Chapter 390: Instant Change
Shen Wen put the branches he had picked up into the fire and said, "It's not a good idea for you to stay in the narrow mountain all the time. We have to find a way back to the barracks tomorrow morning."
Ji Ziyin, who was beside him, was busy plucking the feathers of the big bird. He took a moment to glance at Shen Wen and said, "Me? You actually said that. You are wrong. You can't stay in this mountain forever. Compared with you and me, you are so weak that you can't face the dangers in this mountain."
Shen Wen didn't want to argue with him, he said: "If you encounter the same situation as today again tomorrow, you don't have to panic. When you are in that time and space, don't be reckless. People like you who have experienced too many life and death situations have a very sensitive sense of danger, so when encountering things, you should rely on your sense of danger to avoid them if you can, and if you can't avoid them..."
Shen Wen thought about how the ancient people were forced to fight in modern wars, and there were too many unexpected events.
Ji Ziyin didn’t understand and asked, “What?”
The roasted pork was fragrant, with the brown fat dripping onto the charcoal fire, making an alluring sizzling sound. Ji Ziyin tore off the softest part of the fat and lean meat and handed it to Shen Wen, saying, "Eat it, but there is no seasoning."
Shen Wen took it, thanked him, and started eating it bite by bite.
Seeing him eating so arrogantly and with such relish, Ji Ziyin felt a small sense of accomplishment. He smiled and said, "It seems you are really hungry."
Shen Wen said with oil on his lips, "It tastes good. You can tear off a piece and eat it. Don't worry about the bird feathers for now. I'll take care of them later."
This time Ji Ziyan was very obedient. He shook off the bird feathers on his hands and rubbed his hands on the corner of his robe without caring whether they were clean or not. He also tore off a piece of wild boar meat and gnawed it by the fire.
He gnawed on the tender pork, looking at Shen Wen from time to time. He felt that he had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. Although he had never imagined such a scene before, he just felt that this was life, and it was the life that one should have with a partner.
As a modern man in his mid-50s, Shen Wen understood Ji Ziyan's inner thoughts at this moment very well.
During the meal, the two of them remained silent, but the temperature in the entire cave gradually rose.
They had enough food, so they didn't have to rush hunting on the second and third days. Shen Wen plucked the feathers of the big birds, and Ji Ziyan roasted them.
Roasting is a time-consuming process, so Ji Ziyan urged Shen Wen to go to bed. Shen Wen yawned and fell asleep next to the grass pile beside the fire.
Ji Ziyan looked at Shen Wen's sweet sleeping face, and the more he looked, the more familiar and strange it seemed to him.
Thinking back to the day when he and Shen Wen skillfully hunted wild boars in the woods, his heart was filled with pink bubbles. He thought of an appropriate word: this was probably the couple described in the book.
The long night passed slowly with the warm fire.
In his dream, Shen Wen relived his past life. At that time, when he woke up in the morning, he would always hug his beloved pet dog. He would stay in bed, stroke the puppy's fur with his eyes closed, and greedily enjoy the beauty of that moment.
While he was stroking the dog's neck and mumbling sweetly, he felt the dim light of a figure through his half-closed eyelids, which seemed to affect his beauty. He opened his eyelids with difficulty and looked at the figure.
The blurred figure also looked at him dimly, and said, "You are sleeping soundly, little thing, don't run away, I will come again tomorrow."
After saying that, he didn't leave, but stood in front of his bed, looking at him.
Shen Wen couldn't open his eyes and lay unsteadily on the bed, as if he was struggling to sit up. He wanted to catch that man and see what he looked like.
He had no choice; the pet dog that slept with him was particularly heavy on him and he couldn't push it away, which made him very angry.
"You're dead, you're dead."
Finally, Shen Wen was able to move and kicked the pet dog off the bed.
There was a thud.
Shen Wen opened his eyes and saw the figure vaguely. He rubbed his eyes and immediately woke up.
"Ji Ziyin?"
Shen Wen sat up and realized that he had just had a nightmare and they were still in the cave.
Ji Ziyan rubbed his waist which was hurt by his kick, and did not dare to question him. He understood Shen Wen quite well. He thought that he kicked him because he was having a nightmare just now.
Shen Wen recalled the dream he had just had and said, "I just had a dream. I dreamed that I was sleeping with my puppy in my arms..."
At this point he looked at his hands, and suddenly looked up at Ji Ziyin and said, "Did you sleep with me? Did I touch you just now?"
Ji Ziyin stood there awkwardly, her cheeks flushed slightly.
Shen Wen's eyes were very sharp, and he could see every subtle expression clearly.
Shen Wen's face turned ugly.
Ji Ziyin coughed uncomfortably and said, "This cave is so small and it's so cold at night. If I'm not by the fire, I can only stay at the entrance of the cave. It's damp and cold there..."
After hearing this, Shen Wen looked at the situation in the cave and gradually understood.
Ji Ziyin said, "You were in a nightmare just now, hugging me... You kept touching my hair and calling me little dog... The more I looked at you, the more I felt something was wrong with you... Then... you kicked me out while still dreaming... Well, you are really strong."
Omg!
I am so ashamed to face anyone!
Shen Wen's cheeks also started to burn. He coughed twice and said, "Nothing, I just dreamed of some strange things. I didn't mean to kick you just now. Sorry."
