Chapter 17: Whose Knife Is It?

As soon as Nie Mo walked into the tent he was staying in, he saw Xia Xiaorong glaring at him, so he laughed and said, "One look at you is that you're angry." Seeing that Xia Xiaorong didn't say anything, he put down the water and said, "I'll go out first, quickly wash, there's a pad next to you." "No washing." Xia Xiaorong simply lay down, "Didn't you tell me to rest, I'll start sleeping now and sleep until tomorrow morning." Nie Mo's expression got serious, this is not the time for her to be naughty, he walked over and said, "Officer Xia, this is not the time to play with your temper, we still have a lot of things to do in the future, clean up a bit, I'll be looking for something to eat for you, and nourish your spirit to understand." Xia Xiaorong climbed up at once, listening to Nie Mo's tone, there may be something about to happen, whispered, "I didn't play any temper, it's you who don't understand, don't understand what girls are thinking." Nie Mo froze, not understanding exactly what she said, but his tone eased a bit, lowered his voice, and said, "Remember my words to raise your spirits, let's find a chance to leave here." "Is there danger here?" Xia Xiaorong tensed up, as a police officer she was already highly alert to danger, but right now she hadn't really found anything. Nie Mao nodded his head a little, his face heavy "Most likely." Then he looked at the woman in front of him, a little intolerant, only just returned from danger, may soon face unexpected difficulties again, he hesitated for a moment or told her what he was going to do tomorrow. Xia Xiaorong heard, felt a moment like falling into the ice cellar, his face is very ugly, "You mean to say that you don't know whether you will die or live tomorrow day? If you must go, I accompany you." "If you go, I'll really be dead," Nie Mao laughed. "You're still laughing, if that's the case I'd rather I didn't go looking for any herbs that day, I'd be better off dragging you down the mountain than now." After saying that, she glared at him fiercely twice. Nie Mo and her had been together for a while, and had been in several dangers. Unconsciously there was a certain amount of affection between the two, knowing that the other party cared about him, they just didn't want her to worry too much. After a while, Nie Mao suddenly asked, "Do you still remember on the way here, passing a small stream, heading there to cross a small peak, and there's an oval cave entrance hole in the place where you enter the woods." "Don't remember," Xia Xiaorong shook her head a little. Nie Mo thought for a while and said, "That's okay, you should be able to find it once you get there, tomorrow after I leave, you go and wait for me there." Xia Xiaorong didn't ask why because she believed that Nie Mao had his reasons for doing so, what she was worried about was that tomorrow he wouldn't know if he would be able to come back after this trip "Can't you just not go?" "After all, I promised Renya, he saved my life and you, I'm going this time even if it's to return her favor" Nie Mao met Leng Renfeng today and found out about Dr. Chen's weirdness, it made him feel an inexplicable danger, he didn't know if he was overly anxious, he used to want to know about the bottom line of these people and was very curious, but now Xia Xiaorong had returned to his side, he would not allow this danger to really happen. Xia Xiaorong suddenly said, "By the way, when we were coming back I seem to have seen an airplane over the woods, I don't know if it's someone coming up the mountain to find us." "En, it's possible it's just that I'm afraid it's not easy to find us in this big mountain, we still have to rely on ourselves." Just when Xia Xiaorong still wanted to speak, Nie Mao covered her mouth at once, signaling her to keep quiet, then lowered his hand again, Xia Xiaorong just looked at him without saying anything. Nie Mo listened carefully to the movement outside, now his own body recovery, ear power of course also a lot better, someone, he has determined that it is likely to be that Dr. Chen, think he should be just come, did not hear the words they said in front of them, it seems that in the future should be more careful. Nie Mo whispered a few words in Xia Xiaorong's ear, Xia Xiaorong's ears are red, began to follow Nie Mo's words, said some men and women lovers words, very meat numbness and also some exposed, of course, Nie Mo also with her. The people outside stood for ten minutes before leaving, looking at Xia Xiaorong's face was still red and delicate, Nie Mo felt embarrassed, the atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward, he stood up and said, "I'll go out first, you quickly wash, I'll keep watch outside, when you've washed up, I'll go get you something to eat." Looking at Nie Mao's back as he went out, Xia Xiaorong smiled happily. Nie Mo sat on the grass not far from the tent, looking at the distant waterfall fell into deep thought, someone was eavesdropping on their conversation outside the tent, it was even more certain of his previous thoughts, now the most crucial thing is how to stay alive tomorrow, and still not be seriously injured, but the last fight with the monster was still fresh in his mind, his heart skipped a beat again, as he was far from being a match for the strange man, what in the world is he going to do about it. Dr. Chen walked over and sat next to Nie Mao, smiling, "Your friend is a cop, so pretty." Nie Mo glanced at him, thinking about how he wasn't too comfortable in his heart just now when he was eavesdropping outside, but smiled anyway, not really knowing what to talk to him about for a moment. Seeing that Nie Mo didn't say anything, Dr. Chen thought that he was worried about tomorrow, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll go get you guys some food, your friend must be very hungry." Watching him leave, Nie Mo really hoped that these thoughts, were just him being paranoid. When it got dark, it rained again, heavily, Nie Mo and Xia Xiaorong went to see Duan Qishan once, awake yes, but his consciousness was still a bit fuzzy. For safety reasons, they slept in a tent, and Dr. Chen took it for granted that they were a couple. At night, Nie Mu and Xia Xiaorong didn't talk much and could barely sleep. Nie Mo opened his eyes and thought about things, then suddenly stood up and said to Xia Xiaorong, "I'm going out for a bit, don't go out, have a good rest." "Where are you going? It's still raining outside." Nie Mo turned