"What's going on?" My mouth kept trembling.

"I don't know." Although Xiao Ai was also surprised, he was obviously not as scared as me.

"I didn't hear any movement at all, not just yesterday, but also today." I had a bad feeling.

"It looks like we are being followed. There are water stains behind the rocks, and the road feels wet. Someone must have moved here to scare us." Xiao Ai looked around carefully and said.

"Then why is there no sound at all?" Although I live in the 21st century and my mind is filled with scientific ideas, the talk of ghosts and gods still makes me feel a little guilty: "Could it be that this stone came here on its own?"

Xiao Ai turned around and smiled: "It's possible."

At this moment, I have recovered a little from the shock. There are indeed some traces of water droplets behind, but there are no footprints, but it is normal. After all, this is not a shore, and the soil is hard. But there are inevitably dead branches and leaves on the road.

How can we put it behind us without making any noise?

And how it was moved out last night is beyond me.

"Xiao Ai, what kind of life did you live before?" I suddenly asked such a question.

"Why are you asking this?" Xiao Ai asked confused.

"In this environment, in this situation, I was so scared, but you were just stunned for a moment. I think you are really calm." After calming down, I recalled what happened just now.

"I don't want to say it, but you shouldn't think that everyone is as timid as you." Xiao Ai got to the crux of the problem directly.

This made me, a dignified seven-foot-tall man, lower his head in shame. This bitch seizes the opportunity to sneer at me without even thinking about what the situation is now.

"Then what should we do now? We don't know who is following us."

"I don't know, but they probably don't want to hurt us, they are just driving us away, otherwise they would have done it last night."

Thinking back on it, I was really frightened.

"Then where are we going?"

"Can you help me think of a solution instead of asking me every time?" Xiao Ai suddenly said to me.

"Why do you, a man, have no opinion at all? We are in the wilderness now, and we are short of food and clothing. My abilities are limited and I cannot solve every situation. Do you understand? I can only tell you that I can only solve the problem of food and clothing.

I'm going to help you, I don't know anything else." She seemed a little excited.

Are you so excited to ask a question? I feel very puzzled instead. But to be honest, since I fell from the top of the mountain, I only happened to catch a frog worth mentioning. Xiao Ai took care of everything else.

To be honest, it is really embarrassing for a man. But what Xiao Ai said is not entirely unreasonable. After all, she has received wilderness survival training, and I am a typical intellectual. As the saying goes, in this case, a hundred

There is no use for being a scholar.

I was still looking for various words in my mind that would be beneficial to me, but Xiao Ai stood up impatiently.

"Are you leaving?" After asking, I regretted it, damn, it was another question.

Xiao Ai was not angry: "No, we want to stay here."

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid. There are lake monsters here and I have my purpose here. No one can stop me. They are just cowards who use such despicable tactics to scare people." Xiao Ai said decisively.

"It's up to you." Although I didn't like it very much, I don't like to be evaluated like that.

I tried hard to recall Mr. Bei's various survival skills in my mind. At least I need to build a shelter in this place. Obviously it is impossible to build a hut with my ability, but it is not a big problem to build a simple shack.

.At least there is shelter at night. It hasn’t rained in the past two days and I can sleep in the open air. Even so, it is quite cold in the middle of the night.

After making up my mind, I ignored Xiao Ai and went around looking for materials on my own.

Xiao Ai looked at me doubtfully and said, "Don't scare me away. Aren't you afraid of someone sneaking up on you?"

"Don't be afraid, I have practiced Taekwondo." I said pretending to be confident.

"Is it a self-defense technique for women?" Xiao Ai asked again.

I'm speechless... I might as well have learned Sanda back then.

It took me about two hours to set up a triangular simple tent. It was covered with thick leaves and a lot of leaves on the ground. It was very comfortable to get in. I guess Simmons felt the same way.

Xiao Ai was still staring at the lake in a daze. It had been extremely peaceful for the past two hours, as if the big fish had never existed.

The stone still stood there, motionless.

