Chapter 12: On the way up the mountain....

Somewhere in the mountain, two figures slowly advanced, and in the eyes of a certain person, it was like a turtle crawling.

A wolf howl sounded,

'Sister buckwheat, I'm scared' Hearing the wolf's howl, Xiyue couldn't help but lean towards me

'Don't be afraid, let's go faster,' I pulled Shioduki and sped up.

After walking for a short time, a thorny vine pulled me along, tearing a hole in my clothes, and leaving a deep red mark on my snow-white skin.

'What's wrong, Sister Buckwheat? ’

'I'm fine, let's go' I took her hand and kept walking, we had been walking for a day, and I believe it won't be long before we arrive.

It was dark, the branches were messy, the weeds were overgrown, the moonlight was shining on the ground, and a gust of wind was blowing, which looked particularly gloomy, and I subconsciously covered my clothes.

We struggled to move forward step by step, and suddenly a footstep was in the air, and the moon fell.

'Xiyue' I hurriedly grabbed her, 'Sister Buckwheat, you have to save me'

'I will,' I grabbed Shioduki with both hands.

The mountain was very high and steep, and when I looked down, it was pitch black below and I couldn't see anything. Xiyue was lying on the ground, her clothes were covered with dust, and she wanted to slide down.

Shizuki was already very thin, but I still felt very heavy, and I was about to fall.

I looked around, and all I saw was a tree and vines growing everywhere.

"Shigetsu, hold on, I'll definitely save you up."

"Well, Sister Buckwheat, I believe in you" said Shizuki who had already shed tears.

I freed up my hand, grabbed a tree vine, and threw it to Shigetsuki.

"Come and catch" 'En' Xiyue first grabbed the vine with one hand and kept grabbing my hand, and after a while, both hands were holding the vine tightly.

The thorns sank into the flesh, and their hands were stained with blood.

I moved gently towards the tree next to me, fast, fast, three, two, one, I grabbed the vine, circled around the tree, and when I was sure that the tie was very strong, I let go and reached out to pull Xiyue.

'Xiyuelai' took my hand with one hand and pulled the vine with the other, slowly moving upward, not daring to push too hard, afraid of a force, breaking the vine, a force, pulling me down, we can only move slowly, gradually Xiyue is getting closer and closer to me, finally, I pulled her up with a hard effort 'Great, Xiyue' 'Well, Sister Buckwheat, I knew you would save me' Xiyue cried.

'Okay, don't cry, let's go slowly, be careful in the future. ’

We began to walk forward again, we did not dare to stop, we were more afraid to stop than to walk.

In the dark night, the sky was shining with many stars, and if I was at home, I would be gathered around the marble round table in the courtyard, where my parents were discussing my brother's marriage, and I was adding oil and vinegar to it.

But now, he actually survived and ran to the mountains to learn art; Although it is voluntary, I don't know if people will accept it or not? As I walked, I thought that maybe I wouldn't be so scared to think about something and divert my attention. It's about four o'clock in the morning, and it's getting brighter.

I held on to the moon phase and walked step by step. Suddenly I heard something.

'Shioyue, did you hear anything?' Shigetsu shook her head.

'Strange, did I hear it wrong?' ’

'Sizzle' 'hiss' is this sound, what is this sound? Where have you heard of it? I thought.

A dark green snake appeared five meters away from Liu Hanqiao.

A cold wind blew, I shivered, tugged at my clothes, and pulled Xiyue to walk briskly.

A snake followed closely.

In the place where the branches were messy and overgrown with weeds, the snake moved, and saw it crawl behind Liu Hanqiao.

Liu Hanqiao heard the 'sizzle' sound again, turned around to look, and saw a dark green snake looking at her.

'Ah, snake,' Liu Hanqiao shouted, pointing the branch that he used as a crutch at the snake.

The snake was startled and quickly bit Liu Hanqiao's ankle, and Liu Hanqiao also hit the snake, and the snake quickly left.

Liu Hanqiao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, sweating profusely, and broke out in a cold sweat.

'Sister Buckwheat' Xiyue shouted, "It's okay Xiyue, that snake was beaten away by me"

'Well' Xiyue nodded, 'Let's go'

The more I walked, the more tired I became, and after just walking for a while, I felt weakness all over my body, and I had a headache and fever.

'Sister Buckwheat, why are you pale?' ’

I felt weird, and it hurt a little bit, my feet hurt.

'Shall we take a break?' We sat under a tree.

I lowered my head, rolled up my pants and looked at it, there were two dotted blood-red bite marks, oh no! Must have been bitten by that snake.

'Sister Buckwheat, you were bitten by a snake, what should I do?' Shizuki exclaimed.

"I don't know if it's poisonous?"

"Sister Buckwheat, your face is so pale" I felt like I was about to fall asleep.

'Shioyue, I feel like I've been poisoned by a snake

'Ah, what should I do, where can I find a doctor in this barren mountain?' ’

'Gotta get the poison out as soon as possible,' I passed out.

'Sister buckwheat, how are you? 'You can't sleep!' ’

Thinking that he rolled down the mountain, it was Xiao Qiao who struggled to save herself, and Xiyue made up her mind to save Xiao Qiao. lowered his head to help Xiao Qiao absorb the poison.

After a long time, I slowly opened my eyes and saw Shizuki lying on one side asleep.

I looked at the wound, saw the blood stains on the ground, and then turned my head to look at Xiyue, speechless, an unknown friendship had been buried deep in my heart.

After a while, Xiyue woke up, 'Sister buckwheat, you're awake'

I nodded,

'Xiyue' I called her softly, 'Sister Buckwheat' She promised, I didn't know what to say, my heart was full of gratitude, and my eyes revealed a strong friendship, Xiyue smiled sweetly and said: 'Sister Buckwheat, let's go' Xiyue hugged me and walked forward slowly.

The sun was going down soon, but they hadn't yet arrived, 'Xiyue, according to what the old man said, I should be there soon, right?' ’

"Well, it should be almost there" "Let's go" After saying that, we walked with difficulty, our bodies were too weak and weak, but we still did not give up and move forward.

Finally, after walking for a while, we came across a house.

"Sister Buckwheat, look at that, there is a house" Xiyue said in surprise, I looked at what Xiyue pointed out, and sure enough, I saw a house "Let's go" With hope, with faith, we also quickened the pace.

Finally, we walked to the front of the room, and I felt that it was 8 o'clock in modern times.

'Is there anybody?' I shouted.

'Sister buckwheat, there doesn't seem to be anyone inside'

I nodded, "What then?" ’

"We have worked so hard to come here, we must not give up like this" "En" Xiyue nodded "We are waiting here, maybe someone has something to go out, and we will be back in a while"

'En,' Shigetsu agreed.

So, Xiyue and I sat in front of the door to rest; The sun was good during the day, but it was cold at night, and the cool breeze was blowing, and I was close to Xiyue, and I put my arm around her shoulders, hugging each other for warmth, but I fell asleep unconsciously.
