In the east, the belly of the fish appeared white, and the sky gradually brightened. After a night of tossing, Brother Zhen was really tired. He closed his eyes and lay there not wanting to get up.

"I'm tired, Brother Zhen!" Zheng Xiaojie, who was lying beside him, said softly: "It's really dragging you down!" ”

"Don't say that, Aunt Xiaojie," Brother Zhen replied with his eyes closed. He knew that Zheng Xiaojie was naked now, so he didn't dare to open his eyes: "I've made you tired for months, and it's all because I dragged you down that I tired you." ”

"It's not!" Zheng Xiaojie said: "I am playing a pendulum, that is, malaria, and I must have been bitten by a mosquito when I took a bath the night before." ”

"Won't it?" Brother Zhen said: "Now that the weather is not hot, and it is an arid area in the north, how can there be malaria mosquitoes?" Besides, malaria has a certain incubation period, how could it have an attack on the night of the bite last night? ”

"I don't know...... Maybe it was bitten before," Brother Zhen said, and Zheng Xiaojie was not sure: "Maybe the earth was once covered by radiation, and mosquitoes and malaria parasites mutated, and the attack was relatively fast." But this moment is cold and sometimes hot, and it can't be wrong. ”

Brother Zhen stopped talking, judging from Zheng Xiaojie's condition, the hot and cold ones are indeed what the folk call is a swing. He didn't know what to do with this disease if there was no medical treatment in the wild! Now what he thinks about is to quickly try to build a simple place to live away from the wind, at least not to let Aunt Xiaojie get cold.

"Aunt Xiaojie, I'm afraid of the heat, you can wear it too!" Brother Zhen took off his coat and handed it to Zheng Xiaojie.

Zheng Xiaojie didn't object, she was very weak, so she didn't refuse. One night was hot and cold, Brother Zhen kept guarding her, hugged her tightly when it was cold, warmed her with his body, and kept pouring water on her to cool her down when it was hot. Her brother Zhen's coat was also put on.

"Alright......" she said, getting dressed.

Brother Zhen looked at Zheng Xiaojie and couldn't help but sigh secretly. He saw at a glance that after a night of tossing, Zheng Xiaojie's face was obviously smaller. Her cheeks were slightly sunken, and both of her eye sockets were black.

"Why do you think of me like that?" Brother Zhen's eyes surprised Zheng Xiaojie.

"Your face is smaller!" Brother Zhen looked distressed: "I'm sorry for making you suffer!" ”

Zheng Xiaojie didn't answer, she moved to the edge of the pond with difficulty, and took advantage of the calm water to see her face. The mirror-like surface of the water reflected her deep, sunken eyes with dark circles...... She sighed involuntarily.

"Brother Zhen......" she shouted back.

"What's wrong?" Brother Zhen hurriedly agreed: "I'll help you do something." ”

"No, it's fine!" Zheng Xiaojie felt short of breath. Under this serious illness, she felt weakness all over her body: "I was thinking, you should go back." ”

"Me? Heading back? Brother Zhen looked at Zheng Xiaojie and pondered the meaning of her words: "You mean, I walked back alone and threw you down?" ”

"Yes......"

Brother Zhen didn't say a word, stood up and left. How could he throw Zheng Xiaojie down and go back to the dungeon by himself?

He cut down a lot of branches with a military dagger, moved them to the pond, and began to build temporary shelters. The branches are formed in a five-meter square circle, and then the enclosed branches are pasted with mud. When the fence is compacted, find some branches and hay to make the roof. After most of the day, a simple shelter that could be sheltered from the wind and sun was built.

After the simple house was built, Brother Zhen found a lot of soft hay and spread it all over the ground in the simple house.

Zheng Xiaojie kept watching and didn't say anything. When he was ready, she said, "Thank you, so that I can suffer less from the cold!" …… After tonight, you can go back! ”

Brother Zhen still ignored her, but began to catch fish with his improvised net, and then grilled them when they were finished. After the two finished eating, Brother Zhen didn't say a word, took Zheng Xiaojie into the simple room and let her lie down, and he also lay down to rest.

In the middle of the night, Zheng Xiaojie's illness began to attack again. It's cold for a while and hot for a while, tossing Brother Zhen enough. finally stayed up until dawn, and Zheng Xiaojie was completely out of shape.

"You really don't need to guard me anymore, Brother Zhen!" Zheng Xiaojie gasped and said, "Let's go!" ”

Brother Zhen shook his head, how could he bear to leave at this time? In the past few months, Brother Zhen, who has no experience in wild life at all, if it weren't for Zheng Xiaojie, he might have finished playing. Even if he didn't finish the game, it would be difficult for him to return to the dungeon because he was completely disoriented.

It is precisely because of him who has no experience at all that Zheng Xiaojie is particularly fortunate. The hardships along the way were all borne by her alone. Now that she's sick, so sick, of course it's probably the malaria mosquito bite, but the obvious decline in her physique is probably the reason why she's so sick. At this time, how could he leave her behind and go alone?

"I'm not leaving, Aunt Xiaojie," he said firmly, "I'll always be with you!" ”

"This disease is contagious...... Zheng Xiaojie said, grabbed the laser gun and pointed it at Brother Zhen: "Hurry up, otherwise I'll shoot!" ”

"Okay, I'll go......" Brother Zhen's tears fell down: "If you have anything else to say, just tell me!" ”

"Okay......" Seeing that Brother Zhen agreed, Zheng Xiaojie's hand holding the gun slowly put down: "Go back and tell your mother that my task is complete......"

