Chapter Twenty-Eight: Farewell
After Xiu'er finished speaking, she wanted to stab the fish with her sword, but how could her three-foot long sword stab the fish at the bottom of the water, she was busy by the stream for a long time and still found nothing, she was angry and annoyed, and scolded in the water: "When my strength recovers, I won't kill you all." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Gu Jianqiu's body was weak, he had been closing his eyes behind him to recuperate, and when he heard Xiu'er's scolding, he opened his eyes and said weakly: "You don't go into the water, how can this three-foot long sword be reached?"
Na Xiu'er stabbed the water with his sword a few times and said, "Go into the water?
"Why don't you cut some twigs and use them as throwing knives?"
"yes, that's a good idea, you've got a lot of brains. So he cut down some branches, and sharpened them with his sword, each of which was several inches long.
Xiu'er cut a large handful of sharp branches, and then went to the edge of the stream, and sneered: "Look at this and wait to escape?"
Although her skills have not yet recovered, but at such a close distance, she is still full of strength, and in an instant a few white-bellied herring fish floated on the surface of the water, and used a long branch to paddle the fish floating on the water, and was about to pick up the fish, suddenly bubbles in the water gurgled up, and two big turtles covered with green hair floated over, opened their pointed mouths, and took a bite of a fish.
Xiu'er saw it, angrily slapped the green turtles with a branch, the green turtles churned for a while, and sank to the bottom of the water, Xiu'er quickly picked up the remaining fish, among which there was a jaw fish and a perch, the largest body, weighing one or two catties, Xiu'er was overjoyed, and threw two fish in front of Gu Jianqiu, Gege smiled: "We have a full meal." ”
Gu Jianqiu responded calmly: "Hmm." ”
Xiu'er cut open the belly of the fish, hollowed out the entrails, washed it with the water of the stream, made a fire, set up a few thick branches, pierced the two big fish with a long sword, and roasted them on the fire.
The fish meat is not more difficult to cook than the beast meat, and after a while, it is already fragrant, Xiu'er used a dagger to cut the fish meat, only to see that the bone spurs of this fish are thick, and it is very easy to remove, so he took a large piece of fish meat and handed it to Gu Jianqiu and said: "This fish meat must taste fresh and tender, you taste it first." ”
Gu Jianqiu struggled a little in his heart, but after thinking about it, he had eaten so many things she had fed anyway in the past few days, and if he didn't eat it, he was afraid that she would come hard again, so he said: "Don't work for you, I'll come by myself." ”
"That's what it sounds like. ”
Xiu'er Gan Yan handed over all the long swords with two big fish on the string, and said, "You are weak, eat more, and only after you have recovered your strength can you hurry." After speaking, he looked at Gu Jianqiu with a smile.
Gu Jianqiu saw that this cultivator was holding a long sword, sitting beside him and looking at him, embarrassed, and said softly: "You can eat it too, just give me one." ”
"I'll eat it when you're done. Xiu'er still looked at him.
"This ......"
"Don't do this, that, eat it. ”
"I ...... You ......"
"Quite a backbone person, why is he such a mother-in-law and mother again?"
Gu Jianqiu finally couldn't help it, and said softly: "You are so ...... Look at me, I ...... But I can't eat it. ”
"You ......" Xiu'er was angry and annoyed, pulled out a fish with her hand, handed the long sword with another fish strung to Gu Jianqiu, and walked to the edge of the fire to eat, ignoring Gu Jianqiu.
The two of them ate the grilled fish silently, and Xiu'er sat by the fire with his back to Gu Jianqiu.
Seeing this, Gu Jianqiu knew that she was still sullen about Fang Cai's affairs, so as not to embarrass the two of them any longer, Gu Jianqiu handed the sword back to Xiu'er, and said first: "Hmm...... What are you and I going to do next? Even if we get up and hurry?"
Gu Jianqiu didn't know how to call Xiu'er for a while, although he heard Xiao Wangchun call her Xiu'er, but this "Xiu'er" was clearly a cordial title, not to mention that this person and himself were incompatible enemies, even ordinary women, he couldn't call them.
Xiu'er only turned around and took the long sword coldly, but did not answer.
Gu Jianqiu asked two more questions, seeing that Xiu'er still didn't answer, he sighed lightly, and then stopped talking, just about to close his eyes to recuperate, but saw Xiu'er turn around and say, "I have no name and no surname? Who knows who you ask?"
"This ...... This uninhabited barren mountain range, I ...... Who can you ask?" Gu Jianqiu was stunned by Xiu'er's question.
"Your name is Gu Jianqiu, and my name is Xiu'er, do you know?"
"Repair...... Xiu ...... "Gu Jianqiu is fragmented, and his intuition is like a stalk in his throat, and he can't call out the word Xiu'er."
"Gu Jianqiu, is it so difficult to call me by name?"
"How are you and me doing now, but do you want to hurry?" Gu Jianqiu was flustered in his heart, and he still couldn't scream, so he could only diverge the topic.
Xiu'er stood up suddenly, glared at Gu Jianqiu and asked, "Gu Jianqiu, is it so difficult to call me famous?"
Gu Jianqiu's face was flushed, and he bowed his head and said nothing.
Xiu'er took a few steps closer, picked up the long sword, and said in a screaming voice, "Is it so difficult to call me by my name?"
In the past few days, Xiu'er has saved his life again and again, and Gu Jianqiu's feeling for this Xiu'er in his heart is not as hateful as before, and there are a few more feelings of gratitude in his heart, and he also has a sense of closeness.
At this moment, under Xiu'er's repeated questioning, he didn't know how to answer for a while, sat on the ground, and just looked at Xiu'er in a daze.
