Chapter 192: A Romantic Escape
The night is getting deeper and deeper, as if dyed with ink, and the wind rubs the leaves to make a deep and shallow rustling sound, which is particularly clear in the silent night.
Yi Qingchen sat leaning against the tree, and Chu Qiao lay beside him, his head resting on his knees, and his coat under him.
"Close your eyes and go to sleep."
He patted her on the stomach and leaned over to drop a kiss on her lips.
"Can't sleep."
Chu Qiao rolled over and found the most comfortable position in his knee socket.
One of their mobile phones was left at the campsite without it, and the other did not know where it had gone, so they could not contact anyone from the outside world at all, so they could only wait for dawn here silently.
But the two of them all had a very tacit understanding, and they didn't mention the group of people they met just now, and they didn't mention what happened just now, maybe they knew each other in their hearts, and some of the words were all in plain sight.
In the second half of the night, it was getting colder and colder, Chu Qiao was worried that Yi Qingchen, who was wearing short sleeves, was frozen, so he sat up and put his coat back on him, and then picked up some firewood to re-ignite the gradually dimming fire.
The night of snuggling up to each other was not as long as expected, and from night to early morning, the gradient of color of the sky transitioned into an incompatible thrill.
"Here you go."
Yi Qingchen pulled Chu Qiao up from the ground.
"Shall we go?"
"Of course not, even if it's a 'escape', I hope it's a romantic 'escape'."
He took her hand lightly, and after passing through a dense thicket, at the end of which was an open reed.
Chu Qiao raised his head, just in time to see the red sun emerging from the thick clouds, rendering the sky layer by layer, the gorgeous flames slowly polished the entire sky, until the cloud could no longer suppress its thousands of rays of light, it quickly rose from behind the clouds, and the originally gray world finally jumped into a new life with flickering golden light in this warm light.
In the blue sky, it is high above, looking at all things in the world, and when everything in this world becomes its foil and prostrates at its feet, it finally irreversibly becomes the king of the light, dominating all life in the world.
Chu Qiao rarely watched the sunrise, not to mention being with her beloved, if she had ever seen the sunrise, then it must have been an illusion that appeared in a half-asleep half-wake after staying drunk all night.
And at this moment, she really felt its power from the depths of her heart, she turned her face sideways, just in time to see the brilliant golden light illuminating the delicate half of Yi Qingchen's face, for a moment, she had such an illusion, as if the light that dominated everything was emanating from him.
He skimmed his face, and she saw herself in his direct eyes, which were also red, beautifully outlined by the light.
She felt a surge of excitement inexplicably.
"It turns out that as long as two people are together, the world can really be so beautiful that people are reluctant to separate." This is something she has learned before.
"A loving heart makes all this better."
He pressed her cheek and kissed her.
"After eating this chocolate, let's go."
Chu Qiao didn't object again, and quickly solved a small half after taking it, and then handed it back to him, "Together." ”
"Okay."
He smiled and stuffed the rest of the chocolate into his mouth, his eyes smiling as if they were also glinting.
"Let's go."
Yi Qingchen took her hand again, and the two returned to the river, following the gurgling water all the way down.
"It turns out that there is a cliff at the end of the river."
Chu Qiao stood on the edge of the cliff with a little disappointment, poked his head and went down, it was ten meters away from the next ground, it was impossible to go down, but if he turned back, he would very likely meet the men in black, which would be more dangerous.
"Looks like God is planning to let us have had enough of being here and then go back."
Yi Qingchen crossed his arms, and there was no nervousness on his face.
"Let's go, we'll have to go into the forest."
"Okay."
Yi Qingchen suddenly squatted down and patted his shoulder, "Come up." ”
"I still don't want it, I'm not tired, I can walk." In this case, it is necessary to maintain the physical strength of both parties, if Yi Qingchen carries her on her back, although she is not tired, but Yi Qingchen, who has not eaten well since yesterday, will really have a hard time, in case he is found by those people, he will be in danger.
"Come up, my little sparrow, and stand on my shoulder."
"No ......"
Before she finished speaking, Yi Qingchen had already dragged her to her back, got up steadily and walked towards the forest.
"Put me down, I'm really not tired."
"It's not because you're tired that I carry you, I just want to carry you, why does the husband have to carry his beloved wife depending on the situation?"
"But my beloved husband is very tired now, and my wife is very distressed."
