Chapter 34: The Secret Land of the World
Nahi woke up suddenly, and someone behind her was carefully supporting her, trying to take her off Dmitry's back, but her arms were already sore, and she was firmly around Dmitry's neck, and she couldn't be opened for a while, and the people next to her didn't dare to move anymore, hesitated for a moment, helped her to turn around, and moved to Dmitry.
Dmitry took it lightly, and wanted to lower down to catch the crook of her leg, but when he raised his eyes, he found that the little girl had woken up, and her eyes under the hood were misty, probably because of the stiffness of her limbs, and her delicate brows were slightly frowned, and she had not yet realized where she was. But when he saw that it was him, he closed his eyes again with trust, buried his head in his arms and yawned, rubbing his head, muttering that his arm hurts, and his expression is a rare love.
Dmitry felt only that every corner of his heart—nay, the whole heart—collapsed and melted in an instant, turning into a pool of warm and sweet springs, soothing every inch of his body softly; Then it rapidly deconstructs and collapses, turning into a bottomless black hole, greedily devouring everything, desperately trying to fall into the abyss with his rotten soul.
The thirst of the body had darkened the pupils, and the hunger in the heart had made the black pupils dark.
Dmitry couldn't bear to hold his girl tightly, and raised his hand to carefully rub her sore arm.
It was actually more uncomfortable to rub, and Naxi grinned in pain, and now she was completely awake.
"Is it uncomfortable?" Seeing her pained expression, Dmitry also frowned tightly and turned his head to call Carlisle.
"It's okay, the numbness of the hands will be like this, just slow down." Nahi took advantage of the strength to jump on the ground a few times, shaking his hands, still very confident in his strong recovery ability.
It was getting dark, it was dusk, and they were in the living room of a cottage, and Esme and Theo were cleaning the room and setting things up, and Carlisle, Bella, and Edward saw that she was in good spirits, and they were talking and laughing and walking away, and there were several hearty laughter from Emmett outside the window.
"Where are we?" Nahi asked curiously.
"The primeval forests of the U.S.-Canada border." Dmitry replied softly, still holding her cautiously.
Nahi walked outside curiously, and was instantly taken away by the beautiful scenery in front of her.
This is the real nature!
The rolling hills stretch to the junction of heaven and earth, gently and gently covered by neat and straight spruce forests, and on the other hand, steep and towering, revealing brownish rock walls in the greenery, and in the middle, a huge lake of emerald tourmaline and sparkling waves. Flocks of waterfowl fly by, leaving fleeting reflections on the mirror-like surface of the lake; Three or five moose drank water in the shallows, chatting their ears leisurely.
"Too... So beautiful! Nahi only felt that words were running out, and he couldn't find a better way to describe the shock at the moment.
"Nahi, are you hungry? Eat something to cushion first? If you want to barbecue, I guess you won't catch it until they've had enough. Esme walked over to Nahi with a steaming pizza and smiled at the boys who were rolling in the water in the distance.
"Huh? There's electricity here, too? Nahi just noticed the appearance of the house. Nestled between two hills on the sunny side, a natural sheltered hill, a two-storey wooden structure, triangular ridges and terraced terraces, and tall floor-to-ceiling windows, this is a modern mansion no less than Fox Villas.
"Although it is near the lake, there is not much rain, and it is sunny all year round, so it is very convenient for solar power generation." Carlisle walked up to Esme and smiled as she hugged her wife.
The reflective roof turned out to be solar panels, and the interior of the house was also fully furnished, and it was built in an isolated and secret place... Nahi couldn't imagine how much effort it would take.
"Actually, it's okay, it's just a bit expensive." Edward heard the exclamation mark in Nahi's head, and walked over to stand side by side, crossing his waist rather proudly: "There is still time, but the last thing we lack is time." ”
"We hadn't moved to Fox yet, and Rossley was going out for their honeymoon, or should we call it a honeymoon? Alice and Gaspar also traveled, and Esme and I had nothing to do and wanted to build a holiday here, like there is on Esme. Carlisle explained: "Of course, Edward was the main force. ”
It turned out that this was the case, Naxi was nibbling on the pizza, and he was still sighing in his heart, so vampires can be so wanton, and if they want ordinary people to come, they will definitely not be able to do it without a helicopter.
"There's no barbecue yet, but you can set up a campfire first." Lady Tio proposed, holding up the barbecue.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and went separately to collect firewood, and Nehi also wanted to help, but was stopped by Madame Tio, who urged Dmitry: "Take the little girl to play quickly, how can you get her for such a thing." ”
Dmitry responded: "Let them play, I'll take Nashi to catch the ingredients for the barbecue." ”
"Uh-huh!" It's interesting to catch it yourself, Nahi is full of anticipation, and goes to the tool shed to pull out the rope and basket to bring it, and the prey can't be brought back with his hands.
