By evening, the whole valley had fallen silent, the setting sun was like a bloodshot glow, and a bright moon had risen on one side of the blood-stained sky.

But it was still this daytime, and the crimson sun had slowly fallen from the heavy valley, dyeing the mountains and trees all over the mountains and forests into red.

The long wind blew, and the sound of falling leaves sounded between the trees, and the branches shook more diligently, and the wind blew in their backs.

And in the middle of the woods, there was a young man lying down, and a few birds were chirping by, but the boy did not make any sound, as if he were asleep.

It wasn't until the evening that the young man slowly opened his eyes, and he looked at everything around him blankly, trying to remember something, but he couldn't think of anything.

He felt like his mind was blank, as if all his memories had been drained.

The young man stood up gently, came to the river step by step, drank the river water greedily, and slapped the river water on his face from time to time, trying to sober himself up.

But in spite of this, his mind was blank, as if the world had never left him anything, and after drinking too much, the boy stood up and looked into the distance.

I was in the middle of a valley at this time, and the scenery of this valley was so unreal, it felt like I was in a fantasy world.

The boy touched his hungry belly, he was already hungry at the moment, but there was nothing to fill his stomach in this valley.

So the boy tentatively walked towards the end of the forest, hoping to find something to satisfy his hunger there, and between a stone cliff, the boy found a new water margin.

The smell of fresh barbecue came from inside, and the boy was overjoyed, and he ran all the way to the stone cliff, and in the laboratory, he found a child dressed in tatters.

Her eyes and cheeks were covered with long hair, so that the boy could not tell whether she was male or female, dressed in tattered gray clothes, with a pair of straw sandals on her feet, and even her arms and legs were dirty.

At this moment, the child was concentrating on roasting a pheasant on the fire, but the chicken seemed to be roasted, but the child did not know it.

Next to it were a few dead chickens, all of which seemed to be her prey.

The boy couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he smelled the fragrant smell, and his legs seemed to be disobedient, and he came to the opposite side of the child.

As soon as the child saw the boy in front of him, he immediately became vigilant, and the child bared his teeth at the boy, and then made a defensive posture.

The young man waved his hand again and again, looking at the child in front of him with a friendly face, "Don't be afraid, I have no malice, I'm just a little hungry, and I saw that you have fragrant meat to eat here, so I couldn't help but come over." ”

However, the child did not answer, and still looked fierce, hiding everything in his hand behind him.

The boy continued, "You are so good that you can roast all the meat, why don't I teach you." ”

As he spoke, the boy found a suitable wooden stick beside him, picked up a chicken next to him, handled it briefly, and roasted it on the grill.

The boy kept spinning in circles while drinking the roast, so that each side of the chicken could get full firepower, and after a while, a fragrant smell came from inside.

The child looked at the roast chicken in the boy's hand in surprise, and pursed his mouth, the boy knew that the child preferred the roast chicken in his hand, so he handed it to the child without hesitation.

The child obviously hesitated, but under the temptation of this fragrance, he still took the roast chicken, and the child opened wide, and his mouth was about to bite down, but then he looked up at the young man in front of him.

So the boy vigorously broke off a chicken leg, handed it to the young man in front of him, and then gnawed it down, and after a while, the whole chicken was only a bone.

The young man took the chicken leg in his hand, looking at all this in disbelief, the speed of eating chicken is really unparalleled, no wonder she has to prepare so many chickens, it turns out that she eats a lot.

The boy just took two bites of chicken legs, but he didn't expect the child to touch a chicken from the ground and give it to the boy, and the boy naturally understood what she meant.

After a while, the chickens were all roasted and in the stomachs of the two men, and the boy felt very tired all over his body, and leaned against the stones, and fell asleep.

By the time I woke up in front, it was already the next morning, and the child on the other side had already disappeared without a trace.

The child carried the last fragrant chicken and walked through the woods to a small thatched hut by the river, where an old man sat at the door.

When he saw the child coming back, he hurriedly reproached and said, "Where did you go to the wilderness again? I didn't know how to come back all night, and my grandmother was about to die of worry." ”

The child burst into a big smile, handed the roast chicken he was holding in his hand to the old man's hand, and then said two words hoarsely in his throat, "Roast chicken!"

The old man looked at the roast chicken and said with some anxiety, "Where did you get this chicken? No matter how poor we are, we can't take other people's things." ”

The child still had a smiling face, he quickly shook his head, and looked at the old man with wide eyes, "No, I picked it up in the woods." ”

The girl's voice was hoarse, and even her speech and language organization were somewhat impaired, as if she had been wounded to her throat, but this did not prevent her from conversing with the old man.

"Hahaha, okay, grandma believes you, grandma has already boiled millet porridge, let's hurry up and go in for breakfast." The old man stroked the child in front of him with relief.