Yi Qingchen smiled and lifted her buttocks, and Chu Qiao hugged his neck harder, "Otherwise, let's verify it on the spot and see how physical strength I have now?" ”
As he spoke, he squeezed her buttocks with a wicked twist.
Chu Qiao was glad that he was on his back at this moment, otherwise her sun-dyed cheeks would definitely make him even more happy to tease her.
"I believe you are, don't make a fuss."
"That's right, it's a common thing in the army to carry dozens of kilograms of cross-country running obstacles for dozens of kilometers."
The weight in the army is generally only twenty or thirty kilograms, and Chu Qiao naturally understands in her heart that Yi Qingchen said this just to comfort her.
"Then let you relive the old days, but you are only allowed to carry it for a while, it is not as comfortable as you imagined to be carried by others, which is equivalent to maintaining a posture for a long time, and it is also very tiring, so I will come down to relax my muscles and bones later."
"Okay, listen to you." There was a smile hidden in his voice.
His back was very strong and warm, but Chu Qiao was extremely nervous when he stayed on it, and from time to time he raised the watch on his wrist to look at the time, obviously only five or six minutes had passed, but it was a terrible time for her, and every minute and every second was torment.
"No, no, no, you better let me down, we both have leg cramps."
Yi Qingchen squatted down honestly, and she hurriedly climbed off his back.
"Thirsty or not?"
"It's alright, but let's rest for a while."
There was some sweat oozing from his forehead, and she was a little distressed, so she hurriedly reached out and wiped it for him.
At this time, the weather was still early, and it was in the woods, so it was naturally cool, and the sweat on the two of them dried out after resting for a while.
"Let's go, go on, it's time for a hike."
Chu Qiao pulled a thick branch from the side, skimmed off the excess branches and leaves in three or two and made a simple trekking pole.
"Give."
"I don't want it, you better keep this thing for yourself."
"Take it, trekking poles in the wild are a must-have, especially if you are a thirty-year-old man, you should hold it, just in case."
"I'm twenty-nine." He gritted his teeth and emphasized.
"It's not the same, twenty-nine or thirty is one year old, I almost forgot, I'm actually only twenty-three, still a little girl, in the future, you will be responsible for earning money to support the family, I will be responsible for being happy and chic, my life has just begun, I can't stay in your castle to spend it in vain, there are so many little fresh meat outside, it's a pity not to know a few."
Chu Qiao said as he spoke, lost his shape again, and deliberately shouted provocatively, "Uncle, do you think I'm right?" ”
She was about to continue walking, but was dragged back by Yi Qingchen.
"Then Uncle will let you know now that I know how good an old man I am!"
The thin lips gnawed at her lips aggressively, and the flexible tongue drove straight in, and the cool feeling of the idea of the breeze quickly disappeared again, and there seemed to be something in her body that had been stored for a long time.
"Stop!"
Chu Qiao suddenly pushed him away with a force, "Big brother, we are running for our lives now, is it time to play ambiguous?" ”
"When we appear in the same picture, even the air is ambiguous, what else do we need to play ambiguous?"
He bit her delicate lips punitively, and the jelly-like texture made him feel like he wanted to attack her again.
"Don't make trouble, no matter how much trouble you make, everyone will catch up."
"No, it won't." Yi Qingchen put her voice on her back with a dumb voice, and her gentle big hand gently stroked her small and abdomen, "Just a moment, 'morning exercise' is very important, didn't you say that you should insist on exercising?" ”
"Can it be the same...... Kougo ......"
She suddenly snapped and collapsed in his arms.
By the time he "disarmed and drew his gun," it was already half an hour later.
Chu Qiao glared at him angrily.
The man's words really can't be believed, what do you say for a while, forty or fifty minutes, is that a while?
Swindler!
"Wife, you were so enthusiastic just now." Yi Qingchen hooked the corners of her lips obliquely, teasingly hooked her chin, and got closer, "Isn't this feeling exciting?" ”
"Stimulate your size and be scared, okay?" What do you think, there is a killer chasing after you, and you will be emotional at such a time, and the person with the stallion physique is really irreversible!
Seeing that he looked unsatisfied, she hurriedly sorted out the clothes on her body and fled far away, although there was no other person in the deep mountains and old forests, but after all, it was a ventilated place on all sides, which always made people feel a little embarrassed, unlike Yi Qingchen, cheeky people always don't care.
