Chapter 7 Giving or Receiving
Guogong's daughter disappeared, this is a big deal, but it is also an ugly thing, Chen Guogong didn't make a noise, just sent people to look for it quietly, thinking that such a small female doll would not run far away, at most it would just hide, and it would naturally come out when it was almost dark.
But it wasn't until the sky got dark, the surroundings were pitch black, and there was still no shadow of Qingqiu, so Chen Guogong and his wife got anxious and sent people to look around with torches, but they turned over the house, searched for it all night, and found it until dawn, and there was no trace of Qingqiu.
Where can an eight-year-old girl go in Qingqiu? It turned out that she was holding the broken bow, and she carefully dropped those tails alone, and walked towards her secret base.
When she was six years old, when she was hunting with her father Chen Guogong, she accidentally found a very hidden cave.
The cave is not big, but it is very clean, as if someone has hollowed out a huge stone from the middle, like the shape of an eggshell, and the best thing is that there is a rose hanging from the outside of the hole, and the vines cover the hole tightly, not only can people not find it, but the thorns on the rose body also prevent wild beasts from breaking in.
Since wild beasts are afraid of thorns, why isn't the delicate Qingqiu afraid? It's just because she's smart! One day, taking advantage of the kitchen's inattention, she quietly took out a pot lid, like a shield, and there was a handle on it, enough to block the whole body.
Later, she would often sneak there alone with the wild fruits she had picked, and she had also treated a baby squirrel with a wounded leg and a little white rabbit with a clip put by a hunter.
Every time the natural barrier of the rose was lifted, it was effortless, and when it was finished, the lid of the pot was raised to a large tree, and the leaves were used to cover it, and for several years, no one discovered the secret.
And on this day, when she appeared in the mountains and forests with tears streaming down her face, carrying a broken bow that had been burned black, wearing a shallow pink dress, and had been quietly followed all the way here.
Qingqiu came to the big camphor tree, put the bow on the ground, loosened a kudzu vine in the grass, raised his head to look up at the canopy, and saw a pot lid slowly falling.
Qingqiu wiped a handful of tears with the back of his hand, removed the lid of the pot, and then quickly tied the kudzu vine in a knot and hung it on a branch.
Only then did he hold the lid of the pot in one hand, lift the broken bow in the other, and walk towards the rose bush next to him. I saw that she lifted the rose tip deftly like her hair, used the lid to block the rose thorn, bowed her body, flashed lightly, and then let go of the hand blocked by the lid of the pot, and the rose tip trembled slightly a few times, and returned to its original state.
I only stunned the people who followed behind, stood beside the cave for a long time, and suddenly hooked my lips and smiled, and whispered a wonderful word. Then he reached behind his back, drew his sword, pulled the rose branch through a crack, and dodged into it.
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, and the head was hit with a pot lid, and the man only felt that his eyes were full of gold stars, and he fainted in the hole.
When he woke up again, he found that his hands were tied behind his back.
"Hey, little girl, we have no grudges, why did you beat me and tie me up?"
The man tried to untie the rope with both hands on his back, but he didn't expect it to be tied so tightly that he couldn't untie it at all, it seems that he underestimated this little girl, it's not ordinary!
Qingqiu looked at the young man lying at his feet, he looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, looking at his length, it should be more than six feet, with a good-looking skin, his face seemed to be bright and bright, and his narrow eyes were shining, and even the angry look seemed to be smiling at the moment, Qingqiu was thinking, if they hadn't met in this situation, I was afraid that he might have been infatuated with these eyes, he looked so innocent, but he didn't expect to do the trick of stalking.
Qingqiu poked the man's arm with a branch, his big watery eyes narrowed slightly, and his fan-like eyelashes trembled slightly like butterfly wings.
"Who are you? Why do you want to follow this girl, what is your intention? ”
The man blinked his innocent eyes and said innocently, "Why do you say that I am following you!" Is this mountain forest your home? ”
"Then is this mountain forest your home again?" Qingqiu pursed her ruddy little mouth and retorted.
"At a young age, you were almost shot by me as a prey, do you know?"
There was no blame in the man's tone, on the contrary, it made Qingqiu hear a trace of worry, and then looked at his eyes, and he didn't see any malice, could it be that he was just hunting in the mountains?
Qingqiu's unconscious tone softened.
"So, you're hunting in the mountains?"
"Yes, I was chasing a rabbit, and it was gone in a blink of an eye, and suddenly I found a pink object intruding into my sight, and I was still thinking about what kind of little animal had such a beautiful fur, so I didn't shoot arrows with a bow, and when I got closer, I found that you were a little girl crying and crying and walking towards this side, and I saw that you were holding a bow in your hand, or a blackened broken bow, so I was curious to follow you and want to find out. By the way, don't you girls like sachet dolls or stuff like that? Why do you lift your bow? ”
Obviously, he was not angry just now, but when he heard the man's words, Qingqiu's little peach cheeks were swollen like a goldfish's gills at the moment, and he glanced at him with cold eyes, raised his head arrogantly, and looked out of the cave with slanted eyes.
"Who said that only boys can play with bows, so girls don't want to play? Why are you all like my mother? ”
The man was good at observing his face, and immediately saw the wind and rudder, opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows: "Of course you can play, who said you can't play?" Little sister, I will support you to play with bows and arrows, otherwise why would you have so much effort to tie people up? In case you meet a bad guy, you can still defend yourself, right? ”
When the innocent Qingqiu heard this, he saw the man speaking from his own position, and immediately expressed his approval, and turned his head to look at the man.
"Well, that's it, but my mother doesn't listen, and always says that's not what a girl should be." After Qingqiu finished speaking, his mouth was so pouting that he could cross the river.
"Little sister, listen to me, I'm really not a bad person, my name is Ji Lin, and I am the proton sent to Chen Guo by Xiguo. I met you on a hunting trip to the mountains today, and it is considered that we are fated to do so, can you untie my wrists, it hurts to tie it like this. Ji Lin pretended to be in pain.
"Really? Does it hurt? When the kind-hearted Qingqiu heard this, his brows frowned slightly, and he squatted down to inspect Ji Lin's wrist.
It can be seen that Qingqiu is a kind-hearted good girl, her smile is so cute in Ji Lin's eyes, and she can't help but praise her.
"Of course, you don't know how strong you are."
Qingqiu found that Ji Lin's wrist was really strangled red.
"Alright! But this kudzu vine is too soft, and I can keep getting it. Qingqiu bit her little finger in her mouth, thinking that it shouldn't have been tied so tightly just now, and it was really nerve-wracking to untie it at this time.
"Come, draw my sword and cut it, by the way, be careful, don't cut your hand!"
Listening to Ji Lin's words, Qingqiu actually felt a trace of warmth, at this time, he was not fierce and evil, but gentle and gentle, not to say don't cut his hands, but to remind himself not to hurt his hands, and suddenly had a good impression of him in his heart.
Qingqiu pulled out the sword from Ji Lin's back, carefully cut the kudzu on his wrist, put the sword aside, held his hand to check the injury, and saw that it was only a red mark, which was fine, and said that it was okay, so he retracted his hand with confidence.
And Ji Lin, whose hands were liberated, grabbed Qingqiu's retracted hand and spread it out in his palm.
"Bold thief, what are you doing?" Qingqiu realized that men and women could not kiss, so he quickly retracted his hand, his little face suddenly turned like a red apple, and he angrily picked up the sword on the ground and held it in his hand.
