Xiao Ai still walked towards me calmly.

"What did you see? A trout?"

"No, it's a person." I could only give the strongest reply to Xiao Ai's indifference.

"Who is it?" Xiao Ai seemed to be interested and ran over.

"A man-made thing. Oh, I told you not to be so anxious, why don't you wait until I finish speaking?" I looked at her sarcastically.

She wanted to kick me again, but this time I reacted quickly and ducked aside.

"I look like a human face, you can see for yourself."

Xiao Ai leaned down and looked at it, it was a human face carved on the stone.

"Help me stop the water. I'll dig this out and see. It shouldn't be very big." Xiao Ai said to me.

"Block it?" After a moment of reaction, I understood what she meant. So I found a lot of stones and dead trees from around, surrounded the water on the stone face, and then used the concave shape I picked up just now

The stone scoops water out.

Xiao Ai kept digging there, and all he could hear was the sound of the knife rubbing against the stone, which was very harsh. Fortunately, the stone was not glass, otherwise I would have gone crazy.

In about an hour or so, the water was scooped out and the stone was leaked out. It was a little larger than expected, about a meter long in rectangular shape, but the workmanship was very simple, with a few circles carved on the top. It looked like

A human face.

Xiao Ai, the meditator, asked me: "Have you seen this?"

At this moment, I was dancing excitedly on the shore, because after I scooped out the enclosed water, I actually found a fish, which looked like it weighed two or three kilograms. It was ready for soup at night.

Hearing Xiao Ai's cry, I turned my head and took a look. It did look familiar.

"Isn't this the totem of the Tuva people?" I said.

"Have you seen it before?"

"No, I introduced it when I was watching TV before. We flew directly to Kanas Airport, so we didn't have the chance to see it. This is something you can see when you walk through the desert from Urumqi." I said proudly.

With.

"Help me lift it up and take a look."

This stone is really not light, and it took a lot of effort to hold it upright. It looks a bit scary when it is put upright, like a cannibal, with its mouth open and drooling at you.

"This is not a totem." Xiao Ai stared at the stone and said, and then added: "Maybe it's not just a totem."

"What is that? You wouldn't say it's a Tuvan decoration, right?"

"This should be the beast-suppressing stone. If my guess is correct, there should be many such stones around the lake."

"The beast-suppressing stone? Is it to suppress the lake monster?"

"Maybe so, I don't know."

I looked at the stone carefully. In the sun and sunset, it looked purple. "It's just like the circles drawn by a child. It's not very beautiful."

With a thud, I was accidentally kicked to the ground by Xiao Ai.

"Are you done? Since you're a woman and I don't care about you, you're going to kick me in the nose and face." I yelled at her.

Xiao Ai ignored me and just kept looking at the stone.

I picked up a small stone and threw it at her, thinking I would collect interest first.

Just when the stone was about to hit her head, she suddenly turned around and shouted: "There is something moving on this stone."

Then the stone hit her firmly on the nose. I thought I could see it, and the tears came to her eyes.

Xiao Ai knelt on the ground and held her nose for about five minutes. I didn't dare to move during these five minutes, wondering how she would retaliate against me. Would she remove one of my arms or legs?

Slowly she stood up and walked towards me.

"What the hell, Xiao Ai, I just had nothing to do and wanted to play around, but I didn't throw correctly." I defended.

Xiao Ai flew out a folding knife and stuck it on the ground next to my left hand. I was so scared that my heart stopped for ten seconds.

"I'll keep track of the debt this time, and we'll settle it together when we get back." Xiao Ai said fiercely.

"How many more times are you kicking me?" I muttered unconsciously.

Without saying anything, Xiao Ai flew over with a folding knife and inserted it into the ground next to my right hand.

"Okay, I was wrong. What did you find on the stone?" My face was ashen.

Xiao Ai snorted and ignored me.

I could clearly see a red mark on the bridge of her nose. It seemed like the trouble was serious.

