When I opened my heavy eyelids, I saw an unfamiliar cave. The cave was so quiet that I could only hear my own heavy breathing. My body felt like it was being crushed, my stomach was in turmoil, and I felt dizzy and nauseous.
Xiu'er climbed up top-heavy and knelt beside him, retching uncomfortably as the clothes on her body fell off, revealing her naked white body. Xiu'er was so stunned that she couldn't relax
The mountain wind made people shiver, and Xiu'er was frightened. She hurriedly pulled her clothes to cover her chest. Seeing that there was no one in the cave, she shivered and quickly put on her clothes. She tried to recall the previous scene, but who knew what was happening in her mind?
A blank, dizzy
Her eyes touched a coat at her feet. Xiu'er bent down and picked it up. The familiar clothes and the familiar smell made her eyes red. They were the clothes of her third brother.
Fragmentary memories came to mind. Xiu'er vaguely remembered that she fell in the heavy rain, and then the third brother appeared. He did not leave, but returned to her side.
Now that the third brother is back, where are the people? Xiu'er looked at the cave nervously. Except for a pile of burned ashes and clothes that had lost body heat, he didn't leave anything behind.
Is it possible that he left again?
Xiu'er panicked, ignoring her still feverish body, and ran out of the cave top-heavy.
Outside the cave, the sky has cleared after the rain, and the morning glow is rising. The late autumn sky is shrouded in light mist. Under the colorful rays of the sun, it exudes colorful colors, majestic but slightly sad.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the cave, Xiu'er, who was just looking down at the road, bumped into Man Man. When he looked up, he saw that it was An Yueze who had gone and returned.
"Third brother, where are you going?" Xiu'er was extremely nervous and looked at him with wide eyes, fearing that he would disappear if she didn't notice him.
An Yueze smiled, patted her head lovingly, and handed over the wild fruit in his hand. "I went outside for a walk and found you some food." He put his hand on her forehead. Although the high fever had gone down.
Some, but still hot to the touch
Xiu'er's hand touched An Yueze's body and asked in confusion: "Why are my clothes so wet?"
"It rained heavily last night. When I went out just now, the mountains were wet and my clothes got wet."
"I'm not hungry." She was used to acting coquettishly in front of An Yueze, and Xiu'er couldn't change it for a while. She stood on tiptoes and put the coat in her hands on for him, "Don't wear too much when you go out, be careful.
Caught a cold"
"I'm used to it." An Yueze smiled, put the wild fruit into her pocket, and reached out to tie her clothes.
"Don't move." Xiu'er slapped his hand away and stubbornly stood on tiptoes to tie his clothes.
An Yueze was tall and tall, and the embroidery was not even as high as his chest. In addition, the high fever consumed all her strength, and she was so weak that she couldn't even stand. She wanted to tie the belt on his chest with her own hands.
, my hands couldn’t exert their strength several times, and my fingertips were shaking on my strong chest...
Someone took a deep breath, and the embarrassing memory of last night came to mind again. He immediately glanced away, not daring to look at Xiu'er. Damn it!
"Okay." Xiu'er breathed a sigh of relief after completing a difficult task. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, pulled An Yueze to sit down by the stone, took out the wild fruits and wiped them clean. Xiu'er chose the most beautiful one and stuffed it into her
An Yueze said, "Third brother, hurry up and eat. We have to go on the road to find the zombie Taoist priest later."
An Yueze opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak. In the end, he still couldn't get the words out of his mouth. He pushed the wild fruit back to Xiu'er, "You eat it, I've eaten it."
Xiu'er put her hand away and put all the wild fruits in her pocket, "If the third brother doesn't eat it, I won't eat it either." This has been the case since she was a child. Every time she was hungry, the third brother would secretly give her his share.
Eat, and then pretend to be full
An Yueze took Xiu'er without folding it. Thinking of what happened yesterday, he had a splitting headache. "Xiu'er, you have grown up. Don't do anything as worrying as yesterday. If I really leave, you will be killed."
Drowned alive by the rain”
Xiu'er's smile froze on her face, she lowered her head to hide the mist in her eyes, and said with a sore nose: "But you haven't left either."
"But what if I really leave?" An Yueze became anxious, holding Xiu'er's shoulders to straighten her body, and said seriously: "Do you understand or not? No one will stay with you throughout life, death, sickness and old age.
