Yu said in a low voice: "Actually, I was aware of it before entering the mountain, I was indeed a burden, but I thought he just wanted to kick me out of the house, who knew that he wanted to eat me I found that there was a fire waiting for us in front of me, so I escaped before they were in trouble, but I was still stabbed, and then I was dazed, as if I heard something calling me, and somehow I got to this hole, and then I passed out, if you didn't crash in, I would definitely never wake up again." ”

Tian Ying'er said strangely: "Something is calling you? Could it be that there is someone else here?"

Yu smiled bitterly: "It's probably an illusion." ”

Tian Ying'er sighed.

The two fell silent at the same time, staring at the flickering firelight, their hearts written on their faces.

After half a ring, Yu suddenly said to himself: "My father told me that I was picked up by them from the sea, and if it weren't for them, maybe I would have been eaten by a fish long ago."

Tian Ying'er was dissatisfied: "What are you talking about? It's better to be eaten by a fish than to be eaten by someone!"

Yu smiled bitterly: "Really?"

Tian Ying'er said, "Of course!" After a pause, she said, "Don't you hate them?"

Yu said: "Hate, but I hate my biological parents even more!"

Tian Ying'er glanced at him and said, "Maybe they have a hard time?"

Yu said: "If there is a hardship, they should not give birth to me! Since I was a child, I have been called a wild seed by others, sent under the fence, and finally driven out of the house, they have a hardship, who has ever thought about my hardship?"

Tian Ying'er looked at him with sympathetic eyes, but she didn't know how to comfort him.

The two of them sat quietly like this, neither of them speaking.

Suddenly, there was a strange sound not far away.

The faces of the two changed, staring in the direction of the sound source, motionless.

In the darkness, the sound grew closer. Both of their hearts were in their throats.

I saw a snow rabbit limping out. The two of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other and smiled, both felt that this false alarm was quite funny, and they were actually frightened by a rabbit.

The rabbit was not afraid of people when he saw them, so he ran to the fire and squatted at Tian Ying'er's feet.

Tian Ying'er touched its head.

The rabbit's eyes narrowed.

Tian Ying'er saw that it was fat, honest, and well-behaved, so she took it into her arms, rubbed its body, and warmed it up. The rabbit was at her mercy and did not resist.

Yu fell into this situation, originally disheartened, at this time saw Tian Ying'er caressing the snow rabbit, but the heart couldn't help but feel a warmth, the previous frustration of complaining about the sky also faded a lot, said: "It looks very cold outside, even such a fat guy as it is frozen." ”

Tian Ying'er smiled: "It's not afraid of people. ”

If it was normal to catch such a big snow rabbit, most of the two of them would want to take it back so that their families can have a good meal, but now no one has this idea.

The rabbit lay in Tian Ying'er's arms like this, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

The two of them quietly looked at the rabbit, listened to the wind whistling outside the cave, felt the warmth of the flames, and felt lazy, with an inexplicable comfort, as if the whole world was left with the three of them.

"What a coincidence!" a familiar voice suddenly sounded.

The two of them looked up in horror, only to see a tall figure standing a few feet away, wearing animal skin clothes, carrying a wooden bow on his back, and holding a short knife with a cold light in his hand.

The person who came was Tian Ba.

Tian Ba is a rare hunter in the fishing village, he never goes to sea, and all his livelihood comes from the mountains. He was over forty years old, and lived alone in a remote part of the tribe to the west. On weekdays, he rarely interacts with people, only occasionally when someone has something to do, others will come to him for help, because he is burly and strong enough.

Tian Ying'er stood up.

Tian Ba glanced at Yu behind her and said, "You kid is so thin, I didn't expect this to be dead, my life is hard enough!"

Yu stared at him coldly, his eyes full of anger.

Tian Ba turned a blind eye to his anger, and said to Tian Ying'er: "You are very good, you played me all that day, and you can still run so far, hum, I said how can I not find a trace!"

Tian Ying'er's face turned pale and said, "What do you want?"

Tian Ba inserted the short knife into the leather sheath around his waist, patted his belly, and asked, "Where is my rabbit?"

Tian Ying'er and Yu were silent.

Tian Ba walked over and said, "Heh, it's here, what are you holding it for?" ”

Tian Ying'er protected the snow rabbit sleeping peacefully in her arms and took two steps back.

Yu gritted his teeth, supported the wall with his elbows, struggled to stand up, and said: "Uncle Tian Ba, one person does things and one person is responsible, the whole thing is because of me, I don't need to affect my family, if you want to eat me, even if you eat well, but Tian Ying'er is innocent, please let her go!"

Tian Ba smiled and said: "You kid is sensible, but it's a pity that it's a bit of a misfortune! However, the three of us can meet here again, and it can be regarded as a fate, so there is no need to say these bad words, give me the rabbit, let's have a good meal, reminisce about the old days, and when you are full, you also have the strength to go on the road." ”

Hearing this, Yu's face suddenly darkened, and he glanced at Tian Ying'er.

Tian Ying'er looked sad and shook her head.

