Chapter 19: The Old Fox
The war with the diamonds is over, and now Mario has to clean up the battlefield alone, and he has to find hope not only for himself, but also for Xiao An to continue to live.
The rations brought by the two were very limited, and although they had escaped the diamond barrier, who knew what traps would be there for a while? Even if the road is smooth after that, neither of them is familiar with this place, and with that little bit of exploration, I don't know how long it will take to return to the Diamond House.
Another important point is that the two of them came out in a spaceship, and it took a long time just to be on the spaceship, so what if they walked back? Don't think about it, you'll have to starve to death on the road sooner or later.
Therefore, with these points in mind, Mario especially hopes that God will be gracious and let them find some treasures that are allowed to live and save lives on this battlefield.
But he also knows that this is a very single planet, and no one has come here to develop it, there are no various resources stored in Antarctica, there is no unique earth, and there is no abundant sea honey on the honeymoon seaside.
Alas, what other surprises await me in this barren land? Even if I have the heart to pluck the goose, I guess I won't have anywhere to show it.
Mario thought frustratedly, but he didn't want to give up, but he was really tired, and his legs and feet were inconvenient, if only Xiao An could come with him to find it, maybe the two of them could have more ideas together. But even if she can be by her side now, her eyes can't see it, if she insists on it a little longer, will she be able to accompany her to the diamond formation?
This girl, why is she still thinking about paying off her debts, is my condition so bad? Can't you let her follow me with peace of mind? How good is the earth that makes her want to go back every day?
Mario thought sadly, but after a while, he understood Xiao An's psychology again: this is not surprising, she has never experienced any family since she was a child, of course, her heart and mind are her parents and friends. It's the same for himself, how can he be willing to leave his mother at home alone and go out at will?
Although the transportation of the South Pole Star is convenient, all these years, considering the loneliness of the mother. He has never chosen to study abroad, and I don't know if because of this, what he has learned is not as extensive as others, and his choice of career or something is very limited. But he still doesn't regret it. I feel that if I want to develop myself, I can actually do it at any time, but there is only one mother, and my father has not been around for so many years, if I leave my mother. Then she's so lonely.
Parents are here, not far away. This time, if it weren't for the sake of reuniting his parents as soon as possible, he wouldn't want to leave his mother's house. Fortunately, his mother's friends are not few, and before leaving, he and Xiao An also specially prepared a lot of small animals and robot playmates for their mother.
It's just that I thought I would be able to return to Antarctica. I didn't think about it, I lived in the diamond house for a while, and because I lost contact with everyone, I wasted a few days here, and I think about it, my mother must be very worried about the two of them.
Alas, how could I be so stupid? can get lost on his father's private planet, and he makes himself so embarrassed that he has lost contact with his parents, not to mention, and Xiao An has lost his sight because of this.
A sad heart. And he began to cry.
Where he is, he should be some distance away from Xiao An. He looked back at her, still lying in place, eighty percent tired and asleep. OK. For the time being, there is no other danger to approach the two of them, and Xiao An should not be able to hear his own cry, he can unscrupulously reveal his vulnerability.
We're not really going to be buried here.
He thought scared and sad.
But why didn't Dad send someone to find us? The spaceship has lost contact with us, isn't he in a hurry? Alas, I knew earlier. Shouldn't I have come here to look for him, maybe I'm still enjoying my mother at Antarctica.
Mario is conflicted, because his ability and self-confidence have been greatly damaged on this planet full of diamonds. But he was also very unwilling, since my father survived under worse conditions than this, then why didn't I have this strength? What's more, I still have Xiao An by my side! No, I can't afford to lose to my father! At the very least, he must not be embarrassed, or he will lose the meaning of wandering alone.
Didn't you bring it up yourself? And no one pushes themselves. If you want to be comfortable, you just need to continue to enjoy the blessings at the beginning, why bother swearing with a cow swearing in my heart, I can do it.
Thinking of this, he wiped the tears from his face and threw some to the ground. Unexpectedly, as soon as those tears touched the ground, a piece of ground was "melted".
Hey? How does this work?
He was drawn over.
