【006】Neon Fruit
"Brother Xueyou, are we almost where you said?"
Meng Hanyan smelled the sweet smell, and her already hungry stomach made a "grunt" sound again.
A wisp of cherry blossom pink also floated on her beautiful little face, and she was a little embarrassed.
I don't know how long I've been hungry and haven't eaten!
The small belly is like playing a drum, which really makes her feel a little embarrassed.
"It's just here! Eating is coming soon! ”
When Xue You heard that she was hungry like this, she knew that she was hungry.
He quickened his pace, brushed aside the large green leaves, and suddenly opened up in front of him.
A fruit tree that appeared in front of them, which looked very large, grew on the edge of the cliff.
Seven jewel-like fruits, set in the middle of emerald leaves, the skin of which turned out to be a beautiful rainbow color.
The rich aroma emanates from this fruit tree in the wind.
A fruit tree on the side of the cliff stands in the wind for thousands of years, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, bathing in the wind and rain.
"What a beautiful fruit! What's its name? ”
Meng Hanyan looked up at the beautiful fruits at the end of the tree and asked curiously.
"This fruit is called neon fruit, according to the book, neon fruit blooms for 500 years, bears fruit in 500 years, we can meet the time when it is ripe, it can be said that it is a thousand years of fate."
Xue You opened his mouth and said, this kind of neon fruit is a strange fruit born in the deep mountains and Daze, and if you want to taste its taste, you don't know how many days and nights you have to wait.
"I'll take it off for you!"
He carried the medicine basket on his back, and wore a very fine silver ring on his wrist, and when he turned the silver ring, a thin silk thread flew out, and a mechanism at the tip of the silk thread buckled the branches.
He pulled the thread very steadily, and then he moved the silver ring again, and the thread began to shorten, which would make his body rise.
This big tree is tens of meters high, and if you want to climb it, you don't know how long you have to wait.
"Brother Xueyou, I'm going too!"
When Meng Hanyan saw that Xue You was about to go up, she hurriedly jumped up and hugged his waist, so that he almost fell directly without being scared.
"Just wait for me down there! It's too dangerous up there! ”
Xue You was afraid that she would fall, so she hurriedly hugged her with one hand, her small body was close to him, and her slender arms went around his waist, making his heartbeat suddenly speed up a little.
There seemed to be a fawn crashing around in his heart, and the sound of his heartbeat was like a drum, and it was the first time he had grown so big.
He felt as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world, and he didn't dare to let go, for fear that she would disappear.
"I want to pick my own fruit!"
Meng Hanyan was held in his arms, she could smell the clean breath on his body, and his whole person was like a warm sun, with a thousand rays of light, which made her feel full of warmth.
"Then you have to hold on, don't let go!"
Xue You listened to her childish words, and let her follow.
"Uh-huh."
Meng Hanyan nodded, her little head leaning sideways in front of his chest, watching them get taller and taller, and her long skirt was blown up by the mountain wind.
"I'm going up! Be careful! ”
They arrived at the location of the branch, Xue Yu said softly.
"Then I'll climb up first!"
Meng Hanyan was not afraid of heights, let go of the hand holding Xue You, and grabbed the branch above.
Xue You felt her suddenly let go, and her heartbeat stopped for a moment, but fortunately he held her so that she wouldn't fall directly.
Her soft and delicate body rubbed all the way up from his body, making him feel particularly tormented.
Finally, his palm held her slender foot and sent her to the branch.
He saw that she was not wearing shoes, there was a little scar on her jade foot, and a trace of unspeakable distress appeared in her eyes.
She really doesn't know how to take care of herself at all!
"Brother Xueyou, I'll pull you up!"
Meng Hanyan lowered her head, her long hair like a waterfall hung down, shining in the shade of the sun, like a butterfly's wings fluttering gently.
She smiled sweetly and reached out to Xue You. The pink cherry blossom dress fluttered fiercely in the wind.
"No!"
Xue You put away the silk thread, grabbed the branch with one hand, jumped suddenly, and stood firmly on the big branch, and the medicine basket on her back was not overturned.
That sassy and heroic posture was extremely vigorous, which made Meng Hanyan's eyes light up.
"That's amazing!"
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm used to crawling."
Xue You's heart was as sweet as honey when she heard her praise.
"I'll go up and pick the fruit, and the bottom one will be left for you, remember to hold on to the branch next to you when you pick it, don't fall down."
He reached out and grabbed the branch above, climbed to a high place, and reached out to pluck the neon fruit.
There is also a neon fruit not far from Meng Hanyan's side, which can be picked off as long as she stands on tiptoe.
The colorful streamer fruit hangs down like beautiful colored beads.
Meng Hanyan picked a fruit, and her face swelled with joy.
Xue Yu plucked a few fruits and put them in the medicine basket.
He had just finished picking a few fruits and was about to join Meng Hanyan when he saw behind her, a huge python was opening its bloody mouth towards her.
His complexion changed suddenly, and he didn't have time to think too much, so he hurriedly took out a small hoe for digging medicine, and threw it into the python's open mouth to prevent it from hurting Meng Hanyan.
He fixed the silk thread of the silver ring to the sturdy branch, and jumped to Meng Hanyan's side with quick movements, pulling her to jump directly down.
"Let's go!"
Before Meng Hanyan could react to what was happening, she heard a loud roar.
"Roar!"
As they jumped down, the enraged python also rushed down, roaring angrily with a fishy wind.
This is an old python that has been staying here for countless years, just to wait for the neon fruit to ripen, but I didn't expect to be taken by these two little things.
Meng Hanyan saw that the huge python, as thick as a bucket, was covered in cyan scales, and looked extremely hideous.
"Run!"
The moment they landed, Xue You broke the silk thread, picked up Meng Hanyan horizontally, and ran wildly.
A loving princess hugged her and held her firmly in her arms.
Although he knew that running with her like this would slow him down, he couldn't bear to let her run barefoot in the woods, because he hadn't noticed that she was wearing no shoes, so he had walked with her for so long.
He runs very fast, and he deliberately chooses places with dense woods to run, so that the python cannot pass smoothly.
Trees were knocked down and roared.
"There's a cave over there!"
Meng Hanyan saw that there were beads of sweat on his forehead, but she didn't leave her and run for her life, and her heart was full of emotion and warmth.
Xue Yu carried her into the cave and immediately covered the entrance with vines outside.
"Eat the neon fruit, it's chasing after the fruit!"
He took the neon fruit out of the medicine basket, rinsed it with water from the kettle, and placed it on top of a large leaf.
"I can't bite it! Where is this fruit? It's just a small rock! ”
Meng Hanyan picked up a neon fruit and took a bite, but the skin was as hard as a stone, and she couldn't bite it at all.
Seeing her bitter little face, Xue You showed a gentle smile.
