In the darkness, Zuo Shaoqing was not sleepy at all. Her guide was killed by Captain Aben's government troops, which made her extremely angry. This approach was too much. Now, can she cross the border safely?
It has become the biggest anxiety in her heart. Thinking that Captain Aben's government troops are nearby, she always listens carefully to the movements around her.
She felt that the boy beside her was not asleep, he was just lying motionless. After a long time, the boy turned over gently and faced Zuo Shaoqing. Zuo Shaoqing felt very sorry for him.
Sad, a strange maternal love quietly rose from her heart. She hugged the boy silently in her arms. She felt the boy's breath blowing on her chest. One of the boy's hands stretched out
Come over and carefully hold her waist.
Zuo Shaoqing lay quietly. She vaguely realized that the boy might regard her as his mother. The poor boy had only his grandfather and father in his family. He might have lost his mother when he was very young, and he had never even
Contact with women.
She recalled the strange brilliance in the young man's eyes when he saw her for the first time. Along the way, the young man always took care of her, pulled away or cut off the branches blocking her way, and sometimes pointed out
He stood at her feet. There was really a man's gaze in his young eyes. She still remembered the boy's smiling face when he held a roasted rice cake in front of her eyes, so childish and cute. Left
Shaoqing sighed deeply in his heart and hugged the boy tighter.
After a few minutes, they all fell asleep.[
The intermittent chirping of birds woke Zuo Shaoqing up from her dream. She looked around and saw that it was actually broad daylight, but in the dense rain forest, the surroundings were still in darkness.
She looked around and couldn't help but feel a little confused. At some point, the boy had left her arms and was lying on the grass about two feet away from her. His back was to her and his body was hunched. What made her feel strange was that,
His body was trembling slightly.
Zuo Shaoqing gently moved to his side, glanced in front of him, and understood everything. The young man was in such an unspeakable impulse. She saw that he had not yet fully grown up.
, there are still some childish things that have stood up. She was a little surprised and a little funny in her heart. It seems that the boy not only regards her as his mother, but more likely, treats her as a real woman, one who sticks to his side.
The woman who hugged him and let him smell the unique smell of women. She could even be considered a beautiful woman. Zuo Shaoqing couldn't help but think so.
With a little smile on her face, she leaned gently on his back, then stretched out a hand in front of him and held his impulsive thing. She leaned against his ear.
, said softly: "Okay, okay, it's about to be okay." The young man seemed to want to take her hand away, but her hand did not let go.
They were in a stalemate like this for a while. The young man's body trembled, and then gradually relaxed. He still had his back to Zuo Shaoqing, lying motionless. Zuo Shaoqing looked at his back silently, with a feeling in his heart.
It was a very warm feeling. She didn't say anything, she just pulled him to sit up and patted his shoulder gently.
But the young man just sat with his back to her, his head hanging, as if he had not recovered from the previous process.
Zuo Shaoqing stared at his thin body. She felt that the boy was shy.
Zuo Shaoqing smiled gently, pulled him up from the ground, faced him face to face, looked directly into his eyes, and then extended her thumb to him. What she wanted to express was, you have become a man.
The young man looked at her motionless, as if he was also guessing what she meant. Zuo Shaoqing straightened his waist, put his hand on the top of his head, and then raised it to his chin. After that, he raised his hand higher than hers.
Half a head above the ground. She lifted the boy's chin and asked him to look up. Then she patted his chest and extended her thumb again.
The young man seemed to understand what she meant. One day, he would grow into a tall man. At that time, he would be even better. He smiled sheepishly.
Zuo Shaoqing felt relieved, patted his shoulder and pointed forward. The young man didn't say anything anymore. He packed his things and led Zuo Shaoqing to continue walking forward.
Trekking in the sweltering tropical rainforest was a difficult and tiring journey. They stepped over fallen rotten trees, pushed aside dense branches, bypassed ravines, and climbed up step by step. Fatigue was like sweat,
flowed throughout their bodies.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, they had to stop and rest. They ate very little yesterday and only ate a little rice cracker in the evening. So far today, they have eaten nothing. They all felt hungry. The middle-aged man carried a basket on his back.
The soldiers had taken away the rice cakes inside, and now they had nothing to eat.
They sat down on the hillside and looked at the surrounding dense forest. Zuo Shaoqing gestured around and asked what food could be found in the dense forest. The young man curled his lips and shook his head.
The tropical rainforest is not full of fruits or other edible things as ordinary people think. It is only April and there are no fruits to eat yet. On the other hand, the fruits or plants in the tropical rainforest are not just available.
You can eat it, but it is very likely to cause poisoning or upset your stomach.
