Chapter 48

"Of course it's true. I threw it over there. If you don't believe me, I'll show you to see it!"

Qian Feng hurriedly said: "No, no, no!" Well, he didn't even dare to look at a dead snake, and he was most afraid of snakes in his life.Although he was also afraid when he heard about jackals just now, he was far less afraid than seeing snakes.

Qian Feng put his arms around Pomegranate's thick waist, "Pomegranate, Pomegranate, you are my Fahai."

Shiliu laughed straight, "I usually see you as bold, but I didn't expect you to be a coward."

Suddenly, Qian Feng jumped up, "Pomegranate, let's quickly chop some firewood and set up a bonfire in the open space, so that no beasts, snakes or insects dare to approach. I thought there would be a village after walking for so long. I can borrow a night for some money, but I didn’t expect to see no one, but I did see jackals and snake spirits.”

"Okay." Pomegranate replied, and hurriedly chopped down a lot of firewood beside it, and also cut down the trees that were not too tall.

Qian Feng cut some thatch, found a fire pocket from the cart, and said to himself while lighting the fire: "Fortunately, I brought this, otherwise I will be divided up by wild beasts tonight. Okay, but it’s scary enough to look like a primeval forest everywhere, alas, I wonder if Xu Xiake has ever been bitten by a snake..."

The pomegranate came over carrying the tree, and after a while they were all chopped into firewood. Qian Feng first set up thick sticks and then thick logs. It didn't take long for the bonfire to burn, and the faces of the two of them were flushed.

After finishing their work, the two began to eat cakes and silkworm chrysalis.

"Qian Feng, you are not afraid of swallowing pupae, nor are you afraid of eating scorpions. Why are you so afraid of snakes?"

Qian Feng bit the cake and said, "Could it be the same? They're not the same size at all, okay?"

Speaking of this, Qian Feng suddenly felt guilty. Not only could he not protect Pomegranate when something happened, but he had to rely on Pomegranate to protect him. It was really irresponsible for him to bring her out. He didn't want to be a frog in a well. There is nothing wrong with going out for a break, but Pomegranate stayed at home well and had a good time. If it weren't for his tossing around, Pomegranate wouldn't have to suffer this kind of hardship at all.

Seeing Pomegranate eating the dry and cold cakes and the silkworm chrysalis that she was so afraid of, Qian Feng felt sad and said, "Pomegranate, you didn't enjoy the blessings when you married me, you just suffered. Most of the work is done by you, even harder than men, and I am still restless, so I will take you out to suffer this."

Shiliu giggled, "I don't think it's a crime, it's so much fun along the way."

Is it really fun to be a jackal and a snake?

Qian Feng choked, "Pomegranate, I'm a useless man, I can't protect you."

"Then I will protect you, okay? I am very strong. My brother and I have caught wild boars before. Follow me and don't be afraid. What bull ghosts and snake gods are you talking about? If I see them, I will definitely dare to catch them." "Pomegranate handed the water to Qian Feng to drink, "In the future, don't faint at every turn, okay? I'm not afraid of those beasts and ghosts, but I'm so afraid of your motionless appearance. I'm afraid you'll leave me alone ..."

When Shiliu spoke, her eyes were moist. When she saw that Qian Feng was unconscious, she was really scared. It seemed that this was the first time she felt very scared and helpless when she grew up.

She just wants to be Qian Feng's follower. If Qian Feng is gone, she doesn't know what to do.

Qian Feng sat closer, put his arms around Shiliu's shoulders, smiled at her, and stared at the bonfire, "Shiliu, for you, I also want to be brave, so I won't let myself fall down easily, and don't let you be afraid .”

Shiliu was very happy to hear that, nodded and said, "Okay."

After eating, Qian Feng took out the burlap sleeping bag made of pomegranate, "Come on, pomegranate, you get in."

Pomegranate got in, and Qian Feng took out some clothes and folded them up, and used them as pillows for her, so that she could sleep by the fire without being cold at all.

"Qian Feng, aren't you going to sleep?" Shiliu snorted, she was sleepy.

"I'm not sleepy, first count the stars, you go to sleep."

In fact, Qian Feng was also very sleepy, but he had to guard the fire and guard against attacks by bad guys or wild animals.

Pomegranate smiled and said: "I'll count, I'll count, one, two, three..." She fell asleep after counting to twenty.

In this wilderness, she was able to fall asleep so quickly, Qian Feng smiled and lamented her good sleep.In fact, he knew that Shiliu slept so peacefully because he was by his side.

In Shiliu's heart, he is her reliance, and he must make her dependable, otherwise he will not be a man.

In the middle of the night, the sleeping pomegranate suddenly shouted: "Qian Feng, don't be afraid, I'll kill wolves, snake spirits, tigers, lions, monsters,..."

Qian Feng sat there and dozed off, and was suddenly awakened by the pomegranate. He shook his head and smiled, then answered the pomegranate's dream and said: "There will be no tigers and lions in such a mountain, and there will be no monsters."

Pomegranate was giggling, eyes still closed and sleeping.

Qian Feng leaned over and kissed her cheek, and said, "Pomegranate is so brave, that's great."

Shiliu looked proud, and then snorted again.
