Ding Ning stopped and looked back at her helplessly. "Don't you see that I'm covered with bug repellent juice? The bug repellent juice has a pungent smell. Most poisonous insects hate this smell and will stay away from it. But you just have to show off and dislike the smell. "
Xiao Nuo widened her eyes in shock. Her pink lips parted, revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth. She said angrily and shyly, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Ding Ning grinned and said in surprise, "Haven't you received field survival training? Don't you know? "
"I … of course I know!"
Xiao Nuo looked at his hateful face and gritted her teeth in hatred. But the pride in her bones made her unwilling to admit defeat. She proudly raised her head and braced herself to say, "Of course I know, I just don't like the smell."
"Oh, then there's nothing I can do. If you're not afraid of poisonous insects, then take off your clothes. I'm being a busybody."
Ding Ning shrugged noncommittally, turned around and continued to walk forward.
Xiao Nuo clenched her small fist and roared angrily in her heart. "This hateful bastard, he must have done it on purpose. What a hateful guy, he has no grace at all."
She wanted to take off her coat in a fit of pique, but when she remembered that mosquito bites could be fatal to her, she immediately gave up the idea. She gritted her teeth to endure the heat and strode forward without a word.
Ding Ning secretly laughed. "This girl is really stubborn. I'll see how long you can hold on."
Those who had never experienced the humid and stuffy feeling in a tropical forest would never understand the uncomfortable feeling of being drenched in sweat and being in a steamer.
Even with Ding Ning's physique, he began to pant heavily. He was sweating profusely as if he had just been fished out of the water.
Not to mention Xiao Nuo, whose clothes were soaked in sweat. Her eyes gradually began to lose focus, her mouth was dry, her throat was dry, and her face was pale. The severe dehydration made her dizzy. She moved forward mechanically step by step.
She didn't notice that Ding Ning had stopped. She bumped into his back and collapsed to the ground.
Ding Ning turned around and held her slender waist before she fell to the ground. Looking at her stubborn face, he felt distressed for no reason. "This silly girl is really stubborn."
He carefully laid her flat on the ground, picked up a few pieces of non-poisonous plant roots around, and carefully squeezed out the juice and dripped it into her mouth.
The plant juice with a faint fragrance made Xiao Nuo instinctively open her small mouth and greedily suck the juice like a sweet spring. Her misty beautiful eyes opened and stared unblinkingly at Ding Ning's slightly nervous face.
Ding Ning's Adam's apple bobbed, and he resisted the throbbing desire to kiss her. He put on a mean face that made people angry and hate him. "I told you not to follow me, but you insisted on being brave. Now, look at you."
"Humph! It's none of your business. "
Xiao Nuo, who had just recovered a little strength, was livid. She pushed Ding Ning away and climbed up by herself. She said coldly, "I'm just thirsty."
Seeing that she was still stubborn, Ding Ning pulled her over angrily and tore off her coat while she screamed.
"What are you doing? I'm warning you, don't mess around. "
Xiao Nuo covered her snow-white breasts that were about to burst out of her tight vest and scolded him harshly.
Ding Ning took out the bug repellent grass from his backpack and rolled his eyes. "You're already dehydrated, what are you trying to do?"
"It's none of your business!" Xiao Nuo smelled the unpleasant smell of the bug repellent grass. Her stomach churned and she struggled violently.
Ding Ning impatiently turned her over with force and let her lie on his lap. With a "pa" sound, he slapped her perky buttocks hard. "Behave yourself. If you die here, I'll be in trouble too."
Xiao Nuo's body stiffened and she stopped struggling. Without a word, she allowed Ding Ning to smear the juice of the bug repellent grass on her bare shoulders and arms. Her body trembled slightly.
After Ding Ning finished smearing the juice on her back, he turned her over with force. When he was about to smear the juice on her front, he found that she had goosebumps all over and her skin was suffused with a layer of pink.
Biting her lips, her big eyes had no focus at all, empty and filled with despair. Her long and curled eyelashes trembled slightly, with crystal clear tears still hanging on them. Unknowingly, the tears had already wet her beautiful face, dripping down her cheeks and onto the ground.
Looking at her hopeless expression, Ding Ning's heart ached. He hurriedly let go of her and apologized helplessly. "I'm sorry, it's my fault. Don't cry, don't cry. You can smear it on yourself."
Seeing that Ding Ning had let go of her, Xiao Nuo's empty eyes recovered a bit of light. She sat up expressionlessly and picked up the bug repellent grass on the ground. Like a walking corpse, she squeezed out the juice and mechanically smeared it on her bare skin.
Irritated, Ding Ning walked further away. He fumbled for a half-pack of wrinkled Ning Hai cigarettes, took one out and lit it. Leaning against a big tree, he took a deep puff.
They had come in a hurry and had not prepared to enter the rainforest. The cigarettes and lighter were taken from the skinny monkey in case they were needed.
The cigarette ash could stop bleeding and the lighter could start a fire. When resources were scarce, these inconspicuous things could become life-saving items.
The choking smoke was deeply inhaled into his lungs, causing him to cough.
He knew that his unintentional action reminded Xiao Nuo of the groundless You Xumo, which was why she had such a big reaction. This made him feel very guilty and inexplicably uncomfortable.
