Chapter 122: Temporary Straw
People are the most helpless when they are sick or injured, and if there is a life-saving straw to grasp, they will definitely hold on and not let go.
Ryan temporarily acted as the straw.
He was pulled by Xu Nianran and couldn't leave the tent.
Ryan tried to break Xu Nianran's fingers, but as soon as the hands of the two touched, Xu Nianran clenched his fingers tightly and didn't let go.
You can't take off your coat and pinch her and go to vigil in a vest, right? Ryan admits he's not that resistant to the environment.
So he could only open the door of the tent as wide as possible to make his vision wider, and he lay down next to Xu Nianran, with his back to her, facing the door.
Comfort and warmth will always lower people's defense, Ryan helplessly felt the temperature of Xu Nianran behind her, she simply regarded herself as Chen Youfei, the whole person was attached to her back, and she held her waist with one hand.
Boredom, Ryan began to play with the fine sand at the door of the tent.
There is a layer of gravel on the surface of the sand, and the higher you go, the less gravel there is, and the ground is dominated by the fine sand of the desert, and it seems that there is indeed a place similar to a plateau desert.
When Xu Nianran arrived, he wanted to press some start buttons, and the wind here, the sand and gravel here, and even the time and space here all began to move.
Ryan closed his eyes and recalled the strange smile on Qin Yan's face when he saw that the compass was out of order.
He felt that something was wrong with Qin Yan, and his obsession with the Jade Fuling Kingdom was too great.
Although Qin Yan has been very interested in "exploration" for decades, he has not been seen to spend twenty years on one thing...... It seems that since he had a memory, Qin Yan has been looking for the Jade Fuling Country.
Ryan yawned, he was only in his early twenties, Qin Yan was an old man-like senior to him - although he and Qin Yan were on the same level, but because Qin Yan was a lot older and more experienced, he basically listened to Qin Yan's command when he went out on a mission.
But this time, he was a little resistant to Qin Yan's command.
The first is because he feels that Qin Yan is hiding some things, and second, he doesn't want Xu Nianran to become Qin Yan's pawn.
Qin Yan's ...... On the surface, it looks mild and gentle, but in reality? Very purposeful and quite cold-blooded, Ryan has seen it many times in the past twenty years.
"Brother Hefei, it's cold, it's ......," Xu Nianran said.
Ryan rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand to pull the door of the tent higher, turned around, patted Xu Nianran's cheek, and said, "Hey, there is no Chen and Fei here, my arms can be borrowed from you, you can either settle for a while or sleep by yourself." ”
Xu Nianran can understand that there are ghosts, and the fragments of various scenes and memories in her mind are now chaotic, and the whole person is chaotic, and her behavior is just out of habit and instinct.
So when Ryan raised his arm and took her into his arms with the sleeping bag attached, she just moved, found a comfortable position, and continued to sleep.
Xing Wensu is the same as Xu Nianran, the more he walks in, the more strange he feels, but he doesn't want Xu Nianran to react to his body, but he is churning in his mind.
He even heard the sound of a yak's horn.
There is no trace here, it cannot be a voice in reality, but in a dream, half-asleep and half-awake, there is a voice.
Xing Wensu knew that the mountains, rivers and lands here were waiting for Xu Nianran's arrival.
He was silent and watched the changes, but he didn't expect Xu Nianran's body reaction to be so serious, he would actually have a nosebleed and faint, if it wasn't for Ryan taking precautions to tie her up at that time, maybe she would have rolled down into the sand at the foot of the mountain at this time.
I don't know what happened to Xu Nianran now, Xing Wensu frowned, holding a tasteless dinner, frowning, and looking at the tent under the mountain.
The door of the tent is ajar, and you can see Ryan's body on the outside, Xu Nianran is with him, it's not good or bad, that Ryan has an elusive temper, I hope he doesn't do anything to Xu Nianran.
In fact, Ryan's nature is not bad, but he has developed a way of thinking and acting that is different from ordinary people since he was a child, he was bored at this time, and he was forbidden by Qin Yan to touch Xu Nianran.
…… He has no interest in taking advantage of others, not to mention that the person in Xu Nianran's dream and mouth is Chen Youfei, so he has no interest in being a substitute.
However, he found a funny thing, Xu Nianran is actually very clingy, poke her, touch her, she will show a comfortable expression, but this is only when she is unconscious.
When she was a little fresher, her first instinct was to distance herself from Ryan.
"What? Throw it away when you're done with it? Ryan said with a grin.
Xu Nianran shook his head, ignored his teasing, and asked, "You, can you hear me?" ”
Ryan was stunned and nodded, "My ear power is normal. ”
"Then why...... Do I hear my own voice buzzing muffled? Xu Nianran covered his ears, feeling as if he had entered the water, and he couldn't hear the sound clearly, and even Ryan's speech had to be carefully distinguished by his ears sideways.
