"The injuries are so neat, right? Soak in water, there's nothing wrong with it, right? As Qiao Yun spoke, he pretended to look at Lin Ziyuan's whole body inadvertently.

"Hah! It's all set! This is all the credit of Qiaoyun, Xiaosheng is here to thank you! Lin Ziyuan flicked his tongue and snorted indiscriminately. He shook his arms casually and bowed his legs. The hair has grown out, a short layer, quite thick. The white face, after the sun, turned pink, faintly revealing perseverance, although the clothes are old, but they fit very well, how comfortable the whole person looks!

"Humph! Poor mouth..."Qiaoyun was stunned, and after a long time, her heart beat so hard that her face turned red. Quickly bow your head and turn around and walk back: this person is quite good-looking!

"What? What are you doing with me? Can't walk? Lin Ziyuan grabbed Qiaoyun behind him.

"Oh, Qiaoyun, I want to go over there and see..., on the other side of the river, can I go over?" Letting go of Qiaoyun's hand, Lin Ziyuan pointed to the top of the slope on the other side of the river, he rolled all the way down from the top of the slope, and wanted to go over to see the scene, otherwise, after a long time, there would be nothing.

“... If you can go over, go up the river, there is a big stone stone, you can cross the river from the big stone stone, I walked by when my father and I were hunting. ”

Three people and one dog, walking along the river. It is in this narrow part of the river that there are several large stones lying in the water, forming a natural bridge, and the water flows through the gaps in the big stones. Qiaoyun was afraid that Ermao would fall into the water, so he carried him on his back. Lin Ziyuan took Qiaoyun's hand and opened the way in front.

Lin Ziyuan didn't feel anything, it was not easy to walk on the stone, and he protected Qiaoyun, afraid that her sister and brother would be in danger. I'm in my thirties, what else can I do to this sixteen or seventeen little girl—no, this disease is happening again? I still haven't been able to adapt to my new identity!

Qiao Yun was pulled by Lin Ziyuan, his face turned red, and his heart beat hard! This feeling of being cared for and protected is very comfortable and good - how long has it been since I have been cared for as a child? When I was eight years old, my grandfather hugged ... Since he fled to this deep mountain forest with his father, he followed his father into the mountains to hunt at the age of eleven or twelve, even if he encountered a wolf...

"Slow down! Slow down! Watch your step! Watch your step! ... What do you think about that? "Finally crossed the river and let go. Qiaoyun put down Ermao, and felt a faint loss in his heart: This kid... Nurse, he's quite careful.

After turning a big bend and starting to climb, the weather was still a little hot, and the three of them finally climbed to the top of the slope after sweating.

There was a large patch of burned ash among the grass, and there were signs of struggle in the ash, and many leaves fell into the ashes, which seemed to have been burned for some time. A few pieces of cloth were scattered among the ashes, yellowed by the fire, and their original color was no longer visible. There was also a half-burned straw rope. Qiao Yun knew why Lin Ziyuan was here.

"Is this a thick stick, with a rope to strangle, for carrying a man? There is also a rag bag" Qiaoyun revealed the carefulness of an old hunter: "Look! There is a road here, which also comes from the big stone stone, and there are not many people, just two? Then go down the river, turn a corner, and it is the road to Xiahe Village, these two people are from Xiahe Village? Is your home from Xiahe Village? No, my father and I often go to Xiahe Village, and I've never seen you... It's impossible not to see such a big person once..."

There are no more valuable clues, and too much time has passed, and even if there was anything left at the beginning, it is no longer to be found. It's not like a bandit tearing up a ticket, it's not so troublesome to tear up a ticket, and it's over with a knife, and it's kicked into the pit.

Then it could be a vendetta, a hired murderer? Destroying corpses? What a great hatred is this, to burn people alive? Lin Ziyuan sat there, this slope is so steep, this person was kicked down after death? Or did you not die and roll down on your own? Lin Ziyuan only has the memory of the second half when he rolled down, as for the first half, his brain was blank, not that he had forgotten it, but that he had not it in the first place.

Qiaoyun saw that Lin Ziyuan had been sitting there, looking at the river below the slope in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. walked over gently, sat beside Lin Ziyuan, and quietly grabbed his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid..."

Lin Ziyuan was very moved: This little girl must have thought that I recalled the terrible scene that happened here: "I'm fine, Sister Qiaoyun, I'm glad I met you, otherwise, I would have died a long time ago..."

"Humph! Listening to your sister who has been shouting for so long, this time it is sincere! Qiaoyun pulled the hair in front of his forehead, without braids, the sparrow's tail behind his head was always untied, and his hair always broke free to cover his face: "I saved you, in fact, you saved me... God arranged for me to meet you there, otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence? In fact... That day I was going to jump into the river to die..."

"Is it for Zhao Huozi's business?"

