Qin Yining originally thought that the place where he was hiding was remote and barren enough, but he didn't expect that the place where Xiaolian lived was even farther.

The two of them held hands and walked in the darkness in the woods shaded by the moonlight. Xiaolian seemed to have long been accustomed to such a situation, deliberately slowed down and waited for Qin Yining, and when she encountered a place that was difficult to walk, she took the initiative to pull her to climb.

After walking like this for almost half an hour, Qin Yining saw a wooden house.

The wooden house is simple, but also delicate, using the technique of mortise and tenon, the semi-circular timbers are placed on top of each other, and from the front, it looks like two huge planks are poking each other into a "human" shape on the ground, and from the side it is rectangular.

"The house, uncle's doing." Xiaolian's dirty little face was full of pride.

Qin Yining touched her shiny and messy hair, and said with a smile: "Uncle is a very smart and powerful person. ”

She was able to take a child and build a house by herself, and when she looked closely, the whole wooden house was not built with a single nail, but with mortise and tenon joints. The fact that a man can build such an elaborate house is a testament to his strength and wisdom.

Qin Yining pinched Xiaolian's soft little face again.

This little girl's life experience is extraordinary.

Otherwise, he would not have hid alone in the deep mountains and old forests with such a capable man, and that man had died with the three Zhou Dynasty soldiers two hours away from here.

Qin Yining was a little embarrassed.

Xiaolian had already stepped on the snow at this time to the door of the house, lifted the animal skin that covered the door, pushed the door open, blinked her big black and bright eyes and smiled and gestured, inviting Qin Yining into the house.

Qin Yining came back to his senses and immediately followed her into the door.

It was pitch black in the wooden house, and in the blink of an eye, Xiaolian ran away, and then Qin Yining heard the sound of wood rubbing.

Qin Yining took out the fire fold and blew it up, and found that Xiaolian was squatting on the ground, with a pair of small hands clasped together, holding a sharpened small wooden stick, rubbing in the groove of another piece of wood, and some thin hay was placed in the groove of the wood, which was splashed by the sparks she rubbed, and the hay was immediately extinguished.

Xiaolian carefully used two wooden sticks to pick up the handful of dry grass that had been extinguished and placed it under the earthen stove with firewood, and the fire brightened.

Xiaolian stood up and pointed to the fire on the ground, "Nuan Nuan." ”

Immediately, her big eyes suddenly widened, because she saw the fire fold in Qin Yining's hand.

"Fire?"

Qin Yining nodded. With a smile, he covered the fire fold and handed it to Xiaolian, "Give it to you." ”

"Give it to me?" Xiaolian happily took it and pulled off the lid.

Qin Yining taught her how to ignite it.

Xiaolian was like a treasure, and carefully put the fire fold into her arms, and when she looked at Qin Yining again, her eyes lit up with joy.

Qin Yining could see that Xiaolian really liked her.

Such a simple and kind child, with the clearest heart, is trying to contact this world that is not full of kindness.

Maybe she has been alone in the mountains for too long, and when she sees her kind, she can't help but give her food to show her okay?

Qin Yining took Xiaolian's hand and sat down by the bonfire.

She couldn't help but feel a little lucky, it was her who met her today. If it is a person with a bad heart, Xiaolian is so simple, I am afraid that it will be dangerous.

You know, the evil of the human heart is greater than that of wild beasts.

Xiaolian stood up at this time, picked up a dirty quilt from a pile of messy things in the corner of the wall, and brought the quilt over like a treasure, and piled it in front of Qin Yining.

"Sister, Nuan Nuan."

Looking at the dirty quilt that couldn't see its true color, and then looking at the child's bright eyes, Qin Yining was so sad that he almost cried.

She smiled and nodded, unfolded the quilt, pulled Xiaolian to sit down beside her, and put the quilt on the two of them.

Xiaolian laughed happily and stretched out her little dirty hand to warm up on the bonfire.

This night, Qin Yining was much more comfortable than yesterday.

Because of the wooden house, with a campfire, a dirty quilt, and a drooling child slumped next to her, she slept in perfect peace, and no longer feared that wild beasts would suddenly come and eat her.

At dawn the next day, Qin Yining woke up with a cough, she felt that her cold was a little aggravated, but it was still within the tolerable range.

When I sat up, I found that although the room had no windows and only one door, it was not completely dark.

She looked up at the light source and saw a skylight the size of a bowl on the roof.

Looking left and right, I didn't see Xiaolian, I don't know where the child went.

But this room is really dirty and messy! The dust on the floor is estimated to be three inches thick!

Qin Yining stood up and looked around, although there was no furniture in the wooden house, but there was a fire kang on the original ground, but the fire kang was not finished.

In addition to the unfinished ondol, Qin Yining also found a dirty burden piled up in the corner.

The bag was unwrapped, and several of the men's clothes were scattered around.

Qin Yining squatted down to check it out, and found that among these clothes, there was actually a four-grade military general costume of the Northern Hebei Kingdom!

The military uniforms of the Northern Ji Kingdom are very distinctive, with a large red round neck and narrow sleeves, leather soft armor and a palm-wide cowhide belt.

Qin Yining's face became solemn.

It seems that the "uncle" mentioned in Xiaolian's mouth is a fourth-grade military general in the Northern Hebei Kingdom.

So Xiaolian's life experience must not be simple!

Qin Yining admired this general who hid in the mountains with Xiaolian.

She didn't know that they had come a few years ago, but judging by the extent of the corpse's decomposing clothes, he had been dead for at least three or four years, and Xiaolian was now nine years old, that is, when the uncle took Xiaolian to hide in the mountains, Xiaolian was only five or six years old.

What is the power that can make a military general, with a little girl of five or six years old, hide in the mountains, build a house, feed this child, and protect her from pursuit?

Qin Yining put away all the clothes and rewrapped them in the baggage. After tidying up the mess in the house, I took a rag, wrapped it in the snow outside, heated it on the fire and melted it, and then cleaned it up.

After repeating it several times and throwing away a few rags, Qin Yining wiped out the original wooden floor.

However, it was only after she had dusted off that she noticed an inconspicuous gap in the floor near the corner.

Confused, she walked over and plunged her dagger into the gap twice. Unexpectedly, the square floor was pried off, and a square wooden box was placed underneath.

Qin Yining took out the wooden box suspiciously.

The wooden box was very weighty, and she couldn't help but guess what was inside.

When the lid of the box was opened, a letter was placed on it, and the words "Jinxuan Qinqi" were written on it.

Qin Yining picked up the letter, and when he saw the object placed underneath, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

This is a large seal made of jade, and the most different time, the seal is carved with a coiled dragon!

Qin Yining picked up the big seal with the size of the man's fist, and when he saw the four seals engraved on it, he was really shocked.

This is clearly a jade seal! It is the jade seal of the Northern Hebei Kingdom that has been destroyed by the Great Zhou for four years!
