When I entered the guest room with Lao Jiang and Lin'er, Lao Wen was sitting on a chair, panting heavily, and Granny Gu was holding a wet towel and wiping the forehead of the child on the bed.

"How's it going?" I walked to the bedside to check on the child's condition and asked Granny Gu.

Granny Gu smiled at me: "My life has been saved, I guess I will wake up in a while." ”

I was relieved to hear her say that.

It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive.

Qing Yazi said jokingly on the side: "For such an unmasked child, do you think it's worth delaying for so long?" ”

"What's not worth it," I said, glancing at him, "I suspect that this kid may have witnessed what happened in the old village, and that he is a very important clue." ”

Qingyazi grinned at me: "Oh, you saved him, just because, he's a clue?" ”

"Even if not, I can't watch him die, can I?" In my eyes, Qing Yazi's words are simply inexplicable.

I don't know what Qing Yazi thinks, but at this time, he looked at me with very surprised eyes, and said, "You are detached so quickly." ”

I didn't bother to take care of him, took out a bottle of water from my backpack, handed it to Lao Wen, who was now in prostration, took the water bottle, and smiled weakly.

Lin'er is the first time to see the big and the black, for these two little guys, she showed full curiosity, and kept pulling the big and the black to ask that, the little black didn't seem to treat her very well, and she looked like she didn't like to answer, Da Hei and Lin'er were quite close to each other, and they kept asking Lin'er to eat peanuts.

I walked to the window and looked at the moonlight outside, now it is past the middle time, in another seven or eight hours, Li Huaishan and the three of them should also enter the village, to be honest, I used to always act with Li Huaishan, but now that he is not by my side, I am really a little uncomfortable.

At two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, the boy I had rescued finally woke up, he was in good spirits, at least he was conscious, but he was very vigilant in front of everyone, but whenever anyone wanted to get near him, he became extremely nervous.

Granny Gu said that our gang are all practicing family members, and they are angry, so let us go out first, she stayed in the house to take care of the child, Lin'er originally wanted to stay, but she was also driven out by Granny Gu.

After we left the room, we didn't go far, but sat in the doorway, eavesdropping on the movement in the room.

Granny Gu does have a way of dealing with children, she chatted with the child for a while, at first the child was very resistant, but fortunately, Granny Gu has profound skills, and after chatting a few more words, the child let down his guard.

Listening to the child himself, his surname is Jin, and he was adopted by a widower in the village from the river, and he didn't know who his biological parents were.

The widower who adopted Xiao Jinzi is the ranger of this generation, his surname is He, because of an accident in his early years, he was unable to get married and have children, but fortunately he picked up Xiao Jin nine years ago, and he can be regarded as having a companion.

The ranger's surname is He, why is this kid's surname Jin? Xiao Jinzi himself can't explain this, he just said that the ranger has always refused to let Xiao Jinzi call him "Dad", and over the years, Xiao Jinzi has been calling him "Uncle He".

Even if I am a fool, when I hear this, I can probably guess that Xiao Jinzi's life story is probably not so simple, and this ranger surnamed He may not have picked him up from the side of the river, I suspect that the ranger and Xiao Jinzi's parents may have known each other for a long time.

Later, Granny Gu and Xiao Jinzi chatted about some things in a mixed manner, and it took a long time to get to the point.

Granny Gu asked him how he was so hungry.

Xiao Jinzi said that at the beginning of this year, he followed Uncle He to the side of the river to check, and found that there was an abnormality in the upper reaches of the river, and there was a very clear waterfall in that place, but I don't know why, when they went to check, they found that the water of the waterfall turned black and green like ink.

When Uncle He saw the scene, he concluded on the spot that something was going to happen in the village, and after he returned home with the little gold, he hurriedly packed his luggage, saying that he was going out to do something, and told the little gold that before he came back, he must not drink the water in the village, nor eat the things in the village, let alone tell the people in the village that the water of the waterfall had changed color.

Xiao Jinzi didn't know why his Uncle He said that, but Uncle He didn't want to explain, and he couldn't ask more.

It's just that he didn't expect that Uncle He originally said that he would be rescued in two or three days, but this time he left, it was more than half a year.

Granny Gu asked Xiao Jinzi how he survived during this time.

Xiao Jinzi said that he had learned a lot about survival in the mountains from Uncle He, and since Uncle He left, he had gone to the forest, dug a semi-circular pit in the ground during the day, and spread a layer of plastic paper in it so that he could collect dew. In addition, there is some fruit in the mountains, and he can dig honey, make fires, and make traps for rabbits, but he can't go hungry.

Hearing this, Lao Jiang frowned and looked over to me.