around and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon" He said and walked out, looking at the large cave entrance in the distance, he had many questions in his mind, and then looked at the large waterfall, and then walked to the tent where Duan Qishan was located, he listened carefully outside to make sure that there was just one person inside, and gently walked in, it was very dark inside. Nie Mo still barely saw Duan Qishan lying there, I don't know whether he was asleep or his consciousness was still blurred, so he didn't notice his arrival, if so then his wound was infected badly, after all, he was in good physical condition and after such a long time. Nie Mo stood for a while, then he heard his sleepy voice, it was the same as what he heard in the afternoon, that's why he came here at this time. Nie Mo tried to ask him words, but the other party did not respond at all, just as he was about to leave, he heard the intermittent words coming out of Duan Qishan's mouth again, in which the waterfall appeared the most, why would Duan Qishan mention that waterfall, his heart alerted. Nie Mo was puzzled for a moment, thinking that perhaps the sound of the waterfall was too loud, appeared in his sleep, but then suddenly thought of the afternoon when he stood under the waterfall, clearly saw the water pool inside the fish swimming still more, at that time did not think too much, before he trusted that Dr. Chen, on the other side to tell him that the water can not be drunk words are more convinced, but now it is different, Dr. Chen's words have to be reconsidered. After Nie Mo went out of Duan Qishan's tent, he looked towards that big waterfall, maybe Duan Qishan was hinting at something, if he wanted to figure it out, it was only now, thinking of this, ran over against the rain. This time the waterfall's water sound is extraordinarily loud, like a fierce beast kept roaring in Nie Mou's ears, the waterfall in the night looks extraordinarily eye-catching, as if this black night ripped open a rift. He looked at the dark pool of water, very hesitant, even if the water is not a problem, but what is underneath, there is no light to jump down and can not see anything, his heart is also struggling, tomorrow to face the monster, he is to be a lot of bad luck, and now also intends to go into the pool of water, this idea is not enough to be sensible, now is not to satisfy his curiosity, if something happens to him, Xia Xiaorong how to do? If anything happens to him now, what will Xia Xiaorong do? If something happens to him, what will Xia Xiaorong do? Thinking of this, Nie Mu decided to go back first. Back in the tent, Nie Mo heard Xia Xiaorong climb up, and knew that she definitely hadn't slept. He asked, ''Why aren't you asleep? Where will you get the energy to wait for dawn." "Can I sleep without you? What are you doing out there." Saying that, he lit the lamp and saw that Nie Mo was soaked to the skin, then handed him a handkerchief. Nie Mao told her his thoughts, Xia Xiaorong stayed silent for a long time before saying, "Do you really want to take a look in that water pool? That water pool and that monster are both so dangerous, I hope you don't even go." Nie Mao laughed, "That's why I'm back, tomorrow's plan will remain the same, go to sleep now" Xia Xiaorong wasn't talking because she knew that the one who needed to rest the most right now was Nie Mao. Nie Mo turned his head to look at Xia Xiaorong who had fallen asleep, thinking that he was really naive for wanting to jump into that pool of water just now, and that tomorrow's matter was the priority. Dawn, the rain also stopped, but the sky is very gloomy, just like Nie Mo's mood at this time, Xia Xiaorong walked out of the tent to see Nie Mo standing outside, looking at the man's magnificent back, she had a kind of indescribable melancholy, "Soon to leave?" Nie Mao heard Xia Xiao's voice and turned around with a smile "You're worried?" "I don't know, now that I see you I'm suddenly not so worried, I believe you, I'll wait for you in that cave as you said, if you don't show up, I'll never leave, you'll definitely come, right?" Nie Mo looked at her for a long time, walked up and put his hand on Xia Xiaorong's shoulder, but didn't say a word. Only after a long time did he leave Xia Xiaorong and walk towards the entrance of the big cave, Xia Xiaorong watched him leave and silently prayed for him in her heart, maybe this is the only thing she can do for him now. Dr. Chen was already there waiting for him, holding a bag with some food in it and a gun at his feet, seeing Nie Mao walking, he said, "This is for you, I'll take you to the east side of that forest and I'll be back, the rest is up to you." "Got a knife?" Nie Mao knew that carrying a weapon wasn't much use, packing light was the only thing that wouldn't affect his speed, and when he went to lure that monster, it would be speed that he'd be competing against. Dr. Chen heard him say this, and drew out a knife from his body at once, it was actually the same as the one NieMo had gotten rid of before, and he didn't know if it was RenYa's or not, Dr. Chen was surprised when he saw NieMo's expression, "You've seen this kind of short knife before." "En, I've seen it before, at Renya's place, is this her knife?" Of course Nie Mu would not tell the other party that he had one just like it before. But why would Dr. Chen have such a knife? Dr. Chen laughed, "This knife is mine, I just lent it to her last time, Renya likes this knife a lot, and I, I can't give it to her, but she's the one who uses it most of the time." Nie Mo really didn't expect this knife to be his, deliberately holding it in his hand and gesturing, he laughed, "In that case, this knife must be a good one" he said as he glanced at Dr. Chen and added, "Dr. Chen how did you get it, huh, looking at you you don't look like someone who likes to use knives either. " "Would you believe me if I said I picked it up." Dr. Chen smiled but kept looking at Nie Mu's expression. "Don't believe me," Nie Mu said as he looked at the knife in his hand, "This kind of good knife is so easy to pick up?" Dr. Chen looked at Nie Mu holding the knife, the heart is still a little reluctant to give up, just smiled and said: "Maybe this is me and this knife have destiny it!" Nie Mu didn't ask, knowing that he couldn't find a reason to ask, but his heart had always had a question, whose knife was this in the end. After a while, Nie Mu put the knife away, took the food and said, "Let's go!"
