Ye An

After Ye An and Xiao Yun left, the crowd dispersed one after another. Except for the burned out bonfire and the rotating guards, the camp became quiet, and the bustle of last night was gone.

Kapok arranged for the patrolling staff, yawned and returned to the wooden house, fell down on the bed covered with animal skins, and started snoring after a while.

Bauhinia led people to pack up the leftover bones, sent them out of the camp according to the usual habits, and piled them in a fixed place, and small animals and insects would come to take them away soon.

The gate of the camp opened and closed, and more than a dozen teenagers walked out of the wooden gate carrying wicker baskets and bows, arrows and short knives, greeted the guards on the fence, and went to a small fruit forest behind the camp together.

There are patches of wild strawberries growing there, watermelons growing naturally.

With the arrival of the dry season, watermelons bloom and bear fruit, and grow wildly.Nowadays, the small one is close to the two fists of an adult, and the big one weighs more than twenty or thirty catties, and the flesh of the melon has already turned red.

The teenagers came to the melon field and walked around the perimeter twice, searching for places where the beast might be hiding.Noticing any danger, they dispersed immediately, each locked an area, cut a ripe watermelon from the vine, tapped twice with their fingers, and heard a familiar sound, they couldn't help grinning, their faces full of smiles.

"Choose a big one and go home. Be careful." Fir Shan picked up an oval-shaped watermelon, tested its weight, and put it into the basket carefully, so as not to crack it when touched.

Just as the boy on the opposite side wanted to say don't worry, he suddenly tripped over a vine, staggered, and the watermelon in his hand fell to the ground, breaking into several petals on the spot.

The red flesh, black watermelon seeds, and sweet juice flowed all over the ground, attracting mutated insects hidden in the soil, and hummingbirds passing by from the sky.

"I didn't do it on purpose." The boy scratched his head and lowered his head, feeling very embarrassed about his mistake.

"Forget it." Fir Shan waved her hand, beckoned to several teenagers nearby, picked up the watermelon that was not occupied by hummingbirds and insects, broke it and distributed it to everyone on the spot.

"Eat it, be careful next time, don't be so careless." Leng Shan handed the watermelon to Qingsong, clenched his fist and beat his shoulder, quickly finished his share, and continued to work.

Not long after, the baskets brought by the boy were full.

In the strawberry field on the other side, the girls picked baskets full of fresh strawberries and covered them with palm-sized leaves to keep the fruits fresh and hydrated.

Xiao Wei sat on the bluestone by the field, with her elbows resting on her knees, and her chin resting on her hands.The red squirrel squatted beside her, holding a strawberry in its front paw, and nibbling it quickly.

Since landing on the isolated island, it has become very difficult for the red squirrel to get close to Ye An.There are too many competitors, and most of them can't beat it.Having suffered a few losses, once almost being surrounded by ferrets to squeeze their bald tail, the red squirrel learned from the pain, and no longer forcibly approached Ye An, but settled down in the dense forest, waiting patiently for the opportunity.

Due to an accident when she was young, Xiaowei's abilities cannot be enhanced, and she is not a mutant in the strict sense.But her abilities and aura are quite similar to Ye An's, which makes the squirrel happy to get close to her, as long as Xiaowei appears outside the camp, the squirrel will show up.

Although Xiaowei can't see, it doesn't prevent each other from becoming friends.

Just like the influence of the panda on Xiaozhu Miluo, since she has the red squirrel, her personality has become more cheerful and she likes to go out of the camp more.

Fir Shan, who has been taking care of her all year round, feels the most obvious about Xiaowei's changes.

After careful observation for a period of time, it was determined that this development was very beneficial, and Fir Tree no longer prevented her from contacting squirrels.When Xiaowei asked to leave the camp, as long as the conditions allowed, she would basically agree.

The teenagers carried the rattan baskets on their backs, picked up the baskets together, and prepared to return to the camp.

Xiaowei bid farewell to the squirrel, left all the strawberries in her hand to it, then grabbed Fir Shan's hand, and returned with everyone.

Standing on the bluestone, the squirrel watched Xiaowei go away. The long hair on the tips of its ears swayed twice in the wind. Sensing danger, the squirrel jumped off the stone like lightning and hid in the crevice of the stone.

