The majestic green mountains, like creeping giant beasts, are interspersed with the river between the two mountains, like a curved jade belt, bypassing the nine bends and eighteen bends, and meandering to the distance. The river water is clear, and from a distance, it looks like refreshing amber, but when you look down the boat floating down the river, it is clear and clear, and you can see the fish swimming indifferently underwater.

The mountain peaks are emerald green, reflected in the gentle river water, and the thousands of peaks are emerald and continuous, more like the guards of this clear water. The boat was brisk, going down the river, and no one was driving the boat to float freely. At the bow of the boat, a small horse stands on the edge of the boat, and a boy in a sky-blue robe sits on it, holding a fishing rod made of spotted bamboo. Leisurely fishing, the river is leisurely, not rushing or slow, this section of the river is wide, and the water flow is not urgent. That's why this son can be so leisurely, if he is in another section of the river where the water is turbulent, he probably doesn't have this mind.

In the cabin, two little girls dressed as two maids, one was lying on the soft couch in the cabin, and the other was busy, cleaning up the mess inside. No one expected that one of these two little girls would be seasick. And the seasickness is not Xiao Tianxiang who has never been on a boat, but the red sleeves who grew up on the boat. I have always been accustomed to the gentle environment in the Qujiang Pond, and the slow and light fluttering suddenly turned into a violent bump on the river, which made the originally confident red sleeves suddenly lose their color. The wind and waves on the river were high, so that this sixteen-year-old girl had a situation on the first day, and she vomited in the cabin in the dark, and Xiao Tianxiang drove Li Kuan out. Clean up inside.

The little girl was wearing a moon-white skirt embroidered with a light red dragonfly pattern, with two goat braids on her little head and two pink bows tied on the tips of the horns. Small hands grasp the rag. Cleaning up the remaining stains on the ground, although the smell made her cute little nose, she just frowned and endured. There was not the slightest complaint, and even occasionally there was a hint of sympathy in the eyes that floated past the soft couch: 'Sister Red-sleeved is so pitiful! ’

The clear and mournful sound came out in the mountains and forests on both sides of the riverbank, like a cuckoo crying blood, which made the face of the little girl who was busy with green flashes a trace of horror. She had never heard such a voice before. But it made her feel an inexplicable fear in her heart, what kind of voice is this, so terrifying! Endure the feeling of fear. The little girl grabbed the rag in her hand. The movements of his hands are more forceful, as if he wants to use this method to relieve the fear in his heart. But the sound from outside the ship continued one after another, and it seemed to follow the small boat like a maggot on the tarsal bones.

Li Kuan also frowned. These are supposed apes. screaming so ugly, he turned his head to look at the cabin, and saw the little girl who was still busy with green, and the bumpy figure lying on the couch, staring at it, although the red sleeves and eyebrows were still wrinkled, but it did not deteriorate further. I feel a little relieved, and it's good that I wasn't scared. It's just that he didn't notice. The small, seemingly normal figure, the knuckles of the small hand clutching the rag had turned pale and bloodless because of the clenching. Turn your head. Continue to stare at the river, watch the leisurely swimming fish in the water, and continue your fishing career.

The sky is gradually darkening, the boat is going down the river, and I don't know where it is going to drift, Li Kuan did not have a scheduled destination when he came out this time, where he went, anyway, his plan can be implemented no matter where he is, so he did not deliberately move in that direction. As the sun sets, the river is covered with a scarlet red, and the ripples glow with golden light. Stars appeared in the sky, and their eyes flashed there, looking at the vast beings on the earth with those eternal eyes, without the slightest malice or pity. Li Kuan stood up and lifted the wooden bucket beside him, which was his harvest today, a few greedy swimming fish that were caught. Picking up the oars that were swinging beside him, he put them in the slot on the edge of the boat and paddled towards the shore. There are low jungles on both sides of the riverbank, and it is still possible to dock their small painting boat.

Swinging through the reeds, startling a few waterfowl that had already returned to their nests, the oars lapping on the water, the sound of the noise calmed the people in the cabin a lot.

Jumping off the boat, Li Kuan tied the reins to a small tree on the shore, then walked on the boat, and instructed the little girl in the cabin: "Tianxiang, the master is going to find some dry firewood to come back, you stay on the boat and take care of the red sleeves, do you know?" ”

Xiao Tianxiang has always been firmly supportive of Li Kuan's orders, so although she was still a little scared in her heart, she also nodded obediently: "Master, Tianxiang knows, come back early!" The little girl's voice trembled slightly, but she still said strongly, although she was afraid, because the mountains on the shore were black and seemed to hide the demon who liked to eat children, which made her want to be with her master. But looking at the red sleeves lying on the couch with an uncomfortable look, she still nodded and agreed, but only made a small request, hoping that Li Kuan would come back soon.

"Got it! Do you want to stay on the ship obediently? Li Kuan rubbed the pigtails on her head, then lifted a horizontal knife in the cabin and strode away.

