Hu Xiaowei glared at him angrily, and had no choice but to admit that she was unlucky and move on.

Finally, a slowly flowing river appeared in front of him.Hu Xiaowei rushed over as if seeing a savior.After washing his feet and shoes in the water, he let out a long sigh of relief.But when he turned his head, he saw Gu Qing standing behind him with an expression of watching the show.

Next, Gu Qing and Mengka put the guns and bullets in their marching bags on their heads and started to wade across the river.Hu Xiaowei also tightened her backpack, then rolled up her trousers to her thighs, and followed them carefully, preparing to cross the river.

"What are you doing?" Gu Qing suddenly turned around and yelled at Hu Xiaowei fiercely.

"I, I, I...I want to cross the river too."

"You wait here, I'll come to pick you up later, don't move." Gu Qing quickened his pace and quickly crossed the river, causing a splash of water.Hu Xiaowei's eyes were moist with gratitude, Gu Qing must have felt that the water was too cold, afraid that she would not be able to bear it...

The bottom of the river was a piece of mud mixed with sharp stones, Gu Qing came back again and carried Hu Xiaowei on his back, and stepped forward carefully step by step, trying not to slip.

The surface of the water is getting deeper and deeper, and when it reaches the center of the river, it has not reached Hu Xiaowei's upturned feet. It seems that I will wear wet shoes later...

While muttering in his heart, Gu Qing's legs suddenly tightened.Hu Xiaowei looked down at the clear water surface as if she was entangled in aquatic plants.He saw a black water snake wrapping around his leg and spiraling up from his ankle to his thigh.Hu Xiaowei froze all over immediately, and screamed in horror: "Snake!"

Monka quickly turned around: "Where is the snake?"

"On my lap!" Gu Qing replied calmly, but Hu Xiaowei felt his heartbeat a little faster.

"Stand don't move! It will leave by itself. But you must not move, or it will attack you!" Mengka told Gu Qing nervously.

Hu Xiaowei panted heavily, desperately trying to freeze herself.I am afraid that she will affect Gu Qing.But the fear had made her unable to keep calm, and Hu Xiaowei felt that she was about to fall into the river.

"Xiao Wei, hold my neck tightly!" Gu Qing said softly, his face was also pale, but he was still calm: "Don't think about that snake, talk to me. Do you want a boy or a girl?"

"Boy." Hu Xiaowei answered with difficulty.

"Why?" he continued.

"Because this way I can see what Wen Fan was like when he was a child. Then, you can also play with him." Hu Xiaowei tried to follow his thinking.

He was silent for a moment, then immediately came back to his senses and continued to ask Hu Xiaowei: "How many children do you plan to have in the future?"

"Three."

"why?"

"Because I hope to have a son and a daughter, and it is best not to have too much age difference between each other, so that we can play together." Such a self-talking narrative made Hu Xiaowei's nerves slightly relaxed, and her body no longer trembled convulsively. , did not fall off Gu Qing's back.

Hu Xiaowei stood in the water with Gu Qing, asking and answering questions, until the snake on Gu Qing's leg lost interest in him and swam away by himself.

When the two finally landed on the shore, looking back at the long flowing river, Hu Xiaowei felt as if a big hole had been stabbed in her heart by fear: how many similar dangers will be waiting for them in the future journey?

While sitting on the bank of the river to rest for a while, the cherry-like purple fruit on a dwarf tree next to her attracted Hu Xiaowei's attention.

She plucked a round purple fruit and put it under her nose to sniff lightly. The sweet fragrance came to her nostrils, making Hu Xiaowei smell Liang Wenfan.

Wen Fan, I miss you.When will we meet again? She was immersed in longing and sadness, but the wild fruit in her hand was suddenly taken away.Hu Xiaowei looked up in surprise, and Gu Qing was standing in front of her angrily: "This fruit is poisonous! How many times have I told you not to pick flowers and fruits from the forest casually, let alone eat them!"

"I didn't want to eat it, I just smelled it." Hu Xiaowei argued aggrievedly.

"You can't even smell it! How can a person who is going to be a mother be so casual and careless?" He was completely angry.

Hu Xiaowei also became a little angry: "You don't need to worry about my child, I can take care of him myself!"

"With your childish and confused appearance, you can't even take care of yourself? Now that you are pregnant with a child, you are so careless. What should you do if the child is gone?" In his accusation, Hu Xiaowei seemed to have committed a crime. Big sin.

"I want you to take care of it, you are not mine!" Hu Xiaowei shouted at him angrily, then picked up her bag and rushed forward on her own.In fact, after saying this sentence, she regretted it to death, Gu Qing did all this for her own good.

Along the way, Hu Xiaowei and Gu Qing were speechless.Finally, at dusk, they stopped to pitch their tents for supper and rest.

Hu Xiaowei went to a small stream to wash her face, and when she came back, Gu Qing and Mengka had already sat in front of the tent and started dinner.And a can and an energy bar placed on the ground beside them were her portion of dinner, but there was one more black cloth bag than before.

Hu Xiaowei picked up the cloth bag and opened it: it was a small bag of yellow kumquat-like fruits.

She asked in surprise, "What is this?"

