Chapter 29: Three for Love
Bai Xu leaned on a tree and walked down, her feet were covered with thick mud, a little slippery, and she frowned irritably.
She never wanted to go into the mountains again.
The rescue team walked neither fast nor slow in order to make a donkey, and Bai Xu looked at their pace, and it was estimated that they would not be able to go down the mountain after dark.
She let out a long breath and tried to hold back.
Huo Yi noticed her strangeness, and his thick black sword eyebrows were lightly constricted.
"What's wrong?" He came to Bai Xu and looked at her twice, afraid that she would have something uncomfortable.
Bai Xu sighed in his heart, but still told him the reason, "It's too slow." ”
She wanted to go back and lie down in her bed now.
Huo Yi looked at the rescue team in front of him, he actually felt the same way, but with a few physically weak travelers, he would definitely not be able to go fast.
He thought about it, and after saying a word to the last person of the rescue team, the two of them changed to the front, and disappeared as soon as they slipped away.
"Hey, is that too slow?"
"That's not it, but the two of them are physically strong enough, and it's as easy as going up and down the mountain to eat and drink."
"I'm sorry for the trouble."
"Don't say I'm sorry now, let's talk about it when we go down the mountain."
"You young people, if you are not prepared in the future, don't go up the mountain."
The babbling words came from behind him, and Bai Xu didn't take it seriously, just paid attention to the pace under his feet, and walked down vigorously.
When it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Xu and Huo Yi could already see a corner of the edge of the village.
The two sat by the creek to rest, and the rescue team behind them didn't know how far they had been thrown away.
Picking up the stream and wiping his face, the heat on his body dissipated a little.
The weather in the past few days is really strange, yesterday's heavy rain and today's big sun, Bai Xu looked at the bright sun above her head, her body was already soaked with sweat, she smelled her clothes, and felt that she was going to stink.
"It's boring! How can it taste like a human, it's better to take a bite and play with it." Bai Xun's sweaty hand was stunned for a moment, and when he heard the clear voice in his ear, his eyes flashed with doubt.
The voice......
She searched around, her eyes locked on a rock, and a long, black-brown snake poked its head out of the crack in the stone, spitting out a snake hyacinth, and its eyes looked around.
The snake was only about a meter away from Huo Yi's body, diagonally behind his back.
Huo Yi squatted by the stream to wash his face, and before he noticed the abnormality, Bai Yi swallowed his saliva and moved it carefully.
"There are two people, who will bite?" The black snake didn't look big, but its body was very long, and it raised its head to look at it.
The black silk spit out the letter, Huo Yi's ears moved, and his body tensed up a little.
Hearing the words of the black snake, Bai Xu's eyes widened, and his heart trembled twice.
"He smells so weird, bite him."
With that, the black snake got ready, locked onto the target, and slammed it out.
Seeing this, Bai Xu raised a kick and kicked the black snake flying in mid-air, and the precise footwork made the black snake let out a miserable scream.
"Ah! Grandma, I'm coming!"
The black snake flew into the air and smashed into the water, its head was stunned, and it fell motionless into the water.
"Xiaobai!" Huo Yi looked at the black snake that flew out, and quickly stood up and looked behind him.
Behind him, Bai Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and his legs were shaking.
"I... I just saw this snake behind you. ”
She was afraid that Huo Yi would alarm the snake, so she didn't call him.
But it's okay now.
Huo Yi looked at the snake in the water, then looked at the little woman with a pale face in front of him, and nodded to her, "Very good." ”
He's still looking for the snake's location, so he looks like he'll have to be careful next time.
Bai Xu blinked, and was just about to sit down to rest, but the accident always came unexpectedly.
"Husband, I'll avenge you!"
Before she could sit down, another small black snake came out of the crack in the stone, and with a sharp scream, Bai Xun's legs ached, and his face changed suddenly.
"Shhh She snorted, her teeth clenched.
Huo Yi looked down and saw that a black snake was about to slip away from the crack in the stone, he quickly squatted down, grabbed the snake's tail, and pulled the snake out.
He grabbed the head of the snake seven inches, and his heart was beating wildly, but after confirming that it was just a non-venomous snake, his tense nerves relaxed a lot.
Throwing the snake aside, he helped Bai Xu to sit down carefully, "Xiaobai, don't be afraid, it's a non-venomous snake." ”
Bai Fu held his forehead, but he felt some pain in his legs, but it was not very painful.
Good guy, it's still a snake infested by a couple, it deserves to be Daqi Mountain, and there are snakes and insects everywhere.
