Xie Shizi's shameless daily life

Zhao Shu kept looking for stones of suitable sizes within five meters of the cave entrance. After surrounding Xie Jin with stones, she went to move stones again, intending to build a circle for herself next to Xie Jin.

Xie Jin looked at the person squatting on the ground and said, "Stop piling up, come with me."

Zhao Shu looked up: "Ah?"

Xie Jin patted the thatched grass beside him and said, "Together."

"Ah!" Zhao Shu widened her eyes.

"Ahem." Xie Jin coughed and made up a story, "When two people sleep and rest together, wild animals won't dare to get close."

Zhao Shu looked at Xie Jin suspiciously. Is there such a saying?
But looking at Xie Jin's serious face, Zhao Shu had no choice but to nod: "Okay."

Zhao Shu stood up and stepped into the pile of rocks, sat down next to Xie Jin, and looked out of the cave entrance with a serious look.

Zhao Shu's back gradually came to rest against the stone wall behind her, her eyes half closed, her head nodding. She was really too sleepy. She hadn't closed her eyes the whole night before because she had to take care of Xie Jin who was injured and had a fever. Now as soon as she sat down, she couldn't help but feel sleepy.

Xie Jin moved his body towards Zhao Shu, and Zhao Shu's head rested on Xie Jin's shoulder.

Xie Jin sat quietly for a while, and after Zhao Shu's breathing gradually stabilized, he gently lifted Zhao Shu's head with his hands and placed it on his lap.

Zhao Shu snorted, found a more comfortable position, and fell asleep completely.

Xie Jin placed his hands lightly on Zhao Shu's waist, leaned against the stone wall and closed his eyes.

Zhao Shu woke up leaning against the stone wall. She was dazed for a while, then raised her hand to wake up the person next to her.

The two continued on their journey. During the day, they saw some wild fruits, which they picked to fill their stomachs, and then picked some more to eat at night.

After a few days, Xie Jin's injuries were mostly healed, and he no longer needed Zhao Shu's support when traveling.

They rested in the cave as usual that night. Zhao Shu looked at Xie Jin hesitantly: "Do you feel it's very quiet tonight?"

Xie Jin glanced at her and said nothing.

"Haven't you noticed? Normally, even at this time of the year, there are always some insects chirping, but tonight I didn't hear any sound at all. Don't you think it's strange?"

Xie Jin still didn't say anything. He just stood up, piled up a large pile of firewood, and lit it.

Zhao Shu looked at his actions, feeling more and more uneasy. "Isn't it said that lighting a fire will attract wild animals?"

Xie Jin took out two thick burning branches from the fire and turned to hand them to Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu didn't answer: "What happened?"

Xie Jin said calmly: "Something has been following us all the way."

Zhao Shu looked out of the dark cave and asked in surprise: "What is that?!"

Xie Jin pursed her lips: "I don't know."

Zhao Shu stood up in panic: "Then what should we do?"

Xie Jin looked at her and said, "That thing has been with us all the way. I'm afraid it won't be peaceful tonight. You stay in the cave and don't come out. Watch the fire and don't let it go out."

"how about you?"

"I'm just outside the cave."

Zhao Shu instantly understood what he meant and took the torch silently: "Be careful!"

The fire was burning brightly, with crackling sounds coming from time to time. The grass and trees outside the cave were rustling. Zhao Shu was sitting in front of the fire, and Xie Jin was standing outside the cave.

Suddenly, there was a rustling noise in the grass, and Zhao Shu immediately looked over nervously.

"rustling"

"rustling"

Zhao Shu discovered that this sound came from more than one place, but the sound was heard in the semi-arc around the entrance of the cave where they were.

Zhao Shu looked at the swaying grass and held the torch tightly.

Those things kept approaching them, as if trying to trap them in this cave.

The rustling sound gradually died down, and a huge dog half a person's height, with a white body and green eyes, walked out from the bushes.

Zhao Shu looked at the huge creature and murmured, "Is this a wolf?"

She usually had the habit of reading miscellaneous books, and she remembered reading a travelogue that said: It looks like a dog, has a large body, and green eyes, so it must be a wolf.

Xie Jin stared at the big creature without blinking, and said in a deep voice: "It's a wolf!"

Zhao Shu turned her head towards Xie Jin, then quickly turned her head back towards the wolf. If she remembered correctly, this wolf was a carnivore and could not live without meat.

Then, five more wolves came out with the white wolf as the center. The fur color of those five wolves was not white like the previous one, but grayish white all over.

The wolves formed groups of two and surrounded the two men step by step.

As Xie Jin drew his sword and rushed towards the wolves, he warned Zhao Shu again: "Don't come out!"

Zhao Shu nodded immediately, and then she realized that Xie Jin had his back to her and could not see her movements at all.

Xie Jin stabbed the belly of the wolf closest to him with his sword. The other wolves were instantly enraged when they saw their companion was injured, and they rushed towards Xie Jin with their teeth bared. Xie Jin drew his sword and threw the wolf away. At the same time, the other wolves rushed towards Xie Jin from the left, right, front and back.

Xie Jin raised his left hand to block the wolf's mouth beside him. When the wolf bit his arm, he held its head tightly with his right hand and swung it around.

