Chapter 15: Little Devil Head
I tried my best to break free, but he tightened more and more, and in a hurry, I grabbed Kong Xian's neck with one hand, closed my eyes and shouted: "You won't let go, believe it or not, I'll bite you!" ”
As soon as I finished shouting, I suddenly felt a slap in the face, and it hurt hotly.
When I opened my eyes, I realized that I was still in a dream. The light of the flashlight in front of me stabbed my eyes, and Kong Xian squatted next to me, obviously he had just slapped me.
"What kind of dreams do you have, you can't wake up?" He asked me with a frown.
I didn't answer, so I rushed out and looked at the forest outside by the fire.
Fortunately, there was no black figure seen in the dream, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't feel like I'm sleeping well, I can't wake up no matter how I wake up." I muttered to myself.
Kong Xian heard it, walked behind me and patted me on the shoulder, comforting: "It should be tired on the road, don't think so much." ”
I nodded and said, "I shouldn't be able to sleep, you can sleep for a while, I'll keep watch." With that, I sat down next to the fire and added some firewood to it.
He said yes, but instead of entering the tent, he lay down next to me.
"Don't you go in?" I asked.
He smiled, and said in a rare and gentle tone: "No, I'm afraid that I will wake up, you have been abducted by others." ”
"Hush." I shook my head with a smile and sighed, "Except for you, I guess no one is willing to kidnap me, and I can't sell it for a few dollars." ”
Kong Xian didn't say anything more, Xu was too tired. He closed his eyes and leaned against my lap, and soon his breathing had stabilized.
Jokes aside, I know he's afraid I'm afraid I'll be outside alone, so he's reluctant to go into the tent. If the two of us are arguing about toughness and awkwardness, it will be really equal. It's obviously for the good of the other party, but he also wants to die and don't admit it. However, it is enough to know in your own heart and the other party's heart.
Today, Kong Xian suddenly mentioned something about getting married, presumably because Aunt Yang told me about kissing before, which stimulated him. I'm not sure what feelings he has for me, and I'm not sure what feelings I have for him. Anyway, I didn't want to be together, and I didn't want to give it to others, probably both of them felt this way.
Returning to this familiar position, I can't help but feel a little nostalgic for my childhood, and my mood also follows the memories for a while, laughing for a while and being sad for a while. At this time, I really realized what time is like sand in my hand, and in a blink of an eye, things are wrong.
There will be no one holding a flashlight all over the mountains and looking for the two of us to go home; No one will care if the two of us will be hurt or not, whether we have added clothes; When a prey is caught, no one will be happy to praise it.
Once, when a strip was drawn on his hand, the elders could feel distressed for a long time, although the way of expressing love was more "rough". But now, even if the corpses are all over the field, it is estimated that no one will find them in half a year.
Before I knew it, I was already wet with tears. Afraid of waking up Kong Xian, I could only desperately endure not making a sound, but I couldn't help the tears that kept slipping.
Sometimes I want to pull Kong Xian and ask him how his uncle and aunt died. But I knew that since he didn't want to say it, I couldn't ask anything, but it just aroused his heart.
looked down at the maturing Kong Immortal next to him, and the feeling of being in a different world was even more ......
In the silence, suddenly the sound of water reached my eardrums, interrupting my thoughts.
"Goo-dong...... Boom"
When I listened closely, it seemed to be coming from the water storage well.
The sudden sound startled me, but I thought that it was probably a toad jumping in the water, so I ignored it.
But after two seconds, the sound of the water not only did not stop, but seemed to get louder and louder. I felt that something was wrong, so I quickly took a flashlight in that direction, but I didn't find anything unusual, just the sound of the water kept clattering.
I want to go over and take a look, but I'm not worried about Kong Xian here. It's a dilemma......
The sound of the water sounded for about a minute or two before it stopped. I suddenly noticed that under the light of the flashlight, there was a faint shadow of a thief's head, trying to come up from the water storage well.
Fearing that the light of the flashlight would disturb the thing, I moved the light away a little. Just not facing the wellhead, and just being able to see the area of the wellhead.
It poked its head up, then retracted, and after a while it poked out again, as if it wanted to come up and was a little scared. I couldn't see what it was, although the light of the flashlight was bright, but the distance of the well was not close, and when the light of the flashlight was dispersed, I could only see a dark shadow.
The more I looked at it, the more wrong it became, it looked like a human head, and not only that, but it seemed to be about to climb up from the well.
I was horrified, and my eyes were fixed on the thing, afraid that it would be gone in a blink of an eye. On the other side, he hurriedly stretched out a hand to pinch Kong Xian, trying to wake him up.
Xu accidentally pinched his waist, and he let out a cat-like muffled grunt, and then quickly grabbed my hand. I got up, a little unconscious, lazily put my head on my shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
I pointed to the well and asked him to see what was going up.
He squinted for two seconds, not knowing what he had found, and snatched my flashlight from me and rushed towards the water storage well.