The man doesn't flick when he has tears, not to mention that he didn't have many tears just now, how could such a situation occur?
He squatted there and studied it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what was going on.
Is it the effect of your own tears, or does it happen to change with something on the surface? But I don't have any tears at this time, and I can't bother Xiao An, even if I call her over, it is estimated that it may be blood tears, and her blood and tears, I don't know if it will contribute to this effect.
I didn't want to be a scientist, I just wanted to find food, medicine, and water that would allow me and Xiao An to live first.
His requirements are not high, but on this planet where there is almost no grass, it is particularly extravagant.
Just when he was about to go back, he suddenly tripped over something on the soles of his feet, and when he looked down, he saw that the "melted" ground just now had revealed the water source after he stepped on it.
Oh my God, I'm not dreaming!
Mario was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out the utensils in his backpack and beat some of them, and tested them with testing tools, which were safe and non-toxic. So, after beating it, he hurriedly ran to serve it to Xiao An.
"Xiao An! Wake up, there's clean water here, wash your eyes with this water first! ”
What the? Water?
Xiao An gradually woke up, but he couldn't believe what he heard, how could it be? Is there a water source in this place?
She got up and, with Mario's help, washed her eyes with the water.
Although the water wasn't too cool because of its proximity to the star's surface, she was glad that she had finally found an additional source of water anyway.
"What do you think? Is it still so stinging? ”
"Hmm. Much better! ”
Although Xiao An's eyes still can't see anything, although he is not sure if she is comforting himself, but, at least. Her eyes were clear now, and there was no more blood and tears coming out of her.
"Let's go, you're injured, but it's about the same as mine," Mario said. It's not to hide Xiao An's hard work, but to cheer her up, hoping that she can get up and walk with her to the water source supply before, "I'll accompany you, let's go to the place where there is water just now, okay?" ”
Of course, Xiao An agreed with a smile, she really had a feeling of the rest of her life.
The problem of water source is solved, and the next two have to think about more problems.
"So, no one will come after us for a while?" Xiao An asked.
Hearing her say this, Mario didn't rush to answer. Chase? Was she questioning the safety of my father's territory? But. He knew that he was wrong, but he didn't defend anything, but he was also thinking, if it was really a chase, then who was it?
"Xiao An, if my father's subordinates have bad intentions, which of them do you think will be more suspicious?" The two rested at the water's edge, and Mario asked her.
"Well, I don't think the guy who came with us is the most suspicious! As a result, you still blame me for thinking too much. ”
Xiao An couldn't see his expression, so there was no need to be taboo. But even if it's the same as before, I still have something to say. But considering his mood, she immediately said in a gentle tone,
"Actually. Before we came out, I felt that something was wrong with that person, and he didn't seem to be friendly to you, and he didn't seem to want you to stay from the bottom of his heart. It's just that he didn't have much to do with him at that time, and besides, he was your father's subordinate. I wasn't qualified to look at people too much, so I didn't care. The main thing is to think, what else can he do? Your father has treated them well enough, what kind of bike does he want! However, after we came out on the spaceship with him, we encountered a series of abnormal things, and it was difficult for me not to associate them all with him. Think about it, how can so many coincidences happen to one person? ”
"Ah, so you already knew it, so why didn't you tell me? Actually, it's not that I didn't doubt him, but because there is no evidence, it's not easy to make reckless conclusions. However, these incidents are really caused by him, and I, Mario, will never let him go! ”
Probably since he was a child, he has not been insulted like this, and it is naturally more difficult for him to accept it as a person who has not experienced wars and ups and downs. Therefore, Mario was so annoyed for the first time in his life when he remembered what the man had caused to the two of them.
"Humph! Don't let me catch him, if I find out, I'll give it to my dad and see what he does with this person!" He said hatefully.
"Big brother, the question is, can you find your daddy now? Haven't you seen that all effective contact between us and my father-in-law has been cut off? Xiao An felt that Mario was really mad, so his brain was not clear.
"Yes, then, you say, what are we going to do? Then go back and find the spaceship first? ”
Mario is so interesting, perhaps, he may really be tired, he has not rested since the end of the "war" until now.
