Chapter 47: Hunting
I bowed my head and whispered softly in the little witch's ear, "Xiaoxin, are you cold?" ”
The little witch smiled and said softly: "It's not cold, it's so warm in your arms." ”
But I knew that the little witch was saying things against her will, and looking at the way she shrunk up, I knew that she couldn't stand the cold.
I said, "Just now I saw that little pool in the middle of the valley seems to be steaming up, and I guess it must be a hot spring?" Let's go over and see, and if it does, it should be a little warmer for us to sit by the hot springs. ”
The little witch immediately straightened up, stretched her neck to look in the direction of the pool, and said, "Really? ”
I took off my coat and draped it over her shoulders, then took her hand and said, "Isn't it, just go and see, let's go!" She and I stood up and walked through the sea of flowers to the edge of the pool.
Sure enough, as soon as I approached the pool, I immediately felt that the temperature here was a little higher, but it didn't feel particularly warm. I crouched down and stretched my fingers into the water, it felt warm and comfortable, not hot at all.
I nodded and said, "It's a hot spring, but it's not very hot." But it's better than nothing, and at night, we'll sleep by the spring. I'm going to pick some flowers and plants to cover with a quilt! ”
The little witch also squatted by the spring and stretched out her hand to play with the water, and said with a smile: "Use flowers as quilts? Hehe, this was really extravagant before! ”
I smiled and said, "It's extravagant, but it's the only thing we can use now." With that, I began to lean over and pick up a handful of flowers.
The little witch said: "The dew is so heavy at night, can these flowers really drive away the cold when they cover the body?" ”
I was stunned for a moment and said, "At least it can block the wind, it's better than sleeping in the open." And we don't sleep like this every day, we always have to find a way to get out. ”
The little witch said "um", walked up to me, and picked it with me. In a short time, we picked a large number of flowers. I figured that it was almost enough, so I started to divide the pile of flowers into two parts, and spread them on the left and right.
The little witch watched silently, and suddenly said, "Brother Tang Qian, you don't want to ...... with me Sleep together? ”
I said as I shopped: "The two of us are always different from men and women, and it is not good to sleep together. Last night, there was no choice but to warm each other's bodies. Now that I have the conditions, I still don't need to be so embarrassed. ”
The little witch said faintly: "Brother Tang Qian, do you feel embarrassed when you sleep with me?" ”
I straightened up, walked up to the little witch, stroked her hair, and said softly, "Don't think about it, Brother Tang Qian didn't mean that." Well, go to bed early, and when you fall asleep, you won't feel tired and hungry. ”
The little witch was silent, and I helped her to lie down in the pile of flowers, and then piled them on top of her. The little witch leaned sideways, hugged herself with both hands and said, "It's cold and cold, it's not warm at all!" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then sighed softly: "I'll just go to sleep, as long as I survive tonight, I will definitely find a way to take you out tomorrow." ”
The little witch said "um", closed her eyes, and said nothing. I turned around and walked to the hot springs, washed my hands first, and then washed my face. The temperature of the spring water is moderate, and the skin feels comfortable. I suddenly felt a little thirsty, and I thought to myself, I don't know what ingredients this hot spring contains, will people have adverse reactions when they drink it?
It's a pity that my water quality meter was damaged during the flash flood and is no longer usable, otherwise I could have taken a rough measurement. I turned my head to look at the large flower field by the spring, and thought that since so many flowers could grow by the spring, this spring should be logically non-toxic, but on the contrary, it must be very rich in nutrients. We are trapped here, and if we can't get out for a short time, we will have to drink this water to quench our thirst. Or...... I'll try it with a sip first, and if it's really okay, I can let the little witch drink it tomorrow.
I made up my mind, holding the determination that I would not go to hell and who would go to hell, I held a pinch of hot spring in my hands and took a sip.
The entrance to this spring is slightly sweet and refreshing, with a little floral fragrance in it. As soon as I drank it, I suddenly felt like I was in good spirits. I was slightly surprised in my heart, and I thought to myself, what kind of spring is this? It's naturally sweet, and it's the best natural spring water I've ever drunk in my life. Well...... If you have the chance, be sure to do your research.
Thinking of research, I quickly turned back to the place where I had put my hiking bag, ready to find an empty bottle of water to take back to study. As soon as I opened my hiking bag, I suddenly heard the sound of teeth chattering from the pile of flowers where the little witch slept.
