The dusk is getting darker and darker, and the red clouds on the horizon are slowly burning like waves of fire in the night wind.
"So slow."
Bai Buai sat on the hillside, mentally appraising the distance between Hongyun and frowning.
At this rate, it will take four or five days before the red clouds reach overhead.
I don’t know what happened to Detective Li and the others.
When the red cloud came, it turned out that he returned to two years later alone, and then he started playing Dafa.
"Are you worried about your companions?"
They both sat side by side next to the man and asked crisply.
Bai Buai nodded, turned to look at the girl and said, "It's already very late, why don't you go home first."
"If I could go back, I would have gone back long ago."
The girl held her face in her hands, propped her elbows on her thighs, and sighed.
"What's wrong?"
Only then did Bai Buai realize the problem.
Shuangshuang left the Taoist temple very early before, but he met her again. Logically speaking, the girl should have gone down the mountain long ago.
"You shouldn't be...lost."
Seeing the distressed look on the girl's face, Bai Buai looked strange.
Both faces turned red, and they both muttered: "I originally planned to take a shortcut home along the path, but after detouring for a long time I couldn't find the way. In fact, now I can't even find the main road."
No wonder!
Bai BuAi suddenly realized.
He suddenly realized that the reason why both of them couldn't find their way out was probably because of their influence.
The monster white phoenix is about to come out.
And both of them accidentally entered Phoenix Mountain and met them by accident.
This made it impossible for the girl to go back.
Thinking of this, Bai Buai felt apologetic in his heart, and said softly and calmly: "Don't be afraid, you will go home soon, this place cannot trap us."
"what are you talking about."
Both of them couldn't understand each other's unspoken words, so they puffed up their cheeks and whispered,
"I'm not a child, why should I be afraid? I'm just worried about my aunt, but fortunately I have Aunt Zhang next door to help me watch. It should be fine if I go a little late.
Originally, I wanted to let you lead the way, but looking at you, you're no better than me. "
Bai Buai didn't explain the inside story. He smiled and said, "At least I can protect you."
Both of them pursed their lower lips slightly and said nothing.
Although the blush on her cheeks was not as bright as the red clouds in the sky, it still contained the innocence of a young girl.
Before I knew it, it was completely dark.
The two of them couldn't even find the Taoist temple, so they had to find a safer open space to rest.
Fortunately, both of them had basic skills in survival in the wild. Not only did they get bark, moss and hay to make a fire, but they also caught a few small fish from the river for dinner...
Looking at the busy girl, Bai Buai, who was following behind and trying to help but had nowhere to do anything, was embarrassed and felt like a waste.
In no time, a simple dinner was baked.
The taste of grilled fish is actually far inferior to that of restaurants.
But when Bai Buhai tasted it, it felt extremely delicious. It was not because he was hungry, but because the girl made it with her own hands.
What thickened in the stomach was a faint warmth.
"How is the taste?"
Both looked at him nervously.
Bai Buai praised it, "It's so delicious. I didn't expect you to have such good skills. You can even be a chef in a restaurant."
"boast."
The girl was a little embarrassed to be praised.
Seeing the man devouring it, she quickly reminded, "Eat slowly, be careful because there are thorns."
"Uh-huh."
Bai Buai nodded, tore off a piece of fish and handed it to the girl's mouth, "You can try it too."
Both hesitated for a moment and opened their mouths.
The moist and soft lips brushed the man's fingertips and bit the fish in his mouth.
She frowned and said dissatisfied: "The roast is very average and not that delicious at all. But my cooking skills are very good. Next time if you are free, you can come to my house as a guest. I will make delicious food for you. .”
"Really? We have to agree."
Bai Buai smiled brightly.
A few fish were quickly eaten, and more were eaten by the men.
Bai Buai wiped his mouth with unfinished feelings, looked at the fish bones beside him, and asked: "Are you full? How about I catch some for you?"
"I am full."
They both shook their heads and said teasingly, "Besides, if I ask you to catch it, I'm afraid you won't be able to see half of the fish next year."
Bai Buai blushed and didn't have the nerve to refute.
Late at night fell, the temperature in the wild dropped a lot, and the chill began to invade.
Even with the campfire, I still felt cold.
Bai Buai went nearby and folded some branches and put them aside. When he saw the girl yawning, he took off his coat and said, "You go to sleep first. This one can be used as a quilt."
"Put it on quickly, be careful not to catch a cold or get cold."
Shuangshuang said hurriedly, "I have been used to being cold since I was a child, and my body is not that delicate. On the contrary, a young master like you would be in trouble if he really catches a cold."
"It's okay, I'm not that delicate either."
Although he knew that the girl had good intentions, Bai Buai was still unhappy with the other party's "prejudice".
"It's not covered, right?"
Seeing that both of them were not moving, Bai Bu'ai, who had become stubborn, tried to throw the clothes on the fire, "Then burn them."
"Hey, are you crazy?"
The girl was startled and rushed over to snatch the clothes from the man's hand.
She glared at the man angrily, and the latter glared back. In the end, the girl was defeated and said angrily, "You deserve to freeze to death, you know how to show off your strength!"
She covered her body with her clothes and lay in the open space by the campfire with her back to the man.
He didn't even bother to talk.
The corners of Bai Buai's lips raised, with a victor's attitude.
But when the man fell asleep, the girl quietly got up and put her clothes on him.
————
When Li Nanke woke up, the woman in his arms was still asleep.
The dreamlike glow gently bathes the woman's beautiful white cheeks, and her thick and curved eyelashes are almost transparent, as if they are reflecting fireworks.
The setting sun outside the window has almost disappeared over the mountains, and the color is dim and pale.
They were still in the thatched hut.
It's just that compared to the tidiness and cleanness when we first arrived, the house in front of us now looks dilapidated and old.
Ash-filled cobwebs condensed in the corners of the room.
There were several large holes in the roof, and broken and sloping vegetation was hanging.
Li Nanke looked at all this blankly.
His brain gradually became clear from chaos, and the memories that had been sealed by layers of films were finally re-opened in his mind.
"A dream comes to life..."
Li Nanke murmured to himself, feeling indescribable in his heart.
Although he was awake, the emotions he had experienced in that life were truly imprinted in his bones and could not be erased or shaken off.
"Husband..."
Bai Ruyue slowly opened her beautiful eyes, a gentle voice came out of her teeth habitually, and a moving smile appeared on her delicate little face.
But then, the smile on the woman's face froze.
She blinked, and the surging familiar memory made the woman unable to recover for a while. She could only stare blankly at Li Nanke's face.
"We... had a dream."
Li Nanke didn't know how to explain all this, so he could only answer in the simplest way.
"Dream?"
Bai Ruyue nestled in the man's arms, looking confused.
For a long time, she sat up with her hands on the man's chest. After looking around the room, she stood up and walked out of the door.
The peach blossom forest outside the house has long been deserted, leaving only a few bare tree trunks.
Lakes have also dried up.
Only the withered tombstone was left standing alone.
