Old Wang threw two leg gauntlets to each of them. There were many poisonous insects in the mountains, so it was important to protect their legs from injury. Everyone was done with the tying very quickly. Only Lu Yue was tied up loosely and uncomfortably.
Huo Jiakai came over and asked Lu Yue to sit down. He carefully helped her tie her shoes from the top to her knees. Lu Yue stood up and took two steps. The tension was just right. Lu Yue thought that this person looked cold, but he was actually not bad.
Before she could thank him, Huo Jiakai pinched Lu Yue's calf. Lu Yue thought that this guy was really frivolous.
The group walked in the dense forest. Old Wang and Luo Deng walked at the front, Lu Yue, Miao Nu, and Chen Xiude were in the middle, and Huo Jiakai and Ping An were at the back.
Sunlight shone through the leaves, and mist rose from the forest. Birds chirped in the forest, and small animals ran away from time to time. Lu Yue found everything novel.
Chen Xiude was influenced by Lu Yue. He had a good impression of this beautiful girl. He saw many wild flowers along the way, so he picked a handful and handed it to Lu Yue.”
Lu Yue reached out to take it, but Huo Jiakai took it and threw it far away. Lu Yue was baffled and said angrily,"Are you crazy?"
Huo Jiakai said coldly,"Don't touch things you don't know."”
Chen Xiude, whose face was red with anger, said," Isn't it just a few flowers? What's this unknown thing?"”
Huo Jiakai ignored him and said to Lu Yue,"There were at least two poisonous flowers in the bouquet just now."”
Luo Deng came over and said," There are many plants in this forest that look beautiful but are poisonous. It's not wrong to be careful.”Only then did Chen Xiude keep quiet.
After a while, Loba said," There is a forest not far ahead called the leech forest. There are many leeches. Everyone, be quick when you pass through that forest. You can't wait for the leeches to smell you."”
Old Wang added," Put on your hat and tie your cuffs and collar tightly. If the leeches get on your body and you can't pull them off, run through the forest first."”
Lu Yue had only seen pictures of leeches, so she was very afraid. Huo Jiakai threw her a towel and asked her to wrap it around her neck. She even covered her mouth.
After walking about 500 meters, Loba shouted,"Run!"”
Everyone ran away. Leeches fell from the sky like rain. Lu Yue was so scared that she ran and shouted. There were so many leeches. Not only were the grass full of leeches, but the trees were also full of fat leeches. It kept falling on people.
When everyone rushed out of the leech forest, they saw that everyone was covered in a layer. Fortunately, they were all outside their clothes and quickly shook it off. Old Wang had two leeches in his hands. He roasted them with fireworks before the leeches reluctantly fell off.
If the leech left its mouthpart in its body, it would cause inflammation and fever. It was life-threatening in the deep mountains. The strange thing was that there was not a single leech on the Miao girl's body. Luoba looked deeply at the Miao girl and said nothing.
Lao Wang looked at the time. They had been walking for more than four hours. Although there was a two-hour time difference between Tibet and Beijing, the light in the forest dimmed quickly. Old Wang and Luoba led everyone to a flat place with a large rock behind it. It was not far from the Yarlung Zangbo River and they could hear the sound of the rapids.
Other than Lu Yue, everyone else was very experienced. Chen Xiude looked like the son of a rich family, but he was also an outdoor enthusiast. Needless to say, they took out their tents and sleeping bags and quickly built a place to rest for the night.
Chen Xiude came to help Lu Yue. The two of them chatted happily as they set up the tent. Huo Jiakai, who had planned to come over, sat by the side and whistled.
He noticed that Lu Yue was walking strangely. He walked over and pulled her to sit down. Lu Yue said angrily,"What do you want again?"”
"Check you." Huo Jiakai said deliberately.
Chen Xiude said," Can you not be unreasonable?”
Huo Jiakai said," No." She held Lu Yue's foot with one hand so that she could not move. She took off her shoes and socks with the other hand and saw that her originally slender ankle was very red and swollen.
Huo Jiakai said angrily," What's wrong? Why didn't you say so earlier?”
Lu Yue wanted to retract her foot, but she did not succeed. She was embarrassed and angry. She said to Huo Jiakai,"Why do you care?" Don't you think you're being too nosy?"
Lu Yue was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt. Her mid-length hair was tied behind her ears, revealing her fair neck. One of her feet was bare, and under the setting sun, the blush on her face could still be seen clearly.
Huo Jiakai was distracted for two seconds. He said," It's not that I want to care, but I can't ignore it.”He gently put Lu Yue's foot down and said,"Don't move. I'll be right back."”
Huo Jiakai was like a nimble fox and quickly disappeared into the forest.
After Old Wang and Ping 'an set up their tents, they went to check the surrounding terrain to see if there were any abnormalities or hidden dangers nearby. They had just discovered poisonous snakes not far away, so they came back to remind everyone to be careful.
Chen Xiude accompanied Lu Yue and spoke to her. Miao Nu also came over. The Miao girl untied her hair. The wind in the mountains blew and made her hair flutter, adding a lot of liveliness to her neatly dressed body.
The Miao girl's eyes were watery and glistening, looking very charming. Even Lu Yue felt that she was about to fall into her eyes, let alone Chen Xiude, a man. He stared at the Miao girl with his eyes wide open.
Fortunately, Huo Jiakai replied quickly, carrying a bucket in one hand and a pot in the other. He came to Lu Yue's side and soaked a towel in water before placing it on her swollen ankle. Although it was June, the temperature difference in the highlands was huge, and the river water was very cold.
"Don't rub it. You can only apply a cold compress for 24 hours.”
Lu Yue said,"We still have to walk tomorrow. How can we not move?"”
" It must have been when you rushed through the Leech Forest." Lu Yue nodded.
"Then why did you insist on walking so much? If you had told me earlier, it wouldn't be so serious." Huo Jiakai knew that she was afraid of dragging everyone down. To be honest, he also felt that Lu Yue was not delicate, but he could not help but scold her.
Huo Jiakai had set up his tent not far from Lu Yue. In fact, Old Wang and Ping 'an's tents were intentionally set up not far from Lu Yue. Basically, they formed a semi-circle around the boulder.
When it was dark, everyone ate some jerky and biscuits and prepared to rest. Old Wang said," I'll be on duty in the first half of the night, and I'll be safe in the second half of the night. Everyone, rest early."
" There might be rain tonight," said Loba, who had always been a man of few words." Everyone, be prepared in advance."”
Lu Yue looked at the sky. There was a small patch of blue sky in the open space in the forest. It was very clear and there was not a trace of cloud. Would it rain? Lu Yue was skeptical. However, she still packed her luggage together.
Everyone went into their tents and quieted down. However, Chen Xiude tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. His mind was filled with the Miao girl's appearance. Today, when the Miao girl looked at him, there seemed to be a magic in her eyes that had attracted his soul, and it was difficult to get rid of it. It was like how Jia Rui couldn't resist looking at Wang Xifeng from the Feng Yue Treasure Mirror in the Red Chamber.