"Wife, you go slowly, wait for me."
"One meter away from me!"
Chu Qiao pointed at him with a thick branch, "Don't let you come near me again!" ”
It is indeed in the big forest that it is easiest to tempt people to burst out of the wild.
"Then you go slowly, let's not rush."
Chu Qiao wanted to say: Why aren't you in a hurry, lunch hasn't arrived yet, and when it gets dark later, could it be that the two of them will stay in the woods all night?
Although I originally planned to come out to play for three days, but playing for three days is not the same as running for three days, right? You have to worry about your life all the time, and of course, you have to get home early to make people feel at ease.
But she was worried that when she said this, Yi Qingchen, who was not in a hurry at all, was also driven by her emotions to become anxious, according to the current situation, whether the two of them can get out of this forest before dark is hanging, let alone getting home safely, if she says this, but she can't arrive, Yi Qingchen will definitely blame herself.
She pursed her lips, but eventually slowed down.
He hurriedly stepped forward to take her hand, tight, and the smile on his lips was more dazzling and charming than the morning sunrise.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Although I really feel sorry for you to be so tired, but wife, in fact, I still enjoy the time like now, and as long as I think about it in the future, I will still feel excited and happy."
"Well, what the two of us experience together, no matter what it is, will only be happiness for me in the end."
Being together and sharing weal and woe is a kind of happiness.
"Nature is really a movable natural food storage cabinet, hungry? My husband will give you game to eat. ”
A small gray hare jumped out of the grass not far away, Yi Qingchen quickly took out the gun from his pocket, and was pressed back by Chu Qiao before he could aim.
"I don't want to, I can't always see a hairy animal die in front of me, let's go any further, if there is any wild fruit or something, we can also fight hunger."
"Okay then."
Yi Qingchen withdrew the gun, Chu Qiao suddenly kissed him, and after a while, a sweet thing transitioned from her mouth to his.
"Sugar?" He licked his lips gently, "Where did you come from?" That rabbit bought you with this thing just now? ”
"Well, it was given by the rabbit, and the rabbit said, please let it go, and it will pick cute mushrooms for you to eat later." Of course, she wouldn't tell him, in fact, she still had three pieces of sugar in her pocket, and she gave him one and left two, although it didn't make much use, but after a long period of fatigue, sugar can increase the blood sugar level in the human body, at least it will be a little more comfortable.
"You want mushrooms?"
"yes......" She almost didn't bite her tongue, this guy really unconsciously brought the topic in that direction.
"You, be serious!"
Yi Qingchen bit the candy between her teeth and pulled the corners of her lips, signaling that it was time for her to take it back.
"I've just eaten one, let's move on."
Maybe it was really the rabbit in the dark who was blessing them, and before they walked twenty meters, a large patch of healthy and full mushrooms really appeared, standing on the ground with big flowers, as if waiting for them.
"Look, I said there were mushrooms."
She ran forward in a good mood, picked one and observed it carefully, "Confirm that it is non-toxic." ”
"How do you know?"
Yi Qingchen looked at her in surprise, although Chu Qiao was not favored in the Chu family before, but he was also a rich daughter, how could he recognize whether the mushroom was poisonous or not?
How many unknown surprises are there waiting for him to discover his wife?
"I went to university in the UK before and went to a field training camp with my classmates, although it was not very difficult, but I still knew these basic things."
"You go and make a fire, I'll pick mushrooms, since there is no pot, we can only roast and eat, fortunately you have salt, I don't worry, but I have to grieve your stomach."
"With you, everything you eat is delicacies from the mountains and the sea."
He pecked her and ran to the side to collect firewood.
In a few moments, curling smoke rose on the empty flat ground, slowly drifting high into the sky through the dense foliage.
However, just as the two of them were about to put the skewered mushrooms on the fire to roast, there was a sudden squirming movement in the forest behind them, which became louder and clearer.
The two looked at each other wary, each pulled out his gun and hid in the bushes beside him.
After a while, a middle-aged man in shabby clothes came out of the bushes, with a large firewood knife pinned to his waist and a bamboo basket behind him.
He walked over to the fire that the two had just lit, and looked around.
"Huh! Anyone? ”
shouted a few times in succession, but still no one answered.
"Really, what kind of person is this, if you light a fire, you won't extinguish it, what can you do if you burn the mountain?"
