He wanted to follow her, but he had no choice but to get hungry at noon. There was no food in the deep mountains and forests, and he had never learned how to survive in the wild. What should he do? He could only shamelessly catch up with the girl and beg for some food.
I'm a little embarrassed, but who told us to be thick-skinned?
Li Mu thought to himself as if to comfort himself, while eating the dry food handed over by the girl.
It was dry food, not dried meat. Although there was still a lot of dried meat left, the girl had no intention of giving it to him anymore. She just gave some of the dry food she prepared to Li Mu. Li Mu was not embarrassed to insist on eating dried meat.
, after all, he was the savior, and through yesterday's exchange, he also made it clear that the dried meat was a reward for the rescue. How could he have the nerve to get it back after he had given it away.
What's more, the girl's own dry food was quite delicious. She didn't know what it was made of, but it had the texture of the 'vegetarian meat' she had eaten in her previous life. She gave Li Mu three pieces in total, and he ate all three.
He wasn't full either. The girl noticed it and gave him another piece after hesitation. Li Mu also ate it politely. When he wanted it, the girl said nothing and refused to give it to him.
"What's your name? Where are you going?"
"Are you doing errands or going home? Visiting relatives, right? Whose house are you going to?"
"Don't worry, you helped me, and I will definitely repay you. I, Li Mu, do what I say. By the way, have you heard of the name Li Mu? He is a well-known figure in the Chang'an and Luoyang area. Who doesn't give him some face?
"
"Do you know how to get to the nearest Yamen?"
"Do you have a government office here?"
Li Mu was like a chatterbox, talking non-stop around the girl. The girl was also a ruthless person, and she really treated Li Mu as nothing, and turned a deaf ear to his words. She ate a piece of dried meat by herself, and after she was full, she set off on the road again.
Li Mu's wishful thinking came to nothing. He originally wanted to drag the girl away and keep her here. This way, when Dugu Jiu and the others came to find her, they wouldn't have to search for too long. He had already left marks along the way. He pulled up his shirt.
It was torn into strips of cloth, and marks were left at regular intervals. Dugujiu had people who were good at tracking, and as long as they found a mark, they could follow it and find it.
But now that the girl is gone, Li Mu doesn't dare not to follow her. He still has to leave the mark, but the strips of cloth are getting narrower and narrower - who knows where this girl is going. What if she goes too far and her shirt is torn?
If I use it, do I have to tear off all the other clothes too?
Li Mu also thought about everyone going their separate ways. But after thinking about it, it still couldn't work. Because Li Mu suddenly realized that he might be a waste, at least in this deep mountain and old forest.
No one here knows who he is, let alone knowing, no one has seen him. He has money, but no place to spend it, and can't buy anything. He doesn't know the skills of surviving in the wild, where poisonous insects and beasts are everywhere.
In the deep mountains and old forests, there is death everywhere.
But it was different with the girl. From the first moment they met, Li Mu knew that this girl was special. Who among ordinary people could build a canoe and cross the river?
Moreover, he had just witnessed with his own eyes a scene where a venomous snake that did not know how to write the word "death" tried to attack from behind, but she cut it into two pieces with a wave of her hand.
Now the system cannot be used, and even the position of the signposts cannot be sensed. Li Mu is in the woods and cannot tell the difference between south, south and north. The possibility of surviving after splitting up is too low.
It's better to follow this eldest sister and risk your skin. Survival is the most important thing.
…
It is actually a bit inappropriate to say that she is the eldest sister. This girl looks to be about Wei Yingluo's age, sixteen or seventeen at most, and definitely not older than herself. To be precise, she should be called younger sister. But she saved her
Calling her sister by her own name seems too frivolous. Li Mu still calls her eldest sister. He is short-tongued and has a sweet mouth when he is trying to make a living.
Although they haven't said a word since they met, Li Mu can feel that this girl is a very kind person. She could have just left and let the river drown her, and no one would know and no one would look for her.
Trouble, but she didn't, and still saved herself at the last moment, which shows that she is a kind-hearted person.
Moreover, Li Mu also discovered that she seemed to be traveling faster in the woods than on the plains. If she really wanted to get away, she would not be able to keep up. But she did not do so, which further shows that she has a good heart.
.
What a good man! Such a good man must be repaid!
"Looking at your age, are you married yet?"
The girl gave him a sharp look.
Li Mu just pretended that he couldn't see it and continued: "If we don't get married, how about I introduce you to one? I have a brother named Dugujiu. He is a rich second generation... What does rich second generation mean? I don't understand? Oh, what?
Speaking of which, his family is very rich." After a pause, Li Mu added: "It's not just about being rich, there are many people in his family. Many of his uncles and brothers are generals, and they have money and people.
Power, awesome, right?"
"He is the only heir?" Li Mu said more and more happily: "He is also very handsome. How handsome is he? Let me tell you this, he must wear a mask when going out. If he doesn't wear a mask, he will
Was she mistaken for a woman, or is she that kind of stunning beauty?"
The girl rolled her eyes.
"Do you think I am bragging?" Li Mu snorted: "That's not enough! Do you know how powerful his kung fu is? My brother is a top-notch swordsman in the world. How fast is his sword?
..." Li Mu picked up a branch and gestured: "Swish, swish, swish, the enemy is already dead before you see him take action."
The girl turned her face to the side and continued to pick up dead branches. It was already evening, and it would be very unsafe to continue traveling in the mountains at night, so she had to prepare enough firewood for the night before the sun went down.
The main purpose of a bonfire at night is not for lighting or heating, but to drive away wild animals. Especially venomous snakes. Snakes like the cold and are afraid of heat, and will not take the initiative to approach the fire.
The closer you are to Ling Snake Mountain, the more poisonous the snake is. Even if the girl brought medicine to treat the snake venom, she did not dare to neglect it.