Almost at the same time, a peregrine falcon descended from the sky, its sharp claws facing where the squirrel had been before.As long as the squirrel moves slowly, it will be caught by the peregrine falcon and brought back to the nest, where it will become the meal of the young peregrine falcon.

The peregrine falcon didn't feel frustrated when it missed the shot, and quickly spread its wings and flew away.

The squirrel waited for a while before sticking out from the crevice of the rock, waving its paws towards the sky twice, and quickly ran to the dense forest, disappearing into the dense tree canopy.

This scene happened to be seen by the mother and son of the cihuamao. The mother cihuamao raised her front paw and patted the little cihuamao twice, which seemed to be educating the children: If you see it, you should not let down your vigilance at any time, or you will encounter danger if you are not careful. !

When Fir Shan and the others returned to the camp, the guards on the fence had changed.

The weather is too hot, even if there is a special way to cool down, no one can stick to the heights for too long, and shifts need to be changed every two or three hours.

The wooden door was lowered, and the teenagers walked quickly into the camp.

The watermelon was too heavy, and the rough rope made their shoulders red when they carried it all the way back.

The rattan baskets and baskets were put down, and people who woke up soon came up to help, took out watermelons from the baskets, and put them into the stream one by one.

"Send a few to the adults."

Kapok walked out of the house, recovering a lot, but was sweating profusely from sleep.Sweat stuck to his body and made him feel uncomfortable. He grabbed a cloth towel and wiped it off, then raised the wooden bucket, poured warm water on his body, shook his head, and roared comfortably.

The teenagers' faces were flushed from the sun, and it was not suitable for them to leave the camp, so they were all driven back to their rooms to rest.

Bauhinia led people to carry rattan baskets, loaded them with watermelons and strawberries, and prepared to go to Yanshan.

The hottest time of the day has passed, but the temperature is still very high, and the wind passing through the isolated island is full of warmth.It is necessary to replenish water after walking a certain distance, otherwise it is very likely to suffer from heat stroke.

Fortunately, everyone has long been accustomed to this climate, especially Zijing and others, who live on the water all year round without a fixed residence, and they will be unsheltered when they go ashore for a short time, and their heat resistance is stronger than others.

Bauhinia wrapped soaked cloth strips around her neck and arms, put on a straw hat woven with grass stems and branches, and walked out of the camp with a rattan basket on her back, and set off for the rocky mountain along the familiar route.

At that time, Ye An was fast asleep with Xiao Yun in his arms.

The crystallized snapping tortoise shell is like an energy field. Being in it, the energy of the spar washes through the body over and over again, and the fatigue is swept away.

Ye An suddenly frowned, and walked into the familiar scene once again in his sleep.

Magnificent city, dilapidated buildings, damaged streets.

The dense fog that blocked the sight gradually dissipated, and a tall man stood in front of the city, holding a seven or eight-year-old boy in his hand. Even though he was still young, his back was straight, and the long knife on his back was almost like on his height.

This scene was too familiar, and Ye An could determine the boy's identity without confirmation.

In the dream, he took a step forward, trying to keep up with the two people walking forward.

Not waiting for the distance between the two sides to get closer, the man suddenly disappeared. The boy stopped, turned around, and slowly raised his head, his transparent eyes were facing Ye An.

Seeing the figure reflected in the opponent's eyes, Ye An couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.

The boy suddenly stretched out his hand and looked at Ye An quietly.

Driven by an unknown force, Ye An held the boy's hand, and the touch of his fingers was extremely real.In front of his eyes, the boy began to grow, his figure continued to grow taller, and his facial features gradually matured, which completely coincided with the face in his mind.

The dense fog rose again, enveloping the two of them with a coldness.

Ye An suddenly opened his eyes, looked sideways, and found that Xiao Yun was looking at him quietly with his head propped on one hand, just like in the dream.

"I……"

Just as Xiao Yun was about to speak, Ye An suddenly pinched his chin, and his lips were blocked with such force that it almost seemed like he was biting.

The next moment, Xiao Yun's back touched the plastron of the snapping turtle, Ye An turned over, pressed his shoulder with one hand, locked his eyes with his eyes, turned his head, and whispered in his ear: "Guess what I want now?" do what?"

Xiao Yun was silent for a moment, raised his hand to grab the back of Ye An's neck, pressed down hard, and responded directly with actions.
