The old man was a little uneasy about my proposal, and he said, "You are not familiar with this place either, can you walk like this??" ”

"It's already going to be dawn, you just said that we can go down this road, then there should be no problem, you didn't go back this night, your wife must be very worried at home, she is incapacitated, you go back to take care of her first, we will have a signal when we walk to the road, and we will be able to contact friends when the time comes, you can rest assured." I comforted him to reassure him.

The old man listened to my words and looked at the hut over there, probably remembering his wife who was still at home, and now he was a little hesitant, and when he saw that the old man began to be embarrassed, I said again: "Uncle, you can rest assured, there is only such a little way left, we can go by ourselves." ”

"Alright then, boys, you need to be safe." The old man hesitated for a moment but agreed.

After the old man said this, he walked down a side path to the house, and his steps were a little anxious, and he must have thought about his wife who was lying on the bed and had difficulty moving.

Watching the old man walk down, I said to Chu Yan who was standing next to me, "Let's go." ”

Chu Yan retracted her gaze and walked in the direction that the old man said before, and I followed her.

If you keep going down, you can walk to the road, but there is no one on this hill all year round, so there is no road, although there are no tall trees, but there are many weeds, some of which are already above the knees.

At this time, it should be four or five o'clock in the morning, there is a lot of dew on the weeds, and it is inevitable that it will rub on the pants when walking from the middle, and after walking for a while, the pants below the knee will be rubbed by the dew and a little wet.

I walked in the deep grass, Chu Yan followed me and followed my footprints, and almost stepped on my shoes, I looked back at her helplessly.

She looked at me innocently, and I asked, "What are you doing here??" ”

Chu Yan lowered her head and looked at the surrounding grass and said, "Will there be a snake in here?" ”

I looked at the grass at my knees, and felt that her worries were not unreasonable, this kind of deep grass is the place where snakes like to haunt, maybe you will step on it as soon as you step down, this ghost place, if you are bitten by a poisonous snake, it is really a place that the earth is not spiritual.

"Possibly." I hesitated.

Chu Yan listened to my words and became more and more afraid to leave, her expression looked a little scared, and said, "Then what should I do??" ”

I stood there and looked around, and when I saw a stick not far from my feet, I picked it up and said to her, "It's okay, let's just use this to find the way." ”

As I spoke, I poked the grass in front of me with a wooden stick, and when I saw that there was nothing wrong, I took a step forward, and then turned back to Chu Yan and said, "Let's go, that's it." ”

Chu Yan glanced at me with admiration in her eyes, and then walked behind me, and with each step after that, I poked forward with a wooden stick.

The sky is getting brighter and brighter, Chu Yan and I haven't reached the foot of the mountain yet, when we stand on the top of the mountain, we can still see the road below, but when we walk to the middle of the mountain, we can't see it, and when we look at it, it feels that this distance is not far, but in fact, it is very far.

I think we have walked for a long time, but we can't see the road down the mountain, and when we look back, we can only see the part of the road we just walked, and the weeds on that section of the road are all traces of being trampled, which looks very obvious.

And after walking for so long, my legs have no strength anymore, and they are still sour, do the math, we have been walking for four or five hours, it was dark before, I couldn't see the road clearly, I didn't go far after walking for so long, I thought that I could move faster at dawn, but I had no strength.

I turned my head to look at Chu Yan, who had been following me without speaking, her long wavy hair was tied at random behind her head, and the broken hair on her cheeks was still a little messy, she lowered her head and looked at the road under her feet seriously, and saw that I was walking in front of me and did not move, so she raised her head and looked at me suspiciously.

"Why don't you leave??" She asked.

"A little tired, aren't you tired??" I asked, standing in front.

Chu Yan blinked, and didn't say that she was tired, but I saw tiredness on her face, too, after walking for so long, she didn't rest, and she would be tired if she was alone.

I'm a man, I'm used to walking this kind of mountain road, and now I feel weak in my legs and feet, not to mention a delicate woman like Chu Yan who has been living in the metropolis, considering this, I said: "Why don't we rest here." ”

Chu Yan didn't refuse, I saw that there was a big stone not far away, so I walked in the direction of the stone and said to Chu Yan: "Let's go to that stone and sit down, rest for a while and then go." ”

After walking for a short time, my pants were already soaked through the weeds, and the wetness stuck to my legs, making my legs and feet feel heavier.

I walked over to the big rock and sat down, crossed my legs, and sure enough, I saw that my pants below my knees were wet, and I could still wring out the water when I stretched out my hand and twisted it.

Turning his head to look at Chu Yan, he found that her situation was similar, and she also lowered her head at the moment, silently sorting out the water on her pants.

"Chu Yan, is what you just said on the top of the mountain true??" I looked at her and asked.

Chu Yan looked up at me inexplicably, and didn't react to what I was talking about for a while: "Huh?? ”

"Helping his wife heal." I explained.

"Otherwise, do you think I'm just talking??" She asked rhetorically.

"No, I just can't figure out why you're doing this." I was curious.

"As you said, in order to repay the favor, isn't that also what you think in your heart." She lowered her eyes and said, I couldn't see the emotions in her eyes clearly.

"How do you know what's going on in my heart??" I asked, confused.

"Guess." Chu Yan replied very perfunctory, and I saw that she didn't want to say more, so I didn't ask again.

