After Chu Qiao shouted in surprise, the surroundings became quiet again. She could not hear any returning footsteps. He had already walked away.
"You went too far. You didn't even give me a weapon for self-defense." Chu Qiao wiped her nose sadly, her eyes were red, and she was almost crying.
There is nothing in the world that is more despicable than the current situation. This is far more frustrating than when she heard the news of his breaking off the engagement while standing in the snowy night a long time ago.
"Come on, I will fight with you."
Chu Qiao walked around on the snow and found a dry branch protruding from the snow. Her eyes suddenly lit up. In such extraordinary times, it would be good to have a dry branch to defend herself. She held a dry branch.
, but even with all his strength, he couldn't pull the dry branches out of the snow.
She exerted too much force, and the branch suddenly fell away, and she sat down in the snow.
Just when Chu Qiao was struggling in great annoyance, she suddenly heard a burst of joking laughter.
"Not yet." A proud voice rang.
who?
Chu Qiao turned around and found that there was no one behind her. She thought for a moment, then slowly raised her head and found a big hand hanging down from the big tree and extending it to her.
Chu Qiao looked up her arm bit by bit and found Chong Ximo squatting on a branch, looking at her with a smile in his eyes.
He didn't leave, but climbed up the big tree?
In other words, the tension and fear that he felt just now were all reflected in his gaze. Chu Qiao's face suddenly turned red. She didn't know whether she should hand it to him, but she was so angry in her heart that he was frightened.
she.
"If I don't give you my hand, you will be in danger."
Chong Ximo reminded Chu Qiao coldly. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the distance, and several white figures ran towards this side.
Chu Qiao had no time to hesitate. If she hesitated any longer, she would have fallen into the wolf's belly. She grabbed Chong Ximo's big hand and wanted to climb onto his arm immediately.
Chong Ximo frowned, shook her hand hard, and lifted her up.
Chu Qiao felt her feet leave the ground and rise rapidly. Just when she felt dizzy, his arms had already wrapped around her waist and held her tightly in his arms.
In an instant, the heavy breath rushed directly into the hollow of her neck, warm and a little itchy. She was very close to him. As long as she got closer, her cheek could touch his lips, fearfully.
The feeling was gone, but the shyness made Chu Qiao feel hot all over, and she didn't know what to do.
"Take it!" He handed her a sharp dagger.
With the dagger in her hand, Chu Qiao swallowed her saliva and stared at the dagger in her hand. It was of no use to her at all. If the snow wolf pounced on her, she wouldn't even have the strength to stab the dagger out.
Obviously, Chu Qiao is not as fearless as she thought, she is really scared.
"I'm very, very nervous..."
Chu Qiao's hands were shaking, shaking violently. Maybe this tension did not come from the snow wolves that were flying towards her, but from the way Chong Ximo held her. The gap between the tree branches was not big, and she could not help but feel nervous.
Don't get close to his body, just cling to him.
Leaning her body awkwardly back, Chu Qiao hoped that Chong Ximo would not misunderstand that her approach to him like this was also one of the ways to seduce him.
"Don't move!"
His voice was very stern, and he hugged her hard with his arms, holding her in his arms again, so tight that she could hardly breathe. Then he lowered his voice and warned her: "If you fall now, you will die.
"
After such a reminder, Chu Qiao lowered her eyes and took a look. After one glance, she was stunned and really didn't dare to move. Under the big tree, there were at least six snow wolves wandering around, leaving them on the snow.
Circles of footprints, their hair blown by the wind, is as white as snow, but their eyes are blood red and fierce.
"What should we do now?" Chu Qiao shrank subconsciously, approached Chong Ximo, and asked in a low voice.
"Wait." He only said one word.
wait?
Wait for these wolves to leave? Or wait for someone to come to them? Chu Qiao panted uneasily, clutching the dagger tightly in her hand, as if the wolf could leap high and swallow her in one bite.
"Take a nap if you feel sleepy. Liu Zhang and Xu Jin know that I occasionally spend the night at the hunting ground, so I won't come too early. Or, these snow wolves will wait for a long time and find another target."
After saying that, Chong Ximo took out a sharp sword from his waist, changed to a comfortable position, and leaned on a thick branch.
In the middle of the night, he rode back once, took the clothes and returned, but did not dare to say anything. After all, Chu Qiao's disheveled appearance would be misunderstood by others, and he did not want to ruin her reputation.
But Chong Ximo didn't expect to be trapped in such a snowy night, and now he could only wait for Liu Zhang and Xu Jin to come find him.
"They went back early. They will find out that I haven't come back around noon." He said, thrust his sword hard into the trunk of the tree, and placed the blade across his legs to prevent the snow wolf from suddenly jumping up and biting.
Hold his legs.
"Are we going to stay here until noon?"
Chu Qiao was a little unsure whether she and Chong Ximo would freeze to death on this big tree if they didn't come at noon. After stopping like this, she was already a little cold.
"Yes, if you are lucky, the snow wolf will not leave until dawn."
After Chong Ximo finished speaking, he closed his eyes. He seemed tired.
How could Chu Qiao dare to sleep? She stared at the snow wolf under the tree with her eyes wide open. The snow wolf also stared at her, its red eyes unblinking. Occasionally, the wolf would yawn and close its eyes for a while.
, but had no intention of leaving.
"Let's go, let's go." Chu Qiao whispered towards the big tree, hoping that the snow wolf would leave quickly, as there would be nothing to eat if he waited like this.
Six snow wolves were crouching around the big tree, staring at her blankly. They licked their mouths and howled a few times. One of them stood up and circled around the big tree. Occasionally, he would
Grip the bark hard with your claws.
"I'm going to climb up." Chu Qiao was so frightened that she grabbed Chong Ximo's hand and shook it nervously.
Chong Ximo didn't even open his eyes and whispered.
"Wolves can't climb trees."
Yes, wolves can't climb trees. She had heard adults say this when she was very young, and now she was so frightened that she became confused.
Chu Qiao felt embarrassed and let go of his hand, but Chong Ximo held her hand in his hand. The warmth hit her, making her even more uneasy.
Just when Chu Qiao was about to take her hand out, there was a sudden commotion in the distance, something rushed towards her, and then there was a huge wolf roar, and the snow on the branches fell one after another.
Chu Qiao shrank her head in fear and quickly hid in Chong Ximo's arms, while Chong Ximo also opened his eyes alertly.
