He nodded, stepped out of the way, and asked with concern, "Do you know the road?" Your house is there, you go down from here, you go from there, you go there, and when you see that bamboo forest, turn right and you get there. If you don't remember it halfway, ask someone nearby, do you know? ”

He pointed to the road carefully, his tone was calm and soothing, and the speed of his speech was deliberately slowed down, and he looked at her stunned eyes before continuing to point to the next step.

"Okay." Tian Mi opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to thank her, so she stiffened her body, walked around him slowly, and walked down.

From beginning to end, she kept the same pace, slowly moving farther and farther away from him, until she was completely out of his sight, and she let go of the hairpin in her hand.

She stopped, straightened her clothes, kneaded her face with both hands, and waited until she felt normal before walking briskly in the direction of home.

Tian Mi felt that her whole person was about to split, the surface was calm, but the inside was turbulent, her footsteps and heartbeat fell together, and her ears were full of sudden "knock, knock, knock, knock......"

Until she rushed to the door of the house, saw Tan standing at the door anxiously looking forward to it, saw her, and hurried to meet her at the same time, tears also flowed, somehow, she suddenly calmed down.

It's as if someone is worried about her, so she can not be afraid.

"My mother told me to go home before dusk, how can you ......" Tan held his daughter and didn't let go, remembering that he couldn't wait at home for a long time, and it was the first time that his daughter was so far away from home when she grew so big, so she couldn't sit still anyway, and asked the people who went to the county door to door in the village with a shy face if they had seen her daughter, and after getting a negative answer, she only felt that the sky had fallen.

If it weren't for her son comforting her, running out to find someone and telling her to wait at home, she would have fainted a long time ago.

Tan touched his daughter's round little face, Fang felt that the person in front of him was real, and no matter how much blame he was, he was reluctant to say it, only tears couldn't stop flowing, and he couldn't stop nodding and said, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back." ”

Tian Mi wiped her tears for Tan, and said softly: "Mother, don't cry, don't cry, it's okay." ”

The night was as cold as water, and the tears between her fingers were also cold, sliding straight into her heart, making her heart sad.

In the past, she was busy with work, and the number of times she went home all year round was only a handful, and the contact with her family was only once a week, and the call did not exceed two minutes, and the content was nothing more than that: Have you eaten? How's the body? Is the money enough? Mom and Dad always said yes vigorously, and Yin Yin told her to do this and that, but she was always interrupted.

But even so, every time she came home, they came to pick her up from afar, and she only thought it was a little funny at that time, and she was not a child who didn't know the way, so she needed this? Thinking about it now, she didn't realize the concern in her heart as a parent.

The past is no longer traceable, but those who have come can still learn from it. This is a chance for God to make amends for her.

Tian Mi couldn't help hugging Tan's arm, raised her little face, and said with a smile: "Mother, let's go home." ”

From now on, this is her home, with her mother and younger brother, caring and loving, whether she is lost in another world, or the road ahead is hard, she will definitely overcome thorns and thorns, break out of the world, and keep them rich and healthy!

The two walked into the house hand in hand, and after entering the house, Tan went to the kitchen to cook, and Tian Mi followed Tian Chuan's example, cut the bamboo chips by herself, and grinded the burned charcoal, and wrote down today's income and expenditure one by one.

But until Tan's cooked the meal, Tian Mi avoided the importance and lightly explained the reason for the late return: the first time I went out, everything I saw was novel, and I saw it accidentally. Tagawa didn't come back.

By this time, it was already completely dark.

Tian Mi couldn't help but look out, looking restless, and the sentence 'I'll go out and have a look' didn't come out. She knew that with the lesson of Tian Chuan, the Tan family would not allow it no matter what, not to mention, she was still a girl.

However, you can't sit still, Tian Mi thought about it, and said, "Mother, why don't we go and ask the people in the village to help find it?" It's better to have more power than to wait. ”

"Okay." Tan really had no choice, she showed this face, and asked them to help get her son back!

