Bertha and Huang Jie (II)
"Actually, we can form a team." The girl picked up a skewer of roasted bear meat from the fire and handed it to the boy, "By the way, I forgot to introduce my name to Bertha." ”
I don't know if it's an illusion, she seems to see that when the other party took the bear meat, a crimson light flashed under her eyes, "My name is Xiu ......" and then lowered her head and ate the roasted bear meat at a frighteningly fast speed, Bertha watched with interest.
"Repair? It sounds good, but I think it's a nickname, which means ......" Bertha said to herself, picking up a string of bear meat, and a smile appeared on the cute girl's face, she stuck out her tongue and licked her little tiger teeth, "Don't you want to tell me your real name?" ”
The other party ignored her and ate meat on her own.
"Whew......" Bertha sat down with her back against the stone wall as she let out such a long sigh that had no image to speak of. After a day of fighting, her body was already covered with sweat and fishy mucus, she was still panting lightly because of exhaustion, and there was an unhealthy flush on her face, she looked at Huang Xiu, who had finished eating barbecue, and handed him a handkerchief.
The young man took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and then said, "My name is Huang Xiu......" After speaking, he walked to Bertha's side very consciously.
Bertha glanced sideways at Huang Xiu, and rolled her eyes helplessly, remembering the previous battle, Bertha couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, they were close to a cave, and encountered a huge creature that only the research institute had, sleeping, huge, vicious-looking, with nine heads...... Big snake! Although in this world full of mutation, these are not surprising.
But for the newcomer hunter, Bertha could only face the serpent's scream of "ahh
Huang Xiu picked up the longbow and pulled out an arrow from the back of Bertha, who was so frightened, "Ahh Bertha screamed again.
"Don't interrupt!" Huang Xiu was so frightened that he almost threw away his bow, and shouted back angrily, "You're a hunter!" Why are you so skilled in screaming? ”
"I, I, I hate snakes!" Bertha stammered as she explained, her face pale as paper, "Help...... Help get rid of them! ”
"Hate snakes?"
"Slippery body...... Scales that make a "cluck" sound...... Icy ...... Belch! I don't want to say any more! ”
Although he always felt that Bertha still had a lot to say, Huang Xiu didn't have time to take care of this, he nailed a feather arrow into the eye of a snake man, reached out and pulled Bertha up who was squatting, and yelled, "Run!" Fortunately, she still had the strength to escape, she didn't hesitate, and even ran faster than Huang Xiu.
"Hey!" Huang Xiu didn't have time to stop it, and he sighed helplessly as he saw her rush into the snake man pile in the other direction.
"Ahh The screams shook the whole cave.
After that, out of some damn sympathy, Huang Xiu went into the snake crowd alone and rescued Bertha, who had been completely stupid, and dragged him into a cave that was full of snake moults but had obvious traces of artificial excavation.
The entrance to the cave is still full of snake moults, and further down there is a delicately excavated cavern with a large open space paved with stone bricks.
Huang Xiu threw Bertha in the middle of the clearing, and threw several skeletons in bone armor in the clearing outside the corner, it seemed that this cave had some stories. Thinking so, Huang Xiu turned around to confirm Bertha's condition, and then breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there were no obvious external injuries, but he was a little scared and stupid.
Fortunately...... This guy was not stupid enough to be saved, Huang Xiu slapped her a few times and came back.
"What are you doing?" Bertha said with a crying voice, she was so frightened that a drop of pearl dripped from her white and red cheeks, and then before Huang Xiu could speak, she hugged him and cried for more than ten minutes.
For a cute girl who is weak and helpless to throw herself into her arms, the average boy will be ecstatic. But he didn't, Huang Xiu slapped a muffled fist at the top of Bertha's head, knocked out and threw aside the corner to dry, and he used those snakes that were mostly dried to light a small fire, trying to dry the robe stained with disgusting snake blood.
And then...... Now is the time.
Bertha's face was cold, and her silver-gray eyes radiated a fierce murderous aura that did not match her appearance.
Huang Xiu shuddered and shrank to the side.
