Chapter 510 Quicksand Pit
Chapter 510 Quicksand Pit
Ah Li's parents were suddenly questioned by Ah Huai.
At this moment, he looked like a mouse that was frightened by its tail being stepped on, and his eyes were obviously a little flustered and at a loss.
They hesitated to speak.
It seemed as if he didn't know how to answer.
It was Ah Li who was sitting next to them who took the initiative to take up the topic, and then smiled at Ah Huai as if nothing had happened, "My parents and I have always lived in a remote mountain village."
"so."
"Don't know much about this kind of thing."
"But where did you get all this information, Brother Huai? I've never heard you mention this before. To be honest, you seem very mysterious..."
Ah Huai paused.
Soon, the corners of his pale lips raised a pale and gentle smile again, "I didn't say it before, of course, because I didn't meet someone I liked."
"and."
"I thought you knew."
As he spoke, he stroked the cane in his hand again. His emerald green eyes covered by the black cloth looked gloomy, and his voice was also somewhat ambiguous.
"after all--"
"When you told Lu Xing about the situation in other countries, you were very knowledgeable."
Listening to this somewhat explosive conversation, Lu Chihuan couldn't help but tilt his head. After his bright and beautiful almond-shaped eyes blinked a few times, a hint of confusion involuntarily flashed across his face.
No.
Previously, the relationship between Ah Huai and Ah Li was not particularly good, but the two sides had some interactions. He still remembered that Ah Huai helped Ah Li when they first met, but why was it that now...
Instead, there is a feeling of undercurrent.
Did he miss something?
Seeing that Ah Huai was about to say something else, Lu Chihuan acted quickly and stuffed the soft and hot bread in his hand into Ah Huai's mouth.
"Let's eat something first."
"Don't be hungry."
The filling of the pancake is shredded potatoes and eggs, and does not contain the barbecued meat that he hates.
After feeling the heat on my lips.
Ah Huai seemed to be stunned for a moment, and the coldness and murderous intent in his emerald green eyes faded a little. A gentle and fragile smile appeared at the corner of his lips, like a piece of snow that is about to melt after the arrival of spring.
He said to himself:
"You just use food to shut me up."
However, he seemed to be very pleased with Lu Chihuan's action, so he concentrated on eating the bread in his hand in small bites without saying anything else.
Lu Chihuan also served a bowl of soup to Ali.
Let her drink a few sips to warm herself up.
Ah Li held the soup bowl in both hands, and smiled as she curved her eyes and said, "Brother Lu Xing, you are not only a good person, but also have super strong fighting power. You are simply one of the must-have treasures for home and travel."
"Once we enter the city of Atama, you will definitely be welcomed by the locals."
Lu Chihuan smiled when he heard this.
"Then I'll lend you some good advice."
Without saying a few words, Ali took her parents back to the tent.
Lu Chihuan returned the kitchen utensils to Yan Chuan.
He then extinguished the still burning ore and put it back into a small package. Only then did he call Ah Huai to go to sleep in the tent.
Lu Chihuan was already feeling a little tired.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he felt sleepy. While he was half asleep and half awake, Ah Huai beside him suddenly spoke:
"That guy Ali."
"Don't trust her too much."
Lu Chihuan couldn't help but yawn.
He rubbed his eyes sleepily a few times, and did not directly answer Ah Huai's words. Instead, he spoke softly with a slightly nasal voice:
“…Actually, I’ve been thinking about it.”
"What on earth did A-Li do to irritate you? It seems like there is no overt conflict between the two of you."
talking.
He thought about it with his not-so-flexible brain again. He didn't know what he had thought of. At this moment, he opened his eyes wide and said in shock:
"Isn't it because of me?!"
Suddenly.
Ah Huai's breathing became lighter.
After a moment, he responded. His voice, which was usually gentle but with a hint of fragility, now sounded like he was gritting his teeth:
"No!"
Lu Chihuan patted his chest in relief. He half-closed his eyes, and his long, thick eyelashes like crow feathers trembled a few times. He was still very sleepy when he spoke, "That's good, I thought..."
"You two like me."
"I originally thought that my charm wasn't that great, so it was probably just a misunderstanding..."
Talking and talking.
His voice became softer and softer.
Ah Huai, who was sleeping next to him, could no longer hear him. He felt as if he had been stung by a bug in the chest, and his whole body had a strong allergic reaction, so his cheeks and skin were burning.
like.
How could he possibly like Lu Xing?
The reason he got close to Lu Xing now was just to have some fun during his boring journey. He had never thought about other things.
not to mention.
What is like?
