Chapter 293: Little Porridge (1)

Qin Yining chased forward a few steps, but her movements were not as fast as the other party's, so she could only watch the back of the child wearing animal skin disappear into the bushes.

This barren mountain is inaccessible, even hunters will not go to this kind of place when hunting, how can there be a seven or eight-year-old child?

Is there a village around here?

Qin Yining was puzzled, but in the blink of an eye, his attention was attracted by the hare on the ground.

It was a somewhat fat gray rabbit, and the fur on its body had been roughly treated and roasted over a fire, but apparently the person who roasted the rabbit was not skillful, and it was actually roasted with blood, and the internal organs were not washed.

Qin Yining guessed that this should be the handiwork of the child just now, and secretly wondered when the child found her, but Qin Yining was sure that the child was not hostile to her, because the habits she had developed over the years did not find the slightest hostility from that child, not to mention that if there was really hostility, the other party would not give her such precious food.

Qin Yining carried the rabbit and walked away with a dagger, carefully processed the rabbit's internal organs, and cut off the charred fur and buried it in the snow along with the internal organs, so as not to attract other beasts to the smell of blood. Then he carefully washed the rabbit meat and his own hands with snow. The dirty snow was re-buried before returning with the properly handled rabbits.

The fire was no longer so prosperous, so Qin Yining went to pick up some firewood again.

Now she has a machete and a dagger, which makes it much easier to chop wood, and she also uses a knife to cut off the part of the firewood that is wet with snow, so that there is much less smoke.

Qin Yining threaded the rabbit with a branch, sandwiched it on the fire and roasted it carefully.

Although there was no salt, the burnt aroma of the roasted meat still caused her stomach to churn, and after two days of hunger, she ate a roast frog with little meat, in fact, she was already very hungry.

At this moment, Qin Yining heard the rustle of small animals moving in the snow again.

She looked up at the source of the sound and saw a small figure crouching behind the bushes.

Xu took a look just now, but the child didn't run away as soon as he saw her, but cautiously squatted and moved forward, stretched his neck and wrinkled his dirty face, and kept twitching his little nose to smell the aroma of roasted rabbits.

Qin Yining couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.

"Is that you, is this the rabbit you caught?" Qin Yining was roasting the rabbit while waving at the child.

The child seemed startled by the sound of her sudden speech, and looked at her blankly with big bright eyes.

Qin Yining was a little puzzled.

This kid looks like she's seven or eight years old, so he should be able to understand her, right?

But living in such a deep mountain, maybe what kind of people don't communicate with the outside world? What if he couldn't understand her?

Qin Yining used a dagger to cut off a piece of meat that had been roasted, and stretched out his hand to hand it to the child: "This is for you to eat." I was afraid that she didn't understand, so I made a comparison.

At this moment, the child finally understood, ran over like a nimble little monkey, squatted beside Qin Yining, and carefully grabbed the meat inserted in the tip of the knife with his little dirty hands.

Qin Yining was taken aback by him, for fear of cutting his hand, and hurriedly retracted.

"Cut you carefully."

She took the meat off and handed it to him.

The child was disappointed that she didn't give him meat, but now when he saw her feed the barbecue meat with a hand like white jade, he was as happy as a puppy, and swallowed the meat in one bite, and his big eyes narrowed.

Qin Yining was amused by his funny behavior, and couldn't help asking, "Do you live here?" ”

The kid stared at the roast rabbit and nodded.

Qin Yining was overjoyed when she saw this, this kid could understand her words!

"What's your name? How old are you? ”

The child was still staring at the rabbit.

Qin Yining used a knife to slice all the meat that had been cooked on the surface and gave it to the child to eat.

The child ate very deliciously, as if he hadn't eaten for a long time, his mouth was full of oil, and his eyebrows and eyes were crooked when he smiled.

Seeing him like this, Qin Yining was a little distressed, and asked again, "What about your family?" ”

"Make, make, make."

This time, the child actually spoke!

Just with this opening, Qin Yining discovered the problem. The child's voice was a little hoarse after not speaking for a long time, and his pronunciation was very stiff, as if speaking was an extremely difficult thing for him.

"Are you saying that your family is dead?" Qin Yining fed him another piece of meat.

The child nodded as he chewed, pointed in a certain direction, and then pointed to a sword in Qin Yining's hand.

Qin Yining was stunned.

She remembered the four bodies.

Three wore the military uniforms of the Zhou Dynasty, and one wore civilian clothes, and it can be seen that they are all men's corpses, and they are still killed with one enemy and three together. Judging by the rot of the clothing, the four men had been dead for at least three or four years.

Qin Yining looked at the child with pity: "Is there anyone else in your family?" ”

The child shook his head.

"So, where do you live? How old are you this year? What is your name? ”

The child pointed in one direction again, rusty and intermittently and said, "Live, house, nine years old, called, Xiaolian." ”

"Your name is Xiaolian? Is it the lotus of the lotus? Qin Yining looked at the child carefully, because the child was young and dirty, and he couldn't tell whether he was a boy or a girl just by looking at his appearance.

Xiaolian nodded, "Lotus, in the jar, there is, Lotus, my name." ”

Qin Yining smiled and nodded, it seems that this is a little girl.

Qin Yining's hands kept moving, and he gave her another piece of meat.

Even if it is this kind of meat without salt, she eats it very fragrantly, and she tries hard to express: "It's delicious, it's better than my grill, it's delicious." ”

Qin Yining was distressed when he heard this: "Do you eat barbecue meat by yourself on weekdays?" ”

Xiaolian nodded, pointed in the direction where Qin Yining found the corpse, and continued: "Uncle (died)." ”

Qin Yining understood a little.

The man who was killed by the three Zhou Dynasty people was the child's only relative. With no relatives, she can only eat her own roasted half-cooked prey to satisfy her hunger.

Qin Yining thought of the half-baked rabbit that Xiaolian secretly gave her just now, and knew that this child must have been eating such things all these years.

She couldn't help but pet her head lovingly.

A nine-year-old child has been living alone in this deep mountain forest for three or four years!

If she hadn't met it, it would have been fine, but if they did, she couldn't ignore it anymore.

Thinking of this, Qin Yining made up his mind: "Xiaolian, can you take me to your house?" ”

Xiaolian nodded happily, stretched out her little dirty hand and grabbed Qin Yining's hand, "Go, go." ”

Qin Yining immediately laughed, ate the remaining rabbit meat casually, broke off the rabbit legs for Xiaolian to nibble and play, then extinguished the bonfire, buried it with snow, and took the weapons she picked up and followed Xiaolian to the mountains.