The man of the mountain village said, unbuttoned his trouser belt, took out the work and poured a soak of urine on the fire, and after a few snorts, the fire was extinguished.
When the man put on his pants again, Yi Qingchen let go of the hand covering Chu Qiao's eyes and put away the gun again.
"What are you two?"
Two people jumped out of the bushes, and the mountain village man was startled and reacted, "Oh...... This fire was born by the two of you, it's too unusual, and you won't put it out when you leave, what should you do if you turn around and have a fire in the house? ”
"I'm sorry, we were going to roast the mushrooms and eat them, but there was movement on your side, and we thought it was some beast coming, so we hid before we could extinguish it."
"Oh......" The man glanced Chu Qiao and Yi Qingchen up and down, "What are you two doing in this uninhabited place?" Travelers? ”
I kept talking about this new word on the TV news a while ago, and I couldn't help but show off it as soon as I learned it.
"Well, we're travelers, but unfortunately we got lost, and we've run out of food we brought, so we can't just eat mushrooms, by the way, can you please take us out of this forest?"
Yi Qingchen is the most polite person, Chu Qiao grabbed his hand and grabbed him before he spoke.
"Of course, I'm a mountain keeper of this generation, and I have this obligation, otherwise what will you two do if you two set me on fire in the forest?"
The middle-aged man, who claimed to be a mountain watchman, picked up the mushrooms they had left aside and put them in the basket.
"Let's go, if you have a fast walk, you can go down the mountain before dark."
"Okay, thank you."
"By the way, did you see any strange people on the road just now?"
"Strange people?" The mountain keeper thought for a moment, "Yes, isn't it just the two of you?" ”
“……”
Chu Qiao rubbed his empty stomach and continued, "Do you have anything to eat in this basket?" We haven't eaten yet. ”
"The mushrooms you two wasted in the basket are just that, but my cabin is not far from here, and there is some bacon or something, plus these mushrooms are just enough to make a pot of soup, and I usually go down the mountain before dark, and I don't prepare anything else."
"It's okay, it's okay, it's good to have this, thank you so much."
It seems that this middle-aged man is still quite enthusiastic, although he is a little stubborn.
After a while, the three of them came to the small wooden house that the middle-aged man said, and the middle-aged man quickly took off the bacon hanging in the air, and put it into the pot with the mushrooms after a simple cleaning.
"Wife, I'm a little sick to my stomach, can you accompany me to make it easier?"
Yi Qingchen suddenly covered his stomach, his face showing pain.
"Huh? Okay, okay, I'll go with you. Chu Qiao was worried, and hurriedly said to the middle-aged man: "Big brother, do you have tissues?" ”
"Yes, you wait for me to get it for you."
The middle-aged man rubbed his hands, turned and entered the room.
At this moment, Yi Qingchen quickly grabbed Chu Qiao's hand and rushed out of the door, causing Chu Qiao to be confused.
Yi Qingchen plugged in the latch on the door in three or two clicks, and the beasts and poisonous snakes in the forest were occasionally infested, and for the sake of safety, the thatched huts of these mountain guards had no windows at all, and the man could only smash the door with something in anger.
"There should be an ambush around here, let's withdraw first!"
He grabbed her hand and ran quickly into the depths of the jungle.
I don't know how long it took, Chu Qiao, who was already hungry, finally slowed down because of physical exhaustion, Yi Qingchen was worried that she couldn't bear it, so he took her into a narrow cave, and there was a lot of thatch growing outside the cave, which could just play a hidden role, at least let them rest a little more at ease.
"Give."
Chu Qiao took out the only two pieces of candy left in his pocket, peeled one and stuffed it into his mouth, and then ate the other himself.
"What just happened?"
After a little calming down, she asked.
"The man was holding his shoes all the time, and his heels were almost on the ground."
"So those shoes aren't his?"
"Hmm." Yi Qingchen smiled, "Although the poor people don't have the money to buy good shoes, but since they buy them, at least they will fit, even if they are big, they will never buy too small, otherwise they won't be able to do the work with their feet, although the middle-aged man just now imitated very similar in words and deeds, but he betrayed him in shoes, and this set on his body should have been picked up from the real mountain keeper, and it is estimated that the real one has gone to God to report at this time." ”
"It's cruel."