What does it feel like to fall in love with someone? In the past, he was fully immersed in the world in front of him, so he had never experienced this kind of emotion, so now he knows almost nothing about it.
but.
Lu Xing's words still stung his heart unconsciously, and the allergic reaction on his body did not subside. This caused Ah Huai to toss and turn and unable to fall asleep. He could not help but sit up.
Then he looked at Lu Xing who was lying beside him.
Tsk.
The other person was sleeping very soundly.
All of a sudden——
Ah Huai suddenly felt his hands itchy and really wanted to pinch Lu Xing's cheeks twice and then see him show a pitiful expression to him.
Ever since I met Lu Xing.
He seemed to show weakness only when he mentioned his parents, but most of the time, he was always sunny and determined, as if he would not back down no matter what difficulties he encountered.
For this kind of person.
Ah Huai always couldn't control the urge in his heart and wanted to drag it into the sticky black mud.
then.
Watching the other person struggling desperately.
Then it was gradually swallowed up.
After this period of time together, Ah Huai still didn't change his mind every time he looked at Lu Xing, but compared to before...
He's just more in control of himself.
.
Time flies by.
After waking up, Lu Chihuan neatly packed up the borrowed tent and blanket, then, still carrying Ah Huai on his back, walked in the direction Yan Chuan pointed.
The desert is very hot during the day.
After walking in the sun for a long time, Lu Chihuan's hair on his temples became wet with sweat unconsciously, and the tip of his nose was stained with fine and crystal beads of sweat.
Ah Huai saw this.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his face.
Then she lifted a corner of her loose robe to block the sun for him.
Just as Yan Chuan was discussing with other refugees whether to stop to rest, he felt the sand under his feet suddenly sink, and then swallowed most of his foot. For a moment, Yan Chuan had a bad premonition.
He hadn't had time to speak yet.
The sand under his feet was like a bottomless pit, swallowing up half of his body in an instant, so Yan Chuan only had time to issue a warning.
"It's quicksand!"
“Get out of here!
However, this warning came too late.
Screams and shouts were heard all around. No one knew why this quicksand pit suddenly appeared under their feet. They struggled desperately.
However, it can only get deeper and deeper.
The pressure created by the yellow sand rushing in from all directions squeezed their chests, causing them to involuntarily feel a sense of indescribable suffocation.
Panic began to spread among the crowd, and some timid people couldn't help crying out loud.
after all.
They were clearly almost at Atama City.
But now they have encountered this kind of thing... It is as if their hopes are being destroyed right in front of their eyes, and in an instant they feel an indescribable despair.
Lu Chihuan had also stepped into the quicksand pit.
But he reacts faster.
When Yan Chuan just opened his mouth to remind everyone, he reflexively used his mental power to shake away the quicksand at his feet, then lifted his body and jumped.
This is a jump to other safe areas.
nowadays.
He frowned and looked around, and found that except for him and Ah Huai on his back, almost all the refugees in the team had fallen into the quicksand pit.
Ali and her parents are no exception.
At this moment, when Ah Li saw Lu Chihuan standing in a safe area, her eyes lit up. She couldn't help but wave her hands and shouted for help: "Brother Lu Xing!"
"Come and save me!"
After others heard this.
They all cast their eyes on Lu Chihuan, their eyes filled with eagerness and eagerness, “Please, save us too!”
"I don't want to die!"
"I don't want to die here!"
The cries for help from dozens of refugees were like waves rushing towards Lu Chihuan.
Almost swallowed him up.
However, Ah Huai on Lu Chihuan's back spoke quietly in this situation. His white and almost transparent fingers were placed on Lu Chihuan's neck. The emerald green eyes under the black cloth were gloomy, hiding a bit of sticky malice.
It looks like——
Just like a colorful and beautiful poisonous snake, it finally showed its fangs.
Will take a bite of Lu Chihuan at any time.
That gentle and fragile voice now had a hint of incitement, as if tempting something.
"Do you really want to save them?"
"It is impossible to rescue everyone from the quicksand pit with your own strength. Look at the way they look at you. It seems that they regard you as the only savior."
"This kind of person is terrible."
"Because once you give up on any one of them, they will blame you and accuse you of not trying your best. Not only will your hard work not be appreciated, but it will be trampled under their feet."
"so."
"It's better to just give up on them."
"This is their fate. Isn't it a good thing to let them face their own fate? Everyone has his or her own path to take..."
The more he talks.
Ah Huai's emerald green eyes, which were supposed to have been blind, became brighter.
Even a bit fanatical.
It was like falling into an abyss, and he was looking forward to and couldn't wait to pull Lu Chihuan, the bright and flawless moonlight, into the abyss as well.
