Late at night, the weather seemed to confirm An Zimo's words. A strong howling wind blew through, followed by majestic heavy rain.
Listening to the sound of the heavy rain hitting the tent outside and the constant cold sound blowing in, Xiang Haiqing, who was lying in the sleeping bag, lost any sleep.
She sat up quickly, and then she realized that An Zimo was not sleeping in the darkness, and he was also sitting.
Xiang Haiqing stood up, took down the miner's lamp and turned it on, then turned to look at An Zimo, "The weather is really like what you said. If it continues to rain like this, our tent may be flooded."
Under the tent is a blown air mattress, which is very thick, about a foot thick, so it hasn't gotten wet yet, but if it continues to rain like this, it will get wet sooner or later.
And she could feel the coolness on the ground now.
"This is not the only danger we face now. The most dangerous thing is mudslides."
"What?" After hearing An Zimo's words, Xiang Haiqing was calmed down. "Mudslide, why do you say that?"
An Zimo raised his eyes and glanced at her lightly, "Our current tent is pitched at the foot of the mountain. The heavy rain has washed away the soil on the mountain and it is easy to cause a landslide."
"Is it that serious?" Hai Qing's little face turned pale. She would have followed An Zimo's advice and climbed the mountain if she had known it. Now she felt very regretful.
If it were her, that would be fine, but just her words left everyone here. If something really happened, she would become the culprit who killed them all.
An Zimo saw what she was thinking and knew that she must be regretting her talk and staying where she was. He didn't want her to put all the faults on him.
At that time, even he was holding on to a bit of luck, wasn't he?
"What I said is just a hypothesis, and it may not happen. Moreover, it is already three o'clock in the morning, and it will get dark in two hours. As long as we hold on until then, we can move our position and find a safe place.
place.”
After hearing An Zimo's explanation, Hai Qing felt a little more relaxed. "Then can we go up the mountain? You said there might be caves on the mountain where we can take shelter from the rain."
An Zimo shook his head, "It's raining so hard now, it's not suitable for climbing."
Just as both of them fell into silence, a large shadow suddenly appeared outside. Xiang Haiqing could guess who it was by looking at the high protruding belly.
Sure enough, their zippers were opened from the outside. The fat man touched the rainwater on his face and cursed, "Brother, come and help me, my tent was blown down by the wind."
An Zimo immediately stood up and planned to go out, "Wait a minute."
Xiang Haiqing stopped him and took out a sun hat from his backpack, "Put this on so you can see clearly."
An Zimo lowered his head and glanced at the hat in her hand, feeling a little warm in his heart. He took it and put it on his head, "Stay here, I'll be back later."
Xiang Haiqing nodded obediently. She just had a cold and hasn't recovered yet. Going out in the rain now would only cause trouble. It's better to just wait here obediently.
After zipping up the tent again, the sound of heavy rain could no longer be heard outside. An Zimo and Fatty must be working on the tent now, but there was no sound of them outside.
Xiang Haiqing got back into the sleeping bag. She didn't dare to turn off the miner's lamp, and stared at the tent in a daze with her eyes open.
At this moment, another figure appeared outside. Xiang Haiqing was stunned for a moment and sat up, "Why are you back so soon?"
She thought it was An Zimo and spoke, but at this moment, she heard a tearing sound outside the tent, and the tent was torn apart by people outside, revealing a hole.
At this time, Xiang Haiqing was really on guard. He raised his eyes and looked at that person. He suddenly felt that his whole body was cold. How could this be a human? It was a thing covered with hair, but it didn't look like an orangutan or an orangutan.
Monkey, if the whole face had hair, it would really look like a human.
Such a huge creature suddenly got into the tent, and Xiang Haiqing could no longer control the fear in her heart and shouted "Ah".
The big monster stared at Xiang Haiqing with ferocious eyes for a while, seemingly curious. It walked to Xiang Haiqing, knelt down and smelled it. Its eyes lit up and it suddenly hugged Xiang Haiqing.
Xiang Haiqing punched instinctively, and her nose smelled a disgusting stench. The big monster completely ignored her little mood and turned around and walked away into the heavy rain.
After Xiang Haiqing was carried out of the tent by the big monster, the heavy rain outside immediately hit her face. She forced herself to endure the cold and stinging feeling, and forced herself to open her eyes and look at An Zimo and the others.
"An Zimo, save me." She shouted loudly. At this time, the figure with his back to her not far away visibly paused, then quickly turned around and ran towards this side.
When An Zimo came in front of him, the big monster seemed to flinch. An Zimo didn't give it any time to think. He suddenly stepped forward and snatched Xiang Haiqing from its hand, and then slammed it into the big monster with his kick.
