"I don't need your protection, I have Xiaojin by my side, and those beasts can't hurt me." Suna rubbed the leaf in her hand again, "The message left on the leaf says that we can't set off until the sun rises, otherwise we will get lost." ”
It will be like at the bottom of the mountain, and it will keep going around in circles until the physical strength is exhausted. At that time, there was dry food, but now I am afraid that I have to sleep in the open.
Su Na became very sensible, pointed at Liu Zhuxue and Little Phoenix and said: "Can men think more about the women around them before they succeed, you see how long the two of them can last, and how long I can hold on!" ”
"Isn't it dangerous for us to sleep on the floor?" Dai Guozi retorted angrily.
Su Na pointed to another sign pointed out by Xiao Jin: "Since you said that you want to settle down and rest, you must have been prepared for a long time, you come with me." ”
Gu Changming found that the night in the southwest was obviously coming later and slower. In Kaifeng this season, it is impossible to pull and pull for so long at dusk, and at this time, there are still embers on the edge of the sky, and it seems that time is about to slow down.
Suna led a few people to another place, grabbed the blade in her hand, and raised her head high: "Look at it." ”
No need to give any more hints, the towering canopy of the trees, looming with wooden huts, the size of two or three people to squeeze in and sleep for a night.
"This kind of forest hut is usually in pairs, and once you find one, draw a circle within five steps of the neighborhood, and you will definitely be able to find the other." Su Na's words fell, and Liu Zhuxue had already found it.
"I'll go up and have a look." Gu Changming doesn't give others a chance, these trees look very tall, and it is not difficult to go up, after all, the people in the village do not know martial arts, so they are prepared in advance. Wooden stakes are made at half-height intervals to make it easier for your feet to step up. Gu Changming found these and arrived at the hut without much effort.
The facilities of the hut were simple, half of the room was made of raised planks for lying down and resting, and the fabric was covered with wide leaves under the planks. He bent down and pulled it out, not too wet to cover his body. There is a small cabinet next to it, and when I open it, I can see a few small pieces of dry food wrapped in the same leaves.
Gu Changming took a closer sniff, it was probably updated not long ago, and the taste was quite fresh, and it could be eaten. Tielang Lake is next to it, and the drinking water problem is easily solved.
When he jumped from the canopy and landed, he told everyone what he had seen in the hut. Su Na had never seen what it was like in the hut, and when she heard Gu Changming say it, she immediately thought of complimenting her when she returned to the village.
"I live on the other side with the fruit, and you live here." Gu Changming didn't have the courage to squeeze together with the two women, as long as anyone who had walked in the forest would know that the canopy was the safest place in the entire forest, and beasts couldn't climb up, even if they smelled the smell of the living, there was still no way to hunt. So, you can get a good night's sleep tonight.
Dai Guozi was very satisfied with this arrangement, allowing him to sleep together with Liu Zhuxue under the cover of the night, he really didn't dare to think about it, and nodded again and again: "Since it is said that there is food on it, then just bring water up." ”
"Can you go up?" Gu Changming is more concerned about this. The three of them seem to have soft hands and weak feet, and if they fall down halfway, the gains outweigh the losses.
"The little phoenix is in front, my palace is behind, and Suna is walking in the middle." Liu Zhuxue glanced at Dai Guozi quickly, her eyes were shy and timid, fortunately, Gu Changming didn't say just now that it was still according to the arrangement in the coffin. Otherwise, is it better for her to agree or to refuse!
"Just go up and I'll bring you water later." Gu Changming gave the little phoenix a warm smile, "You can." ”
The little phoenix pushed up the trunk of the tree with one hand, easily jumped to the second floor, and looked back at Suna who was standing still below.
Liu Zhuxue coughed politely, Su Na knew the danger after dark better than anyone, this time she didn't waste much time, and used her hands and feet together. The little phoenix always went up to the next level, waited, was very patient, and didn't mean to laugh at Su Na. Su Na went from being awkward at the beginning to letting go of her hands and feet later, and her speed was not slow.
"Go up too, fruit." Gu Changming watched as Little Phoenix's hand rested on the door frame of the tree house, and then bent down to drag Su Na in, "I'll go get some water for them, you pay attention to the surroundings." ”
Although Dai Guozi is average, after all, he is a man, and his arm strength is sufficient, and he arrived almost at the same time as Liu Zhuxue. The two looked at each other and smiled, and the fruit was in a good mood, rolling in, making Xiaozhu laugh.
Gu Changming delivered water a total of three times, packed it in a simple container, and set it out separately. The inside of the tree house was not big, and he hung it outside with one hand, and asked Liu Zhuxue to check the stored dry food and confirm that there was no problem before returning to the other side.
Dai Guozi saw Gu Changming flying directly from the small window, and the branch in the middle could not pose a threat to him at all: "I said, can you fetch water for yourself?" ”
Gu Changming knew that the fruit was thirsty, so he didn't break this careful thought, and also rolled it up with big leaves and filled it with clean lake water. The two of them raised their heads and drank first, and the rest washed their faces and hands, and splashed out the window. The sound of splashing water came from the treehouse opposite, and it soon fell silent again.
