Chapter Seventy-Seven: Alone in the Cave
Or the atmosphere was too awkward, and the two of them were a little uncomfortable for a while, but in the end, it was Gu Zhan who opened his mouth to break the silence.
"There's a straw mat in there, you go in and sleep, it's going to rain in a while." Forgetting the night outside, Gu Zhan's experience immediately told him such a result.
Stunned, Qu Die stood up and went to the cave to explore, and there was indeed a thick straw mat inside, but ...... It's really just one.
"Where do you sleep if I take up the mat?" didn't doubt Gu Zhan's words, Qu Die was a little concerned about this issue.
"I ......" was silent for a while, Gu Zhan glanced at her, then quickly lowered his head, turned around, and said in a somewhat unclear voice: "I keep vigil, you can sleep first, it's not safe in the mountains, it's not good if there will be wild beasts coming." ”
After that, he dragged a few pieces of weeds and sat down at the door, leaning against the cave and no longer caring for the butterflies.
Angry? Scratching his head a little at a loss, Qu Die felt that Gu Zhan's temperament was a little strange for the first time, and he wouldn't be a person who would be angry because of this kind of thing.
Shaking his head, Qu Die couldn't guess his thoughts for a long time, and he was indeed a little tired, so he lay down on the thick straw mat and fell asleep defenselessly.
I don't know how long it took, the night was getting darker and darker, and the breathing in the cave was getting more and more stable, Gu Zhan, who had been sitting at the door, finally moved at this time.
He slowly turned around and quietly looked at Qu Die, who was already asleep inside, her fleshy face was facing outward, and Gu Zhan could clearly see her appearance.
People in the village always say that she is ugly, but for some reason, Gu Zhan thinks she is very cute, just like the scars on her face are so scary, but Qu Die has never disliked herself.
She is a very kind person, which is why Gu Zhan feels so sorry for her, but a girl has to suffer so much.
I remembered that when I first saw her, it was also on this mountain, she fainted on the side of the road alone, her body was dirty, and it took me a lot of effort to carry her home.
Now, after taking such a closer look, I found that the contours of her face were no longer as round as before, and my heart tightened.
Secretly said: "Is she too tired lately, what's the matter...... She has lost a lot of weight in the days when she is away?
In fact, Qu Die didn't lose much weight at all, but this was particularly obvious in Gu Zhan's eyes, and he thought that Qu Die was too tired in life, so he would be like this.
Or still feeling that burning gaze in his sleep, Qu Die couldn't help frowning as if he was about to wake up, so frightened that Gu Zhan hurriedly turned his head, and his heart was beating a little hard.
After a long while, seeing that there was no movement in the cave, Gu Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was a little feverish.
After a dreamless night, Qu Die woke up very early on the second day, on the one hand, because she didn't sleep well, and on the other hand, she was awakened by a fragrance.
Rubbing her eyes that had not yet been fully opened, Qu Die glanced around the cave, the firewood that had been burned out yesterday was only a pile of ashes at the moment, and she never saw Gu Zhan's figure when she looked for it, but the fragrance still drilled into her nostrils.
Lifting the layer of wheat straw covering his body, Qu Die didn't have to think about it to know that it must have been done by Gu Zhan, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny.
But then, the sound of protest from her stomach brought her back to her senses in an instant, and she cautiously walked towards the cave as she touched the wall.
The early morning sun was not dazzling, but this made Qu Die, who was accustomed to the darkness of the cave, still raise her hand to block it, and when it took a while to ease up, the scene in front of her couldn't help but surprise her.
As Gu Zhan said yesterday, it did rain heavily at night, but fortunately, the cave was hidden and not invaded by the rain, but now that it looks like the outside world has been thoroughly irrigated by the rain.
The soil was wet/muddy, the leaves were still covered with clear dewdrops, and the whole mountain was filled with a thick mist, and as soon as I bent down and came out of the cave, a drop of water fell right above my head into the neck of the butterfly.
She almost screamed out of gratitude to the cold touch, but her head, which was still a little confused, suddenly sobered up.
His eyes fell on the man in front of him, but Qu Die paid more attention to the rabbit leg in his hand.
She hadn't eaten since last night, and Qu Die was now hungry, and she was desperately swallowing saliva in her throat unconsciously, and her eyes couldn't take her eyes off the fragrant rabbit leg for a moment.
"You're awake, come over and eat." When he looked up, he saw Qu Die's hungry wolf-like eyes, Gu Zhan's ears couldn't help but turn red again, and he quickly lowered his head and called at her softly.
Because considering that Qu Die, a girl, would definitely not be able to stand the hunger, and if she didn't eat, she would go down the mountain directly, she would definitely be tired and faint on the road, so early in the morning, Gu Zhan got up and made breakfast for her.
Fortunately, he used to have enough dry wood in the cave, otherwise how could he find dry wood on this mountain that has just rained?
Seeing that she was still sleeping, Gu Zhan didn't want to disturb her, and quietly moved the battlefield outside, and now she woke up just after roasting Qu Die, which was quite a coincidence.
