Chapter 41: Sprained Ankle



The visibility was poor due to the heavy snow, and everything was white. She didn't know where she was. When Xu Xingchen came to her senses, she found herself in a dead tree forest. She calmed down and searched her memory. There was a dead tree forest outside the west of the village.

She actually walked to the west of the village, and when she realized she had gone too far, she planned to return the same way.

The wind and snow had covered the footprints she had left. Having lost her way, she had no choice but to turn on her computer and call Munduner.

The result told her: Your Mundun has gone into hibernation due to the cold weather.

Oh my god! Just now, her big son was eating chicken with her!

She hurriedly searched for the manual of the Traveling Frog and saw the note about the Traveling Frog's form: The Traveling Frog has two forms. In reality, the Traveling Frog appears in the form of a human child. When it enters the data body form, it will turn into a frog form, and all its habits are the same as those of the ecological frog.

So, my son also hibernates in winter like the frog! ?

Xu Xingchen burst into tears. She was wrong. She shouldn't have let Mendun'er's data be transformed into the optical computer because she thought it was troublesome to stuff her into the straw raincoat.

She opened the system again to check her backpack. Every time Menduner went out, he would bring back some props.

She opened the prop bar and saw all sorts of little gadgets, such as sunglasses, baseball caps, footballs, etc. She scrolled the bar again and found a flashlight at the bottom.

She clicked on the property: Solar flashlight.

This works! She clicked it and a flashlight appeared in her hand.

Although she didn't have a compass, it was good to have some lighting. She continued to grope her way back with a flashlight.

Suddenly she heard a noise behind her. She immediately turned off the flashlight, hid behind a dead tree trunk and held her breath.

"Crackle, crackle..."

Sure enough, there was someone there! And the sound was getting closer!

Xu Xingchen's heart was beating like thunder. Who could be outside in such a snowy and windy weather? Could it be some wild beast?

While she was guessing, the footsteps moved away, seemingly going in another direction?

It was not advisable to stay here for long, she had to change location, thinking this, she bent down and moved slowly.

“Crack—”

"!!!" The dead tree branches were covered with heavy snow. Xu Xingchen didn't notice and stepped on them, making a sound.

Not far away, there were sudden and hurried footsteps coming towards her, and a dark shadow could already be seen!

Xu Xingchen wanted to run immediately, but out of fear, his legs and feet did not keep up with the command of his brain, and he was half a beat late, with a clear click sound.

She sprained her ankle.

The black shadow was getting closer and closer. Xu Xingchen's psychological fear and the pain in her ankle made her scream out of control, "Ah - don't come over!" She instinctively threw the flashlight in her hand at the black shadow.

The black shadow groaned and continued to walk towards her. Xu Xingchen closed her eyes in despair, letting the tears slide down her cheeks.

She closed her eyes tightly, her mind playing a kaleidoscope of memories, recalling every detail of the past twenty years.

After a long time without any signs of being attacked, Xu Xingchen quietly opened her eyes a little, and Jun Haoyue's jade-like face was right above her head, with a playful smile on his face.

Xu Xingchen realized that the black shadow was the handsome face in front of him, and suddenly he became angry. He pushed his face away, made a snowball and threw it at his face.

Jun Haoyue didn't react to her series of actions and took the blow.

He wiped the snow off his face and said with a helpless smile: "Xingchen, didn't you just say you were very brave?"

Xu Xingchen got angry and threw another snowball at him, but this time he dodged it by turning his head.

Jun Haoyue smiled and said, "I didn't hit it."

"you!..."

Seeing that she was about to raise her hand again, he hurriedly stopped her and said, "Alright, alright, how did you find your way to such a far place? Even if Zhou Xiaoniang ran, she couldn't possibly have gotten here."

"Let's go back to the village first."

Jun Haoyue stretched out his hand to pull Xu Xingchen up, but just as Xu Xingchen made a gesture to stand up, he hissed.

His brows furrowed, and his tone instantly became anxious: "What's wrong? Where are you hurt?"

"It's all your fault. You ate too much salt and were bored, so you scared me and caused me to sprain my ankle." Xu Xingchen complained with a bitter face.

Jun Haoyue's brows relaxed slightly, and he looked apologetic: "It's my fault, let me see..." As he said that, he reached out to touch her ankle, but Xu Xingchen retracted his leg to avoid him.

Xu Xingchen folded his legs a little awkwardly and replied, "No, I just sprained it. No need to look."

"Let me see if you have injured your tendons or fractured your bones. If you move rashly, it will get worse." Jun Haoyue said with a serious face, not allowing for refusal.

Xu Xingchen curled his lips, feeling a little aggrieved, and could only obediently stretch out his legs for him to see.

Jun Haoyue knelt on one knee on the ground, put her leg on the kneeling leg, took off her shoes, and carefully touched her ankle.

Her ankle was already swollen. He moved his fingers inch by inch while observing Xu Xingchen's expression. She didn't react much when he touched her bones, so she must have sprained her tendons.

After confirming, Jun Haoyue relaxed his brows and said, "I twisted my tendon, but luckily no bones were broken... What happened to you?" He frowned again and patted her face.

Xu Xingchen was simply nervous, so nervous that he forgot to breathe, and his face turned red, which scared Jun Haoyue.

Xu Xingchen lost her temper after being slapped in the face. She took a deep breath and, after catching her breath, she called out in a cracked voice, "Hey, you just touched my feet and you slapped my face without washing your hands!?"

Jun Haoyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You even dislike your own feet?"

Xu Xingchen was choked, her almond-shaped eyes widening as she stared at him, like a little goldfish. Jun Haoyue smiled and reached out to tap her forehead with his knuckles: "I don't know what you think about in your little head all day."

Without waiting for Xu Xingchen to bare her teeth at him, he stood up and looked around, then squatted down, turned his back to her and said, "Your foot is injured, I'll carry you back."

Jun Haoyue squatted for a while and found that no one had come up yet. Just as he was about to turn around to look, his back suddenly felt heavy. Xu Xingchen leaned over his back, patted his shoulder, and said softly, "Let's go."

"kindness."

Jun Haoyue picked up the flashlight that she had used to hit him, turned on the switch and handed it to the person on his back, asking her to light the way.

At this moment, Xu Xingchen on his back was in a mess of thoughts and did not even think about how Jun Haoyue, a "native", could use a flashlight in the technological age.

Xu Xingchen was lying on Jun Haoyue's back, listening to the heartbeat coming from his chest. She felt inexplicably at ease. She rubbed against him unconsciously like a cat and lay down contentedly.

Jun Haoyue paused slightly, and a soft and gentle voice sounded in her ears: "...What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xu Xingchen froze. She was in a brief state of social deadness, and was very puzzled and regretful about why she had just done that.

"Stardust?"

Xu Xingchen suddenly woke up, "Ah? What did you say?"

Jun Haoyue was silent for a moment and continued, "It's okay."

Silence fell between the two of them, the only sounds in their ears were the rustling of snow and the crunching of footsteps on the snow.
