I can't find my shoes for some reason, and my pants.

At the edge of the stream, Song Ying just found her top. At this moment, she could only put on her top in a hurry, still staggering to follow Luo Qiu's pace.

It is very troublesome to walk with someone on your side, so it didn't take long for Luo Qiu to carry Gan Hong on his back.

Gan Hong's will was very strong, and she managed to hold on without fainting from the pain. However, she didn't have the strength to speak at this time, and her face was as pale as paper.

The grass on the ground was very sharp, but after a while, Song Ying's legs had been cut with many small wounds by the sharp grass, and her ankles were injured when she attacked the savages, which seemed to have greatly affected her mobility. Big trouble.

It's just that she didn't say a word or cry out in pain along the way... because she was afraid that if she stopped, she would stop Luo Qiu's journey, which would make Gan Hong even more dangerous.

She never had time to ask Luo Qiu how he survived, and he still had a dead head like a shotgun in his hand. It seemed that he could always treat himself as a mute when others didn't take the initiative to ask.

It probably didn't take long... maybe only ten minutes, but Song Ying seemed to have experienced half a century.

Luo Qiu suddenly stopped, "We're here, that's it."

Song Ying and Gan Hong were stunned and looked forward. At this time, as Luo Qiu walked a few steps forward, the two of them actually saw a house appearing here.

It was generally built with wood and was located on a flat floor. An open space was opened around the house and surrounded by a fence, but the open space was already overgrown with weeds, and it seemed that no one had lived there for a long time.

Luo Qiu carried Gan Hong on his back and walked in first. After opening the door, he found that the wooden house was much simpler than expected.

There is no electricity in this place, and the lighting tools are firewood.

At this time, a pile of firewood had been lit in a pit in the center of the floor of the house. There was also an old iron pot sitting on the fire, with steam rising from it, and something was being cooked.

Luo Qiu put Gan Hong down and spread some dry weeds on the ground. Then Luo Qiu found some branches and wooden boards, and fixed Gan Hong's back with ropes found in the house.

"Let's just deal with it for now," Luo Qiu looked at Gan Hong and said softly.

Gan Hong could only blink her eyes, saying that she knew that she did understand that the conditions here were very crude, and it was good to be able to temporarily fix her spine.

"Stop standing and go in front of the fire." Luo Qiu turned around and looked at Song Ying, "Although the weather is quite hot, this place is also humid. It's best to dry it off, otherwise you will catch a cold. "

Song Ying nodded subconsciously. She suddenly discovered something.

She wasn't wearing any pants, and her top was actually a bit short. For this reason, she couldn't help but awkwardly pull off her clothes, pulling them down as far as her thighs.

I still feel like I can't hide it... Song Ying gritted her teeth, but saw that Luo Qiu didn't look at him at this time, but opened the lid of the iron pot.

Some boiling water is boiled here, and Luo Qiu is beginning to pour the boiling water out. The container used looked like a clay pot for cooking, probably also found in this wooden house.

"Wash the wounds with warm water later." Luo Qiu moved a pot of hot water in front of Song Ying and pointed to the cuts on her legs.

"Thank...thank you." Song Ying said these two words with great difficulty.

"Thank me for what?" Luo Qiu smiled slightly.

Song Ying gritted her teeth and said with great difficulty: "Thank you... for saving us."

Luo Qiu said, "If it were me, would you save me?"

"Yes... yes." Gan Hong's weak voice came from behind.

Luo Qiu turned his head and glanced, then looked at Song Ying. She simply didn't answer this time, but nodded.

Luo Qiu said: "In this case, there is no need to thank you."

Song Ying sighed. She had to admit that Luo Qiu was the most difficult type for her to deal with. The Song family said that people started from scratch. When Song Ying was growing up, the people she met were basically rough types.

Although Song Haoran is also a polite and gentle person, he is also a different type from Luo Qiu... Relatively speaking, Song Haoran is more like a ruffian, but with an elegant demeanor, he can barely be described as a yuppie.

I couldn't think about it anymore... Song Ying sighed secretly, then looked around the room, and simply changed the subject, "Speaking of which, what's the matter with you? This room... and your shotgun?"

