Twenty-four: Heming Mountain is in distress
The red glow is like fire, stretching half the sky. At this time, Hege walked into the mountain with Xu Qingxia with a cheerful pace.
Unlike Zhong Hao, Xu Qingxia never likes luxury, and he doesn't often bring people around, he is always simple. At this moment, he is also a person, only carrying flints, drinking water and other common objects, and then there is the soft sword at his waist that he never leaves - loneliness.
The first time He Ge saw this sword was at a banquet, Zhong Hao was drunk, and during the banquet, he asked Qingxia to come out and dance the sword to cheer up. He Ge actually disagreed very much with Zhong Hao's behavior of calling and drinking Qingxia like this. Xu Qingxia only obeyed his fate lightly. Empty-handed, he took the stage empty-handed, and after a few moves, he pulled out of his waist. Lonely out of the sheath, the cold light was dignified, and under Xu Qingxia's sharp sword moves, there was a whirring sound of slashing wind.
He Ge once asked Xu Qingxia why this sword is called "Lonely", Xu Qingxia only said: "This sword is a coming-of-age gift from a friend, and it has been used since it was received." From this, Hege knew that Xu Qingxia was really a person who missed the old.
The wish was granted, and Hege felt extremely happy. Because he was still angry in his heart, he didn't greet Zhong Hao with Ke before going out, what would happen? It's not like being ridiculed for liking bugs.
It had rained in the mountains, and the roads were a little muddy. The further you go, the more you have no road. Fortunately, Xu Qingxia has been careful to open the road in front, and when he encounters a slope and a cliff, he always pulls the lotus song intimately.
In the middle of the Heming Mountain, there are tall trees, and flowers and leaves are stacked. The huge foliage twists and turns, obscuring a large area of the sky. You can only see the half-hidden sunset through a gap in the leaves.
The mountains and forests are sometimes undulating with unknown insects, chirping in the corners, on the branches, among the flowers and leaves.
Layers of dead branches under your feet, stepping on them rattle. He Ge held the hem of his skirt with one hand, and held a thick branch that had been folded out of nowhere with the other, and followed behind Xu Qingxia with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
After walking for about half an hour, Xu Qingxia stopped and looked at the moon that had risen to mid-air, silently calculated the direction in his heart, turned his head and said, "It will be there in a while." As he spoke, he saw Hege laboriously pulling out the thick branches that had been trapped in the mud. A black hair rushed to his chest, and a emerald white hosta on his head hung dangerously on the edge of his hair, and with some force, he was about to slip out, looking a little embarrassed.
Xu Qingxia smiled dumbly, and when He Ge heard him speak, he looked up at him with a little surprise and asked, "Really?" Almost there? ”
Xu Qingxia nodded, walked over to Hege, reached out to help her straighten the hosta, and pulled the thick branches out of the mud pond. He smiled: "Turn around the mountain pass in front of you again, and you can see it." ”
He Ge wiped his face and replied with a smile: "It's closer than I imagined." Let's go. ”
Xu Qingxia was about to speak, but he heard a click in the forest in front of him, as if something was nearby. The sound was particularly clear in the silence of the forest. Xu Qingxia held Hege's hand a little nervously.
"Yes, what is it?" Hege's heart was also pinched. She originally only wanted to see the "Forget Worry Candle", but now the night is getting thicker, the mountains are deep and the forests are dense, and now she realizes that this is a barren mountain, how can there be no jackals, tigers and leopards? He Ge stared at the direction of the sound with some concern, and regretted that he didn't tell Ke and Zhong Hao before going out, in case something happened, Xu Qingxia was not affected by himself.
"Don't be afraid." Xu Qingxia's low and soft voice came, and He Ge felt that he was being hugged into a warm chest. She was a little surprised, and looked back sluggishly, Xu Qingxia was holding one hand on her shoulder, protecting her whole person in her arms, and the other hand was pressed on her waist.
"This forest is dense, and I can't say what," he said, leaning down into her ear, "but don't be afraid, I'm here." Let's walk quickly, after this forest is an open highland, relatively safe. ”
He Ge nodded obediently, and was pulled by Xu Qingxia and walked forward. This piece of forest is really very dense, at this moment, half of the moonlight can't penetrate it, Xu Qingxia is holding a small lantern in his hand, and the light is also small. He Ge looked around the dark with some panic, but he didn't pay attention to his feet, he was mixed by something, he suddenly lost his center of gravity, and rolled down, even with Xu Qingxia, the small light was extinguished.
He Ge rolled down a small slope in a daze, and when she came to her senses, a piercing pain came from all directions in her arms, wrists, and calves. She couldn't help but let out an "oops" when it hurt. This sound echoed silently in the dark woods, and only when He Ge got used to the pain did he react, but no one responded to the sound he had just made. What about Xu Qingxia who has always been by her side? She tried to call him a few times, but the voice came out, as if swallowed up by the night, and there was no response.
The surrounding area was covered by the thick branches and leaves of the trees, and there was no light, and the thick darkness of the night made people feel furious. He Ge sat in place in a daze, not daring to move, panicked and self-ordered, her heart was about to jump out of her chest. The more this time, the more you can't mess with yourself. He Ge tried to calm her mind, and she bit her lip until her lips turned white, and then gradually let go. No, he can't sit here and wait for death, let alone let Xu Qingxia get hurt again because of himself.
Enduring the pain all over his body, He Ge tore off the hem of his skirt and groped to bandage the abrasions on his body simply. He looked around for the thick branch and helped it to its feet. She looked around, it was pitch black, and the tumbling just now had already made her unable to distinguish between east and west, north and south. She had no choice but to choose a direction by feeling, limping forward, and whispering Xu Qingxia's name as she walked.
The surroundings were quiet, and even the sound of insects when they had just entered the mountain was gone. The more He Ge walked, the more furious his heart became, and his mind couldn't help but think of the abnormal movement he had just heard. Xu Qingxia once told a story, one year he went to darts, also in a forest, halfway through, suddenly quiet is not like words, all the birds and insects have disappeared, there is an old dart master in the dart team at that time, he reminded everyone to pay attention to the feet around, the wild originally noisy mountains and forests suddenly quiet, either there are fierce beasts nearby, or there are quagmire swamps. Sure enough, what they encountered was a lion. Fortunately, there were many people in the dart team that time, and the old dart master informed them in advance, and everyone was finally in danger. Right now, when He Ge remembered this story, it was dark and silent as far as he could see, and his heart was even more panicked.
She stumbled for a quarter of an hour, looked up and saw about two points of light in front of her, and her heart immediately ignited hope, and she was about to speed up her pace towards the point of light, but she felt someone cover her mouth from behind, and before she could react, he grabbed her waist with one hand, took her in his arms, and turned around and flashed behind a big tree.