Tan got up, pressed Tian Mi who stood up, and said, "You wait at home, don't walk around, my mother will go back when she goes." Take care of your home, don't open the door when people you don't know well, and shout loudly if you don't look right. ”

Tian Mi took Tan's hand and insisted: "Mother, let's go together to take care of it." Besides, look at the gate of our courtyard, what is really going on, where does it work? You don't have to worry about leaving your daughter in such an unsafe home? ”

She knew very well what the attitude of the women in the village was towards her mother, and she went to ask other men for help in the middle of the night, so as not to be stumbled.

Tan thought about it, so he agreed.

The two of them carried a lamp and walked out, and as soon as they walked into their yard, they felt a vibration on the ground.

Tan's face turned white, he clenched Tian Mi's hand, and wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

"It seems to be the sound of horses' hooves, about a dozen horses." Tian Mi also looked solemn, she patted Tan's hand, and quickly ran to close the door left for Tian Chuan.

Her house was not far from the village, and there was a passage into the village in front of the door, and the horse caravan passed by it and rushed into the village.

For a time, the whole village only heard the sound of horses' hooves and dogs barking, and there was no sound of people. - No one dared to hit the muzzle of the gun, and every house closed its door.

"What can I do?" Tan's face was snow-white, tears burst into his eyes, and he asked anxiously, "Xiaochuan, will he be okay?" ”

Now in this situation, everyone avoids it, and no one will help them as outsiders!

Tian Mi gritted her teeth, pushed Tan into the house without saying anything, and said categorically: "Mother, you are in the house, don't go anywhere, you believe me, I will definitely bring my brother back." ”

Tan Shi looked at his daughter with a determined face in a daze, looked at the tenacity and courage exuded from those glass-like eyes, and couldn't help but think of the figure that stood in front of her and faced Ergui, and that feeling of dependence once again rose in his heart.

Finally, she nodded.

Tian Mi stopped being verbose, she closed the door carefully, and quickly ran in the direction of the fierce dog barking.

The sturdy knight he met at the gate of the city, the murderous murderer who crashed into the col, was the gentle stranger he saw on the ridge!

This group of people is going for the stranger.

She didn't forget that Tagawa had borrowed the man's book, although she didn't know how familiar they were, and she didn't know where Tagawa was looking for her, but as long as she kept up with this group of dangerous elements, she could determine whether Tagawa would be in danger, which was the most direct and urgent at present.

Tian Mi has never hated her short legs like she does now, nor has she liked her short and easy to hide figure like she does now. She took a shortcut, and soon caught up with them, and was now nestled in a haystack, looking out through the gap.

The most common ones in the countryside are the sheds and straw piles built on corn stalks, and there are several next to her, presumably left by the original owner.

The stranger rented an independent courtyard, with a bamboo forest behind the courtyard and a big locust tree in front of the door. There was no light in the room at the moment, and it was dark and quiet as if there was no one.

The person who led the team was wearing a silver-white silk robe, he was not even masked, revealing a pure and flawless face, but unfortunately she could not see it clearly from Tian Mi's angle, she could only see his thin back and tall posture, which was very eye-catching in the dark night.

I saw him wave his hand, and the strong men behind him who were masked in black scarves but did not wear night clothes took action, they untied the barrels hanging on the horses, poured oil on the houses one by one, and after pouring them, they directly lit the fire.

After setting the fire, they sat on their horses, watching the fire raging in front of them, and seeing that the house had no power to resist, little by little, and then collapsed with a bang.

They never said a word, and there was not a single scream in the room.

Without hearing the screams, Tian Mi breathed a sigh of relief.

At this point, the gang went home.

In the dark night, the sound of the gathered horses' hooves was like thunder, stepping on the tips of the villagers' hearts.

When they were sure they were far away, Tian Mi got up from the haystack, patted the residue on her dress, and prepared to return the way she came.

As a result, as soon as she turned around, she bumped into a late girl's face.

Tian Chuan stretched his handsome little face and asked lifelessly, "Why are you here?" ”

Tian Mi hugged her chest, leaned on the grass, and asked back: "Why are you here?" ”
