animal pattern

An Li raised his hand and unbuttoned his collar. The inexplicable sweltering heat made him a little out of breath. He looked up at the sky, and saw the orange floating clouds stretching out extremely long horizontal stripes in the blue sky. It was a strange sight, and he had never seen it before. been.

Thinking of the strange animals that I encountered along the way when I went up the mountain, they seemed to be extremely active, as if all the small animals that I didn't usually see all ran out at once, and the dense density made me a little scared.

Anli felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it out, so he picked wild vegetables and went back quickly, thinking that a heavy rainstorm was coming.

Suddenly the mountain under my feet shook violently, like a floating boat in a huge wave, with stones rolling down from above, and a terrible creaking sound from the ground, the mountain suddenly collapsed and broke, as if it was quickly torn apart by an invisible hand , torn into an unfathomable ditch, like the entrance to hell.

Lightning flashed in the sky, thunder shook, and the wind howled on the ground. Amid the strong shaking, the peaks trembled violently.

This hidden valley outside the world is experiencing an unprecedented catastrophe.In the faint sunlight, fine dust condenses into a thick mist that permeates and floats, rising piece by piece, strand by strand, like a curtain slowly suspended in the air, silently covering the ruins, Life seemed to be wrapped in this deathly mist.

Ao Kong was knocked unconscious by the rolling rocks on the spot, and when he woke up, he found that half of the valley was buried in the rolling rocks, devastated.

Anli, where is Anli?

When Ao Kongxing turned around, the first thought in his mind was Anli.Thinking of his ignorance of life and death on the mountain, he felt his heart constricted suddenly, as if he was suffocated, he clutched his twitching heart tightly, and ran up the mountain staggeringly.

"An Li - An Li -"

The hoarse call seemed to be suffocated in the thick fog by the raised dust, and there was no response at all.

Ao Kong rubbed his cuff roughly with the eyes blurred by the blood dripping from his forehead, and continued to carefully search for Anli's trace in the pile of rocks. crack.

An Li, perhaps to him, was not just a simple responsibility.

"Ao Kong..., I'm here..."

A weak voice came from below, and Ao Kong looked down in surprise.An Li curled up and hid in the gap between two huge sliding boulders, and there was a boulder tremblingly leaning over it that might collapse at any time.

"Don't move, I'll rescue you right away." Seeing that An Li was fine, a hanging heart finally fell.

"En." Hearing Ao Kong's voice, An Li's previous helpless fear dissipated.

Ao Kong quickly came to Anli's location, and pulled down one of the boulders with force, and countless scattered rocks fell from the top of the crack.The boulder slanted above also tilted, as if it would fall down at any time.

"No, Ao Kong, you'd better go, it's too dangerous." Seeing the danger, An Li hurriedly stopped Ao Kong.

"Stay, don't move." Ao Kong's bloodshot eyes emitted a strange light, the pupils changed from round to narrow and long, and there was a soft sound of bones, and a strong and ferocious beast with a body length of more than two meters appeared on the spot, with a smooth curve on its back , the silver fur is covered with flowing cloud-like black animal patterns.

With a soft roar, he mobilized all the muscles in his body to accumulate strength, smashed away one of the huge boulders, dodged in, and pressed An Li under him, making it airtight, and the falling stones hit Ao Kong's back one after another.

Only when there was no more sound in the sky did he let go of An Li, turned over and lay aside.

"Ao Kong..." An Li saw that Ao Kong's back was smashed to pieces, bloody and bloody, and several bone spurs were broken. It was too horrible to look at, and his voice trembled.

"It's okay,... let me slow down..." Ao Kong was a little dizzy from the impact, and lay on his stomach weakly.

Fortunately, the water bag he carried with him was still in good condition. An Li hurriedly cleaned up the gravel on Ao Kong's back carefully, washed away the debris with water, and found some hemostatic grass nearby, chewed it with his mouth and applied it on it. Wrap the wound with clean underwear.

The mountain is too dangerous, you have to go down the mountain to an open area quickly.Ao Kong shook his head vigorously to wake himself up, and struggled to stand up. Fortunately, his spine was not injured.

"Let's go, we have to hurry down the mountain."

"But you..., your..." An Li couldn't help worrying when he saw that the wound Ao Kong wrapped was bleeding again.

