Chapter 70: The Beast in the Forest
The leaves were spread on the ground in five thick layers of "mattresses" similar to the size of the human body, and sleeping bags were laid on top of them, which served as the place where the five of them slept at night, and in the center a high circular sitting area was spread, and a fire was lit on each side of the four sides with the dry wood and branches.
After the arrangement, Yang Ling said: "Everyone eat something, eat the last dry food in half, drink some water to pad your stomach, and then go to sleep." Zhang Yutong has worked hard today, Ye Ning and I are in charge of standing guard tonight, you can sleep with confidence. ”
Saying that, Yang Ling looked at Ye Ning, smiled and joked, "You shouldn't mind, Ye Ning." ”
"yes, okay." Ye Ning responded, with a slight joy in his tone.
On the contrary, Zhang Yutong was stunned for a moment, if she wanted to say that it was hard, she only worked hard in the morning, and it was obviously the two of them who were more affected just now. But seeing the familiar appearance of the two, not only her, but everyone also knew in their hearts that there was a little ambiguity between the two, and they all lay down and fell asleep.
The two of them sat in a circular seating area covered with leaves, covered with sleeping bags that had been broken by Ma Jiao. At this time, whether the five people were sleeping or the two of them were sitting, the leaves rustled, and gradually, the five people got used to the sound and were able to fall asleep.
There was a fire around the five of them, and the cold on the ground was gradually offset by the temperature of the flames, and the five of them slept quite comfortably. Ye Ning and Yang Ling sat on the leaves, under the protection of the alien energy, it would not affect their health, and there was not even a trace of physical discomfort, and the cold could not be shared, which was why Yang Ling proposed that the two of them come to stand guard.
But Ye Ning thought crookedly, he was already a little cautious about Yang Ling, plus people asked you to be on duty together in the middle of the night and not to sleep, with Ye Ning's strange thinking, he once thought that his spring was coming, and his heart was full of joy.
Yang Ling's instructions were for the two of them to be back to back, each staring at the movements in front and back. The night was dark and the wind was high, and the lonely men and widows were lonely, Ye Ning was sitting back to back with Yang Ling, for fear of disturbing the five of them to sleep, and he couldn't speak, his heart was itching.
After thinking about it for nearly two hours, Ye Ning finally made up his mind and was ready to be brave, and tentatively moved his ass back, and after a few minutes, he leaned back again, and slowly poured his body some.
Then his shoulders touched Yang Ling's back gently, the two were of similar height, and Ye Ning was one or two centimeters taller than Yang Ling, this scene looked a little warm and harmonious at the moment, and even had a faint spring slanting out.
Seeing that Yang Ling didn't react, Ye Ning was a little bolder, intending to move his butt back cautiously, and leaned towards Yang Ling's side. After a short while, he leaned towards Yang Ling again and increased the contact area.
Half of his back was almost leaning together, Ye Ning was still a little complacent, the spring breeze was proud, and he leaned back again, planning to have a back-to-back hug.
Ye Ning suddenly felt that Yang Ling's hand was on his shoulder, his five fingers were together, and he gently stroked Ye Ning's biceps, Ye Ning did not struggle, and quietly waited for Yang Ling's next response.
Suddenly, Yang Ling's five fingers were together, and his fingertips kissed and pinched a piece of meat on Ye Ning's biceps, and quickly rotated to pinch a piece of Ye Ning's meat. Ye Ning sat up straight in an instant, quickly retracted his shoulder, stretched out his right hand to cover his left shoulder, and looked back at Yang Ling aggrievedly.
Yang Ling leaked a sweet smile, lowered his voice, and said softly: "Yo, I'm dozing off, tsk, you can't do this." ”
Ye Ning was not sleepy, he was excited just now, and in the face of Yang Ling's questioning, he was embarrassed to say his dirty thoughts just now, so he could only turn his head and smile awkwardly at Yang Ling. Yang Ling ignored it and turned his head to continue to sentry.
Ye Ning was a little disappointed, and suddenly he was in a hurry, he took the plan, stood up, pretended that he was sleepy just now, shook his shoulders, twisted his neck, moved a little, turned around, and filled the fire with some firewood.
Then he walked back to the leaves in the middle, plucked up his courage, and sat directly beside Yang Ling, looking at Yang Ling. Seeing Yang Ling turn his head and stare at her with puzzled eyes, he hurriedly whispered:
"Just sit and sentry all night, and don't do anything, it's really easy to get sleepy, aren't you sleepy?"
"I'm not sleepy!" Yang Ling replied in a low voice, and then asked suspiciously, "What, what do you want to do?" ”
"Let's talk for a while, I'm bored and idle." Saying that, Ye Ning put on a submissive look.
"Hehe, what are you talking about, others are still sleeping, what do you want to say and talk about it later." Yang Ling turned her head as she spoke, she was missing her sister just now, and she didn't want to say anything now, she just wanted to continue to be quiet alone.
