“Wow!”
The sound of water came from the woods. In the distance, a muntjac that was strolling over from a low hill on the southeast side to drink water suddenly stopped and listened to the sound coming from the woods.
"Wow, Sister Mengdie, you have such good skin~"
"Hey! Stop touching me! Come on, let's go back soon after we finish washing!"
"bass!"
The already timid muntjac turned around and ran away, making a crisp sound when it brushed against the bushes nearby.
"What's that sound?!"
In the distance, a girl's scream was heard in the forest, and the muntjac ran faster.
To the west, next to the freshwater puddle, there was a burning branch stuck in the ground. Behind a bush nearby, two little heads popped out from behind, looking at the woods where the noise came from. Unfortunately, it was pitch black inside and nothing could be seen.
"Sister Meng...Sister Mengdie, what did you hear?" Hu Li said weakly, "Don't scare me!"
"call…"
Li Mengdie frowned, exhaled, and said doubtfully: "Maybe I heard it wrongly. I seemed to hear something running past just now."
"ah…"
Hu Li's little hand immediately climbed onto Li Mengdie's shoulder, and she said tremblingly, "Sister Mengdie, I'm scared!"
"Oh, all right!"
Li Mengdie smiled bitterly, took someone's hand away, shook her head and said, "It might be some small animal. Let's finish washing and go back!"
"I, I, I...I don't want to wash anymore! Let's go back now!" said a little girl weakly.
Less than a hundred meters to the west of the puddle, in the tree hole of a red nan tree, Wang Ping covered his two trembling little ears, sat up with a grumpy look on his furry face.
"It's the middle of the night, are you going to let the badger sleep?"
But at this moment, a shrill cry was suddenly heard, as if the badger had seen a ghost. The badger was frightened and suddenly woke up.
"Fuck, why does it sound like a little fox's voice?"
Wang Ping quickly got up, crawled out of the tree hole, and rushed along the branches to the place where the sound came from.
From a distance, through the gaps between the branches in the forest, a ray of fire could be seen waving in front of him, and at the same time, Hu Li's crying voice could be heard. But then, it seemed to be interrupted by someone and stopped abruptly.
"Damn, did we run into some bad guys? Where did these bad guys come from on this island?"
Wang Ping rushed over the 100-meter distance in less than half a minute. He stopped on the crown of a camphor tree beside the puddle and saw the two women standing opposite him.
Li Mengdie stood in front of them with a torch in hand, as if she was confronting something. Hu Li hid behind her, covering her mouth with one hand and resting his other hand on her shoulder. The two of them kept retreating. But every few steps back, Li Mengdie would try to move forward, as if she wanted to use the torch to force something back.
After thinking for a while, Wang Ping turned around and climbed down the tree trunk, trotted around the puddle, came behind Hu Li, and patted her calf.
"ah!!!"
A scream that almost deafened a badger came out of Hu Li's mouth. Wang Ping was stunned for a moment and was actually startled by her first.
"Stop shouting! Don't let them hear it!" Li Mengdie shouted in front of her, her voice filled with anger and embarrassment.
Wang Ping suddenly felt strange. If she was in danger, why didn't she want to let the boys know
Seeing that Hu Li closed her eyes, covered her mouth tightly, and did not look back, Wang Ping curled his lips, did not even say hello, and ran straight past her legs.
However, after walking a few steps past the two people, Wang Ping stopped with a confused look on his face.
Opposite the two women, under the light of the fire, a brown pit viper more than one meter long was looking up and spitting its tongue out at the two of them. The snake had a spotted pattern with white outlines on its body, and two reddish-brown patterns were on either side of the snake's eyes, like eyebrows.
Although the badger had very little knowledge about snakes, it did not prevent him from recognizing that it was some kind of poisonous snake.
At this moment, there were two folded clothes under the snake. This probably explains why Li Mengdie did not retreat when she saw the poisonous snake, but even tried to move forward.
"Emm...snake..."
Wang Ping scratched his head and suddenly didn't want to help so much.
"Eh? Boss!!"
A voice of surprise and relief sounded behind him. Wang Ping subconsciously turned his head to look, then his face was stunned and he quickly turned back.
"Hey~~Brother, what the hell did I see?"
Wang Ping couldn't see clearly because Hu Li was blocking him. But when he looked back, Li Mengdie was standing in front of him naked. Although the forest was dark, even with a torch in Li Mengdie's hand, she could only see her face clearly. But don't forget that the badger's eyes have built-in night vision function.
"Amitabha, form is emptiness, emptiness is form..." a badger muttered to himself.
"Boss? Where are you? Where are you?"
Hu Li, who was hiding behind Li Mengdie, quickly opened his eyes and looked over Li Mengdie's shoulder to see a badger standing in front of them, turning its head away.
“Woo…” The little girl suddenly burst into tears. Her voice sounded so aggrieved, like a child who had fallen down and suddenly saw her parents.
"Boss... Woohoo, there's a snake! It's occupying Sister Mengdie's clothes!"
The girl felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and if you didn’t know, you would think that it was she who was “running naked” at the moment.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Li, the flat-headed fox loves to eat poisonous snakes. You'll be fine with it around!" Li Mengdie patted Hu Li's shoulder to comfort him, and looked at a badger. Just as he was about to speak, he heard footsteps behind him, and Gu Lang's voice rang out in the forest.
"Li Mengdie? Hu Li? Are you okay?"
Hu Li's screams were almost inaudible by the time they reached the camp. But a bored man was strolling to the edge of the woods and heard a sound, so he hurried over to check.
He knew that the two women came over to take a shower, so he asked before getting closer.
"Don't come over here yet!"
Li Mengdie shouted hurriedly, urging a badger: "Boss, hurry up..."
"Tsk, I really don't want to help..."
Wang Ping was somewhat reluctant. He didn't even have a weapon at hand, and Wang Ping could foresee that he would be bitten if he went forward.
"Boss..."
Hu Li, crying with tears in her eyes, pouted her lips and urged him repeatedly with a wronged look.
"Forget it, just consider it as a good deed..."
Wang Ping hesitated and reluctantly took a few steps closer to the viper, silently repeating "You can't see me, you can't see me" in his heart. When he was within one meter, he flipped his claws and pounced directly to the position one inch below the snake's head. As long as he could pinch the snake's head, he might be able to avoid being bitten.
In the light of the fire, the two women saw a flash of a badger, and then it rolled into the darkness along with the snake.
“Here!”
Li Mengdie turned around and handed the torch to Hu Li, then hurriedly took the clothes and shook them a few times before putting them on. After she was dressed, she took the torch and said to Hu Li, "Let's go, let's go back quickly."
"Walk?"
The little girl still had tears on her face. She looked at Li Mengdie blankly and asked weakly, "We don't care about the boss anymore?"
"That's a black-browed viper! Extremely poisonous! Flatheads are not afraid of it, but if we get bitten, we're done for!" Li Mengdie frowned and said, "We have to remind them when we get back."
"But… "
The girl thought for a long time but couldn't explain it, but she always felt that it was very disloyal to just leave like that.
Just as he was struggling with this, he saw a long black shadow suddenly emerge from behind the bushes opposite and fall right on the head of Li Mengdie who was facing away.
"ah!!!"
Two screams, many times more tragic than the previous ones, suddenly rang out from the woods.
