16. Qi Jue
He wasn't sure if he could really walk on his own, his left foot seemed to have undergone emergency treatment, there was an unfamiliar touch on his skin, and his ankle was not very moving, probably immobilized. But no matter what, he's a man after all—well, he's still a big boy for now—but the more he is eighteen or nineteen years old, the stronger he is and the more face-loving, whether it works or not, this mentality of not wanting to rely on others will always be there.
Originally, Qi Jue was still silent, but he didn't stop, and continued to move forward steadily. As a result, Hao Dong moved too hard, and the mountain road was slippery, and finally accidentally let him stumble under his feet, and almost threw the disobedient child out of his back. Now he finally couldn't be silent anymore: "Don't move! ”
Qi Jue's voice was low, and he spoke in a more stern tone at this time, obviously there were only two words, but Hao Dong suddenly trembled in his heart, and he didn't dare to speak or move.
seemed to feel that the child on his back was frightened by himself, and after a while, Qi Jue took the initiative to speak: "They are fine." ”
Just four words, he fell into silence again after speaking, but Hao Dong still understood it, and immediately became happy: "You have met Ergou?" Great, everyone's okay! ”
This time, Qi Jue still didn't speak, but his silence didn't seem to Hao Dong to lower the temperature around him a lot. It's even weird, he thinks that when he's happy that everyone is okay, he seems to feel that the other party's mood seems to be good.
Perhaps it was Qi Jue's sense of security that gave Hao Dong at this time overshadowed the terrible feeling he made Hao Dong feel before, and after walking out in silence for a while, Hao Dong couldn't hold back and spoke again: "Are we going down the mountain?" ”
Thinking of the villages at the foot of the mountain, Hao Dong was also a little worried. Although the overall impression of the villagers was not friendly, there were still warm-hearted people like Father Buga and Kabecha, and in any case, he did not want to see the bandits wash the village in blood.
Unexpectedly, there was a silence when he answered, but this time, probably because he was afraid that Hao Dong would toss something if he didn't get an answer, Qi Jue still burst out two words: "No." After two seconds, as if he could understand what Hao Dong was thinking, he added five more words: "Everyone is fine." ”
Hao Dong felt that Qi Jue must have been because he didn't like to talk too much, so his brain waves were particularly powerful. Otherwise, what he thinks in his heart, how can the other party guess? And the most amazing thing is that he just said so many words, and he actually understood it! He was telling himself that everyone in the village under the mountain was okay!
Thinking about these two children, they were happy by themselves, but then they were embarrassed, and when they laughed, they inevitably had some abdominal vibrations, and they forced out a string of "gurgling" sounds.
Qi Jue's speed, which had been walking steadily forward, finally slowed down, and he walked out for only ten meters before he heard a second "grunt", and this time he finally stopped.
Hao Dong felt that his face was hot enough to boil water, although it was not a shame to be hungry under the current conditions, but when he was lying on someone's back like this, he suddenly grunted like this, which really made him a little embarrassed to accept. Although he didn't know where this embarrassment came from, was he afraid that the other party would laugh at him or that the other party would dislike him?
But Qi Jue basically wouldn't act according to Hao Dong's expected script, and put Hao Dong under a tree on the side of the road, he neither laughed nor disliked it, just glanced at him and instructed: "Sit and don't move." He turned around and walked into the forest behind Hao Dong.
Hao Dong's large and small wounds on his body seem to have been basically treated, and he feels much better than in the early morning, but it is still not very convenient to move. Especially from the back of his head to his neck, he didn't notice it before, the back of his head was bled open, and after being bandaged simply, the whole head was not very convenient to turn, and he couldn't see what Qi Jue was doing at all.
They are now on a trail on the mountainside, and although the dirt road is not very smooth, it can be seen that it should be a relatively important passage, so it is basically still very road-like, and it is not the same as the road that needs to be found in the middle of the mountain forest.
He now had his back to the jungle that stretched all the way to the top of the hill, but there was an open field in front of him. There are not many trees on this section of the road, Hao Dong can see at a glance the endless sea of trees halfway up the mountainside, when the wind passes, the green waves are undulating, which will make people feel full of open-mindedness.
