Chapter 036: No Longer Alone
Mowgli ran back to the pool, broke off a branch, and forked two fish again, but he was worried about how to make a fire.
When Qin Dangdang was together, Qin Dangdang could spit out fire with one mouth, and making a fire was not a problem at all. Not now, if you want to make a fire, you have to figure it out by yourself. Wuji took a closer look, beat a piece of dead wood, and prepared to try drilling wood to make fire. The little girl panted and chased after her, and when she saw Wuji drilling wood, she turned her head and ran away again. Wuji hurriedly put down the wood in his hand and chased after her to grab her.
"Don't run around, in case you get caught in the wild beasts, you'll be in trouble. Just a pink kid like you, it tastes the best. ”
The little girl's eyes widened in fright, and her arms clenched. Mowgli laughed, and his originally depressed mood improved. When the little girl saw this, she knew that he had frightened him, and she was relieved and ran forward again.
"Hey, don't run. "Wuji has a headache, this baby can really run, no wonder it will be in danger. The little girl ran to the two entangled corpses, squatted down, took out a small leather bag from one person's pocket, and shook it proudly at Wuji.
When Wuji saw it, he patted his head in frustration. That's right, these two people have something to make fire, so why do they want to drill wood to make fire? He hurriedly took it, searched it carefully, and took out all the things on the two people's bodies, a total of a set of fire sickles and flints, a short knife, more than ten coins of the Great Qin Empire, and a few nests that had been soaked in blood.
Wuji looked at the two corpses and asked the little girl, "Which one is your family?"
The little girl was stunned and pointed to one of them. Wuji sighed: "Okay, I don't have the tools, I can't dig a pit to bury him, so I have to hide him in a stone cave, which can be regarded as a place to live." Do you think it's okay?"
The little girl blinked her big eyes and nodded vigorously. Mowgli laboriously separated the two and hid the little girl's family in a hole under the boulder, so as not to be touched by the big beast as much as possible. As for the other, he could not do anything about it, and stripped him of his clothes, and let him be eaten by wild beasts.
He has little compassion for such robbers.
With the fire sickle flint, Mowgli quickly lit a fire and began grilling fish. The smell of fish overflowed, and the little girl squatted aside, staring at the fish that was being roasted, and kept licking her lips, looking like she was hungry. Wuji smiled: "Hungry, right?"
The little girl looked at him embarrassedly and nodded.
Mowgli looked at her dirty little face and pointed to the waterhole not far away. "Then go wash your face and wash your hands, and you will be able to eat immediately." ”
The little girl looked at her black hands, and then realized that she was really dirty, and quickly got up and ran away. Her skirt was too long, and she tripped herself and rolled twice like a little dog bear. The little girl blushed, got up, took her skirt, buried her head, and ran away.
After a while, the little girl returned, and not only washed her face and hands, but also the dirty skirt feet. She looked at Wuji, and her white little face flushed crimson, revealing a little shyness, which made Wuji a little distracted in an instant.
He felt as if he had seen her somewhere.
"What's your name?" Mowgli asked as he handed her the grilled fish, "I can't keep calling you little girl, can I?" ”
The little girl took the fish and took a careful bite, but did not answer Mowgli's question.
Wuji thought about it, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He remembered that a few days ago, he had a dream in which the purple moon fell into his arms and turned into a little girl. The appearance of that little girl is somewhat similar to the little girl in front of her.
"Otherwise, I'll call you Purple Moon. ”
The little girl was stunned for a moment, holding the fish, staring at a pair of big eyes, and looking at Wuji intently.
"I said, since you don't tell me your name, I'll call you Ziyue. Mowgli pointed to the sky. "That purple moon in the sky, okay?"
The little girl was stunned for a while, did not speak, lowered her head, and continued to eat fish. Wuji didn't know if she agreed or not, but it was decided. Ziyue Ziyue screamed twice, and the little girl got used to it. Wuji called Ziyue, and she turned her head and looked at him with a cute face, which made Wuji want to laugh.
After eating and drinking, Mowgli started on the road again. When he walked with Qin Dangdang, he already knew some things, and knew that the place they were going to was called Zifu Mountain. He is not sick, but he has nowhere to go, so he has Zifu Mountain as a target. Since Zifu Mountain can cure the old man's illness, maybe it will help him a little.
Although they have been together for most of the day, the little girl still keeps her distance from Wuji and follows behind timidly. Mowgli didn't force it, handed her the short knife, and opened the way in front with a wooden stick himself. The trees were full of vegetation, and there were no ready-made paths, so they walked slowly. They didn't go far until nightfall.
Wuji found a dry place, cleaned up a little dead branches and leaves, lit a fire, and the two ate a little leftover grilled fish, and then prepared to rest. The purple moon rose, casting a halo of lilac light over the trees. With his back against a big tree, Wuji put the wooden stick across his lap, took off the shirt he had stripped from the corpse, and threw it to the little girl of the purple moon.
"Take it, it's cold at night. ”
Ziyue took it and draped it on her body. She hugged her legs, rested her chin on her knees, and looked at Mowgli intently. Mowgli smiled silently and closed his eyes, but his mind was a little messy, and he couldn't calm down.
Where did Qin Dangdang and the old man go? He was strong, and he was a Red Flame Beast known for his speed, so he should have gone far away. This person is good for everything else, but his official face is too annoying. Wuji doesn't know if he is surnamed Ying, but it is certain that he is the powerful of the empire, the so-called vested interests, otherwise he would not defend the empire so much. This made him feel very awkward, Qin dared to have a reason to serve the empire, he didn't. He didn't have any good feelings about that zombie empire, and he didn't want to work hard for such an empire.
It was only a matter of time before they parted ways, and the little girl of the purple moon was just a fuse. They are not people of the same world after all. It's just that he doesn't know why, he just can't let go of it in his heart.
Wuji thought about the bits and pieces since he and Qin Dangdang met, and fell asleep unconsciously. In his dream, he saw the Red Flame Beast again. The Red Flame Beast stood in the distance, looking at him quietly, wanting to do it several times and then stopping. Wuji was about to stand up, when he suddenly found a little girl in his arms, with a round face, a small nose, and long eyelashes fluttering. Suddenly, the little girl's body glowed, turning into a purple moon, illuminating his body transparently.
Wuji was startled, suddenly opened his eyes, and saw a small body curled up in his arms, sleeping soundly.
It turned out that there was really a purple moon in his arms, and he didn't know when she got in.
Wuji smiled silently, and carefully hugged the little girl tighter. Suddenly, he felt that his empty heart was full.
From now on, he is no longer alone.