Luo Qiu blinked and said, "Me? I seem to be very lucky. I got caught on a branch after falling and didn't suffer much damage. But I also lost a lot of energy when I came down."

"What a fate..." Song Ying frowned, thinking that Luo Qiu was probably thrown out of the car when the car fell off a cliff, and then landed somewhere else.

But... that being said, the place where he fell shouldn't be too far away from himself and Gan Hong... This damn thick fog came at the perfect time.

"As for this house, I found it accidentally." Luo Qiu also looked around and said, "This should have existed originally. I thought it was very convenient, so I used it temporarily."

Song Ying didn't hear anything wrong in these words...but she always felt that something was wrong.

"This house is probably inhabited by a hunter, right?" Luo Qiu guessed: "There are some hunting tools here, as well as a shotgun. I took a look and found that it was still usable. I just heard some strange noises outside. , so we took him out together... What did you encounter just now? It looked pretty big to me, was it a bear?"

"You don't even know what it is, so you dare to shoot?" Song Ying was stunned.

Luo Qiu asked curiously: "Shouldn't we shoot?"

"This..." Song Ying shook her head, "Forget it. But I don't think you want to know what that thing is... I'm afraid you won't believe it if I tell you."

Luo Qiu chuckled lightly and said, "If there are even zombies and a blind gentleman who can use flying swords, I think I can still accept it."

Song Ying said: "It's a savage with long hair, a big stick, and great strength!"

"In this way..." Luo Qiu nodded, and then said nothing. Not long after, Gan Hong, who was lying behind, suddenly closed his eyes.

Song Ying nervously crawled to Gan Hong's side and probed Gan Hong's nose with trembling hands.

"It's better to pass out temporarily if you hold on. This will at least relax the brain." Luo Qiu said softly from the side, and at the same time, he had a piece of cloth dipped in hot water in his hand.

"I'll do it." Song Ying took the hot cloth directly from Luo Qiu's hand and began to wipe Gan Hong's cheeks carefully.

"Are you hungry? I made something to eat." Luo Qiu suddenly said at this moment.

"Eat?" Song Ying was stunned and subconsciously looked at Luo Qiu.

In fact, this house still has a kitchen-like place. The fire pit in the center is probably just for heating and boiling water... Luo Qiu was walking in front of a stove at this moment.

It turned out that the fire in the stove had not been extinguished, and after opening the lid of the cauldron, a rich aroma could be smelled.

Soon after, Luo Qiu filled a wooden bowl with some food in the pot and walked to Song Ying. She glanced at it. It was probably something like a borscht stew.

Song Ying couldn't help but frowned and said strangely: "It looks like no one has lived in this place for at least ten years... Where did you get the food?"

"There are some wild vegetables outside that are edible." Luo Qiu said calmly: "As for the seasonings, I found some sugar and salt in the house... What? Is there a problem? There is no way I can go to the vegetable market to buy things from here. , and then come back here."

Come to think of it...

Song Ying couldn't resist her hunger, so she had to pick up the bowl of mixed vegetables, took a small sip, and then started to swallow it in large gulps. She almost burned her tongue because of this. .

It must be because I am too hungry. Even the leftovers from the previous night can be eaten very delicious now... So it is definitely not because this thing tastes good... Why is it so delicious?

But, can we really find so many edible wild vegetables in the nearby barren mountains? What's going on with the corn kernels here? And onions and stuff...

Seeing Luo Qiu walk to the stove again and continue to fill another bowl, Song Ying actually admired this guy's ability, "You seem to be quite good at survival skills in the wild? The mushrooms here, you Aren’t you afraid of picking poisonous ones?”

Luo Qiu said calmly: "When I was young, I went to a two-person summer camp with my father during one summer vacation. I learned some skills at that time."

"Summer camp for two people?" Song Ying was startled.

