Extra 1
She was awakened by the chirping of birds and the murmuring of the stream, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a dense patch of foliage, and the sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, like broken specks flickering in her vision.
She could smell the scent of flowers and earth, and she loved the smell, a smell of life that made her feel alive. The only fly in the ointment was that she couldn't remember her name.
She lost her memory, she didn't know who she was, and she didn't know what had happened to her, but she always felt as if she had picked up a life from the ghost gate.
Sitting up, she looked around, and the closest to her was a clear stream that flowed from east to west. The end of the stream disappeared into the secluded forest, and the view was blocked by the dense trees.
She looked at herself, and the dress on her body was rotten into strips, as if the whole dress would tear apart if she pulled it hard. Despite losing her memory, she still has a woman's shame, and after carefully cleaning up, she finally covered some important parts of her body tightly.
However, the white arms and slender thighs are inevitably exposed, like the legendary savages.
The stomach has already begun to protest, the right foot is not felt, except for some abrasions, the rest of the body is fine. She stood up against a large tree, tried to walk a few steps, and then fell, but fortunately there was a thick grass under her, and it didn't hurt.
"You can't go like this...... A cane is required. She muttered to herself.
After looking around, she saw that there seemed to be a rather thick dead branch more than a dozen steps away, which was estimated to be usable, so she crawled over and picked it up, tried it, and it was not bad.
Where are you going? Normal people should go home at this time, right? But I don't even know who I am......
After some hesitation, she decided to walk along the stream, and when she came to the stream, she was startled to see her own reflection inside.
It's so dirty!!
Leaned down with great effort, hurriedly brushed away her loose hair, picked up the cool stream and slapped it on her face, the blood and mud were gone, and her true face appeared in front of her. This is a face that is not ugly, there is some heroism between the eyebrows, there is no feminine sense of weakness, it seems to be a very strong person, but the eyes contain some vicissitudes, and it looks a little old-fashioned.
is only 18 years old, how can there be a temperament that only a 38-year-old woman has...... Alas? I actually remember my age.
After a few sips of the sweet stream water, she felt even hungrier and had to find something to eat. As she walked, she searched for food, and there were no fruit trees and no fruits, and the stream was always shallow, and there were no fish swimming in it.
Instinctively, she felt that something flashed in the afterglow, and her eyes immediately locked on to the target, which was a big gray rabbit, fat, weighing seven or eight pounds! All sorts of delicacies made of rabbit meat immediately flashed in her mind, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva and stare at the rabbit with hungry wolf-like eyes, for fear of losing its traces.
"How do you catch it? It ran fast......" She searched around, and in a few moments, a palm-sized stone was held in her hand, "Stone it to death!" As soon as she thought of this, she had already made a motion to throw the stone, cleanly.
I saw that the stone flashed in my sight at a very fast speed, turning into a black afterimage and flying towards the rabbit. She was stunned by her beautiful and powerful movements, she turned out to be so powerful! Could this be...... Martial arts?
Unfortunately, the stone didn't hit the rabbit, perhaps because of the amnesia that affected her martial arts, so she missed. The rabbit was frightened and ran in a certain direction, and the next moment it hit its head on a thick stake, kicked on its hind legs, and did not move.
"Huh? Actually hit and killed? She covered her mouth and couldn't believe that there was such a good thing in the world, and she actually ran into a stupid rabbit! The rumbling stomach gave her no time to continue thinking about whether she was lucky or stupid, and she hurried in the direction of the rabbit with a branch, for fear that she had just walked in front of the rabbit, and the rabbit suddenly jumped up and made a face at herself, and then ran away without a trace!
Thankfully, the imaginary event did not happen, and the rabbit did hit and die. She grabbed the rabbit's ears and picked it up, and suddenly felt a burst of joy in her heart, so she laughed "hehehe".
If you don't die in a great calamity, you will have a blessing in the future......
The stomach kept yelling, "Hurry up and eat it!" I'm going to starve! But she looked at the rabbit and wondered, how could she cook it without flint? Sighing slightly, she continued along the creek with the rabbit in her hand, trying to think of a way to get the tinder.
