The sunset at dusk is about to set on the mountain, and the residual afterglow of the sunset is lightly sprinkled on this mountain, which seems to be mottled, and Qingshui Village stands in this mountain, receiving the afterglow; The village is not very big, there are only twenty or thirty households, there is a stream in front of the village, surrounded by mountains, located in the middle of nowhere, in the deep mountains, although it belongs to the Northern Regions Dynasty, the jurisdiction of Zhongzhou, but the village is relatively remote, and it is more than half a day's journey from the nearest town, in addition to the sparsely populated area in this area, and it is in a period of war, so few people know it, almost isolated from the world.

In Qingshui Village, in the north, in front of a house on the side, in the yard, Lin Cheng cultivated one foot of a small bench, and his dry hand held a small hammer, knocking it from time to time; His hair has all turned gray, and he has already entered his old age, and his face is full of vicissitudes of life and wrinkles left by the years.

"Qin Yu, Lin Dahai's son at the head of the village is not bad, do you want to think about it?" Stopping the movement in his hand, Lin Cheng put the small hammer on the ground, turned his head to look at the woman who was washing vegetables in the wooden basin not far away, hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively.

The woman who was called Qin Yu, when she heard the words, the action of washing vegetables suddenly stagnated, and she slowly raised her head, and as his head slowly raised, a fair-skinned and extremely beautiful face leaked, and she smiled at the old man, and then slowly shook her head, smiled and explained softly: "Dad, I haven't thought about this, I already have 'Siyu'." ”

Qin Yu smiled, and did not leak a helpless look because he had been asked many times; She is less than thirty years old, but she has a fair-skinned and good-looking face, although she is a little older, her demeanor is not as good as before, but she has a sense of maturity, a plain dress, worn on her, it looks clean and tidy, outlining a moving curve, and her words and deeds give people a sense of virtuousness.

Sighing softly, Lin Cheng was a little helpless and didn't speak.

Qin Yu lowered her head and continued to wash the dishes, she knew very well in her heart that Lin Cheng was thinking about herself, but she already had that person in her heart, as well as his daughter...

"I don't know Lin Yu, have you found Siyu's girl." The atmosphere was a little silent, and Qin Yu changed the subject.

"Ahem, I should be back soon!" Lin Cheng raised his head and looked at the sky, coughed a few times, and said.

Seeing that Lin Cheng suddenly coughed a few times, Qin Yu asked with some concern, "Dad, is your cough better?" Is the medicine I bought for you a few days ago effective? ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's better, I'm sick, that's it! Also, Qin Yu, don't always run out, there will be chaos outside! ”

"Grandpa, aunt!" Qin Yu was about to speak, when the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, Lin Yu walked in, and Xu Siyu followed.

Looking at the small figure behind Lin Yu, Qin Yu frowned lightly, and some stern voices suddenly sounded: "Siyu, don't come over quickly!"

"Mother..."Xu Siyu lowered his head, slowly walked in front of Qin Yu, and called out.

"Qin Yu, it's good that the child is back!" Seeing that Qin Yu was a little angry, Lin Cheng persuaded him.

"Where did you go? Brother Lin Yu is going to find you! Frowning slightly, Qin Yu asked; She has always been strict with this daughter.

"I... Before I went to the village, I got some flowers on the hill and came back, thinking... Plant more in the yard..."Xu Siyu lowered his head, his voice was small, and he was a little choked.

Hearing this, Qin Yu should have been angry, but when he heard the somewhat choked voice, he didn't feel right, and looked at Lin Yu at the gate of the courtyard with an inquiring gaze, only to find that there was some dust on Lin Yu's clothes, and there was a wound on his forehead.

"Auntie, when I arrived, Zhu Ming and the others were bullying her." Seeing Qin Yu looking at him, Lin Yu slowly spoke.

Sighing softly, Qin Yu almost knew the original end of the matter, glanced at Lin Yu gratefully, gently hugged Xu Siyu, who was choking in a low voice, in his arms, looked up at the dark sky, and didn't know what to say for a while, and his heart was mixed;

Since coming here, Qin Yu's excellent appearance has attracted the attention of some men in the village, which has aroused the jealousy of the women in the village, and has been subject to the cynicism of some people in the village, Xu Siyu grew up in this environment, and no friends have been willing to play with her since she was a child, only Lin Yu has also become her introverted and timid character.

"It's not a small wild ......"

The sound of Didi crying from Nan, with gasping and choking, suddenly sounded from his arms, Qin Yu's eyes were moist, and he hugged Xu Siyu tightly.

"Siyu is not a small wild seed! Siyu is not a small wild species! Xu Siyu couldn't hold back the grievances in his heart again, and hissed and cried bitterly in Qin Yu's arms, repeating the same words in his mouth.

"My family thinks about it, it's not a small wild seed, it's not a small wild seed." Holding the crying little girl in her arms tightly, Qin Yu kept repeating the words in her mouth.

"Siyu, don't cry, come to grandpa and hug you." Lin Cheng slowly took Xu Siyu from Qin Yu's arms, held her in his arms, kept patting her on the back, and said softly: "Okay, don't cry, don't cry, whose kid said it, grandpa will help you teach them a lesson, okay?" ”

Lin Cheng's words are not coaxing, he protects the calf, and he knows it in the village, and he does something similar because of this matter, he studied martial arts when he was young, and in the village, he is a well-known hunter with prestige.