Luo Qiu said: "I don't remember the details clearly, and I was quite young at the time. Probably a friend of my father invited him to do something, right? It seemed like an army stationed in the big forest. Then my father He was afraid that I would be absent during the summer vacation, so he simply took me with him. Hmm... It was quite an interesting experience. Speaking of which, I remember that I met a little girl who was lost. I don’t know what happened to her. "

"This plot is a bit familiar..." Song Ying looked at Luo Qiu strangely, and suddenly joked: "Then the little girl has remembered you deeply in her heart since then. She has never forgotten you for many years. No matter how good a man is, he will always remember you." It cannot be replaced. One day, she finally met the little boy from back then, and then they started a fierce pursuit or something?"

"Do you like reading comics?" Luo Qiu suddenly asked.

Song Ying pursed her lips and snorted: "None of your business!"

"Do you still want to eat?" Luo Qiu smiled.

So Song Ying reluctantly pushed out the empty second wooden bowl.

Luo Qiu took it directly, and then said: "Wait a minute, you can feed Gan Hong something to eat, it will actually be good to replenish her strength."

"I know." Song Ying nodded.

In fact, apart from his annoying paralyzed face, this guy is really good in other aspects...at least, he's not very lustful.

…

After feeding her some food, Gan Hong looked better, but maybe it was just an illusion because she never woke up.

Song Ying was exhausted physically and mentally, so she hugged her knees and sat next to the fire. Her clothes had already been dried. She rested her head on her knees and looked at Gan Hong silently.

It's been like this for a while.

The thick white fog outside has dissipated a lot. At this time, there is only a thin layer, and I can barely see far away.

The sound of chopping firewood could be heard outside the house. Luo Qiu said that he planned to light a fire outside the house to create thick smoke. If there were rescuers, they should be able to see the thick smoke and find them. It was a good idea... As for the fact that it had been abandoned for many years. Song Ying has no idea why there are such things as firewood in the wooden house.

After a while, Luo Qiu walked in, "The fire is already on, we just wait."

"Yeah." Song Ying responded casually.

Luo Qiu brought some boiled water in a wooden cup, "Drink some?"

"Yes." Song Ying took it, but she just held it with both hands and had no intention of drinking it. But she suddenly asked: "You...do you really have no plans to stay in the Song family for a long time?"

Luo Qiu asked, "Apart from Mr. Song's relationship, don't you personally hope that I can leave as soon as possible?"

Song Ying was speechless for a moment... Indeed, her attitude has always been lukewarm, even a bit targeted. But after she had personally verified that Luo Qiu was indeed a descendant of the Song family, things became a little more subtle.

The Song family's education is very strict, especially in the education of kinship and friendship. It's a pity that Song Ying doesn't have any peers of her own. She has always been the only one in this generation.

All of a sudden or something...

"Do you know why I suddenly pulled you out to race last night?" Song Ying looked at Luo Qiu and said.

"Those words you said to me in the car." Luo Qiu thought for a while, "You suddenly want to keep me... Why? Is it really just for your grandpa, so you can accept even people you hate?"

"I don't hate it anymore... Actually." Song Ying didn't look at Luo Qiu this time. "Although I can't say that I like her, I still think it's acceptable... Don't think too much about it! I just think that if Song Qiu is like this now, If there is one more person in the family, it is at least a good thing. People are quite selfish, at least they would rather give things to their relatives than take advantage of outsiders. Grandpa has always hoped that the Song family can spread its branches. "

"It's useless for me to ask for these things." Luo Qiu shook his head, "Maybe if I leave, it won't affect the relationship between me and the Song family. Since this blood relationship exists, then I think it's better if I stay here. What does it matter if we live together? Since ancient times, brothers have separated and formed their own families. There is no need to live in groups, right?"

"You don't plan to stay anyway, right?" Song Ying said suddenly.

Luo Qiu nodded directly.

Song Ying bit her tongue at this moment and suddenly said: "What if grandpa insists on marrying me to you?"

Luo Qiu opened his mouth...Does Mr. Song really have this plan? And it seems that you have already discussed this issue with Song Ying? Putting it this way, there seems to be a trace of Song Ying suddenly pulling herself out to race last night.

And she seemed to have some unfinished meaning in her words in the car...could this be what happened?

"I have a girlfriend."
