After the speechless embarrassment, moxiling's attitude towards Joey changed slightly. It was no longer so cold, but it didn't get closer. It was like a stranger walking together, with alienation in peace.

Joey was a little embarrassed. After reflection, he spoke and acted carefully and consciously kept a distance from him.

They were lucky. On the third day, they met the water source. A small spring came out from the ground and miraculously appeared in front of them.

Joy was pleasantly surprised. She ran up and cheered. She carefully took the water to drink. It was sweet and quenched her thirst. It was cool to her heart. She was unspeakably happy. She drank several mouthfuls in a row before she raised her head, but she touched the eyes projected on her face by moxiling.

His eyes were dark and bright, and his expression was strange. Joey's heart jumped and covered up his smile. "The water is very sweet. Don't you drink it?"

Moxiling walked over, squatted by the spring and drank the water. He was usually cold and unrestrained, but he drank the water with gentle and elegant manners, as if your son was going outing in the green mountains and waters.

Joey felt that he was useless. He was always unconsciously confused by the beauty of moxiling. Fortunately, he didn't lose his soul. He quickly looked away before he looked up.

There was a Populus euphratica forest next to the spring. It was surrounded by yellow sand all day. Suddenly, Joey was ecstatic to see a piece of green.

"Moxiling, look, there's a forest there."

Mexiling took a look, and there was a shallow smile between his eyebrows. "After drinking enough, go to the woods to avoid the sun."

Joy was so happy that she didn't notice a hint of the tenderness in her tone. She happily ran into the Populus euphratica forest and looked at the tall trees. When she was studying, she prepared for tourism, learned about some desert scenery and knew that this is Populus euphratica forest. This kind of tree is very strange. It has the reputation of "living but not dying for a thousand years, dying but not falling for a thousand years, falling but immortal for a thousand years". Tall and tall, vigorous and simple, with dense leaves, young leaves like willows and old leaves like poplar. It's strange that several leaves grow on a tree. At the moment, the shadow of the tree is whirling, blocking the sun outside, which is unspeakably cool.

What she knew at that time was the Populus euphratica forest in the peak tourism season. She heard that in autumn, the leaves changed from green to yellow and then turned into golden red. They were scattered in height and colorful in depth. They were as red as the maple leaves of Xiangshan Mountain, and gathered into a vast Golden Ocean, which attracted countless tourists and photography lovers.

It's early summer now. It's green and cloudy. It looks a little ordinary. She's a little disappointed. If she can see the beautiful scenery introduced in the book, it's what she wants.

Mexiling walked slowly over and glanced at her. "Don't you like these trees?"

"Yes, but it's not the viewing season now. It's only good in autumn and winter."

Mexiling hissed, "it's still unknown whether you have life to go out. You still have this leisure."

Joey blushed and looked up at the leaves. I don't know what's wrong. It's clear that Qingyuan has awakened, but in front of mexiling, she always unconsciously has a little girl's posture. It seems that she is not a werewolf Qingyuan, but an ordinary human Joey. In her own heart, she also hopes that she can get along well with him in this accompanying day. No matter how mexiling treats her, no matter what is waiting for her in the future, at least she can leave a good memory or two.

Mexiling found a shady place to sit down, with his back against the tree, one leg straight and one leg bent, and a few strands of hair on his forehead. He just posed casually, which made Joey's heart beat unceasingly.

She sat a little far away from him, squinted at the clouds in the sky and gently opened her mouth, "when we woke up, we were in the Gobi. Why did you come into the desert?"

"There are no animals and plants and no water source in the Gobi. There is only a dead end to stay there. Although you take risks in the desert, there is still a glimmer of vitality."

"You were gone. Why did you come back to save me?"

Mexiling looked down at his fingers and answered her after a while, "I won't let you die."

"Because my life is yours?"

Mexiling was silent.

Joey was silent and said, "I owe you. When I want to take it away, I have no complaints."

Mexiling still kept silent, and Joey didn't mind. Now he was willing to talk to her. He was very satisfied and couldn't ask for more. She stood up and looked around. Suddenly, she saw several shrubs mixed in the Populus euphratica forest, which were full of small yellow flowers. The delicate color was hidden in the green leaves. She couldn't see it if she didn't look carefully.

She bent down and looked carefully. "What's this?"

Mexiling came over and looked at the shrubs. Suddenly he said, "I won't kill you or let others kill you."

Joey thought he meant bush, but when he opened his mouth, it was this sentence. He couldn't help but be stunned. His heart knocked heavily, bringing out invisible and easy pain.

Just in a daze, he said, "this is Elaeagnus angustifolia. It's flowering now, otherwise you can pick fruits and eat them." Then he went away, leaving Joey pestling there like a fool.