But at this moment, in a trance, Gu Jianqiu remembered the identity of the Xiu'er Blood Flame Sect, and naturally, the blood feud of the family's annihilation suddenly came to mind, and more than 100 women and children from the Gu family screamed miserably...... The bloody scene...... Especially the moment when he witnessed his father's beheading, he couldn't help himself.
In an instant, Gu Jianqiu's brows were tightened, his eyes showed a fierce light, he glared at Xiu'er angrily, gritted his teeth, his forehead was exposed, and he roared viciously at Xiu'er: "You and I have an enmity of one day, two places, three rivers and four seas, I don't share the sky with you, you can kill me, in the future, either you die or I die......"
Xiu'er was stunned by Gu Jianqiu's sudden hysteria, and stood in place in a daze, she trembled all over, staring at Gu Jianqiu for a long time, choked a few times, and tears fell like water without a levee.
Gu Jianqiu's eyes were prominent, his expression was extremely terrifying, and he still shouted loudly regardless of it: "I vow to kill your Blood Flame Sect to the ......."
Suddenly, Xiu'er hid her face and wept, turned around and ran to the small hill where the two had passed, crying loudly as she ran, leaving behind the crying and wailing of the road, which was extremely desolate and heartbreaking.
Gu Jianqiu sat in place in a daze, his chest rose and fell violently, slowly, he gradually calmed down, relieved his mind, but there was no trace of Xiu'er for a long time, and he regretted it in his heart.
He himself didn't know why, Xiu'er just asked a few words why he didn't want to call him by his name, how could he suddenly become almost crazy, and he asked himself a little ghostly.
He let out a long sigh, lay back on the ground, squinted, looking at the sky, maybe it was because of the sun's sting, Gu Jianqiu couldn't help blinking his eyes, two lines of clear tears flowed down, he turned over and sat up, tried to stand up, after eating so much fish, he also gained some strength.
He picked up the dagger left on the ground by Xiu'er, looked around, and saw this vast forest sea, no matter which side he looked at, he couldn't see through this deep and gloomy forest, and he didn't know which way to go, and he was afraid that this life would not be taken away.
He walked and stopped, and walked like this, and he did not know how far he had traveled, and after how long, the stream gradually became narrower, and the flow of the water slowed down considerably, and after walking for another half an hour, he came to the foot of a mountain peak, and when he looked up, he came to the source of the stream.
It turned out that the stream flowed from a cave at the foot of the peak, and the mouth of the cave was not large, only a foot wide, and there were so many trees around it, but it was full of boulders of different shapes.
Although it was still early, Gu Jianqiu was a little overwhelmed, and said in his heart: "The terrain here is flat, empty and bright, and there is a water source, so I will spend the night here today." ”
He picked a boulder to make a pend, and picked up a lot of small stones and dry leaves, only then suddenly remembered that he had no flint, and could not help secretly complaining, if he had spent the night in this forest, if there was no fire, he would not know what strange beast he would encounter, he was so weak, except for this dagger...... There was no other self-defense artifact, and he didn't even dare to think about it.
But Gu Jianqiu must be the queen of the famous door, and he is talented and intelligent, and he is familiar with all kinds of scriptures, needless to say, even this geography and astronomy are also well versed in one or two, he knows this kind of wonderful things in the primeval forest, there is nothing he can't see, only what he can't think of, he is alone, weak and weak, in case of danger, he will die for life, but the instinct to survive makes him cheer up again.
He used this little dagger to drag his tired body, and cut dozens of vertical branches one by one around the periphery, and then cut them into the shape of spear tips, along the perimeter of his perch, three layers inside and three layers outside, and inserted sharp branches obliquely all over the place, and it only took a few hours of busy work before the arrangement was completed, and he was drenched in sweat and was about to collapse.
While night was not yet coming, he went to find some mountain fruits, but he could not make a fire, so he could not roast food, and even if he had flint, he could not hunt meat with his present strength.
After finishing all his work, Gu Jianqiu returned to the boulder, leaned on the boulder, and ate the mountain fruits, some of which were bitter and sweet, and he didn't care about it, he ate them all, and ate them until his stomach was full, and he was also useful.
Gu Jianqiu leaned against the boulder, many past events came to his heart, which made him upset, he retracted his mind and saw that the sun was about to set, but all he could do was to wait for the night to come, just hope to spend the night calmly and peacefully, and then hurry tomorrow when he has enough spirits.
Faintly, he seemed to hear a long whistle in the distance, this sound was very similar to the broken cloud iron, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, his heart must be his fantasy that the eldest brother would find himself quickly.
In a daze, Gu Jianqiu, who was physically and mentally exhausted, fell asleep unconsciously.
I don't know how long it took, but in a hazy and dim way, he felt cold all over, and he woke up shivering and turned around.
I saw that the moonlight was cold and clear, and the cold wind was blowing, and I saw that the whole place was filled with a dense atmosphere, like a dream, and the shadowy trees were whining in the wind, as if there were countless demons and monsters lurking around here, and from time to time the unknown beast howled, which made him tremble.
Looking at the dark and boundless forest around him, Gu Jianqiu always felt that there were many pairs of eyes hiding in the darkness staring at him, which made him tremble and creepy.
Suddenly, Gu Jianqiu noticed that in the bushes not far in front of him on his right, there seemed to be two ghostly lights flashing one after another.
Immediately afterward, a fishy smell emanating from the beast's body came to his nostrils, and a low and heavy wheezing sound could be vaguely heard.
With only intuition, Gu Jianqiu knew that he had attracted the beast.