I took a closer look with the help of the starlight, but I saw that the little witch in the pile of flowers was constricting her body, and her body was trembling. I was taken aback, hurriedly shook her, and said, "Xiaoxin, what's wrong with you?" ”
The little witch fought with her teeth, made a bitter face, and said, "Yes...... Tang Qian's elder brother...... of ...... Pile of flowers...... Good...... of ...... It's cold! ”
I felt a pain in my heart, and hurriedly reached out to pick up all the flowers that were spread on her. Then he put his arms around her, rubbed her back with both hands, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was so cold." Right now...... Is it better? ”
After a while, a smile appeared on the little witch's face and she said, "Well, it's much better." Brother Tang Qian, you just hugged me to sleep like this at night, okay? ”
I nodded with guilt and pity, and said, "Okay, I'll hold you, you can sleep at ease!" ”
The little witch put her arms around my waist, adjusted her sleeping position, and said with a smile: "It's still in your arms...... It's comfortable! I really want to lie like this for the rest of my life and not get up! ”
I dragged my coat over the flowers, draped it over her, sighed, and lay down with her in my arms. Gently stroked her long hair, and said in a low voice: "Sleep, Brother Tang Qian will definitely take you out tomorrow." ”
At this time, a full moon emerges from the top of the mountain. The moonlight sprinkled on the valley floor, a hazy color. The little witch smiled and closed her eyes, and lay quietly on the ground with me. In the distance, a cool breeze blew slightly, passing by our bodies and brushing her long hair......
I don't know when I fell asleep, but when I woke up, it was already dawn. The little witch is still a cat sleeping soundly in my arms, and my hands and feet are completely numb and unconscious.
I looked up at the blue sky and the white clouds, and thought to myself that I had drunk the spring water and was still fine, so I was almost certain that this hot spring was drinkable. It's a good discovery, at least we won't die of thirst. It's just that we won't die of thirst or enough, we still have to fill our stomachs, this valley seems to have only flowers and plants, and nothing else, is it really that we can only eat flowers and plants for a living in the future?
In the midst of his troubles, he suddenly heard a murmuring sound among the flowers not far to the left, as if some animal was passing through.
Animal?
I sat up at once, ignoring the numbness of my hands and feet, and put down the little witch to hide myself and see what was going on. The little witch was suddenly woken up by me, rubbed her eyes and said, "Brother Tang Qian, what's wrong?" ”
I hurriedly "shh ”
As I spoke, I picked up a stone from the ground and quietly hid it to the left.
Sure enough, I saw a fat gray hare drinking water by the hot spring. I was so overjoyed that I almost drooled. Since I was trapped in the mountains, I have only eaten half a steamed bun. Now I'm so hungry that my chest is on my back, and I'm almost fainting from hunger. When I saw this hare, I felt like I saw a plate of meaty rabbit meat, and my saliva kept flowing out, and I couldn't stop it.
I suddenly heard a "grunt" next to me, and someone swallowed a mouthful of saliva. When I turned my head to look, I saw that the little witch had quietly crawled to my side, grabbed a stone in her hand, and was staring at the hare with her eyes shining.
I hurriedly made a gesture that we were going to flank it and that we had to catch it. The little witch nodded, and I continued to crawl to the other side, ready to close the left and right and block the rabbit's retreat.
Unfortunately, the hare was very alert, and made only a slight noise, and at once he stopped drinking, and pricked up his long ears to look around, ready to flee at any moment.
I immediately lay still, not daring to make any more noise. After a few seconds, there was a sound of flapping wings in the sky, and more than a dozen birds fell from the sky, landed on the edge of the spring, and began to drink. The hare seemed to be frightened, and immediately turned and ran. At this point, I couldn't wait any longer, so I picked up the stone in my hand, aimed it at the rabbit and threw it away.
It's just that my aim is too far off, and the hare is too fast. I didn't touch any of the rabbit's fur at all, but it made it run faster.
I jumped to my feet, and regardless of whether it was realistic or not, I threw myself at the rabbit with all my might. This flutter immediately alarmed the birds again. With a bang, they flapped their wings and flew up.
At this moment, the little witch flicked her arm and threw the stone in her hand with a "whirl", and hit the wing of one of the birds with a "poof". The bird screamed and fell.
I threw myself on the ground with a "plop", but I didn't catch anything, and the hare had long since gone.
I scrambled to my feet, and with remorse, I watched as a good meal slipped away. But I heard the little witch behind me call me happily: "Brother Tang Qian, look! ”
I turned around and saw her walking towards me with a smug expression holding up a large, unknown bird. The bird was in her hand, still struggling, and let out a mournful "oh oh".
