"Don't go! Find me a piece of tissue!" Daina suddenly called out to him.
Li Rui was stunned. Tissue? It would be good enough if there was even toilet paper here, right? He searched both the inner and outer rooms, but he couldn't find even a piece of toilet paper. Not to mention toilet paper, he couldn't even find a piece of paper. He was angry and amused at the same time. He didn't know what that person used to solve her problem. Was it a mountain rock? Or a leaf? Uh … It was awkward just thinking about it.
"There's no tissue, not even a piece of paper."
Daina was annoyed when she heard that. She said, "Then what do I use to wipe myself after I pee?"
Li Rui racked his brains and came up with a pretty good idea. He said, "Uh, why don't you use water to wash yourself after you're done? There's a water ladle outside that can fetch water. "
Daina frowned and said, "Water ladle? How do I wash myself? I was squatting at that time. Hey, handsome! " She thought of an improvement and said, "You can use the ladle to pour water into my hand. I'll use my hand to wash myself."
Li Rui felt a headache coming on when he heard that. He said, "That's not good. Then you … your indecent posture will be seen by me."
Daina said indifferently, "Go get the water quickly. I'll pee now."
When Li Rui returned to the inner room with the ladle in his hand, Daina had finished peeing and was waiting for him to bring her water. Li Rui walked in front of her. He didn't dare to look at her too much. He only limited his line of sight to her outstretched hand and poured her a hand full of water. Daina washed herself twice before she was satisfied. She didn't wait for the water to dry before she got up and put on her clothes.
Li Rui put the ladle back first. Then, he took the urinal out of the room and poured it out. He rinsed it with water and put it in the corner of the outer room. When he returned to the inner room, Daina had fallen asleep again. He looked at her sleeping peacefully and listened to her peaceful breathing. His eyelids drooped and he felt sleepy. He lay down on the futon and fell asleep.
After sleeping for two or three hours, he was still immersed in his dreams and didn't want to wake up. However, his ears were already awakened by the chaotic cries of the pheasants in the forest outside. He struggled in a daze for a while, but in the end, he couldn't fall asleep. He could only helplessly open his eyes, only to see a beautiful snow-white face in front of him. A pair of bright eyes looked at him affectionately, as if they could speak and were silently expressing their feelings.
"Are you okay?"
Li Rui was slightly taken aback. He quickly recalled the matter at hand and asked.
Daina said said, "I'm hungry....."
Li Rui smiled and was overjoyed. She knew that she was hungry, which meant that her appetite had recovered. The wounds and infections on her body were no longer a concern. He sat up and said, "It's hard to say if you're hungry. Let's go to the town and order whatever you want."
Daina said coquettishly, "But I want to eat it now."
...... what............. I think there's only porridge and salted vegetables in our benefactor's house. "
Daina pointed to the window and said, "Do you hear the pheasants outside? I want to eat roasted pheasants. Go catch a few for me. "
Li Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Big sister, I can't even catch one, let alone a few."
Daina pushed him lightly and said, "You can. As long as you go out, you can catch pheasants. Trust me, I'll reward you if you catch one."
Li Rui looked at her strange half-smile. He thought about what she said and felt that she was hiding something from him. He wanted to find out, so he got up and walked out of the stone house.
Outside, he heard the pheasants on the hill to the north of the stone house. The sound was mournful, as if something had happened. He followed the sound and climbed up the hill step by step. The hill wasn't very high. The highest point was the height of a house. There was a small path leading to the top. There was half a mu of sloping land. Although there were rock fragments, there weren't many. The owner of the stone house had opened up some land here and planted some crops and vegetables.
Li Rui came to the top of the slope and was pleasantly surprised to see that there was a big and fat pheasant on the edge of one of the vegetable fields. It was struggling and crying, but it couldn't break free no matter how hard it tried. Seeing Li Rui coming up, the pheasant became more and more frightened. It turned and ran, but the rope was so tight that it couldn't even escape a meter away.
Li Rui walked over with a big smile on his face. He grabbed the pheasant and looked carefully at the rope on its leg. It was a flexible buckle. The other end was tied to a branch. The branch was deeply inserted into the ground to stabilize the pheasant. On the ground where the pheasant was tied, there was a pile of millet.
"Haha, no wonder she said she could catch me as soon as I came out. She woke up a long time ago and came here to set a trap. This woman is getting cuter and cuter! "
Li Rui untied the rope and walked down the slope with the pheasant. When he returned to the stone house, he saw that Daina was already waiting outside to welcome him.
"How was it? I said you could catch me as soon as you came out of the house. Did I lie to you?"
Daina said proudly with a smile. There was a hint of coquettishness on her face.
