Chapter 44: Night in the Jungle
Zhuang Meiyan felt that she was about to lose her breath, and it took a lot of effort to squeeze out this sentence. Relief of residual jaw boils
Wife!
When this word came out of Zhuang Meiyan's lips, the bloodshot eyes suddenly melted into a trace of warmth, and the expressionless face gradually loosened, and the fingers were released.
Zhuang Meiyan was rescued.
She gasped for breath and desperately retreated, shrinking into the bushes and looking at Xiaobai in horror. Xiao Bai looked around blankly, like a big dream, obviously ignorant of what had just happened.
"Lady!" he said.
Raising his arm, seeing that his clothes were torn and there were scars, Xiaobai became more and more confused, scratched his scalp, and said, "Lady, lady." ”
"The clothes are torn, I didn't mean it, lady, Xiaobai won't dare to play next time. ”
After a long time, he actually said such a sentence.
Let him stir it up like this, Zhuang Meiyan couldn't help laughing. At this time, the sun was already in the west, and the temperature in the mountains and forests was dropping rapidly, Zhuang Meiyan was cold and afraid, her body was tense and stiff, and she shivered in a ball.
"Don't be angry, lady. Xiaobai squeezed over and sat next to her, "Lady, are you cold? Why are you shivering?" Xiaobai helped the lady cover her hands. ”
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on that handsome face with a clear outline, and the gaze was pure and undistracted. He pulled Zhuang Meiyan's small hands, rubbed them a few times, and then held them in the palm of his hand, gently snorting the heat, and rubbed them a few times, Zhuang Meiyan finally felt that his fingers could be bent slightly, and he finally regained consciousness.
She looked at the man in front of her with some gratitude.
"Much better. She said with a blushing face, trying to withdraw her hand.
"It's so cold, the lady's hands are so cold. Xiaobai refused to let go, muttering in his mouth, despite Zhuang Meiyan's objection, he still rubbed hard, and finally he simply put her hand into his arms and warmed the flesh.
"Whew!"
Zhuang Meiyan's face was flushed, and she couldn't help screaming, trying hard to break free of her hands. Xiaobai didn't know what to do, his eyes widened blankly, his hands were clenched tightly, and he frowned and said, "Don't move, lady, Xiaobai is afraid of itching, and it will be warm soon." ”
Zhuang Meiyan thought about it, Xiaobai is also a child's heart, honest, and by no means malicious, but he has too many worries. Somehow, I suddenly remembered that day when I was unconscious in the snow, I was warmed by the man in my arms, and the man said: "You and I are both upright people, no need to be afraid!"
The heart is full of mixed feelings, chaotic and uncertain.
Can all the people of the world be as open as he is?
The two of them leaned together, Zhuang Meiyan felt a little warmer, his mood calmed down a little, he calmed down, and suddenly remembered something, so he asked suspiciously: "Xiaobai, how did you come here?"
Xiaobai smiled and said with some embarrassment: "I came with the lady, the lady secretly went into the mountains to pick fruits to eat, and did not bring Xiaobai, Xiaobai wanted to follow." ”
He looked a little angry, and he looked very cute, and he said these words exactly like the mind of a child.
Only then did Zhuang Meiyan understand that he had secretly followed him out, and when he saw that he was in danger, he came out desperately to save himself, and he couldn't help but be a little moved in his heart.
"Fool, you can't send yourself into the wolf's mouth, how dangerous!"
"Wolves, where are the wolves?" Xiaobai was startled, and immediately got up and looked around, his face full of fear.
Zhuang Meiyan looked at his eyes, they were extremely clear, not like he was lying, it seemed that he didn't remember what happened just now, maybe it was the critical moment that stimulated the survival instinct of human nature, Zhuang Meiyan did not doubt him. She was afraid of scaring Xiaobai, so she said softly: "There is no wolf, I just make an analogy, don't be suspicious, come and sit down here." ”
Xiaobai relieved himself at this time, returned to Zhuang Meiyan's side, and hung his head boredly.
