Chapter 6: Rui'er's Secret

As a senior North Drifter, a fast-paced lifestyle is my standard, and here, time suddenly slowed down, I have not had the habit of sleeping lazy, although there is no alarm clock and mobile phone now, I will still wake up on time at that time, get up to eat, and then will be in the yard that palm-sized place for a long time, and then eat the next meal, and then go to the yard for a long time, every day, over and over again, I once wanted to go to the valley for a walk, but every time I was stopped by Rui'er, The reason is that it is not safe to have wild beasts in this valley, and I can only sigh that I am indeed helpless now.

Speaking of Rui'er, I still live in her room, but she and I don't have much communication with me, except for calling me to eat, almost don't talk to me, but I found a strange phenomenon, her life rules seem to be different from normal people, several times, I woke up in the middle of the night, found Rui'er is not in the house, went out to look for her, it seems that she is not in this house, and I get up in the morning and go out, I can always see her with a bow on one shoulder, and some mountain goods in the other hand, sometimes pheasants, sometimes rabbits, Sometimes it was some wild fruits and vegetables, which came in from the gate of the courtyard, put them on the stone table in the yard, and then went to the kitchen to cook, and had breakfast with me, and went to clean up the mountain goods, and after the busy work, I went to make lunch, and after lunch, I would take a nap for a while, and then I would go to the yard to practice bows and arrows, and then make dinner, and a few times, I took the initiative to provoke the conversation, and wanted to ask her why she always went out in the middle of the night, but she was ignored, which made my curiosity more and more serious.

"Do you need to go out in the middle of the night to hunt?" I turned to the side and looked at Rui'er lying on the table, she was sleeping deeply, the quilt on her body rose and fell with the rhythm of her breathing, the corners of her mouth turned up from time to time, and she snored slightly, "It's so cute!" I made up my mind to get to know this roommate.

I was thinking about whether Rui'er would go out tonight, and suddenly heard the sound of Rui'er getting up, I hurriedly turned over and continued to pretend to sleep, peeking at Rui'er to get up and change her clothes, and gently pushed the door out, I hurriedly and quietly got up, put on my clothes lightly, pushed open a crack in the door, and found that Rui'er had already carried the bow and arrow, and pushed open the courtyard door to go out.

"I must see what secrets you have today", and I followed Rui'er out of the yard with her.

Although it was a bright moon, but the jungle on both sides of the road was dense, and only mottled moonlight was left on the ground, the road in the valley was not easy to walk, and it didn't take long for my back to start sweating, I couldn't follow too closely, lest she find me, but I couldn't go too far, the terrain of the valley was complicated, and I was likely to get lost. It was pitch black around me, and I could only look at Rui'er's figure by the moonlight, and keep moving forward.

After walking for about an hour, the figure in front of me didn't seem to have the intention of stopping, and my physical strength had been exhausted, although I had been wearing a set of short clothes and soft-soled boots given to me by Qi Tong at Zhou Cong's house, but this mountain road was getting more and more difficult to walk, and my breathing couldn't help but become more and more rapid, in order to avoid being found out because of the loud breathing, I had to stop and lean against the tree on the side of the road to catch my breath.

"Where the hell is she going?" I thought as I lifted my sleeve and wiped the sweat from my forehead, but when I lowered my arm and looked forward, Rui'er was gone.

"Oops, lost?" I was shocked.

The mountain wind rustled the leaves and weeds around me, and the dappled moonlight on the ground swayed with the shaking of the branches.

Now I am just a fourteen or five-year-old boy, I don't have the ability to survive in the wilderness, I don't have the tools to light the fire, and I don't have anything to defend myself, I came out in a hurry tonight, and I didn't take into account the problem of getting lost, I didn't bring dry food with me, I am not Bei Ye, naturally I can't be a man standing at the top of the food chain, I feel that I will soon become the supper of the beasts in this valley.

