Chapter 19

Author: Liu Guangyu Tail

In the dry and hot cave, Su Su cleared the weeds on the ground a little. She turned to look at the man standing at the entrance of the cave and whispered: "We will continue our journey tomorrow morning."

The man lowered his eyelids and looked indifferent. He raised his feet and took a tentative step forward.

Su Su saw that his eyes were lifeless, so she walked over slowly, looking at him to avoid getting hurt.

It was very quiet in the cave, and Susu randomly found a place to sit down.

The night wind blew into the cave and brought a bit of coolness. The girl leaned her head against the wall, holding the stone knife in her right hand and slowly closed her eyes.

In the silence, Alex felt that the darkness in front of him was like an abyss. The inability to see anything made him feel slightly restless. He took a deep breath and felt the girl's breath.

she is nearby

Why don't you sit next to him?

Alex frowned, feeling slightly dissatisfied.

As soon as it dawned the next day, Susu opened her eyes.

She hadn't slept well that night, and her bruises were obvious now. She yawned and saw Alex still sitting on the ground.

Susu walked over slowly: "It's dawn, let's continue on our way!"

Alex licked his dry lips and slowly stood up with his hands on the ground.

The two of them were walking in the dense woods. The sun above their heads was as hot as a huge fireball. Su Su was hot and hungry. She looked around and found a stream in front of her. "Let's go find something to eat first," she said.

Then he took Alex's arm and walked towards the stream.

The man's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he followed her obediently.

There were several plump black fish swimming in the crystal clear stream.

The girl weighed the stone knife in her hand, took off her shoes and stood in the stream, staring intently at the black fish in the water.

Alex, who was by the stream, asked aloud: "What are you doing?"

"Catch fish! Don't say anything yet!"

After a moment, Su Su saw the right moment and quickly inserted the stone knife into the fish's body. In an instant, a few wisps of bright red blood scattered in the water.

After that, Susu went to find some dry firewood and planned to light a fire to grill the fish.

She sat on the ground, turning the branches in her hands with both hands. After a while, Susu felt her arms were sore, and she threw the branches on the ground.

It’s not that easy to drill wood to make fire!

The girl's red lips pursed slightly, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes. Suddenly, she raised her eyes and looked at Alex beside her.

She stood up from the ground and handed the branch to Alex: "Now, come and try to make fire by drilling wood."

The man's thin lips parted slightly: "Drill wood to make fire?"

Susu taught him the method, and then squatted aside and watched the man's movements.

After a moment, gray smoke emitted from the contact surface between the small branch and the wood.

Su Su's eyes flashed with surprise, and she said excitedly: "That's it, well done!"

Alex lowered his eyes, and the weak heat on the wood hit his hand. He was slightly surprised in his heart that he didn't expect that fire could be produced in this way.

Alex turned the branches with his big hands, and soon sparks appeared. Susu quickly added some hay on top.

After that, Susu asked Alex to fill it with dry firewood from time to time, and she began to process the fish.



After eating the grilled fish, the two continued their journey.

The sound of thunder suddenly came from the sky, "Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom."

Alex listened to the sound of the wind around him and whispered: "There will be a heavy rain later, let's find a cave first." As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a warm touch on his wrist.

Susu held his wrist tightly, her face was a little solemn, and her voice was trembling: "Tighten me!"

She grabbed his wrist and ran towards the hillside.

There were violent sand and flying rocks, and a sudden heavy rain. The raindrops fell directly on the ground. In a moment, the pits on the ground were filled with water.

Susu was so fascinated by the sand that she couldn't open her eyes. She covered her mouth and nose with one hand and held the man's wrist tightly with the other. She tried her best to walk towards the top of the mountain.

Alex looked down at the girl in front of him, and he could imagine: her black hair was already wet, her petite figure had a trace of tragedy, and she was leading him forward with firm steps.

The emotion in the man's eyes was dark and unclear, and for a moment, he suddenly raised the corners of his lips.

Susu looked at the cave not far away, and she felt that this journey had never been longer.
