Chapter Seventy-Six: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe
I was lucky, and after bypassing a few large trees, I could already see sparkling in the distance hidden by the trees. I squatted down and slowly slid down the dirt slope, but just as I was about to fall to the ground, I still tripped and fell.
The wound on his foot seemed to hurt a little more. I didn't bother to check it, so I quickly stood up and continued to walk forward. After a while, the large turquoise lake was already in view.
Towering mountains stand on both sides, interspersed with a large meandering blue waves, and the scenery of lakes and mountains is breathtaking. I leaned over and saw that the water was crystal clear. I took a small bite, and the cold sensation ran down my throat to the bottom of my heart, sweeping away the sweltering heat of early summer.
I drank some and scooped some larger leaves to bring to him. Probably because of my technique, after not taking a few steps, the water on the leaves had leaked a lot, and only a few drops of the constantly shaking water balloon were still making a final struggle.
I've tried a few times but nothing has come off, so I'm going to bring him here.
When I went back, I picked a few more red wild fruits, which tasted sweet and sour, and although they could not be wrapped in the stomach, they could also be used for a while.
When I brought back the food I had gathered, he was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed. I guess I heard footsteps, he opened his eyes alertly, and a murderous aura flashed in his eyes, so frightened that I shuddered and rolled the wild fruit in my hand to the ground.
"I've only found these foods nearby, so let's put them on first." "As I spoke, I picked up the fruit from the ground, put it on my clothes, and wiped it before handing it to him.
"What's wrong with your face?" He didn't take the fruit, but reached out and stroked it on my cheek. I was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "It's okay, it may have been pricked by a branch when I picked the fruit just now, you can eat it quickly." After speaking, he shook the fruit in his hand in front of his eyes.
He was silent for a long time before taking it, holding it in his hand and not eating, just staring at me. Seeing that he didn't eat it, I grabbed a fruit and took a bite of it, and the sweet and sour juice seeped into my tongue again, causing me to bite a few more times.
"Look, it's not poisonous." I happily chewed on the fruit, and then told him the news of the large lake I had just discovered.
"Thank you for your hard work." I tried to ignore the way he looked at me, and just as I was talking about a great pleasure, he suddenly said something.
"Huh?" I turned my head to look at him, only to see his thin lips slightly open, and a deep voice continued to come from inside: "Ah Yuan, do you hate this seat?" ”
I opened my mouth, not knowing how to answer the question. Since I knew his true face, I didn't know how to call him anymore, every time I wanted to call him Master, I felt very awkward, and when I wanted to call him Wangye, I felt more awkward than calling Master, and I found that I couldn't find a suitable title for him.
"Hate?" He asked again. I lowered my head and pondered for a while: "What do you hate?" Persecute me to be your apprentice? Or do you always put me in danger? With that, I looked up at him with a smile.
"You've always been so smart ......" He shook his head with a wry smile, and his voice became deeper and deeper: "How nice it would be if you weren't you." The last word turned into a deep sigh. After listening to it, I felt that this sentence was a bit informative, and when I wanted to ask again, he had already kept his posture as it was, closed his eyes and refreshed. I had no choice but to shut up and continue to eat the fruit.
The fruits that had been picked for him ended up in my stomach, and although they looked small, they were very filling. When I had finished eating, I moved around with one foot and found a thick branch to make my new cane.
He kept his mind until the afternoon when he opened his eyes, and the first thing he said was, "I'm hungry." "I think he must have deliberately made trouble, he didn't eat so much fruit he picked just now, and now he says that he is hungry, obviously just to fix me.
I replied angrily, and continued to look for food for him with my cane. This search led to the evening, because this time I not only picked fruit and some wild mushrooms, but also accidentally ran into two rabbits. Under normal circumstances, catching rabbits would not be difficult, but unfortunately I am now a disabled person, so it will take some effort.
Fortunately, I had studied martial arts, and it only took me a while to knock the two rabbits unconscious. I limped back to him with the rabbit in my hand, pointed at the rabbit and said, "Now, this is for you, but I can't bear to kill them, if you want to eat meat, you can do it yourself." ”
With that, I had thrown the rabbit in front of him and sat aside. I thought he would order me to kill them, but he looked at the two rabbits, and lightly told me to find some dead branches, and when I came back with them, he had slaughtered them, and there was not a drop of blood on the ground.
"What are you doing stupidly? Come on! "He didn't look at me, and stuffed the mushrooms into the rabbit's belly, and I don't know where he got two branches, one with a rabbit stuck in it, and waited for me to roast it on the fire.
Speechless, I walked over, put down what I was holding, and picked up the fire fold and lit them. He skillfully set up a shelf and put two rabbits on it, and after a while the aroma overflowed, causing my mouth to water.
As the white heat continues to churn upwards, the aroma of rabbit meat has become stronger and stronger. I sat on the sidelines and stared at the red-roasted rabbit on the fire, and swallowed.
"Want to eat?" He shook the roasted rabbit meat in front of me, and I nodded vigorously, my eyes shaking with the shaking of the rabbit meat.
He bent the corners of his mouth, took the rabbit meat out of front of me, and bit it lightly, I could already feel the smooth juice flowing into his mouth between his teeth, and the extremely fragrant meat played with his teeth.
Since this rabbit is already his, the rest must be mine. My hand had already reached out, and when I was about to reach it, the big palm snapped my hand open.
"You have to save a little food in the wild, you have eaten so much fruit today, you should save this meat for tomorrow." His voice sounded languid, but I knew it was satisfaction after eating.
I snorted lowly, thinking to myself that he was obviously trying to occupy the meat and not let me eat it, this was obviously the fruit of my labor, how did it end up being his?
I was very unconvinced, but I had no choice but to swallow my anger and ignore him. I don't know how long I was stunned, but the sleepiness made my eyes gradually close.
In the middle of the night, I woke up suddenly. Seeing that there was no one around me, I thought that he had been bitten by some wild beast, and I panicked in my heart, and hurriedly got up to look for it.
As I walked, I walked to the shore of the sparkling lake. At this time, the moonlight reflects the lake into a large mercury mirror, and the surrounding mountains are stacked on top of each other, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
