I found a sheltered corner, pulled a few dead grasses, and barely spent the night here, and tomorrow I will go to chop wood, and I must build a big house here, so that these people who have never seen the world know what a house is.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, but Qingfeng can't sleep at all, his stomach screams endlessly, he never knew that the night was so cold, he can only shrink himself into a ball.

I don't know how long it took, I saw the sky full of stars, the Milky Way composed of stars seemed to be really flowing, and occasionally I could see a flash of stars, I haven't seen such a night sky for a long time, the last time was three years ago when my sister came back to see me, everyone watched together, this three years have passed, I don't know if my sister is better now? I really want to go back early to see my sister, master, and the little master who tries to abuse himself every day.

When Qin Fenglan was nostalgic for his past, a figure quietly approached the corner of the wall where Qingfeng Lan was lying, I don't know if the person who came really didn't see it, or if it was deliberate, anyway, he stepped on Qingfenglan's leg, almost jumped up in pain, and roared in a low voice: "You want to murder me." "The person who came was Zifeng, although he walked over very carefully, but with the hearing of the breeze, the sound when he opened the door had already been heard.

As soon as Qingfeng Lan was born, Zifeng was startled, but he didn't make a sound, and whispered: "Follow me." ”

After speaking, he walked to the outside of the village, and he couldn't sleep anyway, so he followed this little girl to have a look.

The two sneaked out of the village, and wandered in the woods for a long time, and the woods couldn't see the five fingers, Qingfeng Lan thought to himself, you just thank your ancestors for accumulating virtue, otherwise you will kill you in this grove, this will be a hundred, you can also leave this ghost place, go back to reunite with your family.

After walking for a while, suddenly there was a bright light in front of me, and if I looked closely, it was the lake reflecting the moonlight in the sky, which made this neighborhood so bright. Seeing that it was lit up, Zifeng walked quickly towards the lake, Zifeng found a dilapidated raft on the grass by the lake, pushed the raft into the water with a familiar car, and found a log as a paddle nearby, the two of them stood on the small raft that could be turned over at any time and rowed towards the lake, and after rowing for a while, they saw that there was a small island in the lake, the island was not big, the length and width were only a dozen steps, and Zifeng carefully fixed the raft after going to the island.

"Well? This is my secret base. ”

Qingfeng Lan said with great disgust: "This is also a secret base, what is here, water, and stones?"

Zifeng was not angry, and motioned for Qingfeng to lie down. After the two lay down side by side, Zifeng pointed to the stars in the sky and said, "This is my secret base, it's beautiful to watch the stars here." ”

Qingfeng Lan nodded in response.

Zifeng continued: "When I was a child, the people in the village didn't want to see me, because my spirit couldn't help everyone, I couldn't hunt, I couldn't farm, I couldn't move things like Brother Dashan, and I didn't have a smart mind like Brother Xiao Chen, so I always couldn't eat, every time I didn't have enough to eat, I would come here, on this small island, sometimes I would stranded some small fish, barely so that I wouldn't go to sleep hungry, and then my grandmother taught me healing, every time someone was injured, I would always be the first to run to treatment, if nothing else, I just didn't want to eat raw fish." But there weren't many people in the village who were injured, so I didn't get to eat every day, and then I always left a little food every time I ate to prevent I didn't have food tomorrow. When I grew up, there were many people who brought me food, or took me to hunt, and even if I didn't catch anything, they would take some of their booty and say it was mine, but I refused, and my grandmother said that taking other people's things is to receive favors from others, and I will have to pay it back in the future, and if I can't afford it, I may have to marry myself to someone else, so even if I can't sleep with hunger, I don't want to accept other people's things. ”

"Where's your grandmother? won't she help you?"

"Grandma is not my own grandmother, she is the village chief, younger people call her grandma, when I was a child, she never took care of me, just let me live in the village, unless I fainted from hunger, otherwise she rarely came to see me, she likes Xiao Chen very much, because Xiao Chen will go to the town, or the city to sell things, and then buy some things back, Xiao Chen can bring back things that make grandma happy every time, so even if Xiao Chen has no hunting for a few days, no labor, you can still sit and eat with grandma. Grandma is a master of the spirit level, and the people in the village dare not say anything. ”

When Qingfeng Lan heard this, he looked sideways slightly, looked at this girl who was about the same age as himself, and thought that although he was taught by the master and the little master in turn, he had never worried about food and clothing since he was a child.

