I want you to carry me
"Ugh …" "No, I can't walk anymore. I'm going to die of exhaustion!"
At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, when the four of them reached the downhill road of the second mountain, Mao Xiaoting who was so tired that she couldn't walk properly finally stopped and sat on a tree stump by the side of the road, saying with a painful expression.
Running up the mountain was originally a very exhausting process, not to mention the fact that she had to spend several hours walking the mountain roads in the forest as a person who was used to living in a big city, so it was only natural that she couldn't adapt to it.
As for A Jin and A Wen, their speed of advance had clearly slowed down. Even for Locals s like them who had grown up in the forest, walking up the mountain road for four to five hours straight was still an arduous task. At the end of the day, they were just ordinary humans.
If there was anyone who could still hold on, Xiang Anjie would undoubtedly be the only one.
Facing these three people's exhausted faces, Xiang Anjie remained calm: "A Wen, A Jin, how much longer do we have to walk before we arrive?"
"Mm …" We've already traveled more than half the distance! "
A Wen took a sip of water and took a deep breath. He pointed to the mountain in front of him and said: "We just need to go over that mountain again and we will reach there. Baishamian will be at the foot of the mountain behind Luo Ye Mountain."
"If that's the case, then let's rest for a bit!"
Saying that, Xiang Anjie took out two bottles of water from his bag, and handed one bottle to Mao Xiaoting, while opening one for himself.
"Ah?" "Is it that far away?"
Hearing this, Mao Xiaoting's face was filled with grief: "Look at the mountain and see if it's a horse or a mountain that is hard to walk on. I feel that when I reach that village, I will definitely die of exhaustion."
Hearing her complaints, Xiang Anjie did not bother with his, and retrieved his phone instead.
"Hmm? No signal? "
When he saw that there was no signal on his phone, he couldn't help but frown.
"That's right!"
A Wen sat at the side and said, "Although Baishamian and our village are separated by three mountains and two rivers, and the distance between us is not more than five kilometers, but because Baishamian is located in the mountains, although the inside of the village is electrified, there is no signal. It can be said that it is a small village that usually doesn't interact with the outside world, but it is precisely because of this kind of isolation that Baishamian still retains many of the Miao Clan's ancient traditions, such as Doctor Miao, such as the Miao Clan's Gu. It is precisely because of this, that the traditional customs of the Baishamian have been incorporated into the provincial non-material cultural heritage.
"Is that so? But since you live in the mountains, why don't you think about moving out? "The immigration policy should be pretty good right now. If you want, you can move the entire village to your town, right?"
After drinking saliva and eating the food that A Jin gave him, Mao Xiaoting's physical strength recovered a little. At the very least, his speech wasn't as dispirited as before.
"You're right, the entire village seems to have been planning to move out from Baishamian, but it's said that some of the older villagers in the village aren't willing to leave, and most of them are already used to living a peaceful life in the mountains, so in the end, it's just not going to happen. However, the government has been wanting to improve the living conditions of the Baishamian for the past few years, not only electrifying them, but also installing a satellite television reception system on every household in the village so that they can watch TV.
"Aiyo, directly by air? This is a pretty good idea, at least it's much better than taking this damned mountain road! "
At this time, Mao Xiaoting did not think too much into it, and directly blurted out.
However, after hearing these words, A Jin and A Wen looked at each other, then A Jin looked at Mao Xiaoting with a serious expression and said, "Xiao Ting, you can say such words now, but you can absolutely not say them ever again after entering the village!"
"Oh? "Why?"
Mao Xiaoting was a little surprised, thinking that she did not say any bad words.
A Wen then explained, "You should know that the ancestors of the Miao Clan have believed in the God of Nature since the ancient times. In our Miao Clan's traditional culture, mountains are spiritual, water is also spiritual. Of course, that's all in the past, and most of us don't care about that anymore, but as I've said before, because this Baishamian is located in the mountains and is isolated from the world, she still maintains a lot of the Miao Clan's traditions, one of which is her respect for the God of Nature. Thus, after entering the Baishamian, you must not say anything more about 'darned mountain'.
"Understood."
Hearing that, Mao Xiaoting nodded.
Just at this time, a green poisonous snake suddenly appeared behind Mao Xiaoting. While maintaining its silence, it quietly approached Mao Xiaoting's back.
"Hiss hiss ~ ~"
Coming to Mao Xiaoting's back, the poisonous snake spat out its red tongue, its round black eyes staring straight at the prey in front of it.
Finally, the poisonous snake leaned its body back, suddenly, like a slingshot, it pounced towards Mao Xiaoting, its sharp fangs aiming straight at the right hand she had placed at her side.
Because Mao Xiaoting had her back to the poisonous snake, no one noticed the danger of this snake appearing before. When the poisonous snake pounced towards them, A Wen finally saw its figure.
"AHH!"
Instantly, both of them were shocked.
They wanted to warn Mao Xiaoting, but it was already too late. In the time it took for a spark to fly, the poisonous snake had already tried to bite her palm.
"Pah!"
But just as the viper was about to bite Mao Xiaoting, a big hand suddenly grabbed towards it, grabbing onto the green green viper's head.
