Chapter Twenty-Six: Near Escape

Early the next morning, the two of them got up, ate the little grilled fish left over from yesterday, and set off east. What happened yesterday had blocked their way back, so this time, they no longer hesitated.

"Sister, take a break!" Seeing Zheng Xiaojie walking out of breath, Brother Zhen was a little distressed. Zheng Xiaojie's body was just feverish, but she was very weak, and she definitely couldn't stand it in such a hurry.

"Let's go a little longer!" Zheng Xiaojie didn't seem to want to stop: "It's only been half a day!" ”

Brother Zhen was the first to stop, and then simply sat on the ground: "I'm tired!" ”

Zheng Xiaojie looked back and could only stop.

"Okay, you rest, I'll go find something to eat!" Seeing that Zheng Xiaojie finally stopped, Brother Zhen hurriedly stood up and said. I've been walking for a long time, and I really need to replenish my energy......

In this way, it was Brother Zhen who controlled the rhythm along the way. He didn't know if Zheng Xiaojie's illness had been calculated, he was afraid that she would be too tired to walk, and her illness would become serious again, so he always slowed down.

Even so, Brother Zhen still saw that Zheng Xiaojie was physically exhausted, but he gritted his teeth and persisted with perseverance, so sometimes he carried her on his back.

"Let me come down," Zheng Xiaojie didn't want to let Brother Zhen carry it, for fear that he would be tired.

"Don't move! Won't I be more tired when you move! ”

Zheng Xiaojie didn't dare to move, so she could only lie on his back very obediently and let him carry it on his back. Along the way, the roles of the two of them reversed, Brother Zhen became the leader, he said to go, he said to stop. In this way, they walked for more than ten days in a row.

"I wonder how far we are from the beach?"

"I don't know, I'll go slowly anyway!" Brother Zhen said with a smile: "We don't have to run for our lives, even if my mother wants to kill you, she won't have a chance!" ”

Zheng Xiaojie was amused. Indeed, she seemed to have some undeserved anxiety, as if Sister Zhen was chasing after her ass. Think about it carefully, she and Brother Zhen have already taken that step, what else do you want.

And what she can't say is that for the first time in her life, she was taken care of by a man like this, and she enjoyed it very much. Although she had that incident with Shu Yunpeng, she had never been cared for like this. Shu Yunpeng has many beauties around her, and she hasn't paid much attention to her at all, and the reason why she has a relationship with Shu Yunpeng is entirely because she happens to be by Yiru's side.

But now it's different, no matter what happens in the future, the strong man in front of her belongs to her alone. Although she still felt embarrassed when she thought about it, she did feel happy......

"Okay, you rest first, I'll go find something to eat!"

Fortunately, Brother Zhen actually hunted a big hare this time. He peeled off the hare's skin, cleaned it, lit a fire and cooked the hare's meat, and the two of them had a full meal.

"There are quite a few hares here," said Brother Zhen, "and we will rest here for a few days, and prepare some food before we go on our way!" ”

Zheng Xiaojie didn't object, anyway, now she is at his disposal.

Brother Zhen once again built a simple dwelling, there was no pond here, but there was a small stream. There are no fish in the creek, but the water is clear. They are like primitive ancestors, living by the water.

Brother Zhen goes out every day, and he has a harvest every day. By four or five days, he had hunted ten hares. Zheng Xiaojie found some nettles, a plant with good stem and bark fibers that can be used to weave clothes. Zheng Xiaojie used it to rub some hemp rope and strung the cleaned hare skin to make two cloaks.

"Not bad!" Brother Zhen saw it and was very happy. It was getting cold, and he was worried about how they would survive the winter. With these two hare-skin cloaks, which are draped during the day, the hemp rope tied around the waist is the clothing, and the quilt is laid down on the hay at night: "It seems that I have to hunt some more!" ”

He put on a hare skin cloak and tied a hemp rope, looked at it himself, and smiled: "This really seems to be back to the Stone Age!" ”

"Back in the Stone Age, don't you want to?"

"Yes! It's good that the two of us are together! As he spoke, he hugged Zheng Xiaojie and kissed him......

"It's like his father!" Zheng Xiaojie couldn't help but think that Shu Yunpeng was so sweet-mouthed at the beginning, coaxing the three stupid girls Yiru, Lin Lin, and Zheng Xiaojie dizzy.

Now, these three stupid girls are the only ones left with her Zheng Xiaojie, is this fortunate or unlucky? ……

"What's the matter, sister?" Brother Zhen was startled when he saw Zheng Xiaojie's face gloomy.

"It's fine!" Zheng Xiaojie hurriedly retracted her thoughts: "I suddenly remembered that you Aunt Yiru is here......"

"Aunt Yiru? ......" Brother Zhen muttered, "I can't even remember what she looks like......"

"No, it won't!" Zheng Xiaojie said: "In the network system of the dungeon, there are a lot of videos of Aunt Yiru, haven't you seen them all?" ”

"Yes, I've seen them all! But I always feel that it is different from the Aunt Yiru I remembered. ”

"What's different?" Zheng Xiaojie was strange, she didn't feel this way at all. For her, whether it is in the video or in her impression, Yiru is always so beautiful and refined, there is no difference.