"I'm fine, let's go!" Ao Kong knew that he couldn't fall down at this time, and he had to bring Anli down the mountain.

The two walked and rested, and finally reached the foot of the mountain with support. They were stunned by the tragic scene of the village in front of them. Just now, Ao Kong was in a hurry to find Anli, and did not pay attention to the disaster situation in the village.

The tranquility and comfort of the past are no longer there, as if it has been ravaged by demons. It is the monster that flattened the village, broke the roof beams, and extinguished the vitality.The village was completely unrecognizable. Huge rolling stones lay sideways and leaned vertically on top of the wooden houses. The wooden houses were smashed to pieces, messy with branches, or buried as a whole.

In the bleak gray fog, there were moans of pain, cries of collapse, hoarse shouts, heavy panting, and messy footsteps, all kinds of sounds were mixed.

The most heart-shattering thing is that the corpses that have been excavated are placed on the side of the road, the heads have been crushed, the feet have been smashed, and the bodies have been crushed...

Almost all of them were suddenly pushed to death without any preparation.There is only such a thin door between life and death. If you open the door of death, you will never return to life. Life is so fragile and impermanent.

Too hasty, too hasty, and death happens in an instant.

I saw the bloody clansmen lying in the ruins, the frightened child, Yama who was sitting on the ground crying, and the warriors digging desperately to save their lives.

One side is the sorrow of death, which makes people feel cold; the other side is the progress of life, which makes people persevere.

"Here—there are people alive here—"

A hoarse roar woke the two of them up, and Ao Kong and An Li rushed towards the direction of the roar.

Under the ruins of the wooden house that was crushed by huge rolling stones, someone could hear intermittent crying from inside. Ao Kong didn't care about the worsening of his injuries, and immediately changed back to human form, and together with other warriors, he used rough wood to pry open the boulder.

Pulling apart the collapsed roof, through the gaps in the pile of ruins, one can see Yama is kneeling on both knees, with his entire upper body prostrated forward, supporting his body with his hands on the ground, but his body is severely deformed by the pressure. .Just looking at the shape of his body, he knew that there was no possibility of survival.

The few warriors who rescued still held a glimmer of hope and shouted at the ruins a few times, but there was no response from inside.When a disaster strikes, it is normal for people to experience auditory hallucinations after great grief. Several people shook their heads in regret.

When they were about to give up, a weak crying sounded again, which was very strange. Everyone became quiet all of a sudden, even breathing unconsciously.Ao Kong lay down in the gap of the ruins, listened carefully for a while, then suddenly put his hand under the body of the dead Yama and fumbled, and kicked him lightly with a small sole.

After a lot of hard work, everyone cleared away the ruins blocking her, and her baby was lying under her body, about 5 months old, because Mamma's body protected him, he was not injured at all, when he was carried out, He also put his fingers into his mouth to suck, and when he saw everyone, he opened his mouth happily, revealing the two rice teeth that had just grown.

He was so young and ignorant that he didn't know what happened, but the greatness of his mother's love made him survive.

The author has something to say: The mother used her life to support the living space of the child. During the Wenchuan earthquake, I read news reports and was moved. This scene is the one I remember the most. When I wrote about the earthquake, I couldn’t help but write her in it. .

14. Unexpected disasters fall on the head...

Ao Kong threw the child to Anli, and went to the next place with the others to search and rescue.An Li hugged the child at a loss, and was gnawed with saliva all over his face.Looking at him, I can't help but think of my little guy, is he also so chubby and cute.An Li thought that this child was very pitiful, so why not talk to Ao Kong and see if he could be adopted.

When we came to the square, there were wounded people, old and young people gathered here, and Bai Xi was so busy taking care of so many wounded, there were still many wounded lying on the ground moaning with their wounds exposed.

An Li hurriedly handed the child to the elderly Yama to take care of him, and ran to Bai Xi's side to see if there was anything he could do to help.

Before An could leave his mouth, Bai Xi grabbed him.

"Great, hurry up, you help bandage minor injuries." Anli had been collecting herbs for jerky for a while, and was familiar with the effects of most herbs.

"Where is Dr. Seda, why are you alone?"

"The doctor's leg was injured and he can't move. If you don't understand something, go to the southwest corner of the square to find him."

"Oh, I see."

