9 CHAPTER IX

Human beings are as small as a grain of sand in the face of nature, and they can also become barbaric and even murderous in the face of hunger.

Liang Ying boldly attacked the snake under the whip of hunger, and it was cold to the touch, although it made her extremely uncomfortable, but it was still ruthless.

She was so hungry.

If she didn't make it out of the woods alive, all her previous efforts would be in vain.

Her desire to survive prompted her to give up the struggle and decisively pick up dead branches from the neighborhood, first making a barrier to prevent a fire, and then starting a fire.

She had no experience in skinning snakes, and there was no water around, so she had to clumsily cut off the snake's head with a knife. I didn't care about the blood on my hands, so I directly opened its intestines, removed the internal organs in the rudiest way, and then peeled off the snake's skin little by little.

The blood-stained snake flesh was pink and white, with a strong fishiness, but she did not dislike it at all, and cut it off and roasted it on the fire.

After a while, the smell of meat was permeated, and Liang Ying's whole person was in spirit, only to feel that her mouth and tongue were full of relish, and the movements in her hands were faster.

At first, she didn't know how to roast it, so she roasted the snake meat to a charred past, and she was reluctant to throw it away, so she simply ate it.

Later, the snake meat was put higher so as not to be scorched by the tongue of fire.

The snake meat is actually not delicious, because it has no taste and the snake skin is not easy to peel.

Liang Ying's movements are clumsy, and she is a lively savage image.

The former beauty has been replaced by Luo Tuo, and there are a lot of mosquito bags on his body, and there are also many skin and flesh scrapes, and his body is dirty and dirty, and he is so embarrassed that he can't see it.

Zhao Pheasant on the other side looked for her traces with the help of the hunting dog, and the dog's nose was very clear, and he smelled the smell of roast meat from afar.

The hound wagged its tail and sniffed all the way towards Liang Ying.

After walking the tea cup, Zhao Pheasant also smelled the fireworks.

When a man and a dog found her traces, Liang Ying was eating snake meat at that time.

Her actions are nothing like what she once was, only the instinct brought by hunger.

Zhao Pheasant saw the snakeskin and internal organs nearby through the jungle, his eyes fell on her gnawing behavior, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the expression on his face was a little strange.

The hound barked at Liang Ying a few times, which frightened her.

Alarmed, she immediately picked up the knife she had just peeled as a precaution.

After a while, Zhao Pheasant walked through the big tree, he was tall, with a delicate crossbow machine tied to his arm, his whole body was full of the savage danger of the predator, and his whole body was full of oppressive force.

The hound grinned at Liang Ying, his eyes fierce, as if he wanted to pounce on her and bite her.

The moment she saw Zhao Pheasant, Liang Ying's face changed suddenly, and her eyes could not hide her horror.

She held the knife to her chest tightly, and couldn't help but take two steps back, the blood on her face fading.

Zhao Pheasant glanced indifferently at the mess on the ground, his eyes swept over the bloody snake skin and internal organs, and finally fell on the finely broken snake bones beside the fire, and his heart was quite moved.

He was amazed not that she was now described as unbearable, but that she had the courage to kill snakes and eat them.

You must know that most people are afraid of snakes, let alone weak women, he really can't imagine the situation when the delicate girl in front of him disembowels a snake and breaks its belly and skins.

That contrast was so impactful that Zhao Pheasant couldn't help but look at her carefully.

At that time, Liang Ying panicked in her heart, there were still traces of blood on her hands, and she only held the knife tightly, tense her nerves, like a vigilant wild cat, as if she would make a desperate fight at any time.

The two were in a stalemate for a long time before Zhao Pheasant squinted his eyes and opened Chrysostom and said, "Go back with me." ”

These words made Liang Ying despair.

She only felt that this man was like a demon crawling out of hell, which made her fear and disgust.

The hanging corpse came into her mind coldly, and she stole a glance at the crossbow on his arm, not daring to annoy him, knowing that she was no match for him, and playing tricks.

The knife in her hand was thrown away by her, and she changed the ferocity when she peeled the snake skin, knelt down with weak legs, revealing the softness of a woman, and said with red eyes: "The big shopkeeper is kind and kind, and never bullies women, can you spare Ah Ying's life?" ”

After that, kowtow to him and said: "Wang Ying wants to live, beg the big shopkeeper to spare his life......"

Zhao Pheasant stared at her for a long time before saying, "My aunt wants to find you, go back with me, and you will have a chance to live." ”

Liang Ying shook his head again and again, obviously eager to jump up and slap him to death with a brick, but he squeezed out two hypocritical tears, and said in despair: "Wang Ying thanked the old lady for taking care of her, but the way is different, not to conspire with each other, Ah Ying doesn't want to be a boss, and please ask the big shopkeeper to do it." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Pheasant was very unhappy in his heart, and sneered: "Do you think I want to please you? ”

Liang Ying was stunned and hurriedly said: "That is the case, can the big shopkeeper let Ah Ying live?" ”

Zhao Pheasant clasped his hands on his chest and squinted at her, revealing a strange compassion, his thin lips opened lightly, and he said in a tone full of contempt: "Innocent, there are jungles within a radius of hundreds of miles, even if you walk for a year, you will not have to leave this forest." ”

Liang Ying didn't like to hear this, and retorted: "As long as the big shopkeeper raises his noble hand, Ah Ying is conceited of life and death, and he will never complain." ”

Zhao Pheasant snorted coldly and said condescendingly: "My aunt wants to see people in life, and I want to see corpses when I die." And he said, "You should know a little bit about her character." ”

Seeing that the other party did not give a way out, Liang Ying couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

She hurriedly picked up the knife that she had just thrown away, put it on her neck, and threatened: "If the big shopkeeper is strong, Wang Ying will not obey!" ”

Zhao Pheasant stared at her for a while, and then didn't believe that she could do it, "If you want to die, hurry up, cut the main artery, and it will be done in the blink of an eye." ”

Liang Ying: "......"

