I simply nibbled on two pieces of meat patties that had been cooled, drank two sips of water from the water bag, and fed some jerky to the black cat when I spent it.

"Meow ......"

The black cat lay obediently on her lap, its blue cat's eyes shining in the darkness.

Hua Shi lowered his head, carefully took out the fish basket wrapped in the bag, lifted the lid on it, and looked at the two fish curled up inside.

You can vaguely see the sound of water stirring between the swings of the two fish tails......

I added some spring water to the basket before I put the lid back on.

The black cat sniffed and pounced, putting its two front paws around her, licking the palm of her hand one by one.

"Alright, stop licking."

When I fed it some spring water, I whispered a reminder.

"Meow ......"

Xie Mingchi, who was standing not far away, seemed to hear Hua Shi's murmuring and turned his head to look back.

His eyesight is strong, even if the surroundings are dark, he can clearly see Ah Shi with his head down, and his movements are gentle to smooth the black cat's hair.

Sensing Xie Mingchi's gaze, Hua Shi looked up and whispered, "I'll rest first, and you will call me again in the middle of the night." ”

"Hmm."

Hearing Xie Mingchi's response, Hua Shi took out the small futon prepared in advance from the baggage, draped it on his body, hugged the black cat, sat on the stone and curled up, leaned against the tree pole, and closed his eyes.

Xie Mingchi could clearly hear her slow breathing, and he didn't move his eyes until he half sounded......

The night was long, and on the empty boundary beside the road, there were only a few small trees, and a few people under the trees sat together, and from time to time they made small noises.

The bright moon came out of the dark clouds at some point, and the soft light illuminated the dark night......

“… Mother, whose hand are we going to do this time? ”

A muffled voice rang out from a corner.

It's daytime, and a family of three sitting across from the flower time.

In the dark, a woman in her forties, her face was full of wrinkles, her eyebrows were wrinkled, and her eyebrows furrowed even deeper when she heard her son's question.

"Shhhhhhhhh

The rough and hoarse voice, even if it was deliberately suppressed, could hear the unhappiness in her tone.

She originally stared at the little girl sitting opposite her at first, and when she saw that her face was tender, she was easy to deceive and steal.

I thought she was in a group with the fat woman on the right, but I didn't expect it to be a couple with the man on the other side, the little girl's man looked tall and big, not like a bully.

Although they often do some things to steal chickens and dogs, they only pick some little girls who are easy to bully and watch honest women make a move, and those who are followed by men will consider the situation before deciding whether to make a move.

Generally, they don't choose to do it if they look fierce and tall like this......

"Cuixiang... Emerald incense! ”

The woman's arm was pushed twice, and her husband next to her was calling her name.

Li Cuixiang turned her head impatiently and glared, lowered her voice and scolded: "What is it called, what is it called!" ”

Li Zheng booed, raised his chin, and motioned for Li Cuixiang to look over there.

I saw that the little girl who they had been staring at from the beginning had lit a torch at some point, and the firelight illuminated the dark surroundings brightly, and also made everyone's dark vision suddenly become clear.

Li Cuixiang's eyes widened suddenly, her face changed greatly, and she cursed in a low voice, secretly saying that it was not good.

Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the darkness to start, but if I lit a torch over there, the surroundings would be bright, and no matter how dark it was, I would be able to see it clearly......

Li Shenghong obviously thought of this, his face turned a little pale, and he asked in a low voice uneasily: "Mother, what should we do now?" ”

…

Xie Mingchi on the other side didn't know the careful thinking of the family of three over there, he saw that the wind was strong at night, Ah Shi only wore a blanket on his body, and he was so cold that he curled up together, and his body couldn't be warm, so he lit a fire and wanted to keep warm......

The light of the fire that was ignited when the flower shook his eyes, his sleepy eyes opened in a daze, and Xie Mingchi's deliberately softened voice came from his ears,

“… It's still early, go to bed. ”

Hua Shi only remembered the last consciousness, which was to look at the dazzling firelight, listen to Xie Mingchi's voice, he seemed to answer in a low voice, buried his face in the futon again, and fell asleep.

The sky was hazy and brightened, and when she slept with a sore back, she heard a noisy sound behind her, closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes.

...... it's dawn?

Xie Mingchi sat opposite, bent slightly, holding a wooden stick in his hand, carrying the charcoal fire in the fire, and digging out the fragrant sweet potatoes inside.

Hua Shi was dazed for a moment, and rubbed his eyes, "... Why don't you call me? ”

She slept until dawn, and Xie Mingchi didn't call her last night, she sat and slept all night, and seemed to wake up in a daze a few times halfway, and when she came back, she could hear Xie Mingchi's slow voice, what to say, it's still early, tell her to sleep for a while.

Then, she slept until now......