I nodded and didn't say anything.

In fact, I probably heard it from Xiao Jinzi's words, the forest ranger surnamed He seemed to have known that something would happen in the village sooner or later, so he taught him these survival methods in advance. Lao Jiang frowned at me just now, indicating that she also thought of this.

At the beginning, Xiao Jinzi did not worry about eating and drinking in the mountains and forests, but he was not afraid that Uncle He would not come back, but since last week, it seems that there are other people who have entered the forest, and almost overnight, the wild fruits in the surrounding mountains and forests have been eaten up, and the traps made cannot catch anything.

Now Xiao Jinzi panicked, the things in the stockade could not be eaten, there was nothing to eat in the forest, he knew that if he continued like this, he would definitely be starved to death.

While he still had the strength, Xiao Jinzi thought about leaving the village and going outside to find Uncle He, he remembered that there was a gas station along the road outside the house all the way north to the north, and the people there knew him Uncle He and knew Uncle He's mobile phone number.

To say that this village is also poor, in the huge village, only the ranger has a mobile phone, in addition to this mobile phone, the only phone in the village is a landline in the inn.

It is said that after the 60s of the last century, the entire Xiangxi region has become rich, and I don't know what is going on with this village now.

When Xiao Jinzi was about to leave the village, the villagers seemed to sense that he was leaving, and actually stopped him at the entrance of the village.

If it was placed in the past, the people in the stockade were very good to Xiaojinzi, but those who didn't know what was wrong, the people in the stockade seemed to be crazy, grabbed his arm, and pulled him back stiffly. He sat on the ground and cried, asking the villagers around him what was wrong and why they didn't let him out, but those people seemed to die because they couldn't hear him, and let him cry and shout, but no one answered.

Since then, Xiao Jinzi can no longer leave the village, he can't go to the gas station, he can't go to the mountains, and whenever he tries to get out of the village, someone will stop him and forcibly drag him back.

Xiao Jinzi said that these people really seemed to feel that he was leaving, and sometimes he took a path into the mountain that no one was like, and he could be stopped halfway through.

Relying on the little water and food stored earlier, Xiao Jinzi was stunned to support himself in the village for seven days, plus he had lived in the forest for more than half a year as a savage, and his body was already weak, and he almost killed him in the past seven days.

If you want to say that this kid is also lucky, it is thanks to me and Lin'er, otherwise, he would have become a skeleton by now.

At this time, Granny Gu asked Xiao Jinzi: "You have been in the village for so long, haven't you seen anything scary?" ”

"See," Xiao Jinzi's tone became very frightened, but he still finished his words with a trembling voice: "This crazy woman is locked up in an old building under the stockade, and there are three monsters living with her. ”

Granny Gu's tone became very gentle: "Then you tell grandma, what kind of monster is living with her?" ”

"That's it...... It is...... It's a bit like a human, with several legs and several arms......"

In the end, Xiao Jinzi was so frightened that she sobbed.

The reassuring voice of Granny Gu came from the house: "What a poor child, okay, okay, don't think about this, sleep well." ”

I don't know what kind of tricks Gu Granny used, but within a few seconds, there was a soft snoring sound from Xiaojin in the house.

Granny Gu pushed the door out, she guessed early in the morning that we would eavesdrop at the door, the wooden door had just opened a gap, and the light didn't wait for much light to come out, so she asked: "If not, what do you think about the little gold?" ”

I took out a cigarette and lit it, spit out a puff of mist, and said slowly: "This kid's Mandarin speaks better than mine." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lao Jiang laughed.

But I didn't smile at all, and then said, "The ranger who raised him should be someone from outside. ”

"Well, I think so too," Granny Gu nodded and said, "But a few times ago, I brought people from the Eighteen Mountains to the village, but I didn't find that there are still people in the cultivation circle in this place." ”

"The ranger is not necessarily a practitioner," I put the cigarette in my mouth and thought for a moment before adding, "He is most likely killed by now." ”

Granny Gu suddenly frowned, and Lao Jiang muttered, "Killed?" ”

I said, "Well, if he lives well, he will definitely come back to find little gold." You think, if this ranger has no feelings for Little Gold, how can he raise Little Gold to such a big age, and if he doesn't have feelings, he won't teach Little Gold how to survive in the wild. I think the reason why he didn't take Xiao Jinzi with him when he left the village was because he knew early on that once he left the village, he would most likely encounter accidents. ”

Speaking of this, I paused for a moment, and after a while, I said to everyone: "The top priority is to get back to the woman surnamed Xu as soon as possible, and I will contact the organization and ask them to check the details of the rangers, and they should be able to find out." ”
