Chapter 253: Removing the Thorn

Lan Shiruo felt both amused and sad. The little thing had reached the age of having a hundred thousand questions. From the bloody little man at the beginning, now, more than a year had passed, he had grown into a little bun who could run and jump, call mom and dad, feel sad, happy, and have his own ideas. But in the little guy's memory, there was only the cruelty and desolation after the end of the world.

The large group entered the mountain in the morning. When they entered the deep mountains, it was almost noon. After eating and resting, they continued on their journey. After walking for about four hours, it gradually darkened.

The temperature in the mountains is lower than outside. Ignoring other harsh factors, this is a good place to escape the summer heat.

Because of the towering trees that blocked out the sun, it got dark earlier than outside. Lan Shiruo and his group found a particularly sturdy tree, and after confirming that there were no living creatures on it, they climbed up and prepared to spend the night there.

Several people were soaked in sweat. When they took off their protective clothing, half a pound of water could be poured out of it. Their hands and feet were soaked white. The four kids couldn't adapt and had blisters on their feet.

Lan Shiruo took out the container, chose a good direction and placed it on the tree, secured it with an iron chain, and made sure it would not fall before they went to wash up.

After washing, Ao Chengyi went to cook while Lan Shiruo applied medicine to the kids.

"Does it hurt?"

The kids were so tired that their faces turned pale, and sweat covered their foreheads from the pain. They gritted their teeth and shook their heads, "It doesn't hurt."

Lebao was beside him, pouting, "Huhu, brother and sister don't feel any pain."

The four kids cooperated with little Lebao and said that it really didn't hurt at all. "Thank you, brother Lebao."

Lebao grinned, showing his tiny teeth, and blew the flute even more happily.

Lan Shiruo smiled and let Xiao Lebao busy herself while she pricked the blood blisters for the cubs one by one, disinfected them, and applied medicine. She said softly, "Before the end of the world, not only children of your age, but even people as old as your aunt were still spoiled in their parents' arms. They had never suffered hardship or fatigue, nor would they be hungry or cold, and it was even less likely for them to see the dangers of the world. But now it's different, do you understand?" She raised her head and her eyes swept across the faces of the four cubs one by one, calm, gentle, and without a trace of aggression.

The four children nodded. "Auntie Lan, we understand. Don't worry. We are not afraid of hardship or fatigue. We want to be useful and protect the people we care about."

"Lebao wants one too," the little guy raised his chubby hands, afraid that his bad mother would forget him, so he quickly rushed over to try to make his presence felt.

The general placed his big head on his master's lap, his eyes shining brightly. The hawk, a proud creature, moved over even though he was hesitant.

Lan Shiruo hugged Xiaopang, rubbed the beasts' heads, and nodded with a smile, "They are all good children. Don't worry, Uncle Jianghe's medicine is very good. The wound will scar after a good sleep. If you are not afraid of the little poisonous insects tomorrow, you don't need to wear protective clothing. It is uncomfortable. Just wear a pair of protective pants."

"Okay, we're not afraid."

"Okay, it's done, let's go eat."

Children have strong recovery abilities and they were full of energy in just over an hour. The five cubs and two animals gathered together, eating and having fun.

Lan Shiruo and Ao Chengyi were enjoying their leisure time, and the couple enjoyed a candlelight dinner.

The guys on the other side weren't so lucky.

Feng Tao, He Lian, Guo Zizhang, Yunding, Jiajia and Miaomiao, who were on the same plane, landed in different places, but not far from each other. It was just that this area was full of thorn forests, and there were no tall trees to block their view. They landed directly in the thorn forest, which was so painful that they were all turned into hedgehogs.

He was then covered by the falling parachute cloth and struggled for a full half hour before getting out, losing half his life.

After coming out, looking at the endless thorn forest, I wanted to give up the other half of my life as well.

Electronic devices really don’t work, we can’t communicate with each other, so if we want to go out we have to rely on ourselves.

The big team had anticipated the current situation, so everyone had a travel bag carrying food, water, medicine, weapons, and tents.

In Feng Tao and He Lian's team, the little dragon's nest was destroyed and there was no new one, so it could only nest on its owner's head as before, and turned into its favorite green color, the same color as the mountains here, which the dragon liked.

He Lian's mouth twitched. She didn't dare to look any longer, for fear that she would not be able to hold back and die of laughter.

Feng Tao didn't look in the mirror. He had warned Xiao Longlong before that he must not turn green no matter what color he turned. Xiao Longlong agreed. He trusted his contracted partner and didn't know that this guy was pretending to obey him. So, he had no idea that he was green again.

He glared at He Lian fiercely, "Why are you moving around? It doesn't hurt. Stay still and I'll make a piece of land for you first."

He Lian pursed her lips and nodded seriously, "Okay."

Feng Tao's macho pride was satisfied. Look, how manly he is, better than Big Brother. He won't be a coward in front of a woman and will just do whatever he says.

He Lianhehe really wants to give you a mirror to see how thick-skinned you are.

Feng Tao didn't need to know how thick his skin was, he just needed to know how strong his ability was as a man. In two or three minutes, he had cleared out the land where they were staying, and just enough space to lay the parachute cloth on the ground. "Come and sit down, I'll pick out the thorns for you."

When He Lian fell, she was in Feng Tao's arms, well protected, with only a few bruises on her arms. Feng Tao was in a terrible state, with bruises all over his back, especially his butt, which hit the ground first. He didn't dare to sit when he was picking at He Lian, so he could only kneel on the ground.

He Lian looked at the serious man. Although his facial features were rough, they made him look very handsome and charming. He usually liked to look ferocious and rough in his words and deeds. But at this moment, he was cautious, with a serious and pious look on his face, twisting his fingers to pull out the thorn for her. She thought he was the most handsome and especially gentle.

I raised my eyes slightly and saw green everywhere. Well, the little pink bubble that had just appeared disappeared completely.

"Okay, I don't have much on me. Lie down and I'll pick it for you."

Feng Tao's mind raced as he recalled the scene of He Lian treating his wounds. His ferocious face stiffened, "Why would I be so picky? I'm a man. This little stab won't kill me. We'll talk later."

He Lian didn't say anything, just looked at him tenderly.

Feng Tao, damn, is this woman's gaze a nuclear weapon? It's so destructive! Never mind. A grown man shouldn't bother with a woman. Just pick. "Hurry up, just pick whatever you want, don't dither." She just fell facefirst onto the ground, with the heroic spirit of a man ready to die.

He looked so cowardly, he probably completely forgot about his previous boasting and got slapped in the face on the spot.

He Lian curled her lips and said, "To deal with a man like Feng Tao, you have to use softness to overcome hardness."

He did not hesitate to strip off her pants and everything, exposing her butt.

Feng Tao felt the cold wind and his buttocks were cold

He Lian's eyes were red. There was not a single piece of good meat on the rough man's back. The same was true for his buttocks and thighs. They were all covered with dense thorns and scratches, and they looked painful.

Zhang Yun, Guo Zi, Miao Miao and Ding Jiajia also pulled out thorns.
