Xiao Nuo was picking up firewood in the gloomy forest while waiting for Ding Ning's return in horror, and secretly wondered where he was going to clean the snake meat.

It didn't take much effort for Ding Ning to come back, and Xiao Nuo couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where did you go to clean the snake meat?"

"There is a creek not far ahead, absolutely natural and pollution-free, the albino king cobra likes to live near the water, there must be a water source near the place where it haunts. ”

Ding Ning said naturally, of course he wouldn't tell Xiao Nuo, his unusual hearing had already heard the subtle gurgling sound of water in front of him.

Although this is a tropical rainforest with few dry branches, it is not difficult for Ding Ning to light a bonfire, and finding some branches containing grease can easily solve the ignition problem, at the cost of Ding Ning personally going out to make the branches Xiao Nuo find useless, in exchange for her chattering complaints.

But when the snow-white snake meat was roasted golden brown and the aroma of oil overflowed to the nose, Xiao Nuo's complaining stopped abruptly, and his stomach began to growl.

This can't be blamed, after all, from the night before to now, Xiao Nuo has never had a good meal, just came out of the underground base, and before he had a big meal, he went on a mission again.

Although Ding Ning also found some fruits and plant rhizomes for her to eat before, those things can only barely satisfy her stomach, how can they be compared with barbecue.

She didn't care about eating, and she stretched out her hand to feast, but was stopped by Ding Ning: "Wait a minute, although this kind of snake meat is delicious, it is not fragrant enough." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Xiao Nuo to protest, he took out a strange plant rhizome, crushed it in his hand, and dripped it on the snake meat.

Suddenly, the strange fragrance made Xiao Nuo's appetite wide, and he asked in surprise: "What is this, it is so fragrant." ”

"This is a spice that has not yet been universally accepted by humans, and I thought that only my hometown had this spice, but when I went to clean the snake meat just now, I found that it is also available here. ”

Ding Ning's expression carried a trace of nostalgia in his expression, although it was fleeting, he was still keenly noticed by Xiao Nuo.

"Are you homesick?" asked Xiao Nuo softly.

"yes, it's been five years, it's been a long time. ”

Ding Ning cleaned up his mood and smiled: "Don't say it, this day the fragrance is a pure natural spice, if it is dried and ground into powder, it will be more fragrant, but now the conditions are limited, although there is no dried spice flavor, but it also has a natural fragrance, there is a different flavor, you try it." ”

Xiao Nuo was already salivating, reached out to take the snake meat handed over by Ding Ning, and stuffed it into his mouth as if he was reincarnated like a starving ghost.

"My heart is hot!" As soon as Ding Ning's words fell, Xiao Nuo was pouted hotly and fanned hard with his hand, but the snake meat in his mouth was reluctant to spit out, and he muttered vaguely while chewing: "It's delicious, it's delicious, it's so delicious, I've never eaten anything so delicious." ”

Swallowing his saliva, he didn't wait for his tongue to rest, and began to stuff snake meat into his mouth without hesitation.

"It's not going to be ugly. Ding Ningsven took a bite of snake meat and teased with a grin.

Xiao Nuo rolled his eyes: "Can you not keep reminding me that this is snake meat, I never eat these strange things." ”

"Cut, what about the special police, I really don't know who taught you the wilderness survival training, the real wilderness survival, not to mention snakes, rats, ants, scorpions, tree bark, grass roots and even maggots, as long as it is something that can make people live, there is nothing that cannot be eaten. ”

Ding Ning said disdainfully, gulping down the golden snake meat, his face full of intoxication.

"Can you please stop saying such disgusting things as if you've been trained to survive in the wild. ”

Xiao Nuo knew that what Ding Ning said was true, whether it was her father or her brother, they had told her that in order to survive, let alone maggots, she had to drink her own urine.

"What kind of disgusting is this, I've eaten all those things, it's still raw, although the conditions in this rainforest are difficult, but there are too many things to eat, there is no life and death crisis at all, and when you have the opportunity to face that desperate situation of death threat, you will know how happy we are to still eat roasted snake meat." ”

Ding Ning remembered that when he was ten years old, the third master, Uncle Xiaowu, left himself in the Luochuan Mountains for seven days, and survived by eating insects, and said with deep feelings.

Xiao Nuo looked at him in a daze, and suddenly asked, "Who are you, and why did you have such an experience?"

Ding Ning looked stunned, knowing that he had inadvertently leaked his mouth again, and immediately said nonsense: "I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, when I was a child, I went into the mountains to collect medicine and got lost, I was trapped in the mountains, I didn't eat or drink, I survived by relying on some herbs and various insects as food." ”

Xiao Nuo glanced at him deeply, and he didn't know if he believed it, but he didn't ask any more, and ate snake meat in a big gulp, and after a long time, his face showed a touch of firmness, and he said quietly:

"If that happens, I'll be able to do it. ”

Ding Ning shook his head with a smile, and said meaningfully: "You are a special policeman, you usually don't encounter this situation, why bother to find guilt yourself, I tell you this, I also want to tell you that no matter what kind of desperate situation people come to, don't give up easily, as long as you work hard, there will always be a way." ”

Xiao Nuo nodded noncommittally, and raised his chin arrogantly: "I'm Xiao Nuo, so I won't give up easily." ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, Xiao Nuo seemed to sense a trace of relief behind Ding Ning's smile.