At this time, the sun was high, and the shade of the tree where he was placed was not large, but although he felt a little hot, it was not unbearable, and coupled with the rare beauty, it was not difficult to wait for the time when he could not move. What's more, Qi Jue didn't go for a long time, and it didn't take long for him to return to Hao Dong's side, and there was already a colorful pheasant with a broken neck in his hand.
Hao Dong's eyes lit up when he saw this thing, but then when he thought of the current difficult conditions, the light immediately dimmed again. Pheasant tastes beautiful, but it also depends on the situation, if you encounter old chicken will also be firewood, and there is no certain process, it will be the same as wild boar, it will have a fishy taste. Although it is not very strong, my stomach is still churning a little, and I am not sure that I will vomit disgusting when I smell that smell.
If you smell the smell and spit it out, it is equivalent to not being able to eat and continuing to lose face in front of Qi Jue, these two things Hao Dong didn't want to encounter at this time, he couldn't be entangled in his heart, and his face unconsciously brought out a look of distress.
Qi Jue glanced at him strangely, a little puzzled how this kid could change so many expressions on his face in one minute. However, Hao Dong was originally injured, and it was okay to be hungry all the time, so he didn't care about him, and directly put the person on his back, carried the pheasant, and walked back for a while.
It was a bend that had just passed, and because it was a bend, there was a small clearing in the woods not deep on the side of the road. There was a stilted building in it, not high, and only one room, and it was very dilapidated, but there were flint and steel in it, and some water and coarse salt, two rolls of covering, and even twenty dollars. Depending on the situation, it must be a public foothold for people from the neighborhood to pass by.
It was the first time Hao Dong saw the stilted building with his own eyes, and it was also the first time he saw this kind of foothold, and he looked around very curiously. Qi Jue put him in the house, and then went out with the pheasant again, and by the way, he brought the water jar and a piece of salt in the house.
This time Qi Jue has been gone for a long time, and there is nothing fun in this house after all, Hao Dong sat in it alone for a while, and then began to feel bored, thinking about it, he simply struggled to stand up, moved to the door of the house, and went to see what Qi Jue was doing.
When I came out of the house, I found that Qi Jue had already lit a fire in the small open space in front of the house, and there was a small pit on the ground on the left hand side that was not very deep, and there was chicken heads, chicken feet, chicken buttocks, intestines and other sewage and a large amount of chicken blood.
This picture may feel infiltrating from a different person's point of view, but it is nothing for Hao Dong, who still retains the memory of chef skills, he leaned on the bamboo railing in front of the door and looked around for a while, convinced that he didn't see the chicken that should have been processed, and suddenly became curious: "Little Qi Ye, where is the chicken?" "Can you just do it all by yourself?
Since Hao Dong started to move out of the house, Qi Jue heard his movements, but people who were used to silence would definitely not say anything about this situation. It wasn't until Hao Dong opened his mouth to ask that he got up from the fire, went upstairs in two steps, took Hao Dong's right arm, helped him to sit down by the fire, and then pointed to the fire to answer his question: "It's called Hua Ji." ”
Hao Dong was a little stunned at this moment, and he didn't even hear Qi Jue's words.
Thanks to the hat on Qi Jue's head, he has hardly had a chance to look at the other party's appearance carefully since he joined the team. That is, although this person is silent, he stands there with a very unusual momentum, and it is very easy to recognize, so he did not mistake him and others.
However, just now the other party helped him, and the two were very close, and he suddenly realized that this man seemed to be very good-looking, not only with a resolute lip and a chin, but also a straight nose, and the most surprising thing to him was the eyes that had been tightly covered by the brim of the hat.
Even in the shadows under the brim of the hat, those eyes were as bright as they could glow, and they were too bright to look at. It is conceivable that if he exposes his entire face, just those eyes will be able to fascinate half of the women in the city.
Hao Dong suddenly felt sad for Ergou, the level of competitors is so high, unless that guy is going for plastic surgery, he is only afraid that the probability of winning is not very low, but it is simply a loss.
