Deer in deep forest

Chapter 22 Long Trek
If you miss someone so much, and this person happens to appear in front of you, do you feel blessed by God at this moment, happiness comes too suddenly, you are grateful, in order to live up to God’s kindness, you rush forward, Hugging that person hard?

It's a pity that when Guang saw Gu Yanshu, he closed his eyes, hugged himself tightly, and shook like chaff.

When she was in junior high school, she read Qu Yuan and taught herself "Nine Songs Mountain Ghost". Chirping, chirping, chirping at night. The wind is rustling, the wood is rustling, thinking of the young master, leaving you alone."

I think this mountain ghost should be a sentimental and beautiful ghost.

Wang Ying also confessed a long time ago that she could not enter the mountain after midnight, otherwise she would offend the mountain god.Now she is not only offending, but also directly provoked him.Transformed into the appearance of the person she likes, seducing her.

It's all because she kept chanting Gu Yanshu's name, and was spying on her mind by the mountain god.

"Lu Xiguang, Lu Xiguang..."

Gu Yanshu's voice was full of urgency, thinking that Xi Guang's appearance was due to injury.

Xiguang's heart trembled, and the trembling became even stronger, and she didn't want to raise her head, thinking it was a dream.I thought that the mountain god is really powerful, I am afraid that after many years of cultivation, even Yanshu's voice can be imitated so similarly, there is even a hint of tenderness in his words.

If he does this again, he can't hold it anymore.

Seeing that Xiguang's reaction was not normal, Gu Yanshu felt uneasy, turned on the flashlight in his hand, took off her shoes and socks forcibly, and checked from the ankle to see if there were any signs of snake or insect bites.

There are many poisonous substances in the mountainous area, Gu Yanshu was worried all the way to find them, even if he saw someone at this moment, he was always uneasy.

Even the trouser legs were rolled up layer by layer, Xi Guang hurriedly shrank her feet back, it was terrible, the mountain god had really taken a fancy to her, and was about to play a hooligan.

A hand immediately grabbed her calf, preventing her from moving.The palms that were moist and warm due to a little sweat were against Xi Guang's cold skin, without gaps.She immediately felt very clearly that the old scar on his palm lay there abruptly, like a mark.

Rubbing, the light and itchy roughness easily pricked her.

That is a mark that no mountain god who has practiced for thousands of years will have, and it is exclusive to their memories.

"Yanshu—"

Xi Guang rushed forward, Gu Yanshu was squatting half-squatting, concentrating on checking her wounds, when he was a little careless, he was easily thrown to the ground and embraced her.With his back resting on a dead branch, he couldn't help but groaned.

The girl in his arms was only clutching the clothes in front of his chest, murmuring in a low voice, as if in disbelief, "Yanshu, it's really you."

"Lu Xiguang, you just now know it's me?" Gu Yanshu almost gritted his teeth, and raised his hand hanging by his side, wanting to slap her on the head hard to make her remember better, but he didn't know what to say. Naturally, the strength eased, and I had to gently rub her hair.

"Yanshu, Yanshu, Yanshu, Yanshu..." Xiguang murmured.

Gu Yanshu said: "I am not deaf, I can hear."

Xi Guang hid in his arms and smiled, so happy, as if all the haze of the past had never existed, and she and him had never experienced separation or harm.

How much she imagined embracing him unscrupulously like now, without scruples, without hesitation, like the sea embracing the beach, like blue fields embracing white clouds, like morning fog embracing dew, like rivers embracing mountains.Without the slightest restraint, I miss you so much and you are right in front of my eyes.

"Get up quickly." There was forbearance in Gu Yanshu's voice.

Taking advantage of the dark moon and high winds, in the wilderness, the weather is right and the location is right, Xi Guang dared to play a rogue, but he couldn't get up, and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not heavy."

Gu Yanshu said: "You are not heavy, but the branch behind me may be broken." In fact, it was his waist, which was pinched by dead branches and was about to break.

The mountainous area of ​​the Liao Family Group is on the border of Province Y, and after climbing over the mountain, it is the adjacent Province Z.Gu Yanshu figured out the general direction, took the time to rush on the road with pity, and found a place to stop and rest at night.