Yu shouted in a low voice: "Hurry up!" As he spoke, he pounced on Tian Ba, hugged his waist with both arms, and shouted: "Leave me alone, go quickly!"

Tian Ba was burly, a whole head taller than Yu, and was startled when he saw that Yu dared to take the initiative to attack, but he immediately calmed down, and grabbed Yu's throat as soon as he stretched out his hand.

Yu's face turned from yellow to red, from red to purple, his eyes widened, and he said intermittently: "Go quickly"

Tian Ying'er shed tears and said, "I'm not leaving!"

Tian Ba's hand was stronger, Yu soon couldn't exert his strength, Tian Ba snorted coldly, pushed Yu away, and said: "If it weren't for the sake of this rabbit, Lao Tzu would be polite to you? Don't be embarrassed, provoke Lao Tzu, I'll take you to dinner now!"

Yu was pushed by him and fell to the ground, Tian Ying'er squatted down and helped Yu up, crying endlessly.

The two said almost in unison, "Why are you so stupid?" but the tone was different, one voice choked, the other lamented.

Tian Ba showed a look of disgust on his face and said, "Little ladies just like to cry and cry. Bring the rabbit over and don't make me say it a third time!"

Yu didn't hear it and held Tian Ying'er's hand.

Tian Ying'er raised her head with teary eyes.

Yu nodded at her and said softly, "Give me the rabbit." ”

Tian Ying'er was still a little hesitant.

Yu shook her hand and said in a low voice, "Don't worry." ”

Tian Ying'er lowered her head and silently handed the sleeping snow rabbit into Yu's arms.

Tian Ba said: "Count you as acquaintances!" was about to take over, but saw Yu put the snow rabbit on the ground and pushed its round and fluffy belly. The snow rabbit woke up inexplicably and squatted in place in a daze.

Yu reached out and tapped it on the head: "Let's go, little one." ”

The snow rabbit stayed for a while, as if she had finally figured out the situation, and then ran into the hole.

Tian Ba said angrily: "Damn it!"

Yu opened his arms and blocked Tian Ba's way, and there was no fear on his face.

Tian Ba put him in his eyes, and stretched out his hand to push: "Get out!"

Yu fell to the ground, regardless of the pain, and hugged Tian Ba's feet again.

Tian Ba kicked him away and scolded: "Are you looking for death?"

Yu spit out a mouthful of blood, his face turned pale, and said, "Anyway, it's all death, and there is a kind of you who will kill me now!"

Tian Bahuo pulled out his short knife and sneered, "You think I don't dare?"

Yu sneered: "You do it, I want to see how you can bring the corpses of the two of us back by yourself, maybe by the time you get home, we will already be rotting, haha"

Tian Ba was stunned when he heard this.

At this moment, a ball of fire suddenly fell on Tian Ba's neck. The animal skin clothes he was wearing, the animal hair burned when it caught fire, and in a blink of an eye, the fire became bigger and bigger, Tian Ba screamed in pain, and hurriedly gritted his teeth, stripped and rolled.

Tian Ying'er helped Yu up and shouted, "Run!"

The two of them staggered towards the cave.

Tian Ba's roar came from behind him: "Two little rabbit cubs, Lao Tzu wants to skin you and pump your tendons!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Tian Ying'er asked, "Are you okay?"

Yu said in a weak voice: "If your fire is slow down for a while, I will really be fine." ”

Tian Ying'er said angrily: "It's still a poor mouth at this time!"

The inside of the cave was pitch black, and the further you went, the warmer it became. The cave is surrounded by rocks on all sides, and the stone surface is smooth, as if it was naturally eroded by flowing water. Not long after walking, a fork in the road appeared in front of me.

Tian Ying'er asked, "How to go?"

Yu said: "Let's go separately." ”

Tian Ying'er glanced at him and said, "Don't even think about it, you think I don't know your mind!"

Yu sighed: "Whatever you want"

Before Tian Ying'er could speak, she suddenly felt something hit her leg and stomach, and then heard a slight sound from the left front.

"It seems to be the snow rabbit," Tian Ying'er was overjoyed.

Seeing Tian Ying'er turn left, Yu said, "Wait, go to the right!"

Tian Ying'er wondered, "Why?"

Yu looked a little strange and said, "I heard it again just now"

"What do you hear?"

"Something is calling me"

Tian Ying'er was stunned for a moment, listened attentively but heard nothing, and asked, "Are you dizzy?" Let's rest for a while. ”

Yu said: "This time it's not an illusion, it's real, this place, it's like I've been here before"

Tian Ying'er listened to him more and more outrageous, and said with a smile: "How could you have been here? Don't think about it, the snow rabbits are all going to the left, maybe there is a way out on the left?"

Yu Moran.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Tian Ying'er thought that he had agreed, and was about to leave, when Yu suddenly said, "You touch my hand." ”

Tian Ying'er listened, although she didn't know why, but she still touched Yu's hand, and when she touched it, she was startled, only to feel that Yu's hand was as hot as a soldering iron.

"How so?"

"I don't know," Yu said in a difficult tone, "My blood seems to be boiling"