Zhuang Meiyan thought for a while, and then asked, "Xiaobai, can you remember anything from the past?"
"What happened before?" Xiao Bai's two good-looking eyebrows were about to wring out of the water, and after thinking for a long time, he stumbled and said, "What happened before? Oh, is it something I used to be with my mother." Lady, lady, tell me, what are we doing together?"
He seemed to understand what Zhuang Meiyan meant, and flatteringly took Zhuang Meiyan's hand and shook it vigorously. Zhuang Meiyan saw that he would be wrong, she couldn't cry or laugh, looking at him with an innocent face and not easy to scold, so she had to take advantage of him.
At the end, the guy muttered, saying that he couldn't remember what he had done with the lady before, and he had a headache, so he hummed and chirped and leaned his body towards Zhuang Meiyan's side, grinding and rubbing.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhuang Meiyan felt that his physical strength had recovered slightly, so he and Xiaobai supported each other and walked down the mountain with difficulty.
The two of them walked around the mountains for a long time, and the more they walked, the more confused they became, only to see bushes in front of them, or towering trees, these trees were a hug thick, and they looked like they were nearly a thousand years old. Zhuang Meiyan remembered that she had never seen such a thick tree when she walked over, she was not familiar with the path in the mountain, and she could still tell the direction more or less during the day, but now that it was dark, she didn't know where she was.
Xiaobai was even more unreliable, and it was useless to ask him, only blinking a pair of pitiful big eyes, looking at her innocently and helplessly.
"Lady, it's so dark!"
Zhuang Meiyan couldn't help but be anxious in her heart, there were many dark shadows on the hill at night, I don't know how many crises were hidden, and there was a terrifying wolf howl in the distance, circling and echoing in the valley. Zhuang Meiyan had just experienced a catastrophe, and when she heard this voice, she was terrified, and the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't distinguish the direction, so she only walked around in the forest.
Xiaobai suddenly said "Huh", stopped, pointed to a piece of white silk hanging on the branch, and said in surprise: "The lady's handkerchief has fallen." ”
"Why did the lady's handkerchief fall in front of you?" Xiaobai racked his brains and didn't figure out this question.
Zhuang Meiyan's heart was half cold, this was deliberately tied to a conspicuous place to make a mark, since she saw the white silk handkerchief in front, it means that they were going around in circles and went back to the same place. She looked up desperately, and the surroundings were dark, and when she looked up, only the branches of the towering ancient trees pierced the sky, the branches were intertwined, and the occasional night bird passed by, and the sound of fluttering wings added a bit of desolation to the lonely night.
"Lady, there's light over there. ”
Xiaobai tugged at her sleeve and pointed ahead.
Zhuang Meiyan squinted her eyes for a long time, she didn't see it, she thought it was Xiaobai's eyes, but Xiaobai insisted that she saw a bright light flashing past. Saying this, Zhuang Meiyan's scalp was even more numb, and he muttered in his heart, listening to the old people in the village say that there are some demons and charms in the old forest, specifically seducing lost people and stealing people's hearts.
The bright light that Xiaobai saw was not a trap for demons to lure people into the bait?
Xiaobai insisted that he could see it clearly, and pulled Zhuang Meiyan to walk forward, Zhuang Meiyan couldn't help himself, and he didn't dare to be alone at this time, so he had to follow him.
After walking for a while, the trees gradually thinned, and suddenly, the vision suddenly opened, as if coming to a large open space, next to a high hill, on which there seemed to be a large black shadow standing, and it was really not clear what it was in the night.
Zhuang Meiyan smelled the smell of smoke from the bonfire, and she was overjoyed, knowing that there must be someone here, and if she could go to spend the night, it would be better to stay in the mountains overnight, and there was no guarantee.
She and Xiaobai walked a few steps up the hill when they suddenly heard a loud shout.
"Who?"
