Chapter Ninety-Nine: Waiting
Looking at Cailian's innocent face, Su Muling's face was red. Sure enough, it was a misunderstanding, and the family treated them as a small couple.
Su Muling blushed, but Wei Huaian couldn't help but laugh.
"Cailian, she's my cousin, we're not the relationship you think."
"Huh?" Cailian screamed, covered her face and ran away.
The corners of Wei Huai'an's mouth kept cracking, pressed Su Muling on the bed, took out the medicine powder and cotton cloth given by Uncle Zhou, cleaned her wounds again, and bandaged them again.
"You can sleep peacefully, and the wound will heal in a few days." Wei Huai'an packed up the medicine bottle and got up to leave.
"The ...... of the Prince"
"Shh Wei Huai'an glanced at the door and whispered. "Don't call these useless names when you're out of the house. Since then, we have been called cousins. I call you Ling'er, you call me Huai'anke, okay? ”
Su Muling knew that he didn't want people to be uncomfortable because of his status as the son, so he nodded in agreement.
At this time, Ah Zi came in from outside and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I thought you were ...... Hehe, that's it. I immediately cleaned up the Westinghouse, and Wei Gongzi lived in the Westinghouse. ”
After Ah Zi finished speaking, he also entered the Westinghouse like a wind. Ah Ziren is tall and big, and he is in a hurry, and he will clean up the Westinghouse after a while.
Wei Huai'an entered the house, took off his clothes and almost fell asleep with his pillow.
……
After living in the Zhou family, Wei Huai'an lived quite comfortably, following the harvest up the mountain and down the river every day, hunting and fishing, and the Zhou family's dinner table was indispensable to the game he and the harvest received.
In just a few days, he got to know more than half of the people in the village, and all the people in the village took the initiative to greet him when they saw him. Wei Shizi has a better presence in this village than in the palace.
Su Muling recovered from his injuries and began to think about how to get out of here. She found out from Ah Zi that this place was called Immortal Island, and it was the smallest of the hundred and ten islands around.
"Aunt Zi, hasn't anyone in the village ever gone out from here?"
One day after dinner, Su Muling helped Ah Zi clean up, sat in the yard and held the big orange cat in his arms, and watched Ah Zi dry the fish while petting the cat.
She fell into the sea without a trace, and Daddy didn't know how anxious he was, maybe he thought she was up, and she had to go back from here as soon as possible.
"I heard that the older generation came in from the mountains from the west, and no one has ever thought of going out for so many years, and no one remembers the road they took."
The first group of them to come in has passed away, and the new generation has only heard about it, but none of them have actually gone out.
"Can you see the whole island from the top of this mountain?"
Wei Huai'an narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the mountain opposite.
There are only two ways to get out of here, one is to build your own ship, and the other is to wait for the ship to pass by. There are too many issues to consider in shipbuilding, and he chooses to wait for the ship. The village is surrounded by mountains, and passing ships can only be seen by climbing to a high height.
"This ......" Ah Zi looked at the opposite mountain, she really hadn't climbed it.
"Yes, Daddy and I often go up the mountain, and there's one of our treehouses at the top of the mountain."
Fengshou excitedly came out of the house and sat down against Wei Huai'an. Since Wei Huai'an moved into the Zhou family, Fengshou has always followed him with adoring eyes like a fart.
"Treehouse? Great, can you show me there? Wei Huai'an's eyes also flashed with hope.
"No problem."
There was a spring under the buttocks of the harvest, and it suddenly jumped up. ran to his room, took out two pairs of bows and arrows, and handed them to Wei Huai'an.
"On the way, we can also meet hares and pheasants, so we just happened to catch a few by the way, and they were roasted and eaten."
"Is the mountain road easy to walk? I'd like to check it out too. ”
Su Muling stayed here like an arrow, and when he heard that he could see a ship coming from afar on the mountain, he suddenly felt hope in his heart.
"It's easy to walk. But sister, you ......" Fengshou looked at Su Muling's thin arms and legs, and he didn't dare to guarantee whether she could climb up.
"Sister Su, I'll go with you." Seeing that Su Muling also wanted to go, Cailian offered to accompany her.
