Thinking of the threats from Long Zhong and Long Xiu, Long Yao suddenly panicked and his tail straightened. His ruby-like eyes instantly became moist and sparkled with tears.
"Don't be left behind, Xiaowu. Big brother, second brother, stinky fox, where are you, wuwuwu..."
Long Yao was dragging the fox's tail in one hand, looking weak, pitiful and helpless for his familiar figure in the snow.
There was complete silence in the vast snowfield.
Just when the little guy was in despair, he suddenly found a hand where he had just crawled out.
He hurried over, hid in front of the hand, and started digging with his hands and feet.
After about ten minutes, the owner of the hand was finally dug out.
"Aunt Jing!"
Seeing the familiar person, Long Yao's desperate little heart suddenly felt at ease. He hugged Hu Jing's neck, panting "hey, hey" and pulled her to the flatter snow ground.
Hu Jing kept his eyes closed, his face was pale and bloodless, and the skin that Long Yao's hands touched was also cold.
Finally, Long Yao stopped and sat down next to Hu Jing, exhausted.
After resting for two minutes, he did not forget to run over and move the "trophy" snow fox over.
This is his food.
"Aunt Jing, wake up, don't sleep anymore!"
Long Yao took the snow fox back and found Hu Jing still lying on the ground, motionless like a corpse. He suddenly panicked.
He remembered that the orcs in the tribe died in the same way.
When the little guy thought about how Hu Jing was dead and he would be alone in this wilderness, he started to tremble with fear and his face turned pale.
"Aunt Jing, please don't die, wuwuwu... Xiaowu doesn't want to be alone here, and doesn't want Aunt Jing to die..."
"Auntie Jing, please wake up soon, as long as you wake up, Xiaowu is willing to give you all the food..."
Long Yao shook Hu Jing's arm faster and harder, and the volume of his crying grew louder and louder.
He was really scared.
"Ahem..."
Hu Jing was shaken dizzy. When he regained consciousness, he heard Xiaowu's wailing in his ears, as if he was at a funeral.
"Stop howling... I'm not dead yet, if you shake me again I'll really die..."
She spoke weakly.
Long Yao was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, he lowered his head in surprise, and held Hu Jing's head with both hands. Their faces suddenly came close. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hu Jing open his eyes.
"Aunt Jing, it's great that you're not dead!"
"You cursed me..."
Hu Jing's eyelids twitched, and he propped himself up to sit up, thinking back to what happened during the avalanche. He looked at Long Yao's pitiful appearance, and seeing no one around, he guessed that they had been separated from the other orcs.
"Aunt Jing won't die so easily. You don't have to be afraid as long as Aunt Jing is here."
She patted her chest generously to reassure Long Yao.
As he spoke, he unconsciously raised his chin and pulled his neck, feeling a burning pain.
"Why does my neck hurt so much..." Hu Jing frowned, reached out to touch his neck, but didn't feel any wound.
Long Yao subconsciously shrank his head, remembering that he had just grabbed her neck and pulled her out like pulling a carrot.
It’s better not to tell Aunt Jing about this kind of trivial matter…
Hu Jing twisted her neck and seeing that it could still move, she didn't care. She wasn't that delicate and could still endure this little pain.
Patting the snow off his body, Hu Jing suddenly turned his head to look at Long Yao, staring at him intently, and asked with a smile:
"Yao'er, have you forgotten something?"
"What?" Long Yao tilted his head in confusion.
"Didn't you just say that you would give me all the food as soon as I woke up? Aunt Jing is starving. What's behind you?"
Hu Jing reminded him with a smile.
Hearing this, Long Yao immediately became alert and used his body to block the snow fox behind him, with his little mouth flattened into an inverted crescent shape.
After hesitating for a while, he took out the snow fox dejectedly, turned his head, reluctantly looked away, and handed it to the tiger crystal.
"Aunt Jing, this is for you..."
Although he was reluctant, Long Yao did not forget that it was Hu Jing who rushed over to protect him during the avalanche and held him tightly in his arms, which prevented him from getting injured and from getting cold.
Otherwise, he would have frozen to death and would be alone now.
My mother said that a good child is one who knows how to repay kindness.
Hu Jing was a little surprised. She didn't expect Long Yao to be willing to take out the food. She smiled, took the snow fox, stood up and said:
"Okay, Aunt Jing will keep it for you. It's getting dark, and we need to find a place to spend the night. Aunt Jing will build a fire and roast the snow fox for you to eat."
"Xiaowu can eat it too?" Long Yao suddenly raised his drooping head with a look of anticipation.
"First find a place to sleep..."
Hu Jing nodded, and as soon as he finished speaking, Long Yao ran out with his short legs.
"Aunt Jing, hurry up, it will be dark if we don't leave now!"
More anxious than Hu Jing.
Hu Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and followed him.
Long Yao thought they were walking too slowly, so after a while he changed into the form of an animal, carrying animal skin clothes and walking in front like a leader.
Every time he kept a distance from her, he would first look around. When he turned back and saw that Hu Jing had not caught up, he would fly back anxiously, put his head on Hu Jing's back and push her along.
Walking so slowly is really frustrating.
Finally, before the sun set, the two found a cave.
"Aunt Jing, it's a cave. We can sleep here tonight! Can we make a fire and grill some meat now?"
Looking at Long Yao's expectant eyes, Hu Jing nodded:
"Wait here for me. I'll go get some firewood to start a fire."
Long Yao sat obediently at the entrance of the cave and nodded.
But his eyes were looking at the snow fox on the ground, his mouth slightly open, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva every few seconds.
"After eating today, we'll sleep here and go find everyone tomorrow..." Hu Jing brought back a bundle of firewood and while busying herself, she told Long Yao about her arrangements.
I thought the little guy would be scared because he got separated from the team, but when I turned around, I saw Long Yao drooling at the snow fox.
He turned a deaf ear to her words and didn't care at all about how to find the team.
Hu Jing: "..."
Forget it, fools have good luck.
"Aunt Jing, there seems to be light in the cave."
Long Yao suddenly felt a burning gaze staring at him from behind. Turning back, he found two fist-sized dark lights in the darkness deep in the cave.
"Light? How could there be light in the cave? Yao'er, you must have seen it wrong..." Hu Jing had just lit the fire and was carefully protecting the flames without looking at Long Yao.
"It really is! Aunt Jing, the light is still moving, coming towards us!"
Long Yao shouted excitedly.
Light... can still move
Hu Jing's heart skipped a beat and he turned his head sharply, looking in the direction of Long Yao's finger. He saw a huge creature walking out of the cave in the darkness.
That's not light, it's clearly the brown bear's eyeball!