Before she could finish her words, Brother Zhen suddenly pounced, snatched the gun from her hand and threw it into the corner. Zheng Xiaojie, who was caught off guard, stepped forward and pounced on the gun, and Brother Zhen hugged her tightly. The two struggled and refused to give in to each other. After all, Zheng Xiaojie had been sick for two days, and she couldn't deal with the strong Brother Zhen at all, so she collapsed.

"Forget it, I don't have the strength......" Zheng Xiaojie gasped: "Let me go!" ”

"Don't let it go!" Brother Zhen said, "I won't leave!" ”

"You're bad enough, as bad as your mother!" Zheng Xiaojie smiled bitterly: "Always talking doesn't count!" ”

But Brother Zhen let go, he was too nervous just now, and at this time he realized that he was only wearing a pair of pants, and Zheng Xiaojie was not wearing anything. He quickly turned his face away from looking: "I'm sorry......"

Zheng Xiaojie lay down tired and didn't say anything. She has been used to such a toss these days. So she just closed her eyes, just lay there, and didn't shy away.

"Put on your clothes, Aunt Xiaojie......"

"Don't wear it...... Anyway, in the past few days, you have seen what you should see and what you shouldn't see......"

Brother Zhen didn't say a word. In the past two days, he has been holding Zheng Xiaojie, covering her with his body temperature when it is cold, and watering and wiping her when it is hot, he has no heart to consider whether she is wearing clothes or not.

Brother Zhen lowered his head, his face flushed. He wondered if he should run away, but his body suddenly became hot and unbearable, and his body began to react strongly......

"I ......" he felt that he should still avoid it in time, but it was too late. Zheng Xiaojie obviously saw his reaction, and had moved to his side, hugged him tightly and pressed him down, her lips also imprinted on his lips......

"Don't be entangled...... "In the grinding of ears and temples, Zheng Xiaojie's voice seemed to come from far away...... Maybe it was after a near-death experience, Zheng Xiaojie's reason was completely washed away by instinct.

"Aunt Xiaojie, I'm ......" I don't know how long it took, after both of them calmed down, Brother Zhen said. He had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what to say. When he remembered what had happened when he was fourteen years old, he was terrified to death, and felt that he had sinned this time.

"Nope! Not you! I took the initiative! Zheng Xiaojie seemed very calm: "Don't call me aunt in the future!" …… Sleep now! ”

It's strange that after an unexpected toss, Zheng Xiaojie's illness seemed to have improved, and she didn't have a seizure all night. By daybreak, she found that her fever had subsided and she was much more conscious. When Brother Zhen woke up, it was already dawn, and he found that Zheng Xiaojie was not around, but was roasting fish on a fire outside.

"I'm much better," Seeing Brother Zhen's surprised expression, Zheng Xiaojie smiled slightly: "The fever has also subsided." ”

"Great!" Brother Zhen couldn't help but blurt out. He really didn't expect that the accident that made him deeply uneasy stimulated Zheng Xiaojie's instinctive desire to survive in her life and resisted the disease. He felt a sense of relief in his heart, glad that he had finally survived.

However, he still didn't dare to look at Zheng Xiaojie's eyes.

"Let's catch some more fish!" Zheng Xiaojie didn't dare to look up when she saw him, and said with a secret smile.

"Okay!" If Brother Zhen was amnesty, he hurriedly grabbed his net pocket and went into the water to start fishing.

They stayed by the pond for three days, and after three days, they had almost caught all the fish in the pond.

"Let's go back!" Brother Zhen said. Along the way, he remembered seeing many such ponds. They were in a hurry and didn't stop. Now that he plans to go back, if he encounters those ponds when he goes back, he plans to stop and rest for a few more days, because Zheng Xiaojie still looks very weak and needs to recuperate.

Zheng Xiaojie did not answer.

"What's the matter, Aunt Xiaojie?"

"I said, stop calling me aunt!" Zheng Xiaojie seemed a little angry.

"Oh...... So, sister ...... "Brother Zhen was spitting and spitting, and it was easy to change his name to sister: "There is nothing to eat here, should we go back?" ”

"Let's go!" Zheng Xiaojie said angrily.

"What are you doing...... Sister? Didn't you say okay, let's go back? ”

"Can I go back?" Zheng Xiaojie glared at Brother Zhen: "Can I still see people when I go back?" If your mother knew about us...... If she knew, wouldn't she kill me? ”

Brother Zhen suddenly realized.

"Then you decide!" Brother Zhen thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of a way.

"Let's continue north!" Zheng Xiaojie said. She now felt that she could only avoid the dungeon and not go back.

"Isn't that the desert in the way, can't we get through?" Brother Zhen said, "Let's go back and don't say anything, can't we?" ”

"Can you hide it? Now that I've taken this step, I want to have a baby too, yours! Zheng Xiaojie said: "Let's go east first, and then go north when we reach the beach." I'm sure you'll find a way to cross it when you get to the beach! ”

"Well, listen to you!" Brother Zhen knew that this time he was trapped and there was no way out. He thought for a moment and said, "That's right, let's go to the beach, maybe it's convenient to find food." ”
