the one who lives in my body

The rope in the backpack is special for survival, light and easy to carry. The senior leader tried his best to make sure that there should be no serious problems. As the leader, he took the lead in climbing up.

The process went smoothly. They deliberately chose a road with more footholds. Although their footsteps were slightly slippery, fortunately they finally came up without incident.

When the first senior stood in front of me safe and sound, I found that his hands were trembling slightly, his palms were left with traces of blood due to rubbing hard, and the muscles that had not been used so frequently for a long time seemed to be a little uncomfortable. Not enough to support the arms fully raised.

But the expression on the face of the senior is joyful, like a traveler lost in the desert who suddenly sees water, he looks at the road in the distance, I dare say, if he is not rational, he will run, jump and shout regardless.

After all, these days, they have been looked at from start to finish by a group of alien creatures like watching animals.

Their situation is much worse than mine.

I stepped forward and patted the shoulders of the seniors. Maybe I can't truly empathize with them, but I will do my best to help them.

One after another, the rest of the seniors also climbed up from the bottom of the pit with ropes. After counting the number of people and confirming that no one was left behind, I opened the backpack and prepared to roughly divide the supplies. It was at this time that I realized that my entire palm was almost They were all covered in blood.

The visual impact made me feel the pain for a long time, I shook my paw uncomfortably, and was about to continue the next action, but I heard a senior hiss and said: "Someone is coming."

Indeed, in the distance of the empty street, there was a faint sound of hurried footsteps, and we quickly retreated to the other side of the huge pit to hide.

After reaching the front of the giant pit, the sound of footsteps stopped. We couldn't help but hold our breath, and we couldn't help but breathe lightly. No one knows whether the visitors will find that the human beings in the pit have disappeared. If they are found at this time, Our escape plan fell short.

I couldn't help poking my head out a little and looking out. After finding out that it was a small stone, I breathed a sigh of relief.

He obviously also saw the scene in the pit, and stood there blankly, staring at the bottom of the pit for a long, long time, and then showed a kind of extremely sad, pitiful expression like a pet dog abandoned by its owner.

I couldn't bear it, I was about to step forward, but was held back by a senior, "What are you doing?" He almost said these words with his eyes.

"This kid is fine. He helped me so I could let you out." I said in a low voice.

For a while, the air was a little stagnant. In this empty and quiet atmosphere, even the sound of breath was particularly piercing. On the other side, Xiao Shizi'er obviously noticed the noise here, and walked over.

At this moment, even if the senior stopped me, I still stood up and walked out, trotted two steps, and stood in front of Xiaoshizi.

When he saw me, Xiao Shizi's expression obviously froze for a moment, and then he laughed after experiencing sadness, joy and sullenness.

I took him to meet my seniors.

The seniors looked at each other in blank dismay, evidently having doubts about this little Amut of unknown origin.

But it is obviously not suitable to quarrel at this moment, we decided to go on the road first, and we will talk about it in a place where it is convenient for communication.

Walking halfway, Xiao Shizier understood that we wanted to go out through a brief exchange of pictures, and he acted as a guide very naturally and willingly.

At the beginning, the seniors still had doubts, but then they figured it out. After all, it is better to follow this guide than to circle around in the territory of the Amut people. I also explored the way before, and the direction led by Xiao Shizier That's right, although I have memorized the road here, after all, he is an acquaintance here, and the probability of making mistakes is much smaller.

After walking for about an hour, Xiao Shizier finally stopped.

The front is no longer a regular jungle exclusive to the Amute group. The road is rugged and small, and it looks a little intrusive in the night.

Xiao Shizier is unwilling to go forward again, I know that this may be the limit he can send us.

The seniors obviously wanted to leave, they turned their heads and waited for me with worried faces.

And I have to say goodbye to Xiao Shizier.

Walking up to Xiao Shizier, I raised my hand, rubbed his head, and told him in human language, "Thank you."

I don’t know if Xiao Shizier understood what I said, but he just stared at me with his big eyes, I was waiting for his answer, after he made a sound, the next second, I would turn around and follow my predecessors leave together.

But Xiao Shizi'er's expression was blank, he raised his hand and held me slightly, maybe subconsciously he had realized that I would leave soon.

I waited for him to speak, and if he responded with a single syllable, I could take that as my farewell, pat him on the shoulder, and turn away.

However, Xiao Shizier did not speak.

I heard the shouts from the seniors behind me, their tone seemed to be very urgent and mixed with panic.

Confused, I raised my head.

