Zhuang Meiyan and Xiaobai finally turned out of the dense forest, saw a hill that seemed to be inhabited, and were about to step forward to ask for help, but they heard someone shouting: "Who?"

In the bushes beside it, there was a lot of darkness, and it was impossible to tell where the sound came from.

Zhuang Meiyan was shocked in her heart, but she heard that it was a man's angry shout, so she said: "This eldest brother, the little woman is the daughter of the Orion family under the mountain, and she went into the mountains with her younger brother to dig wild vegetables, met the mountain wolf, and escaped by luck, but she got lost in the mountains because it was dark. ”

The bushes suddenly parted, revealing a fierce face, and a reckless man strode up to them, staring at them suspiciously.

Someone poked his head out of the hill and asked them a few words, probably asking them what they were from, and the reckless man replied that the mountain people here were lost, and after saying that, he called them over.

Although the night was dark, Zhuang Meiyan saw that the reckless man had a beard all over his face, extremely fierce, and his eyes were full of murderous aura, and he couldn't help but feel worried in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of place this place was, and who lived in these people?

Approaching the hill, someone came down to answer and led them into a mud-walled compound, Zhuang Meiyan saw clearly, it turned out that the large black shadow that looked vague on the hill turned out to be the earthen wall of this compound. There were several torches lit in the compound, and there were more than a dozen people inside, all dressed in khaki suits, some with iron helmets on their heads, and weapons in their hands or around their waists, either knives or bows and arrows.

Zhuang Meiyan suddenly realized that this place was not the residence of ordinary people, it turned out to be a forward outpost stationed on the border between the mountains and forests of the Northland. Is it any wonder she feels murderous?

A row of rooms in the wing of the compound were soldiers' quarters and warehouses, and the door of the main room was open, and inside was a man in a white battle robe, not tall, who was bent over, with his back to them, looking down intently at the marching map spread out on the wooden table, and carefully gesturing with his fingers.

The soldier led them to the door and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, those two men have already been brought here." ”

Zhuang Meiyan bent her knees slightly, blessed with a blessing, and said in a low voice: "The little woman Zhuang Meiyan sees the commander, thank you for taking it in." Meiyan and her brother only stay for one night, and they will leave tomorrow. ”

Hearing this, the man slowly turned around, Zhuang Meiyan was stunned, and couldn't help laughing.

The man also smiled and said, "Miss Zhuang, we meet again." ”

Zhuang Meiyan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Brother Chu, why are you?"

It turned out that the man was Chu Yifan's eldest brother Chu, but a few months ago, when Zhuang Meiyan and Xiaobai were besieged by two big men, thanks to Chu Yifan's righteous rescue. Zhuang Meiyan didn't expect that she was so coincidental, and she happened to come to the sentry post where Brother Chu was by mistake.

Chu Yifan saw that they were embarrassed, so he ordered the military doctor to come over and show them how their injuries were. Zhuang Meiyan was fine, only a few scratches on his arms and face, but Xiaobai's injuries were not light, his clothes were torn, and he was covered in blood.

Chu Yifan and Zhuang Meiyan first talked a few words, Chu Yifan asked about the current situation of Jiang Yutang, Zhuang Meiyan was about to answer, but there was a commotion outside.

The two of them heard the commotion outside, so they went to the courtyard. I saw that in a remote corner of the courtyard, Xiaobai was curled up and hiding there, hanging his head slightly, and his body was still trembling. Not far from him, the medic flicked his fingers in anger and shouted at him.

"You mad dog! kindly help him see his wounds, and bite people when he opens his mouth. ”

Zhuang Meiyan didn't know what was going on, it seemed that the military doctor wanted to help Xiaobai treat his injuries, Xiaobai somehow resolutely disagreed, and in a hurry, he bit someone, and ran to the corner and squatted and refused to come out.

Zhuang Meiyan hurriedly apologized, and Chu Yifan also stopped the military doctor and ordered the soldiers to disperse. Although he did not speak much, and his voice was not loud, he had his own majesty, and the soldiers respected him very much.