What does he mean, not her life? Still... Her heart is beating wildly in her chest. She can't believe it. She has some hopes. Her heart is messy. She can't return to God for a long time.

Mexiling stood under a tree, as if peeling something. After a while, he came to her and spread out his palm, revealing a small piece of light yellow crystal. "This is salt and alkali. It's good for you to eat it."

Joey opened her mouth and looked dazed and ignorant. Moxiling took her hand, put the piece in her hand, and turned away.

"Metheline," she stopped him, "do you really want my life?"

"Yes," he answered without turning his head, "I want you to live."

Joey's eyes were full of tears. She didn't dare to move. She was afraid that she would fall down. After waking up, she hadn't cried for a long time, but in front of him, she always cried. She was strong and ran without a trace. She became so weak

A leaf fell down and fell from her eyes. Her eyes turned, and there was a little vibration. Tears were like a flood that broke the embankment. Suddenly, it was flooded, but she didn't want to let mexiling see it. She turned her back, tightened her shoulders and wept silently.

Behind him, the man stood silently and looked at her quietly. His deep eyes were like the sea under the starry sky, bright and clean with sadness. He didn't move or speak. He just stood in the shade, his face dark and indisputable.

Joey took a lot of effort to calm herself down. She knew that mexiling must have heard his cry, but he didn't come, didn't say anything, just responded in silence. She bit her teeth and wiped away her tears silently. She thought too much. He didn't want his life, but for the sake of the past, it doesn't mean he still loves her and wants her.

She put the pale yellow crystal in her mouth and took a small bite. It was slightly bitter and didn't taste very good. She asked, "what's this?"

"The secretion of Populus euphratica, which drains out the excess salt in our body, becomes saline alkali. The composition is similar to baking soda. It's not delicious, but if we eat a little, we lose too much salt in our body."

Joey showed him what he had left. "Will you eat this?"

"Well," he took it and took a bite in his mouth as if nothing had happened. "A little is enough, and more is not good." He looked at the Populus euphratica forest and said, "it's good here. First stay for two days to get something to eat, and then get something to hold water, otherwise we won't go far."

"What can I eat here? Elaeagnus angustifolia has not come to fruition yet. "

"Where there is water, there will be animals," he rubbed his fingers, looked at the distance, but changed the topic: "have you recovered from your injuries? Is there anything else I didn't find? "

Joey blushed again inexplicably, and his voice immediately slowed down. "No, it's all right. Thank you." The major injuries have recovered. Some bruises and bruises are nothing to her and need to be ignored at all.

Mexiling nodded. "Pick up some dead branches and I'll look around." As he spoke, his body flashed, swept away like streamers, and disappeared in an instant.

Every time he left like this, Joey's heart would jump. She always felt that he would never come back. Although she knew he would keep his promise, she could not resist her own wishful thinking. She laughs at herself. She is probably too worried about gain and loss and has no sense of security.

She picked up a pile of dead branches and put them on a flat ground. Populus euphratica is really "down and immortal for a thousand years". These dead branches don't know when they were left, but each one is dense, solid and strong, which is an excellent fuel.

Not long after, moxiling also came back. He threw the things hanging on his waist to the ground. Joey looked silly. She didn't know anything except lizards and snakes.

She squatted down and flipped the small bodies curiously, "what are these?"

"Gerbils and jerboas."

"Are there only two? I think they all look different. "

"Gerbils include gerbils, gerbils with long claws, Tamarix gerbils, big gerbils and so on. There are three toed and five toed jerboas."

Joey looked up at him in surprise. "You know so much."

Mexiling also squatted down and began to clean up his internal organs. He said faintly, "I've lived for more than seventy years. Shouldn't I know?"

Joey blurted out, "me too..." just said two words and stopped. He glanced at him uneasily. He was annoyed that she didn't open which pot. She was a man for two generations. The time added up is not short, but this topic... It's better not to mention it now, so as not to destroy the atmosphere.

Mexiling didn't say a word and began to assign her to fight.

As soon as they were busy, they set up branches to make a fire. Soon the aroma of barbecue spread in the air. Joey gently fanned with his hand, "it's really fragrant. It's a pity that there's a little less seasoning. "

Mexiling got up, picked some jujube flowers and sprinkled them on it. The meat fragrance was accompanied by a faint fragrance.

Joey opened his eyes. "Is that ok?"

"Try and know." Mexiling handed her a gerbil baked in his hand.

Joey took it over, blew it, gently tore off a piece of meat, chewed it, and nodded, "well, it's delicious. Fragrance. "

Her eyes were filled with happiness, as if she had eaten the most delicious thing in the world. Happiness could be contagious. Moxiling didn't find that the corners of her mouth were also holding an arc.
