"Mayberry?"
Suddenly hearing Mei You's voice, Mei Bei turned around and saw Mei You standing not far away. Also, Mei Bei could clearly see the mud under her feet.
Looking in the direction, Meiyou had just come down from the mountain, but he looked very embarrassed.
"Sister, why are you coming down from the mountain at this time?"
After Mei Bei was stunned for a moment, she looked at Mei You and suddenly frowned and asked, "Didn't you tell me two days ago not to go up the mountain these two days? It's slippery in rainy days."
"That's for you."
Mayberry: "..."
"Even if you, sister, are talented and brave, look at your feet now. It's quite embarrassing for you to go up the mountain. You should also pay attention to your safety."
Following Mei Berry's words, Mei You lowered his head and saw the mud spots on his clothes, and smiled.
Mei You shook his head and asked: "What about you? What are you doing standing here? Do you want to go up the mountain too?"
"No, it's already this time. I'm letting the mules go here~"
Mayberry explained, turning around to look for Luo.
I turned around and looked, hey~
She didn't know when the mule boy ran to the place where she had just suspected someone was, and was pointing its butt up and down against the trunk of a thick tree nearby. The eye-catching gesture was mixed with the mule boy's ecstatic grunt.
It can be seen that this wave of tickling is very satisfying for the mule boy.
But it also hurt Mayberry's eyes.
Mayberry didn't know why she saw an ecstatic expression on a mule's face, but Mayberry also confirmed that the old bark was probably quite strong.
It’s just that her mule boy can pay attention to his image!
As the saying goes, you know your age at the age of three. Mei Berry is worried that her mule will be with him for the rest of his life if he doesn't pay attention to his obscene temperament_(：3 ∠)_
"Pfft~ This mule really knows how to enjoy it."
Unlike Mei Mei who was extremely embarrassed, Mei You was immediately amused when she saw the mule boy like this.
"Ahem, sister, the weather is getting better soon. Can we go up the mountain together someday?"
Mayberry sheepishly changed the subject and looked away from the mule cub.
"The honeysuckle in the mountains has not yet bloomed at this time, so I can just pick a few~"
The system didn't tell me when to check in for several days. It only said that it would notify me in advance. It all happened on the mountain anyway, so Meiberry simply took the initiative.
She personally asked the heroine to go up to the mountain to "do something", so that's okay, right?
"It's been slippery in the mountains these days, so it's better to wait for a while."
This time Mei You didn't even promise a specific time with Mei Bei. After hearing this, Mei Bei just stared at Mei You and asked: "What about you? I won't go up the mountain these days, what about you? You have to go up the mountain these days?" "
"Depending on the situation, I don't want to take any chances."
Meiyou said this without any guilt, and Meibei didn't feel that the heroine meant to lie.
However, because of her serious inquiry, Mei You was also a little suspicious and asked: "Why are you so concerned about me going up the mountain?"
"Because I want to go up the mountain, but I don't dare to be alone... I have to ask an expert~"
Mei Bei laughed naively. Fortunately, she had been in contact with Mei You for a long time now, so she was not as afraid and guilty as she was at first when making excuses.
"So, listen to me and go up the mountain again after some time."
"Ah, if it's later, wouldn't it be impossible to collect honeysuckle at all?"
After saying that, Mayberry put on a small face and looked like she only cared about Honeysuckle.
However, only Meiberry knew in her heart that caring about Honeysuckle was just for the sake of convenience. She was more worried that the heroine asked her not to go up the mountain recently and deal with the problem alone.
"The temperature in the mountains is lower than you think. After a while, when the ground is almost dry, I will take you to a higher place. There are many honeysuckles up there."
When Mei You saw Mei Bei's face slumped and her mood depressed, she unexpectedly softened her voice to comfort Mei Bei.
Meiberry naturally noticed this, and her whole body started to feel happy just because of this sentence.
[System, the heroine actually coaxed me! 】
system:【……】
[Oh my god, how could I be so virtuous and capable? I remember that the male protagonists didn’t get this kind of treatment, right? ! 】
system:【……】
What exactly is its host doing?