In the leeward place, the fallen leaves were swept and gathered in a pile, and the lights were lit to keep warm.Gu Yanshu carried small tools such as a lighter and a dagger on his body, which came in handy sometimes, but the power of the flashlight and mobile phone had run out.He was too hasty when he came here, and he didn't expect Xi Guang and the others to have been discovered.

The leaves made a crackling sound as they burned, and the flames jumped up and reflected in the pupils.Xiguang leaned against Gu Yanshu and snuggled up in front of the fire, her consciousness was a little far away, she couldn't distinguish how many days and nights had passed.

They had no food to replenish their physical strength, and they only encountered wild fruit trees occasionally, and the things they picked were temporarily enough to satisfy their hunger, which was not enough to satisfy their hunger.Slowly exhausted, the whole person is deeply tired.Gu Yanshu went from supporting her to walking with her on his back, and she had inevitably become his burden.

"Yanshu..."

"Ah."

"Will I die in this deep mountain and old forest, die young, and sacrifice my life for the country?"

The whimpering wind whizzed past, Xi Guang felt a little desolate and tragic, Gu Yanshu interrupted her coldly, "You have a good idea."

She thought it was pretty.Xi Guang rubbed his nose and laughed, put the schoolbag on his lap, and checked the contents inside.The voice recorder and mirrorless camera are still there with no signs of damage.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Gu Yanshu: "You keep this for me first, and you must remember to hand it over to Teacher Qiu Shan when you return to school. I don't know how she and Zheng Mingming are now..."

Gu Yanshu took it, put it at his feet, and said calmly: "I don't care what your plans are, but as long as you stay ten steps away from me, I will smash them all."

"you……"

As soon as Xi Guang heard it, his hair exploded, he stretched his teeth and claws, and was easily carried by his arm. The next second, he fell into a cool embrace.When the shoulders felt warm, he lowered his head, brought his face closer, and gently rubbed against her skin.

Xiguang was stunned. During the six years in Gu's family, she quietly did this action countless times, hoping to bring strength to Yanshu and hope that he would get well soon.

Now that she was hugged back, her face was flushed and she was at a loss, like a fool.

Actively molesting Gu Yanshu and being molested by Gu Yanshu are completely different things.

Her blood was boiling, she didn't dare to move, she even breathed lightly, for fear of disturbing the person in front of her.She heard his cold voice, like a snow falling in early spring, falling on her ears, "You will not die, I will definitely take you out. Lu Xiguang, you believe me. "

Later on, Xi Photovoltaic was on Gu Yanshu's back, not daring to close his eyes.

She insisted on talking to him so as to divert her attention a little, and with a smile on her face, she asked him, "Yanshu, how did you find me?"

Gu Yanshu said: "Train real-name system, it is not difficult to find out which province you went to. Among the people with you is Qiu Shan. She is quite famous in E University. She is a teacher with personality. She used to take students out for unannounced visits. In addition, the project she submitted a few days ago is related to the moon bear, and with a little contact, I can guess that you are going to the Liao family group."

He spoke slowly, as if deliberately trying to accommodate Xi Guang so that she could hear him clearly, but he kept walking.

"It was only when we arrived at the Liao Family Group and heard the commotion from the villagers that we realized that something had happened to you. I watched you run into the mountains."

Xi Guang followed his words and said, "So you also ran in."

She was a little complacent, and she wanted to hear some sweet words, so she deliberately asked with a shy face: "How long have you been looking for me in the woods? When you couldn't find me, did you ever think about it, forget it, let Lu Xiguang Fend for itself."

Gu Yanshu turned his head, gave her a sideways glance, and said, "You guessed pretty well."

Xiguang's arrogance was immediately extinguished, her spirits became depressed, and she drooped her head, "Why don't you say it so directly... You don't have to be tactful."

Seeing her listless look, Gu Yanshu just wanted to comfort her, but gave up.This girl can't be too indulgent, if you don't pay attention, she will climb on your head.

He did look for her for a long time.From sunset to moonrise, from dusk to late night, I ran aimlessly for five or six hours without thinking of giving up, guessing that she might have gone out after getting rid of the villagers, and maybe she wasn't in the forest at all. .

But every time when he was about to give up and turned around and walked back, he felt that if there was still a ten-thousandth chance that she was trapped alone in the barren mountain, how could he give up.

Just like she had been away for six years, no matter how resentful she was, she couldn't let it go, and tried every means to find her.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't forget her.