But the boy shook his head, pointed to the pots of flowers on the windowsill, and said, "No! ”

As he spoke, the child scooped a spoonful of water from the bucket that had just been drawn from the well, and carefully watered the pots of flowers on the windowsill.

The man saw that the child was so hardworking, and smiled with satisfaction, "You, you can't rest assured for a moment of those pots of flowers." Hurry up, come back and eat after pouring it. The old man said with a smile.

The people nearby turned around and walked into the house, took out the pot, and the steamed buns and porridge that had just been heated were placed on the table, but at this time, there was a noise from outside.

A villager came in from outside with an axe and a hoe, and they couldn't stop shouting, "Hand over Aman." ”

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly walked from the house, but his legs and feet were not very good, and even if he was on crutches, he could not walk fast.

"What's the matter? What's the trouble with our family?" the old man said as he looked at the villagers, not only blaming himself.

"Our family is still young, if she does something wrong? I'm here to apologize to you. ”

"Apologize? Do you think that apologizing will solve the problem? He dragged so many of us and worked hard to raise chickens for a year, can you finish the matter with one apology?"

One of the middle-aged men said angrily, saying that he was about to rush into the room with an axe and get us out. At this time, he and the village chief hurriedly stopped the man.

"The matter hasn't been clarified yet, why are you so impulsive, or call Aman out, let's ask in person to see if these chickens were stolen by him. ”

As soon as they saw such a big battle, they hurriedly hid behind the old man, who took Ah Man in his arms and said to these villagers, "I believe Ah Man, she won't steal other people's things, you must be mistaken." ”

"Hmph, do you believe us. A middle-aged aunt said as she took out a strand of cloth from her pocket, and the color and style of this untouched were exactly the same as what Ah Man was wearing.

"This strip of cloth was found on the fence of my chicken pen, it's not her, who else can there be, I said auntie, don't protect her.

He won't be a child you picked up by the river, so why should you trust him so much, because she's against our whole village. The woman swore an oath.

The villagers on the side also began to heckle, shouting loudly, "Hand over Aman, hand over Aman." ”

As soon as the woman said this, the old man instantly remembered the roast chicken that Aman brought back today, and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, no, what these villagers said was true.

So the old man turned his head and looked straight at Ah Man, "You tell grandma the truth, did you do this?"

Ah Man shook his head and squeezed a few words out of his throat, "I didn't steal it." ”

The old man looked at the coaxing villagers and said loudly, "Aman said, this chicken was not stolen by her, I believe Aman, as for the losses of the villagers, I will compensate."

During this time, Aman has caused you a lot of trouble, and I apologize to you. As he spoke, the old man took out an ancient jade of good color from his bosom.

"This is our family's ancestral treasure, it should be worth a few dollars, so let's take it as a point. ”

After the village chief saw this jade pendant, his face changed in an instant, and he couldn't bear to say to the old man, "This is your treasured treasure, and you took it out like this for this child?"

Then suddenly a middle-aged man came out of the group, he snatched the jade pendant in the old man's hand, and looked at the sun to see the color of the jade pendant.

The old man sighed, "No matter what, Ah Man is my granddaughter, and everything she should do for her is right." The old man said as he stroked Aman's hair.

"In that case, then we won't pursue it. The middle-aged man took the jade pendant and said with a smile.

"But you still have to take care of your granddaughter, and don't let her go out and make trouble. ”

At this time, the child next to the middle-aged man also poked his head out and said to Aman, "That's it, no one wants the child who picked it up." ”

When Ah Man heard this, he was instantly annoyed, his eyes widened, and he looked at the child with his teeth bared, and the child saw Ah Man's appearance, and instantly retracted his head again.

At this time, the old man shouted sternly, "Aman." Ah Man looked at the old man with an aggrieved face, and finally retreated and stood aside with his head down.

The matter was settled in this way, and the villagers didn't want to say anything more, so they told the villagers to hurry back to work, and this group of people was about to leave.

A fat man came from behind, surrounding all these villagers, and the bandits were all holding machetes, looking very fierce.

In fact, the bandit at the head had a huge knife mark on one eye, which made his entire face look hideous.

These villagers were all driven back into the courtyard by the bandits, and they looked at the bandits with a frightened face, wondering what these bandits wanted to do.

Although the village chief was also very scared, after all, he was the manager of the village, so he walked in front of the mountain bandit boss tremblingly and asked respectfully.

"Boss, we pay our protection money on time every year. It hasn't been a year, so why did you suddenly come here today?" said the village chief tremblingly.

Seeing that the boss of the mountain bandit snorted lightly, the village chief was so frightened that he almost couldn't stand and fell to the ground.

The group of villagers who were menacing just now have become cowards, hiding behind and not daring to come out.
