It seems to be an undeveloped mountain range, and the wooden houses are built on the top of a lush mountain, next to the cliffs, standing on the edge of the cliffs, the mountains are undulating, and you don't know where they are.

"Where is this?" Xin Pet turned around and asked Bai Tingnian, and laughed at himself again: "You confiscated all the electronic devices on my body, I know that I can't pass on the news." And this mountain is so vast that I can't stand on the mountain and shout for help, it's really shouting that no one will save me. ”

Bai Tingnian was amused by her, and she laughed breathlessly, and finally stopped laughing, gave her a haircut that was blown by the wind and said, "The locals call this mountain Cuiding Mountain." When it snows heavily in winter, no matter how thick the snow is under the mountain, the mountain is still verdant and there is no snow at all, which is very magical. ”

Cuiding Mountain?Xin Pet silently recited this name, no matter how she heard it, it felt unfamiliar, she was also well-informed, but she really never stopped this name.

Annoyedly, he lifted the stones on the ground, and the stones rolled over the cliff, as if falling into the void, silent. She took two steps back with some fear, and her back hit Bai Tingnian's body.

Bai Tingnian held her and asked softly, "If you're afraid, I'll call someone to repair a railing tomorrow." ”

"Where can you call people in these barren mountains and mountains?" Xin Pet looked around, no matter how he looked like a human being, and then there were all the necessities of life in the hut, how did he carry them?

"You don't have to worry about it. Bai Tingnian smiled and put his arm around her shoulders, "It's windy, go back." Wait for the fence to be repaired, and then you come out to play. ”

Xin Pet did not argue with him, and obediently returned to the wooden house and had a quiet dinner with him.

The next day, before she got up, she heard the sound of people outside, got up and went out, and saw two women with five or six and a half children repairing the fence, which was made of wood, and the surface of the wood was very smooth, and it could be seen that the man who made the fence was very good.

The two women seemed a little shy when they saw Xin Pet, but the half-grown children felt novel, and surrounded her and asked questions:

"Are you the wife that the eldest brother brought back from the mountain?"

"The eldest brother said that you went to the same school as him, and your grades are better than him, which is really amazing, none of us have ever gone to college, not even high school, but the eldest brother said let's study hard, and he will provide for us to go to college in the future. ”

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, is the university in the city really as good as the big brother said? There are three cafeterias alone. ”

……

The boys didn't look big, but they were tall and strong, their faces and arms black and red from the mountain wind, and they grinned and showed their white teeth. Although they tried hard to speak Mandarin, but the accent was still very strong, a little difficult to understand, Xin Pet listened to it ignorantly, and just didn't know what to do, a black and fat boy timidly pulled the corner of her clothes, and asked timidly:

"Sister-in-law, if I go to college, can I find a smart and beautiful wife like you?"

The boys around him burst into laughter and scolded him:

"You're so fat, the girls in the city don't look down on you. ”

"That is, only a person as good-looking as his eldest brother can find a woman as good-looking as his sister-in-law. ”

"The toad wants to eat swan meat, hahahahaha. ”

The fat boy was not angry, scratched his head good-naturedly, and asked Xin Pet with perseverance: "Sister-in-law, although the eldest brother said that there is no need to worry about the tuition fees and let us study hard, but I heard that it costs a lot of money to go to college, and there are so many of us, can we really go to college?"

This time, Xin Pet actually understood, although she was not a sister-in-law, and she didn't know if Xiaobai had so much money, but she nodded in a ghostly manner, "Yes, I must be able to." He said not to worry, so he really didn't have to worry. ”

The fat boy laughed and nodded heavily, "I want to study hard, I want to go to college." ”

"If you want to go to university, you have to learn English well, and your English is not only incomprehensible to Chinese, but also to British." ”

A clear voice came from behind him, Xin Pet turned around, and saw Bai Tingnian holding a bouquet of mountain flowers, the mountain flowers were splendid, and he was even more bright and clean like the mountain and moon, and bright and beautiful like a clear spring.