"......" Ryan reached over and covered her ears.
Xu Nianran is thin and small, and his head is not big, and he is covered by Ryan's hands, wrapped tightly on both sides, and his palms cover his cochlea, isolating the sound of the outside world.
After a brief silence, Xu Nianran began to hear another voice.
It was very similar to the sound she heard on the Gobi and in front of the Yumen Pass.
People shouted and horses neighed, the wind blew flags, laughter, shouting, and the dull and melodious sound of trumpets.
"What do you hear?" Ryan let go of his hand, and Xu Nianran's hearing returned to that sullen feeling.
"A lot of voices ......"
"Clear?"
"Hmm."
"Look, I'm right, right?" Ryan clasped his hands behind his head and lay down on the ground leisurely, "You can feel the 'miracle' here." ”
Xu Nianran covered his ears tightly, and that kind of voice appeared again, a voice that did not belong to this world.
She felt a little creepy, Ryan said, "There's your tomb here", so is she really going to die step by step? Or is it walking towards that silent world step by step?
"Scared?" Ryan smiled and leaned close to Xu Nianran's ear, "You kiss me, I'll give you a magic that you don't fear." ”
When Xu Nianran heard this, he burst out laughing, "You're going to take out a 'condom' again?" ”
Ryan raised an eyebrow, "When it's just the two of us, you'd better not say anything sexually suggestive......"
Xu Nianran was stunned for a moment, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, yes, how did he forget this stubble, now his life and death are pinched in his hands, if he really pounces on him and asks for something, how can he hide?
If you fight, you're not Ryan's opponent!
"You misunderstood, I just wanted to ask if you still have ketchup." Xu Nianran hurriedly explained.
"No, I'm too lazy to cook hot food, let's nibble on compressed biscuits." Ryan said bluntly, taking out a pack of compressed biscuits from his backpack and throwing them in front of Xu Nianran.
“…… So do you have any magic to make compressed cookies a little better? Xu Nianran shook his head, trying to sober himself up.
"Yes, you-"
"Kiss it, huh? Kiss. Kissed. Xu Nianran didn't bother to joke with him, and finished his words first.
Ryan laughed a few times, in fact, this girl is not easy to bully at all, not to mention that she has fought with herself before, and her mouth is more powerful than she imagined.
He also simply, anyway, he didn't really want Xu Nianran to kiss, he took out a piece of ham intestine from his backpack: "Eat, we don't have many supplies." He said that he would bite off half of it, and hand the remaining half to Xu Nianran.
Xu Nianran was full of black lines, this was the first time she had eaten half of the food that someone else had bitten off......
"Disgusted? When you want to starve to death, you can eat even carrion and insects, but if you don't eat it, you can kill each other, and don't be picky about some of them. Ryan muttered as he bit down on the compressed biscuit.
“…… It could have been eaten, but when you say that, you lose any appetite. Xu Nianran took a bite of the sausage and filled his stomach indiscriminately.
"You still eat so vigorously if you don't have an appetite?"
“…… I want to eat fried cod, boiled cabbage heart, and pumpkin cups......" Xu Nianran nibbled on the hard-to-swallow compressed biscuits, thinking about his favorite dishes, and comforted himself that the biscuits were actually seafood-flavored.
Ryan couldn't laugh, patted Xu Nianran on the back, and said, "If Chen Youfei knew that he would be spoiled like this, he would be speechless." ”
Xu Nianran pursed her lips and said to herself: "Brother Youfei didn't spoil me...... I'm sure I'll be beaten up when I go back this time. ”
Ryan pulled his backpack and stopped at the door of the tent, and said: "Then you have to have a life to go back, and you have to go back with good hands and feet, so that you have a chance to be beaten, don't think about it so much, with this time and energy, you might as well think about what will help us on the journey, maybe the chance of going back and being beaten will be greater." ”
Xu Nianran understands that Ryan is not alarmist when she says this, she has been taken care of by the people around her all the way this time, so she can get to the present relatively "easily", if she was alone, she would have lost her way or encountered some danger.
Ryan woke up naturally in the early hours of the morning, and he wanted to stay awake in the second half of the night, when most people were asleep.
The "rustling" sound I heard last night was not like it caused by the natural wind, but more like the sound of the movement of creatures.
He's going to seal it tonight.
However, Xu Nianran fell asleep in the tent, and he had to take care of her, so he didn't leave the tent, but sat by the door, opened the door a little, and paid attention to the situation around the fire.
His senses, after countless rigorous trainings and many dangerous tests, he did not believe that he could hear it wrong.
If Xu Nianran wasn't uncomfortable, maybe she could hear it, but since she stepped into this mountain range, her physical condition has become more and more wrong.
At first, I thought it was altitude sickness, but Pei Aishi, who is also a woman, didn't react much.
