you touched my years

Chapter 186 Finding Water
A good night's sleep, once the tiredness and tense nerves of the days were relaxed, they all slept until dawn.

Originally, I was worried that Qiu Zeran would have a toxin attack last night, but I didn't expect to spend the night peacefully.

After waking up, there was nothing around her, she rubbed her still not sober eyes, and slowly walked out of the cave with a trace of mistiness.

The fire at the entrance of the cave seemed to have been filled with wood not long ago, and the fire was burning extremely vigorously. Only now did she look around carefully. There are some unknown small trees, the sun shines in from the mottled light and shadow, and the air is pleasant. This place is very different from the place where she stayed before. She also saw a few birds that flew by inadvertently.

Sure enough, they walked out of the miasma forest, but Qiu Zeran disappeared. He said last night that they would rest here before setting off. It seems that this person went to find food. She sat by the fire and watched There was a pile of licorice and reeds next to her, and she instantly realized that this was what Qiu Zeran had prepared for her to weave a pannier. She turned to the big rock by the fire and sat down, slowly weaving the pannier in her hand.

Half a quarter of an hour later, she got up, stretched her shoulders and looked up, and saw him returning with his upper body bare and his hands full of prey.

She walked over with a smile, and the basket in her hand was still in place. The smile was accompanied by the rising sun, which was dazzling in his eyes. He went out to hunt, and when he came back, he saw the girl greeted him with a smile. Such a scene was cold. Even with a cold heart, he also felt extremely warm and satisfied, just like a husband who went out to hunt and returned home to accept his wife's warm reception.

He gave a rare smile, even though he only moved the corners of his lips a little, but she was still surprised and satisfied in her eyes.

"Today's harvest is very rich." Indeed, the depths of this jungle have not been mined or disturbed by anyone. This season is when the prey is the most abundant. He is good at rounding up prey, so the harvest is really good when he makes a move. Two pheasants and a rabbit were the prey that he was rushing to get back and didn't want to do too much.

"There are indeed a lot of these things in the depths of the jungle. I left you wild fruits. Have you eaten them? I just discovered this, and you can take them after washing them. If you don't eat meat, you can't guarantee nutrition. This ginseng has four grades at least. Can maintain some of your strength."

Liu Xiaoyu took the bead of fresh ginseng that he handed to her. It was at least a hundred years old. It was in good condition, but there were some damages on the roots, but it was no easy task to dig out this thing completely. She smiled He looked at him and said: "This thing is a great supplement. You will use some later, your leg injury is still not healed."

His eyes were doting and gentle, he didn't answer, he carried his prey and walked towards the edge of a hot spring pool.

"Later, let's clean up and look for the water source. After we find the water source, we can walk along the water source and get out of here." Qiu Zeran said slowly while watching the person applying the medicine while roasting the roast chicken in his hand.

"Well, your leg is recovering well, and it will be fine in a few days. But is it near a water source?"

"It shouldn't be far away. There must be a source of water in such a big jungle, so is your pannier ready?" Qiu Zeran looked at the bamboo building that was almost already weaved and asked the person who lowered his head and carefully applied the medicine.

"Well, it will be ready soon, just find two vines to make a belt. Okay, move around a bit, is it tight?" Liu Xiaoyu asked him, pointing at the wound.

"Well, it's very suitable. It's not loose or tight. We'll go there later." Qiu Zeran put the roasted pheasant on the leaves, turned to look at the people who were packing the cloth bags and herbs, and then at her still wrapped. Wrist, said aloud: "How to clean up, your hand, is it better? Come here, I will apply medicine for you, and you are not comfortable with one hand."

Liu Xiaoyu, who really turned his back to him, froze when he heard this, paused with a hint of surprise, and then said: "Oh, it's okay, I've changed the medicine, and my wound is also scarred, but in the end It’s not as good as your healing ability, but it will be fine in a few days. I’ll get the basket first, so you can eat first.”

Fleeing with a hint of embarrassment, he could see the strange change in her from the moment she suddenly froze just now, now she turned around and left suddenly without even looking at him, what is there to hide? Looking at him, could it be related to the scar on her wrist?What the hell is going on here?
There was no communication between the two of them for a while, Qiu Zeran was more patient and slowly figured out what happened, while Liu Xiaoyu was relieved that Qiu Zeran would not press him anymore, now that he doesn't speak, she naturally won't run up to let him Talk too much so as not to talk about this topic again.

When it was almost noon, the two of them put some food in the basket and set off to walk out of the cave. Qiu Zeran held her little hand, but it was still cold and there was no feeling of temperature. He thought to himself, waiting to return to the city , must let people look for those things, the longer the time drags on, the more tormenting this evil spirit will be for girls.

The jungle is huge, but it is brighter and brighter than the one they have encountered before, and the greenery is more dense and verdant. From time to time, some small snakes or small animals can be seen running past their feet.

Qiu Zeran led the way very carefully. He was familiar with the rules of survival in the jungle. When walking with her, he tried to avoid unnecessary dangers. Along the way, the two of them lived in peace.

They set off at noon and walked eastward. The more humid and hot the place, the faster they moved. Finally, after walking for at least 3 hours, they found the source of water, a ditch no more than a few tens of centimeters wide. , flowing down from above.

At this time Liu Xiaoyu was already exhausted, not to mention Qiu Zeran who was still energetic and not tired at the moment, and sat down on a big rock next to him.That's not to mention, perhaps these days the two of them get along less strangely and more harmoniously and tacitly. She took off her shoes without even thinking about it, and directly put her feet into the water.

Qiu Zeran looked at the person in such a state amusedly, and loved him more and more in her heart. The more authentic she acted, the less she was unfamiliar with him and the less guarded she was. Performance, you must know that in his impression, she has always been dignified and elegant, noble and refined, with some scheming and decisiveness, but she is not as lively and enthusiastic as a girl of the same age.

At this moment, seeing the innocent face with a rosy complexion after walking, he felt indescribably happy and comforted.

He looked around and looked at the environment. There was no danger for the time being, so he sat down next to her, and imitated her. He took off his shoes and soaked his feet in the lake water. Pain and discomfort in the legs.

He looked at the pair of white and petite feet in the water, stretched out his legs childishly and splashed the water droplets, which made Liu Xiaoyu startled for a moment, and then he realized that he splashed it in the same way. Accompanied by the gorgeous brilliance of the setting sun, he laughed, even if he recalled it many years later, Qiu Zeran still felt that it was the most beautiful time in his life...
