In order to demonstrate his professionalism, this time Gu Laosan took the initiative to offer to keep watch.
Of course, he had no choice but to keep it, because there was only one tent. Men and women were not allowed to touch each other, unless he wanted to sleep in the car with a badger. But for now, he didn't dare to do that.
At this time, there was a big swelling on the back of Gu Laosan's head. If Wang Ping hadn't held back, his head would have been split open. But even so, he would occasionally gasp for air and grimace in pain.
"Is it because my attitude was not sincere enough? Or is it because I hit the nail on the head and he got angry out of shame?"
Sitting by the campfire on the small stool that had just been used to beat himself, a certain anchor fell into deep thought.
"It's so hard to guess what a badger is thinking~"
…
The moon is above the treetops, and people are meeting... Well, it's rare to have good weather at night. Occasionally, there are clouds in the sky, and the big moon illuminates the valley. The lakes and pools of various sizes on the ground reflect the moonlight. At a glance, everywhere is shining with a faint silver light.
From time to time, there was a crackling sound in the bonfire, and sparks flew out and were quickly extinguished in the night wind.
Someone was probably thinking too hard and fell asleep. At this time, Gu Lang sat on the mat with his head down, snoring with his mouth open, and the sound could be heard far away under the night sky. Occasionally, because his head was too low, his body suddenly fell towards the campfire, and the snoring would stop abruptly, replaced by someone's dazed panting.
Only at this time would Gu Laosan remember to add a few more branches to the campfire, and then continue thinking about things. Slowly, under the night sky, snoring sounds were heard again.
After midnight, the temperature suddenly began to cool down.
The flames of the bonfire began to decrease. Gu Lang, who had almost dove into it again, woke up with a start. He bent over and felt around, only to find that the spot next to him was empty. The branches he had picked up had been burned out. So someone sighed and got up to pick up some more.
At this time, the zipper on the tent made a sound, and Yuan Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain and crawled out.
Seeing Gu Lang looking at her blankly, Yuan Xiaoxiao smiled, lifted her hair, and said softly, "Brother Gu, it's my turn to keep watch, you go to sleep!"
"Well, there's no more firewood. I'll go get some more. Or you can sleep for a while?" Gu Lang said as he couldn't help but yawn again, causing Yuan Xiaoxiao to cover her mouth and laugh.
Taking a few steps forward, Yuan Xiaoxiao pulled Gu Lang's arm and pushed him towards the tent. She smiled and said, "Go to sleep! I'll go get the firewood! If you don't get enough sleep, I won't dare ride in your car tomorrow!"
Gu Lang yawned again, and he couldn't hold on any longer. He looked at the watch, it was exactly two o'clock in the morning, and he was secretly wondering why he felt so sleepy when he was playing games at home and didn't feel sleepy until dawn, but he felt so sleepy when he was outside.
Nodding, Gu Lang gave her a few more instructions, telling her to wake him up if she felt sleepy or to go directly to sleep in the car, and then he went into the tent.
Watching someone closing the door curtain inside, Yuan Xiaoxiao turned and walked towards the campfire. Just as she was about to sit down, she heard someone scream in pain.
"Brother Gu, are you okay?"
Yuan Xiaoxiao asked out loud.
After a while, Gu Laosan's slightly embarrassed voice came out: "It's okay, just a bump."
In the tent, Gu Lao San was lying in his sleeping bag with a frown on his face, breathing softly. When he lay down just now, he forgot that there was a big bump on the back of his head. As a result, as soon as his head touched the pillow, he almost cried out in pain. Someone secretly complained that it would be fine to beat him twice in the past, but why was he so cruel this time
Gu Lang certainly didn't expect that Wang Ping was trying to get him to give up some "unspeakable" thoughts. We can be brothers, but we can't have any other thoughts.
Outside the tent, Yuan Xiaoxiao remembered that someone had said that the firewood was gone, so she stood up from the stool and turned to walk into the wilderness.
This is the time when the moon is the biggest at night, so there is no need to worry about not being able to see it.
Although there are many water sources in the valley, it is full of gravel and the soil is shallow, so there are no tall trees. At most, there are some small bushes and sparse weeds.
After carefully picking and choosing some half-dried branches, I was about to walk a little further when I saw a pair of lightbulb-like eyes light up in the wilderness. Heavy breathing and footsteps were heard, and under the moonlight, a brown bear as big as a hill was walking slowly towards the river.
Yuan Xiaoxiao paused, her heart pounding. Seeing that the brown bear didn't seem to notice her, she began to lighten her steps and slowly backed away towards the campfire.
I don’t know whether it came out late at night because it was thirsty or looking for food. The brown bear walked along the river for a distance and stopped when it was close to the campfire, seeming a little afraid.
Yuan Xiaoxiao returned to the campfire and hurriedly added the dead branches she had picked up to the fire to make it burn more vigorously, while keeping an eye on the brown bear not far away. Seeing the brown bear stop but refuse to leave, Yuan Xiaoxiao frowned and looked at the horse herder who was parked next to the tent.
If the brown bear chooses to approach the campfire despite the threat, the most direct way to escape is to drive away immediately.
"Should we wake up this anchor? Or use him to block it?"
While thinking, Yuan Xiaoxiao stood up and walked towards the car door, turning her head to look at the surrounding terrain, looking for the best escape route.
When I came to the door of the cab and was about to reach out to open the door, I heard a slight "bang" sound from the door lock and it was suddenly locked.
"Um?"
She reached out and pulled twice, but it wouldn't open. Yuan Xiaoxiao turned her head in surprise, thinking that Gu Lang had woken up.
There was still no one behind him, only the brown bear in the distance was staring at this place.
"Brother Gu? Brother Gu?"
Yuan Xiaoxiao shouted twice in a low voice, followed by the crackling sound of the fire on the other side. The camp was silent and no one answered.
She turned around the front of the car, and before she got close to the tent, she heard someone snoring from inside.
"… "
What's going on
Yuan Xiaoxiao was sure that the sound just now was the sound of locking the car, which meant that the car door had just been locked. Besides, since Gu Lang told her to sleep in the car if she couldn't hold on any longer, there was no reason for him to lock the car again.
"Is there something wrong with the car?"
Yuan Xiaoxiao had only seen cars whose doors unlocked as people approached them, but this was the first time she had ever seen a car whose doors locked as people approached them.
At this time, footsteps were heard, and the brown bear on the river bank came a few steps closer. Yuan Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, picked up a stone from the ground, and returned to the door of the cab.
Glancing in the direction of the tent, Yuan Xiaoxiao raised a stone and was about to smash it at the car window when she heard a slight vibration and the window lowered by itself.
Someone stood there in a daze, and then saw that behind the car window, a badger was staring at her expressionlessly with a pair of green night vision eyes.
"Oh…"
Yuan Xiaoxiao smiled self-deprecatingly, lowered her arm, and silently threw the stone back to the ground.
Of course she knew the flat-headed brother, and she was very familiar with the habits of this creature. It was a creature that could only be stroked by the hair and would not eat hard things.
One hand pulled out a palm-length dagger from the sleeve. With a bright smile on her face, Yuan Xiaoxiao slowly stretched her other hand towards Wang Ping's neck.
"Be good, Boss, don't move..."