Anli quickly treated the wound and bandaged it, and some slow-moving Yama also helped to take care of the wounded, and things gradually became orderly.

An Li had just helped a little Daru bandage the injured head, stood up, and saw Yama, who was wearing blood-soaked clothes, curled up in the corner of the square.She wrapped her arms around her knees, and poked her chin sharply on them.

"Are you okay? Did you hurt somewhere?"

Hearing An Li's questioning voice, Yama looked up, and An Li saw two black hole-like eyes on her face, numb and dry, bottomless.An Li and her stared at each other for a moment, and she was involuntarily brought to the edge of the black hole. A chill gradually crawled up from the soles of his feet, as if he was about to slip and fall into the abyss that would never be restored.

An Li couldn't help being startled, quickly looked away, and asked again in a soft voice.

Her lips moved and she made a very faint sound.An Li listened for a long time, and only felt some slight vibrations on the eardrum.It took a while for the tremors to settle into vague words.

An Li suddenly realized that what she said was "save him".

Seeing that she was covered in blood but had no obvious wounds, Anli thought that her Yaofu might have been injured or died in order to save him.This speculation is like a sharp awl, piercing a thin gap in Anli's heart, fear of gurgling out from the gap.If just now, when Ao Kong was protecting himself, he was hit by a boulder..., what would happen to him? ...

"An Li - An Li -"

Hearing Bai Xi anxiously calling for him, An Li didn't care about the traumatized Yama, and hurried over.

Seeing Gesun being carried in, half of his body was soaked in blood, his right hand was smashed into a pulp from the shoulder down, and the bones of his elbow were exposed.

"Gesun, you have to hold on..." Bai Xi, who was calm just now, called Gesun with a trembling voice.

"Bai Xi, I'm sorry...I kept saying...I'll wait for you...maybe I can't do it..." Hearing Bai Xi's call, Gesun, who was already a little unconscious, became a little more awake and spoke to Bai Xi intermittently. Xi expressed his regret that he could not keep his promise.

"Fool..., what are you talking about at this time." Bai Xi couldn't help sobbing.

"I'm afraid... I won't... see you again in the future, you... let me see more." Taking advantage of the courage to die, Ge Sen held Bai Xi's hand with his left hand and did not let go.

"Hold on for me, as long as you get through it, I'll let you see enough in the future." Seeing Ge Sen's weak will to survive, Bai Xi couldn't help urging him.

"Really?" Gesen opened his eyes wide in surprise, fearing that he might hear wrongly.

"Really." Bai Xi nodded forcefully with tears in her eyes.

"That's great, I'll definitely hold on." Hearing Bai Xi's promise, Ge Sen felt as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he immediately cheered up.

In Gesun's situation, he had to amputate his limbs, but under the current conditions, with insufficient herbs, Dr. Saida was injured again, and he had never undergone amputation himself, Bai Xi inevitably panicked.

Bai Xi asked the clansmen to quickly bring Dr. Seda over as a guide, and let An Li help.

"Don't panic, Bai Xi!" Seeing that Bai Xi's hand holding the knife was shaking, Dr. Seda asked An Li to switch hands to cut off the bad limb.

"Me? I can't." An Li was taken aback by Dr. Seda's bold idea.

"An Li, you are stronger than Bai Xi, you can cut off the bad limb with one knife, so as to avoid causing bigger wounds, don't panic, just cut it off quickly as I said."

Looking at the situation, An Li knew that any further hesitation would endanger Gesun's life, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet.He put the claw knife on the flame and roasted it, took a deep breath, followed Dr. Saida's instructions, cut off the bad limb neatly, and the blood gushed away.

Bai Xi stood aside, and immediately pressed the red-hot stone stick on the blood vessel, with a "squeak" sound, a smell of burnt meat came out, Bai Xi put down the stone stick, and put the prepared medicine powder on it, Quickly sew it up, apply herbs on the outside, and bandage it up.After finishing all this, Bai Xi leaned aside with all her strength, her clothes were already drenched with sweat.

Dr. Seda looked at Ge Sen who had fainted from the pain at this time, and praised Bai Xi and An Li's tacit cooperation. Then, the two treated several wounded who needed amputation in the same way.