In Zuo Shaoqing's wild survival experience, if she can catch snakes or frogs, she can eat them. In the training class, she also trained the intelligence officers in this way. But now it is impossible to easily find such animals
.
At this time, the young man seemed to have discovered something. He gently leaned down and fixed his eyes on a place beside Zuo Shaoqing. Then, he gently crawled over and looked into the grass.
Zuo Shaoqing followed his gaze and looked into the grass. She soon discovered a hole the size of a fist on the ground under the grass, and there were signs of crawling outside the hole. She guessed that it couldn't be a
Snake hole.
The young man signaled to her that there was something edible in this hole. He broke off a thin branch and carefully stretched it into the hole. Zuo Shaoqing also became interested and lay on the ground like him, looking at the hole carefully.
.[
The young man poked into the hole for a while, and then what he pulled out of the hole scared Zuo Shaoqing out of his wits. It was a huge and terrifying black spider. Its body was as big as a fist. If
Pulling its eight legs apart, it was as big as a vegetable plate. Its body was covered with black fur, and its shiny black eyes stared at the two people outside the cave. Zuo Shaoqing's scalp was numb, and he looked toward him in fear.
Back away.
The boy was also very nervous. He dragged the huge black spider to an open space, and then pressed a wooden stick on the spider's back to prevent it from moving. He put his finger in his mouth and sucked it, then raised it into the air.
After testing the wind direction, he waved his hand and asked Zuo Shaoqing to move behind him.
At this time, Zuo Shaoqing also saw that the huge black spider was constantly rubbing its back legs with its two hind legs. Some extremely small black hairs flew up, shining slightly in the sun.
Light. Then, she felt the power of these tiny fuzz. Although she and the boy were in the upper wind, some fuzz still flew to their arms or legs. Zuo Shaoqing felt itchy and began to scratch the exposed area vigorously.
The boy also scratched his bare legs, but he always pressed the black spider firmly with a wooden stick.
A few minutes later, the huge spider stopped rubbing its butt with its hind legs. Its butt was now bare, and there was no more hair to fly up. Zuo Shaoqing still looked at the spider in horror.
Black spider.
At this time, the young man made a move that frightened Zuo Shaoqing. He stretched out the index finger of his left hand and pressed it directly on the spider's back from top to bottom. He threw away the wooden stick and started to grab the spider's back with his right hand.
Long legs. He grabbed a leg, lifted it up, and carefully placed it in the palm of his left hand. After a while, he held all eight long legs of the black spider in his palm. He relaxed for a long time.
After a while, he lifted the spider up and showed it to Zuo Shaoqing.
Zuo Shaoqing grinned and backed away in fear. She was not afraid of anything, but she was afraid of any bug. What's more, this was such a huge and terrifying black spider.
The boy smiled happily. He pulled a long blade of grass and tied up the eight legs of the spider. He put the spider on the ground, then began to search for dry branches on the ground and piled them up. He smiled and said to
Zuo Shaoqing stretched out his hand and gestured with a lighter.
Zuo Shaoqing took out a lighter from his backpack and handed it to him. The boy quickly lit a small fire.
He picked up the wooden stick and showed Zuo Shaoqing a knife-cutting motion. Zuo Shaoqing smiled. She knew that nothing about her could be hidden from the eyes of this smart boy. She pulled out the dagger from her waist and handed it to him.
The young man looked at the dagger over and over for a long time, curling up the corner of his mouth with great appreciation. He sharpened the wooden stick with the dagger, and then carefully inserted it into the spider's mouth, piercing deeply. He untied the spider.
blades of grass. The black spider struggled in the air with its claws and teeth, and even made a hissing sound.
The boy held up the wooden stick and sent the black spider into the fire. The black spider began to struggle desperately and almost broke away from the wooden stick. But it soon stopped moving.
Zuo Shaoqing looked at his series of actions in horror, and at the same time looked at the black spider in even more horror. She could not imagine how to eat this black spider. She would never dare to eat this black spider. It was too terrifying.
Already.
The boy turned the spider over so that it could be evenly grilled by the flames. He also scratched the spider's body with a wooden stick to scratch off the burnt hairs on the spider's body. After a few minutes, the huge black spider made a snapping sound.
And exudes an indescribable smell.
From Zuo Shaoqing's limited knowledge about insects, she knew that the joints of insects are filled with gas. After being grilled by flames, these air joints will explode, which means that the black spider has been cooked.
The boy also extended his thumb to her, indicating that the black spider was ready to eat.
He placed the spider on the stone and blew on it while wiping the spider's body with a large leaf to clean the burnt hairs. Now, the black spider's body had begun to glow with a black luster that made Zuo Shaoqing even more frightened.
