The little rabbit was very pitiful. The fur all over his body was soaked by the rain and clung tightly to his body. Even his ears were drooped and he couldn't lift them up. His body was cold.
If Qiuqiu had not come, it would probably have died in the heavy rain.
Qiuqiu hugged it back.
From a distance, I thought she had picked up a stone, but when she got closer, I saw she was holding a rabbit.
"this……"
"It seems to be injured. Let me take a look at it."
Keren closed her mouth and turned her face to the side.
At this time, you still have time to worry about the rabbit.
But Chunyu vaguely remembered someone saying that Miss Jingqiu liked rabbits very much. Someone saw several white rabbits outside Fengxian Pavilion, and most of them were raised by her.
"It's injured." Chunyu squatted down, looked at it carefully, pointed at the rabbit and said, "Look here, the hind leg is injured."
Qiuqiu has also seen it. There is a deep gash there. I don’t know if it was scratched by a stone or if it encountered some natural enemy. There are many natural enemies of rabbits, snakes, eagles, weasels... Anyway, they only want to eat meat. , which is a fatal threat to it.
Qiuqiu sat down with it in her arms and took out the small medicine box from the dry burial bag. She first cut off the hair near its wound with small scissors, then sterilized it and applied medicine and bandage. She often took care of her little rabbit in this way, so she was considered a proficient expert. After the bandage was finished, the remaining cloth was tied with a cute bow.
Ke Ren looked on speechless.
Qiuqiu wiped the water off the little gray rabbit's body and fed it two pieces of rabbit food: "Good boy, I will take you home when the rain stops. Are you old enough? Do you have a wife? Do you have children? Hmm. You are gray, then I will name you Xiao Hui?"
Qiuqiu's naming skills are really bad to a certain extent. If the rabbit is black, it will definitely be called Xiaohei. If it is spotted, there is no doubt that it will be called Xiaohua.
The little gray rabbit whined in its throat and was in very bad spirits. The leg injury and heavy rain caused its body to lose its temperature and vitality, and it lay motionless on Qiuqiu's lap.
The rain lasted for most of the day before it started to lighten up, but it still continued to rain. The water in the river had risen a lot.
"It seems like someone is coming."
Chunyu stood up, and through the drizzle, Qiuqiu also saw someone brushing aside the reeds and walking towards them.
"It seems to be Senior Brother Lin and the others."
The leader was wearing a straw hat, and when they came closer, Qiuqiu recognized him. Sure enough, it was Lin Su.
"So you guys arrived a step early." Lin Su took off the straw hat and said with a smile: "Why are you alone? Where are the guards? Why is Miss Jingqiu here?"
Qiuqiu hugged the rabbit and greeted him: "Brother Lin."
"Why aren't you with the young master?" Lin Su was surprised and looked around.
What does Qiuqiu say about this? Everyone seems to think that she should be with Shier.
But seeing Lin Su and the others, Qiuqiu couldn't help but feel a little worried. Lin Su and the others had already arrived. But where was Shi'er? Why hadn't he arrived here to join the others?
There was heavy fog hanging over the river, and the air was so humid that it made people feel heavy.
Qiuqiu hugged the rabbit. Her fingertips were cold and even trembled slightly.
"We are temporarily separated."
Lin Su smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, the young master will be fine."
Qiuqiu nodded.
Lin Su pointed at the rabbit and asked her: "What's going on?"
Ke Ren has already greeted him with a smile, greeted his fellow disciples, and asked them about their experiences along the way. It was the first time for these young people to come to the trial cave, and they were curious about everything.
Lin Su and the others came in the opposite direction to Guanwei and the others, and the journey was not very peaceful. They encountered some troubles and were forced to take a long detour, so they arrived one day later than them.
As the rain gradually weakened, Qiuqiu looked at the rabbit in her arms. Its body was much warmer than before, and it was rubbing Qiuqiu's fingers with its nose.
Qiuqiu came out of the hayloft with the rabbit in her arms. She wanted to send it back.
The place where I met it yesterday should not be far from here.
Qiuqiu looked around, and saw thick fog spreading from the river to the shore, and everything around turned into a light milky white.
"This is your home, right? Is there anyone at home waiting for you to come back?"
Qiuqiu fiddled with its ears and stepped forward.
After the heavy rain, the reeds look like a group of defeated soldiers, looking very embarrassed, with reed flowers and fallen leaves scattered everywhere.
"Can you go back by yourself?" Qiuqiu bent down and put it on the ground. It dragged the injured leg forward two steps and turned back.
Qiuqiu followed it, watching it move forward bit by bit. Although it was slow and difficult, it had no intention of giving up.
Maybe someone was really waiting for it at home, so it was struggling to walk back even though it was hurt by the heavy rain just now.
Qiuqiu remembered the first time she saw Dabai, when this spiritual rabbit went to the temple to steal things. It knew some worldly things and must have known that being caught would not end well, but for the sake of Erbai and his unborn child, it
All you can do is make a desperate move.