Dai Guozi put his arm behind his head, although the bed was simple, his body had not been so comfortable for a long time: "Suna said that the night is scary, what will it be?" ”
"All kinds of beasts, this is still within the range of Ah Jiu Mountain, there are wolves, wild dogs, and Wong Tai Sin, and everything ordinary people encounter is dangerous." Gu Changming broke the dry food and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, "The village where Su Na lives is better than I thought." ”
Dai Guozi snatched the other half, stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Because of these tree houses? ”
"The village that Su Na described at the beginning gave me a very primitive feeling, most people have never come out to see it, although they are good at raising Gu worms, it is still a very old way of life." Gu Changming looked around and said, "However, if you look at the structure of the tree house, the objects placed in it, there are wise people in the village, so they can be managed in an orderly manner." ”
"Is this a good thing or a bad thing for us?" Dai Guozi finally swallowed the dry food, leaned over and asked.
"It's a good thing, there is a wise man in charge of the stockade. Then Suna's identity is just a Gu mother, even if she is taken captive by Guobo for a while, no one will infringe on her status. Because the Gu Mother is just a symbol of being arched high, the real power in the village only belongs to the wise. Gu Changming's fingers tapped twice on the head of the bed, "Isn't it our wish that she can live a safe life after she goes back?" ”
"She doesn't seem to say how much she likes you anymore, and she's going to follow you again." After listening to the serious words, Dai Guozi squeezed his eyebrows at Gu Changming, "I obviously want to squeeze the little phoenix away, do you know that you can't beat others, so you give up." ”
Gu Changming was not angry at all, and chuckled: "Phoenix knows my mind, what you say or what Suna says is useless." We've been through this hardship, and it's not a bad thing. You and Miss Liu are just as good as they are. She has no parents now, if you want to treat her well, when we are well, take her to meet Master Sun, it can be regarded as the approval of the elders. ”
Dai Guozi was not embarrassed at all, but agreed with Gu Changming's words: "I also have no parents, fortunately there is a godfather, and the godfather must like her when he sees her." After he finished saying this, he beat his brain again, Sun Youxiang had already seen Liu Zhuxue, and he also knew her identity, where was there any reason to be dissatisfied.
He arranged his own affairs, and came to worry about others: "You didn't ask how the little phoenix came out of Qi Kunmen. Her skills are obvious to all, and if she is not one of the best in that place, she must be top-notch. There is no reason to say that she will leave if she leaves, doesn't Qi Kunmen come to the door to block her? ”
"I didn't ask, she would naturally say it when she wanted to." Gu Changming turned over, and he didn't mean to continue the topic.
Dai Guozi stared at his back, what is this, this person is afraid that he has already guessed the ins and outs, but he kept his mouth shut at the most critical time, allowing others to think wildly, and it was a mess, I am afraid that he couldn't find the answer even after spending a lot of effort. If you don't say it, don't say it, go back and ask yourself.
After a quiet night stolen after extreme fatigue, Dai Guozi soon fell asleep. When I was sleeping soundly, I heard a very harsh sound, and I woke up with a spirit all over my body.
Gu Changming was more alert than him, got up and sat up early, made a silent gesture at him, and gestured twice under the tree house.
Dai Guozi stuck his whole body on the ground, rubbed it silently, and poked out half of his head to look down. It was already midnight, the moonlight was setting, and the treehouse was so high that he could vaguely see something walking underneath, but he couldn't see it clearly.
The harsh sound that had just reappeared was caused by the claws of the beast scratching at the trunk of the tree. He turned his head and asked, "Will they climb up?" ”
Gu Changming shook his head, those below were all smelling the smell, first going around underneath, and then making sure that the smell of fresh food came from the canopy, surrounding the two trees. It's a pity that the wise man in the village is very experienced, and he calculated that there is no one who can climb trees in the mountains, and even if the pot explodes underneath, the people living on it still do not have any danger.
Dai Guozi pointed to the other side again, wanting to see the situation on the other side. At such a distance, the movement on the opposite side was almost invisible, just quiet, without the slightest sound. Maybe the three were so tired that they slept with their heads covered, and they didn't even notice what was happening under the tree.
Gu Changming lay back and left his back to Dai Guozi. Dai Guozi muttered silently to his back, and honestly lay down on the other side.
The three people in the treehouse on the opposite side were not so relieved, it was a woman's nature to be afraid of wild beasts, even if her martial arts were good, Liu Zhuxue still hid in the corner of the treehouse and shivered. Little Phoenix tossed the only fabric over and let her cover her head to keep her safe. Then he walked over, hugged the whole person, and gently patted his back with one hand.
Suna's eyes widened in vain and she saw nothing, she only knew that since the treehouse was built, there was no precedent for the people in the stockade to be bitten by wild beasts at night, even if they returned late. Instead, she was the first to fall asleep again.
The little phoenix doesn't say a word, and if the human voice stimulates the beast, then keeping quiet is the best way to deal with it. The two of them hugged each other in a daze and slept separately in the second half of the night until dawn.