"Does it hurt? I'll help you look at the wound. ”
Huo Yi squatted in front of her, seeing that there was sweat oozing from the corners of her forehead, he reached out to take off her shoes and pulled up her trouser legs, wanting to check the wound.
Bai Su shook his head, "It's okay." ”
Pulling up the trouser leg, in the middle of the white and tender calf, an obvious tooth mark emerged, and the area around the bite wound was slightly red.
Huo Yi looked around, it was not good to rinse with stream water, but they had drunk all the water.
Although a non-venomous snake bite is not a big deal, it is difficult to guarantee that the wound will not be swollen and painful.
"Sit down, I'll find out if there are any herbs nearby."
Generally, where there are snakes, there is detoxification grass, Huo Yi put her legs on the stone, got up and went to the grass cage behind to rummage around.
While he was looking for herbs, Bai Xu took some of the spiritual spring water from the space and came out to rinse the wound, and then sat quietly on the stone.
Huo Yi soon found two herbs, one anti-inflammatory and analgesic and the other to remove snake venom, he washed the herbs in the stream water, rubbed them in his hands, and applied them to the white silk wound.
"Hmm~" Bai Xu bit his lip and snorted, covering his face to force himself not to scream.
It hurts!
It's okay not to touch it, but it hurts when you touch it.
"Bear with me, and you'll be fine in no time." Huo Yi couldn't bear it when he saw her painful appearance, and his hand holding his calf tightened.
Looking at the color of her calves that were distinct from the skin on her hands, Huo Yi thought to herself, she was really not suitable to stay in the village.
Perennial wind and sun exposure will make her skin become wrinkled, and she should be a rose growing in a greenhouse, always carefully cared for.
Bai Xu sat on the stone, brushed her hair, and tied it at the back of her head, and the hot temperature on her calf made her heart itch.
Looking at the man with a fluttering expression and not knowing what he was thinking, she calmly looked at his appearance.
She had always cobbled him together before, and she hadn't really observed him very carefully, after all, the two of them didn't have much contact.
When I took a look today, I found that he was actually really good-looking, with starry eyebrows and sword eyes, deep eye sockets, a straight nose bridge, and bright facial features, especially the wide and smooth jaw line, when he didn't speak, it could show his manhood even more.
It's just that with his excessively sharp inch head, he looks a little more fierce, and people can retreat from the road.
"That's it!" Huo Yi didn't know where to tear a strip of cloth to wrap the wound and herbs together, and slowly lowered her trouser leg and put shoes on her.
Bai Xu retracted his gaze, felt the wound, and found that it was not very painful.
"Thank you, Brother Huo."
Huo Yi shook his head, saying thank you or not, if she hadn't found the snake first, he would have been bitten, and he should thank her.
and bore the plague for him.
"Can you still go?"
Bai Xu stood up, put the bag on his back, took a few steps forward, and nodded slightly.
That's it, after walking for a while, the speed was obviously slowed down, the white forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and the little face was also pale.
Huo Yi stopped, his eyes anxious and distressed, "Don't go, I'll carry you." ”
He wanted to carry her just now, and he was afraid that she would think he was making a big fuss, so he knew that he had carried her on his back just now.
"No, no, I can." Bai Xu hurriedly waved his hand, smiled reluctantly, and stopped to exhale.
The mountain wind was manic and stuffy, and she wiped the sweat from her face, not wanting to trouble him all the time.
"Come on, don't delay your descent from the mountain."
Huo Yi hung the bag on his chest and squatted down in front of her, his voice clear and crisp.
Bai Xu looked at his strong and broad back, his face was hot, but he really didn't want him to carry him down the mountain.
"I'm too heavy. Or you go down the mountain first, and I'll walk slowly. ”
From here to the bottom of the mountain, there is still more than an hour, her physique, don't crush him.
Huo Yi glanced back at her, his face was calm, and he spoke to her firmly.
"Do you think I can rest assured that you will go down the mountain alone? I know you don't want to trouble me, otherwise you can go back and invite me to a meal to thank you and thank you. ”
"Okay." Having said that, if she refuses again, it will be a bit hypocritical.
Bai Su squatted down and slowly lay on his back, when Huo Yi got up, his center of gravity was slightly unstable, and Bai Xu was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged his neck.
Huo Yi hugged her thighs and walked forward steadily, a chuckle crossed his eyes.
The mountain road is rugged, and even if Huo Yi wants not to be bumpy, it is a little difficult.
A strand of hair fell down on his neck, a little bead of sweat soaked out of the tip of Huo Yi's nose, and he looked forward with the itching feeling.
