516 Entering the Cave
After returning home, Gu Xiaowan developed a high fever at night. As soon as she closed her eyes, she saw the snake crawling around her. Since then, Gu Xiaowan has developed a strong sense of fear towards this reptile!
"Don't be afraid, I'm with you, don't be afraid." Qin Yezhi hugged Gu Xiaowan tightly and said in a low voice.
Gu Xiaowan's eyes blushed instantly, and tears flowed down her cheeks again, but, just now, they were tears of fear, but this time they were tears of relief.
His back, which had been tense since he met the snake just now, relaxed a little.
Qin Yezhi hugged Gu Xiaowan and was about to walk past the snake, but Gu Xiaowan couldn't lift that foot, hesitating in place, letting the wind and rain hit this petite body.
Gu Xiaowan wrapped her arms around Qin Yezhi's waist tightly, buried her face in Qin Yezhi's chest, and her shoulders trembled slightly.
The legs couldn't move a step.
Qin Yezhi hugged Gu Xiaowan in distress, knowing that Gu Xiaowan was afraid of snakes, and then turned around and carried Gu Xiaowan behind her back.
"Xiaowan, don't be afraid, with me, even if there is a sea of swords and flames in front of you, don't be afraid! I will protect you!" Qin Yezhi said firmly with Gu Xiaowan behind him.
Then, carrying Gu Xiaowan on his back, he stepped over the snake that could no longer move, and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
Gu Xiaowan lay on Qin Yezhi's broad shoulders.
Qin Yezhi's words just now were like the warm sun in the spring, which warmed her already cold heart.
Such a terrifying afternoon, yet so comforting.
It's not that she has no one to hurt, no one to take care of, no one to protect her.
Without her parents, there are still people standing behind her, sheltering her from the wind and rain, and propping up a dream for her.
Gu Xiaowan wiped her face heavily, not knowing whether it was tears or rain. Although the eye sockets were still red, they were unusually firm, looking at the cave in front of them, bursting out with a fearless light.
After finally passing through the dense forest, Qin Yezhi carried Gu Xiaowan on his back, and finally came to the foot of a mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there was a place in the air, although it could not be called a cave, but this place, sheltered from the rain and sheltered from the rain. The wind is still good, but there is no way to make a fire, otherwise, they really protest against starting a fire and drying their clothes.
Qin Yuzhi walked at the foot of this mountain, looked at it, and was sure that there was no danger, so he found a big rock behind which the rain and wind couldn't blow, and put Gu Xiaowan down.
Gu Xiaowan raised her head and looked up at Qin Yezhi.
Gu Xiaowan was already soaked all over her body, her hair was soaking wet, dripping with water constantly, her hair had already spread out, and her thick jet-black hair was draped behind her head, like a smooth black satin cloth.
Qin Yezhi looked at Gu Xiaowan's fair and clear face with distress. After being washed away by the rain, it became even paler. His eyes were slightly red because he had just cried, and there were still tears in the corners of his eyes. Just like a poor kitten, after finally finding a place to shelter from the wind and rain after the rain, the aggrieved look in his eyes made people feel distressed and almost suffocate.
Qin Yezhi involuntarily stretched out his hand and gently wiped the rainwater off Gu Xiaowan's face. The long eyelashes still had raindrops or teardrops on them, and they were about to drip down tremblingly. And the red lips, at this moment, are also slightly pale due to the cold.
So innocent and beautiful, so soft and lovely.
Qin Yezhi hurriedly lowered his head, trying to suppress a sudden urge in his heart, panting heavily.
Gu Xiaowan didn't think so much, thinking that Qin Yezhi was tired after walking so long behind her back just now. He quickly took Qin Yezhi's hand and pulled him over a little: "Brother Qin, there will be rain coming in from your place, come here a little bit!"
Hearing this, Qin Yezhi returned to his usual expression and said with a smile, "It's still windy in this place, otherwise, we can build a fire and dry the clothes."
Suddenly, Qin Yezhi looked inside, as if he had discovered a new continent, and said happily, "Xiaowan, it seems to be a cave inside!"
There is no wind in the cave, so it is very easy to burn the fire.
I don't know how long this torrential rain will last, but no matter how long it will last, Gu Xiaowan's lips and face are pale at this moment, and she must be cold. Qin Yezhi wanted to start a fire as soon as possible to keep Gu Xiaowan warm!
But, where is the fire?
There is no clean place on the body, even if there is a fire stick on the body, I am afraid that it will already be soaked.
Qin Yezhi didn't even think about it, so he took Gu Xiaowan's hand and squeezed Gu Xiaowan's small hand into his palm. That soft, boneless little hand was quietly held in the palm of his hand.
This time, perhaps the most embarrassing one, but the happiest one.
Gu Xiaowan's hand was held in Qin Yezhi's hand, and the temperature from the palm of his hand made the whole person instantly warm a little.
Qin Yezhi pulled Gu Xiaowan by his side and walked carefully into the cave.
The more you go inside, the less wind there is. Although you can't see your fingers, you can tell by your senses that this is definitely a cave, and it's a good place to shelter from the wind and rain.
When he came to the cave, he could barely see what was in front of him. Qin Yezhi always held Gu Xiaowan's hand and never let go. Qin Yezhi took out the dagger in his arms, groped to the edge of a stone, and stroked hard, the dagger pushed out with force, bursting out sparks.
Qin Yezhi and Gu Xiaowan's clothes were all soaked through.
It is completely impossible to use clothes to start a fire. You can only see if there are leaves that are easy to ignite in the cave.
Qin Yezhi searched for a while, and really found a bunch of them.
Qin Yezhi used his dagger to swipe hard on the stone, hitting some sparks. After a long time of work, he finally set the pile of dry leaves on fire.
In the beginning, it was just a little fire. In the end, as Qin Yezhi added some dry wood that was easy to burn, the fire became more and more vigorous.
Gu Xiaowan leaned on Qin Yezhi's body and happily watched the fire lit in front of her.
The fire became more and more prosperous, and finally, that pile of fire was burning roaringly.