All the wolves surrounding Xie Jin were knocked to the ground by the wolf in his hand. They flew out with their bellies touching the ground and their heads twisted in awkward postures.

Xie Jin raised his knife and placed the knife against the neck of the wolf in his hand with his right hand. He pulled it hard, and blood instantly splattered all over the hem of his clothes.

Xie Jin picked up the wolf's body, which had no breath left, and threw it to the side.

Seeing that two of their companions had died in a short period of time, the wolves made gestures of gathering strength with their limbs at the same time, and stared at Xie Jin fiercely with their green eyes, but no wolf dared to come forward.

The leaves rustled, Zhao Shu turned her head and glanced, then turned her head back to Xie Jin. After a while, she looked at Xie Jin's back and said stiffly, "Xie Jin, the wolf is gone, the white wolf is gone!"

Xie Jin glanced towards the position of the white wolf, and saw only swaying grass and trees, with no trace of the white wolf.

Xie Jin's eyes flashed, then he raised his sword and quickly moved towards the remaining wolves.

Faced with Xie Jin's attack, the wolves no longer fought hard, but they did not run away either. Instead, they dodged back and forth, as if they were deliberately delaying time.

Xie Jin stopped, and one of the wolves also stopped in front of him. Xie Jin turned his wrist slightly and threw the sword out with all his strength.

The wolf wanted to run, but as soon as it jumped up, the sword pierced its abdomen and left it hanging on the tree.

Xie Jin walked over, pulled out the sword, and the wolf fell to the ground with a thud.

The remaining two wolves seemed to be angered by this scene. They raised their heads and howled towards the sky, then pounced towards Xie Jin.

Xie Jin stood there holding the bloody sword. He turned the hilt in his hand, with the back of the sword facing his arm and the blade facing outward, and he slashed it across the neck of the wolf that leaped towards him. With his other hand, he grabbed the neck of another wolf and forced it against the tree trunk.

As soon as he exerted force with his five fingers, he heard a "crack" and the wolf's limbs fell down instantly, and blood from its side and rear also fell to the ground.

Xie Jin walked towards Zhao Shu, stepping on the wolf's corpse. Zhao Shu looked at the wolf lying motionless on the ground, then stood up and walked towards Xie Jin.

Just as Zhao Shu was about to speak, Xie Jin grabbed her wrist and said in a deep voice, "Go!"

Without waiting for Zhao Shu's reply, Xie Jin pulled her and ran into the mountains.

Zhao Shu followed Xie Jin vigorously, fearing that she would be a hindrance at a critical moment. Wolves are extremely united animals, and it is very unreasonable that the white wolf disappeared when its companion was injured!

Xie Jin and the others didn't dare to use torches to illuminate the way. The two of them ran forward desperately under the moonlight, running for their lives.

Leaves and branches scratched across the two men's bodies, and gradually, tiny bloodstains appeared on their exposed skin. The scars were not big, and as soon as the blood beads appeared, they were dried up by the wind created by the two men.

Zhao Shu didn't know how long they had been running. She only knew that her calves were very weak. If Xie Jin hadn't been running with her all the time, she would have probably fallen to the ground.

Zhao Shu's face turned pale and she began to run out of breath. She turned to look at Xie Jin, whose face also looked ugly.

Zhao Shu turned her head and looked straight ahead, biting her lower lip tightly, and ordered herself not to look at anything except the road ahead! Don't think!
In the dark night, the two people's heavy and short breathing echoed in the mountains, and the birds and insects were startled and scattered.

Xie Jin looked back in the darkness and saw that Zhao Shu's face had become abnormally pale and her breathing was getting weaker and weaker. He frowned and slowed down his pace.

But they only slowed down and did not stop to rest. According to their current situation, once they stopped, they might not be able to run again, and then they would be in danger.

Gradually, Xie Jin heard Zhao Shu's breathing getting heavier. He stopped slowing down and pulled her to run quickly again.

Zhao Shu had never felt that there was a night as long as this one, so long that she thought the daytime would not appear.

Zhao Shu looked at the red sky in the east and the slightly white horizon. Her throat choked and her eyes felt sore. She closed her eyes suddenly, then opened them again, looked straight ahead and continued running.

It's good that the day has come, it's good that the day has come! She, she thought that the day would never come!
A strong wind came from behind. Xie Jin pushed Zhao Shu away and quickly dodged to the side.

There was a slope on the side of Zhao Shu, and after being pushed, she rolled down the slope instantly.

It seemed that the wolves were not targeting Zhao Shu. When they saw her rolling down, they did not chase her but just kept blocking Xie Jin.

Xie Jin retracted his gaze and looked around him. A dozen wolves were staring at him with green eyes and surrounding him tightly.

Xie Jin turned his head again to look at the place where Zhao Shu rolled down, then raised his sword and rushed towards the wolves.

Zhao Shu's body rolled down rapidly, flipping over and over again, and it took more than ten seconds before she stopped.

"Miss Shu? Miss Shu?" Zhao Shu heard someone calling her.

She opened her eyes with difficulty and pointed to the hillside she had rolled down: "Up there."

Xie Er understood immediately and rushed forward with his men. Before leaving, he left a guard to look after Zhao Shu.