Look, even Rabbit knows how to care, but what about Shi'er? He must be more capable than Rabbit, right? He hasn't found her yet, so incompetent.
Qiuqiu decided to make fun of him when they met.
The rabbit got into the grass nest in front.
Qiuqiu stopped.
Is this it?
It had arrived home, and she had settled her worries.
"What are you doing here?"
Qiuqiu turned her head. The guard was so elusive that Qiuqiu didn't hear anything. She didn't know whether he followed her or met him here by chance.
"Brother Guan, Brother Lin and the others are here too. They asked about you just now."
The guard turned his head and glanced towards the river beach. He heard voices. There were five or six people in Lin Su's group, so the noise was certainly not small. I don't know what they were talking about, but bursts of laughter could be heard through the thick fog.
Voice.
Qiuqiu felt something move slightly at her feet. She lowered her head. The rabbit just now emerged from the long grass again and clung to her feet.
"Do you still want to eat?" Qiuqiu bent down and touched its ears.
The guard came over and stood beside her without making a sound.
The rabbit opened its mouth and bit the corner of her sleeve. Qiuqiu smiled, flicked its forehead, and pulled out the sleeve: "This is not for food."
She lowered her head and dug into her sleeves. When she took out the rabbit food, the rabbit pounced forward and disappeared into the grass.
"Small gray?"
Qiuqiu looked into the grass. Why did this little guy run away?
She turned to look at the guard - she couldn't be scared away by him.
This man is full of evil spirits, even rabbits are afraid of him.
She put the handful of rabbit food on the stone, clapped her hands and stood up: "Let's go back."
The guard stood still and looked behind her.
Qiuqiu was a little strange and turned around to look: "What's wrong?"
The fog gradually dissipated, but behind them were no reeds and river beaches. The swaying reeds seemed to fade and disappear as the fog faded. A bridge appeared behind them.
The bridge is extremely long, but very narrow. There are no bridge railings on both sides, and the other end of the bridge is still in the fog, so it is difficult to see where the other side is.
Qiuqiu glanced at the guard in surprise.
"This is……"
Could this be the entrance to the second floor?
They searched here several times but found nothing. Such a bridge could be seen by anyone with good eyesight. They had passed by it several times before. There was nothing here.
How could this bridge appear out of thin air?
Judging from the guard's expression, he didn't understand what was going on at all.
"Is this the entrance?"
The guard glanced at her with a somewhat complicated expression.
He nodded.
"Then, let's go back quickly and tell Brother Lin and the others."
The guard stretched out his hand to stop her.
"If they can't get through, we can't go back."
"What?"
"Can you still hear them?"
Qiuqiu noticed something strange after being reminded by the guard.
Just now they could still hear talking and laughing in the distance, but now it was silent and they couldn't hear anything.
"Master said that not everyone can find this entrance. Others can find it. And once you see the passage to the second floor, you can't go back to the first floor."
This rule is really overbearing.
Qiuqiu tried to leave. She found that the guard was right.
No matter how she walked, she was always swirling in the mist and could never get out.
She turned around and looked at the bridge.
"Then... we have to cross the bridge?" Qiuqiu asked a little uneasily: "We, Shi'er... and Chun Yu Keren and the others, can we meet again?"
"If they can get to the second floor, they may still meet."
It's just possible, not certain.
Qiuqiu doesn’t want to move forward ten thousand times.
She wanted to go back, she wanted to wait for Shi'er. But, she couldn't go back now.
Why hasn't Shi'er arrived here?
Even if the two of them have a good understanding of each other, Qiuqiu's heart is still hanging on, and she can't always put it into practice.
Now she just crosses the bridge.
The guard walked silently behind her, which made Qiuqiu feel a little more at ease.
If it was just her, she might not dare to go forward.
There was also thick fog under the bridge, and the sound of water could be vaguely heard. Qiuqiu looked down, but couldn't see anything. She didn't know how deep the deep stream under the bridge was. Looking at it for a moment longer, Qiuqiu felt dizzy.
He quickly pulled his head back.
"Be careful." the guard warned her.
Qiuqiu turned around and asked: "What will happen if...it falls?"
The guard glanced at her, as if he was surprised that she asked such a question.
Qiuqiu also felt that she had no reason to ask.
Although there are no railings on both sides of the bridge, how can someone who can walk up here lose his footing from the bridge? It is impossible for someone to fall.
This question is really a bit stupid.
The guard's face remained expressionless, and it was hard to tell whether he was laughing at her in his heart.
probably not.
Although this person has an unpleasant temper, he is still very honest in his actions.
The bridge was not too long. Qiuqiu counted a hundred steps before they reached the other end of the bridge.
Did you get to the second floor so easily?
Qiuqiu's palms were slightly sweaty. She reached out and grasped the wish-fulfilling ring hanging around her neck, as if she could get faith and strength from it. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