Lin Yu picked up the puppy and coaxed Xu Siyu together, and after a long time, he stopped.

Xu Siyu hugged the puppy, like a tearful person, standing in front of Qin Yu, gasping, but not crying, Qin Yu took out the jade pendant from the neckline of her clothes, and put it in her hand.

The jade pendant is light blue, the color is slightly light, very light and somewhat bright, but in the jade pendant, there is a light white fragment, which is also somewhat clear, and the small fragment may also be jade; And around it, there are some bloodshots, and the shape of the bloodshot is a bit like the shape of a bird, to be precise, it should be like a phoenix or something like that, the wings formed by the bloodshot will protect the light white fragment in it, it is hard to imagine that there is such a rare scene in this jade pendant, and it is even more unimaginable that this jade pendant that knows that it is worth a lot of money has appeared in this remote mountain village.

Seeing that the light blue jade pendant in his palm was still there, Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and put it back into the collar of Xu Siyu's clothes.

"Mother, don't worry, I won't lose the jade pendant." Xu Siyu raised her delicate and immature little face, with a somewhat hoarse and choked voice, and reassured. Every time he has to check the behavior of the jade pendant, Xu Siyu has become accustomed to it.

"Silly girl." Qin Yu helped her wipe away the tears on her little face with pity.

"Siyu, let's plant flowers with 'Dudu', and we're going to eat later." Lin Yu mentioned the bamboo blue with flowers and smiled at Xu Siyu. Doodoo may be the name of the puppy.

"Well, good!" Hearing Lin Yu's voice, he nodded in response, Xu Siyu hugged the puppy and trotted over happily.

Looking at Xu Siyu's back, Qin Yu and Lin Cheng looked at each other and smiled slightly.

……

It was getting late, and it was time to cook dinner, and over Qingshui Village, bursts of smoke from cooking rice kept wafting, and it was like a paradise.

On the street, three or four children, six or seven years old, you chase me, I chase you, laughing and chasing; Among the four children, there was a delicate-looking, slightly older girl, who ran ahead, and while she ran desperately forward, she turned her head to the children who were chasing her behind her, making faces.

Looking at the children chasing on the street, the man slowly turned around, his brows furrowed, staring at the slightly obese teenager in front of him, and did not speak.

"Big brother, Lin Yu's kid..."

"Okay, you kid, is this white flesh long?" Seeing the man turn around, Zhu Ming was happy in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to complain, but he hadn't finished speaking; The man was impatient, waved his hand to interrupt Zhu Ming's words, looked Zhu Ming's slightly fat body up and down, and said helplessly.

Zhu Ming lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.

Looking at Zhu Ming, who was bowing his head in front of him, the man sighed secretly, shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "That's it, Lin Yu's kid, I will teach him a lesson." ”

Hearing this, there was a secret joy in his heart, Zhu Ming lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose unconsciously upward: "Lin Yu, you wait for me." I laughed in my heart, and not far away, the laughter of the children was also much more pleasant.

The children chased happily and happily, exuding a childlike atmosphere, and their laughter and slightly large childish voices spread throughout the village, making this somewhat quiet village a little more lively.

"Sister Xiaofeng, slow down, we can't catch up with you!"

"That's it, Sister Xiaofeng bullies people."

Among the children, a slightly smaller child stopped, panting, and looked at the little girl running in front of him a little weakly, dissatisfied, and the other little girl also stopped and gasped.

"You guys are so slow, hurry up and chase after you..."The girl who was called Sister Xiaofeng by the slightly younger boy who ran at the front, heard his voice, smiled, not only did not slow down, but sped up a few points, turned her head, stuck out her tongue behind her, made a grimace, and said with a smile.

The little girl named Xiaofeng, before she finished speaking, her voice stopped abruptly, and above the sky, a sharp arrow flew down, making a slight sound of breaking the wind, and the sharp tip of the arrow directly hit the little girl named Xiaofeng, piercing into the back of her head.

Her body was shot by the force of the arrow, and she rolled twice on the ground, lying on the ground in a strange position, the arrow piercing the back of the head, and the sharp tip of the arrow leaked out of her left eye! Bright red blood, from her left eye, and the wound on the back of her head, continued to flow slowly, slowly spreading on the bluestone ground, the scene was harmful.

The group of children suddenly stopped, looking at the sudden scene, but they did not come back to their senses for a while, they were all frozen in place, and suddenly there was silence, and the village was silent without their laughter, and there was silence for a moment, followed by a sharp cry, which spread throughout the village.

"Ahh Yes! Yes.......... ”

The children screamed and ran in all directions.

Zhu Ming lowered his head, and at this time, a burst of children's cries came into his ears, and he hurriedly raised his head to see what was happening, but a figure fell towards him, it was his eldest brother.

"Uh........"

"Big brother? What happened to you? Zhu Ming was pressed to the ground by his eldest brother's suddenly collapsed body, and asked in a panic, but he could only hear the man's voice.

I asked a few times, but I didn't hear an answer, and I couldn't even hear the slight "uh-uh" sound, when Zhu Ming suddenly saw that there were two arrows stuck in his eldest brother's back; His eyes immediately turned red, this is the big brother who grew up with him!

"Big brother?" Zhu Ming didn't know what was going on, tears flowed out of his eyes, and he called out tremblingly, but did not respond; Tears flowed out, he closed his eyes, looked up to the sky and shouted again: "Brother.............!"