After Anli finished his work, it was late at night, and a bonfire was raised in the square. Everyone was worried about the aftershocks, so they all gathered in the square to rest, and some clansmen prayed to the fire god.

Anli took the food distributed by the tribe and went to look for Ao Kong, worried about his back injury.

Ao Kong stared blankly at the bonfire. He used to think that he was omnipotent, and his outstanding youth gave him the capital to be proud, but today, he found that he was so powerless. Facing natural disasters and the dead and injured clansmen, he could do nothing by himself. There is too little that can be done, and I am still not strong enough.

Not long ago, he and Gesun were excavating a collapsed wooden house. Inside, a family of three were crushed and unable to move, but they were all still alive.The two had just pried away the rolling stones when the aftershocks came suddenly. The wooden house just dug out was suddenly covered by rocks rolling down from the mountain.In that instant, the three fresh lives that were still crying for help just now were mercilessly taken away.

Ao Kong feels frustrated and helpless for his failure to rescue the family of three and Gesen in time.

An Li has never seen Ao Kong like this before. He can be vigorous, he can be rebellious, he can have a black face and a paralyzed face, like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed, but he has never been like this, covered in mud and blood. , slumped on the ground, exhausted and depressed.

An Li walked over, bent down and touched the wound on his forehead.

Suddenly being hugged tightly by Ao Kong's waist with terrifying strength, An Li felt that his waist was about to be cut off.Anli understood Ao Kong's feelings and quietly waited for him to calm down.

After a while, Ao Kong let go of An Li, and turned away embarrassedly.

An Li handed him the food in his hand, Ao Kong took it and started to eat silently without saying a word.An Li turned behind him, as expected, the wound opened again, the oozing blood soaked the bandage, An Li carefully untied the bandage, the hideous wound still made An Li startled, lightly brushed the wound, An Li I was speechless from guilt.

"I...I'm fine." Ao Kong comforted awkwardly.

"Now the medicine is tight, only this... I'll apply it for you first, you have to be careful, don't... let the wound open again." An Li instructed carefully while applying the medicine.

"En." Ao Kong responded casually.

An Li knew that what he said was useless. If the tribe needed it, Ao Kong would be the first to rush forward regardless of his injuries.But I still feel relieved to hear his promise.

After bandaging Ao Kong, Anli worried that Baixi still had patients to take care of, so he left in a hurry.Another terrifying shadow that closely accompanies the disaster has quietly approached him.

More than half of the clansmen were killed and injured, and their homes were destroyed. This unpredictable and unstoppable catastrophe plunged the orc tribe into a gloomy and desolate situation. The clansmen went from panic and sadness to full of resentment, and they needed an explanation to calm them down.This kind of emotion is like a volcano erupting, boiling magma, trying to find a vent to spray out.

At this time, someone did not know who spread the news that the natural disaster was caused by Anli, who was abandoned by the Vulcan, insisting on participating in the Kuoshi Fire Festival and angering the Vulcan.This statement spread like a prairie fire in an instant, and was quickly recognized by the grieving people.Immediately, together with hatred and anger, they squeezed uncontrollably towards that small outlet.

Although this statement was repeatedly denied by the priest and the head of the Wulun clan, the clansmen have lost their minds and their anger is out of control. They need a sinner to pass on the pain.

An Li looked at the tired, haggard, and painful clansmen who had experienced natural disasters. Their faces were covered with dust, and their clothes were stained with blood. At this moment, they were attacking him fiercely.Those clansmen who he had bandaged their wounds just yesterday were red-eyed and wanted to tear themselves apart today.The heart that I thought was rough and solid and callused still has one or two places of flesh, which grow in the dead corners, and the calluses will never reach it. Those flesh are in the deepest and deepest part of the heart, accidentally When I touched it, it still hurts like a muscle and a bone.

This time, Ao Kong still stood firmly in front of him like last time, blocking him, but he could block the stones thrown at him by the tribe, but he couldn't stop the sound of crusade.

The crowd was excited, and everyone shouted to dedicate Anli to the Vulcan for atonement, and asked for the understanding of the Vulcan to continue to protect the tribe.Faced with the excited clansmen, priests and patriarchs were also helpless.In three days, the clansmen will detain Anli for execution.

Anli was temporarily locked in a vacant wooden house that hadn't collapsed, and the warriors of the tribe took turns guarding it outside.The windows were nailed with wooden boards, not a single ray of light could penetrate, and An Li sat in a dark corner.

