After Gu Huaiyu took a sip of hot tea slowly, he reminded, "You have worn four clothes."
Meng Xiaotao groaned and did not speak any more, but silently wrapped the quilt tighter, looking like a baby cicada pupa.
When Gu Huaiyu saw this, the corners of his lips curled up, and he couldn't help feeling a bit funny.
There was a crackling fire outside, because it was in a desert area, and a fire ditch was made deliberately. I am not afraid that these sparks will jump outside and cause a fire.
Putting down the book in his hand, looking at the fire outside the tent, there was still a weird whirring sound not too far from the small oasis, which was the sound produced when the wind blew and rolled the dust.
Gu Huaiyu glanced at the time, it was almost midnight, so he stepped forward and patted Meng Xiaotao on the head, and said, "Go to bed early."
Meng Xiaotao sniffed, shook her body and gave a hum, then buried herself deeper in the bed.
Seeing this, Gu Huaiyu smiled helplessly, and then asked someone to cover her with a quilt, which was better.
And she herself slept in the sleeping bag more casually, but she didn't close the sleeping bag particularly tightly, even holding the rope on the sleeping bag in her hands.
As long as there is a little movement, she will wake up immediately.
In such a daze, Gu Huaiyu also fell asleep.
Until a squeaking creak sounded.
The moment the sound rang, Gu Huaiyu immediately opened his eyes and looked out. There was no dimness in his eyes when he woke up, but a clear light.
The bonfire outside the tent has long been left with only a faint light, and it is estimated that it will be extinguished in a short time.
However, this faint light also made her see something.
It was a strangely-looking shadow, with its back facing their tent. It was a little tall, with its head slightly shrunk, and his hands flipped back and forth, as if something was eating in his hand.
The creaking sound kept ringing.
It sounded like a bone was easily crushed by someone, and then there was the sound of a sticky thing ticking and falling down, which sounded inexplicably creepy.
Gu Huaiyu even smelled the rust in the air, which was very strong.
The thickness also made her a little excited.
Her eyes lit up slightly, and the corners of her lips twitched upwards. Suddenly, she felt that she was also a little hungry.
At this moment, the sleepy Meng Xiaotao rubbed his eyes, muttered in his mouth and asked, "Boss Gu, how are you..."
Before she finished speaking, Gu Huaiyu directly blocked her mouth with his hand, and at the same time made a silent gesture to her.
Meng Xiaotao was initially blank, but when she looked at the shadow outside the tent, she immediately understood.
Then immediately said that he would stay quiet.
However, their movements were still heard by the guy outside.
It stopped the movement in its hands, and the head that had fallen slightly was also slowly raised, as if it was listening carefully to the source of the sound just now.
After the guy outside raised his head, Gu Huaiyu found that his head was very strange.
She didn't know if it was the cause of the fire, she suddenly discovered that the other person's head was at least a circle larger than the normal head, and it seemed to be covered with something, which looked very weird.
Meng Xiaotao also guessed that the other party might have noticed them, so she stared at the situation outside with her breath, fearing that the other party might do something else.
However, after waiting for a long time, the other party did not take the next step.
Just as the patience of both parties gradually disappeared, the sound of the tent zipper unzipping sounded.
The speaker's voice was a bit vague, and it sounded like he was awakened by an outside sound. He unzipped the tent zipper in a daze, trying to see who was eating outside.
However, when the zipper was halfway open, the other party seemed to finally realize what was wrong. The rest did not open, but there was a sound of pulling inside.
Meng Xiaotao heard the other party's voice, and leaned into Gu Huaiyu's ear and whispered, "It's the vendor today."
Gu Huaiyu's eyes deepened, and after a hum, asked Meng Xiaotao to keep quiet.
The monster outside the tent seemed a little scared.
When the vendor opened the zipper and spoke at the same time, the monster's body actually began to shrink, and at the same time the whole body was in a half-squatting state, as if it was about to run at any time.
At first, the vendor didn't know the situation outside. He just heard the noise, thinking that it was some gluttonous guy who didn't sleep there to eat most of the night.
Later, he realized that normal people's heads could not be so big, and the guy outside the tent was eating like a crispy biscuit, and swallowed it with two crunches.
However, there is no biscuit that can bite into such a crisp sound.
No matter how courage the merchant is, he knows that the situation outside is not right, he must be no different from going out now.
The vendor mumbled the local dialect in a low voice while staring straight at the situation outside.
I kept praying that the guy outside could leave soon.
However, his thoughts shattered in the next moment.
A sharp, wrinkled skin, and scaly on its head, looked nothing like a normal human hand on his tent.
What made him even more horrified was that the opponent's hand was actually slowly pulling the tent zipper open.
She seemed to be afraid that her movements would be too great to wake up people who shouldn't be woken up.
The trader's eyes were huge, and his heart continued to sink with the downward zipper in the monster's hand. He opened his mouth to call for help.
But the words were stuck in the throat, and he couldn't say a word.
He could only slowly see what the monster outside looked like.
-Wow!
A sound of quickly opening the zipper sounded.
The monster outside seemed to be frightened, staring unwillingly at the vendors in the tent, and finally fled before the opponent came out.
Meng Xiaotao rushed out and ran to the vendor's tent not far from them.
Seeing the other party's tent zipper was unzipped, she immediately slammed, "This guy is so courageous." But after seeing the vendor whose heart was about to stop beating because of fright, she immediately shut up and didn't mention it. It's up.
A moment ago, through the tent, although they couldn't see clearly, they could still see clearly the actions of the monsters outside.
Originally, it looked like the monster was about to run away, but somehow, the other party changed his mind, and then slowly stood up, without footsteps, approaching another tent bit by bit.
Then came the sound of the zipper being slowly opened.
Gu Huaiyu has a good memory, knowing that the tent at that location belongs to the vendor today, so she wanted to go out and have a look.
It's a pity that their actions were a step late, and the monsters were already wary. Now when they heard other sounds, although they were unwilling, they finally ran away.
