Chapter 2 Who Will Look at You
I don't know how long have been riding, the sky has been dyed a thin layer of twilight by the afterglow of the setting sun, but the dense birch forest is still endless.
Just when Ning You's tolerance for pain had reached the limit, he suddenly saw a fallen dead tree in front of him, a vigorous black horse jumped high, and the vacant picture instantly turned into slow motion.
... not really.
Ning You looked at the ground in fear, didn't he have enough bad luck today?
The hooves of "Tuk Tuk" sounded again, and the buttocks and the saddle were in close contact again, and the pain was so painful that Ning You almost lost his soul.
Fortunately, after stepping over this dead tree, the dark horse seemed to understand that the person on his back was already half-dead, and suddenly slowed down, changing from running to fast walking.
Compared with the peak of pain just now, the impact of walking quickly became less painful.
Ning You gradually calmed down, the birch forest in front was obviously sparse, and the horizon was no longer covered by branches and leaves, but a vast open space appeared.
A circle of wooden fences was erected on the periphery of the clearing, and there was a cattle grazing, a large vegetable garden and a large pile of wood in the fence. In the corner of the fence stood an exquisite log cabin, with a faint orange lamp lit in front of the door.
"It's here." Li Mu pulled the reins, and the dark horse's speed completely slowed down, turning into a leisurely stroll.
"You live here?" Surprise overshadowed the pain, Ning You looked around, always feeling incredible, "Why is there an open space in the middle of the woods?"
"There was a hunter who lived here in the early years." Li Mu quickly dismounted and led the dark horse into the fence. "Now he has moved to the village below, and the place is empty."
Ning You looked in the direction indicated by Li Mu, and could vaguely see the border of the birch forest not far ahead, and beyond the border, there was a flat grassland.
"Aren't you coming down yet?" Li Mu's voice pulled back Ning You's line of sight.
Ning You moved her left leg, but her crotch really hurt. He leaned on the horse's back cautiously, and firmly stepped on the stirrup with his right foot. He wanted to slide down the horse's belly, but when his body had already started to slide down, his right foot could not be pulled out of the stirrup in time. When he came out, the whole person turned into a posture of landing on his back.
The expected pain did not appear, and Ning You fell into a sturdy embrace.
A fragrant fragrance came to the nostrils, with the bitter taste of Chinese herbal medicine, but it smelled very good.
If Ning You didn't smell it wrong, this should be the smell on Li Mu's body.
This is so weird.
Ning You looked at Li Mu's chin, thinking that this princess hug is not a normal social gesture, right? How can this man be so natural?
Li Mu didn't react. After catching Ning You, he threw it to the side and threw Ning You out.
Inertia made Ning You take two steps forward before barely standing up. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Li Mu, and found that Li Mu was stroking the dark horse's neck while whispering to it, "It's hard work."
If it weren't for the fact that he was in front of him, Ning You couldn't believe that his treatment couldn't compare to a horse.
After tying the reins, Li Mu turned around and walked towards the cabin. After a few steps, he seemed to suddenly realize that there was another person here, turned around and said to Ning You, "Follow me. ."
Ning You is not used to being treated as air, but he also knows that the current environment does not allow him to be picky. He obediently followed behind Li Mu and walked into the cabin.
The thick wooden door blocked the cold outside the house. There were no compartments in the cabin. The decoration and furnishings were much better than Ning You imagined. Looking closely, it seemed that many furniture had no traces of use.
"Take off your shoes." Li Mu said.
A sunken porch was made at the entrance, and above the steps was a carpet that covered the entire cabin. After Li Mu took off his khaki martin boots, he hung his leather jacket on a hook beside him. As he walked in, he took off his red and blue plaid shirt, revealing the white vest inside.
In Ning You's cognition, only dirty workers would wear this loose white vest.
He hated being dirty the most, but somehow he couldn't take his eyes off the sturdy arm.
The line at the collarbone extends from the shoulder to the forearm, and the blood vessels on the back of the hand are clearly visible.
Ning You doesn't like shirtless men in the gym. He thinks these people are rude, but at this time he suddenly realizes that the reason why he doesn't like it is probably because these people's shirts are not good-looking enough.
Either a bulge of muscle mass, or more fat than muscle. And Li Mu's arm is just right, the lines are clear and smooth, and it looks pleasing to the eye.
- Of course, still can't look at the face.
Li Mu's facial features are handsome and strong, but there is a sparse beard on his jawline, which is the most unbearable thing for Ning You.
As long as a man doesn't shave when he goes out, even if he is a recognized earth ball grass, Ning You will give him zero points.
"What are you doing at the door?" Li Mu's voice suddenly interrupted Ning You's thoughts.
Realizing that she was seriously looking at the savage's appearance, Ning You quickly lowered her head, took off her hiking shoes, and asked, "Is this carpet made of genuine leather?"
Li Mu said, "No."
Although not, but the foot feel is still good to step on.
Ning You walked into the house and found that the cabin was very new, and many of the facilities were very modern. For example, the coffee machine on the kitchen counter is exactly the same as the one in Ning You's house.