He was suffering, an unspeakable discomfort, an inexplicable discomfort.Bearing such a heavy sin for no reason, he suddenly felt that he was still alive and alive at this time, which in itself was a great pain and sorrow.

The author has something to say: the earthquake is a turning point, not for the sake of abuse~~~

Anli's ordinary life is coming to an end, and more exciting and dangerous adventures will begin~~~~

15

15. Join hands to rescue Anli out of the valley...

In the middle of the night, Ao Kong jumped onto the roof of the wooden house where Anli was being held, and with all his might, he pulled down a piece of wood, revealing a hole the size of a bowl. By the moonlight, he saw Anli curled up in a corner, so lonely, The thin figure was almost swallowed by the darkness.

Ao Kong lay on his back next to the cave, silently accompanying him.

"These stupid idiots are unreasonable and self-righteous..." The priest walked back and forth angrily, the tribe no longer believed his words, and several elders led the tribe to openly disobey him, thinking that he had done nothing to Anli before Even the nonsense has kept Vulcan away from him, and he must correct it immediately before he can continue to be a qualified priest.

"You idiot patriarch is useless at all." The priest saw patriarch Wu Lun sitting like a log with frowning brows, and the anger in his heart couldn't help but grow worse.

"Hey, the clansmen have lost their minds now, and the grief has made everyone crazy. I also know that An Li is innocent, but..., I've been thinking about it for the past two days."

"Your head is filled with straw, what can you think of, it's a waste of effort."

"you……"

"By the way, do you think there is something wrong with Ao Kong being quiet these two days..."

"Hey, I hope he won't make any bigger troubles."

"Hehe~~~~, it's good to make trouble, at least..."

Wu Lun looked at the priest with a foxy smile on his face, and felt that instead of racking his brain to think of a way to save Anli, it would be more practical to think about how to deal with the aftermath.

A huge flaming falcon spread its wings and slid over the peak, landing on a tree halfway up the mountain.

A few Yamas were picking wild fruits and vegetables below, and while they were busy, they were so angry that they attacked Anli with words.

After a few people walked away, a handsome and tall young man came out from behind the tree, elegant but a little loose, but at this moment his brows were furrowed.When Lang Yi flew over the sky just now, he saw that the terrain here had changed significantly. When he flew down, half of the entire valley was destroyed. He couldn't help worrying about Anli, so he landed and wanted to take the opportunity to inquire.

Who would have heard such absurd news, to push the blame of this natural disaster on An Li, extremely ignorant, he couldn't let that kind-hearted person suffer from such an indiscriminate disaster, Lang Yi immediately made up his mind that no matter how difficult it was, he would definitely To rescue Anli.

Although there were many casualties in the tribe, and the defense was much weaker than before, but now the people of this tribe are like frightened birds. If they are a little alarmed, the rescue will immediately become vigilant.For the sake of prudence, Lang Yi decided to wait until dark before acting.

The valley was already gray, and the lone star in the sky had a cold twilight, and the village was silent, except for a few strange hootings of owls from afar.

Ao Kong thought about it for two days. The terrain of the valley is special, and there is only a narrow passage to go out. The chances of him breaking out of the encirclement with An Li, who has no combat power, are really slim, but there is no time to delay. Tonight is the deadline, tomorrow Early in the morning, the clansmen were going to tie up Anli and carry out the torture.For the past two days, Ao Kong has kept his composure, just to let the clansmen relax their vigilance towards him, and take advantage of the second half of the night when the vigilance of the guarding warriors is relatively relaxed, to take advantage of it.

When he came to the wooden house, Ao Kong, who was about to sneak attack, found several warriors in prison Anli lying on the ground in a mess, he stepped forward to look in surprise, there was no trauma, but all were unconscious.

Suddenly there was a slight noise from the left, and Ao Kong quickly chased after him, blocking the figure who was trying to enter the wooden house.

The two started fighting without saying a word, tacitly did not make too much noise, but their moves became more and more fierce. They both wanted to kill each other quickly without disturbing the clansmen. Unfortunately, they were evenly matched, and it was difficult to distinguish between them .