"I asked Xiao Ai, can you eat one of the ducks? Keep one, otherwise it will go bad." I felt the cold air around me and felt that this excuse was not suitable: "What if there is a problem?"

It's not safe for leopards and bears to be attracted."

Little Eli thought for a moment and felt that my latter opinion still had some merit, and then he threw the two ducks over to me: "Bake them crispy."

This girl seems to be hungry too.

The biggest difference between wild ducks and domestic ducks is that one can fly and the other cannot fly. My understanding is that even if a male eagle eats a lot of fat and still cannot fly, it is all caused by too much meat. After all, domestic ducks are just a duck.

Plant food.

Halfway through the roasting, I already felt that I couldn't resist the temptation, so I tore off a duck leg and started to chew on it. It would have been nice to have more salt and pepper.

Inviting Xiao Ai to come over for dinner, she said worriedly: "Actually, I don't know whether it's right or wrong to stay here."

I have never seen her so hesitant since the first time we met. After all, she is a girl, and in the end she has to rely on the man, I think so.

"It doesn't matter, just treat it as a honeymoon trip, and I can tell some legendary stories when I get back." After saying that, I raised my buttocks and prepared to be kicked.

After waiting for a while, there was no response.

Xiao Ai ate the roast duck quietly and said, "It tastes good."

I was stunned.

When I went to bed at night, I was surprised to find the unreasonableness of the tent.

It seems that I fit it according to one person's size...

Out of chauvinism, I said, "You go inside and sleep, I'll keep watch outside."

Xiao Ai cast a questioning look.

"What about that? I'll let you know if anything happens."

"I'm outside. I'm used to it. You're injured, so take a good rest." Her words sounded much gentler.

"Okay." Although I had just guessed what she would say: "I hope it doesn't rain tonight."

I don't know how long I slept, but I heard a faint sound of splashing. I suddenly got up and looked outside to see if there was any movement of the lake monster.

As soon as he came out, he saw a foot kicking in.

I turned sideways to avoid this blow, and when I drew out my short knife and was about to cut, Xiao Ai's whole body came in.

"Look at your crow's mouth, it's really raining outside." She straightened her clothes and sat there.

"Okay, let's all sit down and sleep." I put away my dagger.

Xiao Ai said: "It's quite warm in here."

"That's natural. Don't look down upon me. It took me two hours."

It rained lightly all night, and I felt half asleep and half awake, in a trance.

Vaguely, it was still the scene I had dreamed about before, a huge stone that looked like a sheep, and a strange fish roe with a dragon head and a fish body rolling back and forth in the lake. There seemed to be something strange behind the stone, with all kinds of ominous feelings. The monster appeared.

The water surface that just slapped seemed to want to break the stone, but it was too far away and had no effect at all.

Then it turned around, found me again, and rushed towards me. I was so miserable that I sat there with my legs weak again, watching the bloody mouth fall from the sky.

I was woken up again, but luckily, I didn't scream this time.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that Xiao Ai had woken up a long time ago, looking outside alone and not going out.

I just wanted to open my mouth and she covered it.

Following her fingers, there were messy footprints on the ground, and there were many of them.

It seems that yesterday's rain was not in vain, which means that someone is really following us.

But this also made me wonder when we were followed and why there was no movement at all even when the rocks were moved in and out.

After observing for a long time, there was still no movement outside. We simply showed up to see if we could catch anyone alive. As a result, the surroundings were quiet, and it seemed that there was nothing except those footprints.

Suddenly I remembered something and looked for the stone, but sure enough, it was gone again.

What do these people want to do with their lingering thoughts?

Xiao Ai said: "Let's go, let's follow them too."

"How do you track them? The footprints disappear in the forest." I asked in surprise.

"Remember when we first found the rock, didn't I say there was something on it?"

"Remember, what happened."

"It's a parasite. It doesn't have a scientific name because scientists haven't discovered it yet. They think parasites can only parasitize living organisms, but they don't know that this kind of bug exists."

"That's right, then how do you know?"

"I said, we have first-hand information on many things, and there are many things that science cannot explain. Let's go."

"Then how can we pursue him?"
