Chapter 105 The world of two
Gu Miao seemed to have had a dream.
A thick fog lingered in front of me.
She stood there, looking around blankly. The scene was desolate, and she was the only one within sight.
She seemed to have wandered into a no man's land.
Behind him, a beast roared.
She couldn't tell what kind of animal it was, and she didn't even have time to turn around. Just keep running forward.
The adrenaline keeps pumping.
She didn't know how far she had run, but her body never felt tired. Until the clouds and mist cleared away, she stood on the cliff and suddenly stopped...
One step further is an abyss.
Taking a deep breath, she looked back.
A breeze blew from the mountains, and the fog dispersed again and again. There was a noise deep in the dense jungle, and the beast emerged, its claws stepping on the mud, leaving a series of deep claw marks.
She backed up, then stopped immediately when she thought of something.
There were only two ways before her now, either turn around and jump down, or become the beast's meal.
But she doesn’t want to die...
The beast was pressing closer and already baring its fangs towards her.
Her feet gave way and she fell to the ground.
The palms were scratched with red marks by the rough gravel. The beast leaned forward and stopped suddenly before she closed her eyes in despair.
Those deep eyes stared at her closely, and their eyes were inexplicably sad, as if they were conveying something silently.
Gu Miao swallowed nervously and found that it didn't seem to have any intention of eating her.
Eyes facing each other.
She stared at those vertical pupils and tried her best to control her trembling body.
She wanted to speak reason with it, but she saw it slowly lowered its head, and a painful cry escaped from its throat.
"..."
She shrank her shoulders and was at a loss.
The beast barked twice and then stopped.
It took a step away and lay down at her feet, licking its claws.
The fog receded, and the air was filled with fresh, cold rain and dew and the fragrance of vegetation. Sniffing lightly, there is still a faint smell of blood that melts into the wind.
Suddenly, she lowered her head.
"You...are injured?"
The licking movement stopped, and the beast looked at her and let out a short whimper.
It sounds a little aggrieved.
She was completely relieved that this was the case.
Sensing that it was not malicious, she got up from the ground and approached it, only to find that its claws were penetrated by something unknown, revealing a big bloody hole, and even bones could be seen.
Without saying a word, Gu Miao tore open her coat and said, "Poor little boy, let me bandage it for you first."
"Okay."
As soon as she finished speaking, her palm was licked by it.
The pebbles on the palm were swept away by the tip of its tongue, and the red marks left by the grinding were gently swept by the tip of its tongue.
The wet touch is not sticky and uncomfortable as expected, it is very light, like feathers falling.
Gu Miao was startled, then smiled and touched its head.
"Do you know how to get out of here? When you calm down a little, help me lead the way."
"If possible, I can also take you back."
"This way you won't be in pain."
The beast did lead her out of that forest, but it didn't leave with her.
Gu Miao called for rescuers, but when she returned to the forest again, she did not find the injured beast.
The group returned the same way.
"It turns out you can go down here." The rescuers took her along a path to the bottom of the cliff.
Not far away, she heard the rescuers suddenly exclaim, "There seems to be something in the water. It's an adult male lion."
"It's dead. It seems that he fell to death from above. It was probably not long before we came."
"Why are there still human clothes on the paws?"
Thinking of something, everyone turned and looked at the figure walking at the end of the team.
"Miss, we found the beast you mentioned. However, unfortunately, it can't get out of this forest."
"..."
"Gu Miao? Gu Miao!" Gu Miao opened her eyes.
Meeting her unfocused eyes, Qi Yu paused in his leaning forward, and then asked with a smile: "Are you having a nightmare?"
After a while, Gu Miao blinked and her pupils returned to normal.
Qi Yu helped her wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.
Gu Miao sat up holding the quilt, "What time is it."
"It's already evening." Qi Yu took the phone from the table and asked someone to bring dinner in.
Looking back at Gu Miao's face, he saw her thoughtful look and joked: "You must be dreaming about me, right? You're so scared."
Surprisingly, Gu Miao didn't roll her eyes at him, but shook her head seriously.
"Dream of a... lion?"
"What else?"
"A bit complicated."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Then let's keep the story short."
"It was injured and then died."
"...What about you?"
"I'm fine." Gu Miao's thoughts were confused, "I just feel a little strange. This dream inexplicably gave me a..."
"A feeling of loss."
"I guess she didn't sleep well." Qi Yu told her not to think too much, "You, at such a young age, have a lot of things on your mind. If you use your brain too much, be careful of Alzheimer's disease in the future."
No ivory comes out of a dog's mouth.
Gu Miao rolled her eyes at him, and when she saw his subordinates bringing food in, she couldn't help but ask: "Isn't my second brother back?"
"No." Qi Yu opened the thermos box, tilted his head and smiled at her: "Isn't it just right that he doesn't come? Let's live in a world of two."
Gu Miao slapped his face and pushed him away, "Stay away from me."
She took out her phone and scrolled through the messages.
Second brother: [Sorry Miao Miao, second brother has temporary work and can’t leave. I can’t spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you. When I'm done, I'll pick you up and take you home. 】
Gu Miao didn't suspect anything.
During the meal, Qi Yu answered a phone call.
The people over there didn't know what they said, and Gu Miao couldn't hear it.
All he knew was that Qi Yu turned his eyes and looked towards her.
The hand holding the chopsticks stopped in mid-air. She looked at Qi Yu blankly and asked with her eyes.
After a brief look at each other, Qi Yu withdrew his gaze and said, "Okay, I understand."
Gu Miao didn't dare to speak out until he hung up the phone.
"A call from Hong Kong City."
"Port City?"
"Well, my second uncle has been active there recently."
"Then what?"
"What then."
"You just looked at me."
"I just like to look at you, why can't I do this?" he continued.
Gu Miao pursed her lips and said nothing, looking straight at him.
After a few seconds, Qi Yugan surrendered and said, "Okay, okay."
He clicked his tongue helplessly.
"Two things."
"One is about He Zhihuai, the other is about Gu..."
"Something happened to my second brother?"
She made her choice without hesitation. Qi Yu was not surprised and shook his head slowly, "No, I just want to tell you that he has returned to Hong Kong City."
Gu Miao breathed a sigh of relief.
Wait, she raised her head again, "Where is eldest brother?"
"He..." Qi Yu held his chin with one hand and said in a light voice, "He is injured."
"..."
"But don't worry, I just hurt my hand." Qi Yu took her hand and slid it in her palm, "Well, this position was pierced."
"!" Gu Miao's pupils trembled.
This position, that beast!