Rubbing her palms secretly, Qu Die couldn't wait to pounce on the rabbit leg immediately, but that would inevitably look like a starving ghost, so she forcibly endured the commotion in her heart and went to wash up first, and then returned to the rabbit leg with bright eyes.
Directly gave her the big leg meat, Gu Zhan picked up the remaining skeleton and began to put it on the fire and roasted it concentratingly.
Seeing this scene, how could Qu Die not understand that Gu Zhan had given the best part to herself, and she was a little reluctant to go for a while, and she tore the leg meat in half with the scalding, and handed the other copy to Gu Zhan.
was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of Gu Zhan's mouth rose uncontrollably slightly, and he was not polite when he took the leg meat, and took a bite lightly, and then said: "I still have a chicken I caught yesterday, if you are not enough, I will roast it for you." ”
After that, he was going to replace the skeleton with a few taels of meat, but he was stopped by Qu Die.
Waving his hand happily, Qu Die said bluntly: "There's no need for that, how can you let me eat all of this after you finally hit these, let's eat some to pad my stomach first, let's go back quickly, right?" ”
Forgetting to glance at the sky that had begun to light up, Qu Die couldn't help but be a little worried about Qu Wanting, so she solved a big rabbit leg in a few or three clicks.
Although the ground was a little wet/slippery, it was still much easier to walk than last night, and under the guidance of Gu Zhan, the two walked for about half an hour before returning to the edge of Shanxi Village, which is near Gu Zhan's house.
Waving his hand to refuse Gu Zhan's invitation, Qu Die bluntly said that there were still people waiting for her at home, so he couldn't wait to turn around and leave, leaving Gu Zhan, who was still stunned, standing in place and looking at Qu Die's departing figure for a long time.
"Wanting!" rushed home in a hurry, and saw that Qu Wanting was already sitting at the door with tears on her face at this time, waiting for her all night.
"Woo, Fluttershy, that's great, Fluttershy, you're not, it's okay......" While wiping the tears from her face, Qu Wanting couldn't stop crying; I can't even say a complete sentence.
This made Qu Die, who was already anxious, even more self-reproachful, and it took a while to coax Qu Wanting well, because she sat at the door and waited for her all night, and Qu Die fed her some modern cold medicine before letting her sleep.
Fortunately, Qu Wanting was already a little confused at this time, so she didn't have the slightest doubt about the granule preparations that Qu Die took out, but just drank it obediently and went to bed with a grunt.
And he slept in a cold and hard cave last night, in fact, it was not very comfortable, and he took a good bath without hot water, and Qu Die also dragged his tired body to rest.
……
When she woke up again, it was almost noon, and seeing that Qu Wanting hadn't woken up yet, Qu Die was worried about whether she had fallen ill because she had been blowing outside all night last night and was wet and wet, so she went to the house to check her temperature.
Sure enough, as Qu Die guessed, Qu Wanting did have a cold, but fortunately, Qu Die had already been fed medicine in advance, so it was not too serious, and she only needed to sleep for another half a day and basically recover when she woke up naturally.
Taking advantage of this gap, Qu Die couldn't help but go to the back mountain of Shanxi Village to explore again, yesterday due to Gu Zhan's constraints, she couldn't defend the line What is the difference between the two back mountains.
After looking around and touching for a while, Qu Die remembered the coriander that Gu Zhan put in the roast chicken before, and couldn't help but start looking for it.
There is a small stream halfway up the mountain, which looks like the one that connects the mountain behind Qudie, and when you walk into the Qudie dialect here, you can find some differences.
Or the reason why there are more wild beasts in this mountain, the flowers and plants are much more lush than those in the old house.
Picking up a piece of weed, which was almost up to a person's knee, the grass pile by the stream was the best to find, and Qu Die buried his head in a careful search.
"This is ......" A familiar plant suddenly broke into her sight, and she was as smart as a curved butterfly and immediately reacted and exclaimed.
"Coriander, it's actually coriander, I didn't expect to find it!" The plant in front of me is similar in appearance, color, or smell to coriander.
After taking a few sips, Qu Die became more and more convinced that this was what she had been looking for for so hard, but it was just ......
When a touch of yellow broke into the sight, Qu Die's first reaction was ...... Potato? The moment this thought came to mind, Qu Die couldn't help but miss the taste of potatoes.
If it weren't for the fact that the color was too similar to the potato, she wouldn't admit her mistake, picking the big yellow flower, Qu Die couldn't help but sigh helplessly, and then continued to work hard.
Around sunset, seeing that it was not early, Qu Die really didn't want something like yesterday to happen, so she had to hurry in the direction of going back, still carrying a handful of verdant green coriander in her hand.
After an afternoon of searching, she has determined that there are no potatoes in this era!
Shaking his head, Qu Die couldn't help but let out a heavy breath, thinking that the way to eat potatoes in modern times is omnipotent!