"Okay, let's get on." After a while, I spoke.

Chu Yan didn't speak, just stood up silently, I always felt that her state was a little weird, but I couldn't tell what was strange.

Chu Yan and I continued to walk down the mountain after resting, the more we walked, the more we walked, we couldn't walk, we hadn't eaten for two days, plus we had walked all night, all the strength we had saved before was used up, and we didn't drink water all night, and both of us were exhausted at this time.

Our speed gradually slowed down, and the steps under our feet also subconsciously moved forward, although I was getting more and more tired, but I didn't dare to say anything about resting, if I rested again, I might really not want to move later.

Chu Yan's pace also slowed down significantly, she only took one step when I walked two steps, and when I looked back, she was already five or six meters away from me, but she never asked me to wait for her.

I stopped, ready to wait for Chu Yan to follow before leaving, I just watched her take two steps, but I saw her suddenly slip under her feet, and the whole person fell to the ground, and rolled down several meters.

I was startled, and then hurriedly walked to the place where Chu Yan fell, she was lying on the ground in embarrassment, her face was stained with some weeds, and she looked very pitiful.

"Are you alright?" I walked over to her and asked.

Chu Yan obviously didn't react, she was all a high-ranking boss Fan in front of us, when had she been so embarrassed, but in just a few days, she was afraid of heights, afraid of snakes, and even fell and rolled on the ground twice, all of which were seen by me, the person who bullied her.

This everything made Chu Yan a little annoyed, and with some grievances, she pushed away my hand to help her up, got up stubbornly, and said stiffly: "It's okay, I can get up by myself." ”

I was a little inexplicable to see her like this, thinking that I didn't recruit her to provoke her, or was it wrong to help her up?? Why did you throw a face at me again.

I haven't been there for so long, and I'm a little annoyed in my heart, Chu Yan didn't want to coax her when she shook her face at this time, and let her struggle to get up by herself.

Because the grass on the ground is full of dew, it is very slippery, and if you are not careful, you will fall and slide down, Chu Yan was like this just now, she lay on the ground, climbed twice with her hands and feet, but failed to stand up, but stepped on her feet again, and fell heavily to the ground.

Even so, Chu Yan didn't ask me to help her, I simply didn't look at her, turned my head to look down the mountain, all I saw were weeds and dead branches, and I couldn't see the road at the foot of the mountain at all, if it wasn't for the old man just now who affirmed that I could find it from here, I would have thought that what I saw on the top of the mountain just now was an illusion.

Chu Yan fell down this time and didn't move for a while, I also sensed that something was wrong, retracted my gaze to look at her, and found that she was sitting on the ground with a painful face, biting her lip.

"What's wrong??" Seeing her painful look, I hurriedly crouched down and asked.

She didn't speak, just pressed her ankle with her hand, I followed her gaze to her ankle, and found that her ankle was sprained, and it was swollen high, like a steamed bun.

"Hurt??" I asked.

She bit her lip and didn't speak, her face still aching, and I sighed, put my hand on her ankle, and lifted it slightly.

There was a "hiss" sound in my ears, and it disappeared immediately, I glanced at Chu Yan and found that her brows were furrowed in pain.

"I guess it's twisted." I took a closer look and said.

Chu Yan's face turned pale in pain, I took off her shoes, held her ankles, and moved very lightly, she couldn't help but cry out in pain: "It hurts." ”

It hurts like this with a slight movement, it seems that the injury is not light, I put down her ankle and retracted my mind to help her correct it, after all, I am also a half-person in this regard, I have only seen others twist the injured person's ankle back into place, I really don't dare to let me come, not to mention that this person is still Chu Yan.

If I hadn't picked her up properly, and the injury would have become more serious, she might have thought that I had done it on purpose, and then I couldn't tell with ten mouths, who would let us still have hatred.

I looked at Chu Yan's swollen ankles like steamed buns, I had a headache, the two of them were exhausted, and now she was still injured, looking at the foot of the mountain where I couldn't see the head at a glance, what should I do? ?

It seems that Chu Yan will definitely not be able to leave in this state, I can't leave her here alone, although I still have some grievances with her, but I really can't do this kind of thing.

I hesitated for a while before squatting down in front of her and said helplessly, "Come up." ”

Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, the pain on her face disappeared, and she asked hesitantly, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"You don't want to go?? If you want to go, you can get on my back, and if you don't want to go, then I'll go by myself. I said impatiently.

As soon as I finished saying this, I heard a rustling sound from behind, and then a warm body lay on my back, Chu Yan seemed to be really afraid that I would leave her alone here, and after she climbed on my back, she couldn't wait to stretch out a pair of small hands around my neck.

I lifted her leg up and made sure my back was stable before slowly walking down the mountain.

Originally, our speed was slow enough, Chu Yan was injured again, and I walked even slower with her on my back, almost moving forward mechanically step by step.

Chu Yan held the wooden stick I held before, lying on my back and poking it forward with the wooden stick, I looked for the traces of her wooden stick and walked forward, occasionally I could feel her warm breath spraying behind my ear, tickling.

Neither of us spoke anymore, and walked forward in silence, I was too tired to have the extra strength to speak, and I didn't know the reason why Chu Yan had been silent, and I didn't want to ask.

"Lu Yan." Chu Yan's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"What's wrong again??" I asked sullenly.
