Qinghe was a little skeptical about Erbai's explanation that day, what is it called "I don't understand, it's just that I don't have the strength in my body, and then I feel uncomfortable, I don't know that I did something bad to Qingqing", and then when I was about to take her to see the doctor, I told her "This feels familiar, I know it's okay"?

However, after Erbai became smaller for several days because of his shortcomings, the breath in Qinghe's heart finally dissipated.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the family is about to get busy, taking advantage of the last leisure of the year, Qinghe decided to go out and play as a family. He is too busy, Qingyang goes back and forth to the master's school, noodle restaurant, and home all day long, not at all like his peers who like to play, Qinghe always contains a little shame in his heart, and in the early morning he pressed a red bean glutinous cake with glutinous rice, red beans, sugar, and honey, and then cut it into bite-sized portions and put it on the top layer of the basket.

Just after nine o'clock (after nine o'clock), the family set off, Erbai carried the basket, Qingyang held his sister's hand, and the three of them went all the way down the spacious street in the morning. Out of the north gate to go to the Qingjiao Mountain outside the city, the mountain there is not high, easy to climb, the grass and trees are verdant, climb up and see the moat, although the winter is covered with heavy snow, but there is still a different scenery.

"What are you doing running so fast?"

Qinghe supported his knees with one hand, his face was slightly red, panting for breath next to Qingyang usually rarely went out, and he looked tired, only the eternally energetic Erbai was like a wild horse, running in front of him with interest, isolating their sister and brother for four or five meters.

"Qingqing, I forgot, you're not in good health, I'll slow down, slow down." Erbai touched his head in embarrassment, because his eyes were shining during this rare outing.

Knowing that she finally played once, Qinghe didn't say anything more.

"Qingqing, what are we going to see on the mountain?" Erbai was carrying something in his hand and talked to Qinghe backwards.

"I'll take you to the mountains to see the snow, the flowers, Yangyang, do you like it?"

"Flowers, what flowers, sister?" Qingyang looked puzzled, what other flowers can bloom this season besides plum blossoms?

"It's plum blossoms!"

I haven't come out to walk for too long, and I've been bored at home for half a month, and Qinghe's body can't keep up, so when I walked to the back, I was panting with Qingyang. Erbai's ears moved, and he quickly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Qinghe was puzzled, and after seeing Erbai stop, he handed the basket in his hand to Qingyang and squatted down in front of her.

The person in front turned his head when he heard the sound, looked at Qinghe with bright eyes, and patted himself on the back, "Qingqing, come up, I'll carry you." ”

Qing He was stunned, smiled and went up.

I didn't expect ...... Erbai is a woman, which actually gave her a thick sense of security, Qinghe shook her head, feeling that she was a little ridiculous, obviously a woman's thin shoulders.

"The one in front is it, but there are no flowers until halfway up the mountain, but the mountain is not high, and it will go up after a short walk." After saying that, he also smiled, it didn't take much time, but now that he was carried by someone, and he was carrying his young brother, it should take a lot of time.

As soon as I arrived at the foot of the mountain, the faint and faint cold fragrance was slightly revealed.

Qing He jolted, feeling that he almost fell off Erbai's back, but it was just almost. Because for some reason, Erbai grabbed it very tightly, especially at the moment when Qinghe was about to slide down, her fingers seemed to be scratching Qinghe's thighs, so she secretly thought to herself that there should be bruises on her legs tomorrow.

However, it seems that she can't be blamed.

"Erbai, the mountain road is not easy to walk, you should be careful, don't turn my sister upside down." Qingyang couldn't stand it, so he helped him and complained.

"It's okay Yangyang, the road is not easy to walk, don't blame Erbai. You smell it, the fragrance of the flowers is already very strong, and you can smell it here. ”

All three of them were a little happy, the fragrance was dark, elegant, half-covering their faces like a beauty, and there was a mysterious beauty. And their group seems to be going to untie the veil of beauty who "still holds the pipa and half-covers their faces", and they are eager to try.

There is no one in the sky above the mountain, and the green pines and cypresses show a very escalated gloom in this snowy world. Birds and beasts either migrated out or hid in caves, but the mountain forest was very quiet, except for the sound of three people stepping on the snow.

Qinghe was afraid that Erbai would be tired, so he had already come down and walked slowly by himself, looking at the good scenery around him while walking.

At this time, there should not have been any creatures.

Just as she was pulling open a branch with a bottom cover, she suddenly stepped on the soles of her feet.

It was a strange touch, soft, and then immediately instinctively retreated, and bumped into Erbai's arms behind him.

Erbai held a branch picked up on the ground in his hand, and gestured casually to open the way, and when he saw Qing He's frightened pale face, he was also frightened, "What's wrong?" ”

"What Dong......" Qing He didn't finish speaking, something suddenly touched her foot, and she looked down at the cold and vicious gaze that was facing her.

"Qingqing, snake!"

Qinghe only felt a great force pulled her, she was unsteady on her feet, stumbled and almost fell, fortunately reached out to help a tree next to her, the rough touch reached the palm of her hand, she just stabilized her body and looked up, she saw Erbai pick up the branch in his hand, and suddenly quickly picked up the brown skin and black snake that was slow because of hibernation, and then the wooden branch in his hand flew out, and there was a sound of "plop".

The snake was still twitching on the ground, but it was fixed there, dying.

"Sister, sister, are you okay?"

Qingyang witnessed this scene just now because Lu Xiao was following behind, and he was almost frightened, and his fingers tightly grasped Qinghe's arm.

"Erbai is amazing, your sister is fine." When the snake was dead, Qing He stepped forward to pick up the snake and weighed it, "It's fat and heavy enough, and it's not bad to take it back to make soup." ”

After making such a fuss, the frightened three people had long lost the idea of enjoying the scenery, and went down the mountain after watching the snow and flowers.

"Sister, when will you eat this?"

Because he was in a hurry, when he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he forgot to eat what he brought out, Qingyang raised the basket in his hand and sniffed it, "It's almost cold." ”

"Forget it, let's go back and warm it up, it's a pity that we didn't have a good time when we came out." It's also a pity.

As soon as he entered the city, Qinghe smelled something unusual.

At this point in normal times, there should already be a lot of pedestrians on the road, hawkers hawking. But today, the road is deserted, and there are no hawkers, which is very strange.

She carefully told the two, "Let's go faster, talk less on the road, and look more with our eyes." ”

On the way back from East Street, I saw a person wearing official clothes stopping a passer-by in front of him, and he pulled him to the side of the road to ask questions, and the voice was so loud that he could hear it from a distance of twenty or thirty meters.

"Have you seen any suspicious people lately?"

"No, no, my lord, I'm a good citizen......

"Follow me!" Qinghe pulled Qingyang away, led Erbai to run into the alley next to him quickly, and didn't stop until she came to the familiar door of the house with a sign on it, and she took a few breaths, she stroked her heart that was beating extremely fiercely, and pushed open the door that was hidden.

"Come in."