In the direction we came from, among the dense and regular jungle, I saw a cluster of black shadows constantly moving forward.

Like a ghost in the night.

I didn't even see how he flashed up to me. He picked up a small stone with one hand, and lifted me up with the other hand as if picking something from the ground. In the end, just like countless times before This time, I sat on his arm, which is the position he used to take me out every time.

It is a rock.

It's hard to imagine how quickly he got here before we left.

I stared at his side face, I saw his frowning eyebrows, and for the first time felt that his appearance was so resolute, he was no longer as stupid and honest as I used to remember, but turned into a curly head. A vigorous beast that wants to plunder its prey.

Perhaps it was because the rock was too imposing, not far ahead, the seniors stared at this side, and did not make any movements for a while.

Everyone in the studio is just a group of scholars with little fighting ability. I have no doubt that if Pan Shi loses his temper, he can tear them all to pieces in an instant.

As if frozen in place, the rock did not move. He held a small stone in one hand and hugged me tightly with the other, as if standing like a stone statue.

I tried to struggle, and I whispered in his ear, but he kept silent, just maintained his original posture, and didn't even give me a corner of his eye.

He was angry.

I suddenly felt short of breath, I should have thought about it, and he wouldn't let me go.

"Let's go." My voice was choked with sobs, "Pan Shi let you go, I will find a way."

"What did you say? Do you want to stay here?" The senior who had a good relationship with me on weekdays was obviously a little unbelievable, "No, this counts..."

"Senior, if we disturb other Amut people, we will not be able to leave." Calmly, I expounded this fact.

For a moment, the air fell into silence.

I thought, why am I so obedient?I can obviously resist, I can obviously fight to leave with the seniors.

Perhaps subconsciously, I think this is the safest thing to do.

I can't bear the risk of the conflict between Pan Shi and the seniors. Although Pan Shi barely expressed anything, I know what he means very well—it's okay to let them go, but you have to stay.

This is a sure-fire deal.

There was a stalemate for about 10 minutes, and finally, the seniors gave up.

Putting the spare contact optical brain far away on the ground, they stayed behind and said to take care, and after leaving a sentence: "I will come to rescue you", they turned and left.

Until I watched them to a place where I could no longer see them, the rock finally moved.

He threw the pebble back to the ground, and before walking back, he picked up the optical brain left by my predecessors and gently handed it to me.

In a daze, I caught it.

When Panshi turned and walked towards the city of the Amut, I thought, I want to beat his body to express my resentment and... powerlessness.

But in the end I didn't do that.

I found myself unable to blame Rock.

He didn't walk fast, Xiaoshizi followed him tremblingly from a distance, not daring to get too close.

And I felt like I was sitting on the shoulders of a slow-moving giant.

Looking up, through layers of branches and leaves, I saw the stars in the sky.

Why do I suddenly think of Xie Dongrong at this moment?I don't understand it myself.

That kind of inexplicable longing invaded my mind like this, although I am absolutely sure that even if he suddenly falls from the sky to save me from the fire and water, I will not go back to him without hesitation.

After returning to the city of the Amut, many things happened again.

This time I was christened on the highest terrace of the palace, in the presence of all the noble Ammuts.

Although it wasn't as deep as last time, I wasn't forced to take off all my clothes.

But sure enough, it was still uncomfortable to be stared at by so many pairs of non-human eyes.

After that, Pan Shi hugged me like a newborn baby, and put me on a soft seat.

I think I might be treated like a kind of mascot by these Amut people.

If it weren't for my mental endurance, I think I would have been dealt with some kind of mental illness.

Also, for some reason, the higher-ups seem to believe that it was Panshi who let the seniors go without authorization.

They thought it was a heinous crime, but considering Pan Shi's identity, they finally chose to execute him in a secret room as punishment.

I didn't see the process. I just remember that when Pan Shi returned to his home that day, there was not a single piece of intact meat on his back.

Even though the Amut people's resilience is amazing, the blood has been soaking out, staining the sheets red, again and again, layer after layer.

However, Pan Shi never showed even the slightest bit of dissatisfaction in front of me. He just looked at me and stared at me, as if at that moment, he wanted to engrave me in his mind just like that.

It's as if it's all on his own will.

At a certain moment, looking at such a rock, a feeling of guilt would suddenly arise in my heart, but then, other more complicated emotions would dilute it, making my heart full of mixed feelings, and I didn't know how to face it.

I think I blame him for keeping me here by force.

But I couldn't bring myself to hate him.
