Chapter 138 Don't Do This Next Time
Shen Xiaoxiao was relieved when she saw the person hanging on the treetop. He was really good at finding a place. If two grasses hadn't fallen from the basket, she would have found it even if she was looking for death. Then she went down from the tree again and picked up the rope she had just thrown away.
She took the rope and started climbing the tree again. The closer she got to the top of the tree, the more careful she was. She approached Xiao Yan carefully, tied the rope to Xiao Yan and lowered him down little by little. She was relieved when she saw him land safely, threw the remaining rope down, and then went down quickly.
She was relieved when she found that he was just unconscious, but it was getting dark now. They had to find a cave to stay, otherwise they would have to stay under the tree for the night.
Shen Xiaoxiao cut down two small trees, made a simple stretcher with ropes, put Xiao Yan on it, fixed him with ropes, and dragged him away.
After searching for a long time without finding the cave, and seeing that it was getting darker and darker, Shen Xiaoxiao gave up the idea of looking for a cave and found a big tree with dense leaves. She put Xiao Yan under the tree, picked some fruits, washed them with water, and hurried back. She was relieved to see Xiao Yan still lying there safely.
Fortunately, it was not cold now, otherwise she would have to find a way to make fire.
The air was terribly quiet. Except for the occasional sound of birds flying by, there was no other sound. Through the leaves, the stars were hanging in the sky and emitting light.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Shen Xiaoxiao kept muttering. She felt that she was brave, but it was the first time to spend the night in such an environment. It would be a lie to say that she was not afraid. The ghost movies she had seen before now came into her mind very clearly.
She grabbed Xiao Yan's arm tightly, muttering something in her mouth. She didn't know how long it took for her to fall asleep, but she didn't sleep well and often woke up. After getting up, she was relieved to see Xiao Yan was still there.
The next day, she felt the dazzling light and slowly opened her eyes with her hands. She subconsciously touched the side, but touched nothing. She woke up instantly and looked to the side, but the person who was supposed to be by her side disappeared.
She stood up immediately, and turned around unconsciously with a panic expression. She pinched her palms tightly to calm herself down. There was no one else here. It was impossible for someone to take Xiao Yan away without her knowing. Moreover, there was only one footprint on the ground. He should have woken up and left.
Even so, Shen Xiaoxiao still couldn't help worrying. Did he leave because he found the bad guys?
Fearing that this was really the case, Shen Xiaoxiao didn't dare to shout at him loudly, and searched like a headless fly, "Xiaoxiao." Hearing the voice behind her, Shen Xiaoxiao turned around and saw him standing there well. Tears couldn't help but burst out. She ran towards him and patted his shoulder, "Where have you been? Do you know that I am worried to death."
"I went to find something to eat." Xiao Yan raised the wild fruit in his hand, his voice was a little weak, he seemed to be in trouble.
"Won't you tell me when you wake up? Don't you know I'll be worried if you leave without saying anything?" Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but said angrily.
"I'm sorry, I just saw that you were tired... so I didn't call you." Xiao Yan felt a little guilty. He didn't know Xiaoxiao would be so anxious. If he knew, he would definitely stay there.
After venting, Shen Xiaoxiao regained her senses and asked a little embarrassedly, "Did it hurt you?"
"No, I'm thick-skinned and it won't hurt." Xiao Yan shook his head and smiled.
"How did you get down? Did you fall anywhere?" Xiao Yan said nervously.
Speaking of this, Shen Xiaoxiao's anger rose again, but thinking of the current situation, and the fact that he was also trying to keep her alive, all the anger in her heart disappeared.
"I made a rope with vines and slowly climbed down." After a pause, "You are not allowed to do this again next time."
"Okay." Xiao Yan responded quickly, but he didn't think so in his heart. Even if he was asked to choose again, his choice would still be the same. As long as Xiao Xiao could live safely, he would die, but he didn't expect Xiao Xiao to climb down from such a high place.
He couldn't stop feeling distressed when he saw the wound on her hand, "Don't do this next time."
"Yeah." He responded quickly as well, and his words and heart were also different.
After simply washing their faces with stream water, the two of them ate the wild fruits that Xiao Yan had picked, "Do you know where this is?"
Xiao Yan shook his head, "I haven't been here."
Shen Xiaoxiao was a little discouraged, but soon cheered up again. They would definitely be able to get out. Even if they couldn't climb up, they would definitely be able to get out by following this stream.
They tried to find a way to leave, and the White Tiger Tribe had begun to get restless because they hadn't returned all night.
"Ashu, where are you going?" Qingshan held the anxious Shu, "I'm going to find my sister and brother Yan. Something must have happened to them, otherwise they wouldn't have stayed out all night." Shu's eyes were red, and there was uneasiness in his voice.
Qingshan sighed, "Don't worry, they will come back."
"No, I'm worried." Shu said sharply, they are the most important people to him, how could he be worried.
"Then where are you going to find them?" Qingshan held him tightly, "We don't even know where they went, where are you going to find them?"
"Then don't look for them?" Shu stared at him, "If you don't go, I'll go by myself, let me go."
"Can you calm down, who said we won't go? Even if we go to find them, there must be a rule, otherwise what if they come back and you get into trouble? Do you want to make the goddess worry?" Qingshan said coldly, "I know you are worried about them, but so are we. The more anxious we are, the more we need to calm down, only in this way can we find them as soon as possible."
Hearing what he said, Ah Shu slowly calmed down, "Come back with me first and listen to the witch doctor's arrangement. If you go out alone and something happens, we will have to find you."
A Shu followed him back reluctantly. As Qingshan said, the witch doctor had gathered everyone and was ready to find someone.
"Are you sure that the goddess went to collect herbs yesterday?" The witch doctor said loudly.
"We are sure that the goddess asked us to catch the insects in the ground yesterday, saying that she had a way to kill those insects. She asked us to catch all the insects first, and she went to collect herbs, and she would be able to eliminate the insects when she came back."
"Yes, witch doctor, we are sure that this is what the goddess said. The goddess also said that she didn't have much medicine left, so it was just right to go and collect some."
The group of people who went to catch insects yesterday said anxiously. If they knew that the goddess would lose contact after going out, they would definitely stop the goddess. Even if they could only catch insects with their hands in the future, they didn't want the goddess to get into trouble.
The witch doctor nodded, "Qingshan, Yunshen, Linyun, Shi'an, each of you take a team to find the goddess, and you must pay attention to safety. Whether you find it or not, you must come back before dark."
"Yes." The four people quickly agreed, and then they each took a team to leave. Each team had 20 people, and the witch doctor had already divided them.
"Witch doctor, what about us?" The others who were not selected stared at her with burning eyes.
"You stay in the tribe."
"Witch doctor, we..."
"That's it, the tribe can't be without people."
She was worried that the goddess and her friends would encounter cannibals and something might happen, otherwise it would be impossible for them not to return all night.
If the cannibals knew about their tribe, if they sent everyone out, the cannibals would take this opportunity to come to the door, and the cubs left in the tribe would be in danger. Although she was also very anxious, she had to consider many aspects.