"My impression of Aunt Yiru is always dressed plainly, and it can even be said that she is a little sloppy," Brother Zhen said, "but in the system, she is always glamorous, with the elegance and calmness of a noble lady." ”

Zheng Xiaojie smiled and laughed loudly: "It seems that you said that you can't remember her appearance, it's nonsense." You remember! We were all in the enclosure at that time, and no one there was dressed very fancily. So you remember Aunt Yi like that! ”

"Really...... To be honest, I was a little scared of Aunt Yi Ru at that time...... It's even worse than being afraid of my mother. ”

Zheng Xiaojie was a little surprised, Yi Ru is always so kind and kind, never embarrassed others, she doesn't understand why Brother Zhen is a little afraid of Yi Ru.

"I miss them a little......" Brother Zhen seemed to be still immersed in memories: "I want to be as easy as an aunt, I want to think about Sister Shulan, I want to think about Brother Haoyang, and I also want to ...... Mom! ”

"I'm sorry, I'm dragging you down......" Zheng Xiaojie found that Brother Zhen's mood suddenly became depressed, and she was a little distressed: "Why don't you go back?" I'm fine now, you don't have to worry about me! ”

"Don't worry, sister, I'm just thinking about it, I won't go back!" Brother Zhen saw Zheng Xiaojie's thoughts: "You didn't drag me down, now I will be where you are...... I guess I'm a little scared of Aunt Yiru, just because I'm born a wild child, I'm afraid of an orthodox woman like her, right? ”

Zheng Xiaojie stopped talking, she saw that Brother Zhen had indeed matured a lot, and knew that she had analyzed herself and reflected on herself. People always like to analyze others and rarely analyze themselves. When a person begins to learn self-analysis and self-reflection, it means that the person's mind has begun to mature.

"You're becoming more and more like your father......" Zheng Xiaojie muttered for a long time and blurted out.

Brother Zhen looked at Zheng Xiaojie, he didn't know why she always had to mention his father, so he no longer answered the topic: "It's still early, I'll look for it again, maybe there will be a harvest before dark." ”

He grabbed his gun and other tools and walked out into the wilderness again. Not to mention, animals are always more resistant than people. Let's just say this hare, an animal at the bottom of the food chain, which has always been nocturnal. But since the deterioration of the environment, the restriction of human activities has basically ceased to pose a threat to them, and the carnivores have almost disappeared due to environmental changes, they have actually swaggered out in the daylight. Moreover, because they have no natural predators, and the bad environment is too suitable for them, they have become less agile than their ancestors, and their bodies seem to have become bloated, which is just cheaper for Brother Zhen.

Whether it is a human or an animal, when it loses stress, it loses motivation and becomes weak.

Brother Zhen's hunting skills have become more and more proficient in the past few days, and after a while, he caught several more. He sat down to rest, and a hint of melancholy came back to him.

These days, he thinks about it a lot, and even often thinks of his father, the traverser who is regarded as a hero by the earthlings. Every time I think of him, Brother Zhen always feels very uncomfortable. He knew why he felt this way, so when he thought about it, he restrained himself from thinking about him.

He still couldn't face a fait accompli, but on the contrary, Zheng Xiaojie mentioned him again! ……

When it got dark, Brother Zhen returned to the camp, and Zheng Xiaojie had already roasted hare meat waiting for him.

The two silently finished eating the hare meat, and then silently got into the simple house and lay down silently.

"Hare meat is saved enough, too much will be bad if you can't eat it......" The atmosphere was depressing, Zheng Xiaojie felt it, so she broke the silence first: "Let's continue to go tomorrow!" ”

"Okay!" Brother Zhen agreed briefly.

"You're not happy...... In the dark, Zheng Xiaojie's voice was full of resentment: "I mentioned him again and made you angry." Sorry ......"

"Shall you not talk about it?" Brother Zhen was a little annoyed, saying that he was still saying that he was still talking, wouldn't it be okay to shut up?

"I'll never talk about him again," Seeing that Brother Zhen didn't answer, Zheng Xiaojie whispered, "Don't be angry, okay?" ”

"I'm not angry, I'm just bored!" Brother Zhen suddenly burst out and shouted, "You all regard him as a hero, but I don't think he is at all!" He threw us all down and went back into his world, so selfish! ”

In the dark, Zheng Xiaojie opened her mouth wide and was very surprised, she didn't expect Brother Zhen to think like this. Shu Yunpeng went to drill a wormhole, and everyone thought that he wanted to save the earthlings, but only Sister Zhen disagreed. Now, she actually heard this statement from Sister Zhen's son, and she couldn't help but be surprised.

"You're not right......" she whispered, "If he doesn't go, the Jones will kill him and send his body into the wormhole......"

"Then he should have led us to resist the Jones instead of walking away!" Brother Zhen said hatefully: "Think about it, after he left, the Jones people became more and more aggressive, and the two sides could only fight. In the end, the earthlings had to choose the ending after two hundred years, and he could be regarded as saving the earthlings? ”

He still hasn't said a word: If he doesn't leave, my brother Zhen's life may not be so awkward!

"Okay, Brother Zhen, I have to go tomorrow, let's not talk about sleeping!"
