Outside the small cave, the golden sunset sun smeared the loess cliff with a brilliant color.

The figure of an old man supported a tall and thin young body, and the young man supported a pair of wooden crutches under his ribs, and with the help of external force, he learned to step half a step and half a step like a toddler, and walked out of the cave little by little.

Behind him was followed by Ling'er, who was jumping up and down with a happy face, and Ling'er was holding the little dog Ah Tao in her arms.

"Grandpa, grandpa, the eldest brother can walk, does it mean that his broken leg has been healed? This is the bone that I picked up for him alone, and the eldest brother has to thank me again. Ling'er ran around in front of and behind her, clapping her hands and shouting.

"Go, go, go, and mess around again! You almost crippled your eldest brother, you know? What a fluke, if this kid misses a mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable—" The old man sighed loudly, but the expression was grinning, after all, the little grandson's nonsense did not have terrible consequences, but on the contrary, it was crooked, and achieved an unexpectedly good result.

Bai Ziqi raised his head to look at the sunset, and suddenly those bright lights spread out his face and shot into his eyes.

His eyes were suddenly blind, and he stood stunned for a moment.

Shaking his head, when he opened his eyes again, the pair of beautiful eyes were full of tears, the tears were shining brightly, he bowed his head a little shyly to avoid being seen, but he sighed in his heart, to see this full sunset again, to escape from death, it is really extremely lucky, I don't know how the distant relatives are anxious and worried about themselves?

A piece of burlap was quietly handed to his eyes, and a pair of round eyes on a round face looked at him, "Big brother, don't cry, wipe your tears - you have to have confidence in my bone grafting, look at you can learn to walk so quickly, you see that Tao is not as good as you, it can't run or jump." As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted Tao's back.

Ah Tao looked pampered, squinting his eyes and happy.

Bai Ziqi couldn't help laughing, and compared me to a dog again-

He poured the tears in his eyes back into the depths of his eyes and nodded, "Yes, I have to thank Ling'er, and also thank grandpa, you saved me and helped me recover." I will never forget this kind of life-saving kindness for the rest of my life. ”

The voice suddenly choked.

Grandpa smiled, "Look at you kid, what kind of kindness and affection, isn't that just a thing that happened to be done on the way, it is your life that is great, if I didn't happen to go into the valley that night to collect medicine, I wouldn't have met you." ”

Ling'er looked at Bai Ziqi's crutches, and suddenly grinned, "Big brother, the pair of wooden crutches you made for yourself looks good, and also help my Ah Tao make a pair, I asked Ah Tao to walk with them." ”

This pair of wooden crutches was made by Bai Ziqi when he was just able to sit up, he slowly cut the wood, and the appearance is naturally simple and ugly, but it is sturdy and can be used improvised.

Grandpa waved his hand and scolded Ling'er to go away and not make trouble.

But Ling'er was dead-eyed, and when she thought of this idea, she was entangled, followed by Bai Ziqi muttering and pleading.

Grandpa helped Bai Ziqi to sit on the big stone outside the door, and the two of them looked at the sunset in the distance and the burning clouds in the sky.

"In this life, it's like the big sun overhead, and it turns around in a lifetime inadvertently - Ling'er is a newborn little sun, and you are just like the rising sun-"

"What is that grandpa?" asked Ling'er with a tilt of her head.

This kid is curious about everything.

"Grandpa, do you see the sun that is about to set in the west, grandpa is it. Although the old man's voice was steady and steady, Bai Ziqi also heard a trace of nostalgia and sigh from it.

"Oh, that's grandpa? Isn't that the sun father-in-law who is crying with red eyes?

This naughty and childish language made everyone laugh.

Grandpa raised his hand and pointed to the distance, his gaze was far away, reaching the sky, "Young Master Bai, look at it, the entire stretch of mountains in front of us belongs to the remnants of Jiumao Mountain, the end of this Jiumao Mountain, the place where the terrain is flat, belongs to the range of the barren river, and that is the boundary of Liangzhou." ”

Bai Ziqi thought about it and didn't understand: "I obviously remember that I walked on the official road from Liangzhou to Lingzhou, and that piece did not have a boundary with Jiumao Mountain, why did I suddenly run to Jiumao Mountain?"

The old man smiled," The place where you had an accident is indeed far away from Jiumao Mountain, but as long as you go along the valley in front of us, you will eventually lead to the official road of Lingzhou Mansion, the official road is built in a flat place, avoiding the deep valley of the fracture, the valley stretches high and deep, it is deserted and difficult to walk, there are often wild beasts between the jungle and wild grasses, and ordinary people dare not walk around here at all, I am familiar with the environment because of the perennial concealment here, so I have been walking along the valley floor, taking a shortcut that only my grandparents and grandchildren know, so you can rest assured that the people who hurt you here just want to break their heads and break the sky, and they will not think that you will hide here。 ”

Bai Ziqi was stupid for a moment, he was extremely afraid when he thought of the scene that night, every time he thought of it, he couldn't help but be faintly worried, afraid that those people would search nearby, and finally maybe find out where he was hiding, listening to the old man say this, he knew that he had stayed away from the wreck site and hid in this relatively hidden wilderness, and it was estimated that it was indeed safe at present.

He breathed a sigh of relief, then rest assured to recuperate, and it is naturally easy to say that his health is better.

However, Bai Ziqi looked at the old and young in front of him, and felt curious, "Grandpa, since this Jiumao Mountain is so remote, why do you want to live here? Ling'er is so young, and you are old, so you are not afraid of wild beasts hurting people, don't you feel lonely?"

Without waiting for grandpa to answer, Ling'er's eyes widened, "We're not afraid of wild beasts-big brother, you don't know, Ling'er and many beasts in the mountains are good friends, Ling'er has healed their bones, and Ling'er's good ability to connect bones with bones is all practiced from them--anyway, they are not afraid of death and pain like big brothers-"

The little guy criticizes people so bluntly.

Bai Ziqi couldn't help but burn his face.

I am really afraid of pain, and most importantly, I am afraid of death, so if Ling'er hadn't stupidly drunk herself with that excessive dose of anesthetic, she would definitely not cooperate with Ling'er for bone surgery.

Bai Ziqi waited for his grandfather to answer his question.

Think about it, everyone is curious, an old man with a young and ignorant child, two people hidden in this mountain stretching for hundreds of miles, far away from the world, living alone, why is this? With grandpa's medical skills, you can make a living in any market or town under the mountain.

Grandpa didn't answer, he kept looking at the big sunset from afar, with a fascinated face, as if there was something in the distance where the sunset set made him deeply concerned and missed.

Bai Ziqi was silent for a while, this old man is definitely not simple, there is obviously something important to hide from himself.

It's just that he doesn't say it, and it's not easy for him to ask.

When she returned to the house, under the oil lamp, Ling'er had already found a lot of wood, long and short, wide and narrow, and found axes, shovels, and small saws, "Brother, brother, you can help me make a crutch, according to your own style, but Ah Tao's should be a little smaller." ”

Bai Ziqi couldn't bear to refuse, so she really picked up the wooden board to look at it, and compared with Ah Tao's size and the size of her claws, she wanted to make a pair of crutches for this patient who had been operated on at the same time as herself.

Grandpa scolded a few times, seeing that the child was really not naughty, he smiled bitterly and didn't care, he was busy sorting out and grinding the medicinal materials collected during the day, and continued to configure new wound medicine for Bai Ziqi.
