Dingqiong Prefecture Chapter 69 Prepare to enter the mountain
In the early morning, a white mist poured down from the top of the mountain like milk, and in a short time it completely entwined the peaks like a dream.
Yueying usually wakes up early, usually before the sun comes out, she has to get up quickly to prepare the day's food.
She got up very early today, because there were three guests in the house, although the village chief sent some food last night, which was made up by the surrounding villagers, just to entertain Yuan Shen Doctor and his friends.
However, in order to prepare the freshest food for her benefactors, the kind-hearted Yueying still went out wearing stars.
Yueying is worthy of being one of the best hunters in Beiwo Village, but in just two or three hours, she has already hunted three hares and two pheasants, and picked a bunch of wild fruits.
When she got home, she saw Lu Ping sitting under a big tree, the ground around him was wet with dew, and only Lu Ping was beside him, as if he had been sunburned.
Yueying looked at it curiously, no, Lu Ping opened his eyes and said, "I'm back, Xiao Yueying." ”
Yueying was taken aback: "Brother Lu, how do you know that I went out?"
"You happened to pass me as you entered the mountain. ”
"Ahh ”
"You didn't take the medicine I gave you, did you?" asked Lu Ping.
Yueying nodded.
"Why don't you eat it?"
"I think the medicine is too precious, and I don't want to take it. ”
"Medicines will expire, and if you don't take them quickly, they will be bad. ”
Yueying didn't know that Lu Ping was joking, so she was so frightened that she hurriedly said, "Eat, eat, I'll eat in a while." ”
"Big brother, have you been sitting here all night?" asked Yueying again, because she got up early and knew that she would go out, unless she got up earlier or was here all night.
Lu Ping nodded.
Yueying showed a surprised look: "Brother Lu, don't you have to sleep? Also, the humidity in the mountains is very heavy, why aren't you wet at all? Look at me, it's like rain." Yueying said and grabbed her hair, and the dew was dripping down.
Lu Ping smiled and asked, "Are you interested?"
"Well, Brother Lu. ”
"Well, if you can master the art of breathing before I leave here, I'll teach you the art of breathing. ”
Yueying nodded happily, carrying the loot in her hand, and happily jumped to roast rabbits for everyone.
I don't know if it's the smell of roasted rabbits or the warm sun, Grandma Yueying, who has been in a coma for a long time, woke up, and she was in good spirits, and she could even sit up on her own.
When she knew that her benefactors were coming again, she couldn't close her mouth excitedly, asking Yueying to do this for a while, and letting her do that for a while.
Yueying was also obedient, seeing that her grandmother was in good shape, she still carried her grandmother to the yard to bask in the sun, while she was busy inside and out, although she was already tired and sweating, she was very happy.
However, Lu Ping and the others knew that this was the old man's return to the light, and maybe tonight, the old man would leave Yueying forever.
"Yuan Shen Doctor, I'm dying, I can see you before I leave, I'm just over there, and my heart is steady." ”
In the courtyard, Grandma Yueying and Yuan Tong sat together, chatting about topics that only people of this age would say.
"Don't worry about Yueying, old sister. Yuan Tong said.
"Yes, Yuan Shen Doctor, can the old lady beg you, take my granddaughter away, and be a maid for you, it's better than her living alone in the mountains, I, I, I don't bear it." As she spoke, Grandma Yueying wiped away her tears, and her already shriveled body trembled, as if it would break at any moment.
"Don't worry, old sister, Yueying, this child is clever and kind, I will take her with me like my own granddaughter. ”
"Okay, okay, then I'll thank you!" Grandma Yueying said that she was about to turn over and kowtow to Yuantong, but her body was too weak, and she fell into the chair after a few movements, and she didn't know whether she was grateful or reluctant to Yueying, so she sobbed and cried again.
At noon, everyone gathered around to eat a lively game meal, which was naturally Yueying's craft, and in the afternoon, as everyone expected, the old man left.
Although Yueying had been mentally prepared for a long time, she still couldn't suppress the grief in her heart.
The little girl cried alone on her grandmother for a long time, and the people in the village also came over after knowing about it, and helped bury Grandma Yueying together.
"Yueying, do you want to go with grandpa?" Yuantong came to Yueying's grandmother's grave, sat with Yueying, and said kindly.
Yueying, who had just calmed down a little, cried bitterly again, and threw herself into Yuantong's arms, like a little milk dog that had lost its mother, only choking helplessly.
Yuan Tong lovingly touched Yueying's head and stared at the deep darkness of the mountain.
The next morning, Yueying still got up very early, but she didn't go into the mountain today, but cleaned up her home, which was so simple that it couldn't be more simple, and found that there was nothing to take away except for a bow, an arrow, and an ornament that her grandmother had worn with her for decades, and the rope had been blackened.
Outside the house, Lu Ping and Yuan Tong were already waiting there, according to the plan, only Yuan Tong and Lu Ping were entering the mountain this time, and the guide was Yueying. And Yuanmao, just like last time, will always wait in the village, if they don't come back after 10 days, Yuanmao will leave here as if Yuantong is dead.
However, just as the three of them were about to enter the mountain, the village chief suddenly ran over, and his face was very ugly.
"Doctor Yuanshen, I'm afraid I have to tell you something. ”
Yuan Tong saw that the village chief seemed to have something to do, so he said, "Say it, village chief." ”
The village chief looked at Yueying, then at Yuantong, and said: "Actually, a few days before you came, five young people came from outside the village, and we didn't know what they were doing. So the young men went into the mountains alone and played for a few days in the vicinity of the village. Yesterday, I heard that Yueying's grandmother had passed away, so I suddenly said that I wanted to find Yueying and enter the mountain again. That's ...... to you."
Yuan Tong looked at Yueying, Yueying nodded and did not deny it, and understood in his heart, it seemed that he had embarrassed the village chief.
"Village chief, what about the young people?"
"They're rushing here, those people aren't like ordinary people, they are probably the children of rich and powerful families, and they all have guns in their hands. ”
Yuan Tong frowned slightly, how many years has the country strictly banned guns, and those who dare to go into the mountains to hunt with guns show that these people do have a background.
However, Yuan Tong was not worried about these, but Lu Ping.
Since they came, no one had seen Lu Ping speak, thinking that he was just a junior from the Divine Doctor family, and he had come out to practice this time, so they didn't care.
I saw Yuan Tong walk up to Lu Ping and ask in a slightly respectful whisper, "Mr. Lu, what do you think of this?"
Lu Ping remained silent, and only said four words: "Let's see." ”