"Woo............" Li Kuan left, there were only two little girls left in the cabin, and the shadow of the green lantern candle like a broad bean, and the sound of ape crying and complaining from the shore was like the cry of a ghost. At this moment, it seems even more terrifying. Frightened, Xiao Tianxiang's face turned pale, and she unconsciously came to the edge of the soft couch, grabbed the succumb of the red sleeves who were still sleeping, hoping to get a trace of warmth.

One after another, time passed extremely slowly at this moment, every trill in the ape's cry was clear and clear, the surrounding insects did not have a cheerful chirp, the whirring wind passed through the forest, this qiē seemed so frightening, the residual lamp was like a bean, swaying in the slight river breeze, and it seemed that it would be blown out at any time. The uproar of the river has added a lot of horror.

"Woo woo......" The little girl's face turned pale, her hands held the little hand tightly in her hand, feeling the body temperature of the red sleeves to drive away the fear in her heart a little, but she still let out a whining sob. She originally thought that she was very strong and could stand up until her master came back, but now she realized that she was a timid little girl. She misses her master so much now, and hopes that Li Kuan can come back now to help her eliminate this inexplicable fear.

But she waited and waited. I don't know how long it took, but the familiar footsteps still didn't come, but the sound of the ape came closer and closer, as if it was howling from outside the window of the ship to the inside. The hair on her vest stood up, her big eyes were filled with mist, and her small figure was a frightened kitten, curled up in a corner aggrieved. The index finger of one hand was in her mouth and she bit it with its small teeth, because she was afraid. I was afraid that I would cry, so I bit my fingers. At the same time, the one who prayed silently in his heart: 'Come back, Master!' ’

At this time, Li Kuan was in the woods by the river, chopping low shrubs with a horizontal knife. Now is the time for the vegetation to flourish. It's not easy to pick up dry firewood. So I left and searched for a long time before I found these dead shrubs. At the same time, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked at the two hares lying at his feet, fat rabbits. Although it was still the turn of spring and summer, and it was not the fattest time for the hares in autumn, it was not small, enough for the three of them to eat several meals.

Tying up the dead branches on the ground, Li Kuan lifted the two hares. Turned and walked towards the way he came, behind him. It was a dark mountain, and the wail of the apes came out from there, which made this dark time of night a little more indescribable.

"The two of them should be fine, but Red Sleeves is okay, they are both asleep this day, but Xiao Tianxiang doesn't know if she will be afraid?" Li Kuan thought in his heart, and quickened his pace under his feet.

On the boat by the river, Red Sleeves was awakened by a tingling pain in his palm, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the roof of the cabin, low but not oppressive. Turning his head to look at the hand he felt pain in, he grabbed the back of his hand and the other hand, and he was clutched so tightly that the fingernails had sunk into his palm, and that's how the pain came from.

"Ahem......" Red Sleeves opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but his throat was dry but he couldn't speak, only coughed in a low voice. Just as she was about to say something more, there was a sound of footsteps outside the ship.

At this time, Red Sleeves felt a lightness in his hand again, and then a small figure rushed straight out of the boat: "Master, you are back!" ”

The voice was full of surprise, with a slight trilling and crying, and then he cried: "Woo...... Tianxiang is so afraid, master! Hehe...... "Crying and laughing again." It must be oh ah ah played out the contradictory mood in the little girl's heart at this time, the fear and panic before, the joy after seeing Li Kuan, and the relaxation, which made this ten-year-old little Lori love out of control. The tears in the big eyes swayed wantonly, and at this moment, with dependence, he let go of his weakness.

Women, no matter how big or small, are so strange, when there is no one to rely on, they can be stronger than anyone else, face any difficult environment alone, as long as they have to rely on, then their strength will be destroyed in an instant, into the tears that poured down.

Li Kuan looked at the little girl crying in his arms, his face changed a little, you must know that although Xiao Tianxiang is a guy who loves to cry, but she is also a shy little girl, she has never been like this, when she threw herself into her arms, at most she pulled her sleeves and burst into tears. Now that he is so out of shape, he must be extremely scared in his heart. It's just that before leaving, why didn't this little girl say it?

Li Kuan recalled, but remembered Xiao Tianxiang's sentence: 'You come back early' suddenly understood, what can this girl say, it is really distressing and sensible, in order not to embarrass herself, she will embarrass herself. Thinking of this, Li Kuan stretched out his hand and patted the little girl's back gently: "Be good, don't cry!" Our little Tianxiang is so brave, how can she cry her nose? ”

"Hmm!" The little girl agreed in a thick nasal voice, but the sobbing sound in her mouth still couldn't be slowed down.

After that, Li Kuan did not leave again, but lit a bonfire on the shore, let Xiao Tianxiang help down the red sleeves that had been lying down for a day, and then began to wash and peel the two hares he had caught in the forest. Li Kuan himself once again cleaned up the fish that were caught, and all they wanted to eat that night was roast rabbit and grilled fish.

There was no other seasoning, just a layer of green salt, but the three masters and servants ate it with relish. With Li Kuan here, Xiao Tianxiang was no longer afraid of the ape's cry, her little face was roasted red by the bonfire, and she smiled happily. (To be continued......)