Around you, all you have to do is to cherish yourself.”
"I don't understand, don't understand." Xiu'er went crazy and smashed the wild fruit on the ground, crushing it to pieces, "I don't understand, I will never understand!"
An Yueze was angry, "Can you please stop being so willful!" For the first time, he felt angry towards Xiu'er, who he regarded as a treasure.
"I'm just so willful. If you want to leave, just leave!" Tears streamed down like broken beads.
An Yueze was so angry that his lungs hurt. He didn't know what to do with the child in front of him who was afraid of melting in his mouth and afraid of falling when he held it in his hands.
He hugged her and hugged her tightly, "Xiu'er, what should I do with you?"
Xiu'er's heart was so painful that the bone-gnawing pain flowed through her blood, "Third brother, from the day I was born, I have been abandoned by God, and I have become a monster in the troubled times in the eyes of the world. Then, my father followed me.
Mom, and the second brother have all abandoned me and left, and now, the third brother is going to leave me too?"
"No one wants to abandon you, not even Third Brother. Xiu'er is so cute and kind, how could I be willing to abandon you?"
"But you abandoned me yesterday," Xiu'er sniffed, with a heavy nasal voice, "I don't care anyway, if third brother doesn't want me anymore, I will die!"
An Yueze hurriedly covered her mouth and said angrily: "Don't talk about death all the time. There are many people who want to live, but they don't have this chance."
Xiu'er glared at him angrily. How many people wanted to live, and she also wanted to live, but who was she living for?
"Who am I living for?"
"Live for yourself!"
"Without you, how can I have myself?"
The conversation ended unhappily, and the two sat sulkingly on each side, back to back, neither paying attention to the other.
Angry and angry, Xiu'er also knew that her behavior yesterday was out of anger. The third brother had always doted on her and would tolerate her in anything, which made her become lawless. However, this time, it was clearly him who made the mistake first...
"Third brother..." Xiu'er pouted aggrievedly and touched An Yueze's hand. "Let's go." We'll find the zombie Taoist Priest a day earlier. There will be more hope. Third brother's injury can no longer be sustained.
An Yueze stood up and pulled her up, "I'll take you to see a doctor first. If your fever doesn't go away, you will be in trouble." She had no idea that his injury was hopeless.
Xiu'er shook her head and pretended to be relaxed: "My fever is much better, and it will be fine in a while."
An Yueze was troubled by her stubbornness. Sometimes he would be so stubborn that even ten cows could not be pulled back to take her to see a doctor. It seemed that she would not agree to it anyway. He shook his head helplessly and put his hand on her forehead.
It doesn’t matter if it’s on, it seems like it’s not as hot as it was just now.
"By the way, Third Brother, did you help me change my clothes last night?"
"..." An Yueze's face was covered with black lines. He choked on her words and took a long time to explain: "Last night... you were soaked all over, so I helped you change your clothes and bake again."
Dry"
"Oh, thank you, third brother." Xiu'er didn't have any surprised reaction and turned around and walked towards the cave.
An Yueze was stunned and hesitated to speak. Thinking about such an embarrassing thing, it would be better not to mention it.
An Yueze was the only one who was troubled from beginning to end. Xiu'er didn't think much about the relationship between men and women. In the past two years, when she was going to Kuishui, before her breasts developed, her third brother would help her bathe from time to time.
After changing clothes, the two of them squeezed into the bed together, happily scratching each other's creaks, and having a lot of fun. In Xiu'er's subconscious, the third brother was closer than his parents, both physically and mentally.
In addition, she was confused by the fever last night and had no memory of An Yueze accidentally touching her breast. So when she woke up the next day, although she felt a little weird about the third brother helping her change clothes, she didn't feel anything at all.
overthinking
One is disabled and the other is sick, the two of them are walking hard in the mountains
An Yueze has been collecting herbs in the mountains since he was a child, and he is familiar with the effects of various herbs. He selected several fever-reducing herbs in the mountains and forests, washed them and let Xiuer chew them raw. It was very bitter to swallow the herbs. He touched his pocket and took out only
The remaining sweet wild fruit was handed over to Xiu'er, who was dizzy and stuck out her tongue. She didn't care about the previous quarrel and crushed the fruit, so she directly took the wild fruit and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Huh..." Xiu'er stuck out her tongue and twisted her face into a knot, "Bitter!"