Ji Ziyin waved his hand, suddenly feeling very busy, and said, "I...I'll go find some firewood and light the fire."
Shen Wen looked at his hurriedly fleeing figure. He paused slightly at the entrance of the cave, as if he found something dirty on his hands, and couldn't help shaking his hands.
Ji Ziyan went to the nearby woods, picked up some branches, and kept an eye out to see if there were any living creatures that could be hunted.
A furry little head poked out of the hole under the hazelnut tree. Ji Ziyin saw it at a glance. He quickly reached out to catch it, but the little squirrel was very cunning and escaped just by a little bit.
Ji Ziyan looked at his hand and felt strange. It was the first time he failed to capture such a small animal at such a close distance.
It seems that it is because of my restlessness.
What was Ji Ziyin thinking about in the morning? He woke up in Shen Wen's arms. He was so scared that he dared not breathe. He was held in his arms and caressed and hugged. He did not dare to move. He was not a person who could remain calm. Until he touched a place he shouldn't have touched, his mind went blank and he grabbed his naughty hand...
But when he touched Shen Wen's feminine features, the feeling not only did not bring him excitement, but instead made him feel nauseous. He quickly let go of his hand, only to be kicked out by Shen Wen.
Ji Ziyan looked at his hands, but his mind was thinking about Shen Wen's voice, appearance and smile. After all, that little bit of strangeness overcame the longing that kept him awake all night.
He was really sinking deeper and deeper and couldn't extricate himself.
Seeing that he never came back, Shen Wen ran directly to the woods to find him. From a distance, he saw him hiding under a hazelnut tree in a daze, so he called him twice.
After waking up Ji Ziyin who was in deep thought, the two of them returned to the cave holding branches, lit the firewood pile, and roasted the leftover meat from last night.
While eating, Ji Ziyin said, "I know a little bit about the mountain roads around here. Follow me when we go down the mountain. Don't be too far away from me. It's easy to get lost in this kind of terrain."
Shen Wen nodded and couldn't help but joked: "Instead of giving me so many nagging instructions, why don't you just tie me around your waist with a belt? You don't have to worry about me. I won't be a burden to you. After all, I have some skills."
Ji Ziyin couldn't help but look at him, not believing him at all: "You? With your weak body, you still say you can reach out?"
Shen Wen was helpless. After all, he had little contact with this person and more contact with the glass-like person in his previous incarnation.
After eating the meat, the two men left the cave and looked for a path down the mountain.
When the horse took them up the mountain, they didn't go very far. It should have been easy to find a way out, but they just kept going around in circles and couldn't get out.
The two looked at the sun in the sky, and sat down under a tree tiredly and said, "Look at the sun. We have been walking for two hours, and it is already noon."
Ji Ziyin was dry and thirsty. Shen Wen beside him was also out of breath. He stood up and said, "I remember there is a small puddle over there. I also saw a monkey drinking water in the puddle. I'll go get you some water."
Seeing him stand up, he grabbed him and said, "Let's go together."
Shen Wen always had a feeling that the black fog covering the sky was about to come, and it would not be a good thing if he were to separate from Ji Zinyin at this time.
So the two of them headed towards the puddle in front of them on the right.
Two people were standing by a puddle and had just taken two sips of water when something unexpected happened again.
The monkey that had come to the water hole to drink water suddenly jumped out of the woods as if stimulated by something. It ran madly, stepping on the puddle and ran towards the opposite hillside. As soon as it ran away, a group of birds flew up behind it. The noisy and chaotic scene was about to make a hole in the sky. After a moment of confusion, they also flew towards the opposite mountain in a disorderly manner. Then large birds and beasts came out one by one, scaring Ji Ziyan and Shen Wen to escape quickly to the opposite mountain.
But when they ran on two legs, they were far behind those on four legs and those flying in the sky, and they fell behind.
Ji Ziyin and Shen Wen only felt strong gusts of wind blowing at the back of their heads, almost pushing them forward. There was also the strange cry of an eagle owl in the sky, the sound was so loud that it almost pierced their eardrums.
Shen Wen couldn't help but look back at the sky, but at that moment the sky was blocked by a huge object that suddenly flew in, and the surroundings around them instantly became dark.
"It's the big bird in the legend."
Ji Ziyin couldn't help but said, pointing at the sky.
Shen Wen also saw the bird clearly. He said, "It's not a bird, it's a giant eagle."
At this time, the giant eagle seemed to hear human voices and turned its head to look at Shen Wen and the others.
The giant eagle saw Shen Wen at a glance, it flapped its wings twice, and descended at high speed. With its huge claws, it picked up Shen Wen. Ji Ziyan, who was interlocking fingers with Shen Wen, panicked for a moment. He tried to grab Shen Wen's arm with his other hand, but the giant eagle flapped its wings and flew away.
Shen Wen was horrified, but before he could take the next step, the black fog that followed the giant eagle covered the night even more unpredictably, obscuring everything in the world.
Shen Wen was like a blind man, caught in the air, unable to launch any counterattack. He could only passively sway with the giant eagle, gradually flying higher and farther.
Shen Wen now understood that when the black fog descended, time and space changed. He didn't know whether the giant eagle was within the rules. Anyway, Ji Zinyin below must have been transferred to another time and space.
