Chapter 223 Dizzy



Chapter 223 Dizzy

Finally, after walking for another half an hour, Zhou Guo squatted down and said to Zhou Mai: "Come on, brother, I'll carry you."

Zhou Mai was stunned. He knew that he had delayed the trip, but being carried by his sister...

It seemed like he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. How could he, as a brother, be carried on his sister's back? As a brother, he should be the one taking care of his sister.

Zhou Dacang gave a gentle push from behind, and the man lay on Zhou Guo's back. "Just go if I tell you to. She's so strong that she can carry you like a feather, and she can run even faster. Just try what it feels like to fly on her back."

Zhou Dacang himself wanted to try it. How should I put it? His lightness skill was not really lightness skill. At most, he could run faster. He couldn't jump two meters high or three meters far. He really wanted to experience what it felt like to fly.

Zhou Guo carried the man on his back easily and reminded Zhou Mai, "Brother, hold on tight."

After saying that, he ran out.

Before Zhou Mai could react, his body leaned back involuntarily. He was so scared that he subconsciously grabbed Zhou Guo's collar. Then he could hear the wind whistling past his ears. When he encountered a downhill slope, he would jump down from it. Sometimes when he encountered a high obstacle, he would jump up.

After entering the forest, Zhou Guo let himself go, running and jumping among the treetops, and crawling through the branches. If he hadn't considered that he was carrying a person on his back, he would have somersaulted several times.

Although her Qinggong skills have improved greatly, she is still far from being a master. She can only run faster, jump higher and leap farther.

Even so, Zhou Dacang was left far behind. He was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead and he almost swore. This kid ran so fast, doesn’t he know that he doesn’t know the road?

When Zhou Guo was halfway through his run, he finally remembered that there was someone behind him. He looked back and listened, and it seemed that the person was still very far away, so he had to fly out to meet him.

Zhou Da Cang hurried and finally caught up. Seeing Zhou Guo waiting in the distance, he was very happy and said, "I thought you had forgotten about me, your uncle. I didn't expect you were still waiting for me."

Zhou Guo laughed, feeling a little guilty, "Let's go, we'll be there after we climb a few hills."

After entering the woods, she ran as fast as she could. Zhou Dacang followed closely behind her, looking at the direction she left from afar and rarely falling behind.

When Zhou Guo carried Zhou Mai to the pond, the old man was already holding a fish and eating it. There were two piles of firewood in front of him, three rabbits on the left, three pheasants on the right, and a pile of fish bones on the ground next to them. It was unknown how many fish he had eaten.

Zhou Guo was really shocked, but he was just one step ahead of them. In such a short time, he had eaten the fish, caught the rabbits and pheasants, processed them, and put them on the rack. If you didn't know, you would think they had arrived in the morning.

He came forward and said, "Master, you are so fast. I almost suspected that you came here in a flash. How can you do so many things? Didn't you leave these rabbits and pheasants here last night?"

The old man raised his head from the big fish, tilted his head to look at the person on his back, and raised his chin, "Your brother doesn't look well, are you sure you don't want to put him down?"

"Ah?" Zhou Guo was startled, and quickly put the man down. She found that Zhou Mai's face was pale, his eyes were lifeless, and his body was limp. He looked like he was dying. She was so scared that she quickly reached out and patted his face, and was extremely anxious. "Brother, brother, brother, what's wrong with you? Talk to me, where do you feel uncomfortable? Where did you bump into something?"

Not getting a single answer, Zhou Guo panicked, "Master, please come and take a look, what's wrong with my brother?"

There was a tearful tone in her voice, she was worried and confused, and her mind was blank.

The old man didn't even put down the fish in his hand, and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, it looks like he was frightened by your jumping up and down, or maybe he got dizzy. Don't worry about him, just let him lie down, he will get better soon."

"Ah? Oh!" Zhou Guo was stunned, thinking about how he had heard nothing along the way except for his first shout. His throat seemed to be blocked afterwards. He also thought about how he had been jumping around like a monkey, and it seemed like he had never asked Zhou Mai if he could bear it. He suddenly felt guilty.

He said apologetically, "Brother, I'm so sorry. I forgot about you when I started running. It was mainly because you were too light and didn't talk. I forgot you were still on my back."

Zhou Mai's eyes moved and he glanced at her. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but his stomach churned and he felt something rushing out of his stomach. He immediately used his hands and feet to crawl to the side and vomited loudly.

One sound after another, the old man could no longer eat the fish.

Zhou Guo felt so guilty that he quickly took down the bamboo tube and walked over to pat Zhou Mai on the back. After Zhou Mai finally vomited everything, he handed the bamboo tube to him and said, "Brother, drink some water. I'm so sorry."

After vomiting everything out, Zhou Mai felt much better and regained his spirits. He wiped his tears, rinsed his mouth with water, and drank a few more gulps. Then he waved his hands and said weakly, "It's okay, it's not your fault. I'm too useless to be knocked unconscious on your back."

Zhou Guo said: "I am usually very extravagant, and once I started running, I didn't pay much attention to you."

The old man nodded and wanted to say that the method of carrying weights to practice light Kung Fu was also a good idea, but he immediately remembered that this girl was incredibly strong and a little weight could not do anything to her. The weight was too big for her to move in the woods, so he had to give up.

He said to Zhou Guo, "Go down to the pond and take a look. I went down there several times and only caught a few grass carps. I didn't even see the shadow of the fish."

He waved to Zhou Mai again and said, "You've vomited so much, your stomach must be clean now. Here, there's still half of the fish left. I haven't touched this half yet, so I'll give it to you."

Zhou Mai was very touched at once. Knowing that the old man had not eaten enough in the morning, he refused and said, "Sir, you should eat. You only had a bowl of porridge in the morning. I'll take a rest. I don't have an appetite now."

The old man said with a fierce face: "How can you have no appetite? You vomited so much, all the bile came out, there is nothing in your stomach, and you are burning with fever. Come and eat this fish, and you will feel better after eating it."

Moved by this, Zhou Mai stood up and said, "Then wait a moment, I'll take care of this dirty thing."

He took a hoe and scooped up the ash from previous burns and covered the vomit with it. After covering it tightly, he went to the stream to wash his face and hands.

Then he happily sat down opposite the old man and took the grilled fish handed to him. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that he saw some reluctance and heartache on his face.

Zhou Guo rolled up her trouser legs and sleeves and went into the water. She was still in the same position as yesterday and walked back and forth in the water twice, but she didn't even see the shadow of the fish. She decided to give this fish a name, the Shadowless Fish, which comes and goes without a trace.

Just as she turned her head, she caught a glimpse of a dark shadow whizzing past from the front left.