I had no choice but to stare at the stone for a while.

There are spots on the stone, and I can't see clearly what's there, but it's obviously different from when I first made it. It seems that the texture of the stone has changed.

"It seems to be different from just now!" I said to Xiao Ai.

"Humph" Xiao Ai still ignored me.

Feeling bored, I ran away dejectedly to collect the fish, trying to have a good meal in the evening to calm her down.

Xiao Ai walked back into the woods without saying a word.

"Why are you going? The meal is almost ready."

She still left without saying a word.

This little girl said just now that she would settle the score with me when she got back. Why has she turned against me now? Could it be that she thought I was in the way and left me alone to run away?

Forget it, just run away. There are fish to eat and water to drink by this lake. I won't die in a month. Who can't wait for rescue?

I didn't chase her, and I was grilling the fish with all my heart.

About thirty minutes later, Xiao Ai came back again, carrying two wild ducks in his hands.

"Duck tomorrow?" I joked.

"I changed my mind, we won't go back." Xiao Ai actually said something, but I would rather she didn't say this.

"Are you going to use ducks to catch lake monsters?"

Xiao Ai didn't say anything, but took the grilled fish from my hand, tore off two pieces of fish meat and threw them to me.

This little girl is really overbearing and unreasonable. She kicked me so many times and I don’t even care. Look at her small-mindedness.

After eating, I spread some leaves on the ground and slept. Mr. Bei once said that sleeping in direct contact with the ground will cause the human body to lose body temperature too quickly. Looking at me, I still look decent, and I guess I still have some talent for survival in the wild.

Xiao Ai just sat there and looked at the lake. This girl, I don't care whether she likes to sleep or not.

I woke up relatively early the next day, and it was just a little bright. I was going to kill the two ducks quietly and eat roast duck. But I saw Xiao Ai still sitting there straight.

Wipe it? Is this girl used to sleeping sitting up? I carefully stretched my feet in front of her and shook them twice, trying not to make any noise.

Sure enough, there was no reaction at all. This world is full of wonders. If I were to sleep sitting down, I would at least have a backrest. If I slept like this, I would definitely have to hit my head against a rock.

It seems that she has been training hard enough in the field. The more she does this, the more it means that she will hear the slightest movement on my part. Forget it, I'd better not take advantage of those two ducks.

Look at the still-bright sky, look around, and then take a restful sleep.

Just close your eyes, wait? Something seems wrong.

"Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai. The stone is gone." I quickly got up and looked around.

Xiao Ai also opened his eyes and looked around.

"Did you hear anything last night?" Xiao Ai asked.

"Are you willing to talk to me?" I deliberately changed the subject. Seeing that Xiao Ai wanted to make a move again, I hurriedly avoided and said, "No."

"It seems that this place is not that safe. Let's go upstream today."

"Why go upstream instead of downstream?" I asked.

Xiao Ai looked at me sideways and stood up to leave. I thought to myself, this woman is really a bit unreasonable. It seems that the cold beauty state she had before was most suitable for her. Now thinking about her kawaii expression, she is really

A kind of irony.

"Hey, wait for me." Xiao Ai had already walked far away carrying the duck.

The road by the lake is actually not easy to walk, it is all muddy and slippery. If you are not careful, you will fall into the lake. With the temperature like this, falling down will basically mean death. There is no spare dry clothes.

Xiao Ai walked steadily in front, and I carefully followed behind. It took more than two hours to walk a few kilometers.

Suddenly Xiao Ai stopped.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"We can't go any further. If we go any further, we will go deep into the Altai Mountains, and no one will be able to save us."

"Then what should I do? Are you waiting here for rescue?"

"Let's take a rest." After saying that, Xiao Ai sat down and fell asleep again.

"Damn, this skill is good, but it's a pity that I don't know it."

I sat next to me and drank some water, planning to go to the lake to catch another fish to eat. This girl didn't seem to want to treat me to a duck, and I wouldn't let you eat the fish I caught.
