Chapter 10 Affection
The rabbit meat is grilled on the hot fire, and the oil juice boils little by little on the skin and flesh, and then drip down the golden skin of the roast and crackle on the fiery red charcoal fire. Since that nightmare day, Xiao Lei has found that Shi Manman is particularly prone to distraction. Right now, her eyes were staring at the cooked barbecue in front of her without focus.
"It's ready to eat." Xiao Lei's hand shook in front of Shi Manman's eyes, reminding the other party to come back to his senses. But I saw Shi Manman let out a soft "oh", and he didn't care that the rabbit meat was still roasted on the hot fire, so he reached out and grabbed it directly. Seeing this, Xiao Lei hurriedly stopped, "Eh! Scald! As he spoke, he slapped away the outstretched hand of the stone man.
Shi Manman was stunned by Xiao Lei, looked at his hand, and then looked at Xiao Lei. Xiao Lei skillfully pinched out the rabbit meat with a bamboo stick, and exhaled at the hot rabbit meat. After the hot rabbit meat cooled down, Xiao Lei handed the meat to Shi Manman and said, "Eat it." ”
"I'm a demon, I'm not afraid of being hot." Shi Manman opened his mouth lightly, and still took the barbecue in Xiao Lei's hand. Xiao Lei said: "Not afraid of being hot, doesn't mean you won't be burned." ”
Shi Manman was silent, bowing his head and eating the meat. The two of them didn't speak for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
"I've been thinking about it for a long time these days, and I can't figure out a problem." Shi Manman finally spoke to break the silence. Xiao Lei saw Shi Manman speak, and immediately said, "What's the problem?" ”
"Why did you block the hooked snake attack for me in the first place? You know that such an attack will not be dangerous to me," Shi Manman looked at Xiao Lei for a moment and asked seriously.
Xiao Lei was stunned when he heard Shi Manman's words, and said secretly: "I really didn't know that attack wouldn't cause you harm." Although he thought in his heart, he said, "I am a man, and I should protect women, right?" Xiao Lei winked at Shi Manman and smiled slightly.
Shi Manman shook his head and said, "I don't know why men have to protect women, but I know that you are killing yourself if you stand in front of me like that." You don't have a spell, and you're a mortal, I should be standing in front of you......"
Xiao Lei was useless by Shi Manman, he wanted to open his mouth to refute, but he thought that Shi Manman's words were not unreasonable, in the enchanting Kunlun, an ordinary rabbit's survivability may be stronger than him. "Don't dwell on this, haven't you always been in front of me before, resolving crises for me again and again? I just did the same thing as you. ”
Shi Manman tilted his head and thought about it, it seemed that it was just as Xiao Lei said. His heart suddenly brightened, and he said to Xiao Lei: "That...... If we go to the world, will you still stand in front of me in danger? "The world? Xiao Lei was pulled back to reality all of a sudden, and he didn't know when he would be able to go home.
"Yes." Xiao Lei smiled and assured Shi Manman. Shi Manman heard Xiao Lei's promise, and smiled slightly, his eyes were shining, and Xiao Lei was stunned.
Day after day, Xiao Lei gradually faded away from the idea of returning to the world. He seems to have adapted to his time in Kunlun, occasionally catching fish with the Ben Bird and playing in the water. Or sit next to the stone vines and watch the enchantment in a daze.
Without the pressure of scientific research and the urging of family members, he is like a farmer in the countryside who rises at sunrise and earns his life every day. The relationship with Shi Manman seems to have returned to its original appearance after talking that day. But the initial alienation and fear of unknown creatures are gone.
It was still an uneventful day, Xiao Lei sat beside Shi Manman. The fairy grass planted next to Shi Manvine was pulled out by Shi Manvine in order to save Xiao Lei.
"Can you still find the herbs?" Xiao Lei's palm brushed over the place where the herbs were planted and asked.
"Well, it's just that the big tiger in that territory is too stingy." Shi Manman still remembered the way the tiger demon glared at him.
