Chapter 19

In the dry and hot cave, Susu cleaned up the weeds on the ground a little bit, she turned her head to look at the man standing at the entrance of the cave and said softly, "Continue on the road tomorrow morning."

The man lowered his eyelids and looked indifferent. He raised his feet and took a tentative step forward.

Seeing that his eyes were dull, Su Su walked over slowly, watching him to avoid being hurt.

The cave was very quiet, Susu found a place at random and sat down.

The night wind blowing into the cave brought a bit of coolness, the girl leaned her head against the wall, and slowly closed her eyes while holding the stone knife in her right hand.

In the silence, Alex only felt that the darkness in front of him was like an abyss, and his inability to see things made him feel a little restless in his heart. He took a deep breath and felt the breath of a girl.

she is nearby

Why not sit next to him?

Alex frowned handsomely, feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart.

At dawn the next day, Susu opened her eyes.

She didn't sleep well all night, her eyes were black and blue, she yawned and saw Alex was still sitting on the ground.

Susu walked over slowly: "It's dawn, let's continue on our way!"

Alex licked his dry lips and stood up slowly with his hands on the ground.

The two walked in the thick and dense woods, the sun above the head was as hot as a huge fireball, Susu was hot and hungry, she looked around and found a small stream in front of her. "Let's find something to eat first." Then he took Alex's arm and walked towards the stream.

The man's slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and he obediently followed behind her.

There are several fat black fish swimming in the crystal clear stream.

The girl weighed the stone knife in her hand, took off her shoes and stood in the stream, staring intently at the black fish in the water.

Alex by the stream asked aloud, "What are you doing?"

"Catch fish! Just don't talk!"

After a while, Susu saw the right time, and quickly inserted the stone knife into the fish's body, and in an instant, a few wisps of bright red blood floated in the water.

Afterwards, Susu went to find some dry firewood, and she was going to light a fire to grill the fish.

She sat on the ground, turning the branches in her palms with both hands. After a while, Susu felt her arms were sore, and she threw the branches in her hands on the ground.

It is not so easy to drill wood to make fire!
The girl's red lips were slightly pursed, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes. Suddenly, she looked up at Alex who was beside her.

She stood up from the ground and handed the branch to Alex: "Hey, come and try to make fire by drilling wood."

The man's thin lips parted lightly: "Drilling wood to make fire?"

Susu taught him the method, and then squatted aside to watch the man move.

In a moment, gray smoke rose from the contact surface between the tiny branch and the wood.

A flash of surprise flashed in Susu's eyes, she said excitedly: "That's it, good job!"

Alex lowered his eyes, and the faint heat from the wood pounced on his hand, and he was slightly surprised in his heart that he didn't expect that this would produce fire.

Alex twirled the branch with his big hands, sparks appeared in a short while, and Susu quickly added some hay to it.

After that, Susu asked Alex to fill it with some dry firewood from time to time, and she began to process the fish.

……

After using the grilled fish, the two moved on.

"Boom—boom——" thunder suddenly came from the sky, and in an instant, the clouds were dense and the sky darkened.

Listening to the wind around him, Alex whispered: "There will be a heavy rain later, let's find a cave first." As soon as the words fell, he felt a warm touch on his wrist.

Susu held his wrist tightly, her face was a little dignified, and her voice trembled: "Take me tight!"

She grabbed his wrist and ran up the hill.

Sand and rocks flew wildly, and the rainstorm suddenly came, and the raindrops fell on the ground. In a short while, the earth pits on the ground were filled with stagnant water.

Susu was so fascinated by the sand that she couldn't open her eyes. She covered her mouth and nose with one hand, and tightly held the man's wrist with the other. She tried her best to walk to the top of the mountain.

Alex looked down at the girl in front of him, and he could imagine that her black hair was already wet, and her petite figure had a trace of tragic color, and she led him forward with firm steps.

The emotion in the man's eyes was dim, and for a moment, he suddenly raised the corners of his lips.

Susu looked at the cave not far away, she just felt that this journey was unprecedentedly long.
