Chapter 738 Thanks to Mr. Ermao

The tears couldn't be stopped, as if I wanted to express all the grievances I felt this night.

The more she cried, the more scared she became. What if she hadn't just woken up when the hungry wolf came? What if she didn't have a dagger on her body? What if the hungry wolf hesitated for some reason and seemed hesitant in its actions? What if Li Lei Didn't arrive in time...

Only then did she realize that she was very lucky to survive.

She cried so hard that her heart broke. It was the most instinctive fear originating from the depths of human heart. Her body was trembling, she hugged his broad shoulders tightly and buried her face in his arms.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Li Lei comforted her softly, stroking her soft long hair with his somewhat rough hands. His eyes, however, calmly looked around, looking from the wolf he killed, to quickly seeing the entire cave environment, and then looking at the direction of the wind outside, frowning slightly.

"Where's the injury?" he asked, "I'll bandage it for you."

Xia Ling shook her head. The life-and-death struggle just now was too intense. She was so nervous that she even forgot about the pain.

Li Lei slightly pulled her away from him and checked her injuries. As soon as the two of them separated, her whole body was exposed - on her chest, arms, waist... The mountaineering jacket on the outside was extremely damaged, and the stuffing inside had almost scattered, and it was stained with blood. and the stench filled the cave.

Li Lei saw that there were no major wounds on her body and breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out the medicine bag and quickly stopped the bleeding and bandaged her.

She hadn't recovered from the shock just now, so she remained motionless and allowed him to bandage her. After a long while, she felt her thoughts gradually return to her mind. She moved her lips, and her first question was: "We've found Shao Hui." ?"

His voice was hoarse, like the wind and frost outside.

Li Lei kept bandaging her: "We found it. The child fell into a gap in a cave with a hot spring. It's very safe. But her ankle is a little sprained. Although it's not broken, it's not easy to walk." He said. After taking care of the last injury on her body, "It's too dark and it's too dangerous to bring him back directly. I'm here to pick you up. When it gets light, you and I will go there to meet him."

"Really?" She looked at him eagerly, "You didn't lie to me?"

"How could it be?" Li Lei smiled, "Our son is very clever. When I went there, he had already set his own bones. Without a lighter, he used the heat of the hot spring to melt snow water, ate dry food, and gained strength and strength. He is in good spirits. He said, don't worry mom, he has lived in the mountains with his uncle since he was a child, so he is not afraid."

Xia Ling was relieved.

However, he became worried again the next second: "It's so dark outside and he's still so young... Li Lei, why don't you stay with him over there? Come back to me when it gets dark?"

Li Lei was silent for a moment and then said, "I'm always not at peace with myself."

He originally planned to come back to her at dawn, but as if he had a premonition, he became restless and inexplicable emotions controlling him, making him unable to control the urge to come back no matter what.

Maybe, this is the meaning of sycamore wood?

Every time she was in danger, he would always be by her side.

Fortunately, he's back.

But Xia Ling asked, "Will there be ferocious beasts over there?" She glanced at the dead body of the hungry wolf in the cave and couldn't help but tremble. What if Shao Hui's side also got ferocious beasts?

When talking about this issue, Li Lei looked a little strange.

"No." After a pause, he said, "He's... very safe there."

Xia Ling was still worried and wanted to fly to Shao Hui: "Let's go quickly."

"Wait a minute," Li Lei said, "your hiking clothes are damaged, and you will freeze to death if you go out like this. So, you can find a tarpaulin from my backpack, as well as some needle and thread, and I will help you deal with it. "As he said that, he had already begun to collect the floc fillings scattered on the ground.

Xia Ling followed her words and rummaged through his backpack. Now she was calmer, and then she felt that the stench on her body was so unbearable. "What exactly is the stuffing in mountaineering clothes? It stinks." Xia Ling said.

"It's just goose down." Li Lei replied.

"Then this smell...?"

"That's... Er Mao's liquid excrement." Li Lei thought of a slightly euphemistic way of saying it.

When Xia Ling heard this, she almost wanted to vomit. No wonder the smell on her body was so weird and strong, and it also contained bursts of irritation. Her face looked worse than when she just saw the hungry wolf: "What did you say?!"

After getting started, Li Lei became more confident: "This mountaineering suit is custom-made, and I specially asked them to treat the goose down like this. You know, the advance team has already reported that there are wild beasts in the mountains, and I thought that using the scent of Er Mao could help Shock them." Ermao is a very strong leopard, the kind that can challenge a tiger. Ordinary snow leopards and wolves can only take a detour when they see it. Using its scent can indeed avoid many dangers. beast. Li Lei cleverly sealed its scent in his mountaineering clothes so that humans could not smell it, so he did not tell Xia Ling. However, this smell can be keenly detected by wild animals.

If the hungry wolf hadn't been too hungry, he wouldn't have had the courage to take the risk.

Xia Ling: "..."

Only then did she realize what she had been wearing for so many days. Thinking about it made her feel very...complex. However, this hiking jacket with added materials did come in handy. She guessed that the reason why the hungry wolf hesitated when fighting her was because of the smell of Ermao.

She thanked the strong leopard in her heart.

Cooperating with Li Lei, he used a waterproof cloth to mend the gaps in the mountaineering clothes.

"Okay, let's go." Li Lei reached out to her and pulled her up from the ground.

They couldn't stay here - there was blood everywhere in the cave, and the wind direction was very unfavorable to them, and the smell of blood would soon spread deeper into the mountain.

They must leave immediately before other beasts come to investigate.

After walking out of the cave, the sky was already filled with misty dawn, and a first-quarter moon, as thin as a cicada's wing, hung high in the sky. Its clear and cold light reflected the ice and snow, making it look like a lonely fairyland.

Her long hair was blowing.

Li Lei put her hood tighter on and motioned her to follow in his footsteps.

Step by step, he led her towards Shao Hui's location.

After walking for about two hours, we turned around a large frozen stone, revealing a narrow gap inside. Li Lei said to Xia Ling: "Shao Hui is hiding here, be careful, I will take you down."

He squeezed into the gap first, took over Xia Ling's equipment, and brought in her people.

Xia Ling looked around and saw a small hot spring and——

A sight that left her speechless.