Indeed, Ding Ning vaguely signaled to Xiao Nuo just to let her not give up on herself.

He was frightened by Xiao Nuo's empty eyes just now, and he was really afraid that his pseudonym You Xu Mo would hurt this girl's heart and make her have no love to find a short-term vision, which would make him blame himself for a lifetime.

After eating, they took a short break, and the two started on their roads again.

Xiao Nuo was full, his physical strength had recovered a lot, and the speed of the two gradually increased.

As he passed the clear stream, Xiao Nuo also washed his face, of course, at the cost of suffering the pungent smell of Cordyceps repellent again.

However, after experiencing the previous things, Xiao Nuo didn't even frown as if he had been reborn, as if he had changed his brows after a meal.

Although he still had a straight face and rarely spoke, it made Ding Ning feel a lot more at ease, and he could feel that Xiao Nuo seemed to have undergone a transformation and had become stronger.

The dense rainforest is dark and damp, and the insects and birds fill the primeval forest with life, and occasionally the roar of large beasts in the distance.

Xiao Nuo followed closely behind Ding Ning with sweat and stickiness, but his beautiful eyes flashed with curiosity.

She didn't understand how Ding Ning did it, she had already been dizzy along the way, and she couldn't identify the direction at all.

But following Ding Ning is like an old horse knowing the way, he has not even encountered a large beast, as if this is his home, he is familiar, and occasionally he will go around in a big circle and avoid a certain place, but he will soon return to the original route.

Xiao Nuo is not a fool, she remembers the direction of the roar of the large beast in the place where she went around the circle a few times, what does this mean?

It shows that Ding Ning is extremely clear about the location of large beasts, and deliberately avoids those places that can pose a threat to them, is this an intuition of danger, or a full understanding of the habits of wild beasts?

If it was the former, then Ding Ning's intuition was too terrifying, and she felt that it should be the second.

What kind of person would know so much about the habits of wild beasts and the distribution of their territory? That is the hunter, a hunter who has been hunting all year round.

And the word hunter has an extraordinary meaning to Xiao Nuo, which reminds her of the ironwood arrow, the hunter's apprentice hunter, the unwarranted one who didn't even tell her real name.

Who is Ding Ning? Why is he a little doctor but has so much experience in hunting? What is his relationship with hunters?

As for what Ding Ning said about going up the mountain to collect herbs and practice, Xiao Nuo didn't even believe in a punctuation mark at all.

So many Chinese medicine practitioners go to the mountains to collect medicine, and I haven't heard of anyone who can master hunting skills.

Although that hunter is a bastard, it makes her heart hurt when she thinks about it, but there is no reason for feelings, not to mention that that guy is Xiao Nuo's first love, which makes her unforgettable and unforgettable.

Looking at Ding Ning's back, it gradually blurred in her eyes, overlapping with the shadow in her memory.

This feeling made Xiao Nuo frightened, they couldn't be alone, and the most powerful direct evidence was the difference in their height.

But why does he always bring himself an inexplicable sense of familiarity, whether it is the taste of their body that makes them feel at ease, or the same spanking action, they are all so similar, and even the voice is as similar as 99%, if it is a coincidence, this kind of coincidence is too outrageous.

Xiao Nuo's heart was full of trouble, although she knew that the hunter was fooling herself, but she couldn't let go of him and wanted to know his news.

She remembers that a scientist once did research, and when the two have been together for a long time, they will subconsciously imitate each other's movements, expressions, body language and even habits.

Over time, the living habits and body language of the two people will be strikingly similar, and even their appearance will be somewhat similar.

If there are two husbands and wives, it is called husband and wife, and if it is two men or two women, it is a brother or sister.

And Ding Ning is so similar to him, Xiao Nuo boldly speculated that these two people must have a great relationship, even if they are not brothers, at least they are brothers.

So Xiao Nuo planned to test Ding Ning, even if she didn't have any relationship with the hunter, she always had to give herself an explanation, not to mention that the bastard kissed him twice.

"Dr. Ding, where are you from?"

Ding Ning was stunned when he heard this, a touch of nostalgia flashed across his face, and he replied: "I am from southern Yunnan, a very remote town, but the scenery is picturesque and beautiful. ”

"Are you an only child?" asked Xiao Nuo persistently.

"Well, it should be. Ding Ning replied a little uncertainly.

"What should it be?" Xiao Nuo was very dissatisfied with his answer, thinking that he was fooling himself.

Ding Ning was silent for a moment before he said with some sadness: "For as long as I can remember, I haven't seen my mother, and no one has told me whether she is dead or alive, and I don't know if I have brothers and sisters." ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were an orphan. ”

Xiao Nuo heard the sentimentality in his voice, and apologized with some guilt.

Unexpectedly, Ding Ning was annoyed: "Who told you that I am an orphan, whether I have a father or not, it's just that my father is silent and can't kick out a stuffy fart, every time I ask him who my mother is, whether he is dead or alive, he is silent, smokes vigorously, and I am annoyed with no answer to ask too much, and I haven't asked in the future." ”

"I'm sorry, but I misunderstood. ”

Xiao Nuo was embarrassed to continue to apologize, and then continued to ask without discouragement, "Did you learn your medical skills from your father?"