Chu Qiao originally thought that no matter how old Stuart was, he was Yi Qingchen's grandfather, although the grandfather and grandson had provoked each other for a long time, at least nothing had really happened, but now it seems that the grandfather was actually really murderous to Yi Qingchen, and she recalled the incident between Yi Chenxue and Yi Qingchen, at that time, didn't Yi Chenxue fall in love with him at first sight because he saved Yi Qingchen, who was chased and killed by his grandfather?
She almost thought that the old English man, who was as elegant as a Louis XIV, and Yi Qingchen was just a game of proving each other's abilities and absolutely no danger.
"I thought Grandpa just sent a killer, I didn't expect him to come here, fortunately his killers didn't block us outside the cabin just now, otherwise we would have confessed here today."
"He wants to block, in relative silence, I can hear an ambush within a short distance, if that's the case, I guess the man has been killed by me long before the two of us entered the cabin, so he won't take that risk, it's better to add some ingredients to the soup and put us down collectively."
Yi Qingchen shook her hand, "Don't be afraid, I will definitely be able to take you out." ”
"Well, I believe you."
"It's just that I've wronged you a little and made you starving." In fact, Yi Qingchen really didn't expect that she would be hungry with him in this life.
"It's okay if you don't eat one or two meals, aren't you hungry yourself, don't say this, the two of us are husband and wife, not so angry."
"Well, listen to you, don't talk about it."
After sitting for about half an hour, Yi Qingchen got up and walked to the entrance of the cave to probe the movement outside.
"Let's go."
"Okay."
Chu Qiao climbed his hand again, and the two of them vigilantly burrowed out of the cave and walked deeper into the woods.
The depths of the depths are the roads, this is the eternal rule, the earth is round, for them this is the depths of the woods, and for the people on the other side of the woods, this is not the beginning of entering the woods?
When the two of them successfully walked out of the dense forest, the moon had quietly climbed into the dark night sky, and the stars were still shining, but they were no longer as prosperous as yesterday.
"It's good that we're coming out."
Chu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face involuntarily bloomed again, and Yi Qingchen was stunned.
It seems that no matter what the situation is, she can always smile as always.
It's so nice, it's nice to look at her smile.
"We've been walking for a long time, let's stop and rest."
"Are you tired?" Chu Qiao asked.
"It's fine."
"Then keep walking, go down the mountain to a safe place as soon as possible, I don't want to be chased around like dogs by these guys."
"Well, then listen to you, but when you're tired, don't be reckless."
"I know."
She smiled and kissed him, "It's an encouragement, keep going." ”
He held her hand, and was pulled out in the moonlight.
Obviously, they had gone around to the other side of the mountain, and there was no car at the foot of the mountain, and they did not care about anything else, and walked towards the lighted place with joy and joy.
Not far ahead is a secluded mountain village, but it looks really poor, and all the houses are shabby.
"Let's stay here tonight."
"Okay."
Yi Qingchen reached out to wipe the stains from her face.
The two didn't dare to find a family at the entrance of the village casually, so they walked to the center of the village and chose one of the denser housing groups to knock on the door.
"Why did you come back?"
Soon, a middle-aged woman came running and opened the door.
Seeing two good-looking young men standing outside the door, he hurriedly said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I thought it was our family who came back, are you two?" ”
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law is still bothering you so late, we are mountaineering friends, we got lost, and we finally found here, can you take us in for one night?"
Chu Qiao said, took out a few banknotes from his pocket that had become crumpled from the water, and handed them to the woman.
"What do you mean by this, I don't take this money, you two come in, my daughter has gone to study in the town, you two will live in her house."
"Thank you, sister-in-law, for your please."
"You're welcome, who hasn't encountered a problem when they go out, come in."
The middle-aged woman beckoned them into the house as she spoke, "Look at you like that, you must not have eaten yet, it just so happens that I have left food for our family, you two eat first, and when he comes back, I will cook him a noodle." ”
"Huh! Thank you! ”
The two of them quickly ate the food on the table, and those who were accustomed to eating all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas felt extremely satisfied with the homely meals at this time.
"Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are really good."
"Where, just cook whatever you want, just don't dislike it."
The sister-in-law opened the door again and looked out as she spoke, "I don't know how, our family hasn't come back so late today." ”
Chu Qiao glanced at an exceptionally familiar back basket under the corner of the wall, and suddenly had a bad omen in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, what is your husband doing?" ”