"Don't you understand the truth that curiosity kills cats?" I complained to myself, and every now and then I heard a few more howls of wild beasts, and I became more and more frightened, and I couldn't help but crouch on the ground, and my body shrunk into a ball. Suddenly, I felt something touch my body, my fear reached the extreme, people often say, fear to the extreme, anger, I yelled, all of a sudden I stood up and prepared to fight the thing that touched me, I looked up, but saw a familiar face.

"Miss Rui'er, why are you here", it was Rui'er, she found me, my heart suddenly became excited, and my voice trembled a little.

"Your Highness, you have followed me so far, are you planning to eat more for breakfast?" I couldn't see her expression, but it was certainly full of mockery.

"Eh" Rui'er's words made me a little embarrassed, and I hurriedly made up a reason, "I woke up at night and found that Miss Rui'er was going out alone, and I was worried that one of your daughters' family was in danger, so I followed behind to protect you", as soon as I finished speaking, I regretted it, this reason is really rotten.

"So what's your trick? Squatting on the ground to protect me? And shrunk into a ball! ”

My face flushed, and my hands kept rubbing the corners of my clothes, but luckily it was dark and Rui'er couldn't see my expression now, otherwise she would have laughed off her big teeth.

"Okay, I ask you, why are you following me?"

This is the best chance to find the answer, I hurriedly said: "Miss Rui'er, don't be angry, in fact, I found that Miss Rui'er often goes out in the middle of the night, and I feel curious, so I followed, in this valley, wild beasts are infested at night, why did Miss Rui'er come here alone?" ”

"Do you want to know the answer? Then you can follow me on. With that, he turned and walked forward again.

I walked a few quick steps and followed Rui'er, who pulled out a bead from her bag behind her, and the bead shimmered white, illuminating a large area around us.

"What kind of treasure is this?" I asked curiously

"This is called a fisheye stone, my father gave it to me, if I usually walk at night, I will take it, although the brightness can't catch up with the torch, but it can always shine, longer than the torch" Rui'er said as she walked, "Actually, I don't know why I often run out in the middle of the night, my father said, since I picked me up, I will often run to this valley in the middle of the night, and then keep walking in this valley, several times, my father almost can't find me" Speaking of this, Rui'er suddenly laughed, her big eyes flickeredThe eyelashes also beat, reflecting the bright light of the fisheye stone, and the two rows of neat teeth have become more snow-white.

"Did your dad tell you anything?"

"Not really, I told my dad that every time I ran out in the middle of the night, it was because I heard a voice calling out to me, calling me to find it, but my dad said that he didn't hear any shouts during the night, and said that maybe I had been wandering in the valley for too long, frightened, and had some hysteria or something."

"What does that voice say?"

"I don't quite understand it, I just feel like it's giving me direction, but the sound only lasts for a while before it dies down."

"And then?" This is the first time Rui'er has spoken to me so much, and I can't let go of this opportunity to open her heart.

"After a long time, my disease has not been cured, and I still often run out in the middle of the night, but fortunately, I have been in the valley for a long time, and I am very familiar with this place, so my father gave me a fisheye, so that even if my father does not look for me, I can find my way home by the light of the fisheye." As he spoke, he shook the fisheye stone in front of my eyes.

"Zhou Cong, who is a father, really has a big heart," I thought to myself, and then asked, "Then why do you have to go out in the middle of the night?" Isn't it safer during the day? ”

"That sound only appears at night, at first it was only occasionally heard, but recently it has been coming very frequently and for longer and longer, and I can still hear it!" Rui'er said, pointing to her ear.

"I'm getting more and more interested in what you're saying, and since the voice guiding you is still there, let's get to the bottom of this secret tonight," I said, raising my hand.

"Okay, it's boring to walk alone, by the way, don't call me Rui'er girl in the future, just call me Rui'er, in fact, during this time of getting along, I think you are also a very honest person, sleep with me, there is nothing to think about, it's really boring, or I'll give you an interesting name, in the future, my father will not be there, I will call you Wensan."

"Why is it called Wen San?"

"Because your name is Zhu Wenzhe, the third in line, hahaha..." With that, Rui'er trotted forward.

"Wen San? It's not a bad name either."