As soon as he saw someone approaching it with a flashlight, he climbed up and ran into the forest, and when he saw it running, Kong Xian also accelerated his speed and chased after it.
"Lying ...... Trough. I couldn't help but sigh.
The heart said: Is this bastard not at all measured? If he says to chase, he is not afraid of an ambush. I can't tell if it's a human or a ghost, so I chased it over so rashly......
I can't see Kong Xian's person, but I can see the flashlight in his hand. He didn't go far before he stopped, seemed to be entangled with the thing for a moment, and then began to walk back.
When they reached the place where the fire could shine, I realized that Kong Xian was holding a boy in his hand. He looked two or three years younger than us, and he was shorter, just a little taller than me. He was covered in black-gray sludge, and his hair was long and short, and I don't know if he cut it himself.
Kong Xian took out a relatively short rope from his bag, cut it in half, and tied the boy's hands and feet respectively. The boy struggled, but refused to speak.
His clothes were all wet, and the autumn night was cold, so I was a little worried that he would catch a cold, so I asked Kong Xian, "Do you want to help him change his clothes?" ”
Kong Xian looked at the struggling boy on the ground with a cold face, and said, "He's not honest, you can't change with him." If you put it on the fire, it will dry and it will freeze overnight. ”
When I thought about it, he was struggling like a carp, and he really couldn't change clothes with him, so I moved him to the fire.
"You're not going to sleep anymore, it's only past two o'clock." Kong Xian said.
I nodded, and then consumed it, and waited for tomorrow when it dawned, and returned the spirit of the fart. But I didn't plan to sleep in a tent, so I took a blanket in the tent and wrapped it around my body and slept next to the fire.
Kong Xian interrogated the boy in a low voice, and the boy ignored him, but Xu was tired or knew that it was useless to struggle, so his struggle was much less.
There was a little noise around me, but I slept soundly and didn't wake up until four o'clock. I rubbed my eyes and sat up wrapped in a blanket, seeing that Kong Xian was still thinking about something, looking at the fire in a daze.
I asked him to lie down and squint for a moment, and he nodded, took the blanket I handed him, wrapped it and lay it by the fire.
The boy had his eyes closed and seemed to be asleep, and I sat down next to him and reached out and touched his clothes to see if it had dried. Unexpectedly, the slight movement accidentally woke him up, and he looked up at me with a pair of eyes in horror.
Only then did I realize that the boy's eyes were very big and bright, as clever and clean as a sika deer, and I couldn't help but have a better impression of him.
"What's your name?" I whispered in his ear.
He still didn't speak, just looked at me......
Nine times out of ten, I thought to myself, this kid is mute. It was not difficult for him to answer, but he felt that he didn't know how to call him without a name, so he asked tentatively: "Since you don't want to say your name, I'll call you Xiaolubei?" ”
He didn't say yes or no, but seemed to see that I was more kind, so he raised his hand to me and wanted me to untie the rope with him.
It was impossible to untie the rope, so I had to smile gently at him and say, "When you can trust us, I will help you untie the rope, and I will wronged you now." ”
His expression was a little disappointed, like a wronged puppy. I couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic in my eyes, and I wanted to reach out and touch his hair, but he ducked back, and I took my hand back.
As soon as dawn came, we packed our things and got ready to set off again. The clothes on the fawn have been dried out, and he is not uncomfortable in his physique.
I took a biscuit from my bag and fed it to him, and he ate in a hurry, as if he hadn't eaten in days. When I was done, I fed him a few more sips of water to help him eat smoothly.
Kong Xian's eyes kept staring at the fawn, as if he wanted to see something from his face, but it didn't seem to have gained much. This kid gives me a very clean and innocent feeling, and there shouldn't be any problems. Due to the high risk of the environment in the mountains and the lack of living materials, it is easy for some orphans without parents to live like wild people in the mountains. Probably this is the case with fawns......
"What to do? Do you let him go, or do you want to take him back to the village? I asked Kong Xian.
Kong Xian's eyes were still very cold when he looked at the deer, and he said while nibbling on the biscuit in his hand: "Take him first, anyway, there is no shortage of him to eat or drink, but just let him accompany us for a while." If something unexpected happens in the future, he is now more familiar than us, and maybe he can help us. ”
I nodded, and then looked at the deer, his hands were purple and gray due to the lack of blood supply due to being tied overnight, and I couldn't bear to look at him, afraid that his hands would be useless if this continued. He walked up to him and said gently: "Xiaolu, we are going to the mountains, I want you to accompany us for a while, if you can promise not to escape, I will help you untie the ropes on your hands and feet, okay?" ”
The fawn looked at me silently, as if watching me, trying to see if I could be trusted. After a few moments, he nodded slowly.
I helped him untie one hand, and the other hand was still tied, but the knots were loose, just enough for his blood to circulate, but not to break free. The other part of the rope was tied to my wrist, so he could have plenty of room to move without being afraid of him running away.