Feeling that the person behind her had slipped a lot, Huo Yi hugged her up a little more.
"Brother Huo, why don't you let me down." Bai Xu was drowsy and drowsy, and her eyelids became heavy, but seeing that Huo Yi was going to cross the mountains and mountains again, and she had to carry her on her back, I really couldn't bear it.
Huo Yi shook his head, and said lightly, "I can still carry one of you." ”
Bai Xu pursed the corners of his mouth, and his voice was soft, "But you're too tired." ”
"Not tired. You're light. "Huo Yi is really not tired, his physical strength has always been excellent, and now most of them are going down the mountain, so it's no problem to carry her.
"Am I light? Haven't you carried someone else's back? ”
Bai Xu pouted, she had more than 100 pounds, and there was meat wherever there should be meat on her body, so how light could it be.
Huo Yi smiled, his speed under his feet was not half a minute slower than before, and there was a layer of joy between his eyebrows.
"The girl has only carried you alone, and you are really light in comparison."
Bai Xu pinched his face and said depressedly, "I feel like I've gained a few pounds when I go home." ”
Her mother's craftsmanship is really good, and she can eat two large bowls of rice every day.
"It doesn't matter how heavy it is, it's just good to be healthy." Huo Yi didn't feel that she was fat, and she still looked slender and slender.
Bai Xu agreed with this sentence and nodded slightly.
She pinned the fallen broken hair behind her ear, and continued to lie on Huo Yi's shoulder, looking drowsy, and finally didn't hold it up, and fell asleep in a daze.
A shallow warm breath sprayed on Huo Yi's neck, and he looked sideways and caught a glimpse of her tranquil sleeping face, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked.
As the road became wider and wider, and the village was close in front of him, Huo Yi felt the sleeping figure behind him move, and he was just about to open his mouth to wake her up, when he noticed that Bai Xu's arm was tightening around his neck, muttering two words, and then rubbing his lips close to his neck.
…… An electric current ran down his fingernails to his hair, Huo Yi's face was flushed, if he hadn't been hugging her, he probably wouldn't have known where to put his hand.
Taking a deep breath, Huo Yi forcibly endured and endured.
It's just that after enduring it so many times, he is going crazy if he holds a breath of depression in his chest and can't go up or down.
Huo Yi thought silently in his heart for a long time, he will never be a third for love, he must stand by her side openly.
She hasn't broken up yet, and he can't meddle in other people's feelings.
However, just because you haven't broken up now doesn't mean you won't break up later.
He had to find the group of "fox friends" to give him ideas.
When she arrived at Nanshan, there was no one around, Huo Yi woke up Bai Su and put her down.
"Can you go back on your own? I went to the village chief and told him. ”
Looking at Bai Su's well-behaved face, his heart was soft, but it was a pity that he couldn't carry her to the door.
"Yes." After Bai Su stood up, he rubbed his cheek and nodded at him.
Huo Yi held back the hand that wanted to touch her head and spoke softly.
"Okay, then you can go back quickly, I have something to contact Feixin."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Huo." Bai Xu waved at him and walked home in small steps.
When he returned home, Bai Xu pushed the door in, and had an urge to drink water, so he raised his voice and shouted, "Dad, Mom." ”
No one responded to her, Bai Xu walked into the kitchen and sat down, and after making sure that there was no one, she quickly poured herself a glass of spiritual spring water and poured it into her mouth.
She was so thirsty that she took a sip of water this morning and still hasn't drunk water.
After drinking two glasses of water in a row, Bai Xu put down the cup and burped, finally feeling more comfortable.
"Xiaobai!" Liu Xiao's voice appeared at the door.
Bai Xu stood up and walked to the yard, "Mom." Where have you been? ”
Liu Xiao carried a basket with vegetables such as eggplant peppers, showed her a little, and said with a smile.
"I went to Aunt Li's house next door to pick some vegetables."
She said that she seemed to be looking at her daughter's figure, and hurried back to take a look.
She put the basket down, looked at her dirty daughter, and shook her head helplessly, "How are the people on the mountain?" ”
"It's okay, I've been saved." Bai Xu fanned the wind, looked down at her eyes, and sighed twice.
"Mom, I'll take a shower and wash my hair, and I'll come down later."
It's so dirty, she can't stand it......
Liu Xiao nodded, watched her rush upstairs, and shouted after her.
"Okay, bring the clothes down and mom will wash them for you."
Bai Xu took the clean clothes, went into the bathroom as fast as he could, and turned on the shower.