Even if this guy apologizes immediately, he will never forgive her! Hit me on the head...... Ella thought viciously, and stabbed the snake blood on the short knife vigorously in a sharpening stance.
"That'...... That, Bertha......" Huang Xiu hesitated for a long time before he opened his mouth, and the hesitation in his tone was quite heavy, "I'm really sorry, I hit you on the head?" ”
“…… Knot......... As a result, I apologized directly! Bertha thought, "Isn't this kid very sensible?" I apologized very well. Then he started running his hair back and forth.
"That ......," Huang Xiu said, "I have one more thing to say. ”
"Say it." Bertha replied almost subconsciously, and then approached him.
"Wait...... Can you not ...... Like a cat? Huang Xiu's face turned red and said in a desperate posture, while turning his head vigorously.
"Huh! I'm sorry! Bertha quickly retracted, her face reddening.
"Ahem!" Huang Xiu coughed solemnly, and then said, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Me?" Bertha pointed to her face, "I'm here to be"
"Well, yes." Huang Xiu said, "Your purpose is not clear, you should always come up with some proof to let me know that you are a companion you can rely on." ”
"Alas...... It's ...... too" Bertha stood up, crossed her hands, and her eyes revealed a real coldness, "Woo...... So let's be clear first...... I ate bear meat ......."
"I know that." Huang Xiu interrupted mercilessly, "There is no need to emphasize this kind of thing!" Anyway, I'll pay back that bear meat sooner or later! Suddenly his speech became sharper.
Bertha thought so, a smile of inexplicable meaning on her lips, "Let me tell you this, the reason why I ended up here is because of some changes that happened a few days ago, and then I lost contact with my sister......"
"Huh?"
Bertha hesitated again, "I'm here because I'm looking for a place called Whartont, where my sister says there are people who can help me. ”
"Whartont!" Huang Xiu shouted loudly without hesitation.
"Hmm...... What's wrong? ”
"Where are you going?" Huang Xiu continued to roar.
"Yes...... Bertha replied, then looked at Huang Xiu in front of him suspiciously, and continued to ask, "What's wrong?" ”
"What's the name of the person you're looking for?"
"A ......" Bertha pulled out the paper ball from her waist and read it as she had read it before, "Mark Day......" her stammering broke the solemn atmosphere she had planned.
"Visya Braham!" Huang Xiu added, "Isn't it called Mark Davis Abraham!" ”
"Hmm." Bertha was a little startled, but she nodded affirmatively, "That's right...... That's him. ”
Huang Xiu smiled, "It seems that our Dao is still somewhat the same. He held out his hands to Bertha.
"Are you looking for Mr. Mark Davis Abraham too?" Bertha asked, confused, and then grabbed his stout arm.
"Well, that's right." Huang Xiu said, "I'm just looking for my father. ”
"Father...... "Bertha then asked, "could it be that you are his son?" ”
"No," Huang Xiu shook his head, "It should be an adopted son." ”
"Adopted son?"
"Hmm......" Huang Xiu said as he looked at the pitch-black cave roof, "My parents were killed when I was very young, but fortunately I was adopted by Mr. Mark......
"I'm sorry......" Bertha lowered her head, "I've asked so much ......"
Huang Xiu hurriedly shook his hand and explained, "It doesn't matter, you are also looking for him, and I am also looking for him, so for the time being, we are still teammates, and there is more trust between teammates, so don't worry about this ......" After speaking, his hand clenched tighter.
"Well, that's right." Bertha was a little happy, and she also squeezed Huang Xiu's hand.
"Hiss......" Huang Xiu withdrew his hand with pain, and after a while, he said, "Girl, your hand is quite strong." ”
"Of course!" Bertha said with certainty, "I'm a throwing knife?" ”
"Circus Born?"
"Isn't it?" Bertha said categorically.
"Then why are you carrying a bow?"
"Because it's my sister's bow ......"
"You still have a sister?"
"Yes, my sister is pretty........." Bertha suddenly felt that something was wrong, and she asked, "By the way, who are you looking for?" ”
Huang Jie stood up, he looked at the bright night sky, and then said, "It should be my father." ”
"Who is it?"
"Mr. Mark......"