The bonfire rose and illuminated an open space about two meters square. Before Li Mu could speak, the girl took the initiative to give him four pieces of dry food, then ignored him and took out a piece of dried meat to eat.
"When I'm at home, there's no meal that doesn't have seven or eight dishes." Li Mu muttered as he ate, "There's also meat, beef, mutton, chicken legs... I can eat whatever I want. Alas, what if my wife knew that I was suffering like this?
She is so distressed by the suffering..."
The words of self-pity attracted the girl's sideways glance. Li Mu saw what she meant from her eyes: "Why, I don't think I can have a wife? Hey! You really look down on me, I tell you
You, I not only have a wife, I also have a son, I not only have a son, I also have a daughter, twins!"
The girl snorted, obviously not believing it.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you. You will understand when my brother finds me."
Li Mu muttered, but when he saw the girl, he still ignored him. Feeling bored, he threw the remaining two pieces of dry food into his mouth, found a tree to lean against, and turned slightly to prepare to 'sleep'.
"As promised, you can't leave me behind again." Li Mu warned, and his consciousness entered the system. He had to continue to work overtime tonight to complete the data as soon as possible. Without the system, it would be difficult to do anything, and he also needed the system.
Help him locate the signpost stone.
The girl looked at Li Mu who was "sleeping" with a complicated mood.
She really thought about leaving, but it wasn't because of Li Mu's instructions that she didn't leave, it was entirely because of the entanglement in her heart.
If Li Mu hadn't caught up with her today, it might have been over. But Li Mu caught up with her, and she fell into conflict again.
Yesterday, in order to save people, she gave Li Mu breathing through her mouth, which was artificial respiration.
In all her life, she had never had such close contact with a man. When she ran away this morning, she originally thought that it was also to save people, but Li Mu didn't know, so she didn't mention it, and she wouldn't mention it in the future anyway.
When we meet, we can't see each other.
But unexpectedly, Li Mu still caught up with him and kept talking for a whole day. The girl listened to him and felt confused. Just now she heard that Li Mu said that he had a wife and children, and she became even more confused.
He actually has a wife.
In fact, the Miao people are more open-minded than the Han people when it comes to weddings and funerals. Not only are Miao women free to fall in love, but they also have the right to choose their husbands, and they also have the right to divorce their husbands. Even as long as both parties agree, a Miao woman can
A woman can have two husbands, just like a man has three wives and four concubines. In terms of equality between men and women, the Miao people implement it more thoroughly.
But this is not always the case. After the Miao family split into two major factions, the 'White Miao' and the 'Wumiao', the rules also underwent new changes.
The Bai Miao are conservative and advocate all customs to imitate the ancient rituals. But the Wumiao are different. The Wumiao seek changes and introduce many Han rituals. In the Wumiao village, the rights of men are obviously greater than those of women. Although the Bai Miao are
In Miao, it is rare for a woman to have two husbands, but in Wumiao, there is no one. The girl belongs to Bai Miao, and the love she longs for in her heart is loyal and unique, not sharing the same love with others.
a husband.
What's more, this husband is a Han Chinese.
In the social environment of the Miao family, the two major factions, Bai and Wu, are criticized for marrying each other. Marrying a Han is simply a heinous sin. Thinking of her father's attitude, the girl sighed softly and said:
The absurd thoughts that arose were suppressed.
It's impossible, so what are you thinking about? How can I bring him home to my father when I can't get over it?
I still don’t want to think about it anymore, business matters are more important.
The so-called business matters are actually nothing. In the dispute between the Bai and Wu factions, her small Miao village has not been able to intervene, and she is not qualified to speak. She came here this time in addition to protecting her own Miao village from being expelled.
In addition, it is to deliver medicine to the saint.
The holy girl is about to give birth to a child, which is a great event for the Snake Spirit Sect. After a woman gives birth, her vitality is severely damaged and needs nourishing. Her father is a famous Miao doctor in Bai Miao. He has a nourishing prescription passed down, three
A few months ago, a messenger from the snake spirit came to ask for medicine. Dad prepared the medicine for more than two months and even broke his arm because of it. Finally, he made the medicine.
The girl touched the porcelain bottle in her arms. The thirty small pills in it would be gone if she lost them. If the saint made a mistake because of this, her sin would be huge.
Logically speaking, the Snake Spirit Religion believes in snake spirits, and the person they respect should be the leader. The leader is chosen by the snake spirit, and his origins vary. There are Miao and Han people, but as long as he is chosen by the snake spirit, hundreds of thousands of Miao people
Spiritual leader, no one will question.
However, this generation is different.
The snake spirit resided in a person whose constitution was not suitable for her. She could not be the leader of the cult. Although the leader's constitution was suitable, his body was too weak and he could not shoulder the responsibility of the leader. Finally, after the discussion of the elders, the Holy Spirit was born.
A stop-gap measure for a female to temporarily take over the duties of the leader.
Therefore, the saints of this generation are the actual leaders. The nominal leaders are like puppets. Moreover, the saints have done so well. They have done countless good things for the Miao family and mediated countless disputes. They have greatly contributed to the success of the Miao family.
It eased the conflict between the Bai and Wu forces. Although she was not the leader, her status in the hearts of the Miao people was obviously higher than that of the leader.
The Holy Girl has been giving silently and has never asked for anything in return from the Miao people. All Miao villages are hoping to do something for the Holy Girl. Now that her father got this opportunity, he worked hard to collect enough medicinal materials and refine it.
If she lost this bottle of medicine, how could she afford it?
The girl was on guard against Li Mu because of this connection. After all, people are separated from each other, so who knows if he came here to grab the medicine.
That night, the girl slept still alert.
