Chapter 7: Blood
The strong smell of blood filled the air, causing Qianzhao's brows to furrow tightly.
Now the ground in front of them was no longer a dense and boundless tree, but an overgrown clearing.
There were a few improvised tents and a few bright and dark bonfires set up in the clearing, and under the orange and yellow light of the bonfire, seven or eight corpses were lying near the tents and bonfires, and blood was splattered everywhere!
Pulling the octopus-like Zhuang Li off his body, Qian Zhao slowly walked towards the corpse.
But before he could take two steps, his wrist was pulled so hard: "There's a dead man over there!" What are you going to do?"
Zhuang Li had fear in his eyes and dragged the person in front of him fiercely, hoping that he would not pass.
Qian Zhao looked at her like this, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and he chuckled: "It's okay, I'll go over and see for myself, you just wait here." β
After saying that, he took her hand and walked towards the tents step by step.
The somewhat dark sky printed that this place looked particularly terrifying and gloomy, Zhuang Li didn't dare to stay here alone, so he had to grit his teeth and follow him quickly.
Qian Zhao looked at these people with a cold eye: all the dead were men, wearing ancient linen-colored short robes, and their hair was tied high on their heads, obviously looking like an ancient.
"They must have been killed with a sword-like weapon, and they haven't been dead for long."
After observing the dead people on the ground, and rummaging through them, Qian Zhao's tone was firm and he came to a conclusion.
After saying that, he didn't forget to get up and walk to the tent, ready to go inside the tent to see what was there.
Zhuang Li stood aside and quietly looked at his calm and calm appearance, and couldn't help but have more doubts in his heart.
He...... Who is it?
οΌ
"Chiaki, you...... You know what's weird, you look like you're just a student about my age, but ...... I can feel that you are not easy in many things."
After hesitating for a long time, she couldn't help but ask: "Are you...... Can you tell me who you are? β
Because it was facing away, Zhuang Li didn't see that after she said these words, Qian Zhao's body probed into the tent and was slightly stunned, and her clear eyes were unconsciously overflowing with sadness and loneliness.
But in just a moment, the look in his eyes was immediately faded by him, making people feel as if they had never existed at all, and the beautiful thin lips lightly hooked a shallow amplitude: "You think too much, I am indeed just an ordinary student as you see." β
After saying it indifferently, he leaned into the open hood.
Hearing his answer, Zhuang Li knew that he didn't mean to confess to himself.
Although she was a little disappointed that she didn't get the answer she wanted, but, everyone has everyone's **, she knows this, anyway, now she is in a different place, and only he is left with him, what did he do in the past, what kind of person is he, as long as it is harmless to herself, why should she go to the bottom of others, she can't help but feel a lot more relaxed.
Smacking her lips, she folded her arms and ran leisurely to the edge of the tent.
"Did you find anything?"
Looking at Qian Zhao who was tossing and turning in the tent, Zhuang Li was very curious.
"There is ......"
Stopping the movement in his hand, Qianzhao's expression was a little stern: "If you find something, you'd better be mentally prepared." β
"Huh?! What's the matter?"
Zhuang Li straightened his body and his expression turned positive.
"We ...... There may not be a going back for a while. β
Chiaki hesitated, but finally said it.
But Zhuang Li jumped to his feet in an instant after listening to his words: "What! Can't go back? Why! β
"I looked at the contents of the tent and thought about what had happened from last night to today, and I thought...... The reason why we fell into the sea and didn't die may be ...... It's that we're out of the modern age."
"Ah?!!! You meanγγγγ"
"Well, maybe it's crossed"
ββ¦β¦β
Someone petrified in ...... "However, this is just my guess. I had just found some food, clothing, and something of copper and silver that resembled ancient coins and the like, and if you weren't afraid of the dead, we could use them. After all, it's a strange place, and we can't guarantee that people will be the same as us when we get to a place where people live! If we had come to ancient times as we thought, we would have been seen as an anomaly in our own clothes. β
Qian Zhao took out a bunch of things from the tent and turned to look at Zhuang Li to ask for her opinion.
Looking at these things in front of her, Zhuang Li's brows were tightly locked, even though she was extremely reluctant to accept it in her heart, but Qian Zhao's words were indeed very reasonable.
After thinking about it for a long time, she still nodded and took the thing from his hand with a bitter face.
Chiaki turned over several other tents one after another, almost all of them being the same thing.
After selecting some of the things he found with Zhuang Li, he lit the torches he had just found and took her out of the pile of dead people.
After walking for several more miles, they finally moved away from the place that smelled of blood and came to a small river.
"Let's rest here, it looks like we won't be able to find a place to stay tonight."
Qian Zhao put down the things in his hand gently, stood up and looked around the river, holding a torch to find firewood nearby to make a fire!
Zhuang Li threw the things in his hand to the side, sat down on the ground with a heavy butt, and his eyes were stunned: "Is labor really abandoned by the world!" β
With a big sigh, she slowly pressed her fingers against her temples.
When Qian Zhao walked back with a bunch of wooden branches, Zhuang Li had fallen asleep on a big stone by the river, stretched out his foot and kicked them without reacting, Qian Zhao looked at her peaceful sleeping face, her movements were slightly stunned, and her expression was a little unnatural: Shouldn't ordinary girls be nervous and can't sleep in this situation!
What's more, he, a person he hasn't known for a day, is still around, and she actually ββ...... Is it because she trusts him too much, or because she is too defensive?
A little smiling, he sighed slightly and shook his head, and after covering her with a few pieces of clothing he picked up, he sat on the ground and lit the firewood in his hand, and then waited there quietly for the fire to become stronger, and there was the sound of wind, water, and burning firewood in the quiet night, and - it was the sound of Zhuang Li's heavy breathing~ Pulled by this voice, Qianzhao inadvertently turned his eyes to the girl who was asleep.
We've only known each other for a day, but I don't know why...... He always felt that she gave him a feeling that she was not strange.
A warm smile tugged at his lips, and he continued to turn his gaze to the fire in front of him.