The belly of the monster.
The big monster seemed to be a head taller than An Zimo, but An Zimo kicked it up so hard that it fell to the ground.
At this time, Fatty and the others also rushed over, took out their pistols and fired a bullet at the monster.
"Ouch" the big monster screamed in pain, stretched out his hand to cover his wound, stared at An Zimo with fierce hatred in his eyes, turned around and ran quickly into the jungle.
An Zimo glanced at Hai Qing in his arms and felt very worried. He hurriedly turned around and entered the tent, placing Xiang Haiqing on top.
"Are you okay? Are you injured?"
He observed carefully and found a deep scratch on Hai Qing's hand, which was bleeding continuously, while she sat there stupidly, trembling uncontrollably.
"Does it hurt?" An Zimo asked anxiously, and hurriedly took the backpack and poured out all the contents. Finally, he found some antibiotics that could stop bleeding and disinfect inside, and took a syringe to draw it out of Hai Qing's arm.
Inject above.
Feeling the pain in her arm, Xiang Haiqing seemed to have come back to her senses. She looked at An Zimo in front of her and cried "Wow".
An Zimo was dumbfounded at first, then he hugged her gently from behind and patted her back slowly.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's all my fault."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu That thing smells so bad, and it's so ugly. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Hearing Xiang Haiqing speak, several people outside felt relieved, "Okay, you guys go back to bed quickly. I'm going to have a few words with my little brother."
Everyone nodded and turned around to leave. Fatty walked in, found some tape and re-glued a large piece of the monster's torn piece, and then walked up to Xiang Haiqing and An Zimo with a smile.
"Okay, stop hugging so tightly, let's analyze what kind of monster it is. Didn't you say that you didn't see any living creatures during the day, but you only saw one at night, and it was such a big one."
Xiang Haiqing got angry after hearing the fat man's words, "You can still laugh. That thing is so blind that it didn't find you. Why do you think your meat is more delicious?"
The fat man glanced at her, "Don't you understand? If that big guy just came here to eat, why would he choose you? I just saw that guy is a male, he must be looking for a wife."
As soon as he said these words, he attracted a pair of very attractive figures. The fat man smiled brightly, obviously a little afraid of An Zimo's eyes.
"Brother, don't be angry. What I said is based on science. If I saw it right just now, that thing looks like a savage. He must have seen that Hai Qing is pretty, so he planned to kidnap her back.
, such things are not rare, similar things have happened in other places, such as males abducting women, and females abducting men."
"Okay, stop talking." Xiang Haiqing felt nauseated for a while. "Do you have anything else to do? If not, go back to bed quickly."
The fat man laughed, and this time his eyes were gone. He would be happy for no reason as long as he saw this little girl angry.
"Are you okay?" It was An Zimo who spoke this time, and the fat man chirped a few times and became quiet.
"Yes, we have encountered such a big thing now, and we are afraid that it has accomplices. Now we are in the open and others are in the dark. If there is any sneak attack, it will be really troublesome."
When he said this, neither An Zimo nor Xiang Haiqing refuted it. It was indeed like what the fat man said. Although he always talked nonsense sometimes, it cannot be denied that what the fat man said was very reasonable.
Thinking back on the way that big monster looked at her just now, it really looked like she had found her other half. It was possible that she was really kidnapped by that guy and ended up being taken by that guy.
Thinking of this possibility, Xiang Haiqing felt uncomfortable all over, and her body was even more uncomfortable because the guy was hugging her just now.
"Forget it, Fat Uncle, let's talk about it tomorrow. I think that monster is injured and won't come back for a while."
What she wants most now is to change clothes immediately.
"Well, it's almost dawn now. I'm leaving. You guys can rest for a while, little brother, and think about how to deal with it."
After the fat man left, An Zimo found a bandage and wrapped the wound on the back of Xiang Haiqing's hand.
"Go to sleep for a while, I will watch over you."
How can Xiang Haiqing still feel sleepy? Even if she had been tortured by this monster just now, she would not dare to sleep anymore.
"I want to change clothes, you turn around."
"oh."
After hearing Xiang Haiqing's words, An Zimo turned around obediently, but there was an unnatural blush on his face. Haiqing usually kicked him out when changing clothes, but now it was raining heavily outside, so she naturally
Sorry.
He could clearly hear the sound of taking off clothes, and images that shouldn't have appeared in his mind. An Zimo closed his eyes tightly, trying not to let his thoughts wander.
Xiang Haiqing's right hand was injured, and now she can only use her left hand to put on clothes. It took almost ten minutes to do this.
