Chapter 10: Wild Boars
"Mengyi, do you really want to go to the outside world with me?" Xi Zimo cautiously asked Yue Mengyi, who was following him.
It turned out that after they got to know each other, they learned that Yue Mengyi had been living with her grandfather in this closed bamboo forest, this bamboo forest was very large, so big that Yue Mengyi had never walked out of the bamboo forest since she was a child, and just a few days before she rescued Xi Zimo, her grandfather died of a serious illness, so she wanted to follow Xi Zimo to the outside world to see and understand, and she didn't want to continue to stay in this sad place, otherwise, every time she saw the bamboo house next to her, she would think of her grandfather.
In the past few days that they have lived together in this bamboo forest, Xi Zimo told Yue Mengyi a lot of things outside, because Xi Zimo didn't do anything that shouldn't be done, so Yue Mengyi believed very much that Xi Zimo, the second person she saw besides her grandfather, that is, the man her grandfather said, 'Xi Zimo'. That's why she made up her mind to leave here.
"Yes, I've decided, I want to go to the outside world to see, and that's what my grandfather expects from me." Yue Mengyi showed a determined look, looked at the sky and replied slowly to Xi Zimo, who was asking her next to her.
"Alright then, don't worry, I'll teach you how to live outside, I'll protect you until you want to leave me, and I won't let you go hungry." Xi Zimo said to Yue Mengyi, who had already made up his mind to follow him out, although all his assets were less than 2,000 yuan in addition to a fixed house, but Xi Zimo still made a firm commitment to Yue Mengyi.
The two had been walking in the bamboo forest for two days, but they still didn't see the way out, Xi Zimo couldn't help but ask: "Mengyi, are you sure that your grandfather is talking about going all the way to the east?" ”
"Yes, everything grandpa said to me, I remember it clearly in my heart, and it will never be wrong." Yue Mengyi said affirmatively to Xi Zimo, but as she spoke, she remembered what her grandfather said in her ear on the night of her grandfather's death, "Mengyi, my day has come, I can't live with you in the future, after grandpa leaves, you must leave this bamboo forest, but remember grandpa's words, don't believe the people outside, especially men, you can go out along the direction of the sun on the way out, Mengyi, remember grandpa's words." After that, he swallowed his breath.
Xi Zimo saw Yue Mengyi's loss, and realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and said to Yue Mengyi, who was gloomy on the side: "Mengyi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, but you have to believe that your grandfather is watching you from the sky, as long as you live happily, his old man will definitely be very happy." After Xi Zimo finished speaking, he gently patted Yue Mengyi, who was already crying.
"It's okay, Zimo, I also believe that grandpa will watch me from the sky, so I will live happily." Yue Mengyi looked up at the stars in the sky quietly, and after a while, Yue Mengyi came back to his senses, wiped his tears and whispered to Xi Zimo who was accompanying him next to him: "Zimo, I'm fine, let's go!" With that, he walked towards the front.
"Hey, wait, Mengyi, it's already dark, let's rest here for one night and walk, there are a lot of dry bamboo tubes here, enough for us to warm up all night." Xi Zimo hurriedly grabbed Yue Mengyi, who was still walking forward, and said.
Yue Mengyi saw Xi Zimo holding her hand, her face turned red at that time, and she just said softly; "Oh".
Xi Zimo and Yue Mengyi sat quietly around a fire burning in a dry bamboo tube, roasting the fire, and eating the dry food brought from the bamboo house.
In the end, Yue Mengyi fell asleep in such a harmonious atmosphere, but Xi Zimo did not fall asleep, because he didn't know if Bai Yuning would be worried in the past few days of his disappearance
Just when Xi Zimo was about to fall asleep in a daze, the sound of 'rustle ~ rustle' suddenly appeared, and the alert Xi Zimo immediately woke up, stood up, and listened closely to the place where the sound came from next to Zhou Zhiyue Mengyi, "rustle~rustle~rustle." The voice was getting closer and closer, Xi Zimo stared intently in the direction of the sound, and a system prompt came from his ears.
"Side Quest: Defeat the Boar
Description: Wild boar is your lucky star, but it can also be your nightmare, and the outcome is all up to your own judgment.
Completion Reward: Pork Jerky*1 EXP*250.
Acceptable. ”
Xi Zimo accepted it silently in his heart.
The owner who made the voice finally appeared in front of Xi Zimo, as the task description, it was a wild boar, Xi Zimo saw it, and immediately condensed in his heart, this wild boar was very large, and immediately gently woke up Yue Mengyi, "Mengyi, Mengyi." ”
"What's wrong, Zimo?" Yue Mengyi rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked.
"Well, there's a wild boar in front, be careful, wait a minute, you can run directly to the east, and I'll help you stop him." Xi Zimo's eyes were fixed on the wild boar, and he whispered to Yue Mengyi next to him.
"No, how can I run by myself, let's run together!" Yue Mengyi, hearing Xi Zimo's words, the drowsiness disappeared immediately, and said to Xi Zimo.
"You go first, you can't help me if you stay here, you go first, I can have no worries." Xi Zimo said to Yue Mengyi with a calm face.
Hearing Xi Zimo say this, Yue Mengyi couldn't stay as a burden, so she had to say. "Okay, I'll wait for you in front, you have to be careful."
"Well, you go, I'll be careful, remember to walk slowly, out of the sight of the boar and run." Xi Zimo said to Yue Mengyi in the end.
Yue Mengyi left quietly, and the wild boar was already ready to move, but Xi Zimo's heart did not relax much.
