Thousand Thousand Knots: Chapter 69: Sleeping in the Savage Cave
The middle-aged man looked at the direction in which the two had disappeared, and tears seemed to glisten in his eyes.
A boy with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes ran over holding a red wild fruit and asked, "Uncle, is my sister a bad person?" ”
"No, a good girl."
"And you're still shooting her at gunpoint?"
"Uncle wants to see if she is really willing to sacrifice herself for others as you said."
"She will! If she hadn't saved me, I would have been strangled to death by the serpent. ”
"To be a man, you must be grateful and reciprocate. My sister saved you, and if you have the opportunity in the future, you must repay her well. ”
"I will."
"Let's go back with your dad, uncle go dig some mushrooms and give you stew to eat at night." The middle-aged man found a sharpened stick, carried a tattered bag, and burrowed into the woods where the fiery red fox had disappeared.
A few hundred meters away from the woods, Xiao Duxue hugged the tree and gasped. Fu Xuefeng's face was as usual, tearing leaves and playing. Xiao Duxue envied his confusion and didn't know the severity, and on the other hand, she longed to change his normal nerves. "Scared the hell out of me! I'm really afraid of what's coming, we almost confessed here. ”
"No, it won't. There I am. ”
"It's useless to have you, you're not as powerful as a musket. You, if you encounter danger in the future, you can run if you can, and hide if you can. You're okay, so I can rest easy. ”
"No, I can't. Protect Twilight. ”
"I don't need your protection. Anyway, the guy who gave me water to drink is quite familiar! Where have I seen it? Where is it...... At...... Wanted! Xiao Du covered her mouth, for fear that if she was too loud, she would attract someone.
Fu Xuefeng tilted his head, his face full of doubts.
Xiao Duxue didn't bother to explain, and climbed up the mountain: "Speed up, let's chase the big army." Vaguely hearing someone's voice, she didn't care about it, she opened her voice and called the leader's name. The other party heard her shout, and also asked in a loud voice. The two sides quarreled like a question, and it took a few times back and forth to hear who was who. By the time the two groups regrouped, it was already dark. The two senior sisters hugged Xiao Duxue and jumped and screamed, talking about everyone's worries and anxieties after they were separated.
Xiao Duxue thanked and apologized for her mistakes, and didn't say a word about the fox and the gun.
The team leader raised his voice and said, "The front is where we are camping, everyone work hard, and then rest." ”
The crowd cheered and scrambled to climb up. I didn't climb far, I stopped. In front of me was a coiled cluster of wild vines that stretched for hundreds of meters, and the vines were covered with hard thorns, and there was no way to settle down.
If there is no road, how can you get there?
The leader of the team pointed to the hole under the vine and said, "Climb in from here." ”
"Isn't it? How do you climb this? ”
"Yes. This vine is so dense, there must be snakes and small animals in it, it's too dangerous! ”
When the two senior sisters heard that there was a snake, their faces turned white.
Xiao Duxue said: "The smell of this vine is extremely annoying to snakes, and where there is it, there will be no snakes." As for small animals, there should be no them, and if they are, they will not pose a danger. ”
"Sure enough, well-informed!" The team leader boasted. "It's not for nothing that the seniors chose this place to camp. The Savage Cave is surrounded by vines, and large beasts and snakes can't get in, so it's very safe. I'm scouting the way ahead, and you follow me, so don't be left behind. He carried his bag and crawled forward. Although everyone is worried, there is nothing they can do, only
I can crawl like him. When I climbed in, I found that the inside was quite spacious, not as difficult and narrow as I imagined.
The light is very dark and the surrounding environment is unknown. The scent of the vines weaves like a web, spreading the colors of the night in front of you. Everyone wanted to climb to the end as soon as possible and leave the darkness in front of them.
Xiao Duxue remembered the thorny road leading to the wild maple forest, Ye Hanchuan, and many, many past events that she couldn't forget. I haven't seen him for a long time, is he okay? What else does he do? Now he and I have no possibility to face each other. However, I still hope that he will be happy, healthy, and prosperous. What's wrong with me? Haven't you said goodbye to the past? What else do you want to do in the past? Once upon a time, once upon a time...... We used to be so carefree. But that's just the old days. A barbed rattan stabbed the back of her hand so hard that she gasped in pain.
Fu Xuefeng asked, "Twilight Snow, what's wrong?" ”
"It's fine. I accidentally bit my tongue. ”
Intuitively, Fu Xuefeng knew that this was not the truth, but he didn't ask again.
Someone said, "Do you think that we are very much like the warriors who attack the enemy camp at night?" Creeping in the dark, surrounded by thorns, and watching from enemies around a corner. ”
With the opening line, the following flows smoothly.
Another person said: "A warrior does not dare to be, but is like a group of chickens and dogs and thieves." ”
"Isn't it? Those revolutionary martyrs who laid down the country are warriors. How can we who want to run away when we see a snake dare to call ourselves warriors? ”
"Don't talk about such a serious topic. Do you smell it, in addition to the aroma of vines, there is a very special smell? ”
"I don't hear it." It was the voice of the tall senior sister, "You have a pretty smart nose." Dogs? ”
"No, I'm a mouse."