The two stared at each other at a stalemate.

Zhao Pheasant has never dealt with other women except for his own wife, so he naturally doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, he is a typical straight man of steel, who neither knows how to flirt nor has amorous.

belongs to the kind of man who is destined to be lonely for the rest of his life.

In Mrs. Zhao's words, Bai Sheng had a bewildering face, which was useless.

He was sure that this delicate girl did not have the courage to kill herself, after all, it was not easy to escape.

Who would have thought that Liang Ying was much more violent than he imagined, so he went out and cut his neck.

Zhao Pheasant was really taken aback, but fortunately he was quick and hit her wrist with a small stone, and the force was extremely heavy.

Her wrist was numb and painful, Liang Ying couldn't hold the knife, and instantly rolled to the ground.

Zhao Pheasant quickly rushed up and kicked it away, and said in annoyance: "Are you really cut?!" ”

He never expected her to be so fierce, and she was indeed bluffed. Although he is a bandit, he is a disciplined bandit who never bullies women.

In addition, what he has found now is a living person, and since it has fallen into his hands, there is naturally no reason to die.

Liang Ying covered her numb wrist and did not answer.

Zhao Pheasant was afraid that she would have the idea of seeking death again, so she didn't dare to use force, so she only pointed at her, "What a strong seed, I want to see how you can get out of this jungle." ”

Hearing this, Liang Ying was overjoyed in his heart, and when he was willing to let people go, he didn't care about the pain in his wrists, and hurriedly picked up the knives and baggage and took them away.

Zhao Pheasant watched her go coldly.

When she was completely gone, he yelled at the hound beside him, who was so clever that he chased after him when he was ordered.

Zhao Pheasant extinguished the fire to prevent the fire.

I have just learned the temperament of that girl, and she is a master who does not eat oil and salt.

He thought that it would be enough to knock her unconscious and take her away, but it was always inconvenient to carry a woman, and she could threaten to kill herself at any time, so it was really unnecessary in case something went wrong in the middle.

Since she is determined to get out of the forest, let her out, he wants to see how much ability she has to turn over the barbarian mountain.

It only took a moment for Liang Ying to see Zhao Pheasant's hound farts following her. She paused, picking up a rock and making a threatening appearance.

The hound stopped, stared at her, and did not come forward.

Liang Ying couldn't help but be a little depressed, because she soon saw Zhao Pheasant's figure.

A man and a dog followed behind him like a ghost, some distance away from her, and followed so unhurriedly.

At first, she ignored it, but then she always felt awkward and said unhappily: "The big shopkeeper said that he would let me go." ”

Zhao Pheasant clasped his hands to his chest, tilted his head and said: "Manluan Mountain is located at the junction of Cangzhou and Suchang, and there are rolling mountains and jungles within a radius of hundreds of miles.

"Little lady Wang wants to go out, I won't stop me, but I have to explain to my mother, if you can get out alive, it will be good, if not, I have to pick up the body and hand it back."

Liang Ying: "......"

Zhao Pheasant suddenly stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, reminding her: "It's not early, wild animals will come out to forage for food at night, you have to quickly find a place to stay overnight." ”

Liang Ying looked at him unpleasantly, and said unhappily: "Don't bother the shopkeeper!" ”

Zhao Pheasant pouted arrogantly.

So the two of them went on a hike in the woods, one after the other.

Liang Ying moved forward with her head stuffed, always feeling that the person behind her was like a vulture, as if waiting to collect her corpse at any time.

When she walked to a puddle, the unhappiness in her heart was suddenly forgotten, and she killed the snake and got dirty, so she hurriedly put down her burden and went to clean it.

There was a lot of rain in the puddle, she smelled her clothes and wanted to change them, but because of the presence of a man, she turned her head unceremoniously and said, "Please avoid the big shopkeeper." ”

Zhao Pheasant is also a gentleman, knowing what she wants to do, she said as she left: "Grass ash can remove oil stains." ”

Liang Ying was stunned.

When he was gone, she scooped up a lot of dead leaves on the spot, piled them up and burned them together, and squatted down in front of the puddle to wipe, wiped her body, cleaned her whole body, and changed into clothes.

Seeing that it was still early, he took out the ashes of the dead leaves and mixed them with water to wash his hair.

The dead leaf ash is alkaline and can really cleanse the scalp well.

She feels much more comfortable when her body is clean, and as long as the conditions allow, she still has the pursuit of hygiene.

After roughly washing the dirty laundry with dead leaf ash, Liang Ying took care of the fire and went to find a big tree suitable for the night.

A man and a dog followed her gently, and when he saw her pondering against a tree trunk, Zhao Pheasant already had a guess.

Sure enough, the guy actually climbed up clumsily.

Zhao Pheasant silently looked up at the woman on the tree, how did she spend the night these days?

He's not as unsophisticated as she is.

Go and cut down some thorny bushes nearby, make a protective fence, and then pick up dead branches to make a fire. Zhao Pheasant took out the dried meat and grilled it, the fragrance permeated the air, and Liang Ying on the tree couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

It would be cold at night, and the guy even warmed up with two sips of wine.

The hound wandered around the neighborhood for a while, and Liang Ying condescendingly spied on the man at the foot of the tree.

Zhao Pheasant seemed to notice her gaze, shook the jerky in his hand, and asked, "Little Lady Wang wants to eat it?" ”

Liang Ying proudly withdrew her gaze and did not respond.

Zhao Pheasant snorted, "I'll see how long you can last." ”

A man and a woman held back their strength and ignored each other.
