Chapter 106 The White Moonlight Monk Who Criticizes Wolfhounds 7
A series of actions, just a moment.
Wu Ji's hand held Shi Qing's waist, and she supported herself on his chest, with a look of surprise in her eyes.
I saw a strange red and white snake lying at the bottom of the tree she had leaned against just now.
Shi Qing picked it up with a dead branch.
The snake actually had three heads, each of which was triangular and pointed, with a forked black tongue sticking out from between its fangs.
In the dark cave, densely packed three-headed snakes emerged from the darkness, swaying their tails and making terrifying hissing sounds.
Surrounded by them, a sticky and disgusting feeling climbed up from the back of my feet.
An extremely cold, clammy touch.
A huge fear and grief suddenly rose in Shi Qing's heart.
Her pupils shrank, her jaw tightened, and she took a few steps back with a pale face.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Noticing her strangeness, Wu Ji walked forward in confusion.
Mei Nian, who was ten steps away, also cast a worried look at him.
Wu Ji's voice brought me back to reality and the darkness in front of my eyes dissipated.
Shi Qing raised his hand to his brow and rubbed it. His cold voice was filled with obvious fatigue and confusion.
"Somehow, I feel like I've seen this three-headed snake somewhere before."
She frowned, but couldn't think of anything no matter how hard she racked her brains.
Wu Ji lowered his brows. The three-headed snake was hit by his spiritual power and now lay motionless in the grass.
A cold look flashed across his eyes, and silver spiritual power surged out from between his slender fingers. In an instant, the snake on the ground dissolved and disappeared.
"Sister, it's okay, it's just a small poisonous snake."
My own breath and warmth gradually return.
Shi Qing nodded, and the corner of his eye glanced at the back of his hand.
She suddenly grabbed Wu Ji's right hand, and the pair of red spots on her fair skin were particularly conspicuous.
"You've been bitten."
Her face was serious as she stared straight at his wound. The bite hole was extremely deep, with an abnormally dark blue color surrounding it.
Wu Ji raised his hand and took a look, not caring much, "It's just a little snake venom, don't be nervous."
He took out a green bottle from his arms calmly, held it in one hand and bit open the cork with his teeth, his eyes rolling, "Sister, how about you help me apply the medicine?"
He raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, and his thick eyelashes fluttered, revealing a delicate and affectionate tone.
Shi Qing rolled her eyes at him and released her hand that was holding him, "If you have nothing else to do, do it yourself."
Wu Ji laughed softly, "Sister is so heartless."
The tone was filled with inexplicable tenderness, and the infatuated entanglement made Shi Qing's heart a mess.
She walked past the boy expressionlessly, completely ignoring him.
The fire in the middle was burning fiercely. Shi Qing paused and picked up the roasted chicken that had fallen on the ground. After this, it was all stained with dirt and weeds.
After Wu Ji applied the medicine, he said regretfully: "I can't eat it anymore. I was thinking of asking my sister to taste my cooking skills..."
The last word was lost.
Shi Qing tore off the skin and dirty parts of the roasted chicken, then tore off a piece of lean meat and put it into his mouth.
After chewing gracefully for a while, she looked up at him and said seriously, "It's delicious."
Wu Ji was caught off guard and fell into the girl's eyes filled with orange tenderness. His thin lips slightly opened and he was speechless for the first time.
I can't explain the feeling.
Seeing him in a daze, Shi Qing's usually cold brows softened. She tore the roast chicken into two halves and placed them in front of the boy.
"Try it, it's delicious."
Afterwards, Shi Qing gave the other half to Mei Nian, who had little presence.
Wu Ji sat cross-legged beside the fire and silently tore off a piece of chicken. The meat was delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The aroma filled his mouth and left a long aftertaste.
Shi Qing sat beside him and took the half of the roasted chicken he had split. He rarely spoke a few words, "Your roasted chicken tastes a lot like my master."
"Sister's master?"
Wu Ji tilted his head to look at her in confusion, his long inky black hair falling on his shoulders as he moved.
