Chapter 18 Three knocks

Just as the snake was about to attack Bai Weiying again, a sharp long sword swept over Bai Weiying's head, cutting the snake in two, and the blade sank into the trunk of the tree.

"When I woke up, I thought you had gone, and it turned out that you were here to play with the little animals."

Si Huazhen yawned, stepped on unhurried steps, walked to the trunk of the tree, pulled out his sword, picked up the half of the snake body by the way, and wrapped it in his hand.

"Why can't you get up yet? Let's go, it's getting late, these reptiles should be dispatched, it's not safe to stay in the mountains. After he finished speaking, he looked at Bai Weiying, who was still lying on the ground, and found that her face was pale.

"Let the snake bite?" Si Huazhen asked.

Bai Weiying nodded, speechless because of fear.

"It's okay, this one is not poisonous." Si Huazhen stretched out his hand to Bai Weiying.

Bai Weiying finally breathed a sigh of relief, took Si Huazhen's hand, and stood up again.

The two bathed in the afterglow of the sunset together, Bai Weiying took two steps with difficulty, and found that one foot hurt badly, Si Huazhen also found out, sighed, and squatted in front of Bai Weiying, revealing a back.

"What are you doing here?" Bai Weiying asked in surprise.

"What else can I do, do I wait here with you to feed the wolves?" Si Huazhen replied angrily.

Bai Weiying swallowed her saliva, this was the first time that a man other than Bai Wenwu had to carry himself.

She snuggled up to Si Huazhen's broad back and returned to the cave together.

Si Huazhen skinned the snake, washed the snake body with a pool of sediment for half an hour, and then stabbed the snake body with a branch and roasted it on the fire.

During the cleaning, Bai Weiying saw the snake body with only half of it wriggling between Si Huazhen's hands, looking frightened, and the thought of eating it later, suddenly lost his appetite.

"You...... How do you know I'm up the mountain? Bai Weiying asked curiously.

"First, if your family comes to you, you will definitely wake me up and go with you, so rule it out; Second, you must be hungry at this time, because I'm hungry too. Since you are hungry, going up to the mountain to pick wild fruits is the choice you will make. Si Huazhen patiently explained to Bai Weiying.

"So, what if I leave you behind and run away alone?" Bai Weiying asked.

"You wouldn't do that." Si Huazhen replied casually.

"Why?" Bai Weiying was really curious, she wanted to know what this man she had only seen once, but saved her twice, what she thought of herself in her heart.

"How can there be so many why?"

After Si Huazhen finished speaking, he reached into a small cloth bag around his waist and took out some white powder, and sprinkled it evenly on the roasted white snake meat.

"No." He handed the snake meat to the stunned Bai Weiying and said, "Eat it, it's cooked." ”

"I ......" Bai Weiying was a little flattered, because she felt that Si Huazhen should eat it by herself, she never expected that he would let her eat it first.

However, it is disgusting to eat that kind of wriggling reptile. The kindness could only be understood, and Bai Weiying replied: "The snake was caught by you and you ate it." ”

Bai Weiying had already calculated a few words in her heart, and was ready to blurt out at any time, in order to refuse Si Huazhen's kindness to give her snake meat to eat.

How did he know that Si Huazhen just let out an oh and began to eat snake meat.

Early the next morning, after a night's rest, when Bai Weiying woke up, she didn't feel that her fatigue had been reduced, on the contrary, the hard ground was extremely uncomfortable, so that she couldn't close her eyes until dawn.

Fortunately, the cave is warm because the campfire is burning all the time, and the clothes that have been rained yesterday have become dry and comfortable again.

Si Huazhen had already woken up early, and at the moment he was washing and peeling a rabbit opposite Bai Weiying, this time Bai Weiying did not refuse and ate a rabbit leg.

I have to say that Si Huazhen's cooking skills are really good, and Bai Weiying also understands what the white powder he sprinkled on the barbecue is - salt.

After eating, the two cleaned up and left the cave.

As soon as he came out of the cave, Si Huazhen pointed to a place and said, "If you follow the direction you came from, you can return to your family." ”

"What about you?" Bai Weiying asked curiously.

"I've got something." Si Huazhen said.

"But I sprained my foot, and I couldn't walk back alone." Bai Weiying lifted his feet, which were wrapped in wooden sticks and rags by Si Huazhen, looking pitiful.

"I can't delay my business." Si Huazhen said coldly, the meaning was very clear, and he didn't plan to send Bai Weiying back.

"Then I'll go with you, and when you're done, you'll send me back." Bai Weiying tapped his palm and said with a smile.

"Whatever you want." Si Huazhen said.

Bai Weiying was on crutches and limped behind Si Huazhen, who also took great care of her, slowing down and waiting for her to keep up with her pace.

The trip was not too far, only half an hour, and we arrived at our destination, in front of a tomb.

Above the grave, the grass was half a foot old, and it was obvious that it had not been tended for a long time.

In front of the tombstone is a piece of flat ground made of bluestone slabs, and from the gaps in the stone slabs, countless weeds are overgrown.

Si Huazhen put Bai Weiying aside, walked to the tombstone alone, knelt down, and kowtowed three times.

By the time the three rings were over, blood was oozing from his forehead.

Bai Weiying was silent, she limped to Si Huazhen's side, squatted down with difficulty, and asked, "Is this ......?"