Bai Tingnian held Xin Pet's waist in front of the group of children, and doted: "However, your sister-in-law is right, I said don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, don't have this ability, how can you be your eldest brother? Don't be lazy, go to work, I want to help my sister-in-law repair the fence today, she has never lived in the mountains, and she is afraid of the cliff." ”

"Okay. ”

The children scattered and ran happily to work. In front of the house, only Xin Pet and Bai Tingnian remained, Bai Tingnian kissed the top of her hair and handed her the flowers, the dew on the flowers was still there, and it looked like they had just been picked.

Xin Pet didn't take the flower, and glared at him with a cold face: "Who is your wife?"

"You. Bai Tingnian looked at her, with infinite tenderness in his eyes, "It's just you." ”

"You should go see a doctor, paranoia!" Xin Pet snatched the flower and still fell to the ground, stepped on two feet, and entered the house with a cold face.

Bai Tingnian followed in step by step and laughed, "I'm very mentally normal, and I plan to take you down the mountain for a walk, if you don't want to go, I can only go alone." ”

Xin Pet just sat down, heard him say this, and stood up with a bang, "I'll go." ”

Bai Tingnian took her down the steep mountain road, along the way there were strange rocks, trees and vines climbing wrong, and birds and beasts in her ears, as if she had entered another world, she only felt strange and looked around.

The so-called mountain road cannot be called a road at all, but it is just a place where it is often walked, and it is barely walkable with stones. Xin Pet stumbled and staggered, Bai Tingnian had been protecting her behind her, ensuring her safety, and walked for half an hour before finally coming to a relatively flat hillside.

Bai Tingnian pointed to a large stone and said, "The seven-colored pansy grows there." ”

Xin Pet couldn't wait to turn over the boulder, a sea of flowers came into view, and the seven-colored flowers were swaying in the wind, like a rainbow falling into the mortal world, which was beautiful.

She couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful." ”

Bai Tingnian also stood on the boulder with her, looking around, "The first time I came here, I also thought it was very beautiful." That's why I can't bear to bear the children who grew up here and let others spoil their lives. ”

Hearing him say this, Xin Pet was really curious, "Why do those children call you big brother?

"Then do you want to be my wife?" Bai Tingnian laughed, and when he saw that she was angry again, he became serious, "The drug trade in your area is particularly rampant, almost all men take drugs, and women and children are commodities that can be bought and sold at will." When I first came here, I was helping my sixth aunt take me on errands, and a few drug dealers tied up a few women and children with ropes and brought them in, and asked me if I would buy them, and I asked the price, guess what the price is?"

Xin Pet was already speechless in shock when he heard this, where did he dare to guess, Bai Tingnian smiled and continued: "A girl between the ages of thirteen and eighteen only needs eight thousand yuan, and a boy is cheaper, and four thousand yuan can buy an eight- or nine-year-old boy." I spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy those women and children. I heard those women say that they were all given to drug dealers by the drug-addicted men in the family to pay off their debts, and they lived like animals. ”

Xin Chong was filled with indignation, like an enraged pufferfish, glaring, "Is there still a royal law here?

Bai Tingnian looked at her and smiled softly, "There are always some places in this world that the sun can't shine on, and the darkness there can't be imagined at all." ”

Xin Pet lowered her head, gritted her teeth, and didn't speak, she had been a criminal lawyer, so naturally she was not so naïve, she had seen a lot of the darkness in this world, but maybe in Bai Tingnian's eyes, it was not worth mentioning at all.

"I let the people I bought, but they refused to leave, saying that even if they left, they would be arrested, and if they sold again, they didn't know who they could sell to, so they might as well follow me. I thought that this was not the way to go, so I simply took some people and went home with them, drove away the men and drug dealers who were addicted to drugs, and turned it into a territory for ghost beauties. Bai Tingnian said, "At least in this way, drug dealers will not dare to come in again, and these people will no longer have to be sold and can live a normal life." ”

"You're right...... Is this the place?" Xin Pet pointed to his feet, and then to the mountain, "Those children, you bought them?"

Bai Tingnian nodded, and hurriedly clarified: "I haven't let them do anything bad, and I haven't bullied them." ”

Truly. Looking at those children cheerful and lively, it doesn't look like they have been bullied.

