flapping wings

Mu Xiaoque listened to another sudden howl with a livid face, and just as they got up to continue running for their lives, he suddenly said: "It took longer for them to find us this time."

Then he swept Qi Ping, who was covered in wolf blood, and Xiao Bao, who was also in a mess, and raised his sleeves to sniff at the tip of his nose. The sweet smell was still there, but it might have faded a lot due to being soaked in sweat. .

Then he grabbed Qi Ping's half of the sleeve stained with wolf blood and put it on the tip of his nose. Except for the smell of blood, the scent had disappeared, "It might be the wolves attracted by that scent."

"What should I do?" Xiao Bao wiped the blood on his face with a bewildered expression.

"Catch the wolf," Mu Xiaoque said, "Looks like the wolf's blood can cover up the fragrance."

Several people came back soaked in wolf blood, Mu Xiaoque pressed the handkerchief under a piece of earth and rock, and then hid in the tree.

I saw a few wolves running from a distance, sniffing under the tree, arching the veil, and then looked around blankly, as if they didn't understand why they didn't see their prey even though there was a smell here.

Several people looked at each other and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

After the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, the howl of wolves came again. Qi Ping immediately straightened his back, touched the hilt of his sword to observe the movement under the tree, but saw the wolves looking up with their ears up. Turn around and run towards the jungle.

The mist was still thick, and several people had a lot of color on their bodies, and they yawned big, and Qi Ping fell asleep while lying on the tree branch.

........................

When he opened his eyes again, he saw that he was running happily on the street. He stopped suddenly, rubbed the space between his brows, and said to himself in confusion, "Why am I running?"

"Go buy wine," Qi Ping's mind flashed, he clapped his hands, and began to blame himself: "Brother Mu, how can you forget when you come home from hunting today? Stupid! Stupid, forget it!"

After finishing speaking, Qi Ping froze on the spot again, and asked the air: "Who is Brother Mu?"

Someone in the air seemed to say to him: "Brother Mu is your husband, you love him very much, you love him very much, you love him very much, you can even die for him!"

"Yes!" A big smile broke out on Qi Ping's face, and he kept repeating: "I love him, I love Brother Mu, I love him, I love Brother Mu, I can die for him, I can, I Love him very much."

Entering the only tavern in the small town, Qi Ping took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and put it on the counter: "Boss, make a pot of wine."

Looking back at the roast chickens on other tables, he thought for a moment, then put his hand into his arms again, and counted out a dozen copper coins: "One more roast chicken."

"Xiaoer going home today?" The shopkeeper took the copper coins and smiled: "If you were yourself, you wouldn't be willing to buy roast chicken! Speaking of which, Xiaoer has been in the mountains for a long time."

"I went with the elder brother of the Zhou family, and they said they found a fat place," Qi Ping sighed, with obvious worry on his face.

The two dark circles under his eyes made him look even more haggard. It looked like he hadn't slept peacefully for several days. "I'll try to let him go to a safer place in the future."

"Xiao Er is very strong, don't worry," the shopkeeper wrapped up the roast chicken, and carefully handed the wine in his hand to Qi Ping, "I specially ordered more to catch the wind for our Xiao Er."

After cooking the dinner and warming it in the pot, Qi Ping sat at the door of an earthen house and looked into the distance. However, until night fell, the food in the pot was completely cold, and there was no sign of Mu Xiaoer.

"Can't you come back today?" Qi Ping hid the disappointment and worry in his eyes, took a few sips of cold porridge and went back to his room to rest, but he couldn't fall asleep while lying on the bed, his mind was full of messy things. good guess.

In the middle of the night, half asleep and half awake, Qi Ping suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, he got up from the bed, looked over by the moonlight, it was not Mu Xiaoer, whoever it was!

He jumped off the bed barefoot and threw himself into Mu Xiaoer's arms: "Why did you come back so late?"

"This time I caught a lot of prey and came back, and I even caught a few birds to relieve your boredom." Mu Xiaoer picked up Qi Ping and hung it on his body: "I'll take you to have a look."

"Are you hungry?" Qi Ping touched Mu Xiaoque's unshaven face, and felt that the other party should have lost a lot of weight in the past few days, and the bones on his face were a little cramped.

He said distressedly: "I'll go and warm up your meal first, and there's no rush to read these."

"Not hungry, you haven't finished eating the steamed buns you made yet," Mu Xiaoer patted Qi Ping, held him up and sat on his shoulders, and walked out of the house. He asked, "How is it?"

Qi Ping lowered his head and kissed on top of Mu Xiaoer's head, then rubbed against Mu Xiaoer's head, and said with a teasing smile, "You will always be the most powerful in my heart."

After eating and packing up the prey in the yard, the two of them huddled together in a small steaming tub.

With a flushed face, Qi Ping lay on Mu Xiaoer's shoulder, touched the scars all over his body, and said in a hoarse voice: "The food for the winter has been stored, let's not go into the mountains again this year, okay?"

"You are short of new clothes for the New Year." Mu Xiaoer hugged Qi Ping's arm tightly: "Follow me, I will make you suffer."

"I'm not bitter," Qi Ping wrapped his arms around Mu Xiaoer's neck, "If you let me live with you, I will feel very happy. I don't need new clothes, as long as I can eat enough and wear warm clothes."

In the end, Mu Xiaoer couldn't bear Qi Ping's begging, and decided not to go into the mountains this year. Although they are two big men, their life is not as rough as that of a man and a woman.

Pick up some firewood during the day, hunt some wild rabbits to sell a few copperplates in the town, or exchange some food, and at night, lie under the quilt and talk to each other and talk privately.