"Let's rest for a while, haven't you already found a water source anyway? That's a great achievement! Those who are worried will think about it later, even if we want to find this and that, we will have to wait until we are healed and find some food and other supplies. ”
Seeing Xiao An say this to him, Mario was suddenly embarrassed again. yes, how can you be so anxious? Now the injuries of the two have not healed, especially Xiao An's eyes can't see anything, so he can't act rashly, so he has to wait for the two of them to recover before thinking about anything else.
"Okay, then I'll see if there are any other supplies here, you continue to rest here, I'm near here, and I won't be too far away from you!" Mario told her.
"Hmm!" Xiao An replied, she knew that his legs and feet were inconvenient now, so he would not go too far. She only hoped that the person who had been trying to persecute them had better not be spying on the two, otherwise, no matter how hard the two of them tried and how many levels they passed, they would still be secretly killed by him. Thinking of this, she asked again uneasily, "Mario! Look around for any places to hide, first, it's too hot, and second, it's to avoid the man's re-tracking! ”
A girl is a girl, and although there are some limitations in some of their knowledge, some of the things they notice are not necessarily useless. Mario quickly followed her advice and immediately began to look for a suitable place for the two to hide while searching for supplies.
Not bad, he found a cave very quickly.
"Xiao An! Guess what I found? There's a cave over there! Although the target is a bit big, he probably won't think of us escaping there easily! ”
Escape?
Hehe, I think Mario should also say it in passing, if he comes back to his senses for a while, he will definitely smile bitterly: he is a well-deserved young master here, and he has not offended anyone, and he has not done anything wrong, so what reason is there to escape?
But in order to prevent him from immediately noticing these embarrassments, Xiao An hurriedly responded, "Oh, that's great, you can take me there now, and bring enough water, I think if possible, we will live there for a while!" ”
Alas, it seems that this can only be the case now, Mario never thought that he just wanted to see how his father, whom he had not seen for many years, could give birth to so many branches.
This is to provoke whom.
Thinking like this, the two of them had already walked to the entrance of the cave.
Huh?
"Wait, Ann! We can't go in yet! ”
"What's wrong? What do you see? Xiao An is not very used to the dark world, so he can only hold Mario tightly, not daring to fall a step.
"There's a lot of supplies here!" He said, "I don't know if it's my father's backup, or if it's a granary that some people have secretly hidden themselves!" ”
Now, he has an extra heart, maybe he was really miserable by that person, and he feels very wronged: If you want to say that you don't welcome me, you can just say it, why do you want to kill them all? If you are so scheming, why don't you see that I don't expect my father's property to live?
Mario is full of resentment towards that man, and now he wants to grab him, but he is afraid that he is not his opponent.
If he can always serve his father by his side, it means that he has two sons. Moreover, other people's majors are much more mastered than their own, even if they join forces with Xiao An, it is estimated that it will be difficult to deal with him.
And even if he can get in touch with his father now, just by relying on that old fox, he may coax his father in a few words, and then his situation may be even more embarrassing.
"Uh, you mean, that person might have been around all the time?" Xiao An also became more and more vigilant, she didn't want the suffering she had just escaped to come back.
"Yes, so let's be careful, lest we be plotted by that old fox!" He said categorically.
"Then, this hole, should we enter or not?" Xiao An is very greedy for the supplies inside, after all, under such conditions, no one has come to treat the two of them, and if there is no food, it will be difficult to survive for a few days.
Mario also knew that Xiao An had suffered with him, so he took her hand and put it on his heart, "I'm sorry to let you suffer this kind of crime with me, I really deserve to die!" But I can't die now, and if I die, then there will be no one to accompany you! What's more, you have already sacrificed yourself to save my life in the diamond array, and you and I don't owe each other, so I don't have any sense of superiority! So, now if I don't protect you, who will protect you? ”
He told Xiao An that even if he died, he would break into this cave. After all, the two of them can't go hungry and must eat something before they can gradually recover their strength and the wounds can heal faster.
However, is this cave safe after all? The hearts of the two of them are also going up and down. (To be continued.) )
