Chapter 5 The Raging River

"Brother, I can't walk......" Xiao Rui sat on the ground behind Xiao Chen, her face was full of apologies, her eyes were pitiful, she didn't want to be a burden, she wanted to continue to move forward, but her body didn't allow her to continue to move forward.

"It's okay, we'll rest here tonight. ”

Xiao Chen touched Xiao Rui's head dotingly, the jungle was already late at night, although Xiao Chen still had the remaining physical strength, but at the moment it was not much better than Xiao Rui, the jungle couldn't see his five fingers in the middle of the night, the road was already difficult to walk, and the spirit was highly tense, so that he was very tired both physically and mentally, and after simply resting, it was not too late to hurry at dawn.

Xiao Chen swept the dead leaves of the tree on the side, leaned on it with the help of the trunk and sat down, letting Xiao Rui lean on his right arm and caress his head with his right hand. Xiao Rui felt extremely relieved at the moment, and soon she fell asleep from exhaustion, and the deer also lay in Xiao Rui's arms, just like that, one person and one deer fell asleep.

Xiao Chen endured his exhaustion and still didn't fall asleep, no matter how tired he was, he didn't dare to relax at all, someone had to keep vigil tonight, he knew very well that if he even fell asleep, then he might not even know how he died.

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Rui who was falling asleep, looking at Xiao Rui's serene face, he couldn't help but think of what his mother said to him before she was taken away, "No matter what happens, you must protect your sister!"

"Hey, how easy is it to talk about......" Xiao Chen sighed, not blaming his mother for taking such a heavy responsibility on himself, even if he didn't have his mother, he would definitely protect Xiao Rui, he was just ridiculing himself for not having any ability at all, if he encountered any danger, he would only be slaughtered.

In the early morning of the second day, the sun slowly rose and illuminated the earth through the jungle, and the light shone on Xiao Chen's face, and he couldn't help but close his eyes tightly and then opened them.

"Damn, I'm asleep!" Xiao Chen hurriedly looked at Xiao Rui beside him, Xiao Rui was still asleep, and the deer was still in her arms, and she was relieved to see that everything was fine.

Just an hour ago, Xiao Chen couldn't hold back his sleepiness and fell asleep unconsciously, but fortunately, no disaster happened in this hour, and he was glad that his luck was still good.

"It seems that we really have to train ourselves more, and this time we have good luck to save us from falling into trouble, but we can't be so lucky every time, and we can't do it again next time. Xiao Xuan's brows furrowed, looking at his hands, clenching his fists.

Xiao Chen took advantage of Xiao Rui's wake-up yet, gently lifted her head from her shoulders and put it on the side of the tree, he wanted to take advantage of Xiao Rui's wake-up yet, go nearby to see if he could find some food to eat, they didn't eat along the way, the two of them didn't eat and had to rush like this again, but I was afraid that the road behind would be more and more difficult to walk.

"The creek is the easiest place to find food, and it won't be too far away from Xiao Rui, so if there is any emergency, you can go back in time. Although Xiao Chen's vision at night was very limited, he could vaguely hear a small stream flowing nearby, and he planned to go there to wash his body and see if he could try his luck and catch some fish and shrimp and other food.

"This jungle is really weird. Before Xiao Chen had taken a few steps, the sky was covered with dark clouds and began to drizzle.

When Xiao Chen walked to the stream, the sky was already raining heavily, and the originally calm stream turned into a big river with rough waves, which suddenly made him feel as if the heavens were intent on going against him, but fortunately, the sand on his body washed away the heavy rain.

Although the raging river no longer makes food easy to find, Xiao Chen can still see some fish being smashed on the stones by the river and leaping up, and he thinks that if he gets closer, he may be able to catch the jumping fish with his bare hands, even one, at least not to make Xiao Rui hungry.

Xiao Chen picked up his trouser leg and walked slowly and steadily towards the center of the river step by step, the stones under the river were covered with moss, extremely slippery, and if he was not careful, he would fall and be washed away by the river.

Xiao Chen's height was limited, so he didn't dare to go too deep, and could only catch fish by the nearest big rock, but what he didn't know was that when he was over-concentrating on catching fish, a water snake in the water behind him was approaching him.

Just when Xiao Chen caught it several times but didn't catch it, and finally caught the fish, the water snake also jumped, and was about to bite the back of his neck.

It turned out that not long after Xiao Chen left, Xiaolu also woke up, looked at Xiao Chen Xiaolu's puzzled little head and made a slight "hmm" sound, then stood up and followed Xiao Chen, and then saw that Xiao Chen was in trouble, so he endured the leg pain and rushed up.

"Ahh

Xiao Chen, who fell into the water, was so slapped by the water that he couldn't open his eyes, choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and barely grabbed the gap in the big stone with his fingers before he was washed away.

Xiao Rui, who was originally asleep, seemed to vaguely hear Xiao Chen's shouts, woke up from the dream, and found that Xiao Chen and Xiaolu were no longer beside him, and began to panic.

"Brother, Xiaolu, where are you!" Xiao Rui's eyes darkened in a panic, and she could only open her hands and shout everywhere, looking for Xiao Chen with her face full of worry.

The water is getting faster and faster, and the gaps in the original stone are already loose, but now there are signs that they are about to break.

Another wave hit Xiao Chen's face, only to hear the sound of the crack finally cracking, when it was in danger, the deer grabbed Xiao Chen's sleeve with his mouth, and the broken stone rushed to the waterfall behind with the water.

"Brother!" Xiao Rui also came to the river, and when she saw Xiao Chen who was in danger, her tears fell in her eyes, and she desperately wanted to rush towards Xiao Chen.

"Go back!" Seeing this, Xiao Chen directly yelled at Xiao Rui loudly, it was the first time in his life that he yelled at Xiao Rui like this, but he couldn't care so much, reason told him that if Xiao Rui came over, he would definitely be unable to escape the fate of being washed away.

Xiao Rui was so frightened by Xiao Chen's roar that she stopped directly, but she was so anxious in her heart that she couldn't do anything about it.

Even though there was a fawn holding Xiao Chen's sleeve, but after all, the fawn did not have so much strength, and was dragged into the water step by step, Xiao Chen saw that the fawn was so desperate to say that he could save it, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of it.

"That's it...... If you continue like this, you will also be dragged away together, I can't hurt you and die like me, if you are really spiritual, then help me take care of Rui'er!" With that, Xiao Chen tore off one end of the cuff with his other hand, and ran to the bottom of the cliff and waterfall with the rapids.

"Don't!" Xiao Rui saw that Xiao Chen was about to fall off the cliff, and rushed towards Xiao Chen again, but the deer quickly reacted, jumped in front of her from the stone, and used all her strength to block Xiao Rui, preventing her from taking another step forward, Xiao Rui could only reach out and cry and watch Xiao Chen fall to the bottom of the cliff step by step.