"Hmmm! … Well? You know all about it? ”

"I asked Ermao, it was Xiao Maotou who told me, don't worry, Qiaoyun, I will solve Zhao Huozi's matter, I won't let anyone bully you! And....Da Mao, I don't blame you for Da Mao's affairs, I will help you rescue Da Mao. Big hair... He's my brother, too. ”

Qiao Yun looked at Lin Ziyuan steadily, his eyes slowly turned red, he lay on his knees, and cried with a whimper: "I don't want to do this either... It's that I didn't take a good look at Da Mao... My mother always complains about me... My dad doesn't care about me, he wants to give me to the yard... Nobody hurts me... I, I'm going to throw myself into the river, and I won't die with the yard..."Woo woo woo, Qiao Yun cried louder and louder, as if he wanted to cry out all the grievances and fears, tear through the pretense of strength and bravery, and the rest is just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, at this age, in the next life, maybe she is in high school, and she is still noisy and coquettish around her parents! This evil old society!

Lin Ziyuan clumsily took Qiaoyun in his arms and patted her back gently with his hand: "Okay!" Good! Let's not talk to the yards! Let's go save Da Mao, let's go save Da Mao! Where am I, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, be good..."Ermao has never seen her sister crying, and the sister in her memory is brave and capable, as if nothing can bother her. This cry frightened Ermao, and he sat far away with Huzi, and he didn't dare to come out. Lin Ziyuan was afraid that Qiaoyun would be embarrassed for a while, so he squeezed his eyebrows at Ermao Nu's mouth, feeling that his eyes were about to cramp, and the little kid finally understood, got up quietly, and left lightly with Huzi.

Qiaoyun cried in Lin Ziyuan's arms for a long time, and finally sat up straight, his cheeks were red all the way to the root of his ears, and finally even his neck was red, and he didn't know what to say. Well, what should have come has finally come, embarrassing and embarrassing. Neither of them spoke, but sat stiff like two dry stakes. Lin Ziyuan was a straight man in his previous life, how to break this deadlock, he has no experience!

In the end, Qiaoyun made a move, pulled his hair, and stretched out his hand to point down the slope: "That! There is a spring under this hillside, the water is sweet, when it is hot, the water is very cold and cold, but in winter, this spring has never frozen, and it is still hot outward, you say strange is not strange? Qiaoyun spoke sullenly, and asked Lin Ziyuan in a thick nasal voice: "By the way, didn't you see the spring when you rolled down from here that day?" ”

Lin Ziyuan rolled his eyes: "Big sister! I'm running for my life! Not to go tourist! It's from here that you tumble down, not riding a donkey and singing mountain songs! Besides, I was injured at that time, and my eyes were so smoky that I couldn't see, how do you let me appreciate what kind of spring is cool on a hot day and hot in winter? "Reaching out and giving her a brain break.

"Oh, yes, yes, look at me..."Qiaoyun shrank his head: "... No, you dare to hit me! I'm your sister! You stinky boy...", you chase me and leave.

"Ahh Sister, how are you? Don't cry? "Bumped into Ermao head-on. This kid opened his mouth, and Lin Ziyuan knew that he wanted bad vegetables: it's still a tendon, I don't know how to turn the corner, isn't this looking for a fight?

Sure enough, Qiao Yun grabbed Ermao's ears and stretched out her hand and slapped her head twice: "What are you talking about?" What do you say? Who's crying? Which eye did you see me crying? Ermao was very aggrieved, and Lin Ziyuan hurriedly came over to pull the rack.

The three of them were fighting, and they saw Huzi running east and west sniffing the ground, turned around and barked at the three of them, and walked towards the mountains on the side with his tail pushed. The three of them were very strange: what kind of prey did Huzi find?

He followed him until he was under two boulders, and Huzi stood there motionless. Both stones are large and half buried in the earth. After years of wind and rain, the soil in the middle of the boulder was washed away, revealing a dark hole.

"Don't go over, wolf..."Qiao Yun grabbed Lin Ziyuan, and the hunter's experience told her that this was a wolf's den.

Looking at Huzi, Lin Ziyuan shook his head lightly: "It's okay, Huzi is very relaxed, there are no wolves in it..."

Huzi explored the way in front, and Lin Ziyuan followed and climbed in. The entrance to this wolf's den is very small, and one person can only move into it with a short body, but I didn't expect it to be very wide inside, and most of it has been hollowed out under the entire boulder, like Ermao's body, walking straight, and it will not touch the top of the cave, the hole is not very dark, nor is it stuffy, there seems to be air circulation - it turns out that there is an exit behind it! People say that there are three holes in the cunning rabbit, and it seems that this wolf is not bad.

"Looks like a pack of wolves lived in the past" The three of them retreated, carefully camouflaging the front and back holes with thatched branches: "Probably there won't be any other wolves living in." This cave should be kept a secret and not told to anyone, this may be of great use in the future." Lin Ziyuan explained to the two seriously, with a serious expression, and there was a majesty of his own.

The two nodded in agreement. Ermao even raised his hand and swore that he didn't even tell his father and mother, it felt like a child playing at home. But Lin Ziyuan doesn't see it that way: this place, you can attack and retreat, you can defend, and you can also monitor the past situation of pedestrians on the big stone stone from a distance, it is really not good, and you can also retreat from the back of the cave to the vast mountain, this is an ideal hiding cave.

Huzi circled the cave twice, whining in his mouth, raising his legs to pee at the entrance of the cave, and following the three of them without looking back.
