Chapter 72: Discovering the Clues

The hunter listened to Xie Yunzhi's words and felt a little weak.

I didn't expect a doll of a few years old to be so wary, and I saw that he was not from Taoli Village.

"Well, I'm from the village next door to you, and when I was chasing a deer, I accidentally chased you to Taoli Village. Unfortunately, the deer ran away, so I walked around the hill to see if I could catch a good deal. ”

He touched his nose, and there was embarrassment and pleading in his tone.

"I didn't mean to, can you two little dolls not tell the adults of your village about this, I promise you, next time you won't cross the line again, okay?"

His expression was very sincere, with a flattering smile.

Xie Yunzhi saw that what he said was good, not like a fake, so he let down his guard.

"Okay, we promise you not to tell anyone."

Xiao Niannian listened to the man's words, and the doubts in his heart disappeared a little.

The people of this village know that there are fierce beasts in this mountain, and they usually do not set foot on it.

Only people who don't know about other villages have the courage to come in and hunt.

The hunter's smile deepened when he saw that they had agreed to his request.

"By the way, you two such small dolls, what are you doing in the mountains?"

Xie Yunzhi glanced at Xiao Niannian and saw that she didn't react, so he honestly told her situation.

"My sister and I were playing in the mountains and got lost. We've been walking for a long time and haven't found our way out, can you take us out? ”

"Yes." The hunter readily agreed.

"I'm going back anyway, so I'll give you a ride along the way. Follow me, walk this way for an hour and a half, and we'll be able to get out." ”

The hunter pointed to his diagonal back, asking Xie Yunzhi and Xiao Niannian to follow him.

"Thank you, uncle."

Xie Yunzhi gave a salute and took the lead in walking towards the hunter, and at the same time he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

With this hunter here, if they encounter a tiger again, they will not have no chance of survival.

What's more, this hunter is still a living signpost, and he will have to follow him if he can take him out of the forest.

If he and Xiao Niannian go out by themselves, I don't know when it will be.

If you're unlucky, you're likely to starve to death on this mountain.

Xiao Niannian glanced around, and also raised his heels.

Today's plans were all disrupted by Xie Yunzhi, so I won't check the water source for the time being.

After too much delay, the family would be worried if they found out that she was not at Aunt Wu's house.

Aunt Sheng will definitely be worried when she finds out that Xie Yunzhi is not at home.

Although Aunt Sheng is usually very strict with Xie Yunzhi, she can see that there is still a lot of concern hidden under the strictness.

She remembered that once, Xie Yunzhi was sick and had a high fever, and even Wang Yan said that it was dangerous and abnormal.

Aunt Sheng didn't eat or drink and accompanied Xie Yun for a day and a night, and the people were also a lot haggard.

Later, Xie Yun's life survived, and she returned to her cold-faced and cold-hearted appearance.

It's just that later, Aunt Sheng forced Xie Yunzhi to get up early every day to exercise.

Not only do you have to run, but you also have to learn martial arts from the master you invited.

Since then, Xie Yunzhi has rarely gotten sick.

Also, Xie Yunzhi was a picky eater when he first came.

I don't eat much of anything, and the whole person is thin and thin.

So, Aunt Sheng sent someone to Kyoto to buy a cook at a high price.

Xiao Niannian has also eaten the food cooked by the cook, the taste is a little light, she doesn't like it very much, and she thinks that the food made by her father is not as delicious.

But Xie Yunzhi likes it very much.

Since the cook came, Xie Yunzhi has eaten a lot, and his whole person has become a lot richer and healthier.

These things were all heard by Xiao Niannian when her mother and father were chatting.

Otherwise, she didn't know that when Aunt Sheng faced Xie Yun, there was another kind of warmth under that cold face.

She felt that Aunt Sheng just wanted Xie Yunzhi to be promising.

That's why the love is deep and the responsibility is keen.

But Aunt Sheng didn't think that for a seven-year-old child, Xie Yunzhi was already very promising.

Xiao Niannian raised his eyes and looked at the little boy in a sky blue jacket in front of him.

He walked with his back straight, his eyes staring straight ahead, and he walked behind Orion without hesitation.

is only seven years old, and he already has an elegant temperament.

Except for that stinky face, the rest of the place is quite pleasing to the eye.

That Orion is also a talkative, and he kept talking to Xie Yun on the road.

Xie Yunzhi has been responding appropriately out of politeness.

Xiao Niannian learned from their conversation that this hunter's surname was Zhang and he lived in Xinshan Village next door.

"This winter, the prey is just hard to fight. You see, I've been fighting all morning, and I haven't hit anything. ”

Zhang Da spread his hands, his face full of helplessness.

"I finally found a fawn, and I lost it."

After Xiao Niannian observed him for a while, he asked unintentionally, "Uncle Zhang, what kind of paper is that deer you are chasing?" ”

Zhang Da glanced back at Xiao Niannian who asked.

Seeing her innocent look, I just thought that she had never seen a deer, so she was curious to ask.

So he replied casually with a smile: "It's just an ordinary fawn, with two big horns, and it can run fast, otherwise I wouldn't have lost it." ”

Xiao Niannian remained silent and asked, "Uncle Zhang, what color is the fawn?" ”

Zhang Da felt that they were just two little dolls who didn't understand anything, and he looked unimpressed.

"Deer, aren't they all brown, can there be other colors?"

"Oh~ I see." Xiao Niannian praised with a smile, "Uncle Zhang knows so many things, it's really annoying!" ”

"Of course, I'm not good, who's good."

Zhang Da was praised and excited, turned his head and gave Xiao Niannian an appreciative look, and walked a little flutteringly.

This kid is really coaxing, just take it seriously.

Xiao Niannian flattered him on the surface, but quietly pulled Xie Yunzhi's sleeve behind his back.

Xie Yunzhi turned around, and she immediately glanced at him, wanting to tell him that there was something wrong with this hunter.

Only adult male deer grow large horns, and the hunter said that the fawns have big horns.

Xiao Niannian was afraid that he had made a mistake, so he asked him again if the deer was the color.

But the hunter confidently said that all the deer were brown.

But no experienced hunter would say such a thing.

Different deer have different hair colors at different times, and even some deer in different seasons.

Grandpa's farm also has several different breeds of deer, so she still knows a little about deer.

She was not on a whim, but had always been skeptical of the hunter's presence.

Generally, after the mountain is closed in winter, few hunters still go out to hunt.

In winter, most of the animals hibernate, and even if you go into the mountains, you can't hunt anything.

What's more, entering the depths of such a big mountain is completely thankless.

This surnamed Zhang ran into the mountains in the winter, how can people not doubt it.

And this is not what Xiao Niannian doubts the most.
