Wilderness Age

"Aren't you going to ask him about the double memory, aren't you curious?"

Mu Ling sat on the treetop next to him, condescending, without showing his figure, and questioned him in Chu Xingzhou's mind through the link of consciousness.

The latter also responded coldly in his mind: "It's nothing, at most it means that his lifeline has gone through a strange rewind, and he has an extra chance to start over more than others, but this hasn't changed him, and it hasn't changed me either. .”

The wooden spirit was curious: "Do you really think so?"

Chu Xingzhou: "What do you think?"

Mu Ling's voice was innocent, but what he said was quite real: "I don't know what you humans think, but the people I met before were very concerned about this. Concealment, deception, betrayal, etc., can make them tear their heads apart. Bleeding."

Chu Xingzhou glanced at Lu Tuanzi. Of course, it was impossible for him not to mind Yu Ze's experience, but this concern was based on his care and worry for Yu Ze, not the messy things that Mu Ling imagined.

But there is no need to explain these to the wood spirit.

His hands didn't stop, and he rubbed evenly under Yu Ze's ears and back of his neck. The insect repellent liquid had a pungent smell at first, but it was acceptable after it was applied, and there was a faint scent of grass and trees.In fact, when Yu Ze first came back, Chu Xingzhou sensed that he had something on his mind, even Yu Ze himself didn't bother to hide it.Now it can be regarded as solving a mystery by mistake, but...if Aze finds out that he has peeked at his memory, will he be angry?

Chu Xingzhou felt a little guilty.

Yu Ze felt his ears itch, but he didn't dare to hide, and forced himself not to move. The moment of applying the medicine seemed to be infinitely prolonged, and he didn't realize that his limbs were stiff until the end.He secretly moved his fingers and relieved the tension—it was obviously just a medicine, and he didn't know why he was nervous.

While complaining about himself, he couldn't help but secretly glanced at Chu Xingzhou from the corner of his eye. He was inspecting the periphery of several tents. His companions were already asleep, and only the two of them were awake in the camp. A fire was lit by the dry leaves, and Chu Xingzhou's figure was hazy in the warm light.

Yu Ze's hand unconsciously touched the back of the ear, where there was still a warm touch, as warm as fire.He couldn't help but think of that kiss at dawn that day, his heart was beating vigorously, ups and downs, like a small boat that couldn't carry too much joy.

The image in his mind burned his cheeks a little, but fortunately the night covered up the embarrassment.

When Chu Xingzhou sat back beside Yu Ze, both of them calmed down their untimely emotions and pretended to be calm.

"Are you going to sleep for a while?" Chu Xingzhou asked.

"No." Yu Ze shook his head.

"Then rely on rest?" Chu Xingzhou patted himself on the shoulder.

It was completely dark, and the woods were extremely quiet, and the voices of the two people also lowered down.

Yu Ze leaned over.

In fact, he is not tired, but he likes the atmosphere, and it is really comfortable to lean against, the whole person relaxes.

Talking like this, he fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up again, it was still midnight, and I heard the sound of dry branches cracking in my ears,

"How long have I been asleep?" Yu Ze muttered vaguely, rubbing his eyes.

"One or two hours." Chu Xingzhou responded softly.

Yu Ze maintained the posture of leaning on Chu Xingzhou's shoulder, lazily unwilling to move.

"I just dreamed about when we were in school."

"Huh? What did you dream about?"

"I dreamed that we were going to eat bean curd."

"Ah, is it the Douhua shop on Shiyi Street?"

"Well, that's the one. Every time you ask the clerk to add an extra spoonful of sugar water."

"So did I do the same in your dream?"

"Yes, the clerk saw that it was you and added two spoonfuls of sugar."

Chu Xingzhou smiled and rolled his eyes: "The treatment is really good."

Although life has changed, the people around me have not.

The sky before dawn shone with a sapphire blue color. After more than a month of catastrophe, looking up from the earth, the stars were more clearly visible than before, and the endless sky was like a velvet curtain sprinkled with broken diamonds.

Compared with the starry sky in the city, which was always filled with lights, it seems that the foggy glass has been polished all of a sudden.

"It's like opening a website membership and jumping from SD to Blu-ray super definition." Chu Xingzhou said.

Yu Ze was amused.