Cailian and Fengshou are twins, and Cailian is the older sister. On weekdays, neither of them obeys anyone, and when they see the harvest and hesitate, Cailian wants to bring Su Muling. As a result, a team of four people was formed in an instant.
Wei Huai'an and Fengshou carried bows and arrows on their backs. Su Muling also held the crutch she used when she was injured, and this is the best way to climb the mountain. Cailian is holding a sharp scythe.
The sun on the autumn afternoon shone warmly on their bodies, and they walked along a sheep's intestine path for less than an hour, and Wei Huai'an carried Su Muling half the way and finally reached the top of the mountain.
The top of the mountain is flat, and beyond that there is a cliff. Beneath the cliffs is a wide stretch of beach. The whole village is surrounded on all sides by such mountains, so it is unlikely that people from outside want to enter the village. Unless, as they did when they came, they found the hole.
At the top of the mountain, a small tree house is supported in the middle of several stout trees, and the sea is boundless.
"Harvest, your father built this tree?" Su Muling climbed down from Wei Huai'an's back and walked towards the treehouse in surprise.
"That's what I came here with my dad when I was a kid and begged my dad to ask for it." Fengshou opened the door first and let everyone in.
It's a small hut, but there are beds, tables and chairs in it, and although they are all smaller, they look cute.
From the corner of the treehouse, there is a staircase leading to the roof, and you can see the island at a glance when you look out from the roof.
"What a great place!" Wei Huai'an couldn't help but praise.
If I could, I would love to live here for the rest of my life.
"Brother Wei, look at that road, you can go around the village, and we can also go around the mountain and go directly back to our house."
Fengshou excitedly introduced to Wei Huai'an, and several people walked along the road pointed by Fengshou to familiarize themselves with the terrain, and finally came down the mountain along a trail near their home, and they also beat a few hares on the way.
On the same day, Wei Huai'an announced that he would move to a tree house on the mountain in the future, so that he could observe the passing ships, and if there were ships docked, he could also find out as soon as possible.
Wei Huai'an asked Fengshou to help him get a rope more than ten zhang long, and if necessary, he would use the rope to go down the cliff. After all, it takes too much time to get back to the beach the way you came, and you might miss out on the chance to get home.
Although the Zhou family did not agree with Wei Huai'an's move, after all, the tree house was not suitable for long-term living, and Wei Huai'an did not know how long it would take to meet passing ships. But there was no better way to send them back, so he could only silently prepare all the necessities for him.
On the second day, Fengshou and his father Baoxing carried a load of daily necessities and sent Wei Huai'an up the mountain.
Su Muling also wanted to follow, but there was only one room there, and it was not convenient to share a room with Wei Huai'an, so he had to stay at the bottom of the mountain, hoping that Wei Huai'an could bring back good news every day.
Life in the village is as calm as flowing water, and more than half a month has passed. Wei Huai'an has been living in the treehouse and has never returned.
On this day, Baoxing and Fengshou were going to the mountains to deliver rice and noodles to Wei Huai'an, and Su Muling proposed to follow.
These days, she follows Ah Zi up the mountains and down the fields, as long as Ah Zi can do it, she will do it. For more than half a month, her originally fair face was sunburned, and under the offering of coarse tea and light rice, there was meat on her face. She also has home-cooked side dishes at her fingertips, looking at her skillful work, I don't know that I think she is a native village girl.
Following behind Baoxing and Fengshou, Su Muling didn't use the help of others this time, and climbed to the top of the mountain by himself.
Under the tree house, Su Muling happily called Wei Huai'an's name and climbed up the stairs.
"Huai'an, we've come to see you, Huai'an......"
Su Muling opened the door and was immediately frightened by the scene in the house.
Inside, chairs were knocked over and teacups shattered. Wei Huai'an curled up on the ground, his face pale and unconscious.
"Huai'an? Wyan? What happened to you? Wake up, wake up......"
Su Muling felt that her heart was about to jump out, she knelt on the ground and shook him vigorously, screaming in panic.
Baoxing and Fengshou heard Su Muling's screams, threw down their burdens, and ran in.
Baoxing looked at Wei Huai'an's bare calves, and saw two black and purple tooth marks on them, and the skin around them was red and swollen.
"Brother Wei was bitten by a poisonous snake."
Harvest picked up a small green snake from the corner of the house that had lost its breath.
