CH.27 Vigil

"Is Weasel fur valuable?" Shafi asked, looking at the corpse of the Weasel on the ground.

"A complete fur is about one silver coin, and a broken one can probably sell for dozens of copper coins." An Rui thought for a moment and replied.

"That's just a little money." Sophie looked disappointed, losing interest in the Weasel carcass, "I hate this fart monster, and I don't want to touch its fur if it's worth a fraction of the money." ”

"If you don't want to touch it, leave it to me. The scarves, belts, and gloves made of Weasel fur are all beautiful, and I wanted to get a Weasel skin to make something for you, you will definitely like it. An Rui shrugged his shoulders and rummaged through the many weasel corpses for a while, finding a relatively intact corpse and carrying it in his hand.

Sophie blinked, her eyes fell on the ferret's fur, and found that the fur was snow-white, smooth and supplied, and indeed quite beautiful, so she didn't stop An Rui.

An Rui pulled out the dagger, used the dagger to peel off a piece of Weasel fur, wrapped it in cloth, and put it in the package.

The battle with the Weasel didn't take much time, but it took a lot of time after the battle, and by the time the two of them packed up everything and hit the road again, it was already half an hour later.

There was still a lingering fog ahead, thick as substance. The half-dead trees looked almost identical, not much different, like a swarm of multiples. No matter how far the two of them walked or wherever they went, it seemed as if they were standing still.

There is no noticeable change in the surroundings, nothing more than fog and trees, nothing more.

Shafi had been skeptical about this, and she always felt like she was spinning in place and not moving forward.

Anrui reassured and assured that they had been moving towards their goal and had not taken the slightest wrong path.

He is still very confident in this matter, in his previous life, he had been here dozens of times, he knew the path here well, and he would never go wrong.

The path the two of them took now was a carefully chosen shortcut, short and cleverly avoiding the weasel nests. If you choose to take a different path, you will not only take a long detour, delay time, but also be more dangerous.

"Stop." Halfway through, An Rui suddenly raised his hand and stopped the female companion beside him, "Look there." He pointed to the land not far away.

"Did you meet the Weasel again?" Sha Fei immediately raised her vigilance, narrowed her eyes slightly, and her gaze became sharp. However, her vigilance was superfluous this time, and there was no sign of a weasel in front of her, and some were just a small grass.

It is a special little grass, three inches long, with diamond-shaped leaves, which are pale white rather than green.

"This is the Fog Grass Grass, a special plant that can only grow in an environment inhabited by Fog Weasels. The blades of the weasel have a refreshing effect, and they are also the main ingredient of several potions, and they are very valuable, more valuable than the fur of the weasel grass. Misty Grass is the most valuable thing in the Misty Forest, and many adventurers come to the Misty Forest to pick this herb. An Rui made an introduction, walked to the side of the Fog Hidden Grass, leaned down, and looked at this strange white grass up close, "The purpose of our coming here is not to pick the Fog Hidden Grass, but since we have seen it, of course we can't let it go." ”

He uprooted the fog weed, removing the roots, leaving the rest behind. He plucked one of the leaves, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it a few times.

"It's astringent, it's not delicious." He spat out the half-eaten blades of grass to the ground and looked up at Shafi with a smile, "Would you like to taste it too?" ”

Sophie nodded, and tasted a blade of grass as well, and instead of spitting it out, she chewed it for a short time.

"Familiar taste, it looks like I ate this blade of grass before I lost my memory." A gloomy look flashed in Shafei's eyes. She was happy most of the time, but when she thought about the lost memories, her heart still welled up with sadness.

Anrui was reluctant to talk to Shafi about memories, so he quickly diverted the topic and talked about other things, telling two jokes to amuse Shafi by the way.

On the way after that, the two encountered some weasel one after another, but the number was not many, sometimes one or two, sometimes three or five, and they did not encounter the large group of weasel as before. The sporadic Weasel posed no threat to the two of them, and they were easily dealt with, and An Rui also easily peeled off another piece of more intact Weasel fur.

Time passed quietly as the two of them moved forward, like sand flowing through their fingers. The forest grew darker and darker, and the night here came earlier than outside, and the fog and trees obscured the sunset, plunging the place into darkness early, as if swallowed by the maws of a giant beast.

As night fell, the woods became more restless, and more noises came around, among them the chirping of insects, the chirping of birds, the roar of beasts, and the low cry of the wind.

"It's getting late, let's camp here and rest. At night, even if I can't find the way and it's easy to get lost, it's better to sleep honestly. Anrui paused, looked around his surroundings, and suggested.

After Shafi lost her memory, she always obeyed An Rui's words and did not raise any objections.

The two went their separate ways, one collecting twigs and the other setting up tents, and worked for a long time in the dimming wilderness.

