In the second half of the night, the haze wind in the valley gradually weakened, and it was no longer so cold. The small fire trembled slightly in the night wind, and the bright moonlight shone through the thin clouds on the flat ground between the mountains. Because a mountain body was particularly recessed, a shadow fell.
And Jing Xia and the others were standing under this shadow, surrounded by the fire, and no one spoke. Only the flames burned quietly in the air, crackling and crackling from time to time, breaking the silence with one sound.
Jing Xia stared at the small mung bean-sized eyes for a long time, and the more he looked, the more he felt that the little guy's eyes were completely naked, with wicked eyebrows, and a wretched appearance. Facing his old waist that was still sore, Jing Xia was the first to speak out: "Whatever the reason why it came to sneak attack us, tie a big rock and throw it away."
Ji Chuancheng raised his eyes: "It's a sneak attack on you."
Jing Xia curled her lips: "I don't care, anyway, this little thing is really disgusting. Otherwise, just tie it to a big rock and leave it in the sun for a few days and nights."
The soreness in her waist is nothing compared to the frustration in her heart. Every time Jing Xia sees this little black ball, she can think of the strain on her lower back. He who even killed an S-level mutant, unexpectedly... was defeated by such a little thing who didn't even seem to have any lethality, and I'm afraid no one even wanted to rank him!
It's a great shame!
Hearing this, Ji Chuancheng raised his head and glanced at Jing Xia quietly, then looked at Qin Chu silently, and said, "Get some Morinda officinalis meat."
Qin Chu spread his hands helplessly: "I'm all for the little bastard."
Seeing Ji Chuan's cold eyes looking at him, Jing Xia subconsciously took a step back and covered his chest, and said firmly and righteously: "Don't look at me, I won't give this little thing to eat." He has no appetite for the dry Morinda officinalis meat, but as long as he would rather swallow it than feed this little thing.
Seeing Jing Xia's suddenly self-willed appearance again, Ji Chuancheng sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and habit mixed in his tone: "If it didn't come from the Morinda officinalis meat, then we might carry something that can attract mutant beasts. Jing Xia, take it out."
Hearing the other party's full name and full surname, emphatically calling his own name, Jing Xia naturally understood the seriousness of the matter. Ji Chuancheng's worries are not unreasonable. Although he has never seen anything that can attract mutant beasts in later generations, it does not mean that there is no such thing.
Jing Xia reluctantly took out the small packet of Morinda officinalis meat from her pocket, and before handing it to Ji Chuancheng, she saw the little black ball struggling alive.
The four short and thick legs kept kicking in the air, and the two small eyes shone brightly, fixedly staring at the dried yellow Morinda officinalis meat in the transparent bag. Even though Ji Chuancheng's two fingers held the little black ball tightly like the strongest chains, it still did not give up and tried to dance its small fleshy body, and its slender tail was swinging in the air.
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp!!!"
mine mine! It's all mine! ! ! !
This time, there is no need to take out the Morinda officinalis meat, just looking at the reaction of this little thing, everyone is sure that this little guy really came because of that seemingly inconspicuous bag of Morinda officinalis meat.
Touching her chin, Qin Chu came closer. She looked at the bag of Morinda officinalis meat for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion: "This bag of Morinda officinalis meat was cooked by myself. There is absolutely no problem in the processing process. The raw material of Morinda officinalis I went to buy it myself, and everything is normal. I have never heard that black-lined hamsters like to eat Morinda officinalis meat, so... the mutation direction of this little dumpling is too weird."
"Well, then don't worry about it." Jing Xia purposely carried the Morinda officinalis meat and stabbed it around in front of Xiao Hei Tuanzi, and then hid it in his pocket as quickly as possible. Hearing the little Hei Tuanzi's "chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi"
Before Jing Xia finished speaking, he saw Ji Chuancheng let go of his hand lightly, and the little black dumpling quickly ran away. The ghost moved as quickly as when it came, and disappeared into the grass in just a blink of an eye. After a few more scurryings, the shadow disappeared completely.
Jing Xia: "..."
Ji Chuancheng clapped his hands lightly, and said, "It's time to change shifts. Jing Xia, you go to rest first." His tone was calm and calm, as if he just patted the dust casually and didn't do anything.
Gritting her teeth and looking at that handsome face, since she was a child, Jing Xia has never noticed that this guy's face is so unbearable. Cracking her knuckles hard, Jing Xia sneered and said, "Ji Chuan Cheng!"
Seeing this scene, Steward Wang could only smile helplessly, then turned his head away. Qin Chu, on the other hand, was more accustomed to returning to the fire, and added a few dry logs to the flames that were about to go out.
Ji Chuancheng raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Jing Xia with a calm and calm gaze, and opened his thin lips lightly: "What's wrong?"
"Cough, it's nothing, you stay on duty at night. Haha." Seeing the familiar calm eyes, the monstrous flame that had just ignited in Jing Xia's heart was extinguished in an instant. Just like every time since he met this person, he rubbed the back of his head with a dry smile and said, "A Chuan, stay on watch at night, be careful of that... that mutant black-lined hamster is here to make trouble again."
Ji Chuancheng watched Jingxia walk to his sleeping bag expressionlessly, lay down in it, and put on the zipper. It wasn't until the sound of the young man's steady breathing came from the shadow covered by the light that he looked away, walked lightly to the fire and sat down.
