Thousand Knots: Chapter 68: The Fox and the Shotgun

Everyone threw down their bags and lay on the ground, everyone's faces were in horror for the rest of their lives, only Fu Xuefeng and Xiao Duxue were still the same.

The boy leaned against the tree and shivered. He looked at the eggshell under his feet, then at Xiao Duxue, and rushed into the forest screaming.

"Hey, you stop!" Xiao Duxue chased after her, "Don't be reckless and reckless to bump into strange things!" ”

Fu Xuefeng blocked the way: "Don't go!" ”

The team leader wiped his sweat and said, "Leave him alone." It seems that he lives in the mountains and can't lose it. ”

Xiao Duxue dug a pit under a protruding rock, buried the broken snake eggs in it, and picked wild flowers on the spot before sitting down next to Fu Xuefeng.

Hidden among the wild flowers of thorns and thatch, the snake king looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes as cold as water. It stared at Xiao Duxue's sweaty face, and its closed lips moved slightly, as if smiling, whispering, and praying.

The senior sister who had fainted had woken up, hugged the senior sister who was about to faint, and shook together. The boys were much calmer, but their faces were pale, and they still moved freely.

Xiao Duxue opened her mouth slowly: "Do you plan to stay here for a long time, or do you want to change places?" ”

Yes, danger zone, get out of the way! Panic and fear turned into strength. All the staff passed through the gloomy woods as fast as they could, and climbed onto the lawn with a wide view before resting at ease.

It's already lunch time. Everyone shared the food they had brought, and they were busy filling their hungry stomachs. Xiao Duxue only drank a few sips of water, and then leaned against the stone and closed her eyes to recuperate.

Cangyang is the curious baby in the team: "Twilight, aren't you afraid of snakes?" ”

"What are snakes to be afraid of, they don't bite indiscriminately."

"You know snake repellent? Why did the snake stop standing still as soon as you stretched out your hand? ”

"Probably because I have been drilling in this mountain since I was a child, and my body is contaminated with the breath of beasts, and they treat me as my own kind." Xiao Duxue touched the phoenix bracelet in her hand, "They mistook me." ”

"Nonsense! The serpent seems to understand you, but why? ”

"Snakes are spiritual, and it is normal for them to understand words. My grandfather often told me that if you break into a place you shouldn't break into and hurt a creature you shouldn't hurt, you must sincerely apologize and repent. Only in this way can forgiveness be obtained. I used to think he was making fun of me, but now I know he's right. All things have a spirit, and sincerity is connected. ”

"Then how do you know that the serpent is not the king?"

"Well, you're going to have to read more. According to the records of wild history, snakes are creatures that have been cultivated to a high level, and they all have marks on their bodies. Although the serpent was large, it was ordinary. Above all, I don't think any race of kings would take matters into their own hands against reckless intruders. The so-called king is a wise man, a leader, and gives orders, and rarely executes orders. ”

"I said, what the hell are you made of? Our group of boys are almost scared to pee, and you are still doing this kind of brain-burning analysis. Are you a girl? ”

"It's like a fake." Xiao Duxue threw the empty water bottle into the garbage bag, "I warn you, if you dare to say anything about looking down on girls, I will throw you into the snake's nest." ”

"The most poisonous woman's heart!"

Xiao Duxue closed her eyes with a faint expression. Everyone thought that she was tired after some nervous thinking, so they didn't bother anymore. Only Fu Xuefeng knew what she was thinking. He touched her head, tenderly and lovingly.

It turns out that thoughts will not be lost in the dust of time with time, but just lie dormant in unknown corners, waiting for an opportunity; Just as sorrow and pain are never forgotten, at some point they will storm the memories and turn the newly built happiness into a mess that catches people off guard.

Those who have disappeared, will you come to my dreams tonight?

Xiao Duxue's stretched brows frowned, and tears fell on this strange land, still familiar

The breath of pain......