By the time the two of them had finished their dinner, it was already late at night, and the woods were out of sight. Fortunately, the two of them have glass lamps as lighting, which is enough to dispel the darkness and win a land of light.

The night in the woods is very uneven, and someone needs to keep vigil, and two people cannot sleep at the same time, so they can only sleep in turns. As a "gentleman", An Rui naturally had to give up the priority of sleeping to Sha Fei and serve as the night watchman in the first half of the night.

Anrui sat at the door of the tent and placed the glass lamp beside him for lighting. The glass lamp resembles a gourd, with a large belly, and the wick inside draws ample kerosene, emitting light and heat.

By the light of the light, Anrui opened a book called "Captain's Instructions", read it with relish, and learned about navigation between the lines. Although he has the experience of his previous life, there are still discrepancies between the game and reality, and he still has to learn the skills of navigation from scratch, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight.

There was the sound of loose clothes untying from behind, presumably Shafi undressing in the tent.

This voice evoked some associations that An Rui shouldn't have, which made him feel a little uneasy. He pressed the book in his hand, tilted his head slightly, and glanced behind him.

There was another glass lamp inside the tent, and under the illumination of the light, Shafi's body formed a black silhouette, which was printed on the tent, outlining a beautiful outline. The slightly curly hair was like a trembling wave, the neck was long and slender, the chest had a round curve, and the waist was only a hand.

I saw this graceful figure slowly take off his shirt and take off the first layer of protection on his body, revealing the tight underwear inside, outlining the curves more clearly.

What happens if I keep taking it off?

It must have been more beautiful when I thought about it, but unfortunately Sha Fei didn't do that, but stopped her hand, lay down directly, and blew out the glass lamp. The lights dissipated, and so did the beautiful silhouette.

An Rui looked at the dim tent with unfinished eyes, and after a while, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze and continued to read the book in his hand. The scene just now lingered in his mind, lingering, making it difficult for him to concentrate, and after a long time, he drove away those thoughts that he shouldn't have and focused all his attention on the book.

Time passed, the stars changed, and there was no danger during this period, and no monsters came to harass An Rui and the two.

According to the plan, it should be Shafei's turn to keep vigil now, but Anrui did not rush to wake Shafei, but continued to bury his head in reading. This will allow Shafi to sleep a little longer, and he will be able to read a little more.

After another half hour or so, the sleepiness became more and more intense, and An Rui yawned several times in a row, a little unable to hold on. He didn't want to fall asleep in a daze, it would be too dangerous, so he took out the misty grass he had picked during the day, plucked a leaf, and put it in his mouth to refresh his mind.

After a while, the effect of the medicine was exerted, and a refreshing feeling spread through An Rui's mind, which made him feel excited and drove away the previous sleepiness. I have to say that the medicinal effect of this fog hidden grass is really remarkable.

Relying on the help of the Fog Hidden Grass, An Ruiduo persevered for several hours and stayed up until the second half of the night.

The night was getting thicker, and the darkness before dawn was so deep that it was like ink smearing the entire world, and even the starlight was dim.

An Rui took out his pocket watch, checked the time, and found that there were less than three hours left until dawn, and it was time to get some sleep. The technology of this world is in its infancy, and gadgets such as telescopes and pocket watches have been invented, but there are no more advanced technological products yet.

"Shafi, wake up, it's time for us to change shifts and go to bed." He leaned back and tapped the tent a few times with his hand.

There was a quick response from inside the tent, and the sound of Shafi yawning and stretching could be heard. She lay in bed for a while, sobered up a bit, and then asked, "What time is it?" ”

"It's three o'clock in the morning." An Rui replied.

"Why is it so late? Didn't you say that you would change shifts at twelve o'clock? Shafi's voice looked a little surprised.

"I want you to sleep a little longer."

There was silence in the tent, and after a few moments, Shafi's voice came out again: "Actually, you don't have to take care of me like this. ”

"It's nothing, it's as a man should take care of a woman." An Rui said indifferently.

There was silence in the tent again, followed by the rustling of clothes. After Shafi got dressed, she lifted the curtain of the tent and climbed out of it. Probably grateful to An Rui for letting her sleep a little longer, she looked at An Rui's eyes with obvious changes, a little more softness.

Since it was a shift to sleep, the two only set up a tent, and then it was An Rui's turn to go in and sleep. Anrui climbed into the tent and found that the blanket still had Shafi's body temperature remaining, and it was very warm to lie on it, as if she was lying in someone's warm embrace.

At dawn the next day, the two of them refreshed their spirits and embarked on the journey again, advancing towards the depths of the misty forest.

When she was halfway there, Sha Fei seemed to hear something special, her ears moved slightly, and she stretched out her hand to stop An Rui beside her, reminding: "There are a lot of footsteps on the other side, someone should be coming." ”