After getting dressed, she looked at An Zimo with his back turned to her. She felt a strange embarrassment in her heart, "I've changed."
At this time, An Zimo slowly turned his head, his eyes were so deep that he couldn't see any light, and Xiang Haiqing tried not to look at him.
Lying in her sleeping bag, she couldn't sleep, and her body couldn't help but feel cold. She curled up unconsciously.
It must have been the long period of heavy rain and cool wind when she was carried out by that big monster, which must have caused her to catch a cold that she didn't fully recover from.
"Ah, cut."
She sneezed hard, her head felt dizzy, and a constant chill came from under the sleeping bag, making her whole body feel like it was wrapped in an ice cellar.
An Zimo, who was about to lie down again, stopped. He reached out and took out the cold medicine from his schoolbag, prepared a bottle of water and went to Xiang Haiqing's side.
"Take the medicine."
Xiang Haiqing slowly opened her eyes when she heard his cold voice, and then An Zimo saw clearly that her face was flushed, and she looked like she had a high fever.
He stretched out his hand and hurriedly applied it to her forehead, feeling a burning sensation coming directly from her.
A trace of nervousness flashed across An Zimo's face. Her body temperature must be much higher now than yesterday.
Xiang Haiqing took the medicine and lay back down again, but her body was still curled up together.
An Zimo stopped thinking, opened her sleeping bag and got in. At this time, Xiang Haiqing was completely burned out. She felt a trace of warmth coming from her back, and turned around and threw herself into his arms.
An Zimo felt the soft and hot body in his arms. He instinctively tensed up his body and lowered his head to look at her little face buried deep in his arms through the light.
Tenderness flashed across his face, and his hands unconsciously tightened, slowly holding her tightly in his arms.
Thinking back on these days, Hai Qing was defiant and reluctant at first, but then followed him closely. She reminded him of his previous life.
At that time, she was also pestering her like this. She always liked to let him lead her on horseback and shoot arrows. She always liked to sneak out to play, but when she came back, she would be punished by her parents.
At this time, he could clearly feel that the person in his arms was the Moli he was looking for, and this time he would never let go. Soon, as long as he entered there, everything would be over.
When Xiang Haiqing woke up, she felt exhausted all over. She felt a stinging pain on her back when she moved her arms. She looked outside, and at this time there was a faint light outside the tent.
She was about to get up, but she didn't expect something to be restrained around her waist. It was still very dark inside the tent. When she raised her head to Haiqing, she suddenly became alert. She actually fell asleep in An Zimo's arms.
This thought made her suddenly want to sit up, but she forgot that she was not sleeping on the bed at this time, nor was she covered with a quilt. She exerted such force but was violently bounced back by the sleeping bag, and fell down on An Zimo again.
's arms.
In fact, An Zimo had been awake since she opened her eyes, but she didn't know what to say when she opened her eyes.
It wasn't until Xiang Haiqing fell into his arms again and hissed that he hurriedly opened his eyes and saw her helping her up.
"It's better not to move your hand if it's injured."
Xiang Haiqing glanced at him, "You had a sleeping bag and you were so close. Why did you get into my sleeping bag?"
Hearing Hai Qing's questioning tone, An Zimo had no intention of telling her off, "You had a high fever last night."
His answer was very brief, but Xiang Haiqing already understood. Her mind was much clearer now. Although she had no strength at all, she still vaguely remembered the memory at that time.
She was very cold, so An Zimo got into her sleeping bag to help her warm up, but Xiang Haiqing still felt it was very inappropriate and her tone was not much better.
"Who wants you to keep me warm? You are so cold that you are of no use at all."
After saying this, she clearly saw An Zimo's expression change, and Xiang Haiqing's heart skipped a beat before she seemed to realize what she had said.
"You should take a nap." An Zimo got out of the sleeping bag, put on his coat and planned to go out. Seeing this, Xiang Haiqing hurriedly reached out to pull him.
But he also forgot the fact that his hand was injured. "Hey, it hurts."
An Zimo glanced down at her, and then he could only squat down to check her injuries.
When she turned on the miner's lamp, she discovered that there were blood stains on her hands. "Now we can only re-sterilize and bandage it. Please bear with it, it may hurt a little."
Xiang Haiqing glanced at An Zimo secretly, feeling a little guilty, "I'm sorry, I was joking just now."
An Zimo did not answer her, but concentrated on sorting out Xiang Haiqing's wound. Sure enough, as he said, when the gauze was peeled off layer by layer, the wound was pulled. Xiang Haiqing bit her lip tightly in pain and tried her best. Don't let yourself cry out.
Yu has basically listened now, and the tents next to her are very close. Fatty will definitely misunderstand her shouting like this, and then he will make fun of her endlessly.
