Xiao Qiniang hurriedly pushed her daughter away and chased after her.

When everyone heard An Lan's words, they all suddenly realized, and someone privately lowered their voices and said: "When Xiao Rui and his mother married into our Xinghua Village, they brought a large box of dowry, and some people said that it contained valuable gold and silver treasures. ”

"I remember that Xiao Qiniang was the most attentive to Xiao Rui and his mother at that time, and her sister called her before and after her sister, and taught her to work in the field."

At this time, Xiao Rui was carrying Yaoluo, and the onlookers outside hurriedly dispersed, and no one dared to talk about his mother in front of Xiao Rui, which was Xiao Rui's heart knot.

Once when someone was discussing his mother and Xiao Qiniang in front of him, he pressed them into the paddy field, and beat the other party for seven days and couldn't get out of bed, and then no one dared to say it in front of him.

An Lan put away the axe and returned to the courtyard.

Xiao Rui walked up to her and said, "Lan'er, I have to go into the mountain, and I'll be back early tomorrow." ”

"What are you doing in the mountains?" An Lan saw that he was in a hurry just now, and guessed that the situation in Lao Langzhong was probably not very good.

Xiao Rui said: "Dad needs a medicine, there is no medicine in the medicine hall anymore, and now I am afraid that it will be closed when I go to the town, but there is one in the mountains." ”

"You wait." An Lan took the axe back to the kitchen, then brought the ginseng soup into the medicine hall, and then explained some things to Xiao Liu, and then ran back to Xiao Rui's side quickly.

"Xiao Rui, I'll go with you, the deep mountains are steep and steep, you always have a lot of inconvenience alone, let's go early and go back early, next door...... I won't be causing trouble for a while. "If the old lady is shrewd, she will not let Xiao Qiniang come again, I hope this old lady will not let her down again.

Xiao Rui frowned: "You want to go with it?" ”

"I can also climb the cliff and go down the river, don't underestimate me." She took a torch made of bamboo from him, and there was a circle of paper at the top of the torch, which was soaked in diesel, but it would not be easily extinguished when the wind blew for a long time.

Xiao Rui nodded "um".

When the two of them went out, they asked Xiaoliu to come out and bolt the courtyard door.

……

It was already dark, and when they entered the mountain, it became even darker.

From time to time, the voices of flying birds and beasts came.

Xiao Rui held An Lan in one hand and a wooden stick in the other, using the wooden stick to explore the way ahead, and every time he walked a section, he could see a beast clip, and they would make a detour.

Sometimes he accidentally touched the mechanism of the beast clip, so Xiao Rui picked it up and threw it into the medicine frame.

An Lan asked puzzledly, "What are you going to do here?" ”

"At night, there are many jackals, and it is not the best to meet them, but if you accidentally encounter them, they may come in handy." Xiao Rui's voice was particularly bright and low in this quiet mountain.

An Lan looked up at the torch in his hand and said, "Don't be afraid, wolves are afraid of fire." ”

After walking for a while, they came to the cliff where they had met before.

Xiao Rui said: "It's here, I have to go down, you wait for me above, I will come up soon." ”

He handed her the stick in his hand, then took out the trap from the medicine box, looked around, and placed it next to the haystack beside it.

Then, he returned to her, took out the rope from the medicine box, tied it to the tree not far away, and threw the rope towards the cliff.

He grabbed the rope and was about to jump down, but An Lan quickly grabbed his clothes and said, "Fire." ”

"No, you don't." After enlisting in the army, he participated in rigorous elite guard training, and his night vision was better than that of ordinary people.
