Chapter 104 The Flame in the Waterfall
I was stunned, thinking that I was going to die this time, but I saw a person suddenly jumping out from behind, a tall and tall black figure standing in front of me, even though his face was covered with a black square scarf, I could still recognize him Back view, who else besides Zhang Qi?With a flying kick, he kicked the old man hard in the chest.The old village chief didn't expect this kick at all, he was kicked far away and fell off the stone pile.Then the white-clothed man beside him also attacked, Zhang Qi beat the man down again and again.
Then he took out a knife and slashed at the tree pole behind me, saving me.We turned our heads and wanted to leave, but saw that the surroundings were already surrounded by people in white.
These people look like wandering spirits, not only are their eyes dull, but even their hands are as dull as a robot, not as flexible as a living person. What is going on?
"Are these people people or ghosts?" I turned my head and asked Zhang Qi.
He glared at me and said, "Didn't I let you go?"
I knew I was wrong, but I was speechless.
At this time, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, and the white petals all over the sky floated down like snowflakes. The scene was very beautiful, and the air was filled with a strong fragrance of flowers.
Zhang Qi took out a veil from his pocket, covered my mouth and nose and tied it, I thought to myself: "No way, the scent of this flower is poisonous, so I ran under the tree and fell asleep. It’s deep! What’s the use of covering it up?”
Just when he was about to tell Zhang Qi, he said: "Let's go".Then he pulled me and plunged into the pile of white clothes.Although those people surrounded us, there were men and women, old and young among them, and their attack power was not very good. It was easy to get rid of them with Zhang Qi's skills, and I didn't need to help them.After getting rid of them, he got into the dark.
We ran very far with one foot deep and one shallow foot before stopping.I put my hands on my waist and gasped for breath. While panting, I said, "You are so good at fighting, why run away?"
The night is a bit dark, but I can feel the bright eyes staring at me.When he didn't speak, I thought he was still mad at me for not listening to him, telling me to leave and run back.
After we were silent for a while, I coughed in embarrassment, and then asked him: "Where are we going next?"
He was silent for a while, still did not speak, and pulled me to walk upstream.His hands are big and warm. Even in such an environment, my sight is limited, as long as I follow him, I feel extremely safe.
Soon we returned to the position where we climbed down under the waterfall and found the hanging rope.Zhang Qi motioned for me to climb to the top, it would be safer, and I thought so too.After climbing up, he retracted the rope, and there were still a few hours before dawn, so he could squint for a while, and make plans after dawn.
We gathered some dry firewood and found an open place to set up a fire. I was exhausted after all this tossing.Zhang Qi boiled some hot water for me to drink, which can be regarded as suppressing my shock.
I looked up at him, just in time to meet his gaze, couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and lowered my head again.
"Why did you run back again?" He asked me, his tone was flat, no emotion could be heard.
"Things are not clear, I don't want to go back." I told the truth.
"Do you understand now?" He asked again.
I shook my head, looked at him aggrieved, and said, "Not only have things not been clarified, but they have become more and more confused."
He lowered his head to add more firewood, then glanced at me again, and shook his head slightly.I know his action best, it is a kind of helplessness that can't be done to me.I hurriedly found the steps myself, then got tired of going up again, and asked him if he had anything to eat in his bag?Since all the food was in Wu Xie's bag, I haven't eaten properly for more than ten hours since I left them.There are only a few homemade red bean cakes left in my bag, and I plan to save them for Zhang Qi, but I have never been willing to eat them.
Zhang Qi dug out some bread and the like from his bag and handed it to me, and poured me some water.Under his gaze, I devoured it regardless of my image.I'm afraid I'm the only one who can eat so freely in front of such a peerless handsome man.
I thought to myself, anyway, you have someone in mind, and I will pretend to be reserved.
He silently watched me finish eating, and then said with an uncertain expression: "I feel that you are different from before."
"Before? Didn't you say you didn't know me well before!" I asked in confusion.
Zhang Qi looked at me, and said seriously: "I can't remember many things."
"Isn't it? You have such a bad memory at such a young age?" But just after finishing speaking, I couldn't help but feel that my face was severely slapped. I was still not the same, and I still lost my memory completely.Except for the automatic loss of memory when you get older, other times memory really doesn’t have much to do with age, but has more to do with the circumstances you encounter. Maybe he also suffered from an unlucky illness like me. maybe.
Zhang Qi still looked at me, neither admitting nor denying my words.I felt guilty when he looked at me, and quickly followed what he said just now, and asked: "Then why are you talking about how I am different from before?"
