026 All Rivers Are Inclusive (3)
What is above Jushi? It is an existence that I have never heard of. Will that beast come back soon and kill me directly? Mother, that idiot, just followed it so easily. Nothing will happen to her. She is so
Can cause trouble.
I was really scared. I thought carefully about the man who had only said one sentence to my mother from the moment he appeared until just now. So why did he call her out?
"That idiot."
I threw away the remaining food in my hand, turned around and ran quickly into the jungle. My head was very clear. My mother had never been injured except once in the freezing rain, but the human boy just said that he couldn't feel his body.
With his strength, if he gets injured, he might be the beast that injured his mother at that time, so his mother's life would be in danger!
"Mother! Mother!"
No matter how much I shouted, there was no response. Damn it, how far can she go in such a short time? Doesn’t she have to come back to eat? If she doesn’t show up, I will throw away all the meat.
I was desperate and collapsed on the ground. These trees were too big, and it was night again, so I could only see very limited things. I was like an ant beast caught in a rushing river, and had to wait for death in fear.
At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind me. I turned around quickly and called my mother at the same time. Then I fell into infinite disappointment.
It's that human boy. The sound of his mother's walking is not like this at all. I can't even distinguish her voice.
"Brother Shuangxuan, why are you running so fast? I almost couldn't catch up." He bent over and gasped for air, and the hot breath hit my face over and over again.
I thought about my mother again. I can’t remember exactly when it happened. It was very cold in that place. There was no place to hide, and it didn’t distinguish between day and night. The sky was always silver-white. When I reached the point where I couldn’t walk anymore, I thought about my mother again.
We hugged each other to keep each other warm, and we didn’t know how we fell asleep in the end.
During that period, every time I woke up, I could feel my mother's breath, and then the two beasts pointed at each other, mocking the ugly appearance under the frost.
"Mother is missing..."
I looked at him and tears fell down directly. I didn't allow myself to show my fragile side in front of humans. If it weren't for the darkness to cover it up, I would never shed tears.
The boy didn't know what happened to me, but he could hear that something was wrong in my voice, so he quickly reached out his hand to help me up, and comforted me: "Auntie will be fine. Although it's just my guess, the beast just now
Didn't you call her senior? Brother Shuangxuan, don't worry, it'll be fine."
It turns out that I am so fragile that I need a human being to comfort me.
I don't like comfort very much. In my memory, my mother has never said such words. According to my own understanding, comfort is fake. The more comfort, the more likely it is.
Just then, familiar footsteps came from behind, and the mother walked over with the beast.
"Why are you here? Don't walk around. What should I do if I get lost?" She actually asked me in turn.
I rushed forward. I originally wanted to ask her where she was, but I had the nerve to ask her what to do if she got lost. She was the one that worried the beast the most. However, the tears in her eyes were about to burst, so I used
Use all your strength to control.
The mother and the others returned to the fire. The remaining meat was almost charred, and the mother had not eaten any of the carving's meat.
After this, I hated the sudden beast even more. I still wanted the beads, but I didn’t even think about it. I would throw them away without even giving him a glance.
I had already held the bead in my hand, holding a breath in my heart, ready to throw it out at any time, but it would have no effect on me anyway.
At this moment, my mother took the meat off the shelf, brought it to her nose, smelled it a few times, and then ate it one bite at a time.
“It’s delicious.”
I was a little puzzled. The carving itself didn't have much meat, and it was grilled like wood. When I took a bite, my mouth was filled with a squeaking sound. It didn't look delicious at all.
As I was thinking this, the man bent down and picked up a piece of scattered meat at his feet, and ate it in a few bites.
Could it be that it was really delicious? With some curiosity, I asked my mother for a small piece of meat, and then took a careful bite, only to spit it out immediately.
It was bitter, just like eating a mouthful of charcoal. What did my mother think? She wouldn't be afraid of spoiling her stomach if she ate it. I snatched the meat from her hand and threw it into the fire.
"I'm going hunting tomorrow. I've been looking for you for a long time. I'm tired and I'm going to sleep." After saying this, I walked over to the human boy and lay down, closing my eyes to rest.
