Adventures in Heaven Chapter 20 (Lost in the Mountains II)
Adventures in Heaven (novel) Zhang Baotong
It was getting darker, and the stream and stones in front of me were blurry. Suddenly, www.biquge.info princess did not step on her feet, and was slipped by the green moss on the stone, and fell into the stream. She climbed out of the water in pain, her dress soaked by the stream, and the water was dripping with water. Lifting the long skirt, bright red blood flowed from the broken knee. She gritted her teeth and didn't let herself cry. Because she thinks it's all her fault that we've gotten to this point. I walked over, took her hand off her knee, and when I saw a large break in her knee, the flesh was blurred, I crouched down and licked her wound with my tongue for a while, then tore a strip of cloth from my sleeve and tied her wound. The princess was so moved that she threw her face on my shoulder and sobbed. I didn't say anything, I just took her in my arms and hugged her. She was dragged by my hand, and there was a kind of indulgence and intoxication on her face that was cherished and loved.
Before the last light in the clouds faded, we finally walked out of the stream and up into a dense forest. In the dense forest, we judged that Yangcheon should be to the south of us based on the direction of the setting of the sun. So, we walked south along the meadow in the woods. The forest was very dark, and the moonlight could not penetrate it, and from time to time the roar of wolves or tigers and leopards could be heard in the distance, which made people very frightened. Hurriedly went up to the top of a low mountain, looked in all directions, only to see the forest and sea under the moonlight, the night was boundless, and the moonlight reached the place where it was pitch black for many miles.
The princess sighed and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go back tonight." I said dejectedly, "We're lost, we shouldn't have brought you here." But I knew that the more I was at this time, the more I could not be discouraged, and said, "But if you don't, I'm afraid you won't be able to experience this kind of predicament and adventure for the rest of your life." "To tell the truth, I am not surprised or panicked by what I am facing, for I have experienced far more difficult and difficult situations than this, but I am afraid that the princess will stay in the palace as an adult, and rarely travel, and will feel fearful and panic at such a sudden encounter, and how I should go back to the palace and explain to the king and queen in case there are three long and two short. What's more important is that the princess left the palace without permission and did not return overnight, what will happen to the king and queen when they find out?
Hearing me say this, the princess made an annoyed look and said, "You are making fun of me. Under the bright moon, her hair was a little disheveled, hanging down, drifting slowly with the evening breeze. Her countenance was melancholy and beautiful, and her eyes sparkled as if indulging in a longing anticipation. I held her face in my hand and gazed affectionately. She closed her eyes shyly and threw her face into my arms. We rested at the top of the mountain for a while, and when we saw that the mountains were covered in the deep darkness of night, we decided to find a place to rest first, and we had been walking for almost the whole day, and we really couldn't walk.
We walked towards the side of the leeward hill to find a place to spend the night. As we reached the side of the mountain, a large flock of frightened birds screamed and flew away in terror not far in front of us. We were startled at first, but immediately calmed down and rode in the moonlight towards the place where the birds had scattered. Two or three meters from the edge of the cliff, we found a low cave nest about two meters deep. I polished a match and went into the nest. The nest is covered with a layer of dry sand, and the sand is covered with the paw prints of birds.
I said to the princess next to me, "This place is nice, isn't it?" But the princess frowned and said, "How is this a place where people live?" I said, "No way, there is no comfortable inn in the deep mountains and old forests." As soon as I said this, she sat down on the ground, leaned against the edge of the cave, and gasped for breath. I came out of the cave, picked up some dry leaves and rotten tree skills in the forest, and made a fire at the entrance of the cave. The fire was lit, and the smoke was very strong, and when the wind blew, it poured straight into the hole, choking people to tears. I took off my damp clothes and roasted them by the fire with a tree technique, and then asked her to take off her dress and dry her. But the princess was a little embarrassed and refused to take it off. I told her that if you wore damp clothes, she would freeze and get sick, and that being sick would mean disaster. In fact, she had a blue nose all the time. After some persuasion by me, she also understood that getting sick at this time was a very troublesome and dangerous thing, so she took off her dress.
She sat by the leeward fire in her underwear. The light of the fire shone vividly and vividly on her face and body, giving her complexion a seductive rosy and radiance. I kept looking at her while I baked her dress. In the light of the fire, she seemed to be able to clearly feel the burning and touch of my gaze, but she didn't seem to be embarrassed anymore, but had a kind of expectation to show me and show off.
Before you know it, the night is dark, and the moon is moving in the starless clouds. Looking at the faint flickering light on the fire, I felt that my eyes could not be opened, so I yawned a long time, and said to the princess, "Let's sleep." The princess replied tiredly, and we shrank down into the cave. Extremely tired, the princess did not care about bird droppings and insects in the nest, so she put a stone under her head and fell asleep. To keep me warm, the princess and I almost fell asleep cuddled together. Although we were all sleeping, we couldn't sleep for a while. "If only I had something to eat," said the princess, "I wish I had something to eat." "My stomach is growling, but where do I go to find something to eat now? I pondered for a while, and said, "Bear with me, as soon as the morning dawns, I'll go pick some wild fruits, sweet and sour, and delicious." When the princess heard this, she closed her eyes and began to sleep. However, after a while, she turned over again and said, "I really wonder what will happen to Your Majesty now?" I persuaded her, "It's got to this point, it's useless to think about it more, let's sleep well, and I'll have to hurry tomorrow." But the princess said, "I don't know what Your Majesty will do with me when this happens." I leaned over and stroked her cheek with my hand, and said, "Don't worry, if His Majesty is really pursuing the matter, it will be said that I took you into the mountains." But the princess said, "No, I want you to take me into the mountains, and I am to blame." I fell on her cheek and kissed her, and said bluntly, "You are a princess, representing the image and dignity of the palace, and I am a wanderer who has strayed into heaven, and fame is not important to me." Then he pondered for a moment, and then said, "But I cannot let you be punished for me." I really wanted to sleep, so I said, "Forget it, let's go to sleep first, we have to go tomorrow." So saying, he rolled over and fell asleep.
The next morning, we woke up hungry. Looking around, looking for something to eat in the vast forest is like looking for a needle in a haystack. So, I thought it would be better to hurry up than to look for food here, because I wasn't sure about finding food here. The princess was hungry, but she was reasonable, and she went with me hungry. We walked in the direction we had identified, and as soon as we crossed the two peaks, white mist and thick clouds caught up from behind. We stood under a large tree to take shelter from the rain, but our clothes were soon drenched by the rapid rain showers. When the rain slowly subsided, we immediately rushed forward.
As she walked, the princess was so hungry that she couldn't walk. I knew that she had never suffered in this way since she had grown up in the palace, so it was distressing to see her weak, and I knew that she was resentful of me, for I had failed to fulfill the promise I had made to her last night to find her some wild fruits. However, I couldn't agree to let her stop, because I wasn't sure if I would be able to get out of the situation. I really don't know where to look for food in this towering forest. But to encourage her, I had to tell her that if she went any further, she would have something to eat. What I said was obviously just a guess to quench my thirst, but she was very serious about what I said. So, after walking all the way and still not seeing anything to eat, she asked me where I could eat. I had to smile apologetically, saying that I had to go forward, and when she heard this, she drooped her head as if she had been deceived.