He thought for a while, then lowered his head and looked at the dancing flames, and said slowly, "I'm not so tired!"
"Huh?" I can't understand this answer at all!Am I tired every day?Is it because of a lot of debts?But I heard from Fat Brother that I am a poor ghost!Except for a small broken car, you don't even have a mortgage, tired?
If it is not a material burden, is it spiritual?Or he was talking about the days when I offended a big shot and was hunted down!
I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Things are over, people have to live, right?"
He glanced at me and nodded.
The light from the flames shone warmly on his face, making me put aside all the weird experiences just now.But I couldn't let go of the strange dream I had under the tree, so I asked him, "I want to ask you something? Among the people I knew before, was there someone named Da Mong?"
After hearing this, he suddenly raised his head and stared at me. Although his face was still expressionless, this reaction had already told me the answer.
"Is there really such a person?" I asked tentatively again.
Zhang Qi looked at me for a long time, then stretched out my left hand to feel my pulse.After exploring, he looked at me suspiciously.
"Can't you tell me? I dreamed about him recently. Although I didn't see him clearly, it seems that he is gone, which makes me very sad. Is he my ex-boyfriend? Or does he owe me a lot of money ?”
Zhang Qi listened, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, then patted my head lightly, and said, "Let's take it for granted!"
"Hey... Take it easy, it hurts..." His hand touched the place where I was injured by the stone, which made me grin in pain.
Immediately, he took out a medicine bag from his bag, patted the seat next to him, and told me to sit closer.I obediently moved over.Watching him squeeze out some ointment for removing bruises and swelling, and parted my hair. The ointment felt cool after being applied, and I felt much more comfortable in an instant.
We were so close that I could even feel his breath caressing my forehead.This scene seems somewhat familiar.I raised my head and just met his deep eyes, I couldn't help blushing, and said awkwardly: "Fortunately, I didn't hit the old wound."
Unexpectedly, his hand landed on my nose and scratched it lightly, and said, "You're messing around!"
"Damn it, this is flirting with me!" How could a love idiot like me bear it, his face immediately turned redder, and it was still hot.
"It...it's too hot here, I...go sit there." So, he hurried to a place far away from him.He didn't care too much, propped his head on his hands, closed his eyes, and looked like he was going to sleep.
But I didn't feel sleepy at all, I was in good spirits, and had nothing to do, so I stood up and walked back and forth, and looked down the cliff to see if there was a man in white climbing up.
"Do you think they are apes?" Zhang Qi probably was disturbed by my movement, so he couldn't help asking.
I smiled awkwardly, and then said forcefully: "Anything is possible."
Zhang Qi glanced at me speechlessly, then patted the seat beside him, motioning for me to sit down.I was very reluctant, and walked over slowly.Then he suggested: "Since both of us can't sleep, let's talk again!"
"When the group of people were about to bleed me just now, they said that I was chosen by the princess? Do you think there is something wrong with them? What age are they? Where did the princess come from?" I said to myself, completely He didn't notice that Zhang Qi's face became a little weird.
Then I said: "Even if a princess wants to choose a husband-in-law, she should choose you instead of me!" After saying this, I thought it was quite interesting, so I covered my mouth and laughed.
But Zhang Qi still had a serious expression on his face, without even the slightest smile. "Hey, it's just a joke, don't be angry!" I tugged on his sleeve and comforted him.
He gave me a blank look, then turned his face away, and said softly: "Fool."
Just like this, I bickered a few words, and my sleepiness gradually returned.When I woke up, I found that the morning mist hadn't cleared away, and I was covered with a stretched coat.And he was watching the waterfall silently with his back to me, not knowing what he was thinking.
The sun shines directly on the waterfall through the gap between the two peaks, adding a lot of magnificence. After a while, a gorgeous rainbow appeared, straddling the waterfall, looking like a fairyland.
"Ouch," I groaned when I accidentally touched the wound on my head.
Zhang Qi turned his head, saw that I woke up, and waved to me again, beckoning me to go over.I walked over and returned the coat to him, and he pulled me to where he was standing just now, then pointed to the colorful water curtain of the waterfall and asked, "Did you see it?"
"Rainbow?" I asked back without knowing why.
"No, look at that." He stood behind me, straightened my shoulders, and then pointed to the surging waterfall in front of him. At this time, half of the waterfall was illuminated by the sun, and the other half was covered by the reflection of the mountain. .In this way, a strange angle was formed, and at the boundary of that angle, a cloud of yellowish light actually penetrated through the water curtain.
"What is this?" I asked in surprise.
Zhang Qi looked there with a solemn expression, and said lightly: "It's the ground fire."
