The Ai Cao turned around and was shocked. The person who was about seven or eight meters away from her was approaching her like a savage. His beard and hair were long and dirty, tangled together, greasy and covered with dust and grass. His clothes were tattered, and it was impossible to tell his original appearance.
"Hehe, hehe." The person on the other side stretched out his hand to the Ai Cao from afar. Mugwort felt goosebumps all over her body.
What should she do? What did he want to do?
The Ai Cao stood at the edge of the hill. In front of her was this savage who looked mentally unstable, and behind her was a steep slope that was more than 30 meters high. If she was not careful, she would fall.
"Gu Dong! Gu Dong! Help! "The Ai Cao grabbed the trunk of the jujube tree next to her and shouted with all her might.
The person on the other side was stunned when he heard the sudden scream of the Ai Cao. He continued to make "hehe, hehe" sounds.
On the other side, Gu Dong had already caught a mouse and a snake. He was seriously looking for the footprints of other animals. He hoped that he could find a rabbit or a pheasant. These two animals existed, but most of them had already been searched by the villagers. The remaining animals were not easy to catch.
In a trance, Gu Dong thought he heard the Ai Cao's shout. He stood up and looked around, but he did not see the Ai Cao. He frowned and had a bad feeling.
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movements outside. Sure enough, not long after, he heard the same shout again. "Help, Gu Dong! Gu Dong! "
Not good, the Ai Cao was shouting for help again!
Gu Dong picked up the sickle next to him and climbed up the hill. He was so anxious that he did not have time to look for a path. His arms and face were covered in blood from the branches and thorns, but he was not in the mood to care and did not feel any pain.
Right now, all he could think about was the Ai Cao. He did not know what kind of danger she was in. Could it be a wolf?
The reason why Gu Dong didn't dare to go deep into the mountains to look for pheasants and rabbits was that the mountains were not only rich in wild animals, but also dangerous. It would be fine if he didn't encounter wolves and wild boars, but if he did, he wouldn't be able to deal with them alone.
"Don't come over, don't come over! Get lost! Ah! Gu Dong! "The Ai Cao bent down, grabbed a handful of soil, and threw it at the 'savage' in front of him.
He didn't dodge, nor did he scold. Instead, he continued to laugh like a demon. This abnormal behavior made the Ai Cao's scalp tingle.
The person in front of him was not only a barbarian, but also a lunatic! What should I do? What should I do? The Ai Cao anxiously tried to think of a solution.
The Ai Cao saw that the man was about to reach him. He closed his eyes, lowered his body, and took a step back, rolling down the steep slope.
He shouldn't die from the fall, right? Mugworm Grass held onto his head and slid down the steep slope rapidly. When he bumped into weeds, rocks, thorns, and trees, he felt as if he was in a carriage that had been startled. His internal organs felt as if they had been knocked out of place.
"Ai Cao!" Gu Dong finally followed the sound and ran over. From afar, he saw the Ai Cao falling down the steep slope. He desperately ran over here.
The bottom of the hill was full of gravel and weeds. If he fell down, he could hit his head or break his leg.
Gu Dong's appearance and roar finally made the barbarians on the hillside, who only knew how to chuckle, have some other reactions.
He didn't move forward slowly. Instead, he strode forward and quickly looked in the direction where the Ai Cao fell. Then, he ran down the hill.
It was obvious that he was coming for Gu Dong.
Heh, do you want to fight? Perfect!
"Ai Cao? Ai Cao? "Gu Dong shouted while weighing the pros and cons in his mind. Who is this? He had never seen him before. He didn't look like a villager either.
"Heh heh, heh heh …" When he was almost in front of Gu Dong, the crazy barbarian let out a series of creepy laughter.
He was definitely mocking him!
Gu Dong's expression changed. He went forward and wanted to quickly subdue him. However, the barbarian nimbly dodged to the side and ran in another direction.
Should he chase him or not? After hesitating for a second, Gu Dong continued running up the hill. He had to see how the Ai Cao was doing.
As the Ai Cao fell, it bumped into things on the hillside. In the end, it got stuck on the side of a crooked locust tree.
Did I fall to the bottom? The Ai Cao thought that she had fallen to the bottom of the hill. However, when she opened her eyes, she found that she was hanging in mid-air. She hurriedly hugged the locust tree to stabilize herself and prevent herself from falling again.