"Huh? There's smoke ahead! Someone is making a fire? Through the forest, she stopped on the shore of a lake, and across the turquoise waters, a column of smoke rose straight into the sky, where a fire was raised, as if something was being roasted.
With fire, you can roast rabbit meat and eat it!
She excitedly took a few steps forward, and suddenly heard the hearty laughter of a man on the opposite side, and her steps immediately stopped. Reason drove hunger, and in this wilderness, she was a wounded weak woman in case she encountered a group of bad men...... Aren't you just like this stupid rabbit?
Biting her lip and slowly retreating, she hid her body behind a large tree and quietly observed the other side, and after a while, she got a general idea of the other party's situation.
A pair of boys and girls, both about sixteen or seventeen years old. The boy looks ordinary, but he has the same calm temperament as an adult, and he has strong hands-on ability, making fires, hunting, and cooking. treats his beautiful female companion extremely gently, and it seems that the relationship is very unusual.
The beautiful girl seemed to be a famous lady, and her words and deeds were very elegant, and most of the time she sat there quietly, smiling and watching the young man sweating profusely, and her eyes inadvertently revealed a different kind of tenderness.
…… That girl is so familiar...... Do I know her?
When she came back to her senses, she realized that she had come to a distance of less than a hundred feet from the two of them, and what the other party said was already clearly audible.
"This rabbit meat is so delicious!" The girl raised her smiling face, "The outside is scorched and the inside is tender, fat but not greasy, Han'er really hopes to be able to eat it every day!" ”
The young man laughed: "If Han'er wants to eat it, I'll make it for you every day!" After that, he tore off a piece of steaming rabbit meat and put it in the girl's hand, "It's still a little hot, eat it slowly." ”
Hiding in the shadows, she watched them feast on their feasts, her stomach growling even harder, she licked the corners of her chapped lips, and hesitated to go out to greet them.
"Wu Gongzi, you said that we escaped death, so will Mei Renwei and Yi Yue also survive?"
"We will be safe and sound if we have the protection of the crystal coffin, they ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to escape death. ”
"Itsuki died to save me......" The girl's eyes darkened, and she lowered her head and let out a slight sob.
The young man sighed, walked over and took the girl in his arms, and whispered comforting words, perhaps because they were too tired, the two of them just leaned on a boulder and talked, and after a while they hugged each other and fell asleep.
Asleep?
She waited patiently for a stick of incense, and then she cautiously leaned over, picked up a still burning wood from their fire, and looked back at the loving little couple, quietly retreating into the dark forest.
She didn't know why she didn't go out and be with them, she just felt that it was a little redundant to be caught between them, so let the two of them go alone.
I also ate a meal of roast rabbit meat, there was no salt, her craftsmanship was not very good, the appearance seemed to be unpalatable, and the taste was even worse.
"Burnt on the outside and tender on the inside...... she tore off the charred black skin and threw it away, "fat but not greasy...... looked at the flesh that was still dripping with blood, she smiled bitterly, and with difficulty ate the half-cooked and burnt rabbit meat, the hunger finally subsided a little, she sat on the tree and sighed, and suddenly envied the girl in her heart.
"If only someone could make me a delicious bunny like that boy." She sighed inwardly.
Not knowing where to go, she decided to settle down here, as the forest and lake would provide her with enough food and water. After a period of time, the foot injury gradually healed, and she was originally able to martial arts, so she slowly became more and more athletic, and it was easier to survive here.
Every now and then, she would quietly go to see the man and woman and see how they lived together. The boy named Wu Zheng seemed to be very knowledgeable, he could make stone tools, he could build simple wooden houses, he could identify wild plants in the forest, and he could raise rabbits...... He must have been a genius.
In addition to admiration, she began to imitate Wu Zheng and learn from him to make some things to use. When she built a shack for herself, she screamed with joy, and she no longer had to worry about the wind and rain.