"Then you're miserable. I'm a cat. One boy said, "We're going to eat roast rats tonight." ”
There was a burst of laughter, and a chorus of echoes. Xiao Duxue also smiled. If Fu Xuefeng could see her face, he would be very happy. It's been a long time since I've seen her so happy. Although she usually smiles, her eyes are always gloomy. And at this moment, her eyes were shining, all smiling.
Outside the cave is a flat land where no grass grows. There is no moon, and the stars are shining. A smoky mountain rises from the extreme of the view across countless steep slopes. I can't tell the appearance of the mountains or the color of the trees, but they are only dark or shallow shadows. On the open land, there are several deep and large earth pits, and around the pits are piles of unused firewood.
"That mountain is so high!" It was said.
"It's not the mountain, it's the mountain, the mountain we climb." The team leader said, "We are standing halfway up the mountain. ”
Everyone was surprised. At such a distance, it's clearly another mountain.
"Let's settle in first, and we'll see it when we get up tomorrow morning." The team leader begins to assign work. The effort was not large, and the bonfires were lit, and there were as many as seven or eight piles. Everyone sat around the campfire, ate a simple dinner, and chatted about what they saw and heard on the road, which was very hearty. If there is alcohol, it will probably be drunk.
The team leader cleared his throat, took a cool pose, and sang loudly with his head held high. The high-pitched voice is sometimes like the flowing water of the mountains, sometimes like the water lilies under the moon, and it is not only the ears of people who are drunk. The two senior sisters danced to the beat and danced the pot of joy
Zhuang gave full play to the talent of Tibetan children who can sing and dance.
After singing and dancing, it is the god of the world, the sea and the north. I don't know who started it, and told ghost stories and supernatural legends. At first, the speaker just wanted to have a topic and liven up the atmosphere. Seeing that some people were scared, they were interested, and they were bluffing, and some of them didn't add fuel and vinegar to talk nonsense, anyway, how scary how to say, how outrageous how to make up, and not worried that someone would find the root cause. Seeing the timid people covering their ears and screaming, it was even more exciting, and the rumors that the ancestors heard eight generations ago moved out. For a while, the laughter and scolding were endless, echoing in the quiet primeval mountains, and it was really a bit of a ghost screaming in the middle of the night.
The two senior sisters were so frightened that they nestled next to their boyfriends, and they were all funny expressions that they wanted to listen to but didn't dare to listen. Xiao Duxue's eyebrows fluttered when she heard this, and she couldn't help but laugh when she saw this.
Fu Xuefeng sat with his back against the mountain rocks, his eyes looking at the sky as deep as a cold pool. No one knows what he's thinking, and no one cares what he's thinking, just focusing on how the new opening ghost love will end. Xiao Duxue noticed the change in him, and didn't ask why, just tugged at the corner of his clothes, lay on his knees, and let him fiddle with his long hair.
"Twilight, you really look like a cat." The tall senior sister sneered, "If I hadn't known that you were brother and sister, I would definitely have thought you were lovers." ”
Some people heckled, some people joked.
Xiao Duxue was not annoyed, and slowly gnawed on the fruit: "Creation makes people!" If he weren't my brother, I would have been able to marry him, but he was a good boy, simple and kind, and never bullied. The bonfire made her face red, like the sequoia fruit in her hand.
Fu Xuefeng's hand stopped, and then moved again.
A boy pointed to his head and said, "Didn't you say that he wasn't very good here, and you didn't dislike it?" ”
"As long as he is the person I want and treats me wholeheartedly, I am willing to live and die with me."
"Talking about fun, huh? We all think that the person who can impress you must be a scholar who reads poetry and books at worst. ”
"You can afford me." Twilight threw the kernel into the fire, ending the topic. "It's a pity that there is no moon, otherwise we can follow the example of the ancients, sing to the moon, and chant poems."
The moon is always ashamed to show up behind the thick clouds, but the starry night sky is still beautiful and reckless. Under the hazy starlight, the wind blows the trees, the leaves fall, and speaks a language that humans cannot understand.
Someone yawns, and someone says it's time to sleep. When they had added enough firewood to the fire until dawn, they sat or lay down or leaned on in their favorite places, ready to rest.
Xiao Duxue originally wanted to sleep on the linoleum floor with her backpack on her pillow. But Fu Xuefeng insisted that she sleep in her arms, saying that it was too cold on the ground. Xiao Duxue knew that she couldn't do it, so she had to go along with him. She leaned against his shoulder, one hand grasping his sleeve and the other on her chest.
The short sister said, "It's good to have an older brother." Borrow it from me? ”
Xiao Duxue pointed to her boyfriend and said, "My brother is mine, and no one will give it." To be warm, you go to him. ”
The short senior sister scolded with a smile: "Look at you stingy! Could it be that I really borrowed it from you? ”
Xiao Duxue smiled but said nothing. After a day of tossing, I was indeed tired. She found a more comfortable place for her head and slept peacefully.
The campfire crackled and burned, and from time to time one or two sparks popped up, shattering the silence of the night. 2k reading web
