"Why are you coming back?"

Qingling glanced behind Xiao Jin, but didn't see the three Xiao Ban brothers. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao Jin swept the bundle of snake-tired grass piled up in the corner of the hall, and gave Qingling a particularly disdainful look. Just because it's not afraid of these smells doesn't mean that the snake brothers are also unaffected.

Qingling stuck out her tongue, knowing that Xiaoban was temporarily back to the mountain, so she no longer worried, took a pu fan to drive away the smell in the room, blew out the oil lamp, and lay down on the bed.

Nothing was said all night.

Before dawn the next day, Qingling got up.

The man said that he wanted to accompany her up the mountain, and it was true that there were many people and laborers, but it also meant that he couldn't go to the small world he had discovered yesterday.

After thinking about it, Qingling finally decided to avoid him and go up the mountain early.

So, I didn't make breakfast, anyway, there were rice noodles and pickled vegetables in the cave, and it was nothing more than two hours late to start eating.

Breakfast time was saved, and Qingling had not yet arrived at five o'clock when she went out, a crescent moon hung shallowly in the western sky, and the villagers who had not finished their farming were still asleep.

Carrying a rattan basket and a basket, Qingling walked easily towards the mountain pass, and deliberately bypassed the village road in front of Grandma Zhang's house. Who knows, it's still missing-

Just by the embankment at the end of the village and about to reach the foot of the mountain, the man who was waiting for her with his arms crossed his chest and raised his eyebrows was not Xiang Gang, who else would there be?

When Xiang Gang saw her, the corners of his mouth hooked, as if to say: Look, I know that you are going to go up the mountain secretly.

Qingling was so embarrassed that she really wanted to find a hole to get into.

What a hiding, whatever!

"Have you had breakfast?"

“…… Not. ”

"Well, this is the rice ball that Grandma Zhang made early in the morning, you eat it first. The man lifted a small cloth bag from the bamboo basket at his feet, and in it lay two pickled rice balls that were still steaming. One of them handed it to Qingling, and at the same time took the basket and rattan basket in Qingling's hand, threw it into another bamboo basket, and then walked forward with an easy step with a bamboo basket in each hand.

He had already gone up the mountain, but not on this hill, but on a small grave at the back of the village, where people in the village were buried when they died, and almost the entire hill was a grave, so no one usually went.

I first swept the graves of my grandfather, my father, and the uncle next door who was like a relative, and told them that he had returned, and that he had come back to see them after seven years away from the village, and that he would forgive him for his unfilial piety, and that he would come back to see them after many years, but that he would be able to come back once a year without any accidents.

Then he went to the tomb of Jianjun's uncle, put on three incense sticks, and bowed three times. Rest assured that he will take care of her like a relative until she is married......

Speaking of getting married, Xiang Gang couldn't help but have a picture in his mind: as a relative of the woman, he carried the bride on the ox cart and handed her over to the man who would accompany her throughout the journey in this life...... That picture, how uncomfortable to watch.

It must have been because I slept too little last night.

Qingling pinched the rice balls and hurriedly followed him.

By the time Xiang Gang realized that his pace was too fast, causing the girl behind him to trot and couldn't keep up, there was already a distance of more than 20 meters between them, so he stopped and waited for her.

When she approached, she saw that the rice ball in her hand was still whole, and she raised her eyebrows: "Don't like to eat?"

This was pinched by him, and Grandma Zhang let her sleep after cooking, and he did the rest of the work.

Qingling panted and shook her head: "I don't like it, it's just ......" I felt weird and embarrassed.

She deliberately avoided him, but he waited for her as he said, and brought breakfast intimately...... Stop! The intimate one is obviously Grandma Zhang, he is just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.

A low laugh was heard in the ears of the man.

"Let's go, eat while walking, it won't taste good when it's cold. I'm going to go slower now. ”

Qingling glared at his generous back, took a bite of the warm rice ball, and stopped thinking nonsense.

"You're usually in the cave?" walked quietly for a while, breaking the silence with a deep voice.

Qingling hurriedly swallowed the rice balls in her mouth, pondered for a while, and whispered: "Well, there is a bamboo forest near the cave, and the tender bamboo shoots are very delicious." After thinking about it, he patted his chest again and said, "Yesterday was an exception, I chased a hare, and unknowingly entered the belly of the mountain." I didn't expect to be lucky, not only did I not meet a wolf, but I also picked a lot of herbs, hehehe......"

It's not funny at all. Qingling was desperate in her heart.

Xiang Gang turned his head and glanced at her with a smile, not knowing whether to believe her words or not.

Qingling has no bottom in her heart. But today I made up my mind not to let Xiao Jin exert coercion. She has seen the man's keen five senses, and if he finds out about Xiaojin's existence or an abnormality in the forest, he may suspect her.

It's just that although Xiao Jin didn't exert coercion as soon as he went up the mountain as usual, because he went in and out of this mountain forest almost every day for half a month, the forest was already full of its breath.

Except for birds, pheasants and other birds, most animals have automatically and spontaneously evacuated the area.

Like a puppy peeing to mark the territory, the mountain seems to have become the territory of Xiaojin, and other beasts only dare to move on the edge. Even if Xiao Jin is not there, no fierce beast will come to the vicinity of the cave in a short time.

Therefore, the journey went surprisingly smoothly, and Xiang Gang became suspicious: Could it be that the villagers, including the old doctor, had misunderstood? In fact, there were no ferocious wolves in the mountains, at most some herbivores?

Seven years ago, I really didn't hear of wolves, but there were definitely wild boars, and there were often villagers at the foot of the mountain who besieged wild boars with iron rakes, and some people were injured by wild boars.

He also listened to the old doctor about the existence of wolves, and it is said that he had bitten people to death, and on the night of the full moon, he could hear a clear wolf howl, which showed that the village was not far away, and gradually, no one dared to go into the depths of the forest.

This girl knew that she dared to run into the mountains, and Xiang Gang couldn't help but ask: "There are rumors in the village that there are wolves in the mountains, are you not afraid?" Not only was she not afraid, but she was also full of interest all the way, as if this was her back garden.

How could Qingling tell the truth, so she had to pretend to be confused: "This doesn't hurt my arm and I can't grow vegetables, and the rations are limited, so I can't sit and eat empty." It's embarrassing to rub Grandpa Zhang's house. ”

Xiang Gang glanced at her, and said in his heart that he didn't see it. Her comfortable appearance when eating at Zhang's house didn't look like she was rubbing rice at all.

"Ahh

Entering the area that the villagers usually dare not set foot in, and without the coercion of Xiaojin, the pheasants and hares gradually increased.

Qingling saw a long-haired gray rabbit sneaking out of the bushes at her feet, quickly ducking into the grass not far from the bamboo forest, and screamed in surprise. Of course, it's more about changing the subject.

Xiang Gang raised his eyes, and really saw a cluster of gray moving rapidly among the grass, and a smile appeared in his eyes: This girl, how persistent she is to rabbits.