An Yueze smiled and said lightly: "Good medicine tastes bitter."
Xiuer's serious illness has not yet recovered, Xiu'er's steps are shaky, and the mountain road is difficult to walk. She almost falls down several times. An Yueze looks on with fear.
"I'll carry you." He really couldn't stand it. It would be terrible if it broke.
Xiu'er smiled and knocked off his hand, "I scared the third brother on purpose." The third brother's face was pale and bloodless. He coughed violently several times. Her heart trembled when she heard the voice. He had coughed up blood just now.
, just because he was afraid that she would worry, he secretly wiped away the blood in his palms with leaves on the roadside, and then smiled and talked to her as if nothing had happened, to relieve his boredom.
Afraid that the real answer would be scarier than her guess, she didn't dare to ask, preferring to stay silent and pretend she didn't know anything.
At noon, the two of them were sitting under a big tree to rest. An Yueze's forehead was constantly sweating, and he seemed to be getting more and more anxious. His eyes couldn't help but look around. He put a pot of mountain spring water in his embroidery and handed over a freshly dug one.
Shan Ge went over and said, "You eat some."
Anyue Zetou
Since Xiu'er was worried and sad, she forced a smile and said, "Then drink some water."
An Yueze looked away and said impatiently: "Let it go for now, I'll drink it later."
Xiu'er walked far away and turned her back to him. She smiled stiffly at the corner of her mouth, but couldn't help but shed tears. She had spent more time with zombies than anyone else. She knew very well what kind of temperament zombies have.
The third brother is afraid that he won't be able to hold it for much longer. His temper has begun to become irritable and his character is disappearing bit by bit.
Zombies are afraid of light, light is a deadly weapon
Xiu'er quietly wiped away her tears, searched for the low jungle, picked a few branches with green leaves, sat on the ground and knitted a big straw hat to block the light and sniffed, hiding her emotions and trying to think of herself as someone else.
A fool who doesn't even know
She walked up to An Yueze and placed the straw hat in front of him pretending to be relaxed, "Third brother, do you think the straw hat I knitted looks good?"
At that time, she walked past him and he was carrying her to drink water. He was holding the water bag in his hand. She saw that his nails were jet black, lifeless black.
With a shake of his hand, the straw hat fell to the ground. Before An Yueze could retract his hand, Xiu'er had already taken a step ahead of him, grabbing his hand tightly and staring at his nails, astonished: "Third brother,
your hands?"
"It's okay, don't make a fuss" An Yueze swept her hand away and took a sip of water quietly.
"You're still lying to me!" She had warned herself thousands of times, pretending not to know anything, but she still couldn't help but Xiu'er grabbed his hand and stared at his black nails angrily, "You
He told me that the beads can relieve corpse poison, why is it still like this?" The beads are still on his body, so why do his nails turn black? Is the third brother poisoned or turning into a zombie?
An Yueze pulled her to sit next to her, "Xiu'er, the pearls do have the effect of alleviating corpse poison, otherwise I might have turned into a zombie long ago."
"Then what are you doing now..." Xiu'er looked at his nails distressedly, why did he cough up blood, and why were his nails so black?
"Xiu'er said that there are two types of zombies in cultivation, one is blood-sucking, and the other is sucking spiritual energy. The beads are called corpse poison relieving. It just gathers the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and sucks it into my body. It belongs to the latter cultivation method.
I have inhaled spiritual energy in my body, and my desire to suck blood is not as strong as before, so the spread of corpse poison is relatively slow, but it does not mean that it has not spread."
"That is to say, if the third brother insists on sucking spiritual energy to practice, he can stop sucking blood, right?" Xiu'er's desperate heart suddenly surged with an unprecedented hope. As long as the third brother can restrain the desire not to suck blood, he
Just like the little zongzi, if you don't make a living by sucking blood, you won't hurt humans. Then, even if the third brother turns into a zombie, he won't hurt humans. What's the difference between a human and a zombie?
An Yueze was silent for a while and then said: "The reason why zombies can't help but suck human blood is because it requires a lot of spiritual energy to maintain life or practice. There is too little spiritual energy in the world, and humans are the spirits of all things, so zombies can
An instinctive desire for blood.”
Xiu'er's body went limp and she sat down. After all, zombies still want to suck blood!
