The cold mountain spring water flowed out of the leather water bag, soaking the towel.
Shu Huan wiped the girl's face with a wet towel, and a delicate and childish face appeared under the mud, which looked about the same age as Gu Xihe.
The girl no longer struggled, but she would still shrink subconsciously when someone approached her. Only her eyes stared at a straw basket beside the fire without blinking, and there were half-eaten leftovers in it. Roast rabbit.
Shu Huan sighed secretly, could it be that this girl approached them quietly in the middle of the night again and again, just looking for an opportunity to steal something to eat? What kind of thing happened to make a ten-year-old child wander alone in the mountains and starve into such a skinny appearance
Just thinking about it, I saw that Ji Danqing had already taken out the rabbit meat from the straw basket and put it on the fire to roast. Within a moment, the meat was fragrant.
In fact, grilling food at night is a very dangerous thing. No one knows whether it will lead to some hungry beasts. But in summer, when everything grows, food is abundant, and there is a fire in front of us, the probability of such a thing happening It was very small, so Du Qiu just frowned slightly and didn't stop him.
Shu Huan clearly saw from the side that the moment the smell of meat wafted up, the girl's eyes lit up, and the flames of hunger and longing were beating inside. Holding back, I reached out to snatch the roasted rabbit meat from Ji Danqing's hand.
Gu Xiran quickly slapped her hand away, and softly reprimanded: "Aren't you afraid of burning your hands?"
The girl bit her lip and glanced at him. She said nothing, but her eyes showed seven points of disappointment and three points of anger, like a small animal whose food was taken from its mouth, and almost bared its teeth and claws. roared at Gu Xiran.
Gu Xiran smiled: "You want to bite me?"
As he spoke, he took the roasted rabbit meat from Ji Danqing, shook it in front of her and said, "Tell me your name, where is your home, and why you stay in the mountains alone, and then you can eat it." .”
The girl looked at the roasted rabbit meat with salivation in her eyes, but when she looked at Gu Xiran again, it turned into hatred, and finally turned her head away, still biting her lips tightly, refusing to say a word. She has been like this from the beginning, no matter what people ask, she refuses to answer, this time she even refused the food she craves, and she doesn't know what unspeakable pain is hiding in her heart.
"Don't bully children." Shu Huan sighed again: "She doesn't want to say it, so just wait."
After saying that, he looked down and saw the girl wrung her hands tightly, and pulled her over to wash her with the water in the leather water bag.
The water that came out was turbid and greasy like oil. Her hands were several times dirtier than her face, and her nails were full of black dirt. It was difficult to wash it off for a while, so Shu Huan had to do whatever she could to wash it for her. After washing, he handed the roasted rabbit meat to her.
The freshly roasted rabbit meat was a little hot, but the girl ignored it and opened her mouth to bite, her teeth exposed, shining brightly under the firelight.
Gu Xihe looked at her eating with a frown, and muttered: "Why are you like a wolf..."
It's really like a bad wolf, half a roasted rabbit was devoured by her in less than a moment, even some fragile bones were chewed to pieces and swallowed together with the meat, just like that, she still couldn't get enough of it , while licking his fingers, he turned his head and looked around, trying to see if there was anything else to eat.
She must have been hungry for a long time like this, she shouldn't eat too greasy food, let alone eat too much. Shu Huan handed Du Qiu the leather water bag that was filled again: "You can't eat any more, drink some water first."
The girl glanced at her, and continued to search with her eyes unwilling to give up, until she found that there was really no food to eat here, then took the leather water bag in disappointment, raised her head and poured all the water into her stomach, until she was so full that she was hit hard. Shui Hiccup, just now shed the wolf-like gluttony, and returned to a quiet look, sitting shyly by the fire, watching them vigilantly.
"Hey..." Gu Xihe pointed at her with the branch that pokered the fire: "You are full, can you talk?"
The girl ignored him, lowered her head and didn't even look at him.
Gu Xihe was a little annoyed: "What, it seems that we are villains trying to plot something wrong with you. We gave you something to eat, but we asked you a few words and refused to answer."
The girl lowered her head even lower, she just refused to speak anyway.
Ji Danqing looked at the clothes on her body, shook her head and said: "She has probably been alone in the mountains for several months, and she still wears the jacket in early spring."
As he said that, he leaned over and said softly: "Little girl, let me see if you are hurt, okay?"
Ji Danqing is a gentle and jade-like person, and his words usually give people a sense of peace and tranquility. No matter whether he is seen from the head to the feet or from the feet to the head, no one will classify him as a villain. But when the girl heard him speak, instead of losing her vigilance, she grabbed her clothes tightly and moved back. Her raised eyes were full of fear and disgust, which made people feel cold.
In this way, I can't ask anything for the time being.
Shu Huan thought for a while and said, "Forget it, you guys go to sleep, I'll take care of her."
She had called herself older sister to the girl earlier, revealing her identity as a woman, so the girl was a little more accepting of her approach, and did not show such strong resentment and resistance.
Gu Xiran frowned and said, "You've been on guard for half the night, can you hold on?"
"It's okay, I'll wake you up when you're really sleepy."
As Shu Huan spoke, he slowly reached out and held the girl's hand. He felt her body tremble, but he managed to resist the struggle, so he didn't speak, and sat beside the fire with her.
When Gu Xihe was lying down, he made a face at the girl, but Gu Xiran knocked on the head, so he had to lie down obediently and close his eyes. But there is a strange and mysterious girl in the camping place, he feels very excited, how can he sleep? From time to time, he would secretly glance at the girl, and if he accidentally met her gaze, he would frown, give her a hard look, and deliberately slap the front of his nose with his hands, with a disgusted look on his face, It was clearly embarrassing for the girl's filth and stink.
Of course the girl would not pay attention to him, she just lowered her head and bit her lip silently.
Shu Huan couldn't bear to see it any longer, and extended her middle finger towards Gu Xihe in a very unladylike manner, her contempt was very obvious. However, Gu Xihe didn't care about being despised by others, and asked her excitedly: "Second sister-in-law, what do you mean by stretching your middle finger?"
…
Shu Huan didn't expect him to ask aloud, so she was embarrassed for a moment, and then saw Gu Xiran reach out, pressed Gu Xihe's head to the ground, and warned him viciously: "It means, if you don't sleep, tomorrow you will sleep." Leaving you alone in the mountains to feed wild wolves"
This explanation...
No matter how embarrassed Shu Huan was, he looked at the sky speechlessly, but he didn't notice that the corners of the little girl's lips curled up slightly, and the hand that she had been forced to hold tightly but clenched into a fist stretched a little.