The two chatted with each other. Under the gorgeous sun, the backs of the two are illuminated, revealing harmony and tranquility. I thought I would enjoy the afternoon sun as usual, until the roar in the distance shattered it.
The first to react were the ben birds not far away, screaming and scurrying, mixed with the panicked cries of other birds and animals.
Shi Manman's face changed, and he got up and jumped onto a higher tree, only to see a cloud of smoke and dust brought up by the turmoil in the distance. Xiao Lei listened to the roar from far to near, and immediately got up and looked in the direction where the sound came from, but under the cover of dense woods and shrubs, he couldn't see the distant scene at all, only saw animals running around like headless flies. His heart was beating violently, and unease came to him.
"It's a red-eyed pig demon." Shi Manman jumped off the top of the tree and said to Xiao Lei. Xiao Lei was about to open his mouth to ask what the "red-eyed pig demon" was, when he saw a galloping figure in the distance.
A monster with a pig's head and a dog's body, covered with black hair, hard thorns and red eyes, came with a fierce momentum. The size is actually comparable to that of the hooked snake when it is coiled. At this time, it was too late to react and dodge.
The red-eyed pig demon went on a blind rampage, breaking countless trees along the way, as if he didn't know the pain, and there was no sign of slowing down.
Shi Manman's hand quickly dragged Xiao Lei and jumped towards a luxuriant tree on the side. In an instant, the red-eyed pig demon passed by the big tree that the two of them were hiding from, and the strong wind mixed with the smell of fish, and Xiao Lei's cheeks hurt when the strong wind blew.
The red-eyed pig demon seemed to be unable to see the barrier ahead, and slammed into the barrier at great speed. After Xiao Lei clearly heard the sound of bones shattering, he saw that the red-eyed pig demon was rebounded by an extremely strong force, and flew towards a huge ancient tree, which was deeply embedded in the trunk of the tree, and his breath was dying.
The stone vine fell to the bottom of the tree with Xiao Lei, and the pig demon that had been embedded in the trunk of the tree twitched, and the huge impact almost broke its spine, and the bones broke through the body, and the tough skin was exposed, and the wound gushed with stinking blood.
"It's dying." Xiao Lei curiously observed the ugly-looking pig demon, and wanted to get closer to see it clearly, but was pulled by the stone vine and said, "Even if the demon is about to die, it is very dangerous." ”
The two of them stood here like this, watching the red-eyed pig demon struggle, and finally completely lost his breath.
"Isn't this the scope of your captivity, how can there be other demon beasts." Xiao Lei's red-eyed pig demon made a movement, and his heart palpitated.
Shi Manman was also very puzzled, how could the red-eyed pig demon who liked yin appear in the scorching noon, and broke into his territory in a panic, as if there was some terrifying existence behind him. She carefully observed the appearance of the red-eyed pig demon, the other party's cultivation was only a hundred years, although it was about the same time as Shi Manman's cultivation, but Shi Manman was a human form as soon as he was born. In comparison, the disparity in rank is very huge, otherwise the hooked snake has been cultivating for thousands of years, how can it only spit out words.
And judging by the time of this pig demon's cultivation, the other party's spiritual intelligence is not high. What kind of courage did the other party break into his territory regardless of life and death. And like seeking death, he rushed straight into the enchantment.
Xiao Lei saw Shi Manvine thinking about the red-eyed pig demon, so he looked ahead of the pig demon when he came, and the lush trees were knocked down, revealing the sky that had been blocked for thousands of years.
"That'...... Over there! Xiao Lei was stunned and pointed into the distance, he couldn't control his emotions and was almost speechless. I saw that the direction of the red-eyed pig demon was already full of wind and sand at this moment. The concentration and extent of the wind and sand have reached the point of obscuring the sky and the sun, and darkness has followed.
"Demon tide?!" Shi Manman looked at Xiao Lei and pointed in the direction, and the center was surprised. But this is not the time to think about the reason, Shi Manman estimated the distance in his heart, thinking about which direction to dodge. But the demon tide came from all directions, heaven and land. There are no longer conditions to break through.
