Chapter Thirty-Seven: Ghost Fire Pursues the Way
Who told her that the ghost fire was burned by the chemical "phosphorus"?
When the ghost fire was near, she saw that there was another woman's figure, vague, and deformed by the wind when it blew. And the so-called ghost fire was the lantern she was carrying.
She was scared to death by the upside-down "female ghost" in modern times, oh ~ no, I don't know if she's dead or not, but the soul has come here. She didn't want the same thing to happen again.
"Xiao Maruko, you pit, you stop me, how can you run faster than me?"
Two-legged, where to run over four-legged, Maruko is petite and moves freely in the weeds. While Qing Dai is running, she has to remove the weeds and pay attention to her feet.
The ghost fire behind him was also following unhurriedly, always keeping that distance, just not approaching.
Originally, it would take an hour to reach the top of the mountain, but Qing Dai ran to it in half an hour. Now that her lungs are about to explode, she can't wait to tear her chest open and breathe enough at once.
Looking back, the ghostly fire was gone.
Qing Dai went directly to the ground, temporarily safe, touched the hand, empty, Xiao Maruko was gone.
"Forget it, don't be a loyal pet, always betray your teammates at critical moments"
Qing Dai was a little disappointed in Xiao Maruko, and in the secret passage, it left itself and ran away, and now it is rushing forward regardless of itself. Now I can't find it directly, or her Xiaobai is true love for her!
Thinking of Xiaobai, I don't know what her situation is now, it's hard to say whether she is alive or dead!
Hungry and cold, now Qing Dai urgently needs food to replenish her strength, but after looking around, let's find a place to sleep and dream!
There are no big trees or hidden things around, but there are some large rocks dozens of meters away that can barely survive the night.
Qing Dai dragged her tired body over, and just after finding the best sleeping position, she was woken up by Xiao Maruko.
"You traitor, you go, don't follow me", Qing Dai turned over, not wanting to bother with it.
Xiao Maruko grabbed Qing Dai's clothes, 'chirping' non-stop, Qing Dai is now in an irritable mood, and her hot temper instantly came up: "What are you screaming about? Are you annoyed? Go away~"
'Chirp chirp', Maruko's voice lowered, full of grievances. However, he kept pulling Qingdai's clothes, trying to get her to forgive.
Qing Dai was impatient with the noise, and turned over and wanted to scold, but saw Xiao Maruko squatting on the ground, with some wild fruits and a pheasant in front of him.
Seeing that the little paws on Xiao Maruko's chest were still pointing at the fruit, Qing Dai instantly understood that Xiao Maruko was looking for food for herself. Seeing that he hadn't eaten all the time, and that he must have been thirsty under the rapid exercise, he went to find food for himself.
Qing Dai regretted being so fierce just now, and gently reached out and touched Xiao Wanzi's head, "I'm sorry, I just blamed you"
As soon as Maruko saw that Qing Dai had forgiven herself, she immediately drilled into Qing Dai's arms, happy to be arched everywhere.
"Hey~ Although I forgive you, but you can't be presumptuous, are you a male or a female?
Xiao Maruko looked at Qing Dai with a confused look, what does it mean that this is male or female? Its mother died before she could tell it, and it didn't know what it was!
Qing Dai pulled the little balls out of her arms, took out the flint she had taken from the peasant woman's house, found some dry firewood, and prepared to raise the fire to 'cook'.
It is more convenient and faster to have flint and steel than to drill wood for fire, and the fire will be ignited after a few clicks.
Qing Dai was sitting by the fire eating fruit, but Xiao Maruko jumped up and picked up some firewood from a distance, which Qing Dai didn't expect that Xiao Maruko would be so smart.
"Do you want to eat it?"
Qingdai casually handed a fruit to Xiao Maruko, and Xiao Maruko took a small bite and spit it out directly.
"Is it that unpalatable?"
Qingdai didn't understand, she thought this fruit was very delicious, sweet and sour, how delicious!
There are still a few fruits left, and Qingdai is ready to start roasting chickens to eat, but this pheasant is full of hair, what should I do with it?
Qingdai tried to pull the chicken feathers directly with her hands, but the strength to eat milk was used, and she didn't pull a few sticks.
Xiao Maruko saw Qingdai pulling chicken feathers, and also came over to help. Qingdai didn't tear off the chicken feathers so hard, but as a result, the little balls even peeled off the skin after a few clicks.
Qing Dai couldn't believe it, obviously when she first saw it, the sackcloth pocket couldn't be torn open, why are the claws sharp now?
Whatever it is, roast the chicken first. Made a simple barbecue grill and Qingdai began her great work.
The fragrance slowly dispersed, looking at this pheasant is not small, I really don't know how Xiao Maruko killed something several times larger than his body, and directly brought it over.
When the pheasant was roasted to a golden brown, Qingdai couldn't bear it anymore, and tore a small piece down, which was already cooked. Qing Dai had a big appetite and was about to start, when there was a 'coo' sound in the quiet atmosphere, although it was small, but it was very real. It's the sound of swallowing saliva.
Qing Dai looked at the little balls squatting next to her, her eyes were about to pop out, staring directly at the pheasant meat in her hand, and there was a trace of saliva in her mouth without shame.
Looking at the appearance of the little ball, Qing Dai laughed under her breath and pulled the chicken butt and chicken head to it.
Xiao Maruko looked at the chicken butt on the ground, and then at the big head in Qing Dai's hand, glanced at it resentfully, and ate it slowly.
Qing Dai succeeded in playing tricks on Xiao Maruko, showed a smug smile, and then generously pulled a big chicken leg and put it in front of Xiao Maruko.
As soon as Maruko's eyes lit up, the two little paws quickly grabbed and began to gnaw.
Although this pheasant meat is a little firewood, but the taste is really not good, pure natural and pollution-free chicken, this modern feed chicken is really far worse than it.
After the pheasant meat was settled, and after eating some more fruit, Qingdai fell asleep satisfied.
Xiao Maruko saw that Qing Dai fell asleep, threw a few more firewood into the fire, and then went directly into Qing Dai's arms.
In the distance, the ghostly fire floated up from the bottom of the hillside, and seemed to be about to get closer, but Maruko immediately noticed it, staring at the direction of the ghostfire, his eyes flashed a strange light, and the ghostfire retreated down the hillside.
Xiao Maruko was very satisfied with this result, after the danger was lifted, he arched into Qing Dai's arms twice, and fell asleep deeply, today it really consumed too much physical strength, and it had to sleep well to replenish
This night, it passed too quickly.
'Click-and-......', the sound of horses' hooves in the distance woke up the sleeping Qingdai, and when I opened my eyes, the sky was bright.
Looking at the caravan from far and near, Qing Dai smiled maliciously.
