Chapter 43: The Unfathomable (I)

The little boy's eyes are blazing, and his eyes are reflected in the firelight, like a young wolf lurking in the shade and darkness, ready to pounce on you and bite your neck - with the courage to survive and the pressure of death, so that the little child has the obsession and consciousness of your life and death.

The times create heroes, not only the best people at that time, but even ordinary people in different circumstances, no one can be sure what they will look like.

Changting was sincerely disgusted and afraid of such a gaze and expression, and his eyes inadvertently swept towards the other side of the bushes, and that group of people were looking at this place either explicitly or secretly, Changting was shocked, and when he looked at the little boy again, there was obviously more vigilance and precaution in his eyes.

Hu Yuniang didn't worry so much, and leaned over with a smile and grabbed a small handful of pine nuts and handed them to the boy.

The boy glanced at the long pavilion, took it with one hand, his eyes wandered around, looked left and right for a long time, and saw that the three of them were not too far away from the previous group of strong men, but there was some distance in the end, and he was secretly relieved, and after a long time, he looked at the chestnuts simmering next to the fire with an expressionless face, and a few words popped out of his mouth, "I want to eat this"

There is sugar in chestnuts, and they are big and big, and they are eaten in winter nights, which are naturally hungrier than pine nuts, not to mention that chestnuts are roasted by fire, which is more fragrant than pine nuts.

There are many people, and the hearts and eyes of others are too many to count, and they can't bake dry naan, so they all point to this chestnut to eat all night

Hu Yuniang was also a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, she reached out and took two chestnuts, and before she could raise her wrist, she was grabbed by someone, and turned her head to see that it was Changting.

"We don't have enough to eat either." Changting's voice was very deep, the little girl's deliberately lowered voice was hoarse and low, her eyes were very bright, and the words were said to Hu Yuniang, but her eyes looked directly at the boy, "We have nothing but this." There are also pine trees here, and there are still buried fruits under half of the ten Thai trees, and you can dig them yourself, or if you can't dig them with a little strength, the elders who come with you can also dig them. If you don't have a shovel, we can lend you a shovel. ”

Changting was afraid that the boy would not be used to listening to the official language, so he spoke very slowly, sentence by sentence.

If you can speak, you should be able to listen to it.

Hu Yuniang frowned and leaned over, and quietly discussed with Changting, "No matter how bad it is, we still have dry naan."

Changting's eyes swept away, Hu Yuniang's words choked in her throat, and she stared at the little girl with a solemn face.

The little boy also stared at the long pavilion, turned his back to hide the pine nuts in his hand tightly behind him, his eyes darkened, turned sideways to his knees slightly bent, and his elbows were up.

This is a posture ready to attack anytime, anywhere!

He thought she would snatch the pine nuts she had given her!

Changting was startled at first, and then his heart softened, and he said lightly, "Everyone is starving and cold, and no one is in a better situation than the other." Pine nuts and chestnuts can be obtained by self-reliance, which is much easier than surviving in today's world, so why do you have to reach out to others? ”

After a long time, the little boy glanced deeply at the pavilion and turned away.

By the light of the fire, which jumped up and down, Changting saw the boy's eyes when he left in a trance, and his heart was inexplicably panicked, and he squinted and looked at the other side of the bush, the ragged and unknown people all stood up and looked at them unabashedly, Changting's chest was cold, and his teeth were closed.

The group was testing them with the little boy.

Looking left and right is to see if there is anything else besides the fruit that has been dug out, and asking for something is to observe the personality and attitude of the three people, and even come over to see if there are other people here besides the three girls

In fact, the ending of giving and not giving is the same!

Not only does the world eat people, but people eat people even more!

Changting's spine was straight, and his hand slowly clenched into a fist.

When the black shadow walked away, Hu Yuniang relieved herself from her red face and red ears, leaned towards the long pavilion, seemed to have palpitations, and patted her chest while saying, "You said that you are a little cub, why are your eyes so sharp and terrifying!" It's the same as my grandfather's contempt for me when he killed a wolf! ”

Hu Yuniang looked at Changting for a long time and didn't answer, stretched out her elbow and wanted to hit again.

