Chapter 20: Familiar Places

Standing at the edge of the woods, Meng Ge took Meng Mao's little hand and felt the slightly cool temperature on Meng Mao's hand. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Late autumn is approaching, and the trees in the woods that should have lost their leaves are almost all gone. In the forest, the withered grass is trying to enjoy the last vestiges of greenery, wandering in the sunlight shining among the shadows of the trees.

Yu Yang was so excited that he couldn't help himself, so he grabbed a handful of mountain flowers, handed them to Meng Ge excitedly, and said, "Sister Ge'er, we have finally found the light." ”

Meng Ge took the handful of mountain flowers with a smile, looked at the little flowers that were about to wither, lying quietly in his hands, and couldn't help but sigh that time passed like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, two years have passed. When she ran here with these two little puddings two years ago, they never imagined that they would be lost in the mountains for so long.

"Yu Yang, don't be excited. Don't forget, there's a bandit's den over there. If you don't want to hide in the mountains for another two years, just shut up for me. Looking at Yu Yang, who wanted to open his mouth and shout, Meng Ge hurriedly stopped him.

It's been two years, and no one knows if those bandits have given up chasing them. What's more, two years is enough time for the surviving bandits to recruit troops and expand the cottage.

"I'm sorry, Sister Ge'er, I forgot about it as soon as I was happy. So what should we do next?" was poured a basin of cold water on Meng Ge's head, Yu Yang asked with his head drooping.

Meng Ge took a deep breath, looked at the tree-lined mountain road, and said, "Let's go and pull down the shelf first, we can't lose any of those things." Those are the guys who will make a living in the future. ”

When you get out of the mountain, you have to spend money as long as you move your legs. However, they didn't have half a copper plate on them, so they had to survive by selling those fur herbs and something.

After finding a place to settle down, they will buy some land and continue farming, fishing and hunting.

As for those who have passed away, find a good day to move the tombs and bury them in their place of residence, and everything will be fine.

When his life is more stable, he will find a doctor for Meng Mao and cure his heart disease. Accumulate some more family property and get Meng Jin back. At that time, it was the time when Meng Ge fulfilled the last wish of Meng Lang and his wife.

Obviously, Meng Mao was very much in favor of Meng Ge's proposal to go back to the mountains first. Before Yu Yang could express his opinion, Meng Mao let go of Meng Ge's hand and ran towards the place where they had placed the big shelf.

In the evening, the three of them discussed the next trip under a protruding boulder on the mountain beam.

"Ming'er, let's pull the big shelf out of the forest first. If there's no movement down the mountain, let's go back to the little cave we used to live in. If you encounter bandits, you two just run into the woods. Remember, if we get separated, we will meet in that hot spring cave. Do you two understand?" Meng Ge took the twig and gathered out the topographical map that he had memorized in his mind bit by bit.

Yu Yang always replied with the fastest reaction: "Hey, just according to what Sister Ge'er said." Sister Ge'er, don't worry, I will definitely take care of Xiao Mao'er. ”

Meng Ge nodded vigorously on the side, and stood up and ran a few steps, jumped a few times, and told Meng Ge that he was very good at running.

After explaining the precautions, Meng Ge talked about his next plan: "If there are no bandits under the mountain, let's live in that cave first." In a few days, it will be the sacrifice day of our father's and mother's relatives, let's go to worship them first, and then go down the mountain. ”

Caught off guard, Meng Ge said a word to worship his relatives, Meng Mao and Yu Yang were silent, and sat next to Meng Ge without moving.

Meng Ge looked at the two boys with red eyes, and he also got sour.

Even though they were worn out in the deep mountains and forgot their heartache and longing, none of the three of them forgot their deceased relatives.

It was the pain of blood connection, and in this life, they could not get rid of the harm caused to them by their relatives.

Of course, it was those monsters and bandits who hurt them. However, no matter who hurt them, they will always be sad and remorse for the persecution suffered by their relatives.

Just when the three of them were immersed in grief, a beast roar suddenly came from deep in the mountains.

The big cat's howling made the three of them smile expectantly.

"Sister Ge'er, it's a little leopard, it must be a little leopard who followed our scent to find it. Yu Yang's little face was a little excited, and he stood up and listened to the screaming that was still continuing.

Meng Mao was even more direct, he had already climbed the mountain rock, intending to stand on a high place to welcome the arrival of the big cat.

However, the results were disappointing. The three of them waited until the second half of the night, and the big cat that had barked a few times did not find them.

"Sister Ge'er, do you think the little leopard really can't find us?" Yu Yang sat down in the quilt pile by the fire in disappointment and said dejectedly.

Meng Mao was not much better than Yu Yang, and he also drooped his head and leaned towards Meng Ge's side.

Meng Ge stretched out his hand and rubbed Meng Mao's head, and said, "The little leopard is a beast in the mountains, and it should live without concern in the mountains." Now, it hasn't come to us, and we should be happy for it. It's finding its way of life. ”

The little leopard is the one that the female leopard entrusted to them in the first place. Originally, wild beasts were supposed to be wild. Even if you live with people, your animal nature will not diminish much.

Therefore, when the little leopard began to show its animal nature, Meng Ge consciously took it everywhere to forage for food, and learned to forage for food himself.

Also, since the little leopards began to shed their fur and grow gray fur with black spots, Mongo no longer let the little leopards follow them.

At that time, the little leopard was already a big leopard. Of course, at first, the little leopards were always around Menggo.

But later, after the little leopard came into contact with many wild beasts, it rarely appeared around Mengor and them.

The last time I saw a baby leopard, it seemed like it was half a year ago. At that time, the little leopard came back with a bite mark on its body and a jackal in its mouth.

Looking at the broken jackal with its neck bitten, Meng Ge believed that the little leopard must have been attacked by the jackals after hunting its prey.

The little leopard stayed with them for two nights, and on the third night walked away with a freshly scabbed scar.

Of course, after that, they can occasionally hear the leopard cub barking near them, but it doesn't reappear.

It is precisely because of this that Yu Yang and Meng Mao are especially looking forward to the little leopard coming over.

However, Meng Ge knew that the little leopard was so wild that it would never revolve around them again. Leopards as adults are all lone rangers.

No matter how entangled and disappointed Yu Yang and Meng Mao were, the little leopard never appeared. But the next day, the sun still shone on the earth and warmed everything.

Meng Ge woke up to the sound of birdsong and felt a lot more refreshed. Maybe it's because I'm back in a familiar place.

"Get up soon, little lazy bugs, the late birds will be left without bugs. Meng Ge shook the two little ones, who were still asleep, and teased.

Meng Mao smiled shyly as always, and put on his clothes by himself.

Yu Yang hugged his head and wailed: "I really want to sleep with him for ten days and eight days, and I can sleep enough." ”

Meng Ge ignored the two children who didn't get enough sleep, and while putting breakfast aside to dry, he packed up his things and prepared to set off.
