"I don't know. Finally, Ding Qin spoke, and he told the truth.

"I don't know?" The man was obviously not very satisfied with Ding Qin's statement. "This is something you bringed, and you don't know it?"

Nan Nan interjected at this time, "He has amnesia, and it is useless for you to ask." Take those things if you want. ”

The look of doubt in the man's eyes was even stronger, "Amnesia?

Soon, though, his expression changed. He put the red stuff away, "Forget it, it seems that what you said is true." What is this red, I'll take it to someone first, if it's really a good thing, I won't swallow it alone. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Ding Qin again, and intentionally or unintentionally stopped his gaze on Ding Qin's belt and silver moon. "You're an outsider here. If there is nothing to do, it is better to recuperate from your injuries and recuperate and leave, there are generally no outsiders in our village, and if you meet some people with bad tempers, knowing that there are outsiders here, it will not be good for you and their grandchildren. ”

Ding Qin said calmly, "I'm going to leave at night." Thanks for the reminder. ”

"At night?" the man rolled his eyes, "No, no, no! Not far from here, there are bandits in Heitou Mountain." Although you are an outsider, since we saved you, we are still responsible for your safety. The concept of our village has always been that peace, harmony, harmony generates wealth, win-win, sharing, and creating a better future. ”

When he said such a set, Ding Qin almost threw up. It's just a small mountain village, and you still have to shout slogans? Is there a big white slogan on the wall outside?

In addition, what kind of harmony makes money, Ding Qin didn't see it. When this man came just now, he obviously had the smell of threatening the grandfather and grandson.

Nan Nan is also straight at this time, "I said Qi Er, you are making up more and more smoothly." I think that in ancient times, you would have been able to participate in the imperial examination, right?"

Qi Lao Er obviously knew that this was hurting him, but he didn't show annoyance, but straightened his back, "Well, improving cultural quality, I should take the lead as a village head, as the saying goes, leaders take the lead, don't worry about anything, be a good example, and your eyes will shine." ”

Nan Nan was directly amused by him and laughed. But the old man, his face became more and more gloomy, "Second Qi, if you don't have anything to do, you can go." ”

Qi Lao Er laughed, "Okay, I'll go." Besides," he turned to Ding Qin, "you must not walk at night, those bandits are very strong." ”

Ding Qin didn't react.

Qi Lao Er glanced at the bag containing the red stone in his hand, sealed the mouth, took it and checked it again, and turned to leave. After he went out, the old man looked at the sky and said to Ding Qin, "If there is nothing wrong with your body, it is better to leave while it is dawn." ”

"Grandpa!" Nan Nan's face was obviously a little unhappy, "how can you chase away customers like this? First, he may not be completely cured, and second, although it is not dark now, it will not be long before it gets dark." Just like Qi Lao Er said, there are bandits on Heitou Mountain, if he encounters it, won't he lose his life in vain?"

The old man smiled bitterly, looked at the direction next door, and lowered his voice and said, "Who is Qi Er, don't you know? Do you think that he is really completely rich by fishing? The boss of the Qi family has long joined Heitou Mountain, burning, killing and looting, and has done everything." Qi Lao Er is the village chief who relies on him. Besides, what did he just come for? Obviously trying to blackmail us. When I saw him, I left, why? Eighty percent of them suspected that he had good things on him, and if he didn't succeed, he would rob them. If he doesn't leave now, I'm afraid that when it's too late, he may not be able to leave. ”

Nan Nan said, "Oh grandpa, where is it as complicated as you think." It hasn't been down in many years. ”

"It's not as complicated as I thought?" the old man's face was covered with a layer of sadness, "If your father and mother had listened to me and we fled overnight, maybe our family would not be at this level now." ”

If you still have something to argue, she listened to Ding Qin, "You two don't have to fight." I've already decided, I'll leave later. I am very grateful to you for your rescue. I don't want to give you any more trouble. ”

Nan Nan was a little surprised, "But your body ......"

Ding Qin smiled, "It's okay." I'm going to walk slower. Besides, once I leave, it's not easy to find me in the wilderness. ”

Nan Nan looked at her grandfather, hoping that her grandfather could keep Ding Qin. However, the old man didn't seem to mean this at all, and just said, "Well, I'll go and prepare some dried fish and meat for you." After walking from here, although there are other villages not far away, many of them have small populations, and it is difficult to say whether you have met a kind person to give you food. ”

Ding Qin nodded, "Thank you, uncle." In addition, I heard you say that this is Yangliu Village in Binhu Town. So in what direction is Binhu Town?"