Zhuang Meiyan cautiously approached Xiaobai and asked gently, "What's wrong?"

Xiaobai raised his head, his face was full of grievances, he pulled the broken placket to wrap his body, and said stubbornly: "He is a bad person, he takes off my clothes, he wants to see Xiaobai's white flesh, and the flesh is not shown to him, but left to the lady." ”

He actually smiled very smugly. Zhuang Meiyan was embarrassed, fortunately the crowd in the courtyard had dispersed at this time, otherwise Zhuang Meiyan was really embarrassed, and he was about to scold him with a straight face, but he looked at himself pitifully with those black eyes, and could only sigh.

Chu Yifan asked the military doctor for gold sore medicine cloth strips and the like, handed it over, and said with a smile: "I know that this brother's mind is different from ordinary people, I will explain it to those brothers." Since he is your father-in-law, it is better for you to treat his injuries, I think they are all skin injuries, and they are fine. ”

Zhuang Meiyan saw that Chu Yifan had misunderstood, and she couldn't argue, she blamed Xiaobai for always screaming in front of people, and now the explanation was useless, she could only take the medicine powder, turned around and glanced at Xiaobai, but the latter only knew how to laugh innocently.

Zhuang Meiyan helped Xiaobai into the house, carefully cleaned the wound, sprinkled the medicinal powder, and wrapped it in a clean white cloth. She was a little annoyed in her heart, and she didn't laugh with Xiaobai with a straight face, but just bandaged in a muffled voice, although Xiaobai didn't understand, she also saw that Zhuang Meiyan's face was not good, and she knew that she was in a bad mood and didn't dare to say more. Zhuang Meiyan occasionally had a heavier hand and touched the wound, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, at most making some embarrassing expressions.

After treating the wound, Xiaobai's whole body was tightly wrapped, and his chest was tightly wrapped in white cloth. Zhuang Meiyan picked up Xiaobai's shirt and told him to put it on, although it was damaged in some places, he could barely cover his body. When helping him tidy up his clothes, Zhuang Meiyan suddenly remembered something.

"Xiaobai, where is your jade pendant?"

When she bandaged Xiaobai's wound just now, she felt as if something was missing, and she couldn't think of it for a while, and when she helped him tidy up his clothes, she suddenly remembered that Xiaobai had been hanging a heart-shaped blood jade ornament with a red rope around her neck, and now why is it gone.

When Zhuang Meiyan said this, Xiaobai just rolled his eyes and shook his head blankly.

Zhuang Meiyan knew that it was also in vain to ask him, I am afraid that when he was fighting with the evil wolf in the forest before, he fell to the ground by mistake, and no one could care about it in the chaos. That accessory is related to Xiaobai's life experience, but it is extremely important, Zhuang Meiyan couldn't help but say anxiously: "Oh!

Chu Yifan happened to step into the door, and when he heard her words, he was surprised: "What's good, what's good? What important things did you lose? I'll ask my brothers to help you find it." ”

Zhuang Meiyan hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, it's just that I was in a hurry on the road, and a piece of jade pendant fell off, and it is not too late to find it tomorrow, so I don't need to bother you big brothers." ”

Chu Yifan was not reluctant, he brought some food, put it on the table, Xiaobai's eyes lit up, he didn't need Chu Yifan to be polite at all, he immediately sat down at the table and munched on it. He broke open the snow-white steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth slowly, while turning his head and vaguely greeting Zhuang Meiyan.

"Lady, lady, eat steamed buns, delicious! delicious!"

Zhuang Meiyan sat down with a smile, and Si Swenwen picked up a steamed bun. Chu Yifan also sat at the table, watching the little white wolf with great patience. Suddenly, he asked.

"Miss Zhuang, what jade did you just say?"

This didn't come a word, which made Zhuang Meiyan "chuckle" in her heart.