"Charging?" Li Mu took out a charging plug from the desk drawer.
Of course Ning You was in urgent need of charging, but he still asked politely, "Thank you, do you want to charge first?"
"No, my phone has power." Li Mu plugged Ning You in, and then walked towards the kitchen while brushing his own phone.
Considering the problem of the mobile phone interface, Ning You glanced at it unintentionally and found that Li Mu was using an Apple mobile phone. This surprised him a little, because after coming to the Hanas Lake Scenic Area, every local person he met used a domestic mobile phone.
It didn't take long for the familiar boot screen to appear, but Ning You's phone still had no signal.
At this point, this broken fruit phone is still not as easy to use as a domestic mobile phone.
"Do you have wifi here?" Ning You looked at Li Mu and asked.
Standing by the kitchen island, Li Mu put down the water glass in his hand, still looking at the screen of his mobile phone, and said without raising his head, "Eight 1s."
Ning You counted in her heart and entered "11111111" in the password column.
The phone was finally connected to the Internet, and in the next minute, Ning You's WeChat was about to blow up.
In addition to Li Chao's numerous video calls, the accompanying assistant Xiao Zhao also sent Ning You Wechat like crazy. What's more, Ning You's parents' private plane had already submitted a flight plan to the local airport, and is now in the process of Queue at the airport, waiting to fly to Xinjiang.
Ning You reported everyone to be safe. After the vibration of WeChat finally subsided, he looked at Li Mu and asked, "Can you take me to the scenic spot tomorrow?"
Li Muxiao didn't look at his phone for a long time, only then did he realize that someone in the WeChat rescue group had already sent a notice.
He replied, "People have been found," and then said to Ning You, "Send you there tomorrow morning."
Before long, the sky will be completely dark. There are always various wild beasts in the woods at night, unless it is necessary, or try not to walk at night if you can.
Ning You's phone vibrated again, it was a message from Li Chao.
[Li Chao: I will pick you up tomorrow morning. γ
[Ning You: Thank you. γ
[Li Chao: Don't leave my side next time. γ
γNing You: Hmm. γ
The conversation between Ning You and Li Chao has always been very polite. Although the two are about to get married, everyone around them knows that they are not very familiar with each other.
But after getting lost this time, Li Chao actually said something like "don't leave me" to Ning You. This should be considered a big progress, right?
When the Ning family was looking for a marriage partner, many businessmen and celebrities were eager to move. Although Ning You's sexuality excluded most people, there were still many rich sons who handed over their resumes.
Among them, Ning You was most satisfied with Li Chao, because Li Chao was not only a gentleman, but also had the calmness of a doer.
Later, Ning You learned about Li Chao's family background in detail. The Li family runs a pharmaceutical and chemical company. Although it is not comparable to the Ning family's family background, it is also a leading company in Jinshi.
In addition to Li Chao, the Li family also has a young son, who is said to be unemployed and not at home all the year round. However, this did not affect Ning You's impression of Li Chao.
Although Ning You's original intention to find a marriage partner was not to fall in love, if the two of them can enjoy each other in the future, then of course it will be the best state.
The aroma of rice wafted from the kitchen, and Ning You's stomach groaned twice.
After completely relaxing, the sweat and dust on her body made Ning You extremely uncomfortable. He looked around the cabin and asked Li Mu, "Can you take a shower here?"
Li Mu was cooking a simple pilaf, raised his chin casually, pointed in the direction of the wooden door and said, "Outside."
Ning You planned to take a shower while Li Mu was cooking. He didn't need to be comfortable, he just needed to feel refreshed. He opened the wooden door and looked out, and was soon blown back by the cold autumn wind.
"Where is outside?" Ning You asked strangely. Inside the wooden fence, there is only one building, the log cabin.
Li Mu flipped the spatula twice, then turned off the induction cooker, and took Ning You to an open space outside the kitchen wall.
"Turn this switch on and hot water will come out." Li Mu took a pipe from the wall-mounted water heater and stuffed it into Ning You's hand, "There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, so come in quickly after washing."
After speaking, Li Mu was about to return to the house. Ning You hurriedly grabbed him and asked in confusion, "Is it here to wash?"
"Otherwise?" Li Mu asked.
"How do you wash here!" Ning You realized that Li Mu was not joking with him, her eyes widened in disbelief.
There is no privacy outside the wooden house. What is the difference between taking a bath here and a savage?
"The shower room has not been repaired." Li Mu said, "It can be washed here."
"Where's the covering?" Ning You asked impatiently.
"Why cover it up?" Li Mu looked puzzled, "Who would look at you?"
"But..." Ning You still couldn't accept this. Human civilization has developed for thousands of years, how can he live and go back?
Li Mu's patience has always been limited. Seeing Ning You dawdling, he threw the sentence "I love to wash or not", and then returned to the house.
Ning You stood alone in the wind and messy, he couldn't stand the sticky feeling on his body, after a fierce battle between heaven and man in his heart...
He finally took off his coat through gritted teeth.
