Chapter 262 Still Alive
Chapter 262 Still alive
On the mountainside southwest of Ten Thousand Bones Valley, there is a small stone house hidden in the dense forest.
The front of the stone house was surrounded by wooden stakes to create an open space. In front of the house, two dead trees were used to make a simple clothes drying rack, with three or two pieces of linen clothes hung on it.
The back of the house is also very simple, with a water tank, an earthen stove made of a few stones, and the dead wood cut down to the stumps. Finally, the back became a bench for the owner to enjoy the shade.
"Crack——"
Someone is chopping firewood.
The gapped hatchet made the tiger angry. The man chopping wood was about six feet tall, with the back of an ape and the waist of a wasp. Even though he was wearing washed-white linen clothes, you could see his slender figure.
The only flaw is that the man has a shallow scar on the side of his face and is unshaven.
If Fang Anren were here, he would definitely be surprised that Pei Mo, whom he had been looking for for so long, was still alive and had turned into such a rough appearance!
Halfway through the chop, Pei Mo wiped his sweat and turned back to look through the window at the sleeping little man on the bed.
The little man's face was pale, and even when he was asleep, his delicate eyebrows were wrinkled.
Somehow, when Pei Mo noticed her eyebrows for the first time, he had the urge to reach out and smooth them out.
Murong Qing was leaning on the hard bed. Hearing this familiar but indifferent voice, he got the strength from nowhere and suddenly stood up to look at the speaker.
After taking a look, Pei Mo put down his hatchet, sat on the tree stump and stood in a daze.
Okay, it doesn't matter, Murong Qing comforted herself, fortunately they are all still alive, and being alive is the biggest surprise.
He came back to his senses and said, "I don't know."
Pei Mo pursed his thin lips and his eyes were dark. He thought of the time when he woke up in the creek. His mind was blank and tingling. It hurt just thinking about it.
The gears of fate are separated and destined to bite again, just like Pei Mo will find Murong Qing again.
"I'll go find some food, you wait here."
Pei Mo suddenly felt ashamed when he thought that there were only a few wild vegetables and sour wild fruits left in the house.
Murong Qing opened her eyes in disbelief, and the pain all over her body disappeared in an instant, making it impossible for her to tell whether what she saw was reality or a dream.
He couldn't remember who he was or why he was injured, and he didn't bother to think about it later.
Is she dead or not?
After finding a place to shelter himself, he slept in the stone house for an unknown amount of time. Later, he woke up from hunger, packed himself up and went out to look for food.
The two of them fell silent, leaving only the birds singing happily on the trees outside the house.
"All right……"
Pei Mo opened his mouth and poured her a glass of water.
Murong Qing was anxious. She got out of bed and wanted to stop Pei Mo, "Don't leave!"
Murong Qing's throat was as dry as fire. Not only that, the belated pain all over her body awakened, and dense soreness overflowed from her bone marrow, stimulating her nerves.
Pei Mo looked at her as if she was very disappointed, and pushed the glass of water forward again, "You drink water first. Are you hungry? I will get you some food later."
Two lines of tears slid down her shaved face, dripped down her chin and formed a shapeless circle on the ground.
That strange feeling came again, and Pei Mo held her pants in her hands, resisting the urge to wipe away the tears on her face.
Just do it, Pei Mo picked up the backpack and simple bow and arrow on the ground, turned around and went out.
But she didn't expect that her legs seemed to have lost feeling. She just stood on the ground as if she had lost her bones. Murong Qing was about to kneel to the ground.
The wind stops, the ink leaves sway, and the heart moves.
Murong Qing was stunned, and then she realized that the general did not call her madam affectionately, but called her "girl" indifferently.
Pei Mo, who chopped firewood and hunted every day, stretched out his big hand, picked up Murong Qing, and then lifted her up horizontally.
Pei Mo didn't know how to answer her, so he just shook his head.
"General?"
The glass of water rippled slightly, shattering the reflection on Murong Qing's face. She did not take the glass of water, raised her eyes and asked with a cry, "The general is still alive, why didn't you come to me, why are you still like this..."
She was speechless for a moment, and tears suddenly filled her eyes.
Pei Mo had an inexplicable feeling that maybe she didn't like being touched with dirty hands.
Murong Qing saw the confusion in his eyes, and suddenly realized something, and asked with trembling lips, "You, do you remember who I am?"
"Yeah - it hurts."
Murong Qing's heart dropped, "Has the general forgotten who he is?"
"Girl, are you awake?"
Pei Mo's eyes moved slightly when he heard this title, and a strange feeling passed through his heart.
She groaned on the bed and tried to turn over with difficulty.
Murong Qing was stunned, what does this mean?
She reached out randomly to wipe away her tears and looked directly at Pei Mo, "General, what's wrong with you?"
Her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, but Murong Qing didn't even have the strength to open her eyes.
The wind blows, and the light and shadow flicker, reflecting on the face.
Pei Mo brought the water to her. Perhaps he couldn't bear to see her pitiful appearance, so he simply lowered his eyes.
She stared at Pei Mo greedily. He had become thinner, darker, and had a scar on the side of his face. His beard seemed to have been left unkempt for a long time, allowing it to grow into a beard on his chin.
"I don't know." Pei Mo was a little nervous, "Have we known each other before?"
Just this soft and almost inaudible groan alerted Pei Mo, who was distracted on the tree stump.
Murong Qing choked, and the last few words were too painful to be uttered.
He didn't know where he was going, so he stumbled upon this stone house. Fortunately, this stone house was abandoned and no one lived in it, and now it became his shelter.
Pei Mo felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart, but he still said, "Girl, I have always been alive. Even if I am not a general, I don't know what you are talking about."
Treat me so indifferently.
Murong Qing heard someone opening the door and wanted to sit up even more. She was full of questions, where was this? Wasn't she bitten by a poisonous snake?
"You drink some water."
For some reason, he lowered his head, looked around at the coarse linen clothes on his body, wiped his sawdust-covered hands on his trousers, and then carefully pushed the door open and entered.
"I'm not a general. The girl may have recognized the wrong person."
Pei Mo stood up, dropped the hatchet and walked quickly to the stone house, but was stunned when he was about to open the wooden door.
This face is still a familiar face, but why are there only alienation, indifference and indifference in those eyes?
Pei Mo watched the girl in front of him stare at him blankly, her eyes red, and she looked like she was about to cry.
"careful!"
Murong Qing's heart felt as if someone had punched her hard, and her throat was so clogged that she couldn't make a sound.
Pei Mo was frightened and subconsciously stretched out his hand to support her body.
"Squeak——"
Murong Qing exclaimed, subconsciously grabbing whatever he could with his hands.
That is Pei Mo's neck.
The two of them looked at each other.
Because of the excitement, Murong Qing's face turned a little pink, and her eyes were still moist, and she bit her lips gently because of fear.