"Yanshu, I have auditory hallucinations in my ears, as if I heard someone chopping firewood..." Xiguang murmured while lying on Gu Yanshu's shoulder before fainting.

Again and again, the sound of the ax chopping into the tree trunk was beating in her mind, playing back like a tape.

Xiguang seemed to have slept for a long time, and woke up hungry, hearing the torrential rain washing away the forest.

She turned over and found that there was another person on the bed.Gu Yanshu frowned and slept next to her, his eyes were gray and his face was sickly white.

The memory in her mind slowly came back, she remembered the long journey of the past few days, to touch Gu Yanshu's forehead and face.

"He's fine now, but he's exhausted and needs to sleep for a few days." An old woman with gray hair stood at the door, peeling green beans in her hand, and said to Xi Guang.

The old woman asked Xiguang to call her Aqing directly, instead of honorific title, she said that in her whole life, people would call her that, regardless of age.Ah Qing is 66 this year, and he is still in good spirits. He lives alone in the mountains, keeping a group of bees and a black cat as companions.Besides, Xi Guang didn't know if Ah Qing had any children or relatives.

Ah Qing was chopping firewood on the mountain, and when he met Gu Yanshu, Xiguang had passed out on his back and was unconscious.

"You slept for a day and a half," Ah Qing pointed at Gu Yanshu, "he probably won't recover until a few days later. He had a high fever last night. I fed him herbs. After a night, he just receded. .”

Xi Guang thanked her, and a "meow" came, and a black cat squatted on the threshold, wagging its tail at her.But one of its eyes is blind.

"I haven't seen guests at home for a long time, old man, and I seem to like you very much..." Aqing held a handful of green beans in his hand, and said to Xiguang: "There is porridge in the kitchen, it's still warm, you can finish it yourself first, then eat it again." Feed the person in the bed, and don't let him sleep on an empty stomach."

Xi Guang remembered it.

Ah Qing's house was built in the mountains, surrounded by white elm trees on three sides, but with a wide view in front of the door, there is a misty cloud and mist in the distance.

The one-story wooden house gives people an old but solid feeling.The floor area does not look large, but it is spacious inside, and each room is complete.But only one guest room was available, and Ah Qing thought that Xiguang and Yanshu were a young couple, so he arranged them together naturally.

In the tribe where Ah Qing was born, most of the children of their age were already married.

Xi Guang couldn't explain it clearly, so he simply acquiesced, sat on the bedside with porridge, and fed Gu Yanshu bit by bit.The black cat jumped onto the old-fashioned wardrobe with paint peeling off, watched her movements with one eye, occasionally let out a drawn-out meow once or twice, seemed bored again, and jumped over the window and ran away.

Xiguang's dirty schoolbag was hanging on the wall next to the window, and there was still a charge left on the smartphone inside.She looked through the photos again, it was a different bear house, the same iron cage and iron vest, a bear that had been gutted alive.There are a few coincidences, when the moon bear's eyes were facing the camera, there seemed to be tears in it.

Gu Yanshu pulled the quilt and moved a bit, sleeping unsteadily, muttering something vaguely, Xi Guang moved over with the micro camera in his hand, but couldn't hear clearly.

The sound of rain outside the house was too loud, resounding through the mountains and forests, and the world was quiet and noisy.Xi Guang stuck to Gu Yanshu's pillow, poked his hand in from the edge of the quilt, and touched the scar on his right palm.He was trapped in a nightmare, ignorant, and let her fingers intertwine and slowly intertwine.

"Yanshu, I don't really like this world. Some people release life, but more people are killing. Some people worship Buddha, but more people are plundering. When I saw those black bears, I felt guilty. So many bad things happened, so much hopelessness..."

Xi Guang paused, pious in his heart, "But I'm still glad to meet you in this world."

Gu Yanshu opened his eyes, his voice was hoarse, and asked her: "What did you just say?"

Xi Guang was stunned, and asked back in a panic: "You... When did you wake up?"

"When you finished speaking." Gu Yanshu's lips were pale, which contrasted with his pair of obsidian pupils, staring at Xi Guang, giving her a silent sense of oppression.

Xi Guang hurriedly stood up, there was a movement in his hand, only to find that the fingers of the two were still clasped together.She was caught straight, and let go in a panic, "I'll get you some water."
