I dare not

Gu Qiao carefully placed her fingers on the side of his neck, the pulse was normal, so she really fell asleep.

The speed of falling asleep is really too fast.

He supported the boy's back, stared at him for a while, and felt drowsy, and fell asleep leaning on the boy.

Maybe it was too cold at night, when Gu Qiao woke up in the morning, she was curled up into the boy's arms.

The fire was still emitting the last puff of green smoke. Amid the chirping birdsong, Gu Qiao got up from the boy's arms in embarrassment, and found that she was still naked, so she hurriedly jumped up to get the dried clothes.

Fortunately, that young man was a fool, otherwise, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he wouldn't be able to wash away the situation.

After getting dressed, the boy just sat up and rubbed his eyes sleepily, not seeing his embarrassment.

"Let's go." Gu Qiao was serious, without any guilt of sleeping in someone else's arms all night.

Relying on his rich experience of living in the wild with his father, Gu Qiao found a lot of food in the woods.The two shared some fruits, and the boy looked like he was not full yet.

Gu Qiao was helpless, "There has been a famine in Lianzhou for several years, and the edible ones have been dug up and eaten long ago. Let's just fill up our stomachs. When we find the documents, we will have something to eat when we come to Ningcheng."

Without saying a word, the boy broke off a branch from the tree and went to stand by the river.

"You still want to catch fish?" Gu Qiao persuaded, "Forget it, the fish in this river have been caught long ago. Didn't you find that there is no one in this mountain who can eat and run?"

"Shhh!" The boy beckoned him to keep quiet.He made a sudden move and threw the branch in his hand.The thin branch flew straight out like a sword, and after a while, a trace of bright red blood smeared along the river.

"What?" Gu Qiao leaned over to look, and the young man lifted a branch with a snake stuck in it.

The snake was as thick as a child's arm. It was grayish brown with dark yellow spots on it, which was very similar to the color of the river bottom. No wonder Gu Qiao didn't see anything when he looked into the river.The branch passed through the snake's head, and the body was still twisted and coiled around the boy's arm. He swiftly twisted the snake's head off, threw it into the river, and explained to Gu Qiao, "It's poisonous."

Gu Qiao's eyes widened, "How dare you catch it if it's poisonous?"

"The meat is edible." The boy replied while peeling off the snake's skin.

When I was in the capital, I once ate the dragon and phoenix soup in Fushoulou, which is a soup made of snakes and chickens. The soup is very delicious.

Seeing this idiot handling snake meat with his bare hands now, he suddenly felt that the bowl of snake soup he drank many years ago was rolling in his stomach.

The boy washed the processed snake meat in the river, tore off a piece of white meat from it, and handed it to Gu Qiao. Gu Qiao looked at the soft, dripping meat, covered his mouth and shook his head.

The young man walked to the extinguished fire, poked it with a branch for a while, and sparks lit up from the embers again.Some dry branches were added and the fire started again.

He tore off the snake meat and skewered it with twigs and roasted it over the fire.

Gu Qiao stood by the river in a daze for a while, then looked into the river belatedly.When I was swimming in the river yesterday, I didn't even feel that there was a snake in it. How could this idiot catch it so quickly.He picked up the twig that the fool used as a "hunting tool". It was very soft, and it would bend when you swipe it lightly. How did this directly penetrate the snake's head?

Who is he?

When he looked at the fool again, he was already in awe.

And that fool is concentrating on roasting snake meat.

Gu Qiao walked over, "Young man, who are you?"

The fool looked at him inexplicably, and said, "Just wait a moment."

The grilled snake meat still smelled delicious, but Gu Qiao, who had witnessed the whole cooking process, still insisted on not eating it, so it is said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, and only a cook far away can eat.

The young man was very quiet, Gu Qiao asked him a question and he answered, but apart from remembering that "they" locked him up, used needles, and it was very painful, he didn't remember where he used to live or who was in his family.

He couldn't answer anything related to himself, and the two of them were relatively silent all the way.

After walking back along the river for more than half an hour, Gu Qiao saw the place where the old yellow dog died tragically yesterday.

The dog's corpse was gone, and the dog's owner's corpse was still lying alone by the river, slightly swollen.

Gu Qiao stepped forward to look around, and there was only the torn gray cloth bag on the ground.

His paperwork, official uniform, and the manuscript he had written for three months were all gone.

The last hope was shattered, Gu Qiao gave up and said, "Forget it, now we have to take a shortcut. This place is too far from the capital, and it will take more than ten days to communicate with the official department. Let's go to the state capital first."

The idiot boy stared at him blankly, not understanding what he was talking about.

"Let's go," Gu Qiao paused after taking a step, and said back, "By the way, this man's dog saved me, I can't let him die in the wilderness."

The boy nodded and said, "Oh."

"First, we need to dig a big hole."

Hearing this, the young man ran away quickly, only to see him squatting down five feet away, digging out a small hole with a wooden stick.

Gu Qiao laughed and said, "How long will it take to dig this?"

The boy didn't speak, he took out a small black iron pipe from his arms, buried it in a small hole, exposed a length of lead wire, and then took out a torch to light it.

Gu Qiao suddenly realized what he was going to do, and before he could make a sound to stop him, he was thrown to the ground by the rushing young man.

A loud noise shook the forest, and the startled birds covered the sky.

The blown stones and mud covered their heads and faces, and Gu Qiao said angrily, "What are you doing?"

The boy was startled by his yelling, and said aggrievedly, "Dig a big hole."

"You call this digging a hole??"

Gu Qiao lifted the idiot lying on him, stood up and shook off the dirt from one end, and saw that there was indeed a pit not far away, a very big pit.

Suddenly lost his temper, he was in a hurry with a fool, and said in a slow tone: "Before you do something next time, tell me first, okay?"

The boy nodded, "Oh."

But this pit is really too big, I hope the deceased will not mind.