Only now did they realize that the one who caught the snake was Xiang Anjie.
"Aiyo, Viper!"
Mao Xiaoting also saw this poisonous snake, "Hmm, looking at its appearance, it seems to be Yunnan Bamboo Leaf Green!"
Seeing this scene, A Wen and A Jin, who were at the side, were all dumbstruck: "Xiao Ting …. "You were almost bitten by a poisonous snake just now, how can you still remain so calm?"
"Calm down?"
Hearing this, Mao Xiaoting froze for a moment, then laughed: "I know that nothing will happen to me, because he will definitely protect me!"
After saying that, Mao Xiaoting smiled meaningfully at Xiang Anjie: "Right?"
Xiang Anjie coldly snorted: "If I'm not wrong, you should have long since discovered this snake, right? Even if I don't do anything, you'll definitely be able to avoid it at the very end! "
"Oh? If you think so, then why did you save me? "
"Perhaps I was worried that you, a fool, would not be able to dodge in time and get bitten by this snake."
With that, Xiang Anjie raised his hand and stared at the Bamboo Leaf Green.
As for the two little black dots on the snake's eye, they were also looking straight at Xiang Anjie. One man and one snake, the two Bloodthirsty Killers looked at each other for two seconds, before Xiang Anjie finally threw the Bamboo Leaf Green into the grass by the side of the road.
Seeing this, Mao Xiaoting sighed with grief: "If you're concerned about me, then say you're concerned about me. What excuse are you looking for? "You must know that Bamboo Leaf Qing's poison isn't fatal to humans. Even if I can't dodge in time, it wouldn't harm my life …"
"Cut the crap, enough rest, right? If you have enough rest, then leave, and don't delay any longer! "
After he finished speaking, Xiang Anjie began walking down the mountain.
Seeing that, Mao Xiaoting curled her lips: You are lying!
But at this moment, Xiang Anjie still continued to walk forward without even turning his head back. Seeing this, Mao Xiaoting pouted, her face filled with unhappiness.
But soon after, she rolled her eyes and thought about it.
"Aiya!"
Suddenly, Xiang Anjie heard Mao Xiaoting shouting from the back.
"What now?"
Xiang Anjie turned his head around helplessly, only to realize that Mao Xiaoting was painfully pointing at his feet: "I can't take it anymore, my feet can't walk, the mountain road is too rugged, my feet are sprinting!"
"Sprain your foot? "Then why didn't you say that earlier?"
With regards to this, Xiang Anjie asked skeptically.
"Because I was too tired, I didn't notice, but now that I'm standing up, I feel like I can't walk quickly."
At this moment, Mao Xiaoting was no longer as arrogant and cold as before, but instead had the appearance of a pitiful little girl.
"Then what do you want?" Xiang Anjie frowned and asked.
"You …"
Mao Xiaoting said with a red face and smile: "I want you to carry me!"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Xiang Anjie had a face full of shock.
"What are you daydreaming for?" I told you to carry me! "
Seeing Xiang Anjie standing there without moving, Mao Xiaoting resisted the urge to beat him up.
"On what basis?"
"So the reason I came to Yunnan was for you, wasn't it because of you that I sprained my ankle?" In this case, isn't it natural for you to carry me on your back? You still have the nerve to ask me why? "
Saying that, Mao Xiaoting laughed complacently, she knew that Xiang Anjie was one of those open-minded and upright gentlemen, in that case, she had no reason not to carry his on her back.
"No way!"
However, Xiang Anjie rejected her without hesitation: "If you can leave, why are you letting me carry you?"
Seeing this, A Wen did not think too much about it. "Xiao Ting, if you really cannot walk anymore, how about I carry you on my back?"
Hearing that, Mao Xiaoting immediately turned to look at him, but the bashful smile on her face turned into a cold expression: "Shut up, if you have the energy, can't you carry your wife?"
In an instant, A Wen stood in his original position in embarrassment. A Jin, who was by his side, quickly came over and pulled him away before walking: "Alright, about the couple, what are you getting involved in? "Let's hurry up and go!"
With that, A Jin turned his head to look at the two of them and laughed: "Xiang Ge, Xiao Ting, then we'll be leaving first.
Seeing that A Jin had such a meaningful look in his eyes, Mao Xiaoting was elated. He promptly covered his face and choked with sobs, "Uuu … Xiang Anjie, I did not expect you to be this kind of person. I came all the way to Yunnan for your sake, but I couldn't walk in the mountains or in the forests, so I wanted to make you carry me. "Sob, sob …"
Speaking till here, Mao Xiaoting suddenly felt that there was a black shadow in front of her. After she let go of her hands, she realized that Xiang Anjie had already walked in front of her, and looked at him helplessly. Are you a donkey, a bridge, a dog, a bow? "
Mao Xiaoting said angrily: "You seem to be an ungrateful person. If I knew you were like this, I wouldn't have needed to save you back in underground space. I would have just buried you right now …"
"Enough!"
Just then, Xiang Anjie suddenly turned around: "Aunt, consider it as me admitting my defeat, okay? Isn't it just letting me carry you? "I'll carry it, won't I?"