She raised her head and looked up. It was more than ten meters high. The Ai Cao turned around and grabbed the weeds and vines that grew on the hillside all year round. As long as she was careful, she should be able to climb up.
Right, she saw Gu Dong just now.
"Gu Dong! Gu Dong, are you there? "The Ai Cao shouted anxiously.
"Ai Cao?" A head popped out from above. It was Gu Dong. His face was full of anxiousness and worry. Seeing that she didn't really fall down, he heaved a sigh of relief. "You didn't fall down, right?"
"I'm fine. I just felt a little uncomfortable. Did you see the barbarian up there? "The Ai Cao asked in a panic.
"Yes. You come up first." Gu Dong waved at her with a bad expression. Then, he tried to slide down and pull her up.
"It's okay. You wait up there. I should be able to climb up." Gu Dong was heavier than her. These weeds and vines might not be able to hold the two of them.
The Ai Cao felt that staying in this world for a few days was more than her 16 years of experience in her previous life. Moreover, her ability to adapt seemed to have improved.
Gu Dong didn't force himself to climb down. Instead, he looked at her from above. At the same time, he also paid attention to their surroundings. Where did that strange person come from? Did he notice them and follow them here? Or was it a coincidence? Would he come back again?
After expending a tremendous amount of effort, Mugwort finally climbed up while panting. Gu Dong pulled her along and took off the water bottle on his body to feed her water.
"Are you scared?" Gu Dong saw that her face was red and covered in sweat. He felt a little sorry for her.
"A little." The Ai Cao remembered the appearance of that person just now. She couldn't help but tremble. She felt a little scared just thinking about it.
"It's okay. Take a rest and catch your breath. Let's go back first." Not only was the Ai Cao scared, but Gu Dong also felt goosebumps all over his body when he recalled the strange "Hey, hey" sound of that person just now.
"Okay." The Ai Cao was eager to go down the mountain. She didn't want to stay here any longer. However, as soon as she moved, she almost fell to the ground.
When she came up and saw Gu Dong, she felt relieved. Her legs felt a little weak.
Gu Dong didn't laugh at her. Ai Cao was already very good when she was so scared. She was still able to climb up with great effort just now.
"I'll carry you. You used too much strength to climb up just now. I don't know if you were injured when you fell." Gu Dong squatted down and let the Ai Cao get on his back.
"Okay." The Ai Cao didn't hesitate and obediently lay down on his back.
It was the first time for both of them to encounter such a situation. Gu Dong hurriedly packed up his things and carried the Ai Cao home.
"Are you scared to be alone at home?" Gu Dong asked the Ai Cao. On the way home, the Ai Cao didn't say a word. She was lying on his back and tightly holding onto his clothes. The sound of the wind blowing through the trees was enough to make her tremble. It seemed that she was really scared.
"Do you have something to do?" The Ai Cao looked at Gu Dong and asked with a trembling voice. Now that she thought about it, she was scared. She didn't feel safe at all.
"Go inside and rest for a while. I'll deal with the things in the courtyard. "Gu Dong pointed to the basket on his back and said. He originally wanted to directly exchange it for food, but seeing the Ai Cao's situation, he decided not to go out first.
"Oh, oh." The Ai Cao knew that he wouldn't go out, so she felt a lot more at ease. However, when she returned to her bedroom, she lay on the bed and covered herself with the quilt. She shivered for a long time before falling asleep.
However, what welcomed her was not a sweet dream, but a nightmare.
In her dream, she was being chased by the person she had just met on the mountain. She couldn't get rid of him no matter how hard she tried. The sky was filled with terrifying "hehe" sounds.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't escape.
At noon, the Ai Cao was woken up by Gu Dong. She had a fever.
She was too frightened.
"Get up and eat some porridge." Gu Dong helped her sit up and handed her half a bowl of corn porridge. He had just seen the Ai Cao fall asleep, so he went to the village to find the leader's son to exchange for some meat.
He exchanged a one and a half foot long snake and a large field mouse for a jin of corn flour, half a jin of wheat flour, and a jin of sorghum flour.
"I think I'm sick." The Ai Cao got up and felt uncomfortable. Her head was dizzy and her whole body was weak.
"You were scared. When Master comes back, I'll ask him. He'll wake you up at night." Gu Dong comforted her and said: "It's okay. Eat. After you finish eating, you can go back to sleep. Don't worry too much."
