"Hu, Hu Ling, what kind of animal is that? Although it's a bit scary, it's actually quite cute. Why are you running away?"
Xia Xiaobei hunched over, holding his knees with both hands, looking at me panting and asking.
I thought about it and didn't tell her the truth.
"I don't know, it should be something like a fox. Its cry is quite weird. If it attracts any beast, it will be enough for us to drink a pot!" I said.
It’s not that I don’t believe in Xia Xiaobei, but it’s just that for creatures like Nephew Ying, the less people know about their existence, the safer they are. Human beings always like to hunt for novelties. If people know that there is such a thing in this forest,
Ancient creatures may eventually lead to their extinction.
The sun has slowly risen above the head, and the sunlight penetrates the gaps in the leaves and falls, as if it has sprinkled gold all over the ground.
Xia Xiaobei and I were both sweating profusely from running too far and too fast.
I leaned against a tree, sat down, took out two bottles of water from my backpack, threw one to Xia Xiaobei, and said, "Drink some water and rest for a while!"
Xia Xiaobei stood up straight, took the water and was about to drink it. He looked around and suddenly exclaimed: "Hu Ling, Hu Ling, look, it's coming!"
I followed Xia Xiaobei's gaze and saw the little firefly standing far away under a tree, tilting its little head and looking at me cautiously.
Seeing me looking at it, it jumped quickly and hid its body in the grass. But soon, it stretched out half of its little head and looked at me secretly with its bright eyes.
I almost doubted whether this was a young firefly, his little eyes were so intelligent.
I sighed secretly and waved to nephew Xiaoying.
The little nephew jumped up from the grass, like a red and reddish-brown lightning, and flew into my arms. He whimpered and hummed, stretched out his pink tongue, and kept licking my face.
Licking it, I was drooled all over my face.#@$&
What's wrong with this? I'm not familiar with it, but it's just like what Xia Xiaobei said. It really looks like a puppy, and it actually likes to lick people.
It made me giggle.
Nephew Xiaoying smiled when he saw me, rolled around in my arms, and kept whimpering and humming.
Xia Xiaobei looked at it dumbfounded and stuttered: "Hu, Hu Ling, why do I feel like this puppy knows you!"
"Ugh——" Nephew Xiaoying growled dissatisfiedly at Xia Xiaobei. Just as he was about to show his fangs, he turned to look at me again, glanced at her cautiously, and buried his head in me again.
In my arms, I looked like I was afraid of doing something wrong.%&(&
It seems that it thought I left it because it had scared Xia Xiaobei before.
Xia Xiaobei was stunned as he looked at it, and then he proudly made a face at Nephew Xiaoying and said, "Hey, you yell at me again? Can you try yelling again?"
I looked at the sky speechlessly.
Nephew Xiaoying glanced at Xia Xiaobei, a bit of contempt flashed in her big glass-like eyes, and she leaned into my arms and ignored her.
He looked like a good nephew who would not fight with a girl.
I pulled it out, but it got deeper and deeper into my arms.
It seems that it relies on me.
I grabbed its furry little fat body, raised it to my eyes, looked into its eyes and said, "You want to come with me?"
Although I have some doubts, I somehow believe that this little firefly can understand what I am saying.
"Ah wu--" Little Ying nephew whimpered, looking at me expectantly, sticking out his tongue and trying to lick my face.
"But your parents will look for you!" I said.
Nephew Xiaoying looked at me blankly and whimpered twice to please me.
"Oh, Hu Ling, just take him with you. He likes you so much and has been running with us for so long. He probably doesn't have his parents anymore!" Xia Xiaobei said at the side.
Nephew Xiaoying changed her attitude of being at war with Xia Xiaobei, turned her head and whimpered at her twice, wagging her tail.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud, and touched my nephew Xiaoying's little head, "Since you must follow me, then follow me, but you have to be good and obedient!"
Nephew Xiaoying whimpered twice as if he understood what I said, and licked my face crazily.
"Okay! Let's go!" I placed it gently on the ground and stood up.
The little nephew Yingying jumped happily and followed us forward, circling around us and making two childish whimpering sounds from time to time.
I smiled and shook my head at this cry. I guess people would be shocked if they heard it. I don’t know if it would make other sounds.
The sun was getting higher and it was already noon, and I didn't know how far we were from Jiming Village.
I took my phone out of my pocket and found that it had not been turned on.
When I turned on my phone, I was surprised to find that there was actually a signal in this place. Several messages popped up, all from Xiao Han.
Just as I was about to click on it, the ringtone rang again, and little nephew Ying stopped jumping and stared at the phone in my hand with a wary expression.
It was Xiao Han calling.
These days, my mobile phone either has no signal or battery, and I have been out of touch with Xiao Han. When I suddenly saw a call from him, I was so excited that my hands were shaking.
"Hey, Uncle Xiao——" As soon as I opened my mouth, I found that my voice was a little louder.
In the past, I always called Xiao Han "Master Xiao", thinking that he was not much older than me. After hearing Professor Zhang mention Xiao Han in the ancient tomb, I realized that he should be able to do what I do even for his age.
Dad.
Xiao Han was probably a little surprised by my address, so he was silent on the other end of the phone for two seconds.
"Hu Ling, where are you? Are you in any danger?" Xiao Han's voice came from the microphone, with its usual low tone, but it sounded particularly cordial to me.
"I'm fine!" I sniffed and said hurriedly: "I'm still in the forest and can't find the way back to Jiming Village. Can you send me your location?"
"Okay!" Xiao Han replied, and soon my phone remembered the WeChat notification tone.
"Did you see that? Hu Ling, how far away are you from us now?" Xiao Han's worried voice came from the other end of the phone again.
I opened WeChat and looked at it: "About fifty kilometers!"
"Okay, you share a seat with me, and we will pick you up! I heard Professor Zhang say that you are alone, right? Do you still have dry food and water with you?" Xiao Han asked me next.
"I have a friend with me who has dry food and water. Don't worry!" I quickly replied: "By the way, have you found Professor Zhang? Are they okay?"
"They are all fine! Don't worry, we will pick you up soon. Pay attention to your own safety!" Xiao Han said.
After hanging up the phone, I looked at Xia Xiaobei, and she was also looking at me curiously.
"Uncle Xiao called!" I said to her excitedly.
Just as she was about to explain Xiao Han to her, Xia Xiaobei said, "Is he the Heavenly Master that Ghost Face and Cripple have been mentioning? I heard he is very powerful. Can I see him soon?"
There was a faint excitement in her voice. This chapter has been completed!