Mengka chuckled: "Mr. Gu went to pick it for you. He said that pregnant women are greedy for fruit. I recognize this kind of fruit and it is not poisonous. Mr. Gu has tasted it himself. You can eat it with confidence."

All the anger in the afternoon dissipated, Hu Xiaowei was ashamed of her petty eyes, and at the same time her nose began to sore: "Thank you, Gu Qing. I... I shouldn't have called you like that in the afternoon."

He ate on his own, without looking up at Hu Xiaowei: "The hormonal levels of pregnant women are different from ordinary people. If you are serious with them, you will only drive yourself crazy. Enjoy the fruits while you can still find them." Well. When you get out of the jungle, you won't even see the shadow of the fruit."

"Oh..." Hu Xiaowei ate the sweet and sour fruit self-consciously, and a warm current flowed through her heart. In such a difficult time, it's great to have someone who cares about her so much!

Wen Fan, don't worry, I will definitely come back safely!

Walking out of the jungle, the vegetation gradually became dwarfed, and there were no towering plants to block the view.

Looking back, the jungle turned into a small green spot in the distance. Hu Xiaowei couldn't believe that it was the place where she walked for three days.And far in front, stands the snow peak.Flip over it and they're safe.

The trails on black soil are no longer slippery, and there are no longer tree roots protruding from the soil surface, making walking easier.The altitude began to increase, the moisture in the air decreased, and the temperature dropped a bit. Although it was very cold, it was no longer as stuffy as in the jungle.

Soon, Hu Xiaowei began to feel tired and easily out of breath.Mengka told her that the altitude here is already higher, and the oxygen in the air has become thinner.Gu Qing and Mengka shared the luggage on her back.Hu Xiaowei panted heavily, followed them with weak steps.

She felt like a huge stone was pressing on her chest, and her steps were as heavy as lead.In the bright sunlight, the square mountain with a snow top in the distance looks majestic and holy.Hu Xiaowei looked at it and said silently in her heart: persevere, persevere, for the family, for the children.

There is no longer the shelter of the jungle here, and the ultraviolet rays in the sun are unscrupulously cast down.Mengka's skin can still resist, but the fragile skin of Hu Xiaowei and Gu Qing has already begun to burn.

Meng Ka pulled out a kind of herbal medicine, crushed it and squeezed out the juice to apply it on the wounds of the two. Gu Qing bared his teeth immediately, while Hu Xiaowei cried out in pain.

The next day, Hu Xiaowei gradually got used to the thin air here, and her chest tightness and fatigue improved a lot.But her morning sickness started at this time, especially in the morning, and she would be nauseated upside down.The food they have left is limited and cannot afford any languish.Therefore, in order to fear that the food she ate would be spit out again, Hu Xiaowei would not eat even if she was so hungry that she fainted in the morning.And after lunch and dinner, even if she was sick, she covered her mouth desperately to prevent herself from vomiting, even if she held back tears.

Gu Qing asked Mengka to teach her survival skills in the future journey.

"You have to write down every word Mengka said now." He said to Hu Xiaowei seriously: "If one day in the future, you are the only one left on this journey, these survival essentials will save your life."

Hu Xiaowei was shocked, and continued to be sad: "Don't say such things! We will all go back safely. No one will be missing!"

He chuckled narrowly: "If I really go back, you won't be afraid that your Wenfan will be jealous, you've been with me these days."

Hu Xiaowei didn't know how to answer his words, Gu Qing is a person who can't hide, Hu Xiaowei felt that his feelings for her were indeed extraordinary.

"Okay, I'm just joking with you. Your fiancé is so precious to you. I can't compete with you. Besides, if I go back, I'm afraid that I will be involved in the case as the gangster who kidnapped you." He laughed at himself.

"You won't." Hu Xiaowei looked at him resolutely: "You saved me, and the child. Everyone will only be grateful to you."

Gu Qing pretended to smile relaxedly, revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth: "That beautiful lady, please be patient, climb over the snowy peak, and return to City S safely. Only in this way can I become a hero."

"It's a deal." Hu Xiaowei also smiled at him, expressing gratitude, promise, and encouragement.

After crossing the platform, you entered the wilderness under the snow peak.

The common dwarf plants on the terraces have disappeared.The rough road is interspersed with uneven boulders, and they can only step down from the cracks in the rocks and move forward with difficulty.

That night, Mengka could hardly find a flat place to pitch his tent, the ground was full of uneven stones.But because he was too tired, he fell asleep right away.When they woke up the next day, all three had backs full of pain and bruises.

The three climbed up all the way, and finally reached the snow line, and the cold was threatening.

There is no grass growing here, nor any birds or birds.The only life left was us three interlopers.It is relatively warm here during the day, but it is very cold at night, and it will turn into ice if you don't pay attention.After three o'clock in the afternoon, thick fog will fall, and people can only feel their way forward.If we can't cross the snow peak before then, we will freeze to death in the thick fog.

Bypassing a pile of boulders, a huge white animal skeleton appeared in front of him.

"What is this?" Hu Xiaowei was surprised with fear.How could there be such huge animal remains in a place where there are no signs of life?
