... Hurry up and let me down, you can't run fast with me on your back, sooner or later you will be caught up by bandits......" Gu Li was grateful and angry, why is this horse so stubborn.
"As I said, I will never leave you alone! Even if you are caught by the bandits, I will not leave you! Ma said categorically.
"You ......" Gu Li was very moved in her heart, and she couldn't help but drip tears from her eyes anymore.
Ma Xiaoyao felt that the back of his neck was wet, turned his head to look, and found that Gu Li was crying, Ma Xiaoyao suddenly had some doubts: "What are you crying about?" Is it too painful for your feet? Bear with me, I'll take you to the hospital as soon as we get out of trouble! ā
Gu Li stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, and said in a choked voice: "No one has ever been so kind to me......"
Ma Xiaoyao was happy when he heard it: "Don't think about it, I saved you, not because of any attempt on you, but for me...... I'm too soft-hearted to leave you alone, so don't cry, I'm soaking wet by the collar. ā
"I'm sorry." Gu Li snorted and said embarrassedly.
"Huh...... It's okay, as long as you don't cry anymore, it's fine. Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "Can you put your two arms around my neck?" This saves me some effort! ā
Gu Li Yiyan put her hand around Ma Xiaoyao's neck.
"Uh...... "It's so soft!" Ma Xiaoyao suddenly felt two meat balls pressed on his back, soft, not to mention how comfortable.
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Li noticed that there was something wrong with Ma Xiaoyao's expression.
"Huh!? It's okay, I'm just a little tired! Ma Xiaoyao said casually.
"Why don't you put me down and rest for a while?" Gulti yƬ said.
Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "No, the bandits are chasing very tightly behind, and we can't delay time." ā
"But......," Guli wanted to say something.
"Don't worry, I can still hold on!" Ma Xiaoyao's body is really good, carrying a person on his back, he is still walking like a fly in the woods, and he quickly threw the two bandits behind him away.
Seeing that Ma Xiaoyao and Gu Li had escaped, they could make the fat masked man and Da Long angry, but it was useless to regenerate his anger, his sight and movement speed in the woods were greatly restricted, and the fat masked man and Da Long couldn't catch up with Ma Xiaoyao and Gu Li with great effort.
Although they lost the traces of Ma Xiaoyao and Guli, the fat masked man and the big dragon were not discouraged and continued to chase in the woods.
After running for more than an hour, Ma Xiaoyao suddenly found out sadly...... Lost!
In the woods, especially in large areas of woods, the most feared thing is to get lost, and once you get lost, it is difficult to get out of the woods.
"It's over, we're lost!" Ma Xiaoyao smiled bitterly.
"Huh? Lost? Gu Li's face changed, and after thinking about it, he said, "Let's go straight in any direction, and we will definitely be able to get out of the woods!" ā
Ma Yao pouted: "What if we choose the wrong direction and go directly to the depths of the woods?" In this way, we estimate that it will take the year of the monkey to get out of the woods, and besides, we will not be able to last a few days without food and water. ā
"What then?" Gu Li was suddenly a little flustered, and finally got rid of the bandits, who knew that he was lost again, why was his luck so bad.
"Hey......" Ma Xiaoyao sighed: "I don't know what to do...... Let's take a break and think about what to do later! As he spoke, Ma Xiaoyao gently put Gu Li down, to be honest, Ma Xiaoyao really didn't want to put Gu Li down, he also wanted to continue to feel the softness of the two meat balls, but after running for so long, Ma Xiaoyao was really tired, so he could only put Gu Li down to rest first.
With the support of the horse, Guli leaned against a tree trunk.
Ma Xiaoyao sat next to Gu Li, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with a lighter, put it in his mouth and smoked it, Ma Xiaoyao smoked while secretly thinking about how to get out of danger.
"If our phones hadn't been taken away by the bandits, we would have called the police for help now." Guli sighed.
Ma Yao crooked his mouth and thought: Aren't you talking nonsense! If I had a mobile phone, where would I be squatting here and bored, I would have called for help, Ma Xiaoyao was very angry, today I asked for the money lent back, I was very happy, who knew that the money was not hot, it was robbed by the bandits, and then I was caught by the bandits in this desolate woods, I finally escaped from the control of the bandits, but I didn't expect to get lost in the woods, why are I so weak? It seems that after getting out of trouble, I have to find a fortune teller to calculate a good fortune for myself and go to the evil spirit!
After resting for a while, Gu Li couldn't help but ask, "Have you figured out a way to get out of trouble?" ā
Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "No ......" Speaking of this, Ma Xiaoyao looked up at the sky that had darkened: "It is estimated that we will spend the night in the woods today." ā
"Spending the night in the woods?!" When Gu Li heard this, she frowned: "I heard that at night, there will be a lot of poisonous snakes and beasts in the woods......"