Xin Pet looked at Bai Tingnian, and then looked at the mountain, the boys who were busy repairing the fence on the edge of the cliff were hidden in the trees, completely invisible, she was in a complicated mood, she didn't know how to describe it, and after a long time she said: "Xiaobai, you are a good person." Stop doing stupid things, and get lost. ”

Bai Tingnian sneered: "What do you mean to be lost? Just because I love you, the path I take is lost?"

"What you are doing is called kidnapping, it is a crime, you are a lawyer, don't you know?

"No!" Bai Tingnian's smile softened again, "I call this pursuit." Chase me until you promise me. ”

Xin Pet didn't bother to quarrel with him, gritted his teeth and turned away.

After walking a few steps, he saw Bai Tingnian following behind, and roared angrily, "Don't come with me, I'll pee." ”

Only then did Bai Tingnian stop and reminded her with a smile, "Don't go too far, it's dangerous in the mountains." ”

Xin Pet turned a deaf ear and walked straight into the dense forest.

Bai Tingnian stood alone on the boulder, and the mountain wind blew over, picking up his slightly long black hair, just like the gentle hands of his lover. He stood in the mountain wind and closed his eyes gently.

After a long time of not seeing Xin Pet come back, he opened his eyes and sighed softly.

A figure jumped down from a tree and approached him a few steps, and it was only recently apparent that the man was a thin black man, about forty years old, with bright eyes.

"Miss Xin ran away. ”

"Where did you go?"

"West Pass. ”

"It's the way down the mountain. Alas, I knew I couldn't let her out, she was too smart and cunning. ”

"Send someone to chase you?"

"No, although the direction is right, but this mountain is not so easy to go down, so she suffers a little. Bai Tingnian said and sighed again, "Let's send someone to follow, suffer hardships, don't really have anything wrong." She has a very strong temperament. ”

"Yes. ”

The thin black man said a few steps into the bushes and disappeared.

At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Xin Pet was dirty, stumbled back to the wooden house, and the first thing he did when he entered the door was to grab the kettle and pour it. After pouring water, he wiped the corners of his mouth, and then realized that his leg hurt, and when he lowered his head, under the moonlight, there was a bloody mark on the palm of his hand on the calf exposed in the torn pants.

She "hissed" in pain and inhaled the cold air, sat down on the bed in embarrassment, and turned on the lamp at the bedside.

The lights were on, and there were people sitting at the table, like a cold statue.

"Are you back?" Bai Tingnian said coldly, "How is this mountain?"

"Hell!" Xin Pet gritted his teeth viciously, the wound on his leg far less intense than the chagrin in his heart.

Bai Tingnian leaned over and held up the photo that had been holding it in his hand to her, "What did we say in the first place?"

The photo was taken in the downtown area, in front of a restaurant, in a speeding black car, a gun was aimed at Ye Shichao's forehead.

Xin Pet snatched the photo like crazy, tore it to pieces, ignored the wound on his leg, kicked and hit Bai Tingnian hysterically, screaming and crying: "You just kill me too! You madman!"

Bai Tingnian let her fight with a cold face, and when she was tired and had no strength, he gently hugged her and patted her head gently, "Don't make any more trouble, it's not good for you or me." ”

Xin Pet used his last strength to push him away, his eyes full of hatred: "Get out!"

"Good. Bai Tingnian didn't force her, retreated to the door step by step, and said softly: "I prepared medicine for you, it's at the head of the bed, you remember to disinfect the wound." As he spoke, he exited the door and closed it gently.

Xin Pet felt like a knife stirring in her heart, she couldn't feel the injury on her leg at all, she knelt on the ground, spelling the photo that was torn apart by her, she regretted why she tore it very much, there was someone she had been thinking about for a long time, even if she couldn't see it, it was good to just look at it.

While crying and fighting, he finally put him together, carefully picked up the photo, put it on the table, looked at it stupidly, only to feel that he seemed to be thin, and suddenly thought of the fragility when he grabbed his hand that night, and began to feel distressed again.

She just looked at his broken picture and lay on the table until her tiredness reached her limit and she fell asleep.