After only one meal, the danger just now was digested into various versions of the conversation. Some people even believe that the snake king will become a beautiful woman, and stage a modern version of the ladyboy love affair with the shipwrecked scholar on a dark and windy night.

Xiao Duxue stopped and walked, looking here, looking there, and did not participate in the chat.

The team leader pointed to the unseen mountain peak and said, "Work harder and try to climb to the predetermined spot before dark." ”

"Going to the top?"

"Dreaming! At our pace, it would take at least two days to climb to the top. Normally, amateur climbers climb half the climb. Further up there are inaccessible primeval forests, where the climate is ever-changing and dangerous, and we can't cope with it. ”

"Is the place where we stay at night dangerous?"

"There is no danger. It is flat, surrounded by rocks and caves that shelter from the wind and rain. ”

"The legendary Savage Cave?"

"yes, that's it."

Xiao Duxue looked at the wild bamboo forest not far away and said, "You go first, and I'll come later." ”

Fu Xuefeng saw that the bamboo forest was dense, and he was afraid that something would be wrong, so he said, "I'll wait for you." ”

Xiao Duxue blushed: "No." The leader will leave a mark, and I will just follow along. ”

Fu Xuefeng couldn't insist anymore and followed the team leader.

Xiao Duxue went into the bamboo forest and found a hidden place to solve the internal emergency. There was a very small sound coming from the nearby thatch. Could it be a rabbit? She gently pushed through the grass and was pleasantly surprised by what caught her eye: a fox of fiery red color stood in the grass, holding a string of wild fruits like colorful gems in its mouth. Those sparkling eyes are dazzlingly beautiful, as if they are filled with Hanhai Xinghe!

The fiery fox tilted its head to look at her, its glass-like eyes as if with a smile.

Xiao Duxue smiled, smiling lightly, but fiery and sweet.

The breeze blows, and the bamboo leaves rustle. One person and one fox looked at each other quietly, and no one moved.

Xiao Twilight tentatively reached out her hand to touch her fluffy tail. The fiery red fox deftly bounced away and looked at her proudly, as if to say: "Wait for mortals, Hugh is rude!" It dodged out of the bamboo forest and ran faster than the maroon rabbits. Xiao Duxue didn't want to think about it, so she chased after it. A man and a fox ran across the shoulder-high lawn towards the hill. The fiery red fox ran happily, and Xiao Duxue chased even more happily. It didn't take long for him to be so tired that he was panting like a cow, and he couldn't breathe, so he had to stop and rest. When the fox saw that she was tired, he stopped and stared at her, as if waiting for her, and as if laughing at her inadequacy.

After running for a while, the fiery fox quickened his pace, burrowed into an impermeable wood, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Xiao Duxue searched for a long time but couldn't find it, and she was unwilling to give up. She looked at the woods and suddenly realized that she had strayed too far from the prescribed route! Don't panic, don't panic...... You'll definitely find your way back. She comforted herself, trying to remember where she had come. But when she came, she was only concerned with chasing the fox, and she didn't remember the way at all, only vaguely remembering that she had passed through the dense cedar forest. It's impossible to go back the way you came, so let's climb up the mountain road and find a way to get to the top of the mountain.

She found a stick to hold, half to find her way, and half to strengthen her courage. With a stick of incense, she walked out of the woods and onto an artificially constructed platform. The vegetation is sparse and full of downed trees. Next to the pile of wood chips, two Coke bottles and an empty wine bottle were tossed.

A frightened bird skimmed overhead, and the posture was impressively beautiful.

There was a sound of a tree branch breaking behind him, accompanied by a cold shout: "What person? A man with piercing eyes, messy hair like a bird's nest, a beard long enough to braid his hair, and shabby clothes, with a gun, aimed at the intruder.

Isn't it, there really are guns? Miserable! Xiao Duxue raised her hands above her head: "That...... I...... I am a student at Yamashita Normal University. My companion and I got separated and stumbled into it by mistake. You...... Don't get me wrong

The muzzle of the gun to the chest was slightly lowered.