The orange-yellow flames carried a warm and hot breath, sweeping away the coolness of the summer night in the mountains. Ji Chuan looked at the flying flames calmly, without speaking. However, the corners of the lips that were always tightly pursed seemed to be slightly raised, but under the cover of the night, even Qin Chu who was sitting beside Ji Chuancheng couldn't see clearly.
Just like every night in the past, Ji Chuancheng stood quietly beside the warm fire without saying a word.
And this night, the young man who was sleeping soundly behind him was still sleeping in an outrageous position.
Nothing seemed to have changed. As soon as it was dawn, a group of people simply packed up their things and quickly set out on the road. Ji Chuancheng stayed at the end, made a mark on the mountain with a hard and sharp dagger, and then followed the team.
Seemingly rushing on the road as usual, Qin Chu led the way, and Ji Chuan was behind. Jing Xia took out a small bag of Morinda officinalis meat given by Qin Chu last night while carrying a large bag that was gradually decreasing in weight. Although the taste of this thing is not very good, it can also be regarded as a little snack at this time, and it can be used as a pastime on the way.
"Do you want to eat?" Jing Xia turned around and looked at Ji Chuancheng, shaking the bag in her hand.
Ji Chuan shook his head.
This answer was completely expected by Jing Xia. He turned around indifferently, and raised his voice and asked, "Grandpa Wang, do you want to eat Morinda officinalis meat? It can relieve fatigue."
Qin Chu walked in the front. After hearing Jing Xia's words, she turned around and said with a smile, "By the way, little bastard, I forgot to tell you yesterday. This Morinda officinalis meat can also nourish kidney deficiency and treat premature ejaculation and impotence. You want Yes, it is also effective for cold infertility."
"..." Resisting the urge to smash this package on the ground, Jing Xia looked at Steward Wang and asked again: "Grandpa Wang, do you want to eat?"
Steward Wang smiled, reached out and took a slender piece of Morinda officinalis meat from the bag in Jing Xia's hand, and said, "Master, you eat it. Cough... the old man's body is fine, just don't get tired, cough cough... Seeing Jing Xia's worried expression, Steward Wang smiled kindly and said, "Don't worry, young master. I'm already feeling much better from this cold. It should be cured in a few days cough cough..."
Seeing Steward Wang trying to suppress his cough, Jing Xia's brows gradually frowned. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a familiar "cheep" sound from the other side of the path.
"Chick! Chick! Chick!"
Jing Xia: "..."
I saw a pair of small black eyes shining stealthily at the place covered by green grass and jagged rocks, staring at the small bag of Morinda officinalis meat in Jing Xia's hand without even turning the eyeballs. Jing Xia silently swallowed her saliva, and before she could react, she saw that black shadow rush towards him with a "whoosh", the speed was so fast, without the obstruction of the light, it was even more frightening.
The two stubby legs at the back kicked the ground suddenly, and the little black ball rushed towards the bag in Jing Xia's hand.
The corners of her lips curled up, and Jing Xia easily and simply turned sideways, allowing the black group to escape.
"Chichi?!"
Blinking the little mung bean's eyes, the strength of Hei Tuanzi's kicking off the ground was finally exhausted when he flew to the highest place. This little thing is very smart, there is a cliff one or two meters away, so it is impossible for the little guy to rush out foolishly. It just happened to be calculated and jumped to the position of the left hand of this hateful human being, and then cleverly borrowed a force from this human's hand, and it could escape perfectly!
"Chichi QAQ?!"
Why is everything different from what was said!
The body was still in free fall in the air, but Xiao Hei Tuanzi had already closed his teary eyes. It can already be expected - how another hateful human being will pinch it between the fingers of Mr. Mouse!
After the falling sound was so slight that it could be ignored, Xiao Hei Tuanzi opened his small eyes again in surprise and blinked.
"Chichi?"
Not the human who pinched its feet...
"This little thing is really light, young master." Steward Wang held the mutated black-lined hamster with his palms up, and said with a smile: "Young master, this little thing has no malicious intentions, why don't you just let it live."
"Grandpa Wang..." Jing Xia looked at Butler Wang's kind smile. He was already suffering because of this old man, but now that the other party actually made such a simple request to him, he couldn't think of rejecting it at all. "Okay, let it go."
Steward Wang smiled and nodded, then put the little black dumpling in the heart of his right hand, took a piece of Morinda officinalis meat that he just took from Jingxia in his left hand, and brought it to the little black dumpling: "Do you like this very much?" ?”
The mutated black-lined hamster was taken aback for a moment.
"Chichi?"
"Chi Chi!!!"
When it saw the Morinda officinalis meat delivered to its mouth, it immediately picked it up and ran away, disappearing into the dense grass within two strokes.
Jing Xia snorted coldly: "Heartless little thing."
Ji Chuancheng looked thoughtfully at the overgrown place, then turned his head and said, "Go on."
Jing Xia was depressed and had no choice but to continue on her way.
No one seemed to have noticed that, in the seemingly peaceful and calm grass, a small fleshy thing rushed out sharply, and stopped in the middle of the path. It stood up, and the two short legs miraculously supported the entire fat body. There was a suspicious light in those small eyes, and the little black ball scratched his head with his paws...
"Chichi?"