Shi Manman immediately took Xiao Lei to hide under a three-zhang diameter ancient tree, facing the enchantment and carrying the demon tide.
The first batch of demon beasts came, and the trunk of the tree was rubbed and collided by thousands of demon beasts, wearing down nearly half a meter in diameter, and it was still shrinking. Most of the weak demons in the demon tide can't keep up with the speed, and are directly trampled into meat or devoured on the way.
At this moment, the two of them could only lean their bodies tightly together, the speed of the demon beasts on both sides was too fast, Xiao Lei was afraid that if he showed a trace of his clothes, he would be brought into the demon tide by those crazy demon beasts, and the trampled bones were gone.
The thick ancient tree began to crumble, and the stone vines almost stuck to Xiao Lei's chest, and she looked sideways at the enchantment. The beasts that came one after another slammed into each other as if begging for death, and her flesh flew everywhere, and she concentrated on ready to swing away the wreckage of her severed arm that flew in.
The scene in front of him, although Shi Manman had never seen it, felt extremely familiar. Think carefully about tracing the memories in your mind.
When I first came here, I saw patches of white bones, almost piled up into small hills. The skeletons are at least 1,000 years old, could it have happened here thousands of years ago?
"It's getting dark!" Xiao Lei's nerves were highly tense, and he didn't notice that the sky was gradually getting dark. I thought it was too many monsters blocking the light, but at this moment, when I carefully distinguished, it was so dark that I could barely see my fingers.
Dark? Shi Manman immediately stopped paying attention to the flying stump, only to see that the barrier seemed to melt under the impact of thousands of demon beasts, and gradually collapsed. Shi Manman's heart was shocked, can he leave Kunlun and go to the world? When the obsession of a hundred years is about to be realized, it feels unreal and unreal.
She looked up at Xiao Lei's face and saw him staring at her back with a wary expression, although there was nervousness and fear in his eyes, his expression was very firm. A pair of big hands somehow protected his head and back, holding himself tightly in his arms.
Shi Manman hesitated in her heart, she didn't know if she would be able to adapt to everything she didn't know after she went to the world, and most importantly, whether she and Xiao Lei would be the same as in Kunlun.
Thinking of Xiao Lei, Shi Manman's mind suddenly appeared, Xiao Lei sat lonely in a homesick figure, and once told himself that he was homesick and smiled bitterly. With some pain in her heart, Shi Manman made up her mind and made a decision, she looked up at Xiao Lei and asked, "When I come to the world, can I marry you?" ”
Xiao Lei was in the vibration of the demon beast's roaring and galloping, and heard what Shi Manman was saying, as if he was asking himself what was good, he subconsciously nodded and said yes. Shi Manman stood on tiptoe and pecked Xiao Lei's stubble chin, a little prickly lips. Xiao Lei's numbness starting from his chin spread all over his body and even every tip of his hair, and he "stared" at Shi Manman in surprise, not knowing why the other party had such a move. But Shi Manman's red lips left, but her eyes didn't dare to look at Xiao Lei, and she didn't know why she did this move, and there seemed to be more than a hundred birds in her heart bumping around, she just did what husband and wife would do according to the fragment in her mind.
It wasn't until the debris of the collision cut Xiao Lei's cheek that the charm between the two was broken. Shi Manman looked at Xiao Lei's bloody skin, and his delicate face was immediately dyed with thin anger. Jiao shouted: "Hold it tight!" Xiao Lei heard it clearly this time, but before he could react, his waist was tightly hugged by Shi Manman and rushed forward with the demon tide, he didn't understand what Shi Manman wanted to do, and he didn't struggle to resist because of his trust for no reason, but the panic of weightlessness made him close his eyes tightly.
The expected impact did not follow, and an indescribable force appeared in his body, pulling and blocking him from moving forward. Gradually, the force turned into squeezing, and when the chest cavity was about to be squeezed to pieces, the body suddenly loosened, and the feeling of pressure disappeared.