When the human boy saw me lying down, he hesitated for a while before speaking out and said: "Brother Shuangxuan, I should be leaving tomorrow. I don't know when we will see you again after this time. But don't worry, I will accept everything you and aunt said."
In mind."
I don't intend to let a human being follow me, it's enough to know his current situation.
But I was a little curious, so I still closed my eyes and whispered, "What did mother tell you?"
"She denied me a question."
It was as if I hadn't said it, and I didn't intend to continue asking. My body was already very tired, so I just fell asleep.
"You said there are very few things people can do. I think that's wrong."
…
…
The next day I got up very early, it was still dark, but I didn't see my mother or the others around me. I hurriedly got up and looked around, and finally saw my mother's shadow.
She and the man stood side by side, looking forward together, where a vague figure could be vaguely seen, which was a human boy. He always walked in front of me, and I was already familiar with that figure from behind.
Although he told me in advance that he was leaving, I was still a little angry. I didn't treat him well last night. I originally planned to apologize to him, but I got up so early on purpose, and then left just like that.
I'm angry because I'm the last one to wake up, why don't they all sleep?
I didn't complain about this. I was already awake anyway, so I took this time to find something to eat.
To be honest, I rarely go out to look for food during this time, because most of the prey are still sleeping, and if I want to harvest something, I have to go to their nests, which is not my strong point.
In the end, I wandered outside for a long time with no results, and returned to my mother empty-handed. If it were normal times, I would not be so dejected. I have failed to hunt too many times, but after all, I said before going to bed yesterday that I would leave the hunting today to me.
I, in this way, seem to have failed to keep my promise.
"Let's go."
This was the first thing my mother said after seeing me. I nodded and followed her, but I couldn't figure it out. The man actually followed me. He didn't intend to keep following me.
My mother and I are both too weak. If we want to find a way to get rid of him, his goal is very clear, which is the bead in my arms, so now I have to make a choice.
Beads are treasures that can be exchanged for certain things in the hands of the human race. They are definitely useful on the path my mother and I are walking on, but we have all walked through it without beads before. If we give it up and can save a big trouble, it is cost-effective.
of.
"Here's this bead for you, don't follow us anymore."
He didn't seem to expect that I would hand something to him so suddenly, and he was so frightened that he took a few steps back. In fact, it was me who should be afraid. Facing a traveler who was more than acquainted with me, he could lose his life at any time.
Then he reacted, took the beads, and looked at his mother again.
My mother looked at me with curious eyes for a while, and then said to the man: "I said this is Shuangxuan's thing, and he can do whatever he wants with it. Now it is yours, and it should return to its original owner."
After hearing what his mother said, the man showed great joy, bowed hastily and then disappeared into thin air.
I breathed a sigh of relief. While my mother was not too far away from me, I jumped on her back and refused to let go no matter what she did.
"It's all because of you that my treasure is gone, so you have to carry it on my back."
"That's his thing originally. Forget it, since it's not easy for you these days, I'll just carry you on my back for a while, and then I'll come down by myself after you've had enough rest."
This sentence is the best reward for me, and it also makes up for the regret in my heart about losing the treasure.
Then I realized that my mother said that it was originally his thing. I would not doubt her words, but I had obviously taken out the bead from the eagle's belly, so there were other things involved.
In such a short period of time, my mother knew so many things, but I didn't even notice anything strange.
"Shuangxuan, do you want to hear a story?" She looked back at me with some pride.
"Don't listen!" I jumped off her back, then strode forward, keeping a long distance away.
She seemed to know what I was thinking. I breathed a sigh of relief and then started to recall what happened yesterday. No, there was nothing strange about it. My ability was far from enough. I should have known more.
It may be a pity not to hear this story, but there is something I can understand. I slowed down and waited for my mother's figure.
After she caught up with her, I immediately leaned over and asked, "Besides the story, is there anything else I can know?"
I am a little confused about this question myself, but since she is a mother, she should know.
Sure enough, although she had doubts, she still said: "For example...the name of this mountain range?"
I nodded hastily. After staying here for more than two years, I finally had a little understanding.
