Chapter 26: Dreams

I don't know if it's an illusion, Liu Qing felt that it was getting dark earlier and earlier recently, and the temperature seemed to be a lot lower, which made him a little panicked. But it should be right to think about it, it happened to be autumn when he fled, and in terms of time, it should be November now, and it will be winter soon, and these changes should be normal. He thought that he should stock up on more food now to cope with the coming winter, but he had noticed that the vegetation here had no fallen leaves at all, and it was still a large area of green, and he thought that his location was similar to before the accident, in the Jiangnan area, so it would be better to have a better winter.

dragged a large bundle of things back to the cave, and before entering the cave, he heard Xiao Wu's wailing voice, Liu Qing thought that something was wrong with Xiao Wu, and hurriedly opened the door, Xiao Wu saw Liu Qing, jumped up and threw himself into his arms. Liu Qing hugged Xiao Wule and comforted him for a while. The little guy is probably suffocated in the hole, but he can't open the door, so he can only stop at the entrance of the cave and scream.

I don't know when the fire is extinguished, and the fruit next to Xiao Wu has already eaten it, and a few pieces of meat are gone. There was still a tube of water left, Liu Qing simply made some food for the two of them, and Xiao Wu, who was full of food and drink, was very excited, and circled around Liu Qing, but Liu Qing didn't have the time to play with it now, and he could still see things clearly while it was dark, and hurried to make more arrows.

waited until the moon was on the branches, Liu Qing was still at the entrance of the cave, taking advantage of the moonlight to catch up with the work. Xiao Wu was already tired of playing, and he was sleeping on the "bed" by himself, Liu Qing glanced into the cave, and he couldn't see anything in the dark inside, but Xiao Wu's breathing could be heard very clearly.

Liu Qing was about to finish work and go to bed, when he suddenly heard a noise outside. Don't look at it, it's definitely the little animals playing outside again. Liu Qing put away the arrows, and when he returned to the cave, he accidentally knocked down something, and he quickly reached out and touched it to help him up. When I caught it in my hand, I saw it by the moonlight, and it was actually the venom collected today.

I heard a noise outside, and an animal whined. Liu Qing suddenly thought, yes, why not take this opportunity to use a bow and arrow to test whether this venom will work! At the same time, you can also try your own archery skills, and I don't know if there will be any results after practicing for so many days. One thing he knows very well is that the difficulty gap between shooting stationary targets and shooting moving targets is very large, not only to judge the distance, the target's action, but also to combine the flight speed of the arrow, give a good amount of advance, otherwise it is extremely difficult to hit. If you're shooting at a moving target in motion, it's even more difficult.

Although Liu Qing has been training hard, and now he can basically hit nine out of ten shots, and more than two shots can hit the bull's-eye, but he is all under the premise of stationary, as for actual combat, he really hasn't tried it.

After taking five arrows, opening the venom box, there was not much venom left, but it didn't matter, as long as you could dip a little bit on the arrow, poke the arrows of the five arrows into the small box, and gently shake the small box a few times to confirm that they were all stained with venom, and then he took the bow and arrow, and quietly stood on the stone steps, his head drilled through the gap in the top of the hole, and looked out. Under the white moonlight, Liu Qing even had the illusion that he could see a leaf on the ground clearly.

Sure enough, there are still some animals like wolves and dogs, small in size, but they look very athletic, seven or eight larger ones, I don't know where to catch an animal, are gathering together, burying their heads and biting desperately, while there are a few smaller ones, are chasing and fighting. Let's just call them coyotes!

"The distance is about fifteen meters, and there is no wind!" Liu Qing observed through the moonlight, muttering silently in his heart.

First stuffed the bow and arrow, put it on the big rock, and the upper half of his body slowly poked out, the gap was not big, and his half of his body was still a little squeezed, but fortunately, the upper body was basically not restricted from moving.

Stretch your bow, shoot your arrows, aim and shoot!

A series of movements he has long been proficient in.

"Whoosh"

An arrow flew steadily forward, targeting several wolf-like animals in a circle.

"Woohoo!" as he shot the arrow, the sound of an animal roaring was heard. Liu Qing subconsciously felt bad, he really didn't expect that these animals would have someone to stand guard for them when they had a meal, and he was discovered because of his carelessness.

Surrounding an animal that did not know what the corpse was gnawing and devouring, they heard this howl and knew that it was dangerous, and they scattered and fled in all directions. Liu Qing originally shot at the body of a wolf-shaped animal, but when it jumped after being frightened, the arrow missed the target, but it happened to hit its left thigh joint.

By the moonlight, Liu Qing saw that the coyote's body trembled, and then he wailed, and when he landed, the hind legs that were hit could not support it, and the back half of his body fell directly to the ground, and the arrow was still firmly inserted in its legs.