Ordinary life is really too far away.

"I want to confess something to you."

Chu Xingzhou rubbed his nose, feeling embarrassed to tell the story of Mu Ling's prank. He didn't expect that he would say it so easily. Maybe it was because he mentioned the things in college, and the atmosphere was too relaxed. , that's all.

Yu Ze listened to him in a daze, then suddenly smiled and let out a sigh of relief.

How should I put it, this is really... great!

The problem that troubled him was solved unexpectedly.

"okay, got it."

"Well, that's it?" Chu Xingzhou asked after hearing the cloudless wind, "Should I take the wood spirit out to punish it for spying on privacy, and cut it into strips and cut it into eight sections to give you an apology?" Apologize?"

"Okay, you can figure it out." Yu Ze's voice was full of joy.

After the onlookers listened, the wood spirits were so angry that their bodies swelled up.

Before dawn, Wu Wei was the first to get out of the tent, stretching his legs and feet to complete a set of morning exercises.

The fire had already been extinguished, and the sky was still dark. As soon as Wu Wei came over, he saw two figures sticking together. He sat down on the opposite side without paying attention, and said to himself even if no one asked: "I slept so well, I didn't even see a mosquito leg all night."

Sure enough, no one cared whether he was bitten by a wild mosquito or not, and there was no one to talk to him. He picked up a branch and poked the burnt fire on the ground, and the only remaining embers were cold in the morning wind. Thoroughly.

"Hey, do you two want to go to sleep? You have been guarding all night, before they get up, take the time to rest."

"No, I just chatted with Aze, winter is coming soon, and the situation may be more severe in the future, we have to hurry back to the capital as soon as possible, and wake up Xiao Nineteen when the sun comes out."

They chatted a lot that night. Yu Ze mentioned the change of climate and the normalization of natural disasters. Chu Xingzhou also saw the worse environment in the later period from his memories. They agreed that the sooner they return to Beijing, the more hopeful they will find Chu Xingzhou's family.

Although Wu Wei did not know the inside story, he logically agreed with this judgment.

Xiao Nineteen was still a child. He was growing up at this age. Several people thoughtfully let him sleep until dawn, and then began to quickly collect supplies and prepare to go on the road.

Suo Tianyou was still ready to go with them, and the destination of the three was tentatively set at the hometown of the two girls, but after seeing hundreds of deaths, they didn't dare to expect to find their parents and relatives.As for Suo Tianyou himself, when he was asked, he laughed at himself: "I have fallen out with my family a long time ago." Apart from that, he didn't say anything more.

Chu Xingzhou: "Let's go."

Xiao Nineteen whistled, the goldfish Xiaohong swam back from a distance wagging his tail, and the ant Xiaohei appeared from nowhere, obediently following behind him.

The leader, Chu Xingzhou, was forced to stop after taking a few steps.

A green swollen light group appeared in front of everyone.

The wood spirit said in a vicious voice, "You can't go!"

Chu Xingzhou frowned: "Why?"

Wood Spirit: "You have to take me with you."

Chu Xingzhou: "..."

Mu Ling: "What do you mean, talk?"

Chu Xingzhou: "What do I need you for?"

Mu Ling: "Why am I useless?"

Chu Xingzhou: "Can we have some meaningful dialogue?"

Wood Spirit: "Take me away."

Chu Xingzhou: "Why?"

The wood spirit rarely felt a little shy: "It looks very interesting outside, I want to go and see."

Chu Xingzhou: "Then you can go by yourself, there is no need to follow us." The wood spirit is strong and has a bad temper. Chu Xingzhou doesn't think it is a good thing for him to be by his side. It is best to get rid of it after leaving the willow forest.

Mu Ling could somewhat sense Chu Xingzhou's thoughts, and said aggrievedly, "I can't walk by myself."

Chu Xingzhou: "Why?"

The wood spirit said, "Have you ever seen a tree that can walk?"

Chu Xingzhou snapped back: "I've never seen a talking tree before."

Wood spirits are born in lush vegetation and have the characteristics of trees, but they are more like spirits in myths and legends. For such unknown creatures, in principle, a cautious social distance should be maintained.

At this time, the wood spirit put on a vicious face: "...I don't care, anyway, you take me with you, or you don't want to leave!"
