Chapter 8: Wu Fan's Confession
At the turn of the sun and the moon, in a mountain forest, Zhang Xiu and Wu Fan finally stopped after a bumpy journey.
He rolled over and dismounted, then bolted the horse to the trunk of a tree on one side.
Lying on his back on the weeds that had grown a lot taller overnight, Wu Fan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alive!" It's so nice".
Zhang Xiu lifted her left leg lightly, and slowly sat on the weeds, then pulled up the trouser leg that had become a little stiff because it was stained with blood, and looked at the swollen and painful wound.
Sure enough, now the whole calf was swollen, so swollen that it was almost enough to compete with his thigh. However, the wound had already scabbed.
Glancing at the trouser legs that had become stiff due to blood, Zhang Xiu lifted the front hem of the soft armor on his body and took off his pants, preparing to tear off the bloodstained part.
Because the feeling of dry blood grinding against the swollen wound is too painful.
"Why is it so swollen, does it hurt your bones?" Wu Fan asked, looking at Zhang Xiu's injury.
Zhang Xiu faded his wounded pants little by little, and replied, "No."
"That's good," and then Wu Fan's eyes inadvertently swept upward, "You're quite expected."
"Roll"
"Okay"
After grinding a small hole in the bloodstained part of the pants with a knife, Zhang Xiu struggled to tear off a trouser leg.
After putting on his pants again, Zhang Xiu pulled the silk cloak behind him, tore off a piece of fabric with the help of Wu Fan, and then wrapped it around his calf.
After all this, the two of them lay on their backs on the weeds on the hillside.
The two of them were exhausted from a night of beating and rushing, and as the sun shone through the green leaves, the deep tiredness beat at their eyes like the waves of the sea.
Thinking about what happened last night, they really don't dare to sleep now, in case there are wolves here.
Forcibly cheering up, Wu Fan looked up and looked around.
After a closer look, he noticed that there was no movement in the vicinity except for the calls of some birds, and then he lay down again.
After lying down, Wu Fan looked at the green leaves growing from the branches and said, "Last night, thanks to you stopping the wolf in the back, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to escape at all."
"I also picked up a life thanks to you, if you hadn't stabbed that wolf to death in time, I would have died" Thinking of the scene at that time, Zhang Xiu said with palpitations.
"Haha, I was also stupid at the time, completely driven by fear, I subconsciously stabbed a shot."
After a while, Wu Fan spoke again, "When you asked me to untie the reins, did you ever think that I would leave you alone and run away by myself?" ”
Zhang Xiu closed her eyes and enjoyed the temperature of the sun, and shook her head, "At that time, I also said that you would let you escape by yourself."
"It's different, you're talking about if you can't break out of the encirclement, I'm talking about whether you can break out of the encirclement or not."
"No" the situation at that time was so critical, Zhang Xiu didn't have time to think about it so much.
"I have" Wu Fan turned his head to look at Zhang Xiu, and said with a serious expression, "The moment I untied the reins, I thought about running away regardless of whether you got on the horse or ran away."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiu opened his eyes and looked at Wu Fan, and after a while, he retracted his gaze and said, "But you didn't do it, did you?"
"That's because I thought at the time that if the world really ends, it is better for those two people to be together than to be alone" After saying his true thoughts, Wu Fan turned his head easily.
"Why do you want to say it, aren't you afraid that I won't trust you anymore?"
"It's just to make us trust each other more, so I said, in the end of the world, partners can only go further if they are open and honest with each other, without the slightest selfishness and concealment."
"You're very honest"
"Then can we now be trusted partners with each other?"
"I like honest people", and then Zhang Xiu added, "If you can always be honest".
"Don't worry about this, I've always been very honest" After making a promise, Wu Fan grinned, "That... Now can I work hard for you and pay attention to the wind, I'm almost sleepy, I want to sleep."
Zhang Xiu "......"
Hey, you've said so much, you're paving the way for this sentence.
Wu Fan's openness and honesty made Zhang Xiu thoroughly realize the importance of guarding against people, after all, people are unpredictable.
Looking at Wu Fan, who was lying on the ground and already asleep, Zhang Xiu shook his head.
He... Don't worry about it.
Regardless of whether Wu Fan is really sleeping or fake sleeping now, he can turn his back to himself, which shows that he has shown the greatest kindness to himself.
For those who trust him, Zhang Xiu will naturally trust him.
Sitting on the ground, looking at the lush mountains and forests in front of him, and the two horses chewing weeds, Zhang Xiu had a lot of thoughts in his heart.
He was now thinking about the end of the world that Wu Fan had said.
If it's really the end of the world, then the wolves they encountered before have also been encountered in other places.
In just a dozen hours, he has experienced too many incredible things, although he doesn't understand what caused these things to happen, but now he just wants his family to live safely.
As long as his family is alive, he can face it calmly, no matter how bad the world is.
For those who care about it, it is a haven from the wind, a destination for the soul, and a fatal weakness.
And for those who don't care about it, it's a burden, and at the same time a good weapon against others.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Xiu casually plucked a tender green blade of grass on the ground and put it in his mouth, he was already hungry after running for so long, but in addition to grass and trees in this barren mountain range, of course, there is no shortage of soil and stones, and there is no food to satisfy hunger.
Looking at the tender grass on the ground, Zhang Xiu pulled out a piece and put it in his mouth and chewed it.
The taste of "phew" was not very good, and Zhang Xiu spit it out after chewing it a few times.
At this time, the two horses on one side barked a few times, and Zhang Xiu glanced at them, "Eat yours"
Because of the sky blocked by the branches and leaves of the trees in the forest, Zhang Xiu didn't see the nine black lights shooting down from the sky.
He didn't know that one of them had landed less than three thousand miles away from him. If calculated by the speed at which the beasts moved, it would only take them two days to reach the place where Zhang Xiu was.
An hour later, he was really hungry, and Zhang Xiu woke up Wu Fan.
"What's the matter, is the wolf chasing after you?" A spirit, Wu Fan, stood up suddenly.
Zhang Xiu also stood up with Guan Dao on his hand, "Don't worry, the wolf didn't chase you, you are a local, look at where we are now"
Wu Fan is from HB, and the location of their filming this time happened to be less than 70 miles away from Wu Fan's house.
Hearing that it wasn't a wolf chasing him, Wu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, then yawned and rubbed his eyes, "How do I know about this barren mountain and wilderness, besides, I have been running away for so long on a horse last night, I have long been confused."
Seeing that Wu Fan was unreliable, Zhang Xiu walked to the horse with a knife, untied the reins tied to the tree, and stepped on the stirrups to get on the horse.
"Let's go, now it's just a matter of luck, and I hope there aren't wolves like we did."
"Haha, think about the thing in your body, do you think it's possible, even if people in other places don't encounter wolves, it will be other beasts" Wu Fan said after getting on the horse.
"Leave that alone, the first thing to do is to find food quickly, or we will be starved to death before we are killed by the wolves.
With that, the two of them urged their horses to run out of the mountains and forests.
After riding aimlessly and running in the mountains for forty minutes, Zhang Xiu and the others finally found a small village in a small mountain pass.
After a rush of horses, Zhang Xiu and the others came to the mountain village not far away, but when they saw the situation in the village, they directly vomited out the only little sour water left in their stomachs.
