Chapter 15: The Appearance of the Masked Man (Revised Version)
The island is intertwined, there are many lush trees, many of which are tall weeds, and now they have been artificially managed, and every day there will be people who hunt for wild animals on the island and then release them in other places, and the chance of encountering poisons is not very large.
The midday sun has begun to turn hot, and the jungle makes people feel that it is a good place to put down roots, and listen carefully to the crisp chirping of many birds, which is refreshing.
Zhang Maru came to the depths of the jungle, made sure that no one else was nearby, and began to implement the so-called plan...
On the other side of the grass, a pair of skeletal and slender hands kept stroking back and forth on the head of a small animal.
"Master, what do you say this man is going to do?"
He leaned lazily against the tree beside him, still with that evil smile under the mask, and when he heard the words of the little animal in his arms, he looked at the figure walking around in front of him, evoking a faint laugh, and his rather magnetic voice sounded, "Interesting! Interesting! ”
There are many trees here, some of which are covered with different wild fruits, and Zhang Maru looked back and forth at this and then at that one, and finally chose one of the trees that looked the tallest.
Zhang Maru rubbed her palms and prepared to climb the tree, but she didn't expect it to be more difficult than she imagined.
"I'm so angry, I used to be a master of tree climbing, why can't I go up now?" Zhang Maru scratched her cheeks angrily, thinking that the more people lived, the more she went back, she kept pacing back and forth under the tree.
After some thought, Zhang Maru thought that there was no need to consume, since the task had increased in difficulty, then he would rise to the challenge.
This time she simply let it go, took off her shoes directly, increased the friction, clapped her hands, and continued to climb up...
"It's finally a success!" Zhang Maru exclaimed, sat down and glanced back again.
That's high! Heaven willing, you must succeed! She prayed silently in her heart.
This tree is almost three meters, the person is not half as tall as it, Zhang Maru, who successfully went up, did not feel very well, there are not many tree trunks that can sit on people, this tree only has this branch enough to support her body, but she will fall down if she moves at will.
The purpose of her adventure was to pick the wild fruit at the edge of the tree, to test if anyone would take advantage of it.
She gave up for a short time, feeling that her brain had been kicked by a donkey, such a stupid solution was her only failure in many years, but she was unwilling not to try.
Zhang Maru wanted to know if the other party would hide in the dark to observe her every move for the sake of Yu Pei, and she also wanted to know if there was anyone in the company who was the other party's eyeliner, and the person who could poison her mother must be someone familiar with her.
She had to know who it really was!
Zhang Maru simply let it go, deliberately leaning to the side, and then her center of gravity fell unsteadily, and she had to close her eyes.
said that it was too late, and then it was too fast, Zhang Maru felt that his shoulders and legs were pinched by a warm hand, and instantly fell into a warm embrace...
She didn't feel a cordial greeting with the ground, and couldn't help but open her eyes. I was greeted by a man wearing a mask.
The hairstyle of the person in front of her was three or seven points, and the mask separated half of the face, due to the extreme distance, she faced the obvious Danfeng eyes, and there was a slight subtle change.
Zhang Maru felt that this look was very familiar, but she didn't have the impression of where she had seen it in her mind, and her bright eyes were full of smiles, but they were full of loneliness and loneliness, which made her want to reach out and touch it.
She stretched out her hand in a daze, and the other party's rather magnetic voice rang out unhappily and slowly.
"How long are you going to stay in my arms?"
His voice is gentle and magnetic, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze, and people will not feel that they will sink into it......
Zhang Maru realized that he was in the other party's arms, his face flushed, smiled awkwardly, and then jumped out of his arms.
The eyes under the mask changed, and the hand paused slightly in the air, revealing a reluctance that he couldn't even perceive in that moment.
"That's... Thank you so much for saving your life, but I don't seem to have you in my team. ”
After standing still, Zhang Maru completely forgot her purpose this time, and politely raised her eyes to ask him.
The other party showed a demonic smile, and replied unhappily: "I am the second batch to come in, and it is normal that you have not seen it." ”
"Then why are you wearing a mask?"
"I like it."
"Oh."
As if thinking of something wrong, Zhang Maru suddenly stared at the man vigilantly.
"No, are you the one who called?" She directly picked out the topic, and her hands turned into a defensive posture, as if she was going to be beaten up in the next moment.
Seeing her defensiveness, the man was not in a hurry, and the smile deepened in his mouth: "Little sister, you want to know me like that?" Want my contact details? ”
The corners of Zhang Maru's mouth twitched, this person had a good voice, why did she say something that made her want to beat someone.
"Are you sure you haven't made a weird phone call lately?" Zhang Maru didn't let go of his defensive posture, and asked suspiciously, staring at it with his eyes, trying to see a clue.
She knew that even if the other party was that person, maybe she would not be able to resist at all, but she still wanted to take a gamble and be ready to take off the other party's mask at any time.
"What strange calls? I don't even understand what you're talking about? Or did I save you, and you want to make a promise? ”
The masked man said shameless words lightly.
Zhang Maru went away in an instant, her face flushed: "You... Rogue! ”
At the same time, I thought to myself, is it really not him?
Zhang Maru slowly put down the gesture, still doubting in his heart that he would not have anything to do if the other party pretended.
"It's not good for you to do this, but I was kind enough to save you, you see."
The masked man looked aggrieved, and after speaking, he raised his beautiful big hand and pointed to his arm, where there was already a blood mark.
"What's going on?"
"I happened to be passing by, and I saw you fall from a tree, and just now I was scratched by a branch in my arm to catch you."
The masked man said pitifully, and then covered his wound as if he were nothing, clearly hinting at someone.
Zhang Maru followed his words and moved his gaze to his arm, where there was a long scratch, as if shouting something.
She was suddenly a little at a loss, Zhang Maru was fine with everything else, but she was easy to be soft-hearted, and her heart was half of her heart suddenly leaked.
"I know that there is usually hemostatic grass in this kind of place, I'll go find it, don't move."
“......”
Zhang Maru pulled the masked man to the side and sat down, thinking of something, so he looked around for herbs to stop the bleeding.
When she was a child, when her father was still there, she liked to go to the field, and she followed her father to the farmland and learned about some grasses, some of which contained medicinal properties.
"It's strange, the grass grows so lush in this place, there is no reason..."
Zhang Maru searched in the grass for a long time, her hands were scratched and she didn't find it, there were many mosquitoes nearby, and at this time, it seemed that she was deliberately fighting against her, and her whole body was full of bags and bulging, as if she was announcing something.
One or two o'clock in the afternoon is the hottest time of the day, Zhang Maru is sweating profusely, and her temper has been consumed for most of it, after all, it has been so long, and she has not eaten anything at all, and the deafening cooing sound makes her like a deflated ball, so she can only give up temporarily.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to be so big, but there are no herbs like this."
Zhang Maru hurried back from a distance, still holding a few wild fruits in his hands, the masked man's eyebrows were slightly raised, attracted by the shadow, looking at her intently, something seemed to be taking root in his heart.
"How did it take so long? I thought you were running away and leaving me behind, the savior. ”
He got up and looked at the face that was a head shorter than himself, his eyes flashed slightly, and his words were sour, telling the dissatisfaction in his heart.