"Yes, my master is a very good person. I have been practicing with her in Wuwang Mountain since I was six years old. Even though my master has been fasting, she still feels greedy sometimes and asks me to catch some pheasants and wild birds for her..."
Recalling those happy and leisurely days, the girl smiled softly, "Master likes to roast them and eat them. He often builds a fire in the yard and likes to sprinkle all kinds of strange powders on them. He said that it smells better this way."
When she talked about her master, her tone was so gentle, and her clear eyes and brows seemed to be covered with hazy stars, filled with endless tenderness.
Is it because of loving another person?
Wu Ji looked at her silently, and suddenly an inexplicable impulse and unwillingness surged in his heart.
What would it feel like to be loved by her?
Shocked by his own thoughts, Wu Ji suddenly lowered his eyes. His butterfly-wing-like eyelashes cast a shadow from under his eyelids, completely concealing the emotions in his eyes.
"Wu Ji, what about you?"
Her soft voice startled him.
Wu Ji was stunned for a moment, with confusion and struggle in his eyes, "What?"
Shi Qing stared at him intently, "Are you going to follow me forever?"
Is she driving him away?
Wu Ji wiped away the inexplicable thoughts in his mind and smiled: "Anyway, I have no home, I will go wherever my sister goes."
He put on a mask of grievance with ease, "I promised to repay my sister for the rest of my life."
Shi Qing chuckled, "It's up to you, but if you change your mind in the future, you can leave at any time."
The bonfire crackled and the hot, bright flames danced restlessly in the boy's eyes.
He looked at the girl with her eyes closed with a serious look on his face.
The firewood gradually burned out, leaving only a pile of black ashes on the ground. The shadows in the forest gradually dissipated, and the mist filled the air, making it seem like a paradise.
Mei Nianzheng said goodbye to Shi Qing with tears in her eyes, and walked away gradually, looking back every few steps.
Shi Qing had his own things to do, and Mei Nian repeatedly assured him that he could go home.
She no longer offered to send her off and just watched her disappear at the end of the path.
Shi Qing turned around and saw Wu Ji with a strange look on his face and his brows were tightly furrowed as if he was enduring some pain.
"what happened?"
Shi Qing stepped forward to ask, but Wu Ji shook his head and said nothing.
But his lips had lost their color and turned pale for no reason, and he looked extremely weak.
Shi Qing thought of something, looked down at his covered right hand, and grabbed it.
The wound that I had applied medicine on last night has become even worse. Now my whole hand is blue and gray, even the fingertips are not spared. I look horrible.
The snake venom has already seeped in, and I'm afraid it will spread to the limbs soon.
Her voice suddenly turned cold, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Wu Ji pursed his thin lips, his cherry-like face revealing a weak and pitiful sense of fragility, "I'm afraid my sister will worry..."
"Now I won't worry?"
Shi Qing held his wrist, his expression serious, "Your medicine is useless?"
Wu Ji looked away uncomfortably and muttered, "How could I have known that snake venom was so strong."
"Where's the snake?"
"I dissolved it."
......
For a moment, Shi Qing laughed out of anger and was speechless for a long time.
She let go of his hand and went deeper into the forest.
Wu Ji followed her with a wronged look on his face, mumbling, "Sister, don't you care about me anymore? At least you should care about me."
"Sister~"
Unable to bear his coquettishness, Shi Qing finally stopped and said, "Shut up."
Wu Ji trotted over, blinking his beautiful eyes like a large wolfhound, "Sister, don't be angry. I will tell you next time."
"I'm not angry." Still a cold voice.
"Yeah, well, don't ignore me then."
"I'm not ignoring you."
"So what is your sister doing now?"
"Looking for snakes."
"Are you concerned about me, sister?"
"elder sister?"
Wu Ji wanted to say something, but Shi Qing gave him a cold look.
"If you don't want to die, shut up and search in peace."
After catching her attention, the boy smiled, unable to suppress the curve of his lips, "Got it, sister."