The old man said, "Binhu Town is our central management town here, and it is estimated that it is one hundred and fifty or sixty miles southeast of our Yangliu Village. You must not go wrong. Because in the southwest direction, about fifty miles, is the Black Head Mountain, that is, the bandits' den. ”

Ding Qin said, "Don't worry, uncle. I've got my own measure. ”

The old man sighed lightly, "Hmm." You wait here, I'll get it. Because I don't know when you will be able to recover, so the things are ready and not done, and the picture is fresh. ”

The old man said this, which made Ding Qin still a little moved. Although the old man is a little cold in his attitude towards himself, it is only his objectivity and calmness after experiencing the world, which does not mean that he is a bad person, or that he is not warm-hearted.

Ding Qin went back to the house and lay down on the bed. To be honest, he knew that his body was still very weak, but after standing for a while, he already felt slightly tired. Moreover, the strange pain in his body was constant, which made him feel irritated from time to time.

Soon, the sound of chopping vegetables and pots and pans could be heard outside. About two hours later, the old man knocked on Ding Qin's door and brought in two large pots of things.

One of the pots is freshly grilled dried fish. The fish is golden in color, not a little burnt, and fragrant.

In the other pot, there were other dry foods, including baked dry cakes, fried rice, and a cloth bag containing some medicinal herbs.

Nan Nan followed in behind, holding a jug filled with water and a gray-black wrap.

The old man put everything on the table, "It's all ready for you." If you want to go, you should go earlier, so that you can walk more at dawn, and it is better to find a village. ”

Ding Qin nodded, picked out a part of the food from the basin, wrapped it, took the kettle and went out. At the door, he saluted the old man and the girl, and then never looked back.

In fact, he didn't notice that on a big tree next door, a child who seemed to be playing on the tree, saw him leave, quickly climbed under the tree, ran into the house, and reported to Qi Lao Er, who came before, "Daddy, I just saw that the man from the Nan Nan's house next door is gone!"

"Gone?" Qi Laoer's face changed. After that, he threw the tea he drank directly on the table, "Gone? Actually gone? I scared him, he actually left?"

After muttering a few words, he stood up and said to his son, "Go play." Tell your mother, I'll go out. ”

Walking out of the village, Ding Qin found that the area around the village was still relatively desolate. Although there is a short distance from the nearest village, and the land is flat, the land here is mainly sand and gravel, and there is not much soil suitable for the growth of crops, so it is mostly bare, and even if the crops are planted, they are extremely pitiful because of the difficulty of water and fertilizer management, and there is no harvest.

There is a kind of thatch, which appears every three or five times, and the growth is crazy. However, the leaves of this grass are very thin, not like it is edible, and the edge thorns of the grass are very hard, which may not be suitable for animal husbandry, so it can only be treated as a weed.

It is estimated that this is the reason why most of the houses in this village are thatched houses.

Although Ding Qin basically regained his mobility, as soon as he really walked, he found that his body was weak. After walking for about a mile, his legs were already heavy, and his breathing was gradually shortening, and after barely walking for more than two miles, he was already sweating all over, and even his hands began to tremble.

Luckily, there is a small forest in front of you. Ding Qinqiang walked over and sat under the tree. He rested his head on the trunk of the tree and closed his eyes.

This feeling of powerlessness can only be experienced by those who have become seriously ill.

After a long time, he touched the dry food brought from the old man, took out a piece of dried fish from it, and put it in his mouth. He barely had the strength to chew it, and held it in his mouth just to feel the saltiness of the dried fish.

"Bang. The sound of drawing a knife came to Ding Qin's ears. When he raised his head, he saw a man standing in front of him, holding a three-foot-long steel knife in his right hand, the tip of which was pointed directly at him.

The man was dressed in white, and even his head and face were covered with a white cloth, but he made an opening on the top of his head, revealing the hair underneath.

This kind of weird outfit, Ding Qin always finds it a little funny.

He didn't panic, and while taking the dried fish from his mouth and putting it back in the cloth bag for the time being, he said calmly, "What do you mean by that?"

In fact, Ding Qin himself felt strange. He seemed familiar with this kind of scene, and he didn't feel nervous. Some of the things in his memory seemed to be coming back again, but they were always suppressed by certain factors.

"What for?" the man's laughter sounded wicked. "Can't you see it?

"Robbery?" Ding Qin repeated, suddenly laughing. "I don't have anything now, what do you have to do? No, you can take my dried fish, right?"

The man's eyes narrowed visibly. He snorted coldly, "What do you mean? Look down on the uncle, don't you? Do you think I don't know the goods? A few broken dried fish can be worth a few dollars? If you want to buy your own life, just produce something good." Otherwise, I won't be worthy of my name!"

Ding Qin was stunned for a moment and looked at him, "What's your name?"