In fact, most of the meat of the beasts is too coarse to be grilled, and Nahi is aiming for small ones like fish, rabbits, and pheasants. But walking in the mountains and forests, there are thick tree trunks and dense shrubs, only the eyes are full of greenery, how can there be small animals.
There was an occasional rustling of grass, but before Naxi could turn around, there was no movement. I have the impression that hunting requires traps and bait, so can they really catch them empty-handed? The more Nahi walked, the more frustrated he became.
"Silly girl," Dmitry rubbed her head, forgetting that he was here. He could see the battle between the praying mantis and the lizard in the trees, the panicked eyes of the mountain mice in the grass, the shaking of the wings of the birds in the sky, and the painful and suppressed moaning of the mother leopard in the distance. The images and sounds are chaotic, but they are all crystal clear.
A few dodges, and Nahi's basket had a hare, a squirrel, and an unnamed bird.
Nahi: ......
So you're here to show off?
"What else would you like to eat?" Dmitry asked her with his hands behind his back, as if Nehi said Tyrannosaurus rex, and he could catch it casually.
"Ahem, no need, I can't finish eating all of this."
"Didn't you just say fish?"
Dmitry leapt off the edge of the cliff with her in his arms, and Nehi was so frightened that he clung to him and felt the muffled smile in his chest. Laugh... What are you laughing at, haven't you ever seen someone bungee jumping?
Landing smoothly, under the cliff is a pebble shoal, close to the blue water of the lake. Nahi cheered, took off her shoes and ran into the water. The rocky beach is warm by the sun, but the water is still cold, and the white feet walk among the smooth and round stones and the green and lovely water and grass, and are reflected by the lake.
"Nai... Hey..."There was a cry in the distance.
In the last rays of the sunset, Emmett lifted a large fish out of the water bare-chested, and the diamond-like glitter on his body and the reflection of the scales were so bright that it was impossible to tell which was brighter for a while, and Rosely was on the side, waving excitedly at them.
Come on, you don't even have to catch the fish yourself. Nahi waved in response, and lasagna flowed in her heart, if she continued like this, would her limbs degenerate?
The bonfire had risen, and everyone had returned to the front of the house. Mrs. Tio took the basket from Dmitry's hand and went to the dark to clean it up, so that Nahi would not see the bloody scene. Gaspar and Edward laughed and bet that they would race blindfolded through the dark woods for a while, and in the crackling firelight, each face was a light smile.
The fish was the first to hit the shelves, and was cut in half along the spine of the fish by Madame Tiou, sprinkled with salt and pepper, and drizzled with some beer, and the charcoal fire burned the fish fat, and the fish protein was rapidly denatured, solidified into a fragrant burnt white, and the skin shrank rapidly, becoming brown and crispy. The scent broke out of the cage and fled in all directions, scurrying into Nahi's nose, hooking out the worms, surging in the mouth, stimulating unbearable saliva.
"Huh... It's so fragrant. Nahi couldn't wait to get off the first chopsticks, and was so hot that she looked up to the sky and sighed. Although it is not rich in seasoning, the meat is tender, and the charcoal grill of the real campfire makes it easy to get the right amount of burnt aroma.
A fish with a round belly and lazily leaned on Bella, listening to the other people talking and laughing, only feeling satisfied and comfortable.
"Hey, Naihi, I heard you're going to perform at the Bumbershoot Festival?" Emmett is an avid rock lover who goes to several music festivals every year and is most excited about the news of Nahi's performance.
"I'm not sure yet, it's our school club that will go, and I may not be able to choose it."
"What are you going to perform? Let's take a look at it first, huh? ”
Fortunately, the family had not seen her dance, so Naxi got up and moved her hands and feet.
The crowd's faces were full of antiquity and love, and Rosley and Esme even held up their phones.
How do you look like a kindergarten parent who recorded a Children's Day performance for his children, uh... It's a bit embarrassing.
But when the music plays, all distractions disappear, and even the expression becomes enchanted, becoming one with the rhythm of the body.
"Wow~" Everyone looked at each other, erupted in amazement and applause, and in the whistles and cheers one after another, they actually felt that the mood was complicated, that delicate and soft little baby seemed to have really grown up, and could be so sexy and handsome, exuding a complex charm between a girl and a woman.
Dmitry was especially excited, his eyes were heavy, his cheeks were rolling, his hands were clenched tightly, and he wanted to take Nahi away immediately and hide it tightly, how could such a charm be shown to others, not his family.
At the end of the song, a slow ballad was played randomly, and Nahi gasped and stopped, and was pulled into his arms by Dmitry, his dark pupils reflecting the firelight, which was amazingly bright, as if he was going to melt the two inch by inch and turn them into one.
A teasing cough sounded next to him, and Nehi lowered his head embarrassedly, and gently refused, but Dmitry didn't let go, he just softened his eyes, held up one of Nexi's hands, and slowly shook his dance steps to the rhythm.
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect
I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight
The people around him gradually joined, they all heard their hearts from the song, in front of them is their beloved, it is a miracle given by fate, dear, you are so beautiful tonight.