Although life is poor, it doesn't feel too bitter.

One day, Qi Ping returned home with wine in his hand, and just as he stepped into the gate, he was stopped by something next to him.

He jumped back in fright, turned his head to look steadily, only to see a white skeleton standing by the door, with a ghostly will-o'-the-wisp in each empty eye socket, "looking" at him.

Kacha, the wine jar fell to the ground and shattered, Qi Ping rolled his eyes and fell backwards.

The skeleton hurried over with strange steps to support Qi Ping before he fell to the ground, and pressed his Renzhong acupoint. Seeing Qi Ping's eyes slowly open, the two will-o'-the-wisps couldn't help but light up.

A gust of wind blew suddenly, and the unclosed door of the earthen house creaked and was blown open. When Qi Ping saw the scene in the house clearly, a burst of anger burned in his heart, his eyes were red, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Mu Xiaoer was sitting in the bathtub, holding another "Qi Ping" in his arms, and found that he was looking at it. That "Qi Ping" took off his clothes one by one, and threw it on the ground casually, splashing a lot of water droplets.

Seeing this scene, Qi Ping's originally frightened mood was immediately burnt out by the rising anger, even the skeleton just now was forgotten by him.

In front of his eyes, this imposter dared to seduce his own person, but that idiot Mu Xiaoer didn't notice it at all.

The tip of Qi Ping's nose suddenly became sour, and he had been sniffing in the crescent of his neck all day long, but now he didn't know if his nose was disabled, and he didn't smell such a strong fox spirit.

Qi Ping yelled a few times, but there was like a barrier between the inside and outside of the house, no matter how much he shouted, Mu Xiaoer didn't respond.

Qi Ping hurriedly got up and planned to kill the fake first, but who knew that the moment his butt was raised, he was pulled back again.

He frowned and turned around, and was immediately stunned, only to see that the skeleton frame that he had forgotten was leaning behind him, and at this moment, the jaw of this skeleton frame was still clicking and clicking.

Qi Ping's mind went blank for a while, and there were so many strange things that happened in an instant, he no longer knew how to think.

The skeleton tilted its head, put its left arm around Qi Ping and made him change its posture facing him slightly, the five finger bones of the right hand clenched into a fist and punched his chest, and the jaw moved again with a click.

Before Qi Ping came back to his senses, Mu Xiaoer's voice came over, and he said: "Ping'er, I love you so much."

Mu Xiaoer!

Qi Ping woke up immediately, interrupted by the skeleton frame, he almost forgot what he did there.

He pushed the skeleton away and wanted to settle the business first, otherwise, if he waited a little longer, the two babies would probably be born.

He stretched out his hand and wanted to pull down the skeleton's arm, but unexpectedly, although it was only a skeleton, it held him tighter and tighter. In the end, it was even difficult to breathe.

Qi Ping thumped the joint of its left arm hard, expecting it to let go of its claws, but instead it was held even tighter.

But this thing also knows it hurts. He lowered his head, rubbed the five finger bones of his right hand there, and then put it on his head and patted it lightly.

Qi Ping didn't know what the hell this skeleton was up to. According to what he read in the storybook, the skeleton should be chasing and beating him. Why does this seem to like him a bit?

Qi Ping shivered for a moment, and quickly eliminated this scary thought.

He turned his head to look at Mu Xiaoque, and then at the skeleton in front of him, his eyes were red with anxiety.

He couldn't help but lowered his head and rubbed the center of his brows. His head was so painful that it was about to split open. The arrow was already on the string, but he was so trapped that he couldn't move.

As if seeing that he was uncomfortable, the skeleton pulled out its two legs from under Qi Ping's buttocks, then wrapped them around his back, and then stretched out the index fingers of its left and right hands to massage his temples.

Qi Ping looked up at it, the skeleton seemed to be a little familiar, its head was facing him, and it moved close to his forehead, it looked very strange.

The skeleton's jaw began to click and click again, not knowing what it wanted to say.

"Baby, you are so soft." Mu Xiaoer's voice came again.

Qi Ping immediately threw his head back, and then bumped into the skull's head, beating it to the side. He cursed angrily: "Let go of me! One step too late, I'll set it on fire!" you!"

This thing absolutely can't understand human words, Qi Ping let it go, but its arms became tighter and tighter.

Not only that, but he also acted like a hooligan, he didn't even have lips, only two rows of teeth, and kissed Qi Ping's lips, he couldn't even push them away.

Qi Ping tilted his head back again to avoid his "attack", then he drew out his fist and slammed it at its chin.

This time, it is estimated that it will directly smash its head off.

Although Qi Ping admits that he has little malice towards this skeleton, and he is not even afraid, but now there is no delay.

It is estimated that the final step will be reached soon, and he must kill the impostor before that.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his fist touched its chin, he could no longer move forward.

The skeleton's left hand firmly grasped his outstretched fist, and then hugged Qi Ping to his chest, following his back, as if he also knew that the person in front of him was angry.

Qi Ping opened his mouth to bite it on the head, but it dodged it, and then it made the sound of clicking its jaw next to Qi Ping's ear.

"Baby, I'm going in." Hearing this voice, Qi Ping's heart twitched, and then his head hurt like a needle.

"I love brother Mu, I love him, he is mine, I love him, I can even die for him! I love him, I want to kill you!"

With tears streaming down his face, Qi Ping kept repeating these words with a ferocious face. He opened his mouth like a choked fish, and the pain swelled in his chest.

He finally bit the neck of the culprit in front of him, vowing to bite off its head.