"Stop, you belong to Anli..." Lang Yi inadvertently saw the animal pattern on Ao Kong's chest during the fight. He remembered very clearly that the husband pattern on Anli's forehead was exactly the same as this one. Could it be that he belonged to Anli? Yaofu, this thought made Lang Yi's chest feel tight.

Ao Kong also stopped, and looked at this foreigner vigilantly. His force was very strong, almost comparable to his own.

"How is An Li doing now?" Lang Yi was a little anxious when he stared at him but didn't speak.

"Did you make these people dizzy?" Ao Kong didn't respond to Lang Yi's inquiry, and directly asked his own question.

"They were already like this when I came here..." Regarding this point, Lang Yi was also very confused.

"........."

"I want to take Anli away, you..." Lang Yi was anxious to take Anli away for fear of causing trouble if he stayed for a long time.

"No need." Ao Kong refused without waiting for him to finish.

"You..." Lang Yi was annoyed by his attitude, but he had to endure it, "He is yours anyway... how can you just watch him being burned at the stake."

"It's none of your business." Ao Kong's attitude was still very blunt, he doubted the motive of this unknown foreigner to save Anli.

"You..." Lang Yi was so blocked that he couldn't speak.

The two once again wanted to slap each other.

"You... want to take Anli away too." Lang Yi looked at Ao Kong's calm face, but his eyes were always on the lookout for any alarmed people around him, so he speculated.

Ao Kong didn't answer, but the firm expression on his face told Lang Yi the answer.

"I'm afraid you can't take Anli out of the valley by yourself, or you wouldn't have waited until now." Lang Yi explained Ao Kong's predicament in one word.

"..." Ao Kong silently agreed.

"My animal form is a flaming falcon, and I can fly him out of the valley." Lang Yi persevered in persuading Ao Kong.

"..." Ao Kong's eyes lit up, but he still stared at Lang Yi without opening his mouth.

"Anli saved me, you trust me." Lang Yi saw that Ao Kong still didn't trust him, so he could only tell about Anli's rescue.

Ao Kong recalled that last winter, Anli was strange for a while, with a strange aura on his body, presumably it belonged to this person, and probably saved him at that time.

Ao Kong walked into the wooden house and did not stop Lang Yi from entering, acquiescing to join hands with this foreigner to rescue Anli.

An Li shrank in the corner, his eyes were a little dull, Ao Kong squatted beside him, talking to him softly, the gentle tone was just like the two of them just now.

"An Li, I'll take you away."

After a while, An Li moved his mouth like a fish out of water, and said something vaguely.The two were very close, but they couldn't hear clearly. They seemed to be calling grandpa, and at the same time they seemed to be calling Mamuda's father. It seemed that An Li had almost collapsed.

Ao Kong and Lang Yi discussed it, and finally decided that Ao Kong would lead the guards away, and Lang Yi would fly out of the valley with An Li on his back, and then the three of them would gather at the agreed place.

Ao Kong didn't quite agree with this plan. He was worried about handing Anli over to a foreigner, but he had no choice but to compromise.

Fearing that Anli would see the fight and panic when he arrived, Ao Kong controlled his strength and directly knocked him unconscious with a knife in his hand. Ao Kong led the way, and Lang Yi hugged Anli behind him, and walked out of the cabin carefully.

Things went unexpectedly smoothly, and they left the valley with almost no obstacles, and the guards fainted to the ground for no reason.Although the two were puzzled, they decided to leave first, and take a step to see.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's finally rescued."

"That's right, no matter who I am, I can hear my Lihunsan as soon as I smell it."

"That... what is the soul scattered, there will be no sequelae."

"You won't know until you try."

"Uh, let's forget it, but who was the other person just now, it seems that I have never seen it before."

"Yeah, maybe it's a foreigner. When the two of them fought just now, my heart was pounding and I was so nervous."

Those who are excited to watch a good show are going to die, but this is just a moment of sadness in my heart, and I don't have the courage to say it.

"Foreigners..."

"It's all gone anyway, what are you struggling with?"

"........."

"I'm sleepy and I'm going to sleep. If you want to continue squatting, just squat."

The two squatting in the dark are our Lord Priest and Chief Wulun. The priest yawned and walked away, while Chief Wulun touched his head and muttered to himself. .

"Life outside here is no better than living in the valley. I hope that the two of them will be safe and sound in the future. Hey... After a while, wait for the tribe to calm down, and then let them come back..."