The girl named Qian Xuehan is much more clumsy than Wu Zheng, and she seems to be unable to do anything except simply weave clothes.
Pampered...... She thought to herself.
Gradually, she developed a habit, after eating and sleeping enough, she would come to Wu Zheng and Qian Xuehan's cabin, she liked to hide in the dark and observe them, as if these two people were her little pets, without them, she would feel that she would be suffocated to death by boring life.
In fact, she had no malicious intent, it was just because she felt empty and lonely living alone, but she didn't want to deal with Wu Zheng and them, so she adopted this way to relieve her loneliness.
Although it gives people a feeling, it is a little perverted.
That night, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so she got up and came to Wu Zheng's cabin again. With her current skills, she can stand outside the window of the wooden house without being noticed by the people inside. She had planned to go back to sleep after a lap here, but when she came out the window, she suddenly heard voices inside.
It's a girl's gasp.
They...... Is it in ......
She has never experienced the affairs of men and women, but she still understands the things of walking the rivers and lakes all year round. As the sound inside grew louder and louder, her breathing became rapid, and her face burned hot, and she didn't have to look at her to know that her face must be very red.
No, I can't stay here!
She turned and scurried in a certain direction with a light effort, the sound of joy in the silence of the forest seemed to chase her, and she did not dare to stop for a moment. Leaning against a big tree, she gasped wildly, and felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat!
Actually, it's normal...... Lonely men and widows, dry wood and fire...... It's inevitable. She thought.
Just slept in a daze on the tree for a night, and when it was dawn, she suddenly heard Wu Zheng's voice calling Qian Xuehan, she jumped from tree to tree, chasing in the direction from which the sound came, and she began to worry about whether something had happened to them.
Wu Zheng wandered around the woods, and finally returned to the wooden house dejectedly. Hiding in the tree and observing all the time, she knew that Wu Zheng didn't find Qian Xuehan, where would this girl go? The two didn't just ...... last night How can you suddenly say goodbye without saying goodbye?
"It must be Qian Xuehan who is going to find that enemy to avenge her aunt," she had heard their conversation before, and secretly guessed in her heart.
Soon, Wu Zheng also packed up her things and left the cabin, she knew that Wu Zheng had gone to chase Qianxuehan, he must have been relieved that Qianxuehan could not be relieved.
"He loves Qianxue Han very much...... If only there was a man who cared so much about my safety. She began to envy Qianxue Han again.
The day after Wu Zheng left, she walked into their love hut for the first time.
The cottage was small and had no furniture except for two wooden beds separated by curtains made of leaves, which was a place to sleep. She sat on one of the beds, picked up a rabbit-like wood carving from the bedside and played with it, fantasizing about the two of them living here.
"Will they ever come back?" She felt empty in her heart, as if she had lost a close friend, "If they ever came back...... I'll join them and be friends with them. She made up her mind.
It's a pity that five years have passed and they have not returned.
In the past five years, the hut has been repaired several times by her, and vines have climbed up the walls to completely envelop the hut, gradually merging with the whole forest, without the slightest trace of artificiality. The vegetable patch and nursery in front of the wooden house have also expanded several times, and the number of plants has increased by many species, and the number of rabbits has increased from two or three to a dozen. She also raised a thrush, which spends her days chattering to add a little life to her monotonous life.
"Whew...... Tired. She straightened up from the vegetable patch, thumped her sore back, and looked up at the lake in the distance.
How are those two now? Are they still together? Will I ever see them again?
Alas? Someone!
She was keenly aware of two figures coming from the other side of the lake, and she subconsciously clenched the stick in her hand, until she saw the person clearly, she slowly let go of her hand, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.
The two men saw her too, and the man looked surprised, while the woman had already rushed over, crying and holding her and calling her name.
"Sister Izuki! It's great that you're alive! Qian Xuehan's tears wet the animal skin coat on her shoulders, she looked at Qian Xuehan blankly, and only raised her stiff arm to gently hug Qian Xuehan after a while.
Turns out my name is Izuki? So we've been friends for a long time...... It's just wonderful.