"It's getting late. Let's go back first. It won't be safe at the foot of the mountain for a while."
Seeing that Mei Berry's mood had improved visibly, Mei You reminded her loudly, "Go and call the mule boy back, and let's go back together."
"Okay~"
Mayberry nodded obediently and turned to call the mule boy.
When they got under the tree over there, Meiberry paused inconspicuously as she approached the mule cub.
Immediately afterwards, Mei You heard Mei Berry standing not far away, seeming to criticize the mule kid. In the end, Mei Berry even reached out and slapped the mule kid on the butt.
The angry mule boy raised his voice twice and then performed a "Qin King walks around the pillar" with Mei Mei.
Mei You: "..."
Under Mei You's speechless and choked gaze, Mei Berry, who finally came up to Mei You again, was just like a stupid dog that had not been exercised all year round and was suddenly panting from exhaustion while chasing ducks one day.
"Let's go~"
After Meiyou stared at Meiberry for a while, she finally sighed helplessly in her heart.
When they reached the separate intersection, Meiyou stared at Meiberry walking away uneasily before turning around and leaving.
[System, is the heroine not looking at me now? 】
When she felt the gaze behind her disappear, Mayberry stopped abruptly.
The muleboy noticed Mayberry's movement and stopped.
[No, she has gone home. 】
【Um. 】
After confirming that Meiyou was indeed staring at him earlier, Meiberry's usually innocent little face showed a rare gloomy look.
Then maybe her feeling at the foot of the mountain was not wrong...
"What!! There's already someone there?"
At night, after dinner, the family lay on the kang.
Mei Bei suddenly said that she found out that someone was following Mei You, and she discovered it by accident, which shocked her parents.
"Well, to be honest, I was shocked when I found out."
Lying on the kang, Mei Pei hugged Fat Hu and recalled that when she called Mule Zai in the evening, she noticed an unusual mark beside Mule Zai.
The weeds in that area were lying in the turbid muddy water, looking out of place with the rain-soaked but vigorously growing similar ones around them.
Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to understand at a glance that there should have been something standing there before, such as a person.
Mayberry even took a special look at the mule's body. The mule's body was very clean, and there were no traces like it had sat down.
But having said that, Mayberry really noticed a mud mark on the mule's butt.
It's just that the mark is not that big.
Meiberry was shocked again after scanning the surroundings!
She discovered that the mud on the mule's butt did not come from the ground, but from the tree trunk.
God knows how horrifying the images flashed through Mayberry's mind at that time.
The "thing" standing on a piece of mud as big as before would definitely not disappear out of thin air, but there was indeed no trace of movement around it.
At this time, if we think about the soft and dry mud on the tree trunk, doesn't it mean that the person who was standing on the muddy ground not long ago is now in the tree? !
Realizing the suspicion that there might be someone above her head, Mei Berry suppressed the fear in her heart and didn't suddenly scream out.
But soon she felt another gaze from above her head. Because she didn't dare to raise her head, Meiberry could only pretend to be calm under the other person's gaze, but Meiberry, who was nervous in her heart, still couldn't hold back. He made a small movement subconsciously.
She raised her hand and patted the mud off the mule's butt.
It wasn't a big deal at first, but who knew that the mule boy would actually get angry with him.
After walking around the tree with her for several times, Mei Berry didn't want to experience the feeling of being stared at by others in the cold wind all the time!
It wasn't until she left the tree that the gaze left her body.
But Mei Berry knew that she was not the target of the gaze at the beginning.
Thinking back to the fact that Meiyou happened to appear when she first felt that gaze, what else could Meiyou not guess?
"I don't know if the heroine herself felt that she was being followed. After all, I noticed a little bit... It's impossible for her not to see it, right?"
As she said that, she felt sleepy, Meiberry turned over with a grunt and fell into a deep sleep.
Before falling asleep, she was looking forward to the good news that the system would bring her the check-in the next day...
Ahhhh, I'm finally back. I've been sitting on the high-speed train all afternoon. It's not convenient to type on my mobile phone. My thoughts are always interrupted, but it's more comfortable to type on a computer~~