When it came to love, he subconsciously took an evasive attitude. Not to mention that his father had already arranged a marriage for him. Even if he broke off the engagement, Ling Yun was the first girl to walk into his heart.
Accepting Xiao Nuo was irresponsible to Ling Yun. What was more, he was just a novice in the field of love. He was still ignorant about love and did not know how to deal with such complicated feelings.
However, looking at Xiao Nuo's lifeless look, Ding Ning felt that he was a bastard. Since he had decided to stop this relationship, why did he still provoke her?
In fact, he was still a very traditional man. Ling Yun and Xiao Nuo's first kiss had been given to him, which made him feel a strong sense of responsibility.
Therefore, when he saw Xiao Nuo in danger, he did not hesitate to expose his skills and rushed to save her. Otherwise, no matter how beautiful a woman was, what did it have to do with him?
Although he was very unwilling to admit it, the fact proved that Xiao Nuo had a special meaning for him.
Compared with Ling Yun, who had become his best friend, and Shen Muqing, who made his heart beat faster, Xiao Nuo, who had kissed him twice, made him feel closer. That was why he subconsciously spanked her.
Xiao Nuo applied the juice and tied the coat around her waist. Although the smell of the insect repellent was really unpleasant, compared with the suffocating heat, this smell was not completely unacceptable.
Although Xiao Nuo did not have a good impression of Ding Ning, who was arrogant, arrogant, mean, narrow-minded and frivolous, she had to admit that this guy's survival experience in the wild was far beyond hers.
At least, she did not know that the plant juice with a faint fragrance could be drunk as water. When it entered the mouth, there was a faint bitterness and fragrance, but the aftertaste was very mellow and sweet. It had a very good hydrating effect. Her throat, which had been about to smoke, was now relieved.
Looking up at Ding Ning indifferently, Xiao Nuo did not know how to face him for a moment.
She was very ashamed that she had been saved by two men in a short period of two days and had also been spanked. For her, who had always been pure and proud, this was simply an unacceptable shame.
It was clear that two different men had spanked her in the same way, but she could not get angry, which made her feel even more sullen.
Ding Ning extinguished the remaining half of the cigarette butt and picked a few drinkable rhizomes from where he was and put them into his backpack.
"What kind of plant is this?"
Xiao Nuo really did not want to pay attention to this hateful man. You Xumo at least made her fall in love with him. Who was this Ding Ning? What right did he have to take advantage of her?
But her strong desire for knowledge made her let go of her reserve and ask without the slightest emotion.
"Green aloe. I am used to calling it sweet water onion because its shape is very similar to wild onions, but the juice of its rhizomes is fragrant and astringent in the mouth and has a sweet aftertaste."
Ding Ning explained with rare patience, "Green aloe and aloe belong to the same family of herbs. They are both perennial herbs of the family Unionaceae, but few people know about it. I also learned about this plant from the medical books handed down by my family. Its leaves are poisonous, but its rhizomes have the same effect as aloe. If you can drink its juice for a long time, your skin will become more lustrous and white. Compared with aloe, it has a better effect in beautifying and removing scars. Moreover, it is warm and does not harm the body. It has the effect of clearing poison, nourishing yin, and quenching thirst. Unfortunately, it only grows in tropical rainforests and is extremely rare. We are lucky to have met it."
Hearing the effect of beautifying, Xiao Nuo's eyes lit up. But then she heard that it was extremely rare, and she could not help but feel deeply regretful and disappointed.
As Ding Ning spoke, he walked around and collected all the green aloe he could find. Finding Xiao Nuo's disappointed expression, he smiled slightly. "Although this kind of green aloe is very rare, as long as you know its medicinal properties, it is not difficult to artificially grow it. Although its medicinal properties are slightly weaker than those in the wild, after processing, it can be made into moisturizing facial masks, removing scars, and beautifying and other whitening products. It is still very good. If you like it, I will grow some when I come back and make them into products for you to use. You have been exposed to the sun and wind every day as a special police officer, so you should take care of your skin."
"What do you mean? Is my skin very bad? "
Who knew that Ding Ning's flattery would backfire. Xiao Nuo stared at him fiercely like a little wild cat with thorns.
"Uh, it's not bad, not bad. It's just that there are some dark circles under your eyes that affect your beauty."
Ding Ning scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly.
"Humph!" Xiao Nuo raised her head proudly, snorted coldly, and turned to walk into the depths of the rainforest. Her domineering voice came softly. "When you make it into whitening products, I will pay for all of them. No take-out."
Ding Ning had thought about going back to Ninghai to find a piece of land, spend some money to artificially create a tropical rainforest environment, and plant green aloe on a large scale. He could make it an industry to make his fortune, but he did not expect that it would be monopolized by Xiao Nuo with one sentence, without even mentioning how much it would cost.
"Well, as long as you like it, I will give you as much as I can make."
He inexplicably did not have any resistance in his heart. As long as she liked it, it did not matter if he did not use it to make money. Anyway, there were almost inexhaustible rare herbs here.
This trip to the rainforest was really worth it. Many rare herbs that were priceless in the outside world could be found here, and they were absolutely mature enough. Basically, they were more than a hundred years old, and some were close to a thousand years old. No wonder it was an inaccessible primeval forest.
For Ding Ning, this was simply a natural treasure of herbs that made him salivate. Although the variety was a little monotonous, there were definitely many kinds, at least thousands of them.