Zifeng didn't know what Qingfeng Lan was thinking, and continued to tell his story: "Every year, some bandits come to the village, and they don't hurt people, they just ask for some food, although they will rob a lot, but they won't make the villagers hungry, so we have been swallowing our anger." Until last year, the boss of the bandit fell in love with a girl in our village, but the girl's family did not agree, so there was a conflict with the bandit, the bandit directly killed the girl's family, and then took the girl away, and left a message that he would take a girl back this year, so that the people in the village could prepare in advance. ”

"Isn't your grandma a master?

"Grandma said before that although she is powerful, she is still not as powerful as the bandit boss, especially since there are many bandits, grandma can't beat them alone, so she can only tell them in a good voice every time. In the spring of this year, the bandits sent someone to see the selected girl, although no one told me that day, but I knew that they chose me, after all, there are only a few people in the village who have no family, except for me, the rest are still young, and I can't contribute to the village, giving me to the bandits should be the best choice in the village. ”

A sudden surge of anger surged in Qingfenglan's heart, since he was a child, he has followed his master's self-cultivation and cultivation, and ordinary things will not let his mood fluctuate in any way, and now for some reason, there is an irrepressible anger in his heart.

Not noticing that there was any difference in the Qingfeng Lan around her, Zifeng continued: "Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with everyone abandoning me, I'm just a person who can't eat and work in the village, and going to the bandits' village can relieve the girls in the village for a year, maybe everyone will leave here after a year." ”

Qingfeng Lan sighed in his heart when he heard this, this girl is pitiful and distressing, she is still hungry in the village, she has finally grown up, and she has to be given to the bandits as a sacrifice, although she is not a person who has never seen the world, but from Zifeng's mouth, there is always a sad feeling.

Zifeng was silent after speaking, and Qingfeng Lan asked, "Why don't you run?" If you want to run, I can help you, at least I can help you get out of here and go to a place where no one knows you, the food is better than here, the accommodation is no worse than you are now, and there will be no bandits." ”

Zifeng smiled slightly: "Thank you for your kindness, but I can't leave here, if I leave, the people in the village will be killed by the bandits, you haven't seen the appearance of the bandits, each of them is very fierce and cruel, the slightest disappointment will kill people, I heard grandma said, there used to be a village chief who was unwilling to give food, and the bandits killed all the people in the village in one night, and the blood flowed like a river." ”

Qingfeng Lan thought to himself that she was really a person who had never seen the world, and she didn't dare to leave with a few casual words, there were only about a hundred people in a village, and there was no comparison with the blood she had seen, but the bandit who was more powerful than the old woman made Qingfeng Lan interested. He asked, "Do you know where the bandits' stockade is?"

"I don't know about this, I've heard that they are very mysterious, they can only see us when they want to see us, they don't want to see us, we can't find them at all. ”

It seems that he only dispelled the idea of visiting, and was about to continue to ask about the two old men in the village, Qingfeng Lan gently touched Zifeng's hand, Zifeng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This is my secret base, and the people in the village don't know here, so I always like to come here when I am alone, quietly look at the stars, and my heart will be much more stable, let's go, let's go back, I brought you to my secret base today, you have to keep it a secret." With that, he got up and began to prepare the raft. Qingfeng said: "Then can you help build me a house tomorrow? It's really uncomfortable to sleep outside at night." ”

"Uh... Yes, yes, but I can't carry the wood. ”

"You don't need to carry it, I carry it, the main thing is that I can't build it, I've cut and carried wood, but I can't build a house. ”

"Okay, then I'll help you build it, how about you take care of my food?"

"It's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

After saying that, the two of them rowed towards the shore on a raft, and after reaching the shore, Zifeng hid the raft and then took Qingfeng Lan into the woods, and the two walked towards the village in the dark.

Back in the village, the two went back to their respective rooms, Zifeng returned to the dilapidated house, gently closed the door, Qingfeng Lan naturally could only return to the corner, continue his unfinished memories, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

After the two left, two black shadows crossed the water and appeared on the island, the two figures walked back and forth on the island mountain several times, and after carefully groping on the island for a long time to no avail, they checked the nearby lake again, until they confirmed that there was nothing unusual around before leaving the island, and the two black shadows did not leave a trace for a long time around. Back on the shore, the black shadow directly destroyed the raft that Zifeng had hidden, escaped into the woods with a light snort, and disappeared into the darkness in a blink of an eye.