"Okay." Ye Ning could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, turned around and stood up, moved behind Yang Ling, sat down again, and stared ahead with a dejected expression.
"I thought too much about it, and I thought there would be an unforgettable night." Ye Ning grumbled in his heart.
And just now, Ye Ning was sitting next to Yang Ling, intending to make a big move. The north under Ye Ning's care has fallen under supervision, and there is no way to know what is going on here.
In less than a minute, the chameleon, which was staring closely at Ye Ning and the others from a distance, waited patiently and cautiously with it, and finally seized the opportunity of this moment, and quickly climbed from the trunk to the top of the tree with all four limbs, moving quickly and quietly.
Then, it followed the branches of the tree and quickly ran towards Ye Ning's side, moving quickly, but it did not step on a single leaf in the whole process, and it looked like it was well-trained.
Running to the branch, his limbs exerted his strength, jumped high, his limbs spread out in the air, there was a feeling of embracing the future, and he jumped onto the trunk of another tree, and his four sharp claws were firmly embedded in the trunk, stabilizing his body, even if he made a sound, Ye Ning and Yang Ling, who were talking, could not hear it.
The chameleon did the same and jumped to the third and fourth trees. At this time, Ye Ning had already sat back, and the whole process of the chameleon was quiet, completely covered by the sound of Ye Ning walking and the rustling sound when he sat on the leaves.
The bonfire in the north direction is still vigorous, Ma Jiao, who stayed up in the middle of the night yesterday, has already begun his heroic dream in his sleep, the firelight is warm and shining around, the tree next to Ma Jiao, facing Ye Ning's side, is red and transparent under the light of the fire.
The chameleon was behind the tree next to Ma Jiao, just stuck in a blind spot. It acted extremely cautiously, for fear that when Ye Ning Tianchai was walking around just now, it would find him with the change in the blind spot's vision, and waited until this opportune time before starting to act.
It was late at night, and the evening breeze in the middle of the night was light and fast, quickly caressing the whole forest, and the leaves laughed "rustling" one after another under the touch of the breeze.
Taking advantage of the sound of leaves, the chameleon stretched out its claws and quickly climbed upward. The wind stopped, and the sound stopped. The chameleon's movements were instantly frozen there, motionless, waiting for the next wind to blow the leaves.
Yang Ling missed her sister, and Ye Ning thought about how to have some physical contact with Yang Ling again, and the two were absent-minded. The chameleon's voice was so small that the two of them didn't notice any movement at all, and the chameleon could even rush up in one go, without being detected.
But the chameleon was so cautious that it was not until the next evening breeze that it took a light step and quickly climbed to the top of the canopy, and by the time the wind had stopped, he had leapt to the top of the tree, a branch in the middle of the leaf.
Ye Ning and Yang Ling did not notice the whereabouts of this little guy. Even if the two of them raised their heads at this moment, the dense leaves on the canopy of the tree obscured the little chameleon's figure. Yang Ling was afraid of the rain at night, and when he was looking for branches and leaves, he searched for them beside the trees in the distance, and did not harm the branches and leaves here.
The chameleon slowly stretched out its tongue, and there was a drop of viscous purple liquid on its long tongue, and the tip of the tongue pierced the veins of the leaves, and this purple liquid poured the purple venom into the leaves with its tongue, squeezing out and assimilating the leaf juice in the leaves.
The chameleon nimbly fiddled with his little paws, sliding a trail at the leaf petiole that would surely fall the next time the wind blew, but it wasn't certain that it would be able to poison people accurately, he had to keep moving and get more leaves.
During the day yesterday, he was so open-minded, fiddling with poisonous leaves where Ye Ning and the others had to pass, and quietly left when night came, lying on the trunk of a tree in the distance waiting for the prey to take the bait, it had enough intelligence to determine that Ye Ning and the others would definitely come here on the first day.
Unfortunately, its plot failed. It can only silently follow behind them, and launch another surprise attack at night, this is its last chance, tomorrow Ye Ning and the seven of them will leave the woods, and then he will have no chance.
The chameleon turned its head slightly, and the tip of its tongue reached another leaf, and then the evening breeze blew, and the leaf that had been fiddled with by the chameleon fell with the wind, but it did not fall beside anyone, but landed farther away.
The chameleon is not discouraged, only a sufficient number can make his plan successful, it still has a chance to arrange it slowly one night, in line with the principle of one not losing, two blood earnings, putting down one person is considered a success.
The wind stopped, but suddenly changed!
Bursts of birdsong, resounding among the trees, crisp and cheerful, accompanied by the rustling of leaves, as if the birds were stimulated, quickly jumped out of the leaves.
But the birds of Dragon City have long been slaughtered, and this pleasant sound has disappeared for decades, and Ye Ning and Yang Ling have only heard it in the middle school beast call listening class, which is the voice of swallows.
Ye Ning and Yang Ling left and stood up, even the chameleon stopped the movement of his tongue, his eyes rolled around, looking around for the things that were moving.
Obviously, they all know that this birdsong does not belong here.