Changting hurriedly dodged sideways, reached out and grabbed Hu Yuniang's arm, and his voice was soft, "In addition to that dagger, do you have any other real guys on you?" ”

Hu Yuniang laughed, "You can hold that dagger, and you also brought a box of silver needles." Grandpa can make needles, I learned a few hands to protect myself, so that I can make three or five big men can't get close! ”

No wonder she dared to go to the end of the world with two oil bottles!

Changting's heart was settled, slightly raised his chin and looked at that place, the little boy had returned to the clearing through the layers of bushes, and the people suddenly surrounded the boy, the atmosphere instantly became noisy, and the length of the voice did not know what to say, Changting sank down and counted them one by one, there were about thirty men, more than a dozen women and children, the men were thin and capable, and the women dragged their children with their cubs.

Changting was silent, thought about it, and suddenly smiled and bumped his elbow against Hu Yuniang's elbow, and his tone was brisk.

"Hey! If something happens at night, remember to carry the package of dried naan and Grandpa Hu's tablet and head north. ”

Leave her and Changning alone.

Hu Yuniang is the person their sisters met after spending all their good luck, but what they brought to Hu Yuniang was wave after wave of calamity.

It was a meeting in Pingshui, and Hu Yuniang had no obligation to work hard for the two sisters.

Hu Yuniang was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and laughed, "What's wrong?" As he spoke, he turned his head again, looking happy, and went to the fire with a long wooden stick, and the sparks splashed out and stuck on the snow, and the yellow and shiny sparks stayed on the white velvet snowdrift for a while and then rested, and said with a smile, "Even if something happens, it doesn't make sense, I will run to leave you and A-Ning here with food on my back." Don't forget, I'm older than both of you! ”

Because he was older than them, he consciously and voluntarily took on the responsibility of rushing to the front in everything

This stupid chick!

Changting turned his face sideways, Hu Yuniang's nose bridge was very straight, so the side looked very erect, deep eyes, oblique eyebrows, slightly upturned lips, not like flowers, like a long reed forming a low-hanging fluttering flower.

"I'm afraid it's not peaceful tonight."

Changting sincerely hoped that his guess was wrong.

Whether it is right or wrong, in the quiet field in the middle of the night, every qiē has been confirmed.

The felt carpet was blown up by the wind, and the two took turns to keep vigil, the long pavilion was the first, sitting in the felt blanket shed with the burden, very close to the fire, the long pavilion listened with his ears, the middle of the night in the mountain path was the most unpeaceful, the howling of the beasts, the small sound of the leaves squirming, the water surging, and the sound of people stepping on the snow back and forth.

The strong men also sent people to keep vigil.

They are inevitably too careful, obviously with one to ten, but they are always on guard against this group of hungry ordinary people

Phew, when are you still thinking about other people's things!

No wonder in the past, her father always complained that she was willing to "do things half-heartedly and often be willing to wander", but isn't it, in the dark wilderness, she is alone in the night vigil, and her brain is still thinking about the stories of others, not only "willing to wander", but also "stupid and bold".

"Silly and bold" is what the eldest brother Lu Changying likes to talk about.

I don't know where he is, where he's going, and if he's still alive

Changting's heart trembled slightly, his expression was sad, he closed his eyes for a long time, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw a human hand groping in the corner of the felt carpet hanging low!

Changting took the sharp knife and dagger in his arms, gritted his teeth, pulled out the scabbard, and the cold light on the face of the dagger flashed down, Changting took a big breath, held the handle of the knife tightly with both hands, raised his hand above his head, and then smashed it down, slashing towards the human hand.

"Ahh

The wail of the man outside resounded through the mountain stream!

Ah Yuan is going to break his promise today, alas, he came back from the hospital very late, and he didn't know if he didn't check it, and he was shocked when he checked it, and there was something wrong with his body. The doctor said that he was not allowed to stay up late, as if he was quite strict. So as soon as I came back, it was a plug and a plaster, and I tossed it for a long time, and this chapter was still lying on the bed, so today's second one should be gone, but A-Yuan will definitely return it, and if you have the energy to write it tomorrow, you will return it. Ah Yuan is a man of retribution, he only told people about his health problems a few days ago, and now he has cashed it out, alas