"I'm chasing a fiery fox...... If you chase here, you will be lost. ”

The man sneered and directly aimed the muzzle of the gun at Xiao Duxue's eyebrows: "Lie!" The mountain god never sees a stranger! ”

Xiao Duxue almost knelt down: "Mountain...... Mountain gods? What mountain god? ”

"The fiery red fox. It is the god of this mountain. ”

"But I'm really chasing it. Its four feet are pure white, and it runs like stepping on white clouds. ”

The man collected his gun and walked towards the woods on the slope, where there were two wooden houses covered with linoleum. The house is surrounded by wires, on which clothes and mountain goods are dried. More than ten meters away, there is a huge cave, and there are excavation tools at the mouth of the cave, which should be the legendary gold mine. And this man is the miner.

What a hanging! Pick up a life! Xiao Duxue sighed and silently thanked her ancestors. She was about to leave, but when she saw the man return, she was so frightened that she clinged to the roots of the tree and did not dare to move.

The man placed an enamel jar filled with water and lacked porcelain on the root of the tree: "Give." ”

Xiao Duxue licked her dry lips and drank the water. The water was clear and sweet, and it tasted like I had never drunk before. "This water is delicious!"

The man's guard faded a lot, and he gestured with his hand and said, "Climb up from here, climb through the metasequoia forest, walk along the path on the right for about five or six hundred meters, and then go straight up, and you can reach it." ”

"Do you know where I'm going?"

"Don't you all go there to camp for your students who climb the mountain?" The man said lukewarmly, "Don't run blindly if you don't know the way, the beasts in this mountain haven't eaten human flesh for many years." ”

Xiao Duxue was speechless: "Is there really a beast?" ”

The man glanced at her: "If you don't believe it, try it." ”

Xiao Duxue waved her hand again and again: "Don't!" I still want to live a long life. ”

The man's face was not so cold: "Hurry up!" This is not where you should be. ”

Xiao Duxue thanked him and walked towards the path he pointed. Coldly, Fu Xuefeng came out. He touched Xiao Duxue here and looked there, for fear that she was missing parts.

"Snow Peak? How did you find here? ”

"Who is he?" The man's brow furrowed and expanded: "Your companion? Hurry up, go fast, don't linger any longer! ”

Xiao Duxue picked up Fu Xuefeng and ran, wanting to escape from this dangerous area as soon as possible.

"Stop." The voice was low and deep, it was a man, "Don't be afraid, I just want to see what the girl chasing the mountain god looks like." ”

It's dead this time! Can't hide! Xiao Duxue thought about what might happen and didn't dare to look back. Fu Xuefeng took her towards him.

The middle-aged man who spoke was tall and sloppy with a scruffy beard. Unlike the men before him, his eyes are transparent and peaceful that only people with a full stomach have. "Young man, who are you this girl?"

Fu Xuefeng kept his mouth shut.

"I'm his sister."

"Sister? It doesn't look like it. ”

The bolt opened. This time, the muzzle of the gun was aimed at Fu Xuefeng. Xiao Duxue was shocked, and stepped forward to block the muzzle: "Don't hurt him!" ”

In the blink of an eye, the gun was in the hands of the middle-aged man: "Who are you?" Say! ”

Fu Xuefeng lowered his hand to the side, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. He protected Xiao Duxue behind him, and looked at the other party with a gaze as sharp as a knife: "Get out of the way." ”

The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth twitched slightly, and his expression was thought-provoking. After a moment of confrontation, he lowered his gun: "There is guts. Know to protect women. He regained his humble gentleman's Sven, and his face softened: "Since you are an irrelevant person, leave quickly." ”

Xiao Duxue didn't say a word, just ran away.

Fu Xuefeng retreated step by step, straight to the edge of the woods, and disappeared as soon as he turned around. 2k reading web