She doesn’t want it!
Enduring the pain, An Zimo finally bandaged the wound with as much care as possible.
Xiang Haiqing raised his hand and looked at it carefully, then said thank you obediently.
Since meeting An Zimo this time, she can no longer feel the figure of An Zimo who was always quarreling with her. She has been replaced by another person. He is still so cold, but his cooling is more like A transcendent attitude.
It seems that many things have nothing to do with him. He always seems to be unshakable when encountering things. Maybe even if the sky is about to fall, he will not necessarily frown.
Even if you make him angry, you can catch a subtle expression on his face, and the rest will never be seen again.
Although she knew that An Zimo was no longer the same person as before, she felt that An Zimo was much kinder now than before.
"Are you hungry? My friend here is compressed biscuits." Xiang Haiqing took out the food in her bag and threw it to An Zimo, but he did not take it.
"You wait here for a while, I'll go outside and take a look."
"What are you going to see? I'll go with you." After last night's experience, Xiang Haiqing would never allow An Zimo to leave her sight.
"No, you still have a fever."
Xiang Haiqing pouted, "I don't care, I will follow you."
An Zimo stared at her quietly for a while, as if he wanted to see clearly what was going on in her mind. After a while, he sighed softly.
He picked up the empty backpack next to him and unzipped it to spread out the area as much as possible. Then he found something that should be regarded as an iron rod in Xiang Haiqing's eyes and fixed the backpack's bag on the iron rod. Above, I made a simple umbrella.
"Hold this later and try not to get yourself wet."
Xiang Haiqing held it up in his hand just enough to cover his body. This kind of mountaineering bag is very strong and made of pure leather. It can be used to keep out the rain.
An Zimo put on the hat Xiang Haiqing gave him last night and stood up.
Hai Qing also stood up, and An Zimo turned back to stare at her, and finally picked up one of his mountaineering jackets for her to put on. After everything was done, the two of them left the tent.
"What are you going to do?" Xiang Haiqing stared at him with great curiosity, but An Zimo did not answer her.
He kept walking towards the dense forest, carrying an ancient knife that never left his hand, and carefully observing the changes in the weeds on the ground. At this time, Xiang Haiqing suddenly remembered that the savage seemed to have escaped like this last night.
of.
Is An Zimo going to find that monster's lair?
Thinking of this possibility, Xiang Haiqing hurriedly caught up with him and grabbed him. "Hey, if you plan to find that monster, you have to tell Fatty and the others. Wouldn't it be better if we all go together to find that monster?"
An Zimo immediately shook his head and denied, "No, people will scare off the enemy if they are right."
"Why on earth are you looking for that thing? You didn't tell me what we were doing here. Now you can always tell me what we are looking for for this big monster, right?"
"Its appearance confirmed my idea. I want to find its escape route last night, and maybe I can find the entrance there."
"Where is that?"
An Zimo did not answer obediently this time, and stretched out his hand to pull her forward and continue walking forward.
Xiang Haiqing cursed in her heart, how could this little fat An change? His shrewd brain would never change, he was still such a monkey, and he would not be fooled at all.
An Zimo pulled Xiang Haiqing, who was complaining in his heart, towards a canyon. This was a gap between two mountains. The canyon was very narrow. If you looked up from the ground of the canyon, you could only see that the sky was
Just a straight line.
After arriving here, Xiang Haiqing could feel that An Zimo had become even quieter. It seemed that he could even feel his breathing, and Xiang Haiqing unconsciously slowed down his breathing speed.
When they walked into the depths of the canyon, he lowered his head and searched on the ground for a while, then walked around in front and finally returned to the original place.
"What? Did you find anything?" Xiang Haiqing asked as quietly as possible.
"The guy walked here and disappeared, but there is no entrance at all around."
Xiang Haiqing followed him and looked around. An Zimo was checking the vegetables that the savage had brought under his feet along the way.
Now, except for the weeds under their feet that have been stepped on, the other places are still smooth. Even if there are traces of being blown by the wind, they will not be as solid as the footprints that have been wiped away.
She suddenly raised her head and looked around, "Oh, there seems to be a footprint on it."
After hearing Xiang Haiqing's words, An Zimo immediately looked over, and sure enough, there were two rows of muddy footprints left on the rock wall of the canyon.
An Zimo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he finally knew where the entrance was.
"Come on, let's go back and come over when Yu hears it."
He took Xiang Haiqing's hand, turned around and walked back the way he came. Haiqing was not fully recovered yet, so they were waiting for a day. When the weather cleared tomorrow, they would set off towards their destination.