"Pretty much, it's night when the beasts are around...... But don't be afraid, as long as we light a fire at night, the beasts will not dare come near us. Ma Xiaoyao comforted: "When I used to go out to travel, I also camped in the woods, nothing!" ā
After listening to Ma Xiaoyao's words, Gu Li's hanging heart slowly let go.
"You wait here for me for a while, and I'll go find some dry wood and food." Ma Xiaoyao flicked off the cigarette butt and patted his ass and stood up.
"You...... You're going to be back soon! I'm here alone and scared......" Gu Li's expression became nervous.
Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "Don't worry, I'll go around the neighborhood, I'll be back soon, if you are in danger, call me loudly, I will come to save you immediately!" With that, Ma Xiaoyao raised his feet and left.
Gu Li clasped her hands on her shoulders and stared nervously around.
There was a sudden sound behind the "rustling ......".
Gu Li's nerves suddenly tensed, and she turned her head in horror...... When he saw that it was the sound of the breeze blowing the dead leaves, Gu Li suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves slowly relaxed, she was really frightened just now, and he thought that the bandits had chased after her.
After about ten minutes, Ma Xiaoyao walked back with a bunch of branches and a few fruits.
"Find a few fruits, you can eat them." Ma Xiaoyao put down the branch and handed a few fruits to Guli.
"You eat it too!" Guli wants to give half of the fruit to Ma Xiaoyao.
"No, I've already eaten it on the way back." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "I'll go make a fire, you eat fruit." With that, Ma Xiaoyao walked to the branch, skillfully set up a fire, and then lit the dry branch with a lighter.
Gu Li frowned: "This fire will not attract the bandits......"
"Probably not, those two bandits don't dare to wander around the woods at night...... What's more, even if there is a danger of being discovered by bandits, we will raise a fire, if there is no fire, we will definitely be attacked by insects and beasts, and at that time, we will be in danger. Ma Yao shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.
After listening to Ma Xiaoyao's words, Gu Li couldn't say anything more.
It was soon getting dark.
The whole forest suddenly turned black, and from time to time there was a wolf howl or two.
Gu Li hugged her shoulders with both hands, her body trembled slightly, and she could see that she was very nervous and scared.
Ma Xiaoyao added branches to the fire and comforted: "Don't be afraid, there is a fire, and those insects and beasts dare not approach." ā
Guli nodded and did not speak.
"By the way, I've known you for so long, and I still don't know your name! Let me introduce myself first, my name is Ma Xiaoyao, and I am an unemployed vagrant! In order to make Gu Li relax, Ma Xiaoyao deliberately provoked a topic to chat.
"Oh, my name is Gu Li, and I'm the deputy mayor of Linhai City." Guli said.
Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "You are so amazing, you actually became the deputy mayor at such a young age, and you are stronger than us big men!" Although Ma Xiaoyao has never been involved in officialdom, he has also heard some rumors in the officialdom, and knows that the situation in the officialdom is very complicated, and it is definitely not simple for Gu Li to become the deputy mayor.
"Young? I'm 30 years old this year, so I'm still young. Gu Li smiled bitterly.
Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "Thirty years old is the best age for women, and it is also the age that attracts men the most. ā
Gu Li smiled: "You can really talk!" ā
After chatting for a while, Gu Li's nervous feelings relaxed a lot, and her heart was no longer so scared.
"Sleep, I'll keep vigil." Ma Xiaoyao said to Gu Li.
"Huh? How does this work? You sleep, I'll keep vigil. Gu Li said hurriedly.
"In this way, we will sleep alone for half a night, you can sleep first, and then you will keep vigil for me in the second half of the night." Ma Xiaoyao said.
Gu Li thought about it, then nodded and agreed: "Okay, don't forget to call me in the middle of the night!" After saying that, Gu Li leaned on the trunk of the tree and began to sleep, and today she was frightened and fell to her feet, which made Gu Li very tired physically and mentally, and fell asleep after a while.
I don't know how long it took, Gu Li slowly opened her eyes, and there was a bright sunshine in her eyes, Gu Li sat up straight, looked around, and found that the sky was already bright.
"Are you awake?" Ma Xiaoyao walked over with a few fruits in his clothes.
"Ma Xiaoyao, why didn't you call me up last night?" Gu Li asked suspiciously.
"Huh...... I see that you sleep very sweetly, so I don't want to disturb you, you must be hungry, come, eat fruit! Ma Xiaoyao handed over the fruit.
"You didn't sleep all night last night?" Gu Li found that Ma Xiaoyao's eyes were bloodshot.
