Xie Yuanjiu's face was solemn and he shook his head, but he pretended to be relaxed.

"Fortunately, I only stole half of it, and she was quite righteous when she said it, so she didn't take it all for me."

The torch in Yao Wenjing's hand slipped to the ground, and the whole person slid down the stone wall, she squatted on the ground, buried her head in her knees, and then cried suppressedly.

"Uncle Yuan Jiu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I hurt you."

Thanks to Xie Yuanjiu's quick eyes, he picked up the torch, so he didn't ignite the weeds that he was sleeping.

At this moment, Xie Yuanjiu's heart was also extremely heavy.

Originally, after Feng Chunyan's incident happened five years ago, he didn't trust anyone anymore, and when he went back to the cave to put his luggage this morning, he had a brief worry, this Huang Mi and Yao Wenjing were just walking together on the way up the mountain, whether they were really reliable.

But for some reason, at that moment, he still chose to believe, maybe it was just because he had an instinctive trust in Yao Wenjing.

Since he saved her on the mountain last time, he saw with his own eyes the wisdom and fortitude of this little girl in the face of Luo Xin and Luo Jinshan, which made him a little embarrassed as a big man.

And her filial piety to her grandmother is also touching.

So in Xie Yuanjiu's opinion, Yao Wenjing's friends should be the same as her, and they should not be suspicious, but who knew that such a thing would happen.

Fortunately, when he hid Cordyceps in the crack of the stone, he kept an eye on it and divided the Cordyceps into two parts to hide, and he was sure that if he didn't know that there was something inside, it would be unlikely that people who passed through this cave would know that there was something in the hidden stone crevice.

The only person who knew which crack he had hidden in the stone was Huang Xiaomi, who was lying there after she was sick, and from where she was lying, she could only see the one he had hidden first.

Now, that one is gone, and the one hidden behind me is still there.

If she hadn't taken it, who else could it be?

Isn't it enough to have a Feng Chunyan five years ago, shouldn't you have a longer memory, and now you still have to believe in people indiscriminately?

He even scolded himself hatefully in his heart, when is it, he still has to go to the flood of sympathy, if he took the dug cordyceps in the morning and went down the mountain smoothly according to the original plan, why would such a thing happen now.

However, he doesn't seem to have sympathy for Yao Wenjing?

Looking at Yao Wenjing, who was squatting on the ground full of guilt, her tearful appearance made her heart hurt a little, and she couldn't wait to hug her and comfort her.

"Jing girl, it's okay, isn't it just a little cordyceps, let's dig it again, isn't it just that there is nothing to eat, tomorrow I will go hunting game, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and I can always get through."

She is still just a child, and she has not experienced the sinister hearts of people in society, if he is asked to choose again, he will probably choose to stay and accompany Yao Wenjing to continue digging Cordyceps in the mountains.

Because he couldn't imagine what such a little girl would face if she was left alone on the mountain.

It's as if he was born to protect her.

At this moment, Xie Yuanjiu has already decided in his heart that it doesn't matter if he steals his own things, it's a big deal to work harder, but to deceive Jing Yatou's trust to achieve her goal and hurt her emotions, such a person must teach her a lesson.

At this moment, even though the emotions in his heart were so turbulent, Xie Yuanjiu couldn't bear to stand still.

Because except for his grandfather, no one has ever been able to make him have such a strong desire to protect.

He was frightened by the thought of himself.

After a long time, his voice came over, deliberately suppressing the full distress.

"Jing girl, everything has happened, we can only accept it, let's rest first, and talk about other things tomorrow, don't worry, we won't die on this mountain, I'm here."

As he spoke, Xie Yuanjiu had already retreated, he used a lot of dead branches to hide the entrance of the cave, and the light of the fire outside also dimmed, and then spread some weeds next to the fire.

Lying on the top, like a guardian saint, guarding Yao Wenjing inside.

Yao Wenjing felt guilty and blamed herself, coupled with the fact that she couldn't accept such a yellow millet, all kinds of complicated feelings came to her face.

Could it really be that she did it? But when they went up the mountain together, her voice of her sweet call to her sister along the way seemed to be still in her ears.

She talked about her attachment to her mother, and the expectation when she went to her father after making money, which always made Yao Wenjing unable to connect her with a liar, and she also tried to deceive her under the pretext of illness, and finally stole everything from them.

It's like a 15-year-old kid doing something.

She didn't believe she would do it.

Also, Uncle Yuan Jiu didn't say anything, was he already angry, that's right, he must be angry, he should also be angry, blame himself, if he didn't let him leave his luggage in the cave, at least the loss was not so heavy.

He didn't let himself lose money, and he didn't blame himself for believing in people indiscriminately.

And said that you want to protect her?

The sentence he just said was with me, and at first I thought it was just a casual sentence from him.

But the way he is guarding outside now makes people feel safe, and in the dark, Yao Wenjing burst into tears.

In this life, oh no, including in the previous life, no one has been so kind to her, no matter what happens, she is alone.

was messing around in his head, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep, and suddenly wanted to say something to Xie Yuanjiu.

She poked her head out and asked softly.

"Uncle Yuan Jiu, have you slept?"

In the dark, she saw Xie Yuanjiu's eyes, and he was also looking at her, his eyes were bright, but at the moment when the four eyes met, he moved away in a panic.