However, it only fell to the ground for a moment, then it stood up and staggered towards its companions. The little wolves also fled in panic, each looking for their elders to chase after them. However, these little coyotes are not in Liu Qing's consideration at all, first of all, the target is too small and not easy to hit, and secondly, they have been running and jumping, and occasionally they will only take a bite of meat, and their restlessness is too frequent, so they are not suitable as targets at all.

Liu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, because he had clearly seen that he had hit the target, which was enough, and the food reserve was enough, and he didn't want to hunt these animals now. Now all he had to do was keep an eye on the coyote that had been hit.

However, to his disappointment, the coyotes seemed to be very clever, and although only one of them had been attacked, they had gradually fled, and soon, along with the wounded coyote, had disappeared into the dense forest.

"The vigilance is too high!" Liu Qing said secretly. He had no goal, and he didn't dare to follow outside the cave alone, so he had to put away the bow and arrows on the boulder, and then shrink his belly and chest as hard as possible, and then his whole body was withdrawn from the gap back into the cave.

turned on the flashlight, added some firewood to the fire, and confirmed that the gate had been closed again, so he quietly walked to Xiao Wu's side and lay down with his clothes.

Having a fire is a lot of benefits. Although this cave is not deep, but because of the perennial avoidance of light, the entrance of the cave is also covered by various weeds, when Liu Qing first came, he always felt that it was very damp, and there were some small insects that he had never seen. But when he lit a fire in the cave, it was obvious that it was not only much warmer, but also less damp. Liu Qing lay on the grass and thought slowly, fire is really a good thing, in addition to being able to eat hot cooked food, it can also drive away cold and dampness, it is really worthy of being the source of human civilization and progress!

Sometimes, as soon as people lie down, their thoughts will be like a wild horse that has escaped from the reins, flying everywhere, as if it is not controlled at all, perhaps it is precisely because of this that people will have so many bizarre and strange dreams!

It seemed that he was half-asleep and half-awake, Liu Qing felt that someone was calling him in his ear, and when he opened his eyes, he was standing on the training ground, and the captain of the thundering brigade was watching from the side, "Liu Qing, how did you train on a dog day, you look at your soldiers, they all look like they're angry!"

"Captain, just finished running a 10-kilometer cross-country ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, Captain Lei Ming shouted again: "What's the matter! Ten kilometers is amazing? Go, run me around the training ground for another twenty laps! If you can't finish running, you're not allowed to eat!"

He was just about to run in the whole team, the picture changed again, he stepped out, but into his own door, there was an unbearable sound inside, as soon as he heard this sound, he immediately knew that it was his wife, that vicious woman! Suddenly, Liu Qing was angry, rushed to the bedroom door with an arrow step, raised his right foot, and kicked his combat boot heavily on the door of the room.

With a "bang", he kicked the door of the room open, and a pair of dog men and women were doing things in the bed. Liu Qing was furious, raised his hand and touched the pistol on his waist, and shot indiscriminately at the bed...... Before the gunshots fell, he heard a child crying, and he was startled, and hurriedly followed the source of the sound, which was the sound from the bathroom.

"Xiaobao, Xiaobao!" Liu Qing cried out with a crying voice, and pushed open the door of the bathroom, and the bathtub inside was already full of water, the faucet was still flowing, and the water in the basin overflowed, gathering at the mouth of the sewer. In the bathtub, a baby sat inside, slapping the water with one hand, smiling at Liu Qing, and shouting: "Dad, Dad-Dad......"

Liu Qing burst into tears in an instant, rushed up, hugged the baby, and kept saying, "Xiaobao, I'm sorry, Dad is late! I'm sorry, Dad is late......"

Liu Qing closed his eyes, tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, cold and cold.

Xiaobao's face was against his cheek, making him feel very comfortable and at ease.

"Woo ......"

The sound in his ears seemed to be Xiaobao crying, Liu Qing was stunned, opened his eyes, but found that he was holding Xiao Wu, maybe too hard, Xiao Wu struggled a little, his plush face twisted back and forth, rubbing Liu Qing's face, a little itchy.

It's dawn.

It was a dream last night!

However, the tears in the corners of Liu Qing's eyes were not dry, and the tear stains were still there, so he hugged Xiao Wu's arm harder, but with force, he properly loosened the gap to make Xiao Wu more comfortable.

Xiao Wu seemed to feel Liu Qing's love for it, and quietly let him hold him, and also lay on Liu Qing's chest very well, with his head resting on Liu Qing's shoulder, as if he enjoyed this feeling very much.

Restraining his emotions a little, Liu Qing patted Xiao Wu's buttocks, and said with a smile: "It's time to eat, there is still a lot of work to be done after eating!"

Letting go of Xiao Wu, it jumped off Liu Qing's body and stood aside staring at him. Liu Qing stood up, habitually patted his buttocks, walked to the side of the shoulder bag, took out a few fruits, cut them apart, and cut off two pieces of jerky with a dagger as breakfast for the two.
