Chapter 127 Dark Butterfly (4)
Yin Yin and Gui Sha were in the forest, hiding in a wooden house abandoned by a hunter. Even though she was injured, Gui Sha went to find food and herbs for her. Somehow, walking in the mountains reminded Yin Yin of the dark forest where she met Gui Sha. Compared to the calls of the birds and beasts she heard, that dark forest was even more terrifying. One could see something when approaching, while the other was pitch dark.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Yin Yin feels that the ghost seems to be used to living in the mountains and forests. Does it hate people? Yin Yin couldn't help but wonder.
The ghost demon walking in front of him was walking very fast, and he didn't look injured at all , and he was in this complicated mountain. Looking at the back of the ghost demon, Yinyin fell into deep thought again. She could never figure out the ghost demon's personality or behavior. For example, Yinyin didn't think that the ghost demon had the need to protect her, but the ghost demon was still by her side all the time. Yinyin remembered that the ghost demon had almost never left her since they met. Except for the rare things, he had always been by her side to protect and take care of her. Why? At first it was because of Feng Qinghan, but what about later? Was it also because of Feng Qinghan? Every time she saw the hideous scar under the ghost demon's mask, Yinyin would feel deeply guilty. She didn't know the relationship between the ghost demon and Feng Qinghan, but the scar was always because of her, and similar things had happened in the dark forest. Yinyin suddenly realized that since she met the ghost demon, the ghost demon had suffered a lot of injuries because of her. Although the ghost demon was still alive compared to those who died because of her, he could never escape the sin.
"ah--"
Just as Yin Yin was lost in thought, her foot tripped and she was about to fall, but the ghost demon who was walking in front of her, who should have kept a distance, caught her in time.
"Thanks."
Yin Yin thanked Guisha with some shame. It was clearly her who asked to come along, but she ended up causing him trouble. Yin Yin felt very ashamed just thinking about it.
But the ghost didn't pay any attention. He let go of Yin Yin just after he helped her up, looked around and continued to move forward. Yin Yin was about to catch up, but her left foot suddenly started to hurt, so she subconsciously groaned. Although Yin Yin tried her best to suppress it before she made a sound, the ghost still heard it.
"What's wrong?" Guisha stopped and turned around to ask.
"No, nothing."
Yin Yin replied somewhat guiltily that it was just a pain and it didn't hurt now, so answered truthfully.
The ghost looked at Yin Yin for a while, said nothing, then turned around and walked forward. Yin Yin followed him. After she took a step forward, she felt a cramp in her left foot. The pain was no worse than the first time, so Yin Yin forced herself to keep up with the ghost, because she didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to him at this time.
Along the way, the two collected a lot of wild fruits. Seeing Guisha's familiarity and ease, Yinyin felt ashamed again. Whether it was the 21st century or this era, she didn't understand these things at all because of her family background. Fortunately, there was Guisha, otherwise she would have starved to death if she was not killed. Except for wild fruits and some things that could be eaten directly, all food that needed to be cooked was discarded. After all, when hiding, lighting a fire would only expose their whereabouts.
"These should be enough. I'm going to find some herbs next. You go over there and rest."
After collecting the wild fruits, Guisha pointed to a relatively open place not far away and said that there happened to be a ravine there with clear water flowing.
"Um."
Yin Yin nodded and stepped forward to take the wild fruits that Gui Sha had packed. This was to make it easier for Gui Sha to go looking for herbs empty-handed. From the beginning to the end, Yin Yin not only did not help at all, but except for a very small number of wild fruits that she picked herself, the rest were taken by Gui Sha.
Guisha didn't say anything, just handed the package to Yinyin and said: "Don't run around, I'll be back soon."
Yinyin found that Guisha's instructions were always like those to a child, and she felt a little unhappy about it, but she still said: "I know, I'll wait for you to come back."
Guisha nodded and walked away. After looking at Guisha's back for a while, Yinyin walked towards the ravine.
The ravine was small, but the water was clear. After putting the package aside, Yinyin impatiently reached out to touch the water. But when she squatted down, the pain in her left foot instantly swept through her body, causing Yinyin to stagger to her knees. She had been holding it in before, so she had not paid much attention to it. She did not expect that it would suddenly hurt so much after she relaxed. After just a short while, Yinyin's forehead was covered with cold sweat...
After the pain eased a little, Yin Yin sat up with the help of a stone beside her, and then gently took off her shoes and socks. The outside of her ankle was red and swollen. Fortunately, there was clean water nearby, so Yin Yin put her foot into the water. Fortunately, the water was cool, which helped to relieve the pain.
I don’t know how long I soaked my feet, but they weren’t hurting as much anymore, so Yinyin withdrew her feet and gently touched the red and swollen area. Sure enough, the pain was relieved a lot. Yinyin put on her shoes and socks with some relief.
Just as Yin Yin had put on her shoes and socks, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her: "What's wrong with your feet?"
Yin Yin was startled upon hearing the voice, then turned around and saw the ghost demon who had returned at some point coming in front of her. Before she could react, the ghost demon had already squatted down and lifted her left foot. The movement was too big and Yin Yin subconsciously groaned.
"Are you hurt?" asked the ghost.
"It's just a sprain."
Now that she was discovered, Yin Yin no longer concealed the truth, because she couldn't hide it even if she did.