"woke up?"

When An Li opened his eyes, he was startled by the enlarged face, and couldn't help but move back.

"It's so sad, do I look so terrible? Don't you recognize me?"

An Li saw the person in front of him making an exaggerated heart-wrapping movement, a pair of slightly long peach blossom eyes under his sword eyebrows, and a dimple on his cheek. Even though he showed an expression of grievance, he still couldn't hide his smiling face, which was very strange. But the voice is familiar.

"Little Red" An Li tentatively called out with a little hesitation.

"...Although I'm glad you can still recognize me, Xiao Hong is still waiving it. Call me Lang Yi, or Ah Yi is better!" Live, take the trouble to correct again.

With a lot of strength in his hands, the branch used to skewer the pheasant was snapped off by Ao Kong, he threw down the broken branch, and picked up another one to skewer in agitation.

"Ao Kong?" An Li heard the sound, turned his head to look, it turned out to be Ao Kong, turned his head and looked around, and found that he was already in a place he had never seen before.

Branches are connected to branches, leaves are stacked on top of each other, and vines are intertwined with each other, as if covered with layers of large nets, and also very similar to a dark green seabed, where no sunlight can penetrate.There are stretches of towering trees everywhere, and there are no roads or people here.

"This is where?"

"Don't worry, we have already left the valley, this place is thousands of miles away from your tribe."

"???"

"Last night, that facial paralysis and I rescued you together. We were afraid of being overtaken by your people. We carried you on the road all night, but I was exhausted." Lang Yi asked for rewards and credits, but there was no sign What a tired place.

"But... I just leave the tribe like this..., it's not good."

"It's like turning yourself into a roast pig."

"Ao Kong..., I..., but you..." Anli felt extremely uneasy about fleeing from the tribe like this, and Ao Kong was also forced to leave the tribe and became homeless.

"Leave for a while, wait for the tribe to calm down." Ao Kong put the skewered pheasant on the fire and slowly turned it. In fact, he didn't care as much about leaving the tribe as Anli imagined. He cares more now. It was the guy who was sticking to An Li's side, and he wished he could kick him away.

The author has something to say: Thanks to qinglang for the long comment and mine, and here is a small theater piece.

No Responsibility Small Theater:

An Li: I've had enough. I've been doing it for so long, but I haven't grown any animal patterns yet. How can I mess around?

Ao Kong: Don't worry, I will help you grow the animal pattern at night.

An Li: ... (shooting at Ao Kong with extremely suspicious eyes)

(night)

An Li: Hmm... Where's the animal pattern?... Ah, don't touch that...

Ao Kong: It will be fine in a while...

(the next day)

An Li: Is this what you call the animal pattern? (An Li points to the large hickey marks on his chest.)

Ao Kong: How is it? The technique is good, right?

Anli: Go away~~~~~~~

16

16. Fleeing into the forest is dangerous...

"Xiao Li, you don't always want to go out of the valley to see the outside world. Now that you are out, you should let go of everything in the past and try a different life." Lang Yi looked at An Li's restless and guilty look, feeling a little distressed for him Always considerate, can't help enlightening him.

"Hey, I want to get out of the valley and take a good look at the outside world, but it's not what I am now. I have no ability..." Thinking that in such a primitive jungle, I am afraid that I will not be able to live without the two of them for a moment. bitter.

"I will protect you."

"I will accompany you."

At this moment, Ao Kong and Lang Yi almost spoke in unison, but after they finished speaking and heard the other party's promise, their expressions twitched involuntarily.

Ao Kong turned his head stiffly and continued the barbecue in his hand, he was noncommittal to Lang Yi's attitude, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had been trying to drive him away for a long time.

Lang Yi is also a little surprised by his unusual persistence in protecting An Li, but he has always followed his inner thoughts. Although Ao Kong and An Li are married, according to his own observation, they are not like ordinary wives As close as Yaofu, somewhat unnaturally unfamiliar and polite, perhaps there are some unavoidable reasons for this.

But after all, Aokong is Anli's Yaofu, and it is only natural to accompany him to protect him, but as for himself, Lang Yi can't help being a little discouraged in what capacity he will accompany him to protect him.Suddenly remembered the matter of the animal pattern.