Li Rui smiled and said, "No, I'll roast the pheasant for you right now."
Daina walked gracefully in front of him and said, "Don't be in such a hurry. I haven't given you a reward yet." She looked at him with a smile and suddenly raised her head to give him a kiss.
Li Rui didn't have time to react before two tender lips appeared on his mouth. His mind was blank as he was kissed twice. He suddenly saw the Taoist walk out of the stone house. He was shocked and hurriedly pushed Daina away. He said to the Taoist with embarrassment, "We've trapped a pheasant. Let's roast it later and eat together."
The Taoist waved his hand and said, "I don't eat meat. You guys eat." With that, he went back to his work.
Li Rui didn't insist and said to Daina, "Find a place to sit and rest. I'll take care of this pheasant."
Daina's two hands hung down naturally. She looked at him busying himself with breakfast under the morning light. Her beautiful face was filled with happiness.
After eating the somewhat monotonous roasted pheasant with insufficient seasoning, Li Rui and Daina said goodbye to the Taoist. When the two of them had arrived, the Taoist hadn't been very welcoming. Now that the two of them were leaving, he didn't have much of a reluctance either. He truly had the free and easy air of an otherworldly expert. However, he still had a good heart. Before he left, he gave Daina a pair of straw sandals that he had made himself so that Li Rui wouldn't have to carry her all the way out.
"I'll come back to thank him when I've fully recovered."
Daina had already gotten used to the straw sandals three or four li away from the stone house. She thought of how the Taoist in the stone house had saved her life and spoke from the bottom of her heart.
Li Rui said, "I'll come with you. However, he probably won't accept money or gifts. It's best if we give him something useful, like vegetable seeds or something."
As the two of them were talking, a few people in firefighting uniforms suddenly appeared on the mountain not far ahead. They looked around as they walked towards the canyon.
Daina took a few glances and said, "They look like they're looking for us. It's probably Meidian and Baoyu who saw that we were missing and called the police to search for us. I need to put on the mask first." With that, she stopped and took out a genuine leather mask, carefully putting it on her face.
Of course, a human skin mask couldn't be worn casually on the face to fool everyone. It also needed to be covered with meticulous makeup. However, Daina didn't have time to put on makeup right now. She could only wear it on her face and fool everyone.
Li Rui agreed with Daina's opinion. He knew that they didn't have to walk the remaining ten or so li. Thinking of everything that had happened since they went up the mountain yesterday afternoon until this morning, he still couldn't believe that everything that had happened was real. Especially this mixed-blood beauty beside him. She had changed from a cold-faced killer to an obedient girl who would occasionally take the initiative to kiss him. The change was simply unimaginable.
"Hey, you're really not going to kill me?"
"Ah? Do you still need to ask? Do you want to die in my hands? "
"No, I'm just worried that if you don't kill me, you won't be able to explain to your employer!"
"Don't worry about that. I'll give him an explanation."
"Alright, but you have to be careful of Huang Qingang taking revenge on you."
"Why are you so concerned about me? Be careful that I might fall in love with you! "
"…"
The two of them were right. The people who appeared in front of them belonged to the Second Squadron of the Fire Brigade of Shuanghe County. After receiving Long Baoyu's call from the County Public Security Bureau, they were sent to the mountainous area where Qingtai Temple was located to search and rescue Li Rui and Daina. In fact, they had already arrived at the ruins of Qingtai Temple last night and entered the cave under the guidance of Long Baoyu and the others. Perhaps because the two leopards were out hunting, the two sides didn't meet. However, the search team didn't find Li Rui and Daina. Fortunately, Daina left a blood stain on the ground when she escaped from the leopard's den. After the search team found it, they investigated the vicinity of the cave where the two people fell from the cliff. According to the slope and height of the cliff where the cave was located, they judged that the two people couldn't climb out of the cliff like the leopards and could only fall from the cliff. Considering that it was inconvenient to search and rescue at night, they went down the mountain to find a place to stay. They didn't officially start the search and rescue until dawn today. The team that Li Rui and Daina bumped into head-on went around the mountain from the east, while the other team went around from the west.
It must be mentioned here that neither the County Public Security Bureau's Command Center nor the Fire Brigade knew that one of the two missing people was the county's Deputy County Magistrate, Li Rui. When Long Baoyu called the police, she only said that "the two of us were friends", but she didn't mention Li Rui's name and identity.
After the two sides met, the leader of the team immediately called the other team to pass on the good news that the two missing people had been found. Then, he asked them to gather in people and cars. Then, he set up a simple stretcher and let Daina lie on it. Two team members carried her while the others walked to the parking lot outside the mountain.
